White Liberals GLITCH When Black Voters Show Their ID
The SAVE Act proposes nationwide voter ID laws requiring proof of citizenship and government-issued IDs—like passports or driver’s licenses—to cast federal ballots, despite claims that voter fraud is negligible. Critics argue it disproportionately burdens low-income voters, including minorities and women needing name changes post-marriage, citing costs like transportation or document updates, while supporters dismiss "Jim Crow 2.0" accusations, noting Pew Research shows 84% of Americans back the measure. The debate hinges on bureaucratic access, yet the speaker highlights inconsistencies—such as universal gun ID support—while tying opposition to a patronizing view of minority competence, ultimately framing voter ID as a necessary safeguard against fraud.

Voter fraud in this country is not an issue and it never really has been.
Do you guys have an ID?
Yeah.
An ID?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It restricts probably minority rights.
People don't have access to getting IDs.
So that would have an effect if it did pass.
Do you think it's racist to ask every American citizen to present an ID when they go to vote?
No.
No.
How would it affect minorities?
Oh, got it.
Hit the talking point.
Do you have an ID?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Do you have an ID?
Yeah.
Do you have an ID?
I have an ID.
You have an ID.
Okay, all right.
Do you have an ID?
So you have an ID though.
I have an ID.
They said that about me?
A brown person?
That's pretty racist.
The Senate Democrats and Chuck Schumer have been saying that voter ID laws in the SAVE Act is a Jim Crow 2.0, super racist, super harmful to minorities.
We're here at UCF to ask the students if that's true and if they have IDs.
Let's go.
Voter ID laws for federal elections are racist like Chuck Schumer is claiming they are.
I don't think we should have to have something like a passport required since there's a fee associated with it.
I do think that having a passport required if we take away the fee of a passport would be a good thing.
There's no passport required.
But it's the option that we're going towards and it's the first option listed.
So that's an option that you could have to verify your identity when voting, but that's not the only thing.
That's just one of the acceptable forms of requirement.
And if it's just listed first, that doesn't mean that's what they're going for.
I don't think that we should have anything that costs money as an option.
Because then that takes away people that don't have the money.
Who wouldn't have the money for an ID?
People who are low-income, that's a very straightforward issue.
Well, those same people have to have an ID to apply for government benefits.
Okay.
So how is it low-income people can have an ID to obtain benefits, government welfare, government programs and benefits, but you don't think they should have to have one to vote because it costs money?
Oh, I didn't say they shouldn't have to have one to vote.
Okay.
So you do believe in voter ID?
I think that if that's the path we're going to go down, take away the fee for it.
Why?
I thought I've already answered that because I don't think there should be a tax to vote.
There is no tax to vote.
You still have to drive to a voting booth and spend money on gas.
What wasn't the question about racial ideas?
Or they have to pay for public transportation to get to the voting polls.
Or they could walk.
They could walk.
that's free so actually you don't have to there is no tax I Okay.
Can I take my selfie with you now?
Do you know what voter ID is?
Yeah, of course I know what voter ID is.
Okay.
Chuck Schumer is saying that he's not going to support it come next week when they vote on the SAVE Act, which is a national voter ID law because it's racist.
He calls it Jim Crow 2.0.
We're asking students today if they agree with him or if they support voter ID.
What is your opinion?
I mean, yeah, it's not necessary.
Voter fraud in this country is not an issue and it never really has been.
Well then if we pass the law then nothing will change right?
It restricts probably minority rights.
People don't have access to getting IDs so that would have an effect if it did pass.
How would it affect minorities?
Oh god it hit the talking point.
How would it I'll repeat the question.
How would it affect minorities?
I'm just going to end the conversation here.
Thank you.
How would it affect minorities?
I'm good, man.
Or maybe you won't answer because you'd have to explain how black people can't obtain an ID.
You weren't about to say that, were you?
Yeah, that's exactly what I was about to say.
Do you guys have an ID?
Yeah.
An ID?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, like you have a form of identification.
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you think it's racist to ask everybody, every American citizen, to present an ID when they go to vote in federal elections?
No, no.
No.
No.
Why not?
I mean, like, you shouldn't be able to vote if you're not a citizen.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
Right?
