This week on Moment of Truth, Nick interviews Nathan Pinkoski about Jean Raspail's controversial 1973 novel, The Camp of the Saints, newly republished in English by Vauban Books with Pinkoski's introduction.

They explore the book's premise—a million immigrants sail to France, forcing Western institutions (government, military, media, and the church) to confront an influx of people—and make the case that it is a profound mirror to the West's spiritual malaise, cowardice, evasion of responsibility, and loss of love for one's own country.

They address what the author got right (such as spiritual sickness and authority crisis) and what he got wrong, and they examine the modern parallels to Europe and America today in elite conversions and institutional failures.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with tech policy expert Joel Thayer to dissect Big Tech's power, past abuses, and the path forward under the Trump administration.

They revisit landmark censorship moments—like the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, Parler's deplatforming, and Trump's ban from major platforms—and warn against forgetting these violations of free expression. Thayer highlights conservative antitrust efforts by figures like Senators Blackburn, Hawley, Lee, and Grassley, praises key Trump-era actions (FCC Section 230 review, DOJ Google probe), and credits carryover wins in the Biden years.

They critique Big Tech's China entanglements, mass layoffs of American workers, reliance on foreign labor, and profit-driven amorality. The conversation explores agency roles (FTC, DOJ, FCC, NTIA), the need for America First priorities, and skepticism toward Big Tech's recent "turn" toward conservatives.

Remember, Big Tech is not your friend.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Michael Green to unpack his viral Substack essay "My Life Is A Lie," which exposes the harsh economic realities facing American families today.

Green dismantles the official poverty line (~$32k for a family of four), revealing how skyrocketing costs—especially childcare, housing, and healthcare—combined with a brutal, hidden benefits cliff creates a "valley of death" between $40k–$100k incomes where putting in the extra effort generates more penalties than gains.

The conversation covers generational wealth erosion, policy failures, and surprising optimism for Gen Z's resilience and realism.

This episode is for out-of-the-box thinkers and stat-lovers, and provides a rage-inducing yet hopeful look at what it really takes to build a life in modern America.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Russ Greene to unpack his viral American Mind article, "Total Boomer Luxury Communism." He reveals how massive wealth transfers via Social Security, Medicare, and property taxbreaks favor affluent seniors (the richest cohort globally) at the expense of younger workers.

Topics include program generosity to high earners (e.g., golf and horseback riding covered by Medicare Advantage), impending insolvency, why "line go up" is actually masking our decline, and generational injustice through taxes/debt/crowding out. A must-listen for anyone under 50 feeling the squeeze.

Congrats to Russ on his recent wedding!

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick Solheim kicks off Season 6 with Kevin O'Reilly to unpack Right to Repair and its massive national security implications.

Kevin explains how manufacturers lock out owners from parts, tools, and software—hitting farmers, consumers, and crucially, the U.S. military. They discuss real battlefield risks, obscene contractor profits, the recent unsuccessful NDAA push, and why empowering military techs to fix their own gear is urgent. Though it's a little bit in the policy weeds, you won't want to miss this gripping case for ownership, competition, and putting national defense over corporate rent-seeking.

If you care about innovation, warfighting effectiveness, or just a cheaper trip to the mechanic, this one's for you.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Nate Morris, the avowed America First entrepreneur running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell.

Nate tells the story of how he went from his blue-collar roots in a single-parent home to founding Rubicon Technologies, a $700M waste management powerhouse, even as he watched career politicians sell his people out to NAFTA. Nate discusses the friendship with JD Vance that blossomed from their similar life experiences, and shares about the endorsement he received from Charlie Kirk right before his murder.

Above all, Nate is emphatic that Kentucky, and the United States Senate, are in need of drastic change if the people are going to be served and restored.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick is joined again by Dan Caldwell, who has a big announcement for fans of American Moment.

Dan opens up about his tumultuous year marked by personal trials, including a cancer diagnosis, and shares how God has guided him through it. The duo then dives deep into President Trump's groundbreaking 2025 National Security Strategy and its decisive break from 30 years of failed primacy. Finally, American interests are being put first.

They discuss Steve Witkoff's diplomatic wins, the shifting foreign policy paradigm, Ukraine's endgame prospects, and why Europe must reverse its decline.

Stick around for the end where Dan shares how "Baby, It's Cold Outside" may have played a role in instigating the rise of Islamic extremism in the 21st century. Yes, really.
