Latest episode of Seth Grossman on WPG Radio, July 5, 2025.
John DeMasi Radio Show. Saturday morning 9:15.
Some topics discussed:
NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani; Democratic Socialist, Communist, Leftist.
Boomers gotta talk to kids. Teach them NOT to hate America.
Liberty & Prosperity is for:
Our nation was conceived in Liberty. 1776. All created equal. Do more than vote.
Start a conversation. Grab a Liberty and Prosperity postcard. Distribute.
America is NOT a Democracy. Rather, it’s a constitutional republic.
Definition of Consent.
Taxes in NJ. Who gets tax relief? Form of socialism. Electric bills. Affordable housing.
Lies about racism. Wealth creation.
Choke off opportunities for young people. We have an obligation to kids.
Eustace Mita. Ocean City Boardwalk development.
Make laws realistic. 98% of AC properties could be in violation of some law.
Zohran Mamdani is why we formed libertyandprosperity.com 22 years ago! We saw back then where teaching our kids to hate everything about America was taking us. We saw where NOT teaching our kids about anything good about America was taking us.
We don't teach our kids how liberty and freedom create wealth. We only teach them this leftist propaganda created by the communists of China and Russia during the Cold War. If we teach them nothing but the evil of our country and the greatness of failed socialist countries for sixty years, this is what our kids and grandkids and nieces and nephews are going to believe.

Don't call our kids stupid for supporting people like Zohran Mamdani. We Boomers were stupid for sending our kids to schools that teach this garbage day after day for 180 days of school every year.
We had them watching these propaganda movies for entertainment since Little Big Man and Dustin Hoffman in 1970. We saturated them with movies telling our kids that America's wealth came from murdering Native Americans, enslaving people, destroying the environment, and so on.
Remember Three Days of Condor with Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway? All the villains are white, heterosexual American men.
Everything in those movies is a lie. Those are all lies.
But if this is what our kids have been taught in school, in the movies, in the pop culture, in the media over and over and over again for sixty years, this is what they are going to believe.
Instead of complaining about Mamdani, we need to start teaching the truth to our kids. And by the way, those kids are already saying, even if those Boomers get together and beat Mamdani this time, those Boomers will all be dead soon, and then we're going to run the country.
They are already saying that the only people stopping them from running the country right now are those crazy, racist, ignorant, selfish Boomers.
So we Boomers have to take responsibility before it's too late.
Even at this late date, we can still do it. But we have to start talking to our kids and grandkids and nieces and nephews and all the other young people who need us for something right now.
And, I'm going to explain how Liberty and Prosperity can help. We help with the stuff we have posted on our website, the stuff we talk about at our Saturday breakfasts at Sal's Coal Fired Pizza in Somers Point, Groveland Avenue and New Road in Somers Point every Saturday morning, 09:30 to 10:30, and on talk radio programs like this. This is how we begin to undo the damage. This is how were start getting control of what's taught in our schools.
So instead of talking about what we're against, let's start emphasizing what we're for. And that's what we do at libertyandprosperity.com.

It is Talk with a Purpose every Saturday
night till noon, WPG Talk Radio ninety five
point five. I'm John DiMasi. Let's bring in
Seth Grossman. I know he has a lot
to say about Mamdani
and among other things. So, Seth, good morning.
Welcome.
Good morning. And, of course, Mamdani
Mamdani
is the reason that we formed libertyandprosperity,uh,.com,
(00:22):
basically, twenty two years ago
because we could see
where
teaching our kids to hate everything about America,
not teaching our kids anything that made America
great,
not teaching our kids what creates wealth,
only teaching our kids,
(00:42):
this leftist
propaganda
created by the communist of, China and Russia
during the Cold War.
If we teach them nothing but the evil
of our country and the greatness of socialist,
of course, after sixty years, this is,
what their our kids and grandkids and nieces
and nephews are gonna believe.
(01:03):
So instead of calling the kids stupid, I
mean, who's stupid?
The kids for believing this stuff? Or we
boomers
for sending us,
sending our kids to schools
that teach this stuff a hundred and eighty
days during every year
of having them watching movies since,
you know, Little Big Man and Dustin Hoffman
(01:23):
in 1970,
teaching about how all America did was get
wealth by,
murdering,
Native Americans, by enslaving people, by destroying the
environment.