And that's not racist, right?
No.
How would it affect minorities?
Minorities can't get an ID?
Go talk to someone else.
Okay, all right.
Maybe you need to think about what you're about to say because you're about to tell me that minorities cannot obtain ID, which is super prejudice.
You've already heard first.
If you want to correct, correct me, then maybe I'm wrong.
That's not what you were going to say.
I think you can go talk to somebody else.
I'm good here.
Oh, you're a minority.
Are you affected when we implement voter ID?
Not at all.
No?
No.
Hey, she's a minority.
Well, I mean, you are too.
She said that she's not affected by voter ID.
I'm good.
I'm done.
That's the end of the conversation.
He had to be confronted with his prejudice.
Shit on Mike Logic.
So you have an ID though.
I have an ID.
Before coming out today to talk to students about the SAVE Act, I went to ground.news/slash Liberty and I used the Ground News app to learn exactly what the other side of the aisle was reading about this topic.
On the app, you can get really cool features.
You can see exactly how many sources are reporting on this story, and you can see a breakdown of the percentage of which way it leans, if it's left, center, or the right.
Something really cool that this app does: if you want the most centered and non-biased news source, it'll actually give it to you right here on the recommended tab.
There's also a breakdown tab that can tell you which news sources lean which way.
If you're looking for a more right-leaning news source, you can go over here.
Right here is right down the center, and here obviously is to the left.
It's very, very good for learning exactly what each side is wanting to say about a certain topic.
So you always stay informed with facts from both sides.
So go to ground.news slash liberty today.
The SAVE Act is going through.
Congress, Senate Democrats are like, no, we're not going to vote for it.
It's Jim Crow 2.0, Chuck Schumer said.
Do you guys agree with Chuck Schumer that it's a racist policy or do you guys agree with 84% of Americans who support that, the SAVE Act?
My father is a politician.
I cannot answer this question, unfortunately.
Well, I'm not asking your dad.
I'm asking you.
Do you think voter ID laws, like Chuck Schumer, believe?
He can't answer because of his dad.
He's going to choose to forego the answer.
I don't know what your dad being a politician have to do with it.
I can't answer that either.
What's the 84% statistic?
That's from a Pew Research poll.
Oh, I got you.
I just, like, do you believe it?
Do I believe in voter ID?
No, no, no.
Do you believe that it's like racist?
No, no, I don't think it's racist.
Do you think it's racist?
The SAVE Act?
Let's pull it up together, actually.
Yeah, so it would require proof of citizenship at the time of registration.
And then it would require you to bring an ID to vote.
That could be a passport.
It could be a military ID.
It could be a driver's license.
Do you already have to have your passport, or not your passport, a proof of ID to vote?
No, not in all states.
So this would make it for all federal elections, for all American citizens, no matter where you live.
In Florida, don't you have to have your ID to vote already?
Yep, we have voter ID laws, but not every state does.
37 states do.
And so the other ones don't.
And so to make it a more secure election, they want to make it to where everybody in every single state would have to have a voter ID.
Do you know what makes people say that it's a racist act or policy?
I know what Chuck Schumer has said, but I'm asking students today before I give you guys someone else's opinion, I wanted your guys' opinion on if you agree with Chuck Schumer that it's Jim Crow 2.0 and that it's racist.
I just don't believe in paperwork.
Like I don't believe administration.
And by administration, I mean like the paperwork filing, all these systems, name changes, women who change their name when they marry, all of these things have to be up to date.
I think it would put too much strain on people who are working class who aren't able to file it, whether you believe that affects minorities or not.
I think when we think about voters, when we think about like all of these historical patterns we have around voting, to roll out something that changes voting drastically, and this isn't just in America, we have this in many other countries where we have these different systems.
We have to think about how it affects, what it'll do, and whether that'll have like a wavelength effect.
And we also have to think when we're doing it.
Are we doing that at a time where we are electing someone new?
Are we doing it during midterms?
I don't think you can do anything in life or in like higher systems that aren't political.
Politics is just the study of people.
All of these things are going to have an effect.
So when you make a choice like this, I think it's going to have an effect.
