• 0:00
  - The leadership of our Republican Party here in
• 0:02
  - New Jersey, awful. What kind of leadership we
• 0:05
  - want at the top? And and what I'm
• 0:07
  - talking about is our state senator, Republican Vince
• 0:10
  - Paulistina.
• 0:11
  - He was on Harry Hurley's program for an
• 0:13
  - hour for an interview.
• 0:15
  - All he did was show how completely out
• 0:17
  - of touch he is with everything that is
• 0:20
  - important to the folks at at Liberty and
• 0:22
  - Prosperity,
• 0:23
  - day after day. We're talking about the
• 0:26
  - crisis with teenage crime,
• 0:30
  - especially in the inner cities.
• 0:32
  - You have two people killed,
• 0:34
  - last month just trying to drive to breakfast
• 0:37
  - because
• 0:38
  - a bunch of teenagers stole a car in
• 0:40
  - Longport.
• 0:41
  - We're driving around at about fifty, sixty miles
• 0:43
  - an hour in the wrong lane, hit somebody
• 0:45
  - head on. And now no one's gonna be
• 0:47
  - accountable for it because it now appears that
• 0:50
  - the, you know, the ringleader of this crime
• 0:53
  - guy was was 18.
• 0:55
  - He started in crime when he was 14
• 0:57
  - and 15, long criminal record. He had a
• 1:00
  - bunch of teenagers under the age of 18
• 1:03
  - go with him. And now they're saying, well,
• 1:04
  - we don't know who was behind the wheel.
• 1:06
  - Well, you know, they're all gonna say it
• 1:08
  - was somebody who is 14 years old behind
• 1:10
  - the wheel because they know there'll be no
• 1:12
  - consequences for a 14 year old kid. So
• 1:15
  - we have to completely change the way we
• 1:17
  - look at juvenile crime. We have to completely
• 1:20
  - start building more juvenile jails. We maybe even
• 1:22
  - have to, for the long term, consider, you
• 1:24
  - know, reviewing the whole welfare system and getting
• 1:27
  - orphanages back. But that's a crisis. And Vince
• 1:30
  - Palestine didn't say one word about any of
• 1:32
  - this. All he was talking about is is
• 1:34
  - so called redevelopment, where we have to have,
• 1:37
  - you know, not just private,
• 1:39
  - business people start businesses, but we have to
• 1:42
  - have the economic development authority
• 1:45
  - work with Lanacare, work with, Stockton College, and
• 1:48
  - and the government's gonna build all this development
• 1:50
  - in Atlantic City. That hotel in Atlantic City
• 1:53
  - is going out of business. The Sheraton.
• 1:55
  - The Sheraton.
• 1:56
  - Now why is the Sheraton going out of
• 1:58
  - business? Well, it's in the middle of nowhere.
• 2:00
  - It's not near the beach. It's not near
• 2:02
  - the casinos. It's inconvenient.
• 2:04
  - And why did they stick the charigan in
• 2:06
  - the middle of nowhere?
• 2:08
  - Well, it all started with, our former senator
• 2:11
  - Bill Gormley
• 2:12
  - when, he decided to, you know, Convention Hall
• 2:15
  - used to be on a boardwalk by the
• 2:16
  - hotels, by the beach, by the main transportation.
• 2:31
  - Nowhere. And when both of those projects are
• 2:32
  - failures, he says, well, we're gonna have a
• 2:32
  - tax on free parking. And
• 2:33
  - failures,
• 2:34
  - he
• 2:35
  - says, well, we're gonna have a tax on
• 2:37
  - free parking to pay for a corridor
• 2:39
  - to connect the convention center in the train
• 2:41
  - station in the middle of nowhere
• 2:43
  - to the boardwalk. And that's why they built
• 2:45
  - those,
• 2:46
  - those shopping outlets, which failed because they were
• 2:47
  - in in the middle of nowhere and they're
• 2:47
  - which
• 2:49
  - failed because they were in in the middle
• 2:50
  - of nowhere. And then they get the all
• 2:52
  - these, government programs to put a hotel to
• 2:55
  - Sheridan in the middle of nowhere. So all
• 2:58
  - these things are failures
• 2:59
  - because they were done by the government,
• 3:02
  - with no sense
• 3:03
  - of attracting customers with no consequences for making
• 3:07
  - bad decisions.
