Welcome to The Truth with Lisa Boothe

School Choice Controversy with Nicole

The Impact of Teacher Unions on Education

Federal School Choice Tax Credit Explained

Glenn Youngkin's Political Push for School

Lisa Boothe is joined by Tommy Schultz, CEO of the American Federation for Children, for a wide-ranging conversation about school choice, declining academic performance, teachers unions, and the future of K-12 education in America.

They begin with the debate surrounding Nikole Hannah-Jones and her daughter's public-school experience, examining what Schultz argues it reveals about school choice, academic standards, classroom discipline, testing, and the consequences of putting educational philosophy ahead of an individual child's needs.

Lisa and Tommy also discuss the relationship between politically powerful teachers unions and literacy reform, declining test scores, the lingering effects of COVID-era learning loss, and the amount of money being spent on America's K-12 education system. Schultz offers his perspective on why additional funding has not necessarily translated into stronger academic outcomes.

Plus, Tommy breaks down the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit, which begins in 2027 and allows eligible taxpayers to claim a nonrefundable federal tax credit of up to $1,700 for qualifying contributions to Scholarship Granting Organizations in participating states. Lisa and Tommy discuss how the program could expand educational options for families and why school choice is becoming an increasingly significant issue nationwid

Closing Remarks and Thanks

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.
