Senator Rick Scott was on “Fox News Sunday” to talk about the SAVE America Act, which will require ID and proof of US citizenship to vote in federal elections. He also said that the filibuster should be removed so there can be a vote.

The Senator also discussed Iran and defended President Trump’s military action against the regime.

“The President said Friday Iran is never gonna shut the strait again. They have taken control again of maintaining that they will say who flows in and out of the strait,” Bream commented.

“What do you make of where we are this morning? And what do you consider the finish line, a win for this administration, or for America?” Bream asked.

“What we’ve got to do is make sure Iran never has a chance to have a nuclear weapon,” Scott said.

“This is a regime that has been killing Americans for 47 years, taken money like through Obama gave them and used it to fund proxies, the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas,” Scott continued.

“This President finally is doing the right thing. He’s going to hold them accountable,” Scott said.

“What is the plan for Republicans in the Senate?” Bream asked regarding the SAVE Act.

Senator Scott explained that a great majority of Americans support having an ID and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. He explained that the Democrats in the Senate only oppose it because they support voter fraud.

“Well, first off, it’s real simple, you should have to have an ID to vote. You should have to show you are an American citizen to register to vote. Overwhelmingly, over 80 percent of Americans, Republicans, Democrats, Independents want this,” Scott continued.

“The only reason Senate Democrats are against it is they have to want fraud. The only way this is going to happen is we have to blow up the filibuster,” Scott said.

“Leader Thune says you don’t have the votes to do that. So, what’s plan B? Bream asked.

“We have to keep working on it. I would tell everybody, call every Republican and every Democrat Senator and tell them how important it is to secure elections,” Scott explained.
