In today's episode of Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Tim Rice, Deputy Managing Editor at The Daily Wire, to unpack the chaos within the Democratic Party. From Biden’s mental decline to AOC’s rising star, they dissect the left’s self-inflicted wounds, the 2026 midterms, and the GOP’s momentum. They dive into the left’s failure to connect with voters, the power of populist rhetoric, and why the mainstream media’s tone has shifted since Trump’s first term. They also explore the cultural phenomenon of “bros” and podcast culture and why the left can’t keep up.
