The latest jobs report shows 172,000 private sector jobs added while the federal workforce shrinks by 327,000. Congress delivers a net discretionary spending cut, CBO projects stronger GDP growth, and Washington debates credit card interest rate caps and price controls.

Grover Norquist, James Erwin, and Mike Palicz break down job growth, federal spending cuts, tax reform, Medicaid savings, and why price controls historically lead to shortages.

Ronald Reagan's legacy continues to shape American politics, economic policy, and national security.

In this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist is joined by David Trulio, President and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, and Rachel Loren of the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project for a wide-ranging conversation on Reagan's enduring principles and why they remain relevant today.

The discussion explores Reagan's role in restoring economic growth, winning the Cold War, and rebuilding American confidence. It also looks at how the Reagan Library, Institute, and Legacy Project are working to teach younger generations about limited government, free enterprise, peace through strength, and individual liberty.

This episode is about leadership, ideas, and why freedom must be taught and defended by every generation.

In this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist sits down with former U.S. Senator Phil Gramm for a wide-ranging conversation on tax policy, economic growth, and the role of government in shaping economic outcomes.

The discussion spans the stagflation and economic crisis of the late 1970s, Gramm's role in passing the Reagan tax cuts, and the long-term effects of those reforms on inflation, growth, and opportunity. The episode also examines welfare spending, poverty statistics, and claims about economic inequality.

Gramm explains how government benefits are often excluded from official income measurements, why those accounting choices matter, and how they influence debates over taxes, spending, and federal policy.

The conversation concludes with a look at state-level tax reforms and why fiscal discipline and honest measurement remain central to long-term economic growth.

On this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist is joined by Mike Palicz and Isabelle Marchese to break down one of the most consequential votes of this Congress.

Seventeen House Republicans joined with ALL Congressional Democrats to pass a clean three-year extension of enhanced Obamacare subsidies. The panel explains how this vote expands Obamacare, masks its rising costs, and knowingly continues a program riddled with fraud and improper payments.

They discuss the real cost of the subsidies, the political maneuvering behind the discharge petition, the failure to include any reforms or anti-fraud measures, and what this vote means as the bill heads to the Senate. The episode closes with a broader discussion of Republican principles, political accountability, and the pro-growth tax reforms already delivering higher wages and larger tax refunds.

The Taxpayer Protection Pledge is a written commitment taken by candidates and elected officials promising never to raise taxes.

In this episode, Grover Norquist explains why the pledge was created, who signs it, and how it changed incentives for politicians at every level of government. From the 1986 Tax Reform Act to presidential campaigns and state tax reform, the pledge became a clear contract between officeholders and taxpayers.

By forcing politicians to control their own vote rather than rely on vague promises, the Taxpayer Protection Pledge reshaped elections, restrained tax hikes, and helped define which party voters could trust on taxes.

The real political divide in America is not left versus right.

It is the Leave Us Alone Coalition versus the Takings Coalition.

In this episode of Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist explains how these two coalitions compete over tax policy, spending, and the size of government. The discussion breaks down who belongs to each coalition, why the Takings Coalition constantly pushes for higher taxes, and why the Leave Us Alone Coalition must stay united to protect taxpayers.

This episode explains politics the way it actually works, through incentives, not slogans.

This week on Leave Us Alone, Grover Norquist is joined by Mike Palicz and James Erwin for a brief discussion on rising healthcare costs, Obamacare affordability, and end-of-year battles in Washington.

The episode then features a special guest interview with House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN), who explains what the Republican Whip actually does. Emmer breaks down his role counting votes, communicating with House members, and helping move legislation across the House floor in today's political environment.

The conversation also covers the failures of the Affordable Care Act, including widespread fraud in expanded Obamacare subsidies and how those subsidies funnel taxpayer dollars to insurance companies rather than patients. Emmer discusses making the Trump tax cuts permanent, fights over must-pass legislation like the NDAA, and why he signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge to protect taxpayers from higher taxes and runaway government spending.

Grover Norquist and Mike Palicz break down how the next reconciliation package is being shaped by the failures of Obamacare, including a new GAO report exposing widespread fraud and improper subsidies. They outline why expanding Obamacare subsidies would be a mistake, what Republicans should prioritize in reconciliation, and why tariffs must stay out. The episode also features a special interview with economist Steve Moore, who explains how ending the taxation of inflation through capital gains indexing could be one of the biggest pro-growth moves available today.
