• 0:00
  - We bring in the one and only Seth
• 0:02
  - Grossman who has,
• 0:04
  - plenty to talk about here on the show.
• 0:06
  - Seth, good morning. Welcome.
• 0:08
  - Good morning. And I just wanna start by
• 0:10
  - saying that,
• 0:12
  - Liberty and Prosperity meets for breakfast every Saturday
• 0:15
  - morning from 09:30 to 10:30
• 0:17
  - at Sal's Coal Fired Pizza in Somers Point.
• 0:19
  - But today is going to be a little
• 0:21
  - different. Instead of the regular breakfast where you
• 0:24
  - talk about
• 0:25
  - current events and order your breakfast off the
• 0:28
  - menu, we're having a special scholarship program,
• 0:31
  - a pancake breakfast, dollars 35,
• 0:34
  - you know, for the breakfast where most of
• 0:36
  - the money goes for the scholarship fund,
• 0:39
  - where every year we give scholarships of a
• 0:42
  - thousand dollars
• 0:44
  - to two or three students who show an
• 0:46
  - interest in Liberty and Prosperity.
• 0:48
  - And, today you'll get to meet the winning
• 0:50
  - students and they'll tell you what, brought them
• 0:52
  - into the,
• 0:54
  - competition.
• 0:55
  - It's gonna be a very different but interesting
• 0:57
  - program.
• 0:58
  - I hope you'll support us.
• 1:01
  - The second thing is, of course, I'm selling
• 1:03
  - the book,
• 1:05
  - sixteen seventy six project. By the way,
• 1:08
  - to learn more, everything is posted on libertyandprosperity.com.
• 1:12
  - But it's amazing how,
• 1:15
  - how many interesting facts, people tell me about
• 1:18
  - about when they read the
• 1:20
  - that book, sixteen seventy six project.
• 1:23
  - For example, last Sunday in Ocean City, the,
• 1:27
  - South Jersey Chorale had a concert
• 1:30
  - at the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Ocean
• 1:32
  - City.
• 1:34
  - And a couple people mentioned that they've been
• 1:36
  - going to that church
• 1:38
  - for years and they have these stained glass
• 1:40
  - windows with these personalities
• 1:43
  - like,
• 1:44
  - on the windows like King Charles and Thomas
• 1:46
  - Cranmer.
• 1:47
  - And people are telling me I never knew
• 1:49
  - who these people were on the stained glass
• 1:52
  - window of of a church I go to,
• 1:54
  - several times a year until I read your
• 1:57
  - book. Because that book explains how the personalities
• 2:00
  - on those stained glass windows
• 2:02
  - affected New Jersey.
• 2:04
  - Not to mention the fact that when you
• 2:06
  - go in Ocean City and you go down
• 2:07
  - Westley Avenue and Asbury
• 2:09
  - Avenue, many people have no idea,
• 2:12
  - you know, who those people were or why
• 2:14
  - Ocean City named its two main streets after
• 2:16
  - those people. So that's a good, reason to
• 2:19
  - get the book.
• 2:20
  - And now, you know, thanks to your program,
• 2:23
  - when I was talking about the book last
• 2:25
  - week,
• 2:26
  - the owner of a Somers Point store
• 2:28
  - called the rare book rare bird collect, collective,
• 2:32
  - said, well, can I buy your book on
• 2:34
  - consignment? And now you could buy the book
• 2:36
  - for 20 books for your $20
• 2:39
  - at the rare bird,
• 2:40
  - collective, Rowland Avenue and Shore Road in Somers
• 2:43
  - Point.
• 2:44
  - And at a store called Finds,
• 2:46
  - f I n d z, on Essex Avenue
• 2:49
  - in Margate next to the Down Beach Deli
• 2:51
  - for the same $20
• 2:52
  - You could always buy it for $25 on,
• 2:55
  - Amazon.
• 2:56
  - And of course, you could always buy it
• 2:58
  - for $20 at our Liberty and Prosperity breakfast.
• 3:01
  - Breakfast. So, there there's so much to learn
• 3:04
  - and as we keep pointing out,
• 3:06
  - a civilization
• 3:07
  - began with reading books.
• 3:09
  - You could not transmit enough information from one
• 3:12
  - generation to the other by swapping stories around
• 3:15
  - the campfire.
• 3:17
  - And people who get all their information from
• 3:19
  - watching TV,
• 3:20
  - it's just like swapping stories around the campfire.
