Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, joins The Steve Gruber Show to break down the latest federal government shutdown. With New York Senator Chuck Schumer pushing for a politically charged shutdown to appease his voter base, Norquist explains the dynamics at play, including how Senate Democrats like Catherine Cortez Masto, John Fetterman, and Independent Angus King crossed party lines to support the Republican funding bill.

With decades of experience navigating government shutdowns, Norquist offers insight into the risks, stakes, and consequences for both parties, shedding light on what’s really driving the 2025 shutdown and what it means for taxpayers.
