Episode Description

John Brennan Exposed: CIA power, profit, and terror failures take center stage in this explosive interview with Ian Trottier. Did America’s intelligence bureaucracy protect national security, or did powerful officials manipulate the system while taxpayers paid the price?

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano speaks with Ian Trottier, author of High Stakes Treason: How John Brennan Compromised American Security for Millions. Trottier lays out his independent open-source research involving SEC filings, official ethics waivers, White House visitor logs, and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). This conversation explores the post-9/11 intelligence apparatus, unelected intelligence bureaucrats, the deep state, and how companies like The Analysis Corporation intersect with government contracting oversight.

The Financial Paper Trail: How Ian Trottier connects John Brennan, CIA power, and alleged stock fraud and financial conflicts of interest.
The Documentation: Why SEC filings, handwritten ethics disclosures, and White House visitor logs are central to this case.
NCTC System Manipulation: How the National Counterterrorism Center changed intelligence-sharing and centralized counterterrorism protocols after 9/11.
Terror Failures: Why Trottier argues intelligence compartmentalization contributed to major terror attacks, including the Boston Marathon bombing.
Institutional Accountability: What this case reveals about unelected intelligence bureaucrats, missing congressional oversight, and the modern national security state.

This episode challenges listeners to examine the official documents, question the corporate media narrative, and demand structural accountability from those who wield unchecked intelligence power in America.

Episode Description

Europe’s Migration Crisis has reached a breaking point, and the Belfast riots exposed a reality that political leaders can no longer ignore. As governments blame social media, misinformation, and public frustration, millions of citizens across Europe are asking a different question: What happens when governments stop listening to their own people?

The attempted decapitation attack in Belfast serves as the catalyst for a much larger conversation about mass migration, immigration policy, assimilation, national identity, censorship, and the growing divide between European governments and the people they govern. This episode examines why trust in institutions continues to collapse, why anti-establishment parties continue to surge, and why many citizens believe political leaders spent years ignoring obvious warning signs while dismissing legitimate concerns as racism, extremism, or misinformation.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

Why the Belfast riots represent a broader European backlash against mass migration policies
How assimilation failures and parallel societies fuel growing social and political tensions
Why many Europeans believe governments police speech more aggressively than they protect public safety
How political elites use misinformation narratives, censorship, and social pressure to control public debate
Why the crisis unfolding across Europe serves as a warning for the United States and other Western nations

From the Henry Nowak case to the response of Northern Ireland’s political leadership, this episode connects the dots between immigration policy, cultural cohesion, government legitimacy, and the dangerous consequences that emerge when leaders stop listening to the people they represent.

Topics covered: Europe’s Migration Crisis, Belfast Riots, Michelle O’Neill, Henry Nowak, Northern Ireland, Mass Migration, Immigration Policy, Assimilation Failures, No-Go Zones, Parallel Societies, Free Speech Censorship, Social Media, Administrative State, Government Legitimacy, Western Civilization.

California Primary Chaos and Why Blue State Voters Keep Rewarding Failure

June 8, 2026 by Nicholas Giordano

↓ The P.A.S. Report Podcast is on every podcast platform! ↓

Episode Description

California Primary Chaos exposes a deeper problem: blue state voters keep rewarding failure. The political class hides behind “experience,” but what has that experience actually produced?

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the chaos surrounding the California primary and uses it to expose a larger crisis of governance across America’s blue states and urban centers. From Los Angeles and the Mayor Karen Bass vs. Spencer Pratt primary fallout to the decline of quality of life in New York, Chicago, Boston, New Jersey, and Virginia, failed leaders keep getting rewarded while ordinary taxpayers foot the bill.

Professor Giordano exposes the political experience scam, the broken ballot-counting timelines destroying public confidence, the Senate defeat of the SAVE America Act, and the political Stockholm Syndrome that keeps voters tied to the same failed leadership.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

California Primary Chaos: Why drawn-out ballot counting raises serious questions about election competence, voter trust, and institutional stability.
The Experience Scam: How career politicians use tenure as a shield to avoid accountability for failure.
Blue State Voter Failure: Why deep-blue cities keep reelecting leaders who make communities less safe and life more expensive.
Coast-to-Coast Decay: How New York, Chicago, Boston, New Jersey, and Virginia reveal the same pattern of ideological governance.
Nonvoter Malpractice: Why Republicans and independents who sit out local and school board elections share responsibility for the mess they complain about.

