president obama facing huge political challenges on two fronts. the environmental policy change that's sure to upset republicans. we're going to start with another big story this morning. the prisoner swap that freed an american soldier after five years in captivity. but there is criticism, as well as celebration. this morning, army sergeant bowe bergdahl is recovering after being captured by the taliban. new pictures of the five terror suspects freed in the deal arriving in qatar. many wonder if the deal was too much. new details on the moment bergdahl was finally freed. nic, what do we know? >> reporter: yeah, chris, 27 hours ago, sergeant bergdahl arrived here at the landstuhl facility behind me which is

installation of physical welfare taken care of. what he learned what he saw while held captive. but all of this began such a long time ago. after almost five years of captivity in afghanistan -- >> scared i won't be able to go home. >> reporter: army sergeant bowe bergdahl is free and safe. now, new details emerging about the secret recovery effort three years in the making. according to u.s. defense officials a so-called proof of life video sent of the now 28-year-old last december incited them to broker a secret deal. officials say the soldier's sickly appearance putting them on an advance timetable. the deal, swap these five taliban detainees from guantanamo bay in exchange for bergdahl. >> release me, please. i'm begging you. bring me home. >> reporter: according to "the wall street journal," after days of waiting, the taliban's call to meet finally came.

u.s. defense officials say it was just around 10:30 in the morning on saturday. when 18 armed taliban fighters led bergdahl to the meeting point near the pakistan border. in waiting special operations forces backed by helicopter gunships. bergdahl walks up to the u.s. commandos talking to him right away. the american forces immediately search him for explosives. the meeting lasted just seconds and quickly bergdahl was ushered to a helicopter on route to baggraham after scribble s.f. after hearing they were special forces bergdahl broke down driving. lost from the p.o.w. from the iraq conflicts is seemingly

free. >> five years is a long time but you've made it. >> reporter: bergdahl's parents who have yet had contact with their son sent him this message. >> i'm proud of how much you wanted to help the afghan people. and what you were willing to do to go to that length. >> so how long before he can be back in the arms of his parents which is what they are most looking forward to. no doubt, he is, too. doctors say they're sympathetic to everything that sergeant bergdahl has been through and they're going to take this reintegration at a pace that he's capable of. >> that long process of recovery just beginning right now. nic robertson thank you for that angle of the story. now, the deal to free bergdahl is also coming under fire for the dangers it could present to other americans overseas. and reaction to his release has been strong on both sides of the

aisle. cnn's joe johns has more on what officials are seeing now. joe, what are you hearing? >> kate, the deal has been described the worst of the worst. which raises the question whether the deal could incentivize other organizations to try to kidnap more americans to get their own hostage deals in the future. >> it's a good day. >> yes, it's a good day. >> reporter: a day after the president's emotional celebration with bowe bergdahl's parents, close questions on cnn's state of the union with candy crowley. >> did the u.s. negotiate with terrorists for his release? >> candy what we did is ensure that the united states did not leave a man or woman on the battlefield. >> reporter: rice said what she called the acute urgency of his failing health testified not telling congress 30 days

beforehand as the law requires. >> so there was a conscious decision to break the laws as you know it dealing with the detainees. >> candy, no, the department of defense consulted the department of justice and it was in our view that it was appropriate and necessary to do this to bring sergeant bergdahl back safely. >> reporter: and ensured president obama the five guantanamo bay detainees swapped for bergdahl would not pose significant risk. >> there are restrictions on heir movement. i'm not able to get into the precise detail. >> reporter: now countered that there's a price on american soldiers' heads. >> so we have say changing footprint in afghanistan that would put our soldiers at risk for this motion that if i can get one i'll get more released. >> reporter: but defense secretary hagel said this is about saving a life. >> we didn't negotiate with terrorists. sergeant bergdahl is a prisoner

of war. >> while the administration insisted it did not negotiate with terrorists to secure the release because qatar apparently acting as an intermediary, this is a question that will likely be asked and answered again and again in the coming future. and president obama also at the center of an historic environmental policy change. the president going around congress eye with a plan that would cut carbon pollution from power plants by 30% in the year 2030. erin mcpike is following this from washington. it's 30% which includes some percentage, right? >> president obama couldn't get congress to pass that cap and trade deal in his first term, so he's actually using this loophole to get it done. he's traveling to new york but he's not making that announcement later today.

he will hold a conference call with the american one association as he tries to trump up how these changes will be good for your health. >> reporter: president obama is going around congress to enforce a steep 30% cut in carbon emesses. so-called greenhouse gases, from coal-fired power plants. he's using his executive authority, proposing new epa regulations to take his strongest action yet against climate change. >> as president, and as a parent, i refuse to condemn our children to a planet that's beyond fixing. >> reporter: linking the move to health problems like asthma, he taped his weekly address at the children's national medical center. >> often these illnesses are aggravated by air pollution. pollution from the same sources that release carbon and contribute to climate change. and for the sake of all of our kids, we've got to do more to reduce it. >> reporter: the new rules reportedly would give states and local government wide latitude

in how to reduce carbon pollution. allowing them to encourage solar and wind power instead of forcing power plants to close. in his midterm election year, it's a strategy designed to go head to head with republicans who are making hey of the harm these regulations will do to the coal industry. >> the administration has set out to kill coal and its 800,000 jobs if it succeeds in death by regulation, we'll all be paying a lot more money for electricity if we can get it. >> reporter: the u.s. chamber of commerce estimates it will cost the economy $50 billion a year. advocates say those claims are a exaggerated. >> this is something we can't put off, and the president deserves huge credit for making this his legacy. >> of course, republicans are adamantly opposed to anything that smells like cap and trade. that could be considered bad for the coal industry. that's especially bad in coal

country where there are a handful of nail biting races. in places like kentucky, louisiana, and colorado. so politically, this is obviously a risky move for the president, kate and chris. >> all right, erin. but it is a move, nonetheless. so let's evaluate with mr. john avalon editor in chief of the daily beast. you have the environment energy icing the base midterm elections. that's what's going on, right how does this help the president? >> it's very much a legacy play for the president. what we're seeing the president after having worked for congress being burdened by that outreich saying for the second term he's going for the legacy of executive order. on the epa regulation, it's very much sort of obama care for the air. this is something that's a longtime liberal priority. it's going to be politically problematic at the very least. but the president's going big because he meals a moral obligation to do so.

>> and i think many folks are surprised how much he talked about combatting climb change in the second inaugural speech. >> that's right. people were shocked for the first inaugural speech to mention climate change. this is evidence that the president is taking action. a little secret, folks. environmentals haven't always been satisfied with the administration's actions but this is a big step when it comes to climate change. >> but the real challenge isn't to say, let's do better by the environment. it's making jobs without costing them. legitimate criticism that you're going to hurt one of the last bastions of blue collar workers. who cares if you do it if china and india don't. >> absolutely right on both counts. the political cost is profound. a lot of red state swings in particularly coal country where this is not a life sentence, but decreasing the degree of difficulty for alison grimes in

kentucky. and the seat that jay rockefeller is opening up. this is making it more difficult for democrats to hold on to. we're the number two carbon emission after china. india say major problem. >> let's switch and talk about bowe bergdahl now. >> yeah. >> almost immediately after everyone has felt relief that the soldier was rescued, then became the conversation, very quickly, was this is good deal? >> yeah, the pivot to politics was actually incredible. >> incredibly fast. >> because members of congress felt blind sided by this. normally, there's a 30-day period because sergeant bergdahl is apparently in dramatic decline the administration moved very quickly to make this release. as the package earlier pointed out we've got priorities here. leave no soldiers behind in a war-time situation and do not negotiate with terrorists. you're going to see this over the next days. not just the precedent but it

could increase the bounty on soldiers' heads as we with bra from afghanistan but is this a concern for releasing prisoners from guantanamo. many are concerned because of the record of guantanamo detainees getting activated with al qaeda once they leave. >> help me understand. this deal is getting negotiated with the same detainees from guantanamo for five years. >> this has been on the table. we have known subrosa negotiations are going on. >> subrosa? >> yeah, subrosa. these negotiations have been known. this all happened very quickly when it came down, again, because of his health. senate intelligence committee members have said the five detainees are very dangerous. james clyburn has said these detainees are dangerous. we have a record here. whatever side of the argument you want to take, whether

guantanamo these guys were radicalized. we know that folks who have left guantanamo have gotten activated with al qaeda since leaving. so the idea that you can contain these folks is a very big bet and a five to one deal is always a lopsided ratio. >> we'll continue that conversation throughout the morning as well. john, great to see you. happy monday. let's turn to meteorologist indra petersons keeping track of the forecast. indra, it was nice here over the weekend. >> i'm so glad you started with that. can we just talk about how beautiful it was for the northeast. it's going to stay that way but a lot of changes coming for the southeast. scattered showers in the southeast for today. eventually by tomorrow night, even a severe weather threat out towards the midwest and finally, we're looking about spreading into the ohio valley. so let's talk about the threat for severe weather. again, is this in through tomorrow, severe weather threats for places like omaha, kansas

city, even places like chicago. where you see the red that is a heightened rick for severe weather, including the threat for tornadoes. all things being one part of it with the jet winds way up high perfectly lined up with the warm moist air out of the gulf. and the cool dry system coming together to bring you that severe weather threat. heavy rain is going to be out there as well 2 to 4 inches of rain could mean flooding concerns. into the northeast, 1 to 2 inches not as impressive there. you will feel that hot and muggy kind of weather. scattered showers up there. temperatures above normal in the southeast. the pattern sa changing guys. >> indra, thank you. >> predictinging the weather is very '90s. controlling the weather is very frontier. anybody can tell it you what's happening. it's actually making it happen that's impressive. coming up on "new day," more or the release of bowe bergdahl.

