crew is. for me, it was like, you were just part of something really great, of history happening. >> the story behind the famous photo. "cnn tonight" starts now. >> this is "cnn tonight", i'm don lemon. walking off his observation post in the middle of the night in afghanistan and disappears. nearly five years later, his government trades five prisoners to free him from the taliban. that's what we know about bowe bergdahl. was he a deserter? is the deal that freed him a mistake? is it even legal? and what was the white house thinking? that's our big debate tonight. plus the rising gop star who says obama care is as bad as slavery and compares america to nazi germany and dr. ben carson is absolutely serious. he is here tonight. well talk to him about that and more. also the boy with the golden voice himself, the voice of god, morgan freeman is here.

we want to know what you think about all these stories. make sure to use the hashtag, ask don. but first, my make on bowe bergdahl, the transition happened at lightning speed. last night on this program alan dershowitz said it could become unpolitical and sadly it has. organizing media interviews with some of the soldiers who served with bergdahl, i don't think anyone has a problem with these young speaking their peace. they have earned that right. in fact, they have fought for it. but many might request the operative encourage them to speak out. turns out, you don't have to. especially when the democratic administration in charge appears to have completely misjudged the impact of the negotiations, the release, bipartisan dismay and reaction from bergdahl's fellow soldiers. the army sergeant hasn't said one word about how or why he went missing or answered any questions in any investigation.

until that happens, anybody anyone, including the white house, could withhold judgment and not turn this into a political talking point. now let's go in-depth on the bergdahl. the political storm shows no signs of clearing any time soon. tom foreman has that. >> reporter: the bergdahl deal is under siege. the president saying it was clear and clean. one army sergeant is coming home. >> we still have one army sergeant coming home that was in captivity. full stop. we don't condition that. >> >> reporter: but the uproar in congress, especially republicans, is growing louder. >> it is just wrong. >> i don't like the deal. >> reporter: what makes them think this trade stinks? for starters all five insurgence were reporters for the taliban.

accused terrorists now set free. never mind they will be held in qatar for a year. >> it is ill-founded. it is a mistake and it is putting the lives of american servicemen and women at risk and that to me is unacceptable to the american people. >> reporter: next, there is bergdahl's own record. accusations growing from flow troops deserted them in combat costing lives of other soldiers. >> like he walked away. >> some say they are glad he was rescued but his behavior must be investigated that the deal to bring him home could have long-term consequence that the president may not have had the right it make it anyway. historians acknowledge a long history of such swaps. george washington traded captured british soldiers to get americans back. abraham lincoln did the same between north and south.

jimmy carter tried to barter for hostages. ronald reagan swarmed arms for americans held abroad. but some legal analyst say president obama undermined u.s. law itself by failing to inform congress as required that this deal was imminent. jonathan tourly from george washington university. >> it is like the all terrain vehicle of constitutions. the only thing that will bring it down is if you go outside the rules. and i'm afraid he did that. >> reporter: it may all be making the bergdahl deal look politically less triumphant and more toxic by the day. cnn, washington. >> all right, tom foreman, thank you very much for that. joining me now, cnn's gloria borger. also, assistant of state for plate cal affairs. and michael waltz security fellow of the new america foundation and author of upcoming bank "warrior diplomat, a green berets's battles from washington it afghanistan." good evening.

i appreciate all of you joining me. you served in the military as well as being a former under secretary of the army. does it matter to you if bowe bergdahl was a deserter or not? >> it does matter if he was a deserter or not. if it is man overboard, you don't ask, was he pushed over, did he fall over, was he drunk. it is man overboard and you pull him out. it is private ryan. and people die going after prisoners. and there will be an accountability. it matters a lot whether he was a deserter. but right now, first thing is first, that is to recover him. >> do you think this with a a

horrible deal but you also say that it should have been done. correct? >> i agree. there is no doubt that we should have done everything in our power to bring any soldier off the battlefield back. we have left them behind in the past. north korean -- the american who deserted, went across the line in north korea and stayed there for many years, we didn't make the effort to do that, so it is not holistic over the years. but whenever we have the opportunity to bring a soldier back, we have a moral obligation. not only for that particular soldier but for all future soldiers that we put on the battlefield that they know that their country will be with them throughout. >> seems like most members of the military, people who served, had similar sentiments. maybe the criticism we have been seeing, gloria borger, is mostly from the critical side. it is said hilary clinton opposed this deal, as far back as 2011, 2012. taliban detainees were deemed too high of a risk. we reported that in past. what happened to change this calculation.

