this whole thing with voter id have you guys seen what scott jennings did with cnn on voter id how how how have you seen that clip okay perfect they were so cornered only one house democrat voted in favor of voter id proof of citizenship in u.s elections so people want real people voting we want everybody to just be straight up about it but one house representative Passed a massive election integrity bill on Wednesday despite opposition from the vast majority of Democrats. This is the SAVE Act that they're talking about. The Democrat, the House of Representatives legislation that's aimed at keeping non-citizens from voting in the U.S. federal elections, but all but one House Democrat, Representative Henry Suelar.

Democrat Texas voted against the bill. It passed 218 to 213. It is an updated version of the Safeguarding America Voter Eligibility, also led by Roy Williams. representative, Republican Texas, which passed the House April of 2025 but was never taken up to Senate. So, what is this, Rob? This is the Democrat?
Patrick Bet-David 1:07
This is the statement, yep, from the Democrat. Can you read that, Rob? I support the Save America Act because I believe in a fundamental principle. American citizens should decide American elections. That principle strengthens our democracy and protects the value of every vote. This is the same secure but practical approach Texas already uses. Strong photo ID standards with real fallback options. And it's a big reason Texas has some of the strongest election security laws in the country. I want to explain clearly what this bill does and does not do. If you are already registered to vote, the status of your existing registration remains unchanged for those registering for the first time. The bill also reflects real life.
Patrick Bet-David 1:47
People get married, people get divorced and people change their names. Those moments should never create uncertainty about whether someone can vote. That's why this bill requires states to accommodate name changes and accept multiple commonly held forms of identification. And if a citizen does not have those documents readily available, the bill provides a way to affirm citizenship through an affidavit. This approach protects election integrity while treating eligible voters with fairness and respect. There you go. At the end of the day, election security and voter access go together.

Scott Jennings 2:52
Who writes? Is he taking away from black voters?
Unknown 2:55
Oh, if we look at... The SAVE Act?
Scott Jennings 2:56
The SAVE Act.
Unknown 2:57
That's exactly what we're talking about. That is actually going to continue to disenfranchise overwhelmingly a lot of people of color. There are so many civil rights organizations that have run the data. If we look at the way that it is going to disenfranchise black voters, it's the same reason why Chuck Schumer called it Jim Crow 2.0. This is the same president. If we want to continue... You haven't said how yet. I am talking about it. It's the way that you're putting new poll taxes on this when you're making people have... That's what we can call them now. It's kind of an idiom, right? If you want to say that people have to prove that they are citizens, that they have to prove with a voter ID, the reality is you're layering what is a constitutional right for the American people and making it harder for people to vote in this country, and it's going to disenfranchise black voters.
Scott Jennings 3:42
