In any case, before I forget, everything I
don't get to talk about this morning is
posted at libertyandprosperity.com.
I invite everybody to,
not only look at our articles there, but
if you don't find something you're looking for
on the home page, we have a search
bar. And that leads you to dozens, if
not hundreds, of articles on a topic you
(00:21):
wanna know about.

please share it with your friends on Facebook,
Twitter, or copy the link and paste it
on your social media or email.
And if you don't like what we say,
please comment because we approve all the comments,
and a lot of people do disagree with
us. And sometimes they
persuade us to change our position,
(00:42):
or feel free to come to the breakfast
that we have every Saturday morning from 09:30
to 10:30
at Sal's Cafe at, New Road in Groveland
Avenue in Somers Point.
And, of course, we also have a donate
button because it does cost money to be
on these radio programs as much as I
know you love to talk to me,
(01:03):
but the check's always in the mail, you
know, in the first of the month. So,
you could donate to libertyandprosperity.com
anonymously. It's a tax deductible gift,
by just going to the donate tab on
the website or sending a check to us
at the place in Somers Point that used
to be the Seth Grossman law office.
Well, a lot a lot of stuff going
on before I forget for,
(01:25):
those of my Jewish,
friends.
Today is the thirty fourth day
of the counting of the Omer.
And that's a forgotten
but important,
biblical commandment in the Old Testament,
because, you know, Jews celebrate Passover
to celebrate when the Jews were,
freed from slavery in Egypt.
(01:47):
But we're supposed
to count
fifty days.
And of and the the Greek word for
50 is Pentecost.
That we have another holiday fifty days after
Passover.
And Christians also observe it. And that,
reminds us that after Jews got out of
slavery and were supposedly free,
they couldn't really enjoy their freedom until they
(02:09):
got to Mount Sinai and got the 10
commandments
and got rules for everybody to follow.
Because as we point out at our liberty
and prosperity breakfast time and time again,
liberty is not doing what you feel like
doing when you feel like doing
it. Liberty is a discipline
where you are free to make the most
important decisions in your life.
(02:30):
But when you make your choices,
you can't do anything to interfere with the
right of everybody else to make their choices.
And that means you have to follow a
set of rules just like in any football
or baseball game or other sport.
So, that the the fact that today is
day 34
and it goes up to 50
is something worth mentioning.
(02:52):
I didn't know that.
Okay. Of course, I'm Only only I'm not
familiar with
Jewish tradition, but, you you always educate us
on something every week.
Right. And that's where the Pentecost and the
Pentecostals
all, you know, all that comes out of
that observation of that second holiday that comes
fifty days after the Jewish Passover. And, of
course, the Christian Pentecost is fifty days after
(03:15):
Easter.
Anyway, the,
the the other, thing as far as the
Republican
race for governor,
I didn't say everything I had to say
about John Bramnick, and thank you for mentioning
that if John Bramnick is endorsed by the
Philadelphia Inquirer, you know he's a Democrat. Yes.
That's right. Called himself Republican.
And, as far as Trump endorsing
(03:38):
Jack Ciattarelli,
I think it's very important to to realize
that,
for for those who support Bill Spadia. And
I have to admit that probably most of
our Liberty and Prosperity
of the breakfast group, still supports Bill Spadia.
A lot support Jack Ciattarelli.
But it's important to understand that Jack Ciattarelli
is no rhino.
(03:58):
He you know, the rhino is John Bramnick.
And Jack Ciattarelli was against that establishment
when he ran in 02/2017
the first time. He ran against Tim Guadano,
and the establishment
did every dirty trick in the book,
to hurt Jack Ciattarelli.
And so, I mean, he's not with them.
And I think it's very important for supporters
(04:20):
of Bill Spadia, whether you support Bill Spadia,
who's a good conservative, or Jack Ciattarelli, who's
a good conservative,
whoever wins the nomination,
all conservatives have to get behind the winner.
And we can't afford to play any games.
Well, I didn't get my guy in, so
I'm I'm gonna sit it out.
There's just too much at stake, and we
have to remember that.
(04:41):
Back to,
Trump. Remember last week, we were talking about
due process Yes. And natural justice.
