The Iran War has exposed a growing divide between battlefield realities and the way the story is reported. Headlines suggest chaos and failure, but the facts on the ground tell a very different story.
In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano sits down with New York Post columnist and bestselling author Miranda Devine to examine how media narratives shape public perception. From the downplayed ISIS terror plot in New York City to growing concerns about sleeper cells, border security, and distorted coverage of the Iran conflict, this conversation explores the cost of a press corps that too often seems more interested in narrative than truth.

And shed this episode with three to four other people that you know I have a great guest
coming on today.
We're going to talk about a lot of what's going on in New York City.
I ran as well as the media because what I'm seeing at it, I'm just insane.
And I thought I couldn't be shocked anymore in any event.
Let me bring in Miranda Devine, Miranda author of laptop from Halus exposes a lot of corruption
within the government.
Welcome to the P.A.S. Report.
Thanks so much, Nick, great to be with you.
Well, it's always a pleasure to talk to you, pick your brain.
You wrote an article a few days ago in the New York Post about the response.
So you had two individuals, both claim that they are ISIS.
They have taken allegiance to ISIS.
They throw bombs, attempt to kill other people.
And then you see the response from the mayor and you took the mayor on, what do you though?
Let's explain to the audience this mayor.
Well, I mean, Zora Memdani is Muslim and he's very proud of being Muslim.
I would say he's more than Muslim, he's Islamist, he's certainly a Marxist.
And he doesn't seem to see himself as representing all of New Yorkers.
But only foreign-born New Yorkers who voted for him in droves, like he got the majority
of newcomers to New York or foreign-born, people who have lived here more than 10 years
did not vote for him, they voted for Cuomo.
Be that as it may, you know, he was a real test of his allegiance on Saturday afternoon
when we had this anti-Muslim protest going on outside Gracie Mansion on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
And these two ISIS sympathizers, young men, came and threw two bombs, two IEDs
in provides explosive devices like that of killed our troops all over the world,
like have been used in terrorist attacks all over the world, and they told police afterwards,
even though these bombs did not go off, that they intended to kill and maim dozens.
They wanted it to be bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing because that only got four people.
And what does Zora Memdani do in his first public statement after this attack?
He says in his first paragraph, all he does is rant about white supremacists and racism
and bigotry about the organizers of this protest, which is anti-Muslim, not necessarily white supremacist,
but he also, in fact, it wasn't even anti-Muslim, it was anti-Islamist.
I don't have any truck with the people who organized it, but, you know, get it right.
And then he finally gets around in his second paragraph to say very mildly,
violence has no place in protest, as if throwing two bombs at cops,
there were NYPD there in droves and a crowd of innocent bystanders,
throwing these two bombs there and potentially murdering dozens of people
that was just a little violence that we don't accept.
I mean, this was a terrorism attack and you could see the NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish.
She was very restrained, but her language was very pointed.
She said, let there be no confusion about what this was.
And then she goes into very great detail about this terrorist attack
by ISIS sympathizers who pledged support to ISIS, who said they wanted to be bigger than Boston Marathon
and created these devices, one of which the police have put in their complaint.
It was, had full of shrapnel, bolts and screws designed to tear human flesh
and this explosive chemical called mother-of-sation,
which has been used in terrorist attacks that have killed and maimed hundreds of people
in the West in the last decade.
And so those two ISIS sympathizers who have been arrested,
the allegation is that they set up to do maximum death and destruction to New Yorkers
and for the mayor of this city to downplay it and for the reporters,
the news agencies like the New York Times to downplay it is just ridiculous.
I mean, you can not like Donald Trump, you can be sympathetic to Zora Mamdani.
You can be a total Democrat stooge, but it's surely a bipartisan thing
to be against ISIS, bomb throwers.
It shouldn't be that hard.
And I actually find it highly disturbing.
First of all, it took Mamdani literally three attempts before he even uttered the words ISIS.
And he did focus a lot on white supremacy, but what is very concerning to me
is that people don't get radicalized overnight.
It's a long process for radicalization to occur.
But even more importantly, when you are building bombs, again,
that's not something that just happens spur the moment.
The reality is that these two individuals were not targeting this protest.
