3.13.26 Brian Fitzherbert WOND Radio

You're talking with Ann on Newsdog 1400 and 92.3 W O N D. Good morning everyone. This is Ann Baker. I'm talking with Ann on news talk 1492.3 W O N D

call online 609 927 1100 and because it is Friday, I have my Brian Fitzherbert on on Fitzherbert Friday. Brian, are you there?

I'm here and thanks for having me. No, good morning and welcome. Did we bring a guest with us? I am, I am looking forward to that. If in fact,

our assemblyman was able to make it in. We will have to delay that to another Friday, but we will make that happen. Good. Good, because I noticed some of the bills that are assemblymen who are Republicans try to pass for the good of the citizens that seem to not get anywhere. Gee, I wonder why that is.

Yeah, it's almost like elections have consequences and even further when you're in the supermanority. Yeah, that is. It's painful to think that people really don't do any research whatsoever and continue to vote, especially Democrats, continue to vote just for Democrats who have done really bad things for our state, including pushing people out of our state who otherwise might stay.

And actually want to open up businesses and things like that.

Well, yeah, I mean, aside from the individual New Jersey, instead of me, that decision, I mean, obviously you all tracks that data as best as anyone, I guess, from those that rent one way you halls, as well as, you know, the businesses that make decisions that they're no longer going to stay here like Exxon did in the last week.

Amazing. Tell it tell the listeners what happened.

So after 144 years, Exxon has made the decision to basically relocate their incorporation to Texas and severing their relationship with the garden state after, I mean, that long, that's, that's an exorbitant amount, but it's for one reason and one reason only.

New Jersey's not a business friendly state. It's not a cost effective state, and it's not an affordable state, and that is due to the Democrats having complete control for a quarter of a century.

With the exception of, you know, Governor Christie being in there for eight years that only put the pause button on most of this stuff or at least put the breaks on some of it, but for most part Democrats have had complete control and they own this.

It's not affordable because the Democrats policies, perspectives and principles, and even more so because there are too many legal immigrants in the state of New Jersey that need to go.

How do we get rid of the sanctuary state sanctuary city garbage? Is there is there a way as long as Democrats are in charge?

It doesn't appear so. I mean, you can bring attention to it. You can do rallies and do everything you possibly can, but until there's actually a change in control in one of the chambers as well as the governor's mansion, that's going to continue lawsuits. You can go multiple avenues, which will take take some time, but this is this is what happens when elections occur and this is what happens when, you know,

you go to the process of nominating individuals instead of having a full blown competition to hear ideas, let people be heard. Sometimes our ideas are crap. Sometimes they're very good and only having a way to do this. But again, in Jersey's problem is a math problem.

They're just happens to be more Democrats and independent leaning Democrats that favor these policies that inadvertently and directly hurt them. And they don't know they're too stupid to know. And that's why. I mean, when you have an 800 to 900,000 voter registration advantage.

That's that's a math problem and trying to adopt Democrat policies and principles as a Republican doesn't get anywhere. I mean, there's no point. You have to have a diametric difference and a comparison.

You know, you can't be the light version of the Democrats and think it's going to work. Then you're not actually standing up for those principles and values and very unfortunate. And this is again, why elections have consequences?

Yeah, one of the things that I thought was important was the right to carry what is New Jersey's stance on allowing people who have had in-depth lessons in a weaponry and being able to shoot their weapon and having the ability to purchase a weapon because they don't have a record of any illegalities.

Yeah, what's happening with that because we live in a sanctuary city, sanctuary state, anything goes illegals are allowed to roam the street. We see how the crime rate, at least not here in Atlantic City or in Atlantic County so much. But around our state, it particularly in blue cities, the crime rate continues to go up.

Is there anything going on that will allow people who know how to handle a weapon, give them the ability to go and get whatever they need to in order to carry a weapon and perhaps protect the citizens of New Jersey who may come across someone who is a violent criminal.

