   How Trump Accounts Could Turn a Generation of Kids Into Owners

   What if every American kid grew up with an investment account and a real stake in the U.S. economy? Grover Norquist sits down with Matt Lira, Executive Director of Invest America, to discuss Trump Accounts, the new investment accounts for American children, and how they could introduce a generation of kids to saving, investing, stock ownership, and long-term wealth building. Lira explains how Trump Accounts work, including the $1,000 federal contribution for eligible newborns, tax-free employer contributions, private ownership, and how parents, grandparents, employers, and philanthropists can contribute to a child's account. But the conversation goes far beyond personal finance. Norquist and Lira explore whether owning stock can change how young Americans see the economy, why ownership matters, and what happens when people gain new forms of economic freedom and opportunity. They also discuss a new model for philanthropy, major commitments from business leaders, and the story of how Trump Accounts became law. Lira takes listeners behind the scenes of the effort, including the roles of President Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz, Michael Dell, Brad Gerstner, and other lawmakers and business leaders who helped move the idea forward. Could Trump Accounts turn millions of American kids into lifelong investors and owners? And could that change more than their bank accounts?

   The Hidden Tax You Never See: How Regulations Raise Prices

   What do federal regulations really cost American families? In this episode of the Leave Us Alone podcast, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist sits down with Kent Lassman, President & CEO of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, to examine the hidden costs of the federal regulatory state. While taxes are easy to see, regulations quietly raise the price of nearly everything Americans buy, from housing and banking to transportation and everyday consumer goods. Lassman explains how federal regulations function as a hidden tax on families, why those costs are often overlooked, and how excessive regulation stifles innovation and economic growth. The conversation also explores the history of deregulation, the incentives that allow regulatory burdens to grow over time, and why meaningful reform requires both policymakers and taxpayers to understand the true cost of government intervention.
