>> exactly. we've got to update you on the situation in afghanistan and the five released into qatar but meanwhile there is more breaking news. >> we've got breaking news that came in overnight. a marine jet crashes into a neighborhood in southern california exploding into a massive fireball and setting three homes on fire. take a look at this. >> the guy is supposed to be in there. >> get out the way, guys! >> oh boy, that happening in southern california. thick clouds of black smoke filling the sky over the town of imperial. >> i look up and it's coming towards me, towards our house. and it backfired again. and two seconds after that it completely nose dived down and that is when i saw a huge explosion. >> that paoeuplt -- pilot managed to parachute out of that harrier jet. this happens right before the crash.

horrified residents saw him land on the pavement. you can see them here, they're trying to help him. the good news is that he is doing okay this morning and miraculously no one on the ground was hurt. pilots say or officials say the pilot who was based out of yuma air station in arizona was having problems and was scheduled for an emergency landing right before that crash. there is a massive manhunt that is currently underway for a gunman who is dressed in camo and who shot three canadian officers dead. the officers were responding to a call about an armed man in the province of new brunswick. two other officers were wounded in this and are currently in stable condition. police are looking for this guy. 24 years old. he is carrying two high-powered rifles, a crossbow and also a knife. at this hour overseas, leaders of the new g-7 summit are meeting in brussels. missing from the picture,

by some. let's get the facts straight. he said we don't do that in the united states. he said bergdahl's family is going to be taken care of with his fell bills. >> let's talk about what happened at the briefing yesterday to the senate. one of the things was they sent people from the state department, the pentagon as well as intelligence agencies to talk about the deteriorating health of bowe bergdahl. who wouldn't think it wouldn't get worse as you're in captivity for five years. they showed a one and a half minute video provided by the taliban that showed him in a situation that made him look back according to senator mark kirk, who is a republican out of illinois, and senator dick durbin, who is also out of illinois as a senator. but for everybody else, it doesn't seem like they were convinced by the presentation. >> the frustration is that the intelligence committee and community there was bypassed to make this swap, which may have severe and serious consequences in terms of our national security. so senators see this video -- >> which is not this video.

>> they said had a video there and here, they're not matching up in their eyes. and what they were told is now leading them to feel offensive mistrust. take a listen. >> it appeared that he was drugged and that he was barely responsive in the video itself. it was not a very long video. you can't conclude a whole lot from it. i don't think from a health standpoint there was any issue that dictated the release of these five killers in exchange for bergdahl. >> that did not help me at all. five months ago, at that time he was impaired. >> others said he did look impaired. >> i'm more disturbed now before i went in about some of the logic. there is apparently a theory that if we release these five taliban that it would enhance the chance of

peace in afghanistan. that by releasing these prisoners that somehow it would empower that part of the taliban that want to reconcile. i find that whole concept disturbing. >> so the white house sent these people to this secret meeting up on capitol hill to explain why they jumped the gun and they didn't brief the senators. a lot of senators left there saying, look, the guy was fine. he looked fine to us. so far the strategy for the white house, they thought, okay, there's going to be euphoria when we get this guy out. that didn't work. the video didn't work. now behind the scenes there is a new plan. blame the republicans. they don't like this because president obama did it. if you look in the past, some things republicans have said, a lot of people didn't realize he had been accused as a deserter. harry reid took that tact

yesterday. >> president obama seized upon the release of an american prisoner of war -- that's what he was -- using what should be a moment of unity and celebration for our nation than a chance to play political games. the safe return of an american soldier should not be used for political points. when a man or woman puts on the uniform as a united states serviceman, they have america's uncompromising support. >> i just don't think there's a whole lot of democrats lining up behind him. he seems to be a voice in the wilderness. i heard dick durbin come out yesterday. i see senator manchin, a democrat on the other side, say you've got to be kidding me. there are so many elements to it. i agree with general mcchrystal who said let's wait, find out more information, let's hear from him. the bottom line is we don't leave anybody behind. but who we got, the deal that was cut, the deal on the table as opposed to the one that was actually cut, that's the thing that

