WOND radio host Dan Klein is joined in the studio by LIberty and Prosperity executive director, Seth Grossman. They are both joined by Liberty and Prosperity president, Brian Fitzherbert via the phone.

Topic of conversation is Liberty and Prosperity. A non-profit educational organization founded in 2003, and whose mission is even more important today.

They are also joined by New Jersey senator Michael Testa, who is this years featured speaker at the annual Liberty and Prosperity fundraiser.

Every Saturday morning at 9:10AM, John DeMasi interviews Seth Grossman of LibertyAndProsperity.com on WPGTalkRadio.com online and 1450AM heard in the beach towns of South Jersey and 95.5FM radio heard in most of South Jersey.

Political and Cultural Commentary

Grossman provides a critique of several recent events, framed through the lens of individual liberty:

Alternative Super Bowl Shows: Grossman highlights the success of "Turning Point" alternate entertainment on YouTube and "Puppy Bowl" on Animal Planet give giving people a choice to avoid the "woke" Bad Bunny Superbowl halftime show promoted by National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Trump and Elon Musk restored choice and freedom to social and broadcast media. People often have more power making economic choices than by voting.

Support Liberty and Prosperity $75 Fundraiser on Sunday, February 15. Pay $30 2026 dues or donate any amount. Our organization can deliver accurate, truthful messages about the issues that matter most because we are funded by private individuals rather than government grants or corporate sponsors.  More "successful" organizations including mainstream media cannot do this because their corporate donors or sponsors depend on government permits, approvals, contract or financing to make their enormous profits.

Many Liberty and Prosperity members are "Boomers" who have gained valuable knowledge and insight over the years.

Immigration: Any amnesty or leniency for "best of the best" illegal immigrants must be limited to the limit or quota of not more than of 100,000 legal immigrants per year, that we had before 1965.

Atlantic Cape Community College (ACCC):  Grossman gives practical advice on how the Christian Club can get the same funding from Student Activities Fees as Gay Pride, Black Student Alliance and Asian Culture clubs. He also questions why Republicans with full control of Atlantic and Cape May County government choose trustees for the College who hire "woke" leftists to run it.

Coastal Regulations: He expresses concern over new state building regulations that increase costs for beachside residents and questions why Atlantic County leaders did not join Monmouth, Ocean and Cape May County governments to challenge them.

School Funding (Egg Harbor Township): Grossman explains why school boards fail to do routine repairs and maintenance and let school buildings run down.  They then borrow millions to rebuild them. Grossman explains why Egg Harbor Township school board is holding expensive special election on March 10 to seek permission to borrow $36 million. The School District could have put the issue on ballot last November at no cost to taxpayer.  It deliberately wants a low turnout.

EDITED AND CORRECTED PORTIONS OF FULL INTERVIEW:

Liberty is the best way to overcome problems like Roger Goodell, the NFL and the Bad Bunny Superbowl Show.

SETH GROSSMAN: Our organization often talks about this.  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 by voting. Turning Point USA produced an alternate show that had about four or five million people watching it during halftime of the Superbowl, and about another 15 million afterwards.  And Goodell, the Commissioner of the National Football League did everything he could to stop that alternate show.

Roger Goodell was furious at Kid Rock and Turning Point for giving people a choice for the first time ever, and he  put a lot of pressure on performers. There were supposed to be a lot of other talent 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.

However, even with so-called second-string performers, my family watched it. My daughter, son-in-law, we watched it with the grandkids. They loved it. They were singing along. They identified with it. It was great family entertainment. And that's going to have an impact because, this alternate show was done almost last minute with all these obstacles. And Goodell knows if he pulls this stunt with Bad Bunny again, the Turning Point event or other alternate events will even double. And that's going to hurt them in the pocketbook where it counts. It's going to hurt their ratings, their advertising, and their merchandise sales. That is why economic freedom is as important as voting and political freedom.