Whether you see that immediately, whether you see it as disproportionately affecting minorities, at the end of the day, anything we do is going to affect those systematic barriers that we already have that are supposed to take care or that are suppressing these minorities, other groups.
How are voter ID laws suppressing minorities?
No, no, I'm saying, I didn't say it was suppressing it.
I'm just saying whether or not you believe that's what it's doing at the end of the day.
Do you believe it's doing that?
Are you asking me if I believe?
Well, it hasn't existed yet.
I mean, I can't say what it's doing.
Well, we have voter ID in Florida.
Do you think here in Florida has affected minorities or prevented minorities from voting?
Do you?
No, I don't.
I'm asking you.
What's your opinion?
No, that's okay.
I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
We don't have to be on the same page, though.
We're just having a dialogue.
No, that's all right.
I understand.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Okay.
I think that when we pass laws like this, that we're going to see whether it's minorities.
I think it's going to have an effect on everyone at the end of the day.
So you agree that it will have an effect.
It's going to affect everyone to some degree.
But do you agree with the Senate Democrats and Chuck?
One second.
And Chuck Schumer that it is Jim Crow 2.0 and it's inherently racist to require voter ID.
I won't agree or disagree to a sound bite.
I was going to ask him, do you have an ID?
I'm currently 21.
Do you have an ID?
No, don't show it.
Don't show it to the camera, but you have one, right?
Yeah.
Okay, all right.
Do you have an ID?
Yeah.
Okay, all right.
Who else?
Do you have an ID?
Do you have an ID?
Do I have an ID, like a driver's license?
Yeah, do you have an ID?
I have an ID.
You have an ID.
Okay, all right.
Do you have an ID?
I have an idea.
You do have an ID.
Okay, very cool.
It looks like all the minority people here that I've talked to right now have an ID.
So someone should tell Chuck Schumer that minorities are very capable of getting an ID.
I haven't met one today that doesn't have it.
That's what he has said, that it's Jim Crow 2.0.
Oh, no, no, no.
Do you agree?
I don't think I disagree with a one tagline.
So you don't like paperwork, right?
So you said like paperwork affects everybody, right?
Do you think there should have to be a background check to obtain a gun?
Are we still on voter ID or do you want to change the topic to gun laws?
Yeah, we're talking about guns.
Do you think there should be paperwork and a background check to obtain a firearm?
Do you think there is?
There is.
Do you think there should be?
Because you said you don't like paperwork.
Do you think there should be paperwork?
Yes, you did.
I said I didn't like paperwork specifically.
Yes, you did.
Did she say that?
Can I talk about that?
That's what she said.
I just don't believe in paperwork.
You said that.
One second, ma'am.
Do you think there should be paperwork to obtain a firearm?
There is.
Do you think there should be?
I said there is to some degree paperwork.
Do you agree with it?
Should there be?
To obtain a firearm?
Yes.
There's paperwork to get a driver's license.
That's my point, is that you said paperwork and bureaucracy to get an ID to vote, you're against it because paperwork is something that you don't think should have to happen, blah, blah, blah.
Well, but you agree.
But you, then correct me.
Do you think paperwork and a background check and an ID to obtain a gun is fair?
So let's address that.
Yes or no.
Do you want yes or no?
Do you want to have a dialogue?
Yes or no.
Is that fair?
Are you disagreeing to a dialogue?
Yes or no.
Is that fair?
You know that it's fair.
You know that it's fair, but you're being caught in hypocrisy right now where you don't think we should have that to vote, but it's okay to do it if someone wants to obtain a firearm, which is a right that we have under the Second Amendment.
So why is it okay to any of those things that you said, actually?
Then correct me.
Okay, let's go back to what I said originally.
When I said if you have extra administration to have issues like voter ID, things like this, it will complicate the system.
How so?
When you're complicating a system, you have things like women who are going to change their name.
They're going to have a disconnect between their legal name, their new names.
If you maybe know someone who's been married, their name changes.
They have to.
I'm married.
And when my name changed, I had to get a new social security card and a new driver's license.
I had to change my information with my bank, and I had to have proof, my marriage license with me, which women are very capable of getting.
As a brown man, do you know where the DMV is to get a license?
Absolutely.
All right, why do you think the Democrats are saying that brown people have a hard time obtaining ID in some way?