No. It's all lies,
but this is what our kids have been
taught in school, in the movies, in the
pop culture, in the media
over and over and over again.
(01:46):
And I think instead of complaining about it
and by the way,
Ma'am Domini is saying, well, even if I
lose this election, you know, when when when
those boomers finally are dead,
then we're gonna control the country and and
we're gonna do it because the only thing
that's stopping us from running the country
are the others crazy boomers.
So we boomers have to take responsibility.
(02:07):
Even at this late date, we could do
it if we start talking to our kids.
And,
I'm gonna explain how Liberty and Prosperity, the
stuff we have posted on our website,
the stuff we talk about at our Saturday
meetings at Sal's,
coal fired pizza,
in Summers Point, Grovewood Avenue and New Road
(02:27):
every Saturday morning, 09:30 to 10:30,
and on on talk radio programs like this,
how we
undo the message and start, getting control of
what's being taught in our schools.
So I'd like to, you know, instead of
talking about what we're against,
let's start emphasizing
what we're for. And and that's what we
do
(02:48):
at libertyandprosperity.com.
And if anyone wants to learn more about
us,
email us at info@libertyandprosperity.com.
Get on our free weekly email update list.
And and our we talked about this whole
membamie thing
in our newsletter. So, if you'd like to
get it or like to see it posted,
(03:08):
we post we post this broadcast on our
website.
All those details are there.
But anyway,
yesterday,
July 4
reminds us that our nation
was conceived in liberty on 07/04/1776.
And, Abraham Lincoln,
made it very clear in almost every speech
(03:30):
he made
that there was something exceptional about America.
There's
many hundreds of countries,
became independent
from, you know, some colonial power at some
point.
But America was different, and Abraham Lincoln pointed
this out. We not only declared our independence
from England,
but we declared
(03:53):
what ideas our country would be founded on.
And so we have this declaration of independence
that says we are all created equal.
We're all endowed by our creator with certain
unalienable rights,
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
And that to secure these rights, we institute
governments
exercising their just powers with the consent of
(04:15):
the governed.
And we have a postcard
that anyone could pick up with those words
of our declaration of independence on it.
And it says on the back of the
postcard,
do more than vote.
America was never perfect,
but when we understood and respected our constitution
and founding principles of liberty,
(04:36):
America brought more wealth, opportunities and justice
to more people than any other nation in
history.
And that is the meaning of liberty and
prosperity,
New Jersey's motto since 1776.
So we have these postcards.
And if you go to our office, where
my law office used to be in Somers
(04:56):
Point at,
Shore Road in Maryland Avenue, there's a waterproof
plastic bin where we have these postcards. You
could take these postcards and hand them out.
I keep a couple in my pocket whenever
I go to a restaurant or meet friends.
I I feel like I'm Johnny Appleseed handing
out, you know,
ideas with these,
declaration of independence
(05:18):
postcards.
And and I think that's the beginning to
hand out the postcard
and start a conversation at some point with
your kids, your nieces, or nephews, or any
random of friends who may be woke who
say what a racist, horrible country we have,
that that starts the conversation.
And and one of the things is, remember,
(05:38):
and and this is one of the awful
things that they teach in our schools starting
in kindergarten,
that America is a democracy.
No. America is not a democracy. It's a
constitutional
republic
designed to protect the equal rights of each
individual.
Now now,
we're we we say we have government by
(05:59):
consent. There's a big difference between consent
and democracy.
As Ben Franklin said, democracy is two bulls
and one sheep
taking a vote on what to have for
dinner.
You know, you can't have,
freedom
where
a majority could take away from you
everything that you have.
(06:21):
So so what is consent?
Well, I just want to give a,
you know, consent is something we do
every day in our lives. Let's say that
you,
you're living in a house,
that's too big for you. Your kids are
grown. You're living all by yourself in this
big house, and you wanna sell your house.
So you say, well, I think my house
(06:41):
is worth $300,000
So, I want someone to give me $300,000
from my house.
Suppose
you're a young family and you want to
have a house, and and you wanna have
a place for your family, but you say
I only have a $100,000
for a house.
How are you how are you gonna get
a house for your family?
