Dear Friends,

 

This week the world witnessed our nation devolve into chaos. Regardless of political affiliation, any citizen who appreciates the pillars of a freedom that is equal and a justice that is blind will remember this week with a sense of deep regret and sorrow. Yet, from his words Tuesday night following his arrest to his unwavering love for our nation, President Donald J. Trump will not let this week mark the end of the great American story. That is why on this special day where many in our nation celebrate the revival, I want to share a story and message of hope.

 

While living in Egypt from 2009-2011, I befriended a taxicab driver. On weekends, we would explore Cairo, providing an opportunity to see a struggling nation through a different lens.

 

On one occasion, I asked Abdo what needed to change in Egypt for the country to be prosperous again. Without missing a beat, he responded, “Egypt needs to burn to the ground and then rise like a phoenix from the ashes.” 

 

At the time, it seemed like a dramatic response, which was largely lost on me. That was until my State Department evacuation flight was circling Cairo, as the city was quite literally burning to the ground. The Arab Spring was sweeping through North Africa and Egypt was falling at the hands of a citizens-led revolution.

 

In America, the answer to the question of, “How do we make America great again?,” is not that it needs to burn to the ground—and shame on the radical left who regularly resort to violence in pursuit of their political goals. 

 

America, however, does need a revival. We need to recognize the historic and consequential moment that we find ourselves in—both as a society and a nation. If we do not step up in this moment, we are truly risking everything. The very pillars of freedom and justice are being burned to the ground through a partisan political majority who is willing to sacrifice everything in pursuit of the radical remaking of our nation.

 

There is only one person who can rise to this moment, who can lead our nation out of this darkness, and who will truly Make America Great Again. I hope you join us in doing everything you can in this moment. The fight to save America is underway.

Week in Review:

  • Voters are rallying around President Trump. President Trump has a massive lead over the Republican primary field and his campaign announced that they raised $12 million in the week following the announcement of President Trump's indictment. The energy behind President Trump is obvious when looking at the ratings of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago address Tuesday night.
  • Between Fox News, CNN, Newsmax, and NewsNation -- a whopping 9.6 million Americans tuned into President Trump's speech. That's more viewers than there for the Emmy Awards and the season finale of "Last of Us."
  • President Trump will be back on primetime TV this upcoming week with an interview with Tucker Carlson airing on Fox News on Tuesday.
  • Many say that "if they can go after President Trump, then they can go after you." This indictment of President Trump is already a direct attack on American citizens. It's an effort to destroy our democracy. Fortunately, it appears to be backfiring on Alvin Bragg.

 

Each new poll delivers good news for President Trump:

  • President Trump is the first choice of Republican voters in New Hampshire and Iowa.
    • WMUR: "A New Hampshire poll shows that former President Donald Trump is holding a dominant lead in the race for the Republican presidential nomination among Granite State voters. The Republican primary in New Hampshire is shaping up as a two-person race between Trump, with 42% support, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, with 29% support."
    • Florida Politics: "A new Hawkeye State poll shows Ron DeSantis with considerable ground to make up against Donald Trump. In a survey of 608 likely Iowa caucus participants from J.L. Partners, the former President commands 41% support, 15 points ahead of the Florida Governor."
  • President Trump is at over 50 percent support in several national primary polls.
    • The RealClearPolitics polling average shows President Trump at 52 percent, Ron DeSantis at 24.9 percent, Mike Pence at 4.9 percent, Nikki Haley at 3.9 percent, Liz Cheney at 3.4 percent, Noem at 1.5 percent, Christie at 1.2 percent, Pompeo at 1.1 percent, Ramaswamy at 0.9 percent, Tim Scott at 0.8 percent, Sununu at 0.6 percent, and Youngkin at 0.5 percent. 
    • Reuters/Ipsos: Trump 58 percent, DeSantis 21 percent, Pence 4 percent, Cheney 3 percent, Haley 1 percent, Youngkin 1 percent, Pompeo 1 percent, Ramaswamy 1 percent
    • Yahoo News: Trump 52 percent, DeSantis 21 percent, Haley 5 percent, Pence 3 percent, Christie 2 percent, Pompeo 2 percent, Ramaswamy 1 percent.  
  • A minority of Americans want Biden to be president again.
    • CNN: "Just a third of Americans say President Joe Biden deserves to be reelected, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS, as a majority in his party say they would like to see someone else as the Democratic nominee for president next year."

 

Scathing criticism of Bragg’s political persecution—and the danger it poses to our nation—continues to mount:

  • “Yeah, I don’t think it has any merit,” former Attorney General Bill Barr stated on ABC’s “This Week.” “I think it is transparently an abuse of prosecutorial power to accomplish a political end…There’s a host of other problems having to do with the statute of limitations, his failure to specify exactly what the other crime was that was being committed that makes this into a felony. So, I found what’s been put out very opaque. I think if he has a good case, he would specify exactly what his case is.”
  • “My concern is that you’re opening a form of Pandora’s Box,” former Senator Scott Brown told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday. “This has never happened in our country’s history – to take something that is a state issue and morph it after the statute of limitations passes into a federal issue. What happens if a red state DA all of a sudden wants to take on one of yours? Is that where we’re going now? It’s going to discourage people from running.”
  • “He’s very mindful of the historic nature of prosecutors flipping our criminal justice system upside down,” Jim Trusty, a member of President Trump’s legal team, told Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week.” “Alvin Bragg ran for office saying he’s the best guy to take out Donald Trump…It is an absurd situation that multiple prosecutors passed by this rancid ham sandwich of an indictment and Alvin Bragg suddenly decides to do it, perhaps with the help of a senior advisor who parachuted in from DOJ to help him on this thing…This is a different criminal justice system if we go down this road.” 

 

While Democrats try to knock President Trump out of the race, Americans are facing multiple crises on multiple fronts:

  • Under Joe Biden, inflation has outstripped wage growth for 22 months.
  • Border agents are preparing for a surge in illegal crossings in the next weeks, as one of their last tools to turn illegal immigrants away—Title 42—is set to expire next month.
  • Thanks to Biden, China is systematically undermining U.S. interests around the globe:
    • After a six-hour meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that Europe must not get “caught up in crises that are not ours,” referring to growing Chinese global aggression. He also stated that Europe must break away from the “extraterritoriality of the U.S. dollar.”
    • In the Middle East, China is brokering deals between Saudi Arabia and Iran and the Saudis have indicated that they could conduct their oil sales in the Chinese yuan, instead of the U.S. dollar.
    • The Biden Family is compromised by China and, as a result, America’s power on the world stage—and our ability to achieve peace through strength—is being undermined daily by Beijing and the Chinese Communist Party.
  • President Trump’s record on creating wealth for America’s forgotten men and women, securing the border, and taking on China is unassailable. Donald Trump doesn’t need on-the-job training—he is the only candidate with the plan and ability to tackle these issues on his first day back in office.
