Majority Whip Tom Emmer was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Cheryl Casone to discuss the SAVE America Act and the Clarity Act.

Rep Emmer expressed his frustration with the Senate for not passing legislation that is supported by a majority of Americans.

“Let’s first talk about the agenda. What is at the top of the agenda? Obviously, short-term government funding. You want to avert any kind of pre-election shutdown,” Casone said.

“You’ve only got 16 legislative days before you leave again on October 1st. What can you get done?” Casone asked.

“First off, you hit the number one thing. The short-term funding bill that was sent over by the Senate. The continuing resolution that would fund the government through December 11th. That will be a priority over in the House because we get things done,” Emmer said.

“We’ve sent our priorities over to the Senate. We sent the Clarity Act, which is about digital assets. A market structure bill. We sent that a year ago Cheryl, with almost a hundred Democrat votes, and it languishes over in the Senate,” Emmer said.

“We sent the SAVE America Act several times, and it sits over there, languishing in the Senate, and we sent over obviously Reconciliation 3.0, which is also just sitting there in the Senate,” Emmer continued.

“It really is gonna be on the Senate’s shoulders to start getting something done when we get back. As for the House, we’ve got appropriations bills. Many of our members have different priorities. Those will be addressed,” Emmer continued.

“The House has been working Cheryl. We’ve been getting our stuff over to the Senate. The Senate has got to start to perform,” Emmer said.

“It’s still unclear if Senator Majority Leader John Thune has the votes for SAVE America. The Clarity Act is still a hanging question mark right now. What do you know? What can you share with us?” Casone asked.

“What’s coming out of the Senate. Everybody has heard them say we don’t have the votes. Really? You don’t have the votes for something that is an 80 percent issue across this country,” Emmer commented.

“People believe it’s reasonable that in order to vote in this country, you must first establish that you are a lawful citizen. That’s number one. Number two, when you show up to vote, you make sure that you identify, you can confirm that you are that citizen who is lawfully right to vote by showing a photo ID. That’s an 80 percent issue,” Emmer said.

“When you say you don’t have the votes, tell us what the problem is. What exactly do you disagree with when it comes to the American people, and they are not telling us that,” Emmer explained.

Google Maps has officially begun displaying Lake Ontario as “Lake America” to users in the United States.

The move comes days after President Donald Trump ordered the historic lake renamed amid his escalating trade war with Canada.

The change began rolling out over the weekend, making Google the first major online maps provider to implement Trump’s latest geographic rebranding.

Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the federal government to adopt “Lake America” as the official U.S. name for Lake Ontario, the easternmost of the five Great Lakes.

The move follows Trump’s 2025 decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

This change that was subsequently adopted for U.S. users by major mapping services after federal geographic databases were updated.

Google said it is following the U.S. Geographic Names Information System.

“People using Maps in the U.S. will see ‘Lake America,’ those in Canada will continue to see ‘Lake Ontario,’ and those outside of the U.S. and Canada will see both names,” the company said.

The renaming is the latest flashpoint in the ongoing trade dispute between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Trade negotiations collapsed earlier this month after Carney chose to walk away.

The breakdown led Trump to impose U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, with retaliatory Canadian tariffs expected to take effect on September 8th.

Carney has pushed back on Trump’s executive order.

“We know that America is changing,” Carney said. “Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.”

“Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario — then, now and always.”

Ontario Premier Doug Ford joined the protest Saturday, unveiling a large lakeside sign declaring “Lake Ontario Now and Always.”

Ford has recently threatened to cut off electricity to the U.S. over the disputed.

One nation continues to surge, to the dismay of PM Anthony Albanese Globalist forces.

The Australian populists and anti-Globalists from the One Nation party are experiencing pretty much the same as similar political forces in Europe: to begin with, they are smeared by the whole of the MSM as ‘far-right’ – and besides, they are surging, having become the most popular party in the country.

Today, the One Nation party has turned its high poll numbers into an electoral victory, securing its first lower-house seat in the state parliament of Western Australia.

To do that, they defeated the ruling Globalists from the Labor Party to win a special election.

Reuters reported:

“Gym owner Luke Herdegen scored One Nation’s first lower house seat in the Western Australia parliament, an official tally showed on Sunday, taking a seat in the state ​capital Perth that had been held by Labor for decades.

One Nation, ​led by Senator Pauline Hanson, overtook Labor in a national opinion poll ⁠for the first time in June, a month after winning its first elected seat ​in the federal House of Representatives.”

One Nation has taken a seat where the Liberals have never been able to challenge Labor.

We are the only party that can take the fight to Anthony Albanese where the Liberal Party never could.

Because Australians are looking for someone who will actually stand up for them.

We’re…

Bloomberg reported:

“The election was watched as an indicator of One Nation’s strength after the party surged in the polls over the past year. With 75% of votes counted, One Nation’s Luke Herdegen held 57% while the candidate for the ruling Labor Party took 43%, according to the state electoral commission late Saturday in state capital Perth. Broadcaster ABC called the byelection for Herdegen.

