6:00 am
ha, ha, ha. >> wait. siri laughs now? >> yeah. siri laughs at me all the time. >> appear system going to get rid of all that stuff. thank you for joining us. we'll be back here on the same couch tomorrow. same time, same channel. >> same outfits. >> wapping swaping him for five dangerous detainies and framed by him in a moment. i am bill hemmer. >> and i am martha maccallum. this video was created by the taliban to lead him to the chopper telling him don't come back we will kill you. they say there is no reason to
6:01 am
believe the video but it is sparking a lot of controversy at home. peter deucey is here. how long do they think the process took? >> it was one minute from the time it touched down to the time it took off. the pentagon said they have no reason to question the video that showed him with shaved eyebrows and told him not to come back to afghanistan and he will not leave alone. it is next to hill where a dozen al qaeda members are there. they waved a flag and three means broach and pat him down and american rescuers waved back and bowe bergdahl looked forward and didn't have trouble walking
6:02 am
to the black hawk. and he was given a second, more thorough patdown, helped into the helicopter and taken off. >> what made the white house act so quickly? they said they had to get him now because he was in ill health. >> this is before and 20-11 proof of life taliban video and the other was december 2013 proof of life video both given through the united states through mead adiators in qutar they said the rapid decline of his health was alarming and identified several ailments that might have taken his turn for
6:03 am
the worse. we have seen him, he was alive and able to walk. both sides of the aisle fuming over the decision to trade bowe bergdahl for the five top terrorist they wanted back in their country. here are the leaders of the republican and democratic leaders in the senate intelligence committee on that. >> this afternoon i am going to send a letter to the president and i am going to demand that he declassify each of the classified files on these five individuals. the president needs to look the american people in the eye and explain to the american people why he was justified in releasing the five individuals. >> it comes with some surprise and dismay that the transfers went ahead with no consultation and totally not following the law and in an issue of this kind of concern to a committee that
6:04 am
bears the oversight responsibility i think you can see that we are very dismayed about it. >> chris style wall is here. good morning to you. this is a law passed by congress, signed by the president and didn't give 30 minutes note. they are taking heat from both sides. >> they badly bungled the pr on this. they had the president go into the rose garden with the sergeant's parents and susan rice on the sunday show and that was a disaster because it wasn't true and it enraged democrats and republicans who said you don't have time to brief us but had time to put together an in
6:05 am
effective pr push? >> and one of the person that works for rice, tony blinken, was asked about if he served with honor and distinction. is there a backtracking on that characterization? >> medium waffling. they are waffling backwards in a show fashion. but can you imagine anybody on the earth who should know more about being prepared and speaking accurately on the sunday show than susan rice? how could they come to a pass and put her on the show again and say something that is not true? how could they do it? they did >> chuck hagel was talking about the claims of some of the former
6:06 am
soldiers who served with bowe bergdahl suggesting people lost their life looking for him. he said i don't know of soldiers dying trying to find bowe bergdahl. is that the defense we are going to here? >> the defense is it is complicated and they don't know. i would say the point that charles crad hammer made and if this was put forward into spirit of high minded regret and woe don't think this is good, but we had no choice. they would have gotten more leeway from senate democrats and including republicans. this credit taking and putting points on the board is doing damage to continue to prosecute foreign policy. >> we will hear what democrats and republicans have to say very soon. thank you for your time in d.c.
6:07 am
the pentagon digging deeper in the circumstances of sergeant bowe bergdahl's capture and this opens up review on why he left the base in the first place. his former team leader, even buto, says there the much, much more to the story than a soldier who walked off his base and he will tell us his recollection of the day and the search in the following days. >> and the five prisoners released are able to move around qutar freely and they are living with their family in what is considered a luxury villa. they can travel and leave in a year later. the united states will not be involved in monitoring their
6:08 am
movements. tell us what you think on twitter at martha maccallum or bill hemmer. >> the deal last one year and then they are free to go back to afghanistan or wherever they want. and one year goes very quickly. we will be able to hopefully see what the outcome of that and hopefully it will be okay. the results are still coming in from yesterday's election primary with eight states holding elections. in the mississippi race, cochrane and mcdaniel race is too close to call. mcdaniel is slightly ahead with 50% to 49%. and joanie erst got 56% of the
6:09 am
vote and had endorses of sarah palin and marco rubio. her ad was memorable and put her on the map >> i would like to gain hard to gain the trust of their supporters also because it is going to take all of us to unite this party and win in november. >> robert is watching this in jackson mississippi with the latest on the still undecide race there -- john -- >> it looks like it will be three weeks of mississippi mud. it looks like it is going a runoff on the 24th of june. chris mcdaniel holding a narrow edge over the six-term in cum bent who watched the lead
6:10 am
evapate. >> this is a historic moment in this state's history. [ applause ] >> and because of your hard work, because of your dedication, we sit here tonight leading a 42 year incumbent. >> reporter: the campaign said they are confidant saying they know how to win a runoff election which is interesting because they have never done that. >> thad cochrane has been there since the '70s so that is a great race. what about iowa? >> you mentioned the republican
6:11 am
nomination for joanie came easy. she had the broad support from mitt romney all the way down to grassroots. >> this soldier, this mother, and this proven iowa conservative is proud to be your republican nominee for the united states senate. right here, right now, this is our chance to change the direction of our country. >> she is going to go up against bruce brayly in november. she gained attention with an ad saying she knows how to cut pork because she grew up castrating hogs. >> we remember that.
