8.22.26 Seth Grossman WPG Radio. Richard Somers Day on Sept. 4, “Reparations” in Quaker NJ?, $40 Trillion Debt, Eternal Life through Jihad · Seth Grossman – Liberty and Prosperity

• 0:00
  - Seth Grossman, Liberty and Prosperity, talking about Richard
• 0:02
  - Summers and, many other things. Richard Summers died
• 0:06
  - in,
• 0:07
  - Tripoli on September fourth
• 0:09
  - of eighteen o four in America's first foreign
• 0:12
  - war,
• 0:14
  - against,
• 0:15
  - people who were doing the same thing to
• 0:17
  - Americans that, the Iranians and the,
• 0:20
  - Islamic terrorists have been doing for two hundred
• 0:23
  - years.
• 0:25
  - That, we celebrate how Richard Summers
• 0:28
  - made a sacrifice, him and the crew of
• 0:30
  - the intrepid
• 0:31
  - and him and the marines who went to
• 0:33
  - the shores of Tripoli.
• 0:35
  - What those Americans did,
• 0:37
  - in eighteen o four kept Americans
• 0:40
  - safe around the world for a hundred and
• 0:42
  - fifty years. And the only reason that we
• 0:44
  - have the terrorism and the, problems we have
• 0:47
  - today is that Americans stopped doing,
• 0:50
  - what Richard Sommer and those brave Americans did
• 0:53
  - in eighteen o four. So we have to
• 0:54
  - learn that lesson.
• 0:56
  - And to tell you the truth, if you
• 0:57
  - had a choice of remembering
• 0:59
  - two events,
• 1:01
  - Richard Summers,
• 1:03
  - and the intrepid of, September fourth of eighteen
• 1:06
  - o four
• 1:07
  - or having a ceremony to
• 1:10
  - remember,
• 1:11
  - 09/11/2001.
• 1:14
  - I would say you withdraw a lot more
• 1:17
  - useful lessons
• 1:18
  - from the from,
• 1:20
  - knowing about September 4
• 1:22
  - and Richard
• 1:23
  - Summers than about knowing that America was attacked,
• 1:27
  - on 09/11/2001,
• 1:29
  - but having no idea who it was who
• 1:31
  - attacked us,
• 1:32
  - why they attacked us, or what we have
• 1:34
  - to do to stop them attacking us again.
• 1:36
  - And all those questions are answered when you
• 1:39
  - understand the story of Richard Summers.
• 1:42
  - You know, I had never heard of Richard
• 1:43
  - Summers until you came along,
• 1:46
  - which I guess a lot of people are
• 1:48
  - are in the same boat.
• 1:51
  - Absolutely. But yet every American knew.
• 1:54
  - Every American school child, you know, who passed
• 1:57
  - the fourth or fifth grade knew about Richard
• 1:59
  - Summers
• 2:00
  - before
• 2:01
  - 1940.
• 2:02
  - And then suddenly, our education
• 2:04
  - changed,
• 2:05
  - the way we taught kids in public school.
• 2:07
  - And of course most people don't know anything
• 2:09
  - about Richard Summers. Most people don't know, anything
• 2:13
  - about half the people in my,
• 2:15
  - 1676
• 2:17
  - project history book. But yet every American knew
• 2:20
  - about them, you know, sixty, seventy years ago.
• 2:23
  - So that's why it's so important to know
• 2:25
  - the history.
• 2:26
  - Because,
• 2:27
  - you know, if you don't know the history,
• 2:29
  - I mean let's let's face it. Right now,
• 2:32
  - I guess governor Mikey Sherrill and and and
• 2:35
  - the legislature,
• 2:36
  - they're talking about the plan to have reparations,
• 2:40
  - that that make, people in New Jersey
• 2:43
  - pay reparations for slavery that existed,
• 2:47
  - you know, two hundred years ago or a
• 2:49
  - hundred and fifty years ago.
• 2:51
  - And, I'm trying to think how how many
• 2:53
  - years ago. Let's see from a 1860.
• 2:56
  - Yeah. So so basically a 100 and, you
• 2:59
  - know, sixty or seventy years ago,
• 3:02
  - to make Americans today pay reparations for slavery.
• 3:06
  - But it's it's even more outrageous when you
• 3:08
  - realized
• 3:09
  - that when America was founded, slavery was normal
• 3:12
  - throughout the world.
• 3:14
  - And, it was Americans, it was Christians. It
• 3:17
  - was the British
• 3:18
  - who ended slavery, ended something that had been
• 3:21
  - going on for, like, two thousand years.
