About this episode

The provided audio from February 2026 features a discussion led by Seth Grossman of Liberty and Prosperity, focusing on parental rights in education, a critique of the Republican party's current direction in New Jersey, and a set of policy goals for the upcoming year. Education and Parental Rights Opt-Out Rights: The speaker highlights a Supreme Court ruling affirming the right of parents to opt their children out of "dangerous" sexual orientation programs currently being pushed in New Jersey elementary schools (grades 3–5). Non-Binary Trends: The program claims there has been a 4,000% increase in students identifying as non-binary, attributing this to "sick culture" promoted within public schools rather than biological factors. School Board Transparency: Reference is made to Ethel Hermenau and the Galloway Township Board of Education regarding state mandates, alongside claims of misinformation coming from Ocean City public schools. Political Commentary and Events Fundraising Update: A recent Liberty and Prosperity fundraiser raised approximately $12,000 of its $16,000 goal. GOP Convention Review: The speaker critiqued the recent Atlantic County Republican convention, praising presentations by Congressman Jeff Van Drew, County Clerk Joe Giralo, and Sheriff Joe O'Donoghue, while criticizing other officials for a perceived lack of principles. Senator Michael Testa's Message: Testa recently spoke on why Republicans lost significantly in the November elections, suggesting a need for a return to distinct conservative principles. The Role of Government: The speaker argues that government's purpose is not to "help people" (which is the role of charities and churches), but to provide everyone the opportunity to make their own choices. Liberty and Prosperity’s 11 Policy Goals The speaker outlined a platform of "simple programs" intended to promote traditional American values: Mass Deportation: Targeted at foreigners who arrived in the country illegally after 2015. Honest Elections: Implementing a single election day with in-person voting, mandatory voter ID, and strictly limited mail-in ballots. End Green Energy Subsidies: Stopping rate hikes intended to fund wind turbines and solar panels. End Mandatory Recycling: Ceasing government-funded recycling programs in favor of private initiatives. Debt Limitation: Using the Constitution to strictly limit federal and state government debt. Bail Reform Repeal: Reversing the 2014 bail reform amendment to keep "dangerous criminals" off the streets. Protection of the Unborn: Ending the use of tax dollars for Planned Parenthood programs in schools. School Choice: Allowing parents to use state income tax funds to pay for private school tuition. Public Space Protection: Restricting the "freedom" of the homeless to occupy public parks and sidewalks. Property Tax Equity: Distributing property tax relief funds equally to all towns, rather than favoring "Democrat strongholds". Constitutional Enforcement: Opposing a new constitutional convention and focusing instead on enforcing the existing Constitution. Final Call to Action: Listeners are encouraged to move beyond just voting by becoming active members of a major political party to influence change from within.

And by the way, if you go to our website, you don't see a topic that interests you on the homepage, we have hundreds of posts about important issues. And just feel free to look at the search bar, put any word in the search bar, and that will lead you to dozens of articles on that topic. By the way, a very important topic that is posted is the supreme court approved the right of

parents to opt out out of some very, very dangerous sexual orientation programs that are being really pushed on third graders, fourth graders, and fifth graders in many elementary schools in New Jersey. Many school boards are going along with it, saying it's mandated by the state, but it's not mandated by the state. And Ethel Hermanow of the Galloway Township Board of Education has pointed that out. And there's been a lot of misinformation coming out of the Ocean City public schools about what they are doing with their programs. But the fact of the matter is, you have, I forget the number of young children who are 10, 11, 12, 13 years old who are

claiming they are now non-binary. They're not boys, they're not girls, they have some alternative orientation, which they are doing only because the public schools are promoting this very, very sick culture. And if you look at what happens to these unfortunate students or children who identify as non-binary, you see they're just miserable, they're unhappy, they're angry, they get involved in radical causes, they get involved in suicide, they get involved in murdered, they get involved in mass shootings, very, very dangerous, and there's no reason for it. I believe the statistics are there's been a 4,000% increase in students who relate to as being non-binary. So there's no biological reason, there's no reason whatsoever other than some very sick people

and our public schools are pushing children into it. A very heartbreaking story reported in the epic times about parents saying I lost my children, grand parents saying I lost my grandchildren and it all begins with making sure that your children are protected and no one can protect them other than you, the parent, and there are certain forms you could fill out, there's certain rights you need to know so that you know what is being taught to your children in the elementary schools and they are posted at our liberty and prosperity.com website and in the next couple days we'll be posting the forms that you could actually submit to your child school or a grand child school to make sure your child is protected. So we have that going on. Of phone lines are open, 609, 609, 2, 7, no, the 609, 407, 1450. Let me get that right.

Now back to liberty and prosperity, we had our fundraiser, I guess it was on the 15th two weeks ago and we raised about three quarters of our goal. We needed about $16,000, we got about $12,000. So if you have not donated yet or paid your $30 dues, please do so you could go make the donation through the donate tab or a website where you can send a check to liberty and prosperity at what used to be my Seth Grossman Law Office in Summers Point 453 Shore Road in Summers Point or just bring it to any Saturday breakfast at Sal's coal-fired pizza in Summers Point between 930 and 1030. The speaker was Senator Michael Testa and he gave a very important message for Republicans explaining why Republicans got clobbered in the last November

election and offering suggestions as to what must be done if Republicans are going to remain relevant in New Jersey and it's a shame every Republican in South Jersey should have listened to him but only two Republican officials came to our event on February 15th. They were our sheriff Tokyo, Joe O'Donohue and Atlantic City Councilman Jesse Kurtz. I guess all the other Atlantic County Republicans thought there were more important things to do on that particular Sunday and that's fine but they and you can hear what Senator Mike Testa had to say by going to our website we have the complete video presentation up there on the site. I invite you to look at it at liberty and prosperity dot com. Meanwhile last Saturday the Atlantic County Republicans had their