6:12 am
who could forget that? >> something not a lot of politicians can say out there. >> mother nature unleashing into the northwest. a super cell caught on camera. >> and a scare in the air for miranda lambert. >> and what happens next for bowe bergdahl? will he come home? one of his fellow soldiers said he needs to answer for actions overseas. >> he needs to go through the proper channels any other deserter would go through. he is a deserter and needs to be held hundred percent accountability for his actions. accountability for his actions. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

6:15 am
6:16 am
>> scary moments for miranda lambert. her jet lost pressure and they were forced to make an emergency landing in west virginia. sheposted this telling her family they had an emergency problem but they found platinum fire suits. bowe bergdahl is said to be recovering in germany and according to soldiers he left his post five years ago but we don't know.
6:17 am
the pentagon says intent is key. it could the decided factor in deciding to bring charges against him. we have a criminal defense attorney here. how are you doing? >> good morning. >> do you think he is coming home? >> i think, yes, we will come home to the united states eventually but the real question is will there be desertion under article 85 of military justice require the person leave their unit with the intention of permanently staying away. if he left a note behind saying we wanted to leave the army and start a new life that would be a good piece of evidence showing his intention at the time. >> and e-mails with the family three days before he left. you are saying he will return
6:18 am
from germany and when we don't know. but you don't believe he will be prosecuted -- why? >> in the military justice system there is a command known as unlawful command influence and the idea is that people higher in command are not supposed to comment on those lower in command. you had the president in the rose garden especially declaring him a war honor and susan rice saying similar things. that sends a message loud and clear to those junior to the president about making the prosecution. >> there is no requirement. so is this the president's call ultimately? doesn't the military have jurisdiction here? they want to figure out what
6:19 am
happened. if they feel he deserted, don't they want justice? >> it is the unit commander's call and they are going to be obligated to comply with the commander in chief regardless of their personal feelings. >> the unit commander who was in afghanistan at the time -- would he have been at the outpost where bowe bergdahl was? >> no, it would go to a flag officer. if he wanted to plead guilty this could be done with a lesser type. but i don't think it is going to get that far. >> and claims about people dying searching for him. if it doesn't get that far, what happens? >> i think what happens is he is separated from the army and eventually returns into live as
6:20 am
a civilian as if nothing happened. i don't think there is going to be a prosecution although it is possible. that note left behind is smoking gun that tell me his intention at the time he left the unit. >> if you are right, phillip, that is remarkable. phillip holloway, thank you for your time. severe storms ripping through the central planes. can you imagine? that is base ball size hail pelting the houses and windshields. more on the wild weather and where it is going next. >> terrifying moments for a teenager home alone. >> do you need police, fire or rescue? >> i think someone is trying to break into my home. i heard the door being pounded, knock, turning the knob.
