3:00 am
good morning. it is sunday, the first of june, 2014. we begin with a fox news alert. after five years of being held captive by the taliban, the only american prisoner of the war in afghanistan now free and heading home. but at what cost? we examine the swap for five taliban soldiers. and we have another fox news alert for you. seven people onboard a private jet bound for new jersey killed in a fiery crash. the aircraft bursting into flames shortly after takeoff from a massachusetts airfield where authorities are saying this morning who is on board. and students and staff at rutgers knew condoleezza rice as
3:01 am
a commencement speaker, but guess who they are embracing? jane fonda. "fox and friends" begins right now. good morning at this hour. held prisoner by the taliban in afghanistan, sergeant bergdahl is a free man and will receive care from a team of u.s. doctors. >> peter doocy is live from washington, about this release, did it come at a cost? >> reporter: it did. and now the only remaining captured soldier from the war in iraq and afghanistan is freed. sergeant bergdahl is freed after we released five prisoners of the taliban.
3:02 am
president obama spoke about the transfer in a rare saturday rose garden speech. >> while beau was gone, he was never forgotten. his parents thought about him and prayed for him every single day. as did his sister sky who prayed for his safe return. he was not forgotten by his community in idaho or the military which rallied to support sergeant bergdahl through thick and then. >> reporter: congressional leaders are complaining they didn't get 30 days in advance as the official law requires, but the president does have authority to make the transfer and that they suggest that his health was deteriorating. his parents traveled to the white house this weekend to say thanks. >> thank you to everyone who has supported beau.
3:03 am
he's had a wonderful team everywhere. >> we just can't communicate the words this morning when we heard from the president. >> reporter: the first stop for bergdahl was a base in afghanistan. then it's to germany. from there he's expected to be on one of the first flights to texas where he'll tentatively see doctors at brook medical center in san antonio. >> peter doocy live in washington. thank you. this is -- it is hard not to respond in a positive way seeing an american released. >> sure. >> that's the first response of everyone watching. >> the second response after we take that all in of him coming home and his family reuniting with him is the question of whether or not this is a dangerous precedent being set by the united states government. whether or not we do this, trade individuals for terrorists, essentially. releasing them from prison. we have not done this in the modern era. in fact, ambassador john bolten
3:04 am
was fired up about this last night saying we are setting a dangerous precedent. what message does this send to the world? listen to the ambassador. >> it's a bad deal. i know people are happy bergdahl is being released, that's perfectly understandable, but the president has sent a taliban an unmistakable signal that he'll pay any price to get the united states out. and that's a signal for the taliban and al qaeda to hear and adversaries around the world. and perhaps even worse, it is despicable for a president of the united states to grant moral equivalence to these terrorists at gitmo compared to the american service member. the idea that there's any equivalence at all between an american soldier and a terrorist, i think, is reprehensible. >> the american soldier and the terrorist not just one but five. could we have negotiated in a different way? and why did it have to be five for one either? 30% of those who have been
3:05 am
released from gitmo go right into action, so is this putting the american people in danger? many would argue, yes, it is. so we'll take a look at some of these guys. >> first mohammad nabi omari. he was a taliban communications chief. >> the next guy was directly associated with osama bin laden. >> the third deputy chief of the taliban regime intelligence service. >> these are high-level guys. >> mohammad fazi, chief of staff of the taliban army. not a minor player. >> here's another governor of the taliban regime in one of the balkh province. he played a role in the fight against the northern alliance. this is unbelievable. >> these guys are not the equivalent of the u.s. soldier
3:06 am
at all. i mean, it's not like one of ours are worth five of them. these are bad guys who hate the united states and in some cases committed terrorism and may do so again. they are not in the same league as the american soldier. >> and it raises questions about the loose ends out there. we heard the withdrawal from afghanistan, the obama administration, there are loose ends out there. it looks like the obama administration is trying to tie up the loose ends. lieutenant schaeffer says this is propaganda for the taliban as they return to the field. listen. >> individuals will help undermine the central government that president obama is trying to help. more importantly, i don't trust cutter or these prisoners that have been released. even if they are not back in the field commanding troops, this is a propaganda victory for the taliban. it will strengthen them. >> we asked general keen
3:07 am
yesterday on the network responding to this. he said, it's not a question of if they will return to the field, it's when. >> i think the real problem is not simply what they do for the rest of one what hopes is a short live, but what this does to americans traveling abroad. israel trades prisoners for israeli citizens. you feel for the citizens, but the net effect of that has been really hard for israelis to go places because of the threat of kidnapping. it increases that threat. >> right. because they see the benefit. >> kidnapping works. get somebody in uniform, get a contractor or a civilian who is traveling. >> we can get somebody in prison in return. >> let us know your thoughts on this. we are diving into this with experts on the show. we do have other stories making headline this is sunday. we'll get to that. another fox news alert. overnight, all seven people on board a private plane killed in a fiery crash in massachusetts.
3:08 am
the plane bursting into flames shortly after takeoff from the airfield. you can see the smoke rising from the wreckage here. the flight was headed to atlantic city, new jersey. police have not released names of the people on board. the faa is investigating. victory for the woman sentenced to death for refusing to renounce her christianity. sydney authorities say the 27-year-old woman will be set free. her case sparked international outrage when the judge in sudan sentenced the then pregnant woman to be hung. her husband is christian and sudanese laws forbids interreligious marriages. she gave birth last week. new documents show the spy agency collects millions of images from people in intercepted communications to run through sophisticated facial recognition software. they believe this technology
3:09 am
could revolutionize the way they find intelligence targets. >> that way the nsa has it on file. meanwhile, did you watch this? the san antonio spurs headed to their second straight nba finals. >> the final seconds, that will do it! the spurs are headed to the nba finals. >> the spurs hold off the oklahoma city thunder on their way to a 112-107 overtime victory. the spurs will now take on the two-time defending champions of the miami heat, a repeat of last year's final. those are your headlines. over to rick. >> when was the last time that happened? a rematch of the finals two years in a row? >> well, the lakers and the celtics -- >> you have to go back a long ways. also, basketball in june? >> it is a long season, you're
3:10 am
right. >> hockey, too. but that just started in january. >> and they will be done in another month or so. here we go across the country, the current temps waking up. feeling a bit like summer. by the way, today is the beginning of meteorological summer. i know you don't like my -- >> we'll probably get snow today. >> i know, exactly. meteorological seasons are off this year, we'll put it that way. but we'll do with summer-like thunderstorms down across the southeast. this system will continue to be here the next couple of days to bring us more showers. then the bigger rain is going to be all of this you see here across parts of the northern plains. minnesota getting heavy rain this morning. then the next move of energy will pull out across the central plains today to bring us the threat for severe weather. parts of central nebraska, down through central kansas, the biggest target for tornadoes. but in general this is mostly winds and hail. guys, meteorological summer. >> thank you so much, rick. we have been bringing you the past couple of weeks controversies at a bunch of different schools about commencement speakers.
3:11 am
90% of whom turn out to be liberal, but in many cases conservative speakers have been prevented from speaking on campus being disinvited. >> students are protesting condoleezza rice at rutgers campus, we can't have her come to talk, but jane fonda who made damaging comments back in 1972 act the -- here she is posing back in vietnam where she applauded the anti-vietnam trip to vietnam and the gun to shoot down american planes. >> i have interviewed a bunch of the pows who were there at this time, not only did she compliment the gun ners on thei accuracy, but she attacked american pows stuck in tiger cages and being tortured as
3:12 am
criminals. i talked to a bunch of them sitting through in their cages on the bring of death having to listen to jane fonda call them names and telling them they deserved to be in prison. >> ucla has the right to do this as freedom of speech, but is it the appropriate thing to do? should there be protest by the vietnam veterans n particular? >> also, commencement speakers, shouldn't they be impressive? not to be mean, i have nothing against jane fonda personally, but she's an actress married to a rich guy. where is her achievement? >> rutgers had snooki and couldn't bring in condoleezza rice. >> it is frivolous. they are not that impressive. >> that's right. after four year of college at ucla, that's what you get? >> it's just bizarre or what you would expect from all the liberal higher education institutions, that they are having people like jane fonda be
3:13 am
the commencement speaker. what was really bizarre this week, we heard from michael bloomberg, who obviously has some quite liberal beliefs in other areas, but he said, it's not right that these liberal institutions are very often trying to silence conservative viewpoints welcoming the controversy. >> it is too far for michael bloomberg, then it's pretty far. >> let us know your thoughts by going to our facebook page to weigh in. coming up, five years after being taken by the taliban, the only american prisoner of the war in afghanistan is free this morning. the next performer cia officer says don't let the good news fool you. and it happened again. a bounce house blown away completely and guess what? children were inside. how did it happen? we'll tell you.

