Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with a special guest and a rising reform leader — Madeline Hart, deployment strategist and defense acquisition historian at Palantir. Madeline Hart is spearheading new initiatives across Palantir’s US Government business, with a focus on Defense and Space. She co-founded Palantir’s First Breakfast publication, which focuses on resurrecting the American industrial base and launched The Defense Reformation in late 2024. In addition to this work, Madeline is a fellow with the Roots of Progress Institute.

Madeline Hart is co-author with Shyam Sankar, Palantir's CTO and executive vice president of the just released book "Mobilize: How to Reboot the American Industrial Base and Stop World War III."

Prior to Palantir, Madeline was the Head of Business Development at Synapse, an AI security and defense company that was acquired by Palantir. She graduated from Harvard University cum laude with a BA in Economics. She lives in NYC with her husband and son.

The conversation focuses on their new book "Mobilize" which is a bold call to arms—to resurrect America's industrial base and win the defense technology race that will define the twenty-first century.

Today, America faces serious threats including the rise of an emboldened China on the economic and security fronts which is exerting global influence with an intent to undermine the rule of law civilization protected by the United States. The future of freedom, national security and prosperity is at stake.

Will America , its taxpayers and elected leaders take on this worthy challenge? Join us on America's Roundtable for a timely and thought-provoking conversation. A must listen for every American!

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Governor Phil Bryant, the State of Mississippi's 64th governor, former lieutenant governor, state auditor, legislator in the Mississippi House of Representatives and chairman of the Southern States Energy Board. Governor Bryant was just appointed by President Trump vice chairman of the President’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Review Council, which is co-chaired by Secretary Kristi Noem of the Department of Homeland Security and Secretary Pete Hegseth of the Department of Defense.

Phil Bryant is a founding member of BSS Global where he provides strategic advice and business development services to some of the world’s largest industry leaders. He serves on the executive advisory board of International Leaders Summit.

America's Roundtable conversation with Governor Bryant brings to the forefront key policies addressed by the Trump administration and Congress including extension of tax cuts through the Big Beautiful Bill, effective immigration policy in blocking illegal immigration, foreign policy of peace through strength, and the most recent data of increased employment. The conversation also addresses concerns of the rise of socialism in America, manifested again with socialist Zohran Mamdani winning the primary election for New York City's Mayor.

Governor Bryant relays a special message to fellow Americans as we celebrate the July 4th, The Independence Day and look forward to the 250th anniversary in 2026.

The timely discussion is focused on President Trump's policies — and their impact on America's citizens, taxpayers, local communities and states.

Magnolia Tribune | Vice President Vance touts ‘Mississippi Miracle,’ calls the education reform “pretty incredible”

Brief excerpt from the article:

“This is pretty incredible,” Vice President Vance wrote on X. “Smart education reform drastically improved Mississippi’s schools.”
The reforms began in 2012 under then-Governor Phil Bryant (R), Lt. Governor Tate Reeves (R) and Speaker Philip Gunn (R).

As previously noted by Laurie Todd-Smith in a 2023 Magnolia Tribune column on the making of the “Mississippi Miracle,” only 33 percent of third graders and 32 percent of 8th graders were reading proficiently on state tests that year. She led the governor’s education policy team and is now the Assistant Secretary for Early Childhood Education at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Bryant presented lawmakers with an education vision titled “Framing Mississippi’s Future” and in 2013, reforms such as the Literacy Based Promotion Act (3rd Grade Reading Gate), the Pre-K Collaborative, the Mississippi Charter School Act, Dyslexia Education Scholarships, and more were passed and signed into law.

Mississippi unites with Israel at Jerusalem Leaders Summit

Jerusalem | Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant bounded on stage and, in his obvious Southern drawl, greeted the guests of the Jerusalem Leaders Summit, which took place last month at the Inbal hotel.

Bryant was presented with the Distinguished Leadership Award for his efforts to strengthen the Israel-U.S. strategic partnership. He is a strong Israel advocate and his emotions were on full display when he addressed the crowd.

