Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 14:00:00 -0400

Join America's Roundtable Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with former U.S. Congressman Dave Brat, economist, dean of the School of Business, Liberty University, and executive advisory board member, International Leaders Summit.

This weekend's conversation will focus on the vital issues impacting America's citizen-stakeholders and the world:

— The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and The Signature Bank and its cost to America's taxpayers.

— Spotlight on the Federal Reserve Bank and its adverse impact on the free market economy.

— The future of regional banks in America.

— Addressing the dangers of President Biden's ESG rules—"environmental, social and governance" placing retirement savings at risk.

"Put simply, retirement savings will be used as leverage to force companies to reduce their carbon emissions and establish racial and gender quotas and other social justice fads completely unrelated to securing a high return on workers' lifetime savings....Terrence Keeley, a former executive at BlackRock, blew the whistle on this scam in the Wall Street Journal by noting that since 2017, when the ESG fad took hold, these funds have had an annual rate of return of 6.3% – versus 8.9% for the stock market as a whole. Investors lost 2.6% per year on their retirement funds. There goes the down payment on that retirement home in Arizona or Florida." — Stephen Moore

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 08:00:00 -0500

Join America's Roundtable Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Attorney General Jason S. Miyares from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Our conversation focuses on the following topics:

— Attorney General Jason Miyares discusses the creation of Virginia's Antisemitism Task Force and efforts to counter the rise of attacks targeting the Jewish community in America.

— The 25-state lawsuit on new Department of Labor rule allowing asset managers to direct their clients’ retirement money to ESG (Environmental Social Governance) investments.

— Attorney General Jason Miyares' efforts in leading a coalition of 21 states calling on President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to designate drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) under federal law. We learn how this initiative will free up resources to confront the deadly opioid crisis with the seriousness it deserves.

— American exceptionalism and the principled messages from President Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln.

Bio | Jason S. Miyares

Attorney General Jason Miyares' story doesn't start in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but in Havana, Cuba when his mother, Miriam Miyares, fled communist Cuba, penniless and homeless. She taught Jason a love for freedom, democracy, and that America is indeed the “last best hope on earth.” A product of Virginia public schools, Jason graduated with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from James Madison University and received his J.D. from the College of William and Mary School of Law.

He previously served as a prosecutor in the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney Office, where he worked alongside law enforcement to keep violent criminals off our streets and our communities safe.

In 2015, almost fifty years to the day that she fled Cuba, Miriam was able to vote for her son Jason Miyares to represent her in the oldest democracy in the Western Hemisphere, the Virginia House of Delegates. While representing Virginia Beach, Jason was recognized as “Legislator of the Year” in both 2018 and 2019 from the College Affordability and Public Trust for his work on transparency and affordability in higher education, as well as by the Hampton Roads Military Officers Association of America in 2018. He was also recognized in 2019 by the Safe House Project for his work combatting human trafficking, an issue that his administration is prioritizing.

Jason Miyares is the first Cuban American elected to the General Assembly, the first Hispanic elected statewide in Virginia, and the first son of an immigrant ever elected to be Attorney General. He is passionate about preserving the American Miracle for the next generation of Virginians.