3:17 am
welcome back. a fox news alert. for five years the only american prisoner of war in afghanistan is now free and headed home. >> this morning, i called bob and jannie bergdahl and said after nearly five years in captivity, their son beau is coming home. as part of the efforts, the united states is transferring five prisoners from guantanamo to qatar. >> so how does a negotiation like this happen? joining me is the former head of the bin laden unit, michael, good to see you this morning. >> thank you, sir. >> who are these guys? i didn't think we negotiated with terrorists? >> as far as i can recall in my mind sitting here, this is the first time we have actually done this in my memory, anyway, to
3:18 am
hand over very important people for one of our prisoners. when you look down the road, people are going to say, we can trade a tricycle for a mercedes, we might as well get into this business. >> is politics at play here? >> this president is the most scheming and forethought laden person when it comes to political credit. in the same week, you have his memorial day speech, his run-in to afghanistan, the firing of shinseki, and now bergdahl coming home. it's just -- i'm the guy that ended the war, aren't things great? and the american people aren't going to peek under the blanket to see the disaster obama has arranged in afghanistan. >> is this setting a dangerous precedence for the future of, well, we talked about this earlier on the show, the idea that now we can go kidnap anyone, because we can use this
3:19 am
as a trade, we can use them like pawns on a chess board. >> the richness of what the kidnappers received in return is very -- it's startling. but i think more than that, the muslim world and certainly the islamists who have been fighting us believe they defeated us in afghanistan and iraq and objectively they did. and now we come to them as s suplicants. but now we trade these enormously important people back to the taliban. i want to remind the american people that the government is utterly untrustworthy. in 1995 we had a chance to captu capture khalid mohommad. >> it's not a matter of when they will return to the field, it's not a matter of if, but
3:20 am
they will absolutely return to the field to fight against our soldiers. the former head of the bin laden unit, what do you know about these guys? should we be worried? >> sure. i think two guys i would worry most about is the fellow who you mentioned who was the intelligence director. he'll be very important. and the fact that they asked for the governor, the former taliban governor of a providence way up north in afghanistan, it shows they are planning a civil war against the northern alliance, which will include fighting in the north. they are very realistic people. so i think what the taliban got was five players who will assist them to destroy whatever is going to be the government after we depart. and before long, we're going to have an afghanistan in two or three years much worse than it ever was in 2001. >> troubling words. michael scheuer, former head of the bin laden unit. thank you for getting up early with us. >> my pleasure.

the oscar winner movie here "the dallas buyers club." watch. >> it doesn't look that way. >> terminally ill patients begging for life-saving care they can't get because the medicine hasn't been approved by the fda. this week colorado became the first state to change that giving patients the access to unapproved drugs.
3:25 am
but why is the treatment so hard to get and why is the federal government against it? lucy called caldwell is joining us to tell us what's going on. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. >> the idea is people who have been judged terminal by doctors aught to have access to drugs that haven't been approved because, why not? >> absolutely. the old system is completely broken, and the right to try act just passed in colorado and signed in louisiana yesterday. it's going to change that. it's going to cut the red tape in the decade-plus billion dollar process it takes to get a drug to market while terminally ill patients die not getting access. >> so how could anybody possibly be against that? this is for patients who are gravely ill and don't have other options. >> absolutely. these are patients that have exhausted all the conventional treatment option and are under the care of a doctor. in general, the risk analysis is a lot different. we don't necessarily know whether or not this drug is going to be a miracle cure. we can't guarantee that, but there's something we can guarantee if they don't get
3:26 am
access, and that's death. >> that's right. this is something the patient freely chooses. these patients want to take the risks associated with it. >> absolutely. right now only about 3% of the sickest patients can get into a clinical trial. so the vast majority of them are hearing about drugs that could be lifesavers or extend their lives. and they simply cannot get access. so under the right to try act with their doctor, they will be able to transact directly with a medical company and get access to the help they need. >> but the fda doesn't want this because it may harm the patients who are going to die. this is like allowing death row inmates to smoke because it could be bad for their health. this is crazy. this is the class of bureaucrats protecting their turf. >> sure. the fda is the most popular federal agency in the country. and they are very worried about people fearing they are taking a drug unsafe, but we are not talking about someone having an elected procedure here. we are talking about people for whom death is otherwise certain. i think this will go forward in
3:27 am
colorado and louisiana like it was passed yesterday and give patients the access they need. some are already making plans to, so it would be a crying shame if the fda decides not to let this law stand. th this, if they tamper with this, it would be devastated for the patients. he's got a new press secretary, so today is a new day. >> you are ever hopeful. so this also seems to be the process of it being researched. >> the problem is it takes so long to get information. i was with a family last week and their son at the age of 10 was diagnosed with a rare carcinoma, and they said there's a drug but it is not here in the u.s. they went on a world tour, basically picked up their life, moved to europe, he got treatment there.
3:28 am
that drug has been available in europe since 2009. even today, five years later, still not approved here. he's alive today because his parents had the resources, but there are thousands of stories who couldn't drop everything and move to a foreign country. >> that's appalling to see the fda stop his progress in his tracks. lucy caldwell, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, tucker. hiding jesus and mary behind a curtain? they say the government made them do it. a case of misplaced priorities. we'll have the details. and it's happened yet again. a bounce house blown completely away. by the way, there are kids inside. how did that happen? we'll tell you.

3:37 am
across the gulf and the south part of mexico. some of that moisture is possibly getting pulled into the central gulf to bring in some moisture by next weekend in and across areas of the southeast. so we'll potentially watch that. nothing that we're concerned about at this point, but do keep in mind the beginning of hurricane season. let's take a look at the northeast. here's what the day is going to look like. no real precipitation certainly to start out the day. maybe a few showers in the afternoon across parts of west virginia, down to the ohio river valley, but temps a little warmer. down to the southeast, we'll see the afternoon showers. the day heats up with plenty of humidity there. we'll see showers firing all afternoon again. in toward the northern plains, this is where we'll see severe weather later today. some of the storms possibly could be tornadic across parts of nebraska and kansas. and finally, out across areas of the west, we'll see more showers in toward the northern rockies, but the desert southwest and the four corners remain clear and dry. back to you inside. >> thank you, rick. veteran ace cross the country facing deadly delays

3:47 am
and that's not good for the economy when so many people are sitting at home and not working. >> we'll look at the labor participation or the non-participation rate. i didn't know we had a non-participation rate, but look at this compared to 2008. 11.5% of non-participation among american men. why men? >> it happens in all groups, but the startling figure is men age 24 to 54 at the prime working age of their lives. 33% more of them are not working now compared to six years ago. >> why? >> it's a lot of bad government policies that have made it very difficult for people to get hired. minimum wage, for example. increasing regulation. a lot of these anti-business policies make it really difficult for businesses to hire people. so people want to hire, people want to get jobs, but people can't because of all the bad government policies. >> so we hear all the time about

companies hiring. we hear about cheryl here on the show getting veterans employed with hundreds of jobs here and there. where is the disconnect? >> there are increases in employment, which is good. but if you look at the people who still haven't gotten jobs, six years later after the recession started, it's still dramatic with a huge amount of people sitting at home. that's not good for the economy. it creates a culture of dependency for people who want to get jobs who just can't. it eliminates their opportunity and the american dream. >> you explained to me that the number is 6.3% the obama administration is holding it up, this is the recovery in full swing. we should be applauding this number. you don't think we should? >> it's only one part of the factor. so when people are out of the labor force, they don't get counted in the unemployment statistics. so it's only half the equation. so the nonparticipation rate in the labor force is still at record levels. and that's a real problem.

eight minutes before the top of the hour. do you like to start your day with something healthy like yogurt? think again, some yogurts have more sugar than twinkies. joining us is dr. nancy. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> when we think of healthy breakfast, we think of yogurt with granola, but there are deceptive sugars in there. >> there are only a few yogurts that are better for you. so the first thing to think about is the american heart association recommendation, they say that people should only have a certain amount of sugar per day, added sugar. for women, that is about 24 grams of sugar. for men it's 36. if you think about it that way, for example, there's these plain fat-free yogurts.
3:54 am
these are 17 grams, but if you think about a 26-gram maximum. >> all day? yeah. not to mention very often we eat more than one serving. >> exactly. this one is not too bad either, it's about 11. but if you look at the other ones, these actually, people do the fruit in the bottom ones because they think they are healthier, but it will put you at your daily limit if you're a woman. >> and this is tiny. >> exactly. >> the fruit on the bottom is not a good option. what about greek yogurt? the stocks have been skyrocketing in that because of the high protein content. it will keep you fuller longer, how is the sugar content? >> it's the best of all of these, it's 9. there's a little bit more fat in this one, so what they are doing is concentrating this. getting rid of the watery weigh in yogurt and the lactose, the sugar normally found in yogurt. so it's a little healthier but has more fat. >> i know this brand does do a fat-free one as well.
3:55 am
but when you take out the fat, very often you add sugar. >> that's what happens with these fat-free ones. they actually have more sugar than the plain ones. so this one with reese's pieces in it is low fat, so it has more sugar. >> eat this first, life is uncertain. doctor nevi, thank you for your time. greek yogurt is the way to go. >> basically, yes. >> thank you so much. well, he's a journalist who broke the nsa spying scandal, but he say that is bombshell was just the beginning. what glenn greenwall plans to reveal next when he joins us live. and take a look at this kid. he's asleep behind the wheel and it's going viral. ah. ♪

