Our service members at Fort Bragg

This weekend I visited Fort Bragg, the largest U.S. military installation in terms of personnel. The base is home to a wide array of military commands, special operations forces, and other units. These include the "All-American" 82nd Airborne Division, whose members served in the D-Day invasion at Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, and other historic military campaigns before, during, and after World War II. Thank you to the garrison commander, Col. Kyle Reed, who is pictured below, for leading my tour of the base.  

My visit reminded me once again of the tremendous debt of gratitude every American owes to the members of our armed forces, who sacrifice every day to keep our nation safe and secure. 

My Fox News interview from the World Ag Expo

I recently sat for an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo at the World Ag Expo in Tulare. Click on the picture below to watch the interview: 

Additionally, yesterday Sean Hannity and I discussed the latest news about surveillance abuses at the FBI and Department of Justice. You can watch that interview below:

ABC30 FAKE and LIBERAL "Action News"

I spent the day yesterday in Fresno, where I toured the Producers Dairy Food plant and had several other meetings and events. I'd especially like to thank the Fresno Chamber of Commerce for hosting a roundtable discussion. You can see some slides of my visit by clicking on the picture below: 

Unfortunately, the ABC 30 news network once again sent a reporter to ask me about wild accusations and Russian conspiracy theories that precisely mimicked the talking points of numerous left-wing organizations. Click on the link below to watch an exchange ABC 30 included in its report:

Continuing a remarkable string of similar coincidences, the reporter's appearance was quickly followed by the appearance of about half a dozen liberal protestors, as if they'd been encouraged to show up to provide the right backdrop for ABC 30's reporting.  

I believe Central Valley residents deserve unbiased, straight-forward reporting from local news networks, not political spin coordinated with left-wing groups. ABC 30 should be reporting news stories, not staging them.

In case you missed it: Fox News interview with Speaker Paul Ryan

This week Republicans published our tax reform blueprint. The plan aims to cut taxes for the middle class, drastically simplify the tax code, kickstart economic growth, and eliminate loopholes, special deals, and special-interest carve-outs. House members, myself included, have been working out many of these reforms for years—the tax code is way too complex, unfair, and punitive for working people and small businesses, and it's been one of my major priorities in Congress to transform the tax code into a tool for driving economic growth instead of blocking it. 

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan described the plan on the Hannity show on Fox News. You can watch the discussion by clicking on the picture below.

Ryan discussed other issues in the second part of the interview below.
