Iran, Robot (ft. Will Thibeau)
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Will Thibeau, Director of the American Military Project at Claremont's DC Center for the American Way of Life, for a wide-ranging conversation on the wars reshaping American foreign policy right now. They cover the Iran deal vs. the JCPOA, why the nuclear threat has always been more complicated than neocons made it sound, and Will explains the helpful concepts of “battlefield geometry” and “battlefield algebra” that have fundamentally changed modern warfare.They break down why Ukraine has been able to hold Russia at bay and evaluate how Iran's cheap drones mean that destroying 90% of their combat power still leaves dangerous residual capability. They also get into autonomous weapons, the Anthropic vs. Department of War dispute, and what D.C. staffers making policy in right now need to understand about all of it.Follow Will: https://x.com/WilliamThibeau Follow American Moment across Social Media:X / Twitter – https://x.com/americanmomentFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/AmMomentOrgInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/ammomentorg/YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4qmB5DeiFxt53ZPZiW4TcgAmerican Moment's "Moment of Truth" Podcast is recorded at the Conservative Partnership Campus in Washington DC, produced by American Moment Studios, and edited by Hunter Smith, with original graphics by Jared Cummings.Subscribe to our Podcast, "Moment of Truth"Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moment-of-truth/id1555257529Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5ATl0x7nKDX0vVoGrGNhAj Hosted on Acast.

Midterms on the Mind (ft. Ryan Girdusky)
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Ryan Girdusky — political consultant, author, and OG American Moment board member — for the most honest breakdown of the 2026 midterms you are going to hear anywhere. Ryan rates Republicans chance of keeping the House, explains ‘midterm math,’ and walks through the Senate race by race — North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Maine, and more. He has strong opinions about the trouble in Texas, the mess in Maine, and the missteps in Michigan, and he explains what it’s going to take from Republicans to win in those hot seats. And stick around till the end for a breakdown on the SAVE act and whether or not Republicans should force an early census to pick up some more redistricting wins.

Moment of Truth Live at Reindustrialize (ft. Mark Widmar)
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick hosts a discussion with Mark Widmar, CEO of First Solar, for a live impromptu recording at the Reindustrialize conference. First Solar is one of the most important American manufacturing success stories nobody is talking about, proving that, yes, you CAN build products in America. This semiconductor company has built six factories in the United States, employs 40,000 Americans across its supply chain, and generates $4 billion in annual payroll, all while going head to head with China on solar technology. Mark explains how First Solar has integrated AI into manufacturing at full scale since 2022, why the average job at their facilities pays $80,000 a year, and what it actually looks like to build a factory in a community that lost everything to deindustrialization. We hope you enjoy this rare conversation with someone who is actually building things in America right now.Check out First Solar: https://www.firstsolar.com/ Follow Reindustrialize: https://x.com/reindsummit Follow American Moment across Social Media:X / Twitter – https://x.com/americanmomentFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/AmMomentOrgInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/ammomentorg/YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4qmB5DeiFxt53ZPZiW4TcgAmerican Moment's "Moment of Truth" Podcast is recorded at the Conservative Partnership Campus in Washington DC, produced by American Moment Studios, and edited by Hunter Smith, with original graphics by Jared Cummings.Subscribe to our Podcast, "Moment of Truth"Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moment-of-truth/id1555257529Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5ATl0x7nKDX0vVoGrGNhAj Hosted on Acast.

Can The CIA Be Saved? (ft. George Beebe)
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with George Beebe, Director of Grand Strategy at the Quincy Institute and former head of the CIA's Russia desk, for a rare insider's look at how the intelligence community actually works… and what needs to change. George explains the real power structure of the IC and why ODNI was created to manage it all. They also get into domestic surveillance and where the legal lines actually are, how congressional oversight has become more kabuki theater than real accountability, what questions new members of the Intel committees should be asking, and how the IC can begin to rebuild trust with the American people. If you work anywhere near these issues, or have a curiosity for how actual deep state mechanics work, this episode is required listening.Follow George: https://x.com/GeorgeBeebe13Follow American Moment across Social Media:X / Twitter – https://x.com/americanmomentFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/AmMomentOrgInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/ammomentorg/YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4qmB5DeiFxt53ZPZiW4TcgAmerican Moment's "Moment of Truth" Podcast is recorded at the Conservative Partnership Campus in Washington DC, produced by American Moment Studios, and edited by Hunter Smith, with original graphics by Jared Cummings.Subscribe to our Podcast, "Moment of Truth"Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moment-of-truth/id1555257529Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5ATl0x7nKDX0vVoGrGNhAj Hosted on Acast.