• 3:23
  - And the center of the movement to end
• 3:25
  - slavery was right here in South Jersey.
• 3:28
  - So to make people in South Jersey,
• 3:31
  - you know, pay for something that we put
• 3:32
  - an end to, it's ludicrous. But, again, nobody
• 3:36
  - knows because they don't know the history. It's
• 3:38
  - not being taught in schools. They're being taught
• 3:39
  - a fake history.
• 3:41
  - And that's why my book I I hate
• 3:42
  - to keep plugging my book, sixteen seventy six
• 3:45
  - project, but that's why it's so important.
• 3:48
  - And, you're gonna talk about the, Richard Summers
• 3:51
  - event. Correct?
• 3:52
  - Well, not not today. I think we have
• 3:54
  - plenty of content to talk about.
• 3:56
  - I do wanna, talk about, you know, Donald
• 4:00
  - Trump, President Trump because you're correct
• 4:02
  - that if you've been watching MSNBC
• 4:05
  - or CNN or reading the Philadelphia Inquirer or
• 4:07
  - any of the Democrat media,
• 4:10
  - that's all they're talking about is,
• 4:13
  - you know, president Trump enriching himself from insider
• 4:15
  - trading.
• 4:16
  - And that's, you know, that's what they're focused
• 4:19
  - on. But if you have been looking at
• 4:21
  - the conservative
• 4:23
  - republican comments
• 4:25
  - on,
• 4:26
  - on on media such as on x, on
• 4:28
  - Facebook,
• 4:29
  - on YouTube, and that, the focus has been
• 4:32
  - on the fact that it was announced a
• 4:34
  - couple days ago that the total government debt
• 4:37
  - federal government debt in America is now $40,000,000,000,000.
• 4:42
  - That's 40,000
• 4:44
  - billion dollars.
• 4:46
  - And I talked about it, last week,
• 4:49
  - but this is a fundamental
• 4:51
  - disaster.
• 4:52
  - You simply cannot defend
• 4:54
  - America,
• 4:56
  - and free enterprise against communist, socialist, Muslims, or
• 4:59
  - anybody else when you screw up an economy
• 5:03
  - this bad.
• 5:04
  - And we also cannot deny
• 5:07
  - that of the $40,000,000,000,000
• 5:09
  - in debt,
• 5:10
  - 10,000,000,000,000 of it, that's one fourth of all
• 5:13
  - the debt America has,
• 5:15
  - came from the eight years
• 5:18
  - president Trump has been in office, and he
• 5:20
  - still has two more years to go.
• 5:23
  - And you can't blame the Democrats for this
• 5:25
  - because president Trump could have stopped it.
• 5:29
  - He had Elon Musk on board. Elon Musk
• 5:32
  - identified
• 5:34
  - each and every area
• 5:36
  - specifically,
• 5:37
  - where money was being either stolen
• 5:40
  - or wasted or spent on stuff the government
• 5:43
  - has no business,
• 5:44
  - spending money on.
• 5:46
  - And what did, Trump do? Trump started with
• 5:48
  - the swamp and got rid of Elon Musk.
• 5:52
  - So you can't blame the Democrats for that.
• 5:54
  - And really, you can't blame Congress for that
• 5:57
  - because just the mat you know, just look
• 5:59
  - at where this money is going,
• 6:01
  - for,
• 6:02
  - today.
• 6:04
  - The press of Atlantic City said the federal
• 6:06
  - funds are paying for a tennis court in
• 6:08
  - Atlantic City.
• 6:10
  - Federal funds, gave $5,000,000
• 6:13
  - to fix the boardwalk in Wildwood.
• 6:15
  - Federal funds paid
• 6:17
  - the Atlantic Avenue in,
• 6:19
  - Atlantic City and Atlantic Avenue in Margate Longford.
• 6:24
  - Federal funds paid for West Avenue in Ocean
• 6:26
  - City and federal funds fixed the Margate elephant.
• 6:29
  - Federal funds pump pump
• 6:31
  - stands on the beaches in Ocean City and
• 6:33
  - Strathmere.
• 6:35
  - And federal funds gave $10,000
• 6:37
  - to 52 lucky families in Atlantic City. It
• 6:40
  - goes on and on and on.
• 6:43
  - And you can't expect
• 6:45
  - congressman Jeff Andrew to say, no. I'm not
• 6:47
  - I'm not gonna, support this
• 6:49
  - because if he did, he'd be,
• 6:52
  - he'd he'd have about as much chance of
• 6:54
  - getting elected to something as me.