6:21 am

a quick thinking teenager left home alone did the right thing during a home innvasion. he called 911. >> he is coming in now. just heard him. he is coming in. i can see him. he is black. black tank top. >> were are you at in the house? >> i am in the front room with my shoe horn as a weapon >> luckily the boy wasn't injured. police arriving nine minutes later arresting a 22-year-old man who was armed with a knife and held now on $75,000 bond. >> that is every teenager's nightmare and he handled it well. this dramatic video of severe
6:25 am
storms moving through the heartland near lincoln, nebraska. you had a line of storms hitting several midwest states during the afternoon and this car getting battled by hail. look at this bouncing off the wind shield. several vehicle and houses were damaged with severe flooding. garret tenny is live >> nine reports of tornados in kansas, iowa, wyoming and there in nebraska. omaha, nebraska was hit hard with winds between 65-85 miles per hour. combined the hail to damage hundreds of homes and hundreds of cars and shattering windows and windshields and uprooting trees and effecting tens of
6:26 am
thousands of homes. a local dealership said the storm damaged 4500 vehicles. these storms impacted primary elections there in iowa and south dakota as well where some polling locations had to be closed temporarily due to the weather. >> more expected today? >> a lot more working into ohio valley. this is part of a weather phenomenon like an inland hurricane with strong winds and heavy, heavy rain. those heavy rains especially in omaha where the winds were record-breaking c ning causing flooding. police and fire departments using boat rescues and helping drivers as well who were stuck
6:27 am
in the car. illinois, missouri and working into indiana and ohio and west virginia today. covering a lot of land. people need to keep an eye on their weather alerts >> tough stuff out there. garret, thank you. >> you want to be in the garage when that hail is coming back. why dan morino isn't going to be involved in a lawsuit against the nfl a day after he said i am in on this one. >> stick around, we will speak live moments away with bowe bergdahl's former team leader who was there when he disappeared and what happened that night and the scarier things that happened after that. >> our mission changed and since the mission changed people were put at risk and people's lives were lost because we were searching for him. searching for him. how much money do you think you'll need when you retire?
6:28 am

6:31 am
fox news alert getting a snapshot on the economy. measuring the private sector adding only 179,000 jobs and that is a big miss. stuart varney is here. that number tells you what? >> no big breakout for the economy. a lot of people were hoping for, maybe even expecting a big
6:32 am
rebound, big expansion for the economy, not going to happen. looks like we are still in the doldrums. this is make or break week for the economy. lots of numbers out in the next couple days that give us an indication of whether we will have an expansion or continue with the new numbknenew normal. productivity is declining and we have a near-record trade deficit. >> thursday and friday more numbers on what? that will measure what and tell us what? >> jobs. the numbers were going to primarily be about jobs. big number on friday with the unemployment rate and finding out how many new jobs are being created in the month of may. that is a big number. we are expecting maybe 200,000 in that month. that is not a big number. that indicates more doldrums and
6:33 am
not the broke breakout that many people see. >> are we moving in the right direction? >> yes, the economy appears to be expanding a little, which is something of a recovery, but it is nowhere near where it needs to be grow. we should be at 5% considering where we were. >> see you at 11 p.m. eastern time. as we continue to get reports on the actions before disa di disappearing. his leader says he walked away and was also trying to communicate with the taliban:
6:34 am
evan butto is here. >> that you can for having me. >> what do me mean by the fact of what happened after alarmed you more than the fact he walked off the base is how you reported it? >> yes, i mean right in the days following with all of the assets we had in the area looking for him, he got reports -- or not reports -- we heard on the radio chatter there was an american looking for someone who spoke english so he could speak to the taliban. i heard that from the intereptor's lips and that alarmed everyone. he was attempting to contact the taliban on his own accord and for all of us we arethinking he knows everything about us. how many trucks, how many men, where our ping positions are,
6:35 am
fields of fire. it could be for many reasons and there is nothing to proof he told them anything, but knowing he was trying to find the taliban but us on edge doing what we could do bump up our security and you are on high alert anyway the whole time you are deployed and this bumped up especially in the platoon. >> you discover he is not there and then you hear reports of an american out there looking for someone who speaks english and looking to connect with the taliban is the suggestion from what you said. did this ring true to you? did you believe this of him based on what you knew of him? >> based on what i knew of him, him looking for someone who spoke english to talk to the taliban that was surprising to
6:36 am
me. him walking away from the op wasn't surprising to me only after we found out he was gone. no body believes anybody is komb going to walk away from a base especially in afghanistan on the front lines. things he said to me and other members in the platoon leading up to that were not shocking or alarming at the time, however when we walked away, the light bulb went off and it was like he walked away. as hard as that is to understand for people not there but it wasn't surprising. him seeking out the taliban, that was a little alarming and shocking to us. >> what kind of things did he say to you all? >> i will speak as the team
6:37 am
leader. he came to me a few times in the days leading up to him will he leaving and asked how he could get money. he needed money which isn't shocking. he wanted to know how much he could get out. i took him to the finance area and said this is how you do it and that was it. he came up and wanted to mail his computer home and belongings. lots of soldiers mail computers and belongings homes here and there so it wasn't alarming at the time. he came to me asking what happened happen if my sensitive items went missing and that would be weapon and night vision and that made me chuckle at the
6:38 am
time because it is rhetorical question to ask that. you know the answer to that question. if is a very big deal when things go missing especially if you are on a deployment. everything shutdowns and you need to find the item especially a weapon. the tone he said it to me and how it was presented to me, it wasn't shocking and people might not understand that, but the thing is no one thinks that someone is going to walk away from their post. so there is no way to -- it just wasn't shocking. i answered those questions and then he ends up leaving and that is when it is like all of these things -- mailing the computer, trying to get cash, and talking about sensitive items going missing -- it is becoming clear. >> there are also reports after he disappeared there was an
6:39 am
increased number of attacks in the region where you all were. did you discuss that with each other? were you concerned that he might have been tipping them off to your movements? >> yes, we were all very concerned about it. i wouldn't say the fact there was more attacks as much as the attacks that happened were far more calculated and far more organized. like prior to him leaving we would get blown up by ied's all of the time. however, before we left we had giant mine rollers and they would hit the ied and it would blow up or go to the side of the road. after them leaving, they started going off directly under trucks. they were starting to get direct
6:40 am
hit and the attacks seemed more methodical and were planned out and anyhow what we were doing. and we were thinking about that knowing he sought out the taliban. there is no way to confirm any fact he was telling them anything. but as a platoon we thought it was a possibility. >> you have said that some people died looking for him. and lieutenant darren andrews was ranked above you and died like a hero by all reports. is that your understanding of what happened to him? >> yes, that is accurate. there has been a lot of talk about the soldiers that died on directed patrols trying to locate bergdahl and i would like to clarify how that it.
