  <description>Join America's Roundtable Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy in a conversation with a distinguished guest and an American patriot — U.S. Congressman Mike Bost.
Our conversation focuses on America's energy crisis impacting families across the nation, President Joe Biden's policies and OPEC+'s decision to drastically cut production by 2 million barrels of oil per day.  The discussion will also highlight America's economic woes and how Washington's policies are shaping the future of the country with rising interest rates adversely affecting first-time home buyers and the persistent US inflation wiping away savings and investments.
Congressman Bost will also bring to the forefront the national security crisis at the U.S. southern border and how it is affecting America's heartland.  Terrorists on the FBI watchlist have been apprehended while concerns are raised about those who may have slipped into the US.  Due to America's porous borders, the surge of drugs and specifically fentanyl are becoming leading causes of rising drug overdose deaths in the nation.
The conversation will also highlight what is being done to serve America's veterans and and the five House bills led by Congressman Bost to address a number of challenging issues including working to provide veterans a cost of living adjustment due to skyrocketing inflation.

  <description>Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with special guest U.S. Congressman Mike Bost (R-IL), Ranking Member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee and Member of Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for a timely commemoration of Veterans Day 2021 and the 100th anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. Congressman Bost shares about principled efforts to bring greater accountability and transparency on the Veterans Administration (VA) as veterans await healthcare cost reimbursements. 
Congressman Bost also address the Biden Administration's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and the on-going efforts to rescue Americans and Afghan nationals who risked their lives to help the United States military. On economic front, we discuss the serious concerns of the highest inflation in three decades, the skyrocketing price of food, energy and gas, and discussing the importance of advancing pro-growth solutions.
Congressman Bost's commentary  addresses the urgency to help veterans who were exposed to dangerous chemicals from open-air burns pits:
Burn Pits Cannot be the Next Agent Orange (https://riponsociety.org/article/burn-pits-cannot-be-the-next-agent-orange/) | The Ripon Forum
"I refuse to let burn pits be the next Agent Orange." — Rep. Mike Bost (R-Ill.), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
The Washington Times: Wholesale prices hit record highs as inflation soars (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/nov/9/wholesale-prices-hit-record-highs-inflation-soars/)
“Wholesale prices at the end of October surged by 8.6% since October 2020, the highest year-over-year increase recorded by the federal government since it began tracking the data in 2010, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.The report is bad news for consumers struggling with sticker shock as prices climb. It suggests that a high inflation rate is here to stay for a while despite the Biden administration’s insistence that it is temporary.”
