Summary
Sen. John Fetterman (PA) has stirred controversy within his party by saying that requiring voter ID is not "unreasonable," pointing to states like Wisconsin that already enforce similar laws. "It's not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote," Fetterman said, while rejecting comparisons between voter ID requirements and Jim Crow–era restrictions. The Sekulow team discusses the fallout from Fetterman's comments, the ACLJ's legal work and more.

It is a packed show. I'm getting all my papers in front of me to make sure that it's all lined up. Because, look, there's a busy weekend. a lot you've not been paying attention to the news or maybe the news that you've been watching hasn't been dominated by some of the stories we're going to talk about today actually like that and I had a couple people reach out and go are you going to talk about a super bowl you're going to talk about bad money kid rock tp no not probably not I'll be honest it's probably not what we're going to do today because what is really great with us is we're actually able to present to you when we think something is very important. The news is happening. And a lot of times it doesn't dominate the ratings. And that's okay. That's what we get to do here on this show. And today, you may have seen it. Maybe it briefly popped up that, hey, John Fetterman once again made some kind of statement. It's not been uncommon for John Fetterman to be citing more and more with conservatives over the last few years, |

| 2:12.2 | the 60 votes to move anything forward in the Senate. A talking filibuster would be much more old school. |
| 2:18.3 | But this is something that has started to come up now as these bills are moving forward with |
