America's Roundtable conversation with former U.S. Congressman David Brat focuses on:

— America's economy and steps that could be taken by the incoming Republican leadership in the House to reduce the federal budget by 5% and slash wasteful spending of taxpayer funds.
— A review of 2022 midterm elections.
— Corruption flagged in Ukraine. US Aid to top $91.7 billion as President Joe Biden and the Democrats in the House and Senate push for new aid package to Ukraine.

"If President's Biden's $37.7 billion aid package to Ukraine passes, the U.S. will have spent more on Ukraine than Russia spent on its military in 2021." - Professor Steve Hanke

According to The Wall Street Journal, "Some 83% of respondents described the state of the economy as poor or not so good. More than one-third, or 35%, said they aren’t satisfied at all with their financial situation. That was the highest level of dissatisfaction since NORC began asking the question every few years starting in 1972 as part of the General Social Survey."

The discussion will also bring to the forefront the Biden administration's efforts to loosen up federal patent rules, thus opening the door for high-tech companies backed by the Chinese government to raid American inventions in the highly coveted 5G space.

According to The Washington Examiner, "...three GOP senators are also warning that in watering down intellectual property protections, the administration could be jeopardizing national security at a time when China and other potential foes are outspending the United States on 21st-century technology by a mile.”

This weekend's program will also review the concerns being raised by American citizens and legislators about the Biden Administration's foreign policy follies and the US entering a quagmire in Europe with $40 billion of taxpayer funds designated for Ukraine, while wealthy European nations still remain hesitant about paying their fair share for defense on the continent.
