across the state. >> greta: the congressman said he wants president obama to fight the new law. arizona state senator pierce joins us live, he sponsored the controversial bill. what provoked or prompted to you sponsor this bill in the first place? >> rule of law, greta. the stories they tell, the outrageous fabrications and myths is unbelievable in in bill we've mirrored federal law. it is illegal to enter or remain in this country in violation of federal law. we've mirrored that. nobody has he raised 4th and 14th amendments we put profiling as an illegal issue in the bill. we could do tie it. we made sure people can't racial profile. these are the most outrageous stories. what we've done, very simply, i've watched over the years it get more and more violent. number two in the world in kidnappings, home invasion, carjacking, identity theft in the nation. officer atkins, officer martin, officer eagle, rob just murdered on the border. i just had a hearing for the ranchers on the border. half a day hearing on the senate. fences cut, cattle slaughtered, dogs killed, they are fearful, they pray for daylight they hear noises, scared to come out enough is enough. we are a nation of laws. all i've done, simple, removed the handcuffs. i've been in law enforcement most of my life. have two boys in law enforcement. i believe handcuffs are a great tool when they are on the right people. we are going to take them off law enforcement. they have policies that restrict law enforcement's ability to enforce these laws, they are illegal under federal law to have those policies. we are going to remove them in the stay of arizona, officers can ask and act like any other crime. >> greta: so that i understand how it is implemented. if someone commit as armed robbery and the police officer sees it, the police officer chases down the armed robbery makes the ans are. if someone is standing on a street corner waiting for a bus, does the police officer, under your law, have the authority to approach the person and say, are you a citizen or not? >> that's a great question. absolutely one of the myths to get thrown around. law enforcement has no more authority today if this law was effective today, than they had yesterday. it must be a lawful contact, we honor 4th and 14th amendments like i said. we've written into the bill you can't use race as an issue for pulling people over. you have to have a legitimate -- it says in the bill like any other law. they knew these would be the games played by the -- they are not worried about racial profiling. they are scared to death the laws are going to be enforced. it is illegal we are going to enforce the law. all we've done is take the handcuffs off. >> greta: if someone is doing something sinister like casing a joint, messing with a lock on a door a police officer can approach and ask reasonable questions. >> absolutely. >> greta: if the person is standing at the bus stop doing nothing wrong, even if the person might look like -- may look hispanic for instance, the police officer has no right just to sim play approach that person and begin the inquiry, is that the way the law works? >> greta, absolutely. illegal is not a race. it's a crime. there is -- we have civil rights provision the arizona constitution. we have civil rights provisions, u.s. constitution, we honor those. i'm a limited government guy. i would never, never pass any bill that constituted any abuse of anyone's civil rights. we are talking the handcuffs off of law enforcement allowing them to ask reasonable questions if they have reason to believe, like any other crime. it takes a lawful contact, reasonably and probable cause. we put guns on our police officers they make life and death decisions and they are my hometown heroes, by the way. yet, we are afraid because 95% of the time, -- we are afraid to let them pick up the phone and call ice this is the most outrageous thing in the world. the bill is carefully crafted. puts it into state law. we are making it clear by moving that federal statute over. >> greta: i hope you join us again. we are out of time this is a continuing controversy, as you mentioned. >> i would love to. greta, thank you, god bless you. >> greta: thank you sir. the immigration battle is not just in arizona. the town of farmers branch, texas in a fight in 2007 the town passed a law making it illegal for landlords to rent to illegal immigrants. since a judge has thrown out that ordinance saying only the federal government can enact immigration laws. the fight goes on. mayor tim o'hare joins us live, good evening. >> good evening, how how are you? >> greta: i'll well. it sounds like the statute got bounced the judge didn't say whether she agreed or disagreed with the concept of having illegal people in the united states. but rather the state doesn't have the i authority or the city, it is a federal government matter, is that a correct synopsis? >> yes in 2007 farmers branch residents voted on an ordinance similar to this one by 68-32% wanting us to go forward with an ordinance to address renting property to illegal aliens. this judge jane boyle, u.s. district court judge ruled that ordinance 2952, a more recent version was unconstitutional and our council voted last week to appeal that to the fifth circuit court of appeals. >> greta: what provoked or prompted to you pass this ordinance in the first place? was there an episode or incident? >> the first one that comes to mind we had a 2-year-old little girl killed in a drive-by shooting in 2006 and the two people now in jail for that crime were illegal aliens. we had residents coming forward asking us to do something about the problem. farmers branch is a beautiful place, suburb of dallas. but illegal immigration has taken its toll on our city from property value standpoints to school district to shopping areas. people in our town said we've had enough, please do something about it. >> greta: have you asked the federal government, i know neighboring states of arizona, senators mccain and senator kyle have asked for help