More. Hi, teresa. Jose perez is an illegal immigrant who has been deported twice, wanted on drunk driving warrants, and was appearing in massachusetts courtroom before judge Shelly Richman to joseph on drug charges. If he made bail, there was a nice agent in the hallway waiting to rearrest him. Heres the conversation picked up on courtroom audio between judge joseph and the defense eternity for perez. They speak softly so listen close. Yeah. Its unclear what was said when they turned off the audio recorder, but the defense lawyer told the judge perez needed to get his property downstairs, which of the judge allowed. That is when prosecutors say the Court Officer, wesley mcgregor, who is also charged, used his access card to slip perez out the back door. The lead investigator quoting, the people of this country deserve nothing less than to know that they are appointed and elected representatives are working on their behalf while adhering to and enforcing the rule of law, not a personal agenda. Today the judge in Court Officer were indicted by a grand jury and pled not guilty to obstruction of justice. As she left the courthouse, judge joseph lost her composure and began to cry. Her Attorney Says the case is purely political. Tammy all right, trace, thank you. Thanks for that report. The boston area radio host, hi, how are you doing . Very good, tammy. Tammy what a remarkable event. We know President Trump was elected in part because americans were tired of not having the rule of law, and seeing it in place and applied uniformly to all people, and now suddenly we have an example of where it just might have been give us some background. Thats your state. Its pretty thrilling, isnt it . It is. I talked to the director of ice today, the acting director and he says as far as he knows this is the first time this has happened. These sanctuary jurisdictions all across the country, but no judge, no politician, no sheriff, or Police Commissioner has ever been indicted for letting these illegal aliens go. In massachusetts, as in most other areas of the country, this has gotten to be a terrible problem. In the same courthouse just outside of boston, last year you had another judge had an illegal dominican gang banger in front of her who was accused of rating a college coed while she was drunk and the prosecutors had asked for a high bail so that ice could grab this guy and get him deported, or at least get him locked up while he faced charges. The judge got the bill to 2500, and he escaped out the back door. He had a case south of boston, another rape case involving an uber driver appeared tammy i have to say, this is unusual, and i think the lack of law and cooperation with federal Law Enforcement kind of invites this. As with that audio we heard, there is like collusion, like an effort made to help facilitate the escape. It wasnt even just using the law as the state might have passed it. We can debate whether that would be constitutional or legal, but this is an actual effort to facilitate the escape by this judge and that clerk appeared extraordinary. Speak of this judge violated all kinds of laws. The court rooms are open and she wouldnt even let this guy who is not just a u. S. Citizen but an officer of the law, a sworn officer, and a nice agent. She wouldnt even let him in the courtroom. Then they are all these rules of the Massachusetts Trial Court to that you dont turn off the tape recorder for that very reason that they did turn it off it off. Tammy if you are willing to do what they did allegedly, there has been an indictment, then i dont think the other smaller issues bother you, either. But this seems to be, i think, a mentality especially on the left, and even within Law Enforcement as we have seen, even at the highest federal levels, that may be the rules dont apply to them. And the nation i think has sent a message very strongly that we want law and order in the rule of law to apply to everyone. A great job out there also with all of your work. Thank you for joining me tonight. Appreciate it. Thank you. Tammy not a story we want to hear but it was good to see how it is turning out. The u. S. Mexico border has become a huge mask, thousands of people crossing over every day. New york times columnist Thomas Friedman says he has seen enough in a recent column. He shocked many on the left coming out in favor of a border wall. He said so on cnn. When you say you want a high wall with a big gate, a smart, but a high wall that is going to say to a lot of folks out there, that is what donald trump wants. I think youve got to control the border. When you have an increase of illegal apprehensions of illegal entries by 374 since october, obviously youve got a situation where the Border Security is not sufficient. Time for a high wall with a big gate, compassionate, smart gate so we can keep immigration goin going. Tammy all right, Jonathan Harris is a democratic strategist. He joins us now. Jonathan, welcome aboard. Hi, how are you . Tammy good. All of us are seeing tapes fly by the window no matter which side you are on. What is your take on this . I know you dont agree with mr. Friedman. Why . We have heard the numbers, weve heard the order in wall would only curb a third of illegal immigration because that is not where it comes from. It actually doesnt come predominately from the southern border. It is people coming in through legal ports of entry and stuff like that. It would only cut a third of illegal immigration. Number one, it is not costeffective to spend that much money to cut a third of illegal immigration, then also just the way that trump promoted the wall, which was essentially calling mexicans criminals and so forth. Whether you agree with the wall or not, if you isolate just to that, those remarks leave a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths. A lot of