you you
you simple as just claim the cops walked up, shot a guy in the
back several times.
But regardless of what happened, riots erupted, a whole car dealership was burned to the ground, right next to a sign that read, Black Lives Matter.
I think I'm a bit worried this could lead to more widespread riots, kind of like the George Floyd riots we saw initially the first week of June.
So I'm hoping it's not.
That's why I think it's really smart they're deploying the National Guard.
But we're going to talk about this.
We're going to talk about some stories pertaining to these riots, to Black Lives Matter.
We're also going to talk about Donald Trump's second campaign, or I'm sorry, a second term agenda list.
If you've seen my main channel over at youtube.com slash Timcast, I said, I love it.
I'm gonna vote for the guy.
I think it's great.
I don't think it's perfect, but I think any sane person would look at it and say, this is a good list.
And I noticed something interesting.
There's another guy who had a similar list, and he's actually running for office in New Jersey.
His name is Billy Prempeh, and he's just sitting literally right here.
billy prempeh
Hello there!
tim pool
Yeah, so do you wanna just introduce yourself real quick?
billy prempeh
Hello everybody, so my name is Billy Prampab from Paterson, New Jersey.
I've lived in Paterson for over 30 years of my life.
I'm a United States Air Force veteran, first-generation American.
My parents, they migrated to this country from Ghana, West Africa.
And, you know, they came here to give me a better life, give me a better standard of living.
They didn't really have much of a positive life back home in Ghana.
You know, when I came to this country, or when I was raised in this country, when my parents came here, they wanted to do something different.
There weren't a lot of opportunities.
Growing up, my mother and her relatives, they lost everything that they had shortly after her father passed away.
And they were all living in a kitchen, probably twice the size of this little area here, right?
tim pool
Wow.
billy prempeh
They cleared out the kitchen, put a bunch of bunk beds in there.
It was about 13 people living inside of that.
Inside of that room.
And my mother, she sold everything that she had, you know.
She sold everything that she owned, and she decided to move to the United Kingdom.
If you don't know, Ghana was colonized by the English, so it was quite simple to become a citizen in England.
She wanted to bring her older brother.
Her older brother punked out.
He just wussed out for some reason, didn't want to go over, and that's okay.
So she went over there and just did some of the worst jobs in the world to try and make ends meet.
And eventually she ended up meeting my father.
They came to the United States and I popped out.
tim pool
Yeah.
billy prempeh
Along with my older brother and little sister and the rest is history, man.
tim pool
Wow, man.
American dream?
billy prempeh
I would say so.
I would say so.
tim pool
Join the Air Force?
billy prempeh
Join the Air Force.
That's awesome.
And even with that, joining the United States Air Force, I decided to do it because at the time, I was a big-time Barack Obama supporter.
Wow.
Big-time, big-time Barack Obama supporter.
I thought he was going to do a lot of great things for this country.
You know, my parents coming here and seeing, you know, I never thought we'd ever see an African American president, ever.
And here he is, he's on television, and that was a moment when I was feeling ultra gung-ho American.
I said, you know, this is a great thing.
And, you know, I wanted to do something bigger than myself.
I felt, you know, what's the best thing that I could do to give back to my country?
At this point, my father had passed away.
Mother was having a very difficult time making ends meet.
And I said, you know, I can go to the Air Force because I'm not really getting much of an education here in community college.
So I dropped out of there, decided to sign up for the Air Force.
Initially wanted to be a Marine, by the way.
But, you know, they didn't want to take me.
They said my score is too high.
tim pool
Oh yeah.
billy prempeh
Which I thought was ridiculous because I'm like, you know, I want to be infantry.
He's like, why do you want to be infantry?
You can do something else.
Like, why don't you do like admin or something?
I don't want to be an admin.
So anyway, I ended up joining the United States Air Force.
I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall and I worked as an aerospace ground equipment mechanic for about two years.
I didn't end up finishing my full term while I was in the Air Force, and the reason being is because of how things went when Barack Obama decided to get involved with Libya.
So at that time, our base, RAF Mildenhall, we were a support base.
We did in-air refueling for our sister base, RAF Lake and Heath.
They had all the fighter jets.
They were going out, doing a combat thing.
We had to go and take care of them.
One day, or at least the day when this whole thing kicked off, Um, nobody had any idea we were about to go into Libya until we were already in Libya.
Wow.
In fact, that day I was at the club on base with one of my sergeants.
We were hanging out, had a couple of drinks.
I go home, no big deal.
Alarms start going off on the base, jets start going crazy, they're flying off and it was at that point that it became apparent that This isn't just a job, you know?
Because it felt like a job the entire time.
You know, you wear a suit, go to work, do your job, you know, go back, hang out with your friends and rally all night, you know?
And at that point, it became apparent that, you know, something serious is happening.
And at that point, I thought that, you know, it's probably the Russians or the Chinese or something.
I'm like, who's going to steamroll England, you know, for us to... What's England doing?
It's not happening to them, you know?
And we ended up having to go to the squadron building.
They come out, they tell us, hey, we're doing 24-hour shifts, well, 16-hour shifts, seven days a week, until mission accomplished.
This is orders by the POTUS.
Wow.
We're instilling a humanitarian no-fly zone over Libya.
That's how they try to sugarcoat it, make it sound not so bad.
And me, like a moron, I actually got in trouble for this.
Me, like a moron, decided to raise my drunken hand and say, I don't understand.
Why are we going?
Because listen, whenever, whenever a commander and officer says something, you know, or something, not just you do it, it's like they say, Oh, any questions?
It's a trick question.
You don't answer the question.
You know, and, you know, like an idiot, I raised my hand.
I'm like, well, why are we doing this?
It doesn't make any sense.
You know, Libya is not a threat to the Constitution, the people, or anything like that.
Why are we in England getting involved and putting American lives at risk?
And he kind of just cut me off and said, listen, you do that, you get an Article 15, and that's it.
All right?
tim pool
What is Article 15?
billy prempeh
Article 15 is like one of the worst punishments you can get.
You can lose rank, you can get arrested, all kinds of stuff can happen to you.
It really depends on the severity of what happens.
And from that point on, you know, there were a lot of Special Forces planes that started coming to our base.
At the time, the CV-22 Osprey was, uh, not many people knew about the plane.
I don't know if you know what it looks like, but, uh, anyway.
tim pool
Is that the thing with the, like, the jets go up and down?
billy prempeh
Right, right, right, right, right.
tim pool
Yeah, I played Fallout, so they had those.
billy prempeh
Exactly, exactly.
So, so, um, that was the first time I saw one of those planes, and they weren't from our base.
They were from somewhere else.
These were all Special Forces planes, Special Forces units that were going to be using these planes.
And, um, The entire time I just couldn't help but think to myself that, man, people are going to die tonight.
And at this point, I was very politically involved, but I would say I was still in a haze as to what's really, really going on in the world here.
And when I saw this, I decided, you know, If I go out and I give this generator to these guys and
they go out and do what they have to do, people are going to die. People are going to get hurt. And
I didn't really want any part to that.
I disobeyed those orders. Ended up getting in trouble. Yeah, I got in trouble for that.
But, you know, looking back at it, I don't feel like I did the wrong thing. You know,
at the time, Barack Obama made this claim, we're going to go into Libya and do this stuff. But he
did it when he did it when Congress was when they couldn't come to a conclusion for the debt ceiling.
tim pool
It was the shutdown or whatever.
billy prempeh
Correct.
So it was shut down, people in the military didn't know if they were going to get paid and all kinds of stuff.
Something in the back of my mind, and I'm glad, and I was right, in the back of my mind I felt like this doesn't feel right.
Even with Iraq, a lot of people didn't agree with Iraq, but at least George Bush got a declaration of war to go and do what he did.
tim pool
The AUMF.
billy prempeh
Right.
So I saw that and I'm like, you know, this isn't adding up to me.
Now, they're on the base.
They're telling us that, you know, oh, don't pay attention to any of the fake news.
It's on television.
You can only really get CNN and AFN, the Armed Forces Network, on base.
And the only thing it was really saying was the humanitarian no-fly zone has been successful.
It's like no real answers as to what happened.
But when I went off base, I went to my girlfriend at the Times House and I started looking at Al Jazeera, Press 24 and all these other news stations.
The protests that were happening in Libya were saying a completely different thing than what they were saying in the United States.
The United States are saying, oh, we're doing this humanitarian thing and they're supporting us because they want to help get rid of Gaddafi.
When in reality, they're like, we don't need NATO interference.
You know, it's like, we've got our own revolution going on.
This was during the Arab Spring.
We've got our own revolution going on.
We don't want any American interference.
Lo and behold, this happens.
Benghazi happened shortly after that.
You start bombing land, you start bombing farmlands and all kinds of stuff.
Doing things that, in my opinion, completely violated the Geneva Convention.
So when I saw this, I was like, this is treason.
You know, we didn't get any authorization from Congress to do this, and now we're out here killing innocent people.
Like, I signed up to defend my country and I go out and wage these nonsensical wars.
And you see what history has laid out.
Shortly after that happened, you know, All these terrorist cells that came together, took over Tripoli, they created ISIS, started funneling oil through Syria, and the rest is history.
And now in Africa, and I tell this to a lot of people that a lot of people aren't aware of, the reason why I don't support Barack Obama anymore is we have the first black president and he has done more for slavery than anybody else in history.
Because right now in Libya, Pretty sure it's still going on right now.
In Libya, they have these open-air slave markets where they're going around collecting people from my parents' country, Ghana.
They're kidnapping people all across the country and selling them off into slavery.
And that would have never happened.
Whether you like Gaddafi or not, it would have never happened if he was still alive.
And when I saw those kinds of things, I kind of just wanted to get out.
I wanted to go back home.
And it was a different story when I came home as well.
Because going to England, I got culture shock going over there.
You know, I saw how Everything was very different.
There's cameras all over the place.
I'm pretty sure you've been to England before, right?
tim pool
Oh yeah, they got the crazy surveillance.
billy prempeh
Everywhere, right?
unidentified
Everywhere.
tim pool
Have you ever seen that meme where it's like George Orwell's old house and there's a camera next to it?
billy prempeh
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
You know, they had cameras all over the entire place and I just was like, you know, I understand why we shot these guys and started our own country, man.
You know what I mean?
No offense to the English over there, right?
I've got English kids.
But it's like, you know, I saw this and I just was not vibing with the country.
I just wanted to go back to America.
And coming back to America, the country was totally different.
Before I left, there was a lot of optimism.
Everybody was happy.
First black president, things are going good.
You know, it's all great.
But then Occupy Wall Street happened.
Everybody's out here protesting.
We didn't know what we're going to do with the bailouts.
Everyone's for socialism.
Everyone's for communism.
Everybody's on this whole Marxist train right now, and it just it just blew my mind It didn't make much sense to me because the only thing that kept repeating in my mind is I had a seventh grade teacher in School 18 in Patterson's name was mr. D'Amicolo Growing up, he grew up in fascist Italy during the times of World War II.
And he would tell us these kinds of things about, you know, be very mindful and be very careful about these leaders that come in and promise all these kinds of things.
And they start drifting the country into socialism.
It always sounds like a good idea on paper, but in practice, it never ends well.
I remember a lot of kids were just like, haha, that'll never happen in America.
You know, nobody really believed that.
And look where we are today.
tim pool
You promise free stuff to people.
They're going to take it.
billy prempeh
Oh, yeah, of course.
And look at where we are right now.
I got sick and tired of seeing this kind of stuff.
I really, really got sick and tired of seeing this and I kind of just kept a backseat and kept a lot of my opinions to myself.
At this time, I was very, very big into Ron Paul.
tim pool
Yeah, dude.
billy prempeh
Oh man, massively big into Ron Paul.
And the funniest thing is before I went into the Air Force, This was around late 2008, early 2009.
My friend Dan Avery and Rich Eason, they sat me down in front of a Starbucks in Glen Rock and we're talking about politics.
I'm like, oh yeah, Barack Obama and these guys are all Ron Paul dudes.
They're like, do you know about the fractional reserve banking system?
Do you know about Austrian economics?
tim pool
Yeah, the Fed rabbit hole.
billy prempeh
Right.
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
It's like, do you know how money's created?
You know, how's Obama going to pay for these kinds of things?
And I had no idea.
And then, you know, back then it's like flip phones were still kind of the thing.
Pulls out a flip phone.
And not a flip phone, the Verizon chocolate phone.
Pulls it out.
We go on YouTube and we start looking at Ron Paul videos, right?
I'm like, I don't want to watch this old guy.
And this was like before going in.
tim pool
Old Republican guy, dude.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And at that point, I'm like, Republican?
tim pool
Now you're a Republican.
billy prempeh
All day, all day, bro.
tim pool
Real quick, we mentioned you're running in New Jersey's 9th District.
billy prempeh
Yes, I'm running in the 9th District as a Republican.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah.
Alright, continue, continue.
This is a great intro, by the way.
unidentified
Keep going, keep going.
billy prempeh
So, you know, we're watching this video about Ron Paul, and I'm like, I don't want to watch this.
I don't care about this Obama, you know?
But I always kept it in the back of my mind, what they were talking about, but around 2010, when I came back, I started working at JFK Airport, doing the same thing I was doing in the Air Force, but for JFK.
And I couldn't even afford an apartment, right?
I was making like $28, $29 an hour, really good money, but the tax was just ridiculous.
And I ended up living with this guy named Nick in Ozone Park.
It's a whole other story, but this guy here, man, that was the first time I ever encountered a socialist and knew what a socialist was.
Like, in his house, he had, like, this massive communist flag hanging on the wall, all kinds of, like, literature from Lenin and all kinds of stuff, and I was intrigued.
I'm not gonna lie, because I've never seen any of this kind of stuff.
I'm like, whoa, look at all this Russian stuff, you know what I mean?
So, we're sitting down, we're talking about this stuff.
Oh man, you should you should totally be a socialist like, you know, we're for free college or for free health
You believe in equality, right? I'm like, yeah, I believe in equality
And he's like, you know what you should come with me to this this rally, right?
and it wasn't a church in Brooklyn massive massive church was probably about like 200 people inside this church and
There's this guy he's up there and he's just like, you know We're gonna we're gonna fight for the rights and you know
We're gonna get free college because college is too expensive rent is expensive
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, these are all good ideas.
But I remember asking the people next to me, this is cool, but how are we going to implement this?
What do you mean how are we going to implement this, man?
We're going to tax the rich.
And I'm like, tax them what?
Like, how much?
Like, I don't understand.
tim pool
And where?
Right.
For how long?
billy prempeh
It's like, they're the 1%.
They have the money to pay for this.
And I'm like, You do realize these people have massive jets, right?
These guys have bank accounts.
They can wire their money and disappear.
There's no way you're gonna write, unless you're gonna write a law to mandate them from not leaving the country or moving their business, and I highly doubt you're gonna be able to do that.
But no one had a real answer.
And it was at that point, when I came back from that rally, that I went home and I was like, let me look at Ron Paul and see what Ron Paul's talking about.
And listen, for the people who don't know about Ron Paul or haven't actually heard from the guy, You see him talking.
He's a very small guy.
Kind of boring.
Which is why I believe he didn't win.
And he should have won.
Honestly.
I think he would have been the greatest president ever.
tim pool
He would have done nothing.
He would have pulled powers back.
Dr. No.
billy prempeh
Exactly.
He would have been like, I'm not listening to that.
I'm not doing that.
We gotta bring in the Federal Reserve.
He's talking about the gold standard.
tim pool
No war.
billy prempeh
Yeah, and I'm like, and then I thought about, I'm like, listen, at this point I already figured out the whole OPEC system and the petrol dollar and why we're going to war to get the oil to keep us going and all this stuff.
And I'm like, oh man, this guy definitely knows what he's talking about.
It's like bringing the gold back.
If you really think about it, every single conflict we've got going on in the United States stems from this fraction reserve banking system.
The only reason why we're doing corrupt stuff is to pay all these taxes and pay off this Fed on the debt that will never pay off.
You know? And it really changed my perspective on a lot of things, but obviously I lost a lot of friends.
A lot of friends. And I was a very, very popular guy growing up, you know?
A lot of my opinions towards Obama, I would be very outspoken about this guy.
This guy's not for us, he's not for America.
And yeah, I just kind of sat in the sidelines for a while.
tim pool
Did you vote for Trump the first time?
billy prempeh
3 million and 22 percent, I voted for Donald Trump.
Oh yeah.
But you know something funny though that I will tell, and this surprises a lot of people, my entire life growing up, I hated Donald Trump.
tim pool
Really?
billy prempeh
I hated the guy.
tim pool
Because Patterson's, is that New York Metro, basically?
billy prempeh
Essentially.
Patterson's about 35 minutes out from New York City.
But I hated Trump.
My father, when he came to this country, man, my father was so gung-ho American.
I understand my language, I just can't speak it.
He was so adamant, like, no, you have to speak American, you're American.
We came here to be Americans.
That's that, right?
My father loved Donald Trump.
He thought, he was like, you know, to be an American and like, you know, build the tower and do this.
And my father would start all these businesses and do these things to try and, uh, and, you know, benefit his life or whatever.
unidentified
Right.
billy prempeh
And I was like, how do you like this guy?
I'm like, he's a, he's, he's just, he's just pompous.
He's got his ego through the roof.
He's like, you know, he's dating this girl that he's dating another woman.
And he's like, nah, that's the American dream.
That guy, you know?
And I'm like, no, it w it wasn't until, um, Late 2015, a little bit before he announced that he was running for president, that they were doing this town hall thing, and I can't find the video anymore for the life of me.
If you can, that'd be fantastic, but I believe it was MSNBC.
It was like a little town hall thing, and they were asking him questions about just his stance on a lot of different things, and they asked him about the war in Iraq, and he was like, you know, the war in Iraq was a mistake.
We should never went into war with Iraq.
If anybody really did their research, they'd find out it was the Saudis, okay?
It was the Saudis.
A good amount of them.
that i was like oh my god he's talking about saudi arabia like i'd never other
than ron paul never saw the politicians to call out saudi arabia for doing that eleven because those hijackers
are sorry reuben they were in iraqi they were not
tim pool
a good a good amount of them right and i and i guess there was a some some news and i
have to get the fact that this one
where they'll uh... they allowed the families to sue saudi arabia or there
billy prempeh
I heard about that.
I'm not too clear on that as well, too.
But the point that I'm making is like, we know that about at least 11 of those hijackers were Saudi Arabians.
So I was like, okay, that's interesting.
He's actually bringing that up.
And then I asked him, you know, what's one of the biggest economic problems that are facing the United States?
And he said, it's the fractured reserve banking system.
It's the Federal Reserve.
tim pool
Trump said that?
billy prempeh
Yes.
unidentified
Wow.
billy prempeh
You cannot find this clip anymore.
