Above Image From Article in Epoch Times: "Why Family Dinners Are Important": *** Excerpts from Seth Grossman weekly interview on John DeMasi program "Talk with a Purpose" on WPGTalkRadio com, 95.5FM and 1450AM near Atlantic City, NJ: SETH GROSSMAN: I'm calling from West Palm Beach, Florida, this morning. I'm down with one of my daughters, my son-in-law, and two grandkids. So, I'm a little bit removed from the news today. *** TRIBUTE TO WILLARD "BILL" LABARRE, CO-FOUNDER OF CHELSEA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IN 1975: But first, I want to pay tribute to Bill Labarre. He died last December, but they're going to have a tribute for him tomorrow (Sunday, March 29) at the at the Log Cabin in Margate. He was one of the five founders of the Chelsea Neighborhood Association in Atlantic City in 1975. The others included Jimmy Masland, Annette Malley, the wife of Dr. Stuart Malley, me, and one other. There were five of us. The lessons I learned from that Chelsea Neighborhood Association inspired me to start Liberty and Prosperity years later. *** Everything I did with the Chelsea Neighborhood Association and Liberty and Prosperity was about making America great again. And one of the first things I learned is that to make America great again, we can't depend on the government. We can't depend on politics. We can't depend on one man like President Trump. A whole lot of people need to do a whole lot of things that most Americans used to do, that we are no longer doing today. All those people doing all those things before made America great. And we all have to start doing those things again to make America great again. *** MAKING AMERICA GREAT BEGINS WITH FAMILIES, FAMILY DINNERS, AND HOLIDAYS LIKE EASTER AND PASSOVER. *** I see that very clearly being with my daughter, my son-in-law, and their kids, my grandkids. The most important thing we need in America today is for young people to get married and have children and raise families. And one of the best ways to raise families and to create good and strong Americans is for Mom and Dad and the kids to have dinner together at least four or five nights a week. Those dinners together are more important than almost everything else. They should begin with a blessing over the bread or grace for the meal. There should be no distractions. No cell phones, no TV, no toys at the table. Everybody sitting down and facing each other. Talking to each other. Listening to each other. Exchanging ideas. Asking questions. What did you do today. Here's what I did today. What do you want to do tomorrow. Little everyday conversation. You really appreciate the importance of this when you are part of it. You see how these simple family dinners at the end of the day teach manners, respect, letting somebody else speak first, while you are listening. then you talk when it is your turn. This is not at all easy. It takes discipline. It takes practice. It takes patience. The kids often don't want to do this. They want to run out. They want to play a game or watch a video on a cell phone. They want to do a zillion things. But parents have to set the rules. There will be anger, frustration, arguments, and meltdowns. But after a while, it becomes a very pleasant experience. I would say having dinners with my daughter's family and her children impressed me more than a whole lot of political stuff I've been doing and seeing on TV during the past few months. *** Click Here for Link to Epoch Times article: "How Parents Can Renew Society": Click Here for Link to Epoch Times article: "Why Family Dinners Are Important": *** JOHN DEMASI: You know, you make a good point. How many times and I see it with my niece and my grandson. How many times, you know, you sit at the table, he's on his phone, the TV's on, and the husband's upstairs doing something. And she's calling everybody, come on to dinner. You know, it's it's really it's hard. You're absolutely right. It's hard to do. It's hard to accomplish because there are too many distractions. SETH GROSSMAN: Yes, it is hard to do. But it's important. And you usually need both parents who know how important it is to do it. We Boomers spend so much of our time saying, well, the President ought to do this, or the government ought to do that, or Congress needs to do this. But we can't get Mom, Dad and the kids to sit together at the same table, for one a forty-five-minute period every day for maybe four or five days a week to teach kids what it's like to live in a civilized society. So, I got a lot of insight, and I really have a lot of admiration for my daughter and son-in-law for doing this. It's not easy. They both work. They both have to juggle their schedules to do this. But it's important to them. And I'm glad it is. I want to recognize and commend all the families that do that. Las week,