compromises our security. that's the thing that's got afghanistan ter ride right now. -- terrified right now. do you see reports from afghanistan that are many these guys. they killed thousands of people. >> they're absolutely terrified as should many be because this is the fab5 when it comes to the taliban. to aim at the republicans here is disconcerting because you have, you have a situation here which is not safe. all americans want americans home; right? they don't want a bad deal. they don't want five freed who have intended to and will most likely intend to harm our own. and talk about the support, where's the support? >> the last thing harry reid said in that sound bite is america's servicemen have america's uncompromising support. mr. reid, where's the support for that marine in mexico? what about the support for the v.a. victims? what about the the benghazi victims? it looks like the white house and it looks like democrats, some of them in

the senate and elsewhere, are playing politics. it turns out the president right now is considering releasing another gitmo guy, and this on the heels of the fact that apparently there was a ransom strategy up until about six months ago where we would simply have paid money to get him out but then that caved when it was realized, wait a minute, the administration doesn't want that. they want a prisoner swap, and that's what we got. >> he's looking to empty gitmo. this next guy evidently would go back to kuwait, have to stay in kuwait for a year and promise not to go back to terror. do you feel good about that deal on the table? >> the ransom deal you are alluding to was pursued december 2013 but the hurry up offense to make the trade for the fab5 here, the taliban has taken place, and will take consequential results. we're going to see something scary down the road. and those that support it early on perhaps in the form of a money trade certainly are not getting behind the trade.

>> we know the president has a big announcement in the rose garden. we know obviously they misjudged the support they would get for that announcement and. now his hometown over in idaho says we're finding out a lot of things for the first time. we're getting a lot of mail into our town. we are going to put our hometown parade on hold for now. >> it sounds like they're getting about 100 e-mails a day and they say both pro and con but what they're worried about is so many people may show up either to support or to protest bowe bergdahl on what was going to be the second anniversary of the free bowe celebration in that town. so many people might show up, they didn't have the infrastructure to police it. so they said you know what? we're not going to have it. >> when you see this poll here, when you ask americans how they feel, 57% of those in a recent fox news poll that are concerned that talks with terrorists will lead to more u.s. soldier hostages,

that this right here perhaps is an example of a new bounty on the head of our own. >> 57% say they're very concerned. 27% say somewhat. not very 7%. and not at all 8%. >> either very or somewhat, 84% of americans are worried about what we just did. not good. it is a rainy day in new york city. we've got three hours and plenty of stuff to talk about. >> coming up, ronald reagan was no nonsense when it came to foreign policy. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> on the tenth anniversary of his death, we're taking a look back at our 40th's president's life and legacy with a man who worked closely with him for years. >> should a baker be forced to bake a came for a same-sex wedding even though it is against the baker's beliefs? the answer is yes. the baker at the center of the contro

colorado is cracking down on religious freedom by forcing a christian cake shop owner to bake for same-sex weddings but he and his staff must also undergo sensitivity training and submit quarterly reports on their compliance. does owning a business mean you put your religion on the back burner? the requirements from the colorado court seem pretty lofty here. what are they, nicole, if you can go through them for us? >> the colorado court has decided that jack must give up his religious beliefs. he must cease and desist and create wedding cakes for same-sex couples despite his deeply held religious convictions. he must report on a quarterly basis for two years whether he has turned any business away for any reason, and the reasons for

doing that. so if his shop is closed or he's out of flour, he needs to report to the commission. he also must disclose -- oh, he must have training and prove that he is sufficiently trained his employees and his staff, his 87-year-old mother, that they can now comply with the colorado antidiscrimination act. >> jack, you've been in this business for over 40 years now. we just heard your mom is 87 years old. what does she think about the sensitivity training and this new policy? >> well, it's not going to have any effect on her. she's not going to be reformed. she's right behind us all the way. >> have you been making wedding cakes in the meantime? >> the orders that we have taken early in the year and last year that were, that there were contractors for

>> what works for one person doesn't work for another. some people can do it all naturally, like with a butter bur and others. but for others, they need an antihistamine a day, like zirtek , like a claritin. some of my patients tell me it makes them tired. they can only take it at the end of the day. they can't use it at all. some people need steroid nasal spray. i start it in advance of the season allergy. if you start before the allergy season starts -- >> we'll have strong noses? >> exactly. and it decreases the inflammation. but over time, you can get almost addict to do it, where it thins your secretions too much. this year i got exciting new news. instead of allergy shots, which some people hate needles. some people say it's too costly, we've got pills. for the very first time, you can put them under your tongue. you got to get it in advance of allergy season, so for most of you out there, it will be next year. ask your allergist next year, hey, can i have a pill to put under my tongue?

