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.

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. T...

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.

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. In this episode, Dr. Roberts explains how Congress can deliver real accountability in our federal programs, restore trust with the American public, help the vulnerable flourish, and put g...

Western civilization faces an existential threat from mass migration and low birth rates.

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....

The global persecution of Christians is one of today’s most underreported human rights crises. Thousands killed in Nigeria in 2026 alone, with millions facing violence and repression in China, North Korea, and the Middle East. Why the media silence and elite discomfort with acknowledging the plight of Christians? Dr. Kevin Roberts and co-host Larry O’Connor discuss anti-religious bias, totalitaria...

This video would not be possible without the generous donors...

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 the...

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.

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 scener...

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 episo...

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...