He said this.
I was sitting down, I was watching with my boy Gord, we're watching in the room, and I'm like, yo, this guy's talking about the Federal Reserve.
The only other person I heard talking about this was Ron Paul, so then I said, okay, there may be something to this Trump guy, you know?
tim pool
I know he's been talking about China forever.
Yeah!
And trade and bring everything back.
So, this is an intro.
billy prempeh
Yeah, I went on a tangent.
tim pool
No, it was good though, it was an awesome story.
billy prempeh
I mean, dude, you defied orders you thought were illegal or... It's not even a matter of them being legal or illegal because if the president says it, it's legal, even if it's wrong.
Slavery was legal at one point, right?
Exactly.
It was more of a moral thing.
You know, I didn't feel that it made sense for us to go out and do these atrocities.
On top of that, what made me more upset than the fact that we were doing this was the fact that on CNN and AFN, they're saying that, oh, the humanitarian no-fly zone was a success.
And then you look at all the other news coverage.
And in England, you get access to all kinds of news.
tim pool
Fake news.
billy prempeh
They're talking about the complete opposite.
The complete opposite of what's really going on.
And I said, they're definitely lying to me.
And I always kind of held this facade that it's like, you know, we're fighting for freedom.
We're doing the right thing.
And I was like, this ain't it.
tim pool
So now you are running in a D plus 16.
It's like very Democrat district.
It's the ninth district in North Jersey.
Patterson, that city, that's where the voter fraud is.
That's the big story.
That's where you're at.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
So anyway, there's your intro.
If you guys haven't already, smash the like button.
We're going to be talking about a lot of this.
I do want to jump over and talk about what's going on with the National Guard in Kenosha now that we've got everybody here.
Okay, cool.
And your opinions on all this stuff with the riots and everything like that.
So for everybody that's just tuning in, you can subscribe.
We do the show Monday through Friday live.
Hit the like button, like I just said.
And got a bunch of stories, but that's Billy Prempeh.
billy prempeh
I am the guy.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Man, I gotta say, like, normally we just do a couple minutes for the intro, but your story talking about the war, Libya, that's rad, bro.
I'm impressed that you were willing to say no to something you thought was wrong.
billy prempeh
Believe me, I got in a lot of trouble for it.
unidentified
Yeah, I know.
tim pool
And that's honorable, bro.
Because I see these cops, you know, the governors say, I'm gonna issue an edict in violation of the Constitution, and so many of these cops are just like, okay.
Let's go out and do it.
unidentified
Yep.
tim pool
Yep.
No, I like the guys, the sheriffs and everything in Virginia who are like, we're not going
to enforce these laws.
I like the cops to say, if the Constitution says no, you don't do it.
Right.
Which brings me now to what's going on in Kenosha.
So I'll just quickly go over this, the news here.
Washington Post reports, after video shows Wisconsin police shooting a black man multiple
times, National Guard called in to Kenosha.
I'm sure most of you have heard the story already.
It's about a man named Jacob Blake.
He rounds the front of a silver SUV on Sunday, with two Kenosha, Wisconsin police officers falling close behind, their guns drawn.
When Blake opens the door and steps inside, the officers suddenly fire into his back at least seven times.
He's currently in serious condition.
The officers have been placed on administrative leave, and the city of Kenosha declared emergency
unidentified
I agree.
tim pool
curfews after protests rocked the city into early Monday morning.
Another curfew was set for Monday night, while the governor announced he had called in the
National Guard.
So the video goes viral.
I think calling in the National Guard was the right thing to do.
I agree.
Especially after the George Floyd riots got as crazy as they did.
But a lot of people right now, it's really coming down on partisan lines.
On the left, they're like, how could the police shoot a guy seven times in the back?
On the right, they're saying he was clearly resisting officer's orders, he reached into a vehicle, the cops are justified.
So I'll just jump to it.
You're a Republican.
You're in a very blue district, but you've also grown up in the Fourth Ward.
I'll let you describe it.
billy prempeh
The Fourth Ward is good fun.
Bring your family and kids.
It's a great place to be.
tim pool
I think.
billy prempeh
But no, Fourth Ward is a, it's not, put it like this.
It's always been a pretty dangerous place.
As a child growing up, even though it was dangerous, we didn't have the amount of shootings that we have today.
Now, it's like literally, if you have the news break app on your phone, literally every other day, sometimes every single day, someone's getting shot.
tim pool
So here's what I'm thinking.
I'm really curious as to your opinion on defunding the police.
Specifically on what these cops did with this guy.
So apparently there's a man of the same name who lived on that block.
Because we don't know if exactly it's him.
I'm assuming it is.
But he's got an open warrant for third-degree felony sexual assault.
There's also news circulating that at one point he was arrested for illegally having a concealed firearm or something to that effect.
I'm wondering if the cops took that information when they were going in and said, hey, there's this guy, or whether they knew or they didn't.
But I'm curious your thoughts on this situation and defunding the police, considering you live in an area which is 35 minutes outside of New York, you're running as a Republican, and you're in an area that's, I guess, not too great.
So what do you think, man?
billy prempeh
So to touch on the situation that happened in Minneapolis, when I saw the video at first, The first thing I said is listen, we don't we don't have all the facts and even what you're telling me right now that this guy could have possibly You know had warrants existing or whatever.
I don't know that so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna Completely double down and say that this guy was in the wrong or whatever What I will say is this the shooting seven times is absolutely unnecessary.
I think that was a little bit excessive now another thing I will say though is Regardless of what stance you are, in a situation where anybody, not just a police officer, has a gun aimed at you, you don't turn your back on somebody with a gun aimed at you.
And from the way that it looked in the video, he was trying to get in a car, some people say he was getting in a car, some people say he was reaching for something.
The only thing that I'm focused on is when you got to the car, your hands are not, they're not visible, right?
You're opening into a vehicle that they don't know what's inside that vehicle.
Now, maybe these police officers weren't trained effectively, I don't know what the situation was, but you shot this guy up.
Right?
Maybe he had a gun, maybe he didn't have a gun, right?
We don't have the facts on that.
The problem that I have, though, is when people emotionally jump to something and start burning down the city, like we've got going on right now.
I firmly believe that the only way to fix this problem is to reform the police.
Now, you see what happened in New York.
They cut back, I believe it was $1.7 billion from the budget.
Cut about $1.7 billion off of the budget.
They closed off the crime task force in New York and crime shot up almost 200 plus percent.
Now, a lot of people are leaving New York.
People are even leaving and moving into my city of all... I don't know why, but you're moving into my city of all places.
And they're bringing a lot of that violence as well, too.
A lot of the people believe that we got to get rid of the police.
In Patterson, for example, about two days ago, and like I told you, I got the video up on my website, where I went up and I spoke with some of these Black Lives Matter protesters, kind of just, you know, pick their brains, see what's on their mind, because they painted this mural in the middle of the street.
And when I started speaking with them, a lot of them had the mentality of, well, we need to defund the police and get rid of the police.
And I said, okay.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here.
If we defund the police, then what?
What's the solution?
Because New York isn't defunded.
They just cut the budget, and you already see the ramifications of that.
If you're talking about a complete, total defunding of these police, what's the solution?
What do you replace it with, right?
Are we gonna rebuild the community task force?
That's gonna take some time, and we ain't got time.
Right?
So, the only solution that I see in place is there has to be a way to clean up the police from within, right?
When George Floyd passed away, this was the time when I announced what I created.
It's called the JARO Bill.
Stands for Justice, Accountability, and Reporting Officers Bill, right?
And this is an idea that I had shortly after the time that Eric Gardner got killed, but I had no aspirations for running for Congress or anything at that point.
I just figured now would be a great time to talk about it.
And what I feel is when something happens in an internal investigation, right?
And in this case, I brought up to these young individuals with Black Lives Matter.
I brought up a case that happened to a guy named Jameke Lowry in Patterson, New Jersey.
Now, this gentleman, he walked into a police department.
He was on a live stream.
Some people say he was on drugs.
Some people say he wasn't.
That's besides the point.
But he gets on the camera and he starts talking about how he's afraid someone's after him and they're gonna kill him or whatever.
Long story short, he leaves in an ambulance.
The following day his face is swollen shut and he's dead.
There's still no proper answer as to what happened.
The Patterson Police Department did an investigation to try and see what happened.
Internal investigation said no wrongdoing, we did nothing wrong.
tim pool
We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.
billy prempeh
Exactly my point.
So you raised the biggest issue in this problem, right?
When this happened, I told him, I said, I asked him, do you really believe that the Patterson administration, or even the administration of the state of New Jersey, cares about black lives?
And he said, no, I don't believe they do.
And I say, well, they didn't give us any justice or any solid answers for what happened to Jameke Lowry, yet they're allowing you to paint a massive Black Lives Matter logo in the middle of the street.
This is a virtue signal.
unidentified
Yeah.
billy prempeh
This is not action.
This is not progress.
You know, it's a symbol in the sense of like, hey, you know, they're listening to us, but they're listening to you to paint in the street.
They're not answering the actual questions.
tim pool
Bread and circuses.
billy prempeh
That's exactly what it is.
tim pool
Throwing out bread, the crowd cheers.
billy prempeh
And that's it.
They forget about it.
unidentified
Yeah.
billy prempeh
You know, so then I said, listen, What needs to be done to fix the situation is we have to find out, we need to create an organization that can police the police.
Because if the police are policing us, who polices them?
Right?
Who watches the watchmen?
So, the way that I feel that something like this will get resolved is there needs to be a new elected class.
We have freeholders.
Well, something else now, because Governor Murphy said it's whatever he's gonna call it.
You know, freeholder, mayor, councilman, all this stuff.
There needs to be something else called, in this case I'd call it the community justice officer, right?
This is the person who, say a situation like Jameke Lowry happens, right?
They go to this person, hey listen, we need you to help us investigate the situation.
We can't really count on the police to give us a thorough investigation.
Now, there's two things that are wrong with that problem is what if that person gets corrupted by the local police departments, right?
Okay, cool.
So that brings two parts.
Or, what if the police aren't cooperating with this person, right?
The next phase is the federal government, the Department of Justice, I believe, needs to create a national police department.
tim pool
Interesting.
billy prempeh
Because we've already got the FBI.
The FBI gets involved in some of these cases only when it's very high profile.
You know, massive drug deals or a George Floyd situation where it's a nationwide kind of thing.
That's the only time they get involved.
So I believe that the Department of Justice needs to create this national police force.
Their job solely is to investigate the police officers, right?
Have the same ability to get into the information, check out the evidence, just like the FBI can, right?
They can also prosecute these police officers if they find something wrong.
The reason why I believe this has to come from a federal level is because one, they have no allegiance to the state police.
They have no allegiance to the municipal police as well too, right?
Their job is solely to get to the bottom of the problem and prosecute.
Now...
With a situation like this, the next question someone asks is like, well, what if the FBI, I mean, what if the Department of Justice gets corrupted, right?
Let's say there's a guy in New Jersey who's working there.
I wouldn't want that.
I would want an officer from Montana to go and investigate what's going on in New Jersey, or something to that effect.
Second phase of that is I also believe that police officers need to go through more routine training.
They typically go through six months in police academy.
Every now and then they brush up on their firearm skills, brush up on CPR, and that's about it.
But if you're a doctor, dentist, or any one of these really high-profile jobs, you have to renew your license periodically.
Being a police officer is a very complicated position, right?
You gotta do all kinds of stuff, deal with mental health, deal with, you know, de-escalation, all kinds of things like that.
So I believe that at least twice a year, once or twice a year, these police officers would have to go through this training all over again.
And I believe there should be an incentive for it as well, too, right?
If you go to a class that teaches you how to disarm a gun or whatever the case may be, right, I believe that police officers should be compensated for that.
They should be given Preferential treatment for doing these kinds of things.
The reason why I say this is because if these justice officers come and they do an investigation, they can go down the list.
Okay, Officer Brown did this, this, this, and this.
Well, then why did you mess up?
How did you mess up?
The next problem we've got going on here is the unions.
It's very difficult to get rid of the unions, and I have no intention of getting rid of the unions.
They're there for a very specific reason, and I understand that.
The problem I have with the unions is they're going to protect the police to make sure that they look as good as possible so that they can continue to get the funding so that the police can continue to pay the unions and keep their existence together, right?
And for these reasons, there's some good officers, and I've spoken with lots of them and told them the same idea.
They agree with me.
You know, there's lots of very good officers that want to do the right thing, but it's very difficult to do the right thing when the union controls what's going on.
You try and go against the grain, and they can make your life very, very difficult, you know?
So, if they're not going to rat or snitch on each other, or throw each other under the bus, my solution is this.
As a police officer, if your job is to uphold the law, you should be held to a higher standard.
If you do something as wrong as stealing two pennies from somebody, and we find out you're doing 15 years, Fifteen.
Fifteen years.
tim pool
The cop, you say?
billy prempeh
Yes, the cop.
The reason why I say this is because how can you enforce the law and you're not able, you're not willing to accept the full punishment for you violating the law you're supposed to uphold in the first place, right?
tim pool
Are you exaggerating the 15 years?
You're just saying you commit a crime, you do the time.
billy prempeh
Correct, essentially.
Now, of course, we have to work out the legalities here of whether this will make sense or not, but the point that I'm making is if we find out that you've done something wrong, you have to face the penalties for it.
tim pool
Absolutely.
billy prempeh
You have to.
You can't because like it's it's too often where you know a police officer does something ridiculous and they kind of just walk off for like a slap on the wrist administrative leave or whatever the case may be and we shouldn't have situations like that.
tim pool
I got a guy off in uh I shouldn't say I shouldn't say it that way.
I got a guy found innocent.
Get that one clipped, everybody.
He was filming on the sidewalk.
Cop came up and arrested him.
Lied on the arrest report that the dude was obstructing a street.
And I had footage of it, so my footage got the guy proven not guilty.
Put it that way, everybody.
But, uh, the officer, nothing ever happened.
billy prempeh
You see?
tim pool
So this lady got to lie under oath to get someone arrested, and we had video evidence that she lied.
Nothing happened.
billy prempeh
Of course.
tim pool
That's too much for me.
billy prempeh
Exactly.
And it's like, situations like that happen all the time, and that's just a small situation, right?
So now, if something like that happens, now let's say they're investigating Officer Brown.
The chief knows, the union knows, everybody knows that this guy messed up, right?
He didn't follow his training, he did whatever the case may be.
You're trying to protect that guy, now you're obstructing their investigation.
You go down with him as well.
tim pool
It's tough though, like, you look at what happened in Kenosha, and when you look at it without any context, I can frame the story of Kenosha this one way.
A guy was walking to his car after breaking up a fight.
The police officers then decided to stop him because he was refusing their orders and fired seven times in the back.
It was excessive.
Man, this guy... This is what the left is saying.
He was just trying to break up a fight.
He was doing the right thing.
His kids were there.
That's one way to frame it.
I could frame it another way.
A wanted rapist was trying to flee from the police and reached into his vehicle.
It's a very different, you know, very different way of looking at it.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
Of course, the left, because it empowers their ideology and their narrative, will go with the, you know, oh no, this poor man.
And, you know, there are many conservatives who are saying, well, he reached in the van, it was justifiable.
I think the truth is a little closer to the middle.
Right. Look, the cops are trying to stop you. He was trying to flee. But you look at this and you
wonder about whether the cops here should face some kind of penalty. If they entered this and
they were told as they're driving in, we have a man who has an open warrant for felony sexual
assault, possibly armed, past conviction for illegal concealed weapon, be advised.
And then the cops pull up thinking like, this guy is not only a violent abuser of women, but he could have a gun, and he's ignoring us, and he reaches in the vehicle.
Did those cops do anything wrong, if that's how they were told to go in?
When I see stories like this, and many other stories, it sounds like the real issue, like Breonna Taylor for instance, the issue is the system.
The system has flaws.
billy prempeh
I agree.
tim pool
And we need to set it up in a way to maximize the protection of individuals, everybody.
Minimize the loss of life.
I'm sure you read about the Breonna Taylor stuff.
billy prempeh
Yes, yes.
tim pool
I was reading about it, and it's really difficult.
They're saying arrest the officers, and I'm like, I don't like the idea of plainclothes, no-knock raids.
But it seems like that was the problem.
billy prempeh
I agree.
tim pool
They were told to go do this, and they were like, okay.
And that's why I was like, dude, it was awesome that you were like, I'm not gonna do something I think is wrong.
These cops should be like, I'm not kicking someone's door in in plainclothes, you know?
billy prempeh
So for example, a situation like that makes perfect example.
Makes perfect sense.
Let's say a police officer says, hey, I'm not going to do something.
I feel it's illegal, whatever, right?
This police officer should have the ability to go and speak to these officers in the Department of Justice.
Listen, they're trying to tell me to do something illegal.
Regardless of what the union tries to say or do, it's like when the investigation really comes down to it and they can find out that these police officers were giving you an unlawful order, then you're clear.
Because even what's going to happen here in Kenosha, they're going to do an investigation.
Like you said, there's some people on the right that are like, well, you know, he reached into his car, et cetera, et cetera.
People on the left saying whatever, whatever, right?
No matter what answer No matter what answer that the police department puts out...
No one's gonna care, you know?
People are gonna try and burn down the city and do whatever the hell they want, primarily because it's like, oh well, the police killed him, they allowed it to happen, and now they're saying it's all good?
They're gonna burn the city down.
tim pool
Right.
billy prempeh
Right?
So, this is the reason why I believe there needs to be a third party.
A third party that's completely unbiased, that has nothing to do, and has no allegiance, and could care less whether you're in the right or wrong.
They just need to get to the bottom of it.
Right?
I believe that's the only logical solution to this, because Until we can come up with something, or if there ever will be, and I highly doubt there will be, a solution where it's a community-based police force, where it's just as organized as the police forces we have today, this is what we have.
And when we have a system like this in place, the police are left with three options.
If there's a scumbag police officer on the force, you got three options.
Either stop what you're doing and do the right thing, you quit, or eventually you get caught.
And when you get caught, you're going to prison.
Those are the only three options.
This isn't going to hurt the unions at the end of the day.
You want to protect your guys.
I get that.
It's in your best interest to have the best police officers on the force, period.
Right?
So if you guys want to protect them, but the more you have better police officers on your force that are better trained, that are routinely getting trained, there's no excuses for them to go out there and do nonsense like this.
tim pool
Everything you're saying is the opposite of defund the police.
billy prempeh
Well, yeah, of course, because it's like defunding, it's not going to work.
It's not going to work.
tim pool
More training, more resources.
billy prempeh
So, of course, it's going to require, because I'm a big advocate of increasing the funding for police.
People say, whoa, how do you expect them to get this training?
tim pool
Trump's saying the same thing.
billy prempeh
Right.