• 6:57
  - And and then if you look at all
• 6:58
  - this money that we're spending just in our
• 7:00
  - district,
• 7:01
  - remember that there are,
• 7:04
  - 435
• 7:05
  - members of congress, and each of them are
• 7:08
  - getting the same kind of stuff for their
• 7:10
  - district that we're getting.
• 7:11
  - So the only person who could possibly put
• 7:14
  - an end to this is the president.
• 7:17
  - And not only is the president not doing
• 7:19
  - anything about it, not talking about it,
• 7:22
  - but all the candidates he's endorsing.
• 7:25
  - Like, Byron Daniels
• 7:27
  - or or Byron Donald in Florida.
• 7:29
  - Like Lindsey Graham's sister in South Carolina.
• 7:33
  - Almost all of his endorsements are a part
• 7:35
  - of the same swamp
• 7:37
  - that is doing this.
• 7:39
  - And,
• 7:39
  - this is not going to end well. And
• 7:42
  - if we're, you know, I I guess I'm
• 7:44
  - thinking of what,
• 7:45
  - that Republican,
• 7:47
  - president Warren Harding said many years ago. He
• 7:50
  - said my enemies
• 7:51
  - my enemies, I could lick them any day
• 7:53
  - of the week.
• 7:54
  - But my friends, my blankety blank friends, they're
• 7:57
  - the ones who keep me walking the floors
• 7:59
  - at night. So that's what I think of
• 8:01
  - when I'm watching what's going on right now.
• 8:04
  - Yeah. It's a problem. That's for sure.
• 8:06
  - And and nobody
• 8:08
  - wants to deal with it at that which
• 8:10
  - I don't understand, you know.
• 8:12
  - Yeah. You you don't deal with it. And
• 8:14
  - again, just imagine that bar game where you're
• 8:16
  - you're playing that game, and I I think
• 8:18
  - they call it pick up sticks. I forget
• 8:20
  - where
• 8:21
  - everybody, you know, you take a stick and
• 8:23
  - you put it on the pile and then
• 8:24
  - someone else puts a stick on the pile.
• 8:26
  - And of course, the person who loses the
• 8:28
  - game and has to buy drinks for everybody
• 8:30
  - is that last person puts that last stick
• 8:33
  - on the pile and the whole pile falls
• 8:35
  - apart. So we don't know when it's gonna
• 8:37
  - happen or how it's gonna happen or what's
• 8:39
  - gonna trigger it, but you know that if
• 8:42
  - you spend
• 8:43
  - a trillion dollars a year more than you
• 8:45
  - take in,
• 8:47
  - at some point,
• 8:49
  - the money is gonna be worthless. You're gonna
• 8:51
  - wanna buy goods from other countries. They're not
• 8:53
  - gonna wanna sell it to you unless they
• 8:54
  - get real money or or gold.
• 8:57
  - And
• 8:58
  - you know everything is more expensive and then
• 9:00
  - when you try to you know buy real
• 9:03
  - estate, you try to buy stocks, you try
• 9:05
  - to buy gold. So that at least your
• 9:07
  - investment
• 9:08
  - won't be worth will will
• 9:10
  - just keep the same value.
• 9:12
  - You get taxed at capital gains tax. You
• 9:15
  - know, just for trying to, you know, tread
• 9:16
  - water and be where you are. And, you
• 9:18
  - know, this is not sustainable, but,
• 9:21
  - we'll we'll we'll talk about that on another
• 9:23
  - day.
• 9:24
  - I I I feel I have to go
• 9:26
  - back
• 9:27
  - to what we talked about,
• 9:29
  - last week,
• 9:31
  - about,
• 9:32
  - you know, moderate Muslims.
• 9:34
  - You,
• 9:35
  - you mentioned last week that we have a
• 9:37
  - conservative listener who who's a Muslim,
• 9:39
  - And he was upset because we never talked
• 9:42
  - about
• 9:43
  - the great majority of Muslims who are
• 9:47
  - moderate and peaceful and and follow the law.
• 9:50
  - And and how come we never talk about
• 9:52
  - them?
• 9:54
  - But but here's it it was in the
• 9:55
  - news today. What was the top of the
• 9:57
  - hour news story today?
• 9:59
  - You had, a woman,
• 10:01
  - 35 year old woman in New York,
• 10:04
  - and then suddenly she converts to Islam.
• 10:07
  - And what's the first thing she does?
• 10:10
  - She decides to to make a plan to
• 10:12
  - kill people.
