P.A.S. Report | Political Analysis, American Politics & Constitution

Gas prices are up, household budgets are under pressure, and yet markets keep hitting record highs. Why are Wall Street and Main Street telling two completely different stories?

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with investment banker, economist, and author of 2008: What Really Happened, Todd Sheets to break down the disconnect between surging gas prices, record-high markets, the Iran conflict, and America's economic future. From the Strait of Hormuz to China's rare earth leverage, from AI-driven growth to the household squeeze, this conversation explains why the economy looks strong on paper while many Americans still feel like they're falling behind.

What You'll Learn

• The Market Disconnect: Why gas prices are rising while stocks and markets continue to climb
• The Iran Factor: How the conflict with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz impact oil prices, energy markets, and your wallet
• Checkmating China: Why U.S. energy dominance could weaken China's global economic leverage
• The Wealth Effect vs. Reality: Why strong macro numbers feel disconnected from Americans struggling with housing, insurance, food, and grocery costs
• A New Economic Boom: Why Todd Sheets believes America may be on the verge of a long-term growth cycle driven by AI, resource development, and better economic policy

White Supremacy and the Right-Wing Lie exposes one of the most successful psychological operations in modern American politics: the claim that racial extremism is an extension of Republicans and Conservatives.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano dismantles the media, academic, and bureaucratic myth that white supremacist organizations are "right-wing." By examining the actual ideology of these groups, from National Socialists and accelerationists to revolutionary anti-capitalists, Professor Giordano shows that the real divide in America is not Left vs. Right, but Constitutional Liberty vs. Collectivist Power.

What You'll Learn:

• Ideological Fraud: Why white supremacy rejects individual rights, equality under law, and the American founding in favor of racial collectivism.
• Naming the Groups: A deep dive into the beliefs of the National Socialist Movement, Atomwaffen Division, The Base, Patriot Front, and neo-Völkisch movements.
• The Soviet Playbook: How political labeling tactics and academic theories were used to pathologize patriotism, religion, and traditional values.
• The DEI Connection: Why racial equity frameworks and white supremacy share the same poisonous premise: that the individual is subordinate to the racial group.
• The Modern Machine: Why the SPLC, the media, and the bureaucracy need the "Right-Wing Extremism" narrative to justify expanding surveillance and silencing dissent.

The "right-wing" lie survives because it is a weapon. It allows powerful institutions to smear ordinary Americans and treat constitutional dissent as a domestic threat. It is time to stop playing defense. This episode challenges the labels, exposes the fraud, and proves that white supremacy isn't conservatism. It is a rejection of the American Creed.

Live Free or Die is more than a slogan. It is the battle-tested creed of General John Stark and the embodiment of the Spirit of 1776. In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the life of John Stark, a forgotten patriot who helped turn the tide of the American Revolution.

This week marks the 250th anniversary of Rhode Island's renunciation of allegiance to King George III, the first formal break from the Crown. But as Stark's life proves, declarations alone do not secure liberty. From the brutal New Hampshire frontier and the defenses at Bunker Hill to the decisive Battle of Bennington, Stark's story reveals why independence was never inevitable.

What You'll Learn:

• Beyond the Bumper Sticker: Why "Live Free or Die" is a warning about sacrifice, liberty, and government overreach.
• The Rhode Island Connection: How the May 1776 renunciation captured one of the boldest acts of colonial defiance.
• Frontier Leadership: How captivity and service with Rogers' Rangers forged a man who refused to be a victim.
• Bunker Hill and Bennington: How ordinary Americans stood against the British Empire and helped change the course of the Revolution.
• The Federalism Lesson: What Stark's resignation and return to command teach us about merit, local leadership, and putting country above personal grievance.

John Stark was stubborn, flawed, and defiant. He was passed over by the bureaucracy, yet he did not walk away from the cause. His story is a powerful reminder that America was not built by perfect men, but by patriots willing to risk everything so future generations could live free.

Weaponized Government is not just about politics. It is about the Left's capture of America's institutions and the quiet destruction of self-government.

