12:01 pm
>> good monday afternoon. first from the fox news deck. looks like the last american prisoner of war in afghanistan will not get a hero's welcome home, at least from some of his fellow soldiers two days after army sergeant bowe bergdahl went free, some of the men who served with him are telling reporters he is a desserter, soldier who reportedly once rote he was ashamed to be an american and in congress, some runs are slamming the white house -- republicans are slamming the white house for the deal with the taliban that led to the release. sergeant bergdahl spent five years? the honda the taliban after he went missing from from an army outpost to free him the united states traded five top taliban leaders from the prison on game bay. critics in come says the swap tells terrorists there's a price on our soldier's heads but the white house is strongly defending the deal and saying it was the right thing to do. >> whether it's the japanese or the north koreans or others, we have engaged in prisoner
12:02 pm
exchanges in the past. we don't -- the united states -- does not leave our men and women in uniform behind. >> but some of sergeant bergdahl's fellow soldier does not share the sense of celebration, apparently. according to some who served with him, sergeant bergdahl walked off to the job and into enemy hands, after he wrote e-mails to his parents that questioned this army's role in the war. he wrote, and i quote, i have seen their ideas and i am ashamed to even be american. the horror of the self-righteous arrogance. it's revolting. you intelligence officials confirming that sirring bergdahl's actions were the subject of major investigation in a classified file. we have team fox coverage. mike emanuel is on capital hill.
12:03 pm
first, jennifer griffin at the pentagon. what do we know about the sergeant's condition now? >> well, shep, still at a u.s. military hospital in germany, where he is being monitored around the clock bay team of medical specialists and schoolingist. they're deal -- psychologist, they're dealing with his physical issues. he has not spoken to his parents. >> most of all i'm proud of how much you wanted to help the afghan people, and what you were willing to do to
12:04 pm
other circumstances that may develop will be dealt with later. >> which is a formal military version into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance from his base in 2009. known as a 15-6 investigation. those investigations are incomplete until bergdahl has a chance to tell his side of the story according to defense officials, shep. >> jennifer griffin, thank you. of course, lawmakers in congress note the white house did not give them the 30-day notice of a prisoner swap that is required by american law. white house official are officials say sergeant bergdahl's health was so dire they couldn't wait the 30 days.
12:05 pm
we're beginning this one. mike emanuel is live on capitol will have this. what are concerns. >> that these five guys the united states gave up to get sergeant bergdahl back are really hard corps dangerous -- hard-core dangerous guy, senator behind digraham calling them the taliban dream team and there's suggestion this makes america less safe. national security members are furious they were not kept in the loop at all. >> this is absolutely ludicrous, and the thing is some notion that you couldn't do this for sensitivity reasons, the national security committees were briefed the entire time of the osama bin laden information and then raid planning, and then the raid itself. they have blood of thousands of afghans and americans on their hands, and we're releasing them to qatar and that's all we know. >> lawmakers want specifics
12:06 pm
about what is being done to make sure these identify guys do not return to the fight at a time the troops are expected to be in afghanistan -- >> to be clear there's no suggestion they well by returning to the fight. we don't know the details how they'll bell held and further, mike, it's not as if congress had not heard these names before but it's clear the law has been broken. democrats should not be surprised we want a soldier back. the only prisoner back. >> that's right. they say the united states does not leave men and women behind. they say the moment that sergeant bowe bergdahl was in american custody, that's when notifications to members of congress began and the president felt that was the right the to do in this case. a key senate democrat says the president would have gotten hammered if the mission has failed. >> if in fact this man's life had been lost, and it came out that we had this opportunity and our commander in chief passed on it the republicans would be going crazy right now. we saved this man's life.
12:07 pm
the commander in chief acted within his constitutional authority to in fact get that man after five years in captivity. >> hearings are expected to start here on capitol hill in a hurry. in fact there may be one as soon as tomorrow. >> not surprising there. mike, thank you very much. let's bring in a friend of the bergdahl family now. stephanie o'neill spoke with bowe bergdahl's parents last night and is at his home town in idaho. those are the two happiest people on earth. how are you. >> that are. i'm doing great and the town is doing great tied. this is the best news we possibly could have imagined. >> i know that the first priority now is to get him home. do his parents have an idea when they'll be able to see him and what the process will be or anything like that? >> i don't think so. i think at this point we're just waiting to see how he progresses, but i don't think there's any indication of a timeline at this point. >> has anybody been given word on how he is doing?
