Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with John Catsimatidis, a leading national business figure and senior lay leader in the Greek Orthodox Church community.

John Catsimatidis is the Chairman and CEO, The Red Apple Group and Owner of the Iconic 77 WABC Radio in New York City. The Red Apple Group is a conglomerate that owns and operates assets in the energy, real estate, finance, insurance, and supermarket industries. 77 WABC Radio is heard in 50 states and 173 countries. John is the author of Wall Street Journal Bestseller and Publishers Weekly Bestseller — “How Far Do You Want to Go: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire.”

As a leading American entrepreneur, John Catsimatidis will provide insights into the state of the US economy as inflation drops, nationwide gas prices fall under $2.80 per gallon and rent prices coming down. John will explain how free market principles applied by House Republicans in Congress with President Trump's "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill" will cut taxes for Americans earning under $50,000 by 14.9%.

John will also highlight the benefits for 4 million tipped workers like waitresses, barbers, hairstylists, and taxi drivers who will not pay taxes on tips. For those working overtime - once again, this group of hard-working Americans will not be taxed on overtime. A major savings and great benefit for senior citizens who will not have to pay taxes on social security.

Natasha Srdoc and John Catsimatidis discuss key economic data of economic growth rates and how changes at the Federal Reserve Bank may usher in an era of lower interest rates that will further help working families.

Joel Anand and John Catsimatidis discuss the major fraud and money laundering unveiled in Minnesota with federal taxpayer funds abused.

According to published reports: "A Minnesota safety net program was so easy to scam, it attracted tourists, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said Thursday. The extent of fraud in Minnesota human services programs — which has become infamous across the country — is even higher than the public knew. Providers in 14 “high-risk,” state-run Medicaid programs being audited by the state have billed $18 billion since 2018, and “half or more” is possibly fraudulent, Thompson said."

The conversation on America's Roundtable will also focus on the horrific terrorist attack in Sydney, Australia, with 15 innocent civilians murdered and over 40 injured as the Jewish community gathered for the first day of Hanukkah. The brazen manifestation of anti-Semitism in the West, including America is brought to the forefront.

The concerns of the waves of socialism battering America will be highlighted as the Democratic Party becomes more influenced by the Democratic Socialist Party's agenda which pushes communism and socialism, dangerous ideologies that have failed and left billions of people around the world in poverty.

The conversation will also bring to the forefront economic forecasts for 2026 and what Americans can expect in the New Year.

America's Roundtable with John Catsimatidis | New Confidence for America and the World | Meeting with President-Elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago | Author: "How Far Do You Want to Go?: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire."

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 08:00:00 -0500

John Catsimatidis shares his concerns about the challenges faced in key cities across America including New York City and how ill-advised policies have led people to leave one of America's greatest cities.

Unfortunately, the legislative measure was not included in the final major legislation of the 118th Congress - the Continuing Resolution. First responders, state and community leaders have emphasized AM radio’s critical role in addressing emergencies.

America's Roundtable Conversation with Congressman Doug Lamborn | American Leadership: The Significance of Peace Through Strength and Principled Diplomacy

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 16:00:00 -0400

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Chairman Doug Lamborn, Strategic Forces Subcommittee, U.S. House Committee on Armed Services discussing the policy issues impacting America's national defense and the nation's security partnership with trusted allies.

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.

America's Roundtable | US Congressman Doug Lamborn | Israel at War | US Leadership in the Middle East — A Region Facing Significant Instability

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Doug Lamborn, chairman, Strategic Forces Subcommittee, member, House Armed Services Committee and co-chair, The Congressional Israel Allies Caucus.

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.

— Congressman Ronny Jackson raises concerns about how the drug cartels and transnational organized crime networks are reaping huge profits from drug and human trafficking at the US southern border.

— Congressman Ronny Jackson reintroduces the bipartisan, bicameral Foreign Adversary Risk Management (FARM) Act.

The conversation also focuses on the high cost of energy and America's leadership on the world stage. John Catsimatidis also shares about his recent conversation with former President Donald J. Trump aired on 77 WABC radio.

New York Post | Carmakers’ unsafe, un-American push to eliminate AM radio

"But some automotive makers — Ford among them — want to eliminate the AM option in all gas-powered and electric 2024 models. The move isn’t only un-American — it’s just plain dumb. AM radio is undisputedly the most reliable form of communication during emergencies. And it’s not only small markets that depend on getting crucial information out via the airwaves — every major city uses AM alerts during manmade and natural disasters." — John Catsimatidis, Op-Ed | The New York Post

Ambassador Ken Blackwell on Biden-Harris Speech | The Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. | Critical Race Theory

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 09:00:00 -0500

On America's Roundtable, co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy are joined by Ambassador Kenneth Blackwell, former Mayor of Cincinnati, State Treasurer and Secretary of State of Ohio, and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Ambassador Blackwell responds to President Biden’s and Vice President Harris’s speech in Atlanta this past week and will share details about the written statement that he co-authored with Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In this weekend's program on America's Roundtable, Ambassador Ken Blackwell will also highlight Dr. Martin King Luther's legacy and what he would have stated about Critical Race Theory (CRT).

