Episode Description

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, to explore the growing disconnect between the American people and their government. He explains why Americans no longer trust government and how to fix it. As public trust continues to erode, Meckler breaks down how entrenched bureaucracy, unpunished corruption, and an unaccountable political class have warped the system beyond recognition. They also discuss the potential of third-party movements like Elon Musk’s and why the Convention of States may be the only real solution to restore constitutional principles, enforce term limits, and rein in runaway spending.

Episode Highlights:

  • The Convention of States offers a constitutional path to implement term limits, enforce fiscal restraints, and shrink the federal bureaucracy.
  • Elon Musk’s rumored third-party movement could fracture the GOP and reshape political coalitions.
  • America’s unelected bureaucratic class now functions as an unaccountable fourth branch of government.

Episode Description

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the escalating war on ICE and the coordinated left-wing effort to obstruct immigration enforcement. As ICE agents face violence, harassment, and even attempted murder, Democrats and media elites continue to fuel the fire by comparing law enforcement officers to Nazis and labeling detention centers as “concentration camps.” Nick dismantles the false narratives, reveals how child labor scandals tied to Democrat donors are being whitewashed, and shows how the same people who weaponized the federal government against parents and Catholics are now accusing Trump of authoritarianism for simply enforcing the law.

Episode Highlights:

  • Radical activists stalk, harass, and attempt to murder ICE agents while Democrats cheer from the sidelines
  • Child migrant labor exposed on a California pot farm, but media calls it a “farm raid”
  • The same party that weaponized government against parents now cries “fascism” when Trump enforces immigration law

Episode Description

In this special July 4th edition of The P.A.S. Report’s America’s Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the Declaration of Independence like never before, line by line, to reveal the enduring truths that gave birth to a nation. This episode explores the Committee of Five, the surprising influence of Italian patriot Filippo Mazzei, and how the Declaration laid the philosophical foundation for American liberty, natural rights, and self-government.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to be American or why these words still matter this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why the Declaration of Independence was “forged with thought but won by blood,” and what it reveals about the American identity
  • The real meaning behind “We hold these truths to be self-evident…” and how these truths remain our moral foundation
  • How the final line of the Declaration, “our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor,” marked a point of no return for the Founders