• 3:08
  - Because if a private business owner makes a
• 3:10
  - bad decision,
• 3:11
  - he loses money.
• 3:12
  - These people never lose money because they pay
• 3:15
  - for their failures
• 3:16
  - by putting
• 3:18
  - extra taxes on successful businesses. And what you
• 3:20
  - end up with? Fewer successes and more failures.
• 3:23
  - But for the long term, we have to
• 3:25
  - ask ourselves, how can we complain about mom
• 3:28
  - Donnie in New York doing socialism?
• 3:30
  - Okay. If all we see in Atlanta County
• 3:33
  - is is our Republican officials are pushing
• 3:35
  - socialism, and that's what it is. When the
• 3:38
  - government builds every business
• 3:40
  - and when it doesn't matter whether it succeeds
• 3:43
  - or fails because all the people involved make
• 3:45
  - big profits anyway,
• 3:47
  - that is classic socialism,
• 3:49
  - and it's killing America.
• 3:50
  - And we've gotta wake up to it and
• 3:52
  - stop it. Seth Grossman, Liberty and Prosperity. Libertyandprosperity.com
• 3:56
  - is the website.
• 3:57
  - There's so much stress at the airport.
• 4:12
  - Didn't mess with. That's why the the flights
• 4:14
  - are frequent, the fares are cheap, and because
• 4:17
  - everybody is using them,
• 4:19
  - airports are crowded. Of course, there's a workaround
• 4:21
  - to that. The Philadelphia Airport, Newark Airport, Chicago
• 4:25
  - Airport, the main airports are awful because they're
• 4:28
  - overcrowded.
• 4:29
  - But the great work around
• 4:31
  - is that minor airports
• 4:33
  - are very convenient like Atlantic City and especially
• 4:36
  - the breeze flights going to like Punta Gorda,
• 4:39
  - Florida,
• 4:40
  - West Palm Palm Beach
• 4:42
  - Florida. So you you fly I guess, Bordentown.
• 4:45
  - You have Frontier Airlines.
• 4:48
  - You use the smaller airlines from the smaller
• 4:50
  - airports
• 4:51
  - and you avoid a lot of those problems
• 4:54
  - and the flights are cheap and and convenient.
• 4:57
  - And and then when you're saying well, we
• 4:58
  - ought to have the government make the airlines
• 5:01
  - do this or the airlines do that. Well,
• 5:03
  - that's exactly what the government did with trains
• 5:06
  - and buses.
• 5:08
  - The fact is the, you know, you want
• 5:09
  - to take a train somewhere? Well, you can't
• 5:11
  - take a train somewhere
• 5:12
  - because almost all the trains are out of
• 5:15
  - business and that's because the government, federal government
• 5:17
  - basically took over the railroads
• 5:20
  - in the early nineteen hundred with the progressive
• 5:22
  - democrats like Woodrow Wilson.
• 5:25
  - And then here in New Jersey,
• 5:27
  - people complained about, that well, this bus was
• 5:30
  - inconvenient.
• 5:31
  - Used to have like dozens of scheduled bus
• 5:34
  - companies
• 5:35
  - in New Jersey. You had Greyhound. You had
• 5:38
  - public service. You had the Lincoln bus company.
• 5:41
  - But back in the nineteen sixties,
• 5:44
  - the state government started telling the bus companies
• 5:46
  - why you have to run your routes here.
• 5:48
  - You have to charge this much for the
• 5:50
  - fares. You have to have this many,
• 5:52
  - trips from this city to that city. And
• 5:55
  - so the state government basically put every single
• 5:57
  - private bus company in New Jersey out of
• 6:00
  - business.
