Summary
This week on Moment of Truth, Nick is joined again by Dan Caldwell, who has a big announcement for fans of American Moment. Dan opens up about his tumultuous year marked by personal trials, including a cancer diagnosis, and shares how God has guided him through it. The duo then dives deep into President Trump's groundbreaking 2025 National Security Strategy and its decisive break from 30 years of failed primacy. Finally, American interests are being put first. They discuss Steve Witkoff's diplomatic wins, the shifting foreign policy paradigm, Ukraine's endgame prospects, and why Europe must reverse its decline. Stick around for the end where Dan shares how "Baby, It's Cold Outside" may have played a role in instigating the rise of Islamic extremism in the 21st century. Yes, really.