Click this link or above image for video of 2026 Puppy Bowl: https://youtu.be/4AWmp22a4sg?si=y6kFmioKqSDJuanO

By the way, I noticed that about 15 million people watched the Puppy Bowl on the Animal Planet network that Sunday. That was their highest rating ever. So I think Goodell and those "woke" corporate executives got an important message. If you don't offer people what they want, they will find a way to watch what they do want--if we don't live in a dictatorship.

Now when Obama was President, we had a media dictatorship. For years, all of 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 lost the platform. You couldn't reach anybody. 

Thank God for Elon Musk and Trump for changing all that. So when people have choices, people make choices. That is good for everybody and that is why liberty is so important--both economic liberty and political liberty. So I saw, a silver lining there.

Remember when Goodell and the NFL and the media had absolute control? They trashed our National Anthem. He had Kaepernic and all those players kneeling instead of standing. Remember when the Houston Astros wanted to wear a symbol to honor the New Orleans Police Department?  The NFL wouldn't let them. They only permitted Black Lives Matter symbols insulting police. That's what they did when they had absolute power.

But I guarantee you next year, because of this experience, they're going to behave a little bit better. So I was not at all discouraged by what happened last Sunday at the Superbowl.

JOHN DEMASI:  Before you talk about something else, I want you to promote your event tomorrow (Sunday, February 15).

SETH GROSSMAN:  Our group, Liberty and Prosperity.com depends on private donations. We don't get funding from the government. Unlike many so-called successful charities, we don't get corporate sponsors. When you think of it, those so-called private charities are really agencies of the government. Look who funds them. Who are their sponsors? Who are their donors? Bank of America? Big drug companies? Hospitals? The Gas Company? the Electric Company? Who are the biggest sponsors of the TV network news we watch?  All big corporations who depend on some monopoly, contract, financing, or other special deal from the government to get their big profits. 

We don't get any of that. We 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 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.

We have this one event every February. This year, it's tomorrow, Sunday, February 15th. Republican Senator Michael Testa will be the featured speaker.  It will be at Josie Kelly's Public House in Somers Point. There will be a nice lunch with a nice dessert. Tickets are $75. 

Best way to donate is with the "Donate" tab on our website at LibertyAndProsperity.com. However, you can also mail or drop your check off at the office at, at 453 Shore Road in Somers Point. And, of course, you can always bring your check to any weekly breakfast discussion at Sal's Coal Fired Pizza in Somers Point any Saturday morning.

However you help is fine, but we do need your support to stay on this radio program, to send our free weekly emails out, and to keep our website. We also need your help to do and promote our Richard Somers event every September 4 to remember America's first war against Islamic terror when, Thomas Jefferson was President.

JOHN DIMASI:  A few weeks ago, when  was last here, you mentioned something about an immigration quota. And, it was a good idea. And Roscoe, one of our listeners, suggested, "Why don't you and Seth present your idea to President Trump? Or perhaps to Congressman Van Drew?

SETH GROSSMAN:  The idea, of course, is that we have a freeze on all know immigration from outside the country, and that we use the existing immigration quota of 400,000 per year to the "best of the best" immigrants who have illegally been in this country for a very long time.  And also that we reduce that quota to what is to 100,000 per year, what it was before 1965.

However, we at Liberty and Prosperity work as a group. And last Saturday, while I was in Florida, a majority of the group said, no. They didn't like my plan. They don't want any kind of an amnesty. 

Now I was pointing out that for several reasons, a majority of the American people have turned against all immigration enforcement. I was suggesting that if we don't quickly find a way, to reach out to a lot of fair-minded independed voters who feel sympathy for illegals who have not broken the law and who have been in this country for more than ten years, we will end up with no immigration enforcement.

Rightly or wrongly, a lot of people feel that if we let people illegally live in our country for more than ten years without doing anything about it, we are as much to blame for it as the illegals. We have lots of precedents in the law for statutes of limitation.

