Richard Henry Lee is the Founding Father who made July 4th possible, yet most Americans barely know his name. Before the Declaration of Independence and Jefferson's immortal words, Lee forced the Second Continental Congress to choose independence. In this episode of America's Founding Series, part of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano marks the 250-year anniversary of the Lee Resolution, introduced on June 7, 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House. Discover how Richard Henry Lee moved the colonies from resistance to separation, why Congress was deeply fractured, and how June 7th set the stage for the Declaration of Independence, July 4th, and the birth of the United States. What You'll Learn: Why Richard Henry Lee deserves recognition as one of America's most important Founding Fathers  How the Lee Resolution made July 4th and the Declaration of Independence possible  Why June 7, 1776, forced the Second Continental Congress to finally choose independence  How the fierce debate between radicals and moderates like John Dickinson shaped the vote  The difference between July 2nd, the vote for independence, and July 4th, the adoption of the Declaration  What Lee's courage teaches Americans today about liberty, self-government, and constitutional responsibility  Richard Henry Lee did not write the Declaration of Independence, but he forced Congress to make the decision that required one. This forgotten moment in American Revolution history reminds every generation that liberty demands more than slogans. It requires courage, responsibility, and a people willing to govern themselves.

How does a concerned father challenging a school board curriculum wind up facing federal travel scrutiny and an FBI visit? Terry Newsome joins The P.A.S. Report Podcast to expose the terrifying reality of how parental rights, free speech, and political dissent are being targeted by America's label-and-smear machine. In this powerful episode, Terry Newsome, father of twins, Illinois Chapter President of Parents Involved in Education, and host of Behind Enemy Lines, tells his story of being targeted after challenging explicit material in local schools. The conversation breaks down a chilling timeline showing how the Southern Poverty Law Center, activist networks, legacy media outlets, and federal bureaucratic institutions can create a pipeline that intimidates parents, weaponizes labels, and silences ordinary Americans. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Local Catalyst: How Terry Newsome went from an ordinary father to a school board activist fighting for curriculum transparency.  The SPLC Smear Machine: How a national ideological organization can turn local parental dissent into an "extremism" narrative.  The Federal Fallout: How Terry says the SPLC campaign was followed by TSA PreCheck issues, repeated Quad-S travel screenings, and an FBI visit.  The Media Echo Chamber: How legacy media amplification turns NGO hit pieces into public reputational attacks.  The Fightback Strategy: What ordinary citizens can do when powerful public-private institutions try to chill free speech.  This episode exposes the SPLC machine, the weaponization of government agencies, and the growing danger of allowing unelected ideological organizations to influence law enforcement, shape public narratives, and target parents who refuse to stay quiet.

Domestic Terror Strategy: Trump's Fix Isn't Enough

The National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism has been rewritten and the domestic terror strategy has changed, but has the real problem actually been solved? Nearly five years after the Biden administration transformed domestic surveillance, the Trump administration narrowed the counterterrorism focus back toward violence and criminal conduct. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines the Trump administration's revisions to the domestic terror framework, the constitutional dangers of the previous guidelines, and why the permanent bureaucracy remains one of the greatest threats to American liberty. While the revised strategy strips away vague ideological metrics like "anti-government" and "anti-authority" sentiment, the administrative machinery that enabled recent government abuses remains fully intact. From intelligence-sharing fusion centers to public-private censorship pipelines and sweeping surveillance authorities, the underlying weaponization infrastructure is merely waiting for the next administration. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Original Sin: How the 2021 Domestic Terror Strategy shifted the threshold away from criminal conduct and toward ideological "sentiment."  The Overhaul: Why the Trump administration's policy pivot represents a necessary constitutional correction.  The NSPM-7 Paradox: What National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 does, and how it could be turned against citizens again.  The Surveillance Pattern: How the Patriot Act, Total Information Awareness, and PRISM reveal 25 years of expanding bureaucratic power.  The Congressional Failure: Why Congress keeps passing clean FISA reauthorizations while abdicating real oversight.  Five years later, the debate is no longer about one president or one party. It is about whether a constitutional republic can survive a weaponized bureaucracy that treats political dissent, free speech, and ideological disagreement as predictive threat indicators.