How do you expect to hold them accountable?
You know?
Because, like, when you start wearing thin their resources, like, I had a conversation with my friend the other night, and he was saying, like, you know, if something like this happened in Patterson, man, like, what would happen?
If there was a riot, what are we gonna do?
And I'm like, in all honesty, man, Patterson, I believe they have about two or three of these armored vehicles, right, for these raids, for, you know, drug dealers, whatever the case may be.
They probably got about three or four of them.
They don't have the power to do a massive full-scale operation, just go and crack down on everybody overnight.
This is just my opinion, what I believe.
And even if something like that were to happen, they'd be stretched really thin for resources.
If a riot ever took place in Patterson, they'd have to call in the National Guard.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Right?
billy prempeh
They'd have to.
So what a lot of people need to understand is that the police, they're humans just like us.
You know?
They don't have... They're not as powerful as we really think they are.
And the more we try and chip at them and try and decrease their funds and try and make life difficult for them, you're making life difficult for everybody across the board.
tim pool
I hear you.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
So it's really interesting.
You mentioned, well, the reason I brought up the increasing the funding, because Trump just came out with his second term agenda, of which is, you know, I'm pretty sure it's an item for like increasing resources for police, increasing the penalties.
billy prempeh
Correct.
tim pool
And you're saying something similar.
And I noticed because you've you've had your agenda for yours on your website for a long time.
billy prempeh
For a while.
Since about since about March.
tim pool
And it lines up a lot of it with a lot of what Trump just put out.
billy prempeh
Which I'm very happy about.
tim pool
It's kind of crazy.
You know, it feels to me like, it almost feels like somebody's listening to me.
Because I remember very early on with the COVID stuff, I was like, I'm for student debt forgiveness in a certain way.
I don't think you can just snap your fingers like Warren wants and give everybody 50 grand.
That's the most ridiculous thing that works.
billy prempeh
Doesn't work, yeah.
tim pool
But I was like, what if we freeze interest rates For student loan debt, so that they gotta pay back all of the money they got, but they're not gonna be trapped underwater forever.
billy prempeh
I agree.
I think that makes perfect sense.
tim pool
Trump froze federal interest rates on student loans for COVID measures, and I was like, this guy!
I was like, I'm saying, I'm saying.
And then a lot of the things that come out in his second-term agenda, like increasing funding for police to better train and equip, and I'm like, Yeah, that's actually one of the solutions I've proposed.
And so some people are saying that Trump's new, his second-term agenda is like a landslide-worthy agenda.
There's a lot of things.
So I actually have it.
I want to pull it up.
billy prempeh
Yeah, pull it up, please.
tim pool
And then I want to compare it to yours, actually.
So you're NJ9, North Jersey, and you're in Patterson.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
And I also want to tie it into the fact that you are in the mail fraud city.
Oh, yeah.
For those that don't know, they canceled your entire election.
billy prempeh
Uh, yeah, the council elections.
The council elections, yeah.
tim pool
Now you gotta do it all over.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
That's dirty, man.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
That's really dirty.
And you know, because it's still vote by mail, I still think that there's gonna be fraud.
And here's a funny thing.
Alex Mendez, who was running in the third ward, you can't go anywhere in Patterson without seeing that guy's face.
Like, he's everywhere.
He's like Pascrell.
He's all over the place.
And, you know, the Hispanic community really supported the guy.
I could care less for the guy, but I was like, okay, if the community wants the guy, they want the guy, right?
I'm not gonna go against what the people want.
In my opinion, he would have won without the fraud.
tim pool
Do you think he did commit fraud?
Because he said not guilty, right?
billy prempeh
I believe he... This is just my personal opinion, and I could be wrong.
I believe he committed the fraud.
Wow.
Oh yeah, I believe he committed the fraud.
tim pool
He's a Democrat?
Or is he... Yeah.
He's a Democrat?
billy prempeh
He's a Democrat, yeah.
They're all Democrats that are running.
Because I was looking up the information on it, and a lot of the sites didn't list their party affiliation, and I figured maybe city council, they don't... Yeah, it's not partisan with council races.
You run, you're just a person in the city.
tim pool
But they are, like, they vote Democrat.
billy prempeh
They do vote Democrat though, yes.
tim pool
We'll talk about this.
I want to take a quick look at Trump's agenda list.
So we've got create 10 million jobs, a million new small businesses, cut taxes to boost take-home pay, enact fair trade deals to protect American jobs, made in America tax credits, expand opportunity zones, continue deregulatory agenda for energy independence.
You know, I don't want to go through all this.
It'll be a bit tedious.
So let's actually look at yours.
So this is Billy Prempeh's list, and you've got immigration reform, pro-life, I think it's fair to say, protecting rights of the unborn, secure the border, rebuild our infrastructure in inner cities, fight against human trafficking, Second Amendment rights, jobs, taxes, regulations, school choice, decriminalize use of marijuana, term limits for Congress!
Support homeless veterans?
That term limit's one.
billy prempeh
All day.
tim pool
So pick one.
Tell me about, because there's an overlap here, obviously.
Like I said earlier, I thought it was interesting because you've had your positions listed for a long time.
I wonder what it is that has kind of created the space where you've got a bunch of ideas, you live in a city, and did Donald Trump see that?
Does he recognize you and other people like you who are supporting him, saying these are the issues that matter most?
billy prempeh
Possibly.
I mean, I'm pretty sure Donald Trump knows who I am to some extent.
He already retweeted me on his Twitter, Instagram, and all kinds of stuff.
Some viral video I did at his Trump rally.
But I just think that these are common sense things.
These are things that we just need to deal with.
And until we actually address them and fix them, there's nothing we could really do to move our country forward.
So like term limits, for example.
One of the main reasons why I believe in term limits is Bill Pascrell.
I mean, Bill Pascrell is one of the main reasons why I believe in the term limits.
unidentified
That makes sense.
billy prempeh
Because, you know, as a child, people would always make these jokes, right?
As a kid.
People would call me, you know, Little Pascrell, right?
Bill Prempeh, Bill Pascrell, right?
They would call you Little... They'd call me Little Pascrell.
Or, hey, Pascrell.
Yo, Pascrell, you know, like it was just because people couldn't pronounce Prempeh, right?
Everyone saw Pascrell.
Nobody, nobody seen Bill Pascrell's face growing up.
You know, I was probably like maybe 19 when I finally seen what Pascrell looked like.
tim pool
So for those who don't know, because I don't know this guy is he's the he's the incumbent.
So he's How many terms?
billy prempeh
He's been there 23 years.
unidentified
23 years.
tim pool
Look at this.
billy prempeh
23 years in Congress.
tim pool
Ballotpedia lists his net worth as 2.9 million.
billy prempeh
It's higher than that.
tim pool
Higher than that.
billy prempeh
Way higher than that.
It's like 5.7 million.
And that's based on 2018's numbers.
tim pool
So I looked up yours.
They don't put your net worth in your list.
billy prempeh
I'm a regular guy.
tim pool
Not a millionaire.
billy prempeh
Not at all.
tim pool
Running for office.
billy prempeh
I wish.
tim pool
So yeah, anyway.
Term limits.
I like this.
I like where you're going.
unidentified
Term limits.
billy prempeh
So turbulence, the reason why I say, uh, is Bill Pascrell, he's been here 23 years.
23 years he's been in Congress.
Now, just to give you a little bit of backstory, prior to running for Congress, he was mayor of Patterson, right?
unidentified
Really?
billy prempeh
Yeah, so literally my entire existence, Pascrell's been in control of Patterson.
So he was mayor of Patterson, uh, from the, I believe it was 1990 until 1997.
From 1997 until 2013, he was in charge of the 8th Congressional District.
I believe he was gonna lose that race.
They redistricted, did the gerrymandering.
Controlled Patterson and Passaic, which were highly Democrat areas, and now he's in control of the 9th district from 2013 up until now.
My entire life, I haven't seen a single thing that Bill Pascrell has done positive for the city.
The only thing that I can really say that he's done is he's renovated the Great Falls area and made it into a national park.
It's very beautiful.
Did a rally there last night, by the way.
That's probably the one thing.
That and he built a police, a fire department in the city that he just egotistically named after himself.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
Is that about it?
billy prempeh
That's about it, bro.
I swear it down.
tim pool
I'm from Chicago, man.
It sounds about every politician I've done from Chicago.
billy prempeh
Exactly.
You go on his website, right?
I tell people, every time I talk to people, I say, listen, go to his website.
Go to his congressional website.
Look up some of his policies, the things that he signed.
What does he sign that's actually significant for the people of Patterson?
What has he done that's actually going to benefit us?
Because I don't see anything.
I don't hear anything.
He's talking about, oh, these are all the things that I want to do.
And it's all fluff.
It's all just rhetoric.
tim pool
He wants Trump's tax returns.
billy prempeh
Oh, yeah.
That's a policy that's going to benefit the people in the hood.
The people in the hood, I can assure you, they don't care about Trump's tax returns.
They're like, yo, my cousin got shot.
One of my cousins got shot about four or five years ago.
He got killed, my cousin Nelly, in our city.
No word on that.
4th of July, I believe it was.
4th of July.
We had about 30 shootings in the city of Paterson.
12 people got killed.
Just on 4th of July.
That just passed.
unidentified
Holy cow.
billy prempeh
Said nothing at all about it.
Had nothing to say about what happened in Paterson.
Had nothing to say about the voter fraud.
Donald Trump starts talking about the voter fraud in Paterson, New Jersey.
He responds to him on Twitter and on Facebook saying, hey, you worry about the COVID crisis.
Stop worrying about what's going on in Paterson.
You let us handle our job.
You handle our job.
And everybody on his social media is like, Pascal!
What are you doing about it?
You're not saying anything about it.
You're talking about Trump over here.
You're not doing anything about it.
He just sits there and he's been there 23 years kind of just waffling and fluffing.
The only time, and I wouldn't even say you see him, the only time you hear about him is around election time.
You'll see his stickers, his bumper stickers on literally everything.
It's like pastoral mania.
Signs all over the place and that's it.
Or he'll show up for a photo op at the Great Falls or shake the hand of some person and then he just poofs like a ninja.
tim pool
That's politics, man.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
That's what makes it so challenging, it's a popularity contest.
Exactly.
Look, you know, you want support?
You make someone feel good.
You can make them feel good in a bunch of different ways.
You show up and shake their hand, put a smile on your face, hand them a $100 bill, they'll feel real good.
billy prempeh
Oh yeah.
tim pool
I'm not saying buy their votes, I'm saying there's a lot of ways to make someone smile and think positively about you, and then they vote for you.
Whether or not you're actually going to do anything to help them or not.
So we end up with all these politicians.
This is what I'm tired of.
I've never cared for Republicans.
I've never cared for Democrats.
That's why I didn't vote in 2016.
I didn't vote in 2012.
Because I'm just like, the whole thing is busted.
What's the point?
I'm going to throw my hat into a sea of hats and they're going to do whatever they want anyway.
Now things are different, especially with the riots and all that.
But outside, so I was straight upset earlier today.
I'm voting for Trump.
And it's not, you know, it's a lot to do with the weird social justice far left.
It's like this weird racist thing that's been encroaching in all of the Democratic Party and stuff like that.
But the reason I bring this up is that Trump's not a Republican like the rest of these guys.
Right.
I look at most of these Republicans the same way I look at the Democrats.
They've been sitting there forever twiddling their thumbs.
Now a bunch of the Republicans are retiring, I guess because they don't like Trump.
They don't like the party.
And actually a whole bunch of them now are signing a pledge to support Biden.
And I'm like, oh yeah, because it's all the establishment crony BS.
So I love term limits.
Some people have argued against it, saying, what about Ron Paul?
How many terms did he serve?
He was like 11 or something, right?
billy prempeh
He served a lot of those.
tim pool
There are a handful of politicians who actually are good, and you'd lose them, too.
My opinion?
I don't know.
If it gets rid of Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, whatever.
I don't care for the Republicans.
Lindsey Graham can get out of there.
billy prempeh
That's the way I see it, too.
In order for term limits to completely, fully work as well, too, it's also going to require a cultural shift.
You know, a lot of people have like a set it and forget it kind of approach towards politics.
We elected that guy and then forget about it.
Hopefully something happens and fingers crossed, right?
With term limits, you have to be a little bit more proactive, right?
This guy's only got eight years.
Well, and my term limit plan is like no politician should be able to do more than eight years throughout their lifetime.
It doesn't have to be consecutive.
tim pool
Any office.
billy prempeh
Any office.
Well, no, so I'm saying if you're running for Congress, right, you can't do more than eight years in your lifetime.
tim pool
And then you'll run for Senate.
billy prempeh
If you wanted to, that's on you, you know what I mean, if you choose to do that, but it's not common that they do do that.
But if you're running for Congress, let's say you do two years now, you stop, eight years later you do another two years, whatever, I think that's fine, but you can't do it consecutively.
Because I believe that the longer that congressmen sit in position and they stick around in government, now they're hanging out with lobbyists, now they're hanging out with special interest groups, and now they're starting to fandangle and do all this stuff, they neglect their districts and they sit around and they act entitled.
Like Bill Pascrell.
You go anywhere and you see this guy in the restaurants or in Patsy's and Patterson or any of these places, he sits down like he's a mafioso.
You try and come up to him.
You try and talk to him.
He acts like he doesn't know anybody.
He doesn't want to talk to you.
You know me, I've got my phone number on my website.
I'll talk to literally anybody who calls me on the phone.
I get some wacky phone calls.
One day... Funny story, I'll just put it aside.
One day, some guy calls me from Alabama.
Right?
He's like, is this Billy Brambley?
I'm like, yeah.
I'm like, I like you, man.
And I'm like, I'm like, cool, who's this?
He was like, you know, I was looking at, he didn't even answer my question.
You know, I like your policies.
I like what you stand for.
I didn't believe you when you say you're from Patterson and you stand for all these things.
I support you, brother.
I'm going to donate to your campaign.
He sent me 500 bucks.
I don't even know this guy.
Wow.
But, um, you know, I leave my, I leave my phone number up there.
I'm open to anybody because I believe if you're going to, if you're running for Congress, you need to be accessible.
You contact any of Bill Pascrell's four offices, or you send emails to the guy, you're going to get an automated response, or someone's going to pick up the phone and say, oh, we'll set up an appointment, we'll set up a meeting, and he'll kind of just duck and dodge and never actually get the question answered.
tim pool
Well, I'll tell you my opinion.
Look, I pulled up his website and I feel like, to be fair, he's got an extensive list of issues.
billy prempeh
Right, but read them.
They're pork.
tim pool
It's pork.
billy prempeh
Read them.
unidentified
I'm interested in equality.
tim pool
So, just inequality.
Why don't you give me your thoughts on it?
billy prempeh
Alright, so justice and equality.
I ask a lot of people.
I say, go to his website.
There's a little advertisement.
I guess it's not here anymore because I was really cracking on this guy.
He had this video where he was talking.
It was like a re-election video.
Bill Pascrell, he's a fierce opponent of Donald Trump.
Bill Pascrell supports the Green New Deal.
I personally don't think he understands.
tim pool
He really supports the Green New Deal?
billy prempeh
He supports the Green New Deal.
Oh yeah.
unidentified
Wow.
tim pool
But the video's gone.
billy prempeh
He took it and got rid of it.
Maybe if you go to his front page, it's probably still there.
It was on the front page.
unidentified
This one?
billy prempeh
Scroll down.
tim pool
Meet Bill.
billy prempeh
He took it down.
What a chump.
Hang on.
No, it's got to be here.
tim pool
Wait, I want to see.
He supports the Green New Deal?
billy prempeh
Yeah, so he supports.
Oh, there you go.
Boom.
Green New Deal encompasses two major aspects of Bill's mission in Washington.
Wow.
tim pool
That's insane.
billy prempeh
Yeah, so he's a proponent.
And me personally, I think he doesn't even understand the Green New Deal.
Definitely not.
The only time he started talking about it was when the squad started going out talking about it.
Like, oh, you know what?
Let me go and hang out with them.
You know, I believe that he's just saying this to bandwagon.
And then the third thing that he said in the video was like, you should support Bill Pascrell because Black Lives Matter.
unidentified
Bill, I lived under you for 23 years, bro.
billy prempeh
Right?
I know a lot of black people that died in your district.
You did absolutely nothing.
I never seen you make a statement.
I never seen you reach out to the police to try and start operations, to try and crack down on any of this nonsense.
I haven't seen you do any of this stuff.
You're talking about Black Lives Matter because it's the cool thing to talk about right now in the Democrat Party.
You don't care about this stuff.
If you cared about Black Lives Matter, he would have even showed up for... Actually, no, he did show up.
He's telling everybody to stay inside their house, right?
I'm sorry I'm on a tangent, but like, I can't stand this guy.
I just have to rip him sometimes.
This guy is telling us, you know, keep our businesses closed, nobody should be able to reopen, COVID's gonna kill us all, right?
Yet, he is marching side by side, you're like, no six feet of separation, with tons of people, Black Lives Matter guys, walking up Broadway in Patterson, New Jersey.
tim pool
I gotta stop you right there, Billy.
See, I disagree.
I think he's right.
Black lives matter.
billy prempeh
Of course they do!
tim pool
Which is why I would prefer you as an actual black person to represent that issue.
billy prempeh
I like that answer.
tim pool
Listen, he wants the virtue signal, I'm gonna be like, okay, well then why wouldn't I support the actual black guy from Patterson?
billy prempeh
You know what?
I like that angle!
I really like that angle.
tim pool
Wouldn't you know better?
He's a rich white guy.
If he wants to play that game, then I'm glad to play it with him.
That's why I can't stand they try and do this stupid...
Look dude, I don't care about your race, I don't care about your gender, your religion, whatever.
I care about whether or not you're actually doing things.
But if you want to pander to me, you want to play this game, let's play the game.
billy prempeh
I think you're totally spot on with that, man.
I like that.
I think I'm gonna have to attack him with that.
tim pool
Yeah, but are you gonna march around saying Black Lives Matter now?
billy prempeh
No, no, no, no.
I'd rather go out and speak with the community and try and get something done.
And another thing that really pissed me off is...
There's another video I've got on my Instagram.
I did it with another doctor, Dr. Castillo.
And Dr. Castillo is actually the guy who got me into Congress.
We'll talk about that later.
Who convinced me to run for Congress, actually.
We'll get to that later.
Dr. Castillo, he's been a Patterson native for many, many years.
He's been a doctor in Patterson, I should say, for over 30 years.
He works in internal medicine.
One day at the beginning of the race, he just disappeared for like maybe two, three weeks.
I didn't hear from him, didn't know what the heck was going on.
And one day, he just shows up at the campaign office.
He's like, hey, Benny, what's up?
How's it going?
He's like, oh, I'm doing good.
