TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN DEMASI:  Let’s turn it over to the one and only Seth Grossman who, as always, has a lot to say, and he’s going to pack it into 15 minutes.
SETH GROSSMAN:   I’m going to do my best and what I don’t get to will be on libertyandprosperity.com. A lot of new stuff is already posted there. First, an academic thing. When described “fascism” as a “right-wing” movement, you used a far-left definition from a far-left source.  If If you had an old print dictionary, you might see a different definition.  The truth is that fascism is a left-wing movement–it is very similar to communism and socialism.  That is another example of the left hijacking language.
That’s, you know, the left hijacking language. Because when you think about it and study it, fascism is a left-wing movement. Hitler’s official NAZI party is short for the German words National Socialist German Workers Party. Mussolini was a lifelong socialist, and, and he just changed the communist doctrine a little bit to create his fascism. And in fact, Benito Mussolini, his dad was a socialist who named him after Benito Juarez, the socialist leader of Mexico. S
Classic communism was where you would kill all the landlords and kill all the business owners, and you’d have the government run everything. What the fascists did that slightly different.  They said, we don’t have to kill business owners and have the government run their companies. We can just tell them to do exactly what the government tells them to do, and they can keep their money and their titles and pretend to run their companies. That’s exactly what the Democrats have all our big corporations doing in America today. These woke corporations are doing their diversity, equity, and inclusion because they are told to do it.  The government doesn’t have to take over Bank of America, or Blackrock, or Target or McDonalds if those companies to everything “woke” Democrats in the government tell them to do. . So they don’t have to take over the corporations like Facebook and Google if they are fully controlled by the Democrats who run the government. But that’s just a side note. 
But I do agree with you that things are looking very good for Trump and Republicans. The polls look good. A lot of traditional, Democrat supporters are not supporting Kamala Harris. The Washington Post, run by billionaire Jeff Bezos of Amazon is not endorsing a candidate this year, with Jeff Bezos. this is shocking. And the fact that so many people are supporting Trump and Republicans right now is astounding.
I make a habit of watching mainstream TV news. I watch Channel 6 ABC News because I like to watch Jeopardy afterwards.  If you have been watching ABC News with David Moore for the past 2 weeks, you noticed that the first 10 minutes of every broadcast is a Kamala Harris commercial. They’ll begin the program by saying, “Here’s someone covering the Kamala Harris campaign, and then they’ll present every talking poing point that Kamala Harris wants to get out. They won’t present any criticism, or any gaffes or stupid things Kamala said that day. Then they’ll say we have so and so with the Trump campaign. And they’ll report that Trump said something stupid today and here’s Kamala Harris’s response to the stupid thing Trump said.  If Trump said something smart, it won’t be reported. If Trump didn’t say anything  bad that day, they will show something bad Trump said six months ago or six years ago! So the whole 10-minutenews segment is really a ten-minute infomercial for the Democrats and Kamala Harris. Yet it seems most voters are rejecting this, and it is astonishing.
JOHN DEMASI:  Yes. It is. By the way, the LA Times also did not endorse a presidential candidate.
SETH GROSSMAN:  That’s right.  That’s telling you something. But one thing I I want to mention is that Republicans though should not be overconfident. I knowa lot of Republicans are voting early. I’ve heard a lot of pundits talk about how the strong Republican early voting is. But I want to take a lesson from Craig Callaway of Atlantic City who spoke to us last February. He said, Republicans still don’t get early voting. He said that if you are a motivated Republican voter, it doesn’t matter very much if you vote early or if you vote on Election Day.  It’s very nice if you vote early, but it was highly likely that you would have voted on Election Day.  It’s still the same vote either way. He said early voting helps Democrats because it makes it easy for them to round up and harvest all these people who we call low information, low motivated voters. these are people who, for various reasons, would never vote, in any circumstance unless somebody picks them up and drags them to fill out the vote-by-mail forms or drags them to early voting.  Democrats did not invent Early Voting and Mail and Messenger  Voting to help motivated voters. For them, it doesn’t matter much whether you vote on Election Day or whether you vote early or mail.  Of course, it helps a little bit because if you wait till election day, there’s always a chance you’ll be sick, or you get busy or get distracted. But the main thing is to use this early voting as an opportunity to get your unmotivated friends and family members to vote.  You know, brother-in-law, your unmotivated kid in college, your unmotivated, you know, cousin or neighbor or grandmother in a nursing home.  They’re the ones you need to go to and help them with their paperwork or drag them to the polls and get them to vote. That’s what makes the difference. 