we're going to take a long look at the path after captivity. what happens now for bowe bergdahl. to help us with us that, we're going to talk to another american health captive for ten months. and how on earth did this happen again? another inflatable bounce house with two kids inside go flying be this time, across a colorado park. we're going to tell you about it.

you know that dream... on my count. the one where you step up and save the day?

make it happen. (crowd) oh no... introducing verizon xlte. hey guys, i got it right here! we've doubled our 4g lte bandwidth in cities coast to coast. so take on more. with xlte. for best results, use verizon.

welcome back to "new day." sergeant bowe bergdahl's family is rejoicing this morning. their son is finally free after nearly five years as a prisoner of the taliban. but not everyone is celebrating. bergdahl was released in exchange for five terror suspects. these are new pictures of those five gentlemen arriving in qatar, it's a move that's outraged many on both sides of the political aisle. let's get some perspective with retired military general spider marks. he's an adviser for cnn and also the senior intelligence officer in iraq. general, let's clear up two things here. first, has the u.s. negotiated

the release of p.o.w.s in the past through an exchange like this? >> i would say, yes, we have. in fact, clearly the united states does negotiate with terrorists. i know there's a policy that we don't. but i just think we need to lay it out there. i know there are legal ramifications and clearly, i'm not being pejorative here, but there are ways to craft this such that we don't negotiate with terrorists. at the end of the day, we've had an intermediary in qatar abdomen clearly in concert with agreements we were able to gain the release of sergeant bergdahl which is good news. >> good answering both questions for me. we do negotiate with terrorists. we just saw an example of it. and this is what happens sometimes to get back one of our troops. then you get back what the cost is here. and that goes to whether this is a good deal. what's your take? >> well, it's a good deal --

there's not a simple answer here, chris. it's a great deal for the bergdahl family. it's a great deal for the military to get this lost soldier into the arms of his cam rads. one thing to think about, these five taliban that were released are not good guys by anyone's measure. these guys have blood on their hands. they were taken off the battlefield. so this is something we have to be very conscious of as we move forward, in concert with the qatary government because this is where they will end up in the state of qatar. we have to be part of the surveillance to ensure that these guys do not get out of hand. >> what's your level of confidence that you can keep track of these gentlemen once they're released, and by gentlemen, i mean taliban warriors? >> correct. i would say moderate. we have a good relationship with the qatar government. our exchange is very positive. it's current, it's relevant. we'll have to be part of this effort moving forward.

>> but how, how do you do it? general, help us understand. you let them go. they're in qatar. how do you keep them? how do you know who they're talking to? how much resources can be provided for this? >> the answers to all of questions that this is what our intelligence does do with precision. this is why the cia exists. we run human intelligence networks. we have sources. we'll have eyes on the ground. we'll also have a boat load for lack of a more precise term of technique intelligence to know where they are and know where their movements are. this is great for the united states to expand the intelligence collection of these five individuals and their network as they try to reintegrate. clearly, these individuals are not going to want to remain fallow. they're going to want to get over the horizon. we'll have to ensure that the conditions of their release are

being followed. that's what the intel's community charge is and it must be followed. >> so do you not think that the idea of monitoring these men is just a political throw away line to make it seem more valid. you think it can actually be monitored? also susan rice saying we had to do this because bowe bergdahl's life was in danger. are those two legit statements or do you think those are rationales to make this deal more palatable politically? >> i have to believe i have no information from the evaluation about sergeant bergdahl's health. it's not a throw-away statement that the united states has established conditions and that's it. and that becomes now as john avlon said the pivot to politics that congress is interested because now they were left out of the decision process. the united states must do this. if they don't, we lose every credibility. if we don't have the resource

that the cia has at military intelligence agencies at multiple levels. if we don't have all of those energized on this particular problem, we are completely lost in the woods on this and we've made a major mistake. >> this a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation if you don't do it, bergdahl, god forbid he lost his life that you don't care about your own. if you do do a new deal, you have now created an opportunity for the taliban to seek more p.o.w.s to get more exchanges? >> clearly. that's the argument. it makes perfect sense. the united states at this point must be able to address the second part of your conundrum which is if you don't track these guys, they're now back in the fight. and the taliban has increased incentive to grab more americans or other nationalities and put them on the chopping block or the auction block for the return. the united states has got to make sure that the conditions are release of onerous, are

difficult. and the taliban goes, holy-moley, being in gitmo may have been a better deal than being in qatar trying to reintegrate. i can't move. i can't make any motion in qatar without obvious and overt restrictions placed on me. ultimately, these folks will go over the horizon after a year. we've got to make this one-year period in qatar incredibly difficult for them to re-engage. and incredibly powerful for us and other nations who are interested with whom we share intelligence a very good deal so we gather more intelligence. we have a better sense of what their network looks like and what their intentions are. >> general james "spider" marks thank you very much for helping us this morning. >> thank you, chris. coming up next on "new day," more about the release of bowe bergdahl with another american held. what does it sake to survive horrifying conditions.

welcome back to "new day." army sergeant bowe bergdahl is recovering in a german hospital this morning. finally free after being held by the taliban for five years. very few people can relate to what bergdahl is going through. but roy hallams can. hallams was working as a contractor in iraq when captured in november 2004. he was held prisoner in a windowless basement, tied up before being rescued by the u.s. military ten months later. mr. hallams, it's great to see you. thank you for your time. as i said, you were one of the very few who has the unfortunate perspective of relating to what sergeant bergdahl has gone through. what was your initial reaction when you heard that sergeant bergdahl was released? >> well, i saw it, and when i saw him in the pictures of him,

it reminded me of when i was released and how i thought it was -- couldn't possibly be real that i was actually rescued. but it reminded me of the day of the kidnapping actually. because when that's happening, you think, well, this can't really be happening. and then the rescue, in his case, the release. it's still like you're in the twilight zone, and you can't believe what's going on. >> when you're released. it seems like you went through the same thing. he did not believe that he was being released they had told him before. obviously that had not happened. and he broke down crying when he found out it was special forces who rescued him. can you describe that emotion when you realize for the very first time that you were safe? >> yes. well i was in a little room under a farmhouse in iraq. and i heard a lot of noise in the room above me. but i didn't know what it was

for sure. whether it was the gang trying to come in and kill me. or whether it was somebody trying to rescue me. and then a soldier jumped down in the room where i was and pointed at me and said, are you roy? i said, yes. he said, come on, we're getting out of here. that was the first instance i knew that i was actually free. >> you were held for ten months. you were finally rescued in 2006. it's been eight years from now. you can still remember when those first days were like when you were released? when you were safe. but also starting what appears to be a very long road to recover and reacclimating to quote/unquote ordinary life. what are those first days like? what should sergeant bergdahl be expecting? >> well, for me, it was just, you're sort of in a fog. because for so long, your whole world is so tiny, you can't go to the bathroom.

you can't get a drink of water, you can't get anything to eat unless somebody else approves it. and lets you have it. and then all of a sudden, boom. you're free. and you can do what you want. which doesn't sound like a big problem. but it's an adjustment you have to make to where your world opens up again. and you have to get used to doing it. it takes time. >> and it may be a little bit different because were you a private contractor. sergeant bergdahl obviously, active duty. tell me, what was -- what you can describe as the involvement of the u.s. military in that reacclimation? were you able to speak to your family right afterwards? was it suggested that you not communicate with them immediately afterwards because you needed to reacclimate yourself? >> well, unbeknownst to me there was a military psychiatrist who was in charge of me. there were different people walk around. but the psychiatrist was in charge. and i was dealing with the fbi.

