Show Notes
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.

"What happens when the actual evidence doesn't match up with the developing public narrative?"
This week, the tables turn. Nick sits in the guest chair on The Long March, the new podcast from our friends at New Guard Press, to talk about the thing he's spent a decade obsessing over: who actually runs the government. Why a president gets 4,500 appointees to steer two million employees. Why most members of Congress never read the bills they vote on. And why a car mechanic who's read everything Michael Anton ever wrote might be a better hire than a Yale grad.
The next time you pass a semi on the interstate, you might want to ask yourself who's behind the wheel. Congresswoman Harriet Hageman did, and she uncovered a quiet crisis among America’s truckers.
Andrew Kloster has been inside the conservative legal movement since long before President Trump came down the golden escalator and reoriented movement towards untouchable issues like immigration and tariffs. He’s been in the biggest right-wing think tanks, legal groups, and even the White House itself. And he’s not blackpilling, so why should you be?
Have you ever wondered how the United States Senate actually works — and why it so often doesn’t?