• 6:01
  - And then you had a crisis. There's no
• 6:02
  - buses. No scheduled bus service in New Jersey.
• 6:04
  - So So what did they do? Well, New
• 6:07
  - Jersey went into the bus business,
• 6:09
  - by having a monopoly.
• 6:11
  - And, the first thing they did, they created
• 6:13
  - New Jersey Transit. The first thing they did
• 6:15
  - was all the rules
• 6:17
  - that put all the private bus companies out
• 6:19
  - of business. New Jersey transit was exempt for
• 6:22
  - it from them. So, here we have,
• 6:25
  - you know, you can't take a bus to
• 6:26
  - get somewhere. You can't take a train somewhere.
• 6:28
  - Everybody wants to take the planes. The planes
• 6:30
  - are,
• 6:31
  - cheap and convenient.
• 6:32
  - The problem's caused by overcrowding.
• 6:35
  - But watch that instinct to say, oh, yeah.
• 6:37
  - Well, I was had a lot of stress.
• 6:39
  - Let's have the government fix it. Government fix
• 6:42
  - it. They're gonna turn the, airplane service into
• 6:44
  - the what they did to the buses and
• 6:46
  - the trains.
• 6:47
  - Well, now that you put it that way,
• 6:49
  - let's let's leave the government out of this.
• 6:52
  - Yeah. I I I think the market will
• 6:54
  - work it work out. And you see it's
• 6:56
  - working out because, you know, Spirit went out
• 6:58
  - of business, but it wasn't the end of
• 7:00
  - the world. It was inconvenient for, you know,
• 7:02
  - a couple of weeks or a couple months.
• 7:04
  - But now you have Allegiant. Now you have,
• 7:06
  - Breeze coming in. And the the free market
• 7:09
  - of people of, you know, where failures go
• 7:11
  - out of business, successes are given a chance
• 7:14
  - to succeed,
• 7:15
  - that is far better than having the government
• 7:18
  - run everything.
• 7:20
  - I guess I'll begin by wishing you a
• 7:22
  - a happy,
• 7:23
  - new Jewish holiday of today.
• 7:26
  - A in Yiddish or Sukkot in, in Hebrew.
• 7:29
  - It's called the the festival of booths or
• 7:32
  - tabernacles.
• 7:33
  - That's when Jews are supposed to be, building
• 7:35
  - these temporary shacks outside of our houses and
• 7:38
  - living in them for a week.
• 7:40
  - Needless to say, this is not the best
• 7:42
  - weather for that kind of holiday,
• 7:44
  - but that it's supposed to remind us how
• 7:46
  - in ancient Israel, when they it's a harvest
• 7:49
  - festival. People were,
• 7:51
  - harvesting their crops, so they wanted to harvest
• 7:54
  - the crops at night under the light of
• 7:56
  - the moon because this holiday always has a
• 7:58
  - full moon.
• 8:00
  - And,
• 8:01
  - you know, they they could harvest their crops
• 8:03
  - at night. But, of course, all the full
• 8:05
  - moon is doing for us in New Jersey
• 8:07
  - today is giving us a higher tide.
• 8:09
  - So make sure you move your car. Well,
• 8:12
  - it's a here it is at 09:00. It's
• 8:14
  - already high tide. So if you didn't move
• 8:15
  - your car by now, you better, you know,
• 8:17
  - get your insurance company papers out if you,
• 8:20
  - in the street
• 8:21
  - and take care of that.
• 8:23
  - Alright. Well, you didn't talk about politics, but
• 8:25
  - I will. The, midterm elections are already underway.
• 8:31
  - A lot of, I guess, boomers still think,
• 8:33
  - oh, yeah. The election's,
• 8:35
  - five and a half weeks away, in,
• 8:39
  - in, you know, November 3.
• 8:41
  - But, actually,
• 8:42
  - the, the voting began last Saturday.