people wouldve supported some of the wall or extended fencing. When you hear what he says about muslims and mexicans, you dont even want to be associated with it at all. Tammy here is our issue, though. A lot of people dont like what the president says or how he says it, then theres the facts of the matter and the reality. Even taking your numbers, which we can debate whether that is the case or not, in march alone, 100,000 Illegal Immigrants were apprehended. You know, having 30,000 of those individuals stopped, why not do that . But isnt the Nations National security, does not matter especially with al qaeda still out there . Especially with other terrorist groups . With what happened in sri lanka . This is not a zerosum game. Its not just of the wall. It is a comprehensive framework of Border Security. By the wall is part of that. Especially when it comes to the drugs coming over. What would make you happy . No more, or what is the solution . The issue for me and a lot of people on the left, lawmakers, voters, cutting a third of illegal immigration and then asking the taxpayer to foot the bill for millions of dollars when you set your supporters, america, that mexico was paying for this repeatedly. You promoted the wall by calling mexicans rapists and criminals. Tammy we can argue about whether or not the president approach to this properly. I think he did. But americans arent saying this anymore than you wouldnt go to the doctor if you think there is only a 30 chance of a certain medicine working for you. Just dont take it. But youve got to have a point where we come together, go down to the border, see what is going on and we say yes, weve got to take control of this. Im agreeing what you are saying in principle, im just saying the way he told it was vile and the facts dont support the need for it. Tammy thank you, i appreciate that, that is very 2019 of you. Thank you. Tammy two years ago, a College Student was returned to the United States from north korea. None of you will forget that. However, he was in a comatose state and died days later. Sources say that when north korea released him, they also gave the u. S. Government a 2 million bill for the treatment that he received. According to those sources, joseph young signed that bill, but for at least the following year, it was never paid. At the Trump Administration has insisted that it paid no ransom money for his release or any other north korean hostages, three more of which were also released later. Extraordinary development there. Joe biden, in the meantime, has entered the democratic president ial race, but biden, obamas Vice President , is he liberal enough to win in the modern Democratic Party . That is next. Plus mayor bill de blasio has declared a new war on hot dogs. That is just ahead. Did you know comcast business goes beyond fast with a gigspeed network. Complete internet reliability. Advanced voice solutions. Wifi to keep everyone connected. Video monitoring. Thats huge. Did you guys know we did all this stuff . No. Im not even done yet. Wow. Business tv. Cloud apps and support. Comcast business goes beyond at t. Start with internet and voice for just 59. 90 a month. Its everything a Small Business owner needs. Comcast business. Beyond fast. Tammy all right, after months of waiting in speculation, joe biden finally entered the democratic president ial race today. In his announcement, biden said giving donald trump eight years in the white house would permanently damage the country. We are in the battle for the soul of this nation. I believe history will look back on for two of this president and all he embraces as an abhorrent moment in time. But if we give donald trump eight years in the white house, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation. Who we are. And i cannot stand by and watch that happen. That is why today im announcing my candidacy for president of the United States. Tammy all right, biden leads in the polls. But commentators are already warning that his age, and skin color are liabilities in the modern Democratic Party. It will be really interesting seeing him attempt to connect with these voters who have quite frankly been paying attention to people like Kamala Harris and other younger lawmakers who are a bit closer to the current base. What makes you so confident that a 76yearold white man, that this is his moment . Has he missed his moment . Does the Democratic Base that he is young, progressive, and apparently somewhat desperate for an outsider, do they want someone like joe biden . Older, the consummate insider, if you will. Joe biden understands this modern Democratic Party is going to sit back and say, really . We want a 76yearold white man . Tammy congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez isnt thrilled, either. That does not particularly animate me right now. I can understand why people would be excited by that, this idea that we can go back to the good old days with obama, with obamas Vice President , i think there is an emotional element to that but i dont want to go back. I want to go forward. Tammy author and columnist mark steyn joins us now. I have a feeling you have a few things to say. Welcome aboard. Great to be with you, tammy. Tammy this is very interesting. I agree with alexandria, no one wants to go back, but i dont think anyone wants to go back to having their jobs delivering pizza, either. Because this is going to be a rough primary, and certainly would be an even rougher general election. What do you think his biggest liability is . Is it his skin color, his age, is it being associated with the past . What do you think they are looking at here . I dont think its his skin color or his age, because as much as i enjoy hearing all these people beat up on a 76yearold white man, his principal rival in the Democratic Party is a 77yearold white