On this episode, Lisa breaks down the state of the U.S. economy under President Trump’s second term and what it means for workers, businesses, and your wallet. The Heritage Foundation Economist Peter St. Onge joins the show to analyze how tax cuts, deregulation, and tariffs are reshaping growth—and whether it’s working.

We dive into rising oil prices, inflation concerns, and why Americans still feel squeezed despite cooling inflation numbers. Plus, a closer look at tariffs as both a negotiating tool and a potential tax on consumers, and whether they’re truly bringing jobs back to the U.S.

The conversation also explores the future of artificial intelligence and automation—what jobs are most at risk, where new opportunities could emerge, and how wages may shift in the years ahead.

Finally, we unpack the real impact of the latest tax changes, including how the “Big Beautiful Bill” is affecting refunds, small businesses, and long-term economic growth.

Are Republicans heading into a midterm “buzzsaw” — or can they defy history?

In this episode, Lisa Boothe sits down with Jessica Anderson to break down the early warning signs shaping the upcoming midterm elections. From shifting voter sentiment to the impact of foreign policy and economic concerns, they dive deep into what could determine control of Congress.

How early voting, mail-in ballots, and data-driven outreach could decide close races
Key Senate battlegrounds including Michigan, Georgia, and North Carolina
Whether fears of “political chaos” could sway undecided voters

Is the Iran ceasefire already falling apart?

In this episode, Lisa breaks down the fragile state of the current U.S.–Iran ceasefire and why control of the Strait of Hormuz remains the biggest sticking point. Retired Vice Admiral John “Fozzie” Miller explains how Iranian aggression, maritime threats, and potential mining of key shipping routes could signal a major violation—and what it means for global oil markets and international trade.

We also dive into:
Why Iran’s decentralized military structure makes regime change so difficult
The growing role of the IRGC in controlling both conflict and negotiations
How economic pressure—not just military force—could determine the outcome
The real risks of prolonged war vs. forced resolution
Iran’s nuclear capabilities and the global threat of enriched uranium
What a post-regime Iran could realistically look like

Plus, a behind-the-scenes look at a daring U.S. military rescue mission and what it reveals about American capabilities, leadership decisions, and the “no man left behind” ethos.

If you want a clear-eyed, strategic breakdown of the Iran conflict, ceasefire risks, and what comes next—this is a must-listen.
