Kathy Schmaltz | Record School Funding: Breaking Down the Budget

State Rep. Kathy Schmaltz joins the show to talk about Michigan’s new state budget, which delivers record funding for local schools. She breaks down where the money’s going, how it’ll impact classrooms, and what it means for parents, teachers, and students across her district. It’s a look at how Lansing is spending your tax dollars, and whether it’s really making a difference for Michigan families.

Ivey Gruber | 83-Year-Old Elk Hunter & The Fight for Fair Grading

Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, joins the show for a fun and wide-ranging conversation, from an 83-year-old Michigan woman who shot and processed her own elk (life goals!) to an Egyptian wrestler pulling trains with his teeth, proving that real strength comes in all forms.

Then, they shift gears to something less inspiring: “equity grading” in schools, and why it’s a ridiculous idea that punishes excellence and rewards mediocrity.

A mix of grit, laughter, and common sense, this one’s classic Ivey & Steve.

Steve Gruber | Bari Weiss named Editor-in-Chief of CBS

Lots of work to do—lets get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour—

 

Number One— The government shutdown is dragging on—I learned from some of my TSA friends in Virginia—they have not missed a check yet—the next one is due Friday and it should be only a bit lower than normal—I will tell you why—

 

Number Two— In yet another shocking revelation you will hear almost nothing about anywhere else—The FBI is now admitting that under the Biden Administration—they openly spied on a dozen Republican Senators—we will take a deep dive on this today— 

 

Number Three— The reason you will not hear about this spying anywhere else? Because the majority of the big players in media are left of center, hate President Trump and Republicans and are just as happy to call people like me White Supremacists, Nazis and of course fascists—because in the absence of a coherent or cohesive argument—they focus on name calling and smearing—BUT maybe, just maybe that is going to change!!!

Steve Gruber | More Proof of Dems Weaponizing Government to Target Opponents

Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—

 

Number One— The markets are up—crypto currency is up and gold is up—which is good for most Americans—but how long can it last? AND if it turns how bad could it be?

 

Number Two— A judges oceanside mansion burns to the ground—and Democrats are calling it right-wing violence—BEFORE we even know what happened—this is how you create actual political violence—

 

Number Three— More proof today that the Biden Administration used every conceivable tool to weaponize the government against its political opponents—the latest revelation—12 Republicans—including 11 US Senators were spied on during the January 6^th investigation—can you imagine if JUST ONE Democrat was spied on ever?!?

Larry Behrens | Trump Ends the Green New Scam

Larry Behrens, energy expert and Communications Director for Power The Future, joins Steve to break down President Trump’s move to end the so-called “Green New Scam”, a sweeping reversal of Biden-era green energy mandates and subsidies.

Behrens explains what this decision really means for American workers, the economy, and energy independence, and why Democrats are falsely crying “politics” over a policy shift that could finally bring accountability to billions in taxpayer-funded green projects.

They dive into how the radical climate agenda has enriched political insiders, burdened working families, and weakened America’s power grid, and why Trump’s rollback might just be the reset our energy sector needs.

Reven Holdings | The SEC Fight That Froze a Miracle Drug

Three leaders from Reven Holdings, Brian Denomme (President/COO), Peter Lange (CEO), and Michael Volk (Chief Strategy & Compliance Officer), join Steve to discuss the latest major legal development in their ongoing fight with the SEC over the frozen assets of their once-promising drug, RJX.

A federal judge has refused to dismiss Reven’s lawsuit, instead demanding more clarity on whether the SEC’s sweeping asset freeze, which halted all company operations and research, amounts to an unconstitutional government “taking.” The ruling could have billions of dollars in implications and potentially reshape how far federal agencies can go in enforcement actions.

The Reven team shares their side of the story, how a “miracle drug” meant to save lives was stopped cold, what’s next in court, and what this fight means for innovation, investors, and patients nationwide.

Scot Bertram | Liberals Support the Attacks on Conservatives

Monday, October 6, 2025—

 

—Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President Trump says negotiations are underway on his Gaza peace proposal. Trump says he thinks the hostages will start being freed very soon.  He said he's hearing the talks are going well and will probably last several days. 

 

Two ---  Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says the Trump administration is making Chicago a war zone over its immigration crackdown.  The governor's comments come as President Trump has authorized 300 National Guard members to Chicago. And on the same weekend that ICE agents were targeted by protesters in Chicago.

And number three ---    Former NFL quarterback and Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez remains hospitalized and is facing charges after a stabbing Saturday in downtown Indianapolis.  Police say Sanchez was stabbed during a physical altercation with another man.  He was arrested at the hospital on charges of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication.

Sam Raus, recent University of Miami graduate and David Boaz Resident Writing Fellow with Young Voices, joins The Steve Gruber Show to break down the looming government shutdown crisis and its real-world consequences.