They said that about me?
Like a brown person?
That's pretty racist.
Brown person can't do something because I'm brown.
That's like, yeah, that's like segregation.
That's like literally racism.
That's absolutely racism.
But I think you're not able.
You're not capable of doing it.
All right, I lack the intelligence or the Google Maps to look up.
Yeah, that's absolute ignorance.
I've never heard anyone say, I wish they would say it to my face because that's terrible.
That's actually horrendous.
Do you know anything about the bill that's going through the Save Act bill?
Only a little bit.
So basically, it would require voter ID.
That's fine with me.
You're fine with voter ID?
Yeah.
Why is voter ID something that you do you like do you support it or you're like it's okay if it passes?
I support it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Why do you support voter ID?
You need an ID for everything else.
So as black people, is it hard for you to obtain an ID?
Nah.
No, not necessarily.
No, I don't think so.
Wait, why would it be hard though?
Ask the Democrats.
It's harder for colored people to like get identification.
And so like requiring identification to vote is racist.
Oh, I don't personally agree with that.
I kind of understand it.
Right hardware.
You need to have an ID.
You need to have papers to vote.
Oh.
You need an ID to enroll in school.
And you need an ID to apply for loans to come to school.
Why ID Requirements Affect Minorities00:12:48
And you were able to do that, right?
You don't have loans.
I don't have loans.
Oh, we got a money maker over here.
Oh, no, you're just really smart.
So you're here on grant.
Okay, okay.
But to get those grants, I bet you they had to ID you, right?
And make sure you are who you say you are to be able to get that money.
You have to prove your address.
You have to do it like that.
So do we support or are we against voter ID laws to vote in a federal election?
You have to have like identification to vote basically.
Yeah.
Bryce basically going back to jail.
I don't know, man.
Like, I don't know what to say.
Because if I say like, I don't mind, like, I don't want to like.
Nah.
Yeah.
I feel like it just.
I feel like it's not really like a problem.
To be honest, it's not necessary for like ID because like.
How do you know they're not going to vote 35 times?
Yeah, you're right.
That's what I think so far.
I have to show my ID.
I don't vote.
I don't know.
That's everywhere.
As you guys know, I don't go anywhere to film and have conversations in the public square without security.
Go to patreon.com/slash Caitlin Bennett to support my work and help fund my security.
Even $5 a month helps doing that.
That was Roman.
He's a great executive protection agent.
We love him over here.
So to support Roman and make sure I can pay him to be with me, go to patreon.com/slash Caitlin Bennett.
$5 a month.
You even get my private Facebook group.
We can chat one-on-one.
It's a win-win.
Thank you guys.
So here's the thing: I'm a woman.
I'm a married woman.
I wasn't so stupid or so out of it that I couldn't get proof of my marriage license to change my name with court documents or with the government for a license or my bank accounts.
Women are not so helpless that they can't do those things.
You're getting like a little too emotional.
So I'm going to go.
Oh, it's probably because I'm a woman.
Maybe we shouldn't be allowed to vote then.
Hold on, hold on.
How much did that cost you?
Do you know how much that costed you?
Or you're not worried about how much it costed you?
Right?
So I think that these new acts have a bigger effect on minorities more than just their race.
How so?
Because paperwork changes cost money.
How much money?
Can I ask you how much money you make an hour right now?
What's your salary?
You don't have to answer if that's a personal question.
Well, I'm in a bigger tax bracket than you are.
Exactly, right?
So you have that money, so to speak, to go towards that documental change, but I'm a college student.
A lot of my money goes towards my tuition, towards my rent, towards my medical condition, stuff like that.
I don't always have the funds necessary to change that, to make those payments upon those document changes.
Can I ask you something?
Yeah.
You're dressed very well.
You have a service animal.
This is all thrifted.
Great, great.
You have earphones and what are those?
AirPods.
They were getting a lot.
Okay, so you have AirPods.
You have jewelry in your nose.
You're here on a college campus.
So you were able and you were smart enough and you had enough money to apply to do what you needed to do for all of these things.
You have enough money to be here and live comfortably on campus.
No, I don't live on campus.
No.
Okay, so off campus.
