Welcome to talking with Anne on News Talk
1,492.3,
w o n d. Wanna talk politics or
what's happening in your town? This is the
place.
Wanna give your opinion on what's happening locally,
nationally, or even internationally?
This is the place.
And if you want civil dialogue no matter
which side of the political spectrum you're on,
(00:22):
this is the place.
Talking with Anne on Newstalk 1,400
90 2.3,
w o n d.
Here's your host, Anne Baker. Good morning, everyone.
This is Anne Baker on Talking with Anne,
and I am here with Brian Fitzherbert on
Fitzherbert Friday, and we have got a show
for you.
Brian, I was happy to attend your Atlanta
(00:43):
County Young Republican Club event
the other evening,
and,
tell us a little bit about what?
We do not have him yet.
We have Brian Fitzherbert.
I would see him come in. I will
I'm looking at the Zoom link. That was
my fault. That's so That's funny. Sorry, Scott.
That's not
(01:03):
I had my back turn moved. Yeah. That's
that is Good morning, Brian. Good morning, Scott.
That's a good one. Yeah. Exactly. We have
to It's going better now. Alright?
We all know where we sit. Yeah. This
is a good thing.
Yeah. Yeah. No. It was great turnout just
like it is every year for,
for our summer bash for Lane County Young
Republicans.
Great turnout, great energy, great speakers.
(01:25):
Again,
as I've said in the past, I usually
have a theme each year. Last year was
gubernatorial candidates. The year before that was sheriff's.
This year was individuals that have been, involved
in primaries, both as the aggressor and those
as the defender. So, again, these are things
that usually don't talk about,
how,
you know, ugly
(01:45):
elections can get even within your own party,
people who are on your team. And, you
know, ultimately, I'm team Republican, so that's that's
where you pivot after the primary's over. The
primary's good to not only sharpen the sword,
but it was very interesting because we had
Assemblyman Brian Bergen,
from North Jersey. We had, Councilman
Justin Mussella from Parsippany.
We had Doris Dilly from locally here in
(02:05):
Agarborough Township, and then we had Matt Lamborghies,
who's the Philadelphia,
Young Republicans chairman, all have encountered,
very interesting primary battles
as well as talking about, you know, the
bad, the good. And a lot of people
were,
very positive because
in the sense of inviting people who aren't
from the area or from South Jersey as
a whole, it's a great way to not
(02:27):
only network and and meet new people, but
get exposure to new people instead of seeing
the same old people, same old faces at
the same old events,
that get boring time after time. So that
was positive.
And, ultimately,
it was interesting because some of the speakers
were on opposite sides
in recent elections. So it was interesting to
get their perspective in a very respectful manner
and then the counterpoints.
(02:48):
And, ultimately, again, you know, there's
we have elections for reasons. It's nobody's seat.
And if you can present an alternative vision
for what you wanna run for or represent
the people, then the people can decide in
an election. And, you know, there's the argument,
oh, well, then we're wasting
if this person raised a $100,000 and this
person raised a $100,000 in a primary, that's
(03:08):
$200,000
that could have been spent in a general
election. Well, no. Not necessarily because guess what?
Would that $100,000
for that one candidate who came out to
present themselves, have been donated in the first
place, or did that excite a base of
individuals and supporters to actually get engaged with
the political process. So that's what you wanna
you wanna emphasize. So that was good. And,
(03:29):
we got a good taste of, Philadelphia,
politics from from Matt Landrieu
and what he's dealt with from YR chair
and that standpoint. And he actually had a
very interesting story because there is a young
Republican
that just got elected in Philadelphia as a
state senator Wow. Who had no support from
the organized Republicans, no support from anybody, but,
(03:50):
again, focused on grassroots,
mobilization and ultimately took out an incumbent Democrat
this past election in Pennsylvania.
And he had no support, no no anything,
and now they're on the rise and they're
getting more recruits because guess what? They won
something, so now it's attracting people to be
involved. You know? It's like your sports team.
You know, you pay attention when they're good.
(04:10):
You pay attention when they make the playoffs
and they make a playoff run,
rather than if they're not doing so great,
maybe you have other things to do on
on on those days. So it was a
good it was a good turnout. It was
a great opportunity,
to meet a few new folks, which is
always good and, you know, very humbling. So
it was great. Yeah. Yeah. I saw, young
people there, young young women there that were
(04:31):
absolutely lovely.
And I thought to myself, yep. They're the
ones that, next time around, they need to
invite, you know, half dozen of their friends
Mhmm. Just who are on the same page,
who understand
that we are being inundated by the left.
Left wing equals socialism, communism.
And until you get that in your heads,
(04:52):
that is exactly what is going to happen
in New York City with Ma'am Donnie. Yeah.
That, you're you're gonna fall into a pit,
and you're not even going to realize that
you stepped off the edge until it's too
late. Look. You can vote your way into
socialism. You can't vote your way out of
it. And that's what too many people,
don't understand
because they think that they can gimme gimme
(05:13):
gimme instead of individual responsibility.
And this is again, this is where the
frustration
boils over because
you have to be involved in your in
your parent in your children and every aspect
because it you're attacked from all angles. This
this personification
that politics has infected, like, a cancer, everything,
(05:34):
mostly socialism
and communism
and an attack on America, American patriotism,
and all these things. You know, America's this
you know, it was never great and also
the nonsense that they've tried to spew. And
I think, again, the presence of Donald Trump
in the last decade has turned this on
a dime because the fact that he won
the amount of young people that he did
just in 2024
(05:55):
is is is very promising. And even the
the new, wires that showed up on Wednesday,
and I was talking to him, introduced myself,
and, you know, they're all about
individual liberty,
individual freedom, and Donald Trump because he's allowed
they've lived through this stuff. They've seen what
kind of a nightmare it is under Joe
Biden, and they saw growing up what it
was like under Trump. And now Trump's back,
(06:17):
and we're seeing things. And it's only September
in Trump two point o. So I think
we're we're on a good trajectory. We gotta
keep that going, and we gotta give,
the emphasis that, yep, Republican party and conservative
principles and the MAGA movement is alive and
well with a lot of young people. Yeah.
I was just talking about all the lies
that were fed to the public by the
media in particular, but, you know, it was
(06:39):
the Democrat party and their machine that gave
them those lies.
But we saw this, and I don't understand
how people can still be proud to be
a Democrat.
We saw that the Steele dossier was something
that was bought by Hillary Clinton.
We saw where,
Wasserman Schultz was in fact allowing,
someone from,
(07:00):
an enemy country of ours. She was allowing
all of our all of,
the the
congressmen and women
to have their computers
being
handed over to these people from a different
country.
Yeah. And, actually, I was on, WND earlier
this week on,
(07:20):
Dan Klein show, and he asked me about
cybersecurity and a lot of this stuff that's
becoming,
more and more,
essential to even your your normal person's live.
You know, think VPN, virtual, private network,
to protect your data, your information.
You know, if you have a banking app
or anything like that, you know, I would
strongly advise that anytime you're on any kind
(07:42):
of Internet, even if it's your home Internet,
you should have a VPN that kinda protects
that data, at least in some some capacity.
And all this stuff is just
again, you think that the best and the
brightest go to congress or go to elected
office, and the sad fact is
they're not. And this is it's a miracle
(08:03):
that we've gotten almost two hundred and fifty
years in this country given that we never
put the a team, the b team, or
even the c team out there. A lot
of times, the vast majority of these individuals
are out for themselves and are out to
be the vehicle for the voters or the
representatives or the constituents that they were sent
by.
And all this stuff, Wasserman Schultz, a swallow,
(08:25):
literally Terrible. Literally sleeping with a Chinese spy,
Fang Fang.
The amount of pillow talk that she might
have learned from him being a congressman and
being access have access to classified information. He
hired another Chinese woman to clean the the
office. To clean the house. Access to everything
that was there. Or or a California senator
that was a driver who happened to I
(08:46):
mean, this I mean, again, this is this
is what drives me a little nuts because
of what I do for a living and
how I get vetted and to have security
clearance.
I mean, they go above and beyond. The
FBI and the Office of Personnel Management does
a a complete review. They do it multiple
times throughout your your tenure of having access
to this information to make sure that you
(09:06):
are qualified from a,
from a career standpoint, from a,
financials I mean, they look at everything. And
Mhmm. I keep forgetting that the rest of
the world does not operate that way when
you vet or when you try to, review
who someone is. And this is why we
have October surprises. This is why, you know,
some of these secrets, quote, unquote, come out
on politicians,
(09:27):
whether it's,
ill gotten personal decisions that have more or
less been,
ignored since the Clinton days. But, ultimately,
you want people to be good stewards, but
when you realize I mean, for instance, look
at this Lisa Cook woman who's on the,
federal governors of the Federal Reserve, who's literally
now it's come out. There are three
three significant problems that she committed, mortgage fraud,
(09:49):
and she hasn't denied it. And their allegations
and, you know, federal housing authority has referred
her for, criminal investigation to DOJ,
and she should resign. She's not going to.
