Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. On Friday, I joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business to discuss the fight to pass the SAVE America Act and the status of government funding. The public overwhelmingly supports this legislation, and it is vital for ensuring free and fair elections. We also discussed Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh’s economic priorities, including his hawkish outlook on inflation, boosting productivity, and creating long-term economic stability through a tightened balance sheet and sensible Fed reforms. I remain optimistic that we can advance these priorities through supply side growth paired with lower interest rates. Click here or below to watch.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Last night we got the tragic news that U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham had passed. He was tough, hard-working, and dedicated. He was a man who was never afraid to fight for what was right. I had the privilege of knowing him both professionally and personally, through meetings and briefings over the years. Not long ago, I had lunch with him, and he gave me a hat that read, “Make Iran Great Again.” He wanted to see the Iranian people freed from the terrorist regime that oppresses them, so they could finally live lives of opportunity and freedom, not fear. Senator Graham was a force in Washington, and he will be truly missed. Shelley and I are keeping his family, loved ones, and the people of South Carolina, whom he served for so long, in our thoughts and prayers.

Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. This week, I questioned experts from the CIA, U.S. Treasury, and others during my Financial Services Committee Republican Subcommittee hearing on Chinese money laundering networks that are financing drug traffickers like the Sinaloa Cartel. These networks are laundering billions of dirty cartel dollars to fuel the fentanyl crisis. This is a highly sophisticated operation that is killing American citizens. President Trump has taken bold action to address the fentanyl crisis, reducing cross-border fentanyl trafficking by 56% in just the first few months of his administration by closing our southern border and designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. Watch my interview on Newsmax where I break down our hearing, the impact of the Iranian regime’s reign of terror, and more. Click here or below to watch.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. It was great to join President Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office this week as he announced a $700 million investment for coal plants across the country and a new export terminal in California. Coal is critical to Pennsylvania’s economy, supporting 11,500 good-paying jobs across the Commonwealth. This is a major step in asserting America’s energy independence and managing energy prices for ratepayers. America needs clean, beautiful coal.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. First, as we celebrate the Memorial Day weekend, I urge everyone to take time to honor the American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation and the freedoms we enjoy in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I want to share a powerful quote from one of our greatest leaders, President Ronald Reagan: “I don't have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is. Every time we hear, watch, or read the news, we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world.” On Saturday,  I joined members of the Lycoming County community to begin ceremonies in observance of Memorial Day weekend. I was deeply moved by how many joined us, despite the poor weather, to honor those who gave their lives in defense of our country. It was so inspiring to be in the company of so many local heroes. We had heroes dating back to the Korean War in attendance.  Thank you to State Reps. Hamm and Flick, Mayor Slaughter, and Commissioner Metzger, for being here to commemorate our fallen heroes.