and i had asked to speak to my family on the phone. but the psychiatrist had told them don't you let him talk to anybody or call his family until i tell you it's okay. so, after several discussions with the fbi, i finally was able to talk with them, because i think the psychiatrist wanted to make sure i was mostly okay. and then just as in his case, the psychiatrist would tell me they want me to go to germany. but i didn't want to do that. i wanted to come back home to memphis. and because i was a civilian, i was able to do that. because sergeant bergdahl is a soldier, he's going to have to go to germany and do the process which is probably best. >> right afterwards, you had lost 35 pounds. and you had also said that it was difficult for to you talk, to speak right after you were rescued. we're also hearing that sergeant

bergdahl is having trouble at the very least speaking english. what does that tell you? >> well, in my case, my problem was, i hadn't been able to speak for 10 1/2 months because the gang had told me and the other hostages i was with, if we spoke to each other, they would kill us. it's like your vocal chords are like your muscles in your arm, if they don't get any use, they get out of shape. that was my problem. i didn't have problem speaking english. i don't know what his problem might be, but i didn't have the english problem. mine was a physical thing with my vocal chords. >> roy, is there an easy way to sum up how dramatically different life is after the fact? compared to the life you had before you were captured?

>> well, i mean, you learn to appreciate your family and every little thing that you go through each day. i mean, when i came back it wasn't -- the big thing, just going to the grocery store. you know when i first got back, i went to the grocery store with my two daughters and that was strange because here are kids running around. people just doing their everyday life. but you learn to appreciate simple things like that when you get back. >> even eight years later now, do you still struggle with any -- do you think you still struggle with any residual issues or any memories from captivity? >> well, i mean, i don't have nightmares or anything, if that's what you mean. i recall it. from time to time, especially with this going on right now. but it's not in a scary or negative way. it's just, to me, it's something that happened to me. it's like my right arm.

it's part of me now. and, yes, it happened, but my life's in the future. and keep moving forward. >> and hopefully, in your words, someone who would know better than anyone. bowe bergdahl's family can take comfort in that, that life keeps moving on, that is for sure. roy hallums, great to see you. thank you so much, roy. >> thank you. >> of course. chris? coming up on "new day," golf great phil mickelson now answering insider trading allegation. what he's saying about the fbi and scc investigation that now involves him when we come back. little things, anyone can do. it steals your memories. your independence. insures support. a breakthrough. and sooner than you'd like... ...sooner than you think. ...you die from alzheimer's disease. ...we cure alzheimer's disease. every little click, call, or donation adds up to something big.

>> decitin. and the flyi ing fluids, after e pump fake when you're changing the diaper. >> always judge the unexpected. do not judge the look on the boy's face by what his intentions are. >> i'm learning. >> congratulations, brother. let's go on about sports now, golfer phil mickelson hitting a rough patch and not just on the links. the five-time major champ says he's cooperating with the fbi in a major insider trading probe that reports they say not just mickelson, but a top las vegas gambler and a billionaire investor. what is going on. >> it's an interesting web. there he is playing golf, having to say i didn't do anything wrong. i'm cooperating with the fbi. i hope this so far soon. what this is an potential

investigation into snyder trading. >> phil mickelson. >>. >> reporter: world renown golfer phil mickelson is being investigated by the fbi and the securities exchange commission inside a insider trading investigation. >> i have done absolutely nothing wrong. that's why i've been fully cooperating with the fbi agents. >> reporter: the probe centers around stock trades made by billionaire investor carl icahn three years ago. the fbi is examining whether mickelson along with a well-known sports gambler billy walters profited from information not available to the public. >> they're going to be looking at a pattern of trading in particular stocks. and they're going to be looking to connect relationship between mickelson, between walters and between icahn. >> reporter: law enforcement sources tell cnn that back in

2011 icahn invested in shares of clorox and then proposed a $10.6 billion takeover of the company causing a spike in the company' share price. now investigators want to know can mickelson and icahn were clued in on it. >> with respect to icahn, you have to prove that he deliberately leaked the information and it was privileged and confidential and he knew it at the time that he leaked it. >> reporter: cnn could not reach representatives of icahn or walters. but atters told them the suggestion that he was involved in improper trading was, quote, inflammatory and speculative. telling the paper, we are always very careful to observe all legal requirements in all of our activities." walters told "the wall street journal" i don't have any comment about anything. so far, there are no allegations of wrongdoing and no charges have been filed against anyone

in this case. >> it's not going to change the way i carry myself. obviously, i've done nothing wrong. i'm not going to walk around any other way. >> often when talking about insider trading cases, it's about somebody inside a company who is leaking information and somebody profits it. in this case, you're talking about the billionaire activist carl icahn, trying to go in and push change and get a big stake in the company clorox. how this all wraps up could be quite interesting as well because there's no wiretap here. we're told, "wall street journal" is reporting there's a problem here. a lot of times they do wire. thats and that's how they get convictions in these cases. this time, the news was leaking before they could do any wiretapping. >> that's why they're allegations at this point. >> they're allegations. it is a probe. not charges. >> allegations sounds strong. it's allegation without proof. >> phil mickelson said he did

nothing wrong. >> and until we hear more, that's what you go with. there are a lot of stories to be followed as you start your new day. bergdahl is home but the deal is controversial. five terror suspects freed for the american private. and the president is reviewing a huge measure to combat conclusion without congress. and alice from the brady bunch. we'll see you soon. >> point blank, did the u.s. negotiate with terrorists? >> we didn't negotiate with terrorists. sergeant bergdahl is a prisoner of war. >> i refuse to condemn our children to a planet that isn't fixed. >> the administration is set out to kill coal. >> suggestions of explosive materials.

>> the fbi is engaged in a nationwide manhunt. good morning, welcome back to "new day." two big announcements are drawing more unwanted criticism for president obama. first, a potentially historic change in environmental policy is coming today. and it is sure to rangel the gop. but, first, the big story is the prisoner swap to bring sergeant bowe bergdahl home after five years. it is now raising questions. we have new pictures this morning of the five terror suspects freed in the deal arriving in qatar. so the question is, is bergdahl's freedom worth the cost. let's start our coverage with nic robertson in germany where bergdahl is getting medical attention. nic? >> reporter: yeah, good morning, chris. he's not not just getting medical attention here pat of the reintegration process is described the way his welfare, psychological and physical well-being will be held. part of that process as well

will be to make an assessment of what he learned during those almost five years in captivity. does he have any useful, timely military intelligence that could help operations under way in afghanistan right now. and of course, very importantly as well, what did he learn about his time being captive with the taliban that could help other soldiers in the future, if they fall into the same situation. and, of course, they'll want to know and understand precisely how sergeant bergdahl did fall into this situation. did become a captive of the taliban. what doctors here are saying, though, they're going to proceed at a pace of reintegration that he is comfortable with. they're going to let it be dictated by him. they say they respect and are sensitive to everything that he's been through in afghanistan. of course, no one knows at the moment how he was captured. what happened during those five years. for example, was he held in situations where his life was threatened with mock executions. how often did that sort of thing happen? and that's all going to affect his speed and pace of recovery

before he can get back to his parents, kate. >> nic, thank you very much. for that update from on the ground in germany so while sergeant bowe bergdahl has been returned to safety it sure did not take long for many republicans to question the deal taking to sunday's shows to clam the release to slam the administration administration for how they pulled it off and what precedent it may set. take a listen. >> how many soldiers lost their lives to capture those five taliban terrorists that we just released? you know, ambassador rice basically said to you, yes, u.s. policy has changed. now, we make deals with terrorists. >> these are the hardest of the hard core. these are the highest, high-risk people. and others that we have released have gone back into the fight. >> if you negotiate here, you've sent a message to every al qaeda group in the world that is dangerous. >> and as he said, it also gives excessive price for their lives.

