Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Benjamin S. Carson, Sr. M.D., one of America's most principled leaders, a brilliant mind, and a champion of freedom. Dr. Ben Carson is the founder and chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute, the 17th U.S. Secretary of the Department of Housing and Development, and former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
The conversation focuses on:
*  Domestic and foreign policy initiatives with a review on the successes of the second Trump Administration.
*  The importance of faith, family and patriotism in protecting our freedoms in America.
*  The ills of marxism and socialism and their manifestation in America.
*  Expanding homeownership and reigniting the American Dream.
*  Affirming Israel's sovereignty and protecting Jewish communities in the West.
Our conversation also highlights Dr. Ben Carson's must-read book "The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family."
Quote from Dr. Ben Carson's book, "The Perilous Fight": 
"The perilous fight" was penned by Francis Scott Key in the midst of a most difficult and pivotal moment in our nation's history when twenty British ships bombarded Fort McHenry from the Baltimore Harbor. It was on the morning of September 14, 1814 that Francis Scott Key wrote about the ramparts, and the land of the free and the home of the brave which inspired a nation and became a rallying victory call. 
“The perilous fight—those words arrest my attention whenever I place my right hand over my heart and face the flag at the playing of our national anthem. They are a reminder that America was born in a crucible of fire. Freedom was not given freely but had to be fought for and defended.” ~ Dr. Ben Carson    
Biography | Dr. Ben Carson 
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.
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. 
Dr. Carson and his wife, Candy Carson, co-founded the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. The organization has awarded more than 11,000 scholarships and paid out more than $8.9 million in scholarships. The Carson Scholars Fund is currently operating in 50 states and the District of Columbia, and since its founding, has installed more than 270 Ben Carson Reading Rooms around the country. 
In 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute (ACI), a conservative think tank centered around advancing policies that promote “faith, liberty, community, and life.”
Dr. and Mrs. Carson reside in Florida. They are the proud parents of three sons and three daughters-in-law, and blessed grandparents of eight grandchildren.

The American Cornerstone Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2021 by Dr. Ben Carson that focuses on advancing America’s founding principles of faith, liberty, community, and life.

<p>Join <a href="https://americasrt.com/" rel="nofollow">America&#39;s Roundtable</a> radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Benjamin S. Carson, Sr. M.D., one of America&#39;s most principled leaders, a brilliant mind, and a champion of freedom. Dr. Ben Carson is the founder and chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute, the 17th U.S. Secretary of the Department of Housing and Development, and former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.</p>

<p>The conversation focuses on:</p>

<ul>
<li> Domestic and foreign policy initiatives with a review on the successes of the second Trump Administration.</li>
<li> The importance of faith, family and patriotism in protecting our freedoms in America.</li>
<li> The ills of marxism and socialism and their manifestation in America.</li>
<li> Expanding homeownership and reigniting the American Dream.</li>
<li> Affirming Israel&#39;s sovereignty and protecting Jewish communities in the West.</li>
</ul>

<p>Our conversation also highlights Dr. Ben Carson&#39;s must-read book &quot;The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture&#39;s War on the American Family.&quot;</p>

<p>Quote from Dr. Ben Carson&#39;s book, &quot;The Perilous Fight&quot;: <br>
&quot;The perilous fight&quot; was penned by Francis Scott Key in the midst of a most difficult and pivotal moment in our nation&#39;s history when twenty British ships bombarded Fort McHenry from the Baltimore Harbor. It was on the morning of September 14, 1814 that Francis Scott Key wrote about the ramparts, and the land of the free and the home of the brave which inspired a nation and became a rallying victory call. </p>

<p>“<em>The perilous fight—those words arrest my attention whenever I place my right hand over my heart and face the flag at the playing of our national anthem. They are a reminder that America was born in a crucible of fire. Freedom was not given freely but had to be fought for and defended.</em>” ~ Dr. Ben Carson    </p>

<p>Biography | Dr. Ben Carson </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>Dr. Carson and his wife, Candy Carson, co-founded the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. The organization has awarded more than 11,000 scholarships and paid out more than $8.9 million in scholarships. The Carson Scholars Fund is currently operating in 50 states and the District of Columbia, and since its founding, has installed more than 270 Ben Carson Reading Rooms around the country. </p>

<p>In 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute (ACI), a conservative think tank centered around advancing policies that promote “faith, liberty, community, and life.”</p>

