00:00:00.000 This whole thing with voter ID, have you guys seen what Scott Jennings did with CNN on voter ID?
00:00:05.020 How? How? How? Have you seen that clip?
00:00:07.720 It was perfect. They were so cornered.
00:00:09.920 Only one House Democrat voted in favor of voter ID, proof of citizenship in U.S. elections.
00:00:19.380 So people want real people voting.
00:00:22.640 We want everybody to just be straight up about it.
00:00:25.080 But one House representative passed a massive election integrity bill on Wednesday despite opposition from the vast majority of Democrats.
00:00:32.760 This is the SAVE Act that they're talking about.
00:00:35.820 The Democrat, the House representative legislation that's aimed at keeping non-citizens from voting in the U.S. federal elections.
00:00:42.800 But all but one House Democrat, Representative Henry Suelal.
00:00:47.620 Democrat Texas voted against the bill that passed 218 to 213.
00:00:50.920 It is an updated version of the Safeguarding America Voter Eligibility.
00:00:55.080 Also led by Roy, Representative Republican Texas, which passed the House April of 2025 but was never taken up to Senate.
00:01:04.100 So what is this, Rob?
00:01:06.120 This is the Democrat?
00:01:07.120 This is a statement, yep, from the Democrat.
00:01:08.700 Can you read that, Rob?
00:01:09.940 I support the SAVE America Act because I believe in a fundamental principle.
00:01:13.780 American citizens should decide American elections.
00:01:16.860 That principle strengthens our democracy and protects the value of every vote.
00:01:21.320 This is the same secure but practical approach Texas already uses.
00:01:25.080 Strong photo ID standards with real fallback options.
00:01:29.020 And it's a big reason Texas has some of the strongest election security laws in the country.
00:01:34.260 I want to explain clearly what this bill does and does not do.
00:01:37.620 If you are already registered to vote, the status of your existing registration remains unchanged.
00:01:43.140 For those registering for the first time, the bill also reflects real life.
00:01:47.580 People get married, people get divorced, and people change their names.
00:01:50.780 Those moments should never create uncertainty about whether someone can vote.
00:01:56.300 That's why this bill requires states to accommodate name changes and accept multiple commonly held forms of identification.
00:02:03.320 And if a citizen does not have those documents readily available, the bill provides a way to affirm citizenship through an affidavit.
00:02:12.040 This approach protects election integrity while treating eligible voters with fairness and respect.
00:02:17.500 There you go.
00:02:17.960 At the end of the day, election security and voter access go together.
00:02:21.260 Good for him.
00:02:22.100 Who is this guy, Rob?
00:02:23.720 Can we go to him?
00:02:24.560 Let's recognize him.
00:02:25.400 He's the color.
00:02:27.240 Like a light-skinned black dude with glasses.
00:02:29.140 Is that him?
00:02:29.720 Henry Swell.
00:02:31.700 Colar.
00:02:32.900 Colar.
00:02:33.640 And he's from where?
00:02:34.440 He's from Texas?
00:02:36.200 San Antonio.
00:02:36.960 Latino.
00:02:37.660 Rio Grande.
00:02:38.600 Texas 28.
00:02:39.240 Okay.
00:02:39.880 Go to CNN's clip.
00:02:40.780 Well, good for you.
00:02:41.380 Go to CNN's clip with Scott Jennings.
00:02:45.260 Guys, you're going to hear one word 20 times in this clip.
00:02:49.420 And that one word is how.
00:02:51.360 Go ahead, Rob.
00:02:51.860 Who writes?
00:02:53.160 Is he taking away from black voters?
00:02:55.660 Oh, if we look at the Save Act?
00:02:56.840 The Save Act.
00:02:57.480 That's exactly what we're talking about.
00:02:59.140 That is actually going to continue to disenfranchise overwhelmingly a lot of people of color.
00:03:03.980 There are so many civil rights organizations that have run the data.
00:03:06.880 If we look at the way that it is going to disenfranchise black voters, it's the same reason why Chuck Schumer called it Jim Crow 2.0.
00:03:13.920 This is the same president.
00:03:15.000 If we want to continue.
00:03:15.740 You haven't said hell yet.
00:03:16.700 I am talking about it.
00:03:18.080 It's the way that you're putting new poll taxes on this when you're making people have.
00:03:22.680 That's what we can call them now.
00:03:23.980 It's kind of an idiom, right?
