Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Tom Garrett, a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, former Assistant Attorney General and former U.S. Congressman.  
While serving in the US Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee and Homeland Security Committee. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.
Key Topics:
The state of America's economy and the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act focused on cutting taxes for everyday and hardworking Americans, including no tax on tips and overtime, no tax on social security, and savings for American families. 
 Energy | Fuel costs going down with a goal to make America energy independent.
President Trump's speech at the United Nations and the truth that while Western nations spend hundreds of billion of taxpayer dollars on the efforts to address climate change while China continues to be the world's number polluter. He called it "a conjob." President Trump stated that renewable energy, along with migration, was destroying Western countries and placing nations in debt and added greater security challenges. 
Published report:
_President Trump attacked global immigration and efforts to fight climate change during an address to the United Nations, claiming they were among the world’s top threats to Western civilization.
In an hour-long speech filled with grievances about ongoing wars, windmills and malfunctioning escalators, it was Trump’s attacks against what he called a “double-tailed monster” that rang loudest in the ornate General Assembly room.
“Immigration and the high cost of so-called green, renewable energy is destroying a large part of the free world and a large part of our planet,” he said. “Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. Both immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe.”
“I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the ‘green energy’ scam, your country is going to fail. If you don’t stop people that you’ve never seen before that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail.”  _
President Donald Trump, speech delivered at the United Nations, September 23, 2025
America's eyes are focused on state-wide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, with governors' races and the legislatures which will determine key policies including economic and social issues. Pro-life advocates are concerned about Virginian Democrats pushing for a radical plan:
House Joint Resolution 1/Senate Joint Resolution 247, would amend the Virginia Constitution to allow for unrestricted abortion through the third trimester of pregnancy – repealing and preventing widely supported abortion regulations that enjoy broad support from the American people.
 New manufacturing plant in the United States - Insulin for Americans | Competition to bring down prices of pharmaceuticals in America | India's Biocon which produces biosimilars and insulin opened its first manufacturing facility in New Jersey.
Biocon Biologics is a global leader in biosimilars and insulin production and is among the top three global players for rh-Insulin and Insulin Glargine, providing over 9.2 billion doses of insulin globally with a broad portfolio comprising basal, mixed and rapid acting insulins.
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairperson, Biocon Group, said, “Biocon’s first U.S. FDA approved formulations facility in New Jersey marks a new chapter in our journey of global expansion. More than a milestone, it is a reaffirmation of our purpose to serve patients wherever they are." 
Washington Times, op-ed by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy:
FDA must fast track insulin for the millions of Americans living with diabetes

Bio | Tom Garrett
Virginia Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. 
Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia.
In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia’s 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus.
In the years since, Tom Garrett has dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and forgotten not only here in America, but around the world. Tom has been working on a global docu-series project, Exile, (https://www.wvtf.org/news/2021-12-10/former-congressman-tom-garrett-working-on-a-new-documentary-series) which tells the untold stories of those who are persecuted based on their faith or ethnicity. 
In addition to continuing his work as a defense attorney, Tom has served as a consultant and most recently, cofounder for firms working in global energy development.

<p>Join <a href="https://americasrt.com/" rel="nofollow">America&#39;s Roundtable</a> radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Tom Garrett, a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, former Assistant Attorney General and former U.S. Congressman.  </p>

<p>While serving in the US Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee and Homeland Security Committee. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett&#39;s analysis and insights are enlightening as America&#39;s foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.</p>

<p>Key Topics:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>The state of America&#39;s economy and the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act focused on cutting taxes for everyday and hardworking Americans, including no tax on tips and overtime, no tax on social security, and savings for American families. </p></li>
<li><p>Energy | Fuel costs going down with a goal to make America energy independent.</p></li>
<li><p>President Trump&#39;s speech at the United Nations and the truth that while Western nations spend hundreds of billion of taxpayer dollars on the efforts to address climate change while China continues to be the world&#39;s number polluter. He called it &quot;a conjob.&quot; President Trump stated that renewable energy, along with migration, was destroying Western countries and placing nations in debt and added greater security challenges. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Published report:<br>
_President Trump attacked global immigration and efforts to fight climate change during an address to the United Nations, claiming they were among the world’s top threats to Western civilization.</p>

<p>In an hour-long speech filled with grievances about ongoing wars, windmills and malfunctioning escalators, it was Trump’s attacks against what he called a “double-tailed monster” that rang loudest in the ornate General Assembly room.<br>
“Immigration and the high cost of so-called green, renewable energy is destroying a large part of the free world and a large part of our planet,” he said. “Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. Both immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe.”</p>

<p>“I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the ‘green energy’ scam, your country is going to fail. If you don’t stop people that you’ve never seen before that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail.”  _</p>

