Frist from Tony from Anne Arbor, Michigan writes: Trump continues to attack our nation's fundamental institutions. Now he’s talking about “nationalizing” elections. I’m pretty sure this isn’t something he can actually do, but I could use some reassurance. I know Brooklynn will sound the alarm, Dr. Scott will sit on the fence, and Dr. Mark w...

Today, we hear from Andrew from Rochester, Minnesota, who writes I’m sure there are plenty of listeners writing about the chaos in my home state, so I wanted to ask a couple of different questions. So, we have the Board of Peace. Oh, boy, what a motley crew. Do you think they will have any impact, or do you see this board as a billion dollars poorly spent, and they w...
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 Nick from Portland, Maine, who writes: Another killing by ICE in Minneapolis. I really cannot understand how those idiots in the administration and many in the public can justify what is clearly a murder.

Today, our question comes from James, who lives in Olympia, Washington, and writes: I’d like to talk about money and trade.

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 have a question from Ronald from Topeka, Kansas: "I am a retired Army officer who served 20 years in military intelligence." I therefore fully understand the importance of our NATO alliance. I will also disclose that I did vote for Trump in 2024, and I deeply regret that vote. Trump seems to be against Europe as a whole, and that means NAT...
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 Kaylee from Newark, New Jersey writes: Well, Trump finally got his Nobel Peace Prize. Unearned, of course, and the Nobel Committee has clearly stated that, regardless of the actual winner, Machado, giving him the prize, he will not be credited with the win. I saw pictures of him taking the prize, and I must say I was so embarrassed. He ...

Today, we have a question from Brett, who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, writes: It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the weaponization of the Department of Justice against Trump's enemies. Next up, Jerome Powell of the FED. I saw he addressed this investigation in a recorded statement. To date, prosecutions against Comey, Letisha James, and others have been...

Today we have a question from Tricia from Jersey City, New Jersey, writes I recently saw that this Greenland debacle is starting to escalate. Germany is deploying 2 warships to Greenland, and the EU is discussing establishing a 100,000-strong joint military force.

Today, our question comes from Dante from Council Bluff, Iowa, who writes: The tragic shooting of Renee Good is on everyone's mind. We are still getting more information regarding this tragic death. The Administration is painting this as justified and making Ms. Good, not the victim, but the reason for her death. I think this narrative is shameful, but there are outl...

Today, we hear from Nigel from Orlando, Florida, who writes: I’m sure your mailbag is getting blown up with questions about the US attacking Venezuela and the arrest of President Maduro.

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 Steven, who lives in Tidewater, Virginia, writes, Well, the 'numbers' are out and the A++++++ economy doesn’t seem to be as +++++ as Trump is touting. Unemployment is being reported as 4.8%, the highest in many years. The Federal jobs report numbers are shady, to say the least, and as Dr. Scott has pointed out, the most reliable information seems t...

Although this type of behavior is no surprise to ...
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 email is from Roberta from New Orleans, Louisiana. Trump is bragging about detaining an oil tanker from Venezuela. He has recently authorized a blockade on tankers entering and leaving Venezuela's sovereign waters.

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! So today we hear from David, who lives in Paul’s Valley, Oklahoma, asks, Well, Trump got his peace prize. What an embarrassment for FIFA. But in usual Trump fashion, he was almost gleeful and acted like a child winning his first spelling bee. FIFA is a large, influential international organization, and it seems to be massaging Trump's ego. Why? Who knows, since...
