jon: ceremonies underway on new york on the left of your screen, lady liberty under a cascade of rose petals, gifts from the french, and normandy ceremonies underway overseas. we'll see you back here in an hour. jenna: "outnumbered" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> this is "outnumbered." i'm sandra smith, and here today, harris faulkner, kimberly guilfoyle, jedediah bela, and today's hashtag one luck city guy, geraldo, he is outnumbered. >> definitely my favorite environment of any show i've ever been on. [laughter] >> it seems like a natural fit for you. >> this is a recurring dream that i have. >> well, get comfortable, because we're going to challenge you on a few things. >> oh, i like that. [laughter] sandra's indiana 1kwre8s.
9:01 am
>> aw! >> well, exclusive new details on sergeant bowe bergdahl, the army soldier converted to islam, declared himself a warrior for allah, and while he did briefly escape, he hung out and played soccer with his captors during his five years in captivity. they even reportedly let him carry a gun at times, this as we learn of reports that bergdahl had a habit of leaving his assigned posts. and the taliban reportedly saying when they found him, he was walking alone and cursing his countrymen. all this as six members of bergdahl's platoon, who have been speaking out about his behavior before his capture, gathered together for the first time in a kelly file exclusive. megyn: raise your hand if you think he deserted. wow. raise your hand if you have some question about whether he deserted. wow. >> when you're in a combat zone, it doesn't matter if you're left, right, independent, jedi, whatever you want to be, okay?
9:02 am
the only thing that matters is you have an american flag on your shoulder. we're all going to ride together, we're all going to die together. and he, i guess, for whatever reason -- i don't know how he felt about us, but we would all die for him, and he left. megyn: raise your hand if you would like to see him court-martialed and see a trial. wow. >> geraldo, i want to get your reaction right away. >> i raise my hand along with those troopers. i'd like to see him court-martialed also. but i tell you, i am seeing something deeply disturbing. number one, i don't care what he did, i want him home. we'll sort it out when he gets back on american territory the same as with the marine sergeant in the jail in tijuana. i don't care what he did, i want him home, we'll sort it out once he gets home. i want bergdahl home, that's the rule, we don't leave anyone behind, period. now, what i am deeply distressed at, and i am seeing it evolve
9:03 am
very, very clearly in the news reporting, in james rosen's reporting, it seems to me as this goes forward, "the new york times" now reporting that he had mental illness. if you are against obama, you're against bergdahl. if you're for obama, you're for bergdahl. you make excuses if you're a liberal, you condemn him if you're a conservative. he has become a political football, and i as a combat reporter am deeply distressed by that. >> but we're all for the u.s. army, we're all for our military men and women, and clearly the words are written on the wall that he was a deserter, kimberly. >> yeah. this is so disturbing to me, but i agree that he should be brought back here, right? and he should face justice. that's what we need in this case, i think for everybody. i don't think it's good enough to say, oh, he's over there, leave him there, who cares. no. his place is here, his place is in court to determine exactly what happened. it seems the evidence so far that we have is pretty overwhelming. let him present his defense, if he has one, and then you know
9:04 am
the armed forces will have some kind of indication, some kind of justice, especially for those who served and tried to go and rescue him and find him and lost their lives. >> but yet the white house is saying there's absolutely no evidence. even though kim bear kimberly's referencing the evidence we have, the white house is still denying everything. >> and the members of his platoon, this was heartbreaking because these men have been smeared. they had to come out and say this isn't political for us. i would die for my fellow soldier. they had to defend themselves and hearing them say things like i don't know what he would have done for us, but we would have given our lives for him, completely heart wreaken. many have said, well, they're just out to make a political point. they're not. they're out there saying i am here for my fellow man. he wasn't here for us. >> so, harris, i want to get your reaction because these findings are according to a privately-released report to fox news by the eclipse group, former intelligence officers and operatives. they're revealing that he was living, basically, a life of
9:05 am
freedom while in captivity by the taliban, engaging in target practice, firing ak-47s, carrying a loaded gun on occasion, kicking around a soccer ball. >> well, you know, there are a couple of things to say about this. taliban commanders have gone on the record, former taliban commanders -- which i find really interesting that they would go on the record and talk about this -- but on more than one occasion back in 2009 or prior to that point they had seen this man walking off base complaining about the people that he worked with. and really tearing down our u.s. military. so it's interesting that he had a history, maybe he was walking off base and walking back. i don't know if we can use the word "deserted" for those occasions, but even among the taliban he had kind of this reputation for hating or being anti-american. so it doesn't really, i don't think, sound too surprising that he would have some sort of relationship of freedom within their confines. but here's my point i wanted to make, and it leads to this idea of court-martialing, because there is this online petition that we've been reading about.
