Are We Worthy of Washington’s Republic? | The Next Frontier With Dr. Kevin Roberts
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. The question for America 250 is whether we will merely admire the founding or, like Washington, become worthy of it.

How We Take Back the Smithsonian From the Communists
James Smithson left his fortune to America so that she might “increase and diffuse knowledge.” Smithsonian leadership now uses tax dollars to diffuse a Marxist distortion of American history instead. We need a course correction: new board members, new leadership, and exhibits that tell the whole truth—our shared inheritance—without teaching visitors to hate their country.

Why Are Mass Deportations So Important? | The Kevin Roberts Show with Larry O’Connor
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.

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