This video, presented by Matt Morse, discusses a new national security executive order signed by President Trump regarding the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. The creator argues that the order is a major sanctions program designed to combat foreign election interference, including hacking, propaganda, and foreign money in US elections (0:54 - 1:39).
Key points covered in the video:
Executive Order 13848: The video explains that this order allows the US Treasury to block assets of foreign individuals or entities involved in election interference (0:54 - 1:39).
Election Integrity Concerns: The creator highlights claims of past foreign data acquisition, voter roll issues like non-citizen registration, and vulnerabilities in electronic voting systems (2:38 - 3:54).
2026 Midterm Outlook: The video presents data suggesting Republicans are more likely to vote and have a larger ad reservation budget than Democrats (4:06 - 6:42).
Political Pride: The creator contrasts polling data from 2001 and 2026, claiming a significant decline in Democrat pride in being American, which he links to voter turnout (6:57 - 8:12).
House Majority Forecasts: The video reviews a seat projection for the House of Representatives, stating that Republicans are in a strong position to maintain control (8:14 - 9:20).
The video concludes with an appeal for viewers to vote in the 2026 midterms to support the Republican platform (10:21 - 11:05).

Native Land Pod woke Communists have a plan.

He is not going to let THIS election go to cheating.
Hooray for President Trump!
The eo is from 2018.
UNFORTUNATELY this is the case with EVERY ONE of the Free Republic's serial posters. They look for scandalous headlines, don't bother to look any deeper, don't post a follow-up, and DON"T CHECK TO SEE IF SOMEONE ALREADY HAS POSTED THE SAME ITEM.
They're getting people spun up purely for their own aggrandizement. Between that and all the morons endlessly posting the same tired old jokes about "your anus" or "huge manatees," the voices of the grownups in the room are being drowned out.
“Trump Declares NATIONAL SECURITY EMERGENCY.”
yeah, EO signed in 2018 [yep, a REAL “emergency”]:
Executive Order 13848 is a U.S. presidential directive signed by President Donald Trump on September 12, 2018
What was recently published (around early September 2026) is the routine annual continuation of the national emergency that EO 13848 originally declared.
federalregister.gov
Under the National Emergencies Act, most declared national emergencies must be formally continued each year by presidential notice (published in the Federal Register) or they automatically expire. The recent notice (dated around August 31, 2026, and published shortly after) simply states that the emergency declared in 2018 “must continue in effect beyond September 12, 2026” for another year, because the underlying threat of foreign interference in or undermining of public confidence in U.S. elections is still assessed to exist.
govinfo.gov
This is a standard, recurring bureaucratic step that has happened yearly since 2018 (under multiple administrations). It keeps the existing sanctions authorities and framework under EO 13848 in place; it does not re-issue, re-sign, or newly “execute” the original order.YouTube videos (including the one you linked) often highlight or react to these Federal Register publications, sometimes with titles or framing that can make a routine continuation look like brand-new action. That timing and presentation is why it can appear as if the EO itself was just issued. In reality, the EO has been on the books since 2018, and only its associated national emergency was renewed.
See post 9.
so nothing new, then ... same ol’ 2018 “emergency” ...
“ so nothing new, then ... same ol’ 2018 “emergency” ...”
Yep. Cheating. And as President Trump said, “we caught them all. We have them all”
Watch
He should declare one on women after their lindsay clancy support across the nation

it doesn’t appear that the executive order gives the president much authority to do much to tamp down fraud in the elections since the federal judges have all ruled against him.
I love it that Trump does not play by the rules the Establishment/Deep State Republicans have always lived by my whole lifetime.
He is on the attack. God Bless that man.
THIS is why they hate him.
I went to a meeting tonight, and we have a new guy who despises Trump. As such, I dislike him, but am trying to find a way to work with this newcomer.
He said tonight he was a “McCain Republican” and I nearly jumped out of my chair. Those I detest most of all.
McCain would have not only said as a Republican “Thank you, sir-may I have another?” he would have also said “Let me take a whack at that Republican for you.”
Scumbag.
Except Trump DOJ today is far tougher than in 2018.
Entire DOJ was a joke in Trump’s first term.
Its much much tougher now.
It does.
And federal judges have certainly NOT all ruled against Trump.
Overwhelming % of the cases that got to SCOTUS were ruled for Trump.
“ Except Trump DOJ today is far tougher than in 2018.
Entire DOJ was a joke in Trump’s first term.
Its much much tougher now.”
Don’t doubt it.