9:06 am
there are about 6,000 to 6,500 who signed onto this petition, and they want president obama to push for a court-martialing. why is that as important right now as getting the story straight about those five anti-american kill ors that we traded for this guy? geraldo, i heard you say we want to get him back, but would you have done it this way? >> in war you deal with your enemy, you don't deal with your friend. you don't make peace with your friend, you make peace with your enemy. i believe that the five taliban -- who had been held, by the way, for over 12 years -- >> we though. >> -- without ever being charged. >> we got that. >> and what they did was before 9/11 and it was not against the united states -- >> you defending them? >> what i am suggesting is that these prisoners of war, i believe that they are prisons of war, will be released when hostilities cease. that's the way it's always been. i believe everybody in guantanamo will be released when we say good-bye to afghanistan.
9:07 am
>> when will we stop fighting the terrorists? when is that going to happen? >> haste, let me ask you -- harris, let me ask you a question, do we keep them forever? >> i won't live forever, so i want to know when -- >> we let the nazis go after world war ii, we let the japanese and their special forces that reaped, raped southeast asia, we let them -- when wars end, in north vietnam, the viet cong. when wars end, you do a prisoner exchange. all they got was they got these five guys a year early. >> but they're significant people that should be held. i don't think we just gratuitously turn them over -- >> for how long? and how do you know what they did? >> well, we know the information we have thus far about the attacks and jihad against the united states that they were involved in, one in particular of significance. these were commanders. these were not people who were just rank and file. they had certain stand, oing, and that's why it's such a big coup for the taliban. that's why other americans
9:08 am
traveling abroad aren't safe because this is what we do, we will trade. and by the way, it's far there secure over there. >> i agree with that. i agree with that. i was there 11 times on extended combat -- >> and this guy in particular, geraldo, this bergdahl, had special forces on the ground looking for him some of the first units out there, he had a capture or kill designation just the same as any high-value taliban target. >> i don't know that to be a fact. i don't know that to be a fact. hold it. what is true and what is not true is far from established, and we can't just go out there. and -- >> that is true. >> and james rosen in his reporting suggests that bergdahl attempted to escape and was kept in a cage. so you can emphasize the fact that he's playing soccer and having fun with these guys, but you also have to suggest in fairness there are reports that he tried to escape the taliban and was kept in a metal cage. >> why such a disproportionate trade though? >> the israelis trade 50 for 1,
9:09 am
500 for 1. >> why 5 for 1? >> we set no terms here. no one's arguing saying, well, maybe this guy shouldn't have been brought back, but why did we give them -- >> i me that i'm the oddball, but i think guantanamo is a crime against humanity. it's a shyster's ploy to -- guantanamo should be closed. >> we have not seen the major case investigation -- >> we've got more on that in just a bit. speaking of bergdahl, in her new book, "hard choices," former secretary of state hillary clinton touches on negotiations with the taliban. and attempts to secure bergdahl's freedom. in a copy of the book obtained by cbs news, mrs. clinton says she raised concerns about trading taliban prisoners. saying, quote: the taliban's top concerns seem to be the fate of its fight beers being held at guantanamo bay and other prisons. in every discussion about prisoners, we demanded the release of army sergeant woa bergdahl who had been captured in 2009. there would not be any agreement
9:10 am
about prisoners without the sergeant coming home. i acknowledged, as i had many times before, that opening the door to negotiations with the taliban would be hard to swallow for many americans after so many years of war. geraldo, i see you reacting already. i wonder what thousand seeing something -- now seeing something like this, what this now means for her potential run. >> i think that i agree with secretary clinton. you know, the problem is you sit down. i mean, i've been in so many wars. when you sit down, you are repulsed by the person on the other side of the table. we sat down with the north vietnamese and the viet cong and negotiated peace. we hated them for what they did to us. when we, after world war ii and you had all these ss troopers and all these other people -- i mean, aside from the handful tried at nuremberg -- it repulsed us. and yet you do it because when wars end, that's what happens. now, in terms of bergdahl and the prisoner swap, i go back to
9:11 am