Well, the Supreme Court was hearing that case
during the past few days, and and it's
sort of playing out the way, we talked
about last week.
That due process is is a really
basic feature
(05:02):
of American justice, of English justice,
and it was called natural justice in England.
And all that due process is is if
the government is gonna do something to you
and you don't like it,
due process says you have the right to
have reasonable notice
of what the government's gonna do.
You have an opportunity to be heard if
(05:24):
you claim the government is wrong,
and you have a chance to present your
case to an impartial tribunal.
Now,
some people in the Trump administration,
decided that they wanna deport a whole lot
of dangerous illegal immigrants
without due process
by using basically a War Powers Act, I
(05:44):
believe the Alien Enemies Act of 1798,
to bypass due process.
And you can hear from the arguments of
the Supreme Court that a lot of the
justices are really troubled by doing that.
But I just wanna remind everybody that if
Trump loses his case, it's not the end
of the world
because it's fairly easy
to come up with a due process system.
(06:07):
All that, if you have an illegal alien,
even if he's a dangerous criminal,
you just, when you arrest that person, you
give them notice
that if you disagree with our decision,
you know, here's who you contact, and you
could request a hearing.
And, then a hearing could be set up.
And it doesn't mean you get a full
trial with lawyers. It just means you you
(06:29):
get to have a hearing officer, and it
could be done by video from a jail
cell. And you present the case, and you
say why the government is wrong,
mistaken identity,
that that you're really somebody else, that the
person that they think you are is really
your cousin or somebody with the same name.
And the whole thing could be decided in
a matter of weeks, if not sooner. So,
(06:51):
again, it's not the end of the world
if Trump loses that case.
And and also the other case, the,
the birthright case.
A lot of people are saying, how could
the supreme
court
possibly
rule
that, you know, that a a baby, you
know, that's born from an illegal immigrant in
this country is a US citizen?
(07:13):
The intent of the fourteenth amendment was obviously
to protect,
blacks in America who had been born as
slaves.
Well, you know, even though the intention
may have been,
one thing,
the plain language in the fourteenth amendment suggests
something else.
And there are three or four Supreme Court
(07:34):
presidents,
that support,
you know, a ruling that I I don't
like, but I can understand how
the Supreme Court might rule in in, you
know, in favor of,
you know, the the so called anger babies
and against Trump.
But once again, that's not the end of
the world either. Because if you have a
(07:55):
child who's born in this country
from illegal immigrants,
if you deport the illegal parents,
the kid goes with the parents. Because under
three hundred years of child custody law,
the courts have held family courts have held
that, it's in the best interest of children
to be with their parents.
So, again, it's not
(08:16):
a big problem if that case doesn't go
the way Trump wants.
And I think in a way, it could
work out good for Trump
because another part of that same case,
is the idea that it's wrong to let
one
district judge
in one small section of the country
issue an
(08:36):
order that, blocks Trump from doing what he
wants in the whole country.
So I have a feeling that that case
is gonna end up with a split decision,
and and it should be okay.
So many of these cases are still to
be determined?
Oh, absolutely.
And and now,
and once you get past the district court
(08:58):
case because if you don't understand what a
district court is,
in New Jersey, for example,
we have three district courts.
We have one in Camden. We have one
in Trenton. We have one in Newark.
And every state has two or three of
these district courts. So you probably have, you
know, maybe a 50 district courts all over
(09:19):
the country.
So what the Democrats do is they just
shop around
for one wacko leftist judge, and they bring
a case in front of that judge.
And that
judge issues an order that affects the whole
country.
And that's outrageous and ridiculous.
And and part of the case that the
Trump lawyers are arguing,
(09:40):
you know, in that birthright citizenship case is,
yeah, even if we lose
the case on this one particular,
kid who claims he's American citizen,
that ruling of one district judge only applies
to this one district,
where that court is. It doesn't apply to
the whole country.
And that's a very, very important argument. I
(10:00):
have a feeling that Trump is gonna win
on that argument.
Well, we hope he does, certainly.
And that brings us back to,
to Beasley's point, something I've been talking about
a lot lately.
We we know that,
we had the Atlantic City Electric
raise the electric rates by 17%
(10:22):
last year.
