>> i have gear. the crew got me outfitted and ready to go. >> tomorrow, daltrey joins us live. we hope it won't be raining. >> we'll see how to do it right in the after the show show. bill: we have a texas *. a marine harrier jet crashing into a home in southern california. it happened in imperial, california near the border with mexico. witnesses say they could feel the ground shake beneath their feet. >> it was nose side down. it felt like an earthquake hit. it was pretty up tense. bill: a live report from the scene on that. stay tuned. in the meantime, there are

serious stories now about bowe bergdahl and whether he was actively collaborating with the taliban. james rosen reporting this exclusively. i want to say welcome to everybody at home. martha: lots moving on this story this morning as there is increased scrutiny over the whole decision to bring bowe bergdahl home in the manner what he was brought home. bill: some of our fox polling overwhelmingly the majority of americans bleach, are you concerned the talks with terrorists will lead to more soldiers being held hostage. you are at 87%. that's overwhelming. that poll tells you what about how americans are reacting in

the early days of this. >> it shows you how completely the white house miscalculated the public reaction to this. for mayor kaints's obvious trading these taliban commanders for bowe bergdahl could increase the danger to americans in places like afghanistan. a taliban commander told "time" magazine the same thing this morning, that the bergdahl case shows them how much they can get from capturing a high value american target. it shows you the white thousands completely misread public opinion on this. bill: if it shows there was collaboration what happens? >> it takes those poll numbers and shoots them upwards. the white house expected

controversy over the swapping of the five taliban commanders. they expected there would be some controversy over not notifying congress. but they have been surprised over bergdahl himself and the circumstances around bergdahl's disappearance. the white house interpreted the controversy as hatred for the president. they are look at it politically rather tharnt substance of the concerns that not only that bergdahl was a deserter and he might have collaborated with the enemy. bill: "wall street journal" he drove fear into the people of afghanistan going through the central part of the country and taking down a town. now they are worried he will do the same thing began. you talk about the plan, the

defense of the white house answer how they were caught to guard. >> they were caught after guard because of the nature of bergdahl's disappearance. they were also caught off guard because a number of bergdahl's former army colleagues told their story. they believe he is a deserter. they have first-hand knowledge. the army had them sign non-disclosure agreements, they had to sign secrecy. they are so concerned about they see as the bergdahl as hero narrative they decided to throw those adpreements out the window and talk about this. i think all of this has been a big surprise for the white house. bill: byron york leading our coverage. good to have you back with us today. martha: sergeant bergdahl's hometown canceled their welcome home bowe ceremony.

more years, haley, idaho was the center for getting one of their own back home. the city received a flood of letters demanding they do the right thing and cancel it. what a turnaround this has been in haley idaho. the city said the organizers expect a significant number in attendance for people in support or protest against it. in the interest of public safety we are going to cancel it. haley is a town of 8,000 and does not have the support an event of this size could become. according to senator behind say graham the very premise of the

deal makes no sense. >> i'm more disturbed than i was before about the logic. there is a theory if we we lease these five taliban it would enhance the chance of peace in afghanistan. by releasing these prisoners, that somehow it would empower that part of the taliban that want to reconcile. i find that concept disturbing. martha: peter doocy is live in washington. >> reporter: one democratic senator joe manchin says the proof of life video didn't' convince them at all. he says now he's got more questions than answers. we are learning more about that clip shown at a classified

brieflings. it contained references to nelson mandela's death. and bergdahl was speak in a subdued voice. >> it appeared he was drugged. and he was not very responsive. you can't conclude a lot from it from the standpoint of any serious health issues. >> reporter: another senator kelly ayotte wants this video made public. martha: what do we know about the rest of this story developing that there is possibly another terrorist who may be leaving guantanamo bay? >> reporter: there is another terrorist locked up for 12 years for allegedly training

terrorists. he is released he would be subject to similar positions even though some law makers are convinced those five might fight again. >> everybody is concerned about that. we are hoping one year in qatar we can hopefully trust them than is monitoring there. these are all high-level people. these are people that basically have the ability to go back and hit the ground running. >> reporter: the briefers were asked if 50s released would try to kill americans again, the briefer's answer, they don't know. bill: a bit of a warning from republican law makers not to release more detainees without congressional approval. that's the law, by the way. they are supposed to be told one month in advance. was the law broken in this case?