6:41 am
i think people think a directed patrol in search of bergdahl would mean helicopters coming in and you know exactly he is in this house and you are coming in and snatch him and there is a fight and people die. it isn't like that. it isn't like there was a directed patrol like that. it is more like when bergdahl left the entire mission statement and the whole mission changed. everything went to a recovery mission. we were going from village to village based on intelligence he was in this village or now he is in a convoy of two sedans and three motorcycles. >> and you are directed to track that down. i am almost out of time. when you heard rice say he severed honerable what was your
6:42 am
reaction? >> it made me upset. what the administration is saying right now that is fine. they know a lot more than i do when it comes to that part of it apparently. i amnot trying to get on the political side. but this is the exact opposite of what happened and it is a slap in the face for those that deployed and came home or died at war. he is a deserter. no hero. >> thank you for being with us. thank you for your service. >> thank you for having me. >> one thing he describes this is in the far region of afghanistan along the border of pakistan. they had 25-30 guys to fight and
6:43 am
defend them. whenever they come under attack it was up to them to make sure they stayed alive. >> and darren andrews, whose parents were on fox and friends, it appears he saved the lives of other people when he was killed. and you have to raise the question does he deserve a medal of honor on his hunt and saving the lives of others on the mission? >> that was a great interview and he gave us a look on how dangerous it is. it maybe frosty in alaska but look at this peek erupting. >> and bus loads of illegal immigrants being dropped off by the thousands. a congress member said the white house is behind this >> i am a mother with small children and i cannot imagine how tired and scared the women

6:48 am
now the president is asking for $1.4 million to deal the influx. but arizona wants answers. paul is on the committee reform and wants to end the dropoffs. good morning and thank you for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> some of these kids are children crossing the border in texas and being dropped off in maryland and many in arizona. why arizona? >> we are one of the hubs. we have been having the argument in regards to having to uphold the rule of law and this is a way for the administration to poke arizona in the eye. >> you think they are picking a fight with your state? why would that be? >> we are outspoken about the rule being upheld. the attorney general gave poor
6:49 am
advice to the president. >> these can kids and you have to have a certain amount of sympathy dealing with children but why not send them home because the message to mexico now and central america is america has an open door and if you can get there you can stay there. >> absolutely. we should have a policy, we do have a policy that should be upheld by the rule of law but they heard about this amnesty grab that is coming with the senate bill and the president's movement. instead of having an application of the immigration law, we are taking mothers and children and dumping at them bus stops and violating the rule over and over. >> your government wrote i will remind you the day time temperatures in arizona are more than a hundred degrees. and this federal operation places expedancy over basic
6:50 am
human concerns. i don't know what arizona does once they get off the bus and i don't think what you can do to stop this. what is your plan? >> here is the deal. the administration hasn't called governor brewer and told her about this nor or emergency services. that is what is really sad. the inhumane treatment of the people being dumped at the bus stop. it is over a hundred degrees and they are in a strange country and they don't know where to go. they would be better off in their own country. but this is sad. it brings the point we are running out of upholding the rule of law. america deserves justice and we need to start impeachment proceedings for eric holder. it is time for america to get back to justice. >> paul, thank you.

