Moment of Truth

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.Follow Kevin: https://x.com/kevin_oreilly7Follow American Moment across Social Media:X / Twitter – https://x.com/americanmomentFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/AmMomentOrgInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/ammomentorg/YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4qmB5DeiFxt53ZPZiW4TcgFollow Us on Twitter:Nick Solheim – https://x.com/NickSolheimAmerican Moment's "Moment of Truth" Podcast is recorded at the Conservative Partnership Campus in Washington DC, produced by American Moment Studios, and edited by Jake Mercier and Hunter Smith, with original graphics by Jared Cummings.Subscribe to our Podcast, "Moment of Truth"Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moment-of-truth/id1555257529Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5ATl0x7nKDX0vVoGrGNhAj Hosted on Acast.
