The Nova Society

Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!Today, our question is from Europe Mario, who lives in Rennes, France. I feel fortunate that I have no plans to visit the US. In a recent podcast, your entire panel basically said Don’t come.  It was, I thought, honest advice based on the current chaos in the US. But I did see that someone in your government, I’m sorry I can’t remember who, is suggesting that visitors be required to show their social media posts for the 5 years before visiting.  If this is true, why do you think this is even being considered, and what might be the consequences? Support the showThe Nova Society Podcast Season 4 every Monday - Friday!

Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!Today we hear from Ted from Quincy, Illinois, who asks, I don’t know if the panel is aware, but for the first time, the US has been placed on a security risk paper from Denmark. The paper says that the US might use its economic and even military power to take over Greenland. That ranks us right up there with China and Russia. Not the list I’d want to be on.  So, should the Danes be concerned? Or is this just more Trump bluster making them nervous? Support the showThe Nova Society Podcast Season 4 every Monday - Friday!

Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!Today, we hear from Tori from Scranton, Pennsylvania, who asks: "I was reading a report that stated the FED is divided and preparing to consider lowering interest rates." I’m a little confused as to what impact this might have on our economy. So, should they lower the rate?  If so, by how much? And can you explain what the effect might be of reducing the rate or keeping it the same? Will this help prices come down? Support the showThe Nova Society Podcast Season 4 every Monday - Friday!

Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!Today, we answer an email from Emily, who lives in Olympia, Washington, asking, So there is a lot of talk about Democrats outperforming Kamala Harris in recent special elections. The pundits are claiming that this is a bellwether for things to come in the 2026 midterms. First, do you agree with that? Second, is this shift due to Harris being a terrible candidate or a rejection of Trump’s policies? And if there is time, one last question, I see that the VA bar association has decided to punt the football on disbarring Lindsey Halligan. Why do you think they are reluctant to act, and shouldn’t state bar associations hold these incompetent and corrupt Trump lawyers accountable? Support the showThe Nova Society Podcast Season 4 every Monday - Friday!

Send us a message!Today we hear from Jasmine, who lives in Sacramento, California, and asks, “I saw that NATO head Mark Rutte is warning Vladimir Putin that 'NATO isn’t going anywhere. ' This is after Putin said that Russia is willing to go to war with Europe. Do you guys see this as an empty threat by Putin? If so, what do you see as the purpose? If Russia did go to war with Europe and NATO was activated, what do you think the US might do? Support the showThe Nova Society Podcast Season 4 every Monday - Friday!