Andrew Langer | Freight Railroad Merger & America First

Andrew Langer, Director of the CPAC Foundation’s Center for Regulatory Freedom, joins The Steve Gruber Show to explain why conservatives are backing the freight railroad merger and how they believe it will fuel Trump’s America First agenda. Langer breaks down the economic and regulatory benefits of the merger, why it matters for U.S. manufacturing and supply chains, and how this move aligns with a broader vision of strengthening American industry and jobs.

Scot Bertram | Chicago refuses to help ICE agents under attack by protestors

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President Trump is appealing a judge's order that blocked his deployment of troops to Oregon.  A federal judge on Saturday granted a temporary restraining order against the administration that would stop National Guard troops from being deployed outside of an ICE facility in Portland.  The judge ruled a trial court would likely find that Trump overstepped his authority. 

 

Two ---  House Speaker Mike Johnson says Democratic lawmakers clearly are to blame for the government shutdown.  Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Johnson said the reason the government is closed is because Chuck Schumer and 43 other Democrats have voted multiple times to keep it closed. Top Republicans on Capitol Hill are vowing not to cave in to Democrats' demands.

And number three ---    Two teenage girls are dead in what the NYPD believes was due to subway surfing in New York City.  Local news reports say it happened around 3 a.m. Saturday in Brooklyn.  Police say first responders found the two teenagers unconscious at the station and performed CPR but were unable to resuscitate them.  Police are still investigating the exact cause of death. 

 

Wayne Morrow | Trump-Backed Missouri Map Could Shift Congress

Wayne Morrow, CEO of the John Birch Society, joins The Steve Gruber Show to discuss the political implications of the Trump-backed map victory in Missouri. Morrow breaks down how this win could spark redistricting battles in other key states, and why former President Trump is calling the new congressional plan “fantastic” as Republicans aim to expand their razor-thin House majority. He also shares insight into the strategy behind redistricting and its impact on American politics in the 2026 midterms.

Philip Wegmann | Government Shutdown & Israel/Gaza Update

Philip Wegmann of RealClearPolitics joins The Steve Gruber Show to break down the latest political headlines, including the ongoing government shutdown and the escalating situation in Israel and Gaza. Wegmann shares his analysis on the causes and consequences of the shutdown, Washington gridlock, and the international implications of the Middle East conflict, providing viewers with context on how these events impact both American politics and global stability.

Kurt Couchman | Shutdown Drags On, Budget Reform Needed Now

Kurt Couchman, Senior Fiscal Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity and one of Capitol Hill’s leading voices on budget reform, joins The Steve Gruber Show to break down the ongoing government shutdown, what’s causing the gridlock, how long it could last, and what real fiscal reforms are needed to prevent this cycle from repeating. Couchman explains why Washington keeps failing to pass responsible budgets, what a smarter spending framework could look like, and how taxpayers end up paying the price for political dysfunction.

Scot Bertram | Democrats Embrace the Shutdown

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — Secretary of State Marco Rubio says speed is of the essence for a deal to end the war in Gaza.  Appearing on ABC's "This Week", Rubio said this is not something that can continue to drag out.  His comments come as President Trump is sending special envoys to the Middle East to try to seal his hostage release deal.  Both Israel and Hamas have indicated support for the proposal, but with conditions that still need to be negotiated. 

 

Two ---  A federal judge is stopping the Trump administration from sending members of the  National Guard to the streets of Portland, Oregon.  U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut granted the motion for a temporary restraining order filed by the state of California on Sunday night.  The motion stopped the deployment of up to 300 members of the California National Guard to Portland. No word on how that might affect plans to send the National Guard to Chicago.

And number three ---   The new Michigan state budget cuts 18-hundred full-time jobs, but Governor Gretchen Whitmer says no layoffs will happen.  Most of the job cuts are from Michigan State Police, the Michigan Department of Corrections, and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The openings likely will come from attrition and eliminating current unfilled roles.

Michael Webber | MDHHS Failed to Protect Psychiatric Patients

Michigan State Senator Michael Webber (R-9th District) joins The Steve Gruber Show to break down the newly passed state budget, what he supports, what he doesn’t, and where Michigan needs stronger fiscal responsibility. Webber also calls out the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, after a recent state audit exposed serious failures to protect psychiatric patient rights. He explains what the audit revealed, why accountability matters, and how Lansing must fix a system that’s putting vulnerable patients at risk.

Monty Bennett | When Leadership Fails: Chicago’s Police Refusal to Help Feds

Monty Bennett, CEO of Ashford Inc., philanthropist, and chairman of two major hotel REITs, joins The Steve Gruber Show to react to shocking reports out of Chicago, where police were allegedly told not to assist federal agentsunder attack. An internal dispatch reportedly shows a patrol chief refusing to send help as agents were rammed and surrounded by armed mobs. Bennett and Gruber discuss what this says about law enforcement leadership, public safety, and the growing breakdown of order in America’s big cities, and why local politics are failing those on the front lines.
