    The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Chip Roy Sounds the Alarm on AI, Big Tech and America’s Immigration System

    Lisa Boothe sits down with Texas Congressman Chip Roy for a wide-ranging conversation about artificial intelligence, Big Tech, immigration and the problems he believes are preventing Congress from delivering meaningful reform. Roy explains why he supports the potential of AI while raising concerns about its rapid expansion, massive data centers, pressure on the electrical grid and water supplies, government subsidies, job displacement and the growing influence of a small group of technology companies. Rather than calling for sweeping federal regulation, Roy argues for greater transparency, congressional scrutiny and preserving nondigital alternatives — including cash, communications and transportation — so Americans aren't entirely dependent on connected technology. The conversation then turns to immigration. Roy explains his proposal to pause immigration while Congress considers changes involving birthright citizenship, chain migration, diversity visas, public benefits and H-1B visas. Roy has separately introduced legislation in 2026 that would change the H-1B selection process, require employers to make good-faith efforts to hire Americans first and restrict companies that recently conducted layoffs from hiring H-1B workers. Finally, Roy reflects on his time in Washington as he prepares to leave Congress. He discusses lobbying, reelection pressures, congressional spending, compromise and why he believes lawmakers too often focus on gaining influence and committee positions rather than solving major problems. He also talks about returning to Texas, spending more time with his family and remaining involved in public policy after his current term ends. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Truth with Lisa Boothe: John Lott on the Hidden Taxpayer Cost of Illegal Immigration and Criminal Prosecutions

    Lisa Boothe sits down with Crime Prevention Research Center President John Lott for a wide-ranging discussion about illegal immigration, crime, deportations, and the financial cost of prosecuting and incarcerating noncitizens accused of crimes. Lott breaks down his recent research estimating the taxpayer costs associated with criminal prosecutions, using a Virginia fentanyl case to illustrate how legal proceedings, jail time, public defenders, prosecutors, and eventual incarceration can add up. He argues that a relatively straightforward case can cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and that violent-crime prosecutions can be substantially more expensive. His published analysis estimates that prosecuting 248,000 people at $150,000 per case would total $37.2 billion, while a $600,000-per-case scenario would approach $149 billion. Those figures are Lott's estimates and depend on the assumptions used in his analysis. Lisa and Lott also discuss the distinction between being charged with and convicted of a crime, sanctuary policies, ICE enforcement, deportation proceedings, and the challenges of identifying criminal histories from other countries. Later, the conversation turns to recent U.S. crime trends and Lott's argument that tougher enforcement and increased legal concealed carry can help deter crime.

    The Truth with Lisa Boothe: 9/11 Daughter Jeannette Pick: “We Live It Every Day” 25 Years Later

    Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Lisa Boothe sits down with Jeannette Pick, who was just nine years old when her father, Joseph Pick, was killed in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Jeannette recounts the unimaginable experience of being at school in Hoboken, New Jersey, and watching the second plane strike the tower where her father was working on the 94th floor. She shares her memories of her dad—from playing football and tennis together to his love of comic books—and describes how those few minutes on September 11, 2001, have remained with her throughout her life. “For the country it’s once a year, but we all live it every day,” Jeannette tells Lisa, explaining why the anniversary remains so personal for the families of the 2,977 victims and why she believes future generations must continue learning about what happened that day. Jeannette also discusses her participation in a recent press conference involving 9/11 families who object to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attending the 25th anniversary ceremony. She explains that her objection is based on what she describes as his associations with individuals who have minimized or justified the attacks, while making clear that Mamdani himself had nothing to do with 9/11. Mamdani has separately said he intends to commemorate the victims and has participated in events honoring those killed in the attacks. Visit change.org/911ceremony Above all, this is a conversation about a daughter remembering her father—not simply as a victim of 9/11, but as the dad who loved comic books, cheeseburgers, slushies and spending time with his little girl.

    The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Dan Brouillette: Why Gas Prices Aren’t Coming Down Anytime Soon

    Former U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette joins Lisa Boothe to break down the rapidly changing global energy landscape and how President Trump is using America’s energy strength as an economic and geopolitical weapon. Brouillette explains how U.S. oil and gas production has weakened the power of traditional energy cartels, how the war with Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are reshaping global oil markets, and why new pipelines could dramatically reduce Iran’s leverage over one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints. He also examines President Trump’s major Venezuela oil deal, what access to Venezuela’s massive reserves could mean for the United States, and why Americans shouldn’t expect it to bring immediate relief at the gas pump. With gas prices reaching seasonal record highs, Brouillette discusses whether prices could fall before the midterm elections, America’s strained refining capacity, and why greater domestic energy infrastructure may be critical to lowering costs over the long term. Lisa and Brouillette also explore the bigger geopolitical picture—including Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, and how American energy dominance could give the United States greater leverage over its adversaries.

    The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Will Hild Exposes What’s Really Driving the Data Center Backlash

    Lisa Boothe is joined by Will Hild, executive director of Consumers’ Research, for a deep dive into the growing backlash against data centers and the massive infrastructure buildout powering America’s digital economy and artificial intelligence boom. Hild argues that Big Tech helped create its own political problem by failing to explain how essential data centers are to everyday life—and by ignoring legitimate concerns from the communities where these facilities are being built. He breaks down questions surrounding electricity prices, water consumption, noise, development and the impact on local communities, while explaining why he believes many fears surrounding modern data centers are overstated. Lisa and Will also examine allegations of Chinese influence operations targeting the American debate over AI and energy policy, as well as Hild’s argument that elements of the ESG movement have shifted their focus toward opposing data-center development. They discuss how distrust of Big Tech following years of censorship, deplatforming and corporate political activism has helped fuel resistance to the industry’s latest expansion. Plus, Hild explains the potential upside for communities that welcome data centers, including a larger tax base, infrastructure investment and potentially lower property taxes. He makes the case that America can expand the digital infrastructure needed to compete in the AI era—but that companies must once again recognize that the consumer comes first.
