With my good friend, Brian.
Hey. Good morning, Brian. How the heck are
you?
Good morning, Anne. I'm doing well. Thanks for
having me. Oh, no. No. Thanks for giving
us your very, very precious time.
And it it it it is. It absolutely
is.
I don't know whether you've got any topic
that you're really hot to get into. I
know
a lot of,
being a part of the weapons industry
for so many years,
you have seen changes.
You have seen,
where
perhaps
we're not producing weapons as quickly as we
need to produce weapons.
You probably have so much more insight, the
99.999%
of us.
And, that's one area that I'd like to
get to, but there's another. And it's well,
actually, two. The Save Act and the Birthright
Citizenship. So
these are all really important issues, so you
can take off on whichever one you want.
Okay. Let's start with the Save Act. So
the Save Act is federal legislation to require
ID to vote.
Whatever election you're in, you need to show
your ID.
And
how you need an ID to check into
a hotel.
You need an ID
to get into a bar. You need an
ID to buy alcohol, cigarettes,
anything else. You need an ID to get
on an airplane.
You need an ID for everything
except to vote. And this is where the
democrats
claim, as you saw earlier this week, Senator
Chuck Schumer,
is saying that this is Jim Crow two
point o, which couldn't be further from the
truth given
that consistent polling and Harry Enton from CNN,
who charismatically
described
it doesn't even break down by race. 85%
plus,
whether you're white, whether you're Hispanic, whether you're
Asian descent, whether you're
black, all support voter ID at the polls.
So what is the problem? What is the
problem with the Democratic leadership?
And for that matter,
elected Democrats
for not supporting something so simple that the
rest of the world has in their elections
to create secure,
trusted elections.
And the only conclusion
that any normal
common sense layman can come to is the
Democrats don't want to to allow
the opportunity
for cheating and everything else to allow
noncitizens
and non,
and whoever else you wanna call them to
vote in our elections when only American citizens
are allowed to vote in our elections. And
as we know from even in New Jersey,
the the moto voter law,
you go to the driver's license in a
state where they issue driver's license to illegal
aliens and noncitizens who do not belong here,
you can register to vote. And it's the
honor system.
It's the honor system
to say that, hey. I'm signing this saying
that, yep. I'm
I'm legally
allowed to be here, and we all know
that that never turns out to be the
case. So this Save Act has many, many
cosponsors on the Republican side.
Again, to pass legislation
and to cut off the filibuster, you need
60 votes. You need two eighteen in the
house, 60 votes in the senate, and the
president's signature.
This will no doubt pass the house with
two eighteen votes. The senate needs to get
to 60, which means we have 52, 53
republicans.
We need to get seven or eight. You
can probably count on Fetterman, but then you
gotta figure out the other Democrats to come
over. And, truthfully, this shouldn't be complicated. This
should be very, very simple.
Why wouldn't
anyone, regardless of political party, say, yep. It's
probably a good thing. We need to make
sure that the right people
are allowed to vote and that a simple
proof of citizenship
and identification
can make that happen.
Yeah. It's so disturbing to me,
that
it's the Democrats
who don't want people,
of
anyone
to actually have to identify themselves at the
polls.
And, you know, we just listened to a
short story about a four year old who
was,
going to be,
called in for jury duty,
which leads me to believe that perhaps they
look at the,
the birth that occur in all of our
counties, our cities, our states,
and maybe they put them on the voter
rolls as well. Until we do a deep
dive and investigate this, we will never know
just
how
how much illegality
has taken place
to
make our elections
not free at all,
not just.
So
I don't know. I don't know, Brian. Well
well, it's even further than that, Anne, because
what else besides the polling
that literally a super, super majority, meaning 85%
or more
of the American populace
supports this, what else came out with regard
to,
potential impacts of political power? We saw the
forecast. We are four years out. It's 2026.
We do the census every decade,
for what may happen
with regard to the political landscape.
What does that mean? It means that the
states that are losing population, which are all
blue states,
are going to lose electoral votes and congressional
districts. Every state has the two senators plus
the amount of congressional, which congressional districts and
seats, which then gives them the their electoral
college power.
When you have California
and New York and Illinois,
and probably New Jersey is gonna be in
that mix, but according to this forecast, it's
not in there yet, and I'll I'll talk
to you on that in a minute, is
that there's going to be a net seven
losses
of congressional seats in blue leaning states that
typically vote for democratic candidates on the presidential.
