00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZY Boston's news video.

2
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think all of us have watched the immigration

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>battle open up on a lot of fronts, And just

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>to put this into a little bit of historical perspective,

5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I think there are two viewpoints within this country towards

6
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 2>what I call illegal immigration and what others will call

7
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>I guess call it by a different name. But in

8
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 2>the last four years during the Biden administration, there are

9
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people who were able to come across

10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:40.439
<v Speaker 2>the border.

11
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.679
<v Speaker 3>Most of them were coming across for all the right.

12
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Reasons, but very few of them are going through the

13
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 2>process correctly which they were supposed to comply with. So

14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>we now have millions of people in the country who

15
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>we don't know. And that was a big issue in

16
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the last presidential elections, in which Donald Trump beat Vice

17
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Resident Harris And although Donald Trump says it was a landslide,

18
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>it was a close election. He won all of the

19
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>battleground states but didn't win them. The overall vote was

20
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>about fifty plus to forty nine plus. The difference was

21
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 2>a couple of million votes, not again landslide, but it's

22
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 2>an issue that I think most Americans feel something needs

23
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>to be done, and in the first few months of

24
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration, we've had some very interesting broadsides fired

25
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 2>from one side or to the other. It doesn't seem

26
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>to be much of an area of agreement. I think

27
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 2>that there is a general agreement amongst most people who

28
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:55.799
<v Speaker 2>are within the great middle in America, who say, Yeah,

29
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>let's get the bad people. Let's get the rapists and

30
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the murderers, the child pornographers, and the people who are.

31
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Bringing fentanyl into the country. Let's get them out. Let's

32
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 3>close the border, let's tighten up the border.

33
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a consensus on that, and I think

34
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 2>that on that issue, the Trump administration is trying to

35
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>do their best.

36
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Now.

37
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>In some cases, I have criticized the Trump administration because

38
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>some of the arrests seem to me to be a

39
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>little premature. I want to see all the gang members.

40
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to see Trente Daraguara, I want to see

41
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 2>MS thirteen. I want to see all the real bad

42
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 2>people who have come into this country for no good purpose.

43
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I want them gone, and I like them gone yesterday,

44
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>and I think most of you would agree with that. However,

45
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>there are also a lot of people who are here

46
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>who potentially have come here for the right reasons. And

47
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>so therefore one group focuses on the very bad actors

48
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>who are here, and the other group focuses upon the

49
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>eighteen year old student from Milford who was picked up

50
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.560
<v Speaker 2>when they were really looking for his dad, or the

51
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>the tough's graduate student who's arrested by the the ICE agents.

52
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 2>And you have again politicians on both sides, uh, basically

53
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>trying to get the public to focus, to basically frame

54
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the issue as they want now. Uh, Mayor Wu has

55
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>become a target of the Trump administration, and Boston has

56
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 2>become a target of the Trump administration and of the.

57
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 3>The Director of Ice, Director.

58
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Homan, and Mayor Wu in her state at the City address,

59
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 2>I guess it was actually in March earlier this year.

60
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>She sort of threw down the gauntlet here.

61
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

62
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 2>And uh, this just gives you a little bit of

63
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the tone of Mayor Wu in early March here in Boston,

64
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 2>in the State of the city addressed. This is cutting

65
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>number thirty five.

66
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 4>Please, Rob, we stand with immigrants. You belong here, so

67
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 4>almost want to see that, then, miguerants, Boston doesn't back down.

68
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.680
<v Speaker 4>We are a city where the Irish coffee is strong

69
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 4>and our opinions are stronger. We may not always agree

70
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 4>or see eye to eye, but at the end of

71
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 4>the day, we are a family. If you come for

72
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 4>one of us, you will get all of us.

73
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 3>Well. On that point, she's dead wrong. Okay, she's dead wrong.

74
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 2>She does not distinguish between people who are coming here

75
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>out of desperation and people who are coming here as desperadoes.

76
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Meaning when she says, if you come for one of us,

77
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 2>does that refer to the child rapist who's here illegally?

78
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Do we all stand with that person? I hope not.

79
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I hope not.

80
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 2>She was questioned by a congresswoman from South Carolina about

81
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.480
<v Speaker 2>that very point, and when she appeared in Congress back

82
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 2>in February, she kind of had to answer questions direct

83
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 2>questions from Congresswoman Nancy Mace cut number thirty four.

84
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 5>Please Rob mayor Wu, I have a last couple questions

85
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 5>for you. Do you believe that ICE arresting a child

86
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 5>rapist quote threatens everyone's safety?

87
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 6>End quote?

88
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 5>Yes, sir, No no? Does Ice arresting a murderous MS

89
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.879
<v Speaker 5>thirteen game member threaten everyone's safety?

90
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 7>Yes?

91
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 3>Or no?

