March 21, 2026 Seth Grossman Radio: Casino Taxes Pay $96,453 to “Atlantic County Queer Alliance.” Killing Islamic Leaders Who Want to Die as Martyrs. Why We Can No Longer Afford Public Schools. “Public” Planning For Ocean City “Wonderland”, Atlantic City Bader Field” Kills Jobs, Makes Everything Too Expensive.

And before Seth Grossman gets into anything,

we have a most important thing to ask him.

What really happened to the Irish pub

on St. Patrick's Day, Seth?

And, of course, I don't know.

Until I read it in the newspaper,

I had no idea they were not open either.

But that's, I hate to let you down.

But I do not have inside information on the Irish pub.

You know, and then I have a lot of fond memories,

you know, for more than 50 years.

Yes, like, yeah.

Well, it was very strange.

St. Patrick's Day and the Irish pub is closed.

Yeah, and, in fact, I do remember,

they organized the first St. Patrick's Day parade

back in the 1980s.

And I remember marching down with Cassie Burke

and she put that whole thing together.

And this year, we had the biggest one ever.

So it is a sad and ironic that the person who started it

wasn't there for the best St. Patrick's Day parade

at Atlantic City ever had.

But, but anyway, I'm going to lead you

to some other topics here.

LibertyInTrust30.com, of course,

we're an organization of like-minded people.

We meet for breakfast and talk about the issues at 9.30

every Saturday morning at Sal's Cold-Fired Pizza

and Summer's Point.

We have our LibertyInTrust30.com website.

We have special events from time to time.

We have free email updates.

And if you'd like to get them,

you just sign up through the website,

or email us at infoatlibertyinTrust30.com.

But what's interesting is we are a typical private association

which America was famous for.

We're about 180 people.

We get together, we pay dues, we raise funds,

and we raise about $30,000, $33,000 a year

to be on the radio, to be on the web,

to have the newsletter, to do all these things.

And it's discouraging and ironic when you find out

that there are other groups that pursue agendas

that we disagree with, that we are paying for.

So think of all the fundraising events,

all the dues begging for money every week,

begging for money on our website.

You have another group that's smaller than us,

called the Atlantic County Queer Alliance,

and on St. Patrick's Day list, Tuesday no less,

the CRDA, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority,

JV Atlantic County Queer Alliance, $96,453.23.

So without having to have any fundraisers,

without having to beg people for money,

without having to have dues,

this group, smaller doors, pursuing an agenda,

no one denies them of the right to claim their agenda.

But they're gonna get three times the money

that we have to fight and work for every week,

just because some politicians wanna buy votes

by giving them $96,453.23.

And the interesting thing is probably nobody even knows

that CRDA gives money to groups like that,

with that much money.

But if you got our Liberty and Press Burdy email update,

we reported that, nobody else did.

Wow, $96,000.

So I could start an organization and call it whatever

and maybe pitch the CRDA and maybe I can get some money.

Right, and now that I'm sure the CRDA say,

well, you know, the lot of the people who support LGBQ plus,

I guess it is, lesbian, bisexual, gay, trans, queer,

trans, queer, questioning, plus, you know.

So I'm sure what they said is, you know,

we have a nice group and we're gonna go, you know,

to the Atlanta City casinos and spend money.

So give us $96,000 to promote our group.

And I guarantee you, if the CRDA would give Liberty

and Press $30, $96,000, we'd have all sorts of events

to invite people to come to Atlanta City to enjoy it.

But it just shows how once you open the door

and say that government has the power

to take money from people they don't like

and give it to money they do like, it never ends

and it leads to nothing but waste, corruption, abuse,

and here we are.

Yeah, that's true.

That's true.

You know, hey, maybe you should pitch the CRDA

to give you some money.

Yeah, the interesting, because again, I think whatever reason

that the LGBTQ plus people have to get $96,000,

we can make that same argument.

And maybe just for fun, we should put together

that rant application in the sea.

Yeah.

This is how government is being misused.

All right, but go ahead.

Go ahead.

I would do it.

I would do it.

Put that on your agenda.

Meanwhile, you were talking about the war in Iran right now.

And as a boomer, you know,

our generation grew up, our dads were in World War II.

And their friends were in World War II.

We heard all the stories.

And I remember being in junior high school

having a social studies teacher in Atlantic City

called Mr. Workshapter, I think it was Stanley Workshapter.

And he told us he was in a tank unit in Germany

at the end of World War II.

And he talked about fighting the Hitler youth.

And he would tell us that these 13 and 14-year-old kids

would run at them with grenades.

They'd hide, they'd shoot these bazookas

that they called Panzerfaust.