However,

JAN 30 2026

Highlights of Seth Grossman weekly interview with John DeMasi on Talk with a Purpose. Heard on WPG Radio WPG 1400AM and 95.5FM in most of South Jersey Saturdays shortly after 9AM and usually replayed Sundays shortly after 5PM.

Grok AI (Artificial Intelligence) confirms that Liberty and Prosperity a "worthy charity."

Communists, Socialists and "Woke" Democrats spent months setting a trap in Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) walked right into it.

Seth Grossman proposes plan to win back majority support for immigration enforcement. #1. Freeze All New Immigration from outside US until we digest immigrants we already have. (Under 1965 Law, more than 400,000 foreigners can now legally move to U.S.) #2. Let "Best of the Best" Illegals Apply for Legal Status, BUT WITHIN 400,000 PER YEAR LIMIT. #3. Continue Systematic Deportations of illegals (and their families) who are criminals, living on welfare, or otherwise not becoming self-sufficient Americans. #4. Repeal 1965 Immigration Law and return to allowing only 100,000 legal immigrants per year.

Ocean City Schools falsely teach students that all of America, not just Confederate South, had Jim Crow segregation until Martin Luther King in 1963. 

DETAILS:

Grok Confirms that Liberty and Prosperity is a "worthy charity." Please pay $30 dues for 2026 and support $75 Fundraiser with State Senator Michael Testa on February 15.

SETH GROSSMAN: $30 dues for 2026 plus $75 Fundraiser with Senator Michael Testa on February 15. Ask AI (Artificial Intelligence) if Liberty and Prosperity is a worthy charity. There are many AI programs out there. Some use ChatGPT. I use Grok, the AI Program of Elon Musk on X or Twitter.

Last week, I asked Grok, "Is Liberty and Prosperity 1776, Inc. a worthy charity? Basically, it, it said "Yes!"  We are a worth charity. And Grok also wrote nicer things about Liberty and Prosperity than I could write myself.

So, I invite you to go to our libertyandprosperity.com website to read that. It's posted there.

JOHN DEMASI:  Well, that's very encouraging. 

Communists, Socialists and "Woke" Democrats Spent Months Building a Trap in Minneapolis. Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino Walked Right Into It.

 

a

Above Image: "Bloody Sunday" 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Communists and Socialists won public support by provoking police and soldiers into shooting unarmed demonstrators. Communist leader Vladimir Lenin later perfected those methods and taught them to his followers. Many of them were later described by Saul Alinsky in his book Rules for Radicals published in 1971. Barack Obama often used that book as a "community organizer" in Chicago during the 1980s.

SETH GROSSMAN: Let me answer your basic question on why there is so much public anger against ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Right here in Linwood (NJ) last Thursday, there were about 200 people protesting against, ICE.  I think there are two main reasons for it.

Number one is that Kristi Noem, the head of Homeland Security and Gregory Bovino were absolutely horrible. They walked right into the trap that that Communists, Socialists, and "woke" Democrats set for them. Look at the big picture. What have these radical leftists doing during the past month? They've been taking every one of their hardcore soldiers, their fanatics, their lunatics, their most violent and aggressive people, and they were sending them to Minneapolis.  Why? because they wanted violent confrontations and street battles with ICE.  And Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino gave them exactly what the Left wanted.

We are in the middle of a Civil War. And to win that war you need to fight and win battles. When you fight a battle, the first thing you do is shape the battlefield. And if your enemy wants to have a certain kind of battle on the streets in a certain way, you do NOT want to fight that battle the way your enemy wants on the battlefield that your enemy chooses.

But that is exactly what Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino did. They sent 2,000 ICE agents into the streets of Minneapolis. By doing this, they played right into the hands of the Leftists. Because when you have confrontations between hundreds of people out in the street, someone's going to make a mistake. Someone's going to miscalculate, and you're going to get the two shootings that we got.

It really doesn't matter whose fault those shootings were. The radical left wanted a physical confrontations with Trump's immigration officials and they wanted people to get hurt. They wanted people to die so they could get all of this footage on video that is on the TV news every day.  We played right into their hands.

