The Steve Gruber Show

Lots of work to do—let's get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour— Number One— The Iranian military is threatening to attack the United States as a pre-emptive move after recent comments from President Trump—I guess they didn't get the memo Number Two— Meanwhile In Venezuela, where they did get the memo—they are working to keep order following the arrest in the middle of the night of their dictator Nicolas Maduro— Number Three— It seems Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is ready to turn back the hands of time to 1861—and pit the Minnesota National Guard against federal law enforcement officers arresting illegal aliens—

Steve sits down with Lt. Steven L. Rogers (Ret.), retired police lieutenant, former Air Force & Naval Reservist, author, and Executive Director of the Association of the United States Navy, to lay out what really happened in the Minneapolis ICE shooting. Rogers separates fact from spin with his law-enforcement and military experience, and addresses Governor Tim Walz's shocking statement yesterday about sending the Minnesota National Guard to confront federal agents, a move that could be considered incitement.

Administrator Kelly Loeffler of the U.S. Small Business Administration joins the show to discuss the SBA's action on the Minnesota fraud scandal and what's ahead for small businesses in the new year. After years of red tape, regulation, and COVID-era damage, small business owners are looking for real relief. Loeffler explains how new policies, tax relief, and regulatory rollbacks are aimed at bringing small business back to life. The message is clear: small business is the backbone of this country, and it's poised to thrive again.

Joshua Philipp, senior investigative journalist for The Epoch Times, joins Steve to break down why Venezuela is the tip of a dangerous geopolitical iceberg. The capture of Nicolás Maduro exposed a narco-state fueled by oil, cocaine, communism, and foreign adversaries using chaos as a weapon. That same contempt for the rule of law is now echoing at home, from the Minnesota shooting to the reckless and legally questionable rhetoric of Governor Tim Walz suggesting the National Guard could confront federal agents.

Lots of work to do—let's get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour— Number One— It seems that President Trump has not forgotten about his desire to control Greenland—and expand the American military presence on the North Atlantic Island—saying it is the last line of defense— Number Two— Also yesterday—the President said if Democrats take back the House in the mid-terms they will waste two years running through impeachment efforts against him—its sad BUT its true— Number Three— Today I begin with a stern warning to anyone who doubts the word or resolve of President Donald J Trump: you do so at your own peril.
