John,
Good afternoon, and welcome to our
Weekend Update.
On Tuesday, I joined our next Vice
President, JD Vance, in Philadelphia for a rally supporting the
Trump-Vance Campaign. Donald Trump and JD Vance are business-minded,
commonsense, problem-solving conservatives. There was a great crowd,
and I enjoyed seeing so many Pennsylvania patriots ready to vote for
the Trump-Vance ticket. We are building a winning coalition, and I
think we will surprise many people in November with the significant
gains we have made in traditionally Democratic voting blocs... And
unlike Kamala Harris, Senator Vance took questions from the press and
answered them directly and with energy.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are
the most radically liberal, anti-growth politicians in the country.
The contrast between our two choices in November could not be starker.
Kamala Harris has no plan to improve our economy or national security
or strengthen our nation. If she did, she would use the last five
months of her vice presidency to implement policy changes rather than
only offering empty words and rhetoric. I joined the “American Agenda”
on Newsmax to discuss the clear choice Americans have to make
at the ballot box. Click

Kamala Harris’ decision to choose Tim
Walz over Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro proves she is very
comfortable with a Vice President whose ideology includes being a
self-proclaimed socialist. They passed on Shapiro for several reasons,
but glaringly, they passed on him because of his strong support for
Israel. Frankly, that’s disgraceful. The Harris-Walz ticket will
embody a radical San Francisco ideology and be dangerously liberal. It
will include all the beliefs and positions Kamala Harris and Tim Walz
voiced over the years.
These include open borders,
decriminalizing illegal immigration, disbanding ICE, defunding the
police, banning fracking, a DEI military, and a big-spending,
big-government approach at the expense of the economy and working
Americans. As a reminder, Kamala Harris not only encouraged rioters
who burned and destroyed Minneapolis, but she also participated in a
fund to bail them out, and it was Governor Walz who sat idly by as
Minneapolis burned. He was even quoted as saying he was “proud” of the
rioters. And just last week, Tim Walz said, “One person’s socialism is
another person’s neighborliness.” The differences could not be
starker. Trump-Vance are business-minded, commonsense conservatives
who will strengthen America at home and abroad. Harris is ranked the
most radical leftist in the U.S. Senate, along with Tim Walz, and
together, they are a dangerously liberal tag team focused on their
extreme ideology and not at all on outcomes that strengthen our
country or favor the American people.
I joined Newsmax to discuss
Kamala Harris’ dangerously liberal agenda, her selection of Governor
Tim Walz as her running mate over Governor Shapiro, and more. Click

Later in the week, I joined Newsmax
again to discuss Harris’ decision to bypass Governor Shapiro in
favor of an extremely liberal candidate like Tim Walz. Her decision is
also a message from Team Harris that they do not care about
Pennsylvania. Click

I was also pleased to join Sean Spicer on
“The Sean Spicer Show” to discuss the extreme policy positions of the
Harris-Walz ticket. Click

This week, I joined Bob Cordaro on
WILK-FM. We discussed the dangerously liberal policies Kamala
Harris has pushed throughout her political career, Tim Walz's
embellishments about his military service, and Josh Shapiro's being
passed over for VP, in large part because he supports Israel. Click

