John,
Good afternoon and welcome to our Weekend
Update.
This week, I joined “Mornings with Maria”
on Fox Business to discuss the U.S. commitment to Ukraine,
the impact of the ongoing crisis at the border, and North Korea's
missile launch. Click

The truth is that the significant issues
facing our nation continue to rise… and that is primarily due to the
lack of leadership in the United States and the power vacuum
worldwide. From the crisis at the border, assault on the American
energy industry, massive government spending programs, handouts,
overregulation, capitulating, discouraging consequences, and
encouraging an assault on our law enforcement… the results have been
terrible for every American family and business.
We are suffering from a massive energy
crisis, mainly due to the actions of the Biden administration. This
week, OPEC announced it was cutting oil production by 2 million
barrels a day. Honestly, only the Biden administration and Biden
Democrats didn’t see this coming. Worse, the Biden administration’s
reaction was to empty the Federal oil reserve further. This is not
only foolish, as it barely moves the needle with high gas prices but
also creates the potential for a national security crisis. The correct
reaction would have been to roll back his anti-energy policy agenda
immediately. Instead, we need to start producing energy in the United
States again. Remember when President Donald Trump was working to fill
the strategic oil reserve and was criticized by the Democrats for
doing so? It wasn’t that long ago, and we were able to make that
energy investment because our country was energy-independent.
This week, I wrote an op-ed for The
Hill regarding my concerns with the Biden administration and the
direction of the Fed. The Biden Democrats are effectively negating,
running counter to, and fighting against the Fed. This weakens the
effect of higher interest rates and will cause rates to be extra high
to achieve the intended result of lowering inflation. This is a very
dangerous economic plan. We will suffer all the harsh effects of a
prolonged recession without a light at the end of the proverbial
tunnel. Click

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE
MAINSTREAM MEDIA: The September jobs report was released this
week, and it’s the worst of the year. Biden administration’s economic
agenda is a disaster. After all, what else do we expect from an
administration and party that raises taxes during a recession? Whether
it is higher prices, lower wages, or higher taxes, Biden Democrats’
reckless spending and failed policies put hardworking Americans
last.
Background:
- The economy added just 263,000
jobs in September, making this the worst jobs report of the year
and the second-fewest jobs added since the COVID recovery
began.
- Biden turned a recovery into a recession – the U.S. economy has
now shrunk,
meeting the definition of a recession that Democrats and Biden’s
economic advisors have previously
touted.
- Despite this, Biden and Democrats passed their Bidenflation
Scam designed to raise taxes on families during a recession and
hire 87,000 new IRS agents that will go after the middle
class.
- Biden also wants to bail out student debt – a handout to the rich
that will cost
taxpayers billions and worsen
inflation.
- U.S. average gas prices are on the rise, currently sitting at $3.89
per gallon, which is more than $1.50 higher than when Biden became
president
- Inflation remains at 40-year
high levels, with Americans paying higher prices for
everything.
-
61
percent of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the
economy
-
77
percent of voters say the economy is “very important” when
deciding whom to vote for in the 2022 elections
Around the nation, people are confronted
with the results of Biden and the Biden Democrats' failed leadership.
They see just how bad things are and overwhelmingly blame Biden and
the Biden Democrats for his poor handling of the economy.
Around the District:
On Tuesday night, U.S. Senate candidate
Dr. Oz joined us for an event at the home of Scott Sechler, where we
packed the house with supporters and heard Dr. Oz lay out his plan for
when he’s elected to the U.S. Senate. We must get out the vote and
support Dr. Oz.
On Thursday, I joined my good friends,
Dave and Dina McCormick, NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer, and our
congressional candidates, Jim Bognet and Guy Ciarrocchi. We rallied
support for these great candidates.
Last night, I had the opportunity to be
the keynote speaker at the Lycoming County GOP Fall Dinner. We were
joined by many great people who all understand the importance of the
upcoming election. A special thanks to chairman Don Peters for the
invitation to the dinner.
Election Day is only 29 days away.
There is much at stake. The economy, the border, national security...
everything Biden and his Democrat backers have touched, they have made
worse for America.
There is only one solution. First, we
must win back U.S. Congress and retire Speaker Nancy Pelosi once and
for all. Next, we must elect Dr. Oz to the U.S. Senate and Doug
Mastriano to the Governor's office. Finally, re-electing strong
Republican majorities in Harrisburg is critical. Electing Republicans
is our path to restoring an agenda that puts both America and
Pennsylvania First. So please tell your family, friends, and neighbors
to get out and vote. We need a RED WAVE on Tuesday, November 8,
2022.
Thank you, and keep up the faith and the fight,
Dan
