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.

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.

From the 2008 bailouts to the Biden administration's aggressive expansion of Operation Chokepoint, Professor Giordano breaks down how banks, regulators, and politicians have quietly turned your access to money into a political tool.

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.

While others raced toward independence, Dickinson stood firm in his belief that liberty must be secured through law, not rushed into through war.

This episode explores the Committee of Five, the surprising influence of Italian patriot Filippo Mazzei, and how the Declaration laid the philosophical foundation for American liberty, natural rights, and self-government. Far more than a historical document, the Declaration is a moral proclamation that still defines the American Creed. A civic identity rooted in unalienable rights, the consent of the governed, and the duty to resist tyranny. Professor Giordano also highlights the founders' sacrifice and the extraordinary risk they took when they signed what amounted to their own death warrant. If you've ever wondered what it really means to be American, or why these words still matter, this is the episode you can't afford to miss. Episode Highlights: Why the Declaration of Independence was "forged with thought but won by blood," and what it reveals about the American identity The real meaning behind "We hold these truths to be self-evident…" and how these truths remain our moral foundation How the final line of the Declaration, "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor," marked a point of no return for the Founders 📲 Subscribe to The P.A.S.