• 10:13
  - Buys bomb making material and makes a plan
• 10:16
  - to,
• 10:17
  - dress herself up as a food service worker
• 10:19
  - and kill a whole lot of people at
• 10:20
  - the State House in Albany, New York.
• 10:24
  - And and I and and then we have
• 10:25
  - to ask, well, why is that happening? How
• 10:27
  - many Muslim moderate leaders
• 10:30
  - have you heard of in the last
• 10:32
  - couple days saying, oh, no. You know, we're
• 10:35
  - a peaceful religion. Why would anybody even think
• 10:38
  - that if you convert to be to become
• 10:40
  - a Muslim, you would do a horrible thing
• 10:42
  - like that? Have you heard any announcement from
• 10:44
  - any local, national, or,
• 10:46
  - any Muslim religious leader at all in the
• 10:49
  - last couple days. No. Did you? No. No.
• 10:51
  - Yeah.
• 10:52
  - And and and here's the other thing. You
• 10:54
  - know, I you you talk you asked me
• 10:56
  - to talk about last week, and I figured
• 10:57
  - I gave a a steep plus answer.
• 11:00
  - But I think here's a better, answer to
• 11:02
  - explain the problem with moderate Muslims.
• 11:05
  - The fact is that most people
• 11:07
  - don't think much about religion in their day
• 11:10
  - to day life.
• 11:11
  - You know, they treat people fairly. They try
• 11:14
  - to do the right thing.
• 11:16
  - People mostly, whether you're Jewish, whether you're Christian,
• 11:18
  - Hindu, Buddhist, or Muslim,
• 11:20
  - you turn to religion when things are not
• 11:22
  - going well.
• 11:23
  - Somebody dies. Somebody is sick.
• 11:26
  - You have loss. You have failure.
• 11:28
  - The world seems hopeless. You can't stand on
• 11:30
  - your
• 11:31
  - own. So you turn to religion.
• 11:33
  - And again, if you turn to, Judaism, you'll
• 11:36
  - be taught to, you know, follow the,
• 11:40
  - God's laws in the Bible and and ask
• 11:42
  - for God's forgiveness. Christians will turn to Jesus.
• 11:46
  - But if you're a down and out Muslim,
• 11:49
  - if especially if you're a young man,
• 11:51
  - your girlfriend dumped you, you lost your job,
• 11:54
  - you flunked out of school, your parents hate
• 11:56
  - you, you've made a total mess of your
• 11:58
  - life and you're only 20 years old. What
• 11:59
  - can you possibly do to
• 12:03
  - wipe away your mistakes and your sin
• 12:05
  - and redeem yourself and and have honor respect
• 12:08
  - and eternal life?
• 12:10
  - Well every single
• 12:13
  - Muslim,
• 12:14
  - Imam,
• 12:16
  - will tell a young person that there's only
• 12:18
  - in the Islamic religion, there's only one sure
• 12:21
  - way
• 12:22
  - to to get forgiven for your sins and
• 12:24
  - go to heaven. I mean, there are many
• 12:26
  - difficult ways,
• 12:28
  - but there's only one sure instant way and
• 12:30
  - that is to die
• 12:32
  - while engaged in Jihad which means killing non
• 12:35
  - believers.
• 12:37
  - And,
• 12:38
  - that this is not an extremist
• 12:40
  - belief.
• 12:41
  - You could talk to any moderate Muslim including
• 12:43
  - your friends who's probably listening right now.
• 12:46
  - They will will you go
• 12:48
  - publicly and say that that's not true?
• 12:51
  - That that you that the
• 12:53
  - you don't get instantly forgiven of sins for
• 12:55
  - killing non believers in the jihad?
• 12:58
  - And and how is it that you get,
• 13:00
  - permission to do a jihad?
• 13:02
  - Well, any Islamic state has the authority
• 13:05
  - to to issue what's called a fatwa, a
• 13:08
  - ruling saying that, I declared Jihad therefore any
• 13:11
  - person
• 13:12
  - who kills any non believer for any reason,
• 13:15
  - just has to pledge loyalty to the Islamic
• 13:17
  - State and you qualify
• 13:19
  - for this instant redemption.
• 13:21
  - And as long as you have that,
• 13:24
  - how can you live in a normal country
• 13:26
  - where,
• 13:27
  - you have people who could do this to
• 13:29
  - you and your family at any time? And
• 13:32
  - and that's the real problem.
• 13:34
  - Yeah. It is. It is.