Don't Tread on Me was never just a flag. It was Christopher Gadsden's warning about what happens when free people get comfortable with power. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, the America's Founding Series tells the story of Christopher Gadsden, the South Carolina patriot behind the iconic Gadsden flag and the enduring phrase, Don't Tread on Me. From the Stamp Act crisis to the fall of Charleston, from revolutionary defiance to imprisonment in St. Augustine, Gadsden's story reveals why liberty requires vigilance, courage, and a people willing to say no when government power goes too far. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Making of a Firebrand: How Christopher Gadsden became one of the most aggressive Patriot voices in South Carolina. The Danger of Incrementalism: Why the Stamp Act crisis was never just about a tax on paper, but about sovereignty, precedent, and arbitrary power. The Symbol of the Rattlesnake: The real meaning behind the Gadsden flag and why it was designed as a warning, not a call for conquest. The Test of Conviction: How the fall of Charleston and solitary confinement at Castillo de San Marcos tested Gadsden's dedication to the cause. The Modern Lesson: Why Gadsden's warning still matters as government power and bureaucratic authority continue to expand. Christopher Gadsden's life was filled with contradictions, but his message remains clear: liberty dies when citizens stop guarding it. This episode connects the American Revolution, the Gadsden flag, limited government, and the founding generation's fight against tyrannical overreach to the challenges facing Americans today as we celebrate America 250.

"Nazi" Smears & Campus Hypocrisy expose Higher Ed's Toxic Double Standard as universities preach civility while excusing ideological attacks. Universities love to talk about inclusion, safety, and respect, but what happens when a conservative professor is smeared in front of students and the university shrugs? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano speaks with professor, author, and Campus Reform Higher Ed Fellow Adam Ellwanger about his latest Campus Reform piece detailing how a colleague allegedly called him a "Nazi white supremacist" in front of an entire classroom. Ellwanger explains what happened, how the university responded, and why the incident reveals a much larger crisis inside American higher education.  The conversation goes beyond one campus smear to examine academic freedom, DEI loopholes, faculty ideological capture, declining college standards, weak writing skills, AI plagiarism, and the death of the college credential. Giordano and Ellwanger expose how higher education's toxic double standard protects leftist privilege while students, parents, taxpayers, and employers pay the price. What You'll Learn In This Episode How "Nazi" smears and ideological labels are used to intimidate conservative professors and silence dissent.  Why campus hypocrisy exposes a toxic double standard in university speech codes and professional standards.  How DEI loopholes and faculty hiring practices keep higher education ideologically captured.  Why the college credential is losing value as employers drop four-year degree requirements.  How AI, poor writing skills, and collapsing academic standards are weakening critical thinking.

Is the Deep State untouchable? Sharyl Attkisson joins The P.A.S. Report to expose how government abuse, media corruption, and bureaucratic immunity protect the powerful while punishing dissent. Award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, host of Full Measure and author of Follow the Science, breaks down the DOJ indictment of former Fauci adviser Dr. David Morens, the COVID coverup culture, FOIA abuses, public health fear campaigns, and the danger of partisan outside organizations influencing federal threat assessments. This episode examines how narrative control, censorship, and government immunity create a system where accountability becomes nearly impossible. What You'll Learn: The Morens Indictment: How the David Morens case exposes deeper evasion tactics inside the public health bureaucracy. Evasion of Oversight: How bureaucrats evade FOIA and public records laws while Congress performs outrage. The Media Fear Machine: Why coordinated fear campaigns, including virus coverage, deserve skepticism after COVID. The Immunity Armor: How government immunity and legal barriers protect officials from accountability. Institutional Capture: How partisan outside organizations influence federal agencies and threat assessments. Sharyl Attkisson reveals why government abuse thrives when the bureaucracy polices itself, the media protects preferred narratives, and citizens are left fighting a system designed to outlast them.

Saving Democracy by Destroying It: The Democrat Power Grab exposes how the modern Left increasingly labels constitutional safeguards as "anti-democratic" when they block progressive power. From Hakeem Jeffries' floated judicial purge to Kamala Harris's "no bad idea" brainstorming on radical structural changes, this episode breaks down the effort to reshape America's governing framework. The P.A.S. Report examines the Founders' original intent behind our constitutional republic and connects the dots between court packing, abolishing the Electoral College, eliminating the Senate filibuster, pushing D.C. statehood, weakening border enforcement, and mass amnesty. Host Nick Giordano explains why these are not random ideas, but part of a broader push to engineer a new country and cement permanent political dominance. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Judicial Death Spiral: Why court packing destroys the moral authority and legitimacy of the judiciary.  The Electoral College Civics Lesson: Why the Founders rejected pure democracy and protected the voice of the states.  The D.C. Statehood Power Play: Why the Left rejects retrocession and insists on statehood to alter the Senate.  Reshaping the Electorate: How open borders and weakened safeguards affect American communities.  The Linguistic Trick: How activists reframe checks and balances as "threats to democracy" to justify institutional arson.