And he's like, yo, bro, I almost died.
I'm like, whoa, what happened?
And he's like, oh, I got COVID.
I almost died.
unidentified
Wow.
billy prempeh
And I was like, really?
And he was like, yo, bro, Trump saved my life.
And I'm like, how?
How do you save your life?
And he was like, yo bro, you ain't hear about the hydroxychloroquine?
He self-prescribed himself the hydroxychloroquine.
He was fine within two days.
And then everyone who came into his office that was getting sick, he started prescribing the azithromycin and the hydroxychloroquine.
They all were fine.
tim pool
Did he get in trouble for it?
billy prempeh
I don't know.
I never asked him that question if he got in trouble for it.
But even two of my friends who had the sickness and, you know, they didn't know what the hell to do.
I had them speak with him.
They ended up taking the hydroxychloroquine.
They were totally fine within two days.
tim pool
This is crazy.
This whole thing to me is the craziest thing.
Now, first thing I absolutely have to say, because this is how they get you.
So there are studies suggesting it's, for one thing, absolutely not a cure.
billy prempeh
Right, right.
But that's fine.
No one's saying it is.
tim pool
That's how they're getting people.
billy prempeh
Right, right.
tim pool
Remember that video of the press conference where all those doctors came out?
billy prempeh
Dr. Emanuel and them?
In D.C.?
tim pool
Emanuel, she said cure, and that's how they nuked the video.
billy prempeh
Absolutely.
tim pool
It's crazy to me, it's like, dude, it was a slip of the word.
Okay, but it's not.
However, it does help according to Harvey Risch, MD, PhD of Yale.
billy prempeh
Correct.
tim pool
It does help if prescribed early.
billy prempeh
Early, yep.
tim pool
Yeah.
And so there's a bunch of studies that have come out saying, there are studies saying it's ineffective.
Some of these studies that actually came out were big and got carried by the media, got retracted.
But this is one of those things where you've got to be really careful.
They set up, on social media and in the media, this very circuitous path where you have to say very specific things, otherwise they'll just come and try and nuke your channel.
billy prempeh
Right.
See now, Bill Pascrell did something that really upset me.
Because, you know, I had friends that were sick, took the hydroxychloroquine and were fine.
Same with the doctor.
The way that I look at the way I look at this whole COVID situation is if you're listening to what a politician says in regards to sickness you're you're looking in the wrong direction all right.
This is a doctor who's been doing this for well over 30 years you know he's been doing this for over 30 years he self-prescribed himself me and him we made a video together basically going after Bill Pascrell because him and Senator Menendez they wrote a letter to the FDA stating that oh we should retract the uh the the fast tracking of the hydroxychloroquine Because it's not proven, we should wait for a vaccine.
And I'm like, well, we haven't even seen if the vaccine is proven.
And even if the vaccine is proven, that's months and months away.
So you're telling me people should die?
Until then, we don't have a solution for that, right?
And, you know, even though it's all anecdotal evidence at this point, it's showing some kind of promise.
So what this really demonstrates to me is you, who are not a doctor, are telling people that they shouldn't try anything to make their lives better, but they should wait because you are the politician.
Exactly.
You don't do this.
tim pool
So here's the one thing I just say to everybody.
Here's the answer to all these censorious people.
Just talk to your own doctor.
Don't take advice from me.
Don't take advice from Billy.
billy prempeh
Correct.
Talk to your doctor, not a politician.
Not a politician.
Talk to your doctor.
tim pool
And I'll say this.
It's true for Trump too.
Yeah.
If Trump says it, OK, ask your doctor.
If Menendez says no, well, ask your doctor.
And the big problem I have right now is what you just explained, where it's like Trump comes out and says, this is great.
Then you get these doctors that come out and say it's great.
And they say, no, shut it down.
But then you get these politicians coming out and saying, you know, the vaccine, that'll be great.
Well, we don't know that either.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
You're not a doctor.
So why am I going to listen to a politician?
I don't care if it's Menendez or Trump.
I get it.
I hear the debate.
I'm going to talk to a doctor.
I'm going to talk to my doctor who knows what's best for me.
billy prempeh
See, what scares me about that is if they're saying hydroxychloroquine is bad and they're putting all their faith in a vaccine, it's like, what special interest do they have on the back end here?
Because I'm like, what makes you so certain that the vaccine is absolutely going to cure it and we should wait for that?
tim pool
You know, I'm and that will there's already been reports that it's it's it's the fast
tracking is going to be very, very difficult.
And it's going to take a really, really long time.
Of course, I'll tell you this, though, I'm honestly less concerned about that.
We make vaccines for things all the time.
Right.
So if they make a vaccine for it's like, by all means, I'm totally fine with it.
I got to be honest, I'd probably wait a little bit, go get one, depending.
The bigger issue is that we weren't supposed to be shut down like this anyway.
billy prempeh
Absolutely.
tim pool
It was supposed to be 15 days to slow the spread, and it turned into we're
permanently closed until the vaccine's ready.
billy prempeh
Yep.
tim pool
So it's it's the bigger problem, in my opinion, is that the economy is being destroyed.
It's going to wreak havoc on the poor communities.
And we're not allowed to talk about it.
Right.
We're on the line right now.
We're walking the razor's edge even talking about this stuff.
billy prempeh
It's true, it's true.
tim pool
I wouldn't be surprised if the stream just turned off.
I'm serious, I'm serious though.
I mean, you see what happened with that video.
Breitbart just filmed a bunch of people talking about their opinions, and they referenced specifically Harvey Risch, MD, PhD from Yale, and they got nuked.
billy prempeh
That's crazy.
They don't even want to hear the facts, and that's what really scares me, because for the people that are watching, I tell them this.
If there's more than one place to get your information, right?
And the internet is telling you... In fact, perfect example.
Saw a Kamala Harris meme not too long ago, right?
And we were saying like, oh, what was it?
It was like, oh, the Democrat Party wants you to vote for a half Indian, Jamaican woman whose grandfather was a former slave owner or whatever, right?
It was something like that, right?
Which is, from what I've read so far, true.
The fact check said is like, oh, Kamala Harris' grandfather owning slaves is not a dark part of her history.
Did you see that one?
And I'm like, what are you talking about?
So is it a lie or is it true?
What are you talking about right now?
tim pool
That's the game, dude.
What they do is, they add an additional bit of context to make it false.
billy prempeh
Right, right.
And it's like, I tell a lot of people, I'm like, listen man, Whether something is true or not, right?
If the government or social media are going out of their way to try and censor it, then you gotta start looking deeper.
You know?
Because if somebody has to tell you, like, oh no, that's not true.
In fact, don't even do your research.
We did the fact checking.
Just trust us.
Like when Cuomo came out and was like, oh, don't read the WikiLeaks emails.
We read it.
If you read it, it's illegal.
unidentified
No!
tim pool
Exactly.
billy prempeh
I'm like, I can't.
Now I want to read it.
Now I want to find out.
tim pool
This is the problem.
They complain a lot about... The media is just so awful, dude.
I seriously rag on the media probably like 5,000 times a day because it's all lies.
Obviously, not all of it, but too much of it.
Too much of it is fake news.
You see the thing where Trump tweeted about the DNC removing undergod?
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
So what did Trump say?
Trump said, the Democrats removed UnderGod from the pledge.
I couldn't believe it when I saw it, something like that.
Every fact check comes out saying, mostly false, mostly false.
And then it says, what's true?
The Democrats did omit UnderGod from two caucus meetings.
Wait, what?
billy prempeh
What are you talking about then?
tim pool
And they said, the DNC didn't have a formal policy to remove.
billy prempeh
That's what it said, yes.
tim pool
Trump didn't say they did.
Right.
And so now what happens is, Twitter runs a trend, you know, saying like, PolitiFact and Snopes confirm Democrats did not remove UnderGod.
And I'm like, they literally, I watched the video.
billy prempeh
Right.
You can watch a video of it.
It's happening in front of my face right now.
tim pool
That's crazy, man.
You know, are you familiar with the Galman amnesia effect?
billy prempeh
Galman?
No, I'm not.
tim pool
So it's, uh, the name is actually fake.
Some dude made it up and thought he could make it sound, like, official.
billy prempeh
Like science-y?
tim pool
Yeah, by putting Galman, like, Gal-man.
It's basically, You'll read a news story about yourself, maybe, right?
So you're running for Congress, and you'll read a story, and it'll say, you know, Billy Prempeh was throwing bananas at people on the street, or like, you know, throwing cheeseburgers in the air.
And you're gonna be like, that never happened, I never did that.
And you know it's not true.
And then you turn the page, and it's a story saying, you know, Bill Priskel, or whatever his name is, was, you know, juggling billiard balls, and you go, wow, I can't believe he was doing that.
And so the function of it is when you read a story in which you're the expert, you're like, oh, I know that's not real.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
But then you assume the next story is real.
billy prempeh
Ah, I see what you're saying.
tim pool
So we see Donald Trump says something and it says that, you know, Donald Trump comes out, says, under God was removed.
We know that's not true because we saw the video.
But then the next day we read, you know, another story from PolitiFact and we assume it's true.
Yeah.
So, fake news.
billy prempeh
Fake news 101, ladies and gentlemen.
tim pool
Fake news 101.
It's everything.
It's everything that you end up seeing.
And then, you had a video on Instagram.
You want to get into the vice one?
billy prempeh
Oh yeah, so you guys can go check that out if you ever want to.
Some guy named Bill on Instagram.
But in the video, Vice News gives me a call and they want to do a story on QAnon because I was at a reopened New Jersey rally about two or three months ago.
I gave a little speech on stage or whatever and I took a picture with some people who were there.
They were very big supporters.
They had a Q flag that they put up.
Oh yeah, QAnon.
I pose in the picture, right?
I take the picture because I'm like, look, we're all on the same page.
We all support the president.
This is all what it is.
I didn't think anything of the Q flag when I put it up.
So, to this day, I'm getting emails like, hey, you want to tell us a little bit about your support for QAnon?
We're doing this story about QAnon.
We want to write about it.
So, I'm getting into this thing now where whenever the media contacts me, I'm recording what they're saying just to kind of make them look stupid because they don't know what they're talking about.
So, when you see the video on Instagram, Vice calls me.
They don't know anything about me.
They don't know anything about my campaign or my candidacy other than the fact that, oh, we know you won the Republican primary, but we know you also support Q. And I'm like, well, where do you see that I support Q?
When did I ever say that I support Q or anything like that?
And I kind of start questioning this lady to get to the bottom of what she's talking about.
She couldn't even answer the question.
She didn't know what the hell she was talking about.
tim pool
Well, we saw a photo on Facebook Oh!
unidentified
also that support but what what what a lot about this was that you just
tim pool
basically asked do you know anything about my campaign
and the answer was no they don't know what your policies are
they don't know that they probably i'll tell you this having worked for many companies i'm willing to bet
that somebody walked up to her and said here's a list of you know
conspiracy theorists call me about that
yet and so there there's a point is video like ten minutes long where
you're grilling this this reporter from ice
full disclosure i i wish to work for vice actually actually uh... was a founding member of vice news
when it was good and vice news
billy prempeh
it was vice news i called you right supplies as vice vice news is there a dozen advice news
tonight on h p o something like that
tim pool
i i i i love this video because you're like tell me anyone of my policies basically
she can't do it and that that says so much
yeah like you you pointed out specifically This is what the news does.
Instead of trying to figure out what you're doing to better your community, which includes police reform, which includes, you know, immigration, you gotta attack term limits and all that stuff.
They just want the juicy BS.
billy prempeh
That's it.
Anything to make a sensational headline.
You know, anything that's gonna get people to click the article.
Oh look, Republican?
He's crazy?
He supports nut job stuff?
Let's write about it.
Let's click that.
You know, and I think that's a shame because they're overlooking a lot of the things that I actually want to do in my district.
A lot of the things that I want to change.
And not just New Jersey as a whole, but across the country.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people can benefit from the things that I want to do.
And they don't even want to talk about that.
There's another video.
I haven't uploaded it yet.
This was before the vice call.
This was with Washington Post.
Jeff Bezos.
Organization.
Same thing.
It's not as funny as the Vice one, though, because the Vice one, I was like, okay, I'm gonna have fun with them this time, because the first time they called me and I was like, the audacity!
Like, you would ask me such a stupid question.
Like, I didn't say that to them, and I'm just like, I kind of grilled them in that way.
The second time when Vice called me, I was like, okay, let me have fun with them.
This is gonna be hilarious.
I want to see if they even know.
I was like, let me be a little bit more tactical.
And, um...
I think I'm going to do that moving forward every single time.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, call him out.
It reminds me of Jordan Peterson.
He was at an event and someone pulled out the Keck flag.
Yeah, the Keck flag.
billy prempeh
The frog thing, yeah.
tim pool
And then all of a sudden he's being told he has to answer for this flag and he's like, what flag?
And they're like, somebody held up a flag and took a picture with you.
He's like, I take a picture with a ton of people.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
Yeah, I was having a conversation with somebody, because a lot of people, I guess it's become a rumor, because I don't take pictures with people.
They were like, somebody asked me, is it true that you don't take pictures with fans?
And I was like, I don't.
billy prempeh
For reasons like this, so I would understand that.
tim pool
Well, it's because people try to set you up.
People who are not your fans.
billy prempeh
Like gotcha moments?
tim pool
I was in Washington.
And there was a guy sitting down, and he had a little mustache or whatever, and there was a riot going on or whatever, and I was talking to some leftist guy about something, when this guy walks over and he goes, hey, you're Tim Pool, right?
And I was like, yeah, and he goes, hey, I'm a big fan, and I was like, hey, appreciate it, shook his hand, and then he says he's a Nazi.
And I'm sitting there surrounded by Antifa and this guy, and I'm like, dude, are you kidding me?
Don't come up to me and bring that stuff to me.
I was like, I'm not cool with what you're doing, with what you believe.
And he was like, that's fine.
And I was like, dude, so I'm surprised.
billy prempeh
I would've kicked him in the mouth.
tim pool
That's what I'm saying.
billy prempeh
I'm a politician now, I can't do that.
tim pool
Right, right, right.
So when Jordan Peterson walks up and someone's like, I got a picture with you, and they pull out the flag, that was innocent.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
That was someone, like in your instance, some guy was like, hey, let's get a photo of Billy, and they pull out a big Q flag.
Now you got all these journalists that don't know anything about you, they see one photo on Facebook, and that's everything.
billy prempeh
That's all they want to know about.
tim pool
They want to get clicks, and they want a boogeyman.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
And because Antifa has been going nuts for months, Q is their boogeyman.
billy prempeh
Exactly.
And even when they say that, it's like, listen, from what I've seen and from what I've researched, there's definitely something going on.
There's definitely a human trafficking pedophilia-type problem going on here, right?
To the extent of what's going on with the whole Q thing, that I don't know about.
I can't really attest to that.
But there's definitely a lot of murky stuff going on with Jeffrey Epstein.
There's definitely a lot of murky stuff going on with a lot of these high-profile people, Prince Andrew and whatnot, who have gone to this island.
tim pool
And this is the crazy thing, because you've got them trying to conflate what's going on with Epstein, which is like, don't we literally have this lady in jail right now?
They're like shuffling her around, worried about her, and she's being charged with trafficking and other things.
So yeah, and there's a picture of Bill Clinton in a blue dress.
billy prempeh
That's what I'm saying.
Regardless of what you believe, whether you support the Q thing or not, there's definitely something going down here that just doesn't add up.
tim pool
And to put it simply, they're literally prosecuting somebody over it.
A guy, you know, it's funny, Trump said, I wish her well, and then the left goes insane.
billy prempeh
He supports Maxwell.
They took a picture back in, like, 99.
tim pool
But then when he gets asked by that dude from HBO, he's like, Her boyfriend died.
He's in jail and he's dead.
We don't know how it happened.
So yeah, I do wish her well.
That's what I thought was going to happen when he said it.
I thought it was kind of weird when Trump said, I wish her well.
billy prempeh
I think he did it to just, like, troll, man.
tim pool
I think he didn't realize.
I think what he was saying was, I hope she doesn't die.
Essentially.
I hope, because we're going to prosecute her.
We need her to talk.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
And I think they tried turning it into, he supports her or whatever.
I don't know anything about it, frankly.
I wish her well.
But yeah, so anyway, this is what happens with the media, and it's one of the reasons why I've been to a ton of events, and I'm like, I just... I don't like doing events.
They've threatened to burn down events.
I put on an event last year.
Antifa threatened to burn it down.
billy prempeh
Where?
tim pool
Just out here.
Just out here.
We're in South Jersey.
billy prempeh
Really?
tim pool
Yup.
billy prempeh
Wow.
tim pool
They came from Central Jersey, down here, and then told the press they wouldn't let me come to their neighborhood.
And I'm like, yo.
billy prempeh
This is my neighborhood.
tim pool
This is my neighborhood.
What are you talking about?
I booked it a few miles from my house.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
You came down here from up north.
They think they own everything, that they can use violence.
You're familiar with Daryl Davis?
billy prempeh
Daryl Davis?
Nah, I have not met Daryl Davis.
tim pool
He's the famous black blues musician who met a bunch of Klansmen and de-radicalized them.
billy prempeh
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
tim pool
He was our headline speaker.
billy prempeh
Really?
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Because they're just douchebags?
Because it's Antifa, man. That's what they do.
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
So, so, Darryl Davis tried talking to him.
Because that's his thing.
Right.
He like, he goes to the Klan, he's like, Hey, you know, I'm going to talk to a guy in the Klan.
And then he ends up de-radicalizing 200 of these guys.
He walked across the street to Antifa and they called him a white supremacist.
billy prempeh
Madness.
tim pool
Yeah, dude.
It's a crazy political world right now.
But I think one of the big things that's fueling it absolutely is it's all fake news.
billy prempeh
That's why we watch people like you.
tim pool
Well, I guess.
I mean, I guess.
I'm just a dude.
Look, I jokingly say I just complain on the internet.
billy prempeh
But the thing is, and it's the same thing I told you on Twitter, it's like one of the main reasons why I follow and why I really, really, really like your show.
And you're one of the few people that I actually watch on social media is because Despite you having, like, you traditionally have a lot of liberal views, but you call out the nonsense on that side, too.
The same way you'll call out the nonsense on the other side.
It's like, well, this is what news is supposed to be.
A lot of people give their opinions today.
Like, on CNN, it's like Don Lemon for 40 minutes talking about why Trump is, you know, Satan himself.
And you're just calling it the way it is, you know?
The people on the internet that are doing the researches and looking into information and actually asking questions, getting people to be rational and I think Trump is the internet's politician and Biden is the traditional establishment politician.
to it. Unless the mainstream media starts to change their formula, they're gonna go
tim pool
to way to dodo. I kind of realized something. I think Trump is the
Internet's politician and Biden is the is the traditional establishment
politician. That's actually a good point. Because I noticed something. Trump did
the biggest ad buy, like the biggest ad buy ever on digital.