92
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 7>No?

93
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.079
<v Speaker 5>I would like to hold up this quote of you

94
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 5>where you say ICE's efforts actually threaten the safety of

95
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:00.240
<v Speaker 5>every one.

96
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker 8>End quote.

97
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 5>Boston Mayor Michelle Will, you're a hypocrite.

98
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Tough language from Mace, who's a Republican. Now, the mayor

99
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>has gone on to make some very interesting comments about

100
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>ICE officers, and they have drawn the attention of US

101
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Attorney Leah Foley, who's a very impressive United States attorney.

102
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 2>Normally US attorneys stay away from this sort of a fray,

103
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>but I think she is fed up with some of

104
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>the rhetoric from Mayor Wu, and I think she's fed

105
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 2>up with the lack of cooperation. Boston Police are willing

106
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.759
<v Speaker 2>to provide federal agents here who are trying to I

107
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>would hope rid the city of people who are here

108
00:06:56.399 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>for the wrong reasons. So now the the new US attorney,

109
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 2>she's been in office for I guess a couple of months.

110
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Lea Foley released a video this morning. The video actually

111
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 2>runs in its entirety, but just a minute and fifty

112
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.519
<v Speaker 2>one seconds, but it's pretty powerful. We've cut it into

113
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>three segments, and I want to play those three segments,

114
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>starting off with some comments that again, this is the

115
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 2>United States attorney. For those of you who are not lawyers,

116
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the US Attorney is separate and apart from the Attorney general.

117
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>The Attorney General in Massachusetts is the head of law

118
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 2>enforcement in Massachusetts. The United States Attorney is the chief prosecutor.

119
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>And it's a very busy and a very important office,

120
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>and they prosecute lots of people, sometimes even politicians from

121
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.600
<v Speaker 2>both sides of the aisle. This is the US Attorney

122
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 2>the first third of her comments this morning, let us

123
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 2>go to cut thirty three A rob.

124
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 6>During a recent interview, Boston's Mayor Michelle wou made reckless

125
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:10.000
<v Speaker 6>and inflammatory statements regarding enforcement efforts made by federal immigration

126
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 6>authorities across the Commonwealth. Referring to federal agents as quote

127
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 6>secret police is offensive.

128
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 9>There are no secret police.

129
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 6>Ice agents, along with other federal law enforcement partners.

130
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 9>Are making immigration arrests. That is no secret.

131
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 6>They are arresting individuals who are here illegally, which is

132
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.519
<v Speaker 6>a violation of federal law. Every enforcement action is conducted

133
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 6>within the bounds of the Constitution and our laws, with oversight,

134
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:45.360
<v Speaker 6>legal justification, and accountability. To claim otherwise is a gross

135
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 6>misrepresentation and a disservice.

136
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 1>To the public.

137
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Now, I don't think that Mayor is going to take

138
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 2>back the comments that she made. But the language used

139
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>by the US Attorney LEA. Foley and inflammatory, I can't

140
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.279
<v Speaker 2>disagree with that. I just can't disagree with that because

141
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>there are bad people out there who would take that

142
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>language that the mayor used as if not permission or

143
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe maybe permission at minimum, license to perhaps due harm

144
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to these people who they may have described as reckless

145
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and inflammatory. The US Attorney Leo Foley from Massachusetts continues

146
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>in Cut thirty three b rob.

147
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 6>Federal agents in marked jackets and vests are masking their

148
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 6>faces because people like Mayor WU have created false narratives.

149
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 9>About their mission.

150
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 6>Federal agents and their children are being threatened, docks and assaulted.

151
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.200
<v Speaker 9>That is why they must hide their faces.

152
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 6>Furthermore, suggesting that federal law enforcement officers are quote snatching people.

153
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 9>Off the streets is also false.

154
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 6>It's offensive to the men and women who risk their

155
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 6>lives every day to uphold the rule of law.

156
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Again, what the US attorney is saying is that the

157
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.279
<v Speaker 2>mayor has engaged in rhetoric which is not disciplined, and

158
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 2>I think she's correct. Last part of the comment released

159
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:23.639
<v Speaker 2>today by the US Attorney Leo Foley, directed exactly precisely

160
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>at Mayor Will cut thirty three c rob.

161
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 6>On the contrary, every arrest or detention is pursuant to

162
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 6>and sanctioned by federal law. The US Attorney's Office stands

163
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 6>in support of our federal law enforcement partners, whose mission

164
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.360
<v Speaker 6>it is to protect.

165
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 9>The residence of Massachusetts.

166
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.960
<v Speaker 6>Regardless of the noise being generated by politicians who either

167
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 6>do not understand federal law or simply believe our nation's

168
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.039
<v Speaker 6>immigration laws should not be in force.

169
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.320
<v Speaker 9>We will not apologize for doing our job.