JOHN DEMASI:  Yeah. We got to get out there. There’s no question about it. It’s not the time for complacency. 
SETH GROSSMAN:  No. No. No. It’s not. But I do have to to mention that, as it looks like Republicans are on the verge of of maybe getting a historic victory, and I don’t want to put the evil eye on it.
But we also have to be careful for another reason.  Lots of times, Republicans win, not because they’re doing the right stuff, but because the Democrats give them these opportunities.  It reminds me a little bit about what Michael Lewis said about Wall Street before the big crash in 2008.  During the boom years of the 1990’s, Lews said we had all these people on Wall Street making stupid decisions about money, and they were getting filthy rich. So Michael Lewis gave this famous quote.  “If people can get rich making stupid decisions about money, why should they bother to make smart decisions?”  And so if Republicans do all sorts of stupid things and win elections anyway, we’re going to end up in in a mess.
In 1993, New Jersey Republicans got everybody to go against Democratic Governor Florio and vote him out of office. But they gave us Christie Todd Whitman for Governor and a lopsided Republican majorities in both houses of the Legislature. And those Republicans made things even worse.  They gave us more debt, higher property taxes, and all sorts of woke programs.  And so the Democrats took control of New Jersey again in 2001.
Then we had Republicans go against John Corzine when he tried to have Wall Street monetize all our toll roads by borrowing all this money from Wall Street. And so we put in Chris Christie.  Christie ended up being the most unpopular governor, in New Jersey history for very good reasons. 
So now I see a lot of Republicans, saying we got to get rid of Murphy, Phil Murphy. And what Republicans would replace him?  Jack Ciattarelli, Bill Spadea, Jon Bramnick, or Ed Durr the Trucker? So far not one of them is doing or saying anything about any of the issues that matter most to us.   That can be dangerous. If these Republicans manage to get elected, and then also make things worse for us, then there’s no way out in New Jersey. So  its OK for us to feel good and get confident. But I have to say, let’s not get too carried away here.
JOHN DEMASI:   Yeah. No. I agree. I agree. 
SETH GROSSMAN:  I want to give one example of a very important issue that Republicans have said absolutely nothing about.  This is typical of what Republicans do and what Democrats do. I don’t know if you noticed, but last Wednesday, Atlantic City Council introduced an ordinance to have 16-year-olds vote in school elections.  These 16-year-olds would vote for school budgets, approve borrowing money, and for school board members. And, if that goes through, Atlantic City will be the 2nd town in New Jersey to do it. Newark made it legal for 16-year-olds to vote in school elections in January. 
Above Image:  One year ago, radical left groups of “community organizers” pushed to lower the voting age to 16 in New Jersey.  They Included the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice.
Later they were joined by “mainstream” Democrat leaders and organizations.  They included the NAACP and Democratic Governor Phil Murphy.
Governor Murphy and the NAACP are now going all over the state saying we’ve got to make it legal for 16-year-olds to be voting in school elections next year. And and who’s driving all this? Well, it it’s your typical George Soros left wing, community organizer groups have been pushing this for a year, and and we all know why they’re doing it. Because when you have 16 17 year olds voting, that’s gonna promote the woke democrat agenda and elect the leftist democrats in in so many ways. First of all, of course, all these new voters are students, and they’ll be indoctrinated every day with their NJEA Teachers Union, you know, teachers. Oh, I’m good. And and and if you don’t believe of of me about how the kids are getting indoctrinated, you just look at all these, clubs that they have in all these high schools, about pro transgender, pro, black lives matter, pro Hamas, pro anti Israel, pro, you know, hate hate America.  Our high schools have all sorts of official clubs for these far-left political causes even in Republican towns. Meanwhile, I can’t get a phone call returned if I try to introduce Liberty and Prosperity to any of these schools.