Yeah, so there's there's monthly facets to this. So obviously the second amendment baked into our constitution, the United States and a decision that was led by the Supreme Court had led this to prevent any of these states like New Jersey that tried to prevent concealed carry.

Hence, there was concealed carry reciprocity in some states, but not in other New Jersey recognized any other states, etc. And you can get a concealed carry license.

Once you go through and pay for in most cases, training and certification fees filing all that kind of stuff, and the Democrats have tried to make this as costly and expensive as possible, which is ironic given their stance when it comes to having voter ID and

the fact that $30 to get a driver's license or non government ID or nine drivers license ID, or any other thing where the passport is a poll to hax ha ha when it comes to getting concealed license. And even more so, you have to show you have to get a firearms ID to be able to buy ammunition in the state in Jersey, not notwithstanding buying actual firearms where you can just go to Delaware, pop in a cabela's and walk in there without even showing an ID to buy.

Ammunition and other things because Delaware doesn't have that kind of scrutiny with regard to that, but it's all in these two years concealed these concealed carry license are for two years, you got to re up them, you got a recoil fly showing that you know how to use a firearm that gets certified, you know, by gun ranger or whatnot, but it's costly each time you do this in the hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

And again, I guess the Democrats thought processes made this will discourage people from doing it for me, it's so costly.

But again, most people are law-abiding citizens that don't want to have the thought of I wish I had my gun as their last one should they be in a situation God forbid where we've seen across the country, in grocery stores, convenience stores, in movie theaters, in downtown cities, in schools. I mean, you name it. It's unfortunate and this has become a thing.

Or you want to be able to defend yourself in those around you using deadly force if necessary. So again, it's a very scary situation, you never want to have to use a firearm to defend or protect yourself, but you don't want to be in a situation where, you know, this could have been avoided, and this is the end and you're completely powerless and not to tie this into international situations, but this is a very scary situation.

But this is precisely why Iran and the people within Iran cannot rise up because they don't have a second amendment. Most countries almost all of them do not have a second amendment where these citizens are armed and can deal with a tyrannical government.

Hence, when we broke away as 13 colonies from the British Empire, this was a paramount so that this would never happen again. We were breaking away from the crown. In a tyrant of a government, we wanted to make sure that the individuals as well as citizens could defend themselves with firearms.

Iran does not have that. That's why you saw, unfortunately, before all this happened with the recent war campaign, where the Ayatollah killed thousands of tens of thousands of protesters in the street because they weren't even armed. They couldn't even fight back. There couldn't be an uprising. And that's why the second amendment so important, notwithstanding New Jersey and New Jersey Democrats trying to do everything they can to make it as impossible to carry a firearm.

I agree. I don't, you know, I think that every single school should be required to have someone who is allowed to carry who has been trained thoroughly in how to protect the buildings or building that he or she is assigned to because we've seen far too many.

I mean, all I have to do is go back to Sandy Hook and my eyes fill up. It's had there been anyone there at the front desk who had in fact known how to handle a gun had a gun, but they lived in a state where it was anti gun anti carry all the other things that diminished their their ability in the school systems to protect the students that were sitting there.

You know, enjoying the day and to have some monster come in with a gun and be able to kill them willy nilly as this person did had there been someone there and quite frankly, I think it should be a legal manner. I think every single school district should have an expert in dealing with guns sitting in the front and making sure that no one attempts to get into a school.

And that should anyone show signs of wanting to commit violent acts that they would be there to stop them.

Absolutely. I mean, we shouldn't be spending taxpayer dollars to get English as the second language teachers to support illegal immigrant children in our schools. That money should be used for hardening our schools and protection with someone who's trying to use firearm.

And unfortunately, again, this is where priorities differ in terms of political parties. And it's just it breaks your heart when you see these stories, it breaks your heart when you see the catastrophic ones like like Sandy hook like you mentioned and others that have that have happened over the years, it just like you said, it wells up the eyes and it could have been avoided, but there's just a fundamental difference.

