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. He also explains how we can still fight back using the tools built into the Constitution. 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

About the Lecture: This discussion is based on a case study that examines two policy proposals, federalism or secession, as possible solutions for the Kurdish conflict in Iran. It is a study that meticulously analyzes the historical background of the Kurdish question, identifying the critical factors for the emergence of Kurdish nationalism in Iran and the environmental degradation and dynamics of regional politics as additional factors to the complexity and multidimensional nature of the Kurdish conflict in Iran. Ultimately, this study aimed to answer one main research question: Which of these two distinct policy proposals, asymmetrical federalism, or remedial secession, can provide a peaceful and democratic solution to the long-lasting Kurdish conflict in Iran? About the Speaker: Following the Iranian revolution in 1979, Salah Bayaziddi, as a young sympathizer, joined the political process and became an activist in the Kurdish struggle against the oppression of the Iranian regime at an incredibly young age. In 1982, regime security forces arrested him. He survived over two years of torture and solitary confinement for his beliefs in a free and democratic Iran based on equality for all ethnic and religious groups, including Kurds. Following his release from prison, Salah was under strict and constant watch by regime security and intelligence agencies. From 1984 to 1990, he was deprived of the right to study, the right to work, and the right to travel outside Iran. In 1990, Salah Bayaziddi escaped Iran through the mountains of Turkey. In Ankara, he applied for refugee status and was accepted as a new Canadian immigrant through the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In 1991, Salah Bayaziddi resettled in Toronto. He has been active in Kurdish politics and an advocate for human rights in Iran for over 40 years. Salah Bayaziddi received his BA in Political Science from York University in Toronto, an MA in International Relations from Brock University in Canada, and a PhD in International Peace and Conflict Resolution from NSU Florida.

In this episode, Divya speaks with Scott Hardy. Scott is an Extension Educator with the Ohio Sea Grant College Program, where he leads research and runs education and outreach programs on watershed restoration, coastal zone management, and stormwater runoff. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, where he works on several research projects. Scott's work is all about collaboration — bringing people together to solve problems that no one can tackle alone. He knows that collaboration isn't automatic. It takes time, trust, and spaces where people feel heard and included. He also believes that every place is different, and you need to really understand the local context to make teamwork work. Different projects need different kinds of partnerships, and Scott is skilled at figuring out what each situation needs. In this episode, they talk about Scott's ongoing work on Cuyahoga River restoration, where he has been closely collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders ranging from state agencies to industry to local communities. They also talk about his recent experience as a Fulbright Specialist at the Universidad de Atacama in Copiapó, Chile, where he was invited to share his expertise on sustainable water management.  References:  Hardy, S.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, to explore the growing disconnect between the American people and their government. He explains why Americans no longer trust government and how to fix it. As public trust continues to erode, Meckler breaks down how entrenched bureaucracy, unpunished corruption, and an unaccountable political class have warped the system beyond recognition. They also discuss the potential of third-party movements like Elon Musk's and why the Convention of States may be the only real solution to restore constitutional principles, enforce term limits, and rein in runaway spending. Episode Highlights: The Convention of States offers a constitutional path to implement term limits, enforce fiscal restraints, and shrink the federal bureaucracy. Elon Musk's rumored third-party movement could fracture the GOP and reshape political coalitions. America's unelected bureaucratic class now functions as an unaccountable fourth branch of government.

Republicans have passed President Trump's One Big, Beautiful bill, but is it built on bad faith stereotypes? The legislation guts funding for Medicaid, and for a long time Republicans have been attacking the program as sort of welfare for moochers. Who exactly are these moochers? And could it be you?Brittany is joined by Joan Alker, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Georgetown Center for Children and Families, and Jamila Michener, professor and author of Fragmented Democracy: Medicaid, Federalism and Unequal Politics to understand how stereotypes about who deserves health insurance affect us all.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What is the Electoral College and how does it preserve states' rights and protect the voices of our citizens? We often see messages from media pundits and activists calling for “national popular vote” reforms and pleas to “count all votes.” What would those changes mean to our country and to freedoms we cherish? With Linda to discuss these often-asked questions is Michael Maibach, Policy Advisor for The American Civil Rights Union and Distinguished Fellow for Save Our States. Michael provides historically grounded and constitutionally sound insights into how the Electoral College protects minority rights, prevents regional domination, and ensures that small and large states have a voice in presidential elections. The Electoral College provides a stabilizing force to ensure states' rights and citizen voices are protected, which is why every American will benefit from understanding the importance of this process.