If our schools are indoctrinating their kids that much now, think of what they will do when their 16- and 17-year old students become voters.  These kids will be instructed by teachers who benefit from bigger school budgets, more debt, higher taxes. Teachers will persuade them to like school board candidates  who will give them bigger salaries and benefits.
And there’s so much more.  The list goes on and on. If you have 16- and 17-year olds voting, most of them will be what we call low information and low motivation voters. They’re typical of the voters who would never vote unless somebody knocks on their door and drags them, either in school or whatever to fill out the papers to vote, which means that the only ones that vote are the ones who are harvested. Harvesters, as you know, are your Craig Hallaway, types, but almost all of them are left wing Democrats. And then, of course, we have other reasons. Why don’t we have 16- and 17-year-olds voting? Well, why why don’t we let them have alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes? Yeah. Because their brains are not mature. They have all these hormones. They don’t have any life experience to understand the consequences of what they do, and that’s why we don’t want 16 and 17 year olds. Would would you want a 16 year old on a jury? No. If you’re charged with a crime?  No. If somebody’s suing you for money? Absolutely not.
Also, we have to get out of this bad habit of saying that voting is a good civic duty. No! Voting is power! Voting gives you the power to take money and property from other people.  Voting is the power to punish and reward people and other people.  It is a very serious and dangerous power, and it can be misused very easily.
You just don’t let immature children vote so you can say, we’d like to get you involved. So now you can vote. Now you have the power to tax people out of their homes, or you have the power to redistribute wealth, or you have power to, you know, force us to build wind turbines and all that stuff.
And we saw the bad judgment of teenagers when they follow trends.  Like the changer your sex and transgender stuff. All these poor kids who mutilate their bodies permanently that to change their gender, because they thought it was the trendy thing to do. So we have all these reasons posted at at our libertyandprosperity.com site. Once again, Republican leaders are saying and doing absolutely nothing about this. This happens all the time.  Bad things are quietly happening for months or even years. When most voters find out about it, we’re on the back foot and it’s usually too late.
In other words, our Republican leaders almost never say, “Hey! Look what the Democrats are planning! . We got to get organized. We got to get mobilized. But it seems we never find out about it, this stuff, until somebody does it, and then we read about it in the paper the day after when it’s too late to do something about it. Y
JOHN DEMASI:  Yeah. Do you think, that this, this bill will pass in the council? 16 year olds vote, voting in school board elections?
SETH GROSSMAN:  Of of course, it’s gonna pass. Okay. Because, they have 4 votes already. Kalim Shabazz, is for it. The NAACP is for it. Governor Murphy is for it. It it sailed through unanimously, I believe, in Newark. And the only people who spoke up against it was, I believe, Jesse Kurtz, the only Republican there and maybe George at Tibbetts. But this is going to steamroller through unless, republicans, take action to do it.
And in a way, it it’s also putting light in the fact that the whole idea of school elections, is is sort of rigged against the taxpayer. Because, you know, how many people, would want to, you know, hold a public office that has nothing but aggravation, and you don’t get paid at all, and you find out that the only people running in most of these school board elections are basically teachers or someone that who’s making money from the school system in another district, running for the school board in the district that they live in. So, that’s why the schools are as messed up as they are in New Jersey. So, this would just make it one step worse. 
JOHN DEMASI:  Boy, something to look forward to.