we'll talk about roberto gonzalez on that. march already the white house was apparently taken aback by the response to all this. now we have a fox news alert for you as three police officers are killed in the line of duty, two hurt after a man opened fire in eastern canada's new brunswick province. several neighborhood in the city of moncton were put on lockdown. >> we are actively looking for the shooter. we are urging the people who live in that area to stay inside and lock their doors. >> we came outside and my daughter said there are police in the area. there was a lockdown on the street, they were turning vehicles around.

martha: the suspect is identified as justin bourque. bill: this military jet slamming into homes in california. the latest from a live report near the scene. martha: general motors releasing its findings on the faulty ignition switches. why they say the executives should be let off the hook on this one. bill: bowe bergdahl facing allegations. his family says the way the administration is portraying him is shameful. >> it's a slap in the face to anybody to joint the army, deployed and returned home or deployed and died in combat.

that man also rescued. bill: the white house trying to explain its decision to release five top terrorists. now another detainee may be on the road to freedom, but republican senator behind i graham is warning the -- the republican snoshed lindsey graham warns the president there will be those calling for his impeachment if he does that. alberto gonzales, the former attorney general is with us. is the ambition to close gitmo. is that ambition dead? >> i don't think it's dead. the president is on record that he wants to. i think it was a mistake the first place for the president to

say i'm going to close guantanamo. i think he wants the see it closed and i'm afraid that may be part of the motivation for t. bill: does this make it more difficult to do this in the next 2, 2 1/2 years? you change u.s. policy toward detainees. and you get away from gitmo and put them in courtrooms in lower manhattan. what's your view on that? >> i think that's a possibility. my view has been we need to give the commander-in-chief as many options as possible to deal with terrorists. that may be to subject them to military commissions or put them into our criminal justice system. i think it's important for the commander in chief to have all options possible. bill: now we wonder about the law and the 30-day notice that

apparently did not go to any member of congress. >> what's emerging is an imperial presidency. an uber presidency where the president can act unilaterally. this is only the latest example of that. bill: i don't think you disagree with that. >> i try to look at this thing in a fair and objective way in which the critics of president george w. bush never did. as to whether the law is unconstitutional that's a gray area. let's assume the president had the authority to do this. there is a legitimate question whether this was a good deal for the united states. i have a great deal of concern about the people we hold in guantanamo bay. we hold them there for a reason. and we release them with assurances they are not going come back and fight against the

united states. bill: why do you think he did it? what's your calculation on that? >> i don't know the president. you have to know the president personally. how they make decisions, what's important to them and what motivates them. this was his objective early on in his administration. i think he miscalculated the reaction to the way he did it. the reaction from congress and the american people. i think he miscalculated the reaction from bergdahl's former come rads in the field. bill: what do you think about the theory that ultimately he wants to change american policy as it pertains to detainees. get them out of the gitmo and close the things down and hold neferg the future in an american courtroom. >> i believe military commissions exist for a reason. they are helpful and bring people to justice.

they are consistent with the rule of law. they allow us to bring people to justice without the risk to a civic population like in new york city would present. i think that's a viable option for the united states in bringing terrorists to justice. i disagree with the president to take this option off the table. bill: if you signed the law two years ago, whatever the time frame was, 2 1/2 years ago that required you to notify congress 30 days before anyone leaves gitmo. why do you b you bypass that. you knew the law was on the books. why do you make that move? >> the president did issue a signed statement. i think they thought notifying

congress would hinder the ability of the commander-in-chief to handle someone captured on the battlefield. i think he knew this was a possibility and obviously you want to sign a bill because it includes very important provisions. you don't want to veto it. but you inform the congress. you inform the public that -- bill: but as we know, that did not happen here. final question. is that because you are afraid congress is going come back and say you can't do this deal? >> clearly the 30-day notice is to allow congress to provide input. but remember the statute does not require congress to approve of the transfer. it requires congress be notified. so congress -- it's possible after notification congress

could generate public opposition. congress would try to pass a bill to prevent transfer. this merely requires notice to congress. bill: the former attorney general alberto gonzalez. martha: 2 million people who signed up for obamacare may not have received coverage. wait until you hear what's going on there. bill: a military jet going down in a residential neighborhood. homes were on fire there. we'll take you there in a moment. >> we have had a lot of plane activity. but when the plane was coming over it made a backfiring noise like a car would.

bill: and race too close to call. the runoff between thad cochran and chris mcdaniel set for the 24th of june. martha: some terrifying moments in a southern california neighborhood. panic on the street there. a military jet crashed in a residential area. it hit one home and set fire to two others. all of this happened in the town of imperial. this is not far from the mexican border. a marine corps spokesman says the pilot was able to eject safely.

