Political strategist and pollster Chris Wilson joins Lisa Boothe to break down the state of the 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party's turnout problem, the Democratic Party's move to the left and why traditional political polling is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. Wilson, CEO of Eyes Over Technologies, explains why Republicans are facing a challenging but highly competitive midterm environment. While history favors Democrats and Republican voter intensity remains a concern, the GOP could benefit from the Senate map, redistricting and Democratic candidates who may be too far left for their states. So what should Republicans actually campaign on? Wilson argues that the winning message comes down to four words: affordability, security, trust and confidence. He explains why candidates should focus on the cost of groceries and everyday life, public safety, competent government and delivering tangible results for voters rather than relying on generic attacks about socialism. Lisa and Chris also examine critical Senate races in Michigan, Alaska, North Carolina, Ohio and elsewhere, along with the challenge of getting lower-propensity Trump voters back to the polls when Donald Trump himself isn't on the ballot. Then they tackle one of the biggest questions in modern politics: Can we still trust the polls? Wilson explains how declining response rates, inaccurate turnout models, early voting and rapidly changing public opinion are making traditional polling increasingly complicated. Finally, Wilson explains how artificial intelligence, online conversation analysis and real-time narrative tracking could transform political campaigns by showing not just where voters stand today, but where public opinion is moving heading into Election Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin joins Lisa Boothe to discuss the battle for the 2026 midterm elections, the affordability crisis facing American families, school choice, parents' rights and what he sees as the growing influence of socialism inside the Democratic Party. Youngkin, who won one of the country's most closely watched battleground races in Virginia in 2021, explains what Republicans need to do to win over voters in a difficult midterm environment. He argues that the GOP must acknowledge the pain Americans are feeling from inflation and higher gas prices while making a stronger case for its economic agenda. Youngkin also discusses his push to expand educational freedom and school choice through a federal tax credit that can help families pay for private school tuition, tutoring, transportation and additional educational services. He explains why he's pressuring Democratic governors to opt into the program and why he believes teachers unions remain one of the biggest obstacles to expanding parental choice. Lisa and Youngkin revisit the famous moment from the 2021 Virginia governor's race when Terry McAuliffe said he didn't believe parents should be telling schools what to teach. Youngkin explains why that moment crystallized a fundamental political divide over who should make decisions for America's children. Finally, Youngkin sounds the alarm over the ideological direction of the Democratic Party, arguing that socialists are winning its internal battle and that Republicans have an opportunity to contrast their agenda with the progressive left heading into November.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What did Dr. Anthony Fauci know privately about COVID vaccines—and what was the American public being told at the same time? On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Senator Ron Johnson joins Lisa for an explosive conversation about his ongoing investigation into the government's COVID-19 response and newly obtained communications from Fauci’s government-issued devices. Johnson discusses a private Fauci message that he says raised concerns about vaccination and pregnancy, why he believes the issue goes far beyond the debate over miscarriage statistics, and his argument that Americans were denied information necessary to make fully informed medical decisions. The Wisconsin senator also reveals what investigators are finding as they work through tens of thousands of Fauci text messages, hundreds of voice messages and other government records. Johnson explains why identifying the people behind hundreds of phone numbers has become a critical part of the investigation—and why he says his team is being careful not to release private information unrelated to public policy. Lisa and Sen. Johnson also discuss Fauci’s handling of the COVID pandemic, gain-of-function research, vaccine safety surveillance, the relationship between government health agencies and pharmaceutical companies, and Johnson’s allegations that career bureaucrats are resisting efforts to uncover additional records. Johnson says investigators are now seeking devices and communications associated with other former government health officials as his probe expands—and declares that despite years of pursuing answers about the pandemic, the investigation has “only just begun.” Plus, Johnson explains why he believes America still needs a full COVID reckoning before the next public health crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
