Ken addresses whether NY AG Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey are truly “off the hook” after charges against them were dismissed without prejudice and explains the meaning of this legal term. A new Rutgers University climate study projects that New Jersey could face a 3.8-foot sea level rise, raising flood risk concerns for the state. Ken takes your calls! Ken interviews NJ Republican Congressional candidate Billy Prempeh. Billy breaks down the state’s response to ICE raids. Their conversation covers potential safety concerns for residents and whether a change in the state senate could reverse what Ken and Prempeh call symbolic and misguided municipal policies.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten wo R.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Filling in for Mark. Here's Ken Rosatto. That's nice to
be with you. The day before Thanksgiving, Mark and Joe
and Ice Long Weekend. Former New York City TV news
Sacred Ken Rosado in the seat. I feel very privileged
to be in this seat. I always feel like when
I get up from the seat, I kind of brush
it off from Mark to make sure it's back to
the way it was. For those who may or may
not remember, I'll remind you I was at Channel seven
(00:28):
here in New York doing the morning and noon show
there for about twenty years. Great time there, and then
prior to that, I was a Channel five. A lot
of people don't remember. I did Good Day Wake Up
for about a year and before I went to seven.
But it was also a lot of fun. I still
have friends there and these days I work at a
New Jersey based TV news channel. It's called on New
(00:49):
Jersey and you could stream it live or watch reruns
that we do at ONNJ dot COMNNJ dot com little
shameless plug for my check and it's a good time
there too. I run a food website too for you
foodies called the Food Dude. You can check it out
at the food Dude dot Us. The food Dude dot Us.
(01:11):
A lot to talk about today. I'm sure you've heard
about the US District Judge Cameron McCowan Curry. That's the
radical leftist activist Biden appointee. Does that sound negative on
my part? Who threw out the James Comy and Letitia
James indictments. And of course Komy, he's so smug, he's
so smug. But methinks James Komy is not going to
(01:34):
end up happy at the end because even if he
doesn't get convicted of anything, I think the point of
the Justice Department's actions are to make it so that
James Comy spends so much money defending himself that he
will be bankrupt. And I think that's the point. Does
that sound malicious? Yes? Is it something the Democrats have
a PhD In doing it to Republicans over the years?
(01:57):
App so frickin' loutely, and it's about to and they
get a little taste of their own medicine. Same thing
with little Tissue James. You know she thinks she's off
the hook, you know, Tish. Sorry Tish, you signed allegedly
signed all these documents saying that you would have as
your primary residence your residence in Virginia when you are
the attorney general of the state of New York and
must have there's a residency requirement here. Than who are
(02:19):
you lying to? Maybe you should leave the position of
Attorney general in New York, right because technically you're saying
that Virginia's your primary residence, so you should leave your position.
That's what you're saying. You lied to somebody, Either you
lied on your documents in Virginia or you lied to
the people of New York saying that this was your
primary residence when it wasn't. So one has to give.
(02:42):
You can't have both simultaneously. They're mutually exclusive. And of
course her argument was that the prosecutor her the judge
in this case, who threw out the cases. The argument
was the prosecutor appointed by Trump was no longer legally
in power because it was a temporary, an interim appointment
by the Justice Department, so the cases had to be
(03:04):
thrown out. Well, before you get too excited, the cases
were dismissed in a way called without prejudice. To explain,
that is the Big professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Listen up, Poleticia James took a bit of a victory
lap after this decision, and I think she missed the
two words that followed dismissal, and it was dismissal without prejudice.
So the Trump administration, even if they lose on appeal,
could seek out a new indictment. This is not over
for James, or call me. The judge specifically said, I
(03:42):
am not going to grant your motion to dismiss with prejudice.
I'm going to allow them to cure this problem.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So this means the Justice Department can refile the charges
if they want to ensure Comy and James, if they
want to ensure those charges will be refiled. Keep gloating,
besmirching the Trump administration, you will guarantee or be guaranteed
that you will be back in court very soon. The
Trump administration apparently will first appeal the act of as
(04:12):
judge's decision to the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals
in Richmond, Virginia, which used to be considered kind of
a conservative court, but in recent years because of Biden
packing the courts with left wing extremists on purpose. It's
not so much. It's more to the left. But you know,
the people who are in those districts who would be
(04:33):
on the grand jury, they tend to still be a
little right of center. So we'll see what happens if
it gets to that point. Seven ten wo R the
Voice of New York. It's Ken Rosotto in for Mark
and New Jersey lawmakers also have been busy. They've been
talking about all sorts of stuff. They want to ban
ice agents and other law enforcement who interact with the
(04:55):
public from wearing masks or disguises. There's a bill that
they introduced. It would allow undercover officers those wearing shields
that don't cover their faces or medical masks, but they
cannot wear something that specifically covers their masks. It covers
their faces rather not revealing their identities to people on
the street, and violators would face fines of up to
(05:16):
one thousand dollars and could get up to six months
in jail. But apparently they have not seen something called
the Constitution and the supremacy clause. So allow me to
read what the supremacy clause is. It's Article six, paragraph
two of the US Constitution. It says, quote, a state
or municipality cannot pass a law that interferes with the
(05:39):
execution of federal law or the duties of federal agents.
So maybe the good state senators in New Jersey and
maybe they missed that day in school and our later
in this hour, in our next half hour, we will
speak with Congressional candidate Billy Prempa. He is a Republican
running for Congress in New Jersey's ninth congressional district, and
we'll talk to him about the foolishness of states or
(06:01):
local municipalities trying to pass what are obviously just symbolic
laws that cannot be enforced. And also in New Jersey,
funding for beach replenishment was eliminated in the fiscal twenty
twenty five federal budget, and that could spell trouble for
the New Jersey Sure only four of the twelve required
federal spending bills passed. The bill that would fund the
(06:23):
Army Corps of Engineers is now under continuing resolution thanks
to the Democrats. Without federal dollars, many New Jersey beach
towns are going to have to self fund erosion control
or look for another solution. Well, some local officials are
even looking into new erosion control systems that would be
less expensive, including offshore sand filled barriers. That's what they
(06:45):
do down in Florida, by the way, because if they
had to replenish the sand after every storm, they'd have
been bankrupt decades ago. So look to states like Florida,
Texas or even other countries where they're constantly figuring a
way to preserve their sand. So now question is, with
the Continuing Resolution still providing funding at last year's level,
(07:05):
why does New Jersey need so much more money in
this year's budget? I mean, seriously, how much more expensive
is it to preserve your shore this year versus last
Did the Army Corps engineers like jack up their prices?
You know, we didn't have a big event like Superstorm Sandy.
So why do you think it's going to be so
much more money this year to replenish your shoreline. It's
because Democrats in a state like New Jersey are always
(07:27):
looking for more money, more money, more money, more money.
In their mindset, just can't get enough. It's his money, money, money,
and it's about taking it from you and giving it
to me. If the state of New Jersey wasn't wasting
billions upon billions of dollars to pay for the nine
hundred thousand plus illegal aliens that we currently know of,
let alone the countless more that we and I say
(07:49):
week as I live in New Jersey. Not counting the
countless more that we don't know of, New Jersey would
have tons of extra money without having to raise taxes.
It's liberals in New Jersey who simply do not put
two and two together, nor do they care to do so.