They were going to attack somewhere someplace at some point.
It just happened that this protest occurred at the same time that they were ready to go.
When you're making bombs, you have to be very careful with the substance you're using.
It takes days, weeks to be able to build something like this.
An amateur is not going to build it in 24 hours because they heard a protest.
And I don't care whether people like Jake Lang or not to me is irrelevant.
He's a provocateur word. That's how he gets attention.
But the fact of the matter is that they try and downplay Islamic terrorism
because they say the real threat is white supremacy is concerning.
But even more concerning is the media that actually goes along with it.
You had CNN put out a bulletin, basically trying to make these two figures sympathetic.
And this is similar to the Boston Marathon bombing, where the Zunev brothers
made time magazine cover and they tried to make them as if they're playboys.
What is going on in this country that you have so many people
that seem to be apathetic towards Islamic terrorism.
We're coming up on the 25th anniversary of 9-11.
Every time my aunt Donnie talks about 9-11, it's not about the attacks
and the actual victims of the attacks.
It's about him and his aunt that didn't even live here didn't take any subways.
Yeah, you're so right.
He portrays himself as a victim.
It's disgusting.
And I mean, it's also frustrating because his parents
came to the United States.
They were able to achieve the American dream.
Yeah, I think that he would be appreciative and say,
look at what America has to offer.
Look at what it did for me and my family.
We came with nothing we're successful.
Instead, all he does is bash the United States.
Well, just like Ilhan Omar, who came with her family as a refugee from Somalia
and has trying to turn America into Somalia.
And just like these two ISIS sympathizers who've been arrested
for that bomb attack in New York,
they are one of them parents came from Afghanistan.
Welcome to this country.
One came from Turkey.
Now, clearly, these people have brought with them some sort of seed of Islamism
that their kids have picked up or maybe the kids are just in a soup
of Islamist, I don't know, rhetoric in their mosques
or maybe it is just being radicalized online.
But there is a lot of it.
And we had a bit of a respite, but it's not as if we're not used to this.
We had after 9-11, we had more than a decade of just constant drum beat
of terrorist attacks around the world,
particularly in London, in Great Britain,
where they had a huge influx of Muslims who did not integrate
and carried some Islamist belief, some of them,
and enough to cause mayhem.
And I think the United States has been quite lucky not to have had
as much homegrown terrorism as, say, Australia or Canada or the UK.
And I don't know why that is.
Maybe it was because in the past the borders were better policed.
Maybe it's because there's more of integration.
Maybe it's because of the nature of the migrants
that came here from the Muslim world.
I don't know, but that seems to have changed since the Biden era
when Joe Biden just flung the borders open.
And we really don't know how many sleeper cells there are.
We know that there have been Iranian agents sent to assassinate Donald Trump
just on last week.
They there was a Pakistani man convicted in Brooklyn court
of trying to assassinate Donald Trump and other American officials.
He said he was sent on a mission to the United States to do that
by Iran, by the Iranian government, by the I.O.G.C.
So I think this is another un sort of spoken risk of the Iran war,
which is that Iran might have on the ground its military
and its navy decimated by American military might,
but they still can activate their sleeper cells around the world.
And we had in Austin, just a couple of weeks ago,
Austin, Texas, there was a gunman who opened fire
on people at a bar killing, wounding many others.
And he was wearing reportedly an undershirt
that had an Iranian flag on it
and a sweatshirt that had something about Aleor
or some other Islamist slogan.
So I think this is a real concern.
And unfortunately, because of the Biden border,
we are kind of sitting ducks.
I want to focus on that.
We're going to take quick break, but when we get back,
I want to talk to you about the amount of people
that come over to this country.
So everyone, hang tight, we'll be right back.
At Amika Insurance, we know it's not just about where you're going,
but who you go with.
That's why we work even harder to protect what matters most.

Welcome back to the PAS report podcast.
So Miranda, when we look at the last administration,
it was open borders.
There's no other way to describe it.
And I want to talk specific numbers in a minute.
I'll put out there.
But as far as Democrats as a whole,
why have they been so adamant?
And it goes well before Biden,
that the melting pot is a racist concept
that Amika must bow down to the cultures that come here.
