In this week’s episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes Scott Cochran, Head Football Coach at the University of West Alabama, for an inspiring conversation about the power of football, the test of faith, and the road to recovery.

Cochran takes listeners behind the scenes of college football at the highest level, reflecting on his years with Nick Saban at LSU, Alabama, and Georgia. He explains why America loves the drama of any given Saturday, how championship culture is built, and what it means to hold players to the “fourth and inches” standard every single day.

Yet Stronger Than the Game: Football, Faith, and Recovery goes far deeper than the gridiron. Cochran opens up about his personal battle with addiction, the struggles that nearly cost him everything, and the hard-won lessons of redemption that now guide his work as a mentor and coach. For Cochran, the ultimate victory is not just about wins and losses; it’s about shaping young men into stronger, wiser, and more resilient leaders.

Don’t miss this powerful episode that blends the thrill of football with timeless lessons on faith, perseverance, and purpose.

In this week’s episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith welcomes attorney Erielle Azerrad for a timely exploration of the Bill of Rights, America’s shield of liberty and the cornerstone of our freedoms.

Azerrad traces the fierce debates between Federalists and Anti-Federalists that gave rise to the Bill of Rights, explaining why these amendments were added to the Constitution and how they continue to shape American life. She highlights the First Amendment as the defining hallmark of American freedom and warns that growing efforts to criminalize speech pose a dangerous threat to liberty.

The discussion also examines the unique vulnerability of the Second Amendment in today’s cultural and political climate, the Supreme Court’s evolving role in defining rights, and why recognizing our liberties as God-given (not government-granted) is essential to preserving them.

Drawing on her expertise in constitutional law, Azerrad makes clear that safeguarding the Bill of Rights requires vigilance from every generation. She underscores that these protections were never intended to empower government, but to restrain it, ensuring that individual liberty endures against tyranny.

In this powerful episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith speaks with national security expert J. Michael Waller, Senior Analyst at the Center for Security Policy and author of Big Intel. Together, they examine the CIA’s creation in the aftermath of World War II, its role in Cold War victories, and its most infamous failures-from the Bay of Pigs to Russiagate.

Waller exposes how intelligence operations once aimed abroad have turned inward, threatening America’s constitutional order. He explains why a premier foreign intelligence service is essential for national survival and why unchecked abuses have shattered public trust. The discussion covers the CIA’s origins and Cold War interventions, its high-profile scandals and regime-change tactics, the politicization and lawbreaking that have undermined U.S. intelligence, and the urgent need for oversight and accountability to secure America’s future.
