John – This week, Republicans united to elect Representative Mike Johnson from Louisiana as Speaker of the House. Speaker Johnson is a friend and true conservative. While most speak in sound bites, he speaks with a true understanding of conservative philosophy. Mike Johnson will make an outstanding Speaker. I also held a press conference this week to make a simple demand: No additional aid for Ukraine without also securing our southern border. This is a commonsense position, and you can watch my full remarks below. Thank you for your continued support. If you would like to make a donation of any amount to my campaign, I would greatly appreciate your contribution at this link. Now, here’s your campaign brief. OUR SOUTHERN BORDER MUST COME FIRST CLICK HERE OR ON THE IMAGE ABOVE TO WATCH Republicans in Congress must stand by a simple line in the sand: no Ukraine aid without also securing our border with meaningful policy reforms. This week I led a press conference that outlined my plan to do just that. If we beat Russia and secure our border, America wins. We must do both. Both are in our interest. Republicans must understand that this is the only way we will get meaningful border security. This is our one chance. There is no other legislative vehicle other than Ukraine aid that Biden wants badly enough. So we must negotiate border security into it. We can do this. Biden already proposed $14 billion for the border in the supplemental spending package he submitted to Congress. But we know that’s not enough. We know you need policy reform along with the funding. If we let Russia win, our deterrence is screwed for the next 50 years. Expect dictators like Putin to keep starting wars and watch American influence diminish while China’s increases. But we can’t keep fighting that battle while Texas is invaded. We must do both. This must be the grand bargain. HOW TO DETER IRAN CLICK HERE OR ON THE IMAGE ABOVE TO VIEW Iran continues to test the United States, taking advantage of the war in Israel to probe our weaknesses and see what our response will be. Iranian proxies are now responsible for attacking American troops resulting in serious injuries in recent days. We must make it clear: If you attack American forces, you should pay the price. Swift and aggressive action deters further attacks. Sometimes that simple fact needs to be spelled out. You don’t need to bomb Tehran to retaliate. I know too many people illogically believe there’s only two options: do nothing or do everything. There’s a lot of options in the middle to deter aggression from Iran and prevent this war from spreading. We must take them.
