fox new urgent for five years he endowered captivity in the hands of the taliban, but tonight the only american pow in afghanistan is a free man. i am julie bandaras. president obama speaking in the white house rose garden speaking about the release about army sergeant bergdahl. >> this morning i called john and danny bergdahl and that after five years in captivity their son bo, is coming home. sergeant bergdahl missed birthdays and holidays and simple moments with families and

friends. but while bo was gone, he was not forgotten. >> bergdahl will head home soon after a five year ordeal. he is safely back with the soldiers there. he will have a thorough medical evaluation. he was handed over with two navy seals in a deal. five detaines are made. news was made to the family back in iddaho. jennifer has the latest. jennifer, the president spoke and what else did he say? >> reporter: he appeared alongsi alongside bo's parents.

>> while bo was gone he was never forgoodnight. his parents prayed for him every day. as did his sister skye who prayed for his safe return. he was not forgotten by the community in iddaho or the military. and he was not forgot ep by his country, because the united states of america does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind. >> we'll stay strong for bo while he recovers. >> right now bo is having trouble speaking english. i am your father, bo. >> bo father was learning the language spoken in that part of afghanistan and pakistan. >> how did the transfer go down. >> reporter: it is it a deal that was in the works to trade

five gitmofor america's only living prison of war. the helicopter landed near pakistan border in eastern afghanistan with seals on board and met by 18 armed taliban. and today bergdahl was a bit disoriented and confused and took a pen and writing because it is so loud. sf, special forces and seals with bergdahl responded loudly said yes, we have looked for you a long time. he broke down crying. according to the senior u.s. defense officials he is in a weakened state but could walk on his own and held by the taliban for four years and ten months, julie. >> it is hard to believe when you talk about the time. he was in captivity since 2009.

remind our vowers how he was captured. joishgs he walked off base and it was his first tour and he had only been in the country a few months. some raised questions as to whether he will be punished by the military for his action. unlikely he will since he suffered by the taliban. >> any reaction from congress. >> reporter: we are seeing growing anger from the republican leaders who have oversight over the intelligence committees. they say the president did not inform them over the transfer of prisoners. we must examine the means by which we secured his freedom. america maintained a prohibition on negotiating with terrorist

for good yooe reason. trading five prisoners for bergdahl's release may have consequences. they notified members of congress because of the surroundings and needing to move quickly as possible. >> what do we know about the gitmo detainees. >> they were flown to qatar on a u.s. air force. and they will be in qatar custody for a year. both parents thanked the emir for the deal. the scandal engulfing the va, and after days of growing calls for his resignation. the man in the top.

er is. shinseki's resignation is not enough to fix the organization that is bloated. >> his resignation is not going to solve this problem. what will solve this problem is aggressive digging and figuring out what happened and what within wrong and how to unwind it and get out of this mess. that's what we have to be focused on. it is not going to make a material difference. >> one report from the office of the inspector general found systemic problems about the wait times. as many as 1700 veterans were off of the wait list for appointments. officials in the va are reaching out to the men and women individually. molly is live in washington tonight. secretary shinseki is out.

but is that taking pressure off of the president. >> it takes it off regarding secretary shinseki but the va problems are still there. some members of the president's own party are pushing him to keep focused on va reforms. >> the president was losing his prestige and now he has a opportunity to release that because the buck stops with the president. >> reporter: some republicans want to hear from the president on what he will do to change the system. >> this is symbolance. and not substance. it was a walking of the mrafrng so that shinseki walks off. >> reporter: the president needs to put forward an effective plan for addressing

the broad dysfunction in the va. julie. >> what are people saying. >> sloan gibson is a former banker and former head of the uso that helps service members and family. he was a graduate of west point and army officer. veteran groups most critical of shinseki are ready to give gibson a shot. >> i have known him for a while and he and i sat down before he took over as deputy secretary and he's wide open to understand where the problems are. >> reporter: president obama has confidence in sloan gibson and number one priority is to get the problem fixed, julie. >> reporter: golfer phil michelson responding to a probe.

