Why the FBI Remains Broken Despite Trump, Patel & Bongino Steve Friend returns to expose how the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism became the federal government’s playbook for targeting ordinary Americans. Nick Giordano and Friend break down the disturbing lack of reform inside the FBI, even with President Trump, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino now in charge. Has the unelected bureaucracy grown more powerful than the presidency?

Who’s to Blame for America’s Collapsing Infrastructure and Broken Trade Policy? 34:43

3 days ago34:43

34:43

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. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.
