In this week’s episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes constitutional attorney and nationally renowned speaker KrisAnne Hall for an extraordinary discussion that uncovers the hidden legal foundation of America’s independence: the Lee Resolution of 1776.

While most Americans associate July 4 with the nation’s birth, Hall explains that the decisive act that legally separated the colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Lee Resolution declaring the colonies to be **“**free and independent states.” This, she argues, is the true Independence Day and the key to understanding the sovereignty of the states.

Hall and Smith explore how the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution all reflect a structure in which sovereignty originates with the people, is exercised through the states, and is only delegated in limited measure to the federal government. Their conversation sheds light on how the founders designed a system to protect liberty by preventing centralized power from overshadowing the authority of the states.

This compelling episode challenges long-held assumptions, offering listeners a deeper understanding of the Declaration’s purpose and the constitutional order it helped create. Hall’s insights reveal why restoring America’s founding principles requires revisiting the legal and historical truths that shaped the birth of the Republic.

In this week’s episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes author and cultural critic Roger Kimball for a powerful discussion on the enduring relevance of The Federalist Papers and the constitutional wisdom America desperately needs today.

Together, they revisit the debates of Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, exploring how these 85 essays shaped the foundation of the Republic and addressed timeless challenges-faction, human nature, the balance of powers, and the threat of majority tyranny. Kimball explains why the Founders designed a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy, and why misunderstanding that distinction has led to many of the crises facing America now.

This insightful episode is a reminder that preserving liberty requires returning to the principles that built the nation: reason, representation, limited government, and the genius of the constitutional system entrusted to us.

In this urgent and deeply clarifying episode, Roots, Rights & Reason host Lee Smith sits down with national security analyst Mike Waller to expose one of the most misunderstood threats confronting the United States today: the Muslim Brotherhood’s long-term campaign to undermine America from within.

Drawing on decades of research into political warfare, subversion, and foreign influence operations, Waller explains how the Brotherhood’s objective goes far beyond terrorism. He describes a methodical strategy he calls civilizational jihad : a slow, deliberate effort to build enclaves, silence critics, infiltrate institutions, and reshape American political life in ways most citizens never see.

Waller traces how this movement, already decades ahead in Europe, has taken root in U.S. cities through activist organizations, political coalitions, and religious networks designed not to assimilate, but to supplant. He warns that the Brotherhood’s aim is not peaceful coexistence, but cultural and political dominance.

Together, they reveal a reality as unsettling as it is essential to understand; how a patient, disciplined ideological movement has embedded itself inside the world’s most powerful nation, and what must happen if Americans hope to defend their country from an adversary operating within its borders.
