In this episode of America’s Founding Series, Professor Giordano explores the life and legacy of James Wilson, one of the most influential yet overlooked Founding Fathers. As one of only six men to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, Wilson played a pivotal role in shaping the core structures of American government—including the Electoral College, the independent judiciary, and the concept of a single, energetic executive. Drawing from his Enlightenment roots and deep belief in popular sovereignty, Wilson’s vision helped define the Constitution as a government of the people. His warnings, insights, and contributions are just as relevant today as they were in 1787.

Episode Highlights:

• How James Wilson’s ideas shaped the Electoral College, the presidency, and judicial independence
• Why Wilson opposed the Bill of Rights—and what it reveals about constitutional interpretation
• The forgotten story of a Founder who helped design America’s legal system, then died broke and in obscurity

ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard has just declassified the Biden administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism and what it reveals should alarm every American. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the newly released SIP and exposes how the federal government built an infrastructure to monitor, censor, and investigate ordinary Americans under the guise of countering domestic extremism. From vague definitions like “anti-government sentiment” to partnerships with Big Tech and mental health professionals, the SIP confirms what he argued: this framework was designed to be weaponized against political dissent. Professor Giordano explains how this system threatens civil liberties, how it could easily be turned against the Left under a future administration, and why immediate reforms are needed to dismantle the administrative state.

Episode Highlights:

• How the declassified SIP proves the government’s framework for targeting political opponents
• Why vague terms like “anti-authority sentiment” open the door to mass surveillance and censorship
• The danger of inverting this strategy under a future administration and why both parties should be alarmed