6:59 am
>> big news, the taliban released a propaganda video showing bowe berghdahl being turned over. brand-new hour of "america's newsroom." bill: a surreal scene posted on the taliban website. the sergeant is dressed in
7:00 am
afghan clothing wiping his eyes, blinking several times. u.s. armed forces swooping in and taking sergeant bergdahl exactly one minute later. martha: dramatic scene. we are joined now, steve, good morning to you. we are going to take a look and go through this. obviously this video was released by the taliban. everything in it is how they want this whole thing presented, but let's start to roll this and see, i want your thoughts on this. he is in a pickup truck, blinking. you think about everything that has been said, we didn't have 30 days to get this guy out, he was so six. they were survived he would not survive if they went immediately in. your thoughts on that. >> i am not a doctor.
7:01 am
we're looking a at this from appearances, but he doesn't look that ill. there will be additional scrutiny on those claims the code of the way he appears in this video. like maybe he needs a big sandwich or something but he doesn't look like he is incapable of functioning. he walks from the truck to meet his liberators, he goes to the helicopter. we can expect they will be asked many more questions about the health condition because of the claims they made. martha: there's discussions the americans wanted to have this meeting at a tribal leaders ho home, they said no to that, it would be out in this very open area. there are taliban members with guns all over the mountainside you can see in this video as well. at the end of it they pat him down twice. they check out bowe bergdahl twice to be sure he is not armed with anything, he doesn't have
7:02 am
any bombs on his body out imagine those would be concerns, correct? >> no question in part because if you listen to the concerns by the platoon mates that you conducted a short time ago, there were concerns about whether he was collaborating with the enemy. there were concerns among his platoon mates in the additional precision of the attacks on the people who were searching for sergeant bergdahl. you know in the ar-15 six investigation the army conducted into his disappearance and circumstances surrounding his departure from his platoon mates, they were asking questions. they were right to be that cautious and did not have any kind of suicide bomb on him or anyway to hurt the people who rescued him.
7:03 am
martha: you have to wonder how the white house is going to feel about the release given that the things i cited moments ago about what susan rice said about his medical condition, he will be checked out in germany, they will figure out the condition of his health, maybe psychologically he is in a dire situation. what do you think of the white house reactant the way this thing plays out in this video? >> the white house made the claims his deteriorating health made this urgent, made them not able to provide 30 day notice and talked about the health, not his mental health. when he checked into the retail medical school in germany he was in stable condition. i think the white house is going to look into this. part of a longer video that includes additional footage of
7:04 am
the taliban. i think you can expect the white house to look at this. the united states has video of this exchange, so i think they will be looking at the video we captured on our side. martha: would be interesting to see it from their perspective. thank you very much. bill: growing fallout on the hill expected over lawmakers on the senate intelligence committee. president obama broke the law by failing to consult congress before five detainees were released from gitmo. >> concerns were bipartisan. i strongly believe the law should have been followed and i very much regret that was not the case.
7:05 am
bill: mike emanuel picked up the case. what is the back story you are getting from lawmakers on how this plays out? >> a small group were briefed about the idea of trading five taliban fighters. among the questions to be asked by lawmakers, how can we guarantee the terrorists did not return to the battlefield and in the exhaust all appropriate means to avoid the exchange? john boehner says humanization cap the deal a secret over the weekend because it new congress oppose the deal and they did not find out it was done on till after the fact. we heard from diane feinstein, the top republican on these committees had to be very outspoken saying they should have been consulted, the law should have been followed and they are pretty fired up on capitol hill. bill: what are they saying about
7:06 am
them? >> i have had several people tell me to look at president obama's 2008 pledge to close guantanamo bay. the only way he has a chance of doing that is getting rid of these five guys through a separate deal. top republican on the senate committee telling them the board of directors, the team individuals and high-level positions who had direct ties for intelligence and financial ties to consumption, so there calling for president obama's declassified files on these five guys for the american people know who we gave up. bill: there will be more reaction throughout the day and the stuff that came out that nobody expected. jay carney has been doing a lot of interviews, that doesn't always happen.
7:07 am
a defensive posture for the moment. martha: congress is not happy and a lot of people are not happy knowing more details about how this whole thing was presented. we will talk about how the white house is dealing with that in a moment. celebrate a decisive win and i was republican primary for the open u.s. senate seat. easily defeating her other challengers. winning support for the tea party groups, also stood out because of this rather memorable tv ad. >> i grew up castrating hogs iowa farm. when i get to washington i will know how to cut pork. martha: that sets up what he wanted most interesting and high-profile senate races of this year. live in des moines, iowa, for us this morning.
