Weekly Update - 7.9.23

Good evening and welcome to our Weekend Update.

First of all, I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July celebrating the birth of our nation. 

This week, we attended some great events. First, I attended Lebanon County District Attorney Pier Hess Graf’s golf tournament at the beautiful Iron Valley Golf Course. I visited with State Senator Chris Gebhard, State Rep John Schlegel, Commissioner Mike Kuhn, my good friend Jonathan Byler, and many of Lebanon‘s finest law enforcement. Additionally, I had some great golf partners, Lebanon County Sheriff Jeff Marley and Lebanon County District Attorney's Office Chief Detective John Hess. It was a great well-attended event.

After that event, Senator Gebhard and I headed to a new Lebanon business, ASH Cigar. Great place, and I highly recommend it.

Today, we attended the annual Rally at the Rock, hosted by our great friend Bradford County Commissioner Doug McLinko. This is a must-attend event every year. (Pictured below with State Treasurer Stacy Garrity)

This year, we had a special guest call-in, President Donald Trump. He jumped at the opportunity to call my cell phone and speak with the great GOP faithful in Bradford County. He is as ready as ever to Make America Great Again.

Happy Independence Day, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

As we celebrate July 4th, I believe it is important to reflect on the true meaning and significance of the holiday.

President Ronald Reagan, perhaps America’s best orator, once said, “May all of you as Americans never forget your heroic origins, never fail to seek Divine guidance, and never lose your natural God-given optimism.”

Our Founders launched a revolution in the pursuit of justice, equality, liberty, and prosperity. No nation has done more to advance the human condition than the United States of America. No nation has done more to promote human progress than the American citizens.

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

First, I’m continuing to monitor the situation in Russia concerning the uprising and military threat to Vladimir Putin’s tyrannical regime. Former Russian soldiers, mercenaries, and military groups were mounting a potential coup and advancing on Moscow. It is now being reported that a settlement has been negotiated, and the advance on Moscow has ceased. I will continue to monitor the situation as it develops.

I began this week in New Jersey with President Donald J. Trump, where he greeted a group of strong supporters.

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

I want to begin by wishing everyone a Happy Father’s Day, especially my dad, Stan Meuser. During my career, I have been fortunate to serve in various roles in the private and public sectors, but my best role ever is... father. Shelley and I have three amazing children, Caroline, Jacqueline, and Danny, and I am so proud of them. Again, to all those great dads out there, have a great day!

Much of the news focused on the politically motivated indictment of President Donald Trump. Not nearly as widely discussed was news detailing the corruption of Joe Biden. Biden kept classified documents from his time as Senator & VP, and Hillary destroyed thousands of emails, many containing classified material, yet they went uncharged. Now, Biden has weaponized the DOJ against his leading political rival. The double standard is apparent. I appeared on Newsmax TV’s “Wake Up America” to discuss the situation.

Weekly Update - 6.11.23

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

Before we begin, I want to address the continued targeting of former President Donald Trump by the Biden administration and the Justice Department. From the very onset of his presidential campaign, the Justice Department has unfairly targeted Donald Trump. And time and time again, we have seen allegations amount to nothing more than nonsense claims proven to be false – beginning with the Russian Collusion Hoax, which a special counsel has now concluded was politically motivated.

The double standard the justice system has applied to President Trump is evident, and rogue prosecutors like Alvin Bragg and others continue coming after him to get their own names in the paper. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades, and the enormous evidence of foreign payoffs is mounting – yet he goes uncharged. Why? Because Joe Biden has a “D” next to his name and Donald Trump has an “R.” This is the United States – not a third-world country. We cannot use the power of the federal government to arrest political opponents, which is what Biden has done in seemingly weaponizing the DOJ against his leading competitor for the presidency. It is a sad day in America, and we cannot allow tyranny like this to reign. I stand with President Trump against the blatant abuse of power. Such an injustice should never be perpetrated in the United States.