good morning, everyone. it is june 1, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. we begin with a fox news alert. after being held for five years, the only american prisoner of the war in afghanistan is now free. but was the cost too high? we examine the exchange for five taliban soldiers. and another fox news alert overnight. seven people parished in a fiery plane crash. what went wrong? we have details.
4:00 am
and a new huggies ad under fire for featuring toddlers dressed up as rockers in blue jean diapers. forever in blue jeans. is it too much or too cute? you decide. "fox and friends" hour two starts right now. welcome in to "fox and friends" at this hour. after five years in captivity, sergeant bowe bergdahl, the only american prisoner of the afghan war, is free and en route to germany where he'll receive care from a team of u.s. doctors. >> peter doocy is live for us in washington. bergdahl's release did come as an exchange, correct? >> reporter: yes. five guantanamo detainees were exchanged for the last american
4:01 am
captive of the wars in iraq and afghanistan. the five detainees left cuba already on a c-17 headed for qatar. the country that mediated this between the u.s. and the taliban and the country to take custody of the five and be responsible for their movement. president obama spoke about all this last night in a rare saturday speech from the rose garden. >> while bowe was gone, he was never forgotten. his parents thought about him and prayed for him every single day. as did his sister sky, who prayed for his safe return. he wasn't forgotten by his community in idaho or the military, which rallied to support the bergdahls through thick and thin. >> reporter: bergdahl has lost some weight but he's in otherwise good condition. although the pentagon said his health was deteriorating and
4:02 am
that's why congress didn't get a 30-day heads-up for the transfer as the law requires. president obama used executive powers instead to authorize the swap. he also called bergdahl's parents to tell them their son was safe and they later stood at his side at the white house. >> thank you to everyone who has supported bowe. he's had a wonderful team everywhere. >> we just can't communicate the words this morning when we heard from the president. >> reporter: the taliban handed bergdahl over to a navy s.e.a.l. team in afghanistan and he's set to travel from the air base to germany and eventually to brook army medical center in san antonio, texas. back to you in new york. >> thank you, peter. appreciate it. you have to celebrate when any american anywhere, no matter who it is, under any circumstances, is released by the taliban. on the other hand, this raises a lot of questions. and the first one to my mind is why break the law in order to do this? he was sick, of course, he spent
4:03 am
five years in taliban custody. does that mean you can't tell congress as required by the defense operation act? no, you can't. >> just speaking about bowe's life there, he was 29 years old. one-sixth of his life was spent in captivity with the taliban. can you imagine? can you wrap your head around spending one-sixth of your life under taliban control? >> no. and he was apparently starting to learn the native language there and having a hard time speaking english. some mentioned his daughter during the press conference there in the rose garden, but the other thing is why five for one? you know? to have an equivalency at all between these terrorist who is are trying to kill americans. and one of our heroes. come on, what message does this send to our adversaries? come get our service members and get somebody in uniform, get a civilian who is traveling, just trade them out? >> we asked michael scheuer, he
4:04 am
was a former bin laden commander for the cia. we asked why to trade these guys, here's what he said. listen. >> this is the first time we have actually done this in my memory, anyway, to hand over very important people for one of our prisoners. what the taliban got was five player who is will assist them to destroy whatever is going to be the government after we depart. and before long, we're going to have an afghanistan in two or three years that is much worse than it ever was in 2001. >> one of the things, is cheuer talked about is one of the guys released was the governor in one of the providences in afghanistan that wanted to bring war against the northern alliance. he said, mark your calendars. because as these guys get back to afghanistan, they are going to undo what we did in afghanistan. >> these guys are going home to
4:05 am
a parade just like bowe bergdahl is going to get. these guys are famous for killing americans. >> probably a civil war in the u.s., i agree with that, but what effect does this have on those americans traveling abroad? there are hundreds of americans in other countries. does this make life more dangerous for them? you snatch one of them and get something more important in return? that's why we have not done this before. because that's the effect of it. >> by the way, we just got breaking news. that bowe bergdahl arrived in germany and is being treated at a hospital. he'll be evaluated to see how well he's doing. meanwhile, ambassador john bolten talked about the dangerous precedent we have set now in the world. listen. >> it's a bad deal. i know people are happy that bergdahl is being released, that's perfectly understandable,
4:06 am
but the president has sent the taliban an unmistakable signal that he'll pay any price to get the united states out. and that's a signal bad for the taliban and adversaries around the world. perhaps even worse, it is despicable for a president of the united states to grant moral equivalence to these terrorists at gitmo compared to the american service member. the idea that there's any equivalence at all between an american soldier and a terrorist, i think, is reprehensible. >> it's a great point. meanwhile, out of washington, we have been following this story of the resignation of general eric shinseki, the president calls him rick, the head of the v.a., and for many the story will end there. and i think the concern is when people have been following this, that attention will be drawn away from the v.a. and the problems there, the corruption there and the inefficiency there is because someone has been held responsible. let's move on to the next story. but has that really solved the problem?
4:07 am
the resignation of one man? >> no. and it looks like it may be much worse and looks like even the inspector general's report might have been a whitewash. katherine mitchell was at the phoenix v.a. and said it is much worse than has been portrayed. listen. >> the interim report was extremely deceptive. when it talked about the waiting times on the list, because i know what the near list was, i helped hide it. i sensed my v.a. career was over. it's not unusual for the v.a. to make up things and sabotage a career for those who bring it forward. it's not just at the phoenix v.a. but those across the country. >> dr. katherine mitchell, you heard her say this is an extreme charge she's making here, saying that the inspector general, the interim report, is slated in favor of the v.a. i mean, that's -- if that's true, that is terrible. and the other thing she mentioned in this preliminary report and this interim initial
4:08 am
report, they are hiding delays for the mental health appointments. we think about 22 of our veterans committing suicide each day. these mental health checks need to be done. >> they were sabotaging the careers of the doctors coming forward. never the mind there's a huge shortage of doctors there anyway. >> why is there a doctor shortage? doctors don't want to work there, but it is striking to see this on the left. the left historically was on the side of whistleblowers. they offer whistleblower protection laws passed in the united states. people have to feel free to tell the truth about their work environment. otherwise corruption remains uncovered. it remains hidden. and yet again and again you're seeing this in the administration, whistleblowers are punished for telling the truth. it's bizarre and scary. >> let us know what you think. >> if all these claims are true,
4:09 am
she's a hero. >> right. she said she knew her career was over as a result. let us know your thoughts. meanwhile, we have headlines for you. >> another fox news alert. all seven people on board a plane killed in a fiery crash in massachusetts. the plane bursting into flames shortly after takeoff from the airfield. you can see the smoke rising from the wreckage. the flight was headed to atlantic city, new jersey. the police have not released the names of the board. the faa is investigating. six climbers missing on montana rainier are now presumed dead. overnight helicopters detected pings buried thousands of feet below their last known location. rescue crews spotted climbing crew littered over a debris field, but no sign of the climbers. every done absolutely nothing wrong. golfer phil mickelson speaking

[ cheers and applause ] >> nicholas shaw was picked to give a speech about military families. little did he know, army staff sergeant james shaw was waiting in the wings to surprise him. shaw has been away for the past six months in kuwait. those are your headlines. >> we'll get outside to rick reichmuth. >> what is that voice you're doing? >> i don't know.

