In this episode, Jenny Beth Martin is joined by Myron Ebell of the Competitive Enterprise Institute to discuss the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw the EPA’s 2007 endangerment finding — the legal foundation that has allowed federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The endangerment finding, issued after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA, opened the door for sweeping climate regulations affecting vehicles, power plants, manufacturing, and energy production across the country. Now, the administration is attempting to reverse that determination — a move that could significantly reshape energy policy, vehicle standards, and federal regulatory authority. In this episode you'll learn: What the EPA’s endangerment finding is and why it matters How greenhouse gases became regulated under the Clean Air Act The connection between federal fuel economy rules and rising vehicle costs The impact of California’s EV mandate and the Clean Air Act waiver What the “major questions doctrine” means for climate regulation Why legal challenges are already underway — and what happens next How this decision could affect energy prices, economic growth, and consumer choice Myron Ebell also shares his decades-long involvement in the climate and energy debate, from opposing the Kyoto Protocol to challenging cap-and-trade proposals and the Paris Climate Agreement. He explains the legal and economic arguments behind the rollback and outlines what to expect as the case moves through the federal courts. This is a deep dive into the legal, economic, and constitutional fight over climate regulation — and what it means for America’s energy future.

The SAVE America Act has passed the U.S. House and now heads to the Senate — and with it has come a wave of misinformation, fear-based talking points, and outright falsehoods. In this episode, Jenny Beth addresses the five biggest myths surrounding the SAVE America Act and explains what the legislation actually does. The bill requires: • Documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote • Photo ID to cast a ballot in federal elections Opponents claim the bill is unnecessary, unconstitutional, discriminatory, or impossible to implement. In this episode, Jenny Beth breaks down those claims one by one and explains: • Why existing federal law does not currently require documentary proof of citizenship • Why voter ID is not a “modern-day poll tax” • How the bill addresses name discrepancies for married women • Why Congress has constitutional authority over federal election standards • Why implementing citizenship verification is both practical and urgent At its core, the question is simple: Should American elections be decided only by American citizens? The SAVE America Act reinforces what most Americans already believe — that election integrity strengthens voter confidence and preserves our constitutional republic. 📞 Take Action: Call your U.S. Senators and urge them to bring the SAVE America Act to the floor for debate and vote YES. 🔔 Subscribe for more episodes focused on election integrity, constitutional principles, and protecting the future of the Republic.

In this episode, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Rachel Bovard, VP of Programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute, to break down the real procedural path for passing the SAVE America Act in the United States Senate. This is the essential guide to passing the SAVE America Act in the Senate. Rachel explains how the Senate’s existing rules — including the talking filibuster — can be used to force debate and potentially pass election integrity legislation without eliminating the legislative filibuster. If you’ve heard claims that this strategy would “nuke” the filibuster or create procedural chaos, this conversation addresses those arguments directly and explains what the rules actually allow. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The difference between invoking cloture (60 votes) and breaking a filibuster through exhaustion How the privileged motion to proceed allows the SAVE America Act to bypass an initial 60-vote hurdle What live quorum calls are — and why they matter Why the talking filibuster does not eliminate the filibuster How Senate Republicans could force Democrats to debate voter ID and proof of citizenship Why discipline and strategic voting are critical to the process How negotiation can emerge from extended floor debate Why this strategy could strengthen — not weaken — the Senate Why This Matters The SAVE America Act focuses on ensuring that only American citizens vote in American elections and that voters show identification before casting a ballot. Poll after poll shows overwhelming public support for these principles. The question is not whether Americans support election integrity — it’s whether the Senate will use its own rules to allow real debate. This episode gives you the strategy, the mechanics, and the political stakes surrounding the SAVE America Act — and what grassroots activists can do to encourage action.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, Jenny Beth Martin sits down with Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-8) to discuss the massive fraud scandal unfolding in Minnesota — a scandal that could total anywhere from $9 billion to as much as $30 billion in alleged abuse of taxpayer funds.From Medicaid fraud and SNAP benefit irregularities to daycare centers that never operated and feeding programs that allegedly didn’t serve the children they claimed, this investigation is raising serious concerns about oversight, accountability, and leadership at both the state and federal levels.Congressman Stauber explains how whistleblowers inside Minnesota’s government first sounded the alarm, what role independent journalists played in exposing the scope of the fraud, and how Congress is working to restore integrity to public programs.Topics CoveredHow Minnesota’s fraud scandal was first uncoveredWhistleblower reports from state agenciesAllegations involving Medicaid, SNAP, and childcare programsThe “Feeding Our Future” controversyClaims of missing oversight and failed accountability measuresTSA reports of large cash transfers leaving the stateCongressional efforts to investigate and reform oversight systemsBroader concerns about fraud in other statesThe role of independent journalists in exposing abuseThe importance of restoring public trust in government programsWhy This MattersTaxpayer dollars are intended to serve vulnerable Americans — including children, seniors, and families in need. When fraud is allowed to flourish, it undermines public trust, weakens critical services, and damages confidence in government institutions.This episode examines what went wrong, who is being held accountable, and what reforms may be necessary to prevent similar failures in the future.Stay ConnectedFor more episodes, visit jennybethshow.comFollow Jenny Beth on Facebook, Rumble, YouTube, Instagram, and XLearn more at teapartypatriots.orgIf you found this conversation helpful, be sure to subscribe and share the episode with others who care about protecting taxpayer dollars and restoring constitutional accountability.

Using recent events in Minnesota as a case study, he outlines the difference between lawful state resistance and unconstitutional defiance, and clarifies the proper mechanisms states can use to challenge federal policy.The conversation also explores the Insurrection Act, including when it can be invoked, how it has been used historically, and what legal options are available to a president when state officials refuse to enforce federal law. Osborne walks through the president’s authority to federalize the National Guard and the constitutional duty to ensure that laws are faithfully executed.In addition, Osborne discusses the legal challenge to automatic birthright citizenship, his role in filing an amicus brief supporting President Trump’s position, and the upcoming Supreme Court case.

Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, to examine the most consequential Supreme Court cases impacting religious freedom in America today.Staver outlines how government overreach—at the state and local levels—is increasingly colliding with First Amendment protections.

Together, Jenny Beth and Joel explore how biblical love goes far beyond emotion or sentiment—it is sacrificial, protective, and willing to give up dignity for the sake of others.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why Joseph’s response to Mary’s pregnancy is a powerful example of godly loveHow Scripture defines agape love as patient, selfless, and enduringWhat it truly means to love your neighbor—and your enemy—in a divided worldWhy Christ’s love is not earned, deserved, or limited by our failuresEncouragement for anyone struggling with worth, forgiveness, or reconciliationThis conversation reminds us that Christmas is not just a celebration of Christ’s birth, but a call to live out His love in our daily lives—loving others as He first loved us.Connect With UsWatch more episodes, livestreams, and bonus devotionals at JennyBethShow.com.Follow on Facebook, YouTube, Rumble, Instagram, and X for updates and new content.Guest:Reverend Joel Mooneyhan | Instagram: @southernreverend | www.joelfromatlanta.comHost:Jenny Beth Martin, Honorary Chairman, Tea Party Patriots Action | Instagram: @jennybethm X: @jennybethm | www.teapartypatriots.org