Why did they feel it's necessary to import people
that despise the country they're coming to?
I mean, I don't understand that.
And this is a problem that's endemic
of the entire Western society
we're seeing in places like Britain,
we're seeing France, Australia, everywhere.
They're importing people that despise Western civilization.
Some of these people openly state
that they want to see the United States collapse.
They want to see the death of Western civilization.
Who would do this in their right minds?
People who hate America.
And I think it's beyond doubt
that the majority of the Democrat Party hates America.
I mean, they themselves despise our founding.
They despise the values that have made America great.
They have been brainwashed into thinking
at some sort of white supremacist imperialist project.
And you know, I think generations of Americans
were taught to be patriotic,
to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, to salute the flag.
Now the flag is a dirty word.
If you carry the flag or have the flag anywhere
emblazoned on your clothing,
you are seen as somehow, you know,
some right wing nut, some Trump supporter,
you can't be patriotic on the left.
And it's funny.
I think the Democrats are realizing
that electrically most of America's not with them on this
and that it's hurting them.
And that's why you've seen them pivot a little, you know,
with the Tim Waltzes and the, what's the name of the Virginia
Governor Abigail Spamberger and a few others
that sort of wrapped themselves in the flag Spamberger CIA,
you know, Tim Waltz.
Actually, the Democrats even described it.
So who does honestly?
They said he was coded Republican.
He was coded MAGA,
because he was supposedly a good old boy,
like, you know, a sort of a dadgy dad.
He wore camouflage.
I can't wait to be one of them.
Where does people I've ever heard?
But also far, far left and also in bed with China.
Very sinister background that guy.
He just, it rings hollow.
Anything that he says that's patriotic.
I mean, all of them.
It rings hollow because they're posing.
They're sort of avatars of what Democrats imagine
that patriotic Americans are like conservative Americans.
And they're not.
But I hope that people aren't fooled by these fake patriots,
but unfortunately, in Virginia and elsewhere,
Democrats are managing to get these people up.
Mark Kelly, I think the astronaut, former astronauts,
another one, you know, wraps himself
in his military service.
But what are the policies that they're putting forward?
They're deeply destructive to this country.
So I think it's a very dangerous time in politics and America,
because nothing is as it seems.
Well, I'm, they could even more afraid now,
because, you know, at the beginning of the semester,
I always give the citizenship exam.
And of course, at a nearly 200 students,
only a handful actually passed.
And this has been a trend that's been going on
for the last 15, 16 years that I've been in the classroom.
It's gotten to the point where students can't even
answer one or two basic questions.
It used to be they at least got five or six right now.
They're not getting any right or just one or two.
And that tells me that they know nothing about our country,
our system of governance, the American political philosophy,
and what links us together.
At the same time, they're getting this message
from the Democrats, how bad and horrible America is.
Is these people grow up?
They're going to take the positions in journalism.
They're going to become the teachers, the policy makers.
And they've been taught to dismantle the system
that they view as white supremacist, as racist, as evil.
And so it doesn't build well for our future.
When you have individuals like Abigail Spanberger,
that runs as moderate, gets elected,
and then she's far left.
But Mamdani actually was very honest about who he was.
That leads to that.
Yeah.
I'll always give him that.
He told the Americans exactly who he was.
He told New Yorkers exactly what he wanted to do.
And it is concerning.
But as far as journalists go, why is it,
they put the two ISIS individuals and sympathetic lights,
then when we look at the Iran war,
I'm seeing something we talked about Joe Biden's administration.
They led in over 1,500 Iranians that crossed the border,
border encounters.
Now, that's just the ones that they had encounters with.
That doesn't include Godaways.
Over 700, they allowed into the interior of the United States.
They issued a peer on court, and they never appeared in court.
What do you know about an FBI?
Because I'm seeing Bolton's where sleeper cells
may have been activated.
What are you hearing out there?
Nothing really.
We're not getting any reassurance,
but that doesn't mean that they're not actively working
to uncover these sleeper cells and arrest people.
And you have to say it was a pretty good operation
from the FBI with picking up this Iranian guy
that our chief merchant was his name.
He was sent by the Iranians, but was a Pakistani.