Yeah.
Who pays your rent?
No one pays my rent.
Me and my mom own my house, but we sold my last house, but I paid your own campaigns.
So you live, so you pay your own bills.
Why could you not pay for documentation to be able to vote in an election?
Well, it's the same reason why I can't pay for my tuition.
I get federal funding.
Now, if you guys are going to put that, if that law is going to be put into place and stuff like that, I am not against it so long as you have policies to support people who need that additional support, right?
Like what?
Like funding, federal funding.
Funding for what?
For people who are needy.
If you need those document changes, then there's like.
Okay, go ahead.
Kind of like with tuition, right?
Let me, I'm going to say what I think you're saying.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Are you saying the government should help pay for these documents in order to register to vote if the government's requiring certain documents to register to vote?
I think that if you're saying to an extent, yes, right?
So like you said, we all have like our licenses and stuff, right?
Those aren't big, fast-made changes, right?
But like when you got married, you had to change a lot of documents in a very short manner of time, right?
No, there wasn't, it wasn't really like, oh, once you get married, you only have a month to change things.
That's not how it works.
But to make that voting, to make that voting deadline, if you really wanted to vote and stuff like that, you had to do it before that deadline, right?
But all of the stuff that I have talking about right now, this was over a collection of years.
Years of saving and putting money into things, right?
That's a good point.
You saved money to be able to get the things you have.
How could a woman not be able to save money to get documents that she needs to change her ID, get an ID that matches so she could go vote?
You know, four years.
That's my point.
I'm not saying that woman can't.
No, it's not that.
I'm saying that it will affect minorities, but in a different way.
You're a minority.
Right?
Yeah, I could be.
Did you have a hard time getting an ID for your loans or for your college application?
Absolutely not.
No.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Absolutely not.
So yeah.
So you are fully capable.
Of course.
Do you guys think it's appropriate and reasonable to require American citizens to have an ID to vote?
ID?
Yes.
Yeah, you should have a license to vote, like an ID, like an American citizen.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Okay, right now there's a bill going through Congress that the House just passed and the Senate Democrats are saying they will not support it because they think it's racist and anti-woman to require proof of citizenship and an ID enabled in order to vote.
But I feel like every woman should have an ID, right?
Like why would that pass be anti-woman?
Wait, is there more that you're not telling me?
So to register to vote, you would have to prove that you're an American citizen.
Okay, okay.
Well, that's fine.
Then that's fine.
If you're registered to vote and you're an American citizen, then if you're an undocumented immigrant, you're probably not going to be able to vote because you don't have papers.
Some of them do.
How would they get in?
How would they?
Some states don't have voter ID laws.
I thought you had to be a citizen of a vote.
I thought that's the whole registration thing.
Do you not need your license?
But some places don't have strict registration laws.
But Trump still won though, so like it probably didn't do anything.
Also, Hispanics love Trump.
Y'all got your help.
Why do you say Hispanics love Trump?
You know, Cuba's for Trump.
Don't mean to get back, you know.
But how will it affect minorities?
I'm saying that it won't affect minorities blatantly because it's racist.
I don't think it's a racist thing.
Okay.
It's not race, maybe more like income.
More like income.
There are some people who can't afford it, you know, if that makes sense, right?
So just because, like, let's say like someone was living in and out of a homeless shelter, right?
But they do have documentation, they do have their license, or at least their ID and stuff like that, right?
But they may not have the funds to go and get those document changes if something was say to happen, right?
So here's the Save Act.
This is what it does.
I don't know if you know what it does.
It requires proof of citizenship at the time of registration.
Yeah.
So you prove you're a citizenship.
If you're a married woman and you've changed your name and the birth certificate is not the same last name as your current legal name, you just upload documents that prove your name change.
Yeah.
And that's it.
And then furthermore, when you go to vote, you have to submit a voter, a photo ID that shows, or a passport or a military ID like that.
The Senate Democrats are saying that it's racist.
Yeah.
And it's Jim Crow 2.0.
They're saying it hurts women because of the name change thing.
And my argument is that I don't think minorities and women are too stupid or financially instable that they can't obtain the things they need to vote when they know for the next literally forever we know what day elections are going to happen.