170
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 2>So that we invited the US Attorney to join us tonight,

171
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 2>I didn't expect that she would. I think that statement

172
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>speaks for itself. So now my question from my audience

173
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>is this has taken the fight between the federal government

174
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 2>and Mayor Wu to another level. To some extent, it's

175
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>going to work to the advantage of Mayor Wu in

176
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>her reelection bid here in Massachusetts, or rather in Boston,

177
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:32.320
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, Boston, Massachusetts. But obviously the federal government feels

178
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 2>at this point that they have no other choice. And

179
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.039
<v Speaker 2>again it's extraordinary. To the best of my knowledge, I

180
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>have never heard or at least in Massachusetts. The District

181
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>of Massachusetts heard of the US Attorney releasing a prepared

182
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:52.639
<v Speaker 2>statement for the purpose of calling on the carpet the

183
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>mayor of Boston or, in this case, a leading Democratic politician.

184
00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Here are the number six, one, seven, five, four, ten thirty,

185
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 2>six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty or triple

186
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>eight nine two, nine, ten thirty. Question is very simple.

187
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Who has the better of this argument? Uh, the US

188
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Attorney Lea Foley or Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. I think

189
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Wu's language is undisciplined, and I think she has made

190
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.080
<v Speaker 2>statements that she needs to apologize for. That's my thought.

191
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know what you think. And I thought

192
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>that the US Attorney today was particularly disciplined and very

193
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 2>specific in her language. She approached it very much as

194
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 2>a lawyer would, while Mayor Wu was speaking often either

195
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 2>from a script or off hand, in using language that

196
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.159
<v Speaker 2>a politician would. That's my analysis. I'd love to get

197
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>yours six one, seven, two, five, four ten thirty, six

198
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty back on Nightside

199
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:54.279
<v Speaker 2>right after this.

200
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.279
<v Speaker 1>It's Nightside with Dan Ray on radio.

201
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we have a the lines are drawn

202
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>here between Boston mayor and Michelle wou and the US

203
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Attorney Lea Foley. Uh.

204
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 3>This is this is a real battle. Uh.

205
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>And there may be some political implications in all of this,

206
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 2>as there often is.

207
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 3>But I want to know who you think is handling

208
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:27.080
<v Speaker 3>it properly. Let me go first up to Frank in Boston. Frank,

209
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.120
<v Speaker 3>you a first up this hour on nightside. Welcome.

210
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.399
<v Speaker 7>Yay, both sides are right. We are in a war

211
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:40.600
<v Speaker 7>that both sides and the war is being waged against

212
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 7>the United States of America and its constitution and its people.

213
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 7>Both sides need to talk. Both sides need to get

214
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 7>their opinions out there, and we need to fix this

215
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 7>mess here. So to say that neither side should be talked,

216
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.399
<v Speaker 7>neither side should be making that point, I think it

217
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:09.159
<v Speaker 7>puts one side and a disadvantage. Don't lay down and

218
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 7>put your head in the sand because you're afraid of

219
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:17.559
<v Speaker 7>the other side. You got to say something. You gotta

220
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 7>do something. Both sides. They got to say something. They

221
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.559
<v Speaker 7>gotta give us their point and give us an idea

222
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.919
<v Speaker 7>of what direction they want this nation to go.

223
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you this, I think that you could

224
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>not have a clearer indication of the position of both sides.

225
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 2>I think Michelle Wu has made it pretty clear if

226
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:39.919
<v Speaker 2>you come for anyone in Boston, then they're gonna have

227
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.679
<v Speaker 2>to deal with everyone in Boston. Those were paraphrasing her words.

228
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:48.080
<v Speaker 2>And Leo Foley, the US Attorney, is upset with some

229
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.799
<v Speaker 2>of the language that Wu has directed towards these federal agents.

230
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.879
<v Speaker 2>And you know what's happening is a lot of these

231
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>guys are getting docks. You know when they say docs,

232
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:00.320
<v Speaker 2>do you know what that means? It's a it's a

233
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 2>term that's kind of a recent term. Somehow they will

234
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 2>get the name and the address of where these folks

235
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.360
<v Speaker 2>live and they will put it up on websites, and

236
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 2>some of them feel that that puts them and their

237
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>families in danger.

238
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 7>Uh, well, see that's the that's the that's the thing here.

239
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 7>I don't know what that term is, but I don't

240
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.159
<v Speaker 7>see anything out there telling us that that is happening.

241
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.320
<v Speaker 7>This administration has a tendency to lie, lie, lie lot.

242
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 7>So this for them to be saying that and we

243
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.879
<v Speaker 7>ain't even seen it, I got it.

244
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:33.519
<v Speaker 8>This happened.

245
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Well it is.

246
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you this. I can tell you this.

