(00:00):
We bring in Seth Grossman, Liberty and Prosperity,

(00:03):
and I know Seth has plenty of things
to talk about here on the show, and
we bring them in. Seth, good morning. Welcome.
Good morning.
And as always, everything is posted at libertyandprosperity.com.

(00:25):
And if you,
you know, have trouble,
signing up for our email updates, do that.
And, of course, we meet for breakfast every
Saturday morning from 09:30
to 10:30
at Sal's, Cold Fire Pizza in Summers Point.
And we always like to talk about stuff
that maybe not everyone else is talking about.

(00:46):
For example,
gold, is selling for $4,200
an ounce.
That means a $20 gold piece is worth
$4,200
now.
And silver, a silver dollar
is $58 an ounce.
So,
you know, it it just shows what we
you know, it's not that these gold is

(01:08):
worth more. It's It's not that silver is
worth more. It's not that if you had
a $200,000
house eight years ago and now it's a
$400,000
house, it's still the same old house. It's
the money is worth less than it was
before. And there's only one thing that causes
inflation.
The government is spending more money
than what it takes in. And, you know,

(01:30):
you could talk about the Federal Reserve or
your anti inflation policy.
But as long as the government spends more
money than it takes in every year,
every dollar that's out there is worth less.
It's like hidden tax.
So if they talk about nailing you a
check for $2,000
or
or giving you a tax break,
you have to say, well, every time the

(01:51):
government spends a dollar more than it takes
in, there's a hidden tax. And we forget
about that, and nobody ever talks about that.
So I thought I'd bring that to your
attention.
Then the,
another forgotten story.
We always talk about,
you know, the corruption of the politicians.
And I always like to talk about the

(02:11):
corruption of the voters.
That once voters think
that they can get what they want from
the government
and have somebody else pay for it.
You know, that's not liberty. That's not democracy.
That's theft.
That's corruption.
It's no different
from when you, you know, say I'm gonna
vote for somebody

(02:32):
who's gonna make somebody else pay for what
I want.
That's no different from you reaching into somebody
else's pocket
and taking their wallet.
It's the same thing. So I I had
to laugh when I looked at the,
one of the weekly papers, the Ocean City
Sentinel.
That upper township, a nice Republican government,

(02:52):
agreed to spend $60,000
to lobby for federal funding
to, put sand on their beaches
in Strathmere.
So,
you know, it used to be, you know,
when we had real
liberty, real democracy,
if you live in the town
and you wanna have your beaches

(03:13):
fixed,
you'd say, okay. We'll raise some money.
We'll raise the taxes, and we'll fix our
beaches.
But now instead of, spending $60,000
to fix your beach,
the people in Upper Township are spending $60,000
to ask somebody else to fix their beach,
namely the federal government.
And what gives the federal government the power

(03:34):
to fix local beaches?
You could read the constitution.
We invented the federal government
to take care of national problems
that local government can't fix.
Army, navy,
postal service, inventions.
It's all there in article one section eight.
But to fix a local beach in a

(03:54):
local town,
you know, what what gives
is that why we have the federal government?
But this what what used to be corrupt
is now normal, and that's just one example.
You know, I I wanted to ask you
something totally off the subject. Okay?

(04:16):
And it has to do with the casinos
and this,
bill that senator Paulistina is is putting forth.
What do you think of that? What do
you do you think this is gonna help
Atlantic City?
Of course, it's not gonna help Atlantic City,
because, basically,
senator Vince Palestine, the Republican, is is saying,

(04:39):
we want the $3 tax on free parking
to pay for a whole bunch of government
projects.
And if you look at every dollar or
every project that was built
with with with somebody else's money, and that's
what it comes down to,
you may remember in the early days of
the casinos, they had free parking.
And that free parking didn't just help the

(05:01):
casinos.
People would take the free parking in the
garages to go down, go to a local
restaurant,
go get a haircut, go shopping on Atlantic
Avenue.
And then Bill Gormley had the genius idea,
let's put a $3 tax. I think it
was a $2 tax then. $2 tax on
free parking so we no longer have free
parking.
So basically, Paulistino wants to take the the

(05:24):
the $3 tax on free parking that really
killed downtown Atlantic City, and he wants to
use it for projects like, and look at
all the projects. He's gonna do another baseball
stadium?
Is he gonna have another empty convention hall?
Is he gonna have another empty train station?
We didn't before we had one half empty
convention hall. Now we have two half empty,

(05:44):
a boardwalk hall and another one.
So it's that that whole idea of public
private
partnership
is just a a a way to spend
somebody else's money to get your friends rich.
So that's the stuff that killed Atlantic City
in the first place.
So
this is not a good idea?
Of course, it's not a good idea. It

(06:06):
never was.
You know, we'll talk about some stuff that
is a good idea,
and and you're gonna have Denny Levinson on,
shortly.
You know,
when you talk about the like, if when
you get sick
and you have a high fever
and there's an infection causing the high fever,
how do you fix the fever?

