Who actually governs America? Has the administrative state accumulated so much power that it now operates beyond the constitutional authority granted by the American people through their elected representatives? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano examines newly declassified intelligence records, the Floris email, and FBI documents released by Senator Chuck Grassley. These revelations raise serious constitutional questions about whether unelected bureaucrats manipulated intelligence, suppressed critical information, and increasingly viewed themselves as independent from the elected officials they are supposed to serve. This episode examines the administrative state, the Intelligence Community, constitutional accountability, separation of powers, and the growing influence of the permanent bureaucracy, often referred to as the Deep State, through the lens of the U.S. Constitution and the Federalist Papers. Discover how post-9/11 intelligence reforms, institutional self-preservation, and bureaucratic mission creep may have shifted power away from elected officials and toward unelected government institutions, raising a fundamental question: Do the American people still govern the United States, or has the administrative state become America's unelected fourth branch of government? What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why newly declassified intelligence documents raise constitutional questions that extend far beyond a single administration.  How the administrative state expanded after 9/11 and fundamentally changed the relationship between intelligence agencies, elected officials, and the American people.  Why controlling the flow of intelligence can shape constitutional decision-making at the highest levels of government.  How mission creep, bureaucratic self-preservation, and institutional incentives threaten constitutional accountability.  Why the Founders designed a government accountable to We the People and what happens when permanent institutions begin operating outside those constitutional boundaries.  Topics Covered: Administrative State, Deep State, Intelligence Community, FBI, FISA, Constitutional Accountability, Separation of Powers, Self-Government, Federalist 51, Permanent Bureaucracy, Floris Email, Intelligence Reform, Chuck Grassley, Professor Nick Giordano, The P.A.S. Report Podcast

Senator Chuck Grassley is demanding absolute accountability from FBI Director Kash Patel over stunning reports of government waste and corruption. From taking private planes for dates and sporting events with his girlfriend to chauffering personal guests on the taxpayer's dime, the allegations against Patel are sparking a massive political firestorm on Capitol Hill.

Trump had to take two Air Force ones to the NATO summit in Turkey: his new bling Qatari hand-me-down that he wanted to show off and the old baby blue one which he had to use to fly safely home—given the war in neighboring Iran. And at the FBI, Kash Patel's thievery of taxpayer resources has gotten so out of hand, even Chuck Grassley wants answers. Plus: Ukraine has created panic in Russia (which has Trump rethinking which side he wants to root for), Dems should be highlighting the massive military waste in Iran, and Ben invites the public to test-run his new giant database of government records.

A new study from S&P Global and commissioned by U.S. Farmers and Ranchers in Action (USFRA), "Fueling Agriculture: Biofuels as the Catalyst," finds that biofuels have the potential to restore long-term profitability to American farms and drive investment in rural communities; unlock demand for sustainable feedstocks, creating a market that rewards farmers for pioneering modern farm practices; and strengthen food, economic and energy security on a global scale. It could also help motivate the U.S. Senate to pass legislation allowing year-round, nationwide sales of E15 (15% ethanol-blended fuel). In this episode of the ZimmCast, hear from USFRA CEO Kevin Burkum; USFRA vice chairman and Maryland farmer Chip Bowling; Kevin Lindemer, S&P Global Energy; Kelsey Barnes, USDA Senior Advisor for Rural Development and Biofuels; Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Tina Smith (D-MN).

