Roots, Rights, & Reason With Lee Smith - Episode 2: Unmasking Globalism- The Truth About Tariffs

In this episode of Roots, Rights & Reason, host Lee Smith talks with trade expert Alan Tonelson about how globalism and decades of failed trade policy gutted America’s industrial strength. Tonelson exposes how U.S. corporations offshored manufacturing to China while selling those goods back to Americans, leading to job loss and national vulnerability. Together, they unpack the truth behind the trade deficit and explain why tariffs, once championed by leaders from Hamilton to Reagan, must be revived. This is a must-listen for anyone ready to rethink economic sovereignty and understand what’s at stake in today’s global economy.