And again, there are evil people out there and there is no understanding them. And it's not like most of these instances, again, from a mental health standpoint or however you want to put it, break down the American family, the nuclear family from broken homes, broken families, you name it, it's all we've seen it before.

It's very unfortunate and this all ties together. And you know, New Jersey is just continuing this trek to this failed blue state status that is not safe, that is not law abiding.

That makes it very, very difficult to stay here and a lot of people are making a very specific decision to leave based on a number of those things.

But seriously, businesses are going to a business friendly states. They are leaving and when they leave the people who have worked for them for years.

Also have to leave, which means that our state is going to be getting less and less and tax dollars because businesses have left and the people who work for them have left as well.

Is there anything that you think can be done? I mean, I know that Assemblyman Bergen was going to be on with you and we will have him on somewhere down the line.

But is there anything that any Republican can do here in New Jersey that would force an issue before the state, before the citizens that would actually push them to do what was best for the taxpayer?

Again, it's continuing to introduce bills. I mean, the likely will not get out of many much less on the court if you vote it on.

So you can see where the representatives stand on these things, especially with Republicans in the super minority, but it's talking about it.

It's bringing attention to all kinds of ridiculousness and the spending. I mean, it's just unbelievably absurd.

But this is where we are. This is what happens when there's 25 years of one party rule.

And this ludicrous nonsense of trying to compromise so you can get scraps and crumbs.

Guess what? At the end of the day, you still have scraps and crumbs and you sacrificed your principles and your values to get them.

So ultimately, it's again, you have stark leaders like Canitra, Bergen and others in the Assembly that continue to bring attention to not only conservative principles, but common sense when it comes to spending or policy.

Or any of this stuff, it's you have to bring attention to it. You have to rally and you have to build a case.

And this does not happen overnight, especially when there's people who are resistant.

And even further, when you're outnumbered, again, it's a sad fact, but it is a fact it is a math problem in the state of New Jersey.

And it's going to continue to be a math problem because the people that would probably help our cause are making their individual decision and no one can blame them.

To leave the garden state. And guess what? There were punished by people in crazy places like New York City that are looking at New Jersey relatively speaking like, oh, this is nothing.

I have been looking at what the new governor is doing what she has done that takes away our ability to protect ourselves because we are sanctuary, a sanctuary state.

And also because sanctuary states are here because she wants to protect illegal immigrants. Is there any way that we will ever be able to get beyond that?

And will governors begin to pay attention to what they should or shouldn't do to make sure that their citizens are safe or not?

This governor obviously wants illegal immigrants to have all the freedom of citizens despite the fact that they may have a long and awful, ugly violent record.

Yeah, so again, this is this is where my stance again is is very specific, right? Any and all legal aliens that are here are criminals, regardless of how long they've been here, regardless of how long their rap sheet is, which it shouldn't even have been there.

And you name it. It's their first their first act on American soil was a criminal one. And that is deport deportation for all of them. However, it's very difficult to do this when you have a state like New Jersey. That is resistant to working with the federal government with basically the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, etc.

So then the irony is if they had actually worked hand in hand with these federal agencies, you wouldn't have a situation where which we've seen in Minnesota and other states where they go in and they cast a wide wet because they're going after the criminals first because that's easy because they're in a database to go after first.

And then by doing a wide net there, they're also capturing those that may be associates that are also legal aliens, which is again that kind of makes me laugh because if they didn't have these policies in place and they actually coordinate that once they were held in jail.

That they would be handed off instead of releasing them into the community that that endangers you me and everybody listening for ICE to go in and actually surgically find these in the community.

So again, it's very difficult with the state of New Jersey and all you can really do is bring attention to this and bring it up and actually have a platform.

You know, the Republican party statewide and even the counties, you have no idea what they stand for. They have no platform. They have no issues that they specify and you just assume that they are in line with the Republican party that's on a national stage.

But are they? I mean, most people don't even know where Republican candidates on the local level even stand on issues and are they vetted? Do they stay?