And he, I think, entered the US in 2024.
And then was subsequently arrested and tried and convicted.
So that's one down.
But I have questions about whether the Iranians
are behind other assassination attempts.
And we also know that there are journalists
and activists of Iranian dissidents
who have been targeted with kidnapping
and other murder attempts in New York City.
I mean, there's a journalist here
who's under 24-hour FBI protection
because of that in an Iranian-American journalist.
And then John Bolton, Mike Pompeo,
they were all under threat from the Iranians.
Well, and if I remember correctly,
Saudi ambassador, I think in the United States
was actually targeted by the Iranians in the United States.
Yeah, I think the Iranian intelligence
is quite sophisticated and quite plugged in.
And so we don't know the extent of their preparation
or their plans.
And I have not heard anything from the FBI, CIA,
any of those networks to say that.
But of course, that does not mean
that it's not going on at all.
You wouldn't actually want them to be telegraphing
that they are onto these people, but let's hope they are.
But we had...
Well, that's what I fear, that you've had to
Biden administration that led in so many
that we lost track of.
We have no idea where they are.
No, and it stands to reason
that that would be the case.
I mean, the terrible thing is
we're talking about anti-American Democrats
and these anti-American kind of deep status.
Well, they know that they don't want
the Republicans and the Trump Trump
and to continue on making the gains he has been.
They desperately want to win the midterms
and be able to strangle his agenda.
They desperately want to make sure
that JD Vance does not win in 2028.
It would not be out of the question
knowing their past atrocities
that they would turn a blind eye
or allow terrorist attacks to occur on home soil
because I think they would be damaging to Donald Trump.
I don't think they would help Donald Trump
during the midterms because the America people will blame...
Many of them, especially independence,
will blame Donald Trump for opening the gates of hell.
They will say, under Biden,
there were no terrorist home-grown terrorist attacks.
Suddenly, Donald Trump attacks Iran and look what happens.
So I think that's kind of a part from,
I think the oil prices they'll get under control,
but I think domestic terror is a big...
I mean, apart from being terrible for all of us,
I mean, you and I live in New York City,
it's concerning, but apart from that politically,
I think it could be very damaging
and could be leveraged by the other side.
Well, I agree with you.
I think we're late years away from 9-11
when we had a massive terror attack
in the United Americans rather than push us further apart.
But I do believe that if anything does happen,
that Donald Trump and the Republicans would get the blame,
despite Democrats keeping the Department of Homeland Security
not funded and closed down.
So it is ironic that way.
But when we look at the media,
I want to take quick break.
And then when we get back,
I want to look at the headlines that exist
when it comes to Iran because the numbers that I'm seeing
don't match the headlines that I'm seeing.
So everyone, hang tight, and we'll be right back.
At Amika Insurance, we know it's not just about where you're going.
But who you go with?
That's why we work even harder to protect what matters most.
And as a mutual insurance company,
we're built for our customers and prioritize your needs.
Amika, empathy is our best policy.
Visit Amika.com and get a quote today.
And Miranda, when it comes to the war in Iran,
I'm looking at the numbers.
And I'm seeing the Iranian Navy get decimated.
I'm seeing that the Iranian missile stockpiles
are being depleted.
They're being destroyed.
It's getting very difficult for Iran to launch off ballistic missiles.
I'm seeing the proxy networks not really doing much.
Many of them are limited in their capabilities of what they can do.
And when I look at the headlines from the media, though,
you would think almost as if Iran's winning this thing.
That Iran's playing the long game.
Iran's delaying that Iran's taking advantage
because Donald Trump is too stupid
and you shouldn't have launched this war.
What's going on between the headlines and what we're witnessing?
Yeah, I mean, I think it's just classic Trump derangement.
It doesn't matter what he does.
He can cure cancer, he can walk on water.
And they will still portray him as Satan.
And the criticism is coming from the very same people
that have been banging the war drum, total war mongers.
So you can't win, obviously.
And you're right, it's all Iranian propaganda
from the likes of the New York Times.
They just look at the glass half empty all the time.
They're just concentrating, oh, you know,
the IOTOL is Sarn has just been named the new supreme leader
and he's worse than the IOTOL,
a Trump's medical worse without mentioning.