family. >> chuck hagel seems to be in the dark. he seems to be playing coy or clueless, i'm not sure. but he accepted the offer, the request from the house to come and brief them on what happened. meanwhile, i'm very curious and we all would have loved to have been in on the inside of briefing that took place last night as the entire senate was there to be briefed by officials in the obama administration. officials from the state department, pentagon, as well as intel agencies who many people say the intel agencies were cut out of this entire deal, which is unthinkable in my mind. one of the things they did was showed a 1 1/2 minute video provided by the taliban to show bergdahl was alive, but his health was deteriorated. >> it's a proof of life video. but they didn't match up. so what they saw in that video didn't seem to link to the dire condition that was presented originally in order to speed up the release here in the trade for five taliban heads here. so they get out of this

classified briefing and this is what some of the senators say. this is a bipartisan reaction here. >> it appeared that he was drugged and that he was barely responsive in the video itself. it was not a very long video. you can't conclude a whole lot from it, i don't think, from a health standpoint there was any issue that dictated the release of these five nasty killers in exchange for bergdahl. >> the proof of life was five months ago, december, at that time he was impaired. other members said he did look sick. >> didn't look sick team. >> i'm more disturbed now about some of the logic. there is apparently a theory that if we release these five taliban, that it would enhance the chance of peace in afghanistan, that by releasing

these prisoners that somehow it would empower that part of the taliban that want to reconcile. i find that whole concept disturbing. >> okay. so another plan by the white house has imploded. they sent the briefers to capitol hill with the secret meeting so that they could show the 90-second video that has not been seen by the public. that's different than the video in the pick up truck we're showing because remember the white house said we had to release him without notifying congress 30 days in advance because of his health. now what they're saying is -- this is interesting spin that the white house is coming out with today -- the concerns, while he is not in good shape, according to the medical looking at him in germany, the concerns were not with his health. instead the concerns were that his captors were about to kill him, which is curious given the fact that they had held him for five years. it's also curious in the video in the beginning, he and the taliban guys appear to be laughing. i'm sure the white house will continue to spin.

speaking of spinning, hillary clinton now says clearly that she is very, very wary of this prisoner swap. but that is completely different than what she said on monday. she was out in colorado giving a speech and she defended the president's five for one springing of the bad guys. she said bergdahl's release was justified because we have a tradition of not leaving soldiers in captivity. she said that then. now she says she's very wary of the prisoner swap. it sounds like she's got a book to sell or sounds like she's running for president. >> and susan rice said he served with honor and distinction. that didn't come off too good because almost immediate low after that, it became pretty clear that most evidence points to, including people serving with him, that he left his unit on his own. and many people who went to find him ended up dead. are they going to be able to spin their way out? >> sergeant bergdahl wasn't just

a hostage, he was an american prisoner of war. wasn't unknown to congress. we also had indication that he was growing more fragile. he's said to be walking and in good physical condition. >> rice went on to say and told fox news now to clarify, rice meant that we should not forget that bergdahl was serving his country in general. here is the question, and i'll go back and answer this on facebook: as you see hillary as well as susan rice try to spin their way out of it, will they be successful and rewriting what they said earlier in the week later in the week? will this spin work? hey, like it or not, it has worked in the past. >> serving with honor and distinction as susan rice mentioned before, the administration official actually got in there and sort of painted over the accolades and honor that she was awarding to bergdahl verbally, was really taken to heart and in a hard way by those who served next to him, lost their lives searching for him.

their families and those who risked their lives to put into captivity the five that now are released. >> yeah. there are some who say he did not earn distinction. he spit in the face of those who were trying to find him and in the face of all of america by deserting. more on this later on. meanwhile, it's commencement speech time and let's take you to lebanon, missouri, where the high school principal, kevin lowry, there he is right there. you know, the pc police make it impossible to use the name god in public setting. yet he did just that and he has received over 100,000 views on the internet and a lot of fans around the world. here is a snippet of his speech. >> i would not be politically correct, i would like for to us have a moment of silence in honor of tonight's students. thank you.