No questions are ever asked, much less what are five things that the Republican party in New Jersey stands for that you can use to run on as a campaign against these Democrats to build a coalition.

We don't even do that. We don't even have the fundamentals of that. It's really it's really unfortunate.

It is, but I don't know how to get beyond it. I look at Democrats. Now we just had a budget where the governor governor Mikey told everyone what how much we're in debt and what we're going to do and how much she's going to spend.

And I'm thinking to myself, well, once more, we've got someone who really doesn't give a darn whether or not our taxes go up or not.

And then I thought, well, maybe, you know, she's terrible.

Then I look at Mayor Parker from Philadelphia. And again, she reminds me of Mamdani, a truth socialist communist. She wants she wanted to allocate $25 million for zero fair rides, you know, bus, whatever,

and I'm thinking to myself, how does she expect a business to make any money and to be able to stay viable? If in fact she's willing to give free rides for however long it's going to take to get to that $25 million because you know that it's going to really costs so much more than that when everybody wants a free ride.

Well, absolutely. And the thing that cracks me up is William Bradford did this, you know, 400 years ago, the experiment of all these Democrats pushing socialism and free stuff and the backs off of those that actually produce versus those that don't.

I mean, it's the same old same old you can't you want to unleash prosperity, you want to unleash productivity.

You don't have these burdensome regulations and you don't give freebies like there's like there's like it's free candy.

I know it's absurd. No work, no food. Okay, yeah, we've got to take a quick break, Brian, but keep that in mind, please, especially about Mr. Bradford.

Okay, what can we possibly bring to our country that William Bradford had in mind when he was when he headed the the Plymouth congregation, so to speak.

Is there anything?

Yeah, so when he was like governor, you know, they tried the experiment of everyone pitching in to do things as a group as a settlement, right?

And it turned out that there were people that did not contribute that slacked you name it, right?

So then he decided, I'm just going to carve up individual lots for families to work on to build and form and grow their crops, et cetera.

And lo and behold, when it was individual empowerment, they got to reap the benefits of what they worked for and incentivize them to work for it.

And this is so basic and yet it doesn't happen as much as we'd like in the United States say the amount of welfare, the amount of, I mean, there's a specific need, right?

People Americans in particular are very generous to help people that are in need.

However, they get very, very ticked off when that generosity is taken advantage of and people just live off something.

And, you know, they same argument that if someone gets disabled and then they're on disability from the government forever because they can't do their job, what's to stop them from being trained to do something else?

If you're physically unable to do something, but you can run a phone, you can do, there's plenty of customer service jobs out there that are, that people are willing to hire for, that you don't have to be on a government dime for and training programs to make that happen.

It's not how things operate and there isn't, there isn't that ability and, you know, what, what doge continues to uncover in the federal government going from each agency to each agency to each organization, each organization, the amount of fraud that is there is just my numbing, absolute my numbing.

And it's because we tolerate this notion to avoid individual responsibility among others, but individual empowerment and dependence.

We want people to take care of themselves, not the government take care of you and the Democrats position over and over again is a sheer fact that guess what?

We believe that you're too stupid to take care of yourself, hence you need all these government programs, so hence vote for us and we can take care of you.

That's their perspective.

I know big government that sort of identifies you as a Democrat, someone who wants everyone to have the ability to eat, to be clothed, to have shelter without working.

And we've seen that that really is not a very good idea because when Biden allowed all these illegal immigrants to come into our country, they, they simply fell into that same pot.

We gave them everything they needed. Why would it be impossible to believe that they wouldn't want to leave?

They would find places to hide in the shadows so that they could continue to take from America rather than be participating in making it a better country by doing it legally.

Yeah, I mean, it used to be, and this is what drives me not, you used to be able to prove that you could take care of yourself, that you wouldn't be a burden to society, that you didn't have any health issues,

much less diseases that would be a burden on society, and that you could assimilate, integrate, and speak the language, i.e. English.

That notion, I mean, there's even a resistance of assimilation these days. It's ridiculous. This is our country, and we have every right to decide who and what comes into our country for whatever reason.