00:03:25.920 If you want to say that people have to prove that they are citizens, that they have to prove with a voter ID, the reality is you're layering what is a constitutional right for the American people and making it harder for people to vote in this country.
00:03:40.500 Does it concern you that you're making all these claims?
00:03:46.320 You've yet to lay out how it's hurting anyone, but 76% of black voters think we should show an ID to vote.
00:03:53.340 80% of Hispanic voters.
00:03:55.020 83% of the American people.
00:03:57.260 Are you saying that black voters are too dumb to know what's good for them?
00:04:01.640 What voting rights is he taking away from them?
00:04:03.440 They go nuts after that.
00:04:04.320 Rob, if you can find that, because it's great, that clip.
00:04:08.040 But, Tom, I'll come to you first.
00:04:09.380 Your thoughts on this.
00:04:10.700 Well, first of all, none of those people have read the bill.
00:04:13.740 And I'll summarize what just happened there.
00:04:17.340 We have been working for five years to get illegal voters in here, and I'll be damned if you're going to pass legislation that screws me up.
00:04:23.480 Exactly.
00:04:23.940 That's basically it.
00:04:24.480 So let me just translate that, right?
00:04:26.020 It's like what you have here, the SAVE Act, the narrative on the SAVE Act was disenfranchise his voter, disenfranchise his voter.
00:04:33.860 We even had a local congressman on, and we had a good-spirited conversation, Pat.
00:04:37.780 Did you think?
00:04:38.280 I thought that was a pretty good podcast.
00:04:39.500 Who's this? Jared?
00:04:39.820 We could go, yeah.
00:04:40.480 Yeah, he was great.
00:04:41.080 But even he stuck to the narrative, and we kind of pushed him on it a little bit.
00:04:44.220 We said, hey, you're going to force these people to get an alternative form of identification.
00:04:49.680 No, it's not.
00:04:50.600 And God bless the congressman from San Antonio for spelling it out.
00:04:56.080 These people, the bill came from the right.
00:05:00.900 And so if it's coming from the right, it must be bad.
00:05:03.720 And they have been, if anything, enfranchising illegal voters.
00:05:09.120 The only – no one's going to be disenfranchised.
00:05:11.860 We want to enfranchise all legal citizens to vote.
00:05:16.140 And both – I'm in favor of it.
00:05:17.800 I won't speak for Pat, but I know he's in favor of it.
00:05:19.900 A national day off to vote.
00:05:23.860 That election day is like 4th of July where we celebrate the freedom to vote, and everybody who is a citizen votes on that day.
00:05:32.180 That's what we want.
00:05:33.340 No one's trying to disenfranchise.
00:05:34.920 This bill is trying to ensure that our elections are only all citizens who should be aggressively enfranchised to vote, even to the point I really think that the – if I was in Washington, I would be pushing for the last line of the bill, Pat, and establish the first Monday in November as a national holiday so that people can vote every even year.
00:06:01.480 I am with it.
00:06:02.020 I am with it.
00:06:02.700 I am with it.
00:06:03.760 I am with it.
00:06:04.640 I am with it.
00:06:05.400 I'd love for that to happen.
00:06:07.020 And just – well, Tom, I agree with you, and I agree with you 1,000%.
00:06:10.360 Just really quick, one thing that bothers me, we did a – what was the earlier poll on what – not poll, but what CNN?
00:06:17.440 They're dropping, they're lowering, they're hemorrhaging numbers.
00:06:19.780 I love Scott Jennings, and I love this because he's actually checking them, but I don't even want him to be on CNN.
00:06:24.860 I don't want him there.
00:06:25.720 I want him to leave so that they can – Pat, well, hear me out – so that they can disappear once and for all.
00:06:31.000 Scott could be on his own network.
00:06:32.440 Go to Fox, go to somewhere.
00:06:33.860 I get the banter, and I get what he's doing because he's checking them.
00:06:35.980 He loves it.
00:06:36.740 And I know he does because he checks them, but this – I think he's helping CNN, which I want them to just go away, number one.
00:06:42.420 Number two, to say that – I think it's extremely racist to say minorities, they don't know how to get IDs.
00:06:52.220 These people don't know how to get IDs.
00:06:53.860 And here's my thing.
00:06:54.660 If you don't know how to go get an identification, I don't even want you to vote.
00:06:58.720 Who are you going to be voting for?