Friday June 6, 2025 Corporate Enforcement for the New Federalism

This case concerned the question of whether the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires an agency to study environmental impacts beyond the proximate effects of the action over which the agency has regulatory authority. When the Surface Transportation Board granted a petition from the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition to construct and operate an 80-mile Utah railway, they conducted an environmental review in which they considered direct impacts of the highway on nearby land, water, and air. But they did not consider certain environmental “downline impacts” or possible effects on historic sites along the Union Pacific line in Eagle County. The county challenged their review as inadequate, while the Board argues that these effects were either too minimal for serious analysis, or outside the scope of their authority.This case was decided 8-0 on May 29. The Court ruled in favor of the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition, concluding that the federal environmental review process does not have to consider “downline” impacts. Join us in discussing the case and its decision with Mario Loyola and Austin Lipari, who wrote amicus briefs in support of petitioners.Featuring:Prof. Mario Loyola, Senior Fellow for Law, Economics, and Technology, The Heritage Foundation; Professor, Florida International UniversityModerator: Austin Lipari, Counsel, Boyden Gray PLLC--To register, click the link above.

At a time of serious conflict with our neighbours to the south, perhaps a more concerning conflict might be coming from within. As calls for separation in places like Alberta grow louder, it brings up the question of how a nation can operate with respective regional interests? And, can Canada keep itself from coming apart? Joining to discuss these regional tensions are former premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney; Martha Hall Findlay, a former MP and director of the School of Public Policy and Palmer Chair at the University of Calgary; Felix Mathieu, Professor in the Department of Law at the Université du Quebec en Outaouais and co-editor of the Canadian Journal of Political Science; and John Ibbitson, journalist, writer and co-author with Darrell Bricker for their forthcoming book, "Breaking Point: The Big Shifts That Put Canada at Risk." They join Steve Paikin to discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson cover a range of pressing issues, from Senator Rand Paul's recent visit to Iowa and the implications of his federal spending critique, to the Iowa legislature's new civics education requirement for high school students. It's an episode that connects federal fiscal concerns with state-level responsibility—and a call to renew America's civic literacy.The discussion begins with Paul's call for real entitlement reform and block granting federal funds like Medicaid and education to the states. While supportive in theory, Chris and John point out the potential risks of this approach if not accompanied by meaningful federal spending reform: namely, federal offloading without federal funding. Drawing on Iowa's experience with Medicaid expansion, they caution that block grants without budget discipline at the federal level simply shift the fiscal burden to states like Iowa.They then turn to the 2026 Iowa governor's race, examining early dynamics within the Democratic Party. A progressive blog post critical of State Auditor Rob Sand's moderate positioning prompts a discussion about ideological tensions, and whether Iowa Democrats will again try to coronate a nominee rather than hold a competitive primary.The second half of the show shifts to civics education. Governor Kim Reynolds recently signed a bill requiring high school graduates to pass the U.S. citizenship exam—a move the hosts praise as a baseline requirement to restore public understanding of American government. Chris quizzes John on real questions from the exam, sparking a spirited conversation on federalism, states' rights, and education bias in civics classrooms.They close the show with a quote quiz from the Hendrickson Library archives on government reform and tax restraint—a reminder that spending discipline is not a new idea, and that state and federal leaders must embrace it again.