To realize that if you want lower electric rates, less
congestion on highways, teachers who could take better care of
(08:09):
your child because there would be fewer students per classroom,
not to mention lower crime, stop voting Democrat in order
to change the state's sanctuary status so as not to
permit this huge number of illegal aliens. And this is
not an anti immigrant sentiment because my family are immigrants.
This is an anti illegal immigrant sentiment. So stop conflating
(08:33):
all immigrants with illegal immigrants. If the immigrants were here illegally,
they'd be paying taxes, they would have Social Security numbers,
they would be contributing members of society. Okay, we would
have kids that we could account for in schools, and
with the additional local taxes the parents would be paying,
we could build more schools and hire more teachers. But
under the current federal law, we have to educate every
(08:56):
student who comes in, whether legal or not. If they
don't speak English, we have to higher teachers who can
speak multiple languages, and that costs even more. Plus we
have to provide two to three meals a day at
public schools for all students, including the children of the
illegal migrants under the law. Liberals love to use the
word sustainable. Sustainable, Well, look, it is simply not sustainable
(09:19):
in the state of New Jersey when ten percent of
the current population is illegal. Think about that. How staggering
is that a tet one in ten people in the
state of New Jersey that we know of, that's an
absolute fact that we know of is an illegal alien.
That is the approximate number, probably more than that. At
(09:39):
what point do we say enough is enough? You just
can't have an open door and let anybody in and
expect that it's not going to have a negative, deliterious
impact on our community. Do we stop when it's fifty
percent of illegal aliens? It's ridiculous. We literally have handed
over our nation to anybody who wanted it for the
ti aching, and you could thank the Democrats and the
(10:02):
Biden administration for the last four years for doing that
to us. That's exactly the legacy of Joe Biden and
the Democrats. But yet they get rewarded for it because
you have liberal Democrats, especially and I might let me
let me single out some groups tends to be white
liberal women who are like thirty thirty five and under.
(10:23):
They specifically they're like the largest group of hardcore Democrats
who will never vote anything else. I know you're going
to say, I'm a Republican kid, I read it.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But when in terms of groups and painting a broad
brush there, that group seems to be like unapologetically Democrat,
you cannot even bring it up with that group. For
whatever reason. I think a lot of brainwashing in school
and on social media has to do with that. Seven
ten wo r the Voice of New York Ken Rosotto
in for Mark the phone lines are open eight hundred
(10:53):
three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There was a new Rutgers University led climate study trying
to scare the dickens out of people into thinking New
Jersey could see up to a three point eight foot
sea level rise by the year twenty one hundred under
current carbon emission. By the way, whenever I do liberal talk,
I'm going to add a lisp. I have that prerogative.
That number could rise to four point five feet if
(11:17):
ice sheet melt accelerates. I'll tell you what. Let's give
cows broccoli to eat, and their farts will cause the
oceans to rise a bazillion feet. I mean, scientists warned.
Can I say farts?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay? Mark doesn't say farts, does he? Okay, Let's say flatulence.
I'm sorry, so rewind the tape. Is he okay? Good?
So we'll say flatchel okay, replace the word farts with flatulence.
Good science has warned that flood risk is increasing rapidly
across the state, particularly for coastal and tidal river communities.
That's the quote they gave us from Rutgers. Now, it
(11:50):
should be mentioned that many environmental studies make these scary
predictions that can never be proven. Rush Limba used to
talk about this, God rest your soul, Rush, because by
the time this would come true, you and I are
going to be dead twenty one hundred. That's the year
twenty one hundred let's see, I'll be one hundred and
how many years old? Not so why don't we all
(12:12):
get together in seventy five years and see if it
was true. Every prediction these liberals, environmentalists, they've all made.
It has not come to pass, none of it. It
should also be mentioned, by the way, the organizations that
finance studies like this one at Rutgers only finance studies
that set out to prove sea levels arising and the
cause is human negligence. You do not get the financing
(12:35):
unless that is the premise. So in others, if I say,
well I'll take a look at whether humans have an
influence on the environment and sea levels rising, you don't
get the money. So an organization like Rutgers says, okay,
we're going to set out to prove this is so
now they get one hundred million dollar just making up
the number one hundred million. Now they get one hundred million.
(12:56):
They go out and they could finance whatever classes and
they can could run these studies, but you have to
have that as the premis. So you start out on
a liberal premise. So just to qualify that's what you
have to say. It's unbelievable Nowhere in the equation is
whether sea levels are actually rising. Are humans impacting sea levels?
(13:18):
Is carbon emission because these leftist radical scientists environmentalists are
convinced that humans are causing too much carbon to be
emitted and that the excess carbon is raising temperatures and
the temperatures are melting polarized caps, and the polarized caps
melting or causing sea levels to rise. So they start
off with that foregone conclusion. Then they ask scientists and
(13:38):
collegists to reinforce their crackpot theories that can't be proven
by giving them lots of money they get from environmentalists,
wacko donors, and liberal government entities. Now, there are a
lot of scientists who don't believe those theories at all.
They believe climate is changing, but they don't believe humans
have a significant impact. Maybe a tiny one, but not much,
because climate has been changing way for humans came and
(14:01):
way after humans are going to be gone. Climate has
always changed. Just look at history, and there is a
way to do that by taking ice core samples, et cetera.
The Earth has gotten warmer, then it's gotten colder, then
it's gotten warmer, then it's gotten colder Greenland, perfect example.
The name Greenland is called greenland because it used to
be green. Now it's ice covered. So yes, there is
(14:21):
climate change, but humans didn't cause it because it turned
icy way before we had carbon emissions like this. There's
documentation all about it, but we could talk about that
on and on and on. Just don't take what the
liberals are saying seriously and always take these studies with
a grain of salt. Seven ten wr the Voice of
New York Mark taking a nice long weekend today, Ken
(14:42):
Rozotto filling and taken calls at eight hundred and three
to two one zero seven ten. Whatever you want to
talk about, politics, even Thanksgiving recipes, anything, and coming up
later in the show, we'll talk with New Jersey Republican
congressional candidate Billy Prempa about the Garden State's new bill
to make it illegal for ice agents to wear masks.
It's eleven twenty one what you're listening to and we're coming.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Right back now more of the Mark Simone Show on
seven to ten wo r killing in from Mark.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Here again is Ken Rosado. Very good to be with you.
Straight to our busy phones, we go to Stuart in
South Carolina. Happy early Thanksgiving to Stewart.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Thanks Ken, How are you good?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Miss great? Talk to you.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Listen, you were talking about all the illegal aliens in Jersey.
You know, in the South, we work with ICE for
the most part, and we find illegal aliens and we
send them back. But do you remember a while back
those escapees. One of them went to two Jersey troopers
and they sent him away.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yes, that was in Newark. They went into the police
precinct in Newark. Yeah. See, and that's where you got
to scratch your head, Stuart, I mean to step on you.
That's where you got to scratch your head and say
to yourself, there's a difference between we will not help. Okay,
you don't want to actively go out if you were
a sanctuary city, you don't want to actively go out
and arrest illegal aliens. But when they come to you
(15:58):
and say here I am come on really, I.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Mean when I heard that, I how was that? Poplectic?
I said, this is phenomenal, but you know it is unbelievable.