They're supposed to go up another 20% next
month.
Atlantic City Electric proved that they have no
choice but to raise their rates because governor
Murphy shut down six key power plants in
New Jersey
and is forcing Atlantic City Electric to buy
very expensive electricity out of state, and they
(10:43):
have no choice but to pass it on
to the consumers.
Now, of course, governor Murphy is doing the
best he can to delay the rate increase
until after the election.
But regardless of whether the rates go up
before the election or after the election,
they're gonna keep going up as long as
we're not making enough electricity.
So it is so important for us to
(11:04):
reopen
the power plants
that, Murphy shut down during the past seven
years. And, of course, the two of them
that are here are the one by that
big Parkway Bridge,
by Mile Post 28 Of The Parkway at
Beasley's Point,
and the other is that nuclear plant,
by about, I guess, Mile Post 67
(11:25):
in Lacey
Township,
in in Oyster Creek. We have we can
open up the nuclear plant pretty quickly, but
we have to build the Beasley's Point, plant
from scratch.
So,
a lot of folks are looking at the
five
commissioners or rather township committee members of, Upper
Township because that's where Beasley's Point is. You
(11:46):
have,
mayor Corson.
You have, committeeman called Colombo,
Palumbo,
and you also have
a napkin is one. I forget the the
the fifth one. But it's very interesting.
If if you look at the site,
even though they took down the,
(12:06):
the the generator or even though they took
down the smokestack and the cooling tower,
the rest of the site is
ready to start construction of a new power
plant immediately.
The, the transmission lines are there.
The access to the cooling water is there.
All the permits are in place. So all
we need is, Atlantic City Electric or South
(12:28):
Jersey Gas say, we wanna put up a
new power plant there.
Now the only thing that could stop it
is if the township committee gives permits
for the developer to put 768
housing units,
stores, and other stuff there.
But here's what's encouraging.
That plan was supposed to be presented to
the township committee
(12:50):
last month,
and then they postponed it to last Monday.
And last Monday,
mayor Corson announced that they were not gonna
hear it. And then when the developer said,
well well, you said you were gonna hear
it today.
And, and Corson
made the public statement that we, the township
committee, decide when we're gonna hear it. So
(13:11):
I think there's a chance
that, the township committee of of upper township
is listening to us. And so I think
it's very important for everybody who doesn't want
these rate hikes,
everybody who wants us to start making,
clean, affordable, and abundant electricity again,
should be contacting the, Upper Township,
(13:32):
township committee.
Querchen, Palumbo,
Nappan, and and the other fellow. We and
our libertyandprosperity.com
website,
we have all the contact information so you
can go there and and get the word
out to them.
And you will continue this. Correct?
Absolutely. Because because if we don't continue it,
(13:52):
we're gonna get double digit rate hikes every
year until we turn into a third world
country.
And if we demand more and more electricity
and we're shutting down our power plants and
we're not building any new power plants
and wind and solar is as fickle as
the sun and the wind,
yeah. We're gonna have the power blackout like
(14:13):
we see in Puerto Rico and Spain and
in third world countries. So it is very
important to deal with it. And I know
the
the poor,
five guys in the township committee never thought
they'd be, you know, at the center
of of the future of,
energy in,
in America, but there they are. They could
either,
(14:34):
say yes to this developer who wants to
ruin
the best possible site in South Jersey to
build, a power plant,
or they could say no. And if they
say no,
that developer has to come up with other
plans, and they should come up with a
pan plan for a power plant.
Wow.
No. They I bet you they never thought
(14:55):
that this would come to this.
No. No. They didn't. But sometimes, you know,
you know, chance puts people who are not
expecting to be
in a history making position,
that's their that's their destiny. So,
so let's give them a chance to do
the right thing.
Meanwhile, there's this time to talk about one
(15:15):
more thing, which is also very serious,
and that's going on in Israel right now.
There's heavy, heavy fighting going on
in the Gaza Strip right now.
And, it's brutal fighting.
And,
you know, and a lot of the, you
know, the media and the college,
professors are saying that Israel is barbaric,
(15:38):
and and is evil for doing what it's
doing.