>> initially i plant house screaming and called 911. he said calm down, i can't understand what you are saying. that was all god given to be able to land in someone's house and have neighboring homes and no one was hurt and even the pilot from what i understand was ejected, that's all god. march where how did all this happen? >> the cause of this crash is still under investigation. but witnesses say one second everything was calm, a second later it felt lake a bomb went off in their neighborhood. this happened just after 4 type yesterday afternoon. you can see how large an inferno the harrier jet called. one witness shot video of neighbors trying to help the pilot who ejected into a nearby street. seconds later three homes were

destroyed. >> it felt like an quake hit. it was pretty intense. i climed over the fence to see it. for a short minute i thought it could help. but when i got off it was three houses engulfed in flames. >> reporter: when you see the video it bear repeating that somehow nobody was hurt in this crash. martha: there was another jet crash overnight. >> an f-18 super hornet jet crashed into the ocean off southern california as it attempted to make a late-night landing on to an aircraft carrier. the pilot ejected. the jet that crashed into the neighborhooneighborhood came fr,

arizona. all three somehow nobody was hurt. >> reporter: that's a miracle. thank you very much. bill: dangerous stuff. this should have never happened. that from a gm ceo apologizing for a recall that led to 13 deaths. martha: soldiers free to speak. >> when he walked away, that lightbulb went off, yep, he walked away. it's not that surprising. as hard as that would be for people to understand who weren't there, it wasn't surprising. him seek out the taliban is a different story. support regular. wife: mmmm support regular. husband: these are good!

some are saying it's too little too late because the company knew about this in 2001. this morning she says the report paid for by gm shows a history of failures regarding this defect and a lack of urgency. she calls it a fundamental failure to meet the basic needs of the gm consumers. >> i hate sharing this with you just as much as you hate hearing it. give want you to hear it. this not just another business crisis for general motors. we aren't simply going to fiction this and move on. we are going to fix the failures in our system. >> reporter: she says the

sergeant bowe bergdahl. his former team leader says the fact he may have willingly given the taliban information would put americans at risk if proven. >> knowing he was trying to find the taliban it could have given an edge doing what we could to bump up our security. you are on such high alert any time you are on deployment but this bumped that level up a lot. martha: he said the fact that he was reaching out to the taliban made him nervous because he knew everything about their location and the way they work. the white house is saying they did not expect this back lark on bergdahl himself. this is chuck todd at nbc news. we didn't know we were going to be swift boated on bergdahl. a reference to john kerpy and

his military service. what do you think having been in the white house about their reaction to this? >> i think they are in a state of panic. these charges are disgraceful to say that these men who have been on your channel and others on cnn and other places to say they are lying which is what they are saying by swift boating. because in their point of view it was a lie. they are saying all these men are liars. these are men who did serve honorably. they did put their lives at risk. some of them are decorated. the fact is it gets us off the point. bergdahl should have been recovered no matter what. he's an american. he's being held in captivity much better off for to us get him away from him. the question is at what price. and the price that we paid for bergdahl might have been too high a price to pay even if you were trying to save a medal of

honor winner. we gave up five of the worst people in guantanamo. i spoke yesterday and the day before to people who really know guantanamo. i was told by one very knowledgeable person that the 50s worst people have been let go. he said everybody in guantanamo, it's down hill for them. we let mass murderers go. two of them are suspected of crimes against humanity. martha: war crimes. >> killing innocent civilians and children. this absurd. martha: what do you think is going on at the white house? did they really think -- these story were everywhere. my first thought was i thought googood for the navy seals and i put on my twitter account, hooray for navy seals'. and i thought i'm going get backlash. i thought that before any of this came out.