On the other side, you have places like
Florida and Texas and Tennessee
that are getting a net seven. So that
means 14.
Right? 14 electoral votes are going likely into
a Republican candidate's column in 2032.
Now what does that mean? That means for
a presidential candidate to get to 270
as a Republican,
they do not need the blue wall states
that Trump won two out of three times,
three if if you wanna have some more
discussion on it, of Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
That means
that the Democrats have to get a state
like Arizona
or Georgia on top of their blue wall
to even have a fighting chance to win
the electoral college. So, obviously, this is creating
a lot of heartburn for the Democratic party
because
why are people moving?
Because they want to. They can't take the
political atmosphere that they're in
in high tax, high cost living places. Now
New Jersey is not tent right there to
be forecasted
to lose electoral
vote because there's bluer states than New Jersey
that are losing population. And New Jersey is
unique because as much as we have people
that leave the state of New Jersey, they
get replenished in North Jersey by those that
leave New York City.
So there's there's kind of a snake,
impact there. However, four years is a long
time. And now that we have a governor
like Mikey Sherrill in place,
I suspect and theorize
that that population,
migration out of the state in New Jersey
will probably be accelerated
faster than New York City,
exodus can replenish the state of New Jersey.
So what does that mean? We have 12
congressional districts, right, plus two senators, so you
have 14 electoral votes for the state of
New Jersey. If I'm the Democrats and I
have a super majority in the state legislature,
which they do, and the Governor's Mansion, which
they do,
what am I going to do? We have
three Republicans
and nine Democrats across those 12 congressional districts.
Sadly to say, it's likely that Tom Kane
up in North Jersey will probably lose his
seat this year. That's just that's probably likely
reality. So that leaves just Chris Smith in
Ocean Monmouth County, which is a Republican bastion,
and then congressman Van Drew down here in
South Jersey that has Kate May, which is
a conservative bastion as well as, you know,
tips of Ocean County in Salem, and then
you got competitive counties
like Cumberland, Gloucester, and Atlantic. So if I'm
the Democrats
and I can change this with the census
of the end of the decade, I've got
all the power to do what I want.
We're gonna pick up a seat. We may
lose a seat, but even if we don't
miss lose a seat,
I can redraw the districts
and make it very, very difficult. And the
most likely
scenario
would be that those would merge
congressman Norcross in the first district with those
of congressman Van Drew's district to make it
very, very difficult for congressman Van Drew to
get elected after the end of the decade
or a republican generically, whatever. However you wanna
talk about it. So regardless if New Jersey
loses a seat or not, the state legislature
and the Governor's Mansion is controlled by the
Democrats, and they will take a page, and
Mikey Schorrel has even said this, that she'll
take a page out of Gavin Newsom's playbook
to redraw districts that are more favorable.
So this is all about political power. This
is all about the possibility because New Jersey's
again, New Jersey is not in the forecast
today. However, four years from now, a lot
of things can change. And New Jersey may
be in it. New Jersey may not be
in it where they lose a congressional district.
Either way, when you redraw the lines, it
is not gonna be favorable for Republicans.
And truthfully, the likelihood
is that Chris Smith is the only or
the 4th District or whatever that mutates into,
will be the only Republican congressional district after
the decade, which is which is horrifying. It
is horrifying.
We've already seen Mikey, Cheryl, who you we
I don't know what the, outcome of the
election to take her place in congress will
show, but most definitely, it's it certainly seems
that the Democrats
have the power. And Yeah. It's likely.
Yeah. Yeah. I would think so.
So the Save Act you know, I I
find the Save Act and what the Democrats
say about it when they talk about,
what it is,
I find it to be disgusting.
I find them
to be,
the most horrific
kinds of corrupt people
who would
look down their noses
at black, brown, white,
whomever,
anyone,
and say,
You don't have
the ability
to come into a polling place
and show
face ID,
ID that is state
there's an imprint,
can't be copied.
I
I am so appalled
at the Democrats. I am so appalled at
Chuck Schumer, that that corrupt
millionaire that's in Congress and is so
so bad.
Yeah. And, again, the things that they say
are the most insulting
racist
comments anyone can say. The Democrats consistently point
out that this is an attack on minority
voters,
And that is that's them implying that minority
voters
are are too stupid to get their own
identification. This is what the Democrats believe. Nobody
thinks it's complicated to figure out where your
DMV or your motor vehicle commission or wherever
you need to get a government issued ID
to make sure that you have a, you
know, your six points
your your six points of ID,
you know, in the form of birth certificate,
social security number, all that kind of stuff.
