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.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Tom Sauer, founder & CEO of Miramar Health—a veteran-focused rehab center in California. Tom shares how from an early age, the impact of mental illness and addiction touch his life through his father's struggles and, once he had returned from serving his country in the Marines and in the Navy, he felt the pull to step in. Thousands of veterans are being failed by the VA system and costs of that failure are human lives.

Through his work with Miramar and in political advocacy with President Trump's Access Act, Tom is making a difference.

This episode is a must-watch for patriots who care about veterans and their health.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Luke Niforatos, Vice President of Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), to unpack why "pot is bad" as well as the dangers of wider drug legalization.

Modern marijuana is far more addictive and harmful than the weed of decades past, contributing to mental health crises, violence, and addiction. Luke exposes the dark side of the marijuana industry, from cartel involvement to corruption in regulation, and warns against the push for psychedelic legalization, which poses even greater risks. Drug policies should not be relegated to libertarian thought experiments and Luke and SAM are exceptional examples of how to engage on this issue.

They also delve into the struggles of young Americans, who face a tough job market, declining marriage rates, and soaring housing costs.

American Moment identifies, educates, and credentials young, aligned conservatives to serve in Washington, D.C.

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Rachel Bovard, Vice President of Programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute, for a deep dive into the U.S. Senate’s inner workings. Rachel became a seasoned Senate expert working under Sen. Mike Lee and was a thorn in Mitch McConnell's side.

Here she unpacks the post-nuclear era of confirmations, exposing why 140 civilian nominations languish despite a streamlined process and revealing the inefficiencies and power plays stalling progress. Rachel discusses Majority Leader John Thune’s role, the impact of Democratic obstruction (it's less than Republicans would have you believe), and how senators’ aversion to work hinders critical appointments.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about Washington’s gridlock.