how could they not think that? >> they knew for two or three years this was a close question. it was rejected in part by meet congress say nothing way, in part by leon panetta and possibly by hillary clinton saying no way. they all knew the question fabl circumstances of bergdahl. i have think the white house made the situation with bergdahl much worse. to take a guy who left under questionable circumstances and put his family in the white house and make it look like this great hero is coming back. martha: they had to cancel his home coming in his own hometown. >> horribly handled by a white house i believe is in a state of panic. bill: president obama taking questions now with the british prime minister traveling in

highlighted the need for greater energy security. at the g7 we agreed to help ukraine reduce its energy risks, including diversifying its supplies. we'll help countries in central and eastern europe strengthen their energy security as well. following the review i called for in the united states earlier this year every g7 country will identify an energy assessment to identify potential disruptions and identify bays to prevent disruptions and recover from them quickly. we'll lead by example in the fight against climate change. i made it clear the united states will continue to do our part and earlier this week we took a major step proposing new stand cards that for the first time would limit carbon pollution from our existing power plants. it's one of the most ambitious

steps any station has taken to combat climate change to reduce carbon emission biz 30%. and it will improve our public health. it will also be good for our economy by helping create clean energy jobs and ultimately lower electricity bills for americans. bill already there will be questions and when those questions arise we'll get you back to belgium and let you know what's happening in brussels. martha: a stunning new poll find most people think gitmo prisoners receive better healthcare than our veterans. our next guest is a military veteran who once guarded the guilt mow detainees so he knows what kind of care they got. bill: people are honoring those

bill: a fox news poll about how little faith americans have in the way the fed treat our veterans. 50% think the u.s. government gives better healthcare to

prisoners at gitmo. only 31% say our veterans get better care. up were a former guard at gitmo for about a year? >> yes. bill: what do you think of this number? >> both republicans and deam democrats say the same thing. sometimes pops are based on incorrect perceptions and sometimes poll are the right. the respond accidents of this poll are correct. the care detainees get at guantanamo bay is exceptional. they are immediately seen from chronic care to specialty care to ptsd, whatever they need, they get that care. contrast that with the stories in the news about the department of veterans affairs. someone has to do a scale.

we only have 150 detainees. it's obviously much larger with 9 million veterans accessing care. bill: we asked excellent, good, fair or poor care for our veterans. 61 per se it's fair or poor. >> one of the defenses the va has been making is the care is great, you just can't get in. anybody who knows the truth knows delayed care is denied care. i think the dirty little secret is the care is uneven at the veterans affairs facilities. some of them are exceptional and fantastic. you tuck living next a facility that isn't that good. you are stuck. if you are waiting for care it may be good when you are in there but if you are in pain or you have got chronic issues and

you can't get in to take care of it, that's denied care. bill: will the government do a better job under obamacare than our government's healthcare system? >> department of veterans affair is a preview. i know obamacare isn't single pair. but that wraps they want it to go. to see the problems at va is to get at preview of what it looks like when the government wants to stand between you and your doctor. unfortunately veterans have been the guinea pigs. why impose it on all americans. bill: the speaker john boehner put out a call. what he still wants is the president to get behind this idea that the head of the va can fire people, get rid of the bad

apples in the meantime for veterans they can't get the help they are look for they can go elsewhere in the private system. why don't we move on that? >> we are very close. all day yesterday meeting with senators talking about those two things. why not support a bipartisan vote for accountability. and choice. simple choice. you can't get good care at the va facility then you can get a cancer screen something where else. these are popular ideas americans believe in but inside the beltway people push back and resist. bill: i heard you say you are close on that. we have breaking news with martha. martha: the president tonight q and a portion of this news conference with david cameron. question * u.s. concerns about

the russia. do you feel isolated among your eu leaders on your position on the european president and who would you like get the job and do you feel any pressure president obama on keeping the u.k. in the eu? >> first of all the relationship between the united states and france has never been stronger. on a whole rang of issues we are seeing intense cooperation. and i'm looking forward to seeing president hollande this evening to continue some of the work that was done here in brussels. my answer on the banging case is short and simple. the tradition of the united states is that ... martha: the president discussing some eu matters. we'll keep a close eye on that q and a. there is some new troubles for

martha: obamacare applicants are at risk of losing their coming or they will be forced to repay. >> reporter: you thought the problems with obamacare had been overshadowed. well, they are still there. 2 million people $have problems with their applications for subsidized healthcare.