>> as the general just said, i do not believe there is a political discussion about whether the united states should have tried to bring bowe bergdahl home. everybody agrees, that is what we do. i think the political questions that are being asked are first of all was this the right deal. was it a good deal. this is what was debated internally at the administration for quite some time. the administration was divided on that. i think that's a big issue. which is, was it the right deal to strike. did we strike it with really bad guys who are going to come back and hurt us. again. and the second issue here in washington is, should the president actually have consulted with congress. and there is part after whole issue with president obama. when you have the democratic

chairwoman of the senate intelligence committee, and i'm expressing democratic here, say that this was a problem that she needed to know about because she had been in discussions about this over the years. i think it makes you wonder, gee, wouldn't the white house have been wiser, forgetting the legality, i believe the president does have the right to do this, would it have been wiser for the white house to bring people inside this decision. >> i think you're exactly right on that. you don't have to go out of your way to politicize this. democrats are upset about it. republicans are upset about it as well. michael to you, back on the bat em field, an as an army special officer, you commanded those in search for bowe bergdahl in 2009. does it matter if he left on his own or if he went missing? >> it absolutely makes a difference. i was conducting our missions. everything from reconstruction operations to getting ready for the afghan presidential

elections in 2009 to hunting taliban commanders. we stopped everything when sergeant bergdahl went missing. and stopped everything and went after him. men died searching for sergeant bergdahl. and we were -- we believed at the time and believe today he deserted his post. makes a huge difference whether you go for someone because they were captured on the battlefield or left voluntarily and walked into the hands of the enemy. >> do you think he should have been brought home safely? would you have gone to get him? >> absolutely. when we deploy overseas, we know there is a chance we could get captured. we know the united states will do everything in its power to bring us home. but we also know that we're not going to be bargained for. there won't be a ransom. there won't be terrorists, in

this case, the taliban war cabinet. as one afghan told me earlier today, the charles mansons of afghan society handed over for us. no one disputes and no one is arguing that sergeant bergdahl should have been brought home. but we are questioning the price we paid for him. >> all right. general, i want to get this in. we learned a 2009 investigation, pentagon investigation, into bergdahl's disappearance concluded he left on his own accord because his weapon, night vision goggles, bulletproof vest were all left behind. and he wasn't classified as a deserter because they didn't know his intent. will we ever be able to prove what his intent was after five years in captivity. will we be able to prove that even if he is investigated, questioned and interrogated. >> if is the overwhelming preponderance of evidence. >> he will have to answer and from that truth will emerge.

if you believe his soldiers and peers, they are pretty convinced. that's persuasive evidence when you have your peers saying this guy deserted. this guy left his behind. this guy left us in the battlefield. this guy put us out on the battlefield to find him because he chose not to do his duty. that enough would be, if proven true, would be enough to convict him in my mind. >> general, joe, michael, gloria, everyone stay with me. when we come back, is president obama going to regret this picture. we will talk about that. also, dr. ben carson is here. he said he has the formula it save america's future. he also says obama care is slavery. so this should be very interesting.

president obama stood in the rose garden with bergdahl's family at his side. is the commander-in-chief paying a higher political price than he thought. with me is gloria borger, mark kemity, joe reeder and michael waltz. gloria, did the white house underestimate the fallout from

this deal? >> i think they did. i think they had a rose garden ceremony, which they thought would be widely applauded. and then the stories came out from bergdahl's peers about the circumstances of his disappearance and his capture. and word game out about these bad guys that were part of this deal. and so, i think that while the white house clearly understood that there was going to be a reaction against the trade, because these are bad guys, i don't think they anticipated the degree to which people would be up in arms about this because of the testimony of bergdahl's peers and com patriots as soldiers. >> would you have advised him to do this deal knowing what we know now? >> i don't think i would have a problem with him doing the deal. but the demeanor which he