what the israelis do. they've been involved in combat now for decades. it is routine. you trade with what you have, and you make a deal with what you have. the israelis 5 to 1, 50 to 1, 500 do 1. sometimes they trade scores of prisoners for the dead body of an israeli soldier. >> but it seems to me when we just read that and heard that, harris, it seems to he her concern was more about the perception that the american people would have of such rather than its effect on the nation. >> well, you know, that report goes on to say that mrs. clinton wanted the prisoner swap to be one of a series of confidence-building measures which also included the opening of the taliban office in qatar's capital, doha. she wanted taliban denones craigs whereof -- denunciation of terror. these were a series of negotiations that had been going on, so any side up until this point that said they weren't negotiating, first of all, wasn't telling the truth. now we know there was a series going on, but it wasn't just the
9:12 am
optics. this was a longer sort of long-term view that we could befriend the taliban. and i just don't see evidence of that. i want to know now what this swap has done, again, 5 for 1, all anti-americans, five killers that we know of. they can check that box in their anti-americanism as well. what made that deal so good? did we really think these people would be friends with us? >> this is naive. i mean, it's sophomoric at best. this is no kind of foreign policy that's going to succeed. you don't negotiate with terrorists. who are they? they are thugs, they are criminals, they are jihadists. they hate americans, and they want to do everything they can to kill us. to mistake for one minute that they could be our friends or we could trust them is to, basically, put an x mark to execute american soldiers because that's what's going to happen. >> hillary clinton is a politician. she's protecting herself, her run, and heaven forbid any of these guys come out and do more damage, think of these detainees come out and hurt this country, she wants to be on record as
9:13 am
having said i would not have gone this route. >> all right. well, the negative reaction taking the white house by surprise. how that could have been possible and what it could mean for the president. also, why the swap may with just a preview of what is to come for gitmo detainees. stay tuned. ♪ ♪ sfx: car unlock beep.

♪ ♪ >> well, there are growing concerns about the five guantanamo bay detainees traded for bowe bergdahl's freedom. they're banned from traveling for one year. now, our own amy kellogg is live from doha, qatar. >> kimberly, there is more than a bit of bling to this place. you can't escape the roar of the ferraris and the maseratis tearing down the coastal roads. there are shopping malls that have canals and gondolas weaving through them. this is a very rich place, but it is rich for the citizens of qatar which these five are not and, frankly, we don't know at this point exactly how the taliban detainees transferred here are living and, frankly, most people it seems in this boom town don't really care. afghanistan is not their war, and qatar in its role as a bridge between some of the more radical groups in the region and the west already hosts a number
9:18 am
of talibanfficials when came here to negotiate peace but so far have not done that. plus the leader of hamas is here as is moammar gadhafi's old foreign minister. now, the taliban did ask that the five men who have been deemed high security threats by the pentagon could at least go to member a ca in saudi arabia for hajj pilgrimage or europe for health care. they're not allowed to do that. u.s. officials tell me they are confident the qataris will keep a sufficient watch on them. the qataris are saying very little except that this, in their eyes, was a humanitarian intervention. that is what the foreign minister said earlier this week. fact of the heart is, kimberly, that after a year these five are free to go back to afghanistan, and that, it seems to me, is where the biggest security threat appears. i've spoken to prominent afghan journalists who say while they understand the u.s. did what it needed to do, it doesn't send a good signal to them about the u.s. being concerned about afghanistan's security after troops pull out if these guys
9:19 am
do, indeed, go back to afghanistan, kimberly. >> all right, amy, thank you. and desite major criticism over the release of those five taliban commanders in exchange for sergeant bowe bergdahl, an administration official reportedly says president obama is moving forward with his push to close gitmo and currently considering releasing another prisoner from began tan moy bay, a detainee who was accused of planning to train and fight with the taliban. this as the official says the government is working to reduce what it calls a backlog of prisoners already approved for transfer. now, geraldo, you've been a strong advocate in this regard to say you're against gitmo, you believe those prisoners should be released. what are your thoughts? >> guantanamo bay prison camp is on the island of cuba. why would the united states of america put its prison facility for foreign prisoners on the island of cuba? we did it so we could avoid the impact of the united states constitution on those prisoners.