00:07:00.180 You're going to be voting for the people that are telling you, hey, listen, you know what I mean?
00:07:03.980 Just get in here.
00:07:04.580 We don't give a damn.
00:07:05.300 Get in here.
00:07:05.920 And I think it's so obvious at this point what the tactic of the left has been.
00:07:10.880 When we were sitting on this podcast, Pat, going crazy, going, where the – the border's open.
00:07:15.600 What the hell is going on?
00:07:16.800 It's so obvious, and this is it.
00:07:19.320 Anybody against the Save America Act, you are a part of the problem.
00:07:22.900 Is that the rest of it, Rob?
00:07:24.040 Yes, sir.
00:07:24.520 Let me see it.
00:07:25.520 By the way, it's first Tuesday in November.
00:07:27.100 I got excited there.
00:07:28.140 The Save Act isn't just about –
00:07:29.360 That sounds pretty condescending to me.
00:07:31.480 The Save Act is not just about IDs.
00:07:34.280 Who want voter IDs?
00:07:35.340 Just to be clear, the Save Act is not just about IDs.
00:07:37.880 The Save Act is about proof of citizenship.
00:07:40.380 So what?
00:07:40.880 What's wrong with that?
00:07:41.280 It doesn't – I actually –
00:07:43.140 But where is it, Rob?
00:07:44.180 You – did you go too much ahead?
00:07:46.520 I –
00:07:46.960 Because that's not it.
00:07:48.520 No, it's right here.
00:07:50.640 The Save Act isn't just –
00:07:51.200 Are too dumb to know what's good for them?
00:07:52.540 I mean, it sounds –
00:07:53.080 The Save Act isn't just about –
00:07:53.880 That sounds pretty condescending to me.
00:07:56.000 That's not –
00:07:56.480 You get three quarters of black voters.
00:07:58.840 Okay, got it.
00:07:59.820 All right.
00:08:00.780 Well, let me get to the next story, and then Adam, I'm going to come to you.
00:08:03.420 So, CNN has lost nearly half of its audience and all its relevance in the past eight years, according to this story, OutKick.
00:08:11.580 Huh.
00:08:11.760 No network on television benefited from Trump's first presidency than CNN.
00:08:17.400 Although it remained distant third in cable network behind Fox and MSNBC, CNN openly negative coverage of the president kept the network relevant and viable.
00:08:28.180 Okay, this is the story about what happened with CNN.
00:08:32.820 And then, that's the case the second – that's not the case the second time around.
00:08:37.180 A new analysis from Fox Digital shows that CNN has lost more than 40% of its day and primetime audience from 2017 to 2018.
00:08:46.060 Here's what it looks like.
00:08:47.640 Prime day – primetime 2015 was $711,000.
00:08:53.440 Then they went to $1 million after Trump got elected.
00:08:55.700 Weird.
00:08:56.100 Damn.
00:08:56.620 They're down to $573,000 and in total, they went from $489,000 to $775,000 down to $432,000.
00:09:07.860 Adam, why do you think this happened?
00:09:10.060 Well, because they don't want to face reality.
00:09:12.660 I mean, nobody wants to tune in to watch CNN and watch Scott Jennings just dismantle panels for a living.
00:09:20.360 And if you're living with TDS and you think Trump is the devil and you think he's a Nazi and you think that he's a fascist and you're going to tune in and watch this guy run laps around these woke, useful idiots, you're not going to watch it anymore.
00:09:36.520 You're going to go find a outlet or a newspaper or a TV station or a YouTube channel that's just going to basically pander to your belief system.
00:09:48.540 So, the next thing is that I wanted to talk about the SAFE Act.
00:09:52.760 So, what we've seen constantly, constantly is that Democrats just double down on the 20 on an 80-20 issue.
00:10:02.300 People always ask me, dude, are you a Republican now?
00:10:04.800 Are you still a Democrat?
00:10:06.020 I go, I'm a registered independent, but if I belong to a party, I belong to the Common Sense Party.
00:10:11.260 And what happened was the Democrats left Common Sense years ago the day that Trump got elected.
00:10:18.800 And people tell me, dude, thank God you no longer have TDS.
00:10:21.320 And I'll say, thank God I don't have it either.
00:10:23.380 Because I see it every single day how people are living with this crippling, debilitating disease called TDS.
00:10:31.180 Remember the video where someone was like, Trump goes, listen, guys, I want to help you.
