#99 | Time to Destroy the Deep State | Kevin Roberts and The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton

Subscribe to The Kevin Roberts Show with Larry O’ConnorSubscribe

"Fire the bureaucrats and close the agencies!" The Telegraph’s Steven Edginton sits down with Kevin to discuss the state of conservatism in America, President Biden, the Blob, and the urgency of courageous leadership. Will the U.S. elect a president with the tenacity needed to “punch the nose” of the deep state?

“We believe at Heritage that a conservative, whether it’s President Trump or someone else in the field, will replace President Biden, thank goodness, and it isn’t enough for whoever that is to govern [as a] conservative. Tactically they have to wake up every day and say, what part of the American administrative state am I going to destroy today? Not reform, not modify, not tweak, destroy; fire the bureaucrats, close agencies, end, as is my pet project, the U.S. Department of Education.

“If [Republicans] don’t have the backbone like Lady Thatcher, like President Reagan, to stand up to the Blob and to destroy it, we will lose America. Every tactic has to be oriented around that goal.”
