with the help of the f.b.i. hostage negotiation team, those tense hours finally ended. but at one point, there was a lot of very understandable concern that he might have had bombs strapped to his body. but they were able to negotiate with him. then the bloodd and wounded suspect was wheeled into the ambulance and a city and a nation began the process of exhaling for the first time in a week. and celebrating after an exhausting 102 hours of searching for that 19-year-old. the celebration on the boston commons, chants of usa, usa. watch. usa! usa! usa! usa! martha: what a moment that was. molly line reported and kept us up to speed on every development as it unfolded. she joins me now live this morning from watertown. good morning, molly
department of justice that makes that final decision. martha: all right. so there you have that. let s bring in fox news legal analyst peter johnson, jr. peter, welcome. how are you? martha: that s the u.s. attorney on this case in boston. she says it s too early to talk about death penalty. i was really surprised and disturbed as an american and as a lawyer in watching that last night. you couldn t think of a more weak insip mid remark that she was making. the charges that will be filed in this case, i haven t seen them, but i can approximate what they are are death penalty charges under federal law, including using and conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction. that carries the death penalty. now martha: she could have just said that. she could have said, clearly this is an attempt to kill americans on american soil. it would be my understanding that all of that would fall under death penalty, right? but we re going to start under federal law. the attorney gener
scene here on boylston street. martha: they re great people. they have a great spirit and i think that you probably your feet are going to leave a mark on that corner and they re going to call it bill hemmer s corner from now on cause we ve been watching you in that spot throughout the course of the week. you ve done a fantastic job of bringing this story to us. we look forward to getting you back here at home in new york. but what a week. what a week it has been. so many questions still remain for that 19-year-old and the interrogators have their work cut out and a big story in the coming days will be what they can learn and how much they can get out of him in terms of the information, bill. bill: yeah. very true. they picked him up. they picked up a trail a quarter mile from our position here. you re very well stated about how they go forward and how they sort this out. dave from the boston herald stated it pretty well. we need answers here.
f.b.i. in new york and miami and denver and is now president of the gavin group. good to have you with us here, sir. thank you. martha: bill, we ve heard about the great stories of the f.b.i. hostage rescue team. we know that they went in and did this final negotiation with him around the boat which led to his capture. take us through a little bit of how you believe that probably worked. i think it probably worked from a standpoint that this one individual was, in fact, pretty well-worn out by the time they discovered him in the boat. when you had over 200 rounds of ammunition fired at the car and his brother dead, there was no doubt in my mind and we talked about it a few days ago that probably had a few holes in him from that and that took him took a lot of the spunk out of his light. he went and fired some ammunition during the course of the apprehension, but he was pretty well-worn out and it made the negotiations that saved his
place is a bad deal for the american public. okay? that s why a lot of people aren t using it. it was a giant tax hike to the american economy and premiums have been going up a ton. so we re looking at making the system more competitive so people can actually afford it. we first heard counter part said airports all over the world have to step up aviation security because there s this threat. this is the product of a months long discussion, an interagency process that resulted in sanctions. i m wondering if you, sir, are convinced that the national security risk, are you satisfied that the security risk outweighs any potential economic risk if, for example, certain airlines cut off or certain airports cut off if they don t comply? let me just say i can think of nobody better than general kelly to protect our country in this position. again, i have had the
