John --
Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.
Before I jump into recounting another jampacked week, I first want
to address the presidential debate last night.
President Donald J. Trump delivered an optimistic message for the
future of our nation. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, the America First
Agenda led our nation to a prosperous economy, the lowest unemployment
rate in a generation, securing our borders, making our nation energy
independent, draining the swamp and fostered peace through diplomacy.
When the pandemic hit our nation, the President worked to keep our
Americans safe from the virus, support small businesses and first
responders… That work has paid off and our economy is rebounding.
The President is Making America Great Again…
Again.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden recited extreme left-wing talking points
advocating for extreme left-wing policies. He voiced his steadfast
support for a big-government socialized healthcare plan that will cost
$750 billion, amnesty for illegal immigrants, open borders, the $100
trillion Green New Deal and a $4 trillion tax increase.
One of the most remarkable moments of the evening was when Joe
Biden said he wants to terminate the oil industry. The ripple down
impact of this extreme liberal policy agenda will negatively affect
every American family. End the Auto Industry. Kill the Airline
Industry. Kill Jobs. If you that President Obama was bad, wait for
Uncle Joe. Even though, Biden said he didn't want to ban fracking, see
the below
video where he is caught saying it several times.

Pennsylvania.
After the debate, a CNN anchor said of Joe Biden’s performance that
he did “fine.” Folks, if CNN said that Joe Biden did “fine” then this
debate was a trainwreck for the Vice President.
President Trump challenged the Biden family’s business dealings
with foreign nations, including Iraq, Ukraine, Russia and China. Biden
deflected, but here is the truth... Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden got a
job with Burisma that he was not qualified for and was paid a lot of
money because of the position his father held. It has been reported
that emails captured on a laptop referred to Joe Biden as the “Big
Guy” and referenced his share of payments that were made. Joe Biden
spent 47 years in public office and is now a multi-millionaire. What
is wrong with that picture?
Biden said he didn't take a dime from any foreign government. That
is completely contradictory from the information that has come
forward. The reports on the Biden family's activities warrant an
investigation.
This is one of the biggest problems with Washington, D.C., as
career politicians spend more time working to enrich themselves than
helping the American people.
That is why President Trump has been so refreshing. He cares about
the American people and future generations, evidenced by the fact that
he doesn’t even take his salary. He didn’t run for President to become
wealthy. He ran for President because he loves our country and wants
all Americans to have the opportunity to achieve greatness.
This week, I attended two separate debates. I conducted one on
Tuesday evening at WVIA, click

We participated in another debate hosted by the Schuylkill County
Chamber of Commerce on Thursday. Click
here to watch.
We want to thank WVIA as well as Bob Carl and the Schuylkill County
Chamber of Commerce for giving us the opportunity to discuss the
important issues facing our nation and the
9th Congressional District. There are tremendous
differences between my opponent and me on the issues, but I appreciate
the fact that we were able to have a respectful debate focused on the
issues.
On Monday, I again joined Vice President Mike Pence at a rally in
Cumberland County. I addressed the crowd and stressed the importance
of re-electing President Trump and Vice President Pence as well as
just how critical it is for Republicans to win back control of the
U.S. House and get rid of Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
On Wednesday, I traveled the state Thursday with Republican Whip
Steve Scalise for events with Jim Bognet and my friend and colleague
Congressman Scott Perry. Congressman Scalise has been and continues to
be a tremendous leader for our caucus and on the important issue
facing American families. He understands the importance of supporting
our law enforcement, promoting safe communities, strong borders,
cutting taxes and creating jobs. When we take back control of the U.S.
House, Congressman Scalise will be a major reason why.
IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA:
President Trump continues to deliver for the people of
Pennsylvania:
- President Trump fought to give the people of Pennsylvania the
resources and help they need to combat the coronavirus.
- President Trump’s Paycheck Protection Program provided over $20.7
billion worth of loans to more than 173,000 Pennsylvania businesses
and saved 1.8 million jobs.
- Joe Biden continues to promote the false narrative that President
Trump did not help small businesses recover. That is FALSE. The PPP
program helped small businesses and the average loan was $108k. The
truth is that Joe Biden is against small businesses. Biden, like
Governor Tom Wolf, would shut down small businesses on Main Street
while allowing the big box stores to remain open.
- 6.5 million Pennsylvanians received Economic Impact Payments
totaling nearly $11 billion in relief.
- President Trump’s pro-growth policies, tax cuts, and deregulation
built a stronger economy for Pennsylvania’s workers and businesses,
and he will do it again – over the last five months, Pennsylvania
added back approximately 600,000 jobs following the economy’s
artificial interruptions from the coronavirus.
- Pennsylvania added more than 193,200 new jobs in the first three
years of the Trump Administration, including more than 15,600 new
manufacturing jobs.
- President Trump’s USMCA trade deal will boost Pennsylvania’s
economy and create new jobs in the state, which exports more than $15
billion worth of goods to Canada and Mexico each year – trade with
Canada and Mexico also supports 477,900 Pennsylvania jobs.
And that is why we are witnessing unprecedented enthusiasm for the
President around the Commonwealth. After my debate last night, I spoke
at the Berks County Patriots Meeting. People are so ready to go out
and work for President Trump. The enthusiasm level is off the
charts.
Speaking of enthusiasm, I visited with a number of Trump supporters
on Sunday in Luzerne County. Despite this event coming together on
short notice, there were so many people in attendance. This is just
the latest sign of the excitement we are seeing for President Trump
across the Commonwealth.
We are just days away from a critically important election. Please
encourage your family, friends and neighbors to vote. The Presidential
election is going to be very close in Pennsylvania and President Trump
and our Republican candidates need every vote. If you need to check

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you soon,
Dan
