In this address delivered at the Academy of Philosophy and Letters conference on June 5, 2025, Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts lays out a clear and unapologetic roadmap for rebuilding the American republic. The speech—“America’s Golden Age: A Return to the Permanent Things”—calls conservatives to reject the stale, consultant-driven playbook of the past and instead lead with moral clarity, intellectual courage, and unshakable conviction. Dr. Roberts makes the case that our national revival won’t come from Washington, Wall Street, or Silicon Valley—but from Main Street. From families, churches, schools, and communities rooted in timeless truths. This is not a moment for caution. It’s a moment for boldness. For reclaiming our country through the very things that made it great: faith, family, freedom, and ordered liberty.
