episode No Liberty to Libel: Rethinking Free Speech In America cover

No Liberty to Libel: Rethinking Free Speech In America

In this episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, Lee Smith welcomes Carson Holloway, Washington Fellow in the Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life and author of No Liberty to Libel: The Constitutional Case Against New York Times v. Sullivan. Holloway examines one of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions in modern history, arguing that the “actual malice” standard established in New York Times v. Sullivan has strayed from the Constitution’s original meaning and made it extraordinarily difficult for public figures to defend their reputations against false and damaging claims. Drawing on the Founders’ understanding of natural rights, Holloway explains that reputation was once regarded as a fundamental right alongside life, liberty, and property. As today’s media landscape is shaped by rapid information cycles, anonymous sourcing, and the widespread reach of digital platforms, the conversation raises urgent questions about accountability, public trust, and the future of American discourse, and whether the Supreme Court may be ready to revisit one of its most influential First Amendment precedents.

episode The Classical Roots of Leadership cover

The Classical Roots of Leadership

In this episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, Lee Smith welcomes C. L. Max Nikias for a compelling conversation on leadership, resilience, and the enduring wisdom of the classical world. Drawing from the works of Homer and Xenophon, Dr. Nikias explains how the traits of great leaders, vision, discipline, courage, and self-restraint have been understood for centuries and remain essential today. From his personal journey as an immigrant to his leadership at one of America’s top universities, Dr. Nikias reflects on the principles that shape strong leadership in times of uncertainty. This episode explores how classical education informed the Founding Fathers, why resilience is the defining test of leadership, and what it will take to cultivate the next generation of leaders in a rapidly changing world.

episode The Western Way of War cover

The Western Way of War

In this episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, Lee Smith welcomes historian Victor Davis Hanson for a clear and grounded look at what defines the “Western way of war” and how it is shaping modern conflict. Hanson explains that, at its core, this approach relies on overwhelming technological superiority, precision targeting, and strategic infrastructure disruption; seeking decisive outcomes without prolonged ground engagements. Drawing on current tensions in the Middle East, he contrasts this doctrine with insurgent-style warfare, arguing that restraint from entering drawn-out, on-the-ground conflicts is not weakness, but strategic discipline.  The conversation expands into a broader geopolitical lens, exploring how economic pressure, supply chain disruption, and coalition dynamics function as extensions of military force. Hanson outlines how blockades and targeted strikes can weaken regimes not only militarily but internally, accelerating political fracture and forcing high-stakes decisions from leadership. With historical parallels ranging from World War II to the Cold War, this episode offers a clear-eyed assessment of how modern power is exercised, and what victory may look like in an era where dominance is measured as much by strategic patience and leverage as by force.

episode The Birthright Citizenship Debate cover

The Birthright Citizenship Debate

In this episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, Lee Smith welcomes renowned legal scholar Richard A. Epstein for a timely and thought-provoking examination of birthright citizenship and the original meaning of the 14th Amendment. Drawing on decades of scholarship in constitutional and Roman law, Epstein challenges widely accepted interpretations and argues that modern legal frameworks have strayed far from the historical statutes that once governed citizenship in the United States. Together, they explore the role of naturalization laws, the legal distinction between allegiance and jurisdiction, and the broader implications for national sovereignty and the rule of law. As debates over immigration and citizenship continue to shape the American political landscape, this conversation offers a deeper look at the legal foundations and consequences behind one of the most contested constitutional questions of our time.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
