After the victories of 2024, the greatest threat to the conservative movement isn't defeat — it's complacency.

We got a pretty clear heads up about what Trump 2.0 could portend for so many facets of American life. The Mandate for Leadership, also known as Project 2025, is perhaps the clearest compilation of goals for Trump's second term. Now that 100 days have passed of the second Trump administration, we thought it would be a good time to see where things stand. David Graham is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of “The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America.” He joins WITHpod to discuss what has already been done, what's been most surprising, how he sees the plans playing out and more.
The Panama Canal isn't just a trade route—it's a lifeline for American commerce and a key to military dominance. But here's the problem: China knows that too. As the CCP tightens its grip on ports and infrastructure surrounding the canal, the question isn't if we should act—it's how fast.Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts is […]
Fifteen years after Sarah Silverman's viral call to “Sell the Vatican, Feed the World,” we now have a “Marxist Pope,” according to Trump stormtrooper Laura Loomer, and our wildest dreams. This week for Gaslit Nation's bonus show, we dive into the groundbreaking election of the first American pope, Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, whose ancestry ties him to Black lineage. While many celebrate this historic milestone, deeper questions remain. Most crucially, Pope Leo's stance on Opus Dei, a secretive, powerful crime cult aligned with far-right politics and accused of human trafficking and labor abuses, remains unclear, especially given his close connections to Opus Dei in Peru. By Vatican standards, Pope Francis launched an open war on Opus Dei. (Fun fact: Robert Hanssen, the FBI agent and traitor who spied for the Kremlin, was an Opus Dei member). Pope Francis began the work of reigning in Opus Dei's unchecked power. Pope Leo, seen as a moderate administrator, played both sides during his tenure in Peru, where Opus Dei holds sway. Will he now take bold action to finish Francis's mission, and protect the world from Opus Dei, especially America where Opus Dei has been expanding its influence in Washington, DC, thanks to allies Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society and Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025?

Rick starts the show by referencing the preceding rant edited out of the produced show. To wit: The live show took on the gazillion emails the guys have been getting about which celebrity wore what watch at the Met Gala. But onto something more important — grammar! Whether you could or couldn't care less, that is the question. Now, down to some actual content. David's latest “Grinding Gears” column is all about the gap between watchmakers and the consumers who don't know what they're looking at. This divide causes some problems, as David explains. Ariel has a lot to say about this, especially regarding value. Next up? Guess the Price of the Seiko! Then, onto a discussion of the Seagull Okeanos release, which also results in a discussion of pricing and tariffs. Ariel asks, “Why are tariffs invading our hobby?” And that is the question of the day. Kevin Roberts joins the foursome to discuss the latest from Doxa, Breguet, and other brands. Tune in to hear the latest.
Megyn Kelly opens the show by declaring The Met Gala is dead, the absurd and elitist "black dandyism” theme, the obscene vulgarity from celebrities, and more. Then Stu Burguiere, host of BlazeTV's "Stu Does America," join to discuss the nudity at the Met Gala from Halle Berry, the Kardashians back again, Anna Wintour trying to save face by prioritizing black “culture” now, the New Yorker's latest photo spread of leftist elites in their NYC living rooms, strange looks for AOC and Ella Emhoff and Al Sharpton, Alex Soros and Huma Abedin's frigid and bizarre photo, how Jen Psaki is offended by the term “cover-up” but was clearly a participant in the Biden cognitive decline cover-up, how the leftist media worked overtime to keep it hidden until after the debate, how 60 Minutes was once a gold standard of investigative reporting but is now burning its credibility with partisan hit pieces against Trump, their recent piece using Marc Elias as a trusted source, and more. Then Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, joins to discuss how Trump is fighting against elite universities and their illegal discrimination, how they're silencing Jewish students from even sharing their religion over fear of being called out in class, the way the schools are trying to fight back, and more.Burguiere- https://www.youtube.com/StuDoesAmericaRoberts- https://www.heritage.org/Done with Debt: https://www.DoneWithDebt.com & tell them Megyn sent you!Firecracker Farm: Visit https://firecracker.FARM & enter code MK at checkout for a special discount!Kars4Kids: Call 1-877-kars4kids or visit https://kars4kids.org/MKLumen: Visit https://lumen.me/MEGYN for 15% Off

