What this episode covers
Jenny Beth Martin and Scott Presler took the SAVE America Act fight to Alaska — and the crowds in Fairbanks and Anchorage met them with the kind of energy that puts Senate leadership on notice. In this special recap episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth pulls back the curtain on the grassroots pressure campaign to flip Senator Lisa Murkowski to yes on the SAVE America Act, the bill that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo voter ID to cast a ballot in federal elections. You'll hear Jenny Beth's full account of how the SAVE America Act came together. From a 2024 conference call with Senator Mike Lee and election attorney Cleta Mitchell, to House passage 218 to 213 under Speaker Mike Johnson, to the four Republican senators who voted to block it from the budget reconciliation package: Mitch McConnell, Tom Tillis, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski. Scott Presler names the no-votes directly, lays out the call-to-action at the Capitol switchboard (202-224-3121), and pledges to return to Alaska for the 2028 Senate primary if voters repeal ranked-choice voting on Ballot Initiative #2. Featured guest Bernadette Wilson, candidate for Governor of Alaska, joins host Robert McNeily on the ground in Anchorage to explain why ranked-choice voting must go. Jenny Beth also reflects on the third assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the fight, fight, fight response that should focus every grassroots conservative on November.