But I think we have to remind Americans
what we went through in World War two
because what's going on in the Gaza Strip
right now is exactly what Americans faced
in Okinawa,
facing Japan at the end of World War
two.
We all know that, that Japan started World
(15:59):
War two for America
when it, bombed,
our base at Pearl Harbor and killed about
two or 3,000 Americans
in 1941.
But what Americans were never taught is the
brutality
of the Japanese towards everybody else who lived
around them.
You had,
Japanese soldiers murdered
(16:21):
about four or 500,000
Chinese men, women, and children with bullets and
bayonets in the city of Nanking.
We never heard about that. We never heard
about the brutality towards the Filipinos and the
Indonesians and the Koreans.
And and the reason was the same,
I I guess,
death cult religion
(16:41):
that you have among the what's called the,
Salafi or the Muslim Brotherhood,
in, in Gaza.
The belief that the best way to go
to heaven and have a meaningful life is
to murder non believers because that will give
you paradise,
eternal life in paradise, forgiveness of your sin,
the 72 virgins, and all that.
(17:02):
And the only way America brought that death
cult to an end in Japan
was by doing this brutal fighting in Okinawa,
in which many men, women, and children were
killed because the Japanese
bought out of every single house.
And then, I believe 20,000 Americans were killed.
And so we had no choice but to
drop a nuclear bomb.
(17:23):
But if we didn't drop that atomic bomb,
we'd be having a war with Japan every
ten years,
just like Israel has a war with the
the Gaza every ten years. You've gotta bring
it to an end, and sadly, this is
the only way to bring it to an
end.
And Americans should know that because of of
of what we went through in, Okinawa.
(17:44):
But, of course, we never taught our children
about that, and our parents never really told
us about it. But we have to tell
that history. Anyway,

a case in front of that judge.
And that
judge issues an order that affects the whole
country.
And that's outrageous and ridiculous.
And and part of the case that the
Trump lawyers are arguing,
(09:40):
you know, in that birthright citizenship case is,
yeah, even if we lose
the case on this one particular,
kid who claims he's American citizen,
that ruling of one district judge only applies
to this one district,
where that court is. It doesn't apply to
the whole country.
And that's a very, very important argument. I
(10:00):
have a feeling that Trump is gonna win
on that argument.
Well, we hope he does, certainly.
And that brings us back to,
to Beasley's point, something I've been talking about
a lot lately.
We we know that,
we had the Atlantic City Electric
raise the electric rates by 17%
(10:22):
last year.
They're supposed to go up another 20% next
month.
Atlantic City Electric proved that they have no
choice but to raise their rates because governor
Murphy shut down six key power plants in
New Jersey
and is forcing Atlantic City Electric to buy
very expensive electricity out of state, and they
(10:43):
have no choice but to pass it on
to the consumers.
Now, of course, governor Murphy is doing the
best he can to delay the rate increase
until after the election.
But regardless of whether the rates go up
before the election or after the election,
they're gonna keep going up as long as
we're not making enough electricity.
So it is so important for us to
(11:04):
reopen
the power plants
that, Murphy shut down during the past seven
years. And, of course, the two of them
that are here are the one by that
big Parkway Bridge,
by Mile Post 28 Of The Parkway at
Beasley's Point,
and the other is that nuclear plant,
by about, I guess, Mile Post 67
(11:25):
in Lacey
Township,
in in Oyster Creek. We have we can
open up the nuclear plant pretty quickly, but
we have to build the Beasley's Point, plant
from scratch.
So,
a lot of folks are looking at the
five
commissioners or rather township committee members of, Upper
Township because that's where Beasley's Point is. You
(11:46):
have,
mayor Corson.
You have, committeeman called Colombo,
Palumbo,
and you also have
a napkin is one. I forget the the
the fifth one. But it's very interesting.
If if you look at the site,
even though they took down the,
(12:06):
the the generator or even though they took
down the smokestack and the cooling tower,
the rest of the site is
ready to start construction of a new power
plant immediately.
The, the transmission lines are there.
The access to the cooling water is there.
All the permits are in place. So all
we need is, Atlantic City Electric or South
(12:28):
Jersey Gas say, we wanna put up a
new power plant there.