  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with
the Honorable Benjamin S. Carson, M.D. focusing on America's biggest problems with an emphasis on presenting principled solutions. 
Dr. Ben Carson is a bestselling author, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, the former director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins, and the Founder and Chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute. Dr. Carson and his wife, Candy Carson, co-founded the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments that is currently operating in 50 states and the District of Columbia. 
America's Roundtable conversation with Dr. Ben Carson includes the following key topics:
1) America's public education is failing America's childrden. Role of school choice | Successful models — charter schools and homeschooling.
2) The significance of equal justice under the rule of law. Political and government intereference in America's justice system.
3) Inflation and Economy.
4) Biden administration's Open Border policy and the invasion of illegal immigrants endangering the United States of America. Illegal immigrants voting in Washington D.C. and local elections in California, Maryland and Vermont. Why are illegal immigrants included in the US Census - to apportion a greater number of seats of Sanctuary cities/states to the US Congress?
5) Israel's right to self-defense against Iran-backed terrorist organization Hamas. Biden administration's failed foreign policy in the Middle East and the dangers of changing the US-Israel steadfast policy.
The conversation on America's Roundtable focuses on the mission of American Cornerstone Institute and Dr. Ben Carson's forthcoming book with Candy Carson which hits the bookshelves on May 14 titled, "The Perilous Fight: Overcoming Our Culture's War on the American Family." (https://www.amazon.com/Perilous-Fight-Overcoming-Cultures-American/dp/0310368375)
The publisher of Dr. Ben Carson's new book, Zondervan writes: 
Like many of us, Dr. Ben Carson fears we are losing the country we love. In this provocative and ultimately hopeful book, he gives us the facts, inspiration, and theory-to-action answers we need to restore a key foundation of America: the family. 
The Perilous Fight equips us to understand: 
— The hard data behind the breakdown of the family and its effects on our society, including poverty, crime, and deteriorating education. 
— The core biblical beliefs that led our nation into unprecedented freedom and prosperity--and why abandoning those beliefs led to the social decline we see today. 
— The fresh ideas and public policy options that could reverse negative trends impacting the family while maintaining a balance between constitutional freedoms and governmental involvement.
The American Cornerstone Institute (ACI) was founded by world-renowned neurosurgeon and 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. After serving our nation and the American people faithfully for four years, Dr. Carson is ensuring there is an organization fighting for the principles that have guided him through life, and that make this country great: Faith, Liberty, Community, and Life. Dr. Carson has proven through his example and policy making that solutions guided by the principles of faith, liberty, community, and life are effective, and will point our nation toward the common good. Throughout his life, Dr. Carson has broken through barriers and has paved major roads in our political arena, both in Washington, D.C. and in communities across the country, and he’s not stopping now. A champion for logic and common sense solutions, Dr. Carson will always stay true to his principles and his faith, which guide ACI through this volatile time in our nation.

  <description>Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) 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.
Dr. Ben Carson presents principled solutions to the challenges on the domestic and foreign fronts.
We discuss concerns about the American Dream (only 36% of voters in a new Wall Street Journal/NORC survey said the American dream still holds true), Israel's war against Iran-backed Hamas, Iran's proxies attacking US facilities, US-China relations, and America's education in crisis. 
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.

    <![CDATA[<p>Join <a href="https://americasrt.com/" rel="nofollow">America&#39;s Roundtable</a> 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.</p>

<p>Dr. Ben Carson presents principled solutions to the challenges on the domestic and foreign fronts.</p>

<p>We discuss concerns about the American Dream (only 36% of voters in a new Wall Street Journal/NORC survey said the American dream still holds true), Israel&#39;s war against Iran-backed Hamas, Iran&#39;s proxies attacking US facilities, US-China relations, and America&#39;s education in crisis. </p>

<p><strong>Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D.</strong></p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