The only good news is that Trump is trying to fix that situation. Trump is finally just now doing what he should have done at the very beginning.  Instead of sending ICE agents to have fights in the streets and neighborhoods, Tom Holman is finally talking to state and local officials and reminding them that they have a legal and constitutional obligation to comply with federal laws. That means that if they have dangerous illegal immigrant or illegal alien, criminals locked up, they violate the law if they release them into the streets and into the neighborhoods.

Tom Homan has finally made that clear, and he forced the Minnesota officials to admit that. However, this happened a little late and a lot of damage has been done.

 

Above Image: The Generals by Thomas E Ricks explains how Americans have a long tradition of being unprepared for war. He wrote of how General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing overcame this during World War I and how George Marshall did this during World War II. Both systematically fired and replaced ineffective commanders.  Ricks suggests that America lost winnable wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan because our military is no longer led by commanding generals who do this.

AMERICANS HAVE A TRADITION OF BEING UNPREPARED FOR WAR.

 

However, in all fairness, I have to say that Americans have a tradition of not having good military leadership at the beginning of a war. And again, were are in a civil war. Minneapolis today is our Fort Sumter. Confederate Democrats today are doing today what they did to Abraham Lincoln in in 1860. America is still a nation today because President Abraham Lincoln knew how o deal with them.

When someone is looking for an excuse to start a war, you have to carefully use propaganda. You have to make it clear that the other side starting it. America had that problem during our last Civil War. It took Abraham Lincoln two years to find General Grant. If President Lincoln didn't fire and replace his first generals, the Union would have lost the Civil War.

George Marshall became Army Chief of Staff just before World War II.  He immediately fired and replaced more than 500 top senior officers.  He said they were "too old, too slow or too ineffective for modern warfare.

During the Vietnam War, we started with Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and his crazy "Strategic had a crazy strategy of strategic hamlets that screwed up the Vietnam War. And then you had William Westmoreland who made things even worse with his big "Search and Destroy" operations. It took us eight years to get Creighton Abrams who knew how to win the war. But by that time, most Americans were tired of the war and we gave up and went home.

Strategy and good leadership are critical, and until now, we had not had either one.

Then there's a second big problem that we have talked a lot about. You can't fix a problem, and you can't get most voters to support doing what it takes to fix a problem if you can't explain what the problem is.

MOST AMERICANS OPPOSED DEPORTING THE "BEST OF THE BEST" ILLEGALS.

The problem is that we have more than 20 million foreigners illegally in our country. And if we allow all 20 million to stay, we don't have a country anymore. That is because there are 8 billion people in the world and about five or six billion would love to have a better life in America. However, we cannot let all of them come here. Since 1920, we had a quota, or limit on the number of foreigners who could legally come here. From 1920 to 1965, we had an immigration quota, or limit of roughly 100,000 a year, and it was strictly enforced. In 1965, Ted Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson Democrats expanded legal immigration to 400,000 per year, which is way too much. And now we have 400,000 a year coming here legally plus the 20 million who are already here illegally. It's just not sustainable.

So how can we this? Here's my suggestion. I think we need to break this problem into manageable chunks. You say let's have mass deportations of all 20 million illegals. However, I think it's clear that this is not working. Look at the mess we have deporting just 2 million illegals during the past year.  Do you really think we can keep doing this for at least ten more years?

Let's break it down. Out of the 20 million illegals, about two to three million are criminals. Most Americans agree that they should go, along with their families. Then we have maybe another 10 million illegals who have not committed any crimes outside of being here illegally. However, they are not assimilating. They are not working. They do not own legal businesses. They are not paying taxes. They are gegging all sorts of government assistance. They are a burden to our schools, hospitals, and social service agencies. We simply cannot afford them.  Most Americans agree that they should also go.

