Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano is joined by Stefano Forte, President of the New York Young Republican Club, to discuss the surge of political enthusiasm among young conservatives. Forte explains how the NYYRC is growing rapidly in one of the bluest states in the country and why young people, especially following the pandemic, are rejecting the radical leftist agenda. They also explore how Republicans are gaining ground in deep-blue cities, the disconnect of establishment GOP figures stuck in the past, and what the party must do to capitalize on the momentum. The conversation touches on Trump, grassroots organizing, and the urgency of political courage in today's culture war. Episode Highlights: Why young conservatives are energized and organizing in blue strongholds like New York How establishment Republicans still underestimate how far left Democrats have gone What the GOP must do to secure victories beyond 2024 and win over disaffected voters

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed the House and now goes to the Senate through budget reconciliation. While the bill offers some middle-class tax relief, work requirements, and border enforcement, it fails on fiscal responsibility, limited government, and bureaucratic overreach. Professor Giordano exposes how the bill expands federal power, increases spending, and continues rewarding the same agencies that have abused their authority. He makes it clear that real reform is essential and getting back to the principles of fiscal responsibility and limited government is the real way to usher in the next golden age of America. Episode Highlights: Why Congress hasn't passed a real budget since 1997 and how reconciliation is being abused The good: No tax on tips or overtime, Trump tax cuts extended, border wall funded, work requirements imposed for some entitlement programs like Medicaid and SNAP The bad and ugly: Debt ceiling hike with no reform, departments and agencies continue to see funding increases, and continued bureaucratic bloat

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 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.