the pga champion is cooperating with investigators while maintaining he did nothing wrong. it centers on carl icon and whether he gave michelson gave him nonpublic investments. here's the arrest of the story, brian. >> reporter: carl icon is worth 23 billion and activist investors and looks to buy a ton of shares to gain influence and change a company's future and vocal about his thoughts on cooperations and stock position and the guy to listen to for financial advice. but you can't give it based on insider and nonpublic information. and that's what the feds are investigating. whether michelson a throw- time master's champion and billy walters made illegal stock trades based onr+åñ insider

information from icon back in 2011. the investigation began three years ago. icon made a 10.2 billion bid to buy clorox company and causing the stock to jump. investigators are looking in well timed high risk trades made by walters and michelson before that bid and suggesting that icon tipped walters who tipped michelson and helping them to cash in. michelson said i am innocent and i have cooperated with the government and will continue to do so. on friday, icon denied the investigation and walters is decleaning to comment. >> in the end of the day it is a long process. these charges can be thrown out and never make it to court with all of this. but again, it is with carl icon,

here's someone who is a smart businessman. did he really need to have inside information in the clorox trade? maybe not. >> reporter: we'll find out. investigators are looking into trades that michelson and walters made in 2012 related to dean food company though they have no connection with icon. >> where do we go now? >> the high profile investigation is just that. and the federal prosecutors in manhattan are handling the probe with the fcc and fbi. this probe is significant. over the last five years. the federal prosecutors office is successful and that is 85 out of 90 cases are convicted. >> and it is eye-opening to think that they could be involved in this it. >> that's right. brian, thank you so much. >> and big names on display in the big easy. future of conservative politics

days and things are wrapping up the official sessions and on the speeches and little bit of partying and the whole thing going on right now. republicans feel good about their chances. and they will hold on to the house and increase their margins there and winning six out of ten competitive races and taking control of the senate. the battle for 2016 is a difficult one and there is a lot of talk in the republican conference to bring more people in the republican tent and build the party by having an affirmative state. and meaning every state in the nation and picking candidates that can win primaries and wen general elections. texas senator or governor rick perry who is one of the speakers and potential candidate for 2016 offered voters an economic

opportunity. he told me, he is more interested in developing policies to bring people in the tent rather than the mechanics of it. >> i think that is what americans want to hear. what are the big ideas? how do i get to work? those millions of americans that have quit looking. they have lost hope. let's give them real hope. >> reporter: perry hasn't made a decision on whether or not to run. probably next year he would announce. he made all of the right moves, julie. he has made three trips to iowa and helping out a lot of gop candidates. >> what about the establishment of the and the tea party. >> reporter: bringing people together and saying that the goal here is to win elections.

and even if that means, not sacrificing conservative principles but picking a moderate conservative. ted cruz was of a different mine. he said the winning way is to stand on conservative principle and articulate for a clear alternative that they can vote for. >> i do think it is it a mistake when you have washington republicans, attacking the conservative republicans. if washington succeeds in a war against the tea party harry reid will be majority leader. no one is more excited about the attacks from republicans on the tea party than harry reid. they need to stop that. joishgs back in 2010, they said that the republican establishment doesn'ts inially have a great track record for

victory. cruz won the presidential straw poll. and jeb bush came in 7th. and chris christie came in dead last. >> thank you, live from new orleans. navy seals picked up sergeant bergdahl and got him out of afghanistan for treatment. his family waited five long years for the delay. new details on a u.s. citizen in syria. if you suffer from a dry mh then you'll know how uncomfortable it can be.

