The Week in Review


Happy Friday!


The House was in session this week, and once again the Democrats focused on minor issues, like increasing taxpayer-funded leave for federal employees, while sidelining important matters that are plaguing our country. Our economy is still struggling to recover thanks to the failed economic policies of President Biden and the Democrat party. In fact, despite consecutive dismal job reports, Biden has been more focused on tearing up the Second Amendment and pursuing his woke agenda than strengthening America’s economy and national security. One major highlight of the week: President Trump’s announced trip to the southern border became the final piece of guilt that influenced Vice President Harris to visit the border, after operating in her role as “Border Czar” for nearly 100 days. Keep reading below to see several important happenings from this week.

 

2nd Amendment Interview with Breitbart

On Monday, I joined Breitbart reporter AWR Hawkins at a shooting range in my district to fire a few rounds and discuss the Left’s push for gun control. Our Second Amendment rights are more important than ever and I will always fight to protect them. Despite Biden’s clear agenda to destroy the right to bear arms, we will never back down.

Podcast with Jason Chaffetz

Former GOP Congressman and Fox News host, Jason Chaffetz, invited me on his podcast to discuss how my upbringing, experience attending Brigham Young University, and career practicing law led me to the United States Congress. It was a pleasure speaking with such a great conservative and I’m honored to call him my friend. Click on the picture below to listen:



Judiciary Committee Markup Regarding Big Tech

On Wednesday and Thursday, the Judiciary Committee met for over twenty hours to markup six antitrust bills pertaining to Big Tech. While I could not support all of the bills that were considered, I look forward to working with my colleagues to address these issues.  Big Tech companies have reached a monopolistic position where they are crushing competitors and preventing entrepreneurs from entering the field. They are using their power to stifle political viewpoints, mainly conservative voices. It is long past due for the playing field to be leveled and for these companies to be reined in.

Letter to House Minority Leader McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader McConnell Opposing Taxpayer Funded Abortion

As a strong pro-life advocate, I will never waver in my defense of life and the unborn. The American taxpayer should never be responsible for the cost of an abortion. The Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funds from being used to pay for abortions, is a well-established standard that has always been included in appropriations bills. I sent a letter to Leader McConnell and Leader McCarthy urging them to oppose President Biden’s budget, which excluded the Hyde Amendment, and reject any appropriations bills that do not include provisions to protect life.

Censuring President Biden

President Biden and Vice President Harris have sent an unequivocal message that they prefer illegal immigrants over Americans. Their radical agenda has erased our southern border and destabilized the security of the American people. That's why I stand behind Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s censure of President Biden.