New York Post reporter and editorial board member Seth Barron joins The P.A.S. Report Podcast to discuss his new book, Weaponized: The Left's Capture and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions. Barron exposes how citizenship, policing, housing, and education have been transformed from institutions that serve the people into tools used to centralize power, weaken local control, and impose a radical political agenda on ordinary Americans.

What You'll Learn

• How the Left blurred the line between citizen and non-citizen to weaken the meaning of American citizenship
• Why "Defund the Police" was never just bad policy, but part of a larger strategy to transform public safety
• How housing policy, density, YIMBY, and "walkable cities" are being used to attack suburbs and local control
• Why teachers' unions became one of the most powerful forces in leftist politics and school indoctrination
• Whether America's captured institutions can be reclaimed before the damage becomes permanent

From open borders and public safety to education and housing, this episode breaks down how America's sacred institutions became weaponized and what citizens must understand before it is too late.

The SPLC indictment raises a much bigger question than nonprofit corruption: Did the FBI and federal bureaucracy use ideological organizations to shape domestic terrorism threat assessments?

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how the Southern Poverty Law Center became a case study in state power laundering, where partisan activist labels were pushed into FBI work products, training, and the broader domestic terror framework. This episode goes beyond the outrage to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, the Strategic Implementation Plan, and Action 1.1.1c created a backdoor around the Constitution.

What You'll Learn:

• The Shadow Network: How the SPLC indictment connects to the FBI, informants, shell companies, and domestic terrorism analysis.
• The Case Study: Why the anti-Catholic memo revealed a much deeper pipeline between ideological nonprofits and federal agencies.
• State Power Laundering: How "non-governmental experts" help launder partisan narratives into official federal threat assessments.
• Vague Labels: Why terms like anti-government, anti-authority, extremism, hate, and misinformation can be used to target ordinary Americans.
• The Remedy: What Congress must do to dismantle the mechanism and stop the bureaucracy from using third parties to bypass the Fourth Amendment.

This is not just about the SPLC. The SPLC is the case study. The bureaucracy is the threat. The mechanism must be dismantled.

Political violence is escalating, and the left's political violence problem can't be ignored. This episode exposes how media narratives, Democratic rhetoric, and selective data create a permission structure for violence.

The latest Trump assassination attempt is not an isolated incident. Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the pattern of political violence targeting Trump, conservatives, Supreme Court justices, Republican lawmakers, and public figures, while exposing how the media deflects, manipulates data, and hides behind January 6 whenever the facts become inconvenient.

What You'll Learn

• How the phrase "Friendly Federal Assassin" reveals the moral permission structure behind political violence
• Why Obama's post after the manifesto release looked more like narrative control than unity
• The partial list of assassination attempts and politically motivated attacks the media downplays • How datasets manipulate the "right-wing violence" narrative by excluding BLM riots, anti-ICE attacks, anti-Tesla attacks, and anti-Israel violence
• Why figures like Luigi Mangione and Hasan Piker reveal a growing culture where violence is framed as moral virtue

This is not a generic "both sides" lecture. It is a deeper look at the rhetoric, data games, and moral inversion fueling America's political violence crisis.

Eleven scientists are either missing or dead, and the silence from federal agencies is becoming impossible to ignore.

Retired FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill joins The P.A.S. Report to explain why these cases should have triggered an immediate counterintelligence response. From the Los Alamos connection to high-level Q clearances, Hill breaks down the protocols that should exist when sensitive scientific personnel disappear. This episode examines why the lack of visible federal urgency raises serious national security questions and points to a deeper systemic failure.

The conversation also expands into China's multi-decade theft of American technology, the SPLC's role in shaping federal narratives, and why the bureaucracy has become a "FUBAR" fourth branch of government operating without real accountability.

What You'll Learn:

• The national security implications of scientists disappearing or dying under unusual circumstances
• What should happen when employees with high-level clearances go missing
• Why George Hill believes this deserved a counterintelligence investigation early on
• How China's intelligence operations target American technology and intellectual talent
• Whether the federal bureaucracy can be reformed, or whether it is beyond repair

This episode goes beyond the headlines to ask the questions Washington refuses to answer.
