What does the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on redistricting mean for the future of American elections? On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa is joined by Zack Smith of the The Heritage Foundation to break down the Court’s major decision striking down Louisiana’s second majority-Black congressional district as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

They unpack the clash between the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, what this means for redistricting battles in states like Texas, California, Virginia, and Florida, and how it could impact congressional control in the upcoming midterms. Plus, they discuss the growing legal war over political vs. racial gerrymandering, the role of census data, and why this decision could trigger a nationwide redistricting domino effect.

Is this a win for equal protection under the Constitution—or the beginning of a new political arms race?

On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa Boothe is joined by Jonathan T. Gilliam to break down the alarming security failures surrounding the latest attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

How did an armed suspect breach security with top government officials—including the president, vice president, and Cabinet—inside the same venue? Why wasn’t the event designated a National Special Security Event? And what does this reveal about the current state of the United States Secret Service?

Lisa and Jonathan dive into the tactical failures, the response breakdown, and the bigger questions about how presidential protection needs to change moving forward. They also discuss whether a permanent secure White House ballroom is overdue—and what reforms are necessary to prevent the next close call.

In this episode, Lisa welcomes Rebeccah Heinrichs from the Hudson Institute to break down the rapidly evolving U.S.–Iran conflict and what comes next.

Together, they unpack the current stalemate facing Donald Trump’s strategy, as military success gives way to a far more complicated political reality. With Iran’s leadership fractured and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps increasingly acting independently, the path to a lasting resolution looks anything but clear.

The conversation dives into the high-stakes battle over the Strait of Hormuz, where ongoing threats continue to disrupt global energy markets and raise the risk of broader conflict. Why hasn’t the U.S. been able to rally allies to secure it—and what does that say about America’s position on the world stage?

Lisa and Rebeccah also explore whether this conflict is drifting toward a prolonged war, what a realistic “win” actually looks like, and how internal divisions inside Iran could ultimately reshape the outcome.
