The Steve Gruber Show

Steve sits down with Congressman Tim Walberg, who represents Michigan’s Fifth Congressional District, to discuss his vote to modernize America’s broken permitting process, a move supporters say is key to lowering energy costs and strengthening domestic energy production. As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Education and the Workforce Committee, Walberg explains how excessive federal red tape has driven up prices for families and businesses, slowed critical infrastructure projects, and weakened U.S. energy independence. A timely conversation about restoring common sense, protecting jobs, and putting Michigan families first.

Steve sits down with Tory Bruno, CEO of United Launch Alliance, for a sobering look at what many experts now warn could be the next battlefield: outer space. As America relies more than ever on satellites for defense, communications, navigation, and daily life, Bruno explains how a war in space could unfold, the growing threats from adversaries like China and Russia, and why protecting U.S. space assets is critical to national security. It’s a fascinating and eye-opening conversation on why space dominance matters, not for science fiction, but for America’s safety, strength, and future.

Steve sits down with Steve Dulan, professor and licensed attorney, for a clear-eyed legal breakdown of Red Flag Laws and what they mean for constitutional rights. As these laws spread across the country, Dulan explains how they work, where serious due-process concerns arise, and why critics warn they can punish law-abiding citizens without proper safeguards. It’s a must-hear conversation on the balance between public safety, personal liberty, and the role of government, especially for families who value the Constitution and common-sense justice.

Congressman Jack Bergman, representing Michigan’s 1st Congressional District, weighs in on escalating actions against Venezuela’s regime, which President Trump has labeled a foreign terrorist organization. Bergman discusses the U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan “ghost ship,” strikes against drug-running boats, and the ongoing fight to stop fentanyl and other deadly narcotics from reaching American communities. He pushes back on criticism from the left, noting that U.S. interdiction of drug vessels is nothing new, pointing out that legislation authorizing these actions dates back decades, including measures authored by Democrats like Chuck Schumer. The conversation also turns to issues impacting everyday Americans, including healthcare challenges and gas prices, and why strong leadership matters both at home and abroad.

David McIntosh, attorney, former U.S. Congressman (IA-2), co-founder of the Federalist Society, and President of the Club for Growth, joins the discussion on what’s behind America’s affordability challenges. McIntosh highlights how Club for Growth economists and leaders have been calling on Republicans to focus on kitchen-table economic issues like cost of living and affordability heading into the 2026 election cycle, noting that voters consistently weigh economic concerns above all else and want real, pro-growth solutions. Drawing on his long record advocating limited government, lower taxes, regulatory relief, and free-market reforms, he explains how high prices for housing, healthcare, energy, and essentials have squeezed families, and why policy matters when it comes to wages, prices, and overall economic freedom

Ralph Rebandt, pastor of a Farmington Hills church, joins the conversation as he officially enters the race for Michigan governor. Rebandt shares his thoughts on the growing Dana Nessel controversy, saying it reflects a deeper problem with accountability and ethics in state government. He also explains what he believes sets him apart as a candidate, a background rooted in faith, service, leadership, and real-world problem solving, not politics-as-usual. Rebandt makes the case that Michigan needs moral clarity, transparency, and common-sense leadership to restore trust and move the state forward.

Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute, takes a hard look at the growing costs of the electric vehicle push. He explains how Ford’s EV experiment has resulted in roughly $20 billion in losses, while GM’s leadership continues to double down on costly EV investments despite weakening demand. Isaac argues that government mandates and ideological energy policies are forcing automakers into risky decisions that threaten jobs, affordability, and consumer choice, and warns that ignoring market reality could have serious consequences for America’s auto industry and energy future.

Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, joins Steve for a lively conversation that covers everything from over-the-top Christmas gift ideas, yes, even a Ferrari, to the Powerball jackpot climbing past a billion dollars. They talk about the incredible good lottery winnings could do, the serious downsides that often follow sudden wealth, and the big question: what would you do with that kind of money? The discussion also turns to a gripping real-life story of an experienced hiker trapped in quicksand for more than two hours in frigid conditions, sparking a conversation about survival, preparedness, and how quickly things can go wrong.

Number Three— The left is going to get us killed. That’s what I’ve learned from this last week – whether it's the massacre at Bondi Beach in Australia – or the attack at Brown University – or the terrorist plot that was planned for L.A. on New Year’s Eve but was thankfully thwarted by our FBI.

Number Two— As we announced late in the program yesterday—the FBI according to its own field office in Washington DC never had probable cause to raid Mar-A-Lago—but political pressure prevailed and they were forced to do it anyway—

Kevin Kijewski, Birmingham attorney and Republican candidate for Michigan Attorney General, weighs in on major accountability issues facing the state. Kijewski discusses emails that have come to light showing Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel contacted Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson regarding an investigation involving Nessel’s wife. According to new evidence, the request to pull back the investigation was followed, raising grave concerns about abuse of authority, conflicts of interest, and unequal justice. He argues that if the law is not applied evenly, especially by the state’s top law enforcement official, it undermines public trust and may rise to the level of impeachable conduct.
