The Sickness In Our Healthcare System (ft. Katy Talento)
2026/04/20 | 1h
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Katy Talento, CEO of AllBetter Health and former White House Domestic Policy Council staffer, for one of the most illuminating conversations the show has ever had on healthcare.

Katy traces a career that took her from the Senate HELP Committee to a convent to the Trump White House where she helped win the fight for hospital price transparency, one of the most important and least understood healthcare reforms of the last decade. She breaks down why the Republican approach to healthcare has been a political loser for twenty years, who the real villains in the system are, why your insurance card is probably costing you more than cash would, and why American medicine has no answers for the chronic illness epidemic slowly destroying the country. She also gives a frank assessment of where MAHA stands today and what HHS still needs to do.

This one will change how you think about your own healthcare.

The Modern Merchant Class (ft. Matthew Haller)
2026/04/13 | 54 mins.
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Matthew Haller, President and CEO of the International Franchise Association, for a deep dive into one of the most underappreciated pillars of the American economy. Three and a half percent of US GDP runs through the franchising model and most people have no idea.

Matthew explains how franchising actually works, why it is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to ordinary Americans, and why the left has spent twelve years trying to quietly destroy it through labor regulation. They also get into the history of franchising from Ben Franklin to Ray Kroc, the difference between a Starbucks and a Dunkin Donuts dollar, the incredible story of a Capitol Police officer turned Chick-fil-A franchisee in DC, and the inside scoop of how President Trump ended up behind the fry machine at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.

This one is a genuine education from start to finish.

The Secrets of Red State Power (ft. Noah Wall)
2026/04/06 | 1h
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Noah Wall, founder and president of the State Leadership Initiative, to learn why Republican-run states are, in most meaningful ways, just Democrat-run states with lower taxes.

Noah lays out the full architecture of what he calls "the shadow government" — a constellation of left-wing NGOs that quietly control every major function of state government, from Medicaid to transportation to state parks — and explains why the conservative movement has almost entirely ignored this problem. They dig into why the reddest states tend to produce the worst Republicans, how the Chamber of Commerce has captured the state GOP in ways most voters never see, and what a handful of states like Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Indiana are actually getting right.

If you care about winning, this is the episode to send to everyone you know.

America's New Atomic Age (ft. Isaiah Taylor)
2026/04/03 | 53 mins.
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Isaiah Taylor, founder of Valar Atomics, for a return visit and an update from their first conversation in August 2023, when Isaiah was a solo founder with a pitch deck and a dream.

In less than three years, Valar Atomics has grown to over 100 people, achieved the first-ever startup nuclear criticality in American history, airlifted an entire reactor on three C-17s, and is on track to bring a functional reactor online by July 4th in time for the 250th anniversary of the United States.

They talk about what made all of this possible — namely, four executive orders signed by President Trump — and why it was functionally impossible before that. They also get into the China nuclear gap, why cheap energy is the single most important variable in the geopolitical competition of the next century, and what synthetic hydrocarbons could mean for American energy independence.

Keep your eye on Isaiah and Valar Atomics. This is only the beginning of an incredible story.

Conservation And Our Glorious Heritage (ft. Chris Barnard)
2026/03/23 | 56 mins.
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Christopher Barnard, President of the American Conservation Coalition, who makes the case that conservation is not a left-wing issue... and in fact, it never was.

Chris traces the roots of American conservation back to Teddy Roosevelt, explains the critical difference between conservation and preservation, and lays out what a genuinely pro-human environmental agenda looks like in 2025. They dig into the Make America Beautiful Again executive order, the wildfire crisis caused by decades of terrible forest management, and why regenerative agriculture is one of the most exciting policy opportunities on the right right now.

They also get into energy dominance — what it means, why permitting reform is so urgent, and why America needs to stop choosing between oil and wind and embrace our ability to build everything. If you ever thought environmental issues belonged to the left, let this episode change your mind.