1.2 million discrepancies, that's the government's word, discrepancies in the reporting of income to get yourself a subsidy. that's 1.2 million discrepancies there. 505,000 on the immigration status. you have got to be a legal immigrant to get that subsidy for obamacare. 505,000 on the reporting of immigration status. 461,000 on citizenship. you have got 2 million people whose applications for a subsidy under obamacare have been questioned. i have got to turn his around because health and human services says most of these discrepancies when they have been looked into have been settled in favor of the consumer so the taxpayer basically paid up. they just needed updated information from the government top match it up with the subsidy applications. but a lot of people thought they

got coverage, thought they got a subsidy but in fact do not than is a huge backlog while these two million applications for subsidies are being checked. >> it sounds like people applied who weren't eligible. >> that's the suspicion. that some of the 2 million i hate to use the word fraudulent but they were not accurate and honest in their statement of citizenship, immigration status or income. that is the suspicion. martha: stuart, thank you very much. bill: did soldiers die searching for bowe bergdahl and did the u.s. government lie to the family of one of them? second lieutenant darren andrews, we'll speak to his twin brother next. >> we were told that they were told not to talk about searching for bergdahl because they weren't want to compromise bergdahl's situation with the taliban.

rock rocket grenade. >> that is a picture of him and his twin brother jerrett who is joining us now. thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> we heard from your mom and dad here the other day. and you are obviously a solid family and we thank all of you for your sacrifice your family has made and the service of your brother. i want to play a sound byte from chuck hagel on the issue of anybody dying looking for bowe bergdahl. >> i don't know of specific circumstances or details of u.s. so soldiers dying as a result of efforts to find and rescue bowe bergdahl. >> can you answer that question

for him jerrett? >> i think it is an incredible statement. i think all he has to do is listen to the soldiers who have been speaking out about what happened and on were the ground. i wasn't there and i cannot speak to that but those soldiers have. it seems apparent they were killed looking for bergdahl and were certainly placed in more vulnerable positions than they would have been had he not left the post. >> what was your family told about your brother being killed boy an rpg and he saved six others out there yelling rpg so they would run for cover and he took the rpg and and lost his life. what have you been told they were doing out there? >> we were told they were

searching for a taliban leader. we had no reason to question that. since that time, beginning with this weekend, we have learned from soldiers that served with him at at the time of the ambush they were actually searching for bergdahl. >> i want to show you another picture of the president after this rose garden caremony and he is embracing -- ceremony -- the family of bowe bergdahl and i know anybody would be happy having their son come home. and this is getting attention but perhaps your brother and others were not given the recognition of what they deserve. >> the optics in this picture has been hard.

i hope people use this as an opportunity to remember that people who join the military for a decade did so at a time when they were certain to face combat and have their lives put in danger and joined to fight for our country and put themselves at risk. and have fulfilled their mission for respect and honor. those are the people that deserve those ceremonies. my family and folks are not seeking that out but to the extent there is any ceremony or festivals or honors we will prefer to see the heroes and the people that complete the mission and serve with honor. >> your brother was clearly one of those real heroes of the war who deserves to be recognized every day for the fight he was part of and the bravery and

courage he showed according to the reports from all of the people out there with him. what would you like to see happen to bowe bergdahl when he comes back to the united states? >> this is america. we deserves a trial and if he is found guilty he should be charged as such. my biggest fear is politics will get involved and that is a tragedy. >> thank you very much. and thank you for the service and sacrifice of your brother. >> thank you. five minutes passed and the white house is oversighting the bowe bergdahl issue. they are raising questions and this morning it appears those questions will join. jonah goldberg is live and here. good morning in washington, d.c. politico is writing how you

balance this in comparison to something like benghazi, and are you able to draw a comparison for the political staying power of something like this? >> one of my concerns is if he move into the political scoring of this we might lose sight this has a lot of tragedy policy issues behind it. but i think it is a legitimate political question to ask. there is a lot we don't know about the bergdahl story, and benghazi, too. but one thing that is different and politically more radio

activity is this is a new story. people have made up their mind about benghazi and think it is old news. we are learning something new and troubling every day. the story is alive and confirming everything they say about obama. dishonesty, unilateral care, ideas above the national in the, monomaniacal persuursuit and th is a lot to pick out here. >> it is interesting you put it in that context because it is

true people are just learning about this. we know that bowe bergdahl was missing five years and reports and rumors about this disappearances but the great large of the population didn't know about this. bergdahl's fate will be decided in a room. but the fate of the five taliban citizens, the dream team as some are calling them, we don't know what the future holds. i encourage the viewers to see the page in the wall street journal today. they write about one of the five who is accused of war crimes that chased 300,000 afghans from their home north of kabul.