• 3:23
  - You have to read books, and this book
• 3:25
  - is a good place to begin.
• 3:28
  - Well, you know,
• 3:29
  - it goes without saying, and eventually, we're gonna
• 3:31
  - get you on here to talk about the
• 3:33
  - book.
• 3:34
  - You you get your own segment.
• 3:37
  - Okay.
• 3:37
  - Me meanwhile, something else, a typical little known
• 3:40
  - thing. I don't know if you got one
• 3:42
  - of these,
• 3:43
  - but I did,
• 3:45
  - a couple of days ago.
• 3:46
  - A slick
• 3:47
  - brochure, almost like a political,
• 3:50
  - handout. You know, those slick, you know, two
• 3:52
  - sided sheets that do a head job? Yes.
• 3:55
  - And and I got
• 3:57
  - got one, that said, on one side, your
• 4:00
  - electric bill has never been higher.
• 4:02
  - Electricity prices are surging in The US.
• 4:05
  - And then it tells you at the bottom,
• 4:07
  - tell PJM
• 4:08
  - and NJ
• 4:09
  - utilities to take steps now to bring down
• 4:12
  - your electric bill. And then you turn it
• 4:14
  - over, and it says more clean energy means
• 4:17
  - lower electric bills.
• 4:19
  - And you may wonder what that's about.
• 4:21
  - I'm sure if I got it, I'm sure
• 4:23
  - thousands of people listening,
• 4:25
  - right now got that same slick brochure.
• 4:28
  - But I'm sure a few people took the
• 4:30
  - time to see who was sending it. It's
• 4:32
  - paid for by the Utility Action Alliance,
• 4:36
  - and that's a left wing sourced fund George
• 4:39
  - Soros funded,
• 4:41
  - Woke
• 4:42
  - political action committee in Seattle, Washington.
• 4:46
  - They mail it out of Scranton, Pennsylvania. So
• 4:48
  - people have no idea
• 4:50
  - that the slick,
• 4:52
  - flyer that they're getting now, and I'm sure
• 4:54
  - you'll be getting one every couple weeks until
• 4:57
  - election day.
• 4:58
  - Yeah. You don't know who's coming out with
• 5:00
  - it. So what they're doing is the,
• 5:04
  - woke left or the socialist communist, the democrats,
• 5:07
  - whatever you wanna call them,
• 5:09
  - they realize that the republicans
• 5:11
  - in New Jersey have lost the narrative,
• 5:15
  - on green energy and on climate change.
• 5:18
  - In other words, when Jack Ciattarelli
• 5:21
  - was running for governor, he had the perfect
• 5:24
  - opportunity
• 5:25
  - to expose the fraud of green energy.
• 5:28
  - All he had to do is say in
• 5:29
  - almost every commercial, every appearance, every
• 5:33
  - sense,
• 5:35
  - session that we have high electric bills in
• 5:38
  - New Jersey because governor Murphy shut down fixed,
• 5:41
  - oil and natural gas power plants, and he,
• 5:45
  - would not let
• 5:46
  - Beasley's point,
• 5:48
  - by,
• 5:49
  - mile post,
• 5:50
  - 28 on the Parkway to switch to natural
• 5:53
  - gas. He blocked natural gas, and that's why
• 5:56
  - we have high electric bills.
• 5:57
  - But because he didn't do that,
• 6:00
  - and and and besides losing the election, and
• 6:04
  - Ciattarelli also lost the narrative for every Republican.
• 6:07
  - So now the Democrats are are coming up
• 6:09
  - with a fake narrative. And they're saying that
• 6:11
  - your electric bills are too high because we
• 6:13
  - don't have enough wind turbines. We don't have
• 6:16
  - enough solar energy. We don't have enough
• 6:19
  - of the garbage that forced our electric rates
• 6:22
  - to go up in the first place. So
• 6:24
  - I think it's, it's important for every
• 6:26
  - person who gets one of those sick flyers
• 6:29
  - or slick flyers to realize
• 6:31
  - that this is a propaganda campaign
• 6:34
  - that is going to be used to try
• 6:36
  - to defeat,
• 6:37
  - you know, congressman Jeff Andrew in November
• 6:40
  - by saying that because
• 6:41
  - Jeff Van Drew opposed wind turbines,
• 6:44
  - that's why your electric bill is going up.
• 6:46
  - It's a totally fake narrative. It's a total
• 6:49
  - lie. But unless Republicans
• 6:51
  - start responding to those lies,
• 6:54
  - those lies will be accepted as the truth.
