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.

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,
