In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano welcomes Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Robert George, co-authors of the new book Truth Matters: A Dialogue on Fruitful Disagreement in an Age of Division. As the country faces unprecedented polarization, AI-driven misinformation, and the erosion of intellectual curiosity, West and George offer a powerful roadmap for restoring civil discourse and truth-seeking. Drawing on decades of friendship despite ideological differences, they explore how Americans can navigate political disagreements without destroying relationships. This episode is for those committed to reviving the foundations of a free and open society.

Episode Highlights:
• How friendship rooted in mutual respect can thrive across deep political divides
• Why the education system has abandoned truth-seeking and how we can fix it
