Ep 637The Big, Beautiful Bill: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that just passed the House and now goes to the Senate through budget reconciliation. While the bill offers some middle-class tax relief, work requirements, and border enforcement, it fails on fiscal responsibility, limited government, and bureaucratic overreach. Professor Giordano exposes how the bill expands federal power, increases spending, and continues rewarding the same agencies that have abused their authority. He makes it clear that real reform is essential and getting back to the principles of fiscal responsibility and limited government is the real way to usher in the next golden age of America. Episode Highlights: Why Congress hasn't passed a real budget since 1997 and how reconciliation is being abused The good: No tax on tips or overtime, Trump tax cuts extended, border wall funded, work requirements imposed for some entitlement programs like Medicaid and SNAP The bad and ugly: Debt ceiling hike with no reform, departments and agencies continue to see funding increases, and continued bureaucratic bloat 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

Ep 633Luis de Unzaga: How a Spanish Governor Helped Create the United States
In this week's America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano explores story of Luis de Unzaga, the Spanish Governor of Louisiana who played a quiet yet powerful role in America's fight for independence and may have been the first to coin the name "United States of America." His use of this term, as opposed to the 13 colonies, signified a bold assertion of unity, sovereignty, and nationhood. It was a declaration that these were no longer fragmented colonies under British rule, but a single, self-governing nation determined to shape its own destiny. While not American, Unzaga acted as a crucial patriot to the cause, helping legitimize the birth of a nation on the world stage. Discover how this overlooked Spanish governor helped shape America's name and destiny. Episode Highlights: Luis de Unzaga's vital covert support for the Patriot cause, including early arms shipments and financial aid. Compelling evidence suggests Unzaga was one of the first officials to use the term "Estados Unidos Americanos" (United States of America), potentially influencing its adoption by George Washington and the Founding Fathers.

Ep 631Who's to Blame for America's Collapsing Infrastructure and Broken Trade Policy?
In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the bipartisan failures that have left America weakened through failed trade agreements and an infrastructure in shambles despite trillions spent. From FAA radar blackouts and floppy disk-era technology to lopsided trade deals and slush funds, it's clear the political class is more interested in serving special interests than fixing what's broken. As politicians transferred billions of dollars overseas to build 21st-century airports, roads, and walls to protect foreign nations, our own skies remain unsafe and they have allowed our border to remain wide open. This episode breaks it all down with sharp analysis, real numbers, and unapologetic truth. Episode Highlights: Trump – Starmer trade agreement signals a shift toward rebalancing decades of failed global economic policies. The shocking state of FAA infrastructure: radar outages, copper wires, and eBay-sourced parts. Remember, former President Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill?

From Salomon's imprisonment by the British to the desperate scramble for $20,000 that saved the Yorktown campaign, this episode reveals how their financial sacrifices helped secure American independence. Without Morris and Salomon, the Revolution may have collapsed before victory was ever possible. Professor Giordano reveals how these forgotten patriots risked everything for liberty and why their names deserve a place alongside America's most celebrated founders.

Ep 613Exposed: The Multi-Billion Nonprofit Grift You're Paying For
In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano explores the dark underbelly of the nonprofit world – a multi-billion-dollar taxpayer-funded racket where political elites funnel public money to so-called nonprofits that push a political agenda and are packed with cronies, former officials, and even their own family members.

Professor Giordano breaks down how massive grants, like the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, are quietly handed to nonprofits enriching the politically connected and do little to serve the public good. Instead, they operate as ideological slush funds by distributing billions of tax dollars with little oversight, reward insiders, and advance partisan agendas, at the taxpayer's expense. This is the episode the government doesn't want you to hear. Episode Highlights: • Discover how nonprofits have evolved from serving the needy to becoming vehicles for political influence, activism, and partisan agendas. • Learn how billions in taxpayer dollars are being funneled to nonprofits with direct ties to political insiders, former officials, and family members of elected leaders. • Expose how your tax dollars are being weaponized as ideological slush funds to reward allies and advance left-wing priorities, with little oversight or accountability. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.

Ep 610Judges Gone Rogue: How Judicial Activism Undermines the Constitution
The judiciary was meant to interpret laws, not rewrite them and not enforce them. Yet activist judges are going beyond their constitutional role by undermining both the executive branch and Congress's legislative authority. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how left-wing judges are making unconstitutional rulings that defy executive authority, particularly in cases involving President Trump's efforts to remove federal employees and enforce immigration laws. These judges, many with histories of Democrat donations and political activism, are not ruling based on the Constitution but rather their personal ideologies. As Trump calls for their impeachment, we examine why this is not the right solution and why Congress must find a way to hold these judges accountable. Judicial activism erodes the foundations of our republic, and if left unchecked, it will only get worse. Tune in as Professor Giordano breaks down the most egregious cases, the dangers of a politicized judiciary, and why judicial restraint is essential to maintain a constitutional balance of power. Episode Highlights: • Judicial Overreach Exposed – How activist judges are blocking Trump's executive actions and undermining the rule of law. • The Dangers of Politicized Courts – Why a judiciary driven by ideology threatens the separation of powers. • Fixing the Problem – Why impeachment isn't the answer, but censure and reforms are necessary to restore judicial integrity. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.