(06:27):
Well, the doctor will tell you the first
thing is you wanna kill the germs that
are causing you to be sick.
You have to take a medicine, an antibiotic.
But if you have an infection and you
have a high fever, and you'll say, I'll
bring the fever down
by taking off my clothes and going out
and, you know, playing in the snow.
That'll bring your temperature down, but it'll kill

(06:49):
the patient
because you're treating the symptom instead of the
disease.
And if you look at all the things
that are wrong in Atlantic City,
90% of them have to do with crime.
You have dangerous criminals
out in the street.
And sadly, many of those criminals
are kids. They're young people.

(07:09):
And the reason that we you're not arresting
and keeping them off the street is we
have no place to put them.
The jail's falling apart.
And even worse than the jail falling apart,
I think we only have maybe 21 or
22
beds
in the juvenile facility at Harborfield.
So there's an urgent need

(07:30):
to build, you know, a a better jail
and especially a jail that holds young, you
know, offenders.
So,
you know, I see we have the headline
in today's paper
that there's some sort of talk about
a regional new jail
involving, I guess, Camden
County and and and Cumberland County.

(07:51):
And, I know that Denny Levinson had some
problems with that proposal.
But even worse than that, there's no place
to put
the these, dangerous, you know, 16, 17, 18
year old kids
that are robbing people, hurting people, killing people.
I think you had, like, a a 17
year old killed his mother in Mays Landing
a week or two ago.

(08:12):
And and the reason it's out of control
is,
you know, when these young people arrested for,
you know, sort of petty crimes. When I
say petty, petty, like having knives and robberies
and and and shoplifting,
they're put right back in the street because
it cost a fortune to lock them up
because there's no place to put them.
So one of the best ways I know

(08:34):
it sounds counterintuitive,
but when you say Atlantic City doesn't have,
you know, good stores. Atlantic City doesn't have
good housing. Atlantic City doesn't have a supermarket.
So let's spend millions and millions of dollars
to build these things.
No. You don't do that. What you do
is you build,
a couple million dollars to build a youth
prison to get the dangerous people off the

(08:56):
street,
to get the homeless off the street so
people who are there can could just have
a normal life. And then guess what? The
supermarkets, the shops, and the the people come
back by themselves.
All you have to do is have low
taxes,
safe streets, and clean streets, and the economy
takes care of itself.

(09:16):
But that's that's something that our politicians
either don't understand or they don't wanna understand
because they make so much money with all
these insider contracts
build building this stuff.
Oh, man. You you got me started, I'm
sorry.
I know. I got I know. I got
I I figured that.

(09:37):
Well, I I hope I answered the question,
but, anyway, all this is supposed at libertyandprosperity.com.
Meanwhile, just another thing. Of course, today is
December 6.
Tomorrow is December 7,
the day that the,
Japanese,
attacked,
an American Navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
killed 3,000 Americans.

(09:58):
And you'll notice,
in our public schools,
the the it's not just that they're lying
to our kids by giving them false information,
but there's so much that has never even
taught to our kids that they don't they
don't that they don't know about.
So you'll see all these school programs will
talk about, gee, in August, America dropped an
atomic bomb on Japan

(10:19):
and how terrible we Americans are for,
killing all these people. But you will not
find
programs in our public schools,
about what Japan did to America
on 12/07/1941.
And even worse than that, they won't even
tell you why the Japanese
attacked America

(10:40):
on 12/07/1941.
And that's because of another tragic event
that, that that people should remember but don't
remember
on December 13.
On 12/13/1937,
Japan invaded China,
and they occupied the city of Nanking in

(11:01):
China.
And for the next three months, the Japanese
army
went crazy and murdered 600,000
unarmed men, women, and children
in the one city of Nanjing, China alone.
And, of course,
nobody remembers that
because the communist don't wanna talk about,

(11:23):
how how how, the Japanese murdered all these
people in in China because they wanna blame
everything on America.
And, of course, Americans, you know, don't remember
that.
But, anyway, because of that mass murder
that took place in December
1937,
America said, we are not gonna give Japan

(11:43):
any more oil,
rubber, or tin
for their war machine
until they stop murdering,
the Chinese people.
And because America did that,
that's why
Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor on 12/07/1941
so they could invade all these countries to

(12:04):
get their rubber, their tin,
and their oil.
But, of course, that's not taught in our
public schools. All all people are are taught
about
is, oh, evil America drops atomic bombs on
people without saying that the reason Japan attacked
us in the first place
was because we would not help them murder,

(12:25):
millions of people in China.
So, you know, it it's just something that
that is not talked about, but I think
we have to talk about it. Because if
we don't teach our young people these things,
they're just gonna vote for your ma'am, Danny's,
and your socialist and think, you know, everybody
else in the world is good and America
is evil. So this stuff is really important.
You know, I didn't even know that.

