## Resource

Weaponized Government is not just about politics. It is about the Left's capture of America's institutions and the quiet destruction of self-government. New York Post reporter and editorial board member Seth Barron joins The P.A.S. Report Podcast to discuss his new book, Weaponized: The Left's Capture and Destruction of America's Sacred Institutions . Barron exposes how citizenship, policing, housing, and education have been transformed from institutions that serve the people into tools used to centralize power, weaken local control, and impose a radical political agenda on ordinary Americans. What You'll Learn How the Left blurred the line between citizen and non-citizen to weaken the meaning of American citizenship Why "Defund the Police" was never just bad policy, but part of a larger strategy to transform public safety How housing policy, density, YIMBY, and "walkable cities" are being used to attack suburbs and local control Why teachers' unions became one of the most powerful forces in leftist politics and school indoctrination Whether America's captured institutions can be reclaimed before the damage becomes permanent From open borders and public safety to education and housing, this episode breaks down how America's sacred institutions became weaponized and what citizens must understand before it is too late. 📲 Subscribe, listen, and share The P.A.S.
