Episode Description

Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with Mary Theroux, editor of Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, to expose why billions in government spending have failed to reduce homelessness and how Housing First policies often make the crisis worse. This episode breaks down the astronomical waste, the abysmal return on investment, and the rise of the homelessness industrial complex that thrives as conditions deteriorate. Mary explains why many nonprofits become corrupt when tied to endless government funding, why people sometimes die at higher rates in permanent supportive housing, and why purpose and agency matter far more than free housing. The conversation highlights successful, proven alternatives like Haven for Hope, the dangers of open-air drug markets, the collapse of mental health systems, and the urgent need for community involvement and real accountability. This is a must-listen episode for anyone who wants real solutions to one of America’s most devastating problems.

Episode Description

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano takes aim at the absurdity of the so-called “No Kings” protest, where activists chant about tyranny while embracing a government that controls nearly every aspect of life. Professor Giordano then breaks down the government shutdown and exposes how Democrats’ refusal to support a clean funding resolution is driven by their obsession with power and the big government apparatus. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the far left are holding the country hostage to protect the failed Obamacare system and keep COVID-era subsidies that have fueled premium spikes, eliminated competition, and increased dependency. He explains how Obamacare is one of the most costly policy failures in American history, and how big government continues to punish working Americans while rewarding bureaucrats and special interests.

Episode Highlights:

The hypocrisy of the No Kings protests as activists rail against tyranny while demanding more government control over every part of American life.
Democrats are blocking a clean funding resolution to protect Obamacare subsidies and weaponize the shutdown for political leverage as the Schumer Shutdown continues.
The Obamacare Collapse, premiums are skyrocketing, illegal immigrants exploit loopholes, and the only thing keeping the system alive is endless taxpayer money.