This Day in Legal History: Plessy v. FergusonOn June 7, 1896, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation in the United States. In Plessy v. Ferguson, the Court ruled 7-1 that states could require separate facilities for Black and white people as long as those facilities were “separate but equal.” Homer Plessy, a man of mixed race, had violated a Louisiana law by sitting in a “whites only” railroad car. When arrested, he challenged the law as unconstitutional. Justice Henry Billings Brown wrote for the majority that the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed political and legal equality but not social equality, and that the law was reasonable. Justice John Marshall Harlan issued a lone dissent, famously writing: “Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among its citizens.”This doctrine of “separate but equal” stood for nearly 60 years, providing legal cover for Jim Crow laws and racial apartheid across the South. Schools were drastically unequal in funding and resources. Hotels, restaurants, bathrooms, and water fountains were segregated by race. The doctrine was finally overturned in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which acknowledged that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal” and violated the Fourteenth Amendment. Plessy v. Ferguson represents one of the most consequential wrong turns in Supreme Court history. What made it so damaging was not just the ruling, but the Court's apparent good faith in the “separate but equal” framework—a comfort with the idea that segregation could be constitutional if resources were distributed evenly, a comfort the Court itself never actually required states to achieve. The case shows how courts can legitimize injustice through neutral-sounding language and deference to legislatures.A federal appeals court ruled this week that California schools cannot keep secret a student's gender identity transition from their parents. Think of it this way: California had passed a law giving schools discretion to withhold from parents information about changes to a student's gender expression or identity, reasoning that this protected students from potentially harmful family reactions. But the court found this violated parents' constitutional rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children. The Supreme Court has long recognized that parents have a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children. This includes decisions about their education and health.California's policy attempted to create an exception to parental notification by allowing schools to conceal information about gender identity changes from parents without parental knowledge or consent. The court said California went too far. The judges acknowledged that student safety is a legitimate concern, but concluded that blanket policies allowing schools to hide information from parents violate the constitutional rights that parents have.This case sits at the intersection of three important values: parental rights, student privacy, and student safety. On one side, parents argue they need information to support their children's development and health. On the other, supporters of the California policy argued that some students face rejection or harm from parents if they learn about gender transitions, and that schools need confidentiality to protect vulnerable youth. The court sided with parental notification rights, but left open the question of whether schools can still withhold information in specific cases where there's evidence of abuse or danger. The ruling doesn't mean schools must immediately report every aspect of a student's identity; rather, it means they generally cannot have a blanket policy of concealing gender-related information from parents.California Gender Transition Parental Notification CaseThe Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in Trump v. Barbara, a case with potentially enormous implications for citizenship law in America. Here's what's at stake: On his first day of his second term, President Trump signed an executive order attempting to deny birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. if their parents entered the country illegally or are living and working in the U.S. on temporary visas. This directly challenges the Fourteenth Amendment, which provides that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.”For over 150 years, the United States has interpreted the Fourteenth Amendment to mean that virtually anyone born on U.S. soil becomes a U.S. citizen at birth, regardless of their parents' immigration status. Trump's order says the clause “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” excludes children of illegal aliens and temporary visa holders. The administration argues that these children are not fully “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States in the way the amendment requires. Legal scholars and immigration advocates counter that “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” simply means not immune from U.S. law—which applies to everyone in the country, citizen and non-citizen alike.This case could affect millions of people. The U.S. currently grants automatic citizenship to roughly 250,000 to 375,000 children born to undocumented immigrants each year. If Trump v. Barbara succeeds, those children would not automatically be citizens. The case will require the Supreme Court to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment—one of the most fundamental provisions in the Constitution. The Court hasn't definitively ruled on the citizenship status of children born to undocumented immigrants in modern times. The outcome will reshape American immigration law and the path to citizenship for generations to come.Litigation Tracker: Legal Challenges to Trump Administration ActionsA Senate Judiciary Committee advanced two bipartisan bills that would expand camera access in the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal courtrooms. The bills, the Cameras in the Courtroom Act and the Sunshine in the Courtroom Act, now move to the full Senate for possible consideration. Supporters say the measures would make the judiciary more transparent by allowing the public to see important proceedings without having to attend in person. Senator Chuck Grassley, who chairs the committee and co-sponsored both bills, argued that Americans should be able to observe cases that affect the whole country, especially at the Supreme Court. Senator Amy Klobuchar also supported the effort, comparing courtroom access to the public's ability to watch Congress on C-SPAN.The federal judiciary opposes the proposals and warned that cameras could create problems for jury trials, witness safety, courtroom security, and the administration of justice. The Supreme Court has traditionally barred video coverage, although it began offering live audio of oral arguments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cameras in the Courtroom Act would require televised coverage of public Supreme Court proceedings unless a majority of justices found that cameras would violate due process. The Sunshine in the Courtroom Act would give federal judges broader discretion to allow photography, recording, broadcasting, or televising of court proceedings. That bill also includes safeguards for jurors and witnesses, limits coverage of private conversations, and would expire after three years unless Congress renews it.US Senate panel advances bills allowing cameras in US Supreme Court, lower courts | Reuters This is a public episode.

