In this episode, join us for an in-depth conversation with Senator Mike Lee as he breaks down the SAVE Act—a groundbreaking bill aimed at safeguarding American elections by requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration. Co-introduced with Congressman Chip Roy, the legislation tackles the critical issue of non-citizen voting and vote dilution, ensuring only citizens decide our nation's future. Senator Lee discusses how President Trump's endorsement has amplified its urgency, the accepted forms of citizenship proof that balance accessibility with security, and why it empowers voters rather than restricting them. We'll dive into responses to critics, including Senate Leader Chuck Schumer's "Jim Crow 2.0" label, and explore how the bill mandates cleaner voter rolls using tools like the DHS SAVE system to prevent fraud without burdening states. Amid low public trust in elections, learn how the SAVE Act could restore faith by combating improper registrations and foreign interference, while fostering bipartisanship on election integrity. Plus, Senator Lee advocates for reviving the talking filibuster to promote real debate and accountability in the Senate, walking through its mechanics and how it could help pass commonsense reforms like this. Discover what enacting the SAVE Act means for fair, secure elections for generations—and how it would be enforced at federal and state levels. Tune in for a timely discussion on protecting democracy's core principles!