welcome back. a fox news alert. five suspected terrorists released from guantanamo bay in exchange for bowe bergdahl held captive since 2009 by the taliban. so what does this mean about the future of the five detainees sent to qatar? ryan, thank you for being here. so who are these guys? >> these are senior taliban commander that is the taliban wanted back badly because they are experienced in killing afghans and american soldiers. and they were raided as being high-risk detainees by the u.s. government. and more importantly, they were
4:17 am
directly collaborating with al qaeda. so they may not have been al qaeda members themselves, but they were just -- the difference is paper thin. you're essentially negotiating with al qaeda individuals. it's an amazingly bad message to send. >> and there are extreme belief systems that make it okay to think they will die for this cause, so are they still strapped to this cause and in danger of killing more americans as soon as they get back? >> if you look at what is on file, they said this is going to happen. if they get released, they will link back up with the taliban and al qaeda. just like you said, they believe it is their religious commandment to kill american soldiers. the second they stop doing that, they are violating the will of god. >> the question this morning of whether or not this sets a dangerous precedent. we are negotiating with the taliban? that's the tactic going forward, it is okay to kidnap americans and then -- we'll just go and look through the prison rolodex to see what we have here.
4:18 am
here's exchange, we'll give you ten guys for one. >> there's really two messages being sent. the first is that kidnapping americans works. you want your terrorists to be released from the united states? kidnap americans. that's the message very hard to reverse. the second message is, no matter what the u.s. says, we negotiate with terrorists. because the soldier was being held by the network officially labeled as the terrorist group. so is the pakistani branch of the taliban. so we can't make a reasonable argument that we are not negotiating with terrorists now. >> isn't it confusing, if we know about their whereabouts to communicate with them, why wasn't he rescued? >> because we didn't know the exact location, but we knew who to talk to that would get in touch with the captors. so there's a line of communication particularly going through the nation, which is a supposed u.s. allie that backs the muslim brotherhood. >> wait, what do you mean a supposed u.s. allie? >> they are officially a u.s. allie. >> they have done an awful lot
4:19 am
for us over the past 13 years, or no? >> they have helped with a long branch of radicalism, but at the other hand, they support the muslim brotherhood and are getting more radical by the day. al gentlem >> we want to tie up loose ends, is there another way to get him back if there was not a rescue? >> force is really the only answer because you are negotiating with terrorists and are saying our policy and words are completely invalid. but more importantly now, we have to limit the damage because between this and the timetable for withdrawal, the taliban now has momentum and are going to be able to create a narrative that says time is on their side. so we have to counter that now by pointing to the progress being made on the ground by u.s. and afghan soldiers, which is progress virtually no one hears about. >> really quick, why did this happen? this never happened before, why now with this man? >> desperation to get out of
4:20 am
afghanistan. look, if he was the last american soldier in afghanistan, it would be very difficult to turn down this deal, but there are over 30,000 american soldiers that remain in afghanistan in addition to the american soldiers serving around the world. and the message we have just sent was, kidnap them. that's the message just sent to terrorists. >> are people overreacting? we talked earlier about putting rfid chips in. the idea that maybe they lead us back to other areas. so are we tracking them or can we rest assure we are following them maybe back to a deadly viper, so to speak? >> if we are thinking about it, then the taliban has also thought about it. clearly the u.s. in winding down the war in afghanistan scaling back the list of targets for drone strikes, so i don't think that the u.s. is willing to take that step. and i wouldn't rule out the possibility of future prison swaps. >> thank you for joining us this morning. appreciate it. coming up, her case sparked international outrage. the pregnant woman sentenced to die for refusing to give up her christian beliefs.

case has risen to the attention of our state department. and things are getting done. we are talking about it. it is interesting, how did it get to the attention of our federal government? really through social media. >> through twitter. >> through twitter. through facebook. and people are talking about it. and saying, hey, you guys work for us. against the federal government. you work for us. this is important to us as americans to actually make her case important. and so i'm so grateful of that. and in our day and age, we can tell our government what to do in these cases. >> what message so you think the americans were trying to send to the state department with the hash tag, save miriam? >> we are getting hundreds of millions of dollars a year to give to sudan. there's got to be something attached to it, and that is

but the jury couldn't receive a decision on sentencing. under arizona law, the sentencing new trial with a new jury will have the death penalty once again an option. game, set and match. tennis star is a rserena willia in a bikini showing up at the wedding. clayton? while, the epa is getting into hot water with small businesses. as a new rule aims to expand the clean water act, which could mean costly and time consuming regulations. our next guest testified on capitol hill on behalf of cattle ranchers everywhere saying the new rule has the power to impact every land owner in the country. jack field is executive vice president of the washington cattleman association. jack, nice to see you this morning. >> thank you very much, good morning. >> explain to us what this epa rule would mean for small businesses and you specifically as a rancher? >> well, thank you very much.
4:45 am
the concern that i have as well as the washington cattleman's association and the national cattleman's beef association is that the epa's attempt to redefine waters of the united states will broadly expand the jurisdiction reach and the authority that the environmental protection agency has in forcing the clean water act. traditionally it's been enforced on what would have been called navigable waters. the attempts are to expand the definition under case by case basis that would allow the epa to make a determination that a water body may be a -- may have a significant nexus. if you have a creek or body of water on your property, it may fall under the jurisdiction. if you are implementing some kind of activity within the floodplain or water body that is outside the exact scope of what
4:46 am
epa would propose as an exemption, ubt be subject to obtain a 404 permit, which is something small businesses like myself, cattle ranchers across the country and landowners throughout the united states have never had to do since the inception of the clean water act. >> so every day, give us a day in the life of jack field. get up, get your cattle grazed in these areas, the low areas down by the streambed, how will this impact your day-to-day business and daily routine? >> you hit the nail on the head. we raise livestock in the floodplain areas that are naturally irrigated. if grazing wasn't implemented as prescribed by the nrc, the national resource conservation service, they are a volunteer organization that came to development back in the days of the dust age. and if graving is implemented, not per their standard, meaning if i don't have an official nrc
4:47 am
grazing plan, i fear i could be outside of the exemption, therefore opening up my option to litigation. section 505 of the clean water act allows the provision, that if the exemptions are not very clearly explained as i believe right now under the current clean water act, the exemption that broadly exempts agriculture, farming, ranching and normal horticultural activities, i believe that's the way we should stay. >> here's what the epa has to say about it. they say the increase clarity will save us time, keep money in our pockets, cut red tape and give certainty to business and help fulfill the clean water act's original promise which was to make america's waters fishable and swimmable for all. so a little stream on your property, random people could come on your property and start fishing in the little stream. meanwhile, you have been using it for years and now you're going to have problems, right? >> well, there are a variety of issues and problems associated with the comment from the epa
4:48 am
that you just stated. if the intent is to bring clary to the clean water act, we all want to have clean water. i drink the same water you do, we want it to be clean. but at the end of the day, we'll be most effective in solving water quality issues as with local based decisions. the role that epa proposed is extremely vague. they are not clearly defying terms. as a result, landowners like myself and many small businesses across the country are wondering what is next. >> good question. jack field, cattle rancher up in washington. good luck to you. thank you for temperatures and brings this to our attention. we appreciate it. >> i appreciate having the opportunity and would urge your viewers if possible to go to our website for more information. >> okay, will do. thank you, jack. coming up on the show, gwyneth paltrow says celebrities have it just as tough as troops in war. and the police chief that told kanye west to check himself
4:49 am
4:52 am
4:53 am
last year rapper kanye west took heat for saying his performances were as dangerous as a soldier in combat. next up is our police chief with harsh words for mr. west. now his wife has harsh words for miss paltrow. i agree with your dislike of internet trolls, they are narcissistic cowards, but dealing with these comments are nowhere near like being at war. i'm fairly concern you don't suffer from ptsd or have sleepless nights for fear of the impending nightmares because of them. thank you for being with us, guys. great to have you. >> good morning. thank you for having us. >> lisa, i'll start with you. i agree with you and with gwyneth about how terrible these internet trolls are being in the public life. we get nasty comments as well, but we have the ability to just ignore them, right? soldiers can't ignore bullets flying past their ears. >> absolutely. and the compareson is just
4:54 am
ridiculous. it really is. there is no compareson. i spent 20 years as a police officer and never did i compare my job to those at war. she seems to be very out of touch. this is not the first time i have commented on her commentary. as average americans, we have, you know, we watch these celebrities and we support these celebrities. really, they should take more care in what they say to the general public. >> well, both of you feel like you need to put the celebrities in their place. chief oliver, you mentioned having harsh words for mr. west. what was it that you had to say when he compared his time on stage to being a soldier at war? >> well, i just told him to check himself before he wrecks himself. both of these, i think, i don't see the comparison at all between military. i don't see an internet troll being dehumanizing.
4:55 am
and i was on our way here and on the interstate there or various highways dedicated to soldiers and military people, and i just thought, maybe gwyneth needs a highway dedicated to her as being a victim of an internet troll. maybe i'll start pushing for that. >> well, to defend gwyneth paltrow, she's as beautiful as she is, and she's up on this pedestal, everyone wants to knock her down. so do you think, is there a chance of just this being a figure of speech? and if it was a figure of speech, is this something off limits, lisa? >> i do think she was probably using this as a figure of speech. however, i don't think her words were very good to use. i think that she needs to consider, had she stopped at dehumanizing, i may have had a little more compassion for her, but when she compares herself to someone at war, and no matter how she meant those words, i think that was very hurtful to the people who have been at war and have had to go through the things they have had to go through. it's a very difficult thing that
4:56 am
they have had to do, and i just don't see that you can make any comparison. she's not the first. and i would certainly hope at some point these celebrities would take stock of the words they are using and maybe use more compassion and think about what they have to say before they say it. >> we'll, continue your talk and maybe they will. thank you both for your time today. >> thank you so much. >> have a nice sunday. 56 minutes after the hour. next on "fox and friends weekend." our top story, five years after being taken by the taliban, the only american prisoner of the war in afghanistan is free this morning. we have brand new information and a live report from washington at the top of the hour. and is it still a man's job to pay for the date? stick around, we have a panel to weigh in.

