  • Larry interviews Matt Rooney(founder of savejersey.com) about the state of New Jersey's Gubernatorial Race and thoughts on NYC Mayoral Race

    Larry interviews Matt Rooney(founder of savejersey.com) about the state of New Jersey's Gubernatorial Race and thoughts on NYC Mayoral Race
    2025/11/02
    Then a 23-year old law student looking to make a difference in his home state, Matt Rooney launched The Save Jersey Blog in August 2008 without any fanfare, a $0 budget and a homemade Facebook group page. He began to write about both trending and under-the-radar topics in New Jersey politics. Matt recognized a critical need for an independent, pro-taxpayer voice in the New Jersey media and sought to meet it. Over the next few years, Mr. Rooney’s one-man blogging operation quickly blossomed into the primary online gathering place for New Jersey’s long-beleaguered conservative movement with tens of thousands of weekly visitors (and some very vocal detractors, too) and well over a million unique visitors annually. Save Jersey has been cited or credited hundreds of times over the years by news outlets from local and regional publications.

  • Larry speaks to Curtis Sliwa - Republican Candidate for Mayor of New York City about the debates, the polling, and his position on winning

    Larry speaks to Curtis Sliwa - Republican Candidate for Mayor of New York City about the debates, the polling, and his position on winning
    2025/10/26
    Sliwa describes himself as a Republican candidate ''running for mayor of New York City to finally end the disastrous reign of de Blasio-Cuomo''. In the late 1970s, he founded the Guardian Angels, a nonprofit volunteer organization that began its anti-crime activities by patrolling the subways. Today, the group has chapters in 13 countries and over 100 cities, according to its website. Safety and refunding the police are central to the campaign of Sliwa, a radio host who still wears the Angels’ trademark red beret. He proposes adding 4,500 uniformed and 500 undercover officers to patrol the subways. He also calls for restoring "all budget cuts" to the NYPD and giving the department more money to combat gun violence. Sliwa is part of the Republican wing that does not support former President Donald Trump. In the first debate of the GOP candidates, he said he had never voted for Trump. The 67-year-old current Manhattan resident got involved in community work at an early age. At 14, he became known as a "neighborhood garbage collector" when he opened a recycling center in Brooklyn.
