Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. On Friday, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the White House. Rather than work toward peace, Zelenskyy's words and actions indicate he is not interested in ending this conflict. Is there something wrong with seeking peace—especially when the U.S. can broker it in a way that serves Ukrainian interests? Instead of asking the American people to fork over another $150-200 billion for trench warfare, with thousands more lives lost, only to be in the same place a year from now, we should be pushing for an end to the killing and destruction. Zelenskyy seems more interested in being a war hero than a peacemaker. Putin is a bad actor—he will get what’s coming to him—but the priority should be ending this war. No president has been tougher on Russia than President Trump. He stopped the Nord Stream Pipeline, imposed strong sanctions, and projected real strength on the world stage. This war would never have started if Biden hadn’t created a vacuum of leadership and displayed such obvious weakness. That’s exactly what emboldens real bullies. Strength stops them—weakness invites them. Click here or below to watch President Trump's press briefing yesterday evening.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. I must begin today by expressing my prayers with the healthcare workers and law enforcement at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York. On behalf of Shelley and I, we want to express our most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of West York Borough Police Officer Andrew Duarte. His loss weighs heavy on all Pennsylvanians.

Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. President Donald J. Trump is taking action to protect the American steel industry by closing loopholes that allow other countries to bypass U.S. tariffs through Mexico and Canada. This move will strengthen domestic production and encourage critical investment in U.S. Steel. President Trump and DOGE are also making real progress in draining the swamp—exposing waste, abuse, and fraud in government. The American people deserve accountability, and we’re committed to delivering results. I joined the “National Report” on Newsmax to discuss further. Click here or below to watch. On Friday, I joined “Varney & Co.” on Fox Business to discuss President Trump’s plan to make America energy dominant again, DOGE’s efforts to make the government more efficient, and our work in Congress to advance a pro-growth, pro-security budget. We also covered Governor Shapiro’s lawsuit, which is nothing more than a political stunt. If the governor actually wanted to fix the problem, he’d work with the Trump Administration to ensure funds are spent properly—instead, he’s running to the courts to get headlines.

Good afternoon, welcome to our Weekend Update, and GO BIRDS! On Friday, President Donald J. Trump delivered major news for Pennsylvania. He announced that he helped make the Nippon-U.S. Steel deal better for America, for Pennsylvania, and American steel. This deal directly results from President Trump's problem-solving, business-minded leadership. While it’s still conditional, we fully support and appreciate his critical review which will help ensure U.S. Steel remains strong. We’re making U.S. Steel Great Again for Pennsylvania. We’re Making American-Made Steel Great Again for our country!

Good morning, happy Groundhog’s Day, and welcome to our Weekend Update. For those who didn't watch, Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter. First, I want to send my heartfelt prayers to the families of the victims of the tragic plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia that occurred on Friday evening. A medical plane crashed shortly after takeoff from the Northeast Philadelphia airfield. I want to thank the brave first responders working to take care of the victims and clean up the large crash site. We will learn more about why this accident occurred in the coming days. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and all the residents of Northeast Philly.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. This week, I officially signed my Oath of Office after being sworn into my fourth term in Congress. I am grateful for the trust the people of Pennsylvania’s Ninth District have placed in me as I continue serving as their representative in Washington. Over the next two years, I will work with President Trump and our unified Republican Congress to advance commonsense solutions that put America First and benefit all Pennsylvanians.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Happy New Year, and I pray that you and your family had a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and a joyous holiday season. First, I want to address the horrific attacks that took place in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of these senseless attacks.  The vacuum of leadership from the Biden Administration has led to instability around the world. From threats coming over the border to the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan, which allowed the Taliban to seize control, to ongoing threats from Hamas and Hezbollah, this Administration’s weakness has created an environment, incubators, where terrorism thrives and where individuals—both abroad and domestically—become radicalized. The last four years, President Biden and Democrats have focused on DEI instead of IEDs. We need real leadership back in the White House, and on January 20th, the American people will get that with Donald Trump. His team will lead the DOJ, FBI, Homeland Security, and CIA — putting the handcuffs on the bad guys and not on law enforcement, allowing them to do their jobs effectively. I joined "Mornings with Maria" on Fox Business to discuss further. Click here or below to watch.

We are all ready and excited to Make America Great Again as we work to enact an America First agenda.  

Weekly Update - 12.15.24

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Yesterday, my son, Danny, and I joined President-elect Donald J. Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, Elon Musk, Speaker Mike Johnson, our next White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, our Commonwealth's next U.S. Senator Dave McCormick, and many other great patriots at the 125th Army-Navy Football Game — an enduring tradition that embodies the bravery, camaraderie, and unwavering dedication of our nation's military. It was quite a day and game. Watching my son discuss energy production and clean energy ideas with Elon Musk was surreal. My son, Danny, is a geology and environmental science major at Bucknell. He is graduating and heading to the Navy. Our new US Senator, Dave McCormick, led the effort to get this great group together. Dave will bring many positive, exciting opportunities to Pennsylvania. President Trump is always generous, hospitable, and personable, and he likes keeping positive energy in the room. Many well-known cabinet members were in attendance. Daniel Penny was also there. Daniel served as a Marine. He and my son spoke at length. I was so impressed by Danny Penny. Incredibly humble, polite, demure. He knows his actions to protect his fellow citizens were necessary. Nevertheless, Danny is so humble, with no pretense, and even somewhat embarrassed by his notoriety.  Anyway, I thought it important to share that so you can understand how nice a young man he is.   Thank you for the opportunity to serve. I won’t kid you; it’s a lot of work every day. But there are also some great opportunities, such as attending the Army-Navy game with the President, US Senator, and my son, that I do not take for granted and very much thoughtfully appreciate.