Newt’s guest is Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for America. They discuss President Trump's first 100 days in office, highlighting significant achievements such as border security, economic growth, and challenging unfair international tariffs. Their conversation also covers the Trump administration's strategic approach to governance, emphasizing the importance of merit and performance over diversity quotas. They consider the potential for a Trump economic boom, the necessity of passing reconciliation in Congress, and the broader implications of Trump's presidency on American politics and global relations. Roberts shares insights from his recent book, "Dawn's Early Light," which outlines a revitalized conservative movement focused on empowering families and local communities. Their conversation concludes with a call to action for Congress to act swiftly to ensure continued economic success and political momentum.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the quartet is a trio. Ariel is away, and David is super-excited about the new collab between Bulova and IFL. He waxes poetic about the hand-painted artwork on the dial, and it's hard to tell if/when he might take it off. And he's impressed with the price (just 1,200 Euros, including a Bulova movement). They move on to discuss two documentaries about brands — Bulova and IWC — before taking a look at the latest Gerald Charles release. Semi-usual suspect Kevin Roberts joins the show, as does Guy Blaskey. Ripley gets tuned in and heated up about the contemporary face of Bremont (there's a parallel to spam — don't ask), and the fivesome banters about the topic, which is more controversial with each passing day. Then, the segment we all wait for: Hit, Miss, Maybe! Listen in.
Kevin Roberts with CarGurus expects auto tariffs to squeeze wallets for potential car buyers, even with Tuesday's updates on some auto tariff relief. That said, Kevin thinks trends favor the auto industry's outlook. He talks about pricing pressure consumers can expect at dealerships as tariff volatility persists.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sweeping initiative crafted by The Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, it becomes clear that this project is more than just a policy blueprint – it's a vision for a fundamentally transformed American government. The ties between Project 2025 and the Trump administration are undeniable, despite President Trump's attempts to distance himself from it.Project 2025 is the brainchild of over 400 scholars and policy experts from the conservative movement, many of whom have direct connections to Trump's first administration and his 2024 election campaign. Kevin Roberts, the President of The Heritage Foundation, who was part of Trump's transition team in 2016, has openly described the project's goal as "institutionalizing Trumpism"[1][5].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its ambitious plan to reshape the federal government. The project advocates for replacing merit-based federal civil service workers with individuals loyal to Trump, effectively taking partisan control of key government agencies such as the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Trade Commission. This move is designed to consolidate executive power and align these agencies with Trump's political agenda[5].The project also proposes significant structural changes to various federal agencies. For instance, it recommends dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education. The Department of Homeland Security, crucial for national security and disaster response, would be disbanded, while the Department of Education, vital for educational policy and funding, would cease to exist. These changes reflect a broader theme of reducing federal oversight and shifting responsibilities to state and local levels[5].In the realm of disaster response, Project 2025 suggests reforming FEMA's emergency spending to shift the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities. Currently, FEMA covers at least 75% of the costs for disaster response and recovery; under the new plan, the federal government would cover only 25% of the costs for small disasters and up to 75% for "truly catastrophic disasters." This change is justified by the project's authors, who argue