The Kevin Roberts Show

In the last few decades, higher education has undergone a fundamental transformation. The monk-like scholars once responsible for the education of America's young adults have been replaced, by and large, with woke, self-serving political activists. Classical education, employed by colleges and charter schools across the nation, uses logical reasoning and the great texts of the Western world to educate their pupils and fight the woke mind-virus infecting public education. Dr. Larry Arnn—the twelfth president of Hillsdale College—joins a special episode of The Kevin Roberts Show, filmed at the 50th anniversary of the Heritage Foundation, for a candid discussion about the state of both education and the federal government.

At the core of America lies a set of guiding principles of free enterprise and a strong national defense. Will Ruger — President of the American Institute for Economic Research — joins the show to cast his vision for effectively protecting American interests, its citizens and institutions without needless bloodletting, while securing a future of economic stability.

What does an effective national security policy look like in an ever-changing world? How do conservatives ensure the United States maintains itself as a force for good and bulwark against enemies of freedom like the Chinese Communist Party, without falling into fallacies and approaches that have proven costly or wrong? Joining the show to weigh in is Victoria Coates —senior advisor to the U.S. secretary of energy under President Trump, art historian, and an expert on energy, international affairs, and national security here at Heritage.

Gov. Ron DeSantis joins a special edition of “The Kevin Roberts Show.” On this week's episode... - What DeSantis is doing to empower parents, fight woke corporate interests, and defend life. - How Florida is tackling the climate cartel. - “I don’t like the policies that are going through woke capital and I think that imposing those on society outside the Constitutional system is a problem — we’re not going to be successful as a country if we go down that road.” - Why the next conservative U.S. president must dismantle the administrative state

Woke corporations like Disney & Anheuser-Busch need to wake up. Prioritizing the Left's radical agenda over shareholder interests is costing them billions and alienating everyday Americans.

Enes Freedom dunked on professional basketball to fight for freedom. Join Kevin as the former NBA star shares his inspiring journey of sacrificing his career to advocate for human rights and democracy — a move that even caused his home country of Turkey to place a $500,000 bounty on his head. From TikTok to the Uyghur genocide, the Chinese Communist Party has shown itself as brutal and dangerous. Even still, the goods China produces drive massive revenues here in America. So how can everyday Americans support freedom in China? - How much does the CCP really influence everyday American life? Enes shares his perspective. - Enes loves America so much that he changed his last name to "Freedom" upon becoming a citizen. But what exactly makes America so great, and how can we make it even better? - Despite giving up basketball, family, and his safety, Enes continues defending human rights around the world. What keeps him motivated?

In the current political environment, it may seem dubious to believe that one day 330 million Americans could wake up and believe that they’re part of a civil society that recognizes their dignity as a human person. But it’s not impossible. Daron Babcock believes there is hope. Watch: youtu.be/rIEGFFkpWw8

“The truth is joy comes from the inside. For me, joy starts with my relationship with the Lord. Without that, I don't know how you have joy." This Holy Week, Senator Tim Scott shares an inspiring message about the significance of finding joy in our lives, particularly during difficult times. Mired in poverty and raised in a single-parent household, U.S. Senator Tim Scott says that he is living his mother’s American Dream. Since joining the Senate in 2013, he’s sounded the call for policies, like education freedom and limiting burdensome regulations on small businesses, that bring an abundance of opportunity to every American family.

Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts joined the 2023 Texas Policy Summit to commemorate Texas Independence Day and remind Texans of the importance of self-governance. The biggest policy question facing Texas—and America—today is whether the public school system can provide the next generation of Texans with the skills and values to succeed. Kevin acknowledges that there are forces working against this goal, but emphasizes that this is not a criticism of teachers, who are heroic and committed to their students. Rather, the focus should be on helping young people be educated and successful, rather than perpetuating the system.

Red state governors and lawmakers must be equipped with the resources to advocate for conservative policies.