this is a bad guy. and now he is free for a year in qutar and after that we don't know. and this maybe the legacy of the bergdahl story much more than the sergeant from idaho. >> the scary part for the obama white house is they have two more years with these guys at large in qutar. although everyone i talked to said the surveillance is a joke. they could do anything terrible and it could blow up in the white house's face and keep the story alive. this deal will get revisted, and we don't the know the bergdahl

story. >> sorry to interrupt you, the president was asked about this and where it stands and his view. and i want to get you to respond and let's watch it for the first time from brussels. >> i am never surprised by controversy that is whipped up in washington. that is par for the course. but i will repeat what i said two days ago. we have a basic principle: we don't leave anybody wearing the american uniform behind. we had a prisoner of war whose health it declined and we were concerned about and we saw an opportunity and seized it. and where -- i -- make no app l apology for that.

we discussed with congress something like this might occur. but because of the nature of the folks we were dealing with and the fragile nature of the nugauche -- negotiations -- felt it was important to move on. this exchange with enemies isn't unique to my administration. it dates back to the beginning of our republic. and with respect to how we announced it, i think it was important for people to understand that this isn't some obstruction or political football. you have a couple parents whose kid volunteered to fight in a

distant land. they had not seen him for five years. and as commander of chief, i am responsible for those kids. i got letters from parents who say if you are sending my child into war make sure that child is being taken care of and i write too many letters to folks who unfortunately don't see their children again after fighting a war. i make absolutely no apology for making sure we get back a young man to his parents and the american people understand that this is somebody's child. and that we don't condition whether or not we make the effort to try to get them back. did you have a second question?

okay. you can ask him about that. >> on the issue of meeting -- >> okay. now, two things there, jonah, one is bergdahl, and as said before it was right to bring him back regardless of what you think or the facts are bring him home. many question the deal itself. the taliban came to the united states wanting 6 for 1 and one guy died at gitmo as a detainee. so you do the deal in the five to one swap with terms and conditions set out by the taliban. >> there is a lot of stolen bases in what president obama said. i have seen a lot of talk

against the president and i have not seen talk about people saying we should not do what we should to get a soldier home. if the taliban had asked for everybody in gitmo that would be fine, too, according to his logic because there is no room to criticize any deal. there is a debate though on if this was successful. he began by saying he is not shocked by the controversy whipped up in washington and says any criticism is contrivefe contrivefe contrivefelt. >> thank you. we are out of time. the white house had plans and backup plans to deal with

the backlash, but did they miscalculate? plus this: >> and that is what happens when you try to avade the police next.

(anncr vo) innovations that work for you. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare.

the president just took questions on the white house's response to the controversy that developed over bowe bergdahl and his release and the trade for five high level members of the

taliban. doug schoen is here and monica crowley is a fox news host. the president said i am not never surprised by these whipped up controversy that happens in washington. it is part of the game. >> well, it isn't part of the game and this isn't a whipped up controversy. there are huge questions. bipartisan questions about why this deal was made, what the circumstances were of bergdahl's leaving his post, why a deal for five top-ranking taliban commanders was made in the absence of ongoing peace talks. and no consulting with congress at all when there is a mandated 30-day period that is supposed to happen >> we remember with the syria

redline and president said i had to go to congress and they didn't sign off so why not doing it. but this time a different story. >> doug is pointing out this is bipartisan and that is because we are dealing with significant national security issue. the ranking member in the sen intelligence committee said he and diane feinstein, the chair woman of the committee, said at the end of 2011-2012 sent letters to president obama and then secretary of state hilary clinton said not to release these five because they are the worst. the president never responded but hilary clinton did in a long letter promising consultation if they did this. they are claiming now they are surprised and if anyone raises

