Honoring our veterans.
What makes our country exceptional is our people and their passion for freedom. Perhaps no other group exemplifies this passion more than our veterans.
These Americans defended the nation with distinction and courage, despite the risks and sacrifices required of them. On Veterans Day, let us honor those who safeguarded our freedoms and the values we hold dear 🇺🇸
We need a comprehensive China strategy.
China aspires to become the world’s superpower and the CCP is making extraordinary strategic moves to achieve that. The United States needs to be proactive relative to China—and that starts with developing a comprehensive strategy to push back against the CCP’s nefarious ambitions.
The interest on our national debt is holding us back.
We will pay $1 trillion in interest alone on our national debt this year. Think about that—$1 trillion! We could quadruple our military procurement with that amount of money. Our interest burden is only going to get worse, which will hinder us from continuing to lead the world.
To secure the rights we hold dear, we must out-compete our adversaries.
Authoritarians continue to take advantage of advanced technologies like AI—further exacerbating their global influence and increasing threats to freedom. To secure the rights we hold dear, free nations must out-innovate and out-compete our adversaries. Competing with superiority in technological advancement is what America has always done to hold aloft the flame of freedom.
Steward Health Care's mismanagement in Utah was reprehensible.
While operating in Utah from 2017 to 2023, Steward Health Care understaffed facilities, withheld payment for equipment, failed to meet operational standards, and—most importantly—endangered the lives of patients. Five hospitals in Utah suffered from their mismanagement. These events were reprehensible and should have never happened.
May we never forget 9/11.
Each September 11, we remember that tragic day in 2001 when terrorists attacked our country and the values we hold dear. Today, we honor all of those who lost their lives and the heroism exhibited by our first responders. We also reflect on the extraordinary display of unity and patriotism that followed that tragic day. May we never forget 9/11.
Let's go, Team USA!
As we watch the Olympic and Paralympic Games unfold in Paris, we will witness the greatest qualities of the human spirit on full display by those representing Team USA. To all our athletes—especially those with Utah ties—best of luck! We are cheering you on.