She's gonna sue to keep her job, and,
ultimately, she's gonna wind up losing her job,
so she's gonna spend a whole lot of
money for no reason. But, ultimately, this is
someone who literally
gets to vote on whether or not
(10:12):
mortgage well, the Fed funds target interest rate
gets raised or lowered or stays the same
by amount of basis points that she's cheating
off of for her own personal gain. I
mean, it's just it's mind boggling. Yeah. But
that that's what happens more and more often.
I mean, there are a couple other bigwigs
there in the Democrat party who are also
being investigated
for more
(10:33):
mortgage fraud. Tish, James. I mean,
out of the three of them, I Adam
Schiff's
I'm sorry. He's going to jail. With what
is empirical evidence there, unless there's some drastic
Brady information that's gonna come out, that guy's
going to jail at some point in the
future. He'll spend money. He'll appeal. It'll take
years, but that guy's going to jail.
(10:54):
No question in my mind. Yeah. Well, your
lips to God's ears because it seems to
me that every time James Comer gets up
and says we're doing an investigation,
we're waiting for an outcome that's actually gonna
put the cuffs on somebody and bring them
over to the jail.
We have yet to see it happen. Well,
I think we've got a FBI with Cash
Patel and Dan Bongino that you you don't
(11:14):
hear them as much. You don't see it,
but that doesn't mean things aren't happening. And,
I suspect that there's more coming. Good people
are waiting for that, Brian. Good people who
want to see people held responsible
for the criminal acts that have given them
access to,
millions of dollars. I mean, it's when you
look at what these people went into congress,
(11:37):
how much money they made, what they were
worth, and then you see maybe a few
decades believe me. I believe in term limits
here.
A few decades later, they're worth tens of
millions of dollars. And it's like, where did
you get the money? On a a a
salary of under $200,000,
where did you get $82,000,000,
mister Schumer? Yeah. I mean, all these guys
(11:58):
and gals that have such great stock picks.
I mean, they blow Blackwater BlackRock and all
these other, investment firms out of the water
with their returns.
It's it's quite impressive. I mean, let's let's
use the example of Cracker Barrel that's happened
in the last couple weeks. Oh, yes.
Awesome investment opportunity for people if they had
the consumer confidence that they would bow to
(12:21):
Donald Trump's pressure
that this is not a good idea when
the stock dropped to, I think it was,
like, $51
and you bought in and now it's back
up to over 60, someone could have made
a lot of money. Normal market conditions because
you don't know what's going to happen. Yeah.
That's not the case with a lot of
these elected officials
that they I mean, we're talking
(12:41):
millions of dollars,
tens of thousands of shares that are traded
at very minute
timing. Right? Let's just call it timing.
And is it before something becomes official? Is
it because you just learned a lot of
it's access. It's access to information,
and that's why we have laws in the
books for insider trading so that if it's
(13:02):
not public knowledge,
but you just happen to be walking the
halls of Congress or the Rayburn or wherever,
and you happen to run into somebody and
they say something before it's actually a press
release comes out or it's public knowledge. Yeah.
That's that's kind of insider trading. Yep. If
you made an action
off that information that nobody else has,
that's kind of a problem. Where's Nancy Pelosi
in all this? Right. And, again and this
(13:25):
is this is where things get a little
dicey because her husband is the one who's
not the elected official, but she is. But,
clearly,
who's in control and who can say, hey,
honey, I just learned this. Why don't you
go buy, 200,000,
you know, shares of this company, blah blah
blah. Okay. Cool. Let's go do 10,000 shares
there. It's not out of the realm of
possibility, whether it's pillow talk at night, whether
(13:46):
it's just grabbing lunch. I mean, I'm sure
there's no digital trail. I can't believe they're
that they would be that stupid if they
ever did fall under investigation. But those are
the types of things that irk
individuals
that don't have access to that. You know?
If it's not public information
and you're able to jump on that and
this is where, again, guns and badges,
the amount of people that are required to
prosecute,
(14:07):
these kinds of charges. And that's why, again,
if you're in public office or if you're
in anything, you should be squeaky clean. There
shouldn't be an an any indication.
And, again, the assumption is that people are,
That's never the case. And
literally do,
any kind of Open Records Act look into
any way how anyone got any access to
(14:29):
things
that doesn't I mean, usually, you can do
a smell test. I mean, Donald Trump, how
did he become a billionaire? We all know.
We all watched it in real time. Right?
Amazing. Any other people? Yeah. It's a little
questionable.
Yeah. Well, look at Martha Stewart. She actually
And she went to jail. That's right. She
she paid the fine, and she did her
time. Why why can't everybody else? Absolutely.
(14:50):
Absolutely. She was she was lovely.
No one would have ever suspected that she
would have gotten insider information that allowed her
to make money.
But we look at Nancy Pelosi. We look
at the likes of a Chuck Schumer. We
look at all of those
long term senators and and Congress. Congresspeople,
and and you think to yourself,
(15:11):
how did they get so rich?
Yeah. And, again, this isn't a bash on
getting rich No. Per se. I I believe
in it. Kudos. Make as much money as
you possibly can, but we have rules on
the field for a reason. And we have
referees, I. E. The laws, that look to
make sure that people aren't doing something
that obviously gives a distinct
(15:32):
advantage that the public doesn't have. And that's
what it appears, appears, appears, appears Nancy Pelosi
and hundreds of her colleagues on both sides
of the aisle
have been susceptible to.
Yeah. And it's hard not to think that
anyone who's sitting in, a committee hearing that,
closed doors and all the rest of it,
that no one else has has access to
(15:54):
the information
they're going to be listening
to. That when they leave there, they're not
going to let someone know that this is
gonna go down with the the the Dow,
you know, this particular stock is gonna go
down or it's gonna it's gonna go
go crazy huge. So
Yeah. And, you know, that that's where a
(16:14):
lot of the accusation of the military industrial
complex comes in. And, obviously, I know this
a little bit better than most because I
know who all the defense contractors are. I
know what their products are,
on on face value. I know what they
try to get in terms of extra scope
and extra,
extra contracts, and I can use that from
(16:34):
a public standpoint on how to make decisions.
But if I'm in, like you said, a
closed door meeting where,
certain weapons were used and they're gonna be
need replenishment,
and then that individual senator or congressman goes
and buy stock of that company before it's
even been aware that those weapons have been
used, yeah, that's a problem. Yeah.
Well, when we come back, we're gonna take
a quick break. When we come back, we're
(16:54):
gonna continue this conversation. Please stay with us.
This is Anne Baker together with Brian Fitzherbert
on talking with Anne and Fitzherbert Friday. Stay
with us. News talk +1,
w o n d.
Yes. Anne Baker is on news talk +1,
w o n d. Wanna talk with Anne?
Call (609) 927-1100.
(17:17):
Good morning, everyone. This is Anne Baker on
Talking with Anne on News Talk +1
w o n d. And I'm here with
Brian Fitzherbert,
who just completed another successful Atlanta County Young
Republican Club.
And,
yeah, we we
you know, there's so much going on in
our country. But more than that, we need
(17:38):
to make sure that our youth
recognize how important it is to be aware
of what's happening in their country that will,
over the long term, affect them and and
whatever families they may have.
So these are things that,
you know,
you're trying to bring to the public, that
every person should be trying to bring to
the public who's involved in politics.
(18:00):
Yeah. And this is one of the things
that's that's very unfortunate because
a lot of times,
young people don't get involved for various reasons.
And a lot of times, it's you're too
busy. Right? You have your career. You're trying
to get yourself established, trying to make money.
You're getting married. You're having kids. You're you're
starting a family.
You gotta try to find a house. You
(18:22):
gotta pay that mortgage. All those things.
Think about schooling. Think about retirement. All those
normal things that, is part of the American
dream. But when it comes to political stuff,
sometimes people have such a distaste in their
mouth. And, also,
you know, national politics is exciting, right, presidential
every four years. But when it's the local
(18:43):
stuff that's around the corner that affects you,
especially this the the content that's in,
a public library or your school library. Obviously,
that's that's Very important. And yet, we had
we we had votes on that by Republicans.
It shouldn't have ever had. Yeah. I'm sorry.
It's very disappointing when you have Republicans that
vote for sexually explicit material to be in,
(19:04):
minors and other children's school libraries. It's just
I'm sorry. There's no excuse for that. And,
again, getting involved
at the local level, county, whatever that may
be is is very important. It has to
happen. Yeah. We have to do it,
and that's why we talk about it so
often because we wanna prompt others to, you
know, it could be people 50 and over.
(19:25):
You're gonna have to talk to your youngsters
about it. You're gonna have those youngsters being
21 and over,
about this. Anyway, this is Ann Baker together
with Brian Fitzherbert on talking with Ann and
Fitzherbert, Friday. Stay with us. We'll be back.
W o n d Pleasantville. You're talking with
Anne on new stock fourteen hundred and ninety
(19:46):
two point three, w o n d. Good
morning, everyone. This is Anne Baker together with
Brian Fitzherbert. I'm talking with Anne and Fitzherbert
Friday.
And,
you know, Brian and I are very concerned
actually about the direction that our state may
take if we continue on with another Democrat
governor Yeah. Who is absolutely awful. She doesn't
know very much, and yet she's been given
(20:08):
a lot of money by people who know
that she doesn't know very much, simply want
things to continue down the road they're going
according to the communist Phil Murphy. Yeah. So
this is again, so we got November 4.