12:08 pm
the white house says his health was of greatest concern here. >> i think we know what we're hearing from the press at this point, and that right now our favorite point here is that he is alive and is safe, and we're just going to have to wait and see how he progresses from here. >> i was surprised to learn that this was a complete surprise to the parents, that there was no heads-up, this might happen, nothing as far as i can tell. is that right? >> you know, i don't know what they knew going in. i know it was sure a surprise to us near hailey on saturday morning. >> i know you want to avoid the politics but it's the elephant in the room. all of these people talking about what he did and did not do. i don't think it's possible that all these people who say they knew something did because they weren't there. >> well, none of us were there i think we have to leave that to be bowe's story to tell when he
12:09 pm
is able to. certainly here in hailey we're leaving the politics to the rest of the country and the world and we'll welcome him back with open arms. >> there is a plan for that, is there a game plan? >> there is. we had an event, an awareness rally planned for june 28th. everything was already in place. it was to be on the fifth anniversary of his capture, and now he has changed that to the bowe is back 2014 event, and we plan on having thousands of people here in hailie, and miss carol king will be performing for us, and it will be large party. >> hometown hostage comes home. that's headline alone -- stephanie o'neill, good to see you and the yellow balloons. take good care. >> thank you, shep. >> a former fbi hostage negotiator says being rescued after so many years in captivity is like coming home from a drive
12:10 pm
done troy plan hat tan. >> a coast-to-coast alert for a man possessing explosives. there's much more to this story and we're working to get the details. the fbi is on the hunt and the details are coming up.
12:11 pm
12:12 pm
>> a nationwide man houston underway for -- underway for man
12:13 pm
suspect of carrying explosive materials. ryan chamberlain ii is in question. a special media consultant from san francisco. investigators suspect he had bombmaking materials in his apartment, but when they arrived with the search warrant on saturday, he was gone. fbi agents say earlier reports that he had the poisonous substance ricin turned out not to be true at all, but they're considering him armed and dangerous. an fbi spokesman says the suspect was last seen in a dark blue hooded sweatshirt and jeans. agents say the man is traveling in a white 2008 nissan altima with texas of california license plate but don't know where he is heading. in fact they don't have any inside. trace gallagher is live. what did they find in the suspect's apartment? >> it's hard to tell because the authorities have now sealed both the search warrant and the of david and won't tell us what they found inside the apartment after searching for some 15
12:14 pm
hours. but they certainly had plenty of hazmat teams on scene. there were numerous reports that police found a chemical used in assisted suicide and the san francisco examinerrer just published what appears to be a suicide note from ryan chamberlain that reads in part, quoting here, betrayal, abandonment, isolation, and loneliness. i couldn't take it this time. time is up. thank you, i'm. so i i love you. yet majors named ryan chamberlain posted this on twitter about an hour and 25 minutes ago, quoting here: a panic update to my letter that should have posted by now. nothing they're reporting is true. no stashes. not armed, and it ends there with dot, dot, dot. and police will not confirm whether he is dead or alive. police will also not confirm whether he had explosives inside his vehicle. >> it seems like we're missing a lot of pieces here. what more do we know about this
12:15 pm
guy? >> well, we know he worked on a number of political campaigns in the san francisco area, including for both democrats and republicans, including for the former mayor of san francisco, gavin newsome, he also walked for the san francisco chronicle, handling social immediate gentleman and was a lecturer at the university of san francisco, friends say he has been out of touch recently, but we went on his social media and couldn't find anything that indicates he had violence intentions or violent tendencies, so, yes, there's a nationwide search for this guy, shep, but the police won't exactly detail why there's a nationwide search for this man. >> all right, trace gallagher, updates as we get 'em. so what if you had to pay a little more for sugary soft drink because of the calories they have in them? would you? there's a new study folks would generally skip the super size and drink less. what do you think about a possible calorie tax? there is a proposal out there that we should all know about
12:16 pm
and kennedy is their explain that's next from the fox news deck.