just in case you're interested, i gave thanks to god for these great students, their parents, their teachers, and for this community. >> i love the fact that he said, in a secular society, it would be inappropriate to mention god and then he did. he reflected on how god is a part of the fabric of america. >> in case you were wondering -- >> this is what i was praying for. >> covering our religious freedom imbedded in there. sad that it has to be so crafty to be free about how you feel in your faith. but well done by him. >> that's right. american atheists find his speech extremely objectionable. i don't think he cares. >> 12 minutes after the hour. coming up, we were just learning another gitmo prisoner could go free. really? the man who led the case against the blind sheik is about to

the worst of the taliban war council. they are now in qatar. is this sending the wrong message to our enemy as soon as don't you think? former federal prosecutor andrew mccarthy led the case in 1993 with the world trade center. remember the blind sheik? he put him behind bars and he joins us right now. first off, congratulations on your book "faithless execution." this all plays into this book theme. first off, what is the theory, do you believe, behind the release of these five terrible guys for bergdahl? >> i think a couple of things. but for our immediate purposes, i think former attorney general mukasey has a terrific bit in the "washington post" where he talks about the fact that they have wanted the obama administration since the second day the president took power to close gitmo. and once you release the worst of the worst, it becomes very difficult to argue that anybody else should still be held there. so i think this goes along the

lines of their overall scheme, which they've been working out for a number of years to try to close this place down. >> some say washington, lincoln, they all let go prisoners at the ends of the war. the problem is, that's after we win the war, you let out the prisoners. we're replenishing the enemy. >> at a time when the enemy is still in the field conducting offensive terrorist operations against our people, which is really a shocking dereliction of duty. all this business about we don't leave people behind, who is leaving? we're going to be there for another two years. al-qaeda is not leaving. the haqqani are not leaving. the taliban are not leaving. there is a bunch of nonsense talking about how we have to make all these accommodations because we don't leave people behind. >> the intel agencies might have been bypassed in this. we know there has been protests by people within the obama administration. you look at the make-up of the brain trust right now serving in the white house, what have you concluded? >> look, the administration has always been, in terms of the policy making on counterterrorism, staffed by people who during the bush

years, especially the lawyers in the administration, volunteered their services to the enemy precisely to do things like try to close down gitmo and get the jihaddists there free. those are the people who are now making counterterrorism policy. it's not surprising, now that the president doesn't have any more elections to worry about, that they're make policy that's geared toward the objectives they've always had. >> real quick, is there anything we can do now to stop the drip, drip on the 130 left in gitmo. we have to sit there and watch that? >> congress can cut the money. congress can enact a law today that says that no more transfers out of gitmo. we will not fund them. >> all right. the book really covers the topics in the newspapers today. thanks so much. >> thanks. 19 minutes after the hour. the story is unbelievable. a dna breakthrough saved a boy's life in 48 hours. it's like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the good news is it's all true. then should interns get paid? the court keeps ruling yes.

being awarded the purple heart. dad was wound on iwo jima during world war ii. wonderful. as i just mentioned, tomorrow is d-day, and veterans from the second world war will join world leaders, including president obama, putin, and the queen in the 70th anniversary of the normandy landings. why is this day so still important to those serving our military and americans in general? joining us is the supreme allied commander in europe, general philip breedlove, also the commander of the u.s. european command. good morning to you, general. >> good morning. how are you today? >> doing okay. you're there in normandy. for americans and for people all over the world that, is hallowed ground because of what happened starting 70 years ago tomorrow, isn't it? >> it is. it's quite incredible. if you think about the human capital that was invested here

70 years ago today to change the face of our history, it's quite amazing. >> we actually have a number of children watching right now. they may have not gotten to d.-day in their history yet. tell us what happened that day. >> well, i'll do that. but you bring up children. let me tell you a little bit about the children here in france and belgium and other places. just yesterday we got to march into the city, like our soldiers marched in after they came aboard at d-day. and the sacrifices of our soldiers there are remembered every year in two ways. first, the children here come to bring flowers to put at the memorial and at the graves of our american dead, waving american flags. and then also recently a group of children from the high school here went back to america to