247
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.679
<v Speaker 2>It is a practice that has been used.

248
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.399
<v Speaker 7>Uh yeah, but you've got to help.

249
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 2>You out, man. Let me help you out a little

250
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.399
<v Speaker 2>bit here. It is a practice that has been used

251
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>against UH by primarily by the extremists on both sides

252
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.639
<v Speaker 2>of the spectrum against the other side of the spectrum.

253
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 2>So doxing is a term that has been going on

254
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:01.600
<v Speaker 2>for a while.

255
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

256
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 2>As a matter of fact, there were the homes of

257
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 2>US Supreme Court justices, which for years and years and

258
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:13.159
<v Speaker 2>years have been kept very confidential. Uh started to become

259
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:18.759
<v Speaker 2>public record back oh six or seven of five or

260
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:23.600
<v Speaker 2>six years ago. So doc saying is something that is done, okay,

261
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's not nice because it impacts family members. But

262
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 2>that is I'm not saying. I'm not saying either US

263
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Attorney fully or mayor Woo were doing that. I'm not

264
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.440
<v Speaker 2>saying that, but some people on different sides are.

265
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 3>So that's that's it.

266
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 7>But that doesn't mean it's happened to these agents. There

267
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 7>have been instances, none that you explain that there have

268
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 7>been instances that have heard, but I haven't heard nothing

269
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:50.600
<v Speaker 7>going against these agents.

270
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, if I haven't a US attorney, I will tell

271
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.960
<v Speaker 3>you this. If I have some knowledge of the U

272
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.679
<v Speaker 3>S Attorney.

273
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, the US attorney is a large

274
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 2>enforcement prosecutor that is appointed by the president, whoever, whether

275
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:09.119
<v Speaker 2>it's a Democratic president or Republican president. U S attorneys

276
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 2>have done a very good job here, with a couple

277
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>of exceptions during during my time appointees of both Democratic

278
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>and Republican presidents. There's a pretty high high standard, uh

279
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.519
<v Speaker 2>that that U S Attorneys comply with. And if Lea Foley,

280
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 2>as a US attorney is saying that there are federal

281
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 2>agents whose identifications and whose home addresses have been docked doxed,

282
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I think you can take that to the bank. And

283
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.039
<v Speaker 2>that's what And she was most concerned about, go ahead.

284
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:42.960
<v Speaker 3>I didn't mean to interrupt your go ahead, Frank, and

285
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 3>give you a final one.

286
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.039
<v Speaker 7>I don't. I don't think her work should be taken

287
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 7>as truth. I don't. I don't. I think she is compromised.

288
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:54.759
<v Speaker 7>I think a lot of these officers that this administration

289
00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:58.720
<v Speaker 7>is appointed people to have been compromised.

290
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:02.720
<v Speaker 3>What I would suggest to you is I don't think

291
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 3>you know.

292
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 7>You, I mean, are wet all we got, dude? Look

293
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:11.400
<v Speaker 7>at the headstaff was the Defense Department? What's the name

294
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.440
<v Speaker 7>and Human and health blah blah blah blah blah.

295
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:16.319
<v Speaker 10>But we can go on.

296
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 7>A lot of them are unqualified, and they called.

297
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.319
<v Speaker 2>The departments again, you probably have qualifications. And the next

298
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:29.319
<v Speaker 2>time there's a Democrat, uh, look at, look at Frank.

299
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope that next time when your point of view

300
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.359
<v Speaker 2>prevails and takes the White House, and there will be

301
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 2>next time, I hope that you're nominated for one of

302
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 2>these positions, because obviously you're.

303
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.039
<v Speaker 7>I wouldn't motify it. I wouldn't want it because I'm

304
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:46.160
<v Speaker 7>not qualified. I wouldn't want a position that I'm not

305
00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:50.200
<v Speaker 7>qualified for because it will mess that everything up. And

306
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.960
<v Speaker 7>you got people's reputation, people's careers that you would affect.

307
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.000
<v Speaker 7>I wouldn't even I would not do that on.

308
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.160
<v Speaker 2>My tell stuff. Thank you for being honest, Frank, I think.

309
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.880

00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 2>of a conversation. Do you know anything about LEO qualifications?

312
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:17.000

<v Speaker 2>know what his military uh involvement has been? What he

315
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 2>what he did as a member of the active military.

316
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you know any of that or no? Are they

317
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.759
<v Speaker 2>just names to you? Why did you do me this favor?

318
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to challenge you. I'm going to shout, I'm

319
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 2>going to challenge you here, Frank, Okay, I'm going to

320
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.960
<v Speaker 2>judge you. I want you to to get on your

321
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>computer and check.

322
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.599
<v Speaker 7>Out I don't have a computer.

323
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:48.119
<v Speaker 3>No, you do, you don't, I do not. I'm sorry.