But that leave roughly six to eight more illegals, who I would call the best of the best. They have jobs, they have businesses.  They are educated. They speak English. They obey the law. They have close ties to the community. They are productive citizens.

Above Featured Image: New Jersey State Law Recognizes Only Two Political Parties:  Republicans and Democrats. The Website of the Atlantic County Republican Organization No Longer Informs Visitors of the Names and Contact Information for Its 23 Local Leaders, or the Meeting Days, Times and Places for Its 23 Local Clubs.

AI Summary: In January 24, 2026 interview, Seth Grossman of Liberty and Prosperity discusses the organization's need for financial support, the importance of local Democratic and Republican Party political clubs,  the NJ State takeover of Atlantic City, why good movies present fake "woke" history, and why federal "beach replenishment" is expensive, corrupt, ineffective, and unconstitutional.

1. Liberty and Prosperity: 2026 Goals

Grossman emphasizes that the organization's survival depends on grassroots support and consistent funding.

Membership Dues: The organization requires several hundred members to pay their $30 annual dues for 2026 to maintain operations.

Annual Fundraiser: A key fundraising event is scheduled for February 15 at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $75, and the keynote speaker will be Republican State Senator Michael Testa.

Core Activities: Funds support a weekly email update sent to 4,200 subscribers, social media presence, and local historical events like the September 4th remembrance of Richard Somers and the Tripoli War against Islamic jihad.

2. Local Political Engagement & "Doing More Than Voting"

A major theme of the discussion is the importance of local political clubs, which Grossman argues are often ignored by the general public.

Club Influence: Grossman notes that every town has Republican and Democratic clubs that meet monthly, yet many members are there for "the wrong reasons," such as seeking government jobs or contracts.

Lack of Transparency: He criticizes the Atlantic County Republican and Democratic organizations for failing to list local club officers or meeting information on their websites, suggesting they want to keep the process closed to "insiders."

Above Image:  List of Local Clubs Posted on Website of Atlantic County Democratic Party organization:  Municipal Clubs — Atlantic County Democratic Committee

Above Image:  "Get Involved" Page of Atlantic County Democratic Party Website.  Sign Up — Atlantic County Democratic Committee Atlantic County Democrats Encourage New People to Be Its Candidates for Public Office. Atlantic County Republicans Choose Friends, Family and Established Insiders As Their Candidates.

Candidate Recruitment: Grossman points out that Democrats are often more effective at recruiting "ordinary people" through "casting calls," whereas the GOP process is frequently seen as less inclusive.

3. Economic and Historical Critiques

Grossman offers a sharp critique of both past and current government policies:

Atlantic City State Takeover: He disputes the official narrative that the takeover was purely financial, blaming former Governor Chris Christie’s presidential ambitions for blocking necessary spending cuts and layoffs in 2010.

"Woke" History in Media: Using the film Across the Universe as an example, Grossman argues that Hollywood often presents a "fake history" of events like the Vietnam War, which he claims is funded by leftist organizations to promote a specific ideological agenda.

Two Civil Rights Movements: He distinguishes between the "first wave," which sought basic equal rights, and a "second wave" that sought forced economic equality through expensive, ineffective, and corrupt socialism.

4. Opposing Federal Beach Replenishment

Despite his support for Congressman Jeff Van Drew, Grossman strongly disagrees with federal spending on "beach replenishment" projects:

Luxury vs. Necessity: He argues that living by the beach is a choice and a luxury; therefore, federal taxpayers (e.g., those in Idaho) should not fund sand movement for New Jersey homeowners.

Local Responsibility: Grossman believes local towns should pay for their own beach projects, noting that "pork barrel" spending like this has contributed to the $38 trillion national debt.

EXCERPTS FROM THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW WITH SETH GROSSMAN:

SETH GROSSMAN:  

We Need Your Financial Support:  Liberty and prosperity can only function if several hundred people become supporting members and pay pay $30 dues every year. And for 2026, that $30 is due.

