Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) 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 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhPV5hsp22A 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.