Highlights of Seth Grossman interview with John DeMasi on WPGTalkRadio.com, 1450AM and 95.5 FM near Atlantic City on March 21, 2026: ATLANTIC CITY HAS BIGGEST ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE EVER. BUT WITHOUT THE PEOPLE WHO STARTED THAT TRADITION: DICK AND CATHY BURKE AND THEIR IRISH PUB. JOHN DEMASI: Before Seth Grossman gets into anything, we have a most important thing to ask him. What really happened to the Irish pub on Saint Patrick's Day? SETH GROSSMAN: Of course, I don't know. I had no idea it was closed until I read it in The Press of Atlantic City. I hate to let you down. But I do not have any inside information on what happened to the Irish Pub, other than I have very fond memories of the place going back more than fifty years. I remember how its owners, Dick and Cathy Burke put together Atlantic City's first St. Patrick's Day Parade back in the nineteen eighties. I remember marching down the Boardwalk with them. This year, Atlantic City had the biggest St. Patrick's Day Parade ever. I was sad and ironic that Dick and Cathy Burke, the people who started it all weren't there. I am here on behalf of LibertyAndProsperity.com, a private association. We are a group of individuals who share common goals and values. We formed a private organization to promote them. We meet for breakfast and talk about the issues that concern us at 09:30 every Saturday morning, at Sal's Coal Fired Pizza in Somers Point. We have a website. We have, special events from time to time. We have free email updates. And, if you'd like to get them, you know, just sign up, through the website or, email us at [email protected]. We are a typical private association of roughly 180 individuals. America was once famous for private, independent associations like outs. To pay for our activities, we pay dues of $30 per year and we received private donations of about $30,000 per year. We use that money to be here on the radio, to have the website and the emails and the special events. So it is discouraging and ironic to find besides raising funds for our group, we are forced to pay taxes to support other private groups that pursue agendas we disagree with. Think of all the time, effort, and talent we spend persuading people to donate to us. Every week, I beg for donations on the air, we beg for money on our website, and we have many fundraising events to pay for what we do. We need donations of roughly $33,000 each year to be on the radio, to have a website, to send email updates and to sponsor special events. And yet the Atlantic County Queer Alliance doesn't have to do any of this. They just fill out forms and a bunch of government agencies that we pay for give them all the money they need. Last Tuesday, on St. Patrick's Day, the CRDA, the New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority voted to give a grant of 96,453.23 to the Atlantic County Queer Alliance. This money will be used to fund the mission of the Atlantic County Queer Alliance? According to its webgsite, that is to advance the acceptance and enrichment of LGBTQIA+ people and supporters of LGBTQIA+ so-called "rights" in South Jersey. And of course, LGBTQIA+ means Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersexual, Asexual and Plus, whatever that is. Now I'm sure the Atlantic County Queer Alliance said, "We are a nice group of people", and we would like to patronize the Atlantic City casino hotels and spend money there. So force the casinos to give $96,000 of the tax on their gross casino win to help our group. But any private group can make that same claim. Our group, Liberty and Prosperity can go up to CRDA and say, if you give us $96,000, we will organize all sorts of events to promote Atlantic City casino hotels and invite people to meet us in Atlantic City. . . THE IRAN WAR: ARE WE DOING MORE THAN KILLING A HANDFUL OF ISLAMIC LEADERS WHO WANT TO BE MARTYRS? We are both part of the "Boomer" Generation. Our dads and their friends fought in World War II and we heard their stories growing up. I went to Central Junior High School in Atlantic City in the early 1960s, and I had a social studies teacher named Mr. Wirtshafter, Stan Wirtshafter. He told us he was in a tank unit in Germany at the end of World War II. He talked about being attacked by young boys in the Hitler Youth. He said these 13 and 14 year old kids would charge their tanks with grenades, bazookas and mines. He said they did not surrender, and that they had to kill every one of them. He said how awful it was to look at the bodies of these 13 and 14 year old, even 12 year old kids. And they had to kill those kids to stop those kids from killing them. We heard stories from veterans who were in Okinawa. They had women and children in caves and foxholes shooting at them. They had boys who could barely fly airplanes crashing them into their ships. Why did they do that? Those German kids believed the m

Brian Fitzherbert, president of Liberty and Prosperity, joins Anne Baker on WOND radio for 'Fitzherbert Friday'. Brian and Anne discuss the state of NJ, new governor Mikey Sherrill, the lack of Republican messaging and backbone, and the population math that doesn't bode well for NJ republicans in the future.

