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.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We’re joined by Grover Norquist from Americans for Tax Reform to talk about the looming government shutdown and the deeper political dynamics unfolding in Washington. Norquist breaks down the current state of play, highlighting the Republican-led House’s push for a two-month continuing resolution to maintain flat spending levels, while Senate Democrats appear poised to block it in pursuit of major increases in spending. He explains how this political standoff may impact federal funding, especially if Democrats refuse to cooperate without adding $1.5 trillion in new expenditures. Norquist also critiques Democratic leadership for what he sees as a willingness to shut down the government for political leverage. He compares the moment to a chaotic scene from Animal House, where futile actions are embraced. For more on these budget battles and fiscal policy, Norquist encourages listeners to visit ATR.org and follow him on Twitter at @GroverNorquist. It's a fast-moving story with high stakes in D.C.

One of the most powerful Republicans in the country has been called a teddy bear. Grover Norquist, the head of the activist group Americans for Tax Reform, certainly doesn't come across as an anarcho-capitalist power player. Recently, Norquist has waged a vendetta against “traitors” in the White House — staffers who are reportedly considering raising taxes on the rich, which may include Vice President J.D. Vance, and the architect of Trump's first presidential campaign, Steve Bannon.On the finale of “Tax Revolt,” senior podcast producer Arjun Singh sits down with Norquist to understand: Is the antitax movement's grip on the Republican party as strong as ever?Want more?

There's a civil war happening inside the MAGA coalition, and unless you're really in the weeds, you probably haven't heard much about it. It's not being covered seriously, either by the traditional media or the independent press. And that's a shame — because it pits two foundational visions of conservatism against each other. On one side, you have Grover Norquist and his ironclad “no new taxes” pledge. On the other, you have Steve Bannon and his populist charge to eat the rich.Norquist has spent decades making sure no Republican dares raise taxes. His philosophy is clear: low taxes are good for everyone, rich or poor, and raising them is political suicide. He's survived every GOP iteration — from neocon war hawks to MAGA populists — by keeping that line firm. But now, Trump's “one big, beautiful bill” may include a tax hike on the wealthy. Norquist is sounding the alarm, warning that breaking this promise would be as foolish as George H.W. Bush's infamous “read my lips” moment.Meanwhile, Bannon doesn't just want to raise taxes — he wants to send a message. He sees MAGA as a working-class movement, and taxing the rich is part of proving that Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and the GOP's old donor class no longer control the party. It's the clearest philosophical fault line we've seen on the right in years. If the GOP embraces even a modest tax hike on the wealthy, it could mark the end of a Reagan-era consensus that has defined Republican politics for half a century.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.And yet, barely anyone is talking about it. Not because it isn't interesting, not because it isn't important, but because media — mainstream and independent — is stuck on one setting: “trouble for Trump.” It's a framing device. Every Trump story must either confirm that he's a danger to democracy or a bumbling fool. Anything else? Not interesting enough to cover.Steve Bannon, who's all over mainstream shows like Real Time with Bill Maher and Stephen A. Smith's podcast, is out here advocating a radical repositioning of the Republican tax platform — and the headlines are all about whether Trump should run for a third term. And I get it, that's the clickier angle. But it's also lazy. We're watching tectonic plates shift, and we're still playing with bumper stickers.That's not just a mainstream media problem, by the way. It's an independent media problem too. There are great voices on Substack and elsewhere that have done real work to break free from traditional narratives. And yet, over the last few weeks, I've seen far too much content boil down to one question: “Is this an outrage? Yes or no?” And when the answer is always “yes,” you're not informing anymore — you're reinforcing.My goal isn't to register my opinion on every current thing. My goal is to give you something that still feels relevant five years from now. Something you can remember discovering here before it hit the mainstream. I'm not always going to say the thing that fits into someone's ideological slot. That's going to disappoint people sometimes. I get that. But I hope the tradeoff is worth it. Because if you're giving me your time and maybe even your money, I owe you something rare. Something original.Something honest.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:58 - MAGA's Secret Civil War00:19:35 - Update00:21:05 - Signalgate 2.000:27:14 - Pope Francis00:30:51 - Student Loan Debt Collection00:34:50 - Interview with Dave Leventhal01:13:34 - Canadian Election with Evan Scrimshaw01:27:11 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.