This Year's Fundraiser is Sunday, February 15 at 2pm at Josie Kelly's in Somers Point. Tickets are $75 and include lunch and dessert.

We raise two thirds of our money from our yearly fundraiser lunch in February. This year it is Sunday, February 15 at 2:00pm in the afternoon. It will be at Josie Kelly's Pub in Somers Point.  Tickets are $75 and include lunch. Republican State Senator Michael Testa of Cape May and Cumberland County will be our featured speaker. 

We make very good use of that money.

It pays for weekly email updates that go to 4,200 subscribers. We maintain the libertyandprosperity.com website. We have Facebook. We have X. We have Instagram. Every September 4, we remember Richard Somers in Somers Point and the other heroes of the Tripoli War, to remind everybody that our war against the Islamic Jihad started when Thomas Jefferson was president. And few people know that--until we do that yearly, event. And, of course, we're on the radio with you every week. Finally, we send postcards and mailings and sponsor special events on key issues throughout the year.

Besides raising money, we also invite a keynote speaker who gets us focused on the main issues for the the year ahead.

That's exactly what Senator Michael Testa, told us he wants to do. And here are the five topics he'll be talking about. #1. How effective citizens can work with party leaders to recruit, prepare, and elect effective conservatives, to the State Senate, to county commissions, what used to be freeholder boards, to local offices, and most important of all, school boards. #2. How to rebuild, rebrand, and fix the New Jersey Republican Party. #3. What we Boomers, can do to somehow persuade our kids and grandkids to support conservatives. #4. How South Jersey can lead the rest of the state. And needless to say, the Republican party in the rest of the state needs, some leadership. And finally #5.  Senator Testa wants to offer some specific solutions to specific problems. 

So there are two important reasons to support that event. And when we have a successful fundraiser, we don't have to be beg for money the rest of the year. We can focus on getting our message out. So, this February 15 Fundraiser is very important.

If you want to pay your $30 dues, make a contribution, or by a $75 ticket for this February 15 event, go to our libertyandprosperity.com website. We have a donate tab at the top of the Home Page. But if you're old fashioned, you can just write a check to Liberty and Prosperity and send it to what used to be the Seth Grossman Law Office at 453 Shore Road in Somers Point. 

JOHN DEMASI:  And guess what? I already sent my donation in. And my dues. 

SETH GROSSMAN:  Thank you! We look forward to seeing you there!

Do More Than Vote! Learn more about your political party.

And let's talk about changing things by getting to know your political party. When most people talk about Republicans or Democrats, they think they are good citizens if they vote every November and vote for either a Republican or the Democrat. But one of our slogans is "Do More Than Vote!" We have to understand how Republicans and Democrats pick their candidates and get involved in that process.

Suppose the candidate that Republicans pick supports the same things that Democrats do. What's the point of voting? People get demoralized. So that's why about two weeks ago, I said, well, pay attention to people who run the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.  They are called the "County Committee". These are people who get elected in June every four years to run these parties.

Both the Republican Party and Democrat Party are private clubs, they are private organizations just like Liberty and Prosperity. Their members select their officers and those officers run these clubs. However, every voter as the right to be a member.  Every voter has the right to choose a political party and pick its officers.  Or you can be one of those officers.

If you want to learn the details, come to one of our Saturday morning breakfasts, and we'll explain how it works. Because very few people understand how this works.

All politics is local.

Almost every town has a Republican Party club. Almost every town has a Democratic Party club. And these clubs usually meet once a month in each town. And if you show up, you will meet the people who run them.

Many people are not in politics for the same reasons you are. 

if you show up at one of these clubs, you will quickly learn that many, if not most of the people running these clubs, are not there for the same reasons you are. A lot of people are in a Republican Club or Dmocratic Club because they depend on politics to make a living. They may have a city job, a county club, or some contract. Or they need licenses or permits from some government agency.

Some people are there as a social thing. Well, my granddad was in the in the club, and our friends like to go to the spring dinner dance or summer barbecue. They like to go to these dinners and social events.