From Weekly Saturday Interview with John DeMasi's "Talk with a Purpose" on WPG Radio, 95.5FM and 1450AM near Atlantic City, New Jersey: Obamacare delays vital tests by months--unless you have special connections. Host John Demasi and Seth Grossman describe how doctor referred them to specialists to test for dangerous symptoms. But specialists could not give either of them appointments to even talk to specialists about getting those tests for months. Each found doctors to take those tests only by using personal friends and connections. This is normal is socialist and Third World countries. It was never normal in America before Obamacare. You Often Need Insider Connections to Get Essential Care: To get the medical treatment you need, you often need advocates with influence and connections. . Impact of Policy: This began in 2014 when "Obamacare" (The wrongly named "Affordable Care Act") took effect. It caused many of our best doctors to retire or join large corporate practices run by clerks and bureaucrats. They big practices depend on the government agencies and big insurance companies that pay them. They no longer depend on their reputations and good will of their patients. These practices often use "diversity, equity, and inclusion" instead of merit when hiring their doctors. A handful of voters approve $36 million of new debt for Egg Harbor Township public schools. Egg Harbor Township School Board members deliberately held special election onf March 10 to guarantee super-low voter turnout: They could have put the question on the ballot for last November's regular election at no cost to local taxpayers. But they chose not to. They deliberately spent probably $100,000 to hold a special election on March 10. (They did not publicly announce the cost.) Many voters knew nothing about it. Many were in Florida. Many had no idea that the polls did not open until noon. They did this for one obvious reason. Roughly 18,000 Egg Harbor Township voters voted in last November's election. The school board members knew that most of them would vote "No." They knew most taxpayers in Egg Harbor Township do not want to borrow $36 million just for repairs and maintenance on existing buildings. And so these School Board members wasted money on a special election to guarantee a super-low turnout. Only 2,428 people voted last Tuesday, March 10. That was less than 10% of the 37,000 registered voters of Egg Harbor Township. 1,470 voted "yes" and 857 voted "no". Only the handful of voters who benefited from the $36 million were notified of this special election. trategic Timing: Seth The school sent emails and notices to all teachers, parents of students and employees and contractors. I bet they also used their "emergency" telephone system to remind to vote. https://youtu.be/a0fwj6fzFtE?si=zSQV-fER9-n3Sb1d Failure to deal with the real issue. Government makes everything way to expensive to build and fix. There are ridiculous union rules, environmental rules, diversity equity and inclusion rules, and all sorts of laws that make doing anything a violation of something. The solution to everything being unaffordable? Force somebody else to pay! Get a "grant" from the state or federal government to pay for a local project. Borrow the money, and get your kids and grandkids to pay! https://youtu.be/3zeRyUceuoY?si=zCv2V3uBSUTKedVB Crazy "fee-shifting" lawsuit laws reward fake "victims" and punish taxpayer. Do you remember the 2020 George Floyd Riots in Atlantic City? That was when more than a hundred rioters broke windows and looted stores on Atlantic Avenue, and in "The Walk" Shopping District. That was when Steve Young and six others deliberately blocked traffic several times None of them cared a bit about the thousands of business owners and workers have to earn a full year of income in a ten-week tourist season. Mayor Marty Small and the Atlantic City Police Department then did an outstanding job. They watched hours of video. They questioned dozens of witnesses. They positively identified 95 rioters who broke windows, stole merchandise and fought with police. They used enormous discipline and patience in not arresting Steve Young and his bunch until they actually blocked traffic on the Expressway ramp. And then Governor Murphy and the then-Atlantic County Prosecutor stabbed our law enforcement in the back. They did not prosecute or punish a single person who was caught red-handed breaking the law, breaking windows, blocking traffic or stealing merchandise. Youhad had even worse riots in Trenton, and nobody was punished for anything there either. And of course, not a single Republican politician in New Jersey said or did anything either. The bottom line, is that all charges were either dropped or not pursued. And now yesterday, it was reported that Steve Young and the other six who were arrested for blockin

Brian's captivating conversation with Anne on Friday regarding American military might, capability, and possible assets being deployed against Iran.