00:10:35.180 Don't take aspirin if you're pregnant.
00:10:37.200 And then you have pregnant women being like, don't tell me what to do.
00:10:40.000 You know, it's so stupid out there.
00:10:42.820 So, the ID thing is an issue.
00:10:47.000 Guys, 80% of America, blacks, Latinos, whites, even 90%, saying, yeah, let's have an ID to vote.
00:10:55.260 These are 80-20 issues that are layups for the Republican Party.
00:10:58.960 But Democrats want to get on CNN, on national TV, in front of a diminishing audience, and argue why IDs are bad, or IDs are racist.
00:11:08.020 When you have 80% of black people saying, no, dude, like, we can get an ID.
00:11:12.860 If I want to go to the club, if I want to go on an airplane, if I want to travel, I have the ability to get an ID.
00:11:18.700 Vinny, do you think the ability to get an ID is racist?
00:11:21.920 Like, do you think that's too much to ask for?
00:11:23.640 Yeah, Pat, because I just, no, absolutely not.
00:11:26.680 It's actually, you know how disrespectful it is for a black person to say that about other black, like, what do you think of your people?
00:11:34.260 How freaking disrespectful and racist is that?
00:11:38.760 Go get your damn ID.
00:11:40.380 You want to vote.
00:11:41.500 Go get your-
00:11:42.300 Dude, I had an ID when, I had a fake ID when I was 15.
00:11:45.880 If I could do it, you could do it.
00:11:47.700 That's my boy.
00:11:49.820 Vinny, they do it every day in Los Angeles.
00:11:52.080 I had a fake ID.
00:11:52.480 I was in a nightclub.
00:11:53.300 People were like, damn, that guy's young.
00:11:54.800 Thank you for staying in a nightclub.
00:11:55.840 It's like debating.
00:11:56.720 I was out.
00:11:57.500 It's like debating whether or not you should show your ID when you go into a nightclub.
00:12:01.760 Well, I was out clubbing.
00:12:02.940 Everybody knows.
00:12:03.800 What was the club's name?
00:12:04.780 What was the club's name?
00:12:05.640 2001.
00:12:06.500 What was the name of the club?
00:12:07.380 It was called 2001.
00:12:08.640 Seriously.
00:12:08.820 And the bouncers were jerks.
00:12:10.520 They wouldn't, anybody from New Brant, Connecticut would know, Pat, we'd have to wear baggy jeans
00:12:15.320 under these tight jeans.
00:12:16.780 The security guys were jerks.
00:12:18.520 And then once we got in, we were, bro, fake ID from a bodega called Sidracas.
00:12:23.140 I got a fake ID.
00:12:24.060 The guy was like, mira, tu quiero una, mira, dale.
00:12:26.540 You're ratting on your fake ID guy right now?
00:12:27.960 The guy, no, that place isn't there anymore, but all the people from New Brant, Connecticut.
00:12:31.480 Let me guess.
00:12:32.160 They went on a business shortly after that.
00:12:33.380 Pat, I would just, I'd take my shirt, and I would just sweat.
00:12:36.460 Oh, it was amazing.
00:12:37.460 I would do the worm.
00:12:37.880 I haven't been ID'd since I was 12 years old.
00:12:40.840 People never, never believe my age, but we would go to a club called Carnival in downtown
00:12:45.960 L.A.
00:12:46.340 Yeah, Carnival.
00:12:47.020 It was no longer around.
00:12:48.320 How old?
00:12:48.740 How old?
00:12:49.280 15 years old.
00:12:49.860 Oh, heck.
00:12:50.220 I can give you a shout out.
00:12:51.380 What?
00:12:51.680 You remember the name of every club you've ever been to?
00:12:54.540 Oh, yeah.
00:12:55.100 Oh, yeah.
00:12:55.360 Like, literally every club.
00:12:56.560 When I was in Kentucky, we used to go to this one club, and then in L.A. and Avaca,
00:13:00.100 fifth of, yeah.
00:13:01.440 Tom, what clubs did you go to?
00:13:03.080 Come on, Tom.
00:13:04.260 Believe it or not.
00:13:05.020 They didn't let him in.
00:13:06.880 I spent, you know, high school in Boca Tone, Florida, and we used to go down spring break
00:13:12.160 to The Button, Summers on the Beach, and Penrods.
00:13:16.300 They were all right together.
00:13:18.180 Penrods?
00:13:18.880 Penrods.
