How the Bureaucracy Became the Real Power in America

In this bonus episode, Professor Nicholas Giordano joins The American Radicals Podcast hosted by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend for a powerful conversation on the rise of bureaucratic power in America. Professor Giordano breaks down how federal agencies have expanded far beyond their constitutional limits, how Congress routinely fails to provide real oversight, and how the deep state uses vague laws and political theater to protect itself. The discussion exposes the consequences of unchecked federal law enforcement, the dangers of labeling ordinary citizens as threats, and the urgent need to reform the system with real accountability, transparency, and the power of the purse.

Episode Highlights

• How federal agencies grew into an unaccountable power center that the founding fathers warned us about.
• Why Congress refuses to challenge abusive agencies and how the Patriot Act opened the door to mass surveillance.
• What real reform looks like, including sunsetting agencies, limiting authority, and ending qualified immunity for federal agents.