<ul>
<li>President Donald Trump, speech delivered at the United Nations, September 23, 2025</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li><p>America&#39;s eyes are focused on state-wide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, with governors&#39; races and the legislatures which will determine key policies including economic and social issues. Pro-life advocates are concerned about Virginian Democrats pushing for a radical plan:<br>
House Joint Resolution 1/Senate Joint Resolution 247, would amend the Virginia Constitution to allow for unrestricted abortion through the third trimester of pregnancy – repealing and preventing widely supported abortion regulations that enjoy broad support from the American people.</p></li>
<li><p>New manufacturing plant in the United States - Insulin for Americans | Competition to bring down prices of pharmaceuticals in America | India&#39;s Biocon which produces biosimilars and insulin opened its first manufacturing facility in New Jersey.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Biocon Biologics is a global leader in biosimilars and insulin production and is among the top three global players for rh-Insulin and Insulin Glargine, providing over 9.2 billion doses of insulin globally with a broad portfolio comprising basal, mixed and rapid acting insulins.</p>

<p>Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairperson, Biocon Group, said, “Biocon’s first U.S. FDA approved formulations facility in New Jersey marks a new chapter in our journey of global expansion. More than a milestone, it is a reaffirmation of our purpose to serve patients wherever they are.&quot; </p>

<p>Washington Times, op-ed by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy:</p>

<p>FDA must fast track insulin for the millions of Americans living with diabetes<br>
<a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/17/fda-must-fast-track-insulin-for-the-millions-of-am/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/oct/17/fda-must-fast-track-insulin-for-the-millions-of-am/</a></p>

<p>Bio | Tom Garrett</p>

<p>Virginia Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. </p>

<p>Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia.</p>

<p>In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia’s 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus.</p>

<p>In the years since, Tom Garrett has dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and forgotten not only here in America, but around the world. Tom has been working on a global <a href="https://www.wvtf.org/news/2021-12-10/former-congressman-tom-garrett-working-on-a-new-documentary-series" rel="nofollow">docu-series project, Exile,</a> which tells the untold stories of those who are persecuted based on their faith or ethnicity. </p>

<p>In addition to continuing his work as a defense attorney, Tom has served as a consultant and most recently, cofounder for firms working in global energy development.</p>

  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, senior senator for Tennessee and the first woman to represent the Volunteer State in the United States Senate. She serves on the Deputy Whip Team and is a member of the Finance Committee; the Commerce, Science &amp;amp; Transportation Committee; the Veterans’ Affairs Committee; and the Judiciary Committee. 
Senator Marsha Blackburn serves as the Ranking Member on the Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Data Security and on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law. Before her election to the Senate, Marsha represented Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.
The conversation focuses on the following topics:
✅ President Trump's State of the Union Address, presenting his vision for a Golden Age of America.
✅ Senator Blackburn requiring transparency and accountability, working with FBI Director Kash Patel in obtaining unredacted Epstein logs and other pertinent materials
✅ Senator Blackburn spearheading DOGE Acts to hold the federal government accountable for managing taxpayer dollars. Collaborative efforts with Elon Mask in making the federal government more efficient and slash wasteful spending.
✅ Strengthening the economic partnership between the U.S. and Taiwan.
✅ Senator Blackburn's recently introduced Tax Administration Simplification Act, to provide straightforward, taxpayer-focused improvements to streamline tax filing and payment for individuals and small businesses.
✅  Strengthening US-Israel ties and combating anti-Semitism with new leadership in Congress and the White House. 
✅ Making America Healthy Again | Healthy foods and eating habits for a healthier America. 
Throughout her time in Congress, Marsha has led the fight to hold Communist China accountable. Her in-depth analyses of the Chinese Communist Party’s threats to American sovereignty have prompted Congress to examine legislation countering Beijing’s malign influence on global supply chains, technology infrastructure, and international organizations. 
After Beijing took over the once autonomous region of Hong Kong in 2019, Marsha led bipartisan legislation, which was signed into law by President Trump, that prohibits the U.S. export of crowd control equipment to the Hong Kong Police Force. Her bipartisan Open Technology Fund Authorization Act, which supports internet freedom by addressing authoritarian regimes’ efforts to censor the internet, was also signed into law. 
At the same time Marsha has stood up to Communist China, she has worked to bolster the U.S.-Taiwan relationship. In August 2022, she visited Taiwan, met with President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei, and called to strengthen connections between the U.S. and Taiwan. During this visit, Marsha made her stance clear: Taiwan is a country.
On border policy, Marsha bases her approach on the simple truth that until our borders are secure, every town will be a border town and every state will be a border state. In the Senate, she has led the charge to fully fund the United States Border Patrol, restart construction of a physical barrier, impose harsher criminal penalties for drug smuggling, and fight for law and order on behalf of the thousands of women and girls lost to cross-border human trafficking.

