11 28 25 Brian Fitzherbert WOND Radio. Anne Baker show. Summary of the conversation between the host (Anne), Rich B and Brian. Thanksgiving and Football Rich B Check-in: Rich B joined briefly to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and mentioned he was heading to the Eagles game. He hoped for a better outcome than the Dallas Cowboys game. Pie Friday: Anne mentioned a "Pie Friday" concept she saw on Sean Spiller's Facebook page, suggesting people eat leftover pies the morning after Thanksgiving to get rid of them. Immigration and National Policy Trump’s Truth Social Post: Brian discussed a recent post by Donald Trump regarding a pause on immigration from third-world countries until the current situation is addressed. Brian argued that halting illegal immigration would solve 80% of American problems. Economic Impact: Brian linked illegal immigration to rising costs in housing, healthcare, and car insurance, noting that demand from people who "do not belong here" drives up prices. National Guard Tragedy: Brian referenced an incident involving an individual who overstayed a visa and was involved in the murder of two National Guardsmen. Assimilation vs. Presence: Both Anne and Brian agreed that while immigration has a place, the current lack of assimilation and the strain on resources is unsustainable. Brian stated that the US is a nation of settlers, not just a nation of immigrants. The Dignity Act: Anne criticized the "Dignity Act," arguing it allows illegal immigrants to stay by paying a fine and taxes but grants them no path to citizenship, essentially creating a permanent "working class" that still burdens the taxpayer. New Jersey State Politics Mikie Sherrill and Jennifer Granholm: Anne expressed concern over reports that incoming NJ Governor candidate Mikie Sherrill is bringing in Jennifer Granholm. Anne views this as a continuation of "Green New Deal" policies, specifically opposing wind turbines along the coast. State Control vs. Local Municipalities: Brian predicted that Sherrill, if elected, would follow a "soft power" strategy similar to Phil Murphy. He suggested she would withhold state funding to force municipalities to comply with state mandates regarding housing or energy projects. Economic Outlook: Brian forecasted that these policies would lead to higher energy prices and a continuation of "socialist" price controls. Political Integrity and Leadership Jeff Van Drew & Frank LoBiondo: Anne praised Congressman Jeff Van Drew and former Congressman Frank LoBiondo for their integrity. She contrasted them with other politicians she views as "grifters". District vs. DC Congressmen: Brian distinguished between "District Congressmen" (like Van Drew and LoBiondo), who focus on their constituents and making deals to help their specific area, versus "DC Congressmen," who focus on media appearances and climbing the political ladder in Washington. The Hatch Act: Anne concluded the segment by stating she wants to discuss the "Hatch Act" in a future conversation, implying that many local politicians might be in violation of it and should face legal consequences.