from the federal government, most recently 3,000 national guard. have you asked for help from the government on this immigration issue? >> what we have done is we've joined the cap program, the criminal alien program. we've had a police officer trained under the 287-g program both are federal initiatives that invite states and local law enforcement folks to get involved in addressing the problem. we've been at that since about 2006. i can tell you that in 2006, 2007, 2008, anywhere from 14 to 20% of the people in our local jail in any given month were in the country illegally. through the efforts that we've made, that number today is now down to somewhere between 3 and 5% on a monthly basis. >> greta: so is the federal government helping? i guess you have arizona passing the statute and it almost seems like the states along the border are saying the feds aren't doing something so we are going to do something whether it is constitutional or not will be sorted out in the courts. almost like begging the federal government, do something about immigration, illegal immigration. >> get dark the reason that we're where we are today is because the federal government has failed to address the issue. part of the reason is they don't have the manpower. what you see in washington today, they don't have the political will to do it. people throughout the country, especially in texas, not just farmers branch, but throughout the state of texas, all along the border states, people are fed up with the problem and getting states and cities involved is what is going to make a difference. it is like any other federal crime. when you have crimes going on in your town in your state, it's a joint cooperative effort between federal authorities, state authorities and local authorities to keep us safe. that's what we are trying to do. >> greta: the statute the district court says you don't have the authority now it is being appealed to the 5th circuit. we will continue to follow that mayor, thank you. >> my pleasure, any time. >> greta: next, senate democrats get smacked down. what happened?

>> they taped my conversations for six weeks. our government came in the wire tapes in these telephones and a lot of other telephones. i've taken the position from the beginning that i'm innocent of anything and everything they are false lay caution me of and a lot of the truth can be found in those tapes. from the beginning i said play all the tapes. my lawyers were instructed by know challenge the government. we waived the opportunity to challenge the tapes, happily and challenged the government to say allow both sides to play any tape they want. they should play any tape they want and let us play any tape we want. the government declined to comment. they snuck into court to get the judge to rule all the tapes should not be played. this case in so many ways is upside down. mr. fitz jarrell the prosecutor invades the sanctity of my home. those are his tapes he's going to court to suppress his own tapes. i'm the one saying play them all. because i note the truth is on those tapes and will showy did nothing wrong. >> greta: you say he snuck into court you had no notice the prosecutor was going into court and say we only want to play these tapes? >> way it was buried in the body of a motion filled with other things was an incipient request to suggest that not all the tapes be her. they even misled and said the judge ruled that all the tapes wouldn't be played which was not the case at the time they filed the motion. >> greta: has your lawyer heard all these tapes? >> we had tapes for months. >> greta: you have copies? >> yes. i've been consistent from the beginning. from the moment i was false lay accused, i said long before, we had access to the tapes, play all the tapes. i know, who i am and i would not do the things they are suggesting that i did. and i know that not withstanding, some language on the tapes the use of pro fan which i have apologized for. i didn't know -- the use of profanity which i have apologized for. >> greta: it is not a crime. any idea how many hours of tapes the prosecution intends to play at your june 3rd trial? >> i don't know. what i do know is they have in a very dishonest way taken selective snippets of conversation out of context purposely misleading the people and providing false information. >> greta: they've identified what tapes they are going to play? you know what they are going to play? >> they've quoted some of them. they've leased a couple. and they've done it in a way where snippets of conversations were taken out of context. if you are allowed to listen to the ref of the conversation, i can't comment on what is on the tapes. the government that taped me went into court to say i can't what is on them nor can i allow to you take a look at them. >> greta: a gag order ton this part of it, the contents of the tape? >> correct. the government sought that gag order. they've been free to take snippets of conversation out when they news designed to mislead the public. >> greta: hasn't the judge said okay governor blagojevich you identify what tapes you want heard and i'll consider it so it is not a complete bar? >> correct. the judge seems to be a fair and thoughtful man. he's obviously very smart, intelligent man who understands and knows the law. he has said two things. he said one publicly, if i testify that he wail will you us to play the tapes we want to play. >> greta: just if you testify, not for a doctrine of complete hypothetically, a tape is put on that has half a thought and it is your position that half of thought falsely convoys a message. are you allowed to play the entire thought without having to take the witness stand? >> i don't know that yet. the judge has said that if i testify, which will, by the way, he will allow us to play the tapes that we ask for. this is as i've been told by my attorneys. the judge said in the last court day i was there because i challenged the prosecutor to be there to explain why he's preventing all the tapes from being heard? the