hey, everyone. it is sunday, june 1st. i'm anna kooiman. after being held captive for five years by the taliban, the only american prisoner of the war in afghanistan is now free. but was the cost too high? we examine the swap for five taliban soldiers. and overnight, seven people killed in a fiery plane crash. a press conference happening at this hour. we have brand new information in just moments. stay tuned for that. have you seen this one? everyone is talking about it this morning. a bear caught relaxing in a backyard hammock. we'll hear from the guy who took the picture. he said he just wanted to roll back over and go to sleep. leave me alone, i'm in my
5:01 am
hammock. "fox and friends" hour three starts right now. well, at this hour, sergeant bowe bergdahl is being treated by german doctors. he was just released from taliban control after five years in captivity. peter doocy is live in washington. peter, what did it cost to bring bergdahl back to the u.s.? >> reporter: to get army sergeant bowe bergdahl back to the u.s., the u.s. had to free five prison detainees at guantanamo bay. the country that mediated the talks between the united states is now going to restrict their movement. talks about this trade apparently sped up when our intel suggested that bergdahl's health was deteriorating. he was handed over to a navy
5:02 am
s.e.a.l. team without incident. >> as you know, no shots were fired, there was no violence. it went as well as we narrowly had expected and planned, but i think he's as well as he could be. >> reporter: bergdahl's health is the reason president obama used executive authority to sign off on the swap and congress didn't get the 30-day notice the law requires for a swap like this. president obama stood in-between bergdahl's parents in the rose garden to deliver a rare saturday speech about the recovery of the last american service member who was unaccounted for during the wars in afghanistan. >> while bowe was gone, he was never forgeten. his parents thought about him and prayed for him every single day, as did his sister sky, who prayed for his safe return. he wasn't forgotten by his
5:03 am
community in idaho nor the military. which rallied to support bergdahl through thick and thin. >> reporter: bergdahl is in germany and his next stop is brook army medical center in san antonio, texas. >> so many questions this morning. >> thank you, peter. there are so many questions starting with how exactly bergdahl was captured in the first place? and why did he leave the base five years ago? that investigation is ongoing. >> did he wander off? >> there's talk even, clayton, he could suffer some sort of consequences for leaving the base there in afghanistan. >> what sort of precedent does this set, though? this transaction. you think about this guy five year years in captivity and being trapped by the taliban in those conditions. seems malnourished.
5:04 am
earlier on the show we had ryan and he's concerned about the message this sends to the rest of the world. it's okay to capture americans because we'll make it okay. >> he was the last soldier in afghanistan and it would be very difficult to turn down this deal, but there are over 30,000 american soldiers that remain in afghanistan in addition to the american soldiers serving around the world. so the message we just sent was to kidnap them. that's the message we just sent to terrorists. the second message is no matter what the u.s. says, we negotiate with terrorists because the soldier was held by the network officially labeled as a terrorist group. so is the pakistani art of the taliban. >> we always said we do not negotiate with terrors, but in this case, we did it publicly. there are many deals that are being madewe just don't know ab. but to give away five prisoners
5:05 am
from guantanamo bay is a big step. >> what does that say to al qaeda? and what does that say to all our adversaries around the world? come and get them. >> they are emboldened by it and held up with high regard. these are the guys in quantity an moe bay. but just take a look at the rap wrap here. mohammad nabi omari was the taliban communications chief. >> and khairullah khairkhwa, he was governor of the herat province. >> and abdul haq wasiq, deputy chief of the taliban's
5:06 am
intelligence service. >> and mohammad fazl, chief of staff of the taliban army. >> and mullah it isnorullah noos the governor of balkh province in the taliban regime. i think this puts americans abroad at risk. and there are a lot of americans doing business around the world. and they should be more worried this morning than they were yesterday morning. >> the former head of the osama bin laden unit, michael scheuer had this to say. >> we'll have more with michael scheuer in a moment. he thinks it is for political reasons we did this and wrapping it up in a neat bow, the war in afghanistan. we want to make sure all the loose ends are tied up here. at what cost? costs negotiating with
5:07 am
terrorists. >> i can't get over the point that anna made earlier. there's a moral equivalence all of a sudden drawn between an american soldier and five foreign terrorists. >> not even one for one, five for one. >> taliban operatives are somehow on the same plain. that's the same melszage that it sends. >> and all five of them, who is saying they won't start to try to kill americans when they get back? they are not scared to die for their cause, so are they going to continue their efforts? that's what we have seen in the past. >> here's the former head of the bin laden unit, michael scheuer. here's what we can expect. listen. >> as far as i can recall in my mind sitting here, this is the first time we have actually done this in my memory, anyway, to hand over very important people for one of our prisoners what the tall bon got was five players to assist them whatever is going to be the government
5:08 am
after bedepart. and before long, we'll have have an afghanistan in two or three years that is much worse than it was in 2001. >> so it's great that bergdahl is getting a parade when he gets home, but the former taliban members are going to be getting praise when they come home, too. they are going to be hailed as heroes. >> i hope we are tracking them to a den of vipers. led them back there, we'll find other guys in the meantime. >> let us know your thoughts on th this. we have other headlines this sunday. we'll get to our other fox news alert in massachusetts. a press conference is happening on the deadly plane crash. new video released showed the wreckage of the private plane bursting into rain iflames.
5:09 am
all seven people on board were killed. police have not released the names of the passengers and crew. the faa is investigating. and victory for a woman sentenced to death for refusing to denounce her christianity. 27-year-old miriam ibrahim will be set free. her case sparked international outrage when the judge in sudan sentenced the then pregnant woman to hang. her husband is christian and sudanese law prevents interreligious marriages. jonathan morris weighed in on this about the public outcry about whether there will be any change in sudan. >> they can't do things as publicly as they are doing things now. they shouldn't be able to get away with it. of course, i'm not going to change government policy overnight, but if they say if you don't denounce your faith then we are going to kill you, something is wrong. >> ibrahim gave birth to a
5:10 am
daughter last week in jail. a news agency says spies run through social face recognition software. they believe this would help them find intelligence tolerants. >> either we are going to lead the world or bury our heads in the sand. >> well, now report that is clooney could be entering the politics world for real. he could be looking to take on an official role within the democratic party. rumors have it that this human rights lawyer was trying to make this decision.
5:11 am
it is cold out there, i don't care what anybody says. >> i was really tan due to makeup. no, it's not cold out here. we have a big group out here, it's one, but we are glad you are here. >> thank you. i'm so excited to be here. from stowe, ho. we'll look at the weather maps this morning. it's the beginning of hurricane season in the month of june. if we see any activity, this is usually where it forms across the western caribbean. and there is pretty disturbed weathers across the pacific side and mexico that will develop into something. but some of that could make its way into the gulf. over the next couple of days, we could see some moisture coming in towards florida by the time we get to the next weekend. we'll keep watching that, but nothing to be concerned about. certain
5:12 am
certainly the northeast is going to see a spectacular day. sunshine, a bit of humidity. down to the southeast, it is humid. and as the day heats up, we'll see more thunderstorms firing up. bigger storms across parts of the northern plains. some will turn to 80 degrees today. pretty warm. >> 57 degrees in june is cold, okay? i'm speaking for all the ladies. >> you guys are cold when it is 80, so i don't want to hear it. thank you, rick. our top story, five years after being taken by the taliban, the only american prisoner of war in afghanistan is free, but at what cost? the host of "fox sunday" is

