  • BONUS | National Religious Broadcasters' Presidential Forum

    In the latest installment of The Kevin Roberts Show, with host Kevin Roberts at the helm, the complexities of political dynamics are unpacked in a candid discussion about the establishment's resistance to former President Donald Trump. Roberts delves deep into the motives behind the establishment's opposition, dissecting their claims of defending morality and the rule of law against accusations of hypocrisy.