7:08 am
they may bit of a history last night. >> she is the first female ever nominated from the hawkeye state which has never elected a female governor, senator or member of congress. today she is celebrating end at all the official nominee but also one of the biggest targets the democrats will be looking at. she is a veteran, a mom, a schoolteacher, sunday school teacher and former state senator. and now the nominee. last night she made it very clear she recognizes as a woman another u.s. senate nominee, she will be the democrats target. they have already been coming at her. she addressed it had on trying to take democratic criticism and their liabilities. >> soo certainly will be hearing about the war on women.
7:09 am
i have a message for them. i have been to war. for their political attacks, i look forward to hearing him lecture me about what is best for women. >> so she escaped going the nominations the state convention in a couple of weeks. a big victory. this is one of those they very much hope to take in the fall to be the majority leader and in this case see one of the most-watched ho, it was an exame of one candidate all the different factions of the republican party together. in iowa they are all posting about it. you can find a republican who is competent, experienced government and the full-spectrum
7:10 am
conservative who can win the nomination and beat democrats. martha: thank you very much. bill: we will put that in the pile of everything else we are watching. the white house walking into a buzz saw handling the release. >> this is not a prisoner of war exchange, this is a political move. it is backfiring on the president, no question about it. almost beyond belief administration can leave this dent. bill: former white house chief of staff addresses that next. martha: backlash against the epa guidelines, we even democrats are calling this move a job killer. plus, this.
7:11 am
bill: her and her and maybe her. ames becomes? i thinki'm sold!ers speak for themselves. a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com.
7:12 am
7:13 am
7:14 am
bill: two truck drivers hauling fruits and veggies collide. cargo left scattered across the roadway. it happened after the driver of a big rig rear-ended another tractor-trailer causing his
7:15 am
truck to tip over and burst into flames. the big rig driver killed on the scene. near san diego. the other driver escaped unharmed. martha: so we are now learning at least in part a reason why the white house says they had to move so quickly to retrieve sergeant bergdahl. u.s. officials say they saw a video that has not been released that showed his health deteriorating quickly. bill o'reilly last night told the issue on for how the white house has handled this so far. here he is last night. >> this is not a prisoner of war exchange. this is a political move and it is backfiring on the president, no question about it. what is going on inside the oval office? why are so many mistakes being made? big mistakes. susan rice, it ain't your world.
7:16 am
did bowe bergdahl service country with honor? are you kidding me? on top of the benghazi stuff? is ambassador rice a moron? why would she say that when all the facts point to the opposite, especially when she herself got hammered over the benghazi deception. again, what is wrong with these people? martha: white house chief of staff under president george w. bush. welcome, great to have you here today. >> great to be with you. martha: a wants to play the tape and get your reaction from over the weekend. >> we have reason to be concerned this was an urgent and acute situation, his life could have been at risk. we didn't have 30 days to wait. he served the united states with honor and distinction. martha: emissivity of this morning released of him walking
7:17 am
on his own from the truck over to the chopper with no difficulty in moving. what are we to think about this? >> i thought the comments were outrageous because we even knew the sergeant probably abandoned his post and may have even deserted, so to think he was a noble servant is a stretch, i think. additionally if he didn't have medical problems and they observed him and knew about him, why weren't they calling o the society, the red cross of the muslim world to see if he is okay to make sure he had been okay and see if he was well cared for. due to the president had because additional authority to do what he did. i don't think he was complying with the letter of the law, but
7:18 am
he indicated he was assigned to law with reservation he could meet his constitutional responsibilities. i'm not question the constitutional authority, but i don't think he exercised good judgment, don't think you negotiated a good deal, there were other options if in fact they were worried about the health of sergeant bergdahl. i'm glad he's coming home. martha: that is not the issue here, we want to be clear about that. here is a picture of the family in the rose garden with the president. there were stories floating around about the nature of his disappearance since 2009. his own fellow members of his platoon saying he deserted them, so why would you put the president, why would the administration put him in this position hugging the bergdahl and have him be called somebody who served with honor and distinction.
7:19 am
if you have big? , why not just say we have to talk to this guy, we have big question marks. >> they should have stuck to the truth. he should be held accountable to the actions he practiced while he was over there and the service he gave his country. it was noble, let us honor him. if it wasn't noble, let us find out why. i'm glad he is home but i think there were other options and i think the president's negotiated a bad deal. he gave up way too much. i don't like to see these people who i know are terrorists. i know i knew the names because they were bad people. as soon as i heard those names i thought what are they doing? martha: you have been i in the white house when these decisions are being made, what are they doing and did they have to present him as honorable to
7:20 am
convince the american people it was worth letting these five very dangerous people go, is that part of the equation, do you think? >> i think they were overreaching with the rationale for doing it. overreaching the nature of the deal, and this was something that belongs at the president's feet. the president is the one who exercise his constitutional authority to do this, the president is the one who authorized it. another wasn't consensus or support wha to what he did even inside the administration. clearly he did not comply with the letter of the law or the expectations of the law that had been outlined by the press secretary to consult with congress, so i think there is a lot of flaw in what happened, i do think the president is the president, but this is a thing that he will own. martha: he spoke to somebody who
7:21 am
was there the day it happened in afghanistan, he said he took off, he had to have known all of this was going to come out. >> i would agree with you. i don't understand why they don't just tell the story. they don't have to over tell the story, left the story unfold. sergeant bergdahl would come home, but i am not pleased we have this terrorist released, convinced he will continue to try to do harm to the united states and our interest and our allies around the world. martha: as always, thank you very much. see you next time. >> thank you, martha. bill: he is favored to run the va. he has a prediction about obamacare and why he says it is about to turn the u.s. health care system on its head.
