Local Politics & Vote-by-Mail Controversy
-
Campaign Focus: Grossman notes that he has become a campaign issue in the Atlantic County Clerk race. The Democratic candidate, Lisa Bender, is criticizing the incumbent Republican, Joe Giralo, for his associations with Grossman and the Liberty and Prosperity organization.
-
Defense of Giralo: Both the host and Grossman praise Giralo’s efficiency and responsiveness as county clerk.
-
Stance on Voting: Grossman reiterates his long-held opposition to a 45-day mail-in voting window, arguing that it encourages voter harvesting and potential fraud. He advocates for returning to a single, in-person election day where voters must present identification, making an exception only for traditional absentee ballots requiring a doctor’s note.
Upcoming Book & Events
-
The 1676 Project: Grossman mentions his book, 1676 Project: How New Jersey Shaped America, which draws parallels between historical American events and modern political challenges.
-
Book Signing: He highlights an upcoming book signing at the Cheetah Bagel Cafe on Arctic Avenue in Atlantic City.
Perspectives on the Middle East & Demographics
-
Media Coverage of Israel: Grossman argues that critics unfairly use localized imperfections to condemn overall nations like Israel or the United States, while ignoring much worse actions by adversarial countries.
-
Global Demographics: He shifts to a broader discussion on the Islamic world, arguing that a major strategy relies on demographic growth outpacing Western nations.
-
The Struggle for Dominance: Grossman describes a five-way geopolitical struggle for influence and governance (a “caliphate”) in the region among Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the Muslim Brotherhood, suggesting that Western observers miss the bigger picture by focusing solely on Iran.