Tish says she has the backs of the police officers
and the NYPD, but then will not work for ICE. So,
in other words, the police officers have got to go
against these illegal, hardened criminals and risk their lives. So
you tell me how the two makes sense. Everybody's expounding
(16:25):
how wonderful tissue is. I don't look at it that way.
If she was wonderful, she would be working with ICE
to get those hardened criminals out of that state, out
of that city and protect the police officers and the civilians.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, the problem, dude, the problem is it's not her,
it's the law. You know, the law in New York
is sanctuary law means that you know, they the city
tells the police what law you know, you're a police officer,
what laws they can and can enforce. And that's part
of the problem. And the prosecutors won't prosecute. I mean,
this is my argument has always been, Look, if they
(17:00):
talk about the fact that, you know, that's a federal crime,
we don't have to go after federal crimes. Well, the
problem is robbing a bank, that's an FBI case. That's
a federal crime. How about counterfeiting, how about kidnapping, how
about illegally transporting across state lines, sex trafficking, and these
are all federal crimes, yet local police always always take part.
(17:21):
You pursuing somebody across the state line. That's when it
becomes a federal crime. Yet local police still do it.
I mean it's pick and choose. You can choose not to.
But how is it if what they're saying is true.
We're you know, we're local police. We can't enforce those crimes.
Then the other thirty five states that do enforce them
and help out ICE, then they're somehow breaking the law.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
That exactly right.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I'll never forget when Deblasio had a gallon bag with
I think the police commissioner and fill marijuana, and so
you can legally carry this around New York City. Now
now apparently in New York City everywhere you go, you're
smelling marijuana being smoked everywhere, but that is still against
federal law. I do not understand how New York City
(18:05):
is allowing a gallon bag of marijuana be carried legally
in that city.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And technically, as you know, ICE agents or whatever, federal
agents can go around and say, all right, I know
that you think it's cool to be smoking pot in public,
but you're under federal arrest. I mean, they could do that, right,
The question is will they and what will the response
from the people be But you know, now we're finding
out more and more. For years we were told, oh, pot,
it's innocuous, it's not addictive. Now we find out, yeah,
it is addictive. The high, the high THHC pot right
(18:32):
now is dangerous. It causes all sorts of problems.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
The THC level in pot used to be three percent
when I was a kid, and I'll be seventy two.
Now it's eighteen to nineteen to twenty percent DHC. This
is engineered marijuana. This is not your grandparents at marijuana anymore.
And people are driving on this all the time and
they're extremely dangerous, And I don't know, I just don't
(18:57):
understand how the public is not outraged by all the
money the illegals are causing them and living like this
with people stoned all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Colorado State Police Steward, Colorado State Police, said that the
head of Colorado State Police, where it was first legalized, said,
if he knew then what he knows now about the
number of highway deaths and the fact that you can't
do public enforcement there is no breathalyzer or roadside test
right that. If he knew that, he would have said,
absolutely not. We cannot make this legal.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
You have to have a blood test. There's no side
of the road other than stigmas and things like that,
and then you can take them in for a blood test.
But as far as as any kind of alcacins or
thing like that, there's nothing except for maybe alcohol, DUIs.
But when you're talking about marijuana, My son was doing
seventy five miles an hour, is a deputy, and he
(19:47):
calls me. He said that I'm not in my county.
He said, I'm smelling marijuana coming from the car in
front of me and we're doing seventy five miles lay
or on the interstate.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
My god, I mean to laugh, but it's like how
much pods you got to be spoken that you could
smell it in the police carby id your good lord,
It's like arresting Cheech and Chong. Stuart, Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.
We got to go to news. But I appreciate you
all the time when you call enjoy all right? My
gosh seven ten wo r the voice of New York
and Stuart is right, it's crazy, you know, Look, marijuana,
(20:18):
you want to do whatever you want to do in
the privacy of your own home. I'm not going to
judge you, but let's just make one thing clear. Let's
you and I and our friends and relative let's all
agree on one thing. Don't get behind the wheel. Even
if you have a couple of drinks. Let your relative
who didn't drink, let them drive. Because if you have
a couple of drinks and the guy behind you and
the guy in front of you has a couple of drinks,
it doesn't make for a good highway situation. And you
(20:40):
don't want the holidays to become tragic, all right, So
let's please promise that it is a Wednesday. Ken Rozattowin
fromar Coming up in our next half hour, New Jersey
Republican congressional candidate Billy Prempa. We'll talk about the Garden
State's new bill to make it illegal for ice agents
to wear masks.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.
Kine from Mark Today, here's Ken Rosanna.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And it's so good to be with you that day
before Thanksgiving and our friend here, Billy Prempa, is an
Air Force veteran who is running for congress in New
Jersey's ninth congressional district, which includes the city of Patterson,
A heavily Hispanic district, which voted for President Trump. The
New Jersey State Senate recently introduced a bill that would
make it illegal illegal for ice agents to wear masks
(21:27):
when doing their work. It would be punishable by a
fine of up to one thousand dollars in time behind bars.
So we say good morning to Billy Prempa. What do
you think about the nuttiness of the New Jersey State Senate.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I mean, I think you nailed it right there. It's
straight up nuttiness. I mean, I think Democratic Party is
trying to find any opportunity to instruct what President Trump
is trying to do in this country. The people want
safer streets, We want to have these people out of
our country. And the truth is that working as an
ice agent, it's a very difficult job. It could be
very dangerous, even puts you at a risk. And I
think that having someone arrested and put in jail and
(22:02):
find it only solely done to try and disincentivize our
ice AGAs from getting their work done. But it only
empowers a criminal at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You know, Billy, I thought the Democrats were the party
that loved masks about it exactly, but they are saying
there would be an exemption to medical masks or to
masks that are see through, like the face shields. So
here's what I would do if I was the head
of ICE in the region, I would say, well, these
are medical masks. They're medically required because every one of
(22:32):
our agents was exposed to a substance at work, so
they have to wear medical masks. I mean, technically there's
vagueness in the way the law is written, but I
mean it's unenforceable nonetheless, because right the Supremacy Clause of
the Constitution says state and local laws cannot be enacted
that would supersede federal laws.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, and and and that's the issue that I think
that are the Democratic Party is doing here is the
rules for the rules, not for me kind of scenario.
When the pandemic was going on, they all weren't favored
for it, but now when people are trying to do
their job, they're completely against it. And the issue is
that you also bring up a very valid point, is
(23:12):
like we don't know who's coming in, what they have,
or what the situation may be. I'll think it's more
different than police officers even covering their face when they're
entering certain circumstances. We don't know what they may have.
I mean. And the frustrating thing is is a lot
of the drugs that are coming into this country, fencinal particularly,
it only takes a very small amount to hurt you
(23:33):
and affect you. And I think that the safety and
the well being of our ice officers is paramount, and
especially when we don't know who we're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Look, the Democrat Party of the United States is responsible
for the greatest trafficking of individual humans in history. Think
about the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of kids
miners who were sex trafficked and permitted to have that
done to them. Literally, with the blood sing of the
(24:00):
Biden administration, we lost track of hundreds of thousands of kids.
