Mr. Speaker, thank you for taking the time.

Thanks for being here. Appreciate it.

So there are 237 days till the midterms, but who's counting.

Typically, in an off year after a presidential election, especially if you win really big like we did last time, you face daunting odds.

Right.

The poll numbers seem to be getting worse. There seems to be a chasm between

political reality on the economy, on foreign policy, and everything in between, and perception.

Major chasm, widening chasm. How do we fix that in 237 days?

With a big dose of reality and with a clear message, and we're working on both of those things. The first ingredient is to have great candidates, and we recruited extraordinary people to go flip blue seeds to red this cycle. And of course, our incumbents and all those who have been part of the big successes of the last year and a half almost as we go into the election cycle are going to be out talking about

their record of success. It truly has promises made and promises kept. I've made the case that

the first year of the Trump administration was arguably the most productive and successful in

at least the modern era. I think one of the top five in the history of Congress, and I'm a student

of all this, because

of all the substance and the big things that we passed and got it signed into law.

Now, there is an incredible media bias, as you know.

And the mainstream media, the legacy media, every day, literally repeats almost verbatim the

talking points of Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, as crazy as they are, and they try to

censor and silence our viewpoint in various ways, as you know. And so we've got to break through

that and get the reality to the people. So it will be a lot of direct candidate to constituent

discussion. They're going to be doing the candidate forums and the town halls and all that to go out

and share our message. We gathered here at this work

session, this conference over the last couple of days was to talk about how to do that effectively.
