The Kevin Roberts Show

In the midst of Biden's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, 13 Americans were killed outside Kabul's Karzai International Airport. Since then, a humanitarian catastrophe has swept the country and the Biden administration has failed to take accountability for the likely avoidable airport tragedy. After 20 years of fighting, and thousands of soldiers killed in action, Biden sold out Afghanistan to the Taliban with a stroke of his pen. In the wake of the U.S. withdrawal, millions of Afghanis are at risk of persecution by the Taliban and Al-Qaeda has a fertile breeding ground once again.Jorge Hidalgo, the gold star parent of 1st Lt. Daren Hidalgo, is the latest guest on The Kevin Roberts Show. Daren, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, was stationed in Afghanistan when his unit was stumbled into an improvised explosive device (IED) that resulted in Daren being killed in action.The courageous sacrifice of soldiers like Daren is what keeps our nation safe. But the shameful actions of the Biden administration undermine the sacrifices made by Daren and the thousands of others who safeguard our freedoms. Hosted on Acast.

In 2019, the University of Pennsylvania's swim team informed its female athletes that Lia Thomas, a man formerly known as William Thomas, would be competing alongside them. But the consequences of the university's decision wouldn't be limited to unfair competition. Although Thomas' teammates were told he would use separate locker-room facilities, he was instead allowed to use the same locker-room as the rest of the team, subjecting the all-female group to changing clothes in front of a man. This incident, and the University of Pennsylvania's intense crackdown on dissent, sparked many of its athletes to come forward and advocate for the future of women's sports.Paula Scanlan, a former University of Pennsylvania swimmer and teammate of Thomas, is the latest guest on The Kevin Roberts Show. Inspired by the injustice that she and her fellow Penn teammates suffered, Scanlan now spends her time making sure that the future of women's sports is safe, and that no one has to go through her experience ever again.Despite being part of the most pessimistic generation in American history, Scanlan fights to give hope to the millions of girls who use sports to pursue the American dream.

Americans expect their prosecutors to prosecute crimes. After all, it’s in their title. Unfortunately, that is no longer the norm around many of America’s once-great cities.

The Soviet Union fell in 1991, and with it fell the shadow of global communism. But while Americans breathed a collective sigh of relief at the thought of communism's demise, a new conspiracy developed at home. Hiding behind a veil of "progressivism," today's communists have infiltrated many of the institutions that Americans cherish and use their newfound power to control and regulate the actions of everyday Americans. Jesse Kelly, host of the nationally syndicated Jesse Kelly Show on iHeartRadio, is the latest guest on The Kevin Roberts Show here to discuss the ways in which the modern Left has manipulated society from behind the scenes. Kelly is also the author of a new book called "The Anti-Communist Manifesto," which takes a deep dive into how communists operate in today's America. Hosted on Acast.

President Ronald Reagan once famously said that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. For many Americans, it feels as if that time has come. The radical Left, led by the Biden administration, has put forward the most progressive and out-of-touch agenda in American history; the American people have had enough.Ken Cuccunelli, former Attorney General of Virginia and a Trump administration senior official, joins The Kevin Robert’s Show to break down and expose the channels the radical Left has used to attack America as we know it. From the security of the southern border to the integrity of our elections, the Left and the public have never been further apart. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Reagan Revolution brought about a new birth of American trade power. But by the time of the 1990s, American trade policy had begun to serve the interests of other nations rather than our own. With the dawn of the 21st century came the rise of China as a new global superpower unlike any threat the United States had ever faced before, and one that due to our naive trade policies, we were ill-equipped to handle.  Robert Lighthizer served as the U.S. Trade Representative during the Trump Administration and is today’s guest on The Kevin Robert’s Show. During his time in the Trump Administration, he worked to shift U.S. trade practices away from the globalist-crafted, America-last policies that had fused our economy with China’s. Stay tuned for an exciting discussion about the future of U.S. trade policy and what America can do to make sure it remains an independent nation free from the influence of hostile powers.  Hosted on Acast.

The American political landscape has undergone a radical transformation in the last few years. Gone are the days of "may the best idea win."

From the time they enter school, Americans are told that their elected Congress passes laws, which go to their elected President's desk for approval. Missing from that equation is the administrative state: a mass of dark money groups and powerful career bureaucrats which have tightened their grip over our country, our finances, and our future. Former Utah congressman and Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz is the latest guest on The Kevin Roberts Show, here to talk about his new and thought-provoking book: The Puppeteers: The People Who Control The People Who Control America.Chaffetz also breaks down the complex world of the administrative state and how it takes control away from the American people, and places it in the hands of self-interested, unelected tyrants.
