Why the FBI Remains Broken Despite Trump, Patel & Bongino

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down President Trump’s visit to the Middle East and what it means for global power dynamics. From boxing in Iran and reversing Biden’s foreign policy failures to blunting China’s growing influence and reigniting the Abraham Accords, Trump is making it clear that America is back as the global leader on the world stage. Professor Giordano dives into the strategic, economic, and ideological implications of this trip, including the $1.4 trillion investment into U.S. companies and the lingering questions about Saudi Arabia’s role in 9/11. Is this the beginning of a lasting peace, or just another geopolitical gamble?

Episode Highlights:

• How Trump’s Middle East visit isolates Iran as the Shia Crescent has been broken
• The $1.4 trillion investment in American companies and the rollback of Biden’s AI export ban
• Why radical Islam, 9/11 truths, and national security threats still shape U.S.-Middle East relations

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.
• Why foreign allies like Unzaga mattered just as much as battlefield victories in securing American independence.

Nick Giordano and Friend break down the disturbing lack of reform inside the FBI, even with President Trump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino now in charge.

Episode Highlights:

• How the National Strategy weaponized the FBI against parents, Catholics, and political dissenters
• Why real FBI reform has stalled despite new leadership under Trump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino
• The connection between post-9/11 security expansions and today’s domestic surveillance state

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? Where the money really went, and why most of it had nothing to do with infrastructure.

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.

Episode Highlights:

• The dramatic moment when George Washington demanded, “Send for Haym Salomon,” to save the Yorktown campaign.
• How Robert Morris created a financial system from scratch to sustain the Revolution and died in debt for it.