And they showed a picture of crowds gathering from 2020.
They said all these people from Tehran came out to celebrate,
but the picture of the image they used was actually 2020.
So dishonest and so typical, just so typical.
I just listened to Carolyn Levin at a press conference.
And you know, just to hammer it over and over
about the school in Iran that was hit.
And you know, was it Americans or was it someone else's,
Tomahawk?
And you know, there's an investigation going on.
If it was American, Tomahawk, obviously it was a big mistake
and America does not target schools.
But that's all they care about.
It's just finding some negativity.
It's the inverse of what happened
during the Biden administration
with the soft soaping of the Afghanistan pullout, et cetera.
And I think, you know, I think ultimately the American people
are over, you know, they kind of see through the propaganda.
And as they did in 2024, when they voted in Donald Trump.
And I think it's like the boy who cries wolf,
the New York Times, Washington Post, et cetera.
They lie so much and demonized Donald Trump so much
that they now not believe will everyone
take it with the grain of salt.
But you know, you think they could at least find room
there to say, well, the entire Iranian navy
is in the bottom of the ocean.
To just, you know, carry that they've been 5,000 sites
have been hammered.
And they've gone after the missile launching capabilities
and nuclear capabilities.
And I don't know what the full truth of it is, the fog of war.
But certainly the Iranians were hellbent
on pursuing the ability to have nuclear weapons
that would strike America.
And so we don't want that coming anywhere near us.
And honestly, I doubt whether there's
any president that we're going to have or have had
that's going to be as equipped to do it,
and determine to do it, and bulleted enough,
and uncontrollable enough to do it,
and not get bogged down in a quagmire as Donald Trump.
The fact that a matter is he laid out
four strategic objectives, and it's not regime change.
And I think that's one of the most important aspects.
We're not nation building.
We want to say who they're obviously
Trump wants to say who their government is,
who's going to lead that country.
But we're not going to try and remake it
in the image of the United States
as that hasn't gone well in Iraq, Afghanistan,
or anywhere else we tried.
It's been a disaster.
But there is a lot at stake.
And listen, anyone could, there's a lot of controversy
with this war, right?
Was it necessary should Trump have gone in?
And I understand the debates.
Does Congress, they're the ones
with the war-making abilities, Article 1, Section 8?
And I do believe those debates are relevant,
but the fact that matter is we are there now.
And there is so much at stake.
Like if Trump is successful,
it could benefit us geopolitically.
If he fails, it's going to be a catastrophic disaster
for us, especially on the heels of Joe Biden's
barched Afghanistan withdrawal, it will be a disaster.
Does the press not see it?
Did they not care?
Because it's almost as if they're like rooting on Iran.
Yeah.
Oh, they're rooting for disaster.
I mean, Hakeem Jeffries said from the podium,
he said, we're going to lose this war,
like with relish.
That's what they want.
And look, I think already you've seen
the might of American power, military strength.
I think that, and also the willingness to use it.
And I think that gives pause to our enemies,
to China, to Russia.
And it just makes everybody wake up and realize
that America really is the big dog on the national stage,
on the international stage.
So, you know, we're weak, we're projecting weakness
with Biden and the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
We almost needed some way of regaining face.
And that's happened.
And as you know, just like it gangster world,
face is everything when you're talking about people
like Putin and people like Xi.
So, Donald Trump understands that world.
And he's projecting strength, which is respected.
So, I think already that's good.
And obviously you regret the loss of life
and the fact that we've had now seven US service members
killed is tragic and they're heroes
and they, you know, died, did not die in vain.
They died for a good cause because at the very least,
even if Donald Trump stops everything today,
we have severely regressed Iran's ability
to attack us and attack our allies.
Well, our allies, that's an interesting way to put it
because in this day in age we have to ask
who our allies are.
You want to make a comment about Kier Stimer,
the Prime Minister over in Britain and of the Rift
between the United States and Britain?
Well, I mean, it's just appalling that Kier Stimer
of all people, such a weak and ineffectual leftist leader,
should undo all the blood and treasure
that the UK has expended over many decades
in being an ally of America in, you know,
going toe-to-toe with America in all forms of combat
in battlegrounds all over the world.
