Thereafter, Smoot published his weekly syndicated "The Dan Smoot Report". He also carried his conservative message via weekly reports over radio. "The Dan Smoot Report" started with 3,000 paid subscribers; at its peak in 1965, it had more than 33,000 subscribers. Each newsletter usually focused on one major story. One issue, for instance, was devoted to the Alaska Mental Health Bill of 1956, which Smoot claimed was a communist conspiracy to establish concentration camps on American soil. Another issue lionized Douglas MacArthur after his death in the spring of 1964.