324
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.279
<v Speaker 2>We'll go to the library and use a computer and

325
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:55.599
<v Speaker 2>check out Leofole's qualifications. Check out Pete has hagg Seth's qualifications.

326
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.640
<v Speaker 2>They are eminently qualified for the positions that they're served.

327
00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:02.599
<v Speaker 2>With their serving, you might disagree with their positions, Frank.

328
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.319
<v Speaker 7>You well, I see.

329
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.559
<v Speaker 2>The only advantage I have, Frank, Frank, The only advantage

330
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>I have is I know what their qualifications are. I've

331
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:15.359
<v Speaker 2>looked at their their their curricula VTAI, I've looked at

332
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.759
<v Speaker 2>their resumes. I understand what their qualifications are. I think

333
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 2>if you go and you look at their qualifications, you

334
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 2>are still going to disagree with positions they take, but

335
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.599
<v Speaker 2>you're you're not going to be criticizing their qualifications, is

336
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:29.599
<v Speaker 2>the point I'm trying to make.

337
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.079
<v Speaker 3>That's all.

338
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I hate, I hate to confuse you with

339
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 2>facts and things like that, Frank, but I have no choice.

340
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 2>I got to run. I hit the newscast. Appreciate you call,

343
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.759

344
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 2>to sit here and allow people's qualifications to be dragged

345
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.519
<v Speaker 2>through the mud by people who haven't checked those qualifications out.

346
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 3>It's as simple as that. Back on Nightside after this.

<v Speaker 11>ride the twelve people there and cast for like three hundreds.

374
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:24.119
<v Speaker 11>She got a law firm from out of Washington, DC.

375
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:25.359
<v Speaker 11>It cost all that money.

376
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 2>It's about six It was about six hundred. It was

377
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:29.759
<v Speaker 2>about six hundred thousand dollars all.

378
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.440
<v Speaker 11>In, I believe, right, I couldn't believe it. You told

379
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.160
<v Speaker 11>me that, and I looked it up for the computer,

380
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 11>and you definitely telling the cheap un believe it. But anyway,

381
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 11>I think Ms wool Uh, you know, I think she's wrong. Man,

382
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.680
<v Speaker 11>Like you said, you're an attorney, you know, you know,

383
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.640
<v Speaker 11>and and uh the lady I didn't. I don't know

384
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 11>about her backfin, but I take your word for it

385
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:53.759
<v Speaker 11>because you're an attorney, and.

386
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no she is.

387
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.519
<v Speaker 2>She is a very impressive background worked in driving practice,

388
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 2>and now she's a United States attorney and I'll tell

389
00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:06.160
<v Speaker 2>you she's fearless. She got out there today. I've never

390
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.960
<v Speaker 2>seen a US attorney do what she did today. And

391
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:12.960
<v Speaker 2>she basically stepped up and said she felt she had

392
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 2>to protect the officers in the field who were basically

393
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>making the arrests that her office would would have to prosecute.

394
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.200
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I I would want to I would

395
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 2>want to work for a leader like that, to be

396
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.559
<v Speaker 2>really honest with you, Yes.

397
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:32.599
<v Speaker 11>And I think that Michelle Woo. But you know it's

398
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 11>going to come to a head. Well, I really think

399
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:37.119
<v Speaker 11>it's going to come to a head and one of

400
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.799
<v Speaker 11>these mayors is going to get arrested because uh and

401
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:42.200
<v Speaker 11>I think Michelle Woo was the leading and she's a

402
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 11>lawyer like you, like you kind of let them go

403
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 11>before that. Lady graduated from Harvard, right.

404
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:50.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah she was. Yeah, she's a Harvard Law school graduate.

405
00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that she practiced law, to be honest

406
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Speaker 2>with you, but I don't know she practiced any law.

407
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:59.359
<v Speaker 2>She was a member of the city council and then

408
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.799
<v Speaker 2>she ran ran from mayor, so I don't know that.

409
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:05.839
<v Speaker 2>But but it doesn't it doesn't matter. She went to

410
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 2>law school. She has a law degree. I'm fine with

411
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 2>that her she has. She has an impressive set of credentials.

412
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:13.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm not in any.

413
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Way, shape or for I just don't want people like

414
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the fellow before you Frank was was talking about their credentials.

415
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:24.400
<v Speaker 3>He's never looked at their credentials in like.

416
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.680
<v Speaker 11>You said, Peter blag with a mob and infumps.

417
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:28.359
<v Speaker 3>That is correct.

418
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 11>I don't understand. I don't understand why people say that

419
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.279
<v Speaker 11>these people are unqualified. I ain't like just learning when

420
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 11>I was. They've got a bunch of people, you know,

421
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:39.519
<v Speaker 11>no kind of no kind of backbone like clarying Bondy,

422
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:43.039
<v Speaker 11>I mean, the ladies a crosscut. I mean, come on, man,

423
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.200
<v Speaker 11>I mean just because you don't like these people.