Weekly Update - 6.4.23

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

This week, the major issue this week was the passage of the debt ceiling bill. While the bill was not perfect, there are at least ten to eleven provisions that incrementally improve the status quo and create a higher level of fiscal responsibility.

Some highlights include:

  • Reductions in non-defense discretionary spending.
  • Work requirements on the SNAP Program.
  • $29 billion COVID clawback.
  • Energy infrastructure regulation improvements, which will be very meaningful for Pennsylvania’s energy industry.
  • Reins in the Biden Administration’s Executive Order spending actions, which accounted for $1 trillion in spending over the last two years.
  • Reduction of earlier funding for the IRS by $20 billion.
  • Protects Social Security and funding for veterans and rejects tax increases.

Weekly Update - 5.29.23

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update. This weekend, we honor our nation's history. 

As we pause to remember the brave men and women who died valiantly for our nation’s freedom, I am reminded of a quote from President John F. Kennedy, “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”

Although I am missing Memorial Day events in the district, I am visiting and honoring our overseas military personnel and those we honor this weekend who gave their lives to defeat Fascism and liberate Europe in World War II. Yesterday, I met with the European and African naval command, and attended an annual Memorial Day ceremony at the Sicily/Rome American cemetery, where over 7,800 Americans made the ultimate sacrifice liberating Italy from Hitler... and saving the world from tyranny. As the Ambassador stated in his speech, these brave soldiers landed in Sicily and “fought every inch of the way" to Rome. The military service men and women appreciated our attendance, and I met a young sailor stationed here from Somerset, Derrick Lyons (pictured below with Shelley and me) 

Additionally, a local college choir sang beautifully a song literally thanking the U.S. and emphasizing how they would never forget the sacrifices of Americans. It was an incredibly touching tribute. As General George Marshall said, “After victory the only land requested was enough to bury our dead." God bless our troops; God bless America. Time will not dim the glory of their deeds.

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

Tuesday was Primary Election Day! First, we congratulate our GOP statewide judicial ticket, including Supreme Court nominee Judge Carolyn Carluccio, Superior Court nominees Judge Harry Smail and Maria Battista, and Commonwealth Court nominee Megan Martin. I also congratulate the many local GOP candidates on their successful campaigns. Wins in November 2023 will translate to wins in November 2024.

Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend Update.

First, I wish a Happy Mother's Day to the best moms I know… my mom, Maeve, and my wife, Shelley. I also want to extend a Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. As one of our greatest presidents, Ronald Reagan, once said, “The heart of a mother is a heart that is always full. Generation after generation has measured love by the work and wonder of motherhood. For these gifts, ever ancient and ever new, we cannot pause too often to give thanks to mothers.” (Pictured below with Shelley and my mom)

This week, we were in Washington, D.C., as the nation faces crisis after crisis resulting from Biden's broken policies.

Whether it’s Biden’s immigration crisis, his unwillingness to negotiate on the debt ceiling or his family’s shady business dealings, this President is failing the American people. We deserve better. I joined “Mornings with Maria” on Fox Business to discuss these important issues. Click here or below to watch my interview.

Weekly Update - 5.7.23

Good evening and welcome to our Weekend Update.

We kicked off this week celebrating National Small Business Week. America’s small businesses are the backbone of our country’s economy. In fact, 99% of all businesses in the nation are small businesses and employ more than 61 million Americans. In the 9th District, 70% of our friends and neighbors are employed by small businesses. I encourage you to support your communities and shop locally. 

As someone who spent a career in the private sector helping to grow a small business into a larger one, I’ll continue fighting for pro-growth policies to help our U.S. businesses thrive. Click here or below to watch my message regarding the importance of National Small Business Week. 

This week, I joined Newsmax TV to discuss an issue of potential conflict and political bias related to the SEC's actions (or non-actions). The investors in Truth Social are asking for equal treatment under the law, and I am fighting for just that. Click here or below to watch my interview.
