And the President\u2019s approach to foreign policy has consistently been too little, too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cIt\u2019s time for America to once again project confidence; it\u2019s time to be decisive. It\u2019s time to lead,\u201d Reynolds continued. \u201cBut we cannot project strength abroad if we\u2019re weak at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reynolds also said that for many Americans, the country has become unrecognizable from a year ago and that people are waiting for the \u201cinsanity\u201d to stop:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>We now live in a country where violent crime is out of control, liberal prosecutors are letting criminals off easy, and many prominent Democrats still want to defund the police.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>It seems like everything is backwards. The Biden Administration requires vaccines for Americans who want to go to work or protect this country but not for migrants who illegally cross the border.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>The Department of Justice treats parents like domestic terrorists but looters and shoplifters roam free. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>The American people are left to feel like\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0the enemy. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><em>This is not the same country it was a year ago. The President tried to paint a different picture tonight, but his actions over the last twelve months don\u2019t match the rhetoric. It\u2019s not what he promised when he took office. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But Reynolds offered a different way that life could be, one focused on parents and a government that is \u201cworking well but operating in the background. It\u2019s supporting the ingenuity and spirit of our people, not drowning them out. It\u2019s keeping them safe, not restricting their freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reynolds noted that during COVID-19, many blue states shut down and kept kids out of the classroom while GOP governors \u201cactually listened to the science\u201d and kept schools open.<\/p>\n<p>But, Reynolds said that the pro-family movement only starts with keeping kids in the classroom:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u2026keeping schools open is only the start of the pro-parent, pro-family revolution that Republicans are leading in Iowa and states across this country.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Republicans believe that parents matter. It was true before the pandemic and has never been more important to say out loud: Parents Matter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They have a right to know, and to have a say in, what their kids are being taught.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Regarding illegal immigrations Reynolds said that families have \u201cevery right to live in a safe and secure community. And that begins with a safe and secure country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the Biden Administration has refused to secure our border,\u201d she claimed. \u201cThey\u2019ve refused to provide the resources to stop human trafficking. To stop the staggering influx of deadly drugs coming into our neighborhoods. They\u2019ve refused to protect you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reynolds noted GOP states have in turn taken matters into their own hands when it comes to border security.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, the Iowa governor asserted that where Biden fails \u2014 which is pretty much on every issue, according to Reynolds \u2014 the GOP is leading:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>We are standing up for parents and kids; we\u2019re standing up for life. We\u2019re keeping our communities safe and thanking those in uniform.\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019re fighting to restore America\u2019s energy independence, including biofuels. We\u2019re getting people back to work, not paying them to stay home. Most of all, we\u2019re respecting your freedom. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reynolds also hammered the president\u2019s economic woes,\u00a0 stating when she was a young mom 40 years ago \u2014 the last time inflation was as bad as it today \u2014 she could \u201csee the pain of inflation on my neighbors\u2019 faces; I saw what happens when prices rise faster than wages\u201d while working at the grocery store cash register, but today \u201cyou don\u2019t have to check groceries to see what high inflation does to people,\u201d Biden and the Democrats \u201cjust need to step outside the D.C.
