  • In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed the House and now goes to the Senate through budget reconciliation. While the bill offers some middle-class tax relief, work requirements, and border enforcement, it fails on fiscal responsibility, limited government, and bureaucratic overreach. Professor Giordano exposes how the bill expands federal power, increases spending, and continues rewarding the same agencies that have abused their authority. He makes it clear that real reform is essential and getting back to the principles of fiscal responsibility and limited government is the real way to usher in the next golden age of America.

    Episode Highlights:

    Why Congress hasn't passed a real budget since 1997 and how reconciliation is being abused The good: No tax on tips or overtime, Trump tax cuts extended, border wall funded, work requirements imposed for some entitlement programs like Medicaid and SNAP The bad and ugly: Debt ceiling hike with no reform, departments and agencies continue to see funding increases, and continued bureaucratic bloat

  • Why the FBI Remains Broken Despite Trump, Patel & Bongino

    In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down President Trump’s visit to the Middle East and what it means for global power dynamics. From boxing in Iran and reversing Biden’s foreign policy failures to blunting China’s growing influence and reigniting the Abraham Accords, Trump is making it clear that America is back as the global leader on the world stage. Professor Giordano dives into the strategic, economic, and ideological implications of this trip, including the $1.4 trillion investment into U.S. companies and the lingering questions about Saudi Arabia’s role in 9/11. Is this the beginning of a lasting peace, or just another geopolitical gamble?

    Episode Highlights:

    How Trump’s Middle East visit isolates Iran as the Shia Crescent has been broken The $1.4 trillion investment in American companies and the rollback of Biden’s AI export ban Why radical Islam, 9/11 truths, and national security threats still shape U.S.-Middle East relations

  • In this week’s America’s Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano explores story of Luis de Unzaga, the Spanish Governor of Louisiana who played a quiet yet powerful role in America's fight for independence and may have been the first to coin the name “United States of America.” His use of this term, as opposed to the 13 colonies, signified a bold assertion of unity, sovereignty, and nationhood. It was a declaration that these were no longer fragmented colonies under British rule, but a single, self-governing nation determined to shape its own destiny. While not American, Unzaga acted as a crucial patriot to the cause, helping legitimize the birth of a nation on the world stage. Discover how this overlooked Spanish governor helped shape America's name and destiny.

    Episode Highlights:

    Luis de Unzaga’s vital covert support for the Patriot cause, including early arms shipments and financial aid. Compelling evidence suggests Unzaga was one of the first officials to use the term "Estados Unidos Americanos" (United States of America), potentially influencing its adoption by George Washington and the Founding Fathers. Why foreign allies like Unzaga mattered just as much as battlefield victories in securing American independence.

  • Why the FBI Remains Broken Despite Trump, Patel & Bongino

    Steve Friend returns to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism became the federal government’s playbook for targeting ordinary Americans. Nick Giordano and Friend break down the disturbing lack of reform inside the FBI, even with President Trump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino now in charge. Has the unelected bureaucracy grown more powerful than the presidency? They revisit the post-9/11 surveillance state, connect it to today’s abuses, and reveal how trading liberty for the illusion of safety has placed the Republic in danger.

    Episode Highlights:

    How the National Strategy weaponized the FBI against parents, Catholics, and political dissenters Why real FBI reform has stalled despite new leadership under Trump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino The connection between post-9/11 security expansions and today’s domestic surveillance state

  • In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the bipartisan failures that have left America weakened through failed trade agreements and an infrastructure in shambles despite trillions spent. From FAA radar blackouts and floppy disk-era technology to lopsided trade deals and slush funds, it’s clear the political class is more interested in serving special interests than fixing what’s broken. As politicians transferred billions of dollars overseas to build 21st-century airports, roads, and walls to protect foreign nations, our own skies remain unsafe and they have allowed our border to remain wide open. This episode breaks it all down with sharp analysis, real numbers, and unapologetic truth.

    Episode Highlights:

    Trump – Starmer trade agreement signals a shift toward rebalancing decades of failed global economic policies. The shocking state of FAA infrastructure: radar outages, copper wires, and eBay-sourced parts. Remember, former President Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill? Where the money really went, and why most of it had nothing to do with infrastructure.

  • In this episode of America’s Founding Series, Professor Nicholas Giordano tells the extraordinary but often overlooked story of Robert Morris & Haym Salomon: The Men Who Financed American Freedom.

Without Morris and Salomon, the Revolution may have collapsed before victory was ever possible. Professor Giordano reveals how these forgotten patriots risked everything for liberty and why their names deserve a place alongside America’s most celebrated founders.

    Episode Highlights:

    The dramatic moment when George Washington demanded, “Send for Haym Salomon,” to save the Yorktown campaign. How Robert Morris created a financial system from scratch to sustain the Revolution and died in debt for it. The little-known story of Salomon’s arrest, espionage, and tireless fundraising efforts under British surveillance.

  • In this episode of America’s Founding Series, Professor Giordano explores the life and legacy of James Wilson, one of the most influential yet overlooked Founding Fathers. As one of only six men to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, Wilson played a pivotal role in shaping the core structures of American government—including the Electoral College, the independent judiciary, and the concept of a single, energetic executive. Drawing from his Enlightenment roots and deep belief in popular sovereignty, Wilson’s vision helped define the Constitution as a government of the people. His warnings, insights, and contributions are just as relevant today as they were in 1787.

    Episode Highlights:

    How James Wilson’s ideas shaped the Electoral College, the presidency, and judicial independence Why Wilson opposed the Bill of Rights—and what it reveals about constitutional interpretation The forgotten story of a Founder who helped design America’s legal system, then died broke and in obscurity

  • ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard has just declassified the Biden administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and what it reveals should alarm every American. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the newly released SIP and exposes how the federal government built an infrastructure to monitor, censor, and investigate ordinary Americans under the guise of countering domestic extremism. From vague definitions like “anti-government sentiment” to partnerships with Big Tech and mental health professionals, the SIP confirms what he argued: this framework was designed to be weaponized against political dissent. Professor Giordano explains how this system threatens civil liberties, how it could easily be turned against the Left under a future administration, and why immediate reforms are needed to dismantle the administrative state.

    Episode Highlights:

    How the declassified SIP proves the government’s framework for targeting political opponents Why vague terms like “anti-authority sentiment” open the door to mass surveillance and censorship The danger of inverting this strategy under a future administration and why both parties should be alarmed