And if you go to these political clubs, you will find very few people who are active because they care about the same issues you do.  Even fewer want to do anything about them.  Because if they get in arguments with people over issues that matter, they may not get that government job or contract or permit.

Brian, Anne, and the Dr., discuss government contracting and shipbuilding with a behind the scenes peek at how things really work."

The following are the key takeaways from the discussion between Seth Grossman of Liberty and Prosperity and John DeMasi:

Political Protest Tactics: Grossman traces modern protest tactics back to Vladimir Lenin in 1905, arguing that placing photogenic individuals, such as white women, at the front lines is a calculated move to provoke police responses that garner public sympathy when documented.

Alternative Law Enforcement: He suggests that law enforcement could counter these tactics by avoiding televised confrontations and instead using surveillance to make arrests at night or when cameras are not present.

Constitutional Supremacy: Grossman emphasizes Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, asserting that federal immigration laws are the "supreme law of the land" and that "sanctuary" policies are a form of confederacy that violates officials' oaths of office.

Economic Inefficiency and Hidden Taxes: Grossman critiques government spending and green energy projects:

Wind Turbines: He argues that the revenue Atlantic County receives from wind turbines is essentially a "hidden county tax" funded by high electricity bills for consumers rather than useful energy production.

Government Waste: He cites local examples of redundant construction and inefficient "grant-funded" projects where costs are ignored because they do not come directly from local budgets.

Liberty and Prosperity Events: The organization is hosting a fundraiser on February 15th at Josie Kelly’s in Somers Point, featuring Senator Michael Testa as the guest speaker.

The Liberty and Prosperity fundraiser is an annual event held every February. The 2026 fundraiser is scheduled for February 15th at Josie Kelly's Public House in Somers Point, New Jersey.

Excerpts of Seth Grossman Saturday Interview with John Demasi (Jan17, 2025): 

 

DEMOCRATS ARE ORGANIZING VIOLENT PROTESTS IN MINNESOTA BECAUSE THEY WORK.

 

SETH GROSSMAN:  Let me answer your question. What is causing these protests? Why are they being done? Well, they're being done because they work.  What is their purpose? If you go back to 1905, you had a guy called Vladimir Lenin.  I'm not talking about John Lennon, the Beatle. I'm talking about Vladimir Lenin, the most successful Communist agitator in the world. He was trying to start a Communist Revolution in Russia in 1905. And the technique he used was to stage these protests, or demonstrations to show that the Communist Party represented all the, oppressed working people and peasants of Russia, who were victims, and that the government of the Czar was controlled by the rich and powerful. And Lenin wanted to show that the rich and power were brutal and unfair to poor working people and farmers, so the Communists would stage these demonstrations. Now this was in Russia, in 1905. That was 120 years ago.

 

VLADIMIR LENIN INSTRUCTED COMMUNISTS TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING IN RUSSIA IN 1905.

 

Above Image: Vladimir Lenin. In 1905, Lenin took full control of the Communist (Bolshevik) Party. In 1917, Lenin and his Communists overthrew the elected government and took control of Russia. During the next five years, Lenin and his followers killed some 10 to 14 million people in and around Russia through war, starvation and mass executions. 

And this is how Lenin and the Communists would stage their demonstrations. They would put women and children in the front, complete with their baby carriages, and they would deliberately walk into areas where they would disrupt traffic or threaten the security of government buildings. That arranged these demonstrations so that the police had to physically block them.  The police had to physically stop women with baby carriages from blocking a street or entering a military area.  Now at that point, Lenin instructed his hard core radical terrorists to throw rocks or acid into the faces of the police.  And when the police tried to defend themselves or go after the terrorists hitting them with rocks or acid, they could not avoid knocking down women and children and babies in their strollers would get knocked over and some would be killed.

 

COMMUNISTS HAVE BEEN USING THE SAME PLAYBOOK FOR THE PAST 120 YEARS. AND THEIR METHODS STILL WORK!