question they are part of a partisan witch hunt and they are smearing the soldiers that dare to tell the truth of bergdahl. >> what about the image in the rose garden? everybody understand you want to reunite a family. this is a father who told his son to listen to his conscious. >> given that the senior bergdahl has expressed sympathy with the taliban and said he wanted to clear guantanamo bay of all detainees. we don't leave people behind. but we don't have to celebrate these kind of people and these circumstances. it left me feeling empty. >> and what about the parents of

those soldiers killed in the line of fire looking for bergdahl? they should have been at the white house, too. in a moment, where are all of the good paying jobs? the vice president has a comment about that. next. the lowest price book any flight or hotel and if you find it for less, we'll match it and give you 50 dollars off your next trip expedia, find yours still runnng in the morning? yeah.

the job numbers out tomorrow for the month of day. the weekly is out. 8,000 last week and they are hovering around a 7-year low. critics of the white house say the jobs added since the recession don't pay enough. and apparently joe biden is one of them. >> we made sure no one got left

behind. but we didn't guarantee every job would be high paying. >> cheryl is here. we didn't guarantee every job would be high paying. >> we have two million fewer jobs in the middle and high wage sector that were existing. the recovery is in the service sector like retail, bar, and waitress jobs. minimum wage jobs. so companies are hiring but it is the lower end wages. and planned layoffs in the private sector jumped 31% from last month. >> that is not good. median household income.

2007, start of recession on the screen, about $53,000 and then the end of the recession and you see this beginning of the recession. that is a difference of $3200 in decline and shows you america is getting poorer >> overall we are not seeing wage growth. 44% of the jobs that have been created since the recovery, the job recovery began four years ago, are lower paying jobs. there are some high paying jobs and the obama administration has a program that they announced in april they will spend $500 million of taxpayer money to encourage community colleges to work with businesses to get kids in aprintice programs. it is a waste of money. >> fewer jobs in the highway

industries of america. >> in the last four years. it has been six years since the recession and we have seen unemployment and the rate going down. but the jobs are shifting. and this is the new normal/reality of jobs in this country. these lower paying jobs. if you are a software engineering, accountant, or nurse i can find you a job. >> tomorrow is a big day on jobs. thank you, cheryl, from fox business. stunning new polls of americans thinking president obama is making america look weak. >> and a military jet crashing into a crowded neighborhood. how it happened and live to the scene of that.

>> moments ago, the president speaking overseas and responding to firestorm over the bergdahl controversy and hoe was asked if

this was whipped up. >> i am never surprised by controversy whipped up by congre congress. that is par for the course. but we have a principle. we don't leave people behind. >>a poll of 55% saying the administration has made america weaker and 35% said stronger. general, let's talk about this. it feels like people are understanding and trying to draw their own conclusion about what this deal means. has this story been whipped up as the president described? >> if this were just whipped up in washington perhaps there would be merit to what the

president said. but this isn't. i get e-mails from all over the world and the amount of anger is coming from every corner of america. active duty and retired so soldiers. the outrage over this is greater than the president's decision to go to war with syria last summer. this has struck a chord when the american people. the relationship between the soldiers and the people have been violated. i think they are trying to figure out both. it is the sense that the president wants to go to war against syria and vladimer putin keeps him from doing that. we have benghazi, iran, north

korea and a question of calls inside and among the -- inside the pentagon and among the military -- and they are tone deaf to the american people and sadly they are tone deaf to the soldiers. the ones in the field are the ones sending back to truth. i have learned from 39 years in the army, if you want to know the truth, don't talk to the colonels, talk to the soldiers. they will sell you the truth. >> first lindsay graham. >> i believe the decision to release the prisoprisoners put country in trouble, fuelled the jihad and it was a disservice to the afghan people because they

will have to live with these guys >> yes, they will. you think about that and the poll of the witness and strength in america. you say powerability equals strength. >> that means it equals the strength of the forces times the willingness to use it. if will goes to zero, than power goes to zero no matter how capable your force is. so you have to have it military power -- which we have -- but if you don't have a competence to use it it is a reduction in our ability to act to things all over the world. >> you want to gauge the

reaction and it isn't just republicans. democrats are shaking their head as well. and i made the point with jonah that the fate of bergdahl will be whatever plays out but the future of al qaeda, the people in afghanistan, american folks stationed overseas and these five men you see on your screen right now, they will tell us whether or not the swap was a good one 1-5 years from now. >> if you look at what these guys did. they are a kitchen cabinet in waiting for the new country, the taliban-controlled country of afghanistan. it is evident looking at their job descriptions. and the second thing is they are getting away with it. we will leave afghanistan in 18 months and whoever is left

ovthere -- over there -- is going to have to deal with a rebuilding taliban structure that is coming from of all places guantanamo bay. unbelievable. >> general bob scales, thank you. tear down this wall!

