Today, our question is from Felicity from Bridgeport, Connecticut, who writes, The House has passed the SAVE Act. It is currently in the Senate, and its fate remains uncertain. I’ve heard a bunch of interpretations of what this act will do and how it will impact voting. The right says it will protect voting integrity, whereas the left says it will restrict voting. Please help me sort this out. Which is it? Everyone wants our voting system to be secure, and depending on who you listen to, the verdict is very different. I did see a report that the Heritage Foundation, as Scott would say, not exactly a liberal group, looked into voting irregularities and found only 7 instances over the past 10 years. I am a registered voter. I vote in every election. Right now, I have no idea if my voter registration in Connecticut is still valid. I’m being told that, if the SAVE Act passes, I‘ll need a birth certificate and an up-to-date passport to be allowed to vote. Is this right? Do I need to reregister? Help!

So today we hear from Michelle from Fort Wayne, Indiana, who writes: What a disaster! Our Attorney General Pam Bondi testified in front of the Senate and House Judicial Committees, and she came across as a complete moron. She touted the stock market while ignoring the Epstein survivors sitting right behind her. She yelled at committee members who asked specific questions about the Epstein files, sounding like she was above Congressmembers and Senators. Of course, many Republican members tried to shift the conversation to other topics more favorable to her poor performance. Trump says she did great, of course, but many, even Republicans, are saying it was a PR nightmare. Could there be a consequence for her conduct? Do you think this act played well with the base? Has this ended the Epstein saga? Do you think Pam Bondi’s time might be up?

And Mark has a family encounter with ICE

Today, we have two questions again. First, Myron from Boston, Massachusetts, writes that ICE seems to have backed down in Minneapolis. Yet it is being reported that there are over 18,000 cases currently in the court system challenging immigrant detention. There are over 3000 cases in Texas alone. (I got these numbers from ProPublica. There is a new push for local law enforcement to step in. Some say it is their duty to arrest and charge federal agents for violating state and local laws. Why do you think this isn’t happening? Can and should local law enforcement intervene?

Next up, Rebecca from Roanoke, Virginia writes, your panel has discussed the Steve Bannon strategy of flooding the zone to create confusion. Today, we have ICE, Bad Bunny, Olympic Athletes speaking out, The Epstein Files, Greenland, the East Wing of the White House, Israel and Iran, and of course the almost forgotten war in Ukraine. With all that is going on, it’s hard to keep up. Stories seem to come and go without any resolution or closure. Then they pop up every so often to divert our attention from something else. Now, you’ve talked about the strategy, but let me ask, what do you see as the solution? How can the average American be informed when there is so much noise? I get that the strategy is to overwhelm. So, what would you say we can do to not be overwhelmed?
