What this episode covers
The SAVE America Act sits stalled in the U.S. Senate while four Republican holdouts and a recess block the most consequential election integrity legislation in our generation — and Jenny Beth Martin just flew to Alaska to make sure Senator Lisa Murkowski’s constituents know it. On this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth recaps her on-the-ground organizing trip with Scott Pressler before turning to two heavy-hitters with a packed news agenda. Ken Cuccinelli — former Attorney General of Virginia, former Acting Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative — breaks down President Trump’s just-signed 2026 National Counter-Terrorism Strategy that elevates Mexican drug cartels above Al-Qaeda and ISIS for the first time in U.S. history, and walks through every constitutional violation Virginia Democrats committed to push their 10-to-1 congressional gerrymander to the Virginia Supreme Court. Rod Martin — political commentator and founder and chief executive of Martin Capital — analyzes Indiana’s Tuesday-night earthquake where six Republican incumbents were defeated by Trump-backed challengers in a single primary night, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Voting Rights Act ruling, the Tennessee Shelby County redistricting vote, and the FBI raid on Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas. Plus: Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, the historic milestone marking Justice Clarence Thomas as the second-longest-serving Supreme Court justice in American history, a Constitution Minute on originalism, and a tribute to media icon Ted Turner. Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to pass the SAVE America Act. More at jennybethshow.com and teapartypatriots.org.