The War on Truckers (ft. Gord Magill)
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Gord Magill, author of End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers, for an illuminating conversation about American labor. Gord is a third-generation trucker from Canada who has driven across four countries and spent years figuring out why the industry that moves everything in America has become, in his words, “a complete dumpster fire." He breaks down the driver shortage narrative that the American Trucking Associations have been running since 1987… and why it has always been a lie. He also exposes the flood of non-domiciled CDLs being issued to people who don't speak English, and breaks down the big legal battles of the day with the Delilah's Law stall in Congress and the Supreme Court's Montgomery v. Caribe Bay decision. This episode is a good reminder that behind every policy debate are legions of workers and logistics where livelihoods (and lives) are at stake.

Patriots In Control At The Small Business Administration (ft. Admin. Kelly Loeffler)
For Moment of Truth episode 250, Nick is joined by Kelly Loeffler, Administrator of the Small Business Administration, for a live Moment of Truth event, with a special introduction by Michael Stumo of the OMB’s Made in America office. In anticipation for America’s 250th birthday, Administrator Loeffler takes us through one of the quintessential founding tenants of our nation: the dream of ownership, exploration, and creation. She shares the story of what she found walking in on day one of the Trump administration, including 90% of staff working from home, loan programs used as cookie jars, and what turned out to be $200 billion in fraudulent COVID-era loans that Biden's team quietly gave de facto amnesty. They also explore the reindustrialization of America, the role small manufacturers play in the defense supply chain, the fight against the Green New Deal, and why the people saying Americans won't work manufacturing jobs are completely wrong.Thank you to the Administrator for the gracious gift of her time on this very special episode. We hope you enjoy it and send it to any of the current (or aspiring!) small business owners you know. Happy 250!

Zemmour in America (ft. Éric Zemmour)
Éric Zemmour — French author, journalist, presidential candidate, and one of the most important voices in the Western nationalist movement — joins Nick this week to discuss his landmark book, The Suicide of France, now available in English for the first time. Zemmour walks through what France looked like in the era of De Gaulle, how assimilation worked and then broke, and how immigration turned from a managed flow into what he calls an invasion and then a colonization. He draws sweeping parallels between France's civilizational crisis and what is now unfolding in America, makes the case that Samuel Huntington was right, explains the Molotov-Ribbentrop dynamic between woke ideology and political Islam. Through all that, he insists that there is still yet hope for France and for America, but only if the people will mobilize to defend their way of life and their future. A special thank you to Nathan Pinkoski for his translation work that made this interview possible.

Techno Babel: Christians and the AI Problem (ft. Dr. Mark Mitchell)
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Dr. Mark Mitchell, Dean of Academic Affairs at Patrick Henry College and author of the forthcoming book Breaking Babel, for one of the most theologically and philosophically rich conversations the show has had yet. The subject is AI, but not in the way you usually hear it discussed. Dr. Mitchell proposes that the Tower of Babel is a lens for understanding what happens when human beings use language and technology to usurp the authority of God, and follows that thread all the way through large language models, artificial general intelligence, the epidemic of loneliness, the collapse of genuine human competency, and what it means that we are increasingly unable to tell the difference between communion with a person and the simulation of one. He also makes a sharp distinction between tool AI and general AI, cleanly dividing using a tool from the worship of a tool made in one’s own image. This episode is more philosophy than policy, but it offers a clear and constructive voice from the AI-skeptical camp.