  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with distinguished guest Ambassador Peter Hoekstra. The conversation focuses on key issues affecting American families and communities as the country continues to experience persistent higher prices for food and gas. A published report by The Wall Street Journal said, "Yet since January 2021 electricity prices have soared 29.4%—about 50% more than overall inflation."   
The Wall Street Journal in a report on July 3, 2024 stated, "The Fed raised rates at the fastest pace in 40 years in 2022 and 2023 to combat inflation that also rose to a four-decade high. They have held their benchmark rate in a range between 5.25% and 5.5% since last July."    
This discussion on America's Roundtable also provides an update on foreign policy issues impacting America. The conflict in Europe triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Iran-backed terror group Hamas' invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023 and Iran's first-ever open attack on Israel on April 13, 2024, have shown cracks in America's leadership on the global stage.

  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Honorable Peter Hoekstra who served as America's ambassador to the Netherlands. 
Special Commentary via America's Roundtable Radio | Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy review President Joe Biden's State of the Union address and the China threat.
During 1993-2011, US Congressman Hoekstra served the citizens of Michigan's 2nd congressional district, was the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and a member of the Gang of Eight from 2004 until 2011, receiving the most highly classified information available in the U.S. government. 
During his tenure as America's top diplomat to the Netherlands, The Hague hosted the Department of State Global Entrepreneurial Summit in June of 2019, which was attended by over 2000 entrepreneurs, investors, and other business leaders. Pete Hoekstra’s areas of expertise include national security, international relations, cyber security, marketing and business development and his experience as a Fortune 500 executive.
In February 2024, he took over the reins as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party. 
Key topics covered with Ambassador Hoekstra on America's Roundtable:
The state of America's economy, the nation's significant challenge with millions of illegal immigrants pouring into the nation since 2021, and the growing concerns of a looming security threat within the nation's borders.
The China threat in states across America: The efforts to mobilize grassroots activists to oppose the efforts undertaken by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Quentin Messer Jr., the CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. to bring two lithium ion battery manufacturers to Michigan which are headquartered in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and alleged to have ties with Chinese Communist Party (CCP). 
Published report (https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19607/communist-china-michigan): "For the projects in Michigan, there are all sorts of red flags flying around the roughly $4 billion in economic incentives, tax benefits, and infrastructure improvements the state of Michigan is handing out as incentives to CATL/Ford and Gotion to locate the two projects in Michigan. Ford is "licensing" CCP technology for its plant with CATL while Gotion is a subsidiary of a Chinese-based company subject to Chinese surveillance laws. Both already have seen support from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the state legislature, which last week began the process of approving nearly $200 million for the Gotion project in Michigan."
Op-Ed by US Ambassadors Pete Hoekstra and Joe Cella | The Detroit News | Against China threat, Whitmer leans into Taiwan (https://www.detroitnews.com/restricted/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.detroitnews.com%2Fstory%2Fopinion%2F2024%2F03%2F06%2Fhoekstra-and-cella-against-china-threat-whitmer-leans-into-taiwan%2F72868803007%2F)
Brief excerpt: 
"_It is unconscionable and hypocritical of Whitmer to invest billions of Michigan taxpayer dollars in these PRC-based and CCP-tied companies — which are also connected to the People's Liberation Army (PLA), Communist North Korea, forced labor in Xinjiang, and Communist Chinese Military Companies — while ignoring the existential threat the PRC and the CCP present to Taiwan. 
Worse yet, the "deals" are shrouded by secret code names, binding and punitive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and were not subjected to strict scrutiny and due diligence, defying the direction of our national security and intelligence agencies gave to a group of bipartisan elected officials and business leaders. With the threat environment emanating around the globe from the PRC and the CCP today, it takes strong principles to stand and courageously counter the threat to protect our national security._"
Is President Joe Biden's policy threatening Israel's future? Is Biden's administration and political campaign placing electorate considerations above Israel's security and sovereignty? Focusing on Iran's ambitions.
Focusing on the concerns raised by Michigan's voters and the swing state's influence on the presidential election.

