ICYMI: Sen. Banks Joins Just the News with John SolomonFriday, August 7, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Jim Banks (R-Ind.) joined Just the News: No Noise with John Solomon on Real America’s Voice to discuss the SAVE America Act , his introduction of the Citizenship Act of 2026 , and the weaponization of the FBI against President Trump. Click the image above for the full discussion. Key Excerpts on the SAVE America Act : Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.): “Let’s stay in Washington, let’s get our work done, let’s pass the SAVE America Act, there’s a lot of other issues that we’re focusing on too, but I don’t think anything is more important than voter ID at the ballot box to make sure that only American citizens vote in American elections. By the way, the big news that the mainstream media hardly covered was that the new Democrat governor in New Jersey announced a week ago that they accidentally added 66,00 noncitizens to the voter roll and hundreds of them voted in the last two elections, if that’s not a reason in and of itself… That’s why we need the SAVE America Act: we need to pass it now; we don’t need an August recess; we don’t need a vacation. Let’s pass the SAVE America Act before we head out of town.” “We can pass it; it’s a version of the SAVE America Act, and it’s related to grants to the states that provide for voter ID. It would incentivize more states to pass voter ID laws, but it’s better than nothing, so let’s do everything that we can to secure our elections. No political issue I’ve seen has been more popular. President Trump is right to push to pass it. Let’s pass it before we go home.” Key Excerpts on the Citizenship Act of 2026 : “I’m concerned about it because right now about 250,000 babies of illegals in our country are born in America and are automatically given birthright citizenship. The 14 th Amendment doesn’t grant that someone who’s here illegally should get birthright citizenship, but they struck down the president’s executive order…We don’t need a constitutional amendment, and Congress can’t overturn a Supreme Court decision. My bill, the Citizenship Act, declares an invasion and says that the babies of illegal immigrants are not eligible for birthright citizenship. This is important to the future of our country. I mean 250,00 babies a year; that’s a magnet for more illegals to come into our country; this is what attracts them to come into our country to begin with.” Key Excerpts on Oxf erd Comma : “Those first two years that I was in the House, those years were completely lost, they were derailed because of the Russian collusion hoax and what these guys did to our country and they have never been held accountable for it, so I’m glad you exposed this story because it reminds us the damage that Comey and those in the Deep State the damage they did to our country and the missed opportunities in those two years… there was so much more that President Trump tried to do for our country, that he was elected to do for our country that didn’t get done because of that whole agenda was derailed by a hoax.” “Time has proven that President Trump has been as tough on Putin and Russia as any other President. The whole thing was a farce; it was all narrative created by those who were upset President Trump ever won to begin with and wanted to block him from getting anything done, and the losers out of it were the country, the United States of America, and the progress that we lost for this great nation over two years because of what they got away with. We can’t let them get away with that again. This is why accountability matters.” ###