but national security investigators say they acted to save bergdahl's life. rear admiral john kirby. what is the very latest with sergeant bergdahl? what's the update? how's he doing? >> well, i think you heard it really well from nic there. he's at landstuhl, and he's know he's beginning now this reintegration process. a team of doctors are certainly looking over him. as nic said, this process will take as long as it take. we won't go any faster than sergeant bergdahl is ready. >> do you know if sergeant bergdahl was able to speak with his family, when they're go to be able to talk to them? >> as far as i know, kate, he has not spoken to his family right now. again, that's part of this reintegration process. it obviously will occur but it won't occur until everyone

believes it's the right time. >> along with the release from cappist it, you hear the criticism of what had to be done to cut this deal. this is how james clapper described those five taliban were held in gitmo. how he described those five men back in 2012. listen to this. >> i don't think anyone harbors any illusions about these five taliban members. and what they might do, if they were transferred. >> and described also as the worst of the worst. what has changed since 2012? >> well look, first of all, these five are mid to high-level taliban. some are fairly low-ranking -- i'm not trying to engli ing tin they did to warrant us bringing them to guantanamo bay. but i can tell you this, the secretary defense himself, secretary hagel made the determination that this transfer was in the national interest. and i can also tell you and he's

made this very clear, he would never have signed that order, he would never have done that if he didn't believe that we have the appropriate assurances from the government of qatar that these individuals were not going to oppose it. >> as buck mchannon but it yesterday, many believe it's ludicrous to believe that these five men are not going to enter the fight now that they're out? >> again, i can't go into the detail of the assurances from qatar. we from transferred detainees. this is in line with the same process we've used in terms of transferring detainees. in many ways this is no different but we don't publicly disclose those. the secretary has made it clear, he understands there are no questions by members of congress and he looks forward to talking to them and answering as many

questions. >> when is he going to answer the question? because you know a lot of them feel burned that they didn't have the questions answered before the fact? >> look, the secretary knows they have questions and concerns. again, he's willing to engage with them. i won't get into a schedule on tv how that's going to occur. i do want to go back to another point about the speed with which we moved here. and we really did need to move with the speed. we had information that propelled us to act quickly based what we believe to be some deteriorating health conditions for sergeant bergdahl and real jeopardy to his life. >> can you describe those health conditions he clearly looked through the videos that were released over the years that he was gettin thinner. can you get into more detail about what that deteriorating health condition was? >> no. to protect his privacy and information that we had. i don't think i would do that today publicly. i can just tell you that we had good reason to believe that there were significant -- there

was significant risk to his life. and jeopardy to his conditions. and i just simply wouldn't go beyond that. but i can tell you that, again, we wouldn't have done this, we wouldn't have done it the way we did it, the speed with which we did it. we didn have a good idea that hs life was in jeopardy and we had to move quickly. and there was a window here. and windows open and close. and we took advantage of that. >> there seems to be competing priorities as there always are in these difficult decisions. the priority of leave no soldier behind. and the priority as policy, we do not negotiate with terrorists in part of the united states. the defense secretary said very clearly we did not negotiate with terrorists here. on some level, are you trying to have it both ways? i know it's difficult but it's hard to have those two competing priorities happening at the same time. >> no i don't think we look at it that way at all, kate.

we did not negotiate with terrorists. we're grateful for the mayor of qatar for having brokered this transfer. it's true, we don't want to leave any soldier behind. and we're going to work by all means possible to recover a prisoner of war which sergeant bergdahl was, and it would have been irresponsible for us not to continue to pursue all kinds of means and measures to get him back. and he was never off our radar screen for the last five years, i can assure you of that. again, we had to move quickly in this particular case based on his life being in jeopardy. >> how do you answer the criticism clearly coming from everybody this has set the price on american lives. the one for five deal. how can you argue -- what is your argument that this does not set a dangerous precedent and put americans' lives at risk overseas? >> i think the u.s. military's record against terrorism around the world speaks for itself. i've been in the military a long

time. and certainly was wearing a uniform on september 11th, 2001. and i can tell you we have been resolute and determined all around the world, going after terrorism. and i don't think any terrorist anywhere in the world should take any comfort at all from this. because we're still out there. we're still engaged. it's not just about afghanistan. the united states military is engaged all around the world. and no terrorist, and certainly nobody who wishes united states ill should take any comfort from this at all. >> and after five long years, it is a relief for everyone to have a u.s. soldier back in safe hands. but i do want to ask you, finally, there are suggestions and it's difficult to discuss alongside the relief of having a u.s. soldier rescued. but there are suggestions from even though who served with bowe bergdahl that he left his post without permission. that he is a deserter. will those accusations, those questions, being investigated by the pentagon? >> we still -- they'll have a complete picture of what caused

him to leave his base that night. and i know that at the time, an investigation was started by the unit in question. i don't know the status of that and whether it was complete or whether they figured that out. i don't think right now we know exactly what was in his mind when he left that post. but let's not forget, he was held captive as a prisoner for five years. five years by himself. that's a pretty high price to pay for whatever compelled him to walk off that base. and the mantra is we're not going to not leave any soldier behind. we don't qualify that. he's an american sergeant in the u.s. army. and we're not going to leave him behind. and we didn't. >> rear admiral, thanks for being on. later this hour, we're going to talk more about bergdahl's release with white house press secretary jay carney. despite the political disputes there's no slowing the celebration in bergdahl's

hometown. news of the prisoner swap was met, of course, with jubilation iniley, idaho. the town never stopped. nick valencia is there. nick? >> reporter: good morning, chris. this community is overjoyed. bowe bergdahl, their hometown hero has finally been set free from taliban captivity. on and off for two years before being deployed at afghanistan, u.s. sergeant bowe bergdahl worked here at the coffee shop in his hometown of hailey, idaho. tributes are all around. >> there's drawings. there's a tree with a yellow ribbon. there's poems in here. it's just a really lovely, as well as the boards are up, a lovely now keepsake that will be for bowe. >> reporter: sue martin was

bergdahl's boss here. but she's always seen herself more as his friend. >> you know, he has a tender personality. he's a strong person. and very personable. he got along great with all the employees. and all of the customers have nothing but good to say about bowe. they really enjoyed him while he was working here. >> reporter: this town says they're a community of heart and for the last 4 years and 11 months the small town of nearly 8,000 has been a cornerstone of support for the bergdahls ensuring that he'll never be forgotten. >> there's one tree for every year that bowe has been held captive. we're waiting for bowe. we're anxious to get him home here with us. we know it's going to be a long process. we're hoping that day comes sooner rather than later. >> reporter: yellow balloons line the streets. symbols of solidarity for a hometown hero finally set free.

what are you going to say to bowe when you see him? >> i thought about that. i think it's going to be silent. a very dear embrace. >> reporter: organizers have planned a june 28th for bowe around what would have been the fifth anniversary of his disappearance. that event will still go on. it will be more of a celebration. bergdahl is is not expected to be here but he will certainly be on the minds of everyone in attendance. kate. >> and town rejoicing for sure. also happening today, historic changes to the environmental policy. president obama is using executive authority to push a command that would cut air conclusion to 30% by 2030. we know when it comes to policy, that also means it's up for a fight, erin? >> that's right.

epa chief will announce that coal-fired plants must cut the carbon emissions by an average of 30% by 2005 levels. president obama is making the change via executive order and bypassing congress. that has republicans steamed. the chamber of commerce says this proposal will cost the economy $50 billion a year. others say it will cost hundreds of thousands of jobs in coal country which is risky ahead of the midterm elections. so far, the president has begun selling this by saying illnesses such as asthma are aggravated by air pollution. and today's announcement we're expecting to hear how states will have to make the changes. and our sources say there will be, quote, a menu of options, for how they can do that. the administration wants the transition to end in solar power and not just close plants, kate. >> erin, we'll talk about that throughout the morning. >> a lot of issues, what happens

to jobs, and what happens if india and china doesn't do it as well the biggest carbon producer here. that's one story unfolding. let's get to john berman in for michaela. ic braing overnight, the nsa is reportedly intercepting millions of messages per day from e-mails and social media and feeding them through facial recognition programs. this is according to "the new york times" citing documents from edward snowden. an nsa spokesman would not confirm or deny the reports but tells at times the agency wouldn't be doing its job if it did not keep improving intelligence. new this morning, king juan carlos of spain has decided to abdicate paving the way for his son felipe to take over. he helped to reunite that country in the '70s but recently a long-running corruption probe into his daughter and her husband. two anguished fathers

devastated by the san diego killing spree met for the first time. richard martinez told cnn affiliate keyt that he and peter rodger have reached common ground and plan to work together so other families do not have to go through the pain that other families have had to endure. eric shinseki, the senate has looked to take a look at that care. 1700 veterans were at rick of being forgotten. with this bill, v.a. facilities outside of doctors help centers and military bases. chris. >> that will be the key. we had the political battle. shinseki stepped down. now, it's how do you make the fixes. >> one option is for doctors and nurses they would have student

