The Steve Gruber Show

Steve sits down with Hans A. von Spakovsky, national legal expert, to unpack a fascinating and controversial development in Washington, D.C.: how a local advocacy group known as “Free DC” has emerged as a prominent face of anti-Trump resistance in the nation’s capital, pushing back against federal involvement in local affairs under President Trump’s second term. Von Spakovsky offers his legal perspective on what this movement represents, how grassroots political activism interacts with federal authority and the rule of law, and why understanding groups like Free DC matters to every American watching national politics unfold.

Steve sits down with Michael Pack, director and producer of The Last 600 Meters and president of Manifold Productions and Palladium Pictures, to discuss reports that President Trump ordered U.S. strikes against ISIS targets in Nigeria following brutal attacks on Christians. Pack explains why the persecution of Christians overseas often goes ignored, what decisive leadership looks like in the face of terrorism, and why America’s willingness to confront evil still matters. As Trump warns there will be “hell to pay” for ISIS fighters targeting innocent believers, this conversation focuses on faith, national security, and the moral responsibility to defend the defenseless.

Steve sits down with State Representative James DeSana (R-Carleton) of Michigan’s 29th District to discuss the launch of the Michigan DOGE Task Force Initiative, a new, legislator-led effort aimed at cutting waste, boosting transparency, and restoring accountability in state government. Chaired by DeSana, the task force will focus on identifying inefficiencies, reducing bureaucracy, and making sure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. DeSana explains why Michiganders are demanding better results from Lansing, how this homegrown initiative differs from national efforts, and why putting the public back in charge is key to rebuilding trust in government.

Steve sits down with Jason Hayes, Director of Energy and Environment at the America First Policy Institute, to expose how state agency overreach is harming Michigan’s farms, small businesses, and job creators. Hayes breaks down how unelected bureaucrats are using environmental and energy regulations to bypass lawmakers, drive up costs, and make it harder for families to farm, build, and grow businesses in the Great Lakes State. It’s a clear-eyed conversation about accountability, local control, and restoring common sense to policies that should serve the people, not suffocate them.