They came in, they went to sponsor family, sponsor families
that weren't vetted. In some cases, you had families literally
who received three hundred kids and then there was no
follow up done. You had phone numbers. This was and
this is not my opinion, this isn't rumor. This is
in a congressional hearing. You had an agent of the
(24:22):
federal government under the Biden administration, saying that there was
an eight hundred number given to these miners when they
got to their homes. They're homes of their sponsors in
the United States, and they were told if there's a problem,
if you're stress, if there's an issue, if you're being abused,
call this number. And apparently only one human being was
assigned to answer that call, and some fifty thousand plus
(24:45):
calls came in and went unanswered. That is disgusting. Where
is the prosecution of these individuals.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Well, I think I think they're complicit in the human trafficking.
And it's interesting that you mentioned that because in twenty
twenty one, when I over to the southern border, we
were able to speak with some of the migrants that
were crossing over, and this was something that I've heard
frequently that if you had any issue, you reach out
to the government, but it's like once across the border
and you get into the United States, they don't care anymore.
(25:14):
I think that was more of a virtue signal to
make the nation believe that something was being done on
their behalf and their benefit. But I think once they
got inside, nobody really cared. It just became our problem.
At the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, And I don't know about you. I'm sure you
probably feel similar to me on this one. The conflation
by Democrats of illegal migrants and migrants, there is a difference.
There are so many millions of people in this country
who migrated here legally, and then you have illegal migrants.
There is a difference. It's like you inviting somebody into
(25:48):
your house for dinner or somebody burglarizing your house in
the middle of the night. Yes, they're both at your house.
One was invited in, one was not. What is so
hard to understand? Do they think we're all stupid? And
as as the grandchild of migrants who came legally, I
am so highly offended when I hear that conflation. And
I'm sure many legal migrants.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Are, yeah, including myself. I mean, both of my parents
immigrated here from Ghana legally nineteen eighty four. They also
brought fourteen other relatives into the country, each and every
one of them swearing as an American citizen, taking the
oath and doing it the right way. So when I
see when I see people on the left claiming that
no one is illegal and everyone is legal, and they
(26:29):
all have claims that it's country. It's not just a
flap in the face to mine, but it's a flap
in the face and my parents and all those who
have spent the money, who've invested, who paid their taxes,
who have done it the right way to happily become
an American citizen. And the fact that there's people that
want to hop the border or overstay their visas and
then take advantage of our nation, and we have a
party that's supposed to be representing the American people representing
(26:50):
them on the other side. It's ridiculous and I think
it's a pretty much treacherous. It's treasonous.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Man, you nailed it seven to ten. Wo r the
Voice of New York Ken Risatto win for on the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving with Billy Prepp. But who, by the way,
is an Air Force veteran running for Congress in New
Jersey's ninth congressional district. So look at that. You were
the child of immigrants and you became a member of
our military to be to show your pride in America.
(27:17):
And it's funny. My parents same situation. My grandparents came
from Italy. My father comes from a family of nine boys,
and I believe eight of the nine, including my dad,
we're all in the military. I mean, it's just it's
that pride of being American. But what's said is you
see too many people by the third, fourth, fifth generation,
they sort of get so used to being American that
(27:38):
they lose the sense of how special it is.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Absolutely, and I don't want that to ever be lost.
I think that's something that America is starting to lose
because of that conflation between migrants and immigrants and illegals
and actual citizens. And I think a lot of that
is being done at person, is done on purpose to
try and destroy the fabric of our nation to us
to do what's right. I support Ice, and I believe
(28:03):
that all of our citizens should support Ice. And we
need to put America first above all, not the means
of others.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Now, I'd like to see if this bill makes it
through the Assembly and then gets to either the current governor,
Governor Murphy or Governor Mikey in January. Like to see
if it gets to their desks, if they sign it
into law. Would New Jersey State police arrest US federal
agents and then what would happen because the federal ations
could turn around and arrest in New Jersey state police
(28:28):
for doing that. Right, I mean, that's interfering with the
federal officer.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
It's just about to get in And I was watching
not too long ago that she was floating an idea
to not pay federal taxes to the federal government. So
I can only see the situation getting worse before it
actually gets good. But who knows. I mean, similar to
how President Trump was able to get mob Donnie to
the table, and it seems like they've been able to
make some sense of what can be done for the
betterment of the people of New York. I'm hoping that
(28:52):
Mikey Cheryl is just talking rhetoric right now and she
actually realized the responsibility that she has and tries to
do the right thing. I won't hope breath, but I
really hope.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
So, Hey, Billy, just the funny thing again, Democrat hypocrisy.
Here she her argument. Mikey Cheryl's argument was New Jersey
is paying more money to the federal government than it
gets back. Well, how about the same argument democrats use
with take the rich and make the rich pay more
taxes for what it's redistribution of wealth. Same thing with
the states Sometimes New Jersey will be making more money
(29:22):
and having to pay more money to the federal government.
Sometimes it'll be on the recipient and it all depends.
As New Jersey continues to lose population to Southern states,
there will be a point when Florida will be paying
more income taxes than New Jersey to the federal government,
and New Jersey will be on the recipient end. That's
the way it works. But I love how Democrats love
it when it's taxed the rich, but when it comes
to tax the rich state, No, then then you can't
(29:44):
do that. Now we got to get more money back.
I'd like to see Mikey if she tries to do that,
she'll be hauled off in cuffs. That would be quite
interesting to see. But I'm not saying that one way
or the other. Hey, Billy, tell us once again, tell
us your website how they can find out more about
your campaign and if they want to make a donate.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
They can follow me on social media. Just go to
Billy premp Ed b I L L Y p R
E m p e H or Billy prempeed dot com
to visit my website, my policies. If you like to volunteer, donate,
get on board because we got a big mission to
do it twenty twenty six. Everyone across the state of
New Jersey look forward to supporting you and representing you
in Washington, DC come twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, especially to counter the I see that the person
who may be running in Mikey Cheryl's old congressional seat
is a Bernie Sanders person. So somebody ultra ultra ultra left.
So we need to counter that with a Billy Preppa
in congress Air Force, Yes, Air Force veteran running for
congress New Jersey's ninth congressional district during the upcoming midterm elections.
(30:41):
Happy Thanksgiving, my friend, Billy Preppa, Thank you for coming
on this morning.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Happy Thanksgiving to you too. Take care you bet.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
It's Kevira's otowan from Mark on your Wednesday. When we
come back, we'll take your calls. That number is eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten for w R.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Now more of the marximone Show on seven to ten
wo R filling in for Mark here again is Ken Rosatto.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Good to be with you. In our last segment of
the hour, let's go to John in his historia, Good morning, John,
good morning.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
And almost happy Thanksgiving, although every day should be a
day of thanks Amen, I have been a listener nigh
onto these seventy eight years since my mother's womb. I
just want to correct Americans who misspeak, including yourself. If
we are born here, which I am. I didn't know
any better when I was a kid, so I said
I was a Greek American. Now I say, I'm an American. Heleen,
(31:36):
So you are an American Italian.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I'll give you one more. I'm an American period. That's
fine with me. Not that I don't love my ancestors
coming from Italy, but I am an American and proud
to be. And you go to Italy with him?
Speaker 5 (31:49):
You did say Italian American.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I said that. That's what I said to my grandfather.