that FEMA is "overtasked, overcompensates for the lack of state and local preparedness and response, and is regularly in deep debt"[2].The project's policy proposals extend far beyond structural changes to federal agencies. It includes a wide range of policy objectives that align with conservative and Christian right ideologies. For example, it proposes reducing environmental regulations to favor fossil fuels, making the National Institutes of Health less independent, and defunding its stem cell research. The plan also calls for reducing taxes on corporations and instituting a flat income tax on individuals, while cutting Medicare and Medicaid. These economic policies are designed to reduce the federal government's role in social welfare and healthcare[5].Social and cultural issues are also central to Project 2025. The project recommends criminalizing pornography, removing legal protections against anti-LGBT discrimination, and ending diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Instead, the Department of Justice would focus on prosecuting what the project terms "anti-white racism." Additionally, it proposes laws that would criminalize the sending and receiving of abortion and birth control medications and eliminate coverage of emergency contraception. These proposals reflect a strong alignment with the Christian right's agenda[5].The immigration policy under Project 2025 is particularly stringent. It calls for the arrest, detention, and mass deportation of illegal immigrants and suggests deploying the U.S. Armed Forces for domestic law enforcement. This approach is part of a broader strategy to tighten border control and enforce strict immigration laws[5].As President Trump marks his first 100 days in his second term, many of his policies have begun to mirror or partially mirror the proposals outlined in Project 2025. Nearly two-thirds of Trump's executive actions have been found to align with the project's goals, according to an analysis by *Time*. This alignment is not coincidental; several Trump campaign officials maintained close contact with Project 2025, seeing its goals as integral to their *Agenda 47* program[5].The implications of Project 2025 are far-reaching and have sparked significant concern among civil rights and civil liberties advocates. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has detailed the potential challenges a second Trump presidency, influenced by Project 2025, would pose. The ACLU plans to go to court to preserve and advance rights related to immigration, LGBTQ issues, abortion access, nondiscrimination laws, voting rights, and free speech. They also intend to work with Congress to enact policy solutions and provide oversight to counter the most extreme proposals of Project 2025[1].As we look ahead, the implementation of Project 2025's policies will likely face numerous challenges and legal battles. The ACLU and other advocacy groups are already organizing in communities to educate the public about the potential harms of these policies and what they can do to protect their rights. The coming months will be crucial as Congress and the courts grapple with the constitutional and ethical implications of these sweeping changes.In conclusion, Project 2025 represents a profound shift in American governance, one that seeks to consolidate executive power, reduce federal oversight, and align government policies with a conservative and Christian right agenda. As the country navigates these changes, it is imperative to remain vigilant and informed about the potential impacts on civil rights, social welfare, and the very fabric of American democracy. The future of these policies will depend on the actions of lawmakers, judges, and the public's engagement in the democratic process.
This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, it's a party! Rick has, count'em, five guests, all of whom are wearing black. In addition to Ariel, David, and Ripley, special guests Pete McConnell and Kevin Roberts are in the house. Ariel's presence was unplanned, as he's in Italy, where Pope Francis has just died, so he's feeling special in a strange way. Ripley is continuing to grow a mustache this week as he prepares to try to avert being placed on a jury. The guys get down to it with the question: Can one upset Rolex? Like, is it possible? Pete says "no," Ripley says, "kinda sorta, not really," and Ariel says, "heck yeah." There's only one way to find out the whys of these various answers, and that's to tune in to the show. Another big highlight of this festive episode is a conversation about Blancpain — lots of praise with a caution about the price (no surprise there, though). And guess what's back? Hit, Miss, Maybe. Join in!

