With U.S. President Joe Biden heading to the Middle East (July 13-16) with stops in Israel and Saudi Arabia, the discussion on America's Roundtable will also draw greater attention to the growing concern of the Iran nuclear threat.

“Now Tehran is much closer to having enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb, though they do not appear to have resumed their weaponization program. But we are of course alarmed, as are our partners, about the progress they've made in the enrichment field. Iran has enough highly enriched uranium on hand to make a bomb and could do so in a matter of weeks." — Robert Malley, U.S. Special Envoy for Iran.

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.

AMERICA'S ROUNDTABLE:

America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

America’s Roundtable radio program - a strategic initiative of International Leaders Summit, focuses on America’s economy, healthcare reform, rule of law, security and trade, and its strategic partnership with rule of law nations around the world. The radio program features high-ranking US administration officials, cabinet members, members of Congress, state government officials, distinguished diplomats, business and media leaders and influential thinkers from around the world.

America’s Roundtable is aired by Lanser Broadcasting Corporation - The Pledge Radio, at 96.5 FM, 98.9 FM and 1260 AM, covering Michigan’s major market, and through podcast on iTunes and other key online platforms. The Pledge Radio also features Salem Radio Network’s Dennis Prager and Michael Medved.

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.
