    Ted from Little Rock AR writes, OK maybe I’m being a conspiracy theorist here but is all seems just a bit convenient. Trump skips his oldest sons wedding and low and behold, shots are fired on the White House grounds, making it look like a really pathetic assassination attempt. I know there are crazy people out there and Trump is unpopular, but, I don’t know this all seems so, conveniently staged. What does the panel think?

    Renee from Dallas Texas Writes, Even though his poll numbers are in the low 30s it would seem the Trump hold on the Republican party is still strong. Here in Texas, Paxton has won the primary ousting John Cornyn. It wasn’t only a win, it was a massive win for Paxton. (As I write this Paxton is up by more than 20 points.)  Now I was never a fan of Cornyn, but Paxton is on a different level of POS. Democrats seem happy that Paxton won, I’m guessing because they think they will have an easier time beating Paxton in the general.  What does the panel think? Is Paxton the easier candidate. Rumors have it that Cornyn might run as an independent. Do you think he will and will this have an impact on the general? Might Cornyn, like Massie, use his remaining time to trash Trump?

    Questions from ASU S5E61 05.25.2026

    John from Tempe Arizona writes, I’ve listened to the Nova Society for over 3 years now and enjoy the show. I teach political theory at the local university, (ASU) and my classes are in a heated discussions regarding the state of politics in America today. I have listened with interest to your take regarding the Trump Presidency. I think the panel has some different views as to what and why we are seeing what we are seeing. This may be an unusual request, but I hope the panel will consider it. My class cannot agree if Trump is the symptom or the disease. They cannot decide if the problem is the system, just Trump, or the people. They also cannot come up with a clear plan on how to fix the current state of American politics. I was wondering if the panel would take up these questions and with your permission, I’d like to present that episode to my 5 classes to further our discussions. Thank you for considering this request.

    Trump's IRS settlement and a slush fund for the Proud Boys S5E60 05.22.2026

    Tonya from Westminster, Indiana writes, So Trump’s suit against the IRS is personally paying off for him. His DOJ signed off on a deal that not only forbids looking back at Trump and his families tax evasion over the years but creates a over 1-billion-dollar slush fund to reward the January 6th traitors that attacked our capital. This is so obviously corrupt it’s almost mindboggling. I know the numbers are on the Republican side, and there is little Democrats can do but whine. But after the midterms isn’t there something that can be done? Some Republicans are complaining about the slush fund but we don’t hear much about the Trump IRS pass, I doubt they will stand up and do what’s right but I can always hope. Can these 2 corrupt policies be challenged in any way that avoids having to deal with the spineless Republicans, or are we the people just going to simply accept this? We pay taxes Trump doesn’t. We stand for law-and-order Trump pardons and gives money, our money, to his supporting traitors. WTF
