This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Dan Caldwell, former Senior Advisor to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, for an in-depth discussion on America’s role in global conflicts. Caldwell covers the challenges of a strained U.S. defense industrial base, the realities of supporting Ukraine, and the fallout from the 12-day Israel-Iran war. But the vital fact that he says we can no longer ignore? The bombs and interceptors we build cost far more than the ones being built by our rivals. If this continues unattended, the U.S.'s defenses will be severally depleted.


With sharp analysis and candid reflections, this episode unpacks the tough choices facing U.S. national security. Tune in for a no-nonsense look at America’s military priorities and the path to a restrained, realist foreign policy.