That is not complicated. More is it a
cost of significance because you can do it
for less than $40.
And if all this stuff is really about
I mean, again, you and I and most
of the listeners already know what this is
about. This is about controlling
and making sure that there's still an opportunity
for noncitizens, illegal immigrants, and other people that
are not qualified to be able to vote
in our elections to have a say. Again,
this is the diametric difference between assimilation
and
basically trying to recreate the the, for lack
of a terms, the place you left behind
to come here.
And, again, this they try to say, well,
there's no problem. It's already illegal for noncitizens
to register to vote in elections. So why
are we doing this?
Yet there's states like New Jersey and California
that allow driver's license to go to illegal
aliens,
which also allows them the opportunity to register
to vote. We've seen many instances of illegal
aliens registering to vote and many instances
of noncitizens
voting in our elections.
Yeah. Yeah. And anyone who would deny it
is,
they're just not very truthful.
Brian, I I find,
birthright citizenship
to be a real,
I I actually fear it. That if we
don't get this straightened out
because apparently the Chinese have come over in
droves,
had their babies here, which makes them citizens
with birthright citizenship,
goes back to China, is, inculcated with
communist teaching,
and then they come back when they're 18
to vote.
What do you make of this, and how
can we stop it?
Yeah. So, the Trump administration has taken many
steps, which has now forced the Supreme Court
to come in and make a decision. And
it's likely that by the end of the
June session, we'll have an answer with regard
to the interpretation of the constitution. Because, again,
the intent behind the constitutional amendment was
to grant citizenship
to slaves that had been here and that
are subject to the jurisdiction thereof, those five
important words. And
then what's gonna come down to this is
well, let me take a step back. There
is no other country on planet Earth that
has birthright citizenship
to the magnitude that has been interpreted today
here in The United States. Just because you
are on American soil does not make you
and you're born here does not make you
an American citizen. However, that's been interpreted that
way. And that's what Donald Trump's administration is
challenging that you and your parents need to
be subject to the jurisdiction
of The United States.
And there's many debates on this. So they're
trying to go off of a 100 year
old,
decision
by the Supreme Court, but it was very,
very different. It had to do with actually
Chinese national. Yeah.
However,
today,
again, use break this down to the simplest
example.
If you get on a plane
and you are coming to New York City
for a,
UN summit, right, and you're from another country,
and you bring your your wife who's pregnant,
and you happen to wind up staying here
longer than you anticipated, and that child is
born in The United States, that child is
not an American citizen because those guests
are citizens of another country and subject to
the jurisdiction
of that country, not our country, because they
have no connection here,
and neither does the child that's born
here. And yet when you have illegal aliens
that cross the border
and they're pregnant and they come over here
and they give birth in a hospital, or
to your example, the Chinese have the vacation
trips where they
have,
Chinese national
women come here pregnant, give birth in California,
get the citizenship, go back to China, then
come back and try to disrupt our elections
when that person's 18.
That's a problem, And that is not what
it's meant to be. Again, the intent behind
the fourteenth amendment
was to give citizenship full citizenship rights to
black slaves, and it's been warped and everything
in between. And I suspect
that the way the Trump administration issued their
executive order and how the Supreme Court will
read it and respond
will remove this. The question is, what is
the fix
for those or if there is even a
fix, Do all the people that have been
born here that have not been the subject
of jurisdiction,
how do we get them out? That well,
that is a congressional action. And just like
we saw with Obamacare, not to use this
as an example, but the supreme court can
rule on something and say, we're saying that
this has been unconstitutional.
Guess what? Congress has to fix this. So
what is the most likely outcome is that
there's a massive limbo situation for these individuals
unless they leave on their own and try
to do things,
appropriately. And this is where it can get
really, really, really, really complicated
because, again, there's there's those that rely on
their passion, their emotion, and everything else, and
then those that read and interpret the law
of the land. We're not a nation of
men and women. We're a nation of laws,
and we need to uphold those laws and
if those laws are interpreted by the supreme
court
one of the three equal branches of government
whether something's constitutional or not and or whether
or not donald trump in this case donald
trump's executive or
stripping citizenship from those that were never subject
to the jurisdiction of The United States,
then it becomes viable. So it's gonna be
very, very complicated, but the Trump administration has
taken the steps that it can from the
executive branch
to address this, where the legislative
branch, Congress, has not, and the Supreme Court
will interpret that executive order probably, like I
said, at the end of the June session.
Yeah. It's a frightening concept to think,
because I watched when Biden Obama administration
opened up the borders, and all of these
pregnant women came across the border,
settled into these NGO warehouses,
had babies
so that they could provide them with birthright
citizenship.
And where those women went afterwards, whether they
went back to their country or whether they
insinuated themselves here,
those children were given the possible
citizenship
that maybe they didn't deserve and that we
can stop from,
continuing?
Yes. And real quick because I know we're
up against a quick break here. Again, the
idea is that if you are
born to two American citizens,
right, then your parents and you are subject
to the jurisdiction thereof. Right? But if you
are not American citizens and you just happen
to be on American soil and you give
birth, you are not subject to the jurisdiction
thereof and cannot confer birthright citizenship,
which then gives you a Social Security number
and access
to welfare and everything under the sun that
is at the expense of the taxpayer.
Unbelievable,
isn't it? Really? We we have to make
it up. No. I I know. I know.
We have to always be aware though of
what the other side is doing, that that
socialist communist,
participation
now of Democrats.
We have to be so aware of what
they're trying to do to our country.
And, certainly, you're out there, and you're
amazing. Anyway,
Brian and I
talk about all of, the the occasions of
sin committed by the Democrat party. It's like,
what do they want to do to our
country? What kind of legislation will we let
them pass
that will begin
more of the destruction that they've already put
in place?
What do you make of that?
Truly, Brian, these these people, the Chuck Shumers,
the, Hakeem Jeffries,
the,
Elizabeth Warrens,
the Bernie Sanders,
are we gonna allow them to continue to
try to chip away at our constitution or
bill of rights?
Well, so that ties into everything that we've
been talking about because the people that they
represent and that they serve as a vehicle
for for these, I mean, radical left wing,
more both progressive ideas is not the majority
of the country. It's not even a third.
Right? This is probably 25%
of the population.
And in terms of
voters, etcetera,
that they know they can never win,
which is why they're reacting
so adamantly
against, for instance, the Save Act, where 85%
of American citizens support this.
Why they're so adamant about securing the border
and stopping the illegal aliens from infiltrating
and, again,
being a the cause of a lot of
problems in terms of cost. You wanna know
why prices are so high from a housing
standpoint?
Blame illegal
immigration. Wanna know why health care costs and
health insurance costs are so much? Blame illegal
immigration.
Wanna know why property tax, school taxes, all
that stuff related
is so expensive and high? Because illegal immigration.
That's the biggest problem, and Trump and the
Republicans are trying to solve this.
And that ties into what we talked about
with the electoral college and the census in
four years where things will be remapped. The
ability for a Democrat candidate in 2032
to get to 02/1970
is becoming a lot harder,
a lot a lot harder.
So all this ties into the fact that
they want to hold on to power. I
mean, what do they have to run on
this year in the midterms?
The trans ideology that is mutilating
minors and children,
now they can't run on that because that's
an eighty twenty issue against them. They can't
run on the economy.
That's an eighty twenty issue in Trump's favor.
They can't run on national security.
Again, another thing in Trump's favor in the
Republicans. They have nothing except that Trump is
a bad man, and they want to impeach
him.
That's it. That's what it comes down to.
They have nothing. What are they gonna run
on
to make things better for a typical American
citizen?
They don't. They support illegal immigrants over American
citizens.
They support those
that are criminals
over law abiding citizens.
Case in point with Minnesota.
There is no majority
for them
other than lies
and distractions
and everything in between.
What could they possibly run on as a
platform other than Trump is bad?
Again, the economy, after four years and nearly
22%
of aggregate inflation
of Joe Biden and the Democrats that we're
trying to claw back, that's taking,
you know, it's been the first year. We
were able to clamp that down. We were
able to clamp down a lot of inflation,
and the costs are coming down because energy
is down. All of these things. What could
democrats possibly
run on other than what they're doing to
your point, these lies, these attacks on the
constitution,
and ways to erode
the value of citizenship.
The whole point of American citizenship and having
sovereignty, I e borders to protect so you
don't have people coming in that do not
belong here,
break it down to the smallest level. You,
me, anybody listening.
You have a place you live, whether it's
a house, whether it's a condo, whether it's
an Airstream, a trailer, an apartment, you name
it, whatever.
You are living in something, and you wanna
protect the things that are inside. That's why
we lock doors. That's why we have walls
around the things that we care about.
Why can that same thing be translated
to the country?
And if
who would oppose this would block, like, Trump
and everyone else. It it just blows people's
mind. Who would be
against ICE going into Minneapolis
prisons to get murderers and rapists who are
illegal aliens and deporting them? Who would stop
that?
Yet
progressives, liberals, and democrats think there's a problem
with that. They'd rather protect these murderers, these
rapists, and these absolute criminals
that are in our society,
and that's who they wanna fight for. Not
law abiding American citizens
Not you me or anybody listening or our
neighbors or our family or our friends. Nope.
Nope
Democrats want to protect criminals
and non citizens
How are you going to get elected unless
your goal is to get the votes from
those criminals and noncitizens?
Well,
I I I actually have to believe that
that
Pam Bondi should be doing a really good
job finding
out who it is that is paying off
the protesters
in these cities
where they initiate the chaos
that makes it seem like
our citizens
don't wanna see ICE agents removing violent criminals.
And I think it's a canard. I I
I absolutely
believe that most
reasonable
citizens, most educated
citizens, most people who have researched
this issue, just
five minutes worth of reading would help you
understand what's going on.
I don't
I need to find out who's giving money
to try to destroy our country from within,
whether it's in Minneapolis, whether it's in Chicago,
whether it's in LA, no matter where it
is.
I wanna find out who's doing it, and
I want to
damage them.
If they're in this country, I wanna pick
them up, prosecute them, and put them behind
bars. If they're outside of this country, I
want every money issued
from them to cross over the border to
these people stopped.
Could we do it?
We can, and I suspect by some of
the actions that attorney general Pam Bondi and
our treasury secretary Scott Bessen
are doing those very things because everyone kinda
downplays the role of the treasury secretary.
And Scott Bessen has been flexing
the muscle
of the treasury secretary for not just domestic,
but for foreign related activities.
And I like this guy. I mean, he
he's something else with regard to
using the leverage point. But, again, he comes
from the mold of Donald Trump. He's known
the Trump family for a very long time.
And, again, he's probably they've learned from each
other, and it's finding a position of leverage.
So I suspect,
you know, whether it's again, you know, if
I'm king for the day, I would absolutely
tax the living daylights out of any and
all remittance,
meaning any money that's wired outside of this
country.
Make it so impossible that you can't do
it and you have to do it through
other means that we have things like UPS
and the post office and other ways that
scan and and all that stuff so you
can't even ship cash.
And then what's the next thing? Then you
gotta travel within a suitcase and go through
an airport security. Obviously, we just learned what
happened in Minneapolis. Yeah. You had Somali nationals
that were working to allow this to go
through. So, yes, I think the the long
answer in a short form is yes. I
think there's something going on
because I see the actions of the attorney
general and the treasury secretary making strides towards
that. Yeah. We need to get rid of
all those businesses
that
have arisen
in Minneapolis and,
and other states as well, where we are
being scammed
because we simply don't investigate.
With all the bureaucracy that we find here
in New Jersey that increases the cost of
doing anything,
why isn't this happening in other states that
you
won't be able to open up a business,
won't be able to get money, scam money
through a business that really is not operating
at all?
Do you think we're going to get most
of the people who are involved, including perhaps
Mayor Frey's wife,
who is heavily involved in that,
do do you think we're ever going to
get these people to the point where we
can prosecute them?
I hope so because what this guy, Nick
Shirley, did in Minnesota that he's now doing
in California,
this is what the media should be doing.
This is what their job should be is
investigating and verifying this. I mean, the amount
of I mean, think about this. What Mehmet
Oz talked about, 500
businesses that filed Medicare and Medicaid claims
about a 100 about a million a pop.
Right? So we're talking about
nearly $500,000,000
at one building
in Minneapolis.
Why didn't anyone
on the state or local
or county or federal level well, look at
all these and do a simp and this
is gonna be the power of AI. This
is gonna be a very absolute tool that's
gonna be used in the government going forward
to be able to have the computing power
that clearly government employees
don't have with normal human power,
to be able to review
in microseconds
whether or not that address has been used
for something else before. What else is there?
Is this a warehouse? And investigate it before
granting permission
or an EIE number, EIN number, you know,
employee identification number, tax ID numbers, all that
stuff to be able to form an LLC,
to form a business, to get a bank
account, and to get cash unloaded into that
bank account.
In the in what you talked about in
these nongovernment,
entities, nonprofits, and other ways where they get
these grants, and it's just abuse and and
unbelievable
mess.
So you're gonna see a lot of this
revealed, then congress is gonna do their oversight
and bring it, and then you gotta refer
that to the justice department. And do we
have enough lawyers and people
in the department of justice under Pam Bonny
to do all this? We don't. We need
more time. We need a Vance Rubio,
ticket after this to continue on this work
for another four to eight years to make
this twelve year dent
and get rid of all this all of
this fraud,
trillions of dollars.
Again, once you solve all of this stuff,
you know, get you secure the border, get
illegal immigrants out of here that do not
belong here, stealing our benefits, stealing our money,
stealing everything under the sun, as well as
costing us more money in health care, in
schools, and in housing,
and you get rid of all this fraud,
we will be even more powerful than you
can possibly imagine as a country. We'll be
able to pay off debt, and Social Security
will not be in a situation in the
twenty thirties of being bankrupt because it's we
we won't be there. We will not be
in a scenario where we're economically weak because
there's all this fraud.
Yeah.
And it's
you know, this is just like the,
the first little wound.
And out of that wound came the pus
that is so incredibly
ugly
and the theft of our tax dollars
from people who became citizens. Why? Because mister
Obama wanted them to be in order to
to put the vote,
in his favor. You know, for all the
reasons that we allowed these people to come
across our border, settle in, and then steal
our money,
somebody needs to go to jail. I don't
know who it is, but somebody needs to
go to jail.
Thank you for being here, Brian. And I
I I figure you're gonna wanna talk about
something that you are in charge of,
and that is an upcoming event.
So
Yeah. Absolutely. No. Thank you as always. So,
one of the many hats that I have
is as president of Liberty and Prosperity, a
nonprofit organization located in Somers Point.
The organization
is
been around for twenty plus years, and it's
meant to inform and educate citizens about government
politics. And every year, we host a Washington
Lincoln,
annual fundraiser, $75
a ticket. It's gonna be at Josie Kelly's
on February 15 at 2PM.
And our keynote speaker this year is state
senator Michael Testa from the 1st Legislative District.
Now we try to highlight
those that embody New Jersey's motto, which is
liberty and prosperity.
That has a fundamental foundation of conservative principles,
which all of our speakers,
past, present, etcetera, excel. And it's a great
opportunity not only to hear their thoughts and
the battles and the crusades and the and
the wars that they're fighting in their,
environment, in this case with state senator Michael
Tessa, it includes
the state legislature
and Trenton and New Jersey as a whole
and how
the obstacles that are there, as well as
informing and asking questions on how do we
deal with,
you know, a lot of these roadblocks, especially
since our massive embarrassment
this past November,
statewide as well as locally where we got
Republicans in general. Now Liberian Prosperity is a
nonprofit organization. We invite Democrats
to come. They just don't come.
And they don't seem to wanna adhere to
fundamental constitutional
and, you know, conservative principles
that maintain within not just the state constitution,
but the federal constitution. And, again, we take
our namesake of liberty and prosperity off of
New Jersey's motto, which has been around since
the founding. And again, if you don't have
liberty, you can't get prosperity.
And this is what I continuously talk about
with the state of New Jersey,
especially,
excuse me, those that are, you know, around,
you know, twenties, thirties, and forties
in terms of age because
taxes are ridiculous.
Tolls
are ridiculous.
The cost of living
because, again, New Jersey is a sanctuary state,
sanctuary city policies, meaning they're confederate. They do
not adhere
or work with the federal government, and that's
that's a bigger problem in itself. But as
a result, they allow illegal immigrants into this
state. They do not have,
two eighty seven g,
or basically agreements
with the vast majority of sheriffs in each
of the 21 counties. And as a result,
by allowing the lawful,
the unlawful existence of illegal aliens to use
our health care systems driving the cost of
health insurance up using our schools driving the
cost of properties taxes up by having to
have oversized classes higher english as a second
language teachers, etcetera as well as the demand
for housing, whether that's apartments, etcetera, Airbnb rents,
rental homes, etcetera,
or other housing,
those costs go up.
So you can't have liberty
and prosperity
if there isn't a law abiding
environment to allow that freedom to take over.
So we have 11 points. You can check
them on libertyandprosperity.com.
Both myself and the founder and executive director
Seth Grossman are on radio frequently
throughout the week on multiple shows, multiple stations
talking about,
more or less conservative principles and ways that
we can maintain liberty and prosperity in the
state of New Jersey. We meet every Saturday
morning at, Sal's Coal Fired Pizza in Summers
Point at 09:30 to 10:30.
You You know, all are welcome. We'd love
to hear. We have great discussions. It's usually
a good turnout.
You can become a non voting member,
and then after,
basically, a year of commitments and and activities
and projects that you do, you can,
opine and ask to be considered a voting
member, which will vote on, etcetera,
to be part of our group. We reach
tens of thousands of people on a weekly
basis through our email as well as through
social media and our other radio messages. But,
again, this event at Josie Kelly's on February
15, it's a Sunday 2PM,
with state senator
Michael Testa talking about
all the things that he's dealing with and
trying to maintain conservative principles and conservative sanity,
while he is in the state senate and
the general assembly and the state legislature as
a whole. Republicans are in a super minority.
It is very difficult, and that's what it's
gonna be at a minimum for the next
four years. And, unfortunately, if you look at
this year as a midterm,
and you look at next year, I mean,
the Republicans are likely to lose another three
senators in,
the state legislature next year as well as
probably a couple,
assembly
men and women, which is unfortunate. So it's
it's a tall task, and he's gonna talk
about a lot of the challenges he has
in the state legislature as well as some
of the successes that he's had. Yeah. We
have to find the courage to speak out
against,
what the lies are that are spread
by left wing media, by left wing politicians,
by those who refuse to address the issues
as they are.
And when that happens,
people are
disturbed enough to say,
what's going on?
What's with these politicians? But they sometimes put
all the politicians in the same bucket.
And quite frankly, they don't belong there.
No. And that's, you know, that's what's so
amusing about the Republican Party because we have
more diversity
than the Democrats because we have conservatives.
We have constitutionalists.
We have tea partiers. We have Trump supporters.
We have never Trumpers. We have rhinos. We
have moderates. We we even have some progressive
Republicans for god's sakes. We have every
iota under the sun. And, again, I've you've
heard me say this. A Republican in New
Jersey is not the same as a Republican
in Texas or a Republican in Kansas or
a Republican in Massachusetts.
It's a it's a it's a differing degree,
and you wanna hope that we have conservative
primples. That's why you have a party platform,
all that kind of stuff. But
a Republican,
could have a worse voting score than some
Democrats
as there are in the state legislature right
now. There are Republicans that have a worse
voting record from a liberty score standpoint, from
a constitutional score standpoint than some Democrats.
That's pretty bad, and yet they run under
the Republican banner.
That is bad.
It's bad that they take our money in
order to run their campaigns,
but are in fact on the lip of,
the left wing
and aren't doing anything to really help the
citizens that might vote for them because they're
Republican.
Yeah, it's it's enough to really turn your
stomach sometimes. But then again, sometimes politics brings
in those who are
not the,
you know, people who have the most integrity.
And,
Yeah. You know, that was my, you know,
wake up because I naively thought that we
put the best and the brightest that these
people were fully vetted to the magnitude that
I've been vetted by the FBI to have
a security clearance that we go over. We
know exactly where they stand on all these
issues.
From a conservative standpoint, nope. None of that
happens. And a lot of the people that
are attracted to this only want power and
ways to enrich themselves personally, an extra $10,
an extra $15
that they can't make in their own, professional
life. I mean, it's really it really is
sad, and that's a reason why the best
and the brightest don't come because guess what?
They're too busy actually doing things that are
worth producibility
of things of value, and that's where their
time is. And that could be including a
professional and personal with your family. So it
is unfortunate. It's the world we live in.
It's the reality. We have to do the
best we can with what we got and
try to continue to provide an offensive line
for the conservatives,
like state senator Michael Testa,
to be able to get conservative principles across
so that we do have liberty and prosperity
in the state of New Jersey. We have
to. We absolutely have to. Thank you, Brian
Fitzherbert. Once more, you've given us your very
precious time. I know how hard you're working.
And for us to get an hour of
your time is spectacular. I wanna thank you.
I know that the people who listen to
the show, they sometimes listen just for you.
They wait for Fridays.
So thank you so much for being on
the show, Brian. I'll see you soon, my
friend.
Much love, and, God bless
you. Absolutely. Thanks for having me. Yeah. My
pleasure.