convention at the carriage house in Galloway and there was some good there was some bad and there was some ugly there. The good was Congressman Jeff Andrew gave a very very perceptive presentation again on the theme of what it takes for Republicans to become relevant and win elections again in New Jersey and you also had Atlantic County clerk Joe Gerallo gave a very good presentation as did Atlantic County sheriff Joe O'Donohue. The other speakers not so much but I'm not going to go into detail about who it was or why because I privately reached out to them and said to them what I'm going to say right now and and the ones I spoke to said yes

they want to know more they want to talk about this in detail so I don't want to criticize anybody who recognizes that they've been on the wrong path and at this point seems to to show an indication of being on on the right path and here's the big problem the big problem is the Republican Party in New Jersey has no principles has no reason to be a Republican as opposed to a Democrat if you ask well why are you in public office what's your purpose in running they will say something like well I want to help people well if you want to help people that's your reason for being in politics you're in the wrong place because if you want to help people you should be in a church you should be in a charity you should be with the Red Cross or the Salvation Army where you

raise money from people who donate money and then you give the money to people who you want to help but if you go into politics if you go into government and you say you want to help people well what do you mean help people well which people are you helping and which which people are you hurting because when you have the power of government behind you and you decide you want to help somebody where's the money come from to help well you got to take the money from somebody else so you're really not helping anyone you're helping some people you're hurting other people and that's not what government is there for government is there to basically help everybody by giving everybody the opportunity to make their own choices as to what they want to do and the people who make good choices will do well people who make bad choices won't do so well

but the people who make bad choices will get an education and learn what they did wrong so they could do better next time and the way to do that is to have basic goals as to things that will help everybody and what we did at Liberty and Prosperity we do this at the beginning of every year and we're doing it right now we take basic goals and we say what will promote traditional American values and principles and what will also be supported by 70 to 80% of voters so they will vote for candidates are going to do these things and these are the 12 basic goals that we had last year and I wonder what your thoughts of them are in the phone lines are open 609 407 1450 do you agree or disagree with these goals is there something that we're missing something that

should be on here that's not on here and I'll go through the 12 very quickly number one the mass deportation for foreigners who arrived illegally in this country after 2015 and a case by case review of people who have been in this country more than from before 2015 number two have honest elections one election day with in-person voting and voter ID and very limited mail-in ballots to people who prove they're in the military they're disabled or have well documented travel plans to be out of the state number three end all so-called green energy subsidies stop raising electric rates to pay for wind turbines and solar panels that don't produce any energy when

you need it and if you don't believe when I'm saying how much electricity was produced by the solar panels that were covered with four inches of snow during the past week and how many how much electricity was provided by the wind turbines that were in turning when there was no wind various times during the past week and and what where did the power come from it came from nuclear power gas power and oil so why not build more of the stuff that actually produces the energy we need when we need it and I know I've said this a zillion times but if governor Murphy did not shut down that gas pipeline from Millville to upper township and if he allowed that the power plant at Beasley's point by mile post 29 of the parkway to still be producing electricity

we in South Jersey would have some of the lowest electric bills in the country and some the lowest natural gas bills in the country but we have some of the highest electric and gas bills in the country because we now have to buy our power from hundreds of miles away and we also have to pay for a whole lot of projects that have absolutely nothing to do with making electricity anyway that's number three number four in mandatory government funded recycling if somebody wants to go around picking up paper and make money doing it or picking up 10 cans let them but don't have the government have double trash collection and actually force us to waste energy and water washing our garbage before we throw it into a separate blue garbage they get picked up by a separate trash truck where it then gets you know put on other trucks and

shipped up to a bayon to be sent to third world countries where it gets dumped next to rivers and ends up in the ocean it's absolutely nuts but we're still doing it why number five apply the constitution to limit the government debt at both the federal and the state level number six repeal the 2014 bail reform amendment that puts all these dangerous criminals out in the street did you ever hear one Republican candidate support that you know I didn't maybe you did uh use person number seven use persuasion to protect the unborn uh no more tax dollars to promote uh and fund planned parenthood propaganda in our colleges and high schools number eight rethink public education if our federal not our federal five state income tax

is mostly going to public schools and paying about ten to twelve thousand dollars a year uh for these public schools that are turning our kids into brainwashed illiterates not to mention uh you know the problems with the uh you know the the the sexual nonsense they're teaching these kids uh why can't parents use that money to pick their own private school for their kids that's number eight number nine protect the public from the homeless restrict the freedom of those to deny clean and safe park sidewalks and other taxpayer-funded public spaces for us that's number nine number ten equally distribute the uh property tax relief funds to all towns right now eighty percent of it is going into democrat strongholds and that's why property taxes are so high in republican suburbs and then we finally we have uh

the uh constitutional convention uh there are some people who think that america would be better off if we amend our constitution uh we think that's a very bad idea the problem is we need to enforce the constitution we already have so those are twelve uh simple programs that liberty and prosperity has endorsed what astounds me is that i have not seen one mainstream republican candidate in New Jersey other than maybe you know Jeff van Drew and uh in sheriff of donahue support any of those programs so i think that what we need to do is to approach republicans well if if you could persuade any democrat to agree to this uh let's try but i would say lots of luck i think most are too far gone but the republicans say they represent us that they're defending us against the

democrats but if that's true why hasn't a single republican other than Jeff van Drew uh and i'd say sheriff of donahue and to some extent joe joralo outside those three have uh you heard any republicans uh endorse programs like that so if republicans don't do it how do you get them to change well the first step is to become active in a political party uh not a third party but one of the parties we have now republicans and democrats our slogan is do more than vote