12:17 pm
12:18 pm
12:19 pm
>> russia is calling for an emergency meeting with the united nations securities council demanding an immediate to end the deadly violence in ukraine. it comes after hundreds of pro-russian insurgents attacked border guard camps in eastern ukraine. nothing is calming down in the east of ukraine. hundreds of rebel fighters, some of them here, attacking the camp today, and here you have a pro-russian militant on a rooftop with a grenade launcher. rebels reportedly promised
12:20 pm
safety for the officers if they surrender. the border guards fired back. shots killed five people. these are pro-russian fighter who attacked this government check point outside donetsk. this is the border position here and those are the flags of ukraine, and this last one this ukrainian army taking position in the tanks around the checkpoint, back in moscow, defense official says the russian military is conducting a show of force of its own this week involving high precision missiles. they did not say whether the crisis in ukraine is affecting the war games. we'd all cut down on soda if the government imposes a calorie tax. that's according to the reporting of "the new york times," citing a new study that breaks down just how much we would have to pay. this study finds that folks could consumer nearly 10% fewer calories in drinks if they had to pay a tax of .04 per of a
12:21 pm
penny per calorie. what would you pay for a normal 12-ounce cack? but for a 16-ounce vitamen water you hey four cents because it has fewer calories. >> kennedy joins us now. the host of the independents on the fox business network. it's not-a-we don't know we have an obesity problem. the worst one in the world, but is this the exclusion for it? >> of course it's not. the solution is never the solution but these government nannies are create managey state. my worry is if the government is paying for your health care, they will want to -- >> they don't pay for our health care -- >> we're heads toward thesingin. >> that's another thing. what we have is the government setting up exchanges where we buy health insurance which is
12:22 pm
what we have always done. >> we have exchanges where the government has more involvement. it's not necessarily government sponsored but bureaucratry run. >> it fits the narrative nicely. whether the government should tax us for having things we maybe shouldn't have is another matter. >> is the government the body to decide what you should and shouldn't have in your body? that's my problem. i see a direct connection between the government having more say in your health care and the government having more say in what you pay for things it deems bad to put in your body. the problem with these taxes on sugary sodas and food and beverages that are deemed unfit for consumption, is it tends to punish poor people. and it is not people who probably could afford to hire nutritionists and others to consult what they put in their body. it's people who can't afford to be tacked anymore, and the sin taxes are only going to multiply.
12:23 pm
>> disproportionately alcohol taxes and tobacco taxes affect the poor more than they affect the rest of us. >> people are cutting down on smoking because it's not good for you. the childhood obesity rates are actually dropping for kid between one and five. >> in this town cigarettes cost $15 a pack. >> they're really expensive. people still smoke. not as many. a lot of people figured out, yes, government is using coercion to try to bully people into stopping smoking, which is a bad thing, but i bake with sugar. i don't want the government telling me that i can't have evaporated cane sugar or whatever i choose to put into my baked goods. i don't need someone from the california state legislature looking over my shoulder. but that's what the senate is doing in california. they're trying to do the exact same thing they have done in new york city, which is create a tax for sugary beverages. >> if you can tax sugary beverages more why not tax dominoes pure cane sugar or
12:24 pm
cheese or anything else that is nye calories -- >> or a big tub of kool-aid. i don't know if you remember that but we would put a half a cup of kool-aid powder into a glass of party and it was delicious. >> or pixie sticks. if it had sugar, i would eates always. >> the still sell pixie sticks and still have bake sales. the point is the solution does not start expend with government. it's parents teaching the children. and ill see the first lady saying our government taxes have to go to funding kids' school lunches i said, no, parents need to put better stuff in their kid's lunches themselves. >> libertarian view. >> do it yourself and pro freedom. >> 9:00 eastern time, 8:00 central, on the fox business network. >> shep. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> so we want know what you think. should the government add taxes
12:25 pm
for sugary drinks. maybe for our own good or they want more taxes. would you drink less sugary soda? you can tweet us. pentagon officials say the freed american prison over war, sergeant bowe berg dow, faces a long road to recovery. what we know about the prisoners traded for bergdahl. an unprecedented plan to cut pollution from power plants. supporters call it an important step in the fight against man maid climate change. critics say it will cost us money and jobs. maybe both sides are right. that's coming up on the fox news deck right after this. we asked people a question, how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old.
12:26 pm
i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ ♪ 800,000 hours of supercomputing time, 3 million lines of code, 40,000 sets of eyes, or a million sleepless nights. whether it's building

the bottom of the hour and time for the top of the news from the fox news deck. the release of five taliban detainees in exchange for u.s.a. prisoner of war, sergeant bowe
12:31 pm
bergdahl, is a great victory. that's the word from the leader of the taliban. he describes the former detainee as senior members of the taliban group. a pentagon review of the men indicates they rose -- they pose a high risk to american security. amateur video shows taliban members greeting the men in the nation of qatar. fox news cannot confirm the authenticity of the video. u.s. officials say qatar has agreed to restrict the men's activities, though we don't know the details. qatar agreed to ban them from traveling outside that country for at least one year. the white house defended the deal saying the united states does not leave its men and women behind in a war zone. several high-ranking republicans say the swap could set a dangerous precedent and encourage terrorists to take more american hostages. catherine herridge is live in washington. not as if this idea is making trades is new. iran-contra comes to mind. what do we know about these former detainees.
