...31 min - The 900,000 jobs revision S4E182 09.16.2025
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 comes from Kevin, who lives in Miami, FL. Kevin asks, So, the Department of Labor Statistics has revised past statistical job data." Last year, the revision was over 900,00,0, down from previous estimates. So, maybe Trump inherited a worse economy than many (Even you guys) thought. This clearly demonstrates that the claims about the numbers being regularly fudged are correct, and I believe it justifies Trump's decision to fire the head of that department and appoint someone more honest and competent. Are you all ready to admit that the Biden economy sucked?

...26 min - Hyundai Illegals S4E181 09.15.2025
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 Mike, who lives in Atlanta, GA. Mike asks, Last week, ICE raided a Hyundai plant here in Georgia and detained over 400 people for allegedly living and working in the US illegally. Most of those detained were South Koreans, working at a South Korean manufacturing plant. It’s being reported that the majority of these workers will be repatriated, but the work building the plant has come to a halt. First, could this sour relations between the US and our close ally, South Korea? And could other foreign investors be thinking twice about building manufacturing plants in the US? This plant would have created a lot of high-paying jobs for Georgians; could this loss be used by Democrats to win back Georgia?

...18 min - Russian Drones over Poland S4E180 09.12.2025
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 Nora, who lives in Anchorage, AK, and Nora asks It’s being reported that Russian drones violated the airspace of Poland on their way to Ukraine. It’s even being reported that Poland scrambled their air defenses and shot down a few of these drones. Could this be the pretense of NATO getting directly involved with the Russian/Ukrainian conflict? Would the US honor Article 5 of the NATO charter if the rest of NATO got involved?

...20 min - Qatar airstrike, an end to potential peace? S4E179 09.11.20254
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 Peter, who lives in Norman, OK, and Peter asks Well, that didn’t take long. Israel conducted an air strike on the capital of Qatar to eliminate the Hamas leadership, and the world is losing its mind. Even Trumpy Trump is complaining. Reports are that the air strike failed to accomplish its goal. So my question is, since Qatar is a major player in the peace negotiations, how do you see this impacting any further advances toward a peaceful resolution? Did Israel make a major mistake undertaking this mission?