judge said that -- instructed my lawyers to submit to him the different tapes that we would be requesting to be heard in court. so, i'm cautiously optimistic and hopeful he will say yes. >> greta: what is the prosecution's opposition? do they think you are going to waste a lot of time and play 400 conversations for the -- and bore the jury to death or do they have a sinister purpose to evade, confuse or do something with the jury? >> i believe the prosecution is trying to cover-up their miss deeds. >> greta: which disdeeds -- which miss deeds? >> they arrested a sitting governor and false lay accused him of things he didn't do. in 2008 in is what mr. fitzgerald did he used and quoted from the tapes from snippets of the tapes to suggest that was the basis for arresting a governor in a state like illinois, unprecedented. and he did it, he said and i'm quoting, that he was doing to stop a crime spree. the reality is when people hear the whole truth and hear what was on those conversations the days and weeks leading up to those acts by the government, by the prosecutors there was no crime spree, he lied. >> greta: why just for the sake of lying or something more sinister? not that lying isn't sinister. >> i believe the effort to prevent all the tapes being played is designed to keep justice from being heard in court as it is to cover up their wrongdoing and miss deeds. to suggest you should -- to arrest a sitting governor to state in a press conference where the whole world is listening that you have a governor trying to sell a senate seat for money which the allegation he made at the press conversation that he had heard conversations in my home where my little girls are sleeping invade the privacy of my home to say they had to stop the crime spree it is a flat out lie. the tapes will truth is. i have said from the beginning play all the tapes. why is my accuser is trying to prevent the full truth from being heard? i believe part of it is because he's covering up the fact that he told this big lie that foreseeably lead to a chain of events that would remove a governor from office that would undo the will of a people, undo an election and he doesn't ever want anybody to know that's what he did. there's a smoking gun on these tapes that smoking gun is directed and pointed at the prosecutor. >> greta: next the question we want answered why does former governor blagojevich want to call president obama to the witness stand?

>> senator harry reid, senator menendez, then congressman rahm emanuel days after the election right here from this room. several other people about potential scenarios on the senate seat. >> greta: a lot of the conversations about the senate seat maybe some that aren't on tape but a lot are or should be because they are done by telephone? >> most of the conversations i was engaged in during that six week period had been tape recorded. >> greta: you mentioned president obama. you have filed notice to the court that would you like to subpoena him. and you have enumerated a number of reasons. what is it that you think senator obama -- president obama, then senate obama, could offer you at trial on june 3rd that would be helpful to your case? >> i think president obama can help prove my innocence. >> greta: how? >> before anybody says i'm interested in bringing everybody down with me. that's not the case, i've done nothing wrong. what i'm interested in is for the truth to come out neither did i do anything wrong, president obama didn't do anything wrong. the senators that i talked to didn't do anything wrong either. they should come into court and tell the truth as they know it. swear on the holy bible as i'm looking forward to do -- >> greta: i got that the judge is going to say how is president obama going to help your case? tell me how. >> again, a lot of evidence and information that i'm prohibited by court order, because it is under seal to tell you. so there's relevance connected to that >> greta: in the pleading your lawyers talked about a conversation in december '08, a conversation president obama called you? >> again, i can't -- because of the court order and me filing the -- following the law i can't comment specifically on those telephone conversations. my lawyers filed motions in court. they redacted, as far as i understand they redacted the substance of those there. was a computer glitch apparently that made some of this stuff unwittingly public -- the media found it. so, -- >> greta: you see that still as part of the seal? >> it is still part of seal. get what is the bredth of the gag order what can you or can't talk about? >> i can't talk about the evidence that we have and we know that is currently under seal which is as far as i know everything. i can tell you independently what i recollect. >> greta: can you tell me independently what recollect about the conversation you had with president obama in december of '08? >> again, i don't think i can. i don't think i should in that particular case. president obama and i, i can recall independently, spoke at the governor's event at independence hall in philadelphia, days before i was arrested. >> greta: in person? >> in person. and a lot of other governors. >> greta: was it about the senate seat, generally? >> i don't think i should say what we talked about. it will call -- >> greta: if it is not about the senate seat i have a hard time figuring out why he would be a witness that the court is going to allow you to call. the court ought to let you play any tapes that in any way ex-pull -- ex-pull -- exculpate you. the one thing the court won't do, let you call someone who doesn't have anything to benefit you. >> again, there's information and there's evidence that is under seal. i'm prohibited by a court order from specifically talking about those things -- >> greta: even from what you recollect? >> i feel like if i start going into substance of conversations it is a slippery slope and i might inadvertently cross the line. >> greta: what is the line? what does the gag order say you can and can't do?
