Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.
Wr Kin from Mark Today, here's Ken Rosanna 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
(00:24):
State Senate recently introduced a bill that would make it
illegal illegal for ice agents to wear masks 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 2 (00:44):
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 obstruct 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's having someone arrested and put in jail and
(01:06):
find it only solely done to try and disincentivize our
ice atas from getting their work done. But it only
empowers a criminal at the end of the day.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
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
(01:36):
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 2 (01:58):
Yeah, and and and that's the issue that 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,
(02:18):
is 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, pensanl particularly,
it only takes a very small amount to hurt you
(02:39):
and affect you. And I think that the safety and
the well being of our ice officers is paramount, especially
when we don't know who we're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
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 blessing of the Biden administration,
(03:07):
we lost track of hundreds of thousands of kids. They
came in, they went to sponsor family sponsor families that
weren't veted. In some cases, you had families literally who
received three hundred kids and then there was no follow
up done. You had phone numbers. And this is not
my opinion, this isn't rumor. This is in a congressional hearing.
You had an agent of the federal government under the
(03:29):
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 calls came in
(03:51):
and went unanswered. That is disgusting. Where is the prosecution
of these individuals.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Well, I think they're I think they're complicit into human trafficking.
And it's interesting that you mentioned that because in twenty
twenty one, when I went 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'd reach
out to the government, but it's like once you cross
the border and you get into the United States, they
(04:18):
don't care anymore. 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 1 (04:31):
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
(04:53):
your house for dinner or somebody burglarizing your house in
the middle of the night. Yes, they're both at your house.
One was in in one was not. What is so
hard to understand? Do they think we're all stupid? And
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 2 (05:13):
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
(05:35):
all have claims that it's a country, it's not just
a flap in the face to mine, but it's a
slap in the face and my parents and all those
who have spent the money, who've invested, who pay 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
(05:55):
them on the other side. It's ridiculous, and I think
it's a pretty much trus treason is man.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
You nailed at seven to ten wo r The Voice
of New York Henrisatto Win from Mark 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 are. You've became a
member of our military to be to show your pride
(06:22):
in America. 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
(06:42):
American that they lose the sense of how special it is.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
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
as being done at person. It's done on purpose to
try and destroy the fabric of our nation. So it's
up to us to do what's right. I support ICE,
(07:08):
and I believe that all of our citizens should support Ice,
and we need to put America first above all, not
the means of others.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
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 relations could
turn around and arrest in the New Jersey State Police
(07:34):
for doing that, right, I mean, that's interfering with the
federal officer.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's just about to get in and I was watching
not too long ago that she was voting an idea
to not paid 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
(07:58):
Mikey Cheryl is just talking rhetoric right now, she actually
realizes the responsibility that she has and tries to do
the right thing. I won't hold my breath, but I
really hope so.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
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 and having to
(08:28):
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,
(08:49):
and then you can't 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. 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.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Donation, they can follow me on social media. Just go
to Billy premp Ed b I L Y p r E,

visit my website, my policies. If you had to volunteer, donate,
get on board because we got a big mission to
do with 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 1 (09:24):
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.
(09:47):
Happy Thanksgiving, my friend, Billy Preppa, thank you for coming
on this morning.