[…] Labor holds an overwhelming majority in the state parliament so the election won’t affect its ability to govern, but it will be seen as a sign that One Nation has been able to capitalize on its surge in the polls over the last year and translate that into election wins.

[…] ‘There are no safe Labor seats in this state or in this country any more’, Herdegen told celebrating supporters, in comments broadcast by ABC. ‘None of these MPs are safe from the orange tsunami’.”

Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar performed a rapid reversal Saturday after initially criticizing President Donald Trump’s massive new oil agreement with Venezuela before deleting her posts and returning to praise the deal.

Salazar, a Florida congresswoman and longtime critic of Venezuela’s socialist regime, argued that any agreement struck under the current regime could not be trusted beyond Trump’s presidency.

“Any oil ‘deal’ with Venezuela’s interim regime has an expiration date: the day President Trump leaves the White House,” Salazar wrote on X.

She also warned that Rodríguez was simply “buying time,” arguing that the Venezuelan regime had previously seized American investments and could do so again.

“The regime has stolen American investments before, and it will do again the moment it can,” she wrote.

Salazar, who is known for her support for amnesty and illegal immigration, subsequently deleted both the English and Spanish versions of her post.

Around an hour later, however, the Florida congresswoman returned to X with a markedly different assessment.

“The U.S.-Venezuela oil deal is a great deal for the United States and the Venezuelan people,” Salazar declared.

“For years, China took advantage of Venezuela’s weakness to buy its oil at deep discounts.

”Now America is stepping in, and American investment and influence offer Venezuela a path toward prosperity, stability, and security.”

Salazar maintained her opposition to Venezuela’s current leadership, adding: “Delcy is the wrong person to make this deal with.”

She argued that the agreement should last far beyond Trump’s presidency, provided Venezuela establishes democratic institutions and holds free elections.

“We want this deal to last 100 years,” she wrote.

Trump announced the landmark agreement on Friday, saying the U.S. had negotiated with Rodríguez to give private American companies access to 65 billion barrels of proven Venezuelan oil reserves.

Trump said the agreement would come “at no cost to the American Taxpayer” and predicted it would significantly increase American oil supplies while helping drive down energy prices.

Venezuela, meanwhile, said American companies would receive access to 17 oil fields, generating up to $100 billion in investment and more than $209 billion in tax revenue.

Rodríguez has served as Venezuela’s interim leader since January, following the capture and extradition of Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by U.S. Special Forces.

Salazar did not explain why she deleted her original posts or what prompted her sudden change of tone.

California Republican Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with guest host Cheryl Casone to discuss the ongoing affordability crisis under current California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“Joining me now on the state of California’s economy, Republican candidate for California Governor, Steve Hilton,” Casone said.

“Even San Francisco Democrats are breaking ranks with their own party, planning to vote no against the billionaire tax. They say it would destroy the economy. Your thoughts?” Casone asked.

“Well, they are right, but what’s so infuriating Cheryl, is the attitude you see there from Gavin Newsom. I mean, this project that you are talking about, it could have built the shipyard that the largest in the world to manufacture ships, five times bigger than the current biggest one in the world, which is in China, giving America a massive advantage. And it’s gone to Texas, and Newsom stands there talking about it like he is some passive bystander,” Hilton said.

“He is talking about refiners closing, and this is gone and that is gone as if he had nothing to do with it. He’s been the Governor for nearly the last eight years,” Hilton said.

“The refineries gone? No, not gone, shut down because of Newsom’s policies, and the Democrat policies that we’ve had 16 years now of one-party rule,” Hilton continued.

“Every day, when I hear business leaders say to me, ‘if you don’t win in November, we’re out,’” Hilton said.

“The exodus of business from California that we’ve seen in the last few years will turn into a stampede. We are sleepwalking towards an economic cliff. We already have the highest unemployment rate of all 50 states, the highest poverty rate, the highest cost of living. If we don’t change direction in November and have some common sense and pro-business policies, I really fear for what will happen to this state,” Hilton explained.

Hilton is running against former HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, who is the Democrat nominee for California Governor.

“You are up against Xavier Becerra. You’ve gone after his record. You’ve got these new ads that are attacking his record handling unaccompanied migrant children when he was HHS Secretary,” Casone said.

“You’ve got some breaking news with regards to this letter that you are now sending to Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel. What is it?” Casone asked.

“This guy Becerra. He is a 36-year career politician. He will be worse even than Newsom if he’s elected,” Hilton said.

“The really terrible thing is that he is up to his neck in a corruption scandal that’s involving his former chief of staff,” Hilton said.

“Becerra claims he knew nothing about this illegal scheme, but we’ve got the witness statement from the case,” Hilton continued.

The United States launched a surprise attack on the Iranian regime on Sunday.

According to Iranian expert Tousi, this was a pre-eminent attack on the regime after the US received information that the Iranians were about to launch a strike in Jordan.

One Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps official ended his speech early after a heart attack took him off to his 70 virgins.

​Senior IRGC member and candidate Naemat al-Hami suffered a fatal heart attack right in the middle of his campaign speech.

Al-Hami was very excited before a heart attack took him out. It was quite a memorable speech.

You can manufacture propaganda, but you can’t hide a breakdown on live camera.
