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.

This week on Moment of Truth, the "Maeven of the Senate" Rachel Bovard returns to explain the gritty details behind the effort to remove the filibuster restriction in the U.S. Senate.

Rachel shares the rich history of Senate procedure, how it has changed (and who changed it!), as well as lays out the pros and cons of changing it now at President Trump's request. She also offers some dramatic alternatives that Senate leadership could impose right away that would force Democrats to participate in the deliberative process.

Stick around to the end, as she and Nick share their perspectives on the recent Arctic Frost scandal and how CPI has weather the storm of Jack Smith's investigations.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick is joined by his old friend and mentor, Minnesota Republican State Rep. Max Rymer to explain why the once-proud North Star State has spiraled into crime, fraud, and cultural collapse. From turning an $18 billion surplus into a $6 billion deficit, to becoming the welfare magnet for mass Somali resettlement, to the George Floyd riots that hollowed out Minneapolis and left it a ghost town, Max pulls no punches.

They discuss Little Mogadishu, multi-billion-dollar feeding fraud scandals, a completely captured left-wing institutional infrastructure, and why Minnesota Republicans still can’t get their act together. A raw, insider look at how “Minnesota Nice” became Minnesota’s suicide pact — and whether anything can save it.

Essential listening for anyone wondering how a state can go from America’s model to America’s warning in a single decade.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick is joined by Ian Fletcher, Senior Economist at the Coalition for a Prosperous America.

Ian demolish the sacrosanct state of free trade and explain why America must embrace tariffs, strategic industrial policy, and government-supported technology development if we want to reclaim good jobs and reassert our global competitiveness. Ian also explains why decades of neoliberal dogma have hollowed out America—and what a real pro-worker, pro-industry economic strategy looks like in practice. Plus, stick around for the end to hear him give the Hamiltonian vision for America's economic future and why the Jeffersonian vision has failed.

A must-watch for anyone serious about reindustrialization and putting American workers first!

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick continues to investigate pro-family housing innovation, this time with guest Bobby Fijan, founder of The American Housing Company.

Bobby's passion is building row homes and apartments that offer a "baby, maybe" appeal, allowing young urbanite couples to start families without worrying about having to move in order to accommodate their new needs.

Together, Nick and Bobby walk through the appeal of tight-knit communities, the value of urban living to young conservatives, and what practical changes builders can make to meet the needs of prospective families.

Don't miss this terrific, pro-baby episode!

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick is joined by Brad Hargreaves, a Fellow at The Manhattan Institute and founder of Thesis Driven. Together they rage over Brad's essay about America’s dog obsession and the negative impact it has had on family formation.

Brad explains how cities architect for pets instead of kids as luxury dog spas replace playgrounds and emotional support Yorkies invade grocery stores. And all the while, the cost of living in cities rises.

If you have strong opinions on pets, pitbulls, or the price of housing, you don't want to miss this episode.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick welcomes Morgan Murphy, Trump admin veteran and U.S. Senate candidate for Alabama. Murphy recounts his wild journey from New York Post reporter and Southern Living food critic to Navy officer in Afghanistan, Pentagon press secretary, and eventually landing as national security advisor to Senator Tuberville (AKA "Coach!").

He gives the inside-baseball on Senator Tuberville's heroic stand against the Biden administration's government-funded abortion scheme in the aftermath of the Dobbs Decision, and reveals how pressure was applied by both the Left AND the Right.

Morgan charges MAGA to be on their guard! The Republican Establishment is waiting in the wings, and if they have their way, in three years it will be back to business as usual wars, immigration, and deindustrialization.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Jeremy Tate, founder and CEO of the Classic Learning Test (CLT). Jeremy makes the case that standardized tests form what schools teach, and what schools teach form the next generation. The U.S.’s students deserve better than the SAT and ACT. They need a test that encourages teachers to connect them with the classical learning traditions.

Join Nick and Jeremy as they dive into the flaws of standardized testing, the pitfalls of Common Core, and the CLT’s mission to restore a classical, Western-focused education. Tate also explores the decline in college enrollment, the value of self-education, and the need for credentials rooted in virtue and wisdom.
