  • America's Heritage of Faith and Gratitude
    Nov 26 2025

    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.

  • Oligarchy: When Power Leaves The People
    Nov 19 2025

    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
    Nov 12 2025

    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.