You know, I think Donald Trump has done his best
to have good relations with Kier Stimer
and for that weakness and cowardice
at the beginning of the Iran War
to deny the US at that base in Diego Garcia
that we would normally land on is just unbelievable.
And then, you know, why?
Well, it's not like America doesn't need the oil
that's going through the homu's strait.
The UK needs it, Europe needs it.
Other countries need it that we don't like.
But, and so why aren't there?
Why didn't he mobilize UK battleships?
What's left of their terrible navy?
They want mighty navy to go there,
to steam over there and assist the US.
Instead, it's the US that's having to protect their ships,
you know, international ships
going through that strait, bringing oil.
I think it's reprehensible.
And for that, if for nothing else,
Kier Stimer should be tossed out on his ear.
And it's easier to do that in the UK than is in America
because the party can just change leaders at the drop of a hat.
But it's the Labour Party
and they're like the Democrats on steroids.
So I think we can forget about that.
He's not popular, but the problem is just like in Australia
and I think in Canada, there's nobody in the opposition.
On the conservative side of politics, there's nobody.
The people are just as conservative, Australian people
and I assume the British people,
just as conservative as everyday Americans
and want the same things and want close borders
and want, you know, don't believe in the green scam.
But unfortunately, the conservative side of politics
in those countries has been newsured.
And I think that would have happened in the United States
if it hadn't been for Donald Trump.
In fact, it was the case for many years
with the Republican Party.
They were just, you know, bent over backwards
to be bipartisan with the left.
And in spite of-
The Republicans believe they're working
with 1990s Democrats still.
Well, and also, I don't think they care.
You just, you look at the Senate today.
They can be under the Uniparty with refusing to,
to John Thune refusing to lose a bit of skin
to get the Save America Act for voter identification,
voter integrity over the line
that Donald Trump has said should be their number one priority.
He couldn't be clearer.
And John Thune just says, oh, I've got the votes for it.
Put your neck on the line, John Thune.
These Republicans stand up and be counted.
And they, they really, you know,
they're not being America first.
They're just being anti-Trump.
But they're also not being politically smart.
Like, even if a bill is going to fail,
get the Democrats on record voting no
and then use that as campaign against them.
And even that he won't do.
But I do have to ask you one final question.
As someone that's a journalist,
as someone that believes that journalism
is about seeking the truth,
that journalism is about holding government accountable
and journalism exists to protect people,
allow people to exercise their liberties.
How concerned are you with the Western world,
the curtailing of free speech,
the going after the press?
How worried are you?
I very worried.
I mean, America has its first amendment.
And so that protects our speech here
more so than anywhere else.
But you're looking across the West
and the veil of censorship has fallen hard.
And there seems no understanding in places like Australia,
Canada, the UK, Europe,
about the importance of free speech
as the bulwark for freedom.
In the United States, even with the first amendment,
was censorship crashed down on us
during the Biden administration in a terrible way
that the Supreme Court sort of arrested
with the Missouri versus Biden case
that then is now gone back and is being re-litigated.
But at least you had the Supreme Court,
it's going to the Supreme Court,
so over to a high court, at least said that,
that you know, you cannot have the government colluding
with these big tech platforms to silence American speech.
Just that's inconvenient to the government,
which happened in the Biden administration,
whether it was censoring speech about COVID,
about lockdowns, about the efficacy of the vaccine,
about Hunter Biden's laptop, you name it.
There were a lot of inconvenient American speech
that people were censored for.
But at least in America,
we're not being locked up for it yet.
That's happening in the UK.
I mean, you write a tweet that they don't agree with,
and you'll go to jail.
It's not a joke.
It's not anybody for it.
We have the British flag, you're going to jail,
if they said that it's too insane other people.
Yeah, exactly.
And look, we are the same forces are here.
And the first amendment, the Constitution,
is here to protect America.
But there are a lot of anti-constitutional forces
in this country, and the Democrats
want to overtake the Supreme Court and pack it.
And that's one of the reasons they want to do that,
so that they can have a whole lot of ketangie brown
injections who just make up the law as they go along.
