Billy Prempeh, Republican candidate for New Jersey’s ninth district surrounding Paterson, NJ joined Matt Holloway on The #HollowNet for MoJo5.0 Radio to discuss his campaign and his plans to combat corruption in Washington, D.C. by striking at the heart of leftist corruption in Congress and ousting 26-year incumbent Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ). Pascrell is now 86 years old and has held the city of Paterson and the surrounding political machinery in thrall to the Democratic Party for over forty years. Prempeh who ran unsuccessfully in 2020 but still had a remarkable 36% showing believes that following redistricting changes which bolstered other Congressional Districts at the expense of eroding Pascrell’s base has opened an opportunity to flip this key seat.
Prempeh Is Calling Corruption By Its Name: Pelosi
As alluded to earlier Prempeh was quick to identify the heart of the corruption in Congress though, telling Holloway,
“I mean, look at Nancy Pelosi right now. She’s been in there. What I believe 37 years, 40 years. And she’s making all kinds of stock trades to the point that people on the internet are following her stock trades to make money. Cuz it’s practically a sure shot. I wonder where she’s getting all that information.”
“You know, she’s been in there for a long time. She’s got lobbyists calling her all day and every day and she’s benefiting from this. You know, my opponent, his son is one of the biggest lobbyists in Washington, DC, practically selling access to his father like someone else we know in the white house. Um, so it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s getting ridiculous. You know, if, if I get into office and I can’t get my job done in under 10 years, I failed the American people. Not the other way around you, shouldn’t be in there as if this is a career. This is not a career. This is a duty. This is a service to your nation. And this is something that, um, should be an honor to do. And unfortunately, we have so many people in Congress and in the House of Representatives that are using it as a stepping stone for further things and to benefit their own pockets.”
Prempeh’s Solution For Term Limits Is Impressive
Before annihilating Nancy Pelosi’s penchant for good stock picks Billy was beginning to discuss his 8,10,12 plan for Term limits.
“I have something called the 8, 10, 12 plan where presidents are limited to nothing but 10 years house representatives are limited to 10 years, and senators are limited to 12 years. Anything past that point? I, I believe, and it’s not even that I believe it’s we just see it, anything past those limits. These leaders start to go too radical and they start to worry about their own personal interests, their own pockets, their lobbyists, their special interests, rather than the will of the American people.”
Matt then asked Billy, “You’re asking people who have been in power for decades, for generations to effectively vote themselves out of office. So that is a very, very steep hill to climb. It’s a huge ask. And I mean, even, even if you had an overwhelming Republican majority in both Houses because the red tsunamis come, you know. The polls are all saying it, the polls are all showing it. We’re looking at a very, very strong 2022. Let’s not get cocky though.
But even if you had an overwhelming majority in both houses, there’s a lot of old Republicans out there, a lot of old guard, GOP who are gonna be just as hesitant to ink that piece of paper as anybody else. The only main time I’ve really heard term limits seriously discussed is what we’re talking about in Article Five situation where yes, Congress can effectively be sidestepped. So do you feel, do you feel like you can make this work in Congress somehow? Or is it going to take something like an Article Five?”
That’s when Billy proved that he’s not reading from a script and is reworking his plans on the fly, which is a crucial requirement for someone who is going to help guide us into the future.
“I believe it’s possible. And, and, and I may even modify my 8, 10, 12 plan a little bit as well too, because Madison Cawthorne, um, just recently proposed some legislation, um, that would, that I believe would be a lot more effective. Like I believe there has to be a time of an 8, 10, 12, but his way of getting around that problem that would prevent sitting legislators from voting themselves out, is that anyone that’s currently sitting as Congressperson will be exempt from the provision, um, that they, that they’ll have to be removed from office at that point. The only way to get that person out of office is to vote them out.
Any Congressperson after that point would be subject to the term limit. So it may not be this Congress coming up. It may be the next two congresses and term limits will, will be able to, um, to be, uh, a practical reality. So I think the people that are in there, if you’ve got it locked up like you say, you got it locked up term limits, shouldn’t apply to you. If you think you can stay in it. I’m talking about the Pelosi of the world, for example. However, um, if, uh, if they do decide to retire or they’re voted out anyone that comes in and replace that seat, your subject of term limits, just like everybody else.”
Most politicians would vapor-lock immediately when someone challenges their policies, deflect or give a non-answer but Billy Prempeh is not your typical politician, he’s quick on his feet and ready to consider new information and adapt his policies to improve them with input from others. Keep your eyes on this man. He has a future.