Some of us have been here for 50 years. Some of us have been here for hundreds of years. We have every right to make a decision with regard to that and expect our representatives to carry out and be the vehicle to represent us in this constitutional republic.

Unfortunately, a lot of times on both sides of it all, that has not happened.

No, Democrats believe in big government. They will do whatever is necessary to expand government and bureaucracy.

When they do so, it's like how can people vote for them? Don't they recognize the fact that when you expand bureaucracy that you need tax dollars and mass to pay these people off to expand your power base, which is the bureaucracy?

100%. And that's why, again, the SAVE Act is very crucial when it's a literally 85% plus issue for Americans, poll after poll regardless of race, regardless of sex, regardless of anything, 85% of Americans believe this and want to support voter ID for any and all elections.

And yet, you have resistance, not just from the Democrats, but there's even some resistance from some of the Republicans. Now, this will be put to the floor.

But unless it gets 60 votes to end a cloture and the filibuster, it's not going anywhere, unless the Senate Majority Leader Thun decides to go back to a talking filibuster instead of what it is right now that if you don't support something, you just sell the clerk.

I don't support this. So there's not going to be 60 votes. So why even go through the exercise of putting it on the floor, even if it fails through a vote anyway.

But we want to get people on record if they're opposed to this because the excuses of why is ridiculous. The idea that a driver's license or any other form of ID, you need multiple forms of ID whenever you do anything else.

What is the big deal? Excuse me with regard to anything on voting, which is the most important aspect. You need to show who you are and prove who you are and it's have that in place.

It's just absurd that there's pushback and it's absurd because the pushback is we're going to have election integrity. It means it makes it very, very hard for people to cheat.

It makes it very, very hard for people to claim other thing. I mean voting by mail, especially what we've seen since COVID, where apartment complexes where people have lived so transient, common gone and voter registration may not have been updated, even if people have left the state because it's your personal responsibility to do that, but really the state or whatever it's, you know, it's just left there.

We don't have go to purge laws like there are an audio where if you don't go into consecutive elections, you're purged from voters roles and you have to re register because of the assumption is that you left the state or moved away or whatever.

We don't have that in the state of New Jersey. So even if you had this from a federal standpoint from federal elections that, yep, I show a passport or I show a driver's license and there are so security card or whatever it is in terms of forms of ID so that you can vote.

There's nothing wrong with that and if people can't do it, there are avenues to be able to get that.

So everything against this is just ridiculous. It's all about power. It's all about winning elections and the Democrats know they don't have the ability to do that when they do ballot harvesting and when they push as we've now seen in multiple states countless examples of illegal aliens voting in elections, but they had no business voted.

Absolutely, which really really fries me. I am so disappointed in some Democrats that I know who want all these illegal immigrants to be able to come in and in fact even speak of them being able to become citizens very quickly so they can vote.

And I'm thinking myself the only reason the Biden Harris, Mayorkas and the rest of those Bums, one of this border open was to get people in that they would then push to have made citizens so they would be voting for all these wonderful Democrats who brought them into our country to relieve us of our tax dollars to be well taken care of.

When I look at other countries and Wilkins have this on his show he had turkey and he had cutter and the amount of time that needs to be had to become a citizen of those countries is amazing.

I mean five years minimum residency for naturalization eight years for long term residents status citizenship by investment you have to invest $400,000 in real estate or 500 in capital investment to become a citizen of turkey of all places and and cutter isn't any better 20 years legal residents for permanent residency.

90% of cutters population are foreigners but only the tiniest fraction of them are naturalized why because they make it difficult to become a citizen to get I guess with the benefits of being a citizen.

Absolutely and I have every right to do that and the fact that we don't even consider that again is just mind blowing again chain migration needs to go.

Greater scrutiny on asylum requirements temporary stats all this stuff on top of this year fact of all those instances to make sure.

That people are here for the right reasons and the right.

We have every right to side it's no different than you or me anybody listening that make a determination of whether or not someone can come into our house.

