  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with former U.S. Congressman Dave Brat (https://gettr.com/user/brateconomics), economist, dean of the School of Business, Liberty University, and executive advisory board member, International Leaders Summit.
This weekend's conversation will focus on the vital issues impacting America's citizen-stakeholders and the world:
— The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and The Signature Bank and its cost to America's taxpayers.
— Spotlight on the Federal Reserve Bank and its adverse impact on the free market economy.
— The future of regional banks in America.
— Addressing the dangers of President Biden's ESG rules—"environmental, social and governance" placing retirement savings at risk.
"Put simply, retirement savings will be used as leverage to force companies to reduce their carbon emissions and establish racial and gender quotas and other social justice fads completely unrelated to securing a high return on workers' lifetime savings....Terrence Keeley, a former executive at BlackRock, blew the whistle on this scam in the Wall Street Journal by noting that since 2017, when the ESG fad took hold, these funds have had an annual rate of return of 6.3% – versus 8.9% for the stock market as a whole. Investors lost 2.6% per year on their retirement funds. There goes the down payment on that retirement home in Arizona or Florida." — Stephen Moore (https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/bidens-esg-investment-rules-threaten-your-retirement-savings)
— The China Threat.
