Progressive elites have captured nearly every major American institution, replacing faith and tradition with secular humanism and a new “woke” religion that seeks to erase God and silence dissent. In this powerful conversation, Professor Nicholas Giordano speaks with Harvard Professor Emeritus Dr. Richard Kradin about his new book, A Godless Crusade: The Progressive Campaign to Rid the World of Religion. Together, they uncover how cultural Marxism evolved into today’s woke crusade, why the Judeo-Christian ethic is under relentless attack, and what it means for America’s future if faith and morality are driven from the public square.

Episode Highlights

• How secular humanism became the foundation of today’s culture wars.
• Why “wokism” operates as a secular religion determined to replace God.
• What Americans can do to defend their faith, values, and traditions.

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. Backed by studies showing overwhelming partisan bias and donation data proving federal employees lean almost entirely in one direction, he connects the bureaucratic takeover to the same ideological capture we have witnessed in America’s schools. 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.
• The parallel between bureaucratic activism and the ideological takeover of America’s schools and universities.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Giordano exposes how the loudest defenders of “democracy” are the same voices working to dismantle the very institutions that protect our Republic. From the Senate to the Supreme Court and the Electoral College, every safeguard designed by the Founding Fathers is under attack in the name of power. Nick explains why these institutions exist, the dangers of tearing them down, and how today’s calls to abolish or reinvent them threaten the future of the United States.

Episode Highlights

• Why the Founders intentionally created an undemocratic Senate to protect the rights of states and prevent mob rule
• How packing the Supreme Court for ideological gain would destroy its independence and moral authority
• The truth about the Electoral College, why it ensures balance among the states, and why DC statehood is nothing more than a political power grab

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Daniel J. Flynn, author of The Man Who Invented Conservatism, to explore the remarkable journey of Frank Meyer. Meyer is the communist-turned-conservative who shaped the intellectual foundation of the American Right. We discuss Meyer’s dramatic transformation, the birth of fusionism, and what his story reveals about the state of conservatism today. Is the movement still anchored in limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility, or has it lost its way?

Episode Highlights

• The extraordinary life of Frank Meyer: from Marxist revolutionary to the architect of modern conservatism.
• How Meyer’s philosophy of “fusionism” united libertarians and traditionalists and whether it still resonates in today’s fractured conservative movement.
• The current strength of conservatism: Do today’s leaders still stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, and individual liberty?