loans forgiven if they went to work at a v.a. hospital for a period of time. >> that's a good idea. they have huge personnel issues there. and they're sending it to the private sector, supposedly real complicated. there's a lot of fee structures. >> can it be made easier? >> right. easy to complain politically. fixing it is always the challenge. certainly, the men and women deserve it. nobody disagrees with that. let's take a break here on "new day." when we come back, the controversy surrounding the release of sergeant bowe bergdahl. does the release of five taliban members set a bad presa dent. and explosives in a home we'll talk about this bizarre story. with centurylink as your trusted it partner,

everyone. the fbi is on a national manhunt this morning for a man considered to be armed and dangerous. the suspect is 42-year-old ryan kelly claimhamberlain. he's suspected of containing materials. in a san francisco apartment. this morning, we're learning that chamberlain was known in political circles also journalism circles. i want to bring in steven moore retired military special agent for the fbi. i want to start with this man found explosives in his apartment. and he's now on the run. how does the fact that he was in an apartment loaded with

explosives how does that shape this investigation? >> well, i think you have to find out how the fbi got on to him. what is the investigation. we really don't know if the explosives are secondary to the investigation. or whether they're the primary reason for the investigation. >> in a sense, i guess the question is why does that matter? he's now on the run. shouldn't there be a fear that he might have some with him and want to use them? >> i think that is the fear. you have to assume that he may have these things. what i'm wondering how much he actually had in the apartment. they didn't evacuate even the floor around him. so it doesn't seem to me that he had a lot of explosives in the apartment. we do not know what exactly he had in there, as you say. we do not know why the fbi raided this apartment, as you say. but let's talk about explosives in general. broadly speaking. how difficult is it to amass explosives that can cause serious damage to a lot of people? >> it's not dangerous -- or not difficult at all.

i mean, you can go down the oklahoma city bombing was perpetrated by an ammonium nitrate fertilizer combined with diesel fuel neither of which is really controlled. you can get 25 pounds of that and do serious damage. >> we do know, all too well, things that can seem innocuous are dangerous. it seems to me, at least as i look at it, people in the bay area, they knew this guy. ryan kelly chamberlain was active in political campaigns. he was a blogger. he wrote a blog on the san francisco 49ers for a while. journalists knew him. it seems unbelievable that a guy who might be harboring explosives, raided as a theft would be as public a figure as

this gentleman is believed to be? >> you're absolutely right. i think what you'll find with a lot of these people, they're very successful or at least successful enough to go on with life until something happens that triggers a problem. my reading on this, my understanding in november, he lost a job, and people are saying that his personality changed drastically. those are the kind of things you look for when people head down this slippery slope. >> you did mention he may have lost his job recently, something might have snapped. how about advice for everyone out there. we see the picture of this guy. we know the fbi raided his apartment and found explosives. we know there's a national manhunt now. what should the public be looking for? >> well, if the public sees him, sees his car, seeing anything that they recognize, don't approach the guy. we don't know what this is all about. but, you know, if you got some guy who's stockpiling explosives in his apartment, he's probably

not safe to approach so i would call authorities. and at best, keep an eye on it. >> very good advice. appreciate it. a lot is still unknown in this case. guys. >> it will be interesting how they have to go about the investigation dealing with what they're dealing with in the circumstances. we'll keep watching that as well. coming up on "new day," more on the deal that set army sergeant bowe bergdahl free. five taliban members are now free, that's now in quotes. is that bad precedent set? we're going to ask jay carney coming. officials kicking and demanding his passport. what happened during and after this confrontation.

welcome back to "new day," everyone. time for a look at the headlines right now. we begin with president obama using executive authority to take one could be one of the most significant steps to fight global warming in u.s. history. the environmental protection agency announcing a major proposal that calls for deep cuts on power plant emissions. it requires power plants to cut their carbon emissions by 30% by 2030. former pennsylvania governor ed rendell said he turned down a seat on a private plane that burst into flames in massachusetts on saturday killing everyone on board. the plane was owned by lewis

so excuse me -- we're -- i think i'm getting i think we're -- i'm being -- >> just a minute. passport. >> cnn. cnn. >> cnn. >> okay. can i see your passport then? >> sir, we need to -- start right here. wait, this is my press card. it allows me -- >> this is your passport -- >> passport -- >> we're being detained right now. so this is -- i'm being kicked. i'm being kicked. >> wow. watson and his crew were detained on demonstrations marking the one-year of unrest and protests. ivan is joining us. ivan, you've been in the middle of a lot of stuff, i guess we

could say. but what did happen? why were you detained? >> reporter: well, i wasn't legally detained. i was held for a half hour by the police, they say they were doing an identity check. they did not accept my turk ir pressure accreditation which is issued by the prime minister of turkey that is administered as a prime form of identity that i can check into hotels here in turkey. they said it was counterfeited. i'm pretty used quoting knocked around by security forces detained in iran and russia. i've been knocked around in turkey before but the difference before is it happened on live television. >> you've also reported in turkey about the country for a very long time. are you getting a sense that they are trying to silence the press there? or is this a very odd, unique incident? >> reporter: well, i mean,

there's no question that the press has come under pressure in turkey over the last several years. it's been rated as the world's biggest jailer of colonjournali. turkish journalists have faced the brunt of this. colleagues have been forced to resign from their jobs because they've been too critical of the government. the govern has also banned twitter. it's been recently reopened. it's an youtube now. for that to be reopened. it hasn't quite happened yet. and the government has used violence against protesters. perhaps police were trying to make a point. they kneed me in the posterior as they escorted me away. and they broke the microphone on our camera as they were pushing down our camera so they were not

being gentle with us. but it's turks that feel the brunt of this fore. the prime minister was caught on camera kicking a protester, and i've been watching every week in this neighborhood behind me practically, the police use tear gas and water cannon against what are mostly peaceful protesters. you're not allowed to protest against the government in turkey today. >> and you're doing what you need to do, just report on it. and people understand how it is important to stay calm under those circumstances. and you did all of that, ivan. glad you're okay. thank you very much. and we'll be right back at it again this has happened to him in several different countries. >> cnn money chief, chief business correspondent christine romans. i said "chief" twice. >> you have to actually say it

welcome back to "new day."

sergeant bowe bergdahl is in germany this morning receiving medical treatment and getting reintroduced to normal life after five years of capture. the soldier was just released. and the deal that did it, a landmark deal that gave him his freedom is draw something controversy. it was bergdahl in exchange for the lease of five senior taliban leaders being held in guantanamo bay prison. here to discuss that, as well as what's going on with the epa and more is the white house press secretary mr. jay carney. jay, good to see you. >> thanks for having me, chris. first and foremost, what do we know about the extent of the damage and the legitimacy of the health concerns surrounding the sergeant? >> well, sergeant bergdahl, as you know was held by the taliban for five years. and in a situation which obviously was not ideal for him, his health, obviously, was under pressure. and one of the reasons why it was so important to act when the opportunity arose was to ensure

that he could be recovered and could begin the process of physical and mental recovery. that will clearly take some time after that much time being held as a prisoner of war. >> now, that you have him, have they been able to diagnose anything that substantiated the concerns? >> i think at this point, chris, we need to allow for sergeant bergdahl to recover privately out of respect for him and his family. we're not going to get into details of that process. we're just thrilled that he is back. and that he'll be returning home to his family. his parents have suffered for a long time because of his absence. and i know they're overjoyed by the fact that bowe bergdahl is coming home. >> let's deal with the sticky points. does it matter if the then private walked off and essentially may have deserted? >> does that matter in the analysis of what's it's worth to get him back? >> here's what matters, he was a

prisoner in an armed conflict a member of the military and in that situation, the united states does not leave its men and women behind. for five years, we've been engaged in an effort to try to secure his release and we were very fortunate to do that this weekend. his process of repatriation has begun. and re-entry into society, i'm sure will not be an easy one. we're overjoyed on behalf of his parents and friends and family that he's returning home. >> another issue is why not just call this what it was, you negotiated with these terrorists because he is a prisoner of war and you have this pledge of leaving no man or women behind. and you arranged a deal. why parse words and having secretary of defense say we don't negotiate with terrorists? >> we were engaged in an armed conflict with the taliban, and we have a history in this country of making sure that our prisoners of war are returned to us. we don't leave them behind help

was not a hostage, he was a prisoner. and it's entirely appropriate, given the determination made by the secretary of defense, in consultation with the full national security team that the threat potentially posed by the returned detainees was sufficiently mitigated to allow us to move forward and get bowe bergdahl back home where he belongs. >> when you say sufficiently mitigated, do you really believe you can monitor men like these once they're released? >> we, without getting into too many details, i can say that we do believe and have confidence that the measures put in place in agreement with the host country allow us to feel confident that the threat is sufficiently mitigated. again, without going into too many details say there's a travel ban in effect. and monitoring in effect. and that gave the secretary of defense the confidence to make the determination he did. >> all right. let's go to the other front in this two-front battle that you're fighting down here most