424
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Like exactly, yeah, I mean yeah, It's like it's like, look,

425
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.039
<v Speaker 2>I can root against the Yankees and root for the

426
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox, but I can tell you I know that Judges,

427
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Judges is a heck of a baseball player. You know,

428
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:05.039
<v Speaker 2>we rooted, we rooted against Derek Jeter for years, but

429
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 2>what a great you know player he was, and I

430
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>just think that's what sports teaches you and I you know,

431
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:16.359
<v Speaker 2>it's the ignorant fan who would say, oh that Genie's

432
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 2>a bomb, he's a boom.

433
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, you never hit fifty. You know, we'd say

434
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:22.400
<v Speaker 3>that's not always in his job was? You know?

435
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 11>Anyway, he's just so so I mean, then, look, let

436
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.319
<v Speaker 11>me say this to you about missus. Did I hear

437
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 11>her correctly? And I think was when one another lady

438
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.680
<v Speaker 11>Nancy Mason's asking her, what are you thinking about the

439
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.920
<v Speaker 11>wrestled wakes a child molester? She said that. She said no,

440
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.039
<v Speaker 11>she said no to her, No.

441
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.920
<v Speaker 3>No, no, what no what you know what she said no?

442
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.599
<v Speaker 2>What happened was, uh, Congresswoman May said, do you think

443
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:58.279
<v Speaker 2>public safety is threatened when a child molester is arrested?

444
00:25:58.359 --> 00:25:58.920
<v Speaker 3>And she said no.

445
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 2>So so she's basically agreeing and saying, Okay, arrest the murder,

446
00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:08.319
<v Speaker 2>arrest the child molester, but don't go out and then

447
00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 2>make a speech. When you come for one, you're coming

448
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 2>for all of us. Because I don't want to be

449
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.319
<v Speaker 2>associated with child molesters and murderers. You know, That's that's

450
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:18.359
<v Speaker 2>what I think she was trying to.

451
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.039
<v Speaker 11>Say and I think the thing, you know, because I'm

452
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 11>just kind of will it's getting really, you know, everybody's.

453
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Going, well, we had we had a democratic mayor up

454
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 2>here before Michelle Wou, Mardy Walsh, who was a strong

455
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:40.039
<v Speaker 2>union guy, strong labor guy. He eventually ended up in

456
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the in the cabinet of President Biden uh and is

457
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:48.759
<v Speaker 2>now the player representative. He's that he represents the the

458
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:54.119
<v Speaker 2>NHL players union. Yeah right, but but he was great mayor,

459
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:59.759
<v Speaker 2>great mayor, well in touch with the city. I gotta

460
00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you, I think if Bartie Walsh ever came back

461
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 2>and ran against Michelle Wou, Michelle Wu would have more

462
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>than than she could handle.

463
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:10.960
<v Speaker 3>In my in my opinion, could be gone. And there's

464
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:12.640
<v Speaker 3>there's there's a candidate.

465
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Up here, you know, Josh Kraft is running for mayor

466
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.839
<v Speaker 2>in Boston, the son of Bob Craft, the owner of

467
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.599
<v Speaker 2>the New England Patriots. So we'll see how it's how

468
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.400
<v Speaker 2>that race, how this race, it doesn't doesn't. We'll get

469
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:28.240
<v Speaker 2>settled to early early November. William, you'll have a you'll

470
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 2>have a front row seat here on night side.

471
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.119
<v Speaker 11>Okay, okay, And let me say this what man, just

472
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 11>like they was talking about what's his name, Don Robert Kennedy.

473
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 11>He's another qualified person, even though he got it chicking

474
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.000
<v Speaker 11>back because there was a guy on the radio down

475
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.160
<v Speaker 11>here and they calling to learn her on that. You know, well,

476
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 11>I don't think that was what but UH learned how

477
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.079
<v Speaker 11>the problems because I heard him, so he was in

478
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.519
<v Speaker 11>he's in the coming again and he well, you.

479
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Know, Marty Walsh had been an alcoholic. I have more

480
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 2>respect for people who have been able to confront one

481
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 2>of those demons and recover from it. I have a

482
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:13.200
<v Speaker 2>friend of mine who I've talked about in the air

483
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 2>who have tremendous respect for He was dealing with heroin

484
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:22.000
<v Speaker 2>and and I knew him and uh and and I

485
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:24.039
<v Speaker 2>spent a lot of time talking to him, and and

486
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:26.920
<v Speaker 2>he eventually has got himself squared away. Uh and and

487
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 2>you have to you have to have tremendous respect for people.

488
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like someone who gets sick and somehow is able

489
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:35.480
<v Speaker 2>to get themselves on the road to recovery.

