  Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wr Kin from Mark Today, here's Ken Rosanna and it's
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: so good to be with you that day before Thanksgiving
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and our friend here, Billy Prempa is an Air Force
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: veteran who is running for Congress in New Jersey's ninth
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: congressional district, which includes the city of Patterson, a heavily
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hispanic district which voted for President Trump. The New Jersey
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: State Senate recently introduced a bill that would make it
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: illegal illegal for ice agents to wear masks when doing
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: their work. It would be punishable by a fine of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: up to one thousand dollars in time behind bars. So
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we say good morning to Billy Prempa. What do you
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: think about the nuttiness of the New Jersey State Senate.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think you nailed it right there. It's
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: straight up nuttiness. I mean, I think Democratic Party is
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: trying to find any opportunity to obstruct what President Trump
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: is trying to do in this country. The people want
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: safer streets. We want to have these people out of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: our country. And the truth is that working as an
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: ice agent, it's a very difficult job. It could be
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: very dangerous, even puts you at a risk. And I
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: think that's having someone arrested and put in jail and
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: find it only solely done to try and disincentivize our
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: ice atas from getting their work done. But it only
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: empowers a criminal at the end of the day.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: You know, Billy, I thought the Democrats were the party
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: that loved masks about it exactly, But they are saying
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: there would be an exemption to medical masks or to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: masks that are see through, like the face shields. So
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: here's what I would do if I was the head
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of ICE in the region, I would say, well, these
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: are medical masks. They're medically required because every one of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: our agents was exposed to a substance at work, so
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: they have to wear medical masks. I mean, technically there's
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: vagueness in the way the law is written, but I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: mean it's unenforceable nonetheless, because right the supremacy Clause of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the Constitution says state and local laws cannot be enacted
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that would supersede federal laws.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and that's the issue that that I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: think that are the Democratic Party is doing here is
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the rules for the rules, not for me. Kind of
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: scenario when the pandemic was going on, they all weren't
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: favored for it, But now when people are trying to
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: do their job, they're completely against it. And the issue
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: is that you also bring up a very valid point,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: is like we don't know who's coming in, what they have,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: or what the situation may be. I'll think it's more
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: different than police officers even covering their face when they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: entering certain circumstances. We don't know what they may have,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I mean. And the frustrating thing is is a lot
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of the drugs that are coming into this country, pensanl particularly,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: it only takes a very small amount to hurt you
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and affect you. And I think that the safety and
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the well being of our ice officers is paramount, especially
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: when we don't know who we're dealing with.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Look, the Democrat Party of the United States is responsible
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: for the greatest trafficking of individual humans in history. Think
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: about the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of kids
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: miners who were sex trafficked and permitted to have that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: done to them. Literally, with the blessing of the Biden administration,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: we lost track of hundreds of thousands of kids. They
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: came in, they went to sponsor family sponsor families that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: weren't veted. In some cases, you had families literally who
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: received three hundred kids and then there was no follow
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: up done. You had phone numbers. And this is not
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: my opinion, this isn't rumor. This is in a congressional hearing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You had an agent of the federal government under the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Biden administration saying that there was an eight hundred number
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: given to these miners when they got to their homes,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they're homes of their sponsors in the United States, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: they were told if there's a problem, if you're stress,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: if there's an issue, if you're being abused, call this number.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And apparently only one human being was assigned to answer
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that call, and some fifty thousand plus calls came in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and went unanswered. That is disgusting. Where is the prosecution
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of these individuals.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I think they're I think they're complicit into human trafficking.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting that you mentioned that because in twenty
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: twenty one, when I went over to the southern border,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we were able to speak with some of the migrants
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: that were crossing over, and this was something that I've
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: heard frequently that if you had any issue, you'd reach
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: out to the government, but it's like once you cross
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the border and you get into the United States, they
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: don't care anymore. I think that was more of a
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: virtue signal to make the nation believe that something was
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: being done on their behalf and their benefit. But I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: think once they got inside, nobody really cared. It just
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: became our problem at the end of the day.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't know about you. I'm sure you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: probably feel similar to me on this one. The conflation
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: by Democrats of illegal migrants and migrants, there is a difference.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: There are so many millions of people in this country
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: who migrated here legally, and then you have illegal migrants.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: There is a difference. It's like you inviting somebody into
