Congressman Randy Fine on America's Roundtable | Election Integrity | Declining Housing Costs as Illegal Immigrants Deported | US and Israel | Cordon Iran

X: @RepFine @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with U.S. Congressman Randy Fine, member of the House Foreign Relations Committee and the Education and Workforce Committee. He is one of the most effective communicators in Congress in advancing our shared values and principles. A third-generation Floridian, Randy built a career as a successful entrepreneur, founding and running businesses in retail, technology, and hospitality. He has been an active Boy Scout volunteer, serving as both Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. The son of two public school teachers, Randy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in government and later earned his MBA from Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction as one of the youngest Baker Scholars in decades. Congressman Fine also serves as a member of the Freedom Caucus, Republican Study Committee and the Judea and Samaria Caucus. The conversation will explore practical and principled approaches to reducing the cost of housing and healthcare, as well as the critical importance of election integrity, with a strong majority of Americans supporting voter identification requirements, according to Pew Research. Recent studies cited by the White House suggest a correlation between the deportation of individuals residing in the United States illegally and declining housing costs in several major metropolitan areas. The Trump administration noted that "14 of the top 20 U.S. metro areas with the largest undocumented migrant populations experienced year-over-year declines in home listing prices." The discussion also highlights historical immigration enforcement trends. According to published reports, the administration of President Barack Obama formally removed approximately 3 million noncitizens from the United States during his time in office. The program will also examine growing concerns over Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and discuss strategies to prevent the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism from threatening global security and holding the free world hostage. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @RepFine @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

America's Roundtable with Hannah Puder | "Operation Arnon: A Story of Hope and Sacrifice" | Documentary: Israel's daring rescue of four hostages in Gaza

X: @DEFCON_Blonde @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Hannah Puder, a brilliant and courageous filmmaker, producer and director of the newly released documentary "Operation Arnon: A Story of Hope and Sacrifice." The entire film was shot in Israel with footage from Gaza. "Operation Arnon" tells the story of a high-stakes IDF rescue mission to free four hostages from Hamas in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the heart of Gaza. The mission unfolded in broad daylight, under heavy fire, in a densely populated area where Israeli forces previously had not been. Written and directed by Hannah Puder, the film traces the planning, execution, and aftermath of one of the most complex hostage rescues in recent history. Through firsthand accounts from Israeli commanders, intelligence officials, and the family of Chief Inspector Arnon Zmora—who was killed during the operation—it captures the precision, coordination, and risk involved in rescuing four hostages from Hamas on June 8, 2024. The conversation also focuses on how mainstream media reports on the events taking place in the Middle East and specifically as Israel defends its borders and safeguards its citizens including Arabs, Christians and Jews. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @DEFCON_Blonde @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

America's Roundtable with Jan Jekielek | Epoch Times Editor and Author: "Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary"

X: @JanJekielek @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Jan Jekielek, author of "Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary." Jan is Epoch Times senior editor, and host of American Thought Leaders. Jan’s career has spanned academia, international human rights work, and now for almost two decades, media. He has interviewed nearly a thousand thought leaders on camera, and specializes in long-form discussions challenging the grand narratives of our time. He’s also an award-winning documentary filmmaker, producing The Unseen Crisis, DeSantis: Florida vs. Lockdowns, and Finding Manny. About the Book: "Killed to Order: China's Organ Harvesting Industry and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary" A crime the Chinese regime can no longer deny—Forced Organ Harvesting. What if everything you need to understand about the Chinese Communist Party—and how the free world should respond to it—could be explained through this one issue? In this urgent and eye-opening book, journalist Jan Jekielek distills decades of investigations from reputable sources, combined with his own research and in-depth firsthand insight, into a compelling case for rethinking our approach to the CCP. Through the lens of grave human rights abuses—most disturbingly, the state-sanctioned harvesting of organs from prisoners of conscience—Jekielek exposes the inner workings of a regime built on deception, coercion, and control. Killed to Order: The Organ Harvesting Industry of China and the True Nature of America's Biggest Adversary reveals why continuing to misunderstand the CCP poses a growing threat to global freedom. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @JanJekielek @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In April 2026 via AP: WASHINGTON (AP) — White House economists estimate the United States has a shortage of 10 million houses, according to a new report — and say regulatory cuts could lead to more construction to stabilize prices, increase home ownership and fuel faster economic growth. From a UK think tank: New analysis by the Centre for Policy Studies reveals that the UK has a shortage of 6.5 million homes when compared to similar European countries. Britain has just 446 homes per 1,000 people, the second worst rate in Europe. This compares to 560 in France, 516 in Germany, and a European average of 542. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @simonedegale @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Topics Highlighted: The impact of Virginia's gerrymandering on midterm elections. Currently, Virginia's Congressional balance includes 6 Democrats and 5 Republicans. If Democrats prevail on April 21's special election, the slim House Republican majority may very well collapse in November 2026. In fact, The Washington Post's Editorial Board (February 6, 2026) expressed serious concerns: "The self-styled democracy party isn’t behaving democratically.