>> i am julie bandaras. this is the fox report. this just in.

a senior defense official telling us that fox news, sergeant bergdahl is en route from afghanistan to the medical center in germany where he will get medical attention after being held captive for the last five years. bergdahl, the only american pow in afghanistan is safely in the hands of the u.s. once on an american helicopter he used a paper plate and word sf? meaning special forces? and one of the men replied yes, we have looked for you for a long time. bergdahl broke down in tears. the taliban agreed to release bergdahl in exchange for five gitmodetainees. it is our hope that sergeant bergdahl's recovery could open the dorfor broader questions

from afghans and possible for all sides to find common ground. we are joaned by chuck nash. first of all, we'll go over the grounds for the exchange. in exchange for bergdahl's release. five detainees were releaseed to qatar. and they are assured they will secure the detainees where they are under a travel ban for a year. is that a risky deal in >> it depends on the relationship between the united states government and the government of quatar. the iraqis told us that they would care for them and violated that. and you have to be careful the deals thaw make when the negotiations are going on. it is not like you are signing

a contract that can be adjudicated after the fact and by virtue of the fact they did this. there is a level of trust in the government and we have to assess what is in it for them. meaning the qataris. >> and everyone is thrilled to know he will be returning home and law makers estatic he is free. but expressing concern about the released taliban. >> they are hardened terrorist who have the blood of americans and countless afghans on their hands. i am eager to learn what steps are taken that the i they never return to fight against the united states. what measures need to be taken to insure that doesn't happen. >> keep them in guantanamo bay. >> it is too late. >> they are out and whether they

return to the the battlefield in one year or one day, or whether the deal falls apart or sooner. sooner or later. they are bad people and part of the original core taliban group and part of the taliban government that ruled afghanistan. and they have intimate contacts with al-qaeda when osama bin laden was running it and living in afghanistan. julie, these guys will wind up working against the u.s. interest and at some point line up as a part of the postu.s. occupation government of afghanistan because the taliban will be part of that settlement. >> the u.s. worked with qatar to insure security measures are in place and the national security of the united states is not compromise. this is a huge game changer. we typically don't do deals with the economy. what changed this time.

sergeant bergdahl. we leave no man behind. he was the last one. and that is it is a political calculation and what is the way to give the guys back to start the guys back. the only acceptable way to get our guy back. >> and we'll talk about the guy on 2012. and it is the original u.s. offer. it is the release of the prisoners as a test of taliban and qa ta ri. and make sure they didn't return to militancy. and 1 or 2 certainly left

threatening and then five. >> more sand falling out of the hourglass. and the taliban knew that in the end it is going to be a high price on sergeant bergdahl. and now there is a high price on every american whether he be contractor or military in afghanistan because the price of poker just went up. >> do you feel that the white house handled it properly. >> i feel it is far too public and for that reason i wish it had been done another way. it is what it is now. and the deal is made and it is it happy for sergeant bergdahl and his family. and the army will deal with this situation in the first place and i don't think it will come of it. and the decisions he made and the moves he made cost him five years of uncomfortable existence already. >> prayers for him and his family and men and women in the

ground and fighting overseas would be in harm's way. and now that the taliban knows that releasing prisoners. and should the u.s. military do going to protect men and women on the ground? >> i think we need to start working hard on what are the objectives of what it is that we are trying to do in the time limit that the president of the united states set that we are going to be there and carefully skrutinnize them. and the question is what is the mission now. and clearly define the mission and rules of engagement and live by them. >> captain chuck nash. great to have your insight. >> and anger and frustration and turning into growing protest.

the cost of providing it. >> the worker making $15 an hour and typical employer coverage cost 15 or $16,000. >> and that will be too compelling for companies to not put their employees in exchanges. >> and employers can bump up worker pay in obama care. >> can you give them more and after tax they end up with the same. and they are doing the math since the law passed. >> and employers also get rid of the headache and uncertainity of providing health insurance. they are service providers and they will stick to that than worry about health insurance. >> they don't want to be in the health insurance and if they have a low cost way to get out many will jump at the chance. they will pay the fine and still
