Their legacy challenges modern narratives and reminds us that America’s founding was not just shaped by generals and statesmen, but by ordinary men who believed liberty was worth dying for.

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?

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how America’s financial system has been weaponized to punish political opponents and reshape society. 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. With President Trump’s new Executive Order banning politicized debanking and Senator Tim Scott’s FIRM Act aiming to make those protections permanent, he explains what’s at stake, why your financial freedom hangs in the balance, and how Congress must act before it’s too late.

Episode Highlights How the 2008 financial crisis created “too big to fail” banks and paved the way for politicized banking. The Biden administration’s push to flag “Trump” and “MAGA” transactions, target lawful industries, and revive Operation Chokepoint. Why Trump’s Executive Order is a major win, but why the FIRM Act is critical to making protections against political debanking permanent.

Is America approaching the point where peaceful reform is no longer enough? In this powerful episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano responds to a listener’s bold question: do the government’s abuses rise to the level the Founders warned about? Drawing from the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, and the Founders’ own words, Professor Giordano separates policy disagreements from true tyranny.

From censorship and lawfare to the Chevron ruling and the rise of the Fourth Branch, this episode is a wake-up call for every American who senses something is deeply wrong.

Episode Highlights:

• A listener’s powerful question sparks a deep dive into whether America’s government abuses justify revolution or demand reform
• How the Founders defined tyranny, what "a long train of abuses" really means, and how modern examples like the CIA spying on Congress and the Russia hoax measure up
• Why the Supreme Court’s reversal of the Chevron doctrine marks a historic turning point in reining in the unelected Fourth Branch of government

Report, Professor Nick Giordano tells the riveting story of Nathaniel Greene, the self-taught military genius who defied his Quaker pacifist upbringing to become one of George Washington’s most trusted and effective generals.
