Ep 679When 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.

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.
