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.”

Tune in Wednesday, October 29th at 3:00 PM ET, on AmericasFuture.net and all podcast streaming platforms.

In this week’s episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith is interviewed by the show producer and veteran journalist April Moss about his explosive new book, “The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact,” exposing the decades-long entanglement between U.S. political, corporate, and media elites and the Chinese Communist Party.

Drawing from the book, the conversation traces how a bipartisan network of power brokers from Nixon and Kissinger to modern tech leaders enabled China’s rise and imported its authoritarian model into the West. From digital surveillance to censorship, from academia to Hollywood, they discuss how the CCP’s influence has reshaped American life.

This episode is about more than geopolitics; it’s about moral courage, national sovereignty, and the spiritual warfare between truth and deception. It’s a warning to every citizen who values liberty: resistance to tyranny begins with obedience to God and a commitment to reclaim America’s independence, both in body and in spirit.

In this week’s episode, The Pentagon, The Deep State, and the Future of American Power, Lee Smith is joined by former Pentagon strategist Adam Lovinger for an insider’s look at how decades of bureaucratic expansion, political capture, and ideological subversion have weakened America’s strategic edge.

Drawing on his experience in the Office of Net Assessment and the National Security Council, Lovinger explains how the U.S. defense establishment, once the guardian of national strength, has been overtaken by career bureaucrats, lawyers, and political appointees more concerned with process than victory. From the lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan to the weaponization of intelligence during “Russiagate,” he exposes how the rise of the so-called Deep State has transformed the Pentagon from a center of strategy into a fortress of self-preservation.

This episode goes beyond military policy. It’s a warning about the dangers of a government that fears accountability more than defeat. Lovinger and Smith explore what real strategy demands: moral clarity, courage, and a return to first principles that place America’s preeminence and peace above political ambition.

The Pentagon, The Deep State, and the Future of American Power reveals why restoring national strength begins with restoring truth, and how America can still secure its future if it finds the will to lead again.