As we record this, the New York Knicks just might be poised to make history and win their first NBA championship since 1973 (Go Knicks!), but we're here today to talk about a potential win that could be even bigger for New York than the Knicks taking it all… the passage of The New York Health Act! The New York Health Act, currently working its way through the NY state legislature, would guarantee high-quality, comprehensive healthcare to every single New Yorker, and – it turns out – save families, counties, cities, schools, and taxpayers billions of dollars! We've got two of the leaders of the Campaign for New York Health to bring us up to speed on the bill and tell us more about how they're working to make universal healthcare a reality in the Empire State! https://www.youtube.com/live/hodcUC-pgIg?si=2BjDQV6L-ogqZZHx Campaign for New York Health Our guests for this episode are Campaign for New York Health Executive Director Melanie D’Arrigo and Managing Director for Results for Development Dr. Cheryl Cashin. You can read the NY Health=NY Wealth report that details how passing the New York Health Act would guarantee healthcare for every New Yorker AND save billions of dollars for individuals, families, and entire counties, cities, and towns on their website. Medicaid Work Requirements Those new Medicaid work requirements are about to cause millions of Americans to lose their healthcare. This is a policy that was disastrous for Medicare in the 1990s and disastrous in all the states where it’s been tried for Medicaid so far.

Shipwreck returns for episode 57 with a Lone Star tick warning, an Iowa political upset, and a Hunter Biden theory that fully reels her back into the discourse she swore off last week. She opens with the unexpected primary win of Zach Lane over the heavily funded Randy Feenster, weighs in on Iowa's alarming cancer rates, and shares why she long ago lost faith in Chuck Grassley after a town hall encounter. Then it gets weirder. She unpacks the lone star tick's link to alpha gal meat allergy, CIA experiments at Plum Island, and why Google releasing bioengineered mosquitoes might be the least strange thing this week. There is a fed up rant about ads in every app, subscriptions for headphones you already own, and the gas pump that now plays commercials. She breaks down billionaire tax loopholes, asks why IRS workers don't simply quit, and walks through Peter Thiel's Argentina move and his Honduras private city lawsuit. Then comes a long, animated Hunter Biden theory about the laptop, Ashley's diary, and what really happened to Joe's first wife. Plus zinc for warts, a crow army defending chickens, and a bicyclist roast.

It requires patience, discipline, persuasion, timing, and above all, the ability to manage strong personalities while navigating constantly shifting political realities.This episode explores the leadership characteristics that defined Dole's approach and helped him become one of the most respected congressional leaders of his generation.Among the traits examined:• His sharp political instincts and tactical discipline • His mastery of Senate procedure and legislative strategy • His ability to negotiate and build coalitions • His use of humor and wit as political tools • His loyalty to the institution of the Senate itself • His balancing act between ideology and practical governanceWhether serving in the majority or the minority, Dole understood that Senate leadership required flexibility as much as conviction. He could be partisan when necessary, bipartisan when possible, and pragmatic when governing demanded it.The episode also reflects on how Dole's wartime experiences, personal resilience, and years in public service shaped his leadership style — giving him both toughness and perspective in moments of conflict and crisis.This is a portrait of leadership not built on charisma alone, but on preparation, endurance, and understanding how power actually works inside the Senate.A leader of strategy. A leader of relationships. And a leader shaped by both ambition and experience.

- Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm- WILLAg News | Senate Farm Bill, Beef Imports, Trump v Xi- E15 Supports Hold Press Conference on the Capitol Steps- Ag Weather with Don DayThe May 12, 2026, Closing Market Report details a confluence of critical agricultural market data, legislative stalemates, and international trade developments. Market analyst Naomi Blohm noted that while the latest USDA WASDE report offered a surprising bump in soybean export and crush demand, markets remain hesitant ahead of a highly anticipated Beijing summit between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, where U.S. Senators are already heavily lobbying for increased agricultural exports. Domestically, agricultural policy faces significant friction; Senator Charles Grassley indicated the Senate farm bill is likely stalled over SNAP reform disputes, and the Trump administration's move to increase beef import flexibility has divided the domestic cattle industry. Conversely, bipartisan momentum is building in the House for permanent, year-round E15 fuel legislation, championed by Representative Nikki Budzinski as a crucial stabilizer for rural economies. Meteorologically, the U.S. Corn Belt is expected to transition from an unseasonably cool pattern to warmer, stormier conditions, while Brazil's safrinha corn region trends unfavorably dry. ★ Support this podcast ★

A whistleblower claims the FBI hid explosive intelligence in a secret “Prohibited Access” system—including alleged evidence of China and Iran accessing U.S. voter data before the 2020 election. We break down the claims, the cover-up allegations, and what it could mean moving forward. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Today's episode dives into a stunning set of allegations involving a secret FBI system known as “Prohibited Access,” reportedly used to conceal sensitive intelligence from Congress and even senior officials. According to claims discussed by Senator Charles Grassley and reporting tied to John Solomon, whistleblowers allege that critical information about foreign access to U.S. voter registration data was hidden inside this system. The transcript outlines claims that China and Iran accessed sensitive voter data—including driver's license numbers and partial Social Security information—and that internal intelligence reports tied to these breaches were restricted, deleted, or never fully disclosed. It also explores allegations that internal FBI programs, including operations designed to suppress damaging information, existed outside normal oversight channels, raising serious questions about transparency and accountability. Additionally, the episode connects these claims to broader narratives from 2020, including the push for mail-in voting, social media censorship of “election fraud” discussions, and ongoing debates over election security legislation. These claims are highly controversial and remain unproven—but if substantiated, they could represent one of the most significant intelligence and oversight failures in modern U.S. history.

A whistleblower reveals a secret “Prohibited Access” system inside the FBI, hiding explosive evidence of foreign interference in the 2020 election. China and Iran allegedly accessed voter data to create fake ballots—and it was covered up at the highest levels. We break it all down. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY This episode dives deep into claims of election tampering, intelligence suppression, and government cover-ups: Whistleblower disclosures to Charles Grassley reveal an FBI “Prohibited Access” system, a hidden archive controlling what Congress sees. Allegations that China and Iran hacked voter databases to manufacture fraudulent absentee ballots, while U.S. intelligence kept this hidden from lawmakers and the public. Operation Round River: A purported FBI campaign to silence whistleblowers investigating Biden family bribery and financial improprieties. Evidence of counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses shipped from China to facilitate election fraud. Connections between the 2020 election, Democrats' absentee ballot push, and foreign interference. Discussion of cybersecurity measures and algorithms allegedly used to suppress social media posts exposing absentee ballot fraud. How this fits into broader U.S. foreign policy, including Iran, Syria, and the Middle East. Critique of Joe Kent's resignation as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, his previous positions on Iran, and accusations of blaming Israel to distract from failures. The episode is a whirlwind of alleged secrets, foreign involvement, and intelligence agency cover-ups—forcing listeners to question what really happened in 2020 and why it was kept hidden.
