John,

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

On Wednesday, I joined President Donald J. Trump in Harrisburg for his first campaign rally in the Commonwealth since the horrific assassination attempt in Butler just a few short weeks ago that injured the president and supporters and tragically took the life of a hero, Corey Comparatore. 

As the emcee, I was honored to give the opening remarks before the rally. There is truly nothing like a Trump Rally, and there is absolutely nothing like a Trump Rally in Pennsylvania! I was excited to see many of our faithful Trump friends from the 9th District at the rally. You can click here or below to watch my remarks.

President Trump was greeted by an entire arena with thousands waiting outside. It was a massive turnout, and the President did not disappoint. He spoke about the important consequences of the choice voters must make on November 5th and his plans to Make America Proud Again, safe Again, free Again, and GREAT AGAIN! Click here or below to watch President Trump's speech.

There were so many great Americans there excited to elect President Donald J. Trump. Below, I am pictured with Bikers for Trump.

With the Democrat hierarchy forcing Joe Biden out of the race and disenfranchising millions of voters, the focus of the race now is centered on Kamala Harris. Harris’ views are not just radically liberal; they are dangerous to Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is the second largest producer of natural gas in the country, with the industry directly supporting 123,000 jobs in the Commonwealth and generating $41 billion in economic activity. Yet Kamala Harris wants to kill the natural gas industry, putting her Green New Deal ideology above the needs of Pennsylvanians and all Americans. She is left of Bernie Sanders on the Green New Deal and is only now claiming to reverse her positions in a sad attempt to hide her real beliefs. I joined "Varney & Co" on Fox Business to discuss Kamala Harris' views. Click here or below to watch.

There is a lot of news surrounding Harris' choice for a vice presidential nominee, and much is focused on whether she will choose Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. If Governor Shapiro joins the Harris ticket, he will be fully owning the most radical and dangerously liberal agenda of any presidential candidate in history. He will have to own Harris’ open border policies, he’ll have to own banning fracking in Pennsylvania, he’ll have to own DEI initiatives in the military, and he’ll have to own Harris’ weak-on-crime ideology, which includes bailing violent criminals out of jail. I joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Fox News to discuss. Click here or below to watch.

I recently called on Senate leaders to take up H.R.7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, and am pleased they will do so later today. This important piece of legislation would provide relief to millions of American small businesses by restoring 100% bonus depreciation, immediate R&D expensing, and interest deductibility. These provisions, many implemented through the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, have served as a lifeline to entrepreneurs, allowing them to grow their businesses, create jobs, and innovate. I urge all Senators to support Main Street America and pass this pro-growth initiative.

Let’s celebrate two exceptional athletes from the 9^th Congressional District participating in the Paris 2024 Olympics! Karlie Kisha from Hamburg, PA, is competing on the USA Women’s Field Hockey team, while Zain Retherford from Benton, PA, is competing in Men’s Wrestling.

Join me in cheering them on as they proudly represent Team USA! Be sure to catch Karlie and the USA Women’s Field Hockey team in action. Stay tuned for more details about Zain’s first match, which is scheduled for August 10.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Kamala Harris is dangerously liberal - At her San Francisco core, Kamala is a card-carrying member of the Radical Left whose dangerous beliefs are out of step with Americans. Now, at the top of her ticket, Kamala is desperately trying to mask her true far-left self from Americans.

Sorry, Kamala — you can run, but you cannot hide from your weak, failed, dangerously liberal ideology.

It's who Kamala is — and always will be:

• She supports taxpayer-funded transgender surgery for convicted criminals.

• She "object[s]" to the terms "radical Islamic terrorism" and "illegal alien."
  
  
• She backs mass amnesty for the millions of unvetted illegal aliens you let into the country.
  
  
• She covered up the biggest scandal in modern political history.

• She calls for abolishing ICE.

• She brags about reversing President Trump's successful border security measures.
  
  
• She says a "70%-80% tax rate" is a "bold idea that should be discussed."
  
  
• She supports the socialist, job-killing Green New Scam.
  
  
• She advocates for a higher business tax rate than socialist Venezuela.
  
  
• She compares brave ICE agents to the KKK.
  
  
• She denies illegal immigration is an emergency.
  
  
• She wants to force millions of energy workers to "transition" to new jobs.
  
  
• She supports packing the Supreme Court with far-left activist judges.
  
  
• She defies the Supreme Court, then brags about it.

• She smears young Americans as "stupid."
  
  
• She calls for "some form of reparations."
  
  
• She fantasizes about killing President Trump.

If elected, Kamala Harris would govern from the fringes of the left because that's who she is (in her own words!).

While the left has been ironically throwing around the word "weird," the reality is that Kamala's agenda is WHACKY!

When Kamala tells us she is weak, failed, and dangerously liberal, we should believe her.

Earlier this week, I enjoyed attending the Schuylkill County Fair! Fair President Paul Kennedy gave us a great tour, introducing us to the Schuylkill County Fair Princesses and Queen, the PA Honey Queen from Lycoming County, and the PA Dairy Princesses and Queen.

While at the fair, I ran into PA State Representatives Jamie Barton, Tim Twardzik, and Joanne Stehr as I explored the agriculture exhibits and engaged with local constituents. I also appreciated connecting with members of Schuylkill County’s chapter of the Sportsman Association. Finally, no trip to the fair would be complete without stopping by the Schuylkill County GOP booth. I want to thank all of them for their continued efforts on behalf of President Trump, myself and the entire GOP ticket.

God Bless our great nation, God Bless our Republican Party, and God Bless President Donald J. Trump. I look forward to seeing you soon,

Dan Meuser
