On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for a wide-ranging and hard-hitting conversation on national security, higher education, and the future of the American economy.
Stefanik explains why the Iran conflict should be viewed through a national security lens—not public opinion polls—and outlines the long-term threat posed by Iran’s military ambitions. She also addresses concerns about rising energy costs and how the administration plans to stabilize the economy.
The conversation then shifts to the growing “moral and academic rot” inside elite universities, including explosive claims about foreign funding, DEI influence, and rising antisemitism on campus. Stefanik breaks down what she believes is driving these trends—and what policymakers can do to fix them.
📚 Plus: Stefanik discusses her new book, Poison Ivy: Inside the Collapse of America’s Elite Institutions — offering an insider account of how top universities lost their way, what’s fueling campus radicalism, and how the next generation can reclaim academic excellence.
She also weighs in on New York’s economic decline, high taxes, and the continued exodus of residents from blue states.