Kamala Harris touts Bidenomics, but its
legacy is one of reckless spending, a war on domestic energy, soaring
taxes, and crippling regulations that stifle businesses.
Harris plans to double down on these
failed policies, a recipe for economic volatility in a landscape
devoid of pro-growth measures. I joined "Mornings with Maria" on Fox
Business to discuss further. Click
here or below to watch.
The only path to real economic stability
is to reimplement the previous administration’s pro-growth agenda,
which promises to transform the United States into the world's most
competitive place for business.
On Monday, I went to Wen-Crest farms in
Lebanon County to discuss agriculture with U.S. Senate candidate Dave
McCormick, U.S. Senator John Thune (SD), and Mike Firestine. This
discussion, which Dave McCormick put together, touched on many
important issues ranging from the Farm Bill to getting whole milk back
in schools. Agriculture is the leading industry in the 9th
Congressional District and the entire state of Pennsylvania. I’m happy
that my friend Dave McCormick is leading the conversation. Thank you
to Steve and Bonnie Wenger for having us all on their farm.
On Wednesday, we attended a victory
office opening in Northumberland County! I joined State Senator Lynda
Schlegel Culver, State Rep Mike Stender, and Northumberland committee
members as we welcomed the public to get signs and campaign materials.
To get your signs, visit their victory center at 611 Market St,
Sunbury, PA 17801.
Later, we hosted a telephone town hall
for residents of the 9th Congressional District to discuss important
issues that directly impact them. I want to thank everyone who
participated. I always enjoy connecting directly with constituents to
ensure their voices are heard in Washington!
IN NEWS THAT YOU WON’T HEAR IN
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Border Czar Kamala Harris knowingly
released 99 terrorists into the U.S.
Border Czar Kamala let *at least* 99
illegal aliens on the terror watchlist into the country AFTER they
were arrested, according to an explosive
new report.
That means the Harris-Biden
administration KNEW they were suspected terrorists — but released them
into our communities anyway.
This isn't just incompetence —
it's criminal negligence.
Under Border Czar Kamala, illegal aliens
on the terror watchlist have been encountered from at least 36
different countries — most of which hate us. Tens of thousands of
illegals from "countries that could present national security risks"
have illegally
crossed the southern border in FY2024 alone.
Many of them were subsequently shipped to
communities across the country.
Add it to the chaos that has been
unleashed in the few short weeks since Kamala was installed as
the Democrats' nominee:
Does anybody think Americans will be more
safe if Kamala is elected in November?
Unfortunately, this is just the
tip of the iceberg regarding the failed Harris-Biden
agenda.
Contrast that with President Trump’s four-year record in office,
which yielded tremendous success, despite the fact that after his
first two years in office, Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker, and Chuck
Schumer was the Senate's Majority Leader. Also, President Trump’s 4th
year was 2020, as the Covid pandemic hit our country and world.
President Trump had a plan, a sense of business urgency, and effective
execution despite fighting the red tape-deep regulatory swamp left by
eight years of Obama. As a reminder, below is a list of some of the Trump
Administration‘s accomplishments.
For a complete list of the Trump Administration’s
accomplishments, click

Energy:
- Our country was the number one oil and gas producer in the
world
- Our country was a net energy exporter for the first time in almost
70 years.
- Gas prices fell to just $1.84 a gallon.
- Approved the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines and rolled
back unnecessary regulations that hurt energy production.
Tax Cuts/Economy:
- Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
- This led to $1 trillion in repatriated investments as corporations
brought their offshore profits back to the United States.
- All taxpayers, particularly small businesses, had their taxes
reduced. Small businesses benefited from Trump’s R&D Tax Credit,
Interest Deductibility, Bonus Depreciation, and the Small Business
Deduction (199A).
- No inflation; real wages increased
- Cut more job-killing regulations than any administration
Military:
- President Trump rebuilt the U.S. military with nearly $2.5
trillion,
- Created Space Force
- Signed VA Accountability Act and VA Choice Act.
Border:
- 500 miles of wall built
- Implemented Remain in Mexico policy
- Ended catch-and-release
- Deployed nearly 5,000 troops to the Southern border
- Deported nearly 20,000 gang members
- Illegal border crossings fell by almost 90% under Trump
- Secured the assistance of Mexico, which deployed 15-20k Mexican
military personnel to guard its southern and northern border.
Trade:
- Replaced NAFTA with the USMCA.
- Withdrew from the horrible Trans-Pacific Partnership
- Virtually eliminating the “Death Tax” for farmers
Foreign Policy:
- Russia was in check/Iran was in retreat
- ISIS caliphate had been 100 percent obliterated.
- Withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal and imposed the toughest-ever
sanctions on Iran
- North Korea had not launched a single long-range missile since
President Trump’s summit with Chairman Kim nearly three years
before.
- Recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
- Signed the Abraham Accords. It was the most significant Peace plan
agreed to by the key Middle Eastern nations in history.
- Peace through strength, and a win-win business approach as opposed
to weak, bureaucratic posturing which defines the
Biden-Harris-Blinken-Austin approach.
Judicial Confirmations:
- President Trump appointed nearly 300 federal judges, including
three Supreme Court Justices, to defend our Constitution.
There are clear and distinct policy
differences between Harris and Trump, and the American public deserves
healthy and fair debates between the candidates. President Trump has
been clear about his desire to have debates. Unfortunately, it appears
Kamala Harris is only serious about hiding her radical agenda and
failed record. How else do you explain why she has not held a press
conference since becoming the nominee? President Trump has proposed
three debates, the first on September 4th in Harrisburg with Fox News.
Please take a look at the President's post below.
