  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy in a conversation with Governor George Allen who served the Commonwealth of Virginia for more than 20 years, as governor, in both bodies of the United States Congress, and as a delegate holding Thomas Jefferson’s seat in the Virginia General Assembly.
As a former United States Senator and member of the House of Representatives, Governor George Allen shares his thoughts and ideas regarding the top priorities that the House Republican leadership ought to consider for the next two years.  Governor Allen will also weigh in on the lessons learned from the 2022 midterm elections.  The discussion will also highlight the importance of economic competitiveness among US states, and how America's citizens benefit from low taxes, less government regulation and greater economic liberty.
Governor Allen also highlights serious concerns regarding the dangerous politicization of the United States Military, the low morale experienced within the ranks, and the urgency to rebuild the readiness of America's military.  The discussion also spotlights the dangers on the U.S. southern border and the increased flow of drugs including fentanyl killing tens of thousands of young people across America.
The conversation also brings to the forefront the Abraham Accords, and its importance for America, Israel and the Middle East.
Brief Bio 
George F. Allen served the Commonwealth of Virginia for more than 20 years, as governor, in both bodies of the United States Congress, and as a delegate holding Thomas Jefferson’s seat in the Virginia General Assembly.
Sworn in as governor in 1994, George Allen brought sweeping reform that made Virginia a national model in economic development, public safety, education accountability, and creative government. As a self-described “Common Sense Jeffersonian Conservative,” Allen pushed through cutting edge reform with bipartisan support in a legislature held by the opposition.
Elected to the United States Senate in 2000, George Allen continued to advocate policies to make America and Virginia a leader in innovation and technology. Senator Allen was unanimously elected a member of the Senate Republican Leadership as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in 2002.

  <description>Dr. Monica Gandhi joins America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy and provides further insights on her recent piece, co-authohred with Jeanne Noble and published in Time Magazine — "We Can't Just Impose Restrictions Whenever COVID-19 Surges. Here's a Better Plan for 2022." Dr. Gandhi MD, MPH is Professor of Medicine; Associate Division Chief of the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases, and Global Medicine; Director of the Ward 86 HIV Clinic at San Francisco General Hospital; and Director of the Center for AIDS Research at UCSF.
She brings to the forefront the concerns about our children in her op-ed piece via The Wall Street Journal titled, "The Pandemic’s Toll on Teen Mental Health" in which she states: "The pandemic may have taken a heavier mental toll on young people than it has on adults. As the vaccinated proportion of the population increases and the pandemic ebbs across the U.S., a different crisis demands immediate attention. The nation’s health and education leaders must focus now on helping young people get past what has been a long, dark year."
Dr. Gandhi also highlights key lessons learned from the pandemic as America and the world transition to the endemic phase.

  <description>Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with special guest Governor George Allen who led the Commonwealth of Virginia as its 67th Governor and served as United States Senator. Our conversation analyzes Virginia's 2021 Gubernatorial election with Republicans wining three top statewide offices in Virginia and flipping the House of Delegates, wider implications of this election for the next midterm eletions and issues that Americans are mostly concerned with.  
George Allen served the Commonwealth of Virginia for more than 20 years, as governor, in both bodies of the United States Congress, and as a delegate holding Thomas Jefferson’s seat in the Virginia General Assembly.
Sworn in as governor in 1994, George Allen brought sweeping reform that made Virginia a national model in economic development, public safety, education accountability, and creative government. As a self-described “Common Sense Jeffersonian Conservative,” Allen pushed through cutting edge reform with bipartisan support in a legislature held by the opposition.
Mr. Allen holds an undergraduate degree and law degree from the University of Virginia. Elected to the United States Senate in 2000, George Allen continued to make America and Virginia a leader in innovation and technology. 
Mr. Allen currently serves as the President of George Allen Strategies, a consulting firm founded by Mr. Allen, and has served on the board of directors for technology companies, including Lee Technologies, nanoRisk Assessment and Material Intellect, Inc.

