Weekly Update - 12.3.23

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

This week, I joined Newsmax’s “Newsline” to discuss the rising crime issues nationwide. Prosecutors in big cities should hardly be called prosecutors because they allow crime to go unpunished. In our nation’s Capital, 56% of all arrests have gone unprosecuted this year, and it’s emboldening violent criminals. Residents and visitors of Washington, DC and other cities across the country are paying the price for the Left’s ideology of appeasement. Click here or below to watch my interview.

Later this evening, I will be on Fox News at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the attacks on U.S. forces in the Middle East.Tune in by clicking here.

This week, the first part of my interview on"The Volpe Report" aired on Fox56. We covered several hot topics, including the election of Speaker Mike Johnson, passing conservative appropriations bills, rising inflation caused by Bidenomics, and the Biden Family’s pay-to-play scheme.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.         

On Veterans Day weekend, we thank the brave men and women who have served in our nation’s military. Our forefathers, forebearers, and family members have put service above self to defend our freedoms.

They have fought to preserve our republic, to promote righteousness, and to protect our homeland. Let’s honor all of America’s veterans. I spoke on the floor of the U.S. House to thank and honor America’s brave veterans. Click here or below to watch my remarks.

Weekly Update - 11.5.23

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

Speaker Mike Johnson is showing respect for American taxpayers by offering offsets to his proposed aid package for Israel that would provide urgent funding for military equipment and other resources. We need to have pay-fors, accountability, and transparency in aid packages like this, and that’s what the Speaker’s bill provides. Supporting Israel is more important than hiring additional IRS agents to harass American families and small businesses. I joined Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” to discuss the Speaker’s Israel aid bill.

Weekly Update - 10.29.23

Good evening, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

This was an eventful and productive week as the Republican House GOP coalesced around a great new Speaker of the House, Congressman Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson is a great friend, and he will fight for a conservative agenda that will benefit all Americans and move our country forward. He will promote a more inclusive Speaker’s office that puts “Members first,” and therefore, puts the “People first.”

I’m looking forward to working closely with our new Speaker, and as he said, “the People’s House is back in business."

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

I want to begin again by extending my thoughts and prayers to Israel, the victims and families who were senselessly attacked by Hamas and Iran-backed terrorists last week, as well as the brave Israeli soldiers defending their nation's right to exist. 

This week, Members of the House from both sides of the aisle came together on the steps of the Capitol for a vigil in support of Israel and to honor the lives lost in the brutal terror attack. The United States stands in unwavering solidarity with Israel.

Weekly Update - 10.8.23

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

First, I am paying very close attention to the developing situation in Israel. The Hamas attack on Israel was unprovoked and an act of terror. Hamas continues to be a terrorist organization, which evidence shows is being funded and backed by Iran, making Gaza a terrorist state. We must support Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in retaliating and preferably defeating Hamas, as they are a menace to the region. I’ve been to the Israel-Hamas border and understand firsthand the random rocket fire emanating from Gaza on innocent Israeli citizens. This attack on Israel must be met with strong retaliation to destroy Hamas and bring peace to Gaza and the region.

Good evening, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

Contrary to their comments on wanting to keep the government open, Democrats showed the American people yesterday that they were actively working for a shutdown. They pulled out every trick in the book and used several delay tactics on the floor, but one of their members, a former school teacher, even pulled a fire alarm to disrupt Congressional proceedings.

Weekly Update - 9.24.23

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update.

This week, the House Republicans announced a stopgap funding plan that will reduce spending by 11%, excluding defense and veterans programs, and includes some of the strongest border security provisions ever. If we don’t come to a consensus, we are going to surrender control to the Democrats, and the American people will suffer the consequences. Currently, the Republicans have six holdouts, but the Democrats have not one member who will vote with us for a plan that reduces discretionary spending by 11%, holds stable on spending for Defense, Homeland and Veterans, and implements border security measures that will secure the border. Every Democrat voted against such reductions and funding for border security. I joined "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on Fox Business to discuss. Please watch the interview as I explain the importance of passing this legislation. We will be in session this week.
