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.