  <description>Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation with special guest Honorable Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Secretary of State (2018-2021), former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (2017-2018) and member of the U.S. Congress (2011 to 2017).  This discussion focuses on US leadership in foreign policy led by the Trump administration and through Secretary Pompeo's principled approach in securing peace through strength in the Middle East.  The importance of affirming the Abraham Accords and institutionalizing this significant endeavor is brought to the forefront. Secretary Pompeo raises serious concerns about the Biden administration's rush to sign an Iranian nuclear deal which threatens Israel, the region, and beyond. The conversation also highlights the measures undertaken by the Trump administration to hold to account Iran, a state-sponsor of terrorism. 
Secretary Pompeo also weighs into the urgent work at hand to address communist China's striving for economic, technology and military dominance through intellectual property theft, creating vassal states around the world through its Road and Belt initiative, and military encroachments in the South China Sea. 
Secretary Pompeo announces the launch of Champion American Values to promote shared values and principles: https://cavpac.com/

This discussion focuses on US leadership in foreign policy led by the Trump administration and through Secretary Pompeo&#39;s principled approach in securing peace through strength in the Middle East.  The importance of affirming the Abraham Accords and institutionalizing this significant endeavor is brought to the forefront. Secretary Pompeo raises serious concerns about the Biden administration&#39;s rush to sign an Iranian nuclear deal which threatens Israel, the region, and beyond. The conversation also highlights the measures undertaken by the Trump administration to hold to account Iran, a state-sponsor of terrorism. </p>

<p>Secretary Pompeo also weighs into the urgent work at hand to address communist China&#39;s striving for economic, technology and military dominance through intellectual property theft, creating vassal states around the world through its Road and Belt initiative, and military encroachments in the South China Sea. </p>

<p>Secretary Pompeo announces the launch of Champion American Values to promote shared values and principles: <a href="https://cavpac.com/" rel="nofollow">https://cavpac.com/</a></p>

  <description>Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation on the Covid-19 pandemic’s toll on teen mental health with Monica Gandhi, MD, Professor of Medicine and Associate Division Chief (Clinical Operations/ Education) of the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases, and Global Medicine at The University of California San Francisco General Hospital. She also serves as the medical director of the HIV Clinic at San Francisco General Hospital. Dr. Gandhi completed her M.D. at Harvard Medical School. 
The discussion also elevates concerns about China's culpability in the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the Chinese communist party's lack of transparency in revealing the origins of the virus that has caused the deaths of nearly 4 million people and affecting some 175 million cases around the world.

"The Economist/YouGov found 58 percent of Americans said COVID-19 came from a Wuhan lab, up from 49 percent who said the same when the pollsters first asked the question in May of 2020. Meanwhile, 18 percent said it was "definitely or probably false" that the virus came from a Chinese lab, while 24 percent said they didn't know." - Newsweek

  <description>Listen to America's Roundtable co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with special guest Virginia Walden Ford — a leading advocate and champion for school choice in America. While she was raising her three children in Washington, D.C., Virginia was shocked that so many children were forced to attend failing, crumbling schools simply because they lived in the “wrong” ZIP codes.  Virginia Walden Ford then founded a grassroots movement in Washington, DC,  that led to the passage of the "Opportunity Scholarship Program" for low-income children in Washington, DC. Today, her efforts are bringing hope to children and parents especially within the Black and Hispanic communities and inspiring parents.

The Miss Virginia Movie 
Based on a true story, a struggling inner-city mother sacrifices everything to give her son a good education and launches a movement that could save his future - and that of thousands like him. Available NOW on over 1,000 streaming platforms, including Apple TV, Netflix, Google Play, and Amazon Prime Video. See additional platforms at www.missvirginiamovie.com/watch.
Trailer: https://youtu.be/4t_Blc9BiD0
MISS VIRGINIA’s stellar cast - Emmy® winner Uzo Aduba, Golden Globe nominee Matthew Modine, Emmy® nominee Vanessa Williams, Emmy® nominee Aunjanue Ellis, Amirah Vann, Emmy® nominee Adina Porter and Niles Fitch.  Directed by: R.J. Daniel Hanna
About Virginia Walden Ford - From Miss Virginia Movie (https://www.missvirginiamovie.com):
“Being a part of this fight for educational excellence was hard — certainly something I had never thought I’d be involved in — but when I looked at my children and my neighbors’ children, I felt compelled to continue. It was scary sometimes, but I believed then and I believe now that it was the right thing to do… for all of our kids.” — Virginia Walden Ford
MISS VIRGINIA is inspired by the story of Virginia Walden Ford, a struggling single mother from a low-income neighborhood in Washington, DC. Affectionately called “Miss Virginia” and “the Education Lady” by neighborhood children, Virginia fought to create a scholarship program for her at-risk son and children like him. And she won.
Virginia grew up in the deep South. Her world changed when the Supreme Court decided the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, which famously concluded that “separate educational facilities” for white and black children were “inherently unequal.”
Virginia’s fight for her son and other at-risk kids forced her to become a warrior. She had to overcome deep inner doubts about whether she could actually do what she had set out to do — and almost crippling fear that she would let down the parents and kids whose hopes and dreams depended on her.
In 2004, after years of activism, Virginia secured legislation that gave thousands of impoverished, largely minority children access to safe, high-quality schools. Many have since gone on to college and rewarding careers, an outcome that would have been unimaginable without the educational boost Virginia’s law provided.
Now, MISS VIRGINIA captures Virginia’s indomitable spirit on screen. The film will inspire audiences to do their utmost to secure their children’s essential civil right—the right to an education.