But my grandfather pointed in my face and said, you're
an American Now he corrected me very quick. Right, Yeah, absolutely,
and we sho be one hundred percent. You too. I
appreciate your call, John, and John's not wrong, Amen to
that have a good road job here, you too. Yeah,
it's so true. I mean my grandfather was when he
(32:13):
came here. He no longer said Italian American, even though
he had an accent. He said, I'm an American. And
when when we go to Italy Italian, so many people
who call themselves Italian Americans go to Italy, We're just
called American. They look at us and say, stop, you're American.
It is what it is, all right, wore the Voice
of New York. This is Ken Rosotto in for Mark.
I'll be back for Mark on Friday. Mark will be
back in the seat Monday. And I say thank you
(32:35):

a wonderful Thanksgiving from WR
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten wo R.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Filling in for Mark. Here's Ken Rosatto. That's nice to
be with you. The day before Thanksgiving, Mark and Joe
and Ice Long Weekend. Former New York City TV news
Sacred Ken Rosado in the seat. I feel very privileged
to be in this seat. I always feel like when
I get up from the seat, I kind of brush
it off from Mark to make sure it's back to
the way it was. For those who may or may
not remember, I'll remind you I was at Channel seven
(00:28):
here in New York doing the morning and noon show
there for about twenty years. Great time there, and then
prior to that, I was a Channel five. A lot
of people don't remember. I did Good Day Wake Up
for about a year and before I went to seven.
But it was also a lot of fun. I still
have friends there and these days I work at a
New Jersey based TV news channel. It's called on New
(00:49):
Jersey and you could stream it live or watch reruns
that we do at ONNJ dot COMNNJ dot com little
shameless plug for my check and it's a good time
there too. I run a food website too for you
foodies called the Food Dude. You can check it out
at the food Dude dot Us. The food Dude dot Us.
(01:11):
A lot to talk about today. I'm sure you've heard
about the US District Judge Cameron McCowan Curry. That's the
radical leftist activist Biden appointee. Does that sound negative on
my part? Who threw out the James Comy and Letitia
James indictments. And of course Komy, he's so smug, he's
so smug. But methinks James Komy is not going to
(01:34):
end up happy at the end because even if he
doesn't get convicted of anything, I think the point of
the Justice Department's actions are to make it so that
James Comy spends so much money defending himself that he
will be bankrupt. And I think that's the point. Does
that sound malicious? Yes? Is it something the Democrats have
a PhD In doing it to Republicans over the years?
(01:57):
App so frickin' loutely, and it's about to and they
get a little taste of their own medicine. Same thing
with little Tissue James. You know she thinks she's off
the hook, you know, Tish. Sorry Tish, you signed allegedly
signed all these documents saying that you would have as
your primary residence your residence in Virginia when you are
the attorney general of the state of New York and
must have there's a residency requirement here. Than who are
(02:19):
you lying to? Maybe you should leave the position of
Attorney general in New York, right because technically you're saying
that Virginia's your primary residence, so you should leave your position.
That's what you're saying. You lied to somebody, Either you
lied on your documents in Virginia or you lied to
the people of New York saying that this was your
primary residence when it wasn't. So one has to give.
(02:42):
You can't have both simultaneously. They're mutually exclusive. And of
course her argument was that the prosecutor her the judge
in this case, who threw out the cases. The argument
was the prosecutor appointed by Trump was no longer legally
in power because it was a temporary, an interim appointment
by the Justice Department, so the cases had to be
(03:04):
thrown out. Well, before you get too excited, the cases
were dismissed in a way called without prejudice. To explain,
that is the Big professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Listen up, Poleticia James took a bit of a victory
lap after this decision, and I think she missed the
two words that followed dismissal, and it was dismissal without prejudice.
So the Trump administration, even if they lose on appeal,
could seek out a new indictment. This is not over
for James, or call me. The judge specifically said, I
(03:42):
am not going to grant your motion to dismiss with prejudice.
I'm going to allow them to cure this problem.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So this means the Justice Department can refile the charges
if they want to ensure Comy and James, if they
want to ensure those charges will be refiled. Keep gloating,
besmirching the Trump administration, you will guarantee or be guaranteed
that you will be back in court very soon. The
Trump administration apparently will first appeal the act of as
(04:12):
judge's decision to the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals
in Richmond, Virginia, which used to be considered kind of
a conservative court, but in recent years because of Biden
packing the courts with left wing extremists on purpose. It's
not so much. It's more to the left. But you know,
the people who are in those districts who would be
(04:33):
on the grand jury, they tend to still be a
little right of center. So we'll see what happens if
it gets to that point. Seven ten wo R the
Voice of New York. It's Ken Rosotto in for Mark
and New Jersey lawmakers also have been busy. They've been
talking about all sorts of stuff. They want to ban
ice agents and other law enforcement who interact with the
(04:55):
public from wearing masks or disguises. There's a bill that
they introduced. It would allow undercover officers those wearing shields
that don't cover their faces or medical masks, but they
cannot wear something that specifically covers their masks. It covers
their faces rather not revealing their identities to people on
the street, and violators would face fines of up to
(05:16):
one thousand dollars and could get up to six months
in jail. But apparently they have not seen something called
the Constitution and the supremacy clause. So allow me to
read what the supremacy clause is. It's Article six, paragraph
two of the US Constitution. It says, quote, a state
or municipality cannot pass a law that interferes with the
(05:39):
execution of federal law or the duties of federal agents.
So maybe the good state senators in New Jersey and
maybe they missed that day in school and our later
in this hour, in our next half hour, we will
speak with Congressional candidate Billy Prempa. He is a Republican
running for Congress in New Jersey's ninth congressional district, and
we'll talk to him about the foolishness of states or
(06:01):
local municipalities trying to pass what are obviously just symbolic
laws that cannot be enforced. And also in New Jersey,
funding for beach replenishment was eliminated in the fiscal twenty
twenty five federal budget, and that could spell trouble for
the New Jersey Sure only four of the twelve required
federal spending bills passed. The bill that would fund the
(06:23):
Army Corps of Engineers is now under continuing resolution thanks
to the Democrats. Without federal dollars, many New Jersey beach
towns are going to have to self fund erosion control
or look for another solution. Well, some local officials are
even looking into new erosion control systems that would be
less expensive, including offshore sand filled barriers. That's what they
(06:45):
do down in Florida, by the way, because if they
had to replenish the sand after every storm, they'd have
been bankrupt decades ago. So look to states like Florida,
Texas or even other countries where they're constantly figuring a
way to preserve their sand. So now question is, with
the Continuing Resolution still providing funding at last year's level,
(07:05):
why does New Jersey need so much more money in
this year's budget? I mean, seriously, how much more expensive
is it to preserve your shore this year versus last
Did the Army Corps engineers like jack up their prices?
You know, we didn't have a big event like Superstorm Sandy.
So why do you think it's going to be so
much more money this year to replenish your shoreline. It's
because Democrats in a state like New Jersey are always
(07:27):
looking for more money, more money, more money, more money.
In their mindset, just can't get enough. It's his money, money, money,
and it's about taking it from you and giving it
to me. If the state of New Jersey wasn't wasting
billions upon billions of dollars to pay for the nine
hundred thousand plus illegal aliens that we currently know of,
let alone the countless more that we and I say
(07:49):
week as I live in New Jersey. Not counting the
countless more that we don't know of, New Jersey would
have tons of extra money without having to raise taxes.