We've got the gubernatorial election coming up. Jack
Ciattarelli is a Republican. Let's all go vote
for him. And, truthfully, any Democrat or independent
listening, here in South Jersey, you it would
(20:28):
behoove you to vote for Jack Ciattarelli because
I don't think Mikey Sherrill is gonna spend
much time or interest in anything South Jersey.
She's gonna be focused on North Jersey. So
I would encourage that. And I'm concerned because,
again,
we have,
odd year off year elections here in New
Jersey. Virginia is the only other state in
the union that has gubernatorial election this year.
(20:49):
And the amount of national
Democrat ad by slash reservations for Philly and
New York markets for Mikey Sherrill is a
$120,000,000
last publicly available information. For national Republicans, it's
zero.
That's concerning. Obviously,
the the individuals,
here in New Jersey, Jack Chedarelli and Mikey
(21:10):
Sherrill can raise money. They get a taxpayer,
match in terms of whatever they raise
to,
be dispersed to their campaign to spend on
on campaign activities, etcetera.
And they're about one they're about even one
to one. It's about 1,500,000
give or take for both of them in
this last, disbursement.
But this should be very, very simple for
(21:31):
the voters of New Jersey. If you are
very frustrated with the cost of living and
taxes,
what makes you think that putting another Democrat
in like Mikey Sherrill is gonna be any
different than what the last eight years have
been under Phil Murphy? Whereas Jack Turley has
has promised to not only freeze property taxes,
but try to find ways to make us
more cost effective as a state from a
(21:53):
bureaucratic standpoint from a budget. We have a
$60,000,000,000
budget, and yet nearly,
at least 10% of that
is spent
on illegal aliens that do not belong here.
They need they need to go.
So there's there's the cost and there's the
taxes. And then there's even further. We have
these utility bills that are off the charts
that is a result of Democrat
(22:14):
policy Terrible. Of the last
well, I mean, give it since the turn
of the century. Right? The Democrats have control
of the state senate and the general assembly
since the turn of the century, 02/2001. Right?
That's the last time the Republicans had any
control of any chamber in the majority. So
you're talking twenty five years, quarter of a
century, of Democrat policies that have led this
led us all here to this moment, including
(22:35):
policies that have pushed us from a net
exporter of energy, having the amount of power
plants we've had across the state, to a
net importer of energy that, again, to my
friends on the left, isn't your nice little
clean energy that you're always bragging about. We're
getting this from West Virginia and other places
that do it based on coal in Pennsylvania.
So, again, we've weakened ourselves from an energy
(22:56):
standpoint. We've taxed ourselves into oblivion. We've made
it so, guess what, young people can't find,
quote, unquote, jobs anywhere. So guess what? They
go elsewhere. They leave. And you know who's
gonna follow them? Their parents, their grandparents.
Any other family members will follow them too.
And so, again, we have a real shot
to take a,
take a bite out of things, hit the
brake pedal,
(23:17):
get a Republican in there for maybe four
to eight years. And granted, it's gonna be
harder because the idea that we might get
a majority in one of the chambers is
is probably objectively
very difficult to do. Mhmm. And, however, the
constitution
in New Jersey is the most powerful executive
in the country. So the Jack Charlie can
do a significant amount again, but it's not
(23:37):
based in,
hardcore law legislation. So it's it'll be a
four to eight year brake pedal
on things that could be made better in
the meantime.
So there's a lot of opportunity, but, again,
what makes you think anything's working
when you have individuals that can't even afford
a mortgage? Forget the mortgage. The down payment.
(23:59):
Do you find a house, even a starter
home, whatever that may be, the jobs? What
what business is gonna do anything
different than what they have been in New
Jersey because it's just not business friendly. You
can you can pass legislation to try and
push,
preferred industries, but, again, you got your crony
capitalism in there because then it's based on,
you know, who the politicians know and how
(24:20):
much, you know, leverage there's gonna be with
that, and it's all temporary.
But you gotta have a change. If it's
not working,
get off the highway. You can't keep cruising
down to this point of massive debt. And
we got a whole lot of other problems
that,
you know, for the most part is is
baked in our culture here in New Jersey,
(24:40):
but this can't continue when property taxes,
you know, continue to go up, and you're
talking double digits in some places here in
South Jersey. Obviously, North Jersey is between 30
and $40,000,
per household for property taxes. So it's just
not sustainable.
And, truthfully, if Jack Shirelli isn't successful
on November 4, I fear a mass exodus
(25:02):
of, probably Republicans and conservatives from the Garden
State. And at the same time, if this
lunatic in New York City, mom Donnie,
is successful in New York City, which is
looking unfortunately likely, that all the same Democrats
and independents
are gonna be like, yep. This is too
much for us. Socialist, communism, we're out, and
they come over the river into North Jersey,
and then they continue voting Democrat. And then
we have an even bigger chasm,
(25:25):
with regard to registration in the state. It's,
again, get your friends, get your nonpolitical friends,
and tell them to vote for Jack Charley
on November 4, and vote down the line
for Republicans. If you don't like it, independents
and Democrats, if you don't like it, guess
what? You can throw them all out in
two years in the state assembly and and
the senate, and you can you can basically
(25:48):
keep it limited. And then after that, then
you can decide whether or not Jack's vision
has made it better here in New Jersey
to to fix things. Otherwise, we're we're on
a path that a lot of people can't
follow, and they're gonna be looking for the
exits if, things don't change on November 4.
They have to.
When we consider
(26:10):
simply consider our electric bills, and that's the
elderly as well as Yeah. Young families,
You've seen them double and triple.
And
because of an auction that now we have
to we have to bid against other states
that need or want this energy,
and we're sitting here. We've closed down so
(26:30):
many of our energy resources
under mister Murphy Six shots. That really that
should have never ever been touched, and yet
that's what this this guy did. Yeah.
And and this this is where this is
where
this is where I get even more frustrated
because when we're talking about future
business endeavors that include data centers, artificial intelligence
(26:53):
so much energy. We need a a tremendous
amount of energy. And, you know, they have
all these business plans, these visions,
on what
is gonna happen in the Garden State,
but they haven't followed through that. Okay. Well,
how do you actually
systematically and from a structure standpoint make this
happen? Because you need energy to do it.
And,
(27:13):
again, there's gonna be I suspect in in
the coming years and decades that these deep
dark blue states that are so not business
friendly
are not gonna be businesses driven. They're going
to be your place where you store things.
And, again, that's where data centers could be
a huge plus or warehouses and distribution.
But if you don't even have the energy
(27:34):
to sustain
said data center, then you're really screwed.
And that's the path we're on. Look. When
you're going the wrong direction on the highway,
what do you do? You don't keep going
the wrong direction. You get off the exit
and you turn around
where you made the mistake. The mistake was
closing all these power plants. They need to
be replaced. They need to be rebuilt. You
(27:55):
need to also get into more twenty first
century technology of of these miniaturized nuclear capabilities.
Mhmm.
Obviously, submarines still use nuclear capabilities, everything in
between, and,
abandon this nonsense of wind and solar that
is not cost effective. You cannot store this
energy. You cannot do anything from
a over inch I mean, the fact that
(28:16):
they're still subsidized by government to make them
work tells you that it doesn't work. So,
again, this is a simple
one and zero
difference in terms of vision. You wanna continue
on the highway going the wrong direction
like we are with Phil Murphy, then vote
Mikey Sheryl because where you're going is an
abyss you don't wanna be. You wanna stop
(28:37):
and fix this, get off the highway at
the next exit, turn around, and get us
back on track, and that's Jack Cheaderelli. Yeah.
We have,
we've heard Jack. We have seen him come
very, very close
to winning the last election against mister Murphy
by three points.
And, it's like he has a vision for
New Jersey. He's a New Jersey guy. The
(28:59):
family his family's been in New Jersey for
over a hundred years. He's planning on, you
know, after this term
and if he's does a great job the
next term,
that's it. He is finished with politics. I
mean, he's still a relatively young man. Yeah.
He's in his early sixties. And look, again,
the
I have to objectively look at this because,
(29:20):
yes, in 2021, he lost by three points,
85,000 votes.
And granted, different political environment. Joe Biden was
the president. Republicans,
had the chance to to to basically make
their voice heard, which they did, and he
came back close to taking out incumbent Phil
Murphy. Now in the four years since, unfortunately,
people have died. People have turned 18. People
have moved into New Jersey. People have left
(29:41):
New Jersey. It's a different political environment because
Donald Trump is now the president.
The economy is a lot significantly better than
it was. However, there's still this is the
first chance for national Democrats to more or
less give the proverbial middle finger to Donald
Trump and Republicans
from last year's election victory, which, again, this
is where things from a political historical standpoint
are not on our side. However, that doesn't
(30:02):
mean you don't keep grinding away and talking
about the vision and using easy ways to
connect with voters. You want things to continue?
Fine. Vote for Mikey Sherrill, who is Phil
Murphy two point o, Kamala Harris two point
o. I mean, I don't know if there's
much of, a brain between those two ears.