Brief excerpts from the piece written by Ambassador Ken Blackwell and Dr. Alveda King published by America First Policy Institute:

"We were deeply involved in the wars that started and ended the Civil Rights movement in this country. The President and Vice President’s misguided insistence on the ignorant, false claim that America is somehow stuck in the 1960s is disgusting, dangerous, and an affront to all the sacrifices and great successes this country’s brave Civil Rights pioneers made. In fact, it is grotesquely offensive to compare segregated lunch counters, attack dogs, firehoses, and Bull Connor, to showing a photo ID to vote. Simply proving you are who you say you are to cast a ballot is fundamental to election security. Period. Eighty-five percent of Americans agree and want photo identification requirements for voters.

President Biden and Vice President Harris claim they want to defend the Constitution but then ignore our founding document’s clear language that gives state legislatures the rights and responsibilities to decide how they conduct elections. Do you really think the same inept federal government that left Americans stranded in Afghanistan, completely botched the COVID response, cannot secure our border, and raised the costs of food and gas is the same government that should run your elections? This Administration’s insulting publicity stunt seeks to divide this nation on racial lines when what we need is leadership that respects the human dignity of all. The Freedom to Cheat Act is a plague on this country and no amount Biden and Harris’ blatant lies, half-truths and hyperbole will change that."

Ken Blackwell served as the mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio, and was also elected to serve as the Treasurer and Secretary of State for the State of Ohio. Blackwell also currently serves as a Senior Fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance at the Family Research Council, Chairman of America First Policy Institute’s (AFPI) Center for Election Integrity and Executive Advisory Board Member of International Leaders Summit.

He serves on the Board of Directors for the Near East News Agency, and the Institute for Pension Fund Integrity. Blackwell was formerly the United States Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission.

After receiving both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Xavier University, Blackwell became a professor there for many years. He enjoys Hermeneutics, hunting, and traveling the world with his wife of 53 years.

Secretary Ben Carson | Opportunity Zones Incentives Creating Jobs | Safely Reopening Schools | US Economy

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Sun, 02 Aug 2020 11:00:00 -0400

Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary, Housing and Urban Development, joins America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy to discuss the impact of the opportunity zones across the United States where 35 million Americans reside. The Opportunity Zones incentive, created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was designed to spur economic development and job creation by encouraging long-term investments in low-income communities nationwide. As America begins its path of economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, this initiative is a unique endeavor to fuel job creation and economic growth.

The conversation also highlights the importance of focusing on the science and real data from around the world when addressing the concerns about the coronavirus pandemic which originated in Wuhan, China. Dr. Carson brings to the table his experiences as a medical professional, a longtime Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, a position which he held since the age of 33.

Dr. Ben Carson presents ideas and solutions, emphasizing the guidelines provided by the administration and best practices outlined in order to safely reopen schools across America. Over 50 million students from K-12 grade have been impacted by the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Greater concerns are raised as some states and school districts are pushing back on safely reopening schools. While virtual education may help a certain group of students, these efforts may further marginalize the over 43% of children from lower income families lacking access to digital devices and the 15% of U.S. households with school-age children who do not have a high-speed internet connection at home. Schools insisting on virtual education are ignoring the digital divide. This may adversely affect low-income families and specifically children from the Black, Hispanic and rural areas.

— The Opportunity Zones incentive, created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, was designed to spur economic development and job creation by encouraging long-term investments in low-income communities nationwide. Nearly 35 million Americans live in the more than 8,700 Opportunity Zones across the country.

—The Secretary was just in Charleston, SC for an Opportunity Zone focused event with Senator Scott to discuss a new rule from the Treasury to drive more capital in underserved communities.

—273 action items have been completed by the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council as of the end of April. This list is available at OpportunityZones.gov. Each of these action items helps further the Council’s mission of complementing private Qualified Opportunity Fund investment.

—The rate of infection among younger schoolchildren and from students to teachers has been low, especially if proper precautions are followed. There have also been few reports of children being the primary source of COVID-19 transmission among family members. That’s where the data currently stands.

Kellyanne Conway | Safely Reopening Schools | Healthcare Reform | Opioid Crisis | Insulin Price Reduction for Seniors

Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 11:00:00 -0400

Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President at The White House provides a timely and relevant update on safely and prudently reopening schools in America. President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and the First Lady Melania Trump held a strategic event at the White House with major stakeholders in the education sphere including state, local, and tribal leaders, educators, and families. Over 50 million American students from K-12 have been impacted by the stay-at-home orders and school shutdowns. Kellyanne Conway conveys concerns about the wellbeing of the forgotten child and highlights challenges including the digital divide adversely affecting low income families.

Kellyanne Conway also shared about the vital healthcare initiatives and reform efforts that President Trump’s administration has been working on - to make healthcare accessible, affordable and transparent for American patients and taxpayers, including:

President Trump’s “Executive Order on Improving Price and Quality Transparency in American Healthcare to Put Patients First” which was signed in June 2019;
The most recent victory, with the federal court upholding the Trump administration’s hospital price transparency which requires hospitals to disclose secret rates they negotiate with insurance companies;
Lowering insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries, whereby common forms of insulin will be available to seniors at no more than $35 for a month’s supply;
Addressing opioid crisis and passing Support Act, which Kellyanne considers to be the most robust and significant bipartisan accomplishment of the President’s first term.