12:32 pm
>> the u.s. military at guantanamo reviewed the men's cases and found they were high-risk detainees with a strong likelihood they would return to terrorism if released. abdul was at guantanamo for more than a decade, former senior taliban intelligence official some an alleged intelligence operative for the al qaeda network. al-marri is a member of the taliban with operational ties to al qaeda. it's alleged he helps al qaeda operatives escape. >> fazal is a former taliban military commander whose forces fought against the u.s. backed northern alliance and accused of war crimes. others have ties to osama bin laden and a former leader in iraq, and nori is a former taliban provincial govern
12:33 pm
and is deemed to be a high-risk detainee, and more significantly, the men were hand-selected by the taliban as the individuals they were willing to negotiate for. >> what else is the white house saying about all of this, catherine? >> well, a short time ago the white house spokesman saying there are restrictions, including a one-year travel ban. >> assurances were sufficient to allow the secretary of defense, chuck hagel in coordination with the national security team to determine the throat posed by the detainees to the united states would be sufficiently mitigated. >> we have reported from guantanamo more than any other broadcast network, and the trend from 2008 is the number of detainees confirmed or suspected of returning to the battlefield is climbing and it now approaches nearly 30%. that's one in three suspected of returning to the battlefield or confirmed of returning to the battlefield. and just to bottom line it there were some assurances today put
12:34 pm
not a lot of detail on what the assurances would be in the year beyond with these five detainees. >> catherine her ridge, live with us. >> sergeant bergdahl's time in captivity was like a deep sea dive and if he surfaces too fast it could kill him. that's from his father. a pentagon spokesman says medical experts in germany, including psychologists, are treating sergeant bergdahl for various conditions and says the sergeant has not yet spoken with his family. chris voss is a former international hostage negotiate you're for fbi and now manager of insight security. all the politics aside, there's a lot ahead for this man. >> yeah. his re-integration will be -- if it's done incrementally they can take good care of them but has to be done very slowly. >> what about process here? is there a tried and true method for -- i don't know --
12:35 pm
reassimilation? >> there is, and the department of defense has gotten really good at this in the last few years. they have a re-integration team, personal recovery team and found if they take it very slowly and bring them back slowly, which is evident from what the family's statements that the defense department has briefed the family on how slow it needs to be, and the families buy-in on this is important. >> from the beginning we know he wrote a note to the people who picked him up, s.t.? special forces? we're lead to believe either he can't speak or he is having trouble with the english language or something. if he is having trouble with the english language that would suggest he has been through a lot more than five years away. >> right. he has probably been through a tremendous amount of psychological mistreatment. a lot to go through to the point where he is destabilized in his ability to communicate. the psychologists working with him will recognize this and bring him around really slowly and as long as they do it slowly
12:36 pm
he'll be all right. >> chris, one of the things in play here is we're told he had this e-mail in his van that said he didn't look the way things were being conducted, didn't like the conduct of the war, ashamed to be an american, all of that. that requires some work as well. if he was already in that sort of a enemy place where he thought the work he was doing was a negative overall, then he already had issues. >> well, possibly. some of this is also -- the department of defense is training people to not let themselves get killed unnecessarily when they're in captivity. they have to draw a line internally and psychologically as to is this particular issue worth getting he killed over? doesn't do the united states government any good for them to get killed unnecessarily while they're in captivity and they have to make some decision as to where their breaking points are and then do the best they can possibly do to return with honor, and i believe that's what he is trying to do here. >> i would think. chris, nice to see you.
12:37 pm
thank you very much. >> my pleasure. >> the white house today announced a historic plan to take on manmade climate change. opponents of course are calling it a job killer and say we could all end up paying higher energy prices. under this plan, coal-fueled power plants-across the united states have to cut they're carbon dioxide emission by 30% by the year 2013. so 16 years from now. that 30% compared to their level in 2005. it's a very big deal. cole -- coal supplies 40% of the nation's electricity, and for the first time existing power plants face limits on the carbon dioxide, the main gas linked to global warming. here's the most states that use coal. no huge surprise. kentucky, 93-plus percent of all of its collect comes -- and look here in west virginia, 96.2% in west virginia. some missouri, 83%.
