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."

*Exile | Official Trailer *

Tom Garrett acquired his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Richmond, and began his service to our country with six years in the Army, becoming 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. Tom served the 5th District for two years before deciding not to seek reelection.

America's Roundtable with Chris Mitchell: Biden's Policy Reversal—Future of US-Israel Ties | The Promise of The Abraham Accords

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

This weekend on America's Roundtable, co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy will be joined by Chris Mitchell, CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief and author of compelling books including "ISIS, Iran and Israel: What You Need to Know about the Current Mideast Crisis and the Coming Mideast War."

Chris Mitchell covered the historic decision by President Trump to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, and saw the opening of Saudi Arabia to the world. In 2011, CBN News began the award-winning program, Jerusalem Dateline, hosted by Chris Mitchell and translated into multiple languages.

Chris Mitchell first began reporting on the Middle East in the mid-1990s. Chris repeatedly traveled there to report on the religious and political issues facing Israel and the surrounding Arab states.

Chris moved to Jerusalem in August 2000 to establish the CBN News Bureau. During the ensuing years, Chris and the staff have been able to cover firsthand how Jerusalem and the Middle East comprise the epicenter for world-shaking events. In 2005, CBN News covered the wrenching Israeli pullout from the Gaza Strip as thousands of Israelis were evicted. The following year, CBN Founder Pat Robertson joined Chris Mitchell and the crew on the front lines of the 2006 second Lebanon war.

When the Arab Spring erupted in 2011, CBN News sped to Tahrir Square in Cairo where thousands gathered to protest the government of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Through Chris Mitchell's leadership, CBN News covered the rise of ISIS and its reign of terror, from the bombed-out city of Sinjar to the mass grave of Yazidis. The CBN News team saw the ruins of the Islamic State after its demise in the city of Mosul. The television news crew spent time with the Kurdish Peshmerga, the brave men and women spearheading the battle against ISIS and they met face-to-face with persecuted Christians and told the world about the awful rise of Christian persecution throughout the Middle East.

A native of the Boston area, Chris earned a B.A. in History at the University of New Hampshire in 1975. In 1987, he graduated with honors from Regent University, earning an M.A. in Communication.

America's Roundtable with US Congressman Derrick Van Orden | A Principled Commitment to Israel | Biden's US Southern Border — An Unmitigated Disaster | Biden Administration Falters on the Economic and Foreign Policy Fronts

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with US Congressman Derrick Van Orden.

Derrick’s journey of public service started when he joined the Navy at the age of 18 and served for 26 years, retiring as a Navy SEAL Senior Chief with 5 combat deployments and several others to troubled areas in the world. His first combat deployment was to Bosnia Herzegovina immediately following the signing of the Dayton Accords. Derrick Van Orden continued his service with multiple combat tours to Afghanistan and Iraq. Additionally, he served in the Horn of Africa, Asia, Europe, and South and Central America. During his tour in Europe in 2012, under the Obama administration, he was responsible for planning Special Operations contingency operations for the European Continent.

Congressman Van Orden understands the significance of freedom and the tremendous cost paid to protect America and its citizens. He lost close colleagues ⏤the tragic killing of his former teammate Ty Woods and fellow SEAL Glen Doherty during the terrorist attack on the embassy annex in Benghazi, Libya.

Congressman Van Orden serves on the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Agriculture, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

Key Topics:

⏤ The national security crisis on America’s southern border, the waves of millions of illegal immigrants entering the United States, and the heavy economic toll on American citizens and taxpayers across the country. Newsweek report: “With illegal immigration now costing $150.7 billion annually, the burden inevitably trickles down to the taxpayer. Individually, the FAIR study found that each illegal alien or their U.S.-born child costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.”

⏤Israel’s war against Iran-backed Hamas and Congressman Derrick Van Orden’s visit to Israel right after October 7, 2023.

⏤ The Iran threat | International Atomic Energy Agency released a report saying Iran “increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023. Iran had increased its output of 60 percent enriched uranium to a rate of about nine kilograms (20 pounds) a month since the end of November [2020]. Enrichment levels of around 90% are required for use in a nuclear weapon.”

⏤ The Biden Administration's pressures on Israel for a ceasefire and the recent announcement of a new White House Executive Order targeting Israeli citizens in the West Bank also known as Judea and Samaria.

⏤ Addressing the Biden administration's failed foreign policies when reviewing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the chaotic withdrawal of the US military from Afghanistan and the Middle East entering a new phase of instability and expanding conflicts.

⏤ US bases in the Middle East under attack | Three American soldiers killed in Jordan | US Navy vessels targeted by Iran-backed Houthi terror group. What is the status of America’s response?

America's Roundtable with Dr. Ben Carson | Israel's War Against Hamas | America's Sacrosanct Ties with Israel | Addressing the Rise of Anti-Semitism

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., America’s 17th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and founder of the American Cornerstone Institute. Dr. Carson is former Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is author of bestselling books: Gifted Hands, Think Big, A More Perfect Union, The Big Picture, America the Beautiful, and Created Equal.

The discussion on America's Roundtable focuses on Israel's war against Iran-backed Hamas, Iran's proxies attacking US facilities, and the significance of America's sacrosanct ties with Israel. Dr. Carson addresses the rise of anti-Semitism in America. The conversation brings to the forefront the successful Abraham Accords and the urgency to hold to account Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.

Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D.

For a time, the likelihood of Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a physician seemed unlikely. Growing up in a single parent home with dire poverty, poor grades, a horrible temper, and low self-esteem appeared to preclude the realization of that dream until his mother, with only a third-grade education, challenged her sons to strive for excellence. She observed successful people and encouraged her sons to emulate their behaviors, including reading. This led to behavior changes which had a profound effect on their education. In 1973, Ben Carson graduated from Yale University. He went on to receive his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School.

At the age of 33, Dr. Carson became the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, making him the youngest major division director in the hospital’s history. This would be among an extensive list of outstanding firsts for Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson’s accomplishments have earned him a place in medical history. He performed the first and only successful separation of craniopagus (Siamese) twins joined at the back of the head in 1987. He also performed the first fully successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa. In his career, Dr. Carson became a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for over 29 years. He became the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name in May 2008. He is now the Emeritus Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. and Dr. Evelyn Spiro, R.N. Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery, having retired on June 30, 2013.

In 2016, Dr. Carson accepted the position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump administration. After completing his tenure as the 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute. This organization is focused on fighting for the principles that have guided him through life and that make this country great: faith, liberty, community and life.