490
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:36.279
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

491
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 3>Look, you got to have respect for people like that. William.

492
00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 3>You know I did not. I did not know that.

493
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>But but you've just gone up in my book. Actually,

494
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:50.759
<v Speaker 2>you were pretty far up in my book anyway, William,

495
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:53.519
<v Speaker 2>So you gotta go up much higher. All right, man,

496

<v Speaker 2>on night Side right after this.

503
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:18.359
<v Speaker 1>You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's

504
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

505
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's keep rolling here, going to go to Georgia

506
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 2>and Arlington. George, you are next time nights. I appreciate

507
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:25.640
<v Speaker 2>your patience, George.

508
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 3>Go right ahead.

509
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.279
<v Speaker 10>Good evening, Dan, Thank George for doing this show.

510
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:29.839
<v Speaker 3>Thanks.

511
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 10>I agree with you that the majority of the federal

512
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:39.799
<v Speaker 10>attorneys have been very high level, high achieving, very focused people.

513
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.880
<v Speaker 10>And I also agree as you said that I think

514
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 10>the majority of the people in this country believe that

515
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:50.240
<v Speaker 10>the criminals who are threats to us should be the

516
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:54.680
<v Speaker 10>ones that are being taken. Unfortunately, that's not what's been

517
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:58.759
<v Speaker 10>happening here. We've seen people snatched off courts in front

518
00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:02.039
<v Speaker 10>of the court. We've seen e tear rolls. Uh, we've

519
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.880
<v Speaker 10>seen grad students. There no threat to any of us. Uh,

520
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:08.359
<v Speaker 10>if you and I are arrested, Dan, Uh, unless we've

521
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:10.960
<v Speaker 10>got a gun in the middle of a creating, you know,

522
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 10>doing a crime. We're gonna have somebody that has a badge,

523
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:16.839
<v Speaker 10>that has a name on the badge of the uniform

524
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:19.519
<v Speaker 10>and has an arrest war that's not happening.

525
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me let me let me make this George,

526
00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Just so you know, I was very critical of the

527
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.839
<v Speaker 2>arrest of the Tough's graduate student. I said it on

528
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 2>the air, so people know what I said. I do

529
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.960
<v Speaker 2>tell I will tell you this. I thought that that

530
00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 2>was and I said it at the time, horrific optics.

531
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.519
<v Speaker 2>And I you know, I read the op ed piece

532
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:47.759
<v Speaker 2>that she wrote for the Tough newspaper and it was

533
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>it was pablem There was nothing in there that uh

534
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:54.319
<v Speaker 2>that was offensive in my opinion. Do I think that

535
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>she's inclined favorably towards Palestinians, Yes, but I don't think

536
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.720
<v Speaker 2>she should have been a I will tell you when

537
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:04.519
<v Speaker 2>she was arrested, because I've looked at the video many times,

538
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:08.759
<v Speaker 2>the ice officers showed her a badge and identified themselves.

539
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I could not hear them telling them telling her who

540
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.480
<v Speaker 2>they were, but I could tell from the observation. They

541
00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.640
<v Speaker 2>stopped in front of her, held up the badge and

542
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:21.640
<v Speaker 2>she was listening. And I'm sure they said we're Ice officers.

543
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:26.200
<v Speaker 2>You're under arrest. I'm certain of that. Okay, So the

544
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 2>eighteen year old kid, I think that that was a mistake.

545
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Now is the kid here legally?

546
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.799
<v Speaker 3>No, he was not born here. He's not here legally.

547
00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:39.960
<v Speaker 3>They were looking for the father.

548
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:43.519
<v Speaker 2>They were looking for the father, and they I saw

549
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the father did a video which was released.

550
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:48.240
<v Speaker 3>To the TV news stations.

551
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I think the father should go down and say, hey, look,

552
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 2>you want me release my son. I would not be

553
00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:57.599
<v Speaker 2>sitting at home knowing my son was in some sort

554
00:31:57.599 --> 00:31:59.240
<v Speaker 2>of an ice detention center.

555
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:04.200
<v Speaker 10>You're right, and and what's what's happened here? You know? Man,

556
00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:09.519
<v Speaker 10>we certainly used rhetoric in a political speech and certainly went.

557
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:10.000
<v Speaker 7>Over the line.

558
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 10>There list a folly house, However, used rhetoric that was

559
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:17.359
<v Speaker 10>just as serious, perhaps more damaging than that. The fact is, Dan,

560
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 10>we're democracy, We're America, United States of America. Uh No,

561
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:30.759
<v Speaker 10>no tyrants, you know, no teams and law here.

562
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.960
<v Speaker 3>You loaded You used a pretty loaded term there. Who's

563
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 3>the who's the gestapo?