It was like a seven-figure, one-month, you know, buy.
And he bought the most expensive ad possible, the YouTube banner.
And it was this big news story in the New York Times.
And Joe Biden didn't buy this.
So they're doing the DNC digitally, it's on YouTube, and they didn't buy YouTube ad space during their own convention.
billy prempeh
Madness.
tim pool
That doesn't make sense, does it?
Like, okay, listen, if you've got a YouTube channel for your digital convention, don't you want people on YouTube to click it to go watch it?
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
But they didn't buy it.
So Trump did.
However, I saw that, I started thinking, I'm like, wow.
So they're not, they're not trying to win.
They're, they're just, they're, they're phoning it in.
They're, they're planning on losing, right?
Joe Biden spent 200, I believe it was 220 million on TV ads.
And that's when I realized what it is.
billy prempeh
Nobody's watching TV like that anymore.
tim pool
But look, there are a lot of people who do watch TV.
And if you get your news, if you're like one of these regular normie types who aren't paying attention, you get your news from memes and from your friends, word of mouth.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
Which trickles down from CNN, MSNBC, and to an extent Fox News, but not so much.
If you're watching a show like this, you're going online and seeking out.
But there's an easier way to put it.
If you go to YouTube.com and you're searching for immigration, you're not going to get only right wing or only left wing.
It could be both.
when Donald Trump says something like, you know, we're gonna build a wall, you
search for build a wall, you might find anti-wall and pro-wall because the
algorithm on YouTube only knows wall. Right. Unless you say like the wall is
bad, then you only get that stuff. But on TV, if you turn on MSNBC, you're only
getting Orange Man bad. That's it. So these people who are watching TV are in
that world and it's and I think what you know I'm not saying I know this is a
fact or anything it's just an idea I have.
But when I was reading this about the ad buys, and then I was reading about the Beltway bubble.
billy prempeh
Beltway bubble?
tim pool
Yeah, so the D.C.
journalists only follow each other.
billy prempeh
Okay.
tim pool
So when one journalist writes, you know, Donald Trump is losing, their buddy sees it and then writes Donald Trump is losing, and then you get New York Times, Wall Street, you know, not Wall Street Journal, but like New York Times, Washington Post, Vox, BuzzFeed, Trump is losing.
unidentified
Why?
tim pool
Because they're all following each other.
They're not hearing what you're saying, they're not hearing what I'm saying.
billy prempeh
It's like an echo chamber.
tim pool
Exactly.
And that's probably why they didn't see Trump coming in 2016.
So now you take that, combined with the fact that, you know, Biden's buying TV and Trump's buying digital, and I think Trump is the candidate for the internet age.
And it makes sense.
Trump himself posted a Pepe meme.
You know, he posts memes all the time.
billy prempeh
It's funny.
He gets it, man.
tim pool
Yeah.
And then you look at what the Democrats are doing and it's like phoned in.
billy prempeh
It's super cringe, man.
tim pool
Super cringe.
billy prempeh
I don't know man like did you see the and I thought this was fake man but did you see the uh the performance I can't remember the guy's name man but the guy huh what's his name Billy Porter the guy with the dress yep oh my days oh dude I thought that was a meme I was like listen man I'm at my cousin's house his girlfriend's like did you see this madness and I'm like What?
And I'm like, there's no way that's for real.
That looks like an adult swim sketch or something like that, man.
And I'm like, this was on the DNC.
tim pool
It was like their closing major performance.
billy prempeh
It's like if I'm a Democrat and I'm watching that.
I would start questioning, like, what the hell am I supporting?
tim pool
Did you see that meme?
billy prempeh
Which one?
tim pool
It's like, it's a picture of it, and actually, let me see if I can pull it up.
unidentified
The one on your Instagram.
tim pool
Yeah, let me pull up my own Instagram, because it's the last thing I posted, and you're going to love it.
So, it's loading, it's loading, and there we go.
Alright, check it out.
billy prempeh
Oh my god.
unidentified
Read it.
billy prempeh
We're going to lose!
tim pool
Alright, so for those that are listening, it's that guy Billy Porter.
He's fist-pumping and yelling, and the comment on YouTube says, we're going to lose, aren't we?
billy prempeh
Oh my god.
tim pool
It's so perfect.
billy prempeh
I couldn't believe, I was like, this is beyond cringe.
And the thing that blew my mind, I was like, listen, you guys got money, DNC, okay?
This looks like someone made this in their garage, man.
unidentified
You know what I mean?
tim pool
I said it was like a freshman high school talent show.
billy prempeh
Yeah, dude, I'm like, no, no, no, no.
This can't be for real, bro.
This can't be for real.
So what that looks like to me is like, you're talking about all this struggle and the things, the black community, the equality, and I'm like, to me...
To me, it looks like they're making fun of this.
Like, this is a joke.
That's the same thing my cousin said.
I was like, is this a joke?
And they're like, no, this is for real.
And I'm like, this is what they're really putting in front of people?
And they're talking about the struggle of African-Americans and they're the champion for black?
This is a joke.
It's not even a virtue signal.
They're definitely ha-ha-ing in our face with this.
tim pool
You know, man, it's a recurring theme for me to talk about, but I do believe... I know Republicans have been saying it for a long time, so it's kind of funny.
I think I've come to this conclusion in a different path, but I think the Democrats are overt racists.
billy prempeh
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
Oh, yeah.
And I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was to just mock and belittle it and, like, laugh in your face.
billy prempeh
It probably was, because, you know, throughout this entire race, You know, with me saying that, hey, I'm a Republican, I'm running as a Republican, black people don't give me a hard time.
Hispanic people don't give me a hard time.
The people that give me the hardest time are the white liberals.
The guys with the nose piercing and the blue hair to the side, you know.
How can you support these people?
You don't like black people?
You hate your own kind?
How could you support the Republicans?
You know what I mean?
And it's like, these are the people that are constantly coming after me.
It's not the people in my own community.
They're either faced with one of two things.
You know, I don't like the Republican Party.
I don't like what they stand for.
I like you.
And I respect you.
Or, why are you a Republican in the first place?
Now I'm curious.
One of those two things.
It's only these super off-the-wall liberals that give me a hard time.
tim pool
This is what I think is really, really fascinating about, you know, candidates like you, candidates like Kimberly Klasick, and in a sense, this kind of... I don't know, I guess there's like a new Republican, and it's sort of emerging under Trump.
You've got people like me, for instance.
I've been, you know, independent, left-leaning.
I was Democrat.
I voted for Obama the first time.
I've always felt like, when I was growing up, Republicans were bad.
You know what I mean?
Now the Republicans are very different.
And it's like, when I see you, I'm like, I look at your platform, I think I disagree with one or two things for the most part.
But I'm like, you're a cool dude, you're from the city, we get along, we understand a lot of the same memes.
It's like, how is it that you're the new Republican?
You know, it's like, I don't know how to describe it.
It's like the whole thing's changing.
I do think Democrats are freaking out about it.
Because now when you've got, I don't know if it's true, but I'll tell you, Emerson,
Rasmussen, and I can't remember the other polls, Zogby, they show that Trump's got 30%
approval, or at least they did earlier this year, 30% approval among black voters.
And I think that freaks them out.
billy prempeh
And I think realistically, just from the people that I've spoken with, man, I think it might be higher than 30%.
You think so?
tim pool
So you live in a predominantly black area?
billy prempeh
Yeah.
It's practically all black and Hispanic.
tim pool
How many people there support Trump?
billy prempeh
They don't.
That's the thing.
They don't like Trump, okay?
They like what he's doing.
They like what he's doing, all right?
You know, like, listen, man.
You'll be hard-pressed to find somebody and say, oh, he didn't help with the job situation.
Not gonna happen.
You know what I mean?
Practically everybody that I met is like, yo, was it easy to find a job?
No, it was easier to find a job now than it was under Obama.
Still, F Trump.
I don't like Trump, you know?
You know, the COVID thing happened, you know?
Trump gave us the check, you know?
This is cool, you know?
tim pool
Yeah.
billy prempeh
You know, he's funding the historically black colleges.
You know, he did the prison reform.
A lot of my homies are coming home, so... I still don't like him, but... They gonna vote for him?
They may.
They may, honestly.
And if they don't vote for him, they're probably just going to flat out not vote Democrat at all.
You know?
Because you talk to the average black person, man, they know about Biden.
They know about Kamala.
And they're just like, this is definitely a virtue signal.
This isn't for us right now.
tim pool
If Trump came out right now and said, I am going to be reviewing every nonviolent federal drug-related offense.
billy prempeh
It's a landslide, 3 million percent.
tim pool
Pardon?
unidentified
100%.
billy prempeh
Landslide.
It's going to be a landslide, bro.
It's going to be like, what?
Lancelot, dude.
Lancelot.
tim pool
I noticed you got decriminalized marijuana.
billy prempeh
Yeah, because I'm like, yo, bro, there's a lot of people that have their lives, my cousins, for example, have their lives completely destroyed for even having a small bag of weed, you know what I mean?
I'm like, listen, I don't care if you smoke weed or not, whether you like weed or not is besides the point.
The point that I'm saying is like, I don't know a single person, I haven't seen a single study of someone who's died from smoking marijuana.
I know people that smoke marijuana for because they got cataracts, they got, you know, back problems.
I have a friend, he's got a fused disc and all kinds of stuff.
He has to smoke.
Friends that have PTSD from the military that smoke.
You know, and it helps them.
I've seen them all strung out on Percocets and Xanax and all kinds of stuff, and they're fun people to be around when they smoke weed, you know?
They're not, you know, losing their mind and tweaking out.
So I'm saying, why should someone have their entire lives destroyed because of that?
I don't know if these are your fans calling, but people from all across the country keep calling my phone.
unidentified
Oh, you told them your phone number was on the- That's true, that's true, that's probably it.
billy prempeh
But, you know, I started- Tell them to text you.
Yeah, text me.
If you guys want to talk, I'll respond.
unidentified
He's a little busy right now.
billy prempeh
Yeah, I'll respond to your text messages, if that's the case.
But I don't see them saying no to something like that.
Because, for example, Governor Murphy, when he ran, one of the big things he ran on was, oh, we're going to legalize marijuana.
Bro, I knew so many gangsters, bro, that don't care about politics at all.
But they're like, yo, we voting for Murphy.
You know what I mean?
Murphy's about to legalize it.
And I'm like, yo, bro, but he's not the guy.
And they're like, no, he's the guy.
tim pool
He wasn't the guy.
billy prempeh
He's definitely not the guy.
He's definitely not the guy.
tim pool
Dude, Murphy's awful.
I'm leaving.
I'm leaving.
billy prempeh
You're leaving New Jersey?
tim pool
Yeah, I was thinking about this when I saw your page.
You were saying, make New Jersey great again.
And it made me feel kind of bad.
You know, because I'm out.
I'm getting out of here, dude.
I've been here for about six years.
No, no, no.
About five years now.
Been in New Jersey for five years.
And I've been slowly building up my business.
It's doing better than ever.
And I'm sitting here with, like, the lockdowns here.
You know the Adalist Gym guys just down the street?
billy prempeh
Right, right.
I know them.
tim pool
Nah.
Mm-mm.
I don't want to have anything to do with this guy and his edict.
And you got cops that are enforcing the stuff he's asking for.
So I'm—it's not just that.
South Jersey's a peninsula.
We got crazy riots and everything.
I don't want to be in a peninsula.
So it's partly that too.
So I'm going to go inland.
I'm going to go to the middle of nowhere.
billy prempeh
Like North Dakota or something?
tim pool
Nah, not that far.
I'll still be on the East Coast.
I'm just going to move inland about an hour or two or whatever.
Yeah, but then I see your thing, you're like, make New Jersey great again, and I'm like, you're sticking around.
billy prempeh
I mean, you know what's funny about you saying that?
When I was in the military, I was stationed in Texas, and in my opinion, there's no place more American than Texas.
Definitely.
What, bro?
I love Texas, man.
And the funny thing is, is going out there, when I was gonna get stationed in Texas, the first time we go off base, and we're walking around, this is in Wichita Falls, Texas, right?
Me and my friends are going out, we're looking for a, I think it was like a video game store or something we were going to.
We're walking, and where we're going through, we're like in the middle of nowhere, like some podunk cornfield type place, right?
And there's like this guy sitting in this dilapidated house, just chilling there with a bloodhound, like just totally stereotypical, you know what I mean?
tim pool
Was he in a rocking chair with a shotgun?
billy prempeh
You might as well have been, you know?
So it's me, black dude, a Hawaiian guy, and a Samoan guy, right?
And a Hispanic guy.
So a black guy, a Hispanic guy, Samoan, and Hawaiian.
We're walking down this block, all of us brown as can be, you know, walking down the block, and we look at this guy.
This guy's looking at us.
We're like, oh man, we could smell something burning.
So we're like, man, they're probably like, you know, burning a cross or something in the backyard, you know what I mean?
And I'm like, yo, let's just go back to base or whatever, right?
And the guy's like, hey man, y'all from around here, I don't say anything, you know, but the smallest guy, the Samoan guy, is like, yeah, yeah, we're looking for this store or whatever.
He's like, hey, why don't y'all come out back?
You know, we're cooking a pig back here.
And we're like, no, no, no, we're good, we're good, we're good.
He's like, oh, y'all look hot.
Y'all should get some lemonade.
And we're like, no, we're good.
But then my friend's like, oh, no, let's go.
So he starts walking.
And I'm like, oh, my God.
And I'm like, you know, never leaving an airman behind, right?
Follow right behind them.
You know, we go back there.
Some of the sweetest people in the world I've ever met.
tim pool
Yeah.
billy prempeh
These guys, man.
You know, I'm thinking, and I was afraid to come to Texas at first.
I'm like, man, they got a bunch of cowboy hats, shotgun, toting, redneck, racist kind of people.
And no, not at all.
You know, some of the nicest people in the world.
We had a great time, had a couple of drinks and all that.
You know, I experienced more racism here than I did in New Jersey than in Texas.
tim pool
You know what I think?
It feels like it's like the pendulum swung.
And so where you used to have, you know, the racists in the South and everything, it's swung now to where they'll treat you like a normal, regular person.
But now on the left, They've gone so far in the other direction, you've got white progressives that scream in the face of minorities' racial slurs.
billy prempeh
Right.
And they'll think they're doing virtue right now.
tim pool
You see that video of that white woman?
She's holding up the sign screaming at the black female cop.
I haven't seen that.
It's hilarious because she's holding up a sign while she's screaming at a black woman and it's like...
Dude, but the sign on the back is fragile, and I'm like, that is the perfect image of white fragility, this lady.
But this guy's filming and he goes, don't you think it's inappropriate for you as a white woman to be screaming at a black lady about racism?
unidentified
Right.
tim pool
And she's like, no, because I'm the only one who can do it, because I have to do it, and she's part of the system.
They're nuts.
That's crazy.
That's the craziest thing to me.
It feels weird that... What I was trying to get at before about you being a Republican is that... Kanye West was talking about this.
They told him, you better be a Democrat, you better support Democrats, otherwise I'll destroy your career.
They have a stranglehold on minority communities.
Me coming from the South Side...
There's every reason that everyone in my area, everyone I know, should be a Democrat.
Just absolutely oppose the Republicans, not our team.
And now I'm talking to people from my neighborhood, and they're all... They're all wearing MAGA hats?
No.
Secretly voting for Trump.
billy prempeh
Right.
That's what it's like in Paterson too, I would say.
tim pool
So I did, on my main channel today, I said, Trump's second term agenda list.
Is it enough for me?
Like, I'm gonna vote for the guy.
And there's, like, congressional term limits and ending the wars.
I was like, I'll take it, man.
At this point, it's a combination of Trump has improved enough for me.
He did this speech at the RNC where he's like, I'm not gonna say mean words about Hillary because they're gonna get mad at me.
And I was like, I actually really like that he did that.
He's like, I'm not gonna start with an SC.
I'm not gonna say the word.
And I was like, that's an improvement.
That's an improvement.
But then he did try to end the war.
I talk about this all the time because it's big for me.
That's why I'm really impressed with you saying, you know, when it came to Libya, you were questioning this stuff.
Because I think that's one of the biggest problems we have.
Where we're constantly, you know, internally we argue about all these political issues.
But a lot of the stuff we talk about for, you know, oh we need money for this, we'll tax the rich.
I'm like, stop blowing up the people in foreign countries, start these wars and we'll have money left over, we can bring it back here.
billy prempeh
Exactly.
tim pool
So anyway, Trump's improved, but also the Democrats have just gotten worse and worse and worse.
The riots, the insanity, I'm sick and tired of the lies.
It's just, it really is, you know.
I was talking to, I got an email from some dude who said he's in Europe, and when you turn on any European news outlet, the narrative is always far left.
That Trump is evil, he's a dictator, peaceful protests are marching and Trump's is beating him.
And then he's like, but then I go on the internet and I watch what's actually happening and it makes me angry.
So, you know, it's like, I wonder if the pendulum has swung.
You know, you tell the story about a guy who's got roasted a pig in lemonade and you go back and it's the nicest people in the world.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
And these are the people that they accuse of being white supremacists and racist.
billy prempeh
Exactly.
Exactly.
And I'm telling you, man, it's like, I'm not going to lie.
I stereotype the hell out of that guy.
And I'm like, no, this dude's going to chop me up and wear my face, man.
He's going to do like leather face or something, you know?
unidentified
And he gave you a he gave you a slab of mutton in a big old black... Oh, man.
billy prempeh
Good time, these people, bro.
Good time, you know?
And, you know, when I started to see that, you know, I thought about it for a while.
I thought about it and said, you know what?
I'm going to go to Texas, right?
And I honestly believe that if I didn't go to that Trump rally on January 28th, I wouldn't be, for one, I wouldn't be running for Congress, and two, it wouldn't have revitalized my hope that we can still save New Jersey.
tim pool
Wait, so you went to a Trump rally?
billy prempeh
I went to a Trump rally, January 28th.
tim pool
This year?
billy prempeh
This year.
The one that he had in January.
Wildwood?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
billy prempeh
Massive, massive, massive one.
tim pool
Yeah, I really wanted to go.
I didn't make it.
Because it was... I couldn't get in.
billy prempeh
Well, to be fair, we didn't get in either.
tim pool
But going down there, meeting everybody?
billy prempeh
Yeah, so... That's... Funny thing, my friend.
I'll even tell you that story, because that's literally the inception of this whole congressional run anyway, right?
At this point, no intention of running, nothing like that.
But I wanted to be involved in the political scene and see what's going on, right?