They wouldn't surrender.

And they had to kill every one of them.

And he talked about how awful it was

to look at these 13, 14, 12-year-old kids

that they had to kill.

And these kids were determined to kill them.

And I talked to veterans who were at Okanawa.

And we talked about being there

where women and children would shoot at them

with never surrender, that they'd take many good friends

of theirs were killed because of this.

They would crash airplanes into their ships.

And what motivated them to do that?

It was because those German kids

believed the most important thing they could do in their life

was to die for Germany, to die for Hitler.

And the same thing that Japanese,

the most noble thing, the greatest achievement would be

to die fighting for the emperor.

And how do we deal with this?

Do we go to war with them by choice?

And the answer is in World War II,

we did not go to war against them by choice.

We watched Germany form an army against a treaty.

We saw Germany march that army to the French border.

And we did nothing.

We saw Germany take over Austria and we did nothing.

We saw Germany invade Poland and we did nothing.

And then suddenly on December 11th, 1941,

Germany declared war on us.

And the same thing with Japan.

We didn't get into a war of choice against Japan.

We let Japan take over Korea and we did nothing.

We let them invade China and we did nothing.

We let them murder about 700,000 people in Nanking

in 1937 and we did nothing.

And then suddenly on December 7th, 1941, they attacked us.

So when you talk about a war of choice,

sometimes the war of choice means they're going to come

after you at some point and do you fight them when they're

weaker or do you fight them when they're stronger?

Do you fight them when they have a nuclear weapon?

And my concern about Trump may not be because he's doing

what he's doing, but he should have been explaining all

along what we're up against.

And the fact that nobody is explaining what we're up against.

And it's almost like some of these newscasters

or military experts are looking like they're watching video

games.

Well, look, we did this, look, we did that.

And we forget that you remember in doing a rock war,

the shock and awe that we were supposed to drop all these bombs

and then we're going to surrender.

They never surrendered.

When we kill these leaders, we're actually giving them

what they want because what is motivating these guys,

according to their view of Islam, the most important concept

in Islam is what's called the day of judgment.

They call it the Yamal Kiyama.

And on that day of judgment, everybody dies.

And they're either going to go to Paradise,

which is Yana where they're going to go to eternal hellfiles,

hellfires, you know, Yahanim, I think they call them.

And so how do you get to heaven?

Well, you're supposed to do or paradise.

You're supposed to do all these wonderful things.

But most people don't.

Most people have sinned.

They've done things wrong.

They didn't follow the teachings of Muhammad.

So what's a sure way to get into heaven anyway

or to paradise?

And the answer is, if you die while doing G-Had,

all your sins are instantly forgiven

and you instantly spend eternity in paradise,

complete with your 72 versions.

So what you have is all these people we're killing,

we're doing everything they want.

You know, they're fulfilling their dreams.

And they're, you know, for everyone we kill,

we have 20 that are eager to take their place

because they want the same thing.

And we're laughing and joking like we're achieving something.

But, you know, you're either going to defeat them completely

or they're going to wear us down.

And it's just like with Germany and Japan,

you know, suppose we do nothing.

Well, we let them take over, let them destroy Israel,

let them destroy all these countries in the Middle East,

let them kill all the Christians in Nigeria,

let them take over Africa.

At some point, they're going to be here.

And we're not preparing our kids.

We're not preparing anybody as to how dangerous

these people are.

Well, I said it, they have no value for life.

And you just proved it with what you were talking about.

They really don't value, like there's glory and death.

And by the way, what I just told you is exactly,

I know I bring this up over and over again,

but that young man that came and I can't think

of his name right now, the one who grew up in Margate,

a graduate landing city of high school in 2010

and then joined and became a leader of the Islamic State.

He made a video addressed to all, you know,

Muslim kids in America saying that same thing.

You know, how to avoid hellfire?

Easy.

Get yourself killed, killing infidels in the jihad.

And you don't have to worry about sins.

You don't have to worry about being a failure.

Suddenly you're an instant success.

Anyway, before I get too depressed,

let me talk about what's going on.

Now, of course, in our, we talked about last week,

the egg harbor public schools are going $36 million

into debt to do routine maintenance for their schools.

And of course, the engineer did it with that referendum.

They could, the school board could have put this

on the ballot last November when you had 18,000 people voting.

But they knew that most taxpayers,

egg harbor township would vote against borrowing the money.

And so they hold a special election on March 10th,

when only 2400 people turned out.

And of course, they got 1,400 votes.

They like that tiny percentage,

but that's enough to borrow the $36 million.

But let's look at the big picture.

