Robert Lighthizer served as the U.S. Trade Representative during the T...

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-prov...
Jun 07, 2023•28 min•Ep 83•Transcript available on Metacast In the last few decades, higher education has undergone a fundamental transformation. The monk-like scholars once responsible for the education of America's young adults have been replaced, by and large, with woke, self-serving political activists.

Dr. Larry Arnn—the twelf...

Feb 19, 2023•21 min•Ep 65•Transcript available on Metacast There is no denying the fact that the Left has coopted our institutions of education and manipulated them into a tool to advance their radical ideology.

This is certainly not a status quo we want to conserve. What, then, is the co...