564
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.359
<v Speaker 10>We're talking about the way these guys go out. It

565
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 10>dan taking people. The poor guy that that that that

566
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.960
<v Speaker 10>actually was here legally down I think it was New Bedford.

567
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.960
<v Speaker 10>They smashed the car windows. There's no need of that,

568
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 10>there's no need of the way that doesn't agree with you.

569
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.559
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you, But the vast majority and and

570
00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:59.440
<v Speaker 2>mistakes should be corrected.

571
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:00.480
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you.

572
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.240
<v Speaker 2>There are people arrested in this country all the time

573
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:08.759
<v Speaker 2>and charge incorrectly with crimes. Okay, you're talking to a

574
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 2>reporter who spent fifteen years trying to get four guys

575
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 2>out of prison who were intentionally and wrongfully convicted by

576
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:16.880
<v Speaker 2>corrupt FBI agents.

577
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:18.799
<v Speaker 3>I think you know that story. I don't.

578
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:20.480
<v Speaker 10>I hope I don't know that story.

579
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, thank you, thank you.

580
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:30.119
<v Speaker 2>They are mistakes, but there are mistakes. But there's a

581
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:32.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of bad dudes out there, and they're not going

582
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to go into those places dressed, you know, in bow ties,

583
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:39.279
<v Speaker 2>bow ties and clown hats. They're they're going into some

584
00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 2>situations they don't know what's on the other side of

585
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:41.759
<v Speaker 2>the door.

586
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:43.720
<v Speaker 3>At at five o'clock in the morning.

587
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:46.079
<v Speaker 10>That's why I'm not arguing any of that, Dan, I'm

588
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 10>ideing what we're seeing of lee videos taken by people

589
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.759
<v Speaker 10>on the street of the way things are being done.

590
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 10>And least the foling's apologize to that and stop it

591
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:57.799
<v Speaker 10>or resigned. There's no need of doing going things where

592
00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:01.559
<v Speaker 10>they are, Dan. The administration lost Trump and the people

593
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:05.799
<v Speaker 10>of Washington are now going after the Afghanistans who risk

594
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.960
<v Speaker 10>their lives, the state servicemen right.

595
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Now.

596
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:11.920
<v Speaker 10>They want to them.

597
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:15.119
<v Speaker 3>I guess what. That's a mistake. I will share with

598
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:15.559
<v Speaker 3>you that.

599
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've agreed with you on a number, but that

600
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:20.639

<v Speaker 3>I go right ahead.

611
00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:50.280
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean this shouldn't have been no surprise to anyone.

612
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.519
<v Speaker 8>Donald Trump, in the run up to the election in

613
00:34:54.599 --> 00:35:01.599
<v Speaker 8>November of last year, studied categorically that if he was elected,

614
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:05.119
<v Speaker 8>the southern border would be closed and there would be

615
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:11.719
<v Speaker 8>vast deportations. Yes, okay, all right, so and they and

616
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:18.079
<v Speaker 8>Tom Holman the borders are had Carrot had stated clearly

617
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:23.400
<v Speaker 8>that they were going particularly hard at the so called

618
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:27.280
<v Speaker 8>sanctuary states and the cities within those sanctuaries.

619
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:32.320
<v Speaker 2>That's absolutely correct, you're absolutely And by the way, by

620
00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the way, when President Obama was president of the United States,

621
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>he oversaw the deportation of three million people.

622
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:48.960
<v Speaker 8>Well but so before before you're gonna leave me, I

623
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:53.800
<v Speaker 8>just have to say that what Michelle Wu stated was

624
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:59.159
<v Speaker 8>app was absolutely apprehensible to say.

625
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.840
<v Speaker 3>That think you mean, I think you meant reprehensible.

626
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:07.519
<v Speaker 8>I'm sorry, you're right. Reprehensible to state that set the

627
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:13.360
<v Speaker 8>police were snatch people off the street. Michelle, this isn't

628
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:18.559
<v Speaker 8>North Korea, this isn't Venezuela, this isn't Cuba. This is

629
00:36:18.679 --> 00:36:20.400
<v Speaker 8>the United States of America.

630
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, again, there have been some rest they have been

631
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:29.639
<v Speaker 2>which remained, which in my opinion, go get the bad guys,

632
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.519
<v Speaker 2>get the real bad armbres first and then.

633
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Moved down.

634
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:39.400
<v Speaker 10>Still here, but when when the eighteen year.

635
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Old high school student becomes the focus there, losing the

636
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:46.360
<v Speaker 2>argument at that point, That's what.

637
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:49.559
<v Speaker 8>They wanted his. They wanted his old man.

638
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.760
<v Speaker 3>I know I'm very familiar to case Mark.

639
00:36:51.840 --> 00:36:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm up against it, and I gotta let you ride,

00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:55.519