12:38 pm
wyoming, 9%. -- 89, utah, 70%. alaska, six%ment up here, in[l" vermont, nothing. no coal energy at all. nevada is low so it's low out here in idaho as well. not everybody is on board with the plan, especially not people in this area. including some lawmakers from both parties as well as powerful energy groups. don't forget how powerful the energy lobby is. they've say the proposal could wipe out hundreds of thousands of jobs and cost all of us money when we pay our bills, shannon has the details. >> the administration says based on science and a moral obligation it is moving forward with these regulations, considered to be some of the most sweep in epa history. epa administrator knows there will be resistance. >> i know people are wondering, can we cut pollution while keeping our energy affordable and reliable? sure, we can.
12:39 pm
we can and we will. critics claim that your energy bills we skyrocket. should i say that again. they're wrong. [applause] >> thank you. >> but that is exactly what then-candidate obama said would happen help he was campaigning in 2008. telling the san francisco chronicle, quote, under my plan of a cap and trade system electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. as you noted. kris critics are taking aim at the plan. u.s. chamber of commerce estimates the new rule would amount to a drop of 51 bill a year in economic output as well as they say 224,000 fewer jobs every year through 2013. republicans and democrats -- through 2030. republicans and democrats, pickerly those in coal-producing states and heated campaigns are pushing back. >> there's more concern at 1600 for the legacy of the occupant than the political repercussions

the government could be getting a better look at your face. that's according to the reporting of the "new york times" which cites top secret documents from ed snowden that reportedly show the agency is getting its hands on millions and millions of images each day and sending them to facial recognition programs. talking about images from e-mails and texts, from social media, from a bit of everywhere. it's all apparently part of the nsa's global surveillance program. agency officials reportedly claim it will revolutionize how they find intelligence targets robbed the world. what is not clear is how many
12:45 pm
americans' faces may be on file. american. but an agency spokeswoman reportedly tells the times that the nsa would need to get court approval to look into american's images. just like it would need to read your e-mail or listen to your phone calls, has to get approval. but she says there are exceptions like if you send the images to anybody the nsa is targeting outside the united states. this is not sitting will with people who care about privacy. joining -- nice to see you. how big a problem is this? >> i think it's being overstated. >> oh, good, go on. >> the potential for facial recognition software being used for tyranny is tremendous. its scares me tremendously. what we're talking about here is nsa targeting foreigners. this is an intelligence war more than anything else. we don't have to worry if our carriers can beat their tanks.
12:46 pm
we have to have spell generals to know who they are, where they are, and what they're planning. without that it they'll be killing us. i have not seen anything come out of snowden's treason that suggests nsa has broken the law or violated the constitution -- >> there are plenty who disagree with you on that matter. >> i know that. >> we'll find out in the end but we know they're collecting all kinds of digital images, they're clothing e-mails, who is making phone calls to whom and the rest. it's your sense that then just having access to these photos is -- >> this is like having access to fingerprints. the fbi has a bill fingerprints in their lab. they'll search if they get a fingerprint off a murder weapon to try to identify and it a computer will look at millions and millions of fingerprints and will spit out a small number, maybe one, maybe half a dozen, they will follow up on. they're not using this to follow
12:47 pm
americans. again, an american who sends e-mails or his photograph to a foreign terrorist might well get their face in this system, but the system will allow us, for example, if we gate photo of a group of terrorists where we know two or three of them are terrorists to perhaps identify the other people, eliminate them as terrorists or identify them as terrorists, and it could be helpful in stopping the next 9/11. the constitution does not prohibit all government searches. it prohibits unreasonable searches, and even something like airport searches wog the slightest probable cause have been upheld as lawful. the idea that a computer should not be able to search the face of overwhelmingly foreign nationals for the purpose of finding out who is planning to kill americans is shortsighted. >> you mentioned fingerprints and we know they collect them from people who have been charged with or suspected of
12:48 pm
crime. maybe they should just collect everybody's firefighters that would help them as well -- everybody's fingerprints. >> that might. >> everybody should submit our fingerprints. >> that's a wonderful example. we're trying to balance competing interests. we have a very important value of civil liberties, privacy, and so forth. but remember one of our most important civil liberties is in the fifth amendment and that is no person shall be denied life, liberty, or property -- sorry -- or property without due process of law. that's not alphabetical. life comes first and if you lose your life you lose all of your civil liberties and the government is acting to protect the national security again foreign attack. the supreme court held that's the ultimate government interest and balancing that against privacy violations has given the government a lot of leeway. >> professor robert turner from uva, whose baseball team just advanced to the super-regionals. congratulations, sir good, to see you. >> the fbi now looking at a case