So my friend, good friend since like child, my friend Randy, he's like, Hey man, you should, uh, let's, let's go to the Trump rally.
You know, he's coming to New Jersey.
Let's go.
And he's one of those guys who was like a low key Trump supporter.
He doesn't want anybody to know, but like now everybody knows he's like, you know, high key Trump now, but like, so it's like, let's go to the rally.
I'm like, okay, cool.
We try and go, the day comes around and say, Hey, I got to work.
I can't make it.
And I'm like, Oh, nah, man, we gotta go.
At this point, I'm already gung-ho.
I'm like, I already voted for the dude.
He's coming to New Jersey.
There's no way.
And he's like, get in contact with Dr. Castillo.
You know, the doctor right there on Mill Street.
Go over there.
He's going down there with the Hispanic Republican National Assembly.
Go down there with them, right?
So it's the first time I actually meet Dr. Castillo.
I'd seen him on posters, knew all about the guy.
You know, never met him.
So while we're going down there, you know, he's probably thinking like, you know, he's probably just like, you know, regular Democrat dude from the hood who's curious, right?
Whatever.
So we have like a little short, small talk.
We didn't really talk any Trump stuff till we get there.
We get to the, we get to this place, man.
And first off, it's like 27 degrees.
It's brick.
It is freezing out there, man.
You know?
But there's thousands of people, man.
Hundreds of thousands.
And I was blown away, because I was like, what?
In New Jersey?
And mind you, some came from Pennsylvania and probably other places as well, too.
But even still, there had to have been like 120,000 people out there.
unidentified
Wow.
billy prempeh
There was a lot of people, bro.
So we get to the rally.
They had a park, right?
Right outside the convention center, right?
And the entire park was full, from fence to fence, like in this little snake formation kind of thing, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
billy prempeh
By the time you get out of the park, you come down one block, you go up three blocks, you cross the street, and then there's a huge parking lot in the Wildwood Center, and there's a massive snake chain going all the way through the parking lot until you got into the front.
We got there at 11.
By the time we got to the front, I was 100 people away from the front.
It was like 8 o'clock, all right?
At this point, right?
Trump's about to go on.
Doors locked, 100 people and can't get in.
I'm like, okay, great.
You know, it is what it is, right?
Now...
There's a part that I skipped, actually.
The most significant part that happened is I did an interview with a guy named Andrew Dodansky.
He does a lot of these little reports and stuff.
And while I'm doing this report, Dr. Castillo's sitting there next to me the entire time.
And the whole time we're there, I didn't really speak much, right?
So I'm kind of just giving my opinion.
That video's also on my Instagram.
I'm kind of just talking about different things.
Foreign policy, whatever, right?
And then Kaylee McEnany, at the time I had no idea who she was, right?
She wasn't the press secretary.
We're sitting down, we're standing in front of this line waiting for cheesesteaks, and I see Kaylee coming down the side of this little barricade or whatever, right?
She's got the microphone, she's like putting it to crowds, trying to get people to talk.
People are like, oh no, my boss, my boss sees me.
me, you know, I can't talk about this, whatever, right? So she gets to where I'm at and she's
unidentified
Yeah.
billy prempeh
like, oh, well, I guess that's it. I guess we're going to put the, uh, we're going to
put the cameras away. And I'm like, no, no, no, I'll talk.
At first I was just messing with her. Right. Yeah. And it's just her, she got a big
black fur coat and these two massive dudes with, you know, suits on. I just couldn't put
two and two together like that. These guys are secret service. I thought she's just,
you know, you know, journalists with two homeboys like, you know, and, um, she's like, oh,
you really want to talk?
Are you sure?
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, let's talk about it.
I'm like, you're not fake news, though, right?
Ha, ha, ha, no, we're not fake news.
And I'm like, well, what organization are you with?
And she's like, oh, we're just here supporting Trump, just like you.
She didn't tell me your name, didn't tell me anything like that.
She's like, oh, so you want to say something to the president?
So then I said what I said.
You know, that's, you go on Trump's page, you'll find that post that I said.
I said, you know, Trump, good guy, whatever, woo.
I said that, and then right after all that was done, everybody in the crowd was like, man, you said something that was on my mind, but you just worded it in such a way that I never could.
And I was like, oh, OK, that's cool.
Dr. Castillo says, hey, Bill.
So he pulls him to the side, right?
He says, hey, Bill, I think you should run for Congress.
tim pool
And I'm like, what?
billy prempeh
And I'm like, no, he's like, no, no, seriously, I'm running in CD5.
I ran in District 9 before against Pasquarelle.
The only reason why I didn't win is I wasn't able to get the younger vote and I wasn't
able to acquire the African-American vote.
And he was like, you are different.
And he was like, this whole time I'm thinking you're a Democrat.
And he was like, you're super conservative.
And I had no clue.
And he's like, you've got a mind about all these different kinds of things.
I feel like if you polish yourself up and you kind of, you know, put your things in the right way, like you could do really well in politics.
So he said, run.
And I said, well, if you help me, and you kind of guide me through this process, I will.
And he's like, yeah.
He's like, I'm already running in the fifth.
You run in the ninth.
We'll tag team it.
We'll go in.
It'll be great.
And I'm like, all right, doctor, let's do it.
All right, so let's do this race, man.
And we're sitting down and we're watching Trump on the jumbo screen while he's talking.
And I just got like filled with like this, this just like, yes, let's do this kind of feeling, man.
Cause I'm watching this guy and I'm like, yo, all these people came from all across the state and the surrounding areas to come and see this guy in freezing cold weather.
And we're still here.
This guy, zero days in politics.
Isn't a politician.
unidentified
Yeah.
billy prempeh
He's accomplished so many things in under three years.
And I'm like, if he could do it, and if AOC, who's an absolute airhead, can do it.
I mean, she won.
I mean, I'll give her credit for that.
You know, youngest congresswoman ever.
I'll give her credit for that.
unidentified
But like, if she could do it.
billy prempeh
There's nothing stopping me from doing it.
Nothing.
And I'm smarter than her, okay?
I'm not trying to toot my horn.
tim pool
The confidence is good.
billy prempeh
Yeah, I'm smarter than her.
So I'm like, if I can do that, and the president was able to do that, and I know I've got pretty good ideas, I'm gonna seriously take Dr. Castillo up on his offer.
And from then on, the following day, went home, built that website that we're looking at right now, started making the logos on Photoshop, and just started doing the whole thing.
And I just started running.
It started running.
tim pool
It's an uphill battle though, bro.
billy prempeh
It is, you know, but here's the thing, man.
The way I look at it is like, and I personally believe that I'm gonna win.
The reason why I believe this is because nobody knows what this guy's platform is, right?
I've constantly called him out to debate.
Lots of other people have called him out to debate.
Even the Democrats.
tim pool
Won't do it.
billy prempeh
The Democrats even called him out to debate.
The only person he agreed to debate was a guy named Alt Basaran, right?
Alt Basaran Which I think was a horrible campaign move, was on his website, it was like, you know, Congress deserves a former illegal alien in Congress.
And I'm like, that's a horrible slogan, you know, to put.
Because he championed himself on, you know, I'm a Turkish immigrant, came here illegally, and I'm in Congress, and I should be in Congress.
But he was like off the wall socialist, this guy.
Wow.
You know, him and another lady, Xenia Spazakis, off-the-wall socialists.
I challenged both of them to a debate, because I'm like, listen, I'm in the primary with you guys, so I'm a Republican.
You didn't want to talk to me.
I'll say, yeah, I'll maybe debate you.
Pascrell accepted Alt-Basarin's request to debate, and I'm like, of course you're gonna debate the socialists, you know?
Of course you're gonna debate him, and like, you know, you just pull up the immigration thing and it's over, right?
But then he only agreed to do it at a virtual forum.
He didn't want to do it in person, so Alp was like, no, no, no, let's do it in person.
And I'm pretty sure Alp would have really gave it to him.
He would have raised a lot of really good points, because despite all the socialist stuff, he's a very smart guy.
He knows quite a few things.
And he wanted to do it by his rules, so he didn't want to do that.
So I said, OK, of all the people you're going to debate, you're going to debate him.
So I said, all right.
I'm going to debate Bill Pascrell."
And I started going after him.
He didn't want to respond to any of the things, so now I'm kind of trying to give this guy the biggest headache in the world, you know?
I know recently he just had, he had a, I believe it was a stent he had to get put into his heart.
He has a heart problem right now.
He's 83 years old, man.
tim pool
Bill Pascrell.
billy prempeh
He's 83 years old.
He's 83 years old.
He's got some heart issues right now.
And I'm like, man, listen, if you want to run in politics, this is a hard game.
And it's like, I'm serious about what I want to do.
I'm not going to let you just sit there and coast and do nothing.
You're not going to pull a Ruth Bader Ginsburg on me, bro.
You know what I mean?
It's like, I'm going to take it to you.
So, you know, I'm showing up at his fire department that he built.
This was about two days ago.
It was in front of his fire department.
Hey, Bill, we're at your fire department.
Come out and debate me.
You know?
unidentified
Debate me!
billy prempeh
We'll debate right here in front of the fire department or whatever.
So now I'm going to show up at all of his offices.
I got people calling his office.
People sending emails saying, listen, Pascrell, come out and debate.
Stop running away.
You know what I mean?
23 years, you talk about how you've done so much.
And what really pisses me off is he's from Patterson.
He's from Patterson originally, right?
He chants, oh, I grew up in Patterson, I know what it's like.
No, you don't, because you're not doing anything.
If you knew what it was like, you wouldn't allow it to be in the situation that it's in.
He doesn't want to talk about any of these facts, because he knows I'm going to hold his feet to the fire.
He can't pull the whole Black Lives Matter nonsense with a guy like me, because I live here.
All right?
He can't pull the whole anti-Trump, you're a racist if you support Trump, because I support Trump.
All the moves that he would have used on any of the other Republican candidates, he can't use on me.
So it's like, it's best for me to just stay in the basement and be Basement Bill.
Stay away from this guy.
tim pool
I love the backfiring identity politics.
billy prempeh
Oh yeah.
He knows it.
That's the only thing.
There's no rationale for it.
tim pool
That's what I was thinking before, like when I was talking about how Kanye West said, you know, you have to be a Democrat or else.
Yeah, because they like to use the black community.
They say that they're the ones who are going to speak on your behalf and fight for you.
billy prempeh
Absolutely.
tim pool
And I'm like, like I said earlier, man, if that guy wants to come out and play that game, Well, he just lost the argument.
billy prempeh
It's like, let's play that game.
tim pool
Not only are you from a predominantly black area, but you're literally a black dude.
So like, why would I support him?
Why would I believe he knows anything about what's happening in your community?
If he thinks that's the issue that needs to be fought for, I'm going to look to you, Billy.
I'm going to ask you.
All right, you take the reins.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Because you both seem to agree, right?
billy prempeh
Right.
And he's not going to try and debate that kind of stuff, you know?
And, you know, I'm kind of sick and tired of people using the black community as the useful idiots, you know?
Same way that the socialists took over with the useful idiots doing the same thing right now with the African-American community and Black Lives Matter.
And I'm sick and tired of that.
We're not scapegoats.
You know, we've already been through enough.
We've already got all kinds of nonsense.
We've been dealing with slavery, segregation, all kinds of nonsense.
And now you want to use us to keep pushing your Democrat policies that put us in this situation in the first place?
And you're going to say that you're for us?
Black Lives Matter?
Get out of my face with that.
tim pool
That's why, you know, there's some things Candace Owens has said that I've disagreed with, but for the most part... That's why I was mentioning, like, you and Kimberly, for instance, people like Candace Owens, the Hodge twins, you know, Terrence Williams.
I don't... I think there's a lot of people who...
You know, I think it's obvious.
They use identity politics, they make money off it, they make a career off of it, and now you finally got a bunch of people who are actually black standing up, asserting themselves, saying, here's what we want, here's what we want to do.
Like, literally what you just said.
Tired of having your community be the scapegoat.
What do they call you?
White supremacists?
Racists?
That's the craziest nonsense I've ever seen.
billy prempeh
Or even they'll try to call you, you're an Uncle Tom.
I'm like, oh, oh, really?
That's the case?
tim pool
I watched that documentary.
billy prempeh
Fantastic documentary, by the way.
tim pool
I didn't even realize Herman Cain, his story was amazing.
billy prempeh
Yeah, man.
I didn't even know it was that deep.
tim pool
When he was like, I was trying to figure out why I wasn't getting paid enough money.
And my boss says, well, he's got a degree.
So I got me a degree.
unidentified
And I was like, yeah, I like that.
tim pool
So I'll tell you what, man.
Look, I grew up on the South Side.
I come second generation mixed race family.
I grew up with stories about civil rights era and all the stuff and all the things that were hard fought.
And now I'm seeing this insane racism from the left, but I've absolutely always been someone who's detested racism, detested white supremacists and all that stuff.
billy prempeh
As you should.
tim pool
And now I find myself in this interesting position where, as someone who's grown up hearing stories from my grandparents, from my parents, about what was life like in the country before civil rights, I see a bunch of black people actually standing up saying, we're gonna run, and they're conservatives.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
And they're getting crapped all over by these progressives.
And I'm like, well, wait, hold on a minute.
This is exactly what we were all fighting for.
unidentified
Correct.
tim pool
So that people could be protected, people were judged based on their character, not the color of their skin.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
And for some reason, it's the Democrats trying to maintain the inverse of that.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
But to be fair, you look at the diversity, I guess, of the parties.
Yeah, you look at the Republican Party, you've got a whole bunch of white dudes.
You look at the Democrat Party, you've got a whole bunch of, you know, you've got minority women, you've got some minority dudes, you've got some white people.
But it's all about fall in line behind our ideas or you're a racist and we'll try and tear you down.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
And now that they've got people who are diverse standing up saying, well, we disagree with your ideas.
They're trying to use all these tactics to destroy.
It's hypocrisy.
And I think it proves they never actually cared about actual diversity.
They never cared about the actual melting pot of this country.
They just cared about using that image.
Their support for Black Lives Matter, in my opinion, is skin deep.
Quite literally.
They want to make sure that they have the support of people based on what they look like, instead of convincing people their ideas are good.
So they'll make the show of it.
They say this all the time, like, why don't you take a look at the, you know, when it was...
The State of the Union.
You see all the Democrats and you've got different people of different colors and genders and you look at the Republicans and it's mostly like white dudes and some white women and they use that against them.
And I'm like, okay, I agree.
Then I'll tell you what, start supporting people of different races, different genders, whatever.
billy prempeh
Correct.
tim pool
Who aren't white then.
No.
No, they call Candace Owens a white supremacist.
They call Ben Shapiro a Nazi.
Which is madness!
But they call you trying to smear you as a conspiracy theorist, too.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
And I'm like... It just ties back to your opponent is 83 and he's saying Black Lives Matter.
And it's like, that's the stupidest argument ever.
billy prempeh
And he hasn't done a single thing about it, man.
You know?
He hasn't done a single thing about it.
I'm sick and tired of that guy, man.
And it's like, you know, what really, really, really... What really made me want to run against this guy is like, you know...
I looked at the numbers right after I spoke with Dr. Castillo.
I looked at it and I'm like, you know, and no offense any of the candidates that ran against them,
you know, you know, shout out to all of them, you know, you all went out and you fought and
I'm like, I looked at a lot of their campaigns and I'm like, none of you guys went for the neck.
Okay, this is a guy who he's gotten away with these mafioso type tactics, where he'll talk about how
he's doing all these great things. And he'll try and get the DNC and John Curry to come and crush
you. If you don't, you know, kind of to fall in line with him.
Yet he's doing nothing for anybody.
And I'm like, listen, man.
He has everything to lose, okay?
5.7 million dollars after 2018 in the bank.
You haven't done anything.
You go to your website, no policies, no legislation.
You piggyback and you co-sponsor other people's bills.
For 23 years.
The most significant thing is Great Falls Revitalization and the building of the Bill Pascrell Fire Department.
Two of your biggest policies, right?
And nobody's going after this guy's neck?
How are you in politics for 23 years, you're making that much money, and you're not doing anything for the community.
But people support you because there's a D next to your name.
tim pool
That's what Pelosi said about her in AOC.
That in their district, she said you could take this glass of water, put a D on it, and it would win.
billy prempeh
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
There's people in Paterson who've never seen Pascrell's face.
And they voted for him.
tim pool
Yeah?
billy prempeh
Yeah!
It's like that, bro.
tim pool
It's crazy to me that AOC won her primary.
It means people went in and they were like, that's what I want.
But I guess, you know, there was a poll that came out today from Gallup that Democrat party affiliation is going down a little bit.
It's actually bad news.
It's good news for Republicans now.
It's bad news in the long run.
Earlier in this year, party affiliation was higher, according to Gallup, among Republicans, and it switched and got particularly bad around the time the George Floyd incident happened.
We can also see Black Lives Matter support skyrocketed.
But since the riots have been going crazy, opposition has been growing and support has been going down.
You know, anyway, the general idea I see is, for a long time, nobody was involved in politics.
Your mission, particularly in Chicago, was go in and go dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee and go home.
And that's crazy.
I don't understand how you can have a city like Chicago, what is it, 80 years under Democrats?
And they call it Chirac?
Gun violence?
Which is bad, man.
billy prempeh
It's not a name to have, bro.
tim pool
So at what point are people like, eh, I'll try R.
I don't know.
Look, if you got a guy like this, what's his name?
Bill Pascrell, right?
billy prempeh
Bill Pascrell.
tim pool
Pascrell.
I don't know, he's not memorable.
If you have this guy who's been in for 20, 23 years, and you're coming out now saying, look at all these problems with police, I'll be like, wow, after 23 years?
You think there's a problem?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
It must be really bad if you couldn't figure it out.
billy prempeh
Oh, yeah.
tim pool
I'm going to try the R. Oh, yeah.
Exactly.
That's literally where I'm at right now.
billy prempeh
And that's the logic that I want people to have.
I don't want people to just vote for me because I'm a Republican, right?
Even when I speak with Republicans, I tell them the same thing.
I want you to vote for me because you believe in me.
I want you to vote for me because you believe in my policies.
If you vote for me just because I'm with a party, you're just going to repeat that entire process.
If you don't know what I'm about and I'm going in there and I'm supposed to represent you, who else are you going
unidentified
to vote for?
billy prempeh
You know what I mean? You can't just go, I want that person, same team, that's it.
tim pool
I think, you know, for too long, people have just, you know, like I said, voted down the line.
But I think the internet is starting to wake people up.
You know, now, it would have been... 23 years ago, how would you have gotten your name out to go up against the machine?
You know what I mean?
They got the DNC, they got the money in the bank, and you've got upstart candidates trying to get in.
They just bully you out.
They can shove you out.
Now you got the internet.
billy prempeh
Oh yeah.
