EventON Spirit Airlines and the Ripple Effect on Travel. Seth Grossman highlights the recent loss of Spirit Airlines at Atlantic City Airport. He recalls how the airport was once a beehive of activity at 7am. However, it was a deserted "bus terminal" when he left for Florida last Tuesday. For instance, a trip to Florida that previously resembled a short bus ride to New York now demands a multi-leg journey lasting seven to eight hours. This itinerary requires taking a bus to Philadelphia International Airport and navigating multiple terminal transfers. Criticism of Government Intervention Grossman blames federal interference—specifically the Biden administration and Elizabeth Warren blocking the JetBlue-Spirit merger—for Spirit’s exit and the resulting lack of consumer choice. Citing historical perspectives from New Jersey's 1676 founding and thinkers like John Locke, he argues that government should remain limited to protecting people and property rather than managing industries or entertainment venues like the Kennedy Center. Political Strategy and "Asymmetrical Warfare" Grossman identifies what he calls left-wing "asymmetrical warfare" tactics in Newark and Minneapolis. He claims protesters deliberately provoke immigration enforcement officers to trigger an overreaction for media coverage. He advises conservatives to counter this by quietly documenting identities to make arrests later, rather than engaging in public confrontations. Liberty and Prosperity Updates Grossman promotes updates from his organization, including: A 7-point plan to rescue Stockton University and lower tuition to $6,000 per year. Criticism of Atlantic City's "free" airshow due to hidden hotel and restaurant surcharges. An upcoming $35 fundraising pancake breakfast on June 13th to support their scholarship program. EDITED TEXT OF SETH GROSSMAN INTERVIEW: JOHN DEMASI: We're going to get Seth Grossman in a little earlier today on the show. First, are you missing Spirit Airlines? SETH GROSSMAN:  Absolutely! In fact, I posted a lot of stuff on Facebook about my adventure. As you know, I left to visit one of my daughters and some grandkids near West Palm Beach, Florida, last Tuesday morning. Normally, the Atlantic City Airport at seven - in the morning was a beehive - of activity. People were catching flights to Tampa, Fort Meyers, Orlando, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale. But at 7AM last Tuesday, I was the only person walking from the parking lot to the terminal.  I was the only person in the terminal! The whole place was deserted! Basically, it was a glorified bus terminal. The only outgoing flights were four buses to - Philadelphia - and one Breeze flight to Charleston, South Carolina. Florida. - So, - I did post that and what used to - be, - you know, going to West Palm Beach and - visiting my, grandkids here used to be like - taking a bus to New York. You know, - you you check-in and, two and a half - hours later, you're you're where you're gonna be - and you have a full day ahead of - you here. It's a full day adventure. - Yeah, you have Breeze, - doesn't start direct flights until - till I believe December. - You have Allegiance has occasional flights on occasional - days. - I ended up taking American Airlines where you - take the bus to Philadelphia, and it becomes - a seven or eight hour, - you know, day. So you just have to, - add a day. And and one of the - interesting things - on Facebook, - I I had an account on Facebook for - years - until I got knocked down for posting pro - Trump views, in 2017. - I used to reach 50 to a 100,000 - people, - a - week, and then they knocked me down to - a thousand, and they called it shadow banning. - And the same thing happened on Twitter. But - what what we remarkable, - when I started posting my adventures with, - Facebook, - sudden, suddenly I had a 138,000 - people - were following my adventures. - So who knows? The the silver lining of - my, - spirit adventures, I could have possibly broken the - algorithm on Facebook - and and restored the the reach I had - before. So, it was just an interesting experience. - So so what happened was you you bus - to from Atlantic City Airport - to Philadelphia International. Is that what happens? - Right. And the bus takes you past airport - security and you go to, - Terminal F. Then you have to take a - bus from Terminal F to Terminal C, then - you have to wait about an hour and - a half, and then you take a flight - to Fort Lauderdale. - And then if you wanna come up to - the West Palm Beach area, they happen to - take me to Fort Lauderdale during rush hour. - So I had to take the bus to - the train and then the train to come - back up to West Palm and then take, - a Lyft or an Uber, yeah, to your - final destination. So it became a a it - was like going to Europe. - I was just gonna say you could have - been in Europe both for all this time. - I I couldn't visit my brother in Cadiz, - Spain for the time I spent traveling. But, - you know, that's that's the so called progress. - And then of course I had to be - political about it and I said gee I'm - so glad - that President Biden and Elizabeth Warren. - Uh-uh had the - the Justice Department - blocked the merger between - uh-uh JetBlue and Spirit - which which would have been, you know, both - companies were struggling, but they both had assets - that the other one needed. But to say, - well, we're gonna protect the the - consumer by letting, Spirit go out of business. - Well, I'm a consumer, and I don't think - the government helped me. So that was a - real lesson in, - you know, when the government you know, we - we talk about, - what capitalism is. And, of course, capitalism is - a fake word invented by communist - to describe when people are free to to - make their own decisions. - And and whether - JetBlue - should have merged with, with Spirit, - that was a decision for the creditors - and for the shareholders - of JetBlue - and for Spirit to decide. The government had - no business injecting itself into that situation, - and and that's what we have to get - back to. You know, letting government do what - it's supposed to do. I agree. No. I - agree. Yeah. - And and Yeah. Now now we have now - we have really nothing because you mentioned Breeze - and Allegiant. I mean, there's, like, two days - a week or through one day a week, - and it's it's it's not good. No. It's - not good. And and it's all because the - government was trying to fix things. - So all we know is when the government - fixed the insurance problem, we can't afford insurance. - When the government fixed the housing problem, we - can't afford housing. When the government fixed the - college problem, we can't afford college. - You know, so when the government always does - stuff that, - it has no business doing. And ironically, - in that book sixteen seventy six project, - when the, Quakers created New Jersey back in - 1676, - one of the things they did, they checked - with these, government philosophers like John Locke - and Algernon Sydney. And what they said is - government should only protect people, protect property, do - very limited things. Because when you wanna have - the government do whatever you wanted to do, - it you know, you could net there's never - enough money. It always does things. And when - you have politicians making these decisions, - instead of the people who are paying for - it and using for it, you get bad - decisions. And I just have to notice at - the top of the hour, - the top of the news was talking about - how congress and president Trump is deciding - how to run the Kennedy Center for the - Performing Arts, - and whether it should be named Trump or - whether it should be named Kennedy. - But the whole idea is you read the - constitution, - why the heck is the federal government, which - is supposed to provide national defense and coin - the money and deal with national problems? - Why are we tying up congress figuring out - how to run an entertainment center? It's ridiculous, - but that has become normal. - Yeah. That's - unfortunately, - it has become normal. You're right. - Anyway, I've, you got me started on Spirit. - I forgot to mention that, yes, I'm here - to to to speak in the per the - organization that's writing the checks - allowing me to have this conversation - is libertyandprosperity.com, - and I urge everybody to go to the - website. A lot of new stuff is posted - there. - We sent out, an email with a lot - of new information. - So the the site is libertyandprosperity.com. - If you have trouble signing up for the - free email updates, - just, email us at info,info,@libertyandprosperity.com. - If you want us to keep writing checks - to the John DiMasi program, we need the - money. - Please hit the donate tab at the top - or send a check to libertyandprosperity.com. - And of course, we always have breakfast discussions - whether I'm there or not. - Sometimes people say they're they're run much better - when I'm not there because people can get - a word in edgewise. - That's from 09:30 to 10:30 at Sal's Coal - Fired Pizza - at Route 9 in Grovewood Avenue in Somers - Point. So, please do that. A lot of - new stuff on that website. - Well, - you know, you you're never at a loss - for words, but you're right. When you're not - there, people do do - speak a little more. - Yeah. - Yeah. And just just a couple of things - to observe. Course, today is May 30, which - we boomers growing up knew this was when - Memorial Day was supposed to happen. It was - also called decoration day because that was a - day, you know, that our parents and grandparents - would deck puts flags and wreaths on the - graves of their friends and family who had - died in America's wars. - And, of course, that was the traditional holiday - that began after the civil war, - when really, - black Americans freed from slavery,...

Seth Grossman, Stockton University’s Decline and Hypocrisy 5.16. 26

Seth Grossman on Stockton University Decline and Hypocrisy. The provided audio recording features guest host Seth Grossman on WPG Talk Radio 95.5 discussing the history and decline of Stockton University. Grossman explains that the university was founded with the mission of providing an affordable, high-quality college education for ordinary middle-class families, a goal it successfully achieved during its first 30 years of operation. However, Grossman argues that the institution took a negative turn starting in 2005 under the leadership of Dr. Herman Saatkamp and later Harvey Kesselman. He accuses these administrations of reshaping the university into a politically biased, "woke" environment that actively censored opposing viewpoints, such as those from Grossman's own organization, Liberty and Prosperity. Furthermore, Grossman criticizes the university’s massive financial mismanagement, claiming it acted as a "cash cow" to buy up failing local real estate assets. The segment concludes with Grossman addressing a recent public letter from former president Harvey Kesselman, pointing out the hypocrisy of Kesselman complaining about the exact political and financial issues he helped create. Timeline of Events 1969: The initial idea to establish Stockton College is conceived. 1971: Stockton College admits its first class of students, operating out of the old Mayflower Hotel on the Atlantic City boardwalk before moving to its main campus in Galloway Township. 1971–2001: For its first three decades, the college is highly successful, offering low tuition ($700–$800 a year for room, board, and tuition) that students can completely cover using their summer job earnings. 2003: Seth Grossman forms the political and educational organization Liberty and Prosperity. 2004–2005: The university introduces the Political Engagement Project (PEP). Grossman attends the early community meetings but finds that the administration refuses to allow any traditional or conservative viewpoints to be included. 2005: Dr. Herman Saatkamp becomes the president of Stockton University, initiating a decade-long shift toward radical curriculum changes and aggressive debt-fueled real estate spending. 2012: Grossman is invited by the student Democratic Party Club to participate in an election panel, but the university administration explicitly blocks him from campus, deploying security to shut down the event rather than allowing him to speak. 2015: President Saatkamp leaves the university and is replaced by Harvey Kesselman, who continues his predecessor's ideological policies and eventually orders the removal of Richard Stockton's statue from the campus library. 2019: Student enrollment at Stockton University begins a steady, year-over-year decline, leaving the school facing a $20 million annual deficit. May 2026 ("Last Monday"): Former president Harvey Kesselman publishes a letter in The Press of Atlantic City urging the school to remove politics from the classroom and fix its massive debt. Grossman reviews the letter on the air, calling Kesselman out for extreme hypocrisy.