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: your house for dinner or somebody burglarizing your house in
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Yes, they're both at your house.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: One was in in one was not. What is so
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: hard to understand? Do they think we're all stupid? And
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: as the grandchild of migrants who came legally, I am
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: so highly offended when I hear that conflation, and I'm
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: sure many legal migrants.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Are, Yeah, including myself. I mean, both of my parents
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: immigrated here from Ghana legally nineteen eighty four. They also
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: brought fourteen other relatives into the country, each and every
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: one of them swearing as an American citizen, taking the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: oath and doing it the right way. So when I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: see when I see people on the left claiming that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: no one is illegal and everyone is legal, and they
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: all have claims that it's a country, it's not just
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: a flap in the face to mine, but it's a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: slap in the face and my parents and all those
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: who have spent the money, who've invested, who pay their taxes,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: who have done it the right way to happily become
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: an American citizen. And the fact that there's people that
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: want to hop the border or overstay their visas and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: then take advantage of our nation, and we have a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: party that's supposed to be representing the American people representing
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: them on the other side. It's ridiculous, and I think
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty much trus treason is man.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You nailed at seven to ten wo r The Voice
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of New York Henrisatto Win from Mark on the Wednesday
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving with Billy Prepp. But who, by the way,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is an Air Force veteran running for Congress in New
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Jersey's ninth congressional district. So look at that. You were
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the child of immigrants, and you are. You've became a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: member of our military to be to show your pride
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: in America. And it's funny, my parents same situation. My
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: grandparents came from Italy. My father comes from a family
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of nine boys, and I believe eight of the nine,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: including my dad, we're all in the military. I mean,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's just it's that pride of being American. But what's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: said is you see too many people by the third, fourth,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: fifth generation, they sort of get so used to being
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: American that they lose the sense of how special it is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Absolutely and I don't want that to ever be lost.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I think that's something that America is starting to lose
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: because of that conflation between migrants and immigrants and illegals
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: and actual citizens. And I think a lot of that
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: as being done at person. It's done on purpose to
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: try and destroy the fabric of our nation. So it's
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: up to us to do what's right. I support ICE,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and I believe that all of our citizens should support Ice,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and we need to put America first above all, not
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the means of others.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Now, I'd like to see if this bill makes it
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: through the Assembly and then gets to either the current governor,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Governor Murphy or Governor Mikey in January. Like to see
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: if it gets to their desks, if they sign it
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: into law. Would New Jersey State Police arrest US federal agents?
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And then what would happen because the federal relations could
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: turn around and arrest in the New Jersey State Police
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: for doing that, right, I mean, that's interfering with the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: federal officer.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It's just about to get in and I was watching
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: not too long ago that she was voting an idea
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to not paid federal taxes to the federal government. So
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I can only see the situation getting worse before it
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: actually gets good. But who knows. I mean, similar to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: how President Trump was able to get mob Donnie to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the table, and it seems like they've been able to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: make some sense of what can be done for the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: betterment of the people of New York. I'm hoping that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Mikey Cheryl is just talking rhetoric right now, she actually
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: realizes the responsibility that she has and tries to do
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the right thing. I won't hold my breath, but I
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: really hope so.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, Billy, just the funny thing again. Democrat hypocrisy. Here
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: she her argument. Mikey. Cheryl's argument was New Jersey is
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: paying more money to the federal government than it gets back. Well,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: how about the same argument democrats use with take the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: rich and make the rich pay more taxes for what
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it's redistribution of wealth. Same thing with the states. Sometimes
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: New Jersey will be making more money and having to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: pay more money to the federal government. Sometimes it'll be
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: on the recipient. And it all depends. As New Jersey
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: continues to lose population to Southern states, there will be
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a point when Florida will be paying more income taxes
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: than New Jersey to the federal government and New Jersey
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: will be on the recipient end. That's the way it works.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But I love how Democrats love it when it's taxed
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the rich, but when it comes to tax the rich, state, No,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and then you can't do that. Now we got to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: get more money back. I'd like to see Mikey if
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: she tries to do that, she'll be hauled off in cuffs.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That would be quite interesting to see. But I'm not
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: saying that one way or the other. Billy tell us once again,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: tell us your website how they can find out more
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: about your campaign and if they want to make a.

• 9:27
  Speaker 1: who may be running in Mikey Cheryl's old congressional seat
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is a Bernie Sanders person. So somebody ultra ultra ultra left.
• 9:35

• 9:42