(07:03):
How do you decide what the fair price
of a house is? Well, the guy asking
for $300,000,
if if I won't buy it, he he
won't sell to me for a 100,000.
He could look around, find other people who
will consent
to pay his $300,000.
And if he doesn't find someone
to pay that price, he has to decide
(07:24):
to either stay where he's at or lower
the price.
And and you have the freedom to look,
you know, the guy who wants a house
for a 100,000,
he could, you know, go around and and
ask,
hundreds of people selling
houses. And if he doesn't like what he
can get for a 100,000, he has to
pay more.
So everybody voluntarily
(07:44):
pays what they wanna pay
or gets what they wanna get. But you
can't use force,
to to tell somebody,
how much to sell for. And that's the
beauty
of an economy and a country
based on consent.
Now if this madam Danny,
you know, and and the socialist take over
and we've been teaching our kids how great
(08:06):
socialism is, they'd say, well, I need
a house for a $100,000.
So I'm gonna have the government
pass a law that says that this old
man,
you know,
has to you know, he doesn't need the
house anymore. I need the house. So I'm
gonna have a law that forces him to
sell for me for a $100,000.
That's what socialism is. Socialism is based on
(08:28):
force
where where people,
think they could force people to give them
what they want because they say they need
it. And and and I've just taken an
extreme case,
but but we're getting there. And unfortunately, we
have a lot of Republicans
look at it the same way.
For example, taxes on your on your homes
and your businesses in New Jersey are too
(08:49):
high.
Why are they too high? Well, because we're
spending too much money on, on making repairs,
on building things. We have these union rules.
We have environmental rules. We have diversity rules.
All these things make us pay a fortune
to make
fortune to make even minor repairs,
to to our streets. We can't we can't
afford to build
(09:09):
our streets,
or repair them.
So, we we will if if the tax
are too high, then we wanna have the
government
give certain people
tax relief.
And all that does is it lets people
who get the tax relief say, gee, I
could vote to spend as much money as
the government wants and somebody else is paying
for it.
(09:29):
That's a form of socialism.
The the idea that you can get what
you want
and make somebody else pay for it. No.
That's not government by consent. Consent is if
you want something to be done by the
government,
you pay the taxes for it. But yet,
you know, we're even taking electric bills. We
we have,
90% of the people pay more for electricity,
(09:53):
so that, you know, five or 10% could
get the the free electricity with the societal
benefit fee. We have this fake affordable housing,
where everybody who buys a house has to
pay 40 or $50,000
more. So a handful of people could get
quote, affordable housing units. So we've got to
get back to government by consent of voluntary,
(10:13):
you know, just like when you buy a
cup of coffee at Wawa,
you know,
you buy a cup of coffee because you
you have $2 in your pocket. You want
the coffee more than you want the $2
Wawa wants the $2 more than they want
their coffee.
So they give you the coffee, you say
thank you.
And then they give you give them the
(10:33):
$2 and they say thank you. Government by
consent
is a thank you, thank you moment on
the things you do.
And yet we're training our kids to say
that you have the right to force other
people to give you what you want because
you could get more votes than they got.
And and we've gotta get away from that.
You know, you you've said before that you
(10:54):
have some ideas
as to how to do that,
but
I I I don't know.
Is that realistic? I mean, especially me. I
mean, talking to my grandson.
You know, he's a good kid, but, you
know.
What what what what it's interesting.
My daughter is up from Florida,
(11:15):
and and she is,
talking to, her all her her woke friends
who stayed here in New York,
And and and the conversation is is going
on about Israel where where they're they're they're
saying,
you know, how how could this happen? How
how could people saying all these lies about
(11:35):
Jews in Israel?
You know, because in Israel, the story of
Israel is very much like the story of
America.
When the Jews came to Israel, they bought
land that Arabs did not want. And the
reason that the Arabs didn't wanna live there
was there was malaria swamp. People were dying
of malaria. There was desert.
You know, the Bedouin camels had eaten
(11:56):
every tree, every blade of grass.
The soil was ruined. Nothing could grow there.
So for thirty years, you had Jews pay
top dollar for worthless land.
They drained the malaria swamps.
They killed the mosquitoes.
They watered the desert. They planted trees. They
planted crops.