• 6:56
  - And I'm just giving an early warning right
• 6:58
  - now.
• 6:59
  - Well, I'll have you know that, coming up,
• 7:02
  - the last Saturday of this month,
• 7:05
  - Jeff Van Drew will be on our show,
• 7:06
  - and we certainly will address that with him
• 7:09
  - among other things.
• 7:10
  - So
• 7:11
  - and it's always a pleasure to have the
• 7:13
  - congressman Van Drew on the show. So
• 7:15
  - we're we're on that.
• 7:18
  - Very good. And I noticed that, you know,
• 7:20
  - Bob of Cape May is is a word
• 7:22
  - you say, you know, Zach Mullock, the Democrat
• 7:25
  - nominee,
• 7:26
  - is a very nice guy, a good businessman,
• 7:28
  - you know, runs a golf course in in
• 7:30
  - Cape May County, that he's gonna be a
• 7:32
  - a tough guy to beat. And, of course,
• 7:35
  - the Democrats always do it that way.
• 7:38
  - In fact, Jeff Van Drew was once in
• 7:41
  - that category.
• 7:42
  - In 2018,
• 7:43
  - he was a Democrat. And he was a
• 7:45
  - reasonable Democrat.
• 7:46
  - And he based his, his positions on the
• 7:49
  - facts.
• 7:50
  - And when he was running for,
• 7:52
  - election against me in 2018,
• 7:56
  - the Democrats heavily funded his campaign.
• 7:59
  - And, he was told
• 8:07
  - you just get elected and, we're not gonna
• 8:09
  - interfere with you.
• 8:11
  - And that's what they told him until the
• 8:13
  - day he got elected. And when Jeff Van
• 8:15
  - Drew won the election in 2018,
• 8:18
  - the first thing they told him was, well,
• 8:19
  - now you have to vote to impeach president
• 8:21
  - Trump.
• 8:22
  - Now whether you liked president Trump or didn't
• 8:25
  - like him in 2018
• 8:27
  - and 2019,
• 8:29
  - one thing we know for absolute certainty,
• 8:32
  - he did not commit any high crimes or
• 8:34
  - misdemeanors
• 8:36
  - that would justify an impeachment.
• 8:39
  - And so, Jeff Andrews said, well, you know,
• 8:41
  - thank you very much, Nancy Pelosi. But, you
• 8:43
  - know, I don't think there's evidence to impeach
• 8:45
  - president Trump. And there were 30 other moderate
• 8:49
  - Democrats in 2019
• 8:52
  - who felt the same way. And they said,
• 8:53
  - okay, Nancy Pelosi. We're not gonna go along
• 8:55
  - with that. We're not gonna vote to impeach
• 8:57
  - Trump.
• 8:58
  - Needless to say, when the pressure was put
• 9:01
  - on and all the dirty tricks,
• 9:03
  - every single so called moderate Democrat
• 9:06
  - voted to impeach president Trump even though there
• 9:09
  - was no evidence of high crimes or is
• 9:11
  - a misdemeanor.
• 9:12
  - And the only exception to those 30 moderate
• 9:15
  - democrats
• 9:16
  - was Jeff Andrew who switched to move to
• 9:18
  - from democrat to republican.
• 9:22
  - Malek, he could be a nice guy. He
• 9:24
  - could be moderate. He could run a business.
• 9:26
  - He could say whatever he wants to say
• 9:28
  - right now.
• 9:30
  - But the proof,
• 9:31
  - of what happened before is that
• 9:34
  - if he's elected, he's gonna vote exactly,
• 9:38
  - as,
• 9:39
  - Alexia,
• 9:40
  - like, you know, Cortez will vote. A where
• 9:43
  - Oh. Would vote because he will do exactly
• 9:47
  - what he's told to do. Democrats do not
• 9:49
  - tolerate any dissent
• 9:50
  - whatsoever.
• 9:51
  - And and we have to understand that when
• 9:53
  - we go to vote. Yeah. And and we
• 9:55
  - can't have that.
• 9:56
  - There's no way we can have that.