  <description>Honorable Carla Sands, U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands (2017-2021) and a U.S. Senate candidate for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania joins America's Roundtable Radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation focusing on the U.S. soaring inflation, growing concerns of an impending recession, the urgency of restoring America's energy independence and significance of empowering parents and children through school choice and charter schools. 
As the Biden administration pushes for an Iran nuclear deal in Vienna, the discussion will also highlight the fact that an agreement with the state sponsor of terrorism will give Tehran access to some $100 billion in frozen funds.  These dangerous developments including a nuclear-armed Iran raise the risk of a potential Middle East crisis impacting the region and beyond. Concerns are raised about the $40 billion Ukraine aid being rushed through Congress without greater oversight of spending.
As America's top diplomat to Denmark, a NATO and European Union member state, Ambassador Sands was instrumental in blocking the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline running under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. During Ambassador Sands tenure, Denmark increased its defense spending, while U.S. exports to the Kingdom of Denmark rose over 43%, resulting in the creation of additional jobs in America.
Prior to her appointment as America's top diplomat to the European Union member state, Ambassador Sands had a diverse career in the entrepreneurial, investment, and philanthropic sectors, with a focus on real estate, community service and education. As Chairman of Vintage Capital Group, she also served on President Trump’s Transition Finance Committee and Economic Advisory Council in 2016, and was the California Delegate for the 33rd Congressional District to the 2016 Republican National Convention.

  <description>America's Roundtable, co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy are joined by Virginia Walden Ford, a pioneer of America's school choice movement and a patriotic leader transforming our nation's educational system. Few leaders in our time have risked so much to boldly stand for principles and counter the wave of strong opposition brought forth by politicians in our nation's capital, lobbyists and the powerful teacher unions. 
Virginia Walden Ford's inspiring journey and her principled leadership is paving the way for new states to embrace school choice and empower parents. Her message will inspire audiences, and in fact, her story is shared through a feature film titled "Miss Virginia.” "Miss Virginia" is a major motion picture starring Uzo Aduba, Matthew Modine, Niles Fitch, Vanessa Williams, and a spectacular ensemble cast. Watch Miss Virginia on Netflix, iTunes or Amazon today. 
The Reason magazine writes: “The new movie Miss Virginia is based on the unlikely story of Virginia Walden Ford, who, as a single mother in Washington, D.C., in the early 2000s, fought to create a federally-funded private school voucher program that would allow poor kids—including her son—to escape failing public schools. Against long odds and institutional hostility, she succeeded and is played with fiery passion by Orange Is the New Black's Uzo Aduba. Matthew Modine, known for roles in Full Metal Jacket, Weeds, and Stranger Things, co-stars as a sympathetic congressman who helps win congressional authorization for the program.”

Our conversation analyzes Virginia's 2021 Gubernatorial election with Republicans wining three top statewide offices in Virginia and flipping the House of Delegates, wider implications of this election for the next midterm eletions and issues that Americans are mostly concerned with.  
George Allen served the Commonwealth of Virginia for more than 20 years, as governor, in both bodies of the United States Congress, and as a delegate holding Thomas Jefferson’s seat in the Virginia General Assembly.
Sworn in as governor in 1994, George Allen brought sweeping reform that made Virginia a national model in economic development, public safety, education accountability, and creative government. As a self-described “Common Sense Jeffersonian Conservative,” Allen pushed through cutting edge reform with bipartisan support in a legislature held by the opposition.
Mr. Allen holds an undergraduate degree and law degree from the University of Virginia. Elected to the United States Senate in 2000, George Allen continued to make America and Virginia a leader in innovation and technology. 
Mr. Allen currently serves as the President of George Allen Strategies, a consulting firm founded by Mr. Allen, and has served on the board of directors for technology companies, including Lee Technologies, nanoRisk Assessment and Material Intellect, Inc.

  <description>The Honorable Kimberly Yee, State Treasurer of Arizona joins co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a timely conversation on her leadership and the decisive actions taken in affirming Israel's sovereignty, supporting the Jewish State's economic future, and the efforts to invest in Israeli bonds. The discussion will also focus on concerns about rising inflation impacting families across America and the federal government's efforts to monitor personal bank accounts which will require new reporting procedures, threaten taxpayer privacy and further burden community financial institutions. The discussion will focus on advancing principled solutions.
Kimberly Yee, Arizona State Treasurer (https://www.aztreasury.gov/treasurer-kimberly-yee)
— Divestment of $143 million from Ben &amp;amp; Jerry’s for boycotting Israel. 
— Arizona invests in Israeli Bonds.
— Rising inflation hurting families, with the greatest toll on America's poorest communities including the working poor and single family households.
—23 State Treasurers and auditors and financial officers oppose a Biden administration proposal that empowers the IRS to monitor American bank accounts. In light of the pushback from citizens, joined by government officials and legislators, the original proposal of surveillance personal bank accounts of more than $600 of deposited funds, the Biden administration has raised the amount to $10,000.
— Discussing the impact of pro-growth solutions in Arizona, and how the rest of America can fuel greater rates of economic growth through principled economic reforms, supporting free enterprise and unleashing economic liberty.