• 8:45
  - And here in Atlanta County alone, 21,000
• 8:49
  - mail in ballots were mailed out in Atlanta
• 8:51
  - County. They're already sitting on people's kitchen tables
• 8:54
  - and living room tables. People are already voting.
• 8:57
  - So that's why you're seeing so many political
• 8:59
  - ads right now,
• 9:01
  - because,
• 9:02
  - you know, we don't have election day in
• 9:04
  - November anymore. We have this
• 9:06
  - seventy five day
• 9:08
  - vote harvest
• 9:09
  - season,
• 9:10
  - and,
• 9:11
  - it's a horrible system. It was designed by
• 9:14
  - Democrats
• 9:15
  - to make sure that it's easier for them
• 9:18
  - to get what we call the low information
• 9:20
  - or no information voters out.
• 9:23
  - You you probably remember from the old days
• 9:25
  - of the Nucky Johnson or half volley machines
• 9:28
  - or the,
• 9:30
  - you know, the Richard Daley Democrat machines in
• 9:32
  - the in Chicago and the other big cities.
• 9:35
  - What they would do
• 9:37
  - on election day, they would send their election
• 9:39
  - workers out knocking on doors and,
• 9:42
  - you know, going out in the streets and
• 9:43
  - just dragging everybody and bringing them to the
• 9:46
  - polls on election day.
• 9:48
  - But it was hard to bring all those,
• 9:50
  - you know, people who didn't care, didn't know.
• 9:53
  - Some of them are drunk, some on drugs,
• 9:54
  - some are sick. It was a real headache,
• 9:57
  - and impossible to bring them to the polls.
• 10:01
  - And that was a good thing because for
• 10:03
  - two or three hundred years in America,
• 10:06
  - elections were were decided by people who
• 10:09
  - took the time to go to the polls
• 10:11
  - on election day.
• 10:12
  - And, you know, there are all these unintended
• 10:14
  - consequences for doing things. I don't know if
• 10:17
  - you remember back in the old days that
• 10:18
  - if you wanted to get a welfare payment
• 10:20
  - or if you want to get a, an
• 10:23
  - unemployment check,
• 10:24
  - you physically had to show up at the
• 10:26
  - welfare office. Oh, I remember. You had to
• 10:28
  - go to the unemployment line. I remember.
• 10:31
  - And what that did
• 10:33
  - is, you know, it screened out people who
• 10:35
  - were cheating the system or were too lazy
• 10:37
  - because they said, gee, if I have to
• 10:39
  - go through all this trouble to go get
• 10:41
  - my check, I might as well get a
• 10:43
  - job and get more money. But it were
• 10:46
  - the same, principle work for elections. You know,
• 10:49
  - by making people do work to get to
• 10:51
  - the polls and vote date and then they
• 10:54
  - go see other people who are out there.
• 10:55
  - You had to get dressed up. You had
• 10:57
  - to put your shoes on. You had to
• 10:58
  - get out of the house.
• 11:00
  - That screened out people who probably should not
• 11:02
  - have been voting because they were too sick,
• 11:04
  - too drunk, too under the influence of,
• 11:08
  - of, drugs or they just didn't care. So
• 11:10
  - basically,
• 11:11
  - the people who voted really cared enough and
• 11:14
  - we had better candidates. We had better,
• 11:16
  - politics.
• 11:18
  - But now that you have maybe 10 or
• 11:20
  - 20% of the voters who never ever voted
• 11:22
  - before,
• 11:24
  - Now the people who
• 11:26
  - who care about government the most
• 11:28
  - to pay people
• 11:29
  - to have seventy five days to to knock
• 11:32
  - on every door, you know, go under the
• 11:34
  - boardwalk, go hang out at every bar, whatever
• 11:36
  - you wanna do.
• 11:37
  - Now go through the nursing
• 11:39
  - homes. You have maybe the largest voter group,
• 11:43
  - that's out there or people who couldn't care
• 11:45
  - less or don't know or whatever
• 11:47
  - and they are the ones who decide elections.