1. Daylight Saving Time (DST): Another bad "progressive" idea. For thousands of years, we used the sun to determine the time. Noon was when the sun was highest. That was when half of daylight had passed, and half was still to come. In 1907, an English builder named William Willet thought too many people were sleeping too late and not fully enjoying the morning sunshine in the summer. He could have tried to persuade people to go to be earlier and get up earlier. But "progressives" don't think that way. He instead lobbied British politicians to make a law forcing everybody to change their cl0cks to Daylight Savings Time every summer. Wartime Emergency: His idea did not win much support. However, in 1916, England imposed Daylight Savings Time as an emergency war measure to use less coal during World War One. "Progressive" Democratic President imposed Daylight Savings Time as an "emergency" war measure in the United States. However, it was very unpopular and ended right after the war. President Franklin Roosevelt brought back Daylight Savings Time in the United States as an emergency war measure in 1942 during World War 2. We have had it ever since. It is now agreed that Daylight Savings Time no longer saves energy and probably uses more energy. That is because the savings of not using as many electric lights in the morning is offset by using more electricity for air-conditioning in the afternoon and evening. Opposed: Farmers always opposed Daylight Savings Time for disrupting the routines of people and farm animals for forcing them to work mornings in the dark. Railroads, bus companies and airlines opposed it for causing chaos with schedules twice a year. Many medical professionals claim that the sleep disruptions of time changes cause health problems to many individuals. Supporters: Daylight Savings Time is supported by owners of golf courses, retail shops, amusement parks and other summer resort businesses. Daylight Savings Time is a typical misuse of government to control people's behavior. 2. Traditional China and Shen Yun Pre-Communist China: Grossman describes China before 1949 as a beautiful and pleasant country that was a close friend of America. After World War 2, our top government officials betrayed our friends in China and helped the Communists take power. We let Communist Russia give Chinese Communists the weapons we had given them to fight Germany. We also let the Communists take all of the weapons they captured from the Japanese. At the same time, we stopped helping our friends in China defend themselves. Later, we found out that this was because many Communists loyal to Russia held high positions in the United States government. These same people also turned much of Vietnam over to the Communists. Shen Yun Recommendation: If you want to know what China was like before Communism, you should watch the Shen Yun performing arts show. It has beautiful music, brilliant dancing and spectacular special effects. Local Event Details: Location: Miller Theater, Philadelphia. Dates: April 15–19, 2026. Cost: Tickets start at approximately $90. 3. Government in America has become expensive, corrupt, and "unaffordable" at every level. It is making everything we need "unaffordable." The purpose of government is to equally protect the rights, property and safety of every citizen. When we limited government to that purpose, we lower taxes, higher income, more freedom and more opportunities. But "Progressives" began to change that during 1930s. They said government was needed to "help" people. But the problems is that government can't spend money to help some people unless it takes money by force from somebody else. Everybody loses when people decide to succeed by playing politics and getting money from the government rather than by working, saving, investing and producing. Back in 1787, Benjamin Franklin warned against creating a government that offered men unlimited power and money: “There are two passions which have a powerful influence on the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice; the love of power, and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but when united in view of the same object, they have in many minds the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor, that shall be at the same time a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it.” During the 1950s, Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Łobaczewski did extensive research on this topic. In 2006, he published Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes. In it, Lobaczewski wrote that a small group of people have psychopathic tendencies. Those tendencies include: 🧩 Interpersonal traits These describe how someone interacts with others. Superficial charm — engaging, charismatic, and persuasive when it serves a purpose. Pathological

"NJ Assemblyman, Paul Kanitra, and Liberty and Prosperity president, Brian Fitzherbert, join Dan Klein and Keith Hartzell on WOND radio for an in-depth discussion on the 'state of New Jersey'. Right now common sense and affordability are facing an uphill climb with democrats in the legislature stacked in opposition to those critical issues, according to Kanitra."

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.