  <description>The Honorable Maurice McTigue joins co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a timely conversation in addressing America's failing public schools and the urgency to address fiscal responsibility in Washington, DC, by advancing a transparent budget process, and requiring the passing of an annual budget by law. The discussion focused on advancing principled solutions.
— America's Failing Schools | In 2018, America ranked 11th out of 79 countries in science and 30th in math.
“The U.S. economy would grow 4.5% in the next 20 years if our students’ math and science skills were as strong as the rest of the world’s." 
Eric A. Hanushek, economist, Hoover Institution at Stanford University
— America's national debt at $28 trillion.
"I do not believe the debt overhang is the real problem. I believe the real problem is government spending. Government debt is a problem in the long run. Obviously, if the government continues to run deficits for a long period of time, it will sooner or later have to monetize them. So I do not deny that is a real problem. However, it is a mistake to concentrate on the debt as such instead of concentrating on why the debt was created, which is by excessive government spending. What is called a deficit is a form of taxation. It is a very bad form of taxation, but it is a form of taxation. However, it does have some good features. The deficit is the only thing that is keeping spending from going up still faster. Moreover, I do not know of any component of government expenditures that does less harm than the payment of interest. If interest rates tomorrow were zero so that government did not have to pay any interest, what would happen to the money it saved? Do you think it would reduce the deficit? You are kidding yourself.
"Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate in Economics
The Honorable Maurice McTigue, QSO, is Vice President for Outreach at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and a founding Executive Advisory Board Member of the US-based International Leaders Summit.
McTigue has testified on Capitol Hill and published articles in many major media outlets, including the New York Times, the Atlantic, Bloomberg Businessweek, US News &amp;amp; World Report, and the Chicago Tribune.
McTigue advised the Office of Management and Budget and most federal agencies in the Clinton and Bush administrations on issues of accountability and transparency and has consulted with legislators and governors in more than 30 states. McTigue was a special advisor to Louisiana’s Commission on Streamlining Government and was named to Virginia governor Bob McDonnell’s Commission on Government Reform and Restructuring.
A former cabinet minister and member of parliament in his native New Zealand, McTigue was one of the architects of the “New Zealand miracle,” which dramatically reformed the country’s government and economy by implementing market-driven, pro-growth policies. He later became New Zealand’s ambassador to Canada.
In a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 1999, Queen Elizabeth II bestowed upon McTigue the prestigious Queen’s Service Order, in recognition of his public service. This is one of the highest honors attainable for civil service in New Zealand.

    <![CDATA[<p>The Honorable Maurice McTigue joins co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a timely conversation in addressing America&#39;s failing public schools and the urgency to address fiscal responsibility in Washington, DC, by advancing a transparent budget process, and requiring the passing of an annual budget by law. The discussion focused on advancing principled solutions.</p>

<p>— America&#39;s Failing Schools | In 2018, America ranked 11th out of 79 countries in science and 30th in math.</p>

<p>“<em>The U.S. economy would grow 4.5% in the next 20 years if our students’ math and science skills were as strong as the rest of the world’s.</em>&quot; <br>
Eric A. Hanushek, economist, Hoover Institution at Stanford University</p>

<p>— America&#39;s national debt at $28 trillion.</p>

<p>&quot;<em>I do not believe the debt overhang is the real problem. I believe the real problem is government spending. Government debt is a problem in the long run. Obviously, if the government continues to run deficits for a long period of time, it will sooner or later have to monetize them. So I do not deny that is a real problem. However, it is a mistake to concentrate on the debt as such instead of concentrating on why the debt was created, which is by excessive government spending. What is called a deficit is a form of taxation. It is a very bad form of taxation, but it is a form of taxation. However, it does have some good features. The deficit is the only thing that is keeping spending from going up still faster. Moreover, I do not know of any component of government expenditures that does less harm than the payment of interest. If interest rates tomorrow were zero so that government did not have to pay any interest, what would happen to the money it saved? Do you think it would reduce the deficit? You are kidding yourself.</em><br>
&quot;Milton Friedman, Nobel Laureate in Economics</p>

