Transcribe →The Southern Poverty Law Center Scam | The Kevin Roberts Show with Larry O’Connor
May 1300:33:12Tap to summarizeOnce a legitimate civil rights organization, the SPLC was co-opted by radicals who used media and academia to build fake authority. They branded conservatives like Dr. Kevin Roberts, religious groups, school choice advocates, and everyday Americans as hate groups to silence debate. Finding that there wasn’t enough hate to go around, the SPLC is alleged to have begun manufacturing the extremism they claimed to fight. Dr. Kevin Roberts and co-host Larry O’Connor discuss how and why this happened and why institutional renewal is vital if America is to experience a golden age.This video would not be possible without the generous donors of The Heritage Foundation.

Apr 2200:30:01Tap to summarizeCongress has a historic opportunity to pass another comprehensive reconciliation bill and demonstrate to the American people what a unified conservative majority can achieve heading into the midterms. From fully funding ICE and CBP for years to come, to aggressively slashing waste, fraud, and abuse, this process—which only requires 51 votes in the Senate—is the Right’s best chance to build on the successes of the One Big Beautiful Bill while proving to voters why they should continue trusting conservatives with governing majorities.Be sure to like this video, share it, and subscribe so you never miss a video from Dr. Kevin Roberts!This video would not be possible without the generous donors of The Heritage Foundation.

Make America Creative Again | The Next Frontier with Dr. Kevin Roberts
Apr 700:21:43Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Next Frontier, I'm walking into two of America's most important cultural institutions—The Kennedy Center and the Library of Congress. One was built for performance, the other for preservation. I'm here asking a simple question: What does it take to keep a cultural inheritance alive?If we want great art to remain part of American life, we can't treat institutions like scenery: useful only when they flatter our side. We have to treat them like what they are—an inheritance, and inheritance requires work, maintenance, humility, and willingness to keep the doors open.Dr. Kevin Roberts is the President of The Heritage Foundation.
Transcribe →Liberalism Can’t Save America, Only Destroy It
Apr 100:36:44Tap to summarizeThe American liberal today no longer represents what liberalism once stood for. Rather than the classical understanding of liberalism—guided by Enlightenment philosophy and focused on limited government and individual freedom—the modern American liberal movement is intellectually totalitarian. Dr. Roberts recently made this case at Yale University, arguing that liberalism has failed. In this episode, he and his co-host, Larry O’Connor, take a closer look at those remarks and examine the fundamental differences between conservatives and today’s American liberals. Larry O’Connor is the host of “O’Connor & Company” on WMAL-FM and “LARRY” on Townhall Media. Dr. Kevin Roberts is the president of The Heritage Foundation.
