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.

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.

Newly declassified documents released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard expose the truth behind the Russia hoax, confirming that the Intelligence Community knew before the 2016 election that Russia posed no credible threat to the outcome, yet a post-election political operation, driven by the Obama White House and weaponized by senior officials, flipped the narrative to undermine President Trump.

Episode Highlights: The Intelligence Community's original 2016 assessment debunked claims of Russian vote tampering, before the narrative was flipped. How the Obama administration suppressed dissent, buried intelligence, and inserted the discredited Steele Dossier to delegitimize Trump.

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.

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.
