i'm uma pemmaraju, we thank you for joining us. and we hope you make it a great day, everybody. hello, i'm kelly wright. welcome to a brand new hour of "america's news headquarters." >> i'm julie bandares. amid the growing controversy over the prisoner swap and bowe bergdahl, we now learn more about the former p.o.w.'s condition as he recovers in a hospital in germany. and actor and comedian tracy morgan hurt after a deadly car crash. more details on the multivehicle accident. and history could be made at the belmont stakes, as california chrome goes for the triple crown. the greatest prize in horse racing.

but we begin with more questions being raised about army sergeant bowe bergdahl's actions while held in captivity by the taliban. but we won't be able to hear from bergdahl himself for a while as he remains in stable condition at a hospital in germany. and bergdahl has still not spoken with his family, a week after his release. molly henneberg is live in washington with the very latest on his recovery. hi, molly. >> reporter: hi, julie. good afternoon. president obama said he didn't have the time and couldn't go before congress before swapping five top taliban leaders for army sergeant bowe bergdahl, because as he told nbc news, he had to act fast. quote, in a delicate situation that required no publicity. >> it was a unanimous decision among my principles in my government. and a view that was shared by my -- the members of the joint chiefs of staff. and this is something that i

would do again and i will continue to do wherever i have an opportunity, if i have a member of our military who is in captivity. >> but others say the president should have gotten congressional approval as the law requires before releasing gitmo detainees. and are questioning whether the obama administration acted in the nation's best national security interests by giving up five taliban fighters. >> these guys weren't in gitmo for stealing bicycles. they were in gitmo as the baddest of the bad. and they are essentially going to run around in qatar and then, you know, nobody is really monitoring them. nobody is keeping an eye on them. they're going to be right back in the fight before we know it. and i just can't imagine what the president was thinking. who advised him, and how he couldn't see that this was going to be an absolute unmitigated disaster. >> obama administration officials have said there was a credible threat that bergdahl may have been killed by the taliban if word of the deal got out prior to the transfer.

but senate intelligence chairwoman, democrat, dianne feinstein, said earlier this week she had seen no evidence of a credible threat. julie? >> molly henneberg, thank you very much. kelly. >> new details about the decision to swap five gitmo detainees for bergdahl are emerging as well. we get a stunning new report that senior military officials advised president obama not to make the trade. one senior defense official comparing it to handing over five four-star generals of the taliban. and earlier this week, sources told fox news, the obama administration had largely bypassed the intelligence community to green light the swap. and new developments at the growing veterans' affairs scandal, as well. secretary sloan gibson saying 18 veterans died while waiting for appointments at the health facility in phoenix. >> in far too many instances, in far too many locations, we've

let our veterans down. they're waiting too long for care. and in many instances, we have a number of staff members that are engaging in inappropriate practices, breaches of integrity. >> while elizabeth prann is following details of this story live in washington, she joins us now with the very latest in terms of the reaction to the acting v.a. secretary's findings. elizabeth? >> reporter: hi, kelly. well, on the heels of acting secretary sloan gibson's early findings, republican lawmakers say they're turning up the pressure on the administration. they say they'll continue to seek solutions for the alleged mismanagement, and change what appears to be a culture at the department of veterans' affairs. >> when we hear reports of mismanagement, every from dallas to dayton to chicago, we know this is not a storm that will just blow over. the underlying culture of corruption will still be there. >> reporter: meanwhile,

lawmakers on the hill are nulling over legislation. kelly? >> what is the latest with the legislation? is there anything moving forward? >> reporter: we're seeing activity really in both chambers. on one hand, the house passed the department of affairs management accountability act of 2014, allowing the v.a. secretary to remove anybody who deems underperforming. the senate also working on a similar bill with some added protections in had a section granting veterans more access to alternative facilities. meanwhile, gibson says he is proactively making improvements ahead of any moves by congress. >> by reaching out to veterans that have been waiting too long and is saying you've been waiting, i want to get you in, when can you come in. by delivering on our promise, they get the quality care they expect and deserve. >> reporter: during the week, gibson did confirm 18 did die while awaiting care. investigators also concluded up to 1700 veterans had been placed