 

And of course, the Communists had lots of photographers their and artists to make sketches. And the whole world saw images of brutal police attacking innocent women and children. Now this was back in 1905. And that technique was so successful that, twelve years later, Lenin and the communist party took over Russia in the 1917 Revolution. Communists and Socialists and the Left have been using those identical tactics ever since. In fact, they used to set up what they called Lenin Schools to teach those tactics to Communist organizers all over the world. This is how Communists took over governments in Cuba, China, Vietnam, and Venezuela. That's how they worked with radical ayatollah's to take over Iran. What is really amazing is that they haven't changed their playbook in 120 years. But their plays still work!

 

So you'll notice that all of the demonstrators in Minneapolis, they're all white women, very attractive, sympathetic people. But they all deliberately put themselves in positions where the police have to respond, just like in Russia in 1905. And when the police respond, they eventually find a bad officer, or a careless officer, or an officer having a bad day, or they put the officer in a situation where he has no choice.  Eventually, they get the shootings they want. Eventually, they get the brutality they want. And this is very, very effective.

 

BECAUSE OF THESE CONFRONTATIONS, 53% THINK THE SHOOTING BY ICE WAS NOT JUSTIFIED.  57% DISAPPROVE OF THE METHODS BEING USED BY ICE (IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT).

 

I just looked at the latest polls. Right now, 57% of the of American voters disapprove of the methods used by ICE, which is Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 53% of voters, thought that the shooting of that woman was NOT justified. So you see how successful these tactics have been. They completely turned public opinion against, the enforcement of federal law. And as you pointed out, there's no question that the federal agents have the right to do what they are doing. Just look at Article VI of our  US Constitution.

 

Article VI Clearly States that the US Constitution and Federal Immigration Laws are "The Supreme Law of the Land".

 

Article VI clearly states that our Federal Constitution, and all laws made in pursuance thereof, which includes Immigration Laws, are "the Supreme Law of the Land".  It also says that every police officer, every judge, every state legislator before taking office has to take an oath to support the Constitution and those federal laws. So, these Democrats keep using the term sanctuary to describe their cities and states, but they are really Confederates. These Democrats are doing exactly what Democrats did n 1860 when Abraham Lincoln was elected President. That is how they started the Civil War in South Carolina.

 

Saul Alinsky taught these methods in his 1960's book Rules for Radicals. However, he just described the methods used by Communists since 1905!

 

But the fact is that Democrats, socialists, and Communists, and Muslim Brotherhoods are all using techniques that Vladimir Lenin perfected in Russia in 1905. These methods have been taught in Communists schools since then.  That 1950's leftist agitator Saul Alinsky did not invent these methods when he wrote his book Rules for Radicals. He was just repeating word for word what Vladimir Lenin said to his followers in 1905, and what Communist schools have been teaching their agitators ever since.

 

WHAT SURPRISES ME IS THAT OUR SIDE HASN'T LEARNED HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE TACTICS.

 

So what those Democrats are doing doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is how our side, the Republicans, have not learned how to deal with these tactics. So, if the if the Democrats want violent confrontations in the streets of Minneapolis, why would you send more police to give them the confrontations you want? I'm sure that if we would get 20 random people together at a Liberty and Prosperity breakfast and talk about this, these ordinary people would figure out a better response within twenty minutes. They would say things like, "Don't arrest those people with a big crowd around. Get the license plate number and impound the car and arrest them when they get home and are by themselves. Arrest them at night when there are no cameras around. Isn't that what the Iranian government did? The first thing the Iranian government did to crush their protestors was to turn off the Internet. They turned off the phones. They turned off the cameras, and they arrested and killed people when nobody was looking. And so they succeeded. So the Communists who invented these methods 120 years ago know exactly how to defeat them.

 

Now of course, we are a nation that has a Constitution and values and protects life and liberty. I am not saying we should shoot or kill people for doing this. However,