SETH GROSSMAN:  Yeah. There’s always there’s always something. By the way, in in the last few minutes, with the wind turbines, there’s been a lot of news about wind turbines. And basically, all the top science people around the country now agree that wind turbines are just a dead end. They all know that we need electricity for electric cars. We need it for artificial intelligence. We need it for the Internet. And if you go on, on the reclaim the news, dot com, you know, all over the country, everybody is against the wind turbines now. So why are they still moving forward in New Jersey? And and I said because it’s of people who are evil, corrupt, and ignorant. And when I say evil, it’s because there are certain people who hate America and would like to bomb us into the stone age. But they don’t have to bomb us into the stone age if they could force into voting ourselves into the stone age, where America is so broke, weak, and divided that the rest of the world, the bad people in the rest of world could take over. But part of it is the corruption Biden has given hundreds of billions of dllars to the wind turbine people, and a lot of people are just doing what the money is telling them to do. And another factor is the ignorance. People in America just don’t know basic science. They don’t know that you can’t power a modern society with electricity that is only produced when the wind blows, and then you’re stuck with nothing when the wind doesn’t blow, and you have to crank up these natural gas generators. But we don’t have enough national natural gas generators because we’re blowing them up like we did at Beasley’s point.
So anyway, there’s gonna be a big offshore wind conference next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in Atlantic City. Governor Murphy’s, it’s gonna be at the Atlantic City Convention Center by the train station. Governor Murphy’s gonna be there, and, we’re gonna have, working with, liberty and prosperity and defend the Down Beach and Brigantine Beach and protect our coast. We’re gonna have groups from all over the the Jersey shore, to be there to protest. But the real argument isn’t that it’s gonna mess up the beach and mess up the whales. It’s really gonna be, we’re gonna double and triple our electric bills. We’re gonna have the kind of power failures you have in Cuba right now, and it’s really gonna make, New Jersey, just unaffordable and more miserable. So that’s something important that’s going on. Boy. I guess you’re encouraging people to come out and protest with you. But please do or or if you can’t protest, at least sign up to libertyandprosperity, dotcom website. Get our email so you see what other things we could do. 
That the stupid war against lead is continuing. People get knocks on their door that they have the water company wants to inspect your pipes to see if you have, you know, lead in your pipes. And of course, there has not been lead anywhere in paint or pipes for about 50 or 60 years. It’s just costing an enormous amount of money. We’re digging up streets. We’re replacing all sorts of system for no reason whatsoever. That’s that’s another top down state mandated thing. 
With the new flooding rules, I saw we had a, a big front-page article in a press about Dan Bacallus and Barbara Neary talking about how wonderful it is to have these new, rules that force you to build a fortress, if you want to build anywhere on an island in in New Jersey, on the on the Jersey Shore. And I learned something new that the the federal and state government are now paying second homeowners to raise their houses 14 feet off the ground. So where is that money coming from? And, I I just thought it’s interesting if they say it’s too dangerous to build by the beach. Well, let people build their vacation homes in Hamilton, and they don’t have to worry about the flooding. But but I somehow I suspect that a building lot on the beach block, in Longport is a bit more expensive than at the same size lot somewhere in Hamilton. Yeah. So if so if it’s such a bad place to build a house, you know, I I I somehow I suspect that the prices wouldn’t be so high by the beach and they’d be a lot more expensive away from the beach, but that’s not how it is. And and it’s counterproductive. They say we want to save money for, for the federal flood insurance program. Well, if you wanna save money, why would you make people build more expensive houses by the shore? So, that’s something that doesn’t make any sense. And, I I’m gonna try to kinda think if there I had one more thing I meant to say, but, of course, I I I guess the the the final thought is they had a debate at Stockton University between Jeff Andrew and, and the Democrat Salerno. And I thought it was interesting that for the first time, Stockton University would not allow its students to attend the debate. I remember when I debated Jeff Andrew as and I started talking about how the college was indoctrinated kids in these left wing, causes. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. The president, got so upset. No. In fact, we got so upset. So Stockton College fixed the problem of, of letting students know that people, you know, that they disagree with how their college is being run. They they fixed the problem by not having students go to debate anymore. Anyway, all this stuff on libertyandprosperity.com, and the meeting is starting 9:30 Saturday at South Cafe in Somers Point, on Saturday morning. Thank you.