But when you see countless,
(30:24):
instances
where you can be propped up to run
out the clock, which is, again, this is
my concern. The national Democrats have hundreds of
millions of dollars in reserve time to prop
up this woman where national Republicans have not
necessarily taken the same interest in New Jersey.
They've shown more interest in the state of
Virginia,
which, again, you need resources to get the
message out. Especially look. For instance, I'll use
(30:47):
the example. Locally, we have Republican organizations.
Right? You have maybe 200 or so county
committee people and then the four or five
people that run the the executive board, and
yet there's thousands upon thousands of actual Republican
voters. How do you reach them, get them
to come out when our voter participation rate
is, like, 25%?
(31:07):
That's not good. You need to do more.
You need to do as much as you
possibly can.
Everyone has to make phone calls. Everyone has
to talk to their to their neighbors, to
the people they run into at ShopRite every
week or or Acme or whatever grocery store
you go to and talk to the people
who aren't as ingrained in politics and convince
them to go to the polls for one
(31:27):
reason or another because and you gotta ask
for these people's vote. People want to be
asked for their vote. Yeah. It's very simple
to do that, although
you need massive amount of resources
to do that and to get your name
out there. And, again, not to put a
damper on this, but, again, Jack Turner has
been running for governor for quite a few
times now to raise his name ID, to
(31:47):
raise the amount of money, to get to
this point. If he'd if he's successful, great.
If he's not successful, this is very,
very bodes not good for future Republicans that
wanna run statewide. That's gonna take them a
decade
to raise their name ID, raise the amount
of funds to be competitive
in a state like New Jersey where Republicans
are outnumbered by 800,000
(32:08):
registered voters. Wow.
Well, when you think of it like that,
you also think that New York, if they
actually elect,
Ma'am Dani,
to the financial,
capital of the world. Yeah. New York City,
if they get a a communist to run
a, financial
district like New York City,
then what can New Jersey expect? New Jersey
(32:31):
and New York and perhaps Massachusetts
and Delaware, they can all come together
to die as far as I can see.
Because, economically,
that's where they're headed if they keep putting
in place
these socialist,
communist Democrats. You put Connecticut in there too,
and I know
firsthand. Look, there are plenty of businesses that
(32:52):
are headquartered in New York City for the
reason that is financial capital of the world,
even though they're not in banking or finance.
There's going to be a mass exodus. There's
no question about it because it's just not
worth it. They're not gonna pay these taxes
this guy is talking about that he'll have
a super majority on city council to pass
through. So you're going to see an exodus
of a lot of companies which is going
(33:13):
to create probably a a downturn
in, from a real estate standpoint, from a,
a usage standpoint. And like I said, you're
gonna have a lot of individuals, Democrats,
of course, Republicans that are left, but Democrats
and sane independents that are gonna be like,
this is too much. We're going over the
river, and we're gonna impact a place like
New Jersey.
And,
(33:34):
ultimately,
I mean, this is how things fall and
collapse. They're done from the inside
because they keep pushing this stuff that is
not
mathematically or financially or economically
sane
to do this. All these all these proposals
this guy has, all you have to do
is look on his website. I mean, it's
not even like he's hiding them. He's literally
putting them on there that he wants to
(33:54):
tax white wealthy neighborhoods more
just because of the block or the street
name they're on to get more access to
funds, which again is unconstitutional and it's discriminatory.
So all this stuff is just really bad.
It's really bad because if that happens in
New York, guess what?
Same people are coming here to New Jersey,
and they're taking their politics with them. Yeah.
(34:17):
That's the problem.
But if people bother to do any research
whatsoever on the backgrounds of the people who
are in office,
whether it's Hochul,
whether it's Phil Murphy,
whoever it is.
You have to remember that Democrats, by and
large, who gain power, keep power because they
are corrupt.
We saw Bill de Blasio, who was the
(34:39):
mayor of New York City,
before mister Adams.
His wife,
Chirlane
McCray,
stole close to a billion dollars.
She got that money through her husband's power,
and it was supposed to be for the
mental health of all of the, citizens of
of New York City.
(34:59):
We don't know
where 1¢
of that money went. She kept no receipts,
but she got close to a billion dollars
in taxpayer funds. How is it that the
citizens of New York City could possibly vote
for another Democrat knowing that they are being
stolen from by every Democrat politician that's ever
(35:20):
been there? They either don't believe it or
they don't know it, which both answers
are not good.
And even more, I mean, in a corporate
company,
this stuff would never fly because there's
this is again, this is my being naive
because I assume that the way things are
done in corporate America and what I've been
(35:40):
exposed to the last fifteen years is how
everything operates. And it's not because nobody follows
the law. Nobody,
is audited.
Nobody, is in a situation. And if there's
no media to, shine a light on things,
then people do things because people don't talk
about them. People don't know them, and people
get away with things. And it's the same
thing with that. I mean, she was paid
to be a videographer,
(36:00):
on top of all of that stuff, and
it's just insane the amount of money that's
stolen. We've seen that with Doge efforts from
the national level that all these,
nonprofits that are formed with a $100 deposit
and then all of a sudden they get,
a million hundreds of millions of dollars deposited
into their nonprofit or their NGO.
It's utterly insane. And this is this is
why we have a huge problem because people
(36:21):
grift. They come close to government and they
grift.
And if there's no,
for instance, government's my customer, but guess what?
I have thousand page federal acquisition regulations that
I have to follow to make sure that
things are done appropriately. Otherwise, the company gets
sued, etcetera, etcetera, and then you're then you're
in in court forever. That's not the same
(36:43):
on a state level or even a county
level or municipal level. There's not that kind
of oversight, and there's not a media
that also a free press, for instance, that
can keep them accountable because a lot of
people in the, quote, unquote, free press
are in bed with them.
And when you don't have W 0 N
D Pleasantville. W 223 C 0 Atlantic City.
You are talking with Ann on News Talk
(37:05):
+1
o n d.
Good morning, everyone. This is Ann Baker together
with Brian Fitzherbert on Talking with Anne and
on Fitzherbert, Friday.
Yeah. Anne, thanks again for for having me.
I I just wanted to comment one last
thing on this horrific,
shooting tragedy in Minnesota.
And, again, what you see in terms of
(37:25):
the responses
are typical of your left wing and your
liberals and your Democrats.
We need to stop normalizing mental disorders. We
need to have parents and guardians that are
who were responsible, whether or not this is
a minor or not in terms of who
committed the crime. Those parents or guardians are
responsible for what these actions and how they
were raised. They need to be start charging,
(37:47):
and we need to go back to involuntary
committals
because clearly, mental disorders
are taking a huge effect. We have to
stop normalizing.
They're not normal, and we need to make
actions. It's not taking away guns because these
lunatics will find another way to kill people.
It's not red flag laws. It's not any
of this stuff. It's highly mental disorders. We've
(38:07):
attempted to normalize that the left and the
Democrats have tried to say that this is
fine. It's okay. It's not.
Stop normalizing it. Have the parents and guardians
be held accountable for what they brought into
this world and the actions and decisions of
those individuals
as well as involuntary committals. Very simple. Yeah.
Simple for us,
(38:28):
but, not so simple, I guess, for the
families whose children
start veering off. And why do they veer
off? You have to ask yourself, is it
because of what they're learning in
school? What the mandates are telling you you
have to do in order to sexualize these
children to make them consider themselves, grooming them.
Exactly.
So,
this is something that if Jack Ciattarelli is
(38:50):
is in,
is in the office of the governor here
in New Jersey. That will end.
That will end. There will be no more
grooming. There will be no more mandates coming
down from the board of education that's in
Trenton that tells every other board of education
and all the teachers and the the unions,
of course, who support them because they they
go for woke.
(39:10):
This this has got to end, and it
will end under Jack Ciattarelli. And every parent
should be out there applauding the fact that
Jack Ciattarelli is running for office and wants
to end this kind of debacle,
which is so deleterious to the to to
the minds and and souls and emotions of
our children.
Look. This is what happens when things get
infected,
(39:31):
on a education basis, on a sports basis,
on every everywhere you look where this grooming
nonsense continues, it's gotta stop. November 4, go
Jack, try early. Oh, you betcha.
Brian Fitzherbert, as always,
you have such wonderful input. I love having
you on.
Normally, I would be asking you about the
weaponry that is coming down the pike that
(39:52):
will
protect each and every one of us and
that will be sold to Ukraine and the
EU will be part and parcel, and all
the contracts will come together so that we
will have what is it? The amendment five
of NATO? Article five. Article five of NATO
will, in fact, not even be needed because
it's gonna be all about the money and
the contracts. Yeah. Give them the tools, if
(40:14):
that is the will of the people, if
that is the decision that's made.
There's plenty of things that can be done
with that, and we're always making cool stuff
in the industry. It's always fun to be
part of. I love it. Brian Fitzherbert, my
love to you, to the Loopster that I
saw the other night, to Catherine,
who allows you to get away with murder,
by the way. And, you have a absolutely
(40:35):
wonderful Labor Day weekend. My love to all
of you, and, we'll see you soon. Absolutely.
Thanks for having me. My pleasure, my friend.
Anyway, this is Anne Baker.
