Hegseth on the Hill S5E52 05.04.2026

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 George from Tallahassee,  FL writes: Recently Pete Hegseth was questioned by congress, and it was explosive. Some members questioned the war in Iran. Calling it a “Quagmire”. In usual Trump administration fashion, Hegseth shot back calling the members unpatriotic and treasonous and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. I’ve been seeing this sentiment in many social media feeds recently. So, my question is, did Hegseth have a point? Is not fully supporting the war unpatriotic?  Could it be classified as treasonous?  I know the panel has said that “during times of war, the truth is one of the first casualties.” I also know we probably are in the dark about a lot of things in this conflict. But one thing seems clear, Trump and Hegseth are seemingly moving toward “redefining” victory in the conflict. Do you think in the end this strategy will be successful? What might this “redefinition” look like? LOTL: Queer ConversationWe all crave Queer Conversations.