It's liberals in New Jersey who simply do not put
two and two together, nor do they care to do so.
To realize that if you want lower electric rates, less
congestion on highways, teachers who could take better care of
(08:09):
your child because there would be fewer students per classroom,
not to mention lower crime, stop voting Democrat in order
to change the state's sanctuary status so as not to
permit this huge number of illegal aliens. And this is
not an anti immigrant sentiment because my family are immigrants.
This is an anti illegal immigrant sentiment. So stop conflating
(08:33):
all immigrants with illegal immigrants. If the immigrants were here illegally,
they'd be paying taxes, they would have Social Security numbers,
they would be contributing members of society. Okay, we would
have kids that we could account for in schools, and
with the additional local taxes the parents would be paying,
we could build more schools and hire more teachers. But
under the current federal law, we have to educate every
(08:56):
student who comes in, whether legal or not. If they
don't speak English, we have to higher teachers who can
speak multiple languages, and that costs even more. Plus we
have to provide two to three meals a day at
public schools for all students, including the children of the
illegal migrants under the law. Liberals love to use the
word sustainable. Sustainable, Well, look, it is simply not sustainable
(09:19):
in the state of New Jersey when ten percent of
the current population is illegal. Think about that. How staggering
is that a tet one in ten people in the
state of New Jersey that we know of, that's an
absolute fact that we know of is an illegal alien.
That is the approximate number, probably more than that. At
(09:39):
what point do we say enough is enough? You just
can't have an open door and let anybody in and
expect that it's not going to have a negative, deliterious
impact on our community. Do we stop when it's fifty
percent of illegal aliens? It's ridiculous. We literally have handed
over our nation to anybody who wanted it for the
ti aching, and you could thank the Democrats and the
(10:02):
Biden administration for the last four years for doing that
to us. That's exactly the legacy of Joe Biden and
the Democrats. But yet they get rewarded for it because
you have liberal Democrats, especially and I might let me
let me single out some groups tends to be white
liberal women who are like thirty thirty five and under.
(10:23):
They specifically they're like the largest group of hardcore Democrats
who will never vote anything else. I know you're going
to say, I'm a Republican kid, I read it.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But when in terms of groups and painting a broad
brush there, that group seems to be like unapologetically Democrat,
you cannot even bring it up with that group. For
whatever reason. I think a lot of brainwashing in school
and on social media has to do with that. Seven
ten wo r the Voice of New York Ken Rosotto
in for Mark the phone lines are open eight hundred
(10:53):
three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There was a new Rutgers University led climate study trying
to scare the dickens out of people into thinking New
Jersey could see up to a three point eight foot
sea level rise by the year twenty one hundred under
current carbon emission. By the way, whenever I do liberal talk,
I'm going to add a lisp. I have that prerogative.
That number could rise to four point five feet if
(11:17):
ice sheet melt accelerates. I'll tell you what. Let's give
cows broccoli to eat, and their farts will cause the
oceans to rise a bazillion feet. I mean, scientists warned.
Can I say farts?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Okay? Mark doesn't say farts, does he? Okay, Let's say flatulence.
I'm sorry, so rewind the tape. Is he okay? Good?
So we'll say flatchel okay, replace the word farts with flatulence.
Good science has warned that flood risk is increasing rapidly
across the state, particularly for coastal and tidal river communities.
That's the quote they gave us from Rutgers. Now, it
(11:50):
should be mentioned that many environmental studies make these scary
predictions that can never be proven. Rush Limba used to
talk about this, God rest your soul, Rush, because by
the time this would come true, you and I are
going to be dead twenty one hundred. That's the year
twenty one hundred let's see, I'll be one hundred and
how many years old? Not so why don't we all
(12:12):
get together in seventy five years and see if it
was true. Every prediction these liberals, environmentalists, they've all made.
It has not come to pass, none of it. It
should also be mentioned, by the way, the organizations that
finance studies like this one at Rutgers only finance studies
that set out to prove sea levels arising and the
cause is human negligence. You do not get the financing
(12:35):
unless that is the premise. So in others, if I say,
well I'll take a look at whether humans have an
influence on the environment and sea levels rising, you don't
get the money. So an organization like Rutgers says, okay,
we're going to set out to prove this is so
now they get one hundred million dollar just making up
the number one hundred million. Now they get one hundred million.
(12:56):
They go out and they could finance whatever classes and
they can could run these studies, but you have to
have that as the premis. So you start out on
a liberal premise. So just to qualify that's what you
have to say. It's unbelievable Nowhere in the equation is
whether sea levels are actually rising. Are humans impacting sea levels?
(13:18):
Is carbon emission because these leftist radical scientists environmentalists are
convinced that humans are causing too much carbon to be
emitted and that the excess carbon is raising temperatures and
the temperatures are melting polarized caps, and the polarized caps
melting or causing sea levels to rise. So they start
off with that foregone conclusion. Then they ask scientists and
(13:38):
collegists to reinforce their crackpot theories that can't be proven
by giving them lots of money they get from environmentalists,
wacko donors, and liberal government entities. Now, there are a
lot of scientists who don't believe those theories at all.
They believe climate is changing, but they don't believe humans
have a significant impact. Maybe a tiny one, but not much,
because climate has been changing way for humans came and
(14:01):
way after humans are going to be gone. Climate has
always changed. Just look at history, and there is a
way to do that by taking ice core samples, et cetera.
The Earth has gotten warmer, then it's gotten colder, then
it's gotten warmer, then it's gotten colder Greenland, perfect example.
The name Greenland is called greenland because it used to
be green. Now it's ice covered. So yes, there is
(14:21):
climate change, but humans didn't cause it because it turned
icy way before we had carbon emissions like this. There's
documentation all about it, but we could talk about that
on and on and on. Just don't take what the
liberals are saying seriously and always take these studies with
a grain of salt. Seven ten wr the Voice of
New York Mark taking a nice long weekend today, Ken
(14:42):
Rozotto filling and taken calls at eight hundred and three
to two one zero seven ten. Whatever you want to
talk about, politics, even Thanksgiving recipes, anything, and coming up
later in the show, we'll talk with New Jersey Republican
congressional candidate Billy Prempa about the Garden State's new bill
to make it illegal for ice agents to wear masks.
It's eleven twenty one what you're listening to and we're coming.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Right back now more of the Mark Simone Show on
seven to ten wo r killing in from Mark.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Here again is Ken Rosado. Very good to be with you.
Straight to our busy phones, we go to Stuart in
South Carolina. Happy early Thanksgiving to Stewart.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Thanks Ken, How are you good?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Miss great? Talk to you.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Listen, you were talking about all the illegal aliens in Jersey.
You know, in the South, we work with ICE for
the most part, and we find illegal aliens and we
send them back. But do you remember a while back
those escapees. One of them went to two Jersey troopers
and they sent him away.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yes, that was in Newark. They went into the police
precinct in Newark. Yeah. See, and that's where you got
to scratch your head, Stuart, I mean to step on you.
That's where you got to scratch your head and say
to yourself, there's a difference between we will not help. Okay,
you don't want to actively go out if you were
a sanctuary city, you don't want to actively go out
and arrest illegal aliens. But when they come to you
(15:58):
and say here I am come on really, I.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Mean when I heard that, I how was that? Poplectic?
I said, this is phenomenal, but you know it is unbelievable.