White Supremacy and the Right-Wing Lie exposes one of the most successful psychological operations in modern American politics: the claim that racial extremism is an extension of Republicans and Conservatives. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano dismantles the media, academic, and bureaucratic myth that white supremacist organizations are "right-wing." By examining the actual ideology of these groups, from National Socialists and accelerationists to revolutionary anti-capitalists, Professor Giordano shows that the real divide in America is not Left vs. Right, but Constitutional Liberty vs. Collectivist Power. What You'll Learn: Ideological Fraud: Why white supremacy rejects individual rights, equality under law, and the American founding in favor of racial collectivism.  Naming the Groups: A deep dive into the beliefs of the National Socialist Movement, Atomwaffen Division, The Base, Patriot Front, and neo-Völkisch movements.  The Soviet Playbook: How political labeling tactics and academic theories were used to pathologize patriotism, religion, and traditional values.  The DEI Connection: Why racial equity frameworks and white supremacy share the same poisonous premise: that the individual is subordinate to the racial group.  The Modern Machine: Why the SPLC, the media, and the bureaucracy need the "Right-Wing Extremism" narrative to justify expanding surveillance and silencing dissent.  The "right-wing" lie survives because it is a weapon. It allows powerful institutions to smear ordinary Americans and treat constitutional dissent as a domestic threat. It is time to stop playing defense. This episode challenges the labels, exposes the fraud, and proves that white supremacy isn't conservatism. It is a rejection of the American Creed.

Weaponized Government is not just about politics. It is about the Left's capture of America's institutions and the quiet destruction of self-government. New York Post reporter and editorial board member Seth Barron joins The P.A.S. Report Podcast to discuss his new book, Weaponized: The Left's Capture and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions. Barron exposes how citizenship, policing, housing, and education have been transformed from institutions that serve the people into tools used to centralize power, weaken local control, and impose a radical political agenda on ordinary Americans. What You'll Learn How the Left blurred the line between citizen and non-citizen to weaken the meaning of American citizenship  Why "Defund the Police" was never just bad policy, but part of a larger strategy to transform public safety  How housing policy, density, YIMBY, and "walkable cities" are being used to attack suburbs and local control  Why teachers' unions became one of the most powerful forces in leftist politics and school indoctrination  Whether America's captured institutions can be reclaimed before the damage becomes permanent  From open borders and public safety to education and housing, this episode breaks down how America's sacred institutions became weaponized and what citizens must understand before it is too late.

The SPLC indictment raises a much bigger question than nonprofit corruption: Did the FBI and federal bureaucracy use ideological organizations to shape domestic terrorism threat assessments? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down how the Southern Poverty Law Center became a case study in state power laundering, where partisan activist labels were pushed into FBI work products, training, and the broader domestic terror framework. This episode goes beyond the outrage to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, the Strategic Implementation Plan, and Action 1.1.1c created a backdoor around the Constitution. What You'll Learn: The Shadow Network: How the SPLC indictment connects to the FBI, informants, shell companies, and domestic terrorism analysis. The Case Study: Why the anti-Catholic memo revealed a much deeper pipeline between ideological nonprofits and federal agencies. State Power Laundering: How "non-governmental experts" help launder partisan narratives into official federal threat assessments. Vague Labels: Why terms like anti-government, anti-authority, extremism, hate, and misinformation can be used to target ordinary Americans. The Remedy: What Congress must do to dismantle the mechanism and stop the bureaucracy from using third parties to bypass the Fourth Amendment. This is not just about the SPLC. The SPLC is the case study. The bureaucracy is the threat. The mechanism must be dismantled.

Political violence is escalating, and the left's political violence problem can't be ignored. This episode exposes how media narratives, Democratic rhetoric, and selective data create a permission structure for violence. The latest Trump assassination attempt is not an isolated incident. Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the pattern of political violence targeting Trump, conservatives, Supreme Court justices, Republican lawmakers, and public figures, while exposing how the media deflects, manipulates data, and hides behind January 6 whenever the facts become inconvenient. What You'll Learn How the phrase "Friendly Federal Assassin" reveals the moral permission structure behind political violence  Why Obama's post after the manifesto release looked more like narrative control than unity  The partial list of assassination attempts and politically motivated attacks the media downplays  •    How datasets manipulate the "right-wing violence" narrative by excluding BLM riots, anti-ICE attacks, anti-Tesla attacks, and anti-Israel violence  Why figures like Luigi Mangione and Hasan Piker reveal a growing culture where violence is framed as moral virtue  This is not a generic "both sides" lecture. It is a deeper look at the rhetoric, data games, and moral inversion fueling America's political violence crisis.

Eleven scientists are either missing or dead, and the silence from federal agencies is becoming impossible to ignore. Retired FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill joins The P.A.S.

This episode examines why the lack of visible federal urgency raises serious national security questions and points to a deeper systemic failure. The conversation also expands into China's multi-decade theft of American technology, the SPLC's role in shaping federal narratives, and why the bureaucracy has become a "FUBAR" fourth branch of government operating without real accountability.