And after they did all that, then you
(12:16):
had Arabs in in the neighborhood. They started
moving in. Oh, this is a great place.
We we want this land. You stole our
land.
So so Jews know that,
and and my daughter is saying
to them,
well, we know how they're lying about the
left is doing with the, the radical
Muslims to say all these lies about us,
(12:36):
and we know it's a lie.
So my daughter's telling her friends, well, think
of the other things they're lying to us
about,
How how they lied about the racism here
and they lied about,
you know, that that we're poisoning the planet,
you know.
My daughter's saying, gee whiz, if if if
we're poisoning the planet and the sea levels
are rising and the climate is changing,
(12:59):
then the cheapest land
we could possibly buy in New Jersey must
be beachfront property in Longport. You know, I
bet you could buy it. I bet they're
giving it away there. And and, of course,
they're not. So so you just have to
talk to your,
your your friends at, or your your kids,
you know, just have to take one moment
of one lie,
and and explain, you know, how how they
(13:21):
lied to you about one thing and then
move gently into another lie. But, but I
think the best thing to do, the best
beginning is to start with those libertyandprosperity.com
postcards
that explain our our declaration of independence,
because everybody knows when people are wealthy
and other people don't have wealth,
you know, it's easy to say, well, they
(13:43):
have too much. Let's just have the government
take their stuff.
But if we talk about how this wealth
got created in the first place,
about all the, you know, the grandparents
who came here with nothing.
And then they worked in a factory, you
know, for 5¢
an hour, but they learned the skill.
And then after working in the factory for
(14:05):
a for a couple years, they saved their
money, and they would buy a shop and
they buy the machine and they start doing
the stuff in their, in a little workshop
or they'd,
they'd start selling meals,
in Atlantic City
out of their their living room and turn
it into a restaurant and take in borders
in the summer and make it into a
hotel.
(14:25):
All these things
that that people did to create this wealth
when America was a land of opportunity,
when the taxes were just about non existent,
that's that's the key to understanding things. But
on the other side of the coin, we
have to remember
how we boomers have choked off
the opportunity for young people.
(14:46):
And and I know I go on and
on about
Eustace Media in in Ocean City trying to
build a, you know, a simple 250
room hotel where there there was a failed
amusement park.
I mean, which which,
use to attracts, more people, an amusement park
or a or a hotel? Obviously,
the amusement park. I mean, as anyone who
(15:07):
has taken kids to Ocean City and parked
the car seven blocks away, you know, when
my kids were young, you know, I I
know how crowded it was, but but yet,
if if someone is wealthy as as Eustace
Mead that can't get a simple permit
to simp build a simple hotel in the
resort area of a resort town,
(15:27):
think of what it's like for a for
a young person who wants to open up
maybe a beauty salon or a young person
who wants to, you know, open up a
restaurant or a small business.
And think of all the change we have
McDonald's,
we have,
you know, the the, you know, every, we
have Starbucks coffee to sell coffee, McDonald's to
(15:48):
sell hamburgers.
Why do we have that? A big reason
is because it costs so much money to
get permits
just to open up a restaurant to sell
hamburgers.
Young think of how all the young people
we knew starting out who got rich,
in the fifties and sixties
and and how we choked off that opportunity.
So we we have to do two things.
(16:09):
Before us, we boomers
ride off into the sunset,
I think we have a special obligation to
our kids that, look, we brainwashed you for
sixty years by sending you to these rogue
schools.
We choked off the opportunity
by passing all these zoning laws and permit
laws and license laws and insurance laws that
make it impossible for young people to legally
(16:31):
go into business. You know, that's why we
have so many illegal immigrants doing all this
stuff under the table, by the way.
If we're gonna do it right, if we're
gonna enforce immigration laws, we're gonna make everyone
comply by by the law. We also have
to make the laws realistic.
They don't have towns like Atlantic City and
most towns where 98
(16:51):
of every
house and business in Atlantic City is in
violation of some law.
