I'd just like to see us save elections. 624 here in Houston's morning is Matt Kills with a senior election correspondent at the Federalist. The thing that I have a hard time figuring out about Democrat opposition to the Save Act, Matt, it's such a no-brainer. Even 71% of Democrats support voter ID. How can you stand up against 71% of your own party? Yeah, Jimmy, that's the question. I mean, it's an 80-20 issue across the country. There are a few things that unify Americans so much these days, but yet Democrats. still keep fighting against a bill that would only require proof of citizenship to be able to vote. And that's probably because they want non-citizens to vote in our elections. Clearly. But what good does it do them to compare it to call it something like Jim Crow 2.0 and to try to make it a racial issue? Is anybody buying that? Well, the media keeps selling it to them. The corporate media. So think if they can repeat the lie over and over again, like they used to do in Germany years ago, that it'll somehow turn into the truth. But I don't think most Americans do buy what they're selling. I wonder at the end of the day here, does this thing pass, do you think? It seems like it's a safe bet it'll pass the House. Can it get through the Senate? It's going to pass the House. And these measures have passed the House on a number of occasions. The problem is that it's going to take what they call the talking filibuster to get this thing done so you don't have to invoke cloture and the 60-vote rule.

that's a tall order. And Lisa Murkowski, one of the usual rhinos suspects, came out yesterday in the Senate and said she would not support it. So it's an uphill battle, to say the least. Okay. We're expecting, I think, a vote in the House today. Do you expect that vote to happen? I do. They had to, yesterday late, they scratched it like the baseball lineup. But I think they are set to go. today and they certainly will have the debate. Okay. We'll see what happens. Matt Kittle, thank you.
