About this listen

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.
