Conservative Politics & News: The P.A.S. Report

Congress is demanding answers, but intelligence agencies are digging in. Is the federal government hiding the biggest secret in modern history? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with bestselling author and attorney Kent Heckenlively to discuss his explosive new book, Catastrophic Disclosure: The Deep State, Aliens, and the Truth. The conversation pulls back the curtain on decades of government secrecy, exploring how credible military whistleblowers have forced the UFO debate into the halls of Congress. We break down the institutional stonewalling of elected officials, the "black budget" funding trails, and the high-stakes choice facing the government: Controlled Disclosure or Catastrophic Disclosure. What You'll Learn Why the UFO cover-up is a fundamental issue of constitutional oversight, not just a conspiracy theory. How testimony from fighter pilots and senior military officials reshaped the credibility of UFO claims Why Congress is being blocked from accessing key information and what it means for public trust. How repeated government investigations failed to provide clear answers Is the government preparing the public for the truth, or just trying to keep the lid on a boiling pot? This episode explores UFO secrecy through the lens of transparency, constitutional oversight, and public trust, and raises urgent questions about who really holds power inside the federal government. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

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.

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.

Organized protests are escalating into mob intimidation and violence as the rule of law continues to be undermined. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast breaks down the Minneapolis anti-ICE riots and how political decisions by state and city leaders have fueled disorder and emboldened activists. Professor Nick Giordano is joined by Brigitte Gabriel, founder of Act for America and author of Rise: In Defense of Judeo-Christian Values and Freedom, to explain why the right must rebuild grassroots power, confront rising anti-Western ideology inside the West, and prepare for the geopolitical shockwaves of a potential Iranian regime collapse. What You'll Learn Why anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis are turning violent and who benefits politically How attacks on ICE undermine national sovereignty and public safety Why political apathy is more dangerous than organized activism How local engagement and voter mobilization can shift political outcomes Why anti-Western ideology inside the West poses an existential civilizational threat What a free Iran could mean for the Middle East and global stability 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

Iran protests are shaking the foundations of a brutal regime, but the real question is why this moment matters for the United States. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Giordano breaks through media silence to explain the stakes, the risks, and the policy choices that could reshape the global balance of power. As unrest spreads across Iran, exaggerated claims of imminent collapse collide with a far harsher reality. This episode examines what is actually happening on the ground, why Americans have already paid a heavy price for the Islamic Republic, and how Iran fits into the broader anti-American axis involving Russia, China, and Venezuela. The focus is not on slogans or wishful thinking, but on clear-eyed strategy, historical patterns, and realistic policy options. What You'll Learn: Why Iran protests are not just a domestic issue but a direct U.S. national interest How the Iranian regime has killed Americans through proxy warfare and why that history matters now What weakens authoritarian regimes and why elite defections matter more than street protests How Iran connects Russia, China, and a shifting Middle East into an anti-American axis Why the real policy choice is not war or indifference, and what a third path could look like 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

Hercules Mulligan was not a general or a politician. He was a tailor who quietly helped save the American Revolution while silence would have kept him safe. This episode tells the gripping, high-stakes story of Mulligan and his enslaved courier Cato and why their choices still matter today. In this installment of America's Founding Series, we go inside British-occupied New York where loose talk, ego, and courage collided. You will hear how intelligence was gathered, moved, and acted on, the moral complexity behind the heroes we remember, and why speaking the truth often carries a personal cost. This is not a lecture. It's a story about courage under pressure, imperfect heroes, and the price of telling the truth when it would be easier to stay quiet. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Hercules Mulligan used proximity, psychology, and British arrogance to sabotage enemy plans Why Cato's role as a courier involved far greater personal risk than history often acknowledges The irony of British officers wearing uniforms made by the man undermining their missions Why silence is often safer, and why courage means acting anyway What this forgotten story teaches about whistleblowers, dissent, and moral risk today 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

For Christ and Country: The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk is not just a book title. It is a warning about what happens when political hatred becomes normalized and violence is excused. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano is joined by author Drew Thomas Allen to examine how escalating rhetoric, institutional rot, and ideological extremism are driving America toward moral collapse. Allen explains why the assassination of Charlie Kirk was not an isolated tragedy, but the predictable result of years of dehumanization fueled by media, academia, and political leaders. The conversation connects current events, including attacks on public officials, demonization of law enforcement, and the casual use of "Nazi" and "fascist" labels, to a deeper spiritual crisis facing the nation. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How political language precedes violence and why escalation is accelerating Why the Left remains ideologically unified while the Right fractures internally The role media, academia, and activism play in America's moral decay How law enforcement became a political target and why that matters Why saving the country requires spiritual renewal, not political theatrics 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

The Minneapolis ICE shooting involving Renee Good was not an isolated tragedy. It was the predictable result of organized obstruction, reckless political rhetoric, and a growing belief that laws only apply when people agree with them. This incident fits into a broader pattern of organized resistance and obstruction. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano examines what actually happened in Minneapolis, exposes the coordinated activist networks interfering with federal immigration enforcement, and explains how elected officials escalated a volatile situation instead of calming it down. This episode is not about immigration policy. It is about whether law still matters in the United States. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why Renee Good was a victim of a toxic ideology that exploited confrontation and treated the consequences as acceptable collateral How organized "ICE watch" groups reveal hierarchy, funding, training, and command-and-control structures How inflammatory rhetoric from Democratic officials legitimizes mob behavior and accelerates escalation Why comparisons to the Civil Rights Movement are historically false and intellectually dishonest What happens to a republic when enforcement becomes optional and emotion replaces the rule of law 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

