    Don’t Forget About Big Tech (ft. Joel Thayer)

    2026-1-26 | 51 mins.
    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.

    The Poverty Lie (ft. Michael Green)

    2026-1-19 | 1h 5 mins.
    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.

    Total Boomer Luxury Communism (ft. Russ Greene)

    2026-1-12 | 54 mins.
    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!

    You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Repair (ft. Kevin O'Reilly)

    2026-1-05 | 52 mins.
    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.