urgently now. the epa changes. >> uh-huh. >> the 30% emission reductions in co2 by 2030. this is getting big pushback, obviously. the main question is, why didn't the president do this with congress? why go around them? >> well, the president has the authority, under the clean air act, to act the way he will. and the epa will announce today. we need to reduce the amount of carbon pollution in our air. we took action to relate the amount of other mercury and lead, other pollutants in our air that do damage and harm to the health of our children. right now, there aren't those kinds of regulations to deal with the amount of carbon pollution there is. and being able to act to regulate the emissions of carbon will create profound benefits for the health of our children. you know, we've seen a circumstance where the number of -- the incidence of asthma has doubled in not too many years. we believe and we know from the

science that reducing the amount of carbon emissions in our air will make our children healthier in the future. and that's a positive thing. it also creates huge benefits when it comes to enhancing our energy security and creating opportunities, entrepreneurial opportunities. and renewable energy. so this is the right thing to do, and the president is very confident that he has the authority to do it. >> pushback is that the administration is sneaking through with an obscure provision in the epa that's only been used like five times. and carbon dioxide isn't even listed as a pollutant in the clean air act. and did you it that way that you don't want to deal with the reality, of what this will do, it will cost jobs that it won't impact the environment because india and china aren't doing the same. what do you make of that? >> the united states has to lead first of all. and there's an indication that the united states will lead on this very important challenge poseded by climb change and global warming.

but the authority exists, clearly, i will say, when it comes to the interests that always claim in circumstances like this there will be job loss and doomsday scenario, that's what they said when regulation was put in place in 1990, over acid rain. and it wasn't true then. and it's what they say every time when the united states takes action to, you know, protect the health and welfare of our children which is what the president will be doing today. >> industry says, we already cut it over 10%. we're up like 14% in cutting emissions our own way. why do you have to play politics with us? go play politics with somebody else. >> well, first of all, the strides we've made have to do with a variety of factors when it comes to reducing emissions including all of the above approach to our energy, our needs that the president has instituted. and that includes taking advantage of the natura gas resources that we have in this country. and that's obviously provided benefits because gas is so much

cleaner than some other fossil fuels. but we need to move forward. and you know the president, one of the major accomplishments of this administration and this area in energy and climate change that the car rule that the president instituted. again using his authority in cooperation with all of the major automobile companies to enhance fuel efficiency standards for our cars. and that's going to save a huge amount of money in the long run for the united states. and it's also going to prevent a huge amount of carbon pollution from being spewed into our air. and that provides benefits for the health of our children. these are the right things to do. and the president believes, absolutely, that the rule that will be announce today it the right thing to do. >> it will come down to the analysis of the right thing to do, versus how you get done. before i let you go, let's try to make news here, jay carney. is it true that the tough dwh g questioning that you received from cnn made you basically quit

and go home like a whiner and take over for cbs and late night? >> cnn and all the organizations represented behind me in the west wing when i go out and do my briefing. they're all out there doing the right thing. doing their jobs, in trying to get information to the american public to their viewers and readers. and it's been a privilege to be out there every day. sometimes, the atmosphere in the briefing room can be tough. but that's part of the job. i enjoy every minute of it. i've got a couple more weeks here to do that. and i look forward to it. >> jay, i have to tell you if this is any indication of what you're going to give at cbs and late night, you're not funny enough or too seriousy. >> no, i can pretty much guarantee you that will not be my next job. >> and just attack the media. you'll be fine. appreciate it, jay, good luck to you going forward. >> all right, chris. thank you. >> kate. coming up next on "new day," tv's favorite housekeeper remembered. we're going to take a look back at the legendary career of

davis mostly retired from showbiz, focusing her faith and volunteering at a denver homeless shelter. >> i have a place in my heart for places like this. >> reporter: she wasn't completely out of the spotlight, making a cameo appearance as a truck driver in the 1995 "brady bunch movie." >> i can't help but think what might have been, if i married young, had a family, three boys, three girls. a little voice says are you kidding? they'd probably treat you like a maid. >> reporter: davis will be remembered for helping two widowers raise six children and being a main stray of this non-traditional family as america tuned in. >> some of the happiest moments of my life have been spent in this house. >> reporter: i spoke with her a couple of months ago and she was doing great.

good morning and welcome to "new day." it's monday, june 2nd, 8:00 in the east. political battles are brewing on two fronts for president obama. first, a big shift in environmental policy is being announced to day, already making republicans and some democrats angry. but we do want to begin this hour with the release of bowe bergdahl, the american soldier who spent five years as a taliban prisoner. the deal to bring him home is not sitting well with many because five terror suspects

were freed in exchange. this is new video of them. you're seeing pictures right there as they arrived in qatar from guantanamo bay. did the deal put more americans at risk? let's start our coverage with nic robertson in germany where bergdahl is getting medical attention before being flown back to united states. nic, what's the latest? >> reporter: kate, he's now into his second day of treatment here. what doctors are doing is looking at his physical well-being, mental well-being. they call it a reintegration process. also, he'll be getting questions that might lead the army to have a better intelligence, if you will, about operations the taliban are planning right now. that, of course, will be a key part of the conversation here, lessons that can be learned by the military. all of this, of course, began almost five years ago. after almost five years of cab tift in afghanistan -- >> scared i won't be able to go

home. >> reporter: army sergeant bowe bergdahl is free and safe. now new details emerging about the secret recovery effort, three years in the making. according to u.s. defense officials, a so-called proof of life video sent by the 28-year-old last december, incited them to broker the deal. officials saying the soldier's sick appearance putting them on an advanced timetable. the deal, swapping these five detainees from guantanamo bay in a swap for bergdahl. >> release me, please. i'm begging you. bring me home. >> reporter: according to the "wall street journal," after days of waiting, the call to meet finally came. u.s. defense officials say it was around 10:30 in the morning on saturday when 18 armed taliban fighters led bergdahl to the border. in wait, special ops forces

backed by gun ships. bergdahl walks up to the u.s. commandos, talking to them right away. the american soldiers search him for e ploe sieves and verify his identity. quickly he was ushered onto a helicopter on route to bagram air base. on the helicopter, bergdahl reached for a paper plate, scribbling sf, question mark. asking commandos if they were special forces? after hearing they were, he broke down crying. after five years, america's last p.o.w. from the iraq and afghan conflicts was finally free. >> five years is a seemingly endless long time. but you've made it. >> reporter: bergdahl's parents who have not yet had contact with their son sent him this message. >> i'm proud of how much you wanted to help the afghan people and what you were willing to do

to go to that length. >> reporter: how long is it before sergeant bergdahl can be with his family? doctors here say they are working at a place that he is comfortable with. they're only be going learn now everything that he has been through. so they hope to get him back to his family as quickly as possible. how long? no one really quite yet knows that. chris? >> one of many questions in this situation nic robertson. thank you for the reporting in germany. you the condition of the sergeant now and what it will be like for him going forward. you have the obvious emotion of his family, and then you have this controversy. because the reaction has been decidedly mixed. there are legitimate concerns about the danger this deal could present to other americans overseas, both from the freed terror suspects that are now being monitored, whatever that means, and would-be criminals who may try to bartter with other american lives. let's bring in cnn's joe johns who has more on what the

officials are saying about the deal. what do we know? >> reporter: these detainees who got their freedom as a result of this prisoner swap has been described as the worst of the worst, which raises the question whether the u.s. government's deal could incentivize other terrorist organizations to try to kidnap more americans to get their own hostage deals in the future. >> it's a good day. >> reporter: a day after the president's emotional celebration with bowe bergdahl's parents in the rose garden, tough questions for his national security adviser susan rice on cnn's "state of the union" with candy crowley. >> point-blank, did the u.s. negotiate with terrorists for his release? >> what we did is ensure as always that the united states doesn't leave a man or woman on the battlefield. >> reporter: rice said his health justified congress not telling congress 30 days beforehand. >> there was a conscious decision to break the law

dealing with the detainees? >> no. the department of defense consulted with the department of justice, tvs our view it was appropriate and necessary to do this in order to bring sergeant bergdahl back safely. >> reporter: rice says qatar's amir assured that the detainees would not pose a risk. >> there are restrictions on their movement and behavior. i'm not in a position to get at the precise detail. >> reporter: the house intelligence chairman countered that there's now a price on american soldiers' heads. >> we have a changing footprint in afghanistan that would put our soldiers at risk for this notion that if i can get one, i can get five taliban released. >> reporter: defense secretary chuck hagel insists this was about saving a soldier's life. >> we didn't negotiate with terrorists. sergeant bergdahl is a prisoner of war. >> reporter: this law the administration is accused of violating requires a president to notify congress about the transfer of prisoners from

guantanamo bay. the administration says it believes that law is unconstitutional because it can be seen as violating the president's power as commander in chief of the armed services, chris. >> also, of course, the president they believe can circumvent that law when there's extreme necessity which is why we're hearing about the concerns about bergdahl's health and the need to make this happen in a very small window. that's the battleground on that analysis. thanks to joe johns for that. we'll follow up with that. right now, we want to turn to sherry wharton. she's a friend of the bergdahls and has known bowe since he was 19 years old. thank you for joining us. how is the family doing? >> i haven't chatted with them today. i just had a few seconds with them yesterday. they seem to be doing fine. always great to watch them on tv. i'm seeing them about the same amount that you are. i have had a few texts from them. they seem to be doing just fine. >> we know the commitment of this family and this community to bringing bowe home has been the stuff of legend.

