What this episode covers
The Supreme Court's final day of its term delivered a gut punch on election integrity — and the conservative movement had an answer ready within the hour. On the last day of the term, the Court upheld men competing in women's sports is prohibited by state law, struck down McCain-Feingold's limits on coordinated party spending, and allowed birthright citizenship to stand for children born to parents here illegally. And the day before, in Watson v. Republican National Committee, the Court ruled that states may continue counting mail-in ballots for days after Election Day. The answer to all of it: pass the SAVE America Act. Jenny Beth Martin is joined by Cleta Mitchell, founder of the Election Integrity Network and senior legal fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute, and Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action. Together they break down why 50 Senate votes are sitting on the table while arcane Senate filibuster rules block a bill that over 80% of Americans support. Cleta explains the parliamentary roadblock in plain English — and what grassroots pressure on Senators Tillis, Cassidy, Murkowski, Cornyn, and Collins can actually accomplish. The panel also covers the Humphrey's Executor ruling restoring presidential authority over federal agencies, why President Trump is right that socialism is the biggest threat since the founding, and what Cleta and Robert want Americans to carry into the nation's 250th birthday.