to stream and share more. this is xlte. for best results, use verizon. now bring in the whole family and get four lines for $160. welcome back. more on the fox news alert now. american pow sergeant bowe bergdahl released after being held in afghanistan since 2009 has just arrived in germany at a hospital. >> his release was in exchange for five suspected terrorists from guantanamo bay. so the move has drawn criticism from some in congress that say it could lead to consequences for americans abroad and the rest of the troops. >> joining us is the host of "fox news sunday." chris wallace, good morning. >> good morning, guys.
5:17 am
>> this is something america typically doesn't do, why now? >> well, i suspect part of the reason is because of the fact that the president announced he's going to start pulling out of afghanistan and they have always been kind of -- the theme and the commitment of the u.s. that we don't leave is here. on the other hand, as you point out, we have had prisoner swaps a lot of times when officials cannot point to another kind, this raises the question, is this terrorism? and number two, does it give groups like the taliban and other groups to take americans and be able to trade them for some of their people who may be held in u.s. prison. >> so in the administration,
5:18 am
they said they needed to rescue bergdahl because he was sick. is anyone in congress complaining about that? >> oh, sure. they are saying we should have been given advanced notice. the pushback from administration is they have reason to believe bergdahl's condition was deteriorating and they needed to get him out of there quickly without the 30-day full notice in order to save his life. it will be to see what his medical condition is and how dire his condition sfwhuz. >> shinseki is out and jay carney leaving a deployment at the white house. what do you make of this? >> i think jay carney leaving is less than meets the eye. he's been the press secretary for the president and vice president for five-and-a-half
5:19 am
years. it's a turnout job and wanted to make more money, but the shinseki story is more interesting. what will be interesting is this, shinseki's leaving is not going to do a single thing to help a single veteran waiting months to get health care. and the question is going to, whether we forget about the v.a. scandal and forget about the veterans, but that the secretary is gone. the problem is that veterans are still getting health care and shouldn't forget about it. >> and how much time do you give the new guy? okay, you have to clean house here and you have a new culture involved in the veterans affairs right now, but are the veterans
5:20 am
beginning to get better care while they fix this whole thing? >> the short-term fix is for those who haven't seen a doctor to go out into the private system. that kind of provision does exist in the v.a. and perhaps they should make it much more systemwide. at least in the short-term, it will take months to be able to fix this system. it may takeore than that, because what you have had is a 50% spike in the request for primary care visits in the last three years that only a 9% increase in the number of primary care doctors, there's a real imbalance between the demand for care and the supply of doctors to provide the care. >> interesting. ominous. chris wallace from washington. we'll be watching "fox news sunday." >> let me quickly say, we are going to be talking to the head of the house, veterans affairs committee. as well as the original
5:21 am
5:24 am
5:25 am
so i'm surprised it's only 51%. chloe, i'm starting with you, are the days gone where the woman doesn't put any cash in their purse when they go out on the first date? >> i'm from the south and went to auburn university. i was under the assumption if a guy asks you out, he's probably going to foot the bill. but every time i went on a first date before i got e engaged, i always offered to help pay, but i think the lines are blurred with online dating. and i feel like social lines are changing. now that women are much more powerful and can pay for ourselves, some guys expect girls to offer to pay. >> but camille, sometimes isn't it nice for a guy to pay? >> i would feel really uncomfortable if i didn't pay, but my wife and i dated since i was 16. i was feel very strange not paying on a first date. i expect she'll let me know when it's okay to do it some other way.
5:26 am
>> well, i'm starting to find that in this culture of the fuzzy relationships, where people don't even end up going out on dates. the first date and the man paying can kind of evolve what this relationship will turn into. >> there's a lot of let's watch netflix, go out in a big group of friends, you're texting friends, i think we are dating, i don't know. if you go out and he pays, that kind of means you're dating. if not, then you're bros, maybe not. but he's not expected to pay, that's not a signal anymore. i don't know how i would ever figure it out. >> is there any sort of respect that you gain or lose by who is paying? or does that not have any -- >> i spoke to my fiance about this yesterday, he said he's always paid for a first date no matter who he asks out or how well or bad the date has gone, but it is always nice when the woman offers to foot the bill or
5:27 am
says something about it, even if she doesn't really mean it. >> anna, if you go out on a date, you might go get a manicure or pedicure, you are spending all this money, katherine. >> you can pay a little bit of something. >> if he doesn't pay, it's not a date. if it's two people sitting next to each other at the same movie screen, that makes it a date. if not, you are buddies hanging out. that's all there is to it. >> we are becoming more powerful and independent making our own money, so at what point do you go dutch or the woman offers to pay, camille? >> maybe i'm old fashioned, but there's something chivalrous about paying for the first date and opening doors, i like all that stuff. as women get more powerful, not the weaker sex but perhaps the fairer sex, i don't mind taking care and holding open the door, putting my jacket down on the street is a bit much. >> wow. what does hollywood have to say
5:28 am
about this? they seem to be progressive in the dating world. >> two different stories, an da kendrick from "twilight" spoke out to say it is meaningless to pay for the first date, but it sets a precedent if the guy doesn't pay on the first date and it looks like he's poor. use good judgment. that it's kind of still that age-old thing, but the guy needs to pay. but jennifer aniston famously went on a date after she and brad pitt split up. the date was so bad that afterwards she ate her food quickly and she paid the bill to leave early. >> get out of there. >> way to go. >> chloe, camille, katherine, thank you, guys. great conversation. 28 minutes after the hour. it's happened again. a bounce house floats away and guess what? there are kids inside. how on earth does this happen? and students and staff at rutgers said no to condoleezza rice as the commencement speaker, but guess who ucla is embracing? jane fonda. does that make any sense? we report, you decide.

next week. the residents there want to kick her to the curb saying traffic will be a nightmare. tucker? >> i'll take it, clayton. well, now that eric shinseki resigned as secretary of veterans affairs, what is next? how does the government plan on fixing this systemic issue with the v.a.? joining me is a member of the veterans affairs committee, kansas senator jerry moran. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me. one of the reasons this occurred is people are trying to get bonuses. apparently executives within the senior staff and the department of veterans affairs gets rewarded if they can demonstrate that veterans are being seen and their appointments are made within a short period of time. the reality is that was not being done, but they created the list that is demonstrated it was, i assume in order to receive the bonus.
5:46 am
what we aught to be doing instead of saying the number that a veteran has to be seen, we aught to be asking the veteran, how do you like the service? are you beg well cared for? is the department of veterans affairs doing everything you can to assist you with the circumstances you are in? even when the secretary sent out the auditors to study the campus of the v.a. facility, what we have learned is this, most importantly, no veteran was asked, do you like what's going on here at this v.a. hospital or clinic? let's ask the veterans whether they are getting the service they need. >> absolutely. so do you think that general shinseki was the barrier to efficiency? is firing him going to make the v.a. that much better? >> tucker, this is a very important point. and while i was the first senator to call for the secretary to resign, if that's all that happens, that's nothing more than damage control. that's what we have had too much of. we have had damage control for months if not years at the v.a.
5:47 am
this has to be something more than just the secretary departing. this needs to be a significant change in the attitude, the leadership, the makeup and i would encourage or have encouraged the president to appoint a new v.a. secretary from outside the department of veterans affairs. somebody who brings in a different perspective. and i was troubled by what the secretary said, he was too trusting of the senior executive, that suggests to me we don't want the senior executives or any of those to need the replacement of eric shinseki if they weren't leveling with the secretary. >> do you think if this weren't an election year and democratic senators facing tough races hadn't complained about the v.a. that the president would have acted? >> tucker, i was amazed at the lack of attention, the lack of response to this issue. this is not something new at the department of veterans affairs, but what seemed to me to be different over the last several years is while there's always challenges in meeting the needs
5:48 am
of the veterans, there's always an effort or a plan to move forward to make progress, to have ideas about how to make things better. and it just seemed to me in listening to veterans in my state of kansas, they have lost hope in the department of veterans affairs. they have given up on their department. and that is the attitude given after this scandal, particularly in phoenix, was let's go do another investigation. these investigations have been there, they have been on the secretary's desk for months if not years, and so the amazing thing to me is there was little response just a status quo that was continuing, again, damage control at best. and it certainly, i suppose, helped that there were those who because of the politics of 2014 decided we needed to do something. but again, it better be something other than damage control or our veterans won't have the care and services that their service allows them to be so worthy of. >> senator jerry moran of kansas. senator, i appreciate you coming on this sunday morning.

very much in the same vein as wicked, the broadway play. the movie itself, a little slow at times. the beginning i thought, the first 20 minutes were weak. they did a weird job of giving a prequel element. the movie hits a good stride right in the middle when angelina jolie meets princess aurora. the movie itself is very, very average. angelina jolie was born to play this role. she's phenomenal and she's the only reason worth seeing it. >> i paid $18 to see this in imax 3-d. save yourself $6. also, it's not for young kids. there are some very scary and intense moments as well in the movie, even though it is pg. rick baker's make-up on angelina jolie was amazing. i gave it a 3 out of 5.