• 13:36
  - And, you know, we don't hear
• 13:38
  - about,
• 13:39
  - as I said, the man who the young
• 13:41
  - man who called, we don't hear about that
• 13:43
  - kind of stuff. You know? We we just
• 13:45
  - we just hear about all the killings, you
• 13:47
  - know.
• 13:47
  - Right. And and if that young man who
• 13:50
  - privately talked to you about it, if he
• 13:52
  - would publicly say, I'm a moderate Muslim and
• 13:55
  - I denounce
• 13:56
  - any Muslim who who believes that, you are
• 13:59
  - instantly
• 14:00
  - non
• 14:02
  - believer, you know, for jihad.
• 14:05
  - And I and and I'd
• 14:07
  - say that none of these imams have the
• 14:09
  - authority
• 14:09
  - to declare jihad. If he would publicly say
• 14:11
  - that,
• 14:12
  - his life would not be very pleasant.
• 14:15
  - And, and that's an un and and that's,
• 14:17
  - you know, fear is such a big part
• 14:19
  - of that religion.
• 14:21
  - And and you cannot have a free open
• 14:23
  - society
• 14:25
  - where people are afraid.
• 14:27
  - And unfortunately, most of the world has been
• 14:29
  - like that most of the time, but America
• 14:32
  - and Western civilization have been different. We have
• 14:35
  - protected the individual.
• 14:36
  - We recognize,
• 14:38
  - you know, the self evident truth. We're all
• 14:40
  - entitled to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.
• 14:43
  - But most of the world has never had
• 14:45
  - that most of the time and that's why,
• 14:48
  - you know, America is worth defending. We are
• 14:50
  - the only civilization ever
• 14:52
  - that has made this normal.
• 14:54
  - And, if we don't watch out, it's it's
• 14:56
  - gonna be not very normal here. Here. Anyway,
• 14:59
  - the it's just a final thought,
• 15:02
  - about,
• 15:03
  - you know, which I I actually wanted to
• 15:05
  - become my main point but I'll just touch
• 15:07
  - on it. Thank you. Is,
• 15:09
  - look at all the time that we
• 15:11
  - waste you know, in political shows talking about
• 15:14
  - is,
• 15:15
  - a data center a good thing or a
• 15:17
  - bad thing?
• 15:18
  - You know, is the hotel in Ocean City
• 15:20
  - a good thing or a bad thing? Is
• 15:22
  - building 18 new townhouses in Egg Harbor Township
• 15:25
  - a good thing or a bad thing?
• 15:27
  - And, it used to be in America that,
• 15:30
  - you know, Americans never wasted time talking about
• 15:32
  - this stuff
• 15:33
  - because we understood
• 15:35
  - that when it comes to economics,
• 15:37
  - if somebody wants to buy land
• 15:39
  - and spend their money to build a data
• 15:41
  - center
• 15:42
  - and pay for the electricity and pay for
• 15:44
  - the water and not bother anybody else around
• 15:47
  - them, that would not be a political issue.
• 15:50
  - It would be a business issue. And if
• 15:52
  - they succeeded, we'd all benefit.
• 15:54
  - And if it failed, you know, only the
• 15:56
  - people who invest their money would fail. That
• 15:58
  - was free enterprise. Same thing with the hotel
• 16:01
  - in Ocean City. The same thing with the
• 16:03
  - houses in Egg Harbor Township.
• 16:05
  - When people say, oh, we can't build new
• 16:07
  - houses in Egg Harbor Township
• 16:09
  - because,
• 16:10
  - they may have kids and those kids will
• 16:12
  - go to school and and that'll raise our
• 16:14
  - taxes.
• 16:15
  - Well, that's not, a housing problem. That's because
• 16:18
  - our schools are costing too much money. So
• 16:20
  - talk about how we could cut the cost
• 16:21
  - of public schools.
• 16:23
  - And because if you say we're not gonna
• 16:24
  - allow anyone to build houses or new houses,
• 16:27
  - now we have a whole generation of young
• 16:28
  - people who can't afford to buy houses and
• 16:31
  - they're living with mom and dad, and that's
• 16:32
  - causing a whole bunch of problems. No one's
• 16:34
  - getting married. No one's having kids. But anyway,
• 16:37
  - this is the type of stuff that Liberty
• 16:39
  - and Prosperity talks about in person,
• 16:41
  - every Saturday morning at Sal's Coal Fired Pizza,
• 16:44
  - 09:30 to 10:30. And if you're hearing this
• 16:46
  - program on a Saturday, I'm on my way
• 16:49
  - there right now. Okay. Have a good weekend.
• 16:52
