Episode length: 28m

On this episode of The Next Frontier, Dr. Kevin Roberts visits Mount Vernon with President and CEO Doug Bradburn for an important America 250 conversation about America’s indispensable man—the general who won independence, the Cincinnatus who surrendered power, and the Constitution-maker whose civic virtue still binds the republic—George Washington.

How We Take Back the Smithsonian From the Communists

Episode length: 39m

James Smithson left his fortune to America so that she could “increase and diffuse knowledge.” Smithsonian leadership now uses tax dollars to diffuse a Marxist distortion of American history instead.

Episode length: 37m

Abolish ICE? No, we need more of it. In this week’s episode of The Kevin Roberts Show, Dr. Roberts makes the unapologetic case for mass deportations, the crushing of sanctuary cities, and strengthened worksite enforcement. From self-deportation incentives and the Founders’ vision of citizenship to Europe’s cautionary collapse and the real benefits for American wages, housing, and social cohesion, Dr. Roberts explains why mass deportations are a vital path to restoring the rule of law and saving the nation-state.

Episode length: 25m

The Senate is gearing up for another multi-week vacation before the midterms without passing the crucial and overwhelmingly popular SAVE America Act. Leader Thune and a handful of other senators say there is no path to passage, but in this week’s episode of The Kevin Roberts Show with Larry O’Connor, Dr. Roberts explains why that is simply not true.

Ending Government Waste, Fraud, and Abuse | The Kevin Roberts Show w/Larry O’Connor

The amount of waste, fraud, and abuse plaguing our federal government is staggering. The Left counts success by how many people are receiving federal benefits, while conservatives measure it by how few need them.

The AI Revolution: Pope Leo, Data Centers, China and Human Dignity | The Kevin Roberts Show w/Larry O’Connor

Episode length: 32m

Dr. Kevin Roberts and co-host Larry O’Connor break down Pope Leo XIV’s new AI encyclical Magnifica Humanitas—a modern echo of Rerum Novarum—that demands AI serve human dignity, protect work, and uphold subsidiarity. They examine America’s race against China to lead in AI, the surge of data centers and energy needs, and why ethical guardrails beat both heavy regulation and unchecked transhumanism. Drawing on Heritage Foundation research, Roberts lays out a pro-innovation path that strengthens families, jobs, and moral order while keeping the U.S. ahead of the Chinese Communist Party.

The Southern Poverty Law Center Scam | The Kevin Roberts Show with Larry O’Connor

Episode length: 33m

Once 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.

Why Congress Needs an Ambitious Reconciliation Agenda | The Kevin Roberts Show w/Larry O’Connor

Episode length: 30m

Congress 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.

Who is an American? The Birthright Citizenship Debate | The Kevin Roberts Show w/Larry O’Connor

Episode length: 30m

Who gets to be an American? This week, Dr. Kevin Roberts and co-host Larry O'Connor break down one of the most important debates in America today: birthright citizenship. With President Trump’s executive order challenging automatic citizenship for children born to non-citizens now before the Supreme Court, they explore the original meaning of the 14th Amendment, the rapid rise of birth tourism, its serious national security implications, and the striking statistic that nearly 10% of babies born in the U.S. are to foreign citizens. They also examine how these policies contribute to higher housing costs and labor competition while addressing the deeper question of what it truly means to be an American and how the nation can preserve its sovereignty, rule of law, and national identity.

Make America Creative Again | The Next Frontier with Dr. Kevin Roberts

Episode length: 22m

In 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.

Liberalism Can’t Save America, Only Destroy It

Episode length: 37m

The 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.

The Military Index: A Guidebook for Policymakers | The Kevin Roberts Show with Larry O’Connor

Episode length: 27m

Throughout Biden’s presidency, our military was neglected and underfunded. Since Trump came in office just over a year ago, improvements have already been made to our leadership, systems, investments, and morale, but we know that climbing out from under that former degradation and humiliation of our troops takes time. The Heritage Foundation hopes to build our troops back up through policy-focused initiatives. The military index is a guidebook for policymakers on how to ensure our military is as efficient and prepared as possible. The Trump Administration has made strides in fortifying our troops, but the work isn’t finished. This video would not be possible without our generous donors.
