Video Statement As Delivered:

Hey friends, what a difference just a few weeks can make when you have the right leadership in place. 

The contrast between President Biden and the Democrats and President Trump and unified Republican leadership could not be starker or more clear.  

Under the previous administration and Democrat leadership, chaos, incompetence, and radical leftist ideology permeated every level of the people's government.

Our borders were wide open. 

Our streets were overrun with crime, and our families couldn't even feel safe in their own communities. 

Out-of-control spending ignited an unprecedented cost of living crisis - the effects of which are still hurting hardworking families today.

Our Commander-in-Chief in the last administration was weak.

The Pentagon in the last administration was woke.

And, worst of all, our allies and adversaries around the world lost respect for the United States of America.

Now, not even 50 days into President Trump's second term, America is BACK!

Illegal border crossings in President Trump's first full month in office were the lowest in recorded history - down 94% from last February.

Investment in America is on the rise, with companies like Honda, the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, and many others deciding to make their products in the United States of America instead of overseas. 

We have two genders, one language, and none of the “Green New Disaster.”

We are reining in reckless spending, we're rooting out waste and fraud, and putting an end to the era of woke and weaponized government.

We are supporting our troops, strengthening our military, and restoring peace through strength.  

AND House Republicans have taken the first step in delivering on President Trump's FULL America First agenda by passing the House budget resolution, which contains the policies that will make America safe and prosperous again. 

There's a lot to be proud of so far, but this is just the beginning. 

The four years of failed policies and self-inflicted crises unleashed by the Biden administration and Democrat leadership over the last several years have left our nation weaker and more vulnerable than ever before. 

President Trump and Republicans are laser focused on reversing course on those self-inflicted disasters and returning to competent leadership, common sense policies, and a commitment to putting America first.

God bless, Go West Texas, and let's Make America Great Again.