presidency. two terms as california's governor. american was facing high unemployment and inflation and his opponent was jimmy carter. >> you will go to the polls next week and i think it might be well if you could ask yourself are you better off than you were four years ago? >> legendary words. that launched the reagan revolution. they served two term and returned to california afterwards. not bad. not bad at all. >> i remember walking to the belmont racetrack and the track announcer came on and stunned everybody with the announcement of his passing. never forget that. >> ten years ago today. so the white house defends the deal that won them bergdahl

dash cam video catching a buick slamming into a truck and then a bus. watch. >> ouch. boy didn't think that was coming. that is macon, georgia. deputies attempted to pull the driver over on a seatbelt charge and the driver sped off and hit that truck. we watched president obama speaking in brussels and a reporter asked him about the controversy on the release and here is his response: >> i am responsible for those kids. and i get letters from parents who say if you are in fact

sending my child into war, make sure that child is being taken care of. and i write too many letters to folks that unfortunately don't see their children again after fighting a war. i make absolutely no apology for making sure we get back a young man to his parents and that the american people understand that this is somebody's child. >> lars larson and richard fowler is here. lars, what is your reaction to that? >> the president did this clearly for political reason. two years ago, rolling stone magazine quoted a senior official saying if they could pull off the swap it would be a great political victory in an election year. we are in an election year now. but this turned around and bit the president because he did a

number of things wrong. he traded a terrorist to terrorists which is something americans should never do. and there is a law that says it is illegal to give material support to terrorist and what kind of support is giving five of the top five taliban leaders back in the cause. >> you just called bowe bergdahl a terrorist. >> you said we traded a terrorist for a terrorist. >> i said we traded to terrorist. five terrorists to a terrorist. >> just want to be clear. >> please don't put words in my mouth. >> what do you think about what the president said? >> listen, i agree with the president. i could careless if it was president cruz, rubio, or bush. one of our men were in harm's

way, we put them there, and it is our job to bring them home. this is a valuable listen. one of my best friends is a marine and i would want him home, too. >> at any cost? >> that is one of the questions. the president said and anyone can sympathize with that he feels responsible for these young men and women. leave no man behind? we left four behind in benghazi. two former navy seals died on that roof. and they were heroes. no question about their service. so how do you square that? >> i think we can all agree what happened in benghazi shouldn't happen again. we can investigate it until we are blue in the face.

but at the end of the day, this president is trying to make sure it doesn't happen again. john mccain should be ashamed saying this is wrong when he was once a pow. >> he never abandoned his post. i believe that is a different situation based on the interviews of the people who work with him. and richard, surely you can understand if that is true, there is no comparison between mccain and bergdahl. when bergdahl is released, he will have his story to tell. and it maybe something that people, some people, can sympathize with, we don't know that. >> that is true. >> what about sergeant tahmooress in mexico?

there has been any news about this. what about this guy? >> john mccain did his duty and didn't desert his post. the pentagon determined in an investigation that bowe bergdahl abandoned his post. he is a deserter. second item, john mccain came back because we were dealinging another country. we negotiate with countries in wars. this president sets a precedent by doing business with terrorists. >> if you give me a quick answer richard, i will let you respond. >> i am not comparing him to john mccain but when we put troops in harms way our job is to bring them home alive. that is what the president did. in mexico, he crossed the line

and there is a lot of issues there. this guy was serving in afghanistan -- >> i think we can say there is a lot of issues in both stories. lars and richard, thank you for sharing. >> want to get to jenna lee. "happening now" rolls your way in ten minutes. what is happening? >> getting a lot of new poll numbers on the controversy that is going around the white house. talking about american leadership. and a jet crashes into a california neighborhood and an interview with neighbors. and is having babies control? are you in trouble because i am six and a half month pregnant? new research on that coming up. new research on that coming up.