00:13:19.240 P-E-N-R-O-D.
00:13:20.440 And then right at the end was called The Candy Store, which was owned by comedian Flip
00:13:26.380 Wilson, who used to have the Flip Wilson show, and he was on TV, or partially owned by him.
00:13:32.000 But that was, by the way, and that group of clubs down there, there was his act, Geraldine.
00:13:38.240 He would put on the wig and do this Geraldine act.
00:13:40.680 Of course.
00:13:41.580 And you know what was amazing?
00:13:43.540 Fort Lauderdale wanted to get rid of those four bars specifically because they felt that
00:13:48.540 it was just a problem for spring break.
00:13:50.560 Tom, the comment section is saying you went to Studio 54.
00:13:55.580 You don't want to read it.
00:13:55.960 No, no, no, no, no.
00:13:57.000 And the comment section was like, they saw you at Studio 54.
00:13:59.980 Tom was out there.
00:14:00.580 They're all over the place.
00:14:01.500 And in L.A., not too far from Dodger Stadium, there is a place called The Shortstop where you
00:14:07.560 would have all kinds of...
00:14:09.140 Oh, wow.
00:14:09.560 Now we're really getting into it.
00:14:10.760 Tom's just doing blow off the toilet bowl.
00:14:12.460 Did you hear RFK?
00:14:14.060 What does that have to do with...
00:14:15.100 RFK was saying he was doing cocaine.
00:14:16.560 What does that have to do with ID, though?
00:14:17.760 Yeah, but what he's trying to say is these clubs he went to, Tom went with a fake ID.
00:14:22.620 No, we used to go to Florida.
00:14:23.680 Florida, Rob, there was a club in Panama City, Club La Vila and Spinnaker's.
00:14:28.620 Club La Vila and Spinnaker's.
00:14:29.980 Every club name.
00:14:30.880 Oh, Spinnaker's was right next to La Vila.
00:14:32.640 Club La Vila.
00:14:33.400 La Vila had seven clubs within one club when back in the days MTV used to do its stuff and
00:14:38.860 hard body contests and all this other stuff many, many years ago.
00:14:42.280 Yeah.
00:14:42.400 A new Faith Over Fear hat is coming soon to a theater near you, but I just wanted to...
00:14:47.360 This morning, I was listening to Billy Graham, which, Pat, you told me to listen to him.
00:14:51.280 You're like, you know, Vinny, dive in and listen to him.
00:14:53.000 So I'm getting ready in the morning.
00:14:54.320 I'm just listening to Billy Graham, and he said something that I hadn't heard in a while,
00:14:58.320 and it was the Apostle Thomas.
00:15:00.060 When Jesus rose from the dead, Thomas wasn't there to see the resurrection.
00:15:04.500 So Thomas goes, I'll believe that he rose if I get to put my hands in his wounds and
00:15:08.980 in his side.
00:15:09.520 So then he finally sees Jesus, and he goes in there.
00:15:12.280 He goes, God, Thomas, God, put your hands in here.
00:15:14.160 And Jesus looks at him and goes, because you have seen me, you believe.
00:15:17.740 Blessed of those who haven't seen me and still believe it.
00:15:20.940 In that moment, Tom, it hit me.
00:15:22.360 He's talking about us, okay?
00:15:24.120 We weren't there.
00:15:24.960 We didn't see Jesus walk.
00:15:26.000 We didn't see him die.
00:15:26.680 We didn't see him rise from the dead, but we believe, and that is faith in real time.
00:15:32.000 And he's talking about us.
00:15:32.960 And the last one, you mentioned the story about the Nigeria that we're sending 200 troops.
00:15:37.560 Trump is sending 200 troops.
00:15:38.760 They're saying they're not going to do anything crazy.
00:15:40.300 But think about that.
00:15:41.400 Think about the priests, think about the parishioners in those churches that were bombed
00:15:44.980 and murdered and slaughtered, and they were in that church praying and saying, please help.
00:15:50.200 That is faith over fear in real time, and that's what we're about, and that's what the brand
00:15:54.660 is about.
00:15:55.200 And I can't tell you how many people see me with the shirt, because the shirt's on the
00:15:58.520 back, and just tap me on the back and go, I'm with you.
00:16:00.840 Or they see this hat and they go, where can I get that hat?
00:16:03.020 So you go on vtmerch.com, get the hat.
00:16:05.740 We have the hoodies.