on so-called secret waiting lists. the department is working to get them in doctors' offices within 30 days. back to you. >> elizabeth prann reporting live from washington, d.c. 30 rock star tracy morgan is in critical condition at this hour after his limousine bus overturned in a deadly pileup on the new jersey turnpike. six passengers were in the bus. one of them was killed. the collision also involved two tractor-trailers, an suv and two cars. seven people were hospitalized in all, including three who are in critical condition. morgan is now in intensive care at a new jersey hospital. he was most likely on his way home after performing a comedy show at a delaware casino. investigators are looking into the cause of the accident. however, a preliminary investigation has found that a tractor-trailer, according to state police, came up upon slow-moving traffic and slammed into the limo and other vehicles. in all, six vehicles involved in

this pileup. we will stay on top of this tragic story off of the new jersey turnpike. arizona's governor outraged over president obama's practice of dumping thousands of undocumented workers into their state. jan brewer responding to the ongoing practice, saying, quote, i am disturbed and outraged that president obama's administration continues to implement this danger and inhuman policy. meanwhile, neglecting to answer crucial questions our citizens dand demand and deserve. dominic is live with the rest of the story. dominic. >> reporter: hey, julie. yes, absolutely. jan brewer absolutely fuming she has had this humanitarian crisis that isn't arizona's own making thrust on to her lap and arizona having to have a new facility in southern arizona, on the mexican border, to deal with this in flux of primarily children that are fleeing violence in central america. the governor absolutely ripping

at the white house this week. she had contacted president obama earlier in the week, but then she realized the scale of the problem and then issued this statement. this is how she phrased it. this is a crisis of the federal government's making. and the fact that the border remains unsecure, she says, now apparently intentionally, while this operation continues full steam ahead, is deplorable. she says intentionally, because the federal government has no intention of stopping this in flux of these children. what is actually happening is a lot of these children are coming across the border in texas, being transported by air from texas into arizona. and then dumped by immigration officials at greyhound bus stations in it places like phoenix and tucson. some being sent to new york and maryland and just being left to fend for themselves. ask these are young children. outrage is being expressed not only by the governor, but also by people across the state, as well. the immigration authorities in the form of i.c.e., says we

can't go locking up minors and don't want to split them from their families and that's why they're sent to new york and maryland. but local law enforcement is very concerned about this, and saying that, look, it's a humanitarian issue before an immigration issue. listen. >> you're dumping people unexpectedly, no notice, no contact, no communication. i think that is wrong. i think they have to be a little more transparent so that local government, the communities, can somehow be part of a solution, as well. >> reporter: yeah. so these people, these kids being dumped without any food or water and just fend for themselves. here is the scale of the problem, finally, julie. 2,000 of these children turning up since memorial day. back to you. >> that's tragic. all right, thank you so much, dominic di-natale. kelly. >> all eyes on belmont park today in new york. california chrome could be making history, becoming horse

racing's first triple crown winner in 36 years. molly line is live at the belmont racetrack. good to see you in your lovely hat. see the wind is blowing. you spoke to the jockey that last won the triple crown decades ago. what's he saying about today's race? >> reporter: i mean, what a wild day for this gentleman. this could be the last day that steve kauffman has that title, that last jockey that won the triple crown. he says he's ready to pass the torch. he was riding in 1978 when all this history-making stuff happened. the horse just eeked out a win over his rival to win the sport's most elusive, prestigious prize. think about it, 36 years ago. kauffman believes that california chrome may just be the horse to end the long dry spell. >> he might be just a freak of a horse, you know, that can do things that his pedigree don't say -- wouldn't necessarily say he could do. he just may be able to overcome

it, because he's just an unusual horse that, you know, has the talent, the desire, and like you said, the right team around him. >> reporter: california chrome will face off against ten other horses tonight, post time, 6:52. eric? >> wow, kelly here. this is a history in the making. >> reporter: sorry. >> that's okay. what's the cost to see something like this taking place. >> reporter: actually, pretty reasonable. it's $10 to get in the door. of course, you've got to pay more if you want to be in some of the upgraded areas here at belmont park. but also there is a real bargain story here as far as california chrome, the horse itself. the owners paying 10,000 it is, roughly, to create, to bring california chrome into the world. a great working-classstory. and also, with all of the excitement around the triple crown gear-up, a lot of the folks that are passionate about horse racing hope that not just the price today, but also this great story bring more people into this community of being fans of horse racing. kelly? >> that's awesome.