Tish says she has the backs of the police officers
and the NYPD, but then will not work for ICE. So,
in other words, the police officers have got to go
against these illegal, hardened criminals and risk their lives. So
you tell me how the two makes sense. Everybody's expounding
(16:25):
how wonderful tissue is. I don't look at it that way.
If she was wonderful, she would be working with ICE
to get those hardened criminals out of that state, out
of that city and protect the police officers and the civilians.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah, the problem, dude, the problem is it's not her,
it's the law. You know, the law in New York
is sanctuary law means that you know, they the city
tells the police what law you know, you're a police officer,
what laws they can and can enforce. And that's part
of the problem. And the prosecutors won't prosecute. I mean,
this is my argument has always been, Look, if they
(17:00):
talk about the fact that, you know, that's a federal crime,
we don't have to go after federal crimes. Well, the
problem is robbing a bank, that's an FBI case. That's
a federal crime. How about counterfeiting, how about kidnapping, how
about illegally transporting across state lines, sex trafficking, and these
are all federal crimes, yet local police always always take part.
(17:21):
You pursuing somebody across the state line. That's when it
becomes a federal crime. Yet local police still do it.
I mean it's pick and choose. You can choose not to.
But how is it if what they're saying is true.
We're you know, we're local police. We can't enforce those crimes.
Then the other thirty five states that do enforce them
and help out ICE, then they're somehow breaking the law.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
That exactly right.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I'll never forget when Deblasio had a gallon bag with
I think the police commissioner and fill marijuana, and so
you can legally carry this around New York City. Now
now apparently in New York City everywhere you go, you're
smelling marijuana being smoked everywhere, but that is still against
federal law. I do not understand how New York City
(18:05):
is allowing a gallon bag of marijuana be carried legally
in that city.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And technically, as you know, ICE agents or whatever, federal
agents can go around and say, all right, I know
that you think it's cool to be smoking pot in public,
but you're under federal arrest. I mean, they could do that, right,
The question is will they and what will the response
from the people be But you know, now we're finding
out more and more. For years we were told, oh, pot,
it's innocuous, it's not addictive. Now we find out, yeah,
it is addictive. The high, the high THHC pot right
(18:32):
now is dangerous. It causes all sorts of problems.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
The THC level in pot used to be three percent
when I was a kid, and I'll be seventy two.
Now it's eighteen to nineteen to twenty percent DHC. This
is engineered marijuana. This is not your grandparents at marijuana anymore.
And people are driving on this all the time and
they're extremely dangerous, And I don't know, I just don't
(18:57):
understand how the public is not outraged by all the
money the illegals are causing them and living like this
with people stoned all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Colorado State Police Steward, Colorado State Police, said that the
head of Colorado State Police, where it was first legalized, said,
if he knew then what he knows now about the
number of highway deaths and the fact that you can't
do public enforcement there is no breathalyzer or roadside test
right that. If he knew that, he would have said,
absolutely not. We cannot make this legal.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
You have to have a blood test. There's no side
of the road other than stigmas and things like that,
and then you can take them in for a blood test.
But as far as as any kind of alcacins or
thing like that, there's nothing except for maybe alcohol, DUIs.
But when you're talking about marijuana, My son was doing
seventy five miles an hour, is a deputy, and he
(19:47):
calls me. He said that I'm not in my county.
He said, I'm smelling marijuana coming from the car in
front of me and we're doing seventy five miles lay
or on the interstate.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
My god, I mean to laugh, but it's like how
much pods you got to be spoken that you could
smell it in the police carby id your good lord,
It's like arresting Cheech and Chong. Stuart, Happy Thanksgiving, my friend.
We got to go to news. But I appreciate you
all the time when you call enjoy all right? My
gosh seven ten wo r the voice of New York
and Stuart is right, it's crazy, you know, Look, marijuana,
(20:18):
you want to do whatever you want to do in
the privacy of your own home. I'm not going to
judge you, but let's just make one thing clear. Let's
you and I and our friends and relative let's all
agree on one thing. Don't get behind the wheel. Even
if you have a couple of drinks. Let your relative
who didn't drink, let them drive. Because if you have
a couple of drinks and the guy behind you and
the guy in front of you has a couple of drinks,
it doesn't make for a good highway situation. And you
(20:40):
don't want the holidays to become tragic, all right, So
let's please promise that it is a Wednesday. Ken Rozattowin
fromar Coming up in our next half hour, New Jersey
Republican congressional candidate Billy Prempa. We'll talk about the Garden
State's new bill to make it illegal for ice agents
to wear masks.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.
Kine from Mark Today, here's Ken Rosanna.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And it's so good to be with you that day
before Thanksgiving and our friend here, Billy Prempa, is an
Air Force veteran who is running for congress in New
Jersey's ninth congressional district, which includes the city of Patterson,
A heavily Hispanic district, which voted for President Trump. The
New Jersey State Senate recently introduced a bill that would
make it illegal illegal for ice agents to wear masks
(21:27):
when doing their work. It would be punishable by a
fine of up to one thousand dollars in time behind bars.
So we say good morning to Billy Prempa. What do
you think about the nuttiness of the New Jersey State Senate.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I mean, I think you nailed it right there. It's
straight up nuttiness. I mean, I think Democratic Party is
trying to find any opportunity to instruct what President Trump
is trying to do in this country. The people want
safer streets, We want to have these people out of
our country. And the truth is that working as an
ice agent, it's a very difficult job. It could be
very dangerous, even puts you at a risk. And I
think that having someone arrested and put in jail and
(22:02):
find it only solely done to try and disincentivize our
ice AGAs from getting their work done. But it only
empowers a criminal at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
You know, Billy, I thought the Democrats were the party
that loved masks about it exactly, but they are saying
there would be an exemption to medical masks or to
masks that are see through, like the face shields. So
here's what I would do if I was the head
of ICE in the region, I would say, well, these
are medical masks. They're medically required because every one of
(22:32):
our agents was exposed to a substance at work, so
they have to wear medical masks. I mean, technically there's
vagueness in the way the law is written, but I
mean it's unenforceable nonetheless, because right the Supremacy Clause of
the Constitution says state and local laws cannot be enacted
that would supersede federal laws.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah, and and and that's the issue that I think
that are the Democratic Party is doing here is the
rules for the rules, not for me kind of scenario.
When the pandemic was going on, they all weren't favored
for it, but now when people are trying to do
their job, they're completely against it. And the issue is
that you also bring up a very valid point, is
(23:12):
like we don't know who's coming in, what they have,
or what the situation may be. I'll think it's more
different than police officers even covering their face when they're
entering certain circumstances. We don't know what they may have.
I mean. And the frustrating thing is is a lot
of the drugs that are coming into this country, fencinal particularly,
it only takes a very small amount to hurt you
(23:33):
and affect you. And I think that the safety and
the well being of our ice officers is paramount, and
especially when we don't know who we're dealing with.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Look, the Democrat Party of the United States is responsible
for the greatest trafficking of individual humans in history. Think
about the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of kids
miners who were sex trafficked and permitted to have that
done to them. Literally, with the blood sing of the
(24:00):
Biden administration, we lost track of hundreds of thousands of kids.