• 11:50
  - And it's really not them who are deciding
• 11:52
  - the elections, it's the so called community organ
• 11:55
  - organizers
• 11:56
  - who go out there
• 11:58
  - and they say, well, we're the ones who
• 11:59
  - give you your your rent voucher, we give
• 12:02
  - you your free medical care, we give you
• 12:03
  - your free electric bill. We give you your
• 12:05
  - free food. We give you this. We give
• 12:07
  - you that. Oh, and by the way, could
• 12:09
  - you fill out this form,
• 12:11
  - and vote for the guys who are helping
• 12:12
  - us? And and that's what's happened to elections.
• 12:15
  - So, you know, the Democrats did this
• 12:18
  - and,
• 12:20
  - the the Republicans, George Bush,
• 12:23
  - John McCain,
• 12:25
  - and with the in 2001
• 12:27
  - did this, Christie, Todd Whitman did this. So
• 12:30
  - the Democrats gave us a system. We're stuck
• 12:32
  - with it. So my advice is,
• 12:35
  - if this is a system we have as
• 12:37
  - much as we don't like it,
• 12:38
  - don't wait for election day.
• 12:41
  - I am personally going to get my, ballot
• 12:44
  - early from Joe Jurala with Orlando County Clerk.
• 12:47
  - And if you're in a different county, you
• 12:48
  - get them from the county clerk.
• 12:50
  - The forms are online or you could call
• 12:52
  - up and you get them. The ballot gets
• 12:54
  - mailed to you. You fill it out. You
• 12:56
  - get it in. And it's important to do
• 12:58
  - that because once you understand the system,
• 13:02
  - then you understand,
• 13:04
  - all these people who ought to be voting.
• 13:06
  - You have kids in college, you have nephews
• 13:08
  - or nieces in college.
• 13:09
  - Well, you know, they're gonna vote by a
• 13:11
  - mail in ballot one way or the other.
• 13:13
  - So would you rather have the ballot go
• 13:15
  - to the college and have the professor
• 13:17
  - tell the kids how to vote? Or would
• 13:19
  - you rather have, the ballot come to your
• 13:21
  - house
• 13:21
  - and you tell your kids, you know, this
• 13:23
  - is, what's going on? You know, forget what
• 13:26
  - the the garbage your your professor is trying
• 13:28
  - to tell you.
• 13:29
  - You may have an aunt, you may have
• 13:31
  - an uncle in a nursing home or independent
• 13:33
  - living.
• 13:34
  - That uncle, that aunt, that's gonna vote because,
• 13:38
  - they have,
• 13:39
  - social workers
• 13:40
  - at those nursing homes and independent living and
• 13:43
  - they're gonna fill out the, the forms and
• 13:45
  - the ballot's gonna come and you're gonna have
• 13:48
  - people who who you know
• 13:50
  - support your candidate, but they're gonna vote for
• 13:52
  - the candidate you're against if you don't take
• 13:55
  - the lead and do this. So election day
• 13:57
  - is now. Election day will continue right up
• 13:59
  - until,
• 14:01
  - six and a half weeks from now on
• 14:02
  - November 3.
• 14:04
  - Well, now that you put it that way,
• 14:06
  - maybe, maybe I'll vote by mail.
• 14:09
  - You really should because there's something called Murphy's
• 14:11
  - Law. I mean, even if you have the
• 14:13
  - greatest intention,
• 14:16
  - of voting on election day,
• 14:18
  - people get sick, people get distracted, an emergency
• 14:21
  - comes up at work, and you find out
• 14:23
  - that you you missed the voting. So, to
• 14:25
  - avoid Murphy's Law, that's another reason to get
• 14:28
  - your ballot right now.
• 14:30
  - Meanwhile,
• 14:31
  - so many things going on. The the Republicans,
• 14:33
  - of course,
• 14:34