molly, thank you very much. good to see you. >> reporter: thank you! it is amazing, the amount of money that goes into this, as well. the prizes are huge. the stakes are high. >> but julie, check this out. they bought that horse for $8,000. >> which is sort of a bargain, actually. >> a bargain? i think they gott deal. >> a discount. i like that. >> >> they get their own triple crown. >> deductibfinitely. we'll be watching. a legendary poet and author being honored today. maya angelou. president clinton and michelle obama paying tribute. we'll have much more on this touching ceremony. also, hillary clinton being questioned about the controversial taliban prisoner swap, a decision made by her former boss. so what was her response? and more storms in the forecast this weekend after tornadoes ripped through an area of colorado, causing all this damage. take a look. >> standing on the door, trying to keep it from employing in. i thought it was just wind.

now to the extreme weather center. tornadoes touching town in colorado and doing some serious

damage there. take a look at these incredible twisters. they are shattering windows, demolishing roofs, as you can see, knocking down power lines, and witnesses describe the destruction. listen. >> it was a scary deal. just stepped in the yard, and what windows that didn't bust, blasted so bad, nothing left of them. >> we're very blessed that this is all it did was, you know, tear some shingles off the roofs and uproot trees. >> forecasters say the storms could persist throughout the weekend so a warning for you in colorado. former secretary of state hillary clinton weighing in on the controversial prisoner swap of five taliban leaders for sergeant bowe bergdahl's freedom. she was asked if the exchange was like making a deal with the level. devil. here's her answer. >> i think this was a very hard choice. if you look at what the factors were going into the decision.

of course, there are competing interests and values. i mean, one of our values is, we bring everybody home off the battlefield the best we can. it doesn't matter how they ended up in a prisoner of war situation. >> it doesn't matter? >> it does not matter. we bring our people home. >> fox news contributor and director of outreach for freedom works. and ben wickler is senior strategist for moveon.org and radio host on the good fight. thank you for joining us this afternoon. let's get right to it. denine, it doesn't matter? sounds like what difference does it make. what do you make of hillary clinton's defense of the hard choice made by the president? >> it's outrageous, kelly. listen, hillary clinton has a new book out of the i think the title should have been "who cares" in terms of what went on with benghazi and everything else. hillary clinton is really making excuses. the name of her new book should

be "excuses" because she clearly does not care. from what difference does it make to the responses she just made just now. she is covering for herself, because it's all political. she only cares about herself. and this is what we are seeing up close and personal. and i find it very outrageous and disturbing. >> ben, denine is making some strong statements there about hillary clinton. but it doesn't matter -- it is -- it does conjure up that -- what difference does it make. what do you say of this. >> well, first of all, thanks so much for having me on, and denine, great to be on with you. you know, when you see a p.o.w./m.i.a. flag, it says you are not forgotten. it doesn't say you are not forgotten unless. it's an american value to bring our men and women in uniform home. and i think, you know, if it someone wants to make the case we should leave american prisoners of war in enemy hands as wars end, then bring it on. that seems to me like a totally unamerican position to have. but i would love to hear your point of view about when we should leave american troops

behind enemy lines as prisoners of war. >> let's get to the crux of all of this. and that is the particular conditions in which he was brought home. did the president give up too much in giving up five top taliban members from gitmo in exchange for sergeant bowe bergdahl? could they have fashioned a better deal, a better situation for his release? >> absolutely. they could have. and kelly, listen, we're talking about five terrorists who are dangerous, that president obama has allowed the release of, and hillary clinton supported that initiative, as well. our world is much more at risk, and so is the united states of america. these people hate america, our way of life. and this also lays out a red carpet for anyone else who doesn't like our way of life. you can kidnap an american who was abroad, kidnap a military personnel, and they'll be used as bargaining chips. i find the whole thing disturbing and outrageous, kelly. >> here's something that just came out that i want to ask both of you about.