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, you are hearing it in the leftwing press, in the Never-Trump editorial pages and more - you cannot and must not deport anyone without some kind of notice and due process. Yet, there's nothing from these people on how this is supposed to actually work. What kind of due process are they talking about? The kind of due process that applies to citizens? If not, then what lower standard suffices as constitutional due process? Exactly how would due process, of any kind, be administered to millions and millions of illegal immigrants? We don't have enough courts of any kind in our country to handle the tsunami of cases that would be involved. This was all intentional. The border was opened to anyone. This is the Cloward-Pivens strategy: flood the system, overwhelm the system, break the system, and in doing so achieve your goals. Effectively, this is massive amnesty. Also, it seems these Federal judges are trying to stop mass deportation efforts and disrupt the Trump administration's response to Biden's mass immigration policies. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in and explains that he was stunned by Judge Boasberg's order because he's blatantly defying the Supreme Court. Boasberg's order was void from the moment he signed it. So how can he hold the Trump administration in contempt? Either Boasberg is incompetent or he's deliberately ignoring the Supreme Court. Afterward, Jonathan Turley calls in to discuss the criminal referral against NY AG Letitia James. James claims that her Virginia home was her principal residence. That was not and cannot be true because she was and still is an official of the New York government who must live within the state. What's notable about her false statements is that each one worked towards a better mortgage rate. Then, the Declaration of Independence discusses natural law and natural rights. Where do these concepts originate? They are influenced by John Locke and Montesquieu, but not entirely, as they ultimately come from God. When they say the people are sovereign, that ide comes from God. This is why the government can never be sovereign. The United States is first county on earth to be founded on these principles. Finally, Heritage President, Kevin Roberts, calls in to discuss the organization's impactful projects and ongoing efforts to revitalize federalism in America. Roberts shares insights on the current political landscape, the significance of state legislative work, and the importance of maintaining a conservative agenda while addressing challenges such as tariffs and international relations.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sweeping initiative spearheaded by the conservative Heritage Foundation, it becomes clear that this is more than just a policy manual – it's a blueprint for a fundamental transformation of American governance.Project 2025 is the culmination of efforts from over 100 respected organizations within the conservative movement, aiming to "take down the Deep State" and return the government to the people. This ambitious plan, outlined in a 900-page manual, involves hundreds of individual policy changes that touch nearly every aspect of American life. From immigration and abortion rights to education and energy production, the scope of Project 2025 is vast and its implications profound.One of the most contentious areas addressed by Project 2025 is immigration. The plan calls for securing the border, finishing the construction of the wall, and deporting illegal aliens. It also proposes transferring the custody of immigrant children from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a move that critics argue would prioritize enforcement over welfare and potentially worsen the safety and psychological well-being of vulnerable children[5].In the realm of reproductive rights, Project 2025 advocates for drastic measures. It suggests reviving the 19th-century Comstock Act to ban abortion medications and materials from being sent through the U.S. Postal Service and reversing the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a key medication used in abortions. These proposals are part of a broader effort to gut abortion access, with supporters like Pam Bondi, who defended President Trump during his first impeachment trial and upheld Florida's restrictive abortion ban, actively working to implement these changes[3].Education is another sector that would undergo significant changes under Project 2025. The plan aims to dismantle the federal role in education, proposing the abolition of the Department of Education and the privatization of student loans. It also recommends eliminating the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and increasing taxes on university endowments. Sara Partridge, associate director of higher education policy at the Center for American Progress, notes that "the way I see it, Project 2025 really set out to destroy the federal role in education as we know it, and this administration has already taken major steps to weaken it"[4].The energy sector is not immune to the project's ambitious reforms. Project 2025 advocates for unleashing American energy production to reduce energy prices, including expanding energy exploration and extraction in Alaska and opening the National Petroleum Reserve to leasing and development. This aligns with broader conservative goals of reducing regulatory barriers and increasing domestic energy production[2].A key aspect of Project 2025 is its focus on restructuring the federal government to make it more accountable to the democratically elected President and Congress. This includes proposals to de-weaponize the Federal Government by increasing accountability and oversight of the FBI and DOJ, and to implement Trump's Schedule F executive order, which would allow for the dismissal of ‘non-performing' federal employees. This measure could significantly erode the system of checks and balances by centralizing power in the executive branch[5].The project also delves into social issues, such as banning biological males from competing in women's sports, a policy that reflects the conservative movement's stance on gender and sports[1].Despite President Trump's denials of direct involvement, the connections between Project 2025 and his administration are evident. The Heritage Foundation, which published the project, has direct ties to Trump's first administration, with at least 140 people who worked on Project 2025 having previously worked in Trump's administration. Kevin Roberts, the Heritage Foundation President, has described his organization's role as “institutionalizing Trumpism”[3].Experts and analysts are keenly watching the implementation of these policies, noting that while not all of Trump's actions fully adhere to Project 2025's recommendations, the core concepts are often aligned. Brendan Cantwell, a higher education professor at Michigan State University, observes that "the record established in Project 2025 and by people like Max Eden … [is] being enacted quite clearly"[4].The potential implications of Project 2025 are far-reaching and multifaceted. By centralizing power in the executive branch, undermining civil rights, and eroding essential social programs, this agenda prioritizes control over fairness, enforcement over welfare, and exclusion over inclusion. As noted by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the incremental steps already being taken in states like Texas and Washington are paving the way for the broader implementation of Project 2025's vision, which could significantly compromise the rights of marginalized groups[5].As we look ahead, it is clear that Project 2025 represents a critical juncture in American governance. The next few weeks and months will be pivotal, with expected executive orders and legislative actions that could reshape the landscape of federal policies. Experts predict significant changes in accreditation standards for colleges, further constraints on colleges, and potential overhauls in the student loan system[4].In conclusion, Project 2025 is not just a policy document; it is a vision for a fundamentally different America. As the country navigates these proposed changes, it is imperative to understand the scope, ambition, and potential impacts of this initiative. Whether one supports or opposes these policies, the importance of informed engagement and vigilant oversight cannot be overstated. The future of American governance hangs in the balance, and the decisions made now will shape the nation for generations to come.
