I recently sat down with Norquist for a little more than an hour for the latest episode of The Ezra Klein Show. (You can listen to our discussion by subscribing to my podcast or streaming it on SoundCloud.) Among the topics we touched on:

How Norquist came up with his “no tax” pledge as a 12-year-old coming home on the bus

Norquist’s time in Angola and Mozambique helping anti-communist rebels

Whether the rise of Donald Trump shows the Republican base isn’t quite as committed to small government and low taxes as conservatives hoped.

Why Norquist thinks Silicon Valley will eventually turn Republican, and what he’s doing to make it happen

The maximum percentage of GDP that the US government can spend effectively, according to Norquist