man. And the difference between them i think is that bernie is a romance for his supporters. He is a romantic figure, a romantic, insane figure, but he is romantic. Biden is tired and in the awful position of being unable to run as himself, because the democrats are basically disowned 90 of what joe biden has been doing in washington the last 45 years. So thats a terrible problem for a guy, when you have to run in an essentially dishonest way, which is why he gave this a tortured and weird rationale as to why he has decided to get into the race in this video. Bernie has it way easier. Bernie just gets to be bernie, and biden is trying to be something other than biden. Tammy in the video, it was interesting that he really basted in charlottesville, but it seems that with this fear that all of america had become racist, and he is supposed to be the moderate. Yet that is the rhetoric of the left. At the rhetoric of the left really, also, is kind of sexist and racist, in a way. And ageist. For a group that is politically correct, they seem to be moving into an arena that they use to condemn people for. It is very interesting that old people are the last people you can beat up on. I think that is to do with the fact that democrat ideology essentially now is living in a kind of hype of present tense, so that anything that happened before the day before yesterday is entirely irrelevant. That means that the people who exemplify it, you know, candidates who are older than 12 years old, can be beaten up on the grounds of their age. But biden doesnt even do the old thing well, because like russian collusion, the basic premise of the russian collusion fever it was that trump was some kind of deep sleeper, or not so deep sleeper, for Vladimir PutiVladimir Putin. That doesnt indict all trump supporters. This weird thing that trump somehow is leading to this resurgence of White Supremacy necessarily indicts not just trump but half the population o. Tammy thats it and its difficult to fit into that. The other older white man, bernie sanders, last night i attended an event called she the people. A woman in the crowd asked sanders what he would do to fight against a socalled white. When he evaded giving an answer, he began to get heckled. Listen to this. Let me just follow up, senator. The core of the question is about, as president , what would you do with the rise of white supremacist violence and protect us . [applause] you know, as somebody i know i date myself a little bit here, but i actually was at the march on washington with dr. King back in 1963. Tammy he got booed for saying that, why . Bernie, in fairness, he looks fabulous there. He doesnt look 77. He looks like 83, 97 may be. But you can tell he is actually serious about running for president. He lives across from the Connecticut River from me and he looks more coiffed and groomed than ive ever seen him. So he is serious this time. Tammy i think he is ready to take it on. But this is just one taste of what everyone can expect in this democratic primary season. Mark, thank you so much. As well, tammy beard great being with you. Tammy identity politics is consuming the Democratic Party. Even president ial candidates are apologizing for their skin color. Many of the men running are pledging to pick a woman if they get the nomination. I will have a woman running mate. It is clear to do that. It would be very difficult not to select a woman with so many extraordinary women who are running right now. I think we would look for somebody who is maybe not of the same gender that i am. I pledged that i would ask a woman to serve for Vice President. Tammy all right, Michelle Ritchie is a former press secretary for the communications committee. She joined us now. Friend of mine come too i think we agree on a lot of things here, but you can even hear i guess the discomfort of bernie sanders. He couldnt even say woman. I dont know why not. But he think there is a problem with focusing on the beingcounting, if you will, of gender as opposed to getting the right person for that job . Let me be the first to say i certainly believe we should pick a qualified person to hold that position as Vice President. However, i always find it very interesting that we seem to, when we talk about identity politics, we always seem to focus on marginalized groups of people. We always focus on africanamericans or women, but its weird because that same notion should also apply to republicans who may appeal to more white male dominated audiences. So isnt white or caucasian a race . Isnt mail a gender . So im not sure why its only people speaking to people who look like me, me, all of a sudden it becomes identity politics. Tammy but it comes up in the vicinity of what is being discussed, pointedly for that reason. That clip where he was being heckled about it how are black women going to be represented . Or in the case of the question about the Vice President. Are you going to elect a woman . The difference between that and policy that appeals across the board, or to lets say, bluecollar workers in the midwest who might be primarily male, or have a different point of view. Its the difference between deliberately appealing to a group of individuals and for the sake of doing that versus having policies that have been to appeal to particular constituency in the country. But i would also say, i dont know if you noticed this, why would the men, somebody like beto orourke, presuming that the women running are running to be his Vice President . Thats the other thing there is this assumption that the woman running is fine women are running for president and you think these women are interested in being Vice President . I dont think so. Stacy abrams, i think it was on the view where she actually said this, if i wouldve run i have intentions of running for president , not Vice Presi
