    Candace from Butte, Montana writes, Victor Orban’s party was elected out in what is being described as a landslide in Hungary. I think this is interesting for us here in the US since Trump has used the Orban playbook to move us toward a more authoritarian government. Trump even sent JD Vance over to stump for Orban. But for all Orban’s and Trump’s maneuvering, taking over the press with lackies, oppressive voting rules, etc., the people of Hungary had had enough and made the change, booting Putin’s lackey. So, I would ask Do you think Hungary will now return to normalcy with the rest of the EU? Although it seems the new leader is far from liberal, do you think he will be able to dismantle all or some of the authoritarian policies Orban put in place? If Hungary does move away from Russia, will this have any impact on Hungarian/US relations?

  • Iran Oil, War, and Credibility S5E42 04.10.2026
    2026/04/10

    Today, we begin a conversation attempting to make sense of recent events for many of our listeners.

    Today, we’re stepping into a week so packed with developments that it feels like the news cycle is running on fast‑forward.

    The messages pouring into our inbox made one thing clear: people are trying to make sense of a lot at once. There’s the uproar surrounding President Trump’s recent tweet directed at Iran, the unexpected shift during yesterday’s widely discussed “TACO Tuesday” moment, and the renewed attention on that ten‑point peace plan floated weeks ago that never really left the public conversation.

    And with all of that comes a flood of questions. What, if anything, has actually been accomplished on the diplomatic front? Will the Strait of Hormuz reopen? How does all of this intersect with ongoing concerns about Iran’s nuclear program? And if, as some officials have claimed, Iran’s military capabilities have been severely reduced, why does the conflict appear far from over?

    Even among people who have historically supported President Trump, there’s been a noticeable rise in commentary questioning his recent decision‑making, with some voices publicly invoking the 25th Amendment.

    Analysts are debating whether this moment represents a broader shift in the American political mindset or simply a spike in tensions during an already volatile period.

    So let’s break it all down: what happened, why it matters, and how people across the country are reacting to it.

  • Iran, Oil, Birthright Citizenship and the mess we are in S5E39 04.03.2026
    2026/04/03

    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 2 questions that we will be splitting up into 2 episodes.

    Tonya from Statesville, North Carolina writes: OK, it seems American and world politics get crazier and crazier by the day. Snowflake Hegseth is threatening to arrest Colin Jost for picking on him on SNL. As gas prices go up, Trump's approval rating continues to nose-dive. Finally, SCOTUS is hearing arguments over an Executive Order that ends Birthright Citizenship. And this is the short list. I know this is a lot to unpack, but I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts.

    Stephen from Milwaukee, Wisconsin writes, The UK is offering to host negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump says the US is considering leaving NATO. Trump also says the Iranians are requesting a ceasefire. No surprise, but the Iranians are pretty much denying this. Then, Trump says that the US will leave Iran in 2 to 3 weeks, even if there is no deal. Do you think the US might abandon the war in Iran within this time frame? If this were to happen, how do you think this might all play out? What might this mean for Israel? Is Trump dumping his war onto our allies to clean up? Can this disaster be cleaned up?
