America is facing a crisis far more dangerous than partisan politics: a collapse of competence across government, media, and political leadership. In this year-end monologue, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how institutional failure has become normalized, why government increasingly creates problems instead of solving them, and how media tribalism has replaced journalism. From unchecked fraud and broken oversight to elite institutions that cannot perform their basic functions, Professor Giordano explains why public trust is eroding and why even Republicans have failed to deliver meaningful reform. This episode is a sober assessment of where America stands heading into 2026 and what must change if the country is to remain serious, functional, and free.

Episode Highlights
• How government incentives now reward failure, protect incompetence, and punish accountability
• Why the media abandoned journalism for tribal loyalty and helped conceal institutional collapse
• A hard look at Republican leadership, internal fractures, and the failure to translate power into reform