“We have so many friends around the world,” he said, “but none as close, and none that I love more than Israel. I am called to be here. Perhaps sometimes we cannot explain exactly why, but that call, that voice, is stronger than any other that we hear, to come to Israel, to Jerusalem, to do what I can to strengthen this relationship.”

The Third Jerusalem Leaders Summit held from Nov. 18-20, proved a unique event featuring leading voices who articulated principled solutions in addressing the 21st-century’s economic concerns, global threats and security challenges.

The parent organization—the International Leaders Summit, co-founded by Joel Anand Samy and Natasha Srdoc—brought together leaders from America, Britain, continental Europe, India and Israel to its inaugural Jerusalem Leaders Summit event in 2015, affirming the rule of law of civilization, based on shared principles and values.

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Mike Bost, Chairman, House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. In the 119th Congress, Rep. Mike Bost serves on two other key committees: Transportation & Infrastructure, and Agriculture.

The conversation on America's Roundtable covers key topics focusing on addressing pressing policy issues impacting American citizens and the challenges emanating from abroad including the China threat which affects the United States and its allies:

— Chairman Mike Bost's leadership role at the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

— Securing America's borders | Addressing the adverse impact of fentanyl on American lives and deporting illegal immigrants involved in acts of crime and violence. Chairman Bost speaks to sheriffs in the Midwest.

— President Donald Trump's economic and security policies — efforts to advance free, fair and reciprocal trade. Chairman Bost provides his insights on the proposed tariffs presented by President Trump.

— Chairman Bost re-introduced the Fighting Trade Cheats Act, legislation to hold China and other bad actors accountable for unfair trade practices that destroy American jobs. His bill takes aim at companies dumping foreign-made goods in U.S. markets by allowing U.S. manufacturers to sue foreign producers for customs fraud. The Fighting Trade Cheats Act will provide necessary updates to America’s existing trade laws and the penalties in place for violating them.

— The 80th anniversary of the end of WWII | Victory in Europe (VE) Day on May 8 and Victory over Japan (VJ) Day on August 15.

— The 80th anniversary of the allies' initial crossing of the River Rhine at Remagen, Germany. The crucial role of America's enterprises during WWII in supporting US troops and the inspiring story of Correct Craft in building boats to cross the River Rhine, the last natural barrier to Berlin. This allowed US troops to advance rapidly — breaking open Germany's defenses and hastening the defeat of the Third Reich. National Geographic later dubbed Correct Craft's incredible work as “A Miracle Production.”

Chairman Bost introduced legislation to increase access to care for veterans through the Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) providers in the community. The Veterans’ Assuring Critical Care Expansions to Support Service members (ACCESS) Act of 2025 would establish existing community care access standards as the baseline standard of care for veterans seeking care in the community, increase access to life-saving treatment programs for veterans with mental health conditions or addiction and expand the list of criteria VA is required to take into account when determining whether it is in a veteran’s best medical interest to refer a veteran to the community to include veteran preference and continuity of care.

Dr. Laffer’s career has been marked by experience and success in business, in public policy, and as an academic economist and professor.
During the 1970s, Dr. Laffer was a consultant to Secretaries of the Treasury George Shultz and William Simon and Chief of Staff and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. He was the first to hold the title of Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget under Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz in the early 1970s.

Dr. Laffer was a member of President Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board for both of his two terms (1981-1989). He also advised Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on fiscal policy in the U.K. during the 1980s.

Dr. Laffer’s economic acumen and influence in triggering a world-wide tax-cutting movement in the 1980s have earned him the distinction in many publications as “The Father of Supply-Side Economics.” His Laffer Curve is one of the main theoretical constructs of supply-side economics.

Dr. Laffer was an economic advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. In 2019, President Trump awarded DR. Laffer with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his contributions in the field of economics.

He has received numerous awards and recognition for his economic work and authored a number of books, including the End of Prosperity: How Higher Taxes Will Doom the Economy—If We Let it Happen, and most recently Return to Prosperity and Trumponomics.

Dr. Laffer currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee where he is the founder and chairman of Laffer Associates, an institutional economic research and consulting firm.

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:

1. 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.

2. 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._"

1. 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.

2. Focusing on the concerns raised by Michigan's voters and the swing state's influence on the presidential election.

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.