good morning, everyone. it's sunday, the 1st of june, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. we begin with a fox news alert. after five years of being held captive by the taliban, the only american prisoner of the war in afghanistan now free. but was the cost too high? we examine a swap for five taliban soldiers. and overnight, seven people perish in a fiery plane crash. we learn who was on board. we have brand new information. we'll bring it to you in moments. the bjowhat glenn greenwald to reveal next when he joins us this hour. "fox & friends" hour four starts right now.
6:01 am
thank you for waking up with "fox & friends" on this sunday morning. at this hour, sergeant bowe bergdahl is now in germany being treated by u.s. doctors. his next stop, likely texas. >> peter ducey, live in washington, d.c. peter, what cost was it to bring him home? >> anna, the taliban agreed to release army sergeant bowe bergdahl after the united states agreed to release five top taliban detainees from the prison at guantanamo bay. those five left cuba on a u.s. air force c-17 heading for qatar. they are responsible for now supervising the former detainees. chuck hagel says bergdahl was handed over to a navy s.e.a.l. team without complications. >> as you know, no shots were fired.
6:02 am
there was no violence. it went as well as we not only had expected and planned but i think as well as it could have. >> congress is supposed to get a 30-day heads up about prisoner swaps like this one. but they didn't. the pentagon says that's because intelligence showed bergdahl's health and safety were in danger. bergdahl still hasn't spoken with his parents but president obama has. he called to tell them their 28-year-old son was safe. the parents then stood by president obama's side for a rare saturday speech in the rose garden. >> while bowe was gone web was never forgotten. his parents thought about him and prayed for him every single day. as did his sister, skye, who prayed for his safe return. he wasn't forgotten by his commune in the idaho or the
6:03 am
military which rallied to support the bergdahl's through thick and thin. >> bowe bergdahl's dad also made a statement, speaking briefly in pashto, since his son is apparently having a hard time speaking and understanding english after almost five years in captivity. bergdahl is in germany, expected to travel next to brooke army medical center in san antonio, texas. back to you. >> unbelievable. peter ducey. five years in captivity. nearly one-sixth of this guy's life in taliban control. you saw what he looked like. he was really thin. thankfully he's getting medical attention this morning and get something good food, hopefully. >> i think everyone is thankful to see an american return home. we don't know really the circumstances of his capture, we don't know what he was doing off base in the first place an we don't know the effects this is going to have on americans abroad and troops abroad. we do know, this is without precedent. the united states never publicly
6:04 am
negotiated with terrorists in the way we did. let's be completely clear. the group that was holding bowe bergdahl is classified by the u.s. government as a terrorist group. the obama administration entered into direct negotiations with that group. that, again, is something we said we're not going to do and we just did. >> what's the logic of it being a ratio of one to five? one of our service members and five of these terrorists who make it their mission to kill americans? and in the name of allah. who's to say they are not going to go back home and immediately start doing exactly what they were at gitmo for? the statistics say they will. >> they're battle hardened, they were leaders, leading forces against united states troops. a national security expert was on the show earlier. he thinks this sets a dangerous precedent. listen. >> if he was the last american soldier in afghanistan it would be difficult to turn down this deal. there are over 30,000 american
6:05 am
soldiers that remain in afghanistan in addition to the american soldiers that are serving around the world. the message we just sent was kidnap them, that's the message that was sent to terrorists. the second message is, no matter what the u.s. says, we negotiate with terrorists, because the soldier was being held by the a haqqani network, officially labeled as a terrorist group. >> it's not just american troops abroad, though. it's travelers, tourists, businessmen who are all over this globe where terrorists have reach, kenya, southeast asia, pakistan, any of those countries are much more dangerous for americans this morning than they were yesterday. as you just heard, this sent a clear message, kidnap americans, we'll pay for you it. >> it's not just al qaeda, it's all of our adversaries being emboldened. michael showier, a friend of
6:06 am
the show was on the show earlier this morning. he said afghanistan as a result of this, not just because of this inference dent, could return to 2001. take a look. >> as far as i can recall in my mind sitting here, this is the first time we've done this in my memory anyway, to hand over very important people for one of our prisoners. the taliban got five players who will assist them to destroy whatever is going to be the government after we depart. before long we'll have an afghanistan in two or three years that is much worse than it ever was in 2001. >> they'll be coming home. they'll be hailed as heroes. they'll have prayed for them, probably the same way bergdahl will be getting a homecoming when he gets here. >> we'll be bringing you the details as we get them. a lot is muddy right now. it will become clear as all things do. >> other stories making headlines.

but more severe storms today across the central plains. there's a lot of rain to be had. some areas three or four inches. we'll also be dealing with severe weather. a tornado threat across parts of nebraska and kansas. not a huge tornado threat but we could see a few. certainly in that area watch out. temperaturewise, shaping up like this, 81 in fargo, 89 in chicago. the heat is across the central plains. not feeling incredibly hot just yet. amarillo, europe to 108 in phoenix. we go towards the day on wednesday and the heat continues to build across parts of the southwest. hey, guys, did you get any of the frozen yogurt? >> you ate it all. >> no point in showing us the food. yes, we're going to get enough. don't worry. nearly five years of captivity with the taliban, a prisoner swap finally bringing army sergeant bowe bergdahl home. but there is much more to the story, like who are the men we released in return?

veterans for america, pete hegseth. thanks for being with us. >> thank for having me. >> we're all happy that an american is coming home, the only prisoner of war of the war in afghanistan. but i mean does this come at a cost that's too high? >> yes, it's not just a dangerous precedent, it's a deadly precedent. this sets the terms for future conflicts and future discussions around prisoners of war and civilians, americans around the world. there's now a price tag where there never was a price tag before. that creates a whole other set of calculations for our enemies. i'm happy that bowe bergdahl is back. we can't imagine the brutality that he went through in the hands of the taliban in the last five years. it's a terrible precedent we set. >> these guys are, the administration motivated by what?
6:16 am
this has never happened before. we always said we don't negotiate with terrorists and now we flat out negotiated with a group that our government has identified as terrorists. why did this happen? >> well, i think there's a sincere desire to make sure that we don't leave the only prisoner of war in afghanistan. they wanted to make sure this president is on the rush for the exit. this mission, he's turning the page, as he says. i believe the motives are pure. the problem is, they were desperate. when you're desperate you lunge at the first opportunity you have. there were kinetic opportunities, military opportunities on the table which would have put many lives at risk. there have already been lives lost searching for bowe bergdahl. they took the deal they could get. the difficult part of this deal is that we traded five war-hardened terrorists with ties to osama bin laden for someone who is probably a desert deserter. we don't know all the facts here. most likely he walked off the base because he was disgruntled about american policy. that's the disturbing angle of
6:17 am
this. >> that's a valid point. you mention lives have been lost trying to find this guy. >> yes. >> it sets a dangerous precedent around the world just for american civilians traveling abroad, this idea that the taliban could swoop in, knowing where you in, you're a journalist in one part of the country or another, they think the americans, that's how they roll. we're going to get the guys out of guantanamo bay that have been there since 2001 with what they're thinking. >> that's exactly right. it's a slippery slope. where does it stop? aur allies in israel have had to give up thousands of palestinian terrorists for one dead israeli soldier. it is going to endanger americans across the country. we're not out of afghanistan yet. an american to st group there, kidnap so i can use him as a bargaining trip to get more folks out of guantanamo bay. we're talking about the deputy chief of the taliban who is
6:18 am
responsible, folks tied directly to 9/11. these are not just sort of poker chips. they will be rock stars in the taliban movement when they go back. >> why do this? i'm familiar with a bunch of different negotiations where cash was used. news organizations do it all the time. they don't admit it but they do. why didn't we do something like that? why did we have to give people that could potentially turn out to be dangerous? >> i don't know, tucker. i talked to a lot of people as this went down. there were deals on the table behind the scenes, including cash and equipment that were being discussed. there were other avenues that could have been approached. i think there was a lot of pressure to do something about it now. a lot of folks, duncan hunter was responsible for turning the defense department to focus on this issue which they hadn't focused on a long time. the state department has been the lead on this for a long
6:19 am
time. the state department will want to make a deal as opposed to a military solution. that's part of it. >> i was reading social media, seeing what our viewers are saying about it. why can we do this and make this deal for bowe bergdahl and yet we have andrew tamarisi in prison in mexico. can they make a deal there? >> maybe a pen and a phone. >> that guy has two tours in afghanistan, saves lives, is an absolute hero, this marine down in mexico, yet we won't do all that we can to bring him free. then we've got, and i hate to say it but the facts need to come out, likely a deserter. he decided the cause was unjust, the fighters he was fighting with were barbarians. yet we're allowing a decorated marine to sit there in prison. i don't understand the calculations that this administration makes and why they make them but they don't seem to make sense. >> interesting.

"no place to hide" recounts his journey within the nsa and his reporting on snowden. joining us now is journalist glenn greenwald. thanks for coming on this morning from rio de janeiro, brazil. what do you mean when you say you have one final firework of display left? what is it? >> there are a lot of stories left to report. i was saying the story i long thought might be the biggest one is the one that we're still actually reporting on. and it really is designed to answer the question of who exactly in the united states gets targeted with the most invasive kinds of surveillance, are these really terrorists or national security threats or are they people who the u.s. government sees as opponents, dissidents, scholars, authors and critics? that's the reporting we're working on now. i think that will help really shape how the story is
6:25 am
understood five and ten years later. >> no doubt about that. do you have access to that data, do you have a list of all the americans spied on by the nsa? >> we have some of them. and it's been a little bit misreported what our intention is. we're not going to take the entire list and indiscriminately publish it, in part because there are people on the list who wouldn't want to be identified as having been targeted by the nsa. in part because it could compromise legitimate surveillance operations. what we do want to do is report illustratively on the kinds of people who get targeted, people who are comfortable having the reporting include them. so that americans can understand what the real purpose of this system is and this serious potential for abuse. not just potential but how it can be used in ways that i think most americans would be uncomfortable with. >> can you give us a sense of the scale? we know from your reporting that the nsa has the capacity to basically monitor all electronic communications. to what extent are they actually doing it? how many people roughly would you think in the united states
6:26 am
have been spied upon? >> of course it depends what you mean by that, right? the u.s. as we know is collecting the list of people with whom we're all communicating, the metadata for all of us. that's several hundred million. when you talk about e-mail content, telephone calls, there's lots of americans whose e-mails they read and telephone calls they listen to without going to the pfizer corps. they communicate with people overseas. i don't know how many there are. even the cases through the fisa court, there are untold thousands, many, many, many thousands at all times that they're actually doing full-scale invasive surveillance into their communications. not a couple dozen, not a couple hundred, many, many thousand. >> interesting. so to ed snowden now. i thought from the beginning the revelations that the nsa is spying on its own people, that is us, pretty shocking, worth
6:27 am
knowing and make government better. the revelation that we're spying on other countries, however, have hurt the united states and it seems to me that it's entirely legitimate for one country to suer i surveil anoth it's always been done. why did he release those details? >> he's talked about that. let me say, first of all, he hasn't released anything. he gave these documents to journalists and asked journalists to make decisions about what was newsworthy. i think the blame lies with the journalists. what i will say in general, the privacy rights of americans matter as a huge deal. i think the prif siz vacies of nonamericans is an issue as well. and the problem tucker, is that we all use one internet. so if our government is out there casting a ubiquitous

