Welcome to The Truth with Lisa Boothe

Remembering a Father Lost on 9/11

A Child's Eyeview of the Tragedy

The Ongoing Impact of Loss

Challenging Mayor Adams' Attendance

Personal Reflections on 9/11 Anniversaries

Closing Thoughts and Gratitude

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.

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.

Global Energy Landscape Shifts

Trump's Energy Strategy

Pipelines and Infrastructure Development

Strait of Hormuz Update

Venezuela Oil Deal and Its Implications

Gas Prices and Future Outlook

Closing Remarks and Acknowledgments

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 Data Center Debate

The Consumer's Perspective

The Role of Foreign Influence

Addressing Community Concerns

The Benefits of Data Centers

The Changing Relationship Between

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.