Why is it that schools are so unaffordable?

When we boomers were young,

everybody had lots of kids.

There were lots of schools.

You only had one parent working.

You know, one parent could afford a good house.

One parent could afford the property taxes.

There was no sales taxes, no state income tax.

And everything was fine.

Today, it now costs $25,000 each year

to educate one child in our public schools.

So you're looking at one classroom with 20 kids in it.

And that's costing a half a million dollars a year.

So look at the arithmetic.

You have a $300,000 house.

So a $300,000 house in typical suburb

would pay maybe $89,000 a year in property taxes.

But suppose that family has two kids.

Those two kids are costing the town $50,000 a year

just for the schools, not for anything else.

So right away, every time you have a house with two kids in it,

the town is losing $42,000 a year on that family.

So that's why it's every town, every politician,

it's the children of the enemy.

We have to have zoning with us to keep out children,

just have senior citizen-only places.

And to keep the property taxes down,

look what we've been doing for the past 50 years.

To pay for these schools, first we had a sales tax.

That wasn't enough.

Then we had a state income tax, and that wasn't enough.

Then we had Jimmy Carter promise to set up

a federal department of education to give us federal money.

And that's not enough.

And now, Edgar Barber Township has to borrow $36 million

just to sort of fix the leaks and the roof

and replace the equipment that's gone.

I mean, this is not sustainable.

But will anybody, any Republican or Democrats, say,

we can't do this anymore.

We have to do something that's different.

And that's what we talk about at LibyanProsperty.com.

That's why we invite people

to join us and come to our meetings and propose solutions

and get the word out.

You know, 25,000 a year, that is a lot of money.

There are private high schools and private schools

in this country that charge that.

But they're giving a top-notch education.

How come it costs so much?

That's my question.

Well, I mean, we could go into a whole take up

a whole three hour program on that.

And it's not just the union salaries.

It's one of the main problems is the idea

that if a kid is not getting an education,

it's the school's fault.

We're not spending enough money.

We don't have a program to reach that kid.

So if you have one kid who's disrupting your class,

we now have to get a special tutor for that kid.

And we're spending $80,000 for one kid

to get his special education.

And so what the administrator says,

well, we can't afford to have that kid get $80,000.

So just leave him in the classroom.

You leave him in the classroom.

He disrupts the whole class.

And now nobody's learning.

So we have to look at what we did as boomers

and maybe get back to that.

Meanwhile, there's one other point I wanted to compare.

And that is what's going on in Ocean City

with the hotel where Wonderland Pier used to be

and Beta Field in Atlantic City.

Because in a way, they're both totally related.

Beta Field has been empty for 30 years.

Why?

Because it used to be an airport.

We don't need it for an airport anymore.

And the town and the local government,

the state's been spending 30 years

looking for the perfect use for the property.

And by looking for the perfect use,

they found no use.

And it's been empty and looking all the money we lost.

So it used to be, we had a very simple rule

with the property owned by the government.

We said, is it used for public use?

We're not used for public use.

Now, it used to be used for public use as an airport.

The minute they decided they didn't need it

for an airport anymore in 1996, 30 years ago,

all the city had to do was we say,

we declared it's not needed for public use,

sell it to the highest bidder.

And what should it be used for?

It's none of our business.

It should be whoever is willing to spend all that money

to that land, let them decide what to do.

Now, you can make rules as what you don't want it to be,

but if they would have sold that building from that all,

if they would have sold beta field for $50, 30 years ago,

they would have collected more taxes in 30 years

than they're gonna get from all these grandios plans

they have now.

And it's the same thing with what's going on

in Wonderland Peer.

You know, what's the perfect use for the property?

Well, if you ask anyone in Ocean City

or so, well, it should be an amusement park.

But it can't be an amusement park

because it lost money for everybody who tried to do it.

It has to be something else.

Well, what else could it be?

Well, why not let the person who's willing

to spend the money to buy it and invest it

and spend their years of their life making something work?

Let's send the side.

But once you let the so-called public decide,

people who call themselves stakeholders,

even as they didn't put a dime into the property

and let them decide what I don't like this.

No, I don't like that. I don't like this.

By the time you get 10,000 people to agree on something,

another, you know, you don't have 30 years go by

just like at Lanning City with beta field.

So anyway, we have to think about why we have private property

because only the owners of property,

only the people who invest and have something

to either gain or lose if the project succeeds or fail,

they should make the decision.

Not people who have nothing to do with it,

who don't know anything about it.

That's what made our free enterprise system work in America.

And that's why socialism has been a disaster everywhere

else in the world when it's been tried.

Anyway, we'll be talking about that.