Welcome to talking with Anne on News Talk
1,492.3,
w o n d. Wanna talk politics or
what's happening in your town? This is the
place.
Wanna give your opinion on what's happening locally,
nationally, or even internationally?
This is the place.
And if you want civil dialogue no matter
which side of the political spectrum you're on,
(00:22):
this is the place.
Talking with Anne on Newstalk 1,400
90 2.3,
w o n d.
Here's your host, Anne Baker. Good morning, everyone.
This is Anne Baker on Talking with Anne,
and I am here with Brian Fitzherbert on
Fitzherbert Friday, and we have got a show
for you.
Brian, I was happy to attend your Atlanta
(00:43):
County Young Republican Club event
the other evening,
and,
tell us a little bit about what?
We do not have him yet.
We have Brian Fitzherbert.
I would see him come in. I will
I'm looking at the Zoom link. That was
my fault. That's so That's funny. Sorry, Scott.
That's not
(01:03):
I had my back turn moved. Yeah. That's
that is Good morning, Brian. Good morning, Scott.
That's a good one. Yeah. Exactly. We have
to It's going better now. Alright?
We all know where we sit. Yeah. This
is a good thing.
Yeah. Yeah. No. It was great turnout just
like it is every year for,
for our summer bash for Lane County Young
Republicans.
Great turnout, great energy, great speakers.
(01:25):
Again,
as I've said in the past, I usually
have a theme each year. Last year was
gubernatorial candidates. The year before that was sheriff's.
This year was individuals that have been, involved
in primaries, both as the aggressor and those
as the defender. So, again, these are things
that usually don't talk about,
how,
you know, ugly
(01:45):
elections can get even within your own party,
people who are on your team. And, you
know, ultimately, I'm team Republican, so that's that's
where you pivot after the primary's over. The
primary's good to not only sharpen the sword,
but it was very interesting because we had
Assemblyman Brian Bergen,
from North Jersey. We had, Councilman
Justin Mussella from Parsippany.
We had Doris Dilly from locally here in
(02:05):
Agarborough Township, and then we had Matt Lamborghies,
who's the Philadelphia,
Young Republicans chairman, all have encountered,
very interesting primary battles
as well as talking about, you know, the
bad, the good. And a lot of people
were,
very positive because
in the sense of inviting people who aren't
from the area or from South Jersey as
a whole, it's a great way to not
(02:27):
only network and and meet new people, but
get exposure to new people instead of seeing
the same old people, same old faces at
the same old events,
that get boring time after time. So that
was positive.
And, ultimately,
it was interesting because some of the speakers
were on opposite sides
in recent elections. So it was interesting to
get their perspective in a very respectful manner
and then the counterpoints.
(02:48):
And, ultimately, again, you know, there's
we have elections for reasons. It's nobody's seat.
And if you can present an alternative vision
for what you wanna run for or represent
the people, then the people can decide in
an election. And, you know, there's the argument,
oh, well, then we're wasting
if this person raised a $100,000 and this
person raised a $100,000 in a primary, that's
(03:08):
$200,000
that could have been spent in a general
election. Well, no. Not necessarily because guess what?
Would that $100,000
for that one candidate who came out to
present themselves, have been donated in the first
place, or did that excite a base of
individuals and supporters to actually get engaged with
the political process. So that's what you wanna
you wanna emphasize. So that was good. And,
(03:29):
we got a good taste of, Philadelphia,
politics from from Matt Landrieu
and what he's dealt with from YR chair
and that standpoint. And he actually had a
very interesting story because there is a young
Republican
that just got elected in Philadelphia as a
state senator Wow. Who had no support from
the organized Republicans, no support from anybody, but,
(03:50):
again, focused on grassroots,
mobilization and ultimately took out an incumbent Democrat
this past election in Pennsylvania.
And he had no support, no no anything,
and now they're on the rise and they're
getting more recruits because guess what? They won
something, so now it's attracting people to be
involved. You know? It's like your sports team.
You know, you pay attention when they're good.
(04:10):
You pay attention when they make the playoffs
and they make a playoff run,
rather than if they're not doing so great,
maybe you have other things to do on
on on those days. So it was a
good it was a good turnout. It was
a great opportunity,
to meet a few new folks, which is
always good and, you know, very humbling. So
it was great. Yeah. Yeah. I saw, young
people there, young young women there that were
(04:31):
absolutely lovely.
And I thought to myself, yep. They're the
ones that, next time around, they need to
invite, you know, half dozen of their friends
Mhmm. Just who are on the same page,
who understand
that we are being inundated by the left.
Left wing equals socialism, communism.
And until you get that in your heads,
(04:52):
that is exactly what is going to happen
in New York City with Ma'am Donnie. Yeah.
That, you're you're gonna fall into a pit,
and you're not even going to realize that
you stepped off the edge until it's too
late. Look. You can vote your way into
socialism. You can't vote your way out of
it. And that's what too many people,
don't understand
because they think that they can gimme gimme
(05:13):
gimme instead of individual responsibility.
And this is again, this is where the
frustration
boils over because
you have to be involved in your in
your parent in your children and every aspect
because it you're attacked from all angles. This
this personification
that politics has infected, like, a cancer, everything,
(05:34):
mostly socialism
and communism
and an attack on America, American patriotism,
and all these things. You know, America's this
you know, it was never great and also
the nonsense that they've tried to spew. And
I think, again, the presence of Donald Trump
in the last decade has turned this on
a dime because the fact that he won
the amount of young people that he did
just in 2024
(05:55):
is is is very promising. And even the
the new, wires that showed up on Wednesday,
and I was talking to him, introduced myself,
and, you know, they're all about
individual liberty,
individual freedom, and Donald Trump because he's allowed
they've lived through this stuff. They've seen what
kind of a nightmare it is under Joe
Biden, and they saw growing up what it
was like under Trump. And now Trump's back,
(06:17):
and we're seeing things. And it's only September
in Trump two point o. So I think
we're we're on a good trajectory. We gotta
keep that going, and we gotta give,
the emphasis that, yep, Republican party and conservative
principles and the MAGA movement is alive and
well with a lot of young people. Yeah.
I was just talking about all the lies
that were fed to the public by the
media in particular, but, you know, it was
(06:39):
the Democrat party and their machine that gave
them those lies.
But we saw this, and I don't understand
how people can still be proud to be
a Democrat.
We saw that the Steele dossier was something
that was bought by Hillary Clinton.
We saw where,
Wasserman Schultz was in fact allowing,
someone from,
(07:00):
an enemy country of ours. She was allowing
all of our all of,
the the
congressmen and women
to have their computers
being
handed over to these people from a different
country.
Yeah. And, actually, I was on, WND earlier
this week on,
(07:20):
Dan Klein show, and he asked me about
cybersecurity and a lot of this stuff that's
becoming,
more and more,
essential to even your your normal person's live.
You know, think VPN, virtual, private network,
to protect your data, your information.
You know, if you have a banking app
or anything like that, you know, I would
strongly advise that anytime you're on any kind
(07:42):
of Internet, even if it's your home Internet,
you should have a VPN that kinda protects
that data, at least in some some capacity.
And all this stuff is just
again, you think that the best and the
brightest go to congress or go to elected
office, and the sad fact is
they're not. And this is it's a miracle
(08:03):
that we've gotten almost two hundred and fifty
years in this country given that we never
put the a team, the b team, or
even the c team out there. A lot
of times, the vast majority of these individuals
are out for themselves and are out to
be the vehicle for the voters or the
representatives or the constituents that they were sent
by.
And all this stuff, Wasserman Schultz, a swallow,
(08:25):
literally Terrible. Literally sleeping with a Chinese spy,
Fang Fang.
The amount of pillow talk that she might
have learned from him being a congressman and
being access have access to classified information. He
hired another Chinese woman to clean the the
office. To clean the house. Access to everything
that was there. Or or a California senator
that was a driver who happened to I
(08:46):
mean, this I mean, again, this is this
is what drives me a little nuts because
of what I do for a living and
how I get vetted and to have security
clearance.
I mean, they go above and beyond. The
FBI and the Office of Personnel Management does
a a complete review. They do it multiple
times throughout your your tenure of having access
to this information to make sure that you
(09:06):
are qualified from a,
from a career standpoint, from a,
financials I mean, they look at everything. And
Mhmm. I keep forgetting that the rest of
the world does not operate that way when
you vet or when you try to, review
who someone is. And this is why we
have October surprises. This is why, you know,
some of these secrets, quote, unquote, come out
on politicians,
(09:27):
whether it's,
ill gotten personal decisions that have more or
less been,
ignored since the Clinton days. But, ultimately,
you want people to be good stewards, but
when you realize I mean, for instance, look
at this Lisa Cook woman who's on the,
federal governors of the Federal Reserve, who's literally
now it's come out. There are three
three significant problems that she committed, mortgage fraud,
(09:49):
and she hasn't denied it. And their allegations
and, you know, federal housing authority has referred
her for, criminal investigation to DOJ,
and she should resign. She's not going to.
