Bill american tourists arrested in the tiny island of Turks And Caicos facing more than a decade behind bars. Ammunition found in his luggage on the way home from a Family Vacation and about to learn his fate as u. S. Lawmakers fight to bring home the married father of two. There are four other americans detained on the island and more before all that as well. A new hour starts now. Im bill hemmer, dana has the day off today and hope she has an awesome weekend. Sandra im sandra smith. The Sentence Hearing is getting under way right now and as he gets set for this hearing, another detainee tyler, spoke to fox news digital about how he is holding up. It is scary and uncertain. It is just a rollercoaster. I mean, you just have a mix of emotions. Yesterday was very emotional for me and my wife and it will get that way again when we have a sentencing date and have to go into the courtroom to figure out what my fate is going to be. Bill you have a congressman out of pennsylvania representing one of the defendants confronted blinken over his handling of the case and said this. It is my estimation that your department is weak, feckless and incompetent at best. Sandra Gillian Turner is live at the State Department. Whats the latest on this . This is so shocking for all of us following this story what theyre going through. Brian is this american tourist now facing a minimum of 12 years behind bars as you mentioned. Right now any moment he is about to learn his fate at this hearing thats getting underway inside Turks And Caicos. He is charged with unintentionally carrying ammo with him while traveling in the island nation. Look at this. He is now just one of five americans who are detained right now facing similar charges. He along with ryan from oklahoma, schar eid yeah of florida say theyve become unlikely friends even a kind of family after finding themselves facing similar unexpected circumstances. Listen. You know, im a human. Were all humans. I made a very honest mistake. I had no intention, no knowledge that that ammunition was in my checked baggage. And its i dont see where the punishment fits the crime here. Another Congressman Up In Arms Bob Good of virginia is accusing the State Department of seeming disinterested in treating this situation with the urgency it warrants. They dont seem highly motivated. Not to the degree they were to get Britteny Griner back that fit better with the kind of person theyre more eager to help. He said getting these folks home is a top priority. We brought americans home from all over the world. Our number one priority. I will apologize to no one for the efforts our people make every day to help americans who are in jeopardy anywhere around the world. The Governors Office in Turks And Caicos says the judge has some discretion to possibly determine less time behind bars as warranted with either or a combination of some kind of financial penalty so there is some hope. Again well learn this guys fate any moment now. Sandra keep us posted and well watch for it. Gillian, thank you. Everyone was better off. We had the greatest economy in history. Everybody was better off under a man named President Donald Trump. Well throw out bidenomics, replace it with maga nom i cans like you had. Bill this was another turn last night. Former President Trump in the south bronx. An unusual stop for any politician. Unfort unfortunately. Prices in new york have risen by more than 17 . Could it put the state in play this fall . Madison, nice to see you. Good morning. Good morning, bill. The Blue Bronx Last Night was quite red. Thousands of folks showed up. More than the campaign initially expected with the former president himself saying on stage that he wanted to call it a meeting but, quote, like it or not, this is a rally with thousands there. He called it a quote, love fest from the Campaign Stage and that sentiment was returned by those in attendance, especially those native bronx residents. What i see no president ever came to the south bronx. I just came to support and show love. For him to be in a place like the south bronx is huge. You have never seen any other candidate do this. Biden is not doing this. They wanted to send a message the Democrat Party has taken their vote for granted for too long. We see in polling that minority voters, black and brown americans are starting to shy away from the Democrat Party. For reasons like the economy and immigration, that is exactly what i heard on the ground. Tell me why are you out here today for this rally for President Trump . Everything he is doing for us. First the economy, the border, fixing my pockets because inflation. Thats another thing. Everything is high. Things are super expensive. For us mainly is the immigration. We think it is extremely unfair. My great grandmother 95 years old will vote for trump this year, life long democrats. Multiple printed signs that says new york is trump country. Polling doesnt show that to be the case quite yet. The president received a warm welcome last night, bill. Honestly thats putting it lightly. Bill well see where it goes and what it means in november, right . Madison, thank you here in new york. Sandra lets bring in Shannon Bream anchor of fox news sunday. Nice to spend friday with you. Bill i just like friday. Ive gone to freedom friday. Sandra Lawrence Jones had a chance to catch up with the former president and he asked him about the nikki haley endorsement. Here was the exchange. We did the Nomination Process the fastest in history. You know, if Somebody Else were running they would still be running for another month in order to get the nominee. We did it in two months. The party is together. I appreciate what she said. The party is together. Sandra he asked the former president is it a sign the Republican Party is coming together . That was his response. Interesting. Shannon it was muted compared to how he used to call her bird brain and all these different things. Remember when bind and harris were on the debate stage together and she was suggesting he was a racist and they end up on the ticket together. You always have to wonder what could actually happen. I would say nikki haley was maybe something less than an endorsement. Im voting for him. These two choices arent good. Bill she did make the first overture and she did it at the Hudson Institute in washington, d. C. Which is no small matter. I see parallels working here. I see reagan 40 years ago in the bronx. I see trump the same way in the bronx. I say reagan taking his biggest competitor in george h. W. Bush. I think her name is still out for vice president. Shannon there is a component that both sides of this ticket would like to get. Biden folks talked about a lot of outreach theyve done they see as potential haley voters they could pull over and suggesting to the trump team you guys need to do more to cultivate this relationship because these people are voting gop, not voting for you. The question is are they so never trump in the Protest Votes for nikki haley theyll never come home to trump . Sandra another interview he gave last night to a local news station, news 12 and he was asked about his Running Mate Choices and where he is with that. And when he was asked specifically about nikki haley he said she will be on our team in some form. Thats the first time we have heard him say this. Sh shannon will they send up in the cabinet or on the ticket . He wants to pull the factions together. Interesting to see if they are woohable at this point. If you are going for a protest vote are you persuadeable. Bill the judge in new york suspended court for a week. Not the case with hunter biden. He has a hearing. His attorney said this about the l. A. Tax case. The Resource Distribution between Defense Counsel and government is not the same but working hard. Lets have a fair trial we can say is fair. Where is this now and what should we be paying attention to . The one will move forward in another week or two. The other has been delayed until september. Not unusual. Judges and courts respect each other and coordinate and look at time lines to be what is possible for Defense Teams to get done. I dont know if its a win for the biden folks. Hunter bidens trial will be september in the heat of getting down to the wire. Do you want to get it earlier in the Election Cycle or want to have this Trial Making Headlines in september when were starting to get to early voting at that point . Bill Byron Donalds this weekend. Shannon yes and congressman moskowitz. Two of the greatest legal minds. Trey gowdy and Andy Mccarthy talking about the trump trial coming down to the finish line. The world would be in good hands. I will be there for a final arguments on tuesday. Sandra see you then. You used to vote democrat. This year thats going to change. It is. I think that The Cost Of Living has spiraled out of control. Last time around you voted for joe biden. This time around you will vote for donald trump. Why . Absolutely because donald trump already showed me that he understands our problems. Bill so youve seen the crowds, youve heard the message now in deep blue bronx that went 85, 88 for joe biden. Can he generate the same enthusiasm in key Battleground States . Well check on that coming up. Sandra grades are up but test scores are down in schools.