Now the only thing that could stop it
is if the township committee gives permits
for the developer to put 768
housing units,
stores, and other stuff there.
But here's what's encouraging.
That plan was supposed to be presented to
the township committee
(12:50):
last month,
and then they postponed it to last Monday.
And last Monday,
mayor Corson announced that they were not gonna
hear it. And then when the developer said,
well well, you said you were gonna hear
it today.
And, and Corson
made the public statement that we, the township
committee, decide when we're gonna hear it. So
(13:11):
I think there's a chance
that, the township committee of of upper township
is listening to us. And so I think
it's very important for everybody who doesn't want
these rate hikes,
everybody who wants us to start making,
clean, affordable, and abundant electricity again,
should be contacting the, Upper Township,
(13:32):
township committee.
Querchen, Palumbo,
Nappan, and and the other fellow. We and
our libertyandprosperity.com
website,
we have all the contact information so you
can go there and and get the word
out to them.
And you will continue this. Correct?
Absolutely. Because because if we don't continue it,
(13:52):
we're gonna get double digit rate hikes every
year until we turn into a third world
country.
And if we demand more and more electricity
and we're shutting down our power plants and
we're not building any new power plants
and wind and solar is as fickle as
the sun and the wind,
yeah. We're gonna have the power blackout like
(14:13):
we see in Puerto Rico and Spain and
in third world countries. So it is very
important to deal with it. And I know
the
the poor,
five guys in the township committee never thought
they'd be, you know, at the center
of of the future of,
energy in,
in America, but there they are. They could
either,
(14:34):
say yes to this developer who wants to
ruin
the best possible site in South Jersey to
build, a power plant,
or they could say no. And if they
say no,
that developer has to come up with other
plans, and they should come up with a
pan plan for a power plant.
Wow.
No. They I bet you they never thought
(14:55):
that this would come to this.
No. No. They didn't. But sometimes, you know,
you know, chance puts people who are not
expecting to be
in a history making position,
that's their that's their destiny. So,
so let's give them a chance to do
the right thing.
Meanwhile, there's this time to talk about one
(15:15):
more thing, which is also very serious,
and that's going on in Israel right now.
There's heavy, heavy fighting going on
in the Gaza Strip right now.
And, it's brutal fighting.
And,
you know, and a lot of the, you
know, the media and the college,
professors are saying that Israel is barbaric,
(15:38):
and and is evil for doing what it's
doing.
But I think we have to remind Americans
what we went through in World War two
because what's going on in the Gaza Strip
right now is exactly what Americans faced
in Okinawa,
facing Japan at the end of World War
two.
We all know that, that Japan started World
(15:59):
War two for America
when it, bombed,
our base at Pearl Harbor and killed about
two or 3,000 Americans
in 1941.
But what Americans were never taught is the
brutality
of the Japanese towards everybody else who lived
around them.
You had,
Japanese soldiers murdered
(16:21):
about four or 500,000
Chinese men, women, and children with bullets and
bayonets in the city of Nanking.
We never heard about that. We never heard
about the brutality towards the Filipinos and the
Indonesians and the Koreans.
And and the reason was the same,
I I guess,
death cult religion
(16:41):
that you have among the what's called the,
Salafi or the Muslim Brotherhood,
in, in Gaza.
The belief that the best way to go
to heaven and have a meaningful life is
to murder non believers because that will give
you paradise,
eternal life in paradise, forgiveness of your sin,
the 72 virgins, and all that.
(17:02):
And the only way America brought that death
cult to an end in Japan
was by doing this brutal fighting in Okinawa,
in which many men, women, and children were
killed because the Japanese
bought out of every single house.
And then, I believe 20,000 Americans were killed.
And so we had no choice but to
drop a nuclear bomb.
(17:23):
But if we didn't drop that atomic bomb,
we'd be having a war with Japan every
ten years,
just like Israel has a war with the
the Gaza every ten years. You've gotta bring
it to an end, and sadly, this is
the only way to bring it to an
end.
And Americans should know that because of of
of what we went through in, Okinawa.
(17:44):
But, of course, we never taught our children
about that, and our parents never really told
us about it. But we have to tell
that history. Anyway,