And that's really helped me a lot because, you know, I've been running ads on Facebook since like 2013, you know.
And thank God I know what I know.
You know what I mean?
Being able to run those ads, that's what's really gotten the word out for me.
What's actually gotten... Because I'll be walking through the town and people will be like, hey, you're the guy from the internet.
I know you.
tim pool
I saw that video.
billy prempeh
You were talking about the term limits or you were talking about the BLM thing.
I know you, you know.
And if it wasn't for that, nobody would have any clue who I was.
They wouldn't know what I was about.
You know?
tim pool
You're knocking on doors?
billy prempeh
Um, yeah.
But even with knocking doors, it's like I'm doing that to a certain...
to a minimum at the moment right now.
The reason being is a lot of people are still skeptical about the whole COVID thing.
So it's more like, you know, we're leaving flyers.
If I see you on the porch, I'll talk to you from down the steps or whatever the case may be.
You know?
You know...
Whatever.
People believe it's real or not, it's besides the point.
My thing is, I don't wanna... I don't wanna infringe on people.
People are gonna be like, what?
That guy came and knocked my door trying to spread the coat.
Nah, I'm not voting for him.
I'm going past ground.
tim pool
Nah, so... It's a challenge because I think a lot of people in that city, in any city, they're gonna be like whatever the D is, you know what I mean?
billy prempeh
Yeah.
unidentified
So, it's so stupid.
tim pool
Two parties, whatever, for the most part.
But I think the advantage you have... I'm not gonna be mean, but you can get out there on the street.
You can spend 16 hours a day every day from now until the election.
You're young.
You got the energy.
You can do it.
You can talk to people.
I don't think he's got it.
I mean, he's old.
He knows the old school game.
If not this cycle, if you keep it up, I have a feeling you're gonna win.
billy prempeh
You know what's funny about you saying that?
The first interview that I did throughout this entire race, I did it with a guy named Beck Lover.
He's got a show called Beck Lover and the Comeback Team.
He came on and he said literally the exact same things.
He was like, listen man, this guy is very disconnected.
He's not really focused on what's going on in the community.
He's not actively going out and speaking.
And even if you see in Patterson, he's not promoting, he's not putting any signs up or anything.
During the primary he was doing that, but he's not doing any of that stuff now.
You know, and I believe the reason why he feels that is because, like, oh, this guy, you know, he doesn't have any money.
I'm not even going to go out there and do it.
And that's totally fine.
I want him to sleep on me because I don't think he understands the magnitude of what is about to happen.
Because the way I look at this race, man, is win or lose, I don't lose.
I don't really lose in this race.
And the reason why I say that is because the GOP, for example, right?
You say County, Bergen County, Hudson County, NJGOP, right?
They say they support me.
I'm not really getting the support, honestly.
I don't know if it's because, you know, they think I'm not the guy or whatever it is.
What I know it is, is that they say, eh, Paterson's a tough sell.
It's a hard city.
You know, it's gonna require a lot of work.
We're just not throwing money at that race.
We're just not getting the support.
And if that's their logic, okay, but I'm saying the reason why it is this way is because you're doing nothing.
So no matter how you try and rationalize that I'm not paying thing, like I was talking with one of these guys, I'm not going to say his name, but he's like, you know, you know, I understand Bill, but you know, Rome wasn't built in a day.
If you want to win this race, you know, we have to focus on all the cities on the outskirts and then we're going to focus on Patterson.
I'm like, that's, that's madness.
As life starts or as life starts to get better for certain people in Patterson, They're going to get out.
They're going to move into these areas with that liberal stuff.
You see what's happening in New York.
People are leaving New York.
They're moving to these surrounding areas with that liberal stuff.
You're going to keep this process going on forever and ever.
Until you take control of what's happening in that city, until you start setting up the tables, you start going to the low, you start going to the high schools, reaching out to the youth, getting people registered, getting them politically involved the way the Democrats are doing it right now, you're going to consistently lose.
That's why on these outskirt races it's always on edge.
If a Republican wins, we could possibly lose.
You can't win a fight like that.
There has to be a stronghold.
The reason why the 9th has been a stronghold for a very long time is because they know what they're doing.
No Republican is going to go in there and try and change anything.
So when I say no matter which direction this race goes, I don't really lose.
Because if I'm in this race, I'm going to have to go out there and help get people registered, get people together.
So I created a movement called the Revive New Jersey Movement.
Got a group on Facebook for people that want to help rebuild this.
And the reason why I say this is because the Democrat Party, they win because they have a machine.
They have a financial machine.
We like that guy, we don't agree with that guy, but he's on our team, we're going to push that guy with the machine.
The GOP doesn't have a machine.
Right?
They have, you know, great talking points and things they want to do, but without something like that to actually push the candidates, you can't get it.
And if you can't really focus on... You can't really focus on the whole money aspect, because I get it.
Money's definitely necessary to win this race.
But what I believe is what's really going to win this race against Pasquale is strategy.
Alright?
And I'm a military guy.
So it's like, I have to be very strategic.
I have to be very tactical.
I only have X amount of dollars, but I have a lot of people that are willing to help.
I have a lot of people that are willing to make phone calls.
I have a lot of people that are willing to do this.
And it started off as, you know, revive the ninth district.
This is what we're gonna do here in the ninth district.
And I laid out a plan.
We're gonna make calls, do this, do that, do that.
And we're gonna try and make changes here in the district.
But then I said, you know, this is bigger than that.
New Jersey needs help as a whole.
And there's people that are like, hey, I need you to, like, if you can come down to, you know, Belmar, come over here to this area and like, you know, just speak and continue to talk about what you're talking about.
You're like, you're a very fired up guy.
And I said, listen, if I'm like this, there's definitely other people inside the state that are like this.
So if we were able to mobilize, let's say, 10,000.
In fact, let me just break down some numbers for you here.
In the 9th District, there's 202,000 plus registered Democrats.
There's 69,000 plus registered Republicans.
But there's 179,000 plus unaffiliated voters.
So that's 179,000 people that are disenfranchised.
They don't trust either side, and primarily they don't trust the Republican side because, as you can see from the sides of the Republican Party, they're not putting in the work.
So if you're not putting in the work, you're not reaching out to those people, these people are going to say, you know what?
I'm just going to stay home.
I'm just not going to vote or I'm going to vote for whatever I feel.
There's no real solid, you know, line drawn in the sand.
So until we actually go out there and speak to these people, we're going to keep losing.
So someone's got to put that groundwork.
So I said, listen, if we got and I said, I said, listen, if there's one hundred seventy two thousand people in the
ninth district that are unaffiliated, if we got 300 people right to make
some phone calls and we divided these numbers amongst the people, that's
about five hundred and ninety two phone calls per person.
Divide that by 30 days, that's 29 calls a day.
So if 300 people made 29 calls a day and reached out to these people, we'd reach every single voter that's unaffiliated in the 9th district in 30 days.
Now imagine if we expand that across the state.
Now there's about 25,000 people in this group.
We all have the same belief.
We all have the same commonality.
We need to turn this state red.
And if there's someone over there in a completely different city, completely different district, and that guy needs help, we've got the machine.
We're all on the same page.
We're all working together.
There's nothing like that that exists with the GOP.
They'll give you financial support.
They'll probably plug you here and there if they totally support you.
But there's nothing like that for the community.
This has to be a grassroots effort, because the second we get something like this done, and we're able to successfully do this in New Jersey, we can do this across the country.
So that's one of the reasons why I decided not to leave, because seeing what I saw at the Trump ballot, there's definitely hope.
There's a lot of silent majority people here.
I thought New Jersey was blue and it was never going to happen.
When he said he was going to come to New Jersey, I'm thinking, maybe 10,000 people show up.
And I was totally wrong.
Way, way, way more people than you'd expect.
Way more people.
So now let's get them all on the same page.
And if we get them all on the same page, they're going to have a very, very, very difficult time trying to undo what we do in the 9th District.
tim pool
It's amazing to me.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
That's what this is saying, right?
And I see this.
Republicans not even trying to win in certain areas, especially with like AOC, for instance.
They don't even really have a Republican who runs there.
They have so many districts where they don't even bother.
And it's like, well, no wonder it's D plus 30.
You've never tried.
And so we used to have conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans because they like
I think Jeff Vanger is a really good example of I guess you'd call a liberal Republican.
He's a moderate I guess.
He's probably like the furthest left Republican there is because he literally just switched
over from the Democratic Party.
So I look at like, you know, AOC's district.
Why don't they have a Republican who's a moderate who can speak to the 20% of her district that is, you know, conservative?
Or, you know, around that percentage.
If you got... So, I think out of 750,000 people in AOC's district, you've got, I think, 200 and something thousand that voted for her.
And that's how she won.
Or 200,000 total votes.
Right.
If every single Republican voted, they'd win.
billy prempeh
Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah, and that's what really pisses me off here, man, because it's like they're focused on... Like, for example, I got a good friend, Frank Pallotta.
He's running in the 5th District, right?
And I really, really want him to win.
Can't stand Josh Gottheimer.
Total piece of crap.
He's best friends with Bill Pascrell.
They always tag team and try and jump other candidates.
And I don't believe Pascrell's gonna kind of get involved right now because I'm on his toes, right?
I want him to win.
A lot of people are focused on, we're going to throw all our eggs in this basket in the 5th district.
And I'm like, listen, let's say he does win.
What's the strategy for continuity?
Right?
They're not thinking that far out.
They're only thinking about like, right here, right now, we beat this guy and that's it.
There has to be something long term.
Me, like I said, I don't really win.
I mean, if I win, I win.
If I lose, I still win.
Because this isn't about that.
It's like long term, right?
And I believe I will beat this guy, right?
If he, whether he has a heart attack, it says I can't do this anymore or whatever.
You know, I don't wish any ill will on the guy.
I'm just keeping it real.
He just had heart surgery, but you're 83 years old.
You're falling apart.
This is a fact, all right?
I mean, if this is what's going on, if we actually build something like this,
I've met lots of people, lots of very, very influential people
in the state of New Jersey, very powerful people in the state of New Jersey,
who agree with what I want to do, and they want to help me do what I want to do.
We build this machine, there's no way they're going to stop us.
They can't stop us.
And when you have strongholds, like you convert a place like Patterson, you convert a place like Newark, a place like Camden, Elizabeth, all these huge inner-city areas, you're going to be very hard-pressed to turn that over.
When someone actually comes to them and starts speaking about a different alternative, because all they've known their entire life is Democrat, and now you've got an army of people that are talking about another way, it's going to be very difficult to bring them back to their old ways.
tim pool
That's how you turn the tide, man.
billy prempeh
That's exactly how you do it.
tim pool
You need a lot more followers.
What's your Twitter?
billy prempeh
My Twitter is BillyPrempa.
tim pool
Do you want to spell it?
billy prempeh
B-I-L-L-Y P-R-E-M-P-E-H.
And I need to use Twitter more often, too, honestly.
tim pool
But you got Instagram, too.
billy prempeh
Yeah, Instagram, I'm more active on there.
You go, some guy named Bill.
That's me on Instagram.
tim pool
That's an easy account to find.
billy prempeh
That's why I chose it.
tim pool
You can't forget that.
I saw your site.
I looked at some of the stuff you were standing for.
I saw what you were doing up north, and I was like, seems like a cool guy.
But I gotta tell you, man, sitting here, You've been telling stories, you've been talking about strategy.
I am deeply impressed.
I gotta say, man, you got a good head on your shoulders.
billy prempeh
The funniest thing, and this is the thing that a lot of people don't find it hard to believe, is like literally this entire campaign, right?
I haven't had any, you know, volunteer support from Bergen County, Hudson County, NJGOP, Passaic County, none of these people.
Literally everything from the website, the social media posts, the video editing.
Now I have a guy that's helping with the video editing.
Literally everything.
Everything you see about my campaign.
Advertising, all of it, 100% me.
The calling, the door-to-door, all that me.
Maybe about four or five people that really kind of help for the most part.
Now it's much bigger because now people are seeing that.
They're seeing what I'm about.
I believe that it's like, listen, I don't have to be the suit-and-tie guy.
A lot of people say, Bill, why don't you wear a suit-and-tie?
Because I'm not the suit-and-tie guy.
That's just not me.
I like the jacket.
I'll keep the jacket.
tim pool
You got a nice jacket, though, yeah.
billy prempeh
Thank you.
You know, I got it for 20 bucks at the thrift store, you know?
unidentified
Yeah.
billy prempeh
But, you know, I'm a regular guy, okay?
And I don't believe that I have to pretend to be this, whoa, whoa, look at me.
I'm a politician guy with a suit and tie.
You're here, dude.
tim pool
You know what I mean?
billy prempeh
I'm a human being.
Exactly!
I'm like, listen, people resonate with that.
People want Someone that you can approach, right?
tim pool
Authenticity.
billy prempeh
You know, I'm that guy.
You got a problem on your mind?
Give me a phone call, you know?
You want some help or something like that?
Give me a phone call.
I may not be congressman, but I'll probably be the shadow congressman.
You know, you ain't getting nothing from Bill.
I could probably pull some strings and make something happen.
Who knows, right?
But that's what I intend to do.
tim pool
I think it's only a matter of time before you win.
Oh yeah.
You're saying you think you're going to win now?
billy prempeh
I'm pretty confident that I'm going to win.
Even though it sounds very uphill.
The reason why I say I'm pretty confident that I'm going to win is a lot of the Democrats that I've spoken to They don't feel enthusiastic about this race.
I mean, even right now, Bill Pascrell doesn't really get along with Biden.
He doesn't really get along with Cory Booker, yet you're advertising, vote for Biden, Booker, and Pascrell.
The people aren't fools.
They see what's happening here, right?
And you may not like Trump, but I like that guy, Billy.
tim pool
Yep.
billy prempeh
You see what I'm saying?
That's the way to win here.
I don't have to convert all the Democrats.
I don't want you to leave your party.
If you believe in your party, that's all cool.
Do you believe in my policies?
Do you believe in what I stand for?
Then support Billy.
unidentified
Right?
billy prempeh
Come this way.
And if you don't support me at all, or you like me and you still don't want to vote, then don't vote.
If I dilute the Democrat vote, I turn over these unaffiliateds, we got a different situation here.
We got a different situation.
tim pool
At the very least, in the next several cycles, it'll be a very different battleground.
billy prempeh
Oh yeah, and it's like, you know, if I'm not the one to carry the torch, I'll lay the foundation for someone to carry it.
unidentified
Boom.
billy prempeh
You know?
We gotta build the machine.
tim pool
Let's take some Super Chats, bro.
unidentified
Alright.
tim pool
We went a little long.
Normally we do it earlier, but... Wow.
But you started with something to say, and I had to hear it.
Yeah man, it's good stuff.
So we got J Mackey says, I'm Air Force as well, joined 09, medically retired 14.
That experience really shaped my politics going forward, especially witnessing the rampant financial malpractice and fraud, waste and abuse.
Great sample of small-scale social health care and how much it can suck.
Thank you for your service.
billy prempeh
Hey man, thank you bro.
You know it's funny, we came in the same time, 2009.
I turned 19 in boot camp.
Good fun.
unidentified
Right on.
billy prempeh
Yeah, my friend got bit by a scorpion during Beast.
unidentified
Oh, man.
Oh, dude.
billy prempeh
That's what I did tell you, you know.
unidentified
Bit?
billy prempeh
Yeah, bro.
You're supposed to, like, knock your boots before you put them on.
Scorpion was in there, he put his pants on.
I mean, he put his boots on, he bloused his pants.
Scorpion went up there, bit his knee.
His knee was as big as that globe.
I was like, they're gonna have to lance that thing, bro.
unidentified
It was bad.
tim pool
Dude.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Alright, let's see.
Mike Depew says, how to upset a Republican?
Lie about them and lie to them.
How to upset a Democrat?
Tell the truth about them and tell them the truth.
billy prempeh
That's pretty accurate.
tim pool
There you go.
Matthew Hammond says, will a Rep.
Billy Prempeh push for reform of the 1996 Telecommunications Act Section 230 reform?
billy prempeh
How do you find me on that?
What was that?
Well, I'm not familiar with that.
This is why I have my phone number out there.
Give me a call.
I want to know about this kind of stuff.
tim pool
Section 230 was the law that says Twitter can't be sued for libel if a user publishes something, right?
So that a digital web service can't be sued as a publisher.
billy prempeh
Really?
tim pool
So basically...
If you call me an idiot, or you say that I did a certain thing I didn't do, I can't sue Twitter because of Section 230.
I can only sue you because you said it, right?
But in it are special provisions like Twitter can remove things that are considered objectionable or lewd without removing this protection.
So this is what allows Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and everybody to basically ban conservatives.
billy prempeh
Right.
Without being... Yeah, no, I would totally change that then, because I don't think that that's fair, because when Twitter and Instagram and all these groups start, you know, editing this kind of information, then you're no longer a public utility.
You're not something that everybody can use for free.
Now you're no different than a newspaper at this point.
unidentified
Exactly.
billy prempeh
You know, you're an editor, so...
Well, yeah, it's a fine line, but I'm like, if you can actually go in there and say, because like, look, the way I look at it is like, you know, a very loose, you know, syndicated aggregate news kind of thing, right?
Social media.
tim pool
Yeah.
billy prempeh
And if they can come in and say, I'm the dictator, no, and pull that out, then you're not really social media anymore at that point.
Now you're Technically a publication.
tim pool
That's the way it's supposed to be right now.
billy prempeh
And I agree.
tim pool
But for some reason, they're getting away with it.
billy prempeh
Well then, you know, please, if you can, you know, send me more information.
BillyPrempeh at Billy2020NJ.com.
I would really love to look more into that because if that's what's going on, then yeah, we could change that.
That's not cool.
unidentified
Right on.
tim pool
Let's read some more.
New Hersey accent says, Cheers Billy, thank you for your service.
Make New Jersey great again, please.
Save the Silk City.
billy prempeh
Oh yeah.
tim pool
Is that Patterson?
billy prempeh
Yeah, so Silk City, fun fact.
Patterson's got a ton of history, man.
They call it the Silk City because when they first started this country, the Silk City, they had all these silk mills that were powered by the Great Falls, right?
Wow.
And the Silk City, they clothed most of the world.
I mean, most of the United States when they started this country, right?
And now it's just the Great Falls that looks beautiful.
tim pool
No more silk production.
Why not?
Don't we need?
billy prempeh
I mean... No, all that stuff left a long, long, long time ago, you know?
And that's when Patterson really started to go downhills, like when a lot of the silk and manufacturing industry started to disappear, people just started leaving, and it kind of was similar to what happened in Detroit, when a lot of the businesses kind of just went under.
tim pool
Well, there's a certain presidential candidate who wants to bring the manufacturing back.
billy prempeh
Yeah, his name, he has initials... What's that guy's name?