Meaning if the business burns down, you wouldn't
be permitted to build the same thing up
again
because those are the kind of ridiculous laws
we had. So so we really have to
need a checkup from the neck up. But,
but two hundred and fifty years of America,
(17:12):
I I think we have to say,
if we don't want
Ma'am Dani
and that New York socialism
and the radical leftist to be running this
country,
we're gonna have to have a good hard
look as to what we've done to this
country, we the boomers,
for the past sixty years. And instead of
just going around and playing pinochle and pickleball
(17:33):
all day,
you know, take some effort to to join
liberty and prosperity, support liberty and prosperity or
groups like us,
to learn
some of this stuff and teach it in
grips and drafts to your kids. So so
that's my mission, and, you got me started
on this this ramp once again. Yeah. But
but if it's if you're listening to this
(17:53):
program on Saturday,
please come by the the the, Liberty and
Prosperity breakfast. All you have to do is

Seth Grossman. I know he has a lot
to say about Mamdani
and among other things. So, Seth, good morning.
Welcome.
Good morning. And, of course, Mamdani
Mamdani
is the reason that we formed libertyandprosperity,uh,.com,
(00:22):
basically, twenty two years ago
because we could see
where
teaching our kids to hate everything about America,
not teaching our kids anything that made America
great,
not teaching our kids what creates wealth,
only teaching our kids,
(00:42):
this leftist
propaganda
created by the communist of, China and Russia
during the Cold War.
If we teach them nothing but the evil
of our country and the greatness of socialist,
of course, after sixty years, this is,
what their our kids and grandkids and nieces
and nephews are gonna believe.
(01:03):
So instead of calling the kids stupid, I
mean, who's stupid?
The kids for believing this stuff? Or we
boomers
for sending us,
sending our kids to schools
that teach this stuff a hundred and eighty
days during every year
of having them watching movies since,
you know, Little Big Man and Dustin Hoffman
(01:23):
in 1970,

wealth by,
murdering,
Native Americans, by enslaving people, by destroying the
environment.
No. It's all lies,
but this is what our kids have been
taught in school, in the movies, in the
pop culture, in the media
over and over and over again.
(01:46):
And I think instead of complaining about it
and by the way,
Ma'am Domini is saying, well, even if I
lose this election, you know, when when when
those boomers finally are dead,
then we're gonna control the country and and
we're gonna do it because the only thing
that's stopping us from running the country
are the others crazy boomers.
So we boomers have to take responsibility.
(02:07):
Even at this late date, we could do
it if we start talking to our kids.
And,
I'm gonna explain how Liberty and Prosperity, the
stuff we have posted on our website,
the stuff we talk about at our Saturday
meetings at Sal's,
coal fired pizza,
in Summers Point, Grovewood Avenue and New Road
(02:27):
every Saturday morning, 09:30 to 10:30,
and on on talk radio programs like this,
how we
undo the message and start, getting control of
what's being taught in our schools.
So I'd like to, you know, instead of
talking about what we're against,
let's start emphasizing
what we're for. And and that's what we
do
(02:48):
at libertyandprosperity.com.
And if anyone wants to learn more about
us,

Get on our free weekly email update list.
And and our we talked about this whole
membamie thing
in our newsletter. So, if you'd like to
get it or like to see it posted,
(03:08):
we post we post this broadcast on our

All those details are there.

dinner.
You know, you can't have,
freedom
where
a majority could take away from you
everything that you have.
(06:21):
So so what is consent?
Well, I just want to give a,
you know, consent is something we do
every day in our lives. Let's say that
you,
you're living in a house,
that's too big for you. Your kids are
grown. You're living all by yourself in this
big house, and you wanna sell your house.
So you say, well, I think my house
(06:41):
is worth $300,000
So, I want someone to give me $300,000
from my house.
Suppose
you're a young family and you want to
have a house, and and you wanna have
a place for your family, but you say
I only have a $100,000
for a house.
How are you how are you gonna get
a house for your family?
(07:03):
How do you decide what the fair price
of a house is? Well, the guy asking
for $300,000,
if if I won't buy it, he he
won't sell to me for a 100,000.
He could look around, find other people who
will consent
to pay his $300,000.
And if he doesn't find someone
to pay that price, he has to decide
(07:24):
to either stay where he's at or lower
the price.
And and you have the freedom to look,
you know, the guy who wants a house
for a 100,000,
he could, you know, go around and and
ask,
hundreds of people selling
houses. And if he doesn't like what he
can get for a 100,000, he has to
pay more.