7:22 am
[cheering and applauding] bill: plus a touching moment when its major surprised by her pops at a graduation day. that is cool. >> so happy he is here. better than anything. honestly, the off-season isn't really off for me. i've got a lot to do. that's why i got my surface. it's great for watching game film and drawing up plays. it's got onenote, so i can stay on top of my to-do list, which has been absolutely absurd since the big game. with skype, it's just really easy to stay in touch with the kids i work with. alright, russell you are good to go! alright, fellas. alright, russ. back to work!

bill: the man head of the veterans a mistress with a health care this country. he said obamacare will push the u.s. the same kind of system they have in europe, single-payer? melissa francis and charles payne, both on fox business. how is the show going? >> fantastic. 6:00 p.m. eastern time.
7:26 am
bill: this fellow, the cleveland clinic about as good as it gets for health care anywhere around the world. he said what? >> he said we will have layoffs at the cleveland clinic, getting payback less for obamacare, 75% of all healt health care costs e going to be the ones paying the bill. any time you to business owner, they know the math of what is going to cost for me to cover this person, my self versus what is the penalty for not covering them in every case they know the penalty is cheaper and so that is what they do, they drive these people out of the exchanges and he says that is the plan all along. bill: charles, do you agree with that? >> it is hard to find anyone who is a business person talking without being partisan not agreeing with that.
7:27 am
to have to ask yourself what are the consequences? some of the things they talked about recently was forgetting about quality for efficiency. lowest cost possible kind of stuff. this is what people worry about. maybe something the doctor should be doing. you put all these people and he system, the government already stretch for funds. people are worried and afraid about the quality of health care. bill: that may show what he said with the "wall street journal." every ceo i talked to those how much you would say. insuring his people and paying the federal penalty. the first time some big player does that, it will fall like dominoes. that drives or break the exchanges and will be a faster move toward one pair. he said his forecast is 10 years. >> we are already these things
7:28 am
sooner. you can see the context where talking about, this is somebody who believes to be the front-runner to head the va hospital. looking at people with very long waits to see doctors, not getting the health care they need. think of the idea of your experience at the post office or the dmv or the irs. this type of bureaucracy, we know how this works, this kind of bureaucracy is what is deciding life or death for you and your family, your children, it is terrifying. >> he started the cleveland clinic in 1975 on the 120 doctors, six and a half we and dollars last year. he knows how to bring free market principles. that is what i am concerned about. does he get the job and can he do something about this?
7:29 am
a lot of times end up being pushed back in terms of the things they want to do. i would love to see him get in from his resume and the thing is he about. maybe he can help if he is allowed to. bill: 2:00, 6:00. see you later. martha. martha: surrendering without honor. harsh words from a major u.s. newspaper that is saying this morning president oolated his of honor. bill: why is nasa launching a sci-fi looking space shuttle into space? you want a ride? vo: once upon a time
7:30 am
there was a boy who traveled to a faraway place where villages floated on water and castles were houses dragons lurked giants stood tall and the good queen showed the boy it could all be real avo: whatever you can imagine, all in one place expedia, find yours
7:31 am
7:32 am
7:33 am
martha: now that sergeant bergdahl is back in the hands of the united states, many fellow soldiers are questioning what he was doing when he left his post in the first place. i spoke with bergdahl's squad later that day. >> nobody believes anybody will walk away from a military base especially in the middle of afghanistan so far out onto the front lines, nobody would do that.