She's gonna sue to keep her job, and,
ultimately, she's gonna wind up losing her job,
so she's gonna spend a whole lot of
money for no reason. But, ultimately, this is
someone who literally
gets to vote on whether or not
(10:12):
mortgage well, the Fed funds target interest rate
gets raised or lowered or stays the same
by amount of basis points that she's cheating
off of for her own personal gain. I
mean, it's just it's mind boggling. Yeah. But
that that's what happens more and more often.
I mean, there are a couple other bigwigs
there in the Democrat party who are also
being investigated
for more
(10:33):
mortgage fraud. Tish, James. I mean,
out of the three of them, I Adam
Schiff's
I'm sorry. He's going to jail. With what
is empirical evidence there, unless there's some drastic
Brady information that's gonna come out, that guy's
going to jail at some point in the
future. He'll spend money. He'll appeal. It'll take
years, but that guy's going to jail.
(10:54):
No question in my mind. Yeah. Well, your
lips to God's ears because it seems to
me that every time James Comer gets up
and says we're doing an investigation,
we're waiting for an outcome that's actually gonna
put the cuffs on somebody and bring them
over to the jail.
We have yet to see it happen. Well,
I think we've got a FBI with Cash
Patel and Dan Bongino that you you don't
(11:14):
hear them as much. You don't see it,
but that doesn't mean things aren't happening. And,
I suspect that there's more coming. Good people
are waiting for that, Brian. Good people who
want to see people held responsible
for the criminal acts that have given them
access to,
millions of dollars. I mean, it's when you
look at what these people went into congress,
(11:37):
how much money they made, what they were
worth, and then you see maybe a few
decades believe me. I believe in term limits
here.
A few decades later, they're worth tens of
millions of dollars. And it's like, where did
you get the money? On a a a
salary of under $200,000,
where did you get $82,000,000,
mister Schumer? Yeah. I mean, all these guys
(11:58):
and gals that have such great stock picks.
I mean, they blow Blackwater BlackRock and all
these other, investment firms out of the water
with their returns.
It's it's quite impressive. I mean, let's let's
use the example of Cracker Barrel that's happened
in the last couple weeks. Oh, yes.
Awesome investment opportunity for people if they had
the consumer confidence that they would bow to
(12:21):
Donald Trump's pressure
that this is not a good idea when
the stock dropped to, I think it was,
like, $51
and you bought in and now it's back
up to over 60, someone could have made
a lot of money. Normal market conditions because
you don't know what's going to happen. Yeah.
That's not the case with a lot of
these elected officials
that they I mean, we're talking
(12:41):
millions of dollars,
tens of thousands of shares that are traded
at very minute
timing. Right? Let's just call it timing.
And is it before something becomes official? Is
it because you just learned a lot of
it's access. It's access to information,
and that's why we have laws in the
books for insider trading so that if it's
(13:02):
not public knowledge,
but you just happen to be walking the
halls of Congress or the Rayburn or wherever,
and you happen to run into somebody and
they say something before it's actually a press
release comes out or it's public knowledge. Yeah.
That's that's kind of insider trading. Yep. If
you made an action
off that information that nobody else has,
that's kind of a problem. Where's Nancy Pelosi
in all this? Right. And, again and this
(13:25):
is this is where things get a little
dicey because her husband is the one who's
not the elected official, but she is. But,
clearly,
who's in control and who can say, hey,
honey, I just learned this. Why don't you
go buy, 200,000,
you know, shares of this company, blah blah
blah. Okay. Cool. Let's go do 10,000 shares
there. It's not out of the realm of
possibility, whether it's pillow talk at night, whether
(13:46):
it's just grabbing lunch. I mean, I'm sure
there's no digital trail. I can't believe they're
that they would be that stupid if they
ever did fall under investigation. But those are
the types of things that irk
individuals
that don't have access to that. You know?
If it's not public information
and you're able to jump on that and
this is where, again, guns and badges,
the amount of people that are required to
prosecute,
(14:07):
these kinds of charges. And that's why, again,
if you're in public office or if you're
in anything, you should be squeaky clean. There
shouldn't be an an any indication.
And, again, the assumption is that people are,
That's never the case. And
literally do,
any kind of Open Records Act look into
any way how anyone got any access to
(14:29):
things
that doesn't I mean, usually, you can do
a smell test. I mean, Donald Trump, how
did he become a billionaire? We all know.
We all watched it in real time. Right?
Amazing. Any other people? Yeah. It's a little
questionable.
Yeah. Well, look at Martha Stewart. She actually
And she went to jail. That's right. She
she paid the fine, and she did her
time. Why why can't everybody else? Absolutely.
(14:50):
Absolutely. She was she was lovely.
No one would have ever suspected that she
would have gotten insider information that allowed her
to make money.
But we look at Nancy Pelosi. We look
at the likes of a Chuck Schumer. We
look at all of those
long term senators and and Congress. Congresspeople,
and and you think to yourself,
(15:11):
how did they get so rich?
Yeah. And, again, this isn't a bash on
getting rich No. Per se. I I believe
in it. Kudos. Make as much money as
you possibly can, but we have rules on
the field for a reason. And we have
referees, I. E. The laws, that look to
make sure that people aren't doing something
that obviously gives a distinct
(15:32):
advantage that the public doesn't have. And that's
what it appears, appears, appears, appears Nancy Pelosi
and hundreds of her colleagues on both sides
of the aisle
have been susceptible to.
Yeah. And it's hard not to think that
anyone who's sitting in, a committee hearing that,
closed doors and all the rest of it,
that no one else has has access to
(15:54):
the information
they're going to be listening
to. That when they leave there, they're not
going to let someone know that this is
gonna go down with the the the Dow,
you know, this particular stock is gonna go
down or it's gonna it's gonna go
go crazy huge. So
Yeah. And, you know, that that's where a
(16:14):
lot of the accusation of the military industrial
complex comes in. And, obviously, I know this
a little bit better than most because I
know who all the defense contractors are. I
know what their products are,
on on face value. I know what they
try to get in terms of extra scope
and extra,
extra contracts, and I can use that from
(16:34):
a public standpoint on how to make decisions.
But if I'm in, like you said, a
closed door meeting where,
certain weapons were used and they're gonna be
need replenishment,
and then that individual senator or congressman goes
and buy stock of that company before it's
even been aware that those weapons have been
used, yeah, that's a problem. Yeah.
Well, when we come back, we're gonna take
a quick break. When we come back, we're
(16:54):
gonna continue this conversation. Please stay with us.
This is Anne Baker together with Brian Fitzherbert
on talking with Anne and Fitzherbert Friday. Stay
with us. News talk +1,
w o n d.
Yes. Anne Baker is on news talk +1,
w o n d. Wanna talk with Anne?
Call (609) 927-1100.
(17:17):
Good morning, everyone. This is Anne Baker on
Talking with Anne on News Talk +1
w o n d. And I'm here with
Brian Fitzherbert,
who just completed another successful Atlanta County Young
Republican Club.
And,
yeah, we we
you know, there's so much going on in
our country. But more than that, we need
(17:38):
to make sure that our youth
recognize how important it is to be aware
of what's happening in their country that will,
over the long term, affect them and and
whatever families they may have.
So these are things that,
you know,
you're trying to bring to the public, that
every person should be trying to bring to
the public who's involved in politics.
(18:00):
Yeah. And this is one of the things
that's that's very unfortunate because
a lot of times,
young people don't get involved for various reasons.
And a lot of times, it's you're too
busy. Right? You have your career. You're trying
to get yourself established, trying to make money.
You're getting married. You're having kids. You're you're
starting a family.
You gotta try to find a house. You
(18:22):
gotta pay that mortgage. All those things.
Think about schooling. Think about retirement. All those
normal things that, is part of the American
dream. But when it comes to political stuff,
sometimes people have such a distaste in their
mouth. And, also,
you know, national politics is exciting, right, presidential
every four years. But when it's the local
(18:43):
stuff that's around the corner that affects you,
especially this the the content that's in,
a public library or your school library. Obviously,
that's that's Very important. And yet, we had
we we had votes on that by Republicans.
It shouldn't have ever had. Yeah. I'm sorry.
It's very disappointing when you have Republicans that
vote for sexually explicit material to be in,
(19:04):
minors and other children's school libraries. It's just
I'm sorry. There's no excuse for that. And,
again, getting involved
at the local level, county, whatever that may
be is is very important. It has to
happen. Yeah. We have to do it,
and that's why we talk about it so
often because we wanna prompt others to, you
know, it could be people 50 and over.
(19:25):
You're gonna have to talk to your youngsters
about it. You're gonna have those youngsters being
21 and over,
about this. Anyway, this is Ann Baker together
with Brian Fitzherbert on talking with Ann and
Fitzherbert, Friday. Stay with us. We'll be back.
W o n d Pleasantville. You're talking with
Anne on new stock fourteen hundred and ninety
(19:46):
two point three, w o n d. Good
morning, everyone. This is Anne Baker together with
Brian Fitzherbert. I'm talking with Anne and Fitzherbert
Friday.
And,
you know, Brian and I are very concerned
actually about the direction that our state may
take if we continue on with another Democrat
governor Yeah. Who is absolutely awful. She doesn't
know very much, and yet she's been given
(20:08):
a lot of money by people who know
that she doesn't know very much, simply want
things to continue down the road they're going
according to the communist Phil Murphy. Yeah. So
this is again, so we got November 4.