deliver poems and letters about what america did for themd what it meant for changing their history and their lives forever. one of the young ladies read a poem in both her native language of french and american that she delivered actually to children back in america, talking about the price of freedom and the bravery of our american soldiers, sailors and airmen. it's really quite demonstrative. it tells that story of incredible sacrifice that we witnessed on that day. >> the sacrifice was the price of american and allied lives. on that day starting 70 years ago to tomorrow, 9,000 allied soldiers lost their lives. >> and each individual one of them is a story and they are amazing stories and remembered here in the names of the streets, in the way that the people dress and reenact, in the

way that they treat the graves of our dead here. they remember names. this morning we heard the story of a fighter pilot that was considered a hero of the town by the way he fought and died over the town. and two c-47 goonie birds and their crews that were shot down by the enemy's anti-aircraft fire. and the crew of the aircraft and those brave paratroopers in the back that lost their life there. they are remembered every single year by name in these ceremonies. >> that's terrific. of course, with the invasion that started 70 years ago tomorrow, there were 160,000 allied service personnel involved. this is the line of work that you have dedicated your life to, general. what does world war ii, and particularly d-day, mean to you? >> well, it means a lot of things to me. my father was in the navy and served off of the coast here

that day and delivered naval gun fire support. so it's very personal to a lot of families. it's very personal to a lot of veterans that were here across the last two days. we've met some incredible veterans who are still -- one marched us and he kept the cadence of the soldiers in front of him. the human stories are just amazing. but this day, this endeavor changed the face of history for good. what has come out of that is now some of our former enemies are our most important and best allies as we address the challenges of today's world. >> wonderful words. general, we thank you very much for joining us today from normandy on the anniversary tomorrow of the d-day tomorrow. and on a personal note, please thank your wife, who i understand you're a big fan of "fox & friends," but your wife is the number one viewer who watches every day wherever she's

at. >> there is no better fan than cindy breedlove, that's correct. >> terrific, give her our best thank you very much. >> thank you. >> very nice. dozen minutes before the top of the hour. she's one of the top christian artists in the country. ♪ ♪ >> now natalie grant is taking on a new role, helping people find love. elisabeth, you don't need love. you got somebody at home. but she'll have other people. ♪ ♪ is ready, ya know what salesman alan ames becomes? i think the numbers speak for themselves. i'm sold! a "selling machine!" ready for you alert, only at lq.com.

engagement at the end. this isn't like that. i think even when you take that pressure off, it's people saying oh, i can be myself and this is somebody who shares my same faith and values and we get to know each other a little bit better and it shows how the local church will rally around each other in the various stages of life. i think for singles who often feel a little bit on the outside and left out, it's encouraging. it's very hopeful. >> natalie, many times we've done stories about match makers and one of the pieces of advice they always have is a good place to find a reliable person would be church. >> exactly. >> you think, well what if i don't go to church? >> well, maybe you should. maybe the show is going to tell you maybe you should. everybody needs a little faith in their life. >> i think there is one thing much more relevant and more prevalent in the 50s and '60s, everyone used to hang out in the church. >> exactly. >> there were church things going on every friday and saturday night. it would be the clubs of today. >> and there was so much community.

served with that man right there, bowe bergdahl seen in that taliban propaganda video, chuck hagel heard them say look, he was a deserter. there is a real good chance he was collaborating with the enemy. hagel defends him and says there shouldn't be a rush to judgment. let's get the facts. we don't do this kind of thing in the united states. he has assured the family, the bergdahl family that his medical bills will be covered by the military. what's interesting is this video came out yesterday and it shows a relatively robust and it looks like certainly not a guy who is about to drop dead as we were told and that's the reason they had to justify not notifying congress. in that video that came out yesterday, he looked okay. but apparently yesterday behind closed doors they had a secret white house meeting with senators where they showed the proof of life video that they said proved that he was in bad shape. here is the problem for the white house, though. it did not prove he was in bad shape and, in fact, a lot of people on both sides of the aisle said he looked okay.

watch. >> it appeared that he was drugged and that he was barely responsive in the video itself. it was not a very long video. you can't conclude a whole lot from it. i don't think from a health standpoint there was any issue that dictated the release of these five nasty killers in exchange for bergdahl. >> the proof of life was in december, at that time he was impaired. >> others said he did look sick. >> he didn't look sick to me. >> i'm more disturbed about some of the logic. there was apparently a theory that if we released these five taliban, that it would enhance the chance of peace in afghanistan, that by releasing these prisoners that somehow it would empower that part of the taliban that want to reconcile.