Whether it's for a short period of time for a visit or or whatever that may be there's a vetting process and the fact that again.

Joe Biden flu open the borders that accelerate this even further notwithstanding the the millions upon millions tens of millions of legal.

Just since the turn of century that have come into this country illegally and we haven't gotten out I mean again we know exactly how to handle this and Trump is doing a lot of it and obviously the Supreme Court.

Is going to be ruling very shortly with regard to birthright citizenship as it's been interpreted right now because it's never been challenged that's going to be also very interesting to see how that pans out.

With with subject to the Constitution et cetera but again we have every right and everything that has happened is it makes me laugh because again there's always this argument from the left that we're in the United States as a nation of immigrants no we're not and we never have been.

This nation was a British and Dutch settlers who then decided over time to allow more people to come into the country so that's absolute nonsense.

From a from a summary standpoint and again they will do everything and anything they can because guess what once people are wise to the democratic parties policies and positions.

Guess what when you pay more taxes when you have more individual responsibility you associate more with a conservative principle and Republican party so what happens they have to find more voters and the only way they can find more voters is to import them.

Really drives me crazy we have bill for me is landing morning bill welcome how are you.

How you doing pretty good what's up everybody talks about the immigrants from Mexico with the wall and everything like that and the Mexicans what about the Indians that come into this country that own almost every gas station almost every liquor store almost every.

What are they many march were to buy the lottery ticket you know that.

Comfortably does want about that how come Americans are owning these gas stations Brian.

Well I suspect most of these individuals that are doing it the right way by coming into this country and they've legalized I mean it's very very difficult for illegal aliens to basically get bank loans or come up with cash to be able to have capital to buy.

A lot of these incidents even if they're legal how they jump ahead of rail Americans I'm sure there's plenty of Americans are looking for a business.

We're giving a good idea.

Regardless of what anyone looks like or where they come from if they're here legal that's a different that's a different story and if they're taking advantage of opportunities that Native Americans that have been here aren't taking

advantage of because they'd rather not be you know excited to do so or competitive to do so again that's that's the free market the free market has allowed that to happen.

Yeah if I went to Canada if I went to Canada I wouldn't be allowed to own a business and that's what it should be.

Well that's where you encourage elected representatives to introduce bills and pass legislation that says those sort of things just like in my view we should have legislation that prevents Chinese nationals from buying land in the United States.

We need to pass a law that prevents that because I don't want any Chinese national that's connected to the CCP that hasn't come to this country abandoned their Chinese citizenship

and assimilated into this country in order to buy land and that's something that has to be debated on introduced as a bill pass through legislation and if there is support for the passes if there isn't then that idea dies as well.

Everything has an opportunity to go through the laboratories of democracy at the state level or even the federal level but it matters when you get represents and if there is an aim represents is willing to do it then you should get

an interest in running for office and going after a passion of something like that and use Canada as an example.

And there you go Bill thank you for the call very interesting we've all seen it we know that it happens but I think we're talking about legal citizens anyway thanks Bill.

Brian we've only got a few minutes left what what what issue would you like to tackle in the in the few minutes that are available that I I

know I think of you I think of Paul can Etra I think of of the gentleman we were going to have today and I think to myself you're the kind of people that we need to have in office who will push I suppose with your legislation the very best things that could possibly happen to New Jersey citizens you're the ones we need in office.

Well you know there's guys that continue to fight in the state legislature like some women can Etra women Bergen some women Greg Meyer up in Ocean County as well and others that push conservative principles and common sense ideas but again if the math doesn't math unfortunately in the state of New Jersey.

It makes a very difficult I've said countless times a Republican in Texas is a whole lot different than a Republican and Connecticut and a Republican Massachusetts is a whole lot different than a Republican.

A lot different than a Republican in Pennsylvania and a Republican Oklahoma's a whole lot different than a Republican in New Jersey and that's again where the idea of having a party platform and things to run on of common principles should be the should be a message but we don't even have that here in the state of New Jersey.