So everybody voluntarily
(07:44):
pays what they wanna pay
or gets what they wanna get. But you
can't use force,
to to tell somebody,
how much to sell for. And that's the
beauty
of an economy and a country
based on consent.
Now if this madam Danny,
you know, and and the socialist take over
and we've been teaching our kids how great
(08:06):
socialism is, they'd say, well, I need
a house for a $100,000.
So I'm gonna have the government
pass a law that says that this old
man,
you know,
has to you know, he doesn't need the
house anymore. I need the house. So I'm
gonna have a law that forces him to
sell for me for a $100,000.
That's what socialism is. Socialism is based on
(08:28):
force
where where people,
think they could force people to give them
what they want because they say they need
it. And and and I've just taken an
extreme case,
but but we're getting there. And unfortunately, we
have a lot of Republicans
look at it the same way.
For example, taxes on your on your homes
and your businesses in New Jersey are too
(08:49):
high.
Why are they too high? Well, because we're
spending too much money on, on making repairs,
on building things. We have these union rules.
We have environmental rules. We have diversity rules.
All these things make us pay a fortune
to make
fortune to make even minor repairs,
to to our streets. We can't we can't
afford to build
(09:09):
our streets,
or repair them.
So, we we will if if the tax
are too high, then we wanna have the
government
give certain people
tax relief.
And all that does is it lets people
who get the tax relief say, gee, I
could vote to spend as much money as
the government wants and somebody else is paying
for it.
(09:29):
That's a form of socialism.
The the idea that you can get what
you want
and make somebody else pay for it. No.
That's not government by consent. Consent is if
you want something to be done by the
government,
you pay the taxes for it. But yet,
you know, we're even taking electric bills. We
we have,
90% of the people pay more for electricity,
(09:53):
so that, you know, five or 10% could
get the the free electricity with the societal
benefit fee. We have this fake affordable housing,
where everybody who buys a house has to
pay 40 or $50,000
more. So a handful of people could get
quote, affordable housing units. So we've got to
get back to government by consent of voluntary,
(10:13):
you know, just like when you buy a
cup of coffee at Wawa,
you know,
you buy a cup of coffee because you
you have $2 in your pocket. You want
the coffee more than you want the $2
Wawa wants the $2 more than they want
their coffee.
So they give you the coffee, you say
thank you.
And then they give you give them the
(10:33):
$2 and they say thank you. Government by
consent
is a thank you, thank you moment on
the things you do.
And yet we're training our kids to say
that you have the right to force other
people to give you what you want because
you could get more votes than they got.
And and we've gotta get away from that.
You know, you you've said before that you
(10:54):
have some ideas
as to how to do that,
but
I I I don't know.
Is that realistic? I mean, especially me. I
mean, talking to my grandson.
You know, he's a good kid, but, you
know.
What what what what it's interesting.
My daughter is up from Florida,
(11:15):
and and she is,
talking to, her all her her woke friends
who stayed here in New York,
And and and the conversation is is going
on about Israel where where they're they're they're
saying,
you know, how how could this happen? How
how could people saying all these lies about
(11:35):
Jews in Israel?
You know, because in Israel, the story of
Israel is very much like the story of
America.
When the Jews came to Israel, they bought
land that Arabs did not want. And the
reason that the Arabs didn't wanna live there
was there was malaria swamp. People were dying
of malaria. There was desert.
You know, the Bedouin camels had eaten
(11:56):
every tree, every blade of grass.
The soil was ruined. Nothing could grow there.
So for thirty years, you had Jews pay
top dollar for worthless land.
They drained the malaria swamps.
They killed the mosquitoes.
They watered the desert. They planted trees. They
planted crops.
And after they did all that, then you
(12:16):
had Arabs in in the neighborhood. They started
moving in. Oh, this is a great place.
We we want this land. You stole our
land.
So so Jews know that,
and and my daughter is saying
to them,
well, we know how they're lying about the
left is doing with the, the radical
Muslims to say all these lies about us,
(12:36):
and we know it's a lie.
So my daughter's telling her friends, well, think
of the other things they're lying to us
about,
How how they lied about the racism here
and they lied about,
you know, that that we're poisoning the planet,
you know.