He has initials, DJT.
tim pool
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
billy prempeh
You might want to check him out.
tim pool
Oscar Ramos says, hey Tim, did you see the Call of Duty Cold War trailer?
They actually put Yuri Bezmenov interviewing.
I heard that, yeah.
Did you hear about that?
billy prempeh
Really?
I didn't know that.
tim pool
You know about the Yuri Bezmenov?
billy prempeh
Yuri Bezmenov, this guy who was former KGB?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
tim pool
Yeah, it's crazy, right?
billy prempeh
Wow, okay, that's interesting.
tim pool
Dee Gentle says, Billy, what's your standing on the Second Amendment in New Jersey?
I'm a New Jersey resident and have been waiting on my permit for a few months now.
billy prempeh
Oh, a few months.
I know people in New Jersey, in Paterson I should say, waited at least a year and seven months before they got their permit.
unidentified
Wow.
billy prempeh
Which is madness, and to the best of my knowledge, that's totally illegal.
I don't know if you guys are familiar with Anthony Colangelo.
Anthony Colangelo is a good friend of mine.
He's probably the most prominent Second Amendment person in the United States right now.
And, um, he's suing a lot of these states to try and allow, to prevent this kind of stuff.
I'm pro Second Amendment, 100%.
And, in fact, to answer that question, I'll tell you a little bit of a story.
I've got all kinds of stories.
Right?
Thirteen years old.
I cut school one day with my friends.
We go out, we hang out in the Fifth Ave projects.
The guy we're hanging out with clearly sold drugs.
It was very obvious.
I didn't know this guy.
He's probably like 45 or something, right?
We're sitting down, smoking cigarettes.
Ha ha ha, kids.
And he says, hey, you kids want to see something cool?
I'm like, sure.
He goes into his closet.
He pulls out an AK-47 with a huge banana clip on it, right?
And he had two spent grenades.
No, it was about three spent grenades that he had, right?
They weren't live, but they were like spent grenades.
And he had the tip of the thing that goes on an RPG.
And I'm like, The only thing that's going through my mind is, for one, my heart is pounding like crazy, because I'm like, this is the first time I've ever seen a gun in my life.
And I'm like, oh my god, this guy's got a... That wasn't 13-16, sorry about that.
I'm like, oh my god, this guy's got a gun right here.
And the only thing on my mind is, you know, guns are illegal.
You're not supposed to have guns.
How do you get guns?
But then what was going through my mind is, how did he get grenade?
Because I know he wasn't in the army.
This guy was definitely a drug dealer, 100%.
You know what I mean?
He was definitely a drug dealer.
So I'm like...
For one, how do you get grenades even if they're spent or if they're alive?
How did you get those grenades?
How did you get an AK?
And if you got an AK, I know banana clips are pretty illegal in New Jersey.
How'd you even get the banana clip?
So I'm like...
Criminals don't follow gun laws, man.
They don't follow gun laws.
And at that time, I don't know why, I always believed that, you know, T-Murder went to Walmart and bought a shotgun and then he went and committed a crime.
And that's not what happens, bro.
They're getting guns from these alternative means.
And they're going to use them for whatever they want.
So when you try and put these laws in place to limit what Americans can do to defend themselves, you're not really You know, preventing crime or helping anybody.
You're actually making it very difficult for the actual law-abiding citizens to take care of themselves, their property, and their family.
So I think it's the stupidest thing in the world.
It's counterproductive.
tim pool
It seems... I'm from Chicago.
I mean, they have gun crime and some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
billy prempeh
Right.
tim pool
And it's always been the weirdest thing, because I remember the first time someone said to me, When you outlaw guns, only outlaws have guns.
I was like, yeah, because the people who own guns become criminals, and they're like, because criminals, yes, and because criminals don't care about the law.
And law-abiding citizens will say okay.
So that doesn't make sense, does it?
And I'm like, so how do you really stop criminals from getting guns?
Or how do you stop people, I shouldn't even say criminals, how do you stop people with malicious intent from getting guns?
billy prempeh
The only way you can stop, I mean, you can't, unfortunately.
You just can't.
I mean, the best thing you can do is like, you know, protect yourself, educate the people.
Because like me, I'm a very firm believer that every single female in the United States needs to know how to use a firearm.
I firmly believe that.
Even if you don't want to shoot a gun, go to a firing range, learn how to use a gun.
Alright, and the reason why I say that is because I'm not being sexist here, it's like, let's be real here.
You come across a guy that looks like Brock Lesnar, you're not beating that guy.
Alright, but if you got a handgun, You know what I'm saying?
You gotta know these kind of things, and I believe that, you know, to try and prevent anyone from being able to defend themselves, like, oh, you gotta wait, you gotta count on the police, and like, oh yeah, gung-ho for the police, but the police take time, okay?
Well, now they wanna defund the police, so... Right, so, oh, and then to make matters worse, you wanna, and then there's people that want gun control, but who's gonna get the guns?
The police, oh, but you don't support the police?
It's a catch-22 with everything they're doing.
tim pool
So, my gag solution, abolish all police and repeal all Second Amendment, you know, gun restrictions.
I agree.
billy prempeh
Well, not the gun reform thing.
tim pool
Well, I'm kidding.
The most extreme, I'm like, okay, fine, we'll get rid of all the cops and then everybody gets a free gun.
Problem solved, right?
No, not really.
So we got more.
Matthias says, support for Billy, your fantastic guest.
People seem to really like you, Billy.
billy prempeh
That's good.
I'm no douchebag.
That's good.
tim pool
ReaperBot says, All elected and appointed seats in government, local, state, and federal need term limits, but they also need career limits so they can't just shuffle around every few years when they hit the limit on any seats in government, local, state, or federal.
billy prempeh
Interesting.
I would like to learn more about that, or I would like to talk about that a little bit more whenever you get the chance.
tim pool
Here we go.
Carmine Sarno says, I'm not from Patterson nor from Alabama, but Billy is a fantastic guest, and Godspeed to his campaign.
billy prempeh
Thank you.
tim pool
There you go.
Oh, look at this one.
Conserving Liberty says, would love to see Billy be president one day.
billy prempeh
And a lot of people are saying that, you know.
I mean, we'll see.
You got energy, man.
I'm still young.
I mean, five more years, hit 35, then hey, we don't know.
We'll see what happens.
tim pool
We started this, I'm like, would you like to do an introduction?
And you're like, Let me give you a 10-minute full rundown of policies.
No, it was fantastic.
unidentified
Thank you.
tim pool
Yeah, good energy, man.
Alright, let's see what we got here.
Sea Turtle says, what if we hold police accountable to the UCMJ or equivalent?
billy prempeh
You know what's funny?
I thought about that.
You familiar with UCMJ?
tim pool
Vaguely.
billy prempeh
Uniform Code of Military Justice.
So it operates under its own legal system.
You know, I thought of the exact same thing.
I was like, you know, that would actually make sense, but for one, that's gonna require a lot of work to try to revamp that.
The only thing that kind of scares me about that is... That's a good question, and I think it makes sense, but it's like, what if...
My fear with that is the police becoming too militarized.
That's my fear with that, right?
Because with the UCMJ, you fall under a different protocol.
Yeah, there's certain things you can and can't do, but it's like, you know, at the same time, you do not, like when you're in the military, the Constitution, you support it, you protect it, but it doesn't apply to you.
You don't have any rights.
You're GI, you're government property at this point, right?
You're under the UCMJ.
I think that's something to consider.
But we definitely have to look into that a hell of a lot more.
I think that's an interesting take, actually.
tim pool
Jake Kemp says, implement something like the USAF Inspector General's Office.
Independent of PDs, only accountable to higher offices at state and federal level, serves to investigate fraud, waste, abuse, etc.
Also, LEOs need a higher standard, i.e.
an adapted UCMJ.
billy prempeh
So that's what he was talking about.
And that's kind of what the JARO bill would do.
Except I want this to be under the Department of Justice unless there's probably a better solution.
As of right now, this is all just a work in progress.
When we get to Congress and you start beefing with each other, we'll figure it out.
tim pool
Got a lot of Patterson people.
Check this out.
Let's see.
New Hersey accent says... Wait, did I read this one?
No, no, yeah, yeah.
Go, Billy!
Make the Silk City great again.
Patterson was an industrial powerhouse in the early days of the U.S.
New Jersey is a hard-working state that deserves principled representation.
billy prempeh
Amen.
I agree with that.
tim pool
Rad.
Here we go.

billy prempeh

tim pool
Wow, man.
billy prempeh
Thank you.
tim pool
Goblin Marv says, hey, Tim, you should try to get Sam Hyde on the show.
He was one of the first people to be deplatformed when his Adult Swim show was taken, even though it had some of the best ratings.
I know.
Yeah, I heard about that for sure.
Yeah.
Well, cancel culture comes for everybody eventually.
VillaMusicDude says, Ugg, an argument between a friend and I about Chinosha.
He says excessive force.
I say we don't know enough facts yet and that context is important.
At what point should they have used force to stop him from going to his car?
billy prempeh
You know, that's a very difficult question to answer.
It's like, you know, there's a report that I believe was done by News 7 where there was a political activist, I mean, not a political activist, but a police brutality activist that he went on a ride with these police officers.
I don't know if you saw this report, but he goes on this ride with some police officers.
And he kind of, they run him through some drills, like, right, this guy's gonna go behind this car, you know, when do you use excessive force?
Every single time where he tried to be rational about it, he failed.
He either shot the guy too early or, you know, he thought the guy was safe and that the guy would actually pull out a gun and kill him.
all-in on this and he was a little i do think that it's it's it's it's a lot
harder than you think it's a split second decision you know i mean
tim pool
here's in the myth busters where they did a knife versus a gun
billy prempeh
and they found the knife was better yeah yes you know what the faster but if i
unidentified
if i get to get your brother they were like at twenty one feet
tim pool
out of shape myth buster guy was able to close the distance and get a strike with
unidentified
the night yeah before other dude could i don't think that you know when you when
billy prempeh
When you get into combat sports or you're learning a martial art, you're dealing with weapons, disarms.
I've studied Krav Maga for quite a while for example.
It looks easy.
It looks like, oh, this is something that's very simple in the movies.
And there's even certain moves that look very flashy, but would actually get you killed if you do it the wrong way, you know?
It's very, very split-second.
So this isn't a Bruce Lee flick, you know?
Like, what the police officers are out here doing is really hardcore stuff.
It's very difficult, and you only have seconds to kind of respond to that.
It's not always the correct response.
tim pool
And you know what tends not to go viral?
There's one video that went viral recently.
Where two officers were trying to detain a guy, and then he goes into his car, pulls out a gun.
Oh, no, no, no.
billy prempeh
I've seen that one.
I've seen that one this morning.
Yep.
unidentified
Yep.
billy prempeh
So... They used their taser on him, and it failed.
tim pool
Exactly.
And then he... I think he stole one of their guns, or... Correct.
He pulled one out of his car, I think.
billy prempeh
Well, no, he didn't even get a chance to get into his car.
I think he had the gun the entire time.
Yeah.
He... So, basically... So, basically, in the video, there's two police officers.
They're behind the car.
You can see from the dash cam footage.
The guy's on the passenger side he runs around to the side the police they grab their tasers they both try and deploy their tasers I think one misses and the other one fails or something he pulls out his handgun he shoots both the police officers and that was all within a span of like three seconds you know and that's two officers that try to go for the non-deadly Alternative.
And both of them got shot.
I don't know the status of whether those police officers are alive or not, but... But that video doesn't go viral.
No.
Of course not.
Because then that defeats the narrative.
It's like, you want them to believe that it's like, these police are like Spider-Man and they can catch anything at any given moment.
tim pool
Or they got Spider-Sense.
billy prempeh
They know it's coming.
unidentified
Right.
billy prempeh
It doesn't work that way, bro.
tim pool
Thank you.
I'm no fool.
Oh yeah.
Have you seen it?
just started catching up this guy's brilliant extremely personable and most
importantly inquisitive thank you there you go I'm no fool Mike Chilson says great show as
usual good luck to you Billy have you guys seen the 404 page on
Trump's website check it out for a good laugh you always appointed have you
seen it it's Biden right yeah and he's like I don't know where I am
that's why I'm saying like Trump is an internet candidate He's fun, he's funny, you know.
The guy says, sending love from the Tim Pool fans.
Respect and debate FB group.
There's a moderator on a different Tim Pool fan page called Joe E. Rogue that masquerades as a Tim Pool fan but is nothing but lies with how he censors us true TP fans.
Keep it up.
I didn't know that.
Alright, well, you know, inner drama.
Renegade Shuriken says, It's happening.
I just watched a bunch of protesters go down my street, cornering a truck, and then burning an American flag in the middle of the street.
This is Appleton, Wisconsin.
Cops are out.
They are trying to manipulate traffic.
Yikes, man.
Val Aras says, Evening, Tim.
Lydia, and Governor, Senator, Prempeh.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Senator.
Future 2B, huh?
unidentified
Maybe.
tim pool
Policing the police is true change.
Look up the Justice of Peace Act.
Was it England 1361?
A JP, a person of unquestionable integrity and who commands the respect and confidence of the local community.
unidentified
Hmm, okay.
Interesting.
billy prempeh
I'll look into that.
tim pool
Alright, I think we're gonna get a big super chat jump.
Happens sometimes.
Justin Best says, huge fan, Tim.
I found it funny that you have more subscribers and views than a major candidate running for the presidency.
billy prempeh
This is true.
tim pool
Biden's YouTube channel is dismal, to say the least.
How does the Democratic nominee not get any viewers, Trump 2020?
That's true, man.
Like, during the DNC, the live shows we were doing were like 20, 30, 25% or 30% less.
But I'm like, that's kind of crazy that the biggest political party in the country can't muster up massive viewership.
billy prempeh
Yeah.
tim pool
No, I'm not going to play games.
We'll see how the RNC pulls off, because earlier today when I was watching, they had like 12,000, I think.
But it's hard to calculate what their future is going to be.
I'm interested to see what the ratings are.
unidentified
I am.
billy prempeh
That's what it's really going to come down to.
tim pool
I'm not sure if it's going to matter, you know, because, you know, we'll see how things play out.
Brian says, hey Billy, when you win, tell Cory Booker to go F himself.
billy prempeh
That's why we're voting for Rick Mata.
Rick Mata.
Shout out to Rick Mata.
tim pool
That's right.
He's doing the thing with the Atlas Gym.
billy prempeh
Yes, yes, yes.
He's out there.
He's out there right now at Atlas Gym.
They joined his finance committee, I believe it is.
tim pool
Have you considered anything like that?
billy prempeh
No, I have not.
I'll be completely honest.
And this is going to sound really ignorant.
I have no idea what that even means.
Because I'm like, you know, like I said, I'm doing this on my own.
tim pool
Right, right.
Basically, Atlas Gym gets shut down, so Rick Mehta turns that gym into a campaign office.
billy prempeh
That is madness!
That is genius!
That's what he did?
That's what he did?
Wow!
unidentified
Rick!
tim pool
So now it's like we're doing workout fundraisers.
billy prempeh
Rick, that is genius, man!
That is genius!
Rick, why didn't I think of that?
Wow!
Okay!
Alright, Rick!
Man, okay!
I gotta call Rick after this, man.
unidentified
I didn't know that.

Is that true?
tim pool

It's a big day.
billy prempeh
It's funny, yesterday I finally broke 7,000 followers.
That was quite the achievement.
tim pool
Man, I feel like you should have way more followers.
billy prempeh
I should.
I should, but hey, they're also throttling me like crazy.
tim pool
I wouldn't be surprised.
billy prempeh
You know, when I first started in this race, before I was even talking about anything political, I'd get about 700, 800 people viewing my stories.
Now it's down to like 98 and I'm like, that's madness.
There's no way.
tim pool
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim pool
Well, hopefully you get more followers from all the segments we do because I think you're a smart dude and I think you're doing cool stuff.
billy prempeh
Thank you.
tim pool
Yeah, man.
Alright, let's see what we got here.
Another man says, Canadian here but whatever.
Data driven policy.
Connect the crime stats to psychology papers with the understanding of what government should and shouldn't do.
Also have cops directly beholden to the constitution.
They should be.
billy prempeh
I agree.
That's common sense.
tim pool
Theorofander says, donated 50 bucks on his website and another 50 bucks for you and Lids for bringing this guy on the show.
Best show to date.
Good luck, Billy, rooting for you.
billy prempeh
To date?
tim pool
Wow, thank you.
Yeah, no, I gotta agree.
I mean, your stories, like your opening story about your life serving in the Air Force, you had me speechless.
That was fascinating.
I'm just like, I'm gonna let this guy just go for it, man.
This is awesome.
billy prempeh
Wow, well, thank you.
tim pool
I think a bunch of people probably just got hypnotized.
billy prempeh
Funny story.
I've got tons of these.
What I noticed is the first speech that I ever gave, ever in my life, was at the Passaic County Republican Organization.
That video you can find on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, wherever, right?
And it's a speech.
It's written.
It's a written speech.
And, you know, I'm giving a speech, and it was a very good speech.
Out of all the people that spoke, you know, I was the only person that got a real standing ovation, which I thought was fantastic, right?
But it didn't feel natural, right, reading a script, right?
The second time you go to Bergen County, And this was the real speech.
This was a really big one.
I go out and I'm reading this speech.
I read like the first two sentences and I look in the crowd because there was more people at this one.
It was about like maybe 90 to 100 people in the crowd.
I look up and I just do like B-Rabbit and 8 Mile and just choke, you know what I mean?
And I'm like, oh crap, I don't know what to say.
And then I just look at my mother and she's there with my aunt who my mother met when she came to this country and she like really put our family on and everything.
I look at my mom.
And then I just started talking about my mom and like, you know, what she went through and what she did and what I intend to do for this country.
And I just started winging it.
And the crowd went mental, bro.
And I just was.
And then there was a guy.
His name is Bob Folcarino.
And I want to say I want to say thank you for for the advice.
He gave me some really good advice that day.
Told me two things that the first thing, man, he was like, bro, you don't look anything like a politician.
If there's anything you're going to do, don't you ever cut those dreadlocks off?
tim pool
I agree, man.
billy prempeh
He was like, for one, they look cool.
unidentified
Yeah.
billy prempeh
And two, You're the first politician I've ever seen with dreadlocks.
The second thing is, don't ever write a speech ever again.
Just wing it.
Talk from the heart.
Because when you talk from the heart, I felt that.
Everybody felt that in the room.
Just talk right from the heart.
tim pool
You got it, man.
There have been several moments throughout this show where you've just gone at it.
You got good stories.
You're talking about your strategy and your mission.
Yeah, man.
Wing it.
That's good.
billy prempeh
Thank you, Bob.