    <![CDATA[<p>Join <a href="https://americasrt.com/" rel="nofollow">America&#39;s Roundtable</a> radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Honorable Peter Hoekstra who served as America&#39;s ambassador to the Netherlands. </p>

<p>Special Commentary via America&#39;s Roundtable Radio | Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy review President Joe Biden&#39;s State of the Union address and the China threat.</p>

<p>During 1993-2011, US Congressman Hoekstra served the citizens of Michigan&#39;s 2nd congressional district, was the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and a member of the Gang of Eight from 2004 until 2011, receiving the most highly classified information available in the U.S. government. </p>

<p>During his tenure as America&#39;s top diplomat to the Netherlands, The Hague hosted the Department of State Global Entrepreneurial Summit in June of 2019, which was attended by over 2000 entrepreneurs, investors, and other business leaders. Pete Hoekstra’s areas of expertise include national security, international relations, cyber security, marketing and business development and his experience as a Fortune 500 executive.</p>

<p>In February 2024, he took over the reins as chairman of the Michigan Republican Party. </p>

<p>Key topics covered with Ambassador Hoekstra on America&#39;s Roundtable:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>The state of America&#39;s economy, the nation&#39;s significant challenge with millions of illegal immigrants pouring into the nation since 2021, and the growing concerns of a looming security threat within the nation&#39;s borders.</p></li>
<li><p>The China threat in states across America: The efforts to mobilize grassroots activists to oppose the efforts undertaken by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Quentin Messer Jr., the CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp. to bring two lithium ion battery manufacturers to Michigan which are headquartered in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and alleged to have ties with Chinese Communist Party (CCP). </p></li>
</ol>

<p><a href="https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19607/communist-china-michigan" rel="nofollow">Published report</a>: &quot;For the projects in Michigan, there are all sorts of red flags flying around the roughly $4 billion in economic incentives, tax benefits, and infrastructure improvements the state of Michigan is handing out as incentives to CATL/Ford and Gotion to locate the two projects in Michigan. Ford is &quot;licensing&quot; CCP technology for its plant with CATL while Gotion is a subsidiary of a Chinese-based company subject to Chinese surveillance laws. Both already have seen support from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the state legislature, which last week began the process of approving nearly $200 million for the Gotion project in Michigan.&quot;</p>

<p>Op-Ed by US Ambassadors Pete Hoekstra and Joe Cella | The Detroit News | <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/restricted/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.detroitnews.com%2Fstory%2Fopinion%2F2024%2F03%2F06%2Fhoekstra-and-cella-against-china-threat-whitmer-leans-into-taiwan%2F72868803007%2F" rel="nofollow">Against China threat, Whitmer leans into Taiwan</a></p>

<p>Brief excerpt: </p>

<p>&quot;_It is unconscionable and hypocritical of Whitmer to invest billions of Michigan taxpayer dollars in these PRC-based and CCP-tied companies — which are also connected to the People&#39;s Liberation Army (PLA), Communist North Korea, forced labor in Xinjiang, and Communist Chinese Military Companies — while ignoring the existential threat the PRC and the CCP present to Taiwan. </p>

<p>Worse yet, the &quot;deals&quot; are shrouded by secret code names, binding and punitive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and were not subjected to strict scrutiny and due diligence, defying the direction of our national security and intelligence agencies gave to a group of bipartisan elected officials and business leaders. With the threat environment emanating around the globe from the PRC and the CCP today, it takes strong principles to stand and courageously counter the threat to protect our national security._&quot;</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is President Joe Biden&#39;s policy threatening Israel&#39;s future? Is Biden&#39;s administration and political campaign placing electorate considerations above Israel&#39;s security and sovereignty? Focusing on Iran&#39;s ambitions.</p></li>
<li><p>Focusing on the concerns raised by Michigan&#39;s voters and the swing state&#39;s influence on the presidential election.</p></li>
</ol>

  <description>Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation with Honorable Maurice McTigue, QSO, on the erosion of the rule of law in America, threats to freedom of speech, weakened democratic institutions and solutions in advancing principled policy reforms. The conversation brings to the forefront America's economy, the importance of competition among America's states, and rollout of the Biden administration's economic policies. Election integrity and the sanctity of the ballot is brought under the spotlight in light of widespread voter distrust of America's electoral process.
The Honorable Maurice McTigue is Vice President for Outreach at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Mr. McTigue serves on the executive advisory board of the International Leaders Summit and delivered keynote addresses at The Jerusalem Leaders Summit in Israel, the International Leaders Summit’s events in Brussels, Eastern Europe and Washington, DC. Mr. McTigue has testified on Capitol Hill and published articles in many major media outlets, including The New York Times, The Atlantic, Bloomberg, US News &amp;amp; World Report, and The Chicago Tribune. In Washington, DC, McTigue advised the White House Office of Management and Budget and most federal agencies on issues of accountability and transparency and has consulted with legislators and governors in more than 30 states. 
A former cabinet minister and member of parliament in his native New Zealand, McTigue was one of the architects of the “New Zealand miracle,” which dramatically reformed the country’s government and economy by implementing market-driven, progrowth policies. He later became New Zealand’s ambassador to Canada and received the prestigious Queen’s Service Order in recognition of his public service from Queen Elizabeth II.
For further details about Maurice McTigue and his leadership in advancing principled reforms in his home country of New Zealand, the United States of America and Europe — please review these articles and videos:
