No controversy here. We bring in the man,
the myth, the legend,
the one and only Seth Grossman, who I'm
sure will have, plenty to say about Bad
Bunny
and,
and other things. Seth, good morning, and welcome
to Talk With A Purpose.
Good morning. And, of course, I represent libertyandprosperity.com,
which, talks about how Liberty is the best
way to overcome
problems like, Goodell, the NFL, and Bad Bunny.
Because as long as you have freedom,
and that includes economic freedom,
you have economic power, and you can force
the powerful
to do what you want
even more than voting.
Now the,
the,
Tea Party or rather the the TP,
Turning Point rather, Turning Point USA,
that alternate show had about four or 5,000,000
people watching it.
Even with every handicap that they had to,
deal with.
And make no mistake,
Roger Goodell and the FL
NFL was furious
at at the fact that people had a
choice for the first time ever,
and they put a lot of pressure on
performers. There were supposed to be a lot
of other acts,
that were supposed to be in the alternate,
Turning Point show,
but they were told their careers would be
ruined. They would never find any other work,
if they took part in it.
So even with the second string,
my family watched it. My daughter, son-in-law, we
watched it with the the grandkids.
They loved it. They were singing along. They
identified with it. It was the great family
entertainment.
And that's gonna have an impact because,
this was done almost last minute with all
these obstacles.
And Goodell knows if he pulls this stunt
with Bad Bunny again,
I'm sure the Turning Point event or other
alternate events will will even double. And and
that's gonna hurt them in the pocketbook where
it counts,
and that's why freedom is so important.
Yes. I I agree with you. I agree.
Yes. It's By the way, I had a
lot of friends that said, a lot of
them, watched the Puppy Bowl.
Yeah. And I've seen a lot of comments.
I think the puppy bowl had, like, what,
20,000,000 people watching it at at at some
point. Yes. So the fact is if you
don't give people what they want,
and as long as we don't live in
a, a dictatorship
like Obama tried to impose on us. Remember
how when Obama,
was in office,
the,
you know, all the Facebook, all the Twitter,
all the YouTube, all the media
had to to promote a certain doctrine and
and certain culture. And if you didn't do
it, then you were the platform. You you
couldn't reach anybody.
You know, thank God for Elon Musk and
Trump for changing all that. So when you
have choices, people do pick choices, and that's
why liberty is so important. So I saw,
a silver lining,
there because, you know, when when Goodell did
his stunt before remember Goodell
when he had absolute control,
he trashed the national anthem.
He had,
Kaepernick kneeling.
Yes. When you had in in, Texas where
the,
the team wanted to have,
I guess, some
symbol
defending the police or or respecting the police.
They were told they cannot do it. Only
Black Lives Matter stuff was,
permitted.
So so look what they do when they
have absolute power. But I guarantee you next
year because of this experience,
they're gonna behave a little bit better. So
I'm I was not at all discouraged by
what happened last Sunday. Yes. And I know,
I wanted to talk to you about something
else,
but before that, just wanted to promote your
event tomorrow. It's a big event. You're
you're really fundraiser for the year,
and, that is tomorrow at 02:00. You wanna
talk about that?
Sure.
We
we depend on private donations.
We don't get funding from the government.
And like many charities, we don't get corporate
sponsors. You'll notice a lot of so called
charities. Well, they are good charities.
Who who funds them? You know, the the
bank, the Bank of America funds them, the
big drug companies, the hospitals, the gas company,
the electric company, all these corporate sponsors
that depend on some monopoly or special deal
from the government
to get their big profits.
We don't get any of that. We just
depend on individuals.
Many politicians hold these fundraisers, you know, where
they charge a $100 a ticket, $200 a
ticket.
And, obviously, the people who buy those tickets,
they expect some favor
or benefit in return.
We offer absolutely nothing other than
giving a point of view that tells the
truth on issues
where you really don't get the truth anywhere
else. So we have this one event every
February.
So tomorrow at 02:00,
Sunday, the fifteenth,
we're gonna have,
Republican senator Michael Tester will be the featured
speaker. There'll be a nice lunch. There'll be
a nice dessert. It'll be in Somers Point.
It'll be at Josie Kelly's Pub. Tickets are
$75.
Although we encourage you to pay in advance,
and you could drop your check off at
the office at, at 453
Shore Road in Somers Point.
Best way, go on the website,
at libertyandprosperity.com.
Hit the donate button.
We have a breakfast at Sal's Coal Fired
Pizza every Saturday morning. Bring your check there,
and you could and if you could, come
late, don't worry. We made arrangements. We could
set up a few extra tables if people
wanna pay at the door.
But even if you don't wanna come to
this event, if you could pay the $30
dues or make a tax deductible donation in
any amount,
we depend on February to to sort of
fund us,
through October. And so far, we have we
have enough money to get through July and
maybe August,
but we need a little bit more support.
So if anyone listening could help us, again,
by supporting the fundraiser,
whether you could come or whether you can
come, the $30 dues donation in any amount,
it's all tax deductible.
If you're afraid of, any repercussions,
it can be anonymous. It's up to you.
But we do need your support to stay
on this radio program,
to send our free weekly emails out, to
keep our website,
to do our Richard Summers event, to remember
America's first war against Islamic terror
when, Thomas Jefferson was president. So thank you
so much for for supporting us. And anyone
listening,
when when this is replayed, tomorrow afternoon,
at at 05:00,
you can always, listen to the speaker. We
we always take a a video, and we'll
be posting it on our website.
And, of course, you'd always make a donation
after the fact.
Sounds good.
One other thing. Okay?
Yeah. Few weeks ago,
when when I was last here,
you mentioned something about an immigration
quota.
And,
it was a good idea. And
Roscoe, one of our listeners,
said, you know, he suggested, why don't you
Seth and and myself, why don't we present
this to president Trump? And I thought, well,
that's that's a little bit of a stretch,
but,
why don't we present it to congressman Van
Drew? And that would be,
you and me going to his office and
saying, hey. Here's a here's an idea for
the immigration quota. So what what do you
think about that?
Well, one thing about liberty and prosperity is
we work as a group.
And while I was in Florida,
we had a majority of the group said,
no. They didn't like my plan. They don't
want any kind of an amnesty.
And and I'm, pointing out that if we,
right now, the majority of the American people
have turned against,
immigration enforcement, against all immigration enforcement.
And that if we don't find a way,
to reach out to the, you know, to
the or never have convinced the left, but
you have a lot of independent voters who
feel sympathy,
for people who have been in this country
for more than ten years.
And and remember, when you don't enforce the
law for ten years, then you say we're
gonna enforce the law,
it it's not always the fault of the
people who break a law who's not not
being enforced. You know?
We we could think of a whole lot
of examples. But anyway, our group
is still, talking about this. But one thing
I think we all agree on
and that is,
that when when America was great, we had
a limit of how many people, how many
foreigners could come to this country each year.
And that amount until 1965
was a 100,000
a year.
And it worked well because, you know, in
my own class, we had Richmond Avenue School
in Atlantic City in the nineteen sixties.
We'd have one or two people one or
two students who were from out of the
country, didn't speak any English. But within six
months, they all learned English, and they all
became more American than the rest of us.
So you just can't have 400,000
people coming each year on top of all
the illegals.
You've gotta limit it. And so I think
the idea of whatever
leniency or amnesty or whatever you wanna call
it for the best of the best
people who have not committed any crimes, it
still must be limited
to, roughly a 100,000
per year. And we must give priority to
the people already here as opposed to bringing
new people in. So we have to have
more discussions. And once we do reach an
agreement,
that'll be our first step to, have a
little sit down with, congressman Jeff Andrew.
He will tell us how to reach the
president or how to reach the president's advisers.
And he has a great working relationship with
the president. And Liberty and Prosperity has a
great,
relationship with congressman,
Van Drew.
And and this election is very important, and
we wanna make sure that this,
controversy over immigration does not cause problems for,
congressman
Van Drew. So we have a lot of
work ahead of us, but, it's a very
good idea and we were already working on
that. Yeah. So I I just wanted to
mention that to you.
And I and I told Roscoe, I said
we would deal with that after your fundraiser
because you're you're kinda busy with that now.
But, we will talk about that in the
future and, it it it's eventually something that
that we'll try to make happen.
We will. And and again, the the whole
purpose of Liberty and Prosperity, the more I
think about it, we just do stuff
that nobody else is doing. Because we do
not depend on corporate donations or government grants,
We're able to say things that no other
group can get away with. Otherwise, they'll they'll
be afraid of losing their funding.
And the other thing that's great about our
group is this combination of boomers.
I'd say two thirds to three quarters of
our group is all people who are born,
when and and and we were teenagers when
John Kennedy was president. You know, we were
taught, ask not what your country can do
for you. Ask what you could do for
your country. We were inspired back then, and
we know what a great country we had
back then.
But then a lot of us got fooled,
by what we now know were communist or
left wing groups who said that because America
was not a perfect country,
it was a bad country.
And we ended up changing
everything that made America great. And so we
have the knowledge of what we did back
then that worked
and how we can make America work again,
not by doing anything crazy or new, but
by doing stuff that worked in America for
three hundred years. And we have a great
relationship with,
our younger generation
x and Gen x,
and and our millennials,
you know, our Jesse Kurtz's and our Brian
Fitzherberts who are leaders in our organization as
well of passing that boomer wisdom,
back to, to the younger kids. And we're
not saying we're smarter.
We're saying we tried a lot of stuff
when we were young, and a lot of
it some of the stuff worked, some of
it didn't. And we're, you know, passing on
the wisdom of what worked so they could
do a better job. So, you know, that's
that's very important.
What what else is going on? I mean,
we we've talked about a lot of things,
but I know you have many other things
on your agenda today. Well, one of the
things that that's going on is the the
hands on practical advice
we give to, you know, people who are
having problems with,
with with what our radical left institutions are
doing. And a good example is Atlantic Cape
Community College.
So that college encourages
student activity,
and it gives money to the gay pride
club, the Asian cultural club, the black student
alliance.
So,
last month, the Christian club applied for funding,
and it was denied.
And, they were told, well, you can't get
funding because you're a religious group.
Although
what they were promoting, you know, basic bible
values, basic American values,
is really no different than what the gay
pride, the Asian Cultural Club, and the Black
Student Alliance did. So now they,
are got an organization,
the Alliance Defending Freedom, and they're getting involved
in in lawsuits.
And I I'm just reaching out to them,
but maybe someone knows about people in that
club to say, no. No. No. That's not
really the way to go. Because if you
say that our religious group is entitled to
public fund funding,
the next thing you're gonna see is you're
gonna see a Muslim club funded by taxpayers
at Atlantic Cape Community College, and you don't
wanna be doing that. What you do wanna
be doing is maybe form a New Jersey
history club or New Jersey,
American cultural club. Because if you did that,
you would understand how New Jersey
was founded in 1676
based on
those basic bible values that they wanna promote.
And if they would do it in that
way,
they'd be entitled to the full funding without
any problem,
and,
and they would avoid,
the precedent of giving money to the Muslim
club. So they're they're little practical tips that
that people who are just starting out don't
know, but those of us boomers who've been
through it
know that, you know, that there's a hard
way to do thing and an easy way
to do things. And sometimes,
you use your experience to do things the
easy way. And the other problem we we
have is,
Atlanta County and Cape May County Republicans.
You know, Atlanta Cape Community College
is run by the commissioners who used to
be the freeholders
of Atlantic and Cape May County,
including Dennity Levinson, who's gonna be your guest.
And yet even though Republicans have run the
community college
for the past thirty years,
it they picked a board that picked a
president who is as woke as woke could
be.
And it's just,
keeping people like me from teaching there or
have any presence there.
Just having all these, woke,
you know, hard left socialist anti American programs
at the college,
and it's run by Republicans. It's inexcusable. And
I'll give you one other example that's happening.
Before governor Murphy left office,
he promoted regulations that were devastating
to anyone who lives near the beach. You
know, you can't get a building permit to
do anything.
Everything's gonna be, a 100 times more expensive.
And right now, Cape May County, Ocean County,
and Monmouth County
are filing challenges to those outrageous rules, but
Atlanta County is not part of it. You
know, where are the Republican leaders of Atlanta
County? How come they're not joining into this?
And hopefully, you'll be asking Denny Levinson that
when he when he's a guest. So,
these are the things we do. And and
gee whiz, I didn't even I guess the
final issue I wanna talk about, you talk
about affordability.
All these things that make public schools so
expensive.
The special education.
The fact that you need union companies to
to do even minor repairs.
The fact that you have,
all the staffing, the high salaries where you
have,
you know, only you'll have 30 people who
apply to a single job in a public
school. That's an indication your salaries are too
high.
And and what happens when you have all
this money being spent,
and there's no money to keep, the repairs
done? Well, you they the public schools let
everything run to the ground, and then they
have a, like, a $25,000,000
bond issue where you borrow money to fix
it, and that makes things even worse. And
Egg Harbor Township
is now about to borrow $36,000,000.
They're gonna have a special election
on March 10
hoping that no one's gonna know about it
except the students and the parents,
who who were contacted through the emergency program.
So these are the things that we talk
about that nobody else talks about, but we
can't talk about anything and get the word
out if we don't have enough money to
be on the radio or have our website
or anything, which is why I hope everyone
will donate money to our fundraiser tomorrow
and online to pay the $30 dues or
any donation possible at libertyandprosperity.com.
Thank you very much, and and I have
a meeting to go to. Yeah. Yeah. You
do. Saturday morning,
09:30 at Sal's Coal Fired Pizza in, in
Somers Point in Brooklyn Avenue on New Road.
And I'll see you tomorrow.
God willing, yes. Thank you. Okay. Seth Grossman,
Liberty and Prosperity. The website, libertyandprosperity.com.