• 9:59
  - Okay. Meanwhile, something else going on. I don't
• 10:02
  - know if you follow this in Atlantic City,
• 10:04
  - but,
• 10:05
  - mayor Marty Small in Atlantic City
• 10:07
  - gave a classic demonstration
• 10:10
  - of, something that's called the theory of political
• 10:13
  - economy. Last week in fact, it's not last
• 10:16
  - week. Anyone who's listening,
• 10:18
  - if you know anyone
• 10:21
  - who is, live in Atlantic City,
• 10:23
  - who is,
• 10:24
  - completing high school this year,
• 10:27
  - they are eligible for a free $10,000
• 10:31
  - gift or a so called scholarship
• 10:34
  - because,
• 10:34
  - Atlantic City is giving out $5,810,000
• 10:38
  - dollar so called scholarships
• 10:40
  - that have nothing to do with grades, nothing
• 10:43
  - to do with academic
• 10:44
  - performance,
• 10:45
  - nothing to do with course of study, nothing
• 10:48
  - to do with financial need. If you live
• 10:51
  - in Atlantic City, if you're graduating high school,
• 10:53
  - if you're going to any college
• 10:55
  - or trade school, all you have to do
• 10:58
  - is write a two page essay,
• 11:00
  - on this topic. Quote, tell us about a
• 11:03
  - person, place, or experience in Atlantic City that
• 11:06
  - has shaped who you are,
• 11:08
  - has that influence affected the choices you make
• 11:11
  - and the person you hope to become?
• 11:13
  - So you could write anything. It's almost like
• 11:15
  - a lottery to win $10,000
• 11:17
  - and the deadline is this coming Monday.
• 11:20
  - So we have all the details posted on
• 11:22
  - the libertyandprosperity.com
• 11:24
  - website.
• 11:25
  - So why is this
• 11:27
  - a lesson in political economy?
• 11:30
  - Because,
• 11:31
  - by giving out 58, 10,000 scholarships,
• 11:35
  - that's $580,000.
• 11:38
  - This is the fourth year of the program.
• 11:41
  - During the past three years, Marty Small,
• 11:44
  - gave out,
• 11:45
  - a 100 scholarships a year, but that's a
• 11:48
  - million dollars a year.
• 11:50
  - Where's the money coming
• 11:52
  - from? From the coronavirus,
• 11:54
  - relief program. I I think they call it,
• 11:57
  - you know, something of America.
• 12:00
  - I I actually forget the name of the
• 12:02
  - brand, but it's, you know, it was a
• 12:04
  - trillion dollar,
• 12:05
  - Biden bill that was supposed to help us
• 12:08
  - recover from coronavirus.
• 12:10
  - But it's it these towns get the money.
• 12:12
  - They could do whatever they wanna do with
• 12:13
  - it. Now look at the genius of it.
• 12:16
  - Under political economy, the people who are getting
• 12:19
  - this money, the families,
• 12:21
  - will be loyal to Marty Small for life.
• 12:25
  - You know, you have now you now have
• 12:27
  - 358
• 12:29
  - families in Atlantic City that got a total
• 12:32
  - of three and a half million dollars
• 12:35
  - because of this program.
• 12:37
  - And who's going to oppose it? No one's
• 12:39
  - gonna oppose it because who's gonna make an
• 12:41
  - enemy,
• 12:43
  - over money that doesn't affect you? It's coming
• 12:45
  - from the federal government.
• 12:47
  - So, you know, there is a guy called,
• 12:50
  - Wilfredo Pareto
• 12:52
  - said this is called political economy.
• 12:54
  - And because people who get money from the
• 12:57
  - government
• 12:58
  - are greatly rewarded and highly politically active,
• 13:02
  - And because people who don't really lose anything
• 13:05
  - aren't going to care, he said democracies
• 13:08
  - become corrupt and collapse
• 13:10
  - in less than a hundred years. And the
• 13:12
  - only reason that America didn't collapse is that
• 13:15
  - for years and years, we had constitutions
• 13:18
  - that said the government couldn't just take money
• 13:20
  - from one people, one group of people, and
• 13:22
  - give it to somebody else. But now that
• 13:24
  - this is normal,
• 13:26
  - you know, this is, why things are so
• 13:28
  - corrupt and so expensive.
• 13:30
  - And for those who think it's only Democrats
• 13:32
  - like Marty Small doing it,
• 13:35
  - I was listening yesterday to
• 13:37
  - Republicans,
• 13:38
  - state senator, Vince Polestina.
• 13:41
  - He was talking about economic development.
• 13:43
  - What's economic development?