<p>The Honorable Maurice McTigue, QSO, is Vice President for Outreach at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and a founding Executive Advisory Board Member of the US-based International Leaders Summit.</p>

<p>McTigue has testified on Capitol Hill and published articles in many major media outlets, including the New York Times, the Atlantic, Bloomberg Businessweek, US News &amp; World Report, and the Chicago Tribune.</p>

<p>McTigue advised the Office of Management and Budget and most federal agencies in the Clinton and Bush administrations on issues of accountability and transparency and has consulted with legislators and governors in more than 30 states. McTigue was a special advisor to Louisiana’s Commission on Streamlining Government and was named to Virginia governor Bob McDonnell’s Commission on Government Reform and Restructuring.</p>

  <description>Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for an in-depth conversation with Honorable Betsy DeVos who served as the 11th U.S. Secretary of Education. Secretary DeVos has been involved in education policy for nearly three decades as an advocate for children and a voice for parents.
For 15 years, DeVos served as an in-school mentor for at-risk children in the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Public Schools. Her interactions there with students, families and teachers, according to DeVos, "changed my life and my perspective about education forever." A leader in the movement to empower parents, DeVos has worked to support the creation of new educational choices for students in 25 states and the District of Columbia.
Betsy DeVos is the former Chairman of The Windquest Group, a privately held investment and management firm based in Michigan with a diversified consumer product and service portfolio.

On January 20, 2021, The President's Advisory 1776 Commission unveiled a strategic report as it relates to educating our youth on America's founding and the profound lessons of the American Republic. President Donald J. Trump commissioned the group to prepare a report that would better enable America’s rising generations to understand the history and principles of our nation’s founding.
The timely and relevant 1776 Report presents an accurate and dependable framework to the false narrative pushed by the 1619 project which was funded by The New York Times.  Historians from the wide spectrum of America's landscape have debunked the 1619 project.
‘So wrong in so many ways” is how Gordon Wood, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the American Revolution, characterized the New York Times ’s “1619 Project.” James McPherson, dean of Civil War historians and another Pulitzer winner, said the Times presented an “unbalanced, one-sided account” that “left most of the history out.” —   The Wall Street Journal,  The ‘1619 Project’ Gets Schooled

  <description>Listen to America's Roundtable co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with special guest Virginia Walden Ford — a leading advocate and champion for school choice in America. While she was raising her three children in Washington, D.C., Virginia was shocked that so many children were forced to attend failing, crumbling schools simply because they lived in the “wrong” ZIP codes.  Virginia Walden Ford then founded a grassroots movement in Washington, DC,  that led to the passage of the "Opportunity Scholarship Program" for low-income children in Washington, DC. Today, her efforts are bringing hope to children and parents especially within the Black and Hispanic communities and inspiring parents.

About Virginia Walden Ford - From Miss Virginia Movie (https://www.missvirginiamovie.com):
“Being a part of this fight for educational excellence was hard — certainly something I had never thought I’d be involved in — but when I looked at my children and my neighbors’ children, I felt compelled to continue. It was scary sometimes, but I believed then and I believe now that it was the right thing to do… for all of our kids.” — Virginia Walden Ford
MISS VIRGINIA is inspired by the story of Virginia Walden Ford, a struggling single mother from a low-income neighborhood in Washington, DC. Affectionately called “Miss Virginia” and “the Education Lady” by neighborhood children, Virginia fought to create a scholarship program for her at-risk son and children like him. And she won.
Virginia grew up in the deep South. Her world changed when the Supreme Court decided the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education, which famously concluded that “separate educational facilities” for white and black children were “inherently unequal.”
Virginia’s fight for her son and other at-risk kids forced her to become a warrior. She had to overcome deep inner doubts about whether she could actually do what she had set out to do — and almost crippling fear that she would let down the parents and kids whose hopes and dreams depended on her.
In 2004, after years of activism, Virginia secured legislation that gave thousands of impoverished, largely minority children access to safe, high-quality schools. Many have since gone on to college and rewarding careers, an outcome that would have been unimaginable without the educational boost Virginia’s law provided.
Now, MISS VIRGINIA captures Virginia’s indomitable spirit on screen. The film will inspire audiences to do their utmost to secure their children’s essential civil right—the right to an education.
