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.

The conversation covers key battleground states, turnout challenges, and whether Republicans can energize low-propensity voters without former President Donald Trump on the ballot. Plus, how issues like the Iran conflict, gas prices, and trust in leadership are influencing independent voters and shaping the political landscape.

They also explore:
Why midterms historically hurt the party in power—and if 2026 could be different
The role of voter trust, messaging, and economic perception
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.

In this episode, bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer joins Lisa to expose the shocking revelations from his new book The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.

Schweizer reveals how mass immigration has been deliberately transformed from a humanitarian issue into a strategic political tool — one wielded by American elites, foreign governments, activist NGOs, and powerful institutions to reshape elections, demographics, culture, and governance in the United States.

Far from accidental policy failure, this “invisible coup” is a calculated long-term power play. Peter breaks down the coordinated influence campaigns operating behind the scenes, the role of foreign actors in shaping U.S. policy debates, and how educational institutions and NGOs have helped manufacture public consent for policies that benefit the powerful at the expense of everyday Americans.

This eye-opening conversation pulls back the curtain on weaponized immigration and explains why it poses one of the greatest challenges to America’s future sovereignty and national identity.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
How immigration became a tool for political and demographic engineering
The foreign interests and governments actively shaping U.S. immigration policy
The hidden role of NGOs, activist networks, and educational institutions in influencing public opinion
Why The Invisible Coup argues this strategy is deliberate — not accidental or incompetent
What informed citizens can do to understand the tactics and push back effectively

If you want to understand the real forces driving the border crisis, demographic shifts, and political polarization in America today, this is an episode you cannot miss.
