This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Christopher Barnard, President of the American Conservation Coalition, who makes the case that conservation is not a left-wing issue... and in fact, it never was.
Chris traces the roots of American conservation back to Teddy Roosevelt, explains the critical difference between conservation and preservation, and lays out what a genuinely pro-human environmental agenda looks like in 2025. They dig into the Make America Beautiful Again executive order, the wildfire crisis caused by decades of terrible forest management, and why regenerative agriculture is one of the most exciting policy opportunities on the right right now.
They also get into energy dominance — what it means, why permitting reform is so urgent, and why America needs to stop choosing between oil and wind and embrace our ability to build everything. If you ever thought environmental issues belonged to the left, let this episode change your mind.
