The presidential debate, hosted by ABC News on Tuesday, was a clear example of media bias. The two ABC moderators, who were deeply biased in favor of Kamala Harris, engaged in a debate with President Donald J. Trump. Despite President Trump's resilience in the face of this biased onslaught, Harris was given a free pass, as Harris has had throughout the race by the mainstream media. This was evident in the fact that Harris was not held accountable for her blatant lies, flip-flopping, and lack of coherent or consistent policy positions.

Harris deflected questions about the economy and rising inflation. The truth is that the Harris-Biden administration is directly responsible for skyrocketing inflation, driven by reckless spending, an attack on American energy, and policies that pushed interest rates higher. Kamala Harris’s so-called "economic plan" is nothing more than a scheme to expand government control, enforce damaging price regulations, and distract from their failures by pointing fingers at gas stations and grocery stores. I joined "The Evening Edit" on Fox Business to discuss our nation's struggling economy under Harris and Biden. Click here or below to watch.

What is clear is that Harris does not have a plan to address the failed Harris-Biden economy and record inflation. Kamala conducted a disastrous interview on the local ABC news affiliate in Philadelphia and was asked about her plan to address the economy. Instead of answering with any semblance of a coherent plan, she again talked about growing up in a middle-class neighborhood and the importance of lawn maintenance. Click here or below to watch.

Here is a tip for Kamala: Americans are not worried about their lawns unless they have to buy gas for their lawnmower. They are worried about rising inflation and the fact that they can't pay for groceries. See below.

Kamala Harris’ blatant fracking lies are nothing short of outrageous. She has repeatedly declared her intention to ban fracking, yet now, in a shameless attempt to win an election, she’s completely reversed her stance. Let’s not forget that the Biden-Harris administration has outright prohibited the export of new LNG shipments, undermining American energy independence. Last night, Kamala didn’t just backtrack on a few policies—she flat-out lied to the American people.

Check out my interview on “The John Steigerwald Show.” We covered the many lies told by Kamala Harris during the presidential debate, Team Trump’s “Agenda 47 Policy Tour,” which was in Berks County this week with Governors Burgum and Noem, and much more! Click here or below to listen.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: The ABC debate was a classic example of how in the bag the liberal media is for Kamala. President Trump had to not only debate Harris but was ganged up on by the two moderators who constantly “fact-checked” his answers. They didn’t correct any of Harris’s lies; worse, their “fact-checking” was WRONG.

LIE: Moderator David Muir stated that statistics show that crime levels are decreasing.

TRUTH: The FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data, which he cited, does not tell the full story. FBI statistics only reflect crimes reported to the FBI and fail to account for the steep decline in arrest rates and the growing number of crimes that go unreported due to a soft-on-crime approach perpetrated by the Biden-Harris no-cash bail, pro-criminal policies. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), violent crime rose by an alarming 42.4% in 2022 — the most significant one-year increase ever recorded. The NCVS data, based on extensive surveys of American households, presents a much more accurate and alarming picture of the crime explosion happening across our country.

Moreover, the FBI itself has acknowledged significant issues with its data collection. In 2019, 89% of agencies covering 97% of the population submitted data, but by 2021, that coverage plummeted to less than 63% of departments overseeing just 65% of the population. In 2022, more than 30% of police departments nationwide, including major cities like Los Angeles and New York, failed to report crime data, while another 24% only partially reported. This leaves Americans with an incomplete and skewed picture of crime, particularly in urban areas where violent offenses have spiked.

LIE: Moderator Lindsey Davis stated that there is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.

FACT: That is not true. To date, Vermont, Oregon, New Mexico, New Jersey, Michigan, Maryland, Alaska, Colorado, the District of Columbia, and Harris’s VP Tim Walz’s state of Minnesota have no ban on gestational abortion limits.

It is a tragedy that ABC News and the moderators chose to tip the scales in support of Kamala Harris. The American people deserved a free and fair debate on the issues. Unfortunately, they were robbed of that opportunity, and Kamala Harris will not agree to a fair debate.

Kamala Harris did her fair share of lying... on fracking, immigration, and the point about no American soldiers being in combat zones as an attempt to deflect from their disastrous Afghanistan pullout. With perhaps the best fact-checking around, click here or below to watch American soldiers questioning what she is saying.... as they currently sit in a combat zone.

Earlier this week, the House Committee on Small Business marked up my legislation, H.R. 9085, the Regulatory Review Improvement Act of 2024. This bill is a step toward cutting red tape and reducing the regulatory burdens on small businesses. By streamlining the regulatory review process, we ensure that federal agencies are more transparent, accountable, and efficient in handling the rules directly impacting small business owners. This legislation is a win for every entrepreneur fighting against burdensome regulations while working hard to grow their business. Click here or below to watch my testimony.

At a House Financial Services Committee, I questioned witnesses on how ESG mandates undermine what’s best for investors. ESG should remain an option, not an obligation. Capitalism and free markets are built on the principle of choice—allowing Americans to invest based on their own priorities, not imposing values at the expense of value.

It was great meeting with Rich Cassey Jr. and James Rice on behalf of the Pennsylvania VFW this afternoon. We discussed the challenges facing veterans in Pennsylvania, the current state of the VA, and the latest legislative efforts in Congress to advance veterans' welfare.

This week, we paused to remember the 23rd anniversary of 9/11. We reaffirm our commitment to Never Forget the morning of September 11, 2001. It began like any other day for many of us. I remember driving my daughter to school, unaware that it would soon become a day marked by profound tragedy and incredible bravery. That clear, beautiful morning in Pennsylvania and the Northeast was overshadowed as news broke of a plane striking the World Trade Center. Watching in horror as the second plane hit, the gravity of the situation became apparent. The attack on the Pentagon and the courageous actions in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where passengers thwarted the terrorists' plans, was a testament to extraordinary bravery and sacrifice.

My father, Stan Meuser, a retired NYPD Detective, volunteered in the response and recovery efforts at Ground Zero following the tragic 9/11 attack. As always, I am very proud of my father. (Pictured below)

In that same spirit of remembrance, Congress posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the 13 service members who lost their lives in the terrorist attack at Abbey Gate during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. We owe an immense debt of gratitude to these heroes and their families. Their legacy will be an enduring testament to their commitment and sacrifice for our country.

I honored Knoebels Amusement Resort, a legendary, family-based institution in Elysburg. What began as a simple gathering place along Roaring Creek in 1926 has become a top amusement park in Pennsylvania and the Northeast. Knoebels recently earned two prestigious Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today for “Best Food” and “Best Wooden Coaster” for the highly recommended Phoenix. Congratulations to Dick Knoebel and the entire Knoebels family on this well-deserved achievement; our region appreciates your unwavering dedication to Pennsylvania.

On Thursday night, I was happy to attend a great event supporting my friend Brenda Pugh, who is running for State Representative in the 120th district in Luzerne County. Republicans must take back the state house this November. Brenda will be a great Representative.

On Friday night, many strong supporters attended an event for our campaign at the Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club in Luzerne County. Thank you to all who attended and for your support.

On Saturday, I was in beautiful Susquehanna County for a great party for my friend John Kropa. As I stated when asked to deliver the opening prayer - Johnny Kropa has done more good for our community in his 75 years than most people could do in 750 years. The best chairwoman, Donna Cosmello, was also at the party.