As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a comprehensive and contentious plan crafted by the Heritage Foundation, I am struck by the sheer scope and ambition of this conservative blueprint. This 900-page document, often described as a guidebook for transforming American governance, has sparked intense debate and concern across the political spectrum.At its core, Project 2025 is a vision for a radically different federal government, one that amplifies presidential power and reshapes the bureaucracy to align with conservative ideals. The project is the culmination of efforts by over 400 scholars and policy experts, aiming to provide a detailed policy agenda for a potential incoming Republican administration, particularly one led by Donald Trump, despite his public denials of involvement[2][4].One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its proposal to centralize power within the executive branch. The plan suggests reissuing Trump's Schedule F executive order, which would allow the president to dismiss federal employees deemed 'non-performing' or disloyal. This measure targets the vast federal workforce of approximately 3.5 million individuals, the majority of whom are career civil servants essential for maintaining government continuity and integrity. As Dr. Ray Serrano, Director of Research and Policy at LULAC, notes, "This proposal targets the vast federal workforce... enabling far-right extremists to discharge federal employees considered insufficiently loyal"[1].The project also outlines sweeping reforms to federal agencies, including the elimination of the Department of Education and significant cuts to other agencies. For instance, Project 2025 proposes transferring the custody of immigrant children from Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), prioritizing enforcement over welfare. This change would likely expand detention centers and worsen the safety and psychological well-being of vulnerable immigrant children[1].On the issue of immigration, Project 2025 advocates for mass deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants and the completion of the border wall. These policies align closely with Trump's past rhetoric, although the project goes further in some areas, such as its stance on abortion. While Trump has expressed support for certain abortion restrictions, Project 2025's proposals are more extreme, aiming to limit access to abortion medication through legal challenges and regulatory changes. A recent court case in Texas, where a judge ruled in favor of revoking the FDA's approval of mifepristone, serves as a precursor to these broader restrictions[1][2].The project's impact on reproductive rights is just one facet of its broader assault on civil liberties. It also proposes to ban biological males from competing in women's sports and to de-weaponize the federal government by increasing accountability and oversight of agencies like the FBI and DOJ. These measures are part of a larger effort to "return the government to the people" and dismantle what the project's proponents call the "Deep State"[5].In the realm of media and technology, Project 2025's plans are equally transformative. The project recommends increasing agency accountability while decreasing wasteful spending at the FCC, promoting national security, and expanding connectivity through the support of 5G and satellite technologies. It also suggests that Big Tech companies should contribute to the Universal Service Fund, currently funded through telephone bills. These proposals reflect a broader aim to reshape the regulatory landscape in favor of conservative priorities[4].Critics of Project 2025 argue that its recommendations are not just radical but also risky, potentially endangering democratic institutions and concentrating presidential power to an unprecedented degree. As Roxana Muenster from the Brookings Institution notes, "Project 2025's policy recommendations should be cause for concern: Congress enacted the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act because they believed an educated and informed citizenry was in the public, local, and national interest"[4].The Heritage Foundation and its allies, however, see Project 2025 as a necessary corrective to what they perceive as the failures of the current system. Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, has warned of a "second American Revolution" that could remain bloodless if the left allows it to be, underscoring the project's urgency and the stakes involved[2].As the 2025 presidential transition looms, the implementation of Project 2025's proposals will depend on the outcome of the election. The Center for Progressive Reform and other watchdog groups are closely tracking the project's executive action proposals across 20 federal agencies, ready to highlight the devastating consequences these actions could have for workers, the environment, public health, and the rights of millions of Americans[3].In the coming months, as the political landscape continues to evolve, Project 2025 will remain a focal point of debate and contention. Whether its vision for a centralized, conservative government becomes reality or remains a blueprint for a hypothetical future, one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the implications for American governance are profound. As we move forward, it will be crucial to monitor the project's progress and its potential to reshape the very fabric of American democracy.