The political class is managing decline and calling it progress. This episode delivers a blunt wake-up call: bad government survives because voters tolerate it. Experience in a failing system is not a qualification. It is evidence of decay.

Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano marks the 250-year anniversary of the Lee Resolution, introduced on June 7, 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House.

The SPLC Smear Machine: How a national ideological organization can turn local parental dissent into an “extremism” narrative.

Domestic Terror Strategy: Trump’s Fix Isn’t Enough

June 1, 2026 by Nicholas Giordano

↓ The P.A.S. Report Podcast is on every podcast platform! ↓

Episode Description

The National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism has been rewritten and the domestic terror strategy has changed, but has the real problem actually been solved? Nearly five years after the Biden administration transformed domestic surveillance, the Trump administration narrowed the counterterrorism focus back toward violence and criminal conduct.

This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines the Trump administration’s revisions to the domestic terror framework, the constitutional dangers of the previous guidelines, and why the permanent bureaucracy remains one of the greatest threats to American liberty. While the revised strategy strips away vague ideological metrics like “anti-government” and “anti-authority” sentiment, the administrative machinery that enabled recent government abuses remains fully intact. From intelligence-sharing fusion centers to public-private censorship pipelines and sweeping surveillance authorities, the underlying weaponization infrastructure is merely waiting for the next administration.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

The Original Sin: How the 2021 Domestic Terror Strategy shifted the threshold away from criminal conduct and toward ideological “sentiment.”
The Overhaul: Why the Trump administration’s policy pivot represents a necessary constitutional correction.
The NSPM-7 Paradox: What National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 does, and how it could be turned against citizens again.
The Surveillance Pattern: How the Patriot Act, Total Information Awareness, and PRISM reveal 25 years of expanding bureaucratic power.
The Congressional Failure: Why Congress keeps passing clean FISA reauthorizations while abdicating real oversight.

Five years later, the debate is no longer about one president or one party. It is about whether a constitutional republic can survive a weaponized bureaucracy that treats political dissent, free speech, and ideological disagreement as predictive threat indicators.

Report Podcast, the America’s Founding Series tells the story of Christopher Gadsden, the South Carolina patriot behind the iconic Gadsden flag and the enduring phrase, Don’t Tread on Me. From the Stamp Act crisis to the fall of Charleston, from revolutionary defiance to imprisonment in St. Augustine, Gadsden’s story reveals why liberty requires vigilance, courage, and a people willing to say no when government power goes too far.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

The Danger of Incrementalism: Why the Stamp Act crisis was never just about a tax on paper, but about sovereignty, precedent, and arbitrary power.

The Test of Conviction: How the fall of Charleston and solitary confinement at Castillo de San Marcos tested Gadsden’s dedication to the cause.
The Modern Lesson: Why Gadsden’s warning still matters as government power and bureaucratic authority continue to expand.

Christopher Gadsden’s life was filled with contradictions, but his message remains clear: liberty dies when citizens stop guarding it. This episode connects the American Revolution, the Gadsden flag, limited government, and the founding generation’s fight against tyrannical overreach to the challenges facing Americans today as we celebrate America 250.

Episode Description

“Nazi” Smears & Campus Hypocrisy expose Higher Education Toxic Double Standard as universities preach civility while excusing ideological attacks. Universities love to talk about inclusion, safety, and respect, but what happens when a conservative professor is smeared in front of students and the university shrugs?

The conversation goes beyond one campus smear to examine academic freedom, DEI loopholes, faculty ideological capture, declining college standards, weak writing skills, AI plagiarism, and the death of the college credential. Giordano and Ellwanger expose how higher education’s toxic double standard protects leftist privilege while students, parents, taxpayers, and employers pay the price.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode

How “Nazi” smears and ideological labels are used to intimidate conservative professors and silence dissent.
Why campus hypocrisy exposes a toxic double standard in higher education, university speech codes, and professional standards.
How DEI loopholes and faculty hiring practices keep higher education ideologically captured.
Why the college credential is losing value as employers drop four-year degree requirements.