what sustained them all these years when so little was known about whether bowe would ever come home? >> they are a very, very strong family. they are strong personalities, strong in faith, strong in so many different ways. the community rallying, we've changed ribbons every six months. bowe has never been far out of our mind, and the community which has helped keep them focused and strong and committed to getting him back. >> has the family heard what we have heard, that obviously this is going to be a really difficult reintegration process and bowe may be stluging with wreck ligs lex of the language? >> i haven't spoken with them about that. it's not a surprise to anybody here. we all knew -- our main focus was getting him home. as soon as he could get home, we knew it would be a long uphill battle going forward from there. there's no -- we didn't expect bowe to come bouncing off a

plane when he got back to the u.s. we knew that from everything he has gone through, that this is going to be a battle. it's going to take a lot of support, community, his family, everything else. we're a tight-knit community, so, of course, the resources we can give him here are already in place to really, you know, help him with whatever he needs and help jayne and bob with whatever they need. it's going to be an uphill battle for not just the family, but the community, because we all want what's best for him. >> there's all this speculation about the circumstances surrounding his capture. i know you don't know anything about that. in understanding the e-mails and messages he's sent over the years, they say you need to understand who this guy is. what can you tell us about who he is in terms of the particular nature of his personality? >> bowe was always trying to explore new things. he was always reading books on different relidge ovegions and

exploring those, learning different languages. he was always trying to go up the ladder to find the next level of something to interest him. so he's very curious and very -- i think curious is the best word. >> when we read these things that he said, oh, if this gets too boring, i may go find china, and what's on the other side of those mountains. those are being taken as potential hints that he was thinking of leaving. do you offer a different perspective in. >> in the whole time i've known bowe, bowe has never been acquitter, never been one to back out of a challenge. bowe has never been one to stop what he was doing. on the flip side of that, yes, he was curious, but also committed to finishing everything he started, be it getting his belts in karate or martial arts, learning ballet, whatever it was he decided to do. he never was one to walk away or

to quit. >> an interesting mix there. he took karate and ballet. a little speaking the the dimension of what makes him different. let me ask you, how is the community, somehow the family dealing with this controversy surrounding the deal now, about whether it was worth it and what it may mean? how do they deal with that? >> our community right now is taking that in stride. we are more excited about getting him back and having him finally released. it's been five long years of us hoping and praying that things were going to happen and that he would be home, and that's really the focus of the community right now. there isn't a lot of talk any other way. haley is so close and so tight that all we have wanted for five years and now that we have is him back, and that's all we're focused on here. >> is that tough for the family, though, hearing those kinds of things about what brought their son home? >> we haven't actually -- they've been traveling since

this all happened. like i said, i've talked to them via text a couple times. that's about all from what i know. i haven't spoken to him anymore than that. >> if bowe can hear you, you want him to know you're waiting for him at home? >> i can't wait. big hugs when he gets back. >> sherry horton, thank you for talking to us about this this morning. >> thank you very much. on another front, the white house is making a big announcement and deflecting criticism on the environment. president obama using his executive authority to take on climate change with a new plan to cut carbon emissions from power plants by 30% by the year 2030. erin mcpike is following these developments from washington. what are we learning about the announcement from the administration today? >> reporter: president obama couldn't get congress to pass a cap and trade bill in his first term. he's using a loophole to address climate change himself. he's traveling to europe

tonight. epa chief gina mccarthy is doing it instead. he will hold a conference call with american lung association as he tries to show how these changes will be good for your health. president obama is going around congress to force a steep 30% cut in carbon emissions, so-called greenhouse gases from co coal-powered fire plants, proposing new epa regulations to take his strongest action yet against climate change. >> as president and as a parent i refuse to condemn our children to a planet that's beyond fixing. >> reporter: linking the move to health problems like asthma, he taped his weekly address at the children's national medical center. >> often these illnesses are aggravated by air pollution. pollution from the same sources that release carbon and contribute to climate change, and for the sake of all our kids, we've got to do more to

reduce it. >> reporter: the new rules reportedly would give states and local governments wide latitude in how to reduce carbon pollution, aguirre allowing them to encourage solar and wind power instead of forcing power plants to close. in this midterm election year, it's a strategy designed to go head-to-head with republicans who are making hay of the arms these regulations would do to the coal industry. >> the administration has set out to kill coal and its 800,000 jobs. if it succeeds in death by regulation, we'll all be paying a lot more money for electricity if we can get it. >> reporter: the u.s. chamber of commerce estimates it will cost the economy $50 billion a year. advocates say those claims are exaggerated. >> this is something we can't put off. the president deserves huge credit for making this his legacy. >> reporter: republicans are adamantly opposed to anything that smells like cap and trade or that could be bad for the coal industry.

that's especially true in coal country where there are a handful of nail-biter senate races democrats need to win to hold on to the upper chamber, kentucky, north carolina, louisiana. this is obviously risky for the president. >> interesting to see how they respond to those accusations coming from the right when that does happen. erin, thank you very much. john berman is in for michaela with today's top stories. breaking overnight. millions of images from e-mails and social media are reportedly being intercepted by the nsa.

good. up next on "new day," we're going to be breaking down the bergdahl debate. did the government do things the right way when freeing the captive soldier? or will the prisoner exchange lead to serious implications down the road. you hear about pro golfer phil mickelson? they say he's caught up in an insider trading scandal. it's just a probe. these are just allegations. the athlete is going to be speaking out. we'll tell you what he has to say coming up. you'd do that for me? really? yeah, i'd like that. who are you talking to? uh, it's jake from state farm. sounds like a really good deal. jake from state farm at three in the morning. who is this? it's jake from state farm. what are you wearing, jake from state farm?

welcome back to "new day." pro golfer phil mickelson along with bill nair investor carl icahn and a well-known sports

gambler are being investigated by the fbi following suspicions of insider trading, it involves stock trades made in 2011 after icahn bought shares in clorox and later announced a takeover bid causing the shares to rise. the fbi is looking into whether mickelson had insider knowledge of the takeover bit and cashed in. mickelson has denied any wrongdoing. jeffrey toobin, senior cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor is here to discuss. no charges have been filed yet, jeff. they're trying to figure out if icahn passed along non-public information to this vegas gambler and he and mickelson were able to benefit. how difficult is it for that to establish? that's the whole core of the case, right? >> these cases are very hard to make because of a simple reason. it's not unlawful to get a stock tip and trade on it and make

money. what is unlawful is if you, as the recipient of the tip, the so-called tipee, the receiver of a tip, know that the information you're receiving is improper, is insider information. it's very difficult to prove on the part of a stock buyer, a tipee mike mickelson that he knew the information he could he shouldn't have had. at least that is what seems to have stopped this investigation. remember, this stock trade was in 2011. the fbi has been investigating it for a long time, and they haven't been able to make a case. >> and still, and the fact that this all kind of leaked out before any charges were filed. is that a big problem for this probe, the fact that it's now out there and they still need to work through -- still need to figure out if they're going to file charges? >> this makes it much harder. usually you want someone to cooperate, someone, if possible, to wear a wire, get admissions.