We've got the gubernatorial election coming up. Jack
Ciattarelli is a Republican. Let's all go vote
for him. And, truthfully, any Democrat or independent
listening, here in South Jersey, you it would
(20:28):
behoove you to vote for Jack Ciattarelli because
I don't think Mikey Sherrill is gonna spend
much time or interest in anything South Jersey.
She's gonna be focused on North Jersey. So
I would encourage that. And I'm concerned because,
again,
we have,
odd year off year elections here in New
Jersey. Virginia is the only other state in
the union that has gubernatorial election this year.
(20:49):
And the amount of national
Democrat ad by slash reservations for Philly and
New York markets for Mikey Sherrill is a
$120,000,000
last publicly available information. For national Republicans, it's
zero.
That's concerning. Obviously,
the the individuals,
here in New Jersey, Jack Chedarelli and Mikey
(21:10):
Sherrill can raise money. They get a taxpayer,
match in terms of whatever they raise
to,
be dispersed to their campaign to spend on
on campaign activities, etcetera.
And they're about one they're about even one
to one. It's about 1,500,000
give or take for both of them in
this last, disbursement.
But this should be very, very simple for
(21:31):
the voters of New Jersey. If you are
very frustrated with the cost of living and
taxes,
what makes you think that putting another Democrat
in like Mikey Sherrill is gonna be any
different than what the last eight years have
been under Phil Murphy? Whereas Jack Turley has
has promised to not only freeze property taxes,
but try to find ways to make us
more cost effective as a state from a
(21:53):
bureaucratic standpoint from a budget. We have a
$60,000,000,000
budget, and yet nearly,
at least 10% of that
is spent
on illegal aliens that do not belong here.
They need they need to go.
So there's there's the cost and there's the
taxes. And then there's even further. We have
these utility bills that are off the charts
that is a result of Democrat
(22:14):
policy Terrible. Of the last
well, I mean, give it since the turn
of the century. Right? The Democrats have control
of the state senate and the general assembly
since the turn of the century, 02/2001. Right?
That's the last time the Republicans had any
control of any chamber in the majority. So
you're talking twenty five years, quarter of a
century, of Democrat policies that have led this
led us all here to this moment, including
(22:35):
policies that have pushed us from a net
exporter of energy, having the amount of power
plants we've had across the state, to a
net importer of energy that, again, to my
friends on the left, isn't your nice little
clean energy that you're always bragging about. We're
getting this from West Virginia and other places
that do it based on coal in Pennsylvania.
So, again, we've weakened ourselves from an energy
(22:56):
standpoint. We've taxed ourselves into oblivion. We've made
it so, guess what, young people can't find,
quote, unquote, jobs anywhere. So guess what? They
go elsewhere. They leave. And you know who's
gonna follow them? Their parents, their grandparents.
Any other family members will follow them too.
And so, again, we have a real shot
to take a,
take a bite out of things, hit the
brake pedal,
(23:17):
get a Republican in there for maybe four
to eight years. And granted, it's gonna be
harder because the idea that we might get
a majority in one of the chambers is
is probably objectively
very difficult to do. Mhmm. And, however, the
constitution
in New Jersey is the most powerful executive
in the country. So the Jack Charlie can
do a significant amount again, but it's not
(23:37):
based in,
hardcore law legislation. So it's it'll be a
four to eight year brake pedal
on things that could be made better in
the meantime.
So there's a lot of opportunity, but, again,
what makes you think anything's working
when you have individuals that can't even afford
a mortgage? Forget the mortgage. The down payment.
(23:59):
Do you find a house, even a starter
home, whatever that may be, the jobs? What
what business is gonna do anything
different than what they have been in New
Jersey because it's just not business friendly. You
can you can pass legislation to try and
push,
preferred industries, but, again, you got your crony
capitalism in there because then it's based on,
you know, who the politicians know and how
(24:20):
much, you know, leverage there's gonna be with
that, and it's all temporary.
But you gotta have a change. If it's
not working,
get off the highway. You can't keep cruising
down to this point of massive debt. And
we got a whole lot of other problems
that,
you know, for the most part is is
baked in our culture here in New Jersey,
(24:40):
but this can't continue when property taxes,
you know, continue to go up, and you're
talking double digits in some places here in
South Jersey. Obviously, North Jersey is between 30
and $40,000,
per household for property taxes. So it's just
not sustainable.
And, truthfully, if Jack Shirelli isn't successful
on November 4, I fear a mass exodus
(25:02):
of, probably Republicans and conservatives from the Garden
State. And at the same time, if this
lunatic in New York City, mom Donnie,
is successful in New York City, which is
looking unfortunately likely, that all the same Democrats
and independents
are gonna be like, yep. This is too
much for us. Socialist, communism, we're out, and
they come over the river into North Jersey,
and then they continue voting Democrat. And then
we have an even bigger chasm,
(25:25):
with regard to registration in the state. It's,
again, get your friends, get your nonpolitical friends,
and tell them to vote for Jack Charley
on November 4, and vote down the line
for Republicans. If you don't like it, independents
and Democrats, if you don't like it, guess
what? You can throw them all out in
two years in the state assembly and and
the senate, and you can you can basically
(25:48):
keep it limited. And then after that, then
you can decide whether or not Jack's vision
has made it better here in New Jersey
to to fix things. Otherwise, we're we're on
a path that a lot of people can't
follow, and they're gonna be looking for the
exits if, things don't change on November 4.
They have to.
When we consider
(26:10):
simply consider our electric bills, and that's the
elderly as well as Yeah. Young families,
You've seen them double and triple.
And
because of an auction that now we have
to we have to bid against other states
that need or want this energy,
and we're sitting here. We've closed down so
(26:30):
many of our energy resources
under mister Murphy Six shots. That really that
should have never ever been touched, and yet
that's what this this guy did. Yeah.
And and this this is where this is
where
this is where I get even more frustrated
because when we're talking about future
business endeavors that include data centers, artificial intelligence
(26:53):
so much energy. We need a a tremendous
amount of energy. And, you know, they have
all these business plans, these visions,
on what
is gonna happen in the Garden State,
but they haven't followed through that. Okay. Well,
how do you actually
systematically and from a structure standpoint make this
happen? Because you need energy to do it.
And,
(27:13):
again, there's gonna be I suspect in in
the coming years and decades that these deep
dark blue states that are so not business
friendly
are not gonna be businesses driven. They're going
to be your place where you store things.
And, again, that's where data centers could be
a huge plus or warehouses and distribution.
But if you don't even have the energy
(27:34):
to sustain
said data center, then you're really screwed.
And that's the path we're on. Look. When
you're going the wrong direction on the highway,
what do you do? You don't keep going
the wrong direction. You get off the exit
and you turn around
where you made the mistake. The mistake was
closing all these power plants. They need to
be replaced. They need to be rebuilt. You
(27:55):
need to also get into more twenty first
century technology of of these miniaturized nuclear capabilities.
Mhmm.
Obviously, submarines still use nuclear capabilities, everything in
between, and,
abandon this nonsense of wind and solar that
is not cost effective. You cannot store this
energy. You cannot do anything from
a over inch I mean, the fact that
(28:16):
they're still subsidized by government to make them
work tells you that it doesn't work. So,
again, this is a simple
one and zero
difference in terms of vision. You wanna continue
on the highway going the wrong direction
like we are with Phil Murphy, then vote
Mikey Sheryl because where you're going is an
abyss you don't wanna be. You wanna stop
(28:37):
and fix this, get off the highway at
the next exit, turn around, and get us
back on track, and that's Jack Cheaderelli. Yeah.
We have,
we've heard Jack. We have seen him come
very, very close
to winning the last election against mister Murphy
by three points.
And, it's like he has a vision for
New Jersey. He's a New Jersey guy. The
(28:59):
family his family's been in New Jersey for
over a hundred years. He's planning on, you
know, after this term
and if he's does a great job the
next term,
that's it. He is finished with politics. I
mean, he's still a relatively young man. Yeah.
He's in his early sixties. And look, again,
the
I have to objectively look at this because,
(29:20):
yes, in 2021, he lost by three points,
85,000 votes.
And granted, different political environment. Joe Biden was
the president. Republicans,
had the chance to to to basically make
their voice heard, which they did, and he
came back close to taking out incumbent Phil
Murphy. Now in the four years since, unfortunately,
people have died. People have turned 18. People
have moved into New Jersey. People have left
(29:41):
New Jersey. It's a different political environment because
Donald Trump is now the president.
The economy is a lot significantly better than
it was. However, there's still this is the
first chance for national Democrats to more or
less give the proverbial middle finger to Donald
Trump and Republicans
from last year's election victory, which, again, this
is where things from a political historical standpoint
are not on our side. However, that doesn't
(30:02):
mean you don't keep grinding away and talking
about the vision and using easy ways to
connect with voters. You want things to continue?
Fine. Vote for Mikey Sherrill, who is Phil
Murphy two point o, Kamala Harris two point
o. I mean, I don't know if there's
much of, a brain between those two ears.
