  • Trump, the Courts, and the Fight to Restore Executive Power
    Jul 23 2025

    In this powerful episode of Roots, Rights and Reason, host Lee Smith is joined by attorney and political commentator Will Chamberlain to delve into the true origins and evolving scope of executive power in the United States.

    Chamberlain explains how the Founders, far from fearing a strong executive, intentionally strengthened the role of the presidency in response to the failures of the Articles of Confederation. Drawing from Roman history and the Federalist Papers, they crafted a system that empowered a single president to enforce laws, defend the nation, and act decisively, yet still within constitutional limits.

    The episode takes a sharp turn into modern judicial overreach, focusing on how the courts have attempted to curtail executive authority through nationwide injunctions and the creation of so-called "independent agencies." Chamberlain makes a compelling case for the unitary executive theory and lays out how recent court battles, especially under President Trump-are restoring the Constitution’s original balance.

    From Hamilton’s vision to current SCOTUS rulings, this episode contains insight into one of the most consequential constitutional showdowns of our time.

  • Separation of Powers: America's Constitutional Firewall
    Jul 16 2025

    In Episode Three of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith breaks down one of the most vital but least understood pillars of our republic: the separation of powers.

    Joined by constitutional attorney Harry MacDougal, Lee explores how the Founders deliberately structured our government to divide power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches—creating a system of checks and balances designed to protect liberty and prevent tyranny.

    This episode is both a civics masterclass and a timely warning. As Lee and Harry trace today’s political dysfunction back to the erosion of these guardrails, they call on citizens to understand and defend the structure that has safeguarded freedom for nearly 250 years.
