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.

This week on Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes Bishop Leon Benjamin for a special Thanksgiving episode filled with faith, history, and gratitude.

Together, they revisit the Mayflower Compact of 1620 and the divine mission that guided America’s earliest settlers. Bishop Benjamin shares how the pilgrims understood their journey as a covenant with God—an assignment to bring faith and peace to a new land.

He explains how their gratitude and worship shaped the foundation of the nation: an attitude of thanksgiving that invited God’s presence into every part of life, from fellowship to food to family.

As the conversation turns to the meaning of Thanksgiving today, Bishop Benjamin reflects on reconciliation and unity around the table. Even amid political differences, he reminds listeners that gratitude is what binds Americans together. “If you don’t like the politics,” he says with a smile, “pass the yams.”

The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer for peace, healing, and renewed faith across the nation…a reminder that true thanksgiving begins with humility before God and love for one another.

This week on Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith sits down with bestselling author and investigative researcher Matt Palumbo to expose how power has shifted from the people to a small class of elites who shape politics, media, and global policy- an American oligarchy.

Drawing from his latest book, The Heir: Inside the Not-So-Secret Network of Alex Soros, Palumbo reveals how billionaire financier George Soros and his son Alex built a worldwide network of influence that reaches deep into government, justice, and culture.

“Anyone with outsized influence and connections…the ability to turn things in their favor with ease fits the description of an oligarch,” Palumbo explains. “And George Soros, along with his son Alex, embodies that definition.”

In this eye-opening conversation, Palumbo traces the Soros network from the post-Soviet privatization of Russia to the global expansion of the Open Society Foundation, where he says “Alex starts on third base when it comes to the impact he’s going to have.”

As Palumbo warns, the danger lies not just in wealth or politics, but in how unelected elites can “control the narrative and silence critics.”

Rational Faith: What Happens When Science Points To God?

In this deeply personal and intellectually stirring episode, Roots, Rights & Reason host Lee Smith sits down with renowned author and policy analyst Charles Murray to discuss his newest book, Taking Religion Seriously-a courageous exploration of how logic, science, and love led one of America’s leading social scientists to reconsider the divine.

Murray reflects on his journey from secular skepticism to spiritual reverence, recounting the scientific discoveries, philosophical insights, and personal experiences that reshaped his worldview. He describes how empirical evidence from astrophysics to consciousness studies compelled him to confront questions that science alone could not answer.

“If consciousness can exist independently of the brain,” Murray explains, “you have to accept the rather intimidating prospect that you just may have a soul.”

Through their conversation, Smith and Murray examine what happens when science points toward God, and how reason and faith (often cast as opposites ) are in fact two sides of the same pursuit of truth.

In this week’s episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith sits down with Hans Mahncke, attorney, author, and investigative journalist, to dissect the origins, motives, and aftermath of Russiagate-the political hoax that reshaped public trust, national security, and American democracy itself.

Mahncke traces how a narrative born inside the Hillary Clinton campaign intended to deflect from her own email scandal, morphed into a full-scale intelligence operation carried out by James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, and other senior officials. “It started off as a campaign smear operation, and then it became a government operation,” Mahncke explains.

Together, Smith and Mahncke explore the devastating consequences of the hoax: the persecution of General Mike Flynn, the sabotage of President Trump’s first term, the criminalization of diplomacy with Russia, and the lasting damage to American institutions. “They not only hobbled Donald Trump’s presidency,” Smith observes, “but they badly hurt the country.”

This episode is a sobering look at how lies at the highest levels of power can alter a nation and a reminder that freedom demands vigilance, courage, and truth.

This week on Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith sits down with historian and author Professor C. Bradley Thompson to honor the life and legacy of one of America’s most underappreciated Founding Fathers-John Adams.

Though often overshadowed by Jefferson and Hamilton, Adams was, in Professor Thompson’s words, “America’s greatest Founding Father.” From his early leadership in revolutionary Boston to his decisive role in the Continental Congress, Adams was the moral and intellectual force behind independence itself; the Atlas of Independence and the Colossus on the floor.

In this episode, Smith and Thompson revisit Adams’ extraordinary contributions: his impassioned speech for independence on July 1, 1776, his authorship of the Massachusetts Constitution, and his far-reaching writings on government that would inspire the U.S. Constitution. They explore his philosophical break with Thomas Jefferson over the French Revolution and his lifelong belief that liberty must rest upon virtue and self-governance.

As the nation marks the anniversary of John Adams’ birth, this conversation calls Americans to remember the principles he fought for- truth, faith, moral courage, and “Independence forever.”