9:20 am
it was a shyster's ploy. it was an awful idea -- >> not very start. >> why not a military base in the united states? why not a maximum security federal prison? and after 1 years, they've -- 12 years, it seems to me the taliban and the haqqani gangsters -- who i know very well -- have done quite effectively in terms of pursuit of their war without these five and the others in guantanamo. these people have all been incarcerated since before the major push in afghanistan -- >> so you're saying what's happened with bergdahl does not change your mind one bit about releasing prisoners from gitmo? that doesn't change your mind? >> what do you know that a i don't know? >> that's just the problem, we don't know enough yet. >> we know he's an american g.i., and he's got to be brought home. >> shouldn't we stop releasing prisoners until we find out more? >> you know, one of the things as i've been in combat so often with these guys in every branch of the service, one of the things they take great security
9:21 am
in is a absolute maxim that if anything happens to them, they're going to be brought home, that we will not leave them behind. i don't care who bergdahl is, we don't leave him behind. and when you start making the judgment, oh, this one is this or that one is that and you violate or you waver from that hard principle, then our armed forces will be stripped of what is absolutely the thing that makes them most secure. they know their colleagues -- >> yeah, but, harris, it seems to me he's pretty lucky that he was brought home the way he was, because if those special forces had found him and encountered him -- and they were looking for him -- he would have come home either in a body bag or come home and gone straight to jail. now we see his family at the white house, he's being celebrated as the hero, you have susan rice saying he served with honor and distinction. they have to walk that back because, unfortunately, the evidence is -- >> i don't care. >> it does matter. >> no, it doesn't. because if they were -- i don't

[laughter] >> if the choices were the same, he would have done the same thing. i would love to press in with charles on that point, but this is what he said to bret baier. so i'm wondering if maybe the axis is going on. >> i just want to remind people that we're talking about terrorists, and we've just made an enormous effort to make the lives of these five men who did enormous harm to americans a lot easier. they are much happier wherever they are right now -- >> on the beach. >> and that does not make me

happy. >> and gitmo is not a bad place for anybody who's been there -- >> i've been there. >> it's not -- >> 12 years. what, it's going to be 120 years? how long is enough time? >> harris -- >> not long enough. not long enough. >> what about the nazis? how come they were let out? >> this will be your opportunity -- >> sorry. [laughter] >> i promise, i'm good with my word here. it seems like the white house has been caught off guard over the backlash for the deal to freeberg call the. syndicated columnist charles krauthammer says this is just another example of how out of touch the president is. >> i would have agreed with the swap, but with great reluctance, with even revulsion in order to get one of our guys back. but the idea that they would think that the country would want to celebrate this tells you how out of touch they are, and you've got a sense of that when the president said, oh, the debates in washington are being
9:24 am
whipped up as if this is a phony debate, and it's not over fundamental issues where there are arguments on both sides. >> jedediah, is this a case of the white house perhaps trying to write the story before it had gotten out there? >> i think it's a case of them counting on us to be ignorant, to be ill informed, and counting on the media not to do this job. they just expected everyone would be so caught up in the moment of an american coming home that they wouldn't bother to ask any questions about him, and within just an hour, reporters were coming out and saying, hold on, let's question this guy. once again, they cart susan rice out just thinking everyone's going to let her statement sit as is, and no one's going to come in and question her statement. to do with them, we learned with benghazi that you have to question susan rice, and they have. i think they're continually surprised by americans and media who ask tough questions. >> and i think they weren't expecting the courageous soldiers to come forward with the information, because so many of them were told keep this
9:25 am
confidential, don't talk about it, keep it under wraps. but instead, and this is why i love this country, because we have freedoms to be able to speak and to tell the truth. and they came forward at great risk to themselves. >> let's upon be up a picture, if we can -- pop up a picture, because this is the resounding victory we have of the weekend, it's the president with the parents of bowe bergdahl. i want to ask really what this shows, sandra, because clearly we know there was a major classified file on this bowe bergdahl. we know that our own u.s. intel had been looking at him before 2009 and since. and looking at what he was really doing. >> and we also have seen the tweets of sympathy from his father, bergdahl's father, hugging the president there for his captors. that's all been out there. and geraldo's trying to jump? -- jump in. i think the white house was caught off guard by this. initially, i didn't think that. but the lack of ability of the white house to respond to the criticism that is out there right now, they did not plan for
9:26 am
that, they did not -- >> the white house should justly be criticized for bypassing the congress of the united states. they could have informed the gang of eight, they could have had a very select, highly-classified -- >> they should have. >> they should have, and they did not. i think that that is the biggest failing of what the white house did here. they acted unilaterally when they should easily have incorporated leaders in both houses or both parties. >> yeah. bipartisan approach there, too, because both sides are complaining they didn't do that. >> well, now they have a mess because it's become yet another, what do we call it? scandal. and it's what we're all talking about. >> on the other hand, we're not talking about the veterans administration. >> ah. >> scandal after another. >> i'm surprised to hear you say that, geraldo. >> that's a real scandal. >> we'll move on. >> so is this. >> can we take a look at a really huge number? the dow is up 69. look at that. the jobless picture remains unchanged. what brand new fox polling,
