When Bureaucrats Become Activists: The Ideological Capture of America
In this Labor Day episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how America’s federal bureaucracy has been hijacked by ideology and activism. From DOJ employees throwing food at National Guard troops to a CDC official resigning over politics disguised as science, Professor Giordano reveals how unelected bureaucrats increasingly see themselves as policymakers rather than civil servants. Backed by studies showing overwhelming partisan bias and donation data proving federal employees lean almost entirely in one direction, he connects the bureaucratic takeover to the same ideological capture we have witnessed in America’s schools. The result is a dangerous cycle of government weaponization and cultural indoctrination that undermines trust, accountability, and the very foundation of our Republic. Episode Highlights DOJ and CDC employees choose ideology over duty, exposing a weaponized government. Studies reveal a partisan imbalance among federal bureaucrats, 95% liberal views, 84% of donations to Democrats.

The Russia Hoax: What Tulsi Gabbard Just Exposed About the Deep State
Newly declassified documents released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard expose the truth behind the Russia hoax, confirming that the Intelligence Community knew before the 2016 election that Russia posed no credible threat to the outcome, yet a post-election political operation, driven by the Obama White House and weaponized by senior officials, flipped the narrative to undermine President Trump. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the documents, details how the Deep State deceived the public, and calls for Congress to implement permanent legislative reforms to defang the bureaucracy and restore constitutional order. Episode Highlights: The Intelligence Community’s original 2016 assessment debunked claims of Russian vote tampering, before the narrative was flipped. How the Obama administration suppressed dissent, buried intelligence, and inserted the discredited Steele Dossier to delegitimize Trump.

He helped ignite the flames of resistance with his Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, yet refused to sign the Declaration of Independence, only to later pick up a musket and fight for the very cause he once questioned. Discover how Dickinson’s moral conviction, intellectual rigor, and post-war contributions helped shape America’s founding in ways few recognize today.

Why Americans No Longer Trust Government and How to Fix It
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.

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.