advertised it and promoted it with the rose garden ceremony with the, this is a joyous day, this soldier served with honor and distinction, that kind of wrapping put on this event is probably what caused the largest amount of trouble to the average american citizen. that's what's getting us in trouble. if this had been handled in a different manner, recognizing this was probably the best after lot of bad options, i think the american people would have been more supportive of the action that he took than the reaction that he's getting now. >> initially if the president said what he said today in europe, listen, no matter what the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, we still have to bring him home, and left it at that, are you saying, general, there probably wouldn't be the backlash? >> i think that's right. especially with what his fellow soldiers are saying about him. this would have gone over much better had the president been more somber about this and some of his advisers on tv been more somber about this.

>> and the intelligence was there, according to most of the sources, knowing about the possibility of bergdahl being a potential deserter. but the complaints from congress that they were not informed, politically is it easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission here? >> it is, don. though i would have, with the senator, i would have consulted with them. but i'm having a very hard time monday morning quarterbacking here. the president is accountable for his judgment and this will come out. more about the deal will come out. we will probably never know everything there is to know. but hey, you know, israel swapped a you this palestinians for one israeli soldier. and i don't think we've ever gone through a calculus in advance of hey, he's not worth it kind of thing.

nor am i very comfortable prejudging what some soldiers say. what they are saying as amply pointed out is more troublesome. but the first thing's first, in the words of general dempsey, he will answer to the music. and we'll all be there. >> i'm curious with you saying we probably won't know everything. listen, i'm sure the white house, i'm sure the administration officials know a lot more than we do, obviously more than his comrades on the battlefield know. do you think that will change, do you think we will ever get that information, and is there something in that information possibly that will change our minds? >> we will get more information, don. how much -- what troubles me is he was promoted twice absentia. there are still questions to be asked. we will get more --

>> and there is declass -- well, congress is asking to declassify some documents about this entire transaction. and so, there are going to be congressional oversight hearings, after the fact, albeit, but i think we will unspool this a little more as time goes on. >> fair enough. michael, susan rice said on sunday on talk shows, that bowe bergdahl served with honor and distinction. in your view, did he do that? >> i just want to follow up on the point of him being afforded pow status. i think to, you know, probably the average viewer, that sounds, you know, fairly normal. that's a distinctive status that is bestowed upon someone. that affords you the promotions, affords you back pay, essentially affords you a lifetime of benefits. and to put this gentleman in the same vein as our pows from the death march, heroic pilots shot

down over vietnam and tortured in what hanoi hilton, is frankly an insult to those fine gentlemen and to the men and women who died looking for bowe bergdahl and aren't going to enjoy -- >> honor and distinction. >> -- a tearful -- a tearful reunion with their parents over the weekend. from every indication i have, being on the ground, he walked off his post. he abandoned his duty. and fine men and women died looking for him. and he deserves to be held for account. >> thank you. up next, a favorite of the conservatives and not afraid to speak his mind. he compared obama care to slavery and was applauded for it. i look forward to speaking with ben carson, there he is, on the other side of this break.

how you doing? >> i'm doing very well, thank you. >> great. before we get into your book, i want to talk to you about -- and before we talk to you about your political aspirations, i'm curious as to what you make of president obama's handling of bowe bergdahl. >> i think there are a level of problems. first of all, we released these terrorists. these are not amateurs. these are real dangerous people. and to believe that they're not going to cause more harm is probably a little naive. the other thing is, you know, bergdahl was not really a pow. he was really a hostage. and i think the analysis that will go on will demonstrate to be true. and if this is the case, it will be the first time, that i know of, is that we as a nation negotiated with terrorists. which sets a precedent. >> the administration said they

had to act fast to make the deal because bergdahl's health was failing. as a doctor, do you appreciate that particular motive of freeing an american soldier, who, as you said, held hostage? >> i understand what they say, and that's why i say, further investigation will reveal what truth is. and the third issue is that an administration that has already been accused of ignoring congress, taking this step without consultation, probably just exacerbates the situation. >> right. and the administration said it would be the most transparent administration in history. since this prayer breakfast speech, you made some very controversial statements. >> and i have to tell you, you know, obama care is, i think, the worst thing that has

