With the 2024 Presidential election now a week in the past, President-elect Donald Trump can officially go about putting his cabinet and administration in place. With names like Elise Stefanik, Lee Zeldin and Tom Homan already inserted into key positions, it looks like a new age of conservatism is being ushered into American governance. Kevin Roberts is the president of The Heritage Foundation. He appeared on 710 WOR’s Morning Show to promote his new book, “Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America”, in which he lays out his vision for how conservatives can save and preserve America’s institutions and traditions.
“The Harris campaign was built on lies; I guess it’s the most expensive bundle of lies we’ve ever seen,” Roberts told Larry Mendte in appraising the election results. “The key thing is, for anyone who is angered by that, is that it didn’t work. And not only did it not work, it’s actually, you know, our policies and personnel are going to be part not just of this next administration, but of those that follow, and increasingly we are getting requests from governors and from county executives across the country for us to expand our work there. This is just the beginning of the work that we’re doing, and we ought to take more encouragement form that than from allowing the left to upset us.”
Roberts also brushed off attacks of Project 2025, telling Mendte that the left maligned the think tank initiative because it is more in line with what Americans really believe. “They were so desperate because they couldn’t run on their own record, which had basically ended the American Dream for so many Americans that they had to find a boogeyman, and that boogeyman end duo being our project. I guess it should put a spring in out step that they saw us as the target, and for the radical left who wants to do that again, I mean, I guess they ought to saddle up, because Heritage is neve gong to stop writing about policies and training personnel to go into a Presidential administration.”