  <description>Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary, Housing and Urban Development, joins America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy to discuss the impact of the opportunity zones across the United States where 35 million Americans reside. The Opportunity Zones incentive, created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was designed to spur economic development and job creation by encouraging long-term investments in low-income communities nationwide. As America begins its path of economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, this initiative is a unique endeavor to fuel job creation and economic growth.
The conversation also highlights the importance of focusing on the science and real data from around the world when addressing the concerns about the coronavirus pandemic which originated in Wuhan, China. Dr. Carson brings to the table his experiences as a medical professional, a longtime Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, a position which he held since the age of 33. 
Dr. Ben Carson presents ideas and solutions, emphasizing the guidelines provided by the administration and best practices outlined in order to safely reopen schools across America. Over 50 million students from K-12 grade have been impacted by the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Greater concerns are raised as some states and school districts are pushing back on safely reopening schools.  While virtual education may help a certain group of students, these efforts may further marginalize the over 43% of children from lower income families lacking access to digital devices and the 15% of U.S. households with school-age children who do not have a high-speed internet connection at home. Schools insisting on virtual education are ignoring the digital divide. This may adversely affect low-income families and specifically children from the Black, Hispanic and rural areas.

 — The Opportunity Zones incentive, created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was designed to spur economic development and job creation by encouraging long-term investments in low-income communities nationwide. Nearly 35 million Americans live in the more than 8,700 Opportunity Zones across the country.
—The Secretary was just in Charleston, SC for an Opportunity Zone focused event with Senator Scott to discuss a new rule from the Treasury to drive more capital in underserved communities.
—273 action items have been completed by the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council as of the end of April.  This list is available at OpportunityZones.gov. Each of these action items helps further the Council’s mission of complementing private Qualified Opportunity Fund investment.
—The rate of infection among younger schoolchildren and from students to teachers has been low, especially if proper precautions are followed. There have also been few reports of children being the primary source of COVID-19 transmission among family members. That’s where the data currently stands.

  <description>Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President at The White House provides a timely and relevant update on safely and prudently reopening schools in America. President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and the First Lady Melania Trump held a strategic event at the White House with major stakeholders in the education sphere including state, local, and tribal leaders, educators, and families.  Over 50 million American students from K-12 have been impacted by the stay-at-home orders and school shutdowns. Kellyanne Conway conveys concerns about the wellbeing of the forgotten child and highlights challenges including the digital divide adversely  affecting low income families.
Kellyanne Conway also shared about the vital healthcare initiatives and reform efforts that President Trump’s administration has been working on - to make healthcare accessible, affordable and transparent for American patients and taxpayers, including:
President Trump’s “Executive Order on Improving Price and Quality Transparency in American Healthcare to Put Patients First” which was signed in June 2019;
The most recent victory, with the federal court upholding the Trump administration’s hospital price transparency which requires hospitals to disclose secret rates they negotiate with insurance companies;
Lowering insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries, whereby common forms of insulin will be available to seniors at no more than $35 for a month’s supply;
Addressing opioid crisis and passing Support Act, which Kellyanne considers to be the most robust and significant bipartisan accomplishment of the President’s first term.

Rep. Mike Bost is proud to represent the 12 counties of Illinois’ 12th District in the U.S. House of Representatives.  Sworn into office on January 6, 2015, Mike is continuing the fight for our Southern Illinois’ values in Washington – a fight he began in U.S. military, then as a first responder, a local job creator, and a state representative.