But when you see countless,
(30:24):
instances
where you can be propped up to run
out the clock, which is, again, this is
my concern. The national Democrats have hundreds of
millions of dollars in reserve time to prop
up this woman where national Republicans have not
necessarily taken the same interest in New Jersey.
They've shown more interest in the state of
Virginia,
which, again, you need resources to get the
message out. Especially look. For instance, I'll use
(30:47):
the example. Locally, we have Republican organizations.
Right? You have maybe 200 or so county
committee people and then the four or five
people that run the the executive board, and
yet there's thousands upon thousands of actual Republican
voters. How do you reach them, get them
to come out when our voter participation rate
is, like, 25%?
(31:07):
That's not good. You need to do more.
You need to do as much as you
possibly can.
Everyone has to make phone calls. Everyone has
to talk to their to their neighbors, to
the people they run into at ShopRite every
week or or Acme or whatever grocery store
you go to and talk to the people
who aren't as ingrained in politics and convince
them to go to the polls for one
(31:27):
reason or another because and you gotta ask
for these people's vote. People want to be
asked for their vote. Yeah. It's very simple
to do that, although
you need massive amount of resources
to do that and to get your name
out there. And, again, not to put a
damper on this, but, again, Jack Turner has
been running for governor for quite a few
times now to raise his name ID, to
(31:47):
raise the amount of money, to get to
this point. If he'd if he's successful, great.
If he's not successful, this is very,
very bodes not good for future Republicans that
wanna run statewide. That's gonna take them a
decade
to raise their name ID, raise the amount
of funds to be competitive
in a state like New Jersey where Republicans
are outnumbered by 800,000
(32:08):
registered voters. Wow.
Well, when you think of it like that,
you also think that New York, if they
actually elect,
Ma'am Dani,
to the financial,
capital of the world. Yeah. New York City,
if they get a a communist to run
a, financial
district like New York City,
then what can New Jersey expect? New Jersey
(32:31):
and New York and perhaps Massachusetts
and Delaware, they can all come together
to die as far as I can see.
Because, economically,
that's where they're headed if they keep putting
in place
these socialist,
communist Democrats. You put Connecticut in there too,
and I know
firsthand. Look, there are plenty of businesses that
(32:52):
are headquartered in New York City for the
reason that is financial capital of the world,
even though they're not in banking or finance.
There's going to be a mass exodus. There's
no question about it because it's just not
worth it. They're not gonna pay these taxes
this guy is talking about that he'll have
a super majority on city council to pass
through. So you're going to see an exodus
of a lot of companies which is going
(33:13):
to create probably a a downturn
in, from a real estate standpoint, from a,
a usage standpoint. And like I said, you're
gonna have a lot of individuals, Democrats,
of course, Republicans that are left, but Democrats
and sane independents that are gonna be like,
this is too much. We're going over the
river, and we're gonna impact a place like
New Jersey.
And,
(33:34):
ultimately,
I mean, this is how things fall and
collapse. They're done from the inside
because they keep pushing this stuff that is
not
mathematically or financially or economically
sane
to do this. All these all these proposals
this guy has, all you have to do
is look on his website. I mean, it's
not even like he's hiding them. He's literally
putting them on there that he wants to
(33:54):
tax white wealthy neighborhoods more
just because of the block or the street
name they're on to get more access to
funds, which again is unconstitutional and it's discriminatory.
So all this stuff is just really bad.
It's really bad because if that happens in
New York, guess what?
Same people are coming here to New Jersey,
and they're taking their politics with them. Yeah.
(34:17):
That's the problem.
But if people bother to do any research
whatsoever on the backgrounds of the people who
are in office,
whether it's Hochul,
whether it's Phil Murphy,
whoever it is.
You have to remember that Democrats, by and
large, who gain power, keep power because they
are corrupt.
We saw Bill de Blasio, who was the
(34:39):
mayor of New York City,
before mister Adams.
His wife,
Chirlane
McCray,
stole close to a billion dollars.
She got that money through her husband's power,
and it was supposed to be for the
mental health of all of the, citizens of
of New York City.
(34:59):
We don't know
where 1¢
of that money went. She kept no receipts,
but she got close to a billion dollars
in taxpayer funds. How is it that the
citizens of New York City could possibly vote
for another Democrat knowing that they are being
stolen from by every Democrat politician that's ever
(35:20):
been there? They either don't believe it or
they don't know it, which both answers
are not good.
And even more, I mean, in a corporate
company,
this stuff would never fly because there's
this is again, this is my being naive
because I assume that the way things are
done in corporate America and what I've been
(35:40):
exposed to the last fifteen years is how
everything operates. And it's not because nobody follows
the law. Nobody,
is audited.
Nobody, is in a situation. And if there's
no media to, shine a light on things,
then people do things because people don't talk
about them. People don't know them, and people
get away with things. And it's the same
thing with that. I mean, she was paid
to be a videographer,
(36:00):
on top of all of that stuff, and
it's just insane the amount of money that's
stolen. We've seen that with Doge efforts from
the national level that all these,
nonprofits that are formed with a $100 deposit
and then all of a sudden they get,
a million hundreds of millions of dollars deposited
into their nonprofit or their NGO.
It's utterly insane. And this is this is
why we have a huge problem because people
(36:21):
grift. They come close to government and they
grift.
And if there's no,
for instance, government's my customer, but guess what?
I have thousand page federal acquisition regulations that
I have to follow to make sure that
things are done appropriately. Otherwise, the company gets
sued, etcetera, etcetera, and then you're then you're
in in court forever. That's not the same
(36:43):
on a state level or even a county
level or municipal level. There's not that kind
of oversight, and there's not a media
that also a free press, for instance, that
can keep them accountable because a lot of
people in the, quote, unquote, free press
are in bed with them.
And when you don't have W 0 N
D Pleasantville. W 223 C 0 Atlantic City.
You are talking with Ann on News Talk
(37:05):
+1
o n d.
Good morning, everyone. This is Ann Baker together
with Brian Fitzherbert on Talking with Anne and
on Fitzherbert, Friday.
Yeah. Anne, thanks again for for having me.
I I just wanted to comment one last
thing on this horrific,
shooting tragedy in Minnesota.
And, again, what you see in terms of
(37:25):
the responses
are typical of your left wing and your
liberals and your Democrats.
We need to stop normalizing mental disorders. We
need to have parents and guardians that are
who were responsible, whether or not this is
a minor or not in terms of who
committed the crime. Those parents or guardians are
responsible for what these actions and how they
were raised. They need to be start charging,
(37:47):
and we need to go back to involuntary
committals
because clearly, mental disorders
are taking a huge effect. We have to
stop normalizing.
They're not normal, and we need to make
actions. It's not taking away guns because these
lunatics will find another way to kill people.
It's not red flag laws. It's not any
of this stuff. It's highly mental disorders. We've
(38:07):
attempted to normalize that the left and the
Democrats have tried to say that this is
fine. It's okay. It's not.
Stop normalizing it. Have the parents and guardians
be held accountable for what they brought into
this world and the actions and decisions of
those individuals
as well as involuntary committals. Very simple. Yeah.
Simple for us,
(38:28):
but, not so simple, I guess, for the
families whose children
start veering off. And why do they veer
off? You have to ask yourself, is it
because of what they're learning in
school? What the mandates are telling you you
have to do in order to sexualize these
children to make them consider themselves, grooming them.
Exactly.
So,
this is something that if Jack Ciattarelli is
(38:50):
is in,
is in the office of the governor here
in New Jersey. That will end.
That will end. There will be no more
grooming. There will be no more mandates coming
down from the board of education that's in
Trenton that tells every other board of education
and all the teachers and the the unions,
of course, who support them because they they
go for woke.
(39:10):
This this has got to end, and it
will end under Jack Ciattarelli. And every parent
should be out there applauding the fact that
Jack Ciattarelli is running for office and wants
to end this kind of debacle,
which is so deleterious to the to to
the minds and and souls and emotions of
our children.
Look. This is what happens when things get
infected,
(39:31):
on a education basis, on a sports basis,
on every everywhere you look where this grooming
nonsense continues, it's gotta stop. November 4, go
Jack, try early. Oh, you betcha.
Brian Fitzherbert, as always,
you have such wonderful input. I love having
you on.
Normally, I would be asking you about the
weaponry that is coming down the pike that
(39:52):
will
protect each and every one of us and
that will be sold to Ukraine and the
EU will be part and parcel, and all
the contracts will come together so that we
will have what is it? The amendment five
of NATO? Article five. Article five of NATO
will, in fact, not even be needed because
it's gonna be all about the money and
the contracts. Yeah. Give them the tools, if
(40:14):
that is the will of the people, if
that is the decision that's made.
There's plenty of things that can be done
with that, and we're always making cool stuff
in the industry. It's always fun to be
part of. I love it. Brian Fitzherbert, my
love to you, to the Loopster that I
saw the other night, to Catherine,
who allows you to get away with murder,
by the way. And, you have a absolutely
(40:35):
wonderful Labor Day weekend. My love to all
of you, and, we'll see you soon. Absolutely.
Thanks for having me. My pleasure, my friend.
Anyway, this is Anne Baker.