now, of course, the investigation is public, and if this investigation continues, they'll have to subpoena documents, interview people in the grand jury. everybody will have lawyered up. it's much harder to make a case like this once it's out in the open. >> an interesting element of this is that icahn said he doesn't even know phil mickelson, he doesn't know him and this is kind of a chain -- not a chain reaction, but kind of how they're connected is through a chain of events. how does that play into this? >> it's still unlawful to trade on insider information if you get it secondhand. if you know it's improperly obtained, it's still a crime to trade on it. unless you have evidence that the tipee, the trader of the stock knew that the information was improper, you still can't make a case. yes, it's theoretically possible that he could have gotten

improper information secondhand, even from -- if he didn't know carl icahn. it makes the case even harder to make. >> part of the whole interest in this are the big names involved, but also interesting because the government has been taking this on, cracking down -- trying to at least crack down on insider trading. they have a pretty good record as far as i can see, some 85 convictions or guilty pleas out of the 90 people charged since 2009. do you think this case is different from cases past? >> i think the fact they haven't brought a case suggests they don't have a case. he's not only -- phil mickelson, billy wallace who is the gambler, they're not only innocent until proven guilty. they're not even charged with anything. i think we need to keep that in mind. but i think, also, what makes this so interesting is it takes place on the golf course. golf courses are places where people talk about stocks. it's obviously a sport played by

a lot of wealthy people. certainly you can imagine how people would want to ingratiate themselves with a great golfer like phil mickelson, i have a hot stock tip for you, mickelson might have traded on it. that's not unlawful. the only thing unlawful is if they know it's based on inside information. it's been three years since this trade. the fbi hasn't been able to prove anything. it suggests that maybe there's no smoke, no fire, nothing wrong. >> that's a very good point jeffrey toobin, thank you so much. coming up on "new day," a u.s. soldier is released five years after being held by the taliban. will the deal that freed sergeant bowe bergdahl put other americans in danger? we have a debate coming up for you so you can decide. terrifying video out of colorado, another children's bounce house picked up by a huge gust of wind and thrown around injuring two kids inside. why does this keep happening? are they safe? what you wear to bed is your business.

(anncr vo) that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. it is time now for the five things you need to know for your new day. number one, the prisoner exchange to bring down american p.o.w. bowe bergdahl in exchange for five terror suspects is coming under fire. a senior defense official tells

us that bergdahl has not been classified as a deserter and is still scheduled to be promoted to staff sergeant. president obama using his executive authority to make a major push to address global warming, cutting emissions by 30% by 2030. a nationwide manhunt is under way for a san francisco man believed to be in possession of explosive materials. fbi officials say ryan kelly chamberlin is considered armed and dangerous. golfer phil mickelson and billionaire carl icahn is denying any wrongdoing in connection with insider trading. today first lady michelle obama is scheduled to speak at a ceremony that marks the construction of a new submarine in rhode island. the future "u.s.s. illinois" is named after the obama's home state. we're always updating the five things you need to know, go to newdaycnn.com for the latest. breaking overnight, sergeant bowe bergdahl is in germany for

medical treatment, released this weekend after being held for five years by the taliban. the deal gave him his freedom in exchange for the release of five taliban leaders held at guantanamo bay prison. it was not run past congress first. this was not a new deal, by the way. it had been negotiated over the course of years. the actual execution of it wasn't told to lawmakers, and one issue is was that a violation of law? they're supposed to get 30 days' notice. there are many issues here. this is very complicated. we have ana navarro and donna brazile. ana is a republican strategist and donna, commentator and democratic strategist. thank you very much for joining us. donna brazile, let's begin. why is this deal a good deal? >> well, this brings home an american who was captured. it frees him and we should celebrate that and congratulations to the bergdahl

family. they'll get to spend the 4th of july hopefully with their son. that's a cause for celebration. there is some controversy. there's always controversy when it involves swapping a prisoner of war for other prisoners. and i think that controversy will continue to go unabated and, lastly, i'm sure because of the president's executive authority, that this was an extraordinary circumstance and he used that authority to work with a third party, that is, the government of qatar, to have him released and they were the ones responsible for taking to the taliban for the prisoner swap. >> so ana, looking at this as a function of history why there's outrage, didn't reagan do a deal where he exchanged arms for p.o.w.s? why is this getting such outcry from the republicans? >> i think it's getting outcry, chris, for several reasons. first of all, i want to agree

with donna, that it is cause for celebration when an american is returned home. we should all join in that celebration with the bergdahl family. that being said, that doesn't mean there aren't serious concerns for several reasons. number one, we negotiated with terrorists. the fact that qatar is the one negotiating stretches credibility. it sets a very bad precedent. second of all, at what price did we negotiate? we have just handed over to the taliban five leaders, as you call them, five battle hardened taliban leaders. one of them identified by the united nations as having killed thousands of shiite muslims. these are people who may likely go back into battle. it sets, also, that bad precedent. third, what does this mean in the future? are there going to be more americans that are taken hostage, more americans that are in in prison, so in order to get other taliban released.

it's a very slippery slope that should be of great concern to us all. >> two issues to respond to, donna. even though reagan did a deal before, you are hedging saying you didn't negotiate with terrorists when it seems like you did. you say you can monitor the bad guys once you let them go and there's little assurance you can. >> of course we're going monitor these bad guys. by the way, we should close down guantanamo bay. it's time that we stop pretending as if that prison down there in cuba is somehow or another holding all the bad guys. it has human rights abuses, civil rights abuses, it's time we figure out a way to close that thing down once and for all. look, this was an extraordinary circumstance. when my dad went to war and i'm sure other parents and children of war, they're told that we will come and get you. we did in the case of mr. bergdahl. we did go out and we got him. that is something, again, a

cause for celebration. in terms of what secretary hagel said yesterday, he said, look, we had conversations with a third party. we negotiated and we got him released. in terms of the future, i hope that we will not allow these criminals and these prisoners from gitmo bay who are now in qatar to return to their previous line of work. they were taliban officials prior to the united states' invasion of afghanistan in 2001. i hope we don't let them go back on the battlefield. if we do, i'm sure we'll hunt them down and bring them to justice again. >> there's a little bit that you have it both ways on both sides of the debate. you saying you didn't negotiate with terrorists, but you did. if it's third party or otherwise, it's still a negotiation. for you, ana, we're happy he's home but we don't like the way he got home. this is what you have to do to

get him back. >> yes, you can, chris. of course you have to be happy when you see there's going to be an american returning to his family. but at the same time, you have to wonder to yourself and think and ask the question at what price and does this make sense? what is this going to mean -- >> this was the deal for years. >> -- for american lives in the future? is it going to put more lives at cost? we're returning the the battlefield, we're returning the taliban who are today celebrating. the taliban one of the most powerful pool las of the taliban who hadn't been seen in engineers is celebrating this deal. >> ana, under this president we have gotten more of those bad guys -- >> finish your point, donna. >> under this president, we have captured and brought to justice many of these individuals, and i can rest assured, and maybe everybody can rest assured, but there's one thing i know about our military, is that they will

go out and find you. it may take time, but they will find you. so i am confident that whatever celebration the taliban is having today, it is going to be short lived. i'm sure we're still looking for those bad guys. >> one other point on this. this deal has been made for years. it's been going on for at least three years. the surprise of it, ana, you knew it was going to be the deal. why did you have to avoid the law, donna and not give 30 days' notice. no problem he was dealing with any urgent diagnosis. why did the president go around the law? >> because he thought there was extraordinary measures, that he was in declining health. as you know, in the statement most recently, the administration said in special circumstances he will use his executive authority to ensure that americans who are in harm's way are brought back safely.

so i trust the administration, that they went to the justice department, that it's legal and no other issue. in terms of going around congress, i'm an old congressional staffer. i wish the administration would have involved congress and they didn't involve the afghanistan government. they didn't want it leaked out. >> that's understanding, a dearth of trust between the u.s. and afghanistan. let me ask you this, ana -- >> the answer to your question is very -- the answer to your question is 1i78. the reason he didn't go to congress is because congress would have raised serious questions, grave concerns about who these five guys we were swapping are. they would have raised grave concerns about negotiating with terrorists and many in congress, including tell drats, would not have liked what the precedent that we are setting. it would have raised hell in congress. the president knows that. that's why he skirted congress. >> you have to go all the way back to george washington and thomas jefferson. they were dealing with rogue

regimes and pirates and everybody else. every president has used some authority to get americans back home safely. >> one thing is certainly true, ana navarro and donna brazile, congress has abrogated a lot of its constitutional authority when it comes to war to presidents. it's been happening since world war ii. congress has decided to take a back seat and play it both ways. they've allowed the president to go on his own and then complaining about it later. sometimes it comes back to bite them. thanks for joining us on this debate. >> thank you, chris. >> thank you. coming up next on "new day," another bounce house scare. another gust of wind tosses it across a colorado field trapping two kids inside. more on their frightening ordeal. a historic day 60 feet beneath our ocean's surface. you're taking a live look at explorer fabien cousteau and his team who have set up the world's only underwater laboratory. what is he doing down there?