spying net over the entire internet, they can't distinguish if this what this is. >> if snowden had stayed in the united states, given out journalists details about domestic spying, saying this is clearly unconstitutional, it's wrong, i'm going to stay and fight, send me money if you believe in my cause. everyone i know would have sent him money. he could have made a case and i think it would have been an important case to make and an argument to have. but he left. that made it much muddier. why did he do that? >> the real reason he left was because he was concerned that if the nsa and government discovered what he was doing before he met with journalists they would have been physically able to stop him. he wanted to be in a place where he could get this information
6:29 am
into the hands of journalists. in the wake of 9/11, u.s. courts have been incredibly deferential to the u.s. government. under theess spe espionage act, not allowed as a defendant to go into court and say i released this information because it was justified to do so because the public had a right to know because it exposed illegalities. you're barred from raising though defenses. it really wouldn't be a fair trial. he's been an extremely careful whistle-blow whistle-blower. he gave us tens of thousands of documents. in the year that we had them, we published a tiny percentage. at his insistence we've been extremely careful not to endanger people or legitimate pragues. >> as you said as one of your final stories in this ongoing stories, you'll srelease some o the names the nsa has been spying on. >> there's a lot of legal and

6:36 am
but i relive it every time i go back to the racetrack.light tha lot. it's a testament to the safety that's in nascar but also just to be able to walk away from that accident is nothing short of miraculous. >> how did you walk away from that, michael? >> i just really feel like, you know, god's protection was on me. wasn't my day to die, really. because you look at the accident and there's not a real reason that i would walk away from that unscathed. no broken bones. i raced the next day. it's miraculous. >> what were you thinking to the extent you were thinking at all, as the car was flipping 12 times. how seriously were you praying at that point? >> well, really i was thinking i'm going to lose my job. i was very young in my nascar career and that was only my second race. it's not a good way to debut your nascar career. but it's just a story that i get to tell across the nation, about my faith and walking away from an accident like that. >> very often we don't just talk about speed with nascar drivers.

you talk about sponsors. looking at your shirt, you have k-love on there. you're doing something with the k-love music awards. what's going on? >> we're here in nashville. a lot of great musicians and artists and authors. there's so much happening here and the fans get an opportunity to engage with their favorite artists. it's just a great event that's happening here in nashville, excited to be a part of it. tonight's going to be a lot of fun. i get to present the sports impact award. i'm looking forward to that. >> that's great. i mean, how often does a nascar driver get to align with a sponsor that is near and deer to his heart? tell our viewers about k-love if they're not familiar. >> yes, k-love is just a radio network that is always playing positive, encouraging music. that strengthens people's faith and leads into a relationship with jesus. that's what my nascar career is
6:38 am
about, it's an opportunity, a platform god's given me to share my faith and to be partnered with k-love and somebody that is like-minded and have 15 million listeners that support this k-love program is a great opportunity and a great responsibility as well. so excited to just have partners like that. that's what it's all about for me. nascar is cool. that's what i love to do. it's not who we are. k-love gives that opportunity for me to share who i am. >> you say you didn't come from a christian home. something like this literally god has to rock you out of your spot and show you the likes sometimes. thank you for sharing your story. >> thanks, michael. >> thank you. other stories making headlines on your sunday morning. terrifying moments when a bouncy house rolls away with two kids inside. >> you guys, watch out. get out of the way. get out of the way! >> well, we're showing you the

6:46 am
50 minutes before the top of the hour. legendary golfer phil mickelson under investigation. the securities and exchange commission are investigating whether mickelson got insider trading tips. what are the feds looking for and what could happen to lefty? >> no better person to ask than the host of "sunday morning futures," maria bartiromo. >> what is this about? is it real and what are they alleging. >> this will come down to whether the fbi and the securities and exchange commission can prove that carl icahn told mickelson as well as another buddy, that he was about to buy shares and accumulate shares of color rockilorox. this was in 2011. he amassed a 9.1% stake in the company. over the next several months he
6:47 am
made a bid to acquire clorox, of course, during this whole time, the stock shot up. the s.e.c. and the fbi, apparently those two bought shares of clorox. whether or not they can prove that in fact he gave them the tip and they knew this is coming from carl icahn, the big activist investor, they knew this was hot information and traded on it, that will be at the end of the day. >> does it matter? >> does it matter if they knew and they went and bought it? he runs a company, he's going to buy stock. maybe it would be a good time for me to invest. wouldn't carl icahn be the one in trouble, not them. >> this is a great point. this is exactly what we are trying to figure out, how much they knew, whether or not this was a tip. you're allowed to buy stock in a company because somebody gave you a tip to buy stock in a company. >> exactly. >> if that person says i'm going to make a bid for this company, then now know that you just got inside information and you are moving on it.
6:48 am
there is a nuance here. whether the fbi and s.e.c. can prove in fact they knew it and carl icahn was about to make the bid, this is where this was going to come down. >> doesn't this happen all the time? >> i feel like there are tips being given out all the time. you can't say that all the time someone says i'm going to acquire that company. >> right. >> you see it in congress. members of congress have gotten ripped doing this. >> this has bothered me for years, the fact that congress is not forced to follow all of the rules that everybody else follows. in fact, trading individual stocks. i mean, you can see policies coming out from the epa, from the banking sector. that clearly will either impact a stock or sector positively or negatively. why congress is allowed to trade individual stocks is a mind boggler. >> as far as phil mickelson goes, we heard from his lawyer, he says he didn't do anything wrong. >> who's coming up on your show today. >> we have a big show coming up.
6:49 am
we are talking about the v.a. scandal. now that we know shinseki is out, we want to talk to mike coffman. tomorrow, president obama will be coming out with new rules to cut back on carbon emissions. but at the same time, there are reports out there that this is going to cost billions of dollars from the economy and 240,000 jobs a year. because all of these coal plants will have to be shut down. we're talking about jobs, got the big jobs number out next week. we'll talk about where are the jobs. we'll talk with the head of a placement firm to show us where the jobs are and who's hiring. >> the show is called "sunday morning futures" because you're looking into the future. >> we're looking ahead. >> it's 10 1/2 minutes from now. do not miss it. >> thank you. coming up on "fox & friends" weekend, the creator of the military comedy "enlisted" joins us live. coming up.

don't go anywhere. captain: this is a tip. bellman: thanks, captain obvious. captain: and here's a tip. when you save money on hotel rooms, it's just like saving money on anything else that costs money. like shoes, textiles, foreign investments, spatulas, bounty hunters, javelins... the only thing better than the smell of fresh-cut grass... is the smell of perfectly level, fresh-cut grass. that yellow seat's my favorite chair. you wanna find a john deere dealer? just set your gps to tractor expert. when my grandson grows up, it's his. but it's all mine now.

6:54 am
not portrayed as broken but as heroes. tell us about "enlisted," your show, and how you had to tweak things yourself. >> this is about brothers who ationed. early on we really made the decision to show soldiers that really you don't see a lot in popular media, especially in comedy. >> it still puts a smile on your face.
6:55 am
explain how you can make sure that you're still respectful but make viewers laugh at the same time and really enjoy their time watching. >> i think it's a fine line. we tried to show that we cared. put the leg work in to get things right, to get the uniforms right, the hair right, mannerisms right, to show the community that we're on your side, we're not here to poke fun at you, but do a show about a job that you do but do it with love and respect, you know? it's getting the lingo down, marching correctly and saluting right. for us, that's incredibly important. i used to write on a show called scrubs. we would always try to get the medical stuff as right as possible. you never want to hear a doctor say let's do a head transplant because that takes you out of the scene. >> kevin, thank you so much. "enlisted" returns to fox tonight and we will be tuning
6:56 am

6:57 am
depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
