America's Roundtable with Tom Garrett | President Trump's Priorities — America and the World | Virginia's Rising Energy Cost | America's Leadership on the World Stage Re-Established

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 14:00:00 -0500

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Tom Garrett, representing Virginia's 56th District in the House of Delegates, Commonwealth of Virginia, former U.S. member of Congres, state senator and assistant attorney general for Virginia. 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.

The conversation is focused on the following topics:

✅ President Donald J. Trump’s notable moves in 26 days. The discussion tracks President Trump's biggest moves to reshape the federal government and address key reform issues including the promise to reduce taxation, and the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency's work to address waste, fraud and abuse with a goal to reduce federal spending. The spotlight is placed on the waste, fraud and abuse within USAID, an agency with a budget of $40 billion.

✅ An update on Virginia as conservative legislators work to prevent more than $450 million in ‘deficiency fees’ under the Virginia Clean Economy Act from being passed on to hard-working Virginia families. The fees are the result of a Virginia Clean Economy Act provision which penalizes utility companies if they don’t sell enough power from solar and wind installations, as opposed to traditional power plants and carbon-free nuclear power.

✅ The future of the Middle East with President Trump's bold Gaza proposal being hailed as an out-of-the-box thinking and bringing to the region a fundamental paradigm shift to the decades' old status quo which has emboldened terrorist groups and undermined Israel's security and sovereignty. What is the message that President Trump is sending to Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia and the warning to Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism? The Trump Administration strengthens America's partnership with Israel.

✅ President Trump’s conversation with Russia's President Vladimir Putin with a goal to end the war on the European continent. Tom Garrett is one of the few American leaders who visited Ukraine and was just 12 miles from the Ukraine-Russia border meeting with Ukrainian military leaders on the frontline.

✅ Congressman Garrett is also bringing to the forefront the plight of the 70 million people and hundreds of millions more around the world facing persecution through the new documentary series “Exile.” The project is a collaborative endeavor with Matt Whitworth—the documentary filmmaker known for HBO's "The Swamp."

America's Roundtable with Amb. Peter Hoekstra | US Economy, Security and Border Crisis | Biden's US-Israel Dangerous Policy Pivot | National Security Concerns as Michigan's Governor Whitmer Woos China

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sat, 09 Mar 2024 11:00:00 -0500

Join America's Roundtable 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: "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

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.

America's Roundtable with Fmr. Congressman Dave Brat | Vanishing Middle Class in America | Biden's Executive Order (EO) Unfairly Targets Israeli Jews | Impact of Illegal Immigration in America

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 08:30:00 -0500

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with one of America's top economists ⏤ former US Congressman Dave Brat, vice-president for business engagement at Liberty University.

America's Roundtable conversation with Congressman Dave Brat covers the following key topics:

Wealth creation | The growing disparity between America's top 1% and the vanishing middle-class. The persistent inflationary prices adversely impacting America's families.
Crisis on America's southern border. | The death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at the University of Georgia and the arrest of Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan citizen who immigration officials said entered the U.S. illegally.
The policy of peace through strength versus appeasement. The Biden administration's foreign policy placed under the spotlight.
Serious concerns are raised about President Biden's Executive Order (EO) which unfairly targets Israeli Jews in Judea and Samaria ⏤ the Biblical heartland of Israel, also known as the West Bank. Biden's EO clearly undermines Israel as a strong rule of law nation. Is this EO a departure of US support for the Jewish state?
Is the Abraham Accords ⏤ the promise of peace and prosperity in the Middle East, and beyond?

Kellyanne Conway | Safely Reopening Schools | Healthcare Reform | Opioid Crisis | Insulin Price Reduction for Seniors

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 11:00:00 -0400

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.
