Property taxes and property taxes need to be lowered.

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday morning. What’s going on in New Jersey? What is today is Mario Cranjakt And he is the former mayor of Englewood Cliffs and he’s gonna run for governor. And we have a mutual friend. Of mutual friend is Luke Gingrich, the former Speaker in the House. Well, we have a lot of other mutual friends. Mario, why do you want

0:24 to run for governor?

0:26 Speaker 2 Good morning, John, Thank you for having me on your show. It’s a great show, and I love what the common sense approach that you always take. I want to run for governor because I also want to have a common sense approach to state government like I did in Englewood Cliffs, where I cut taxes and kept them disdained every year

0:41 without cutting services. I promised my constituent so I would keep high density housing out of Englewood Cliff as long as I was mayor. And I did that, much to the consternation of many of our judges in New Jersey.

0:53 Think that they are now mayors and property developers and planners. And I intend to do that for the state of New Jersey. There will be an executive order stopping nonsensical high density housing heading taxes and making the state normal again.

1:09 I’ve kept CRT and DEII of our school system. Kids and an angloicd Cliffs came to school to learn and not to be indoctrinated. But we educate, we don’t indoctrinate in Englewood Cliffs. And a lot of people were angry with me, John when I did that, including the Star Ledger, and I called me the Trumpet Mayor of Englewood Cliffs.

1:29 And I always been a Trump supporter, and I was glad I did so. And as you see, John, and I know you agree, President Trump’s been doing a lot of good things and actually doing what he promised he would do.

1:44 Speaker 1 Now, I tell us that how many people are running in the Republican primary, and when is the primary? And how many people are running in a Democratic primary?

1:55 Speaker 2 So there’s I say, four serious contenders including me. The primary is on June tenth of this year. At the end of January, before I declare that I was entering the race, forty seven percent of primary voters were still undecided.

2:11 After years of campaigning by some of the others and millions of dollars being spent, they still haven’t convinced anybody and the reason they haven’t convinced anybody is because they never did what I actually did and what I promised to do and I will do.

2:27 Speaker 1 Understood, are you spending some of your own money besides raising money?

2:33 Speaker 2 I am a bit and we are gaining momentum. We are a movement, just like we were in Englewood Cliffs where I was the first Republican mayor in forty two years. We became a movement, not a moment. We view all the other candidates as moments in time. We are a movement because we are representing the people who are the

2:53 silence majority, as they were for many years in Inglewood Cliffs, where we had one party, one family rule. In New Jersey is like that. Also, I self imposed term limits on myself, which no one ever does in New Jersey.

3:06 The only office that’s term limited in New Jersey is that of the governor’s office. We need term limits because the longer these people sit in the legislature, the more corruption that happens.

3:19 Speaker 1 I understand that.

3:20 Speaker 3 And Mario, if our listeners are asking, tell me the three things you want to accomplish if you became governor.

3:32 Speaker 2 So we’re definely going to cut taxes because I have a history of doing that without cutting services. We’re going to stop all identity housing units in areas that don’t make sense like they’re doing, which becomes a unfunded tax on a tax mandate on the residents who are they’re already.

3:50 The developers come in, they get to build high density units. Eighty percent of them will be market twenty percent are affordable. They make a large profit on the market based units. They then take that profit and they contributed to the Democrats and some Rhinos who are running for office in the legislature, and those people get re elected or elected

4:11 and they appoint the judges who make all these bad decisions on behalf of the people. We will stop all that, and we will also protect our school children as I did an Englewood cliffs. That’s the third thing. We will keep CRT and any any form of it, anything they want to call it. You may notice in a new

4:30 Jersey law that created the CRT learning in schools, they never actually call it.

4:34 Speaker 1 Tell all listeners what CRT is.

4:38 Speaker 4 Don’t assume they know doors critical race theory, which is a Marxist doctrine of you know, people being oppressed by their by their circumstances in New Jersey and Inglewood Cliffs.

4:52 Speaker 2 Everybody is treated equally, should be treated equally. When I’m governor, everybody in New Jersey would be treated equally and every child will have an opportun You need to learn. You know. And also, just going back to the high density housing, all these advocates for affordable housing never actually talk about the people who need housing. There’s a thousand people in

5:12 New Jersey who are unhoused, who are homeless. But that’s not what affordable housing is all about. None of the judges, none of the legislatures, certainly this governor, they don’t care about the people who actually need help. We’re happy to help those people, but we’re not happy when it comes attacks on people who are already there.

5:29 Speaker 4 We have to stop that.

5:31 Speaker 1 Mario Cranjak, thank you for coming on this Sunday morning. I’m sure we’ll have you on again.

5:35 Speaker 2 When is the primary June tenth this year?

5:40 Speaker 1 Well, thank you so much and we’ll catch up with you again. Wilson.

5:43 Speaker 2 I have a great morning, John, take care, Adam, Margo
