In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano tells the forgotten but urgent story of St. George Tucker, the revolutionary patriot, wounded war veteran, and constitutional scholar who warned that the Constitution would fail if Americans stopped defending its limits. From smuggling gunpowder for the Continental Army to writing the first major American commentary on the Constitution, Tucker understood that liberty is never self-enforcing. Long before the rise of the modern administrative state, he warned that power naturally consolidates, courts cannot be the sole guardians of freedom, and constitutional ignorance would be fatal to the Republic. This episode explores Tucker's life, his warnings, and why his lesson matters now more than ever.   Episode Highlights: • The remarkable life of St. George Tucker, from Revolutionary War service and battlefield wounds to becoming America's first great constitutional commentator • Why Tucker believed citizens and states, not courts or bureaucracies, are the ultimate guardians of liberty • How Tucker's warnings about consolidation of power and constitutional ignorance explain today's government overreach

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano is joined by CUNY Professor Jeffrey Lax for a candid and wide-ranging discussion on the radical transformation of the Democratic Party, the growing influence of political extremism, and the consequences for American society. They examine the rise of figures like Mamdani in New York City politics, the erosion of moderating voices, and the dangers of mayor-elect Mamdani's threat to prioritize international law over U.S. sovereignty. The conversation also tackles controversial topics such as Congresswoman Ilhan Omar who identifies as "Somali first," the media's complicity in normalizing extremist views, and why both the left and the right are struggling with radical factions. This episode is a sharp analysis of the current state of politics in America and what happens if radicalism continues to go unchallenged. Episode Highlights How the Democratic Party's leftward shift has sidelined moderates and reshaped American politics Why figures like Mamdani raise serious concerns not just for New York City but nationwide The media's role in amplifying extremist voices and the urgent need for critical political engagement

Part Three focuses on achieving true energy independence, unlocking America's rare earth mineral wealth to fuel economic revival, and restoring trust in elections through commonsense reforms that ensure transparency, accountability, and confidence in the system.

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano uncovers the forgotten story of Tench Coxe, the hidden economic architect who helped secure America's independence. From his unlikely transformation from Loyalist sympathizer to patriot strategist, to his fierce push for American manufacturing, to his powerful defense of the right to keep and bear arms, Coxe shaped the foundations of the nation far more than history remembers. His warnings about foreign economic dependence and the loss of individual self-reliance speak directly to the challenges America faces today. This compelling narrative brings Coxe's influence to life and shows why his ideas are essential for understanding the past and protecting our future. Episode Highlights: How Tench Coxe helped build the economic backbone that allowed the United States to survive and thrive Coxe's powerful defense of the Second Amendment and the role of an armed citizenry Why Coxe's warnings about dependency and national weakness are more relevant than ever today  

Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with Mary Theroux, editor of Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, to expose why billions in government spending have failed to reduce homelessness and how Housing First policies often make the crisis worse.

Mary explains why many nonprofits become corrupt when tied to endless government funding, why people sometimes die at higher rates in permanent supportive housing, and why purpose and agency matter far more than free housing. The conversation highlights successful, proven alternatives like Haven for Hope, the dangers of open-air drug markets, the collapse of mental health systems, and the urgent need for community involvement and real accountability. This is a must-listen episode for anyone who wants real solutions to one of America's most devastating problems.