On June 3, 1781, a lightning-fast British cavalry raid led by "Bloody Ban" Tarleton raced toward Charlottesville and Monticello with one mission: capture Virginia's lawmakers and Thomas Jefferson. In this America's Founding Series episode, Professor Nick Giordano tells the cinematic, largely forgotten story of Jack Jouett, the "Paul Revere of the South," whose all-night ride through the Virginia backcountry helped save the Revolutionary government from decapitation. You'll hear how Tarleton's raid unfolded, why Jefferson's escape was so close, and the timeless lesson Jouett leaves us about government vs governance and why republics survive only when citizens take responsibility before the system even wakes up. Episode Highlights: • Jack Jouett's midnight ride: the backcountry dash that beat Tarleton's dragoons to Monticello and Charlottesville • Tarleton's raid on Jefferson: what happened at Monticello and why Virginia's leaders fled to safety • The modern takeaway: why Jouett was forgotten, and how his story proves governance is a citizen's duty, not a bureaucrat's promise 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

A viral investigation out of Minnesota has reopened a question every American should be asking: if taxpayer-funded programs can be exploited on this scale in one metro area, how much fraud, waste, and abuse is happening in cities and suburbs across the country? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down what YouTuber Nick Shirley exposed, why the legacy media missed it, and how the federal-to-state funding pipeline creates the perfect environment for corruption, negligence, and taxpayer theft. Who was supposed to be watching, what warnings were ignored, and what reforms can actually stop the theft of our hard earned tax dollars? Plus, this ties directly into the New Contract With America series now posted on the website. Episode Highlights Nick Shirley vs. legacy media: how a camera and a car did what billion-dollar newsrooms would not The federal money pipeline: why Washington-to-state funding makes fraud easier to hide and harder to stop Oversight or theater: the accountability questions that must be answered and what reforms would shut the door on fraud and taxpayer theft 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the stunning takedown and arrest of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro and why it may signal a major shift in U.S. power in the Western Hemisphere. Was this a smarter model than the failed regime-change disasters of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, or the beginning of a dangerous new era of presidential authority? Professor Giordano examines what happens next as President Trump says the U.S. will run Venezuela until a safe, competent transition is possible, the strategic stakes tied to oil and hemispheric control, and the constitutional and international-law arguments now colliding in real time. He also exposes the domestic political hysteria as Venezuelans celebrate while America's activist left rushes to defend Maduro, revealing how Trump Derangement Syndrome continues to warp reality. Episode Highlights Maduro captured, Venezuela in play: why this operation was different, what comes next, and the risk of repeating past postwar transition failures Monroe Doctrine 2.0: how oil, energy leverage, and strategic denial of Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, and proxy networks reshape geopolitics in the Americas Legality and backlash: Article II authority, Congress's war-powers abdication, "international law" myths, and the left's bizarre defense of Maduro driven by anti-Trump obsession 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

On Christmas night in 1776, the American Revolution stood on the brink of collapse. With the Continental Army demoralized, enlistments expiring, and defeat seeming inevitable, George Washington made a desperate, audacious decision that would change the course of history. In this special Christmas Eve episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano tells the gripping, true story of Washington's crossing of the Delaware River, the password "Victory or Death," and the impossible gamble that saved the Revolution. This is not a textbook lesson, but a powerful reminder of courage, fortitude, and will, and why even in our darkest moments, history, nations, and lives can still be turned around. Episode Highlights: • The story behind Washington's crossing of the Delaware on Christmas night, including the freezing conditions, collapsing army, and the gamble that kept independence alive • How the Battle of Trenton restored morale, held the Continental Army together, and prevented the American Revolution from ending before the new year • Why the lesson of 1776 matters today for Americans who feel abandoned, discouraged, or believe the country, or their own future, is beyond saving 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

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.

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano tells the forgotten but urgent story of St. George Tucker, the revolutionary patriot, wounded war veteran, and constitutional scholar who warned that the Constitution would fail if Americans stopped defending its limits. From smuggling gunpowder for the Continental Army to writing the first major American commentary on the Constitution, Tucker understood that liberty is never self-enforcing. Long before the rise of the modern administrative state, he warned that power naturally consolidates, courts cannot be the sole guardians of freedom, and constitutional ignorance would be fatal to the Republic. This episode explores Tucker's life, his warnings, and why his lesson matters now more than ever. Episode Highlights: • The remarkable life of St. George Tucker, from Revolutionary War service and battlefield wounds to becoming America's first great constitutional commentator • Why Tucker believed citizens and states, not courts or bureaucracies, are the ultimate guardians of liberty • How Tucker's warnings about consolidation of power and constitutional ignorance explain today's government overreach 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

In the final installment of A New Contract With America, Professor Nick Giordano lays out the last two pillars needed to restore America's strength, prosperity, and legitimacy. Part Three focuses on achieving true energy independence, unlocking America's rare earth mineral wealth to fuel economic revival, and restoring trust in elections through commonsense reforms that ensure transparency, accountability, and confidence in the system. These are not theoretical ideas or costly government programs.

His warnings about foreign economic dependence and the loss of individual self-reliance speak directly to the challenges America faces today. This compelling narrative brings Coxe's influence to life and shows why his ideas are essential for understanding the past and protecting our future.

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.