happened in this nation since slavery. and it is in a way, it is slavery under way. because it is making all of us subservient to the government. >> i have to tell you that i was watching that and i was con founded about what you meant. how can you compare a health care program to oppression and abuse of black people in this country? >> okay, i can tell you very easily. if you listen carefully to what i said, i said it is the worst thing since slavery. there are those that say i said it is equivalent to slavery, who don't understand how the english language works. it is like one kid on the school ground, he is talking about your momma and then goes to the other kid, he is talking about your momma, so they can fight, rather

than talking about the issue. we have turned off to the government the most important thing we have, which is our health and health care. and for those who are well read, they will know that many people who have not had the interest of the united states at heart, have advocated making the population dependent in order to achieve the quote, utopian society. >> let me jump in there. >> and the best way -- >> you said -- i understand where you are going. you said the best way to do that is to could be troll people through health care. but you're saying that, these have been influenced by people who didn't have america's best interest at heart. are you saying the president and this administration don't have the americans' best interest at heart? >> no. i'm talking about the neomarkist. this literature is easy to find. >> but you're comparing it to the obama administration. and to obama care. >> what i am saying is factual,

historical information. now you can make whatever illusions you'd like to make to that in order to try to inflame the situation. >> i'm not trying to inflame the situation. i'm trying to understand it. you say you are not talking about the obama administration but you are comparing obama care to that and say that the way that people have been controlled is -- >> i'm comparing obama care -- what am i comparing -- >> you compare to a slavery. you say in a way it is slavery -- >> did i just tell you -- did i just tell that you it is not the worst thing since -- that it is not comparable it slavery? slavery is a horrible, horrible thing. can i tell you a lot of things about it. but the reason that this is the next worst thing is because it is taking the most important thing that you have and subjecting it to control by the government. that is the first step to government control of everything.

again, this is easily verifiable by those who are historical and indulge in reading history. >> this is where people would take issue. world with a are 2 was bad. vietnam was bad. d-day was bad. japanese camp is were bad. all these things were terrible and they happened since slavery and you say obama care is worse than all of those things. >> i do say that, yes. all of those things are bad. but those do not fundamentally change the united states. >> okay. >> this is the beginning after fundamental change of moving away from a government that is formed by the people to a government that is for of and by the government it flies in the face of what america is all about. >> okay. i want to move on now to the v.a. scandal and read what you said about the v.a. just last month. i think that's what happening with the veteran says a gift from god to show us what happens but when you take layers and layers of bureaucracy and place

them between the patients and health care providers. a gift from god? granted, no one thinks that the v.a. is performing properly but veterans may have died waiting for care. do you regret at all saying that? >> let me tell you what that means. most people know what i'm talking about. it demonstrates to us very easily, without a lot of subdeview, layers and layers between patients and health care providers. it makes it crystal clear what's going to happen. that's why it's a gift from god, to show that to people. now, i know that some left wing people have said, carson said that god wants veterans to die. i don't think anyone with any sense actually believes that. >> but doctor, you just said that you think that the rhetoric should be toned down in this country. and you know, you can't go over

and say, she said this about you. but when you use comparisons like that and words like that, then you don't really -- then you're ratcheting up the rhetoric. you don't think so? >> it only ratchets up the rhetoric when people misinterpret it. when people listen to what i say, it doesn't ratchet it up at all. >> what's wrong with america, in your view, and why do you feel compelled to write this book, doctor? >> well, the reason it's called one nation is because, our unity is where we derive our strength. there are forces trying to drive their wedge in between any crack they can find. hence we have all those wars. race wars, income wars, age wars, gender wars. there's a war on virtually everything. and of course that comes right out of the pages of "rules for

radicals." divide and conquer. we should be looking at ways to unite people. i know there are some on the left who say, but you're saying bad things about other people. what i'm doing is shedding light on what is going on in america. >> so you have written a book. hillary clinton has a book coming out. you did pretty well in the straw poll and people have been talking about possible presidential aspirations. would you run for president? >> certainly it is not something i desire to say. you are have to be a little nutty to do a position like that. i notice everybody who goes in there for four or eight years looks like they've been there for 20. having had already a very arduous career, i wasn't looking forward to that. but i do recognize that sometimes we're placed in positions that we're not of our choosing. so you know, i'm keeping my eyes and ears open. we'll see what happens. i'll be very interested in what happened in november.