They came in, they went to sponsor family, sponsor families
that weren't vetted. In some cases, you had families literally
who received three hundred kids and then there was no
follow up done. You had phone numbers. This was and
this is not my opinion, this isn't rumor. This is
in a congressional hearing. You had an agent of the
(24:22):
federal government under the Biden administration, saying that there was
an eight hundred number given to these miners when they
got to their homes. They're homes of their sponsors in
the United States, and they were told if there's a problem,
if you're stress, if there's an issue, if you're being abused,
call this number. And apparently only one human being was
assigned to answer that call, and some fifty thousand plus
(24:45):
calls came in and went unanswered. That is disgusting. Where
is the prosecution of these individuals.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Well, I think I think they're complicit in the human trafficking.
And it's interesting that you mentioned that because in twenty
twenty one, when I over to the southern border, we
were able to speak with some of the migrants that
were crossing over, and this was something that I've heard
frequently that if you had any issue, you reach out
to the government, but it's like once across the border
and you get into the United States, they don't care anymore.
(25:14):
I think that was more of a virtue signal to
make the nation believe that something was being done on
their behalf and their benefit. But I think once they
got inside, nobody really cared. It just became our problem.
At the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, And I don't know about you. I'm sure you
probably feel similar to me on this one. The conflation
by Democrats of illegal migrants and migrants, there is a difference.
There are so many millions of people in this country
who migrated here legally, and then you have illegal migrants.
There is a difference. It's like you inviting somebody into
(25:48):
your house for dinner or somebody burglarizing your house in
the middle of the night. Yes, they're both at your house.
One was invited in, one was not. What is so
hard to understand? Do they think we're all stupid? And
as as the grandchild of migrants who came legally, I
am so highly offended when I hear that conflation. And
I'm sure many legal migrants.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Are, yeah, including myself. I mean, both of my parents
immigrated here from Ghana legally nineteen eighty four. They also
brought fourteen other relatives into the country, each and every
one of them swearing as an American citizen, taking the
oath and doing it the right way. So when I
see when I see people on the left claiming that
no one is illegal and everyone is legal, and they
(26:29):
all have claims that it's country. It's not just a
flap in the face to mine, but it's a flap
in the face and my parents and all those who
have spent the money, who've invested, who paid their taxes,
who have done it the right way to happily become
an American citizen. And the fact that there's people that
want to hop the border or overstay their visas and
then take advantage of our nation, and we have a
party that's supposed to be representing the American people representing
(26:50):
them on the other side. It's ridiculous and I think
it's a pretty much treacherous. It's treasonous.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Man, you nailed it seven to ten. Wo r the
Voice of New York Ken Risatto win for on the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving with Billy Prepp. But who, by the way,
is an Air Force veteran running for Congress in New
Jersey's ninth congressional district. So look at that. You were
the child of immigrants and you became a member of
our military to be to show your pride in America.
(27:17):
And it's funny. My parents same situation. My grandparents came
from Italy. My father comes from a family of nine boys,
and I believe eight of the nine, including my dad,
we're all in the military. I mean, it's just it's
that pride of being American. But what's said is you
see too many people by the third, fourth, fifth generation,
they sort of get so used to being American that
(27:38):
they lose the sense of how special it is.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Absolutely, and I don't want that to ever be lost.
I think that's something that America is starting to lose
because of that conflation between migrants and immigrants and illegals
and actual citizens. And I think a lot of that
is being done at person, is done on purpose to
try and destroy the fabric of our nation to us
to do what's right. I support Ice, and I believe
(28:03):
that all of our citizens should support Ice. And we
need to put America first above all, not the means
of others.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Now, I'd like to see if this bill makes it
through the Assembly and then gets to either the current governor,
Governor Murphy or Governor Mikey in January. Like to see
if it gets to their desks, if they sign it
into law. Would New Jersey State police arrest US federal
agents and then what would happen because the federal ations
could turn around and arrest in New Jersey state police
(28:28):
for doing that. Right, I mean, that's interfering with the
federal officer.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
It's just about to get in And I was watching
not too long ago that she was floating an idea
to not pay federal taxes to the federal government. So
I can only see the situation getting worse before it
actually gets good. But who knows. I mean, similar to
how President Trump was able to get mob Donnie to
the table, and it seems like they've been able to
make some sense of what can be done for the
betterment of the people of New York. I'm hoping that
(28:52):
Mikey Cheryl is just talking rhetoric right now and she
actually realized the responsibility that she has and tries to
do the right thing. I won't hope breath, but I
really hope.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
So, Hey, Billy, just the funny thing again, Democrat hypocrisy.
Here she her argument. Mikey Cheryl's argument was New Jersey
is paying more money to the federal government than it
gets back. Well, how about the same argument democrats use
with take the rich and make the rich pay more
taxes for what it's redistribution of wealth. Same thing with
the states Sometimes New Jersey will be making more money
(29:22):
and having to pay more money to the federal government.
Sometimes it'll be on the recipient and it all depends.
As New Jersey continues to lose population to Southern states,
there will be a point when Florida will be paying
more income taxes than New Jersey to the federal government,
and New Jersey will be on the recipient end. That's
the way it works. But I love how Democrats love
it when it's taxed the rich, but when it comes
to tax the rich state, No, then then you can't
(29:44):
do that. Now we got to get more money back.
I'd like to see Mikey if she tries to do that,
she'll be hauled off in cuffs. That would be quite
interesting to see. But I'm not saying that one way
or the other. Hey, Billy, tell us once again, tell
us your website how they can find out more about
your campaign and if they want to make a donate.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
They can follow me on social media. Just go to
Billy premp Ed b I L L Y p R
E m p e H or Billy prempeed dot com
to visit my website, my policies. If you like to volunteer, donate,
get on board because we got a big mission to
do it twenty twenty six. Everyone across the state of
New Jersey look forward to supporting you and representing you
in Washington, DC come twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, especially to counter the I see that the person
who may be running in Mikey Cheryl's old congressional seat
is a Bernie Sanders person. So somebody ultra ultra ultra left.
So we need to counter that with a Billy Preppa
in congress Air Force, Yes, Air Force veteran running for
congress New Jersey's ninth congressional district during the upcoming midterm elections.
(30:41):
Happy Thanksgiving, my friend, Billy Preppa, Thank you for coming

day of thanks Amen, I have been a listener nigh
onto these seventy eight years since my mother's womb. I
just want to correct Americans who misspeak, including yourself. If
we are born here, which I am. I didn't know
any better when I was a kid, so I said
I was a Greek American. Now I say, I'm an American. Heleen,
(31:36):
So you are an American Italian.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I'll give you one more. I'm an American period. That's
fine with me. Not that I don't love my ancestors
coming from Italy, but I am an American and proud
to be. And you go to Italy with him?
Speaker 5 (31:49):
You did say Italian American.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I said that. That's what I said to my grandfather.
But my grandfather pointed in my face and said, you're
an American Now he corrected me very quick. Right, Yeah, absolutely,
and we sho be one hundred percent. You too. I
appreciate your call, John, and John's not wrong, Amen to
that have a good road job here, you too. Yeah,
it's so true. I mean my grandfather was when he
(32:13):
came here. He no longer said Italian American, even though
he had an accent. He said, I'm an American. And
when when we go to Italy Italian, so many people
who call themselves Italian Americans go to Italy, We're just
called American. They look at us and say, stop, you're American.
