Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

I joined "Varney & Co." on Fox Business to discuss the Biden Administration on Friday. I raised a critical question: Was Joe Biden himself approving executive actions as required by the Constitution?

If not, then those orders, pardons, and directives are invalid—and the American people deserve answers. Click here or below to watch my interview.

This week, I joined “The Evening Edit” on Fox Business to discuss President Barack Obama’s presidential library albatross and the current state of the Democrat Party. Cost overruns and delays have plagued the construction of Obama’s presidential library. Additionally, it looks atrocious. We also discussed the Democrat Party’s fundraising difficulties due to the woke agenda they continue to promote. Click here or below to watch.

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: American leadership is back under President Trump.

As President Donald J. Trump convenes with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and key European allies at the White House, the world is witnessing the resurgence of American leadership. Through his unrelenting commitment to peace, President Trump is determined to shatter the years-long impasse and pave the way for an end to the bloodshed.

World leaders credit President Trump’s decisive actions for reigniting the dialogue:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “I think that we had an excellent conversation with President Trump… it was excellent. We spoke about very sensitive points.”

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: “I really want to thank you, President of the United States, dear Donald, for the fact that you, as I said before, broke the deadlock basically with President Putin by starting the dialogue … From there, here we are today.”

Finnish President Alexander Stubb: “I think in the past two weeks, we’ve probably had more progress in ending this war than we have in the past three-and-a-half years.”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: “It is an important day — a new phase — after three years that we didn’t see any kind of sign from the Russian side that they were willing for dialogue, so something is changing — something has changed — thanks to you.”

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer: “I think today will be seen as a very important day in recent years in relation to a conflict which has gone on for three-and-a-bit years, and so far, nobody has been able to bring it to this point — so I thank you for that.”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: “This is extremely helpful that we are meeting and hearing that the two of you are having such a good meeting today … The path is open. You opened it last Friday — but now the way is open for complicated negotiations.”

French President Emmanuel Macron: “Thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this meeting and for your commitment… everybody around this table is in favor of peace… this is why the idea of a trilateral meeting is very important because this is the only way to fix it.”

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: “We had a fantastic NATO Summit… We had the largest trade deal ever — agreed. And now, we are here to work together with you on a… lasting peace for Ukraine. Stop the killing. This is really our common interest.”

President Trump’s decisive leadership is delivering results for our nation’s capital. Since the federal law enforcement presence in DC began, crime has dropped significantly.

In just over a week, more than 300 dangerous criminals have been arrested, dozens of illegal firearms have been seized, and violent offenders have been taken off the streets. The strong federal presence has put criminals on notice—they know if they commit a crime, they will be caught and held accountable.

Federal assistance is giving law enforcement the support they need. President Trump promised to clean up our capital city—and he is keeping that promise.

On Wednesday, I attended a great event in Montoursville, hosted by some of Lycoming County’s strongest supporters, to honor my good friend, Senator Dave McCormick. Dave’s leadership and vision for our Commonwealth are helping lay the foundation for Pennsylvania’s future. I was also glad to be joined by our next Governor, Treasurer Stacy Garrity. Together, we are working with our colleagues to deliver results and build a stronger path forward for Pennsylvania.

This week, I endorsed Stacy Garrity to be our next Governor. She is the patriot and fighter Pennsylvania needs. Stacy courageously served our nation in the U.S. Army Reserve and has been a tireless advocate for every Pennsylvanian as our state Treasurer. She is a proven winner, and I am proud to endorse Stacy Garrity as a true America First conservative for Governor.

Our commonwealth desperately needs new leadership. Time and time again, Governor Josh Shapiro has proven that he values politics over getting results for hardworking Pennsylvanians. Governor Shapiro wants a promotion to the Oval Office in 2028, but he hasn’t earned another term in the role he serves. He is far more interested in Pennsylvania Avenue than in hardworking Pennsylvanians. Time is up for career politician Josh Shapiro.

I look forward to working with Stacy on her successful campaign. Click here or below to watch Stacy’s ad launching her campaign.

I hope everyone has had time to watch the Little League World Series. This is a truly great event and a significant economic benefit to Williamsport and the entire Region.

Hard to believe it’s been 50 years since my Little League team took the field. That’s my brother Scott standing tall on the right, and I’m second from the right kneeling in front of him.

While people grow older, baseball never gets old. Little League from 50 years ago looks very similar to today, though watching those boys out there now, the skill levels are pretty darn good. Still, I think my old team would’ve given them a game!

Little League has always been about more than just baseball—it’s about teamwork, friendships, and lessons that last a lifetime. We encourage everyone to come out to Williamsport for an incredible experience—it’s like a “field of dreams” watching these youngsters play.

And a special thanks to my mom for digging up this photo, and for being the team mom pretty much every year. Although not pictured, my Dad was the assistant coach. Special memories return in Williamsport!