They reached a settlement allowing Student Athletes to earn revenue beginning in fall 2025. Division i schools can pay agent lets up to 20 million a year. Deal includes 2. 8 billion for former athletes. Long overdue and long time coming. It is getting close to a system for the first time will treat the athlete the way they should be treated. I suppose thats debatable but thats the way he feels about it. Bill a younger sandra smith is Running Track at lsu and maybe you are in on the deal and making tons of loot. Sandra weve talked about this. So many ways to look at this. Were never going to know the right path until something is implemented. Here we go. I dont know how good or bad this is going to be. Bill people who transfer four times in six years, i dont know if thats the best policy. Thats the choices they can make right now. Sandra choices can be good. Bill they can be, thats correct. Now Border Patrol agents struggling to contain the growing surge of migrants from around the world. Bill melugin obtained this video, right . Texas dps in new mexico in the el paso sector chose cartels Smugglers PeltingBorder Patrol agents are rocks, dirt and bottles as people try to climb the wall. Chris, nice to see you again and good morning to you. Normally when they set up the ladder, they do it at nighttime. The fact that this happened with daylight hours, does that tell you anything . Yeah, good morning and there is a lot to say about that video. Very brazen. This is what happens when there is very little support from our friends and neighbors in mexico and, of course, just the complete lack of strong policies coming out of washington. Consequences for everybody involved in the border crisis. Again, you know, one thing i want to make very clear is thank Goodness Texas Ds was out there with a chopper. You here nonsense that the state of texas the Eye In The Sky are working whenever there is a situation like this and it happens more frequent than people would like to admit having spent a lot of time in my career there in el paso specifically as the number two for west texas and new mexico very familiar with this situation. Encountered a lot in yuma as well. Bill looks to me like it is a drone camera, not a helicopter. Do under the trump administration, there was an order to put a camera on every light post every 100 yards along the border. I am told when changed administrations in January Of 2021 the cameras were never turned on. Do you know that to be the case . Is that true . Yes, thats true. I can speak specifically in yuma. We had over 4,000 cameras and light poles supposed to be installed and less than 25 were ever turned on and operational. Some of them were turned off. So yeah, again, everybody talks about the wall or this administration talks about the wall. It is the wall system. It was the wall where it made sense and the Technology Package based on agentss requirement. For that to be turned off when things were going so well for the Border Security teams down there, it is just disgraceful and quite honestly a betrayal from this administration. Bill the most recent encounters san diego is popping. 37,000, tucson 31,000, el paso 30,000. Seem to be the gold, silver and bronze at the moment. As you know they move based on what the cartels can intersect and push more people through, they do that. Here is bill melugin asking these migrants just recently where they are from. Where are you guys from . What country . Pakistan. India. Turkey. India. Where are you guys from . Turkey, turkey . China. Ecuador. India. Bill i think we know, chris, unless there is significant action taken by the president , not congress. They are fighting over this border bill. It doesnt look like it will go anywhere. If you get an executive order, joe biden could change some things. If he doesnt, you have comments like this from the south bronx last night. California Governor Newsom offers education, medical care, pensions, offers everything. He will even give them an electric car because they are all over the place. Bill thats one argument. The other one is what were seeing about the folks showing up at Military Installations and what thats all about we dont know. Last comment. I will tell you all these things happening from this add min trigs it is creating a Business Opportunity for the cartels to continue to exploit people as you see from that clip from around the world. Thats exactly what we experienced in yuma for two straight years with over 100,000, 300,000 arrests mainly from countries around the world. Not an american problem or mexican oh problem but a world problem. The people that are released and causing problems. Ive been saying this on this show. Border patrol is National Security. Take the politics out of it and the emotion out of it from an Immigration Perspective and look at it from a National Security perspective. Americans deserve that. This Administration Needs to get on with it right now or be ready for the next one to take care of business. Bill thanks for coming back. Talk to you after the break. Chris clem, thank you. The simple fact is joe biden is not getting the job done for the bronx. He is not getting the job done for new york and not getting the job done for america.