• 13:45
  - That's where you give a handful of selected
• 13:48
  - businesses
• 13:49
  - a whole bunch of money in tax credits
• 13:51
  - and low interest loans that everybody else pays
• 13:55
  - for. The people who get the benefit
• 13:57
  - are politically loyal.
• 13:59
  - The people who don't get the benefit, it's
• 14:01
  - just not worth fighting over.
• 14:03
  - Whenever you hear the words public private partnership,
• 14:07
  - whenever you hear of of words like pilot,
• 14:09
  - payment in lieu of taxes,
• 14:11
  - where some people get tax breaks paid for
• 14:13
  - by everybody else.
• 14:15
  - We see the free concerts, the free air
• 14:17
  - shows.
• 14:18
  - All this stuff is political economy,
• 14:20
  - and, it's destroying the country.
• 14:23
  - And and you're not gonna stop it because
• 14:25
  - when you see all this waste, fraud, and
• 14:26
  - abuse,
• 14:27
  - it all takes place
• 14:29
  - because,
• 14:30
  - the politicians are spending other people's money.
• 14:34
  - The only way to stop it is to
• 14:36
  - end all this stuff in the first place.
• 14:39
  - And that's what, Elon Musk tried to do,
• 14:42
  - but yet Republicans and Democrats forced them to
• 14:45
  - stop doing that. So it's something that we
• 14:47
  - have to pay attention to. And and that
• 14:50
  - leads us to the final point that, Senator
• 14:52
  - Palestine was talking about yesterday.
• 14:54
  - He was talking about how horrible it is
• 14:58
  - that senior citizens
• 15:00
  - may end up losing,
• 15:02
  - a bunch of their special,
• 15:04
  - tax breaks because the government of of,
• 15:07
  - New Jersey state government is broke. Of course,
• 15:10
  - part of the reason New Jersey, government is
• 15:12
  - broke is because we have $600,000.600000
• 15:16
  - illegal immigrants in the state who need all
• 15:18
  - sorts of money including legal fees. But here's
• 15:21
  - the bottom line.
• 15:22
  - Once you tell people
• 15:25
  - that, if you think your taxes are too
• 15:27
  - high,
• 15:28
  - don't worry about cutting the spending. Don't worry
• 15:31
  - about cutting the waste.
• 15:33
  - Just lobby your politicians
• 15:35
  - so you get a tax break and the
• 15:37
  - bill is paid for by somebody else.
• 15:40
  - That's the end of democracy,
• 15:42
  - in New Jersey.
• 15:45
  - And, you know, you heard, why are property
• 15:47
  - taxes so high? Well, because it costs $25,000
• 15:51
  - a year
• 15:52
  - to educate one student in the public schools.
• 15:55
  - You have a house with two kids in
• 15:57
  - that house, it's costing the town $50,000
• 16:01
  - a year just for that,
• 16:04
  - you know, from that one house. So, of
• 16:06
  - course, all the politicians are saying, well, let's
• 16:08
  - stop building new houses. Well, if you stop
• 16:10
  - building new houses, then young people can't afford
• 16:13
  - a house. They can't afford to get married.
• 16:14
  - They can't afford to have kids.
• 16:16
  - You're you're having one problem replaced by another.
• 16:20
  - The only way to fix the problem
• 16:22
  - is to say it's it's re absurd and
• 16:25
  - ridiculous
• 16:27
  - for us to have to spend $25,000
• 16:29
  - a year to educate one kid in a
• 16:32
  - classroom of 25 people. You know, you have
• 16:35
  - one classroom, 25 kids,
• 16:37
  - 25 times $25,000
• 16:40
  - you do the arithmetic.
• 16:42
  - But as long as long as nobody cares
• 16:44
  - whether spending is out of control because they
• 16:47
  - feel if they, you know, vote for the
• 16:49
  - right politician,
• 16:50
  - they're gonna get a break and the tax
• 16:52
  - will be paid by somebody else. We will
• 16:55
  - never address the problem.
• 16:56
  - And this is, maybe why liberty and prosperity
• 16:59
  - is not all that popular.
• 17:01
  - But if we don't deal with these real
• 17:02
  - problems, they will never get solved. Anyway,
• 17:06
  - we're not gonna talk about it today. The
• 17:09
  - breakfast for today is our scholarship breakfast, but
• 17:12
  - all these details are posted at libertyandprosperity.com.
• 17:16
  - Well, thank you very much, Seth, and we
• 17:18
  - appreciate your comments. Seth Grossman, Liberty and Prosperity.