This lecture outlines the foundational principles of federalism in the United States, explaining the division of power between the federal government and individual states. It defines federalism by contrasting it with unitary and confederate systems, then details how the U.S. Constitution establishes this structure through enumerated powers for the federal government and reserved powers for the states via the Tenth Amendment. The lecture also highlights crucial constitutional clauses like the Necessary and Proper Clause, the Supremacy Clause, and the Commerce Clause, discussing their impact on the balance of power and examining their interpretation through landmark Supreme Court cases such as McCulloch v. Maryland, Gibbons v. Ogden, and United States v. Lopez, showcasing the evolving nature of federal authority.Federalism as a Core Principle: The lecture emphasizes that federalism is not merely a theoretical concept but is "at the very core of the United States constitutional system." It represents a "sophisticated division of powers" between the national government and the individual states, designed to achieve a "balance between national unity and the preservation of state autonomy." This system contrasts with unitary systems (centralized power) and confederations (states retaining dominant sovereignty).Constitutional Basis for Federalism: The document outlines the specific constitutional provisions that establish and delineate federalism:Enumerated Powers (Article One, Section Eight): The Constitution lists specific powers granted to the federal government, such as regulating interstate commerce, coining money, declaring war, and raising armies. These are presented as a "carefully selected set of responsibilities deemed essential for the national government to effectively function."Implied Powers (Necessary and Proper Clause, Article One, Section Eight): This clause grants Congress the power to enact laws "necessary and proper" for carrying out its enumerated powers. It is described as a "vital source of flexibility," allowing the federal government to adapt and effectively exercise its responsibilities.Reserved Powers (Tenth Amendment): This amendment states that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." This reinforces the principle of limited federal power and affirms the states' broad authority over matters not specifically assigned to the national government, including "health, safety, welfare, and morals" (police powers).Supremacy Clause (Article Six, Clause Two): This clause establishes the hierarchy of law, declaring the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties as the "supreme Law of the Land." It ensures that "federal law will prevail" in cases of direct conflict with state law and prevents states from undermining valid federal laws.The Significance of the Commerce Clause: The Commerce Clause (Article One, Section Eight, Clause Three), granting Congress the power "to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes," is highlighted as a "most significant and frequently litigated sources of federal authority." Its interpretation has "profoundly influenced the balance of power between the federal government and the states," reflecting "evolving societal needs and philosophical perspectives."Landmark Supreme Court Cases and their Impact: The lecture reviews key cases illustrating the evolution of federalism and the interpretation of federal power:Federalism, Division of Powers, Constitutional Law, Supreme Court, State Sovereignty, Commerce Clause, Judicial Review, Implied Powers, Sovereign Immunity, Civil Rights

Part 1 Novus Ordo Seclorum by Forrest Mcdonald Summary"Novus Ordo Seclorum" is a comprehensive study by Forrest McDonald that delves into the philosophical and historical underpinnings of American democracy, particularly focusing on the influences of Enlightenment thought and the Founding Fathers. The title itself, which translates to "New Order of the Ages," reflects the ambition of the American Revolution to create a new system of governance that deviated from the traditional monarchic and authoritarian structures prevalent in Europe. Key Themes and Ideas:Influence of Enlightenment Philosophy: McDonald highlights how the Enlightenment era introduced ideas of liberty, republicanism, and individual rights, significantly influencing the American Founding Fathers. The text examines how this philosophical backdrop shaped the core documents and principles of American governance, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.Federalism and Constitutional Design: The book discusses the delicate balance the Founding Fathers sought to achieve between federal and state powers. McDonald analyzes the debates surrounding the creation of the Constitution and how the checks and balances were intended to prevent tyranny and ensure the protection of individual freedoms.The Role of History and Ideology: McDonald places American history within a broader ideological context, arguing that the unique American system cannot be fully understood without recognizing its historical roots. He serves up a narrative that illustrates how previous political theories—especially those of European origin—were adapted and reinterpreted in the American setting.The Evolution of the American Government: The text also covers the evolution of American democracy, exploring how the principles laid out by the Founding Fathers have been challenged and reinterpreted over time. McDonald reflects on the legacy of those original ideas and how they resonate in contemporary political discussions.Critique of Modern Democracy: In his critique of modern iterations of democracy, McDonald argues that while the original design was revolutionary, it has been distorted by various political trends and pressures. He emphasizes the need for a return to foundational principles to revitalize American democracy. Conclusion:"Novus Ordo Seclorum" offers a thorough historical examination of the American democratic system, emphasizing the philosophy behind its creation and its ongoing significance. McDonald presents a narrative that is both scholarly and accessible, aimed at a readership interested in understanding the complexities of American governance and its philosophical foundations.Part 2 Novus Ordo Seclorum AuthorForrest McDonald is a notable American historian, particularly known for his work on the American Founding and the history of political thought in the United States.
