The headlines say the Teamsters are suddenly flooding Republicans with cash — but the numbers tell a very different story. Grover Norquist, James Erwin, and Mike Palicz dig into the union’s decades-long role as part of the Democratic Party’s political machine and explain why this new “GOP-friendly” image is mostly smoke and mirrors.

They also unpack how federal regulators are twisting market definitions to attack America’s most successful tech companies, why a proposed patent value tax would cripple innovation, and what a second reconciliation bill could mean for pro-growth tax reforms like capital gains indexation and expanded health savings accounts.

From union politics to tax policy, this episode reveals the strategies, incentives, and hidden motives shaping the fights that impact taxpayers most.

In this episode, Grover Norquist and the team celebrate major conservative victories as President Trump signs a historic $9 billion rescissions package, completely defunding NPR and PBS for two years and cutting wasteful foreign aid programs. Plus: the IRS workforce is down 26,000 employees (25% reduction), states continue phasing out income taxes, and Trump's AI action plan embraces free market principles. We also discuss the "no tax on tips" policy impact and why rescissions are just the beginning of fiscal sanity. A must-listen for anyone who believes government should leave us alone.

In this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist is joined by Mike Palicz, Isabelle Morales, and James Erwin to break down the landmark tax reform bill that just passed Congress—and why it’s a game-changing win for taxpayers, families, small businesses, and the economy.

They cover:

• Permanent extension of Trump-era tax cuts for all income groups

• Doubling (and extending) the child tax credit and standard deduction

• Full expensing for business investment and pro-growth reforms

• Major Medicaid reform—the most significant in U.S. history

• Elimination of the “Venmo tax” and taxes on tips and overtime pay

• Expansion of Health Savings Accounts

• And why making tax policy permanent matters for prosperity and liberty

In this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist and Mike Palicz break down the latest developments on the Senate’s version of the Trump Tax Cuts. With the Senate Parliamentarian reviewing key provisions and negotiations still underway, the future of permanent Trump tax cuts and expanded HSAs remains in flux. Grover and Mike walk through what’s still in the bill, what could change, and what SALT deals could look like. They also cover why the HSA expansion matters, how blue states want federal taxpayers to subsidize their overspending, and the bigger economic implications of conservative tax reform.

Grover Norquist, Mike Palicz, James Erwin, and Andrew Gins break down the Senate's version of the Tax Cut and Spending Reduction Act. They explain the permanence of the Trump tax cuts, how Republicans are repealing Biden’s IRS reporting scheme, and why spectrum auctions and stablecoin legislation matter for the future of the economy. If you want the inside scoop on what’s really in the bill—and what comes next—this episode has you covered.

In this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist teams up with James and Mike to break down the “One Big Beautiful Bill” advancing through Congress. The bill cuts taxes across all income levels, makes the Trump tax cuts permanent, and reduces government spending by more than a trillion dollars. Later, Grover interviews Morton Blackwell, founder of the Leadership Institute, for a candid conversation about movement-building, political entrepreneurship, and the importance of training the next generation of leaders. If you want to understand how long-term conservative wins happen, not just in Congress but at the grassroots, this is the episode for you.

In this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist is joined by FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington to break down how a Republican-led FCC is preparing to slash outdated regulations—starting with legacy broadcast ownership rules and expanding to the internet itself.

Commissioner Simington explains how the FCC is using its “Delete, Delete, Delete” initiative to identify and eliminate obsolete or burdensome rules, many dating back to World War II-era broadcast policies. The conversation also covers reforms to spectrum licensing, the collapse of net neutrality, and how the FCC is preparing to lead a pro-growth agenda that expands internet access while cutting red tape.

Grover and James also open the episode with a breakdown of the "One Big, Beautiful Bill"—the latest House-passed tax cut and spending restraint package. They discuss how making the Trump tax cuts permanent and achieving $1.6 trillion in spending reductions will fuel long-term economic growth and shift the fiscal conversation away from Washington's old tax-and-spend habits.

As the House passes a major Trump tax cut package, red states across the country are driving their own taxpayer revolutions. In this episode, Grover Norquist sits down with Montana Governor Greg Gianforte to talk about how state-level tax cuts—like Montana’s march toward a flat tax—are delivering big wins for taxpayers. From repealing the death tax to defending income tax reform from local overspending, this conversation lays out a blueprint for pro-growth policy in Washington and beyond. If you care about shrinking government and expanding opportunity, this one’s for you.

What’s better than a tax cut? One that kills bad ideas before they can start. Grover Norquist leads this week’s episode with Mike Palicz and James Erwin to review what’s in—and what was kept out—of the GOP’s latest tax package. The bill locks in key pillars of the Trump tax cuts: permanent lower individual rates, a boosted standard deduction for 90% of filers, a stronger small business deduction, and critical full expensing to drive investment and growth.

Also on the win list: repealing Biden’s Venmo snooping rule before it hits taxpayers and expanding tax-free tips to both workers and independent contractors. Plus: why the media’s push for tax hikes keeps falling flat—and how this bill keeps Washington’s hands out of your wallet.