(12:47):
I I didn't know that about 1937.
Yeah. That that wasn't taught in my school.
Right. Right. And and that's the reason why.
Because if if we remember that,
then you remember that they always say, well,
America is more like an aggressive.
No. We were not more like an aggressive.
All we did is we told the Japanese,

(13:07):
we will not sell you our oil or
our rubber or our chin
unless you stop murdering Chinese people. And that
was just too much for the Japanese. They
they had to attack us. But, yeah, we
we should know that. And if you wanna
look it up, it's called the
massacre of Nanking, n a n k I
n g, or the rape of Nanking.

(13:28):
It's the forgotten,
Chinese holocaust.
But it's very important, and it explains a
lot. And we and this is the kind
of stuff.
You know, instead of, saying, well, we wanna
ban books. It's really the public schools that
are banning the books. And that brings up
one other thing I I think I have
time for.
On Thursday, I was driving through North Jersey

(13:52):
listening to one of your sister stations, Town
Square Station, an afternoon show.
And the big conversation
was that the,
secretary of education, Linda McMahon,
was visiting a middle school in Colts Neck.
And Colts Neck, of course, is,
by mile post 105 of the Garden State
Parkway in Monmouth County.

(14:14):
And she was kicking off a program
called America two fifty civics education,
to teach young people in America
about our declaration of independence, our constitution, and
about our founding
to celebrate our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
So I'm listening to this program,
and the teacher union has gone nuts.

(14:37):
How dare,
the Trump administration
go into our public schools
and teach a program,
and they they said it was, sponsored by
Turning Point USA,
Hillsdale's College,
Moms for Liberty, all these extreme right wing,
groups to brainwash our children.

(14:57):
And what bothered me in that whole conversation,
you know, nobody said that
these groups are not right wing group. These
are mainstream,
nineteen sixties John f Kennedy,
ideas
that you and I grew up with. And
when you and I went to the public
schools in nineteen sixties, it wasn't racist. It

(15:18):
wasn't,
you know, bigoted or hateful. It was a
normal
America where everybody had an opportunity, and we
learned the basics of our country.
So,
you know, it it they're saying that, you
know, we wanna keep the public schools neutral,
but the public schools are not neutral. They're
run by the NJEA,

(15:40):
radical leftist group, the American Library Association.
And if you don't believe how leftist they
are, just go to their convention, Atlantic City,
every November, and you'll find out or look
at their website.
But the whole thing about our education system,
they keep talking about books being banned.
But you go into any school library

(16:00):
where you find a book about Thomas Edison,
Andrew Carnegie,
George Washington Carver, Booker t Washington,
Calvin Coolidge.
You won't even find books about George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln.
And that's the real damage. Not that they're
pushing a leftist agenda on our kids.
They're not teaching anything about what gave us

(16:21):
our American prosperity in the first place.
So so this is part of a an
effort to balance things out.
But but here's what really got me angry.
So you had the host on this program
were saying, well, I don't see why we
have to have anyone come in and teach
our kids about the declaration of independence. I
mean,

(16:41):
everybody knows what the declaration of independence is.
And and the whole point is is really
we don't.
Like, if I would ask the average person,
well, what does the declaration of independence mean?
And they'll say, oh, yeah. That's when we
got our independence from England.
But if you would ask Abraham Lincoln,
he would go around saying in almost every

(17:03):
speech,
the declaration of independence is, in in his
words,
a whole lot more than a mere separation
of the colonies from the mother country.
He said every political idea
he had in his life, Abraham Lincoln said,
was based on the sentiments of the declaration
of independence.
And what are they?

(17:24):
The self evident truth that we're all created
equal.
That we're endowed by our creator with unalienable
rights,
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
And that to secure these rights
is why we have government.
That's a very basic concept that made America
different from every other country in the world.

(17:44):
And yet, here I was listening to an
hour on the radio,
and you should have seen me. I was
on this, in rush hour traffic
on I 287
trying to pull to the to the shoulder
so I could make a phone call and
get in. And, of course, by the time
I got in to say just what I've
said,
the segment was over. So I didn't have
to a chance to do it. So I

(18:05):
was I'm venting with you, today. So maybe
some other time,
I'll I'll get to your sister station in
Trenton.
Anyway,
so much to talk about. Can't talk about
it all, but,
from 09:30 to 10:30, Saturday, Liberty and Prosperity
meets
at Sal's Coal Fired Pizza to talk about
it. And, of course, it's all posted on
our website. If you like what we're doing,