7:34 am
however, things he said to me personally, things he said other members of the platoon were not shocking or alarming at the time, however when he walked away, a lightbulb went off, he walked away, i guess it is not that surprising. it wasn't surprising. him seeking out the taliban is a different story. martha: fascinating what he had to say this morning. the pentagon says they're they e looking into the circumstances opening a new review into why he left his base and things that might have happened before. bill: at the time you think who in the world would walk off into the mountains toward the border of pakistan? who would do that? president obama under fire, check out the cover of "the
7:35 am
new york daily news" now accusing president obama of betraying his highest obligation, safeguarding national security. the editorial page describing the release of the taliban prisoners as surrender without honor. it has become even clear he lost his presidential compass in the taliban swath. his rose garden announcement his ringing home in american pow appears to have been a cynical act of fear. alan colmes and katharine ham. both are fox's contributors, good morning to both of you. you don't find this from the daily news often. but there it is in print. they do not hold back. >> no, i think there is a reason for that. there are pretty serious security concerns. let me separate this from bergdahl's actual record.
7:36 am
entitled to a trial the way that works in the military justice system despite evidence against him we see coming up but on the security angle, this isn't just coming from critics, you don't have to take my word for it, the state department has had a concern in writing before about the ability to keep terrorists in place, people we have released from gitmo. many senate democrats say i am excited about this briefing because we did not get it before this and due to the great reporting at ""the daily beast," we have them in 2011, 2012 as was a cabinet member with obama. there are some serious issues that are not political in nature. >> was looking at a piece of information there was a person in the libyan city who was released among the 500 or so release from guantanamo bay
7:37 am
pride george w. bush. he was implicated in the attack in benghazi. you're going to negotiate to release prisoners, all of whom are not boy scouts. i know that some people get upset when i bring up bush versus obama but you have to look at it historically and the fact bush released more than 500 prisoners, some of them into the field of battle. bill: we know that. but i also know you favor closing gitmo. >> yes. bill: president obama wants out so badly he accepted the taliban terms regardless of the threat to american security he is surrendering honor. >> that is an opinion i don't think is grounded in everything we know. bill: on all you want gitmo closed, maybe that is what the white house wants also. in terms of the release, it
7:38 am
bothers people. >> i think it is fine to talk about bush's record on this as well and talk about gitmo detainees. that is part of why you look at this and say these guys were very high ranking and what does this mean? the afghan government not happy to deal with the starting five when they come back eventually. there are arguments on both sides t negotiating the taliban for pow or whoever it is, but if you are going to negotiate as barack obama did, actually negotiate, like a six-year-old going into a used car dealership, can we not get the numbers down a little bit? that leads people to thing is he just trying to clear gitmo? >> we have to get out of gitmo because the war in afghanistan is winding down. legally i am not sure we can keep them there after the war is over.
7:39 am
what will happen to these people, they have to go somewhere, why not use leverage we have, quite astounded by the reaction of this whole thing rather than celebrating the release of an american soldier. bill: it is great he will be reunited with his family. i wish i would've happened before now. i don't know his state of mind, don't know why his family had in gotten to meet with him. i don't know those answers. i don't know what his mental condition is. all that aside, why did he accept the terms of the taliban? ever hear of negotiation? >> who is to say we didn't? who says we automatically accepted their terms which mark we don't know if cap in those negotiations, we were not there. bill: we understand base all the recording we have two years ago this was a deal on the table and a lot of people said take it, a
7:40 am
lot of people said that would be a terrible idea. one of the guys died in captivity because they wanted six guys in exchange for one. they got five. is that more politics? is that it will you lead the country? >> i think it is important we got him back. we will have to release them anyway, when the war winds down. bill: you're okay with this deal? >> absolutely. >> in the end president obama did something celebrating in the rose garden secon second-guessit position. it is not all about politics because the men who served with him have serious questions about this as well. there are a host of people with concerns you cannot write off. bill: thank you. martha: new fallout of the rules to deal with climate change.
7:41 am

7:47 am
president and he wasn't that way when he was a u.s. senator representing illinois. this is what we are dealing with. the reliability, summers white-hot in some areas because people want to have the reliability of this system when they took the heat cooling down, dependable power. the polar vortex we just had if we did not have the reliability, people would die. most of the elderly and the use, the young and the poor. ration if you can afford it or not. the average utility bill across the country has increased more than 30%. some states as high as 40%. bring a tremendous burden on people with fixed incomes. to me that is a huge way to
7:48 am
govern. it should be energy policy, the state of west virginia has been blessed with an awful lot of energy and we have produced energy. they are making much more difficult and costly to do that. martha: tell me about the jobs. is that would you are seeing at home? >> it has been devastating to the job market in west virginia a lot of the energy producing states. when even this administration under these new rules say the economy will go down seven or $8 billion annually, that is an underestimation i believe. the bomb line that will go down dramatically in the states energy producing including west virginia. we will be hit the hardest, no doubt about it. there are 8 billion-ton of coal in the world right now.