So there's no reason I think the Democrats just know securing elections hurts them.
I don't necessarily, I don't necessarily agree with that, strictly speaking, but I also don't think that because a person can't meet that income requirement or they can't save or do that stuff because they're stupid, I don't think it's purely subjective to women.
I think that it can affect men too, but I do not think it's immigrants.
I do not think that it is purely a race thing.
I said it can affect minorities, but not in the way that they're saying.
You probably should have an ID.
Right.
I would think that might be a good idea.
Right.
Well, what do you think?
I agree.
Okay.
So Chuck Schumer specifically is saying that this bill is like Jim Crow 2.0 and that it's racist.
Can you come up with any reason why voter ID would be a racist thing to implement?
Not really.
No, you're going to be racist to me.
Yeah.
You either have an ID or you don't.
Right.
I mean, any race can get an ID in person.
That's very interesting that you give Donald Trump an F, you're not a fan of his.
Yeah, I think you might actually support something that the Republicans and Trump is trying to push through.
Yeah, there might.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's true.
Okay, very cool.
One thing.
One thing, right?
But it seems to be pretty important.
If you could say something to Chuck Schumer or the Democrats who have vouched to not support this and it's not going to go through the Senate, would you encourage them to rethink that and say this isn't that bad of a bill?
Probably.
Yeah.
Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats are saying that it's racist to require that.
Do you guys think black people can get an ID?
Yes, I don't see why not.
We're asking people today if they think voter ID laws, if they agree with Chuck Schumer, that voter ID laws are racist.
I don't think they're racist.
I think they're common sense.
Okay.
Why do you think Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats keep saying that it's Jim Crow 2.0 that it's racist to require an ID to vote?
I don't know.
I think they're kind of reaching.
I don't think it's racist.
Well, let me ask you this.
Do you think you need an ID to purchase a gun?
Yeah.
Do you?
I don't know.
I never need an ID.
Yeah, but should we?
Should we?
Should there be a requirement of an ID to purchase a gun?
Yeah, it should be a requirement to purchase to have any like 16-year-old earning.
Yeah.
Well, you don't.
You don't have to register your gun.
There is no national registration database.
Nope.
But anyway, so that's the point is like the Second Amendment is our right to bear arms.
And people agree that you should have an ID before you get a gun.
I think that when we cast a vote in this country, you should identify yourself to make sure, one, you're not a felon or someone restricted from voting.
And also, you are who you say you are and you aren't voting like 10 times in an election.
Is that fair?
Yep, I would say that's fair.
All right.
All right.
So the consensus is that it's not racist.
I don't think that's fair for you to say.
I wouldn't say it's not racist.
Oh, no, it's definitely fair.
Voter ID is not racist.
I don't know if this is a trick question.
I don't know if you're online.
It really depends on what could happen because some people could get deterred based off like their identification.
You don't know whoever's accepting the ID, they'll probably be like, oh.
No, but basically.
How would that be racist though?
Like if you can't like brother.
I guess that's your point.
But like I don't know.
I don't think black people are so stupid they can't get an ID.
That actually happens because I know like specifically to black people.
It's a black problem.
Just like a minority thing.
Some people just don't have access to go to the DMV and get IDs.
You feel me?
It's like some people are just not, I guess, financially able to do that.
You know what I mean?
How's it like a black people thing though?
It's not just a black people thing, but I'm saying it's like a minority thing.
Really?
You think it's an over.
I don't think minorities are so stupid that they can't obtain an ID.
I also think, well, I mean, if it's unfair for voting, then is it unfair for TSA or to get a passport or to buy a firearm or to apply for loans, get a bank account?
Minorities can do those things.
Yeah.
Yeah, but some people get like, what's it called?
Like, you still get deferred or like rejected from like if you apply for loans.
I feel like we know when election dates are happening.
We know it for the rest of time, as long as this country is a thing.
We know when elections are going to be.
Women and minorities are smart enough, I believe in them enough, that they can obtain what they need to obtain in that timeframe.
And the fact that Senate Democrats are saying that it is Jim Crow 2.0 is disgusting and very prejudiced against minorities and people of color, if you want to use that term, because they're not so stupid that they can't get what they need to get.