My daughter's saying, gee whiz, if if if
we're poisoning the planet and the sea levels
are rising and the climate is changing,
(12:59):
then the cheapest land
we could possibly buy in New Jersey must
be beachfront property in Longport. You know, I
bet you could buy it. I bet they're
giving it away there. And and, of course,
they're not. So so you just have to
talk to your,
your your friends at, or your your kids,
you know, just have to take one moment
of one lie,
and and explain, you know, how how they
(13:21):
lied to you about one thing and then
move gently into another lie. But, but I
think the best thing to do, the best
beginning is to start with those libertyandprosperity.com
postcards
that explain our our declaration of independence,
because everybody knows when people are wealthy
and other people don't have wealth,
you know, it's easy to say, well, they
(13:43):
have too much. Let's just have the government
take their stuff.
But if we talk about how this wealth
got created in the first place,
about all the, you know, the grandparents
who came here with nothing.
And then they worked in a factory, you
know, for 5¢
an hour, but they learned the skill.
And then after working in the factory for
(14:05):
a for a couple years, they saved their
money, and they would buy a shop and
they buy the machine and they start doing
the stuff in their, in a little workshop
or they'd,
they'd start selling meals,
in Atlantic City
out of their their living room and turn
it into a restaurant and take in borders
in the summer and make it into a
hotel.
(14:25):
All these things
that that people did to create this wealth
when America was a land of opportunity,
when the taxes were just about non existent,
that's that's the key to understanding things. But
on the other side of the coin, we
have to remember
how we boomers have choked off
the opportunity for young people.
(14:46):
And and I know I go on and
on about
Eustace Media in in Ocean City trying to
build a, you know, a simple 250
room hotel where there there was a failed
amusement park.
I mean, which which,
use to attracts, more people, an amusement park
or a or a hotel? Obviously,
the amusement park. I mean, as anyone who
(15:07):
has taken kids to Ocean City and parked
the car seven blocks away, you know, when
my kids were young, you know, I I
know how crowded it was, but but yet,
if if someone is wealthy as as Eustace
Mead that can't get a simple permit
to simp build a simple hotel in the
resort area of a resort town,
(15:27):
think of what it's like for a for
a young person who wants to open up
maybe a beauty salon or a young person
who wants to, you know, open up a
restaurant or a small business.
And think of all the change we have
McDonald's,
we have,
you know, the the, you know, every, we
have Starbucks coffee to sell coffee, McDonald's to
(15:48):
sell hamburgers.
Why do we have that? A big reason
is because it costs so much money to
get permits
just to open up a restaurant to sell
hamburgers.
Young think of how all the young people
we knew starting out who got rich,
in the fifties and sixties
and and how we choked off that opportunity.
So we we have to do two things.
(16:09):
Before us, we boomers
ride off into the sunset,
I think we have a special obligation to
our kids that, look, we brainwashed you for
sixty years by sending you to these rogue
schools.
We choked off the opportunity
by passing all these zoning laws and permit
laws and license laws and insurance laws that
make it impossible for young people to legally
(16:31):
go into business. You know, that's why we
have so many illegal immigrants doing all this
stuff under the table, by the way.
If we're gonna do it right, if we're
gonna enforce immigration laws, we're gonna make everyone
comply by by the law. We also have
to make the laws realistic.
They don't have towns like Atlantic City and
most towns where 98
(16:51):
of every
house and business in Atlantic City is in
violation of some law.
Meaning if the business burns down, you wouldn't
be permitted to build the same thing up
again
because those are the kind of ridiculous laws
we had. So so we really have to
need a checkup from the neck up. But,
but two hundred and fifty years of America,
(17:12):
I I think we have to say,
if we don't want
Ma'am Dani
and that New York socialism
and the radical leftist to be running this
country,
we're gonna have to have a good hard
look as to what we've done to this
country, we the boomers,
for the past sixty years. And instead of
just going around and playing pinochle and pickleball
(17:33):
all day,
you know, take some effort to to join
liberty and prosperity, support liberty and prosperity or
groups like us,
to learn
some of this stuff and teach it in
grips and drafts to your kids. So so
that's my mission, and, you got me started
on this this ramp once again. Yeah. But
but if it's if you're listening to this