i find that whole concept disturbing. >> right. they do chronicle in the "washington post" some of the process that they've been through over the last four years since 2011 to try to get him back. in the beginning they were talking about one for one swap and talking with moderate forces, if there is such a thing as a moderate taliban member. then that quickly went out. they went ahead with this plan because it seems that the president wants to empty gitmo and this is a good way to do it. we do get some reporting now from our sources, jennifer griffin, saying according to her sources, that he is having some difficulty with his health. there is some deterioration in terms of mental cognizance that they're worried about that they did see on the video. it doesn't mean they didn't have 30 days to tell congress, we're thinking about doing this deal. can i get your support? >> concern there over the procedure. concern there over whether or not this could be a bad deal. despite numerous accounts by those that went out and searched for bergdahl, those who lost

their lives placing the five that were released behind bars at guantanamo bay, those that have sacrificed to keep this nation safe, voicing their concern over this swap here. harry reid has sort of a back door approach here, underground message that's being sent out saying look, there is no monday morning quarterbacking when it comes to how this was done and what was done and who was traded. your voices don't count here. don't politicize it, is what he says. >> opponents of president obama have seized upon the release of an american prisoner of war, that's what he was, using what should be a moment of unity and celebration for our nation and a chance to play political games. safe return of an american soldier should not be used for political points. when a man or woman puts on the uniform as a united states serviceman, they have america's uncompromising support. >> really, harry reid? where is the uncompromising support for that marine who is

sitting right now in a mexican prison? what about the uncompromising support for the v.a. victims or benghazi victims? a lot of people are wondering. it does look like somebody is playing politics and it appears to be the white house because they did ignore a ransom option where up until the end of last year they were talking about we'll pay a bunch of dough, but then those talks stopped because as it turns out, they felt that the white house was pushing for let's go ahead and let's have a hostage swap. >> one thing i don't understand, the haqqani network, the worst of the worst, why would they care about the taliban? >> they want money. >> right. the haqqani network kills you or gets ransom money. >> right. >> they don't care about this group over here. so it makes you wonder, did we give up guys and money? brad thor, a successful author who has these great connections with defense and intelligence to write these very true novels,

graphic novels that have true operations, methods and practices, says this doesn't make any sense. why would the haqqani network get involved unless there was something in it for them? >> jennifer griffin sent an e-mail about what we now know, apparently no money changed hands to get this guy. what's interesting is so harry reid is trying to smear the people who are speaking out against bergdahl. i actually talked to one of the team leaders who was on a rescue mission last night on the telephone and he told me something that i had not heard thus far. and that was in instructing his team, okay, we're going to go out, if we find bergdahl, be ready to shoot him. and the reason was, they were so positive he was working for the taliban or flipped to the other side, they thought he would try to kill the americans, or he was wearing a bomb vest. so the idea was as soon as they could, they would cuff him, hood him and drag him out of there. but first impression was they were going to shoot bergdahl 'cause they couldn't trust him. and for people to say, you know,

maybe he's not a deserter, we don't know. we weren't there. but for the people who were there, they have been emphatic in talking to us where they felt he was a deserter and that's why the white house is having to try to spin their way out of this big fat hole they're in. >> harry reid trying to bully those who are coming out voicing concerns about what the intent was behind his initial departure leaving post at will and then potential ties there. >> it's hard to -- as we move ahead, 50 minutes of the show left. >> coming up, buyers and sellers, beware. the rules for short sales on real estate are changing and lenders are putting their interest ahead of yours. what you need to know to protect yourself with that guy right there from las vegas, bob massi. you think it only happened in hitchcock movies? people running down streets to avoid attack of angry birds. it's true. those birds were not republicans

short sale by definition means you owe a certain amount of money. the value is less than that. a buyer comes in and is willing to pay the present value and the lenders have to accept it. because of the fact that the inventory is so limited now in ground zero las vegas, florida, michigan, the places affected, the lenders are making it more difficult for the homeowners to do a short sale. what i want our viewers to understand is how the real estate market changed, there are still people in this country that are suffering with defaults and foreclosures and loan modifications and lack of short sale aggressiveness where lenders are accepting and it's still impacting the economy in our country. >> so in terms of specifics here, a lot of changes. also can you make a link between taxes and now what's going to happen here for those who engage in short sale? >> here is the deal, whenever you're going to sell your home on a short sale, the lender does what's called a bpoa broker's