Even have a palm card like for instance nonprofit organization library prosperity has with regard to their 11 and 12 points that focus on issues for alignment and it makes it very very difficult to get on board especially when there's no strategy there's no end game especially after 15 point embarrassment this past November on the statewide level as well as the the losses and in predominantly Republican places.

Down ballot where the Democrats continue to build on their numbers and again the state legislature is a super minority for Republicans and basically this is apparently it's not bad enough because usually when he gets to the point of it's bad enough the math is irrelevant and people turn the light switch but 25 years of Democrat rule or a recentry in the garden state and everything that's going to happen.

And everything that has made the state so unaffordable driven by Democrats and Democrat policy apparently it's not bad enough it's got to get worse for global.

Yeah isn't it amazing I did myself because they they had made mention that it was all the women who were in you know central North Jersey that just you know they embraced this woman this helicopter pilot this cheater they embraced her.

And they brought her to a position of huge power in our country and I'm thinking myself what's what's the end line for this why would they want someone who's lack of integrity was shown who may have been in the military but even there we we have questions about her military service.

And yet because she was a woman and a liberal progressive our liberal progressive women that dimwitted that they don't look at the issues of taxes of education of medical care of all of the things that are included in becoming the best leader of a state didn't they bother to look.

Well it wasn't even just that I mean it was hijacking affordability as a campaign issue which is ludicrous to think about that Democrats would say that they're going to be the party of affordability and even more so it's like I said before it's a math problem it's your team first my team she happened to be on the team of all these women and all these voters that decided that that's our team we're going to stick with our team no matter what.

And that's how we're going to vote regardless and you know what you get what you vote for good and hard and a lot of these individuals are going to do and that's why it's so ironic when you have someone like senator Cory Booker who obviously has presidential aspirations for 2028 trying to copy Trump and the Republicans by trying to address his tax plan which again.

Trump talked about this by making it again you can't repeal the 16th amendment but you can increase the standard deduction which right now is somewhere in the $30,000 range for married couple.

And you have someone like Booker and Van Hollen and Maryland who I guess he has presidential aspirations as well to try to crank this up to 75,000 or $100,000 standard deduction which is which is good on that front great that's what Trump and the Republican have talked about for years.

But it's a quote unquote quote for it as they put it which ridiculous comment you can ever pay for tax cuts because again it's spending that you raise the rate on all the high income earners well guess what supply side economic says if you tax something more you're going to get less of it meaning people have options they're going to make different decisions on.

Gaking risks and all that kind of stuff so and again to raise the corporate tax rate all this other nonsense so again Democrats haven't really learned this but it is interesting that they are going back to a JFK mindset of all basically the tide raises all boats by cutting taxes across the board.

And instead of Cory Booker in particular representing the state of New Jersey realizing you know what maybe we spend too much money maybe there's too much fraud.

Maybe we need to pull back on this maybe there's too many illegal immigrants in this country we got to get them out because it's causing too much demand in terms of housing raising the price of right and everything else and there's too much demand for for education because illegal aliens and their kids to schools we're going to go higher English as second language teachers and drivers license that incur no for you know for illegal aliens that you can't get insurance so obviously those of us who have car insurance have to pay for more of it I mean all these costs and then going to.

Basically health care.

Urging care hospitals all that kind of stuff nope this Cory Booker think about that no the common sense is to eliminate the demand which is illegal aliens that aren't here that are driving up the cost as well as cutting spending and finding all this fraud that's clearly evident in multiple places at state and federal government but no they don't they don't think to do that.

No well I think bureaucracy sometimes that's bloated that's allowed to fester because somebody wants power I think if he began cutting the bureaucracy if Elon Musk was still in charge of doge I know the doge is still out there but we need to cut across the board so many of these bureaucratic departments that are not doing the job that are totally unnecessary and as he said you know Brian

each and every one of us should be independent workers we should want to make our success based on how hard we are willing to work or how great our mind works and other than that it's all BS.
