It's an honor also to stand here and claim that the resolution is wrong.

It is that the House believes the Republican Party has irretrievably lost its way.

It's an honor to reject that in its totality.

In fact, it's such an honor to stand before you that I will make the further claim

that the Republican Party in the last century has never been truer to its roots.

Welcome back to the Kevin Roberts Show. I'm Larry O'Connor, and we're going to have a fun one today because we're going to unpack Dr. Roberts' speech at the Cambridge Union. You may have seen it. It went a little mini viral there on your video platforms. The resolution from the Cambridge Union read, this House believes the Republican Party has irretrievably lost its way. And, well, Dr. Roberts negated that notion, and you didn't hedge,

you didn't equivocate. You were pretty forthright there with all those Brits surrounding you.

Well, done. Well, thanks. I thought it was important not only to deny any veracity to that

resolution, but sort of double down and say the conservative movement,

the Republican Party, has never been truer to its roots. If you go back to its founding in the

1850s, which I know is a surprise to you that I took that approach. I'm not surprised, but I am

surprised that you went on foreign soil with all that hostility around you to make the case because there is a character.

I watch British television sometimes and there are news shows and panel shows. And there is this

two-dimensional caricature of the Republican Party and the American conservative movement,

very different than the Tories, of course. What did you feel was at stake when you entered

that room to make this case? Yeah, it was it was a privilege

to get the invitation. I decided to go in spite of some nonsense surrounding the institutions of

higher education in the United Kingdom, because I thought given the misunderstanding that you just

touched on in British media, including some British media that's right of center, that they hear directly

from someone who's in the middle of it. And the important thing to drive home was that, number one,

everything or most of the things that they have heard in British and especially European press

about the conservative movement, about the Republican Party is wrong.