price opinion, fancy word for saying appraisal. let's say your home is worth 300,000. in the old days it used to be that a buyer would come in and they basically make a bid on the present value. that's changed. because there is limited inventory, elisabeth, they start a bidding war. in other words, there is buyers out there that are willing to pay more than what the present value is because of the lack of inventory. so what's happening is in some occasions, number one, there is less short sales than ever before. and number two, homeowners are losing buyers because of this bidding war and it's become more complicated. what's the consequence? homeowners are still stuck with their home. foreclosures could still take place. and as a result, we still have this shadow inventory out there, as i call it. homes that are in foreclosure. homes that are still may be short sold. homes in default and people are in a tough position where they can not move their home forward.

on the tax side of it, the mortgage debt relief act that was in existence years ago where if you had a primary residence and you sole it on a short sale and the lender forgave the debt, you wouldn't have any tax liability. that was not extended by congress last year. so now if you do sell it and there is a waiver of that deficiency of what you owed, you have an ordinary income tax liability and that also congress should be ashamed of. it's still paralyzing the real estate market. >> hitting everybody right in their backyard. bob massi, thank you for that info and some tips for those in this situation. if you want to answer any questions, we're going to have people e-mail you as always. e-mail bob your questions. look for the rebuilding dream section at the bottom of our page. bob massi, always great to have you here. steve and brian, standing by on the curvy couch. >> thank you. >> how does she know everything? >> it's written down in the teleprompter. >> thanks for break the illusion wherever you are, elisabeth. do you know the secret to make the perfect cup of coffee?

all this week we've been sharing stories from soldiers who served alongside of bowe bergdahl. >> the sentiment that everybody knew was that he walked off the

base in the middle of the night, left all of his gear there. >> i do believe he deserted without a doubt. >> he left his men during a war and so that is even more critical. >> i think that he should be tried as a deserter and court-martialed. >> these people knew him best. they worked with him. but now the white house and media are calling into question their accounts. peter johnson, jr. joins us live. peter, they're sliming the people who served as well. >> what they're saying is that these folks are swift boating sergeant bergdahl, meaning casting false aspersions, making up stories about him. i would say that the true story is that america has been riced. you know what that means, steve? rice is a verb. to rice. to rice means to create a false narrative. that's what the white house and susan rice have done for the last week with regard to sergeant bergdahl. what they also did, and that's

the story that's really going to come out -- is they used the bergdahl family for their own crass political motives. the president and the white house know that their popularity is in the dumper. so if they can embrace what they try to sell as a hero, if they can embrace a grieving family, then they're going to pop their numbers five, six points. maybe have a new bin laden moment as it were. >> sure. i think you're exactly right. i think that what they were trying to do with the bergdahl family was the white house and the people who knew his story knew that there were problems with it. knew that he had been accused of being a deserter and collaborator as well. so they bring the family out and the family has worked for five years. and you can understand why the family would work to get their boy back. but that has not worked because suddenly, it's been revealed this guy, according to the people who worked with him, was a deserter. >> the problem is that so many people have been caught in friendly fire, have been caught in the cross fire of the white house's political ambition in an

election year. so everyone is getting thrown under the bus. i don't know what happened to sergeant bergdahl. we'll find out. if he did something wrong, he's going to be charged. all soldiers should be brought home. it's how we do it, though. >> absolutely. got to be an investigation. glad you've been keeping on it. by the way, peter, today is throwback thursday and you've got a picture. >> absolutely. my father, peter james johnson passed away in 2012. he was wounded at iwo jima. he brought his last platoon there from camp lejeune. unfortunately, too many died, too many wounded. there he was holding the rifle. god bless him. god bless america and we salute the people on d-day tomorrow. >> we do indeed. a wonderful man, a great lawyer and a good friend. >> and he loved you. >> he was a great guy. thank you. up next, the pressure is on. nascar's matt kensing see if we can fix a tire like the pros. first let's check in with bill hemmer who would call triple a.
