Iran War Endgame: Who Really Runs Tehran? As the Iran war escalates, the real question is no longer just what has been destroyed.

Ep 755State of the Union Recap: Democrats Big Mistake
Ep 754Prince Hall: The Black Patriot Who Made America Live Its Ideals
Prince Hall believed in the American Revolution so deeply that he refused to let it fail. While Boston echoed with talk of liberty, he forced the new nation to confront its contradiction: slavery. This episode tells the story of Prince Hall, the Black patriot who used lawful civic action, Enlightenment philosophy, and institutional leadership to help end slavery in Massachusetts in 1783, years before the U.S. Constitution was ratified. His strategy was not chaos or rejection of the system. It was engagement, petition, and moral accountability. At a time when many would have turned away from the American experiment, Prince Hall invested in it and demanded it live up to its founding ideals. What You'll Learn How Prince Hall used the language of natural rights to challenge slavery in Massachusetts Why Black participation in the American Revolution created political leverage The role of the 1777 petition and the Massachusetts Constitution in ending slavery in 1783 How John Adams' "all men are born free and equal" became legally enforceable Why civic virtue, lawful engagement, and institutional pressure define true self-government Prince Hall did not burn down the American system. He held it accountable. His life demonstrates how self-government works when citizens understand both their rights and their responsibilities.

Ep 749Marco Rubio's Munich Speech: America First and the End of Globalism
Marco Rubio's Munich Speech asks a question most leaders avoid: is the globalist era over? Professor Nick Giordano explains why this address signals the birth of a New Western Doctrine. The Rubio Doctrine on America First, sovereignty, and Western civilization marks a historic pivot from the "end of history" delusion to a new era of Civilizational Realism.

Ep 744Fisher Ames Warned Democracy Destroys Itself
Fisher Ames didn't just worry about democracy, he despised it. In this episode of America's Founding Series, the life and ideas of Fisher Ames reveal why the Founders feared mob rule, moral absolutism, and political urgency driven by emotion rather than reason.

Ep 739When Protest Stops Being Protest: Inside NSPM-7
The people who built the domestic terror apparatus are suddenly terrified it's being used. Professor Nick Giordano exposes the receipts they don't want you to see. When protest stops being protest and turns into intimidation, coercion, and violence, the government's response exposes a dangerous line between law enforcement and ideological control. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines NSPM-7 and the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism through a critical lens, separating lawful dissent and peaceful protest from the extremism now playing out in cities like Minneapolis. It explains how bureaucratic power expanded under the banner of public safety, why political elites are suddenly alarmed, and how pre-crime logic threatens constitutional liberties regardless of who holds office. What You'll Learn The clear legal and moral difference between peaceful protest and political extremism How NSPM-7 redefined dissent, association, and ideology as threat indicators Why intimidation, harassment, and obstruction cross the line from protest into extremism How Operation Arctic Frost and Prohibited Access files reveal institutional concealment and abuse Why dismantling domestic terrorism frameworks matters more than partisan outcomes This episode confronts selective outrage, exposes constitutional rot, and explains why a free society must protect lawful protest while rejecting extremism enforced through mobs or bureaucratic power. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

Ep 738Thomas Paine and The Common Sense That Ignited the American Revolution
In January 1776, a short, unsigned pamphlet ignited a revolution by teaching ordinary people to question power itself. This episode of the America's Founding Series tells the gripping story of Thomas Paine and the explosive impact of Common Sense, the most influential piece of political writing in American history. The episode explores how Paine reframed authority, popular sovereignty, and liberty, and why his rejection of both unchecked government power and mob rule still matters in a time of expanding bureaucracy and political extremism. What You'll Learn Why Common Sense was considered treasonous and revolutionary in 1776 How Thomas Paine made independence thinkable before it was inevitable What Paine meant by calling government a necessary evil Why Paine rejected mob rule as a threat to natural rights and republican government How Paine's ideas explain the tension between government power and citizen liberty today As America marks the 250th anniversary of Common Sense, this episode asks whether the nation still trusts the judgment of reasonable citizens or prefers obedience enforced from above or below. The American Revolution did not begin with a musket. It began with an idea that refused to die. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.