because american people will have an opportunity to state pretty clearly whether they want to continue down this path of increasing government control over our lives, or whether they would rather move back to a nation that is for of and by the people. and that will inform a lot of decisions by me. >> i have to run. i take that as a yes. we will see new november. i appreciate you coming on. i appreciate the honest conversation. coming up, big night in eight states with primary results pouring in. we'll have the very latest. that's next. plus a man who can make anything sound good. the one and only, morgan freeman. avo: waves don't care what age you are. take them on the way you always have. live healthy and take one a day men's 50+. a complete multivitamin with 7 antioxidants to support cell health. age? who cares.

we have breaking news tonight. election results across the nation are in. this is super tuesday in the primary season. with a bitter mudslinging war in mississippi. joining me to talk about this, wolf blitzer and dana bash. wolf, why is mississippi so important tonight? >> in thad cochran loses to the challenger chris mcdaniel then a lot of establishment republicans fear that the tea party winner,

that's chris mcdaniel, fear he would have a potentially tougher time winning against the democrat in november. although, mississippi is usually a pretty democratic state. one of the thing they fear about chris mcdaniel, dana can speak more about this, is when some of his supporters went into a nursing home and took pictures, very confidential pictures of thad cochran's wife who suffers from dementia, this was an alleged crime in the state of mississippi and a lot of establishment republicans fear those who oppose chris mcdaniel that potentially in coming months more details could emerge. supporters of chris mcdaniel were arrested. they are pretty nervous if they look at results right now. >> dana bash you are there in mississippi tonight. what's the very latest? >> it is so incredibly tight. we knew that this was going to be neck and neck. but nail-biting like this, maybe not so much. i think our understanding is about 80% of the precincts are

reporting. at this point, chris mcdaniel has a slight, slight edge at 50%. that could flip because it has been flipping a. >> we watch these returns come in. there is so much nervousness here at cochran headquarters as you can imagine. as you watch on the ground, it is hard for both campaigns to really track the voter turnout. really track how well each side can do. because, this is in many ways unprecedented. the reason i say that is because, thad cochran has been in the senate as wolf mentioned for 36 years. when he won, he was the first republican since reconstruction to win in mississippi. he hasn't had a primary since. so there has been any precedent for this kind of race. only on the presidential level have you seen the focus on republican turnout and in small numbers and in primary. that's why it is hard -- i talked to people running both

campaigns at the highest levels and they admitted it was very hard for them to tell if what they were doing was working or not. this is why it is so incredibly close. as wolf said, big picture. this has been huge for the tea party nationally. because they he afford millions of dollars here. they felt this was their last gasp to try to topple a member of the republican establishment. and with chris mcdaniel, the 42-year-old, kind of upstart, was their chance to do that. >> is this a race victory for november? >> the republicans if they want the majority in the senate they need a net gain of six. there is a republican in mississippi, assuming that stays a republican, whether thad cochran or chris mcdaniel wins in november, that's not necessarily a begin for the republicans. other states like iowa, for example, there's a contest going on in iowa right now. there's an incumbent tom harkin who is retiring. so if republicans pick up a seat

there, that would be significant. but it's drama. tea party watching establishment unfolding right now. >> thank you very much. when we come back, morgan freeman on the american dream. pulling yourself up by your boot straps and the secret to his amazing voice. sea captain: there's a narratorstorm cominhe storm narrator: that whipped through the turbine which poured... surplus energy into the plant which generously lowered its price and tipped off the house which used all that energy to stay warm through the storm. chipmunk: there's a bad storm comin! narrator: the internet of everything is changing how energy works. is your network ready?" this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location.
