Today, we are experiencing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East with rising tensions in Southeast Asia. The time-tested policy of "peace through strength" has been weakened by lack of American leadership on the world stage.

The conversation also addresses the concern of America's isolationism and the principled message articulated by one of America's greatest presidents:

"We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better to be here ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We’ve learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent."
— President Ronald Reagan

The conversation with Congressman Lamborn also focuses on the promise of a new era in the Middle East with the proposed US-Saudi Arabia Economic and Security Alliance which could transform the region and benefit both nations on the economic and trade fronts. Saudi Arabia could become a major hub for trade and tourism and a gateway to over 400 million consumers in Arab countries.

Bio | Congressman Doug Lamborn

In Colorado, Doug was called to public office and served in the Colorado General Assembly from 1995 to 2006, in both the State House and State Senate. During his time in the Colorado Legislature, Doug was elected Senate President Pro-Tem, served as Chairman of the Senate State Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, Chairman of the Senate Republican Caucus, and House Majority Whip.

Doug was then elected to the US House of Representatives in 2006 to represent Colorado's Fifth District. Colorado's Fifth District, based in Colorado Springs, is one of our nation's most military-intensive congressional districts and the home to more than 100,000 veterans who have served our country with distinction and honor. Because of the district's military and veteran concentration, Doug serves as a high-ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee and a former member for ten years of the Veterans Affairs Committee. In these roles, he has protected important national defense funding, programs, and missions and has fought hard for the right of veterans to receive the healthcare they have earned.

Additionally, the Congressman has worked since his first day in office to bring about a dignified and fitting National Veterans Cemetery to the Pikes Peak Region, which is now completed. Additionally, Doug currently serves as the Chairman of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee. The Strategic Forces Subcommittee has jurisdiction over Department of Defense and Department of Energy policy related to strategic deterrence, strategic stability, nuclear weapons, strategic and nuclear arms control, nonproliferation, nuclear safety, missile defense, and space; Department of Defense programs and accounts related to nuclear weapons, strategic missiles, nuclear command and control systems, Department of Defense intelligence space, space systems and services of the military departments, and intermediate and long-range missile defense systems; and Department of Energy national security programs and accounts.

Doug also serves on the House Natural Resources Committee and its subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, and the Energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee. The Subcommittee on Federal Lands is responsible for all matters related to the National Park System, U.S. Forests, public lands, and national monuments. The Energy and Mineral Resources subcommittee oversees public resources on public lands, including offshore energy development. Throughout his time in public service, Doug has been a leader on pro-family and small business issues, a strong advocate for our veterans and our military, and a supporter of lower taxes, immigration reform, less government spending, and protection of the Second Amendment.

Doug is married to Jeanie, his wife of 47 years and an accomplished artist and former teacher at the Bemis School of Art in Colorado Springs. The Lamborn's have also raised five extremely successful children. Their four sons were Eagle Scouts and, among them, have served as a doctor, in the military, as an attorney, and as a member of the film industry in Los Angeles.

The conversation focuses on the terrorist attacks carried out by Iranian-backed Hamas killing over 1,400 Israelis including 31 Americans. Over 4,500 Israelis have been wounded, and more than 200 Israeli hostages including Americans have been taken from Israel by Hamas into Gaza.

Congressman Lamborn provides an update on the realities on the ground, the difficult road ahead, and the significance of the US-Israel partnership in confronting terrorism and instability in the Middle East.

The discussion also focuses on Iran, the state sponsor of terrorism, and how the rogue nation's ambition in acquiring nuclear weapons may adversely impact the region and the world.

This past week, Reuters reported, “Russia said it need no longer obey U.N. Security Council restrictions on giving missile technology to its ally Iran once they expire…without saying whether it now planned to support Tehran's missile development.”

The Abraham Accords are brought to the forefront as the potential Saudi Arabia - Israel normalization of relations could usher in a historic transformation in the Middle East. America's leadership is vital in advancing peace through strength.

On America's Roundtable, Congressman Doug Lamborn also addresses serious concerns about the national security crisis at the US southern border.

She served Virginians in public office as State Senator and worked in our nation’s healthcare system as a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner, serving America’s aging population.

We are focusing on the following topics:

— The looming debt-ceiling crisis, America's federal debt at $31 trillion and the significance of returning fiscal responsibility to Congress.

— The national security crisis on the U.S. southern border enters a new dangerous phase as Title 42 expires and new surge of illegal migrants places the nation at greater risk. Congresswoman Kiggans shares about her recent visit to the southern border with Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy and her colleagues, as well as the efforts being undertaken to address the crisis at the border.

— Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02) led 55 of her colleagues in writing a scathing letter to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Secretary Denis McDonough condemning the dishonest, partisan use of the VA to spread fear and anxiety among America’s veterans regarding their benefits.