Donald Trump is the only one telling the American economy, “You have cancer!” Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, says, “The treatment is going to be a little painful.” Kevin responds to criticisms that the Heritage Foundation has changed its position on tariffs, explains why the president's treatment of Canada may be a “tactical error,” and says it's time for tax cuts, deregulation, and to stop the “fuzzy math happening in Congress” and cut the budget. Considering why the Epstein files “landed like a lead balloon,” Kevin posits that Pam Bondi is “understaffed” and celebrates what he believes is the best assembled Cabinet in modern history. They discuss nuclear energy, the Chinese Communist Party, the DOGE, and how the socialist president of Mexico “understands Trump.” They both agree that we are experiencing the “second American revolution” and lauded the gutting of the Department of Education and the vision of JD Vance, while warning that “not everyone in Silicon Valley is our friend.” In the end, they have to ask, is Donald Trump moving too fast?

As part of the inaugural Automotive Intelligence Awards, Cherokee Media Group is honoring a select group of outstanding auto industry analysts for their contribution to the knowledge base of the used-car retail, finance and remarketing industries. To conclude our series of podcasts with these first-ever honorees in the Automotive Intelligence Awards: Industry Analysts program, we talk with Kevin Roberts, director of economic and market intelligence at CarGurus. Roberts, who is from Detroit, has a deep family background in automotive. His great-grandfather worked at Willys-Overland Motors in Toledo, Ohio — "that was Jeep before Jeep," he said — and that tradition of working in the car business continued over three more generations. Combine that with his love of math and economics, and being an auto analyst was a "natural fit" for Roberts. He shares that story and more in our conversation.

Join John Anderson as he hosts Kevin D. Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation, for a thoughtful discussion on the changes shaping America and the broader Western world. This episode covers a range of topics, from Donald Trump's unexpected return to the presidency to unconventional proposals like transforming Gaza into a luxury resort. Alongside these, they explore the evolving landscape of trade policies, the growing influence of China, and efforts to reconnect with core American values like the pursuit of opportunity and stability—what many call the American Dream. The conversation delves into Heritage's perspective on strengthening self-governance, addressing China's advances in technology, and reassessing how alliances function in today's global environment. Kevin offers straightforward insights into issues like the conflict in Ukraine, the potential role of tariffs in economic strategy, and the cultural challenges that have sparked debate across the West. Together, they examine how conservative approaches might influence policy and leadership, not just in Washington but in capitals around the world, providing a window into the ideas driving this moment of transition.

Happy Inauguration Day! Today, we sit down with Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, to discuss our feelings about Trump's new term as president of the United States. He also tells us more about Project 2025 and how the Left was able to fearmonger about it, when in reality, it's mostly just average Republican policy. We also discuss the potential dissolution of the Department of Education, and Kevin also gives us insight into how the Republican Party can best overcome its internal disagreements between factions. Kevin tells us how America-loving people can best reclaim our major institutions from the Left and how hopeful we can be for the good that the Trump-Vance administration will do for our country.