ben, i see you shaking your head. go ahead and respond quickly. and i'll get to my next question which is a very important question. >> sure. i have several family members in the military and it is a fundamental commitment we make to them, if they are captured behind enemy lines, we will do what it takes to bring them home. that is a commitment to our men and women in uniform. and it's one we should not break. these are taliban prisoners of war, we are bringing this war to an end. and this is an exchange of prisoners of war to bring them home. look, we don't know exactly the specifics of what options obama had. this is a challenging situation that everyone will acknowledge. >> even the u.n. -- >> the principle of bringing home prisoners of war. >> these individuals hate americans. >> denine, let me get my question in quickly. that's understandable, they hate americans, i understand what ben is saying, as well, having served in the military. i wouldn't want anyone to leave me behind. but also, i wouldn't want to be accused of deserting my post. having said that, let's look at what the white house was told by this new stunning report that

senior military officials advised president obama not to make this trade. so having said that, ben, as you look forward, why would the president, endanger more americans with the release of these five taliban members for someone who left the battlefield and put his own troops at risk, who search for him? >> the first thing i'd say is, we don't outsource disciplining united states military forces to the taliban. we bring people home and then we investigate what they have done or might have done and bring appropriate military justice. that's our job. the other job we have is bringing people home safely. so that's number one. the second thing is, we know that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said this was fundamentally important. he has testified to that publicly. you know, there possibly were dissenting opinions in different military leaders. but we do know that everyone who is serving in the military wants to know that the government has their back. and that the american people have their back. i think that that's the fundamental principle. >> kelly, there are better ways

this could have been handled. and i think obama is just advancing his radical agenda, trying to make a statement. he broke the law, for crying out lo loud. hillary is a lawyer and so is obama. >> thank you. obviously the debate continues. the bottom line, sergeant bergdahl is in stable condition. he'll be able to talk about it himself when he gets himself together and returns to america. back to you. >> i'm glad our prisoners are home. thank you. we're taking you beyond the dream and into joel and victoria as teen's mega church and why they think it's expanding so rapidly. we'll explain. and growing outrage over the bergdahl prisoner exchange. the future threat that the five taliban fighters pose to the u.s. as they learn they may be living lives of luxury. >> these guys weren't in gitmo for stealing bicycles. they were the baddest of the bad, and they are essentially going to run around in qatar and no one is really monitoring them. nobody is keeping an eye on them. they're going to be right back in the fight before we know it.

time for a quick check on the headlines. new information on the suspects in the seattle pacific university shooting. police saying he calls 911 in 2010 to report a, quote, rage inside him. saying he wanted to hurt himself and others. the 19-year-old freshman was killed and two others wounded when police say the gunman opened fire on campus earlier this week. ukraine's new president sworn in. the man known as the chocolate king now calling for dialogue with the country's east, still gripped by deadly violence. but his inaugural address showing little signs of a quick resolution to the conflict. and poet, author and civil rights champion, maya angelou honored at a memorial ceremony today in north carolina. among those paying tribute, first lady, michelle obama and former president, bill clinton. >> she called our attention to the fact that things that really

matter, dignity, work, love and kindness are things we can all share and don't cost anything. and they matter more. than the differences of wealth and power. >> maya angelou died at her home last week. she was 86 years old. new questions about the five taliban leaders freed from ga tan mow bay in exchange for sergeant bowe bergdahl's freedom. they are living in qatar, where life could be very comfortable for them. amy kellogg is streaming live from doha, qatar with details. amy? >> reporter: an afghan source with very intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the afghan government tells me that outgoing president, hamid karzai is just seething that the taliban five weren't actually returned to afghanistan, as part of a wider peace negotiation

deal there. they would likely have been kept in government guest houses, with intense security, and there would have been some sort of program to deradicalize them. but instead, as we know now, they are in a third country that has a very relaxed attitude about having them. they are free to roam about, hit the fancy shopping malls of qatar with their designer boutiques and venetian style canals. all very appealing. but frankly, it is hard to tali excited about tom ford or caring about gucci shoes, given who they are. they can can look, but they can't touch. but they can't touch, importantly is fund-raising or political activity. now, this is a conservative country where their religion is the same would has beeny interpretation of islam as in saudi arabia. but it is just a much more relaxed place. it's smaller than the state of connecticut, and from what i'm told, a lot of invisible

surveillance here. therefore, the obama administration has expressed many times confidence that qatar will keep an eye on the taliban five whose future value on any battlefield is debatable. but clearly not insignificant. if these were the five men the taliban wanted back. yesterday, there was a suicide bombing in afghanistan. it was targeting abdullah abdullah who may become the next president. he survived. six others were killed. if in fact it was the taliban, kelly, that carried that attack off, it is just yet another reminder of how brazen and violent the organization is. kelly? >> amy kellogg reporting from qatar. the five taliban leaders exchanged for sergeant bowe bergdahl are now in qatar, but after a year could end up back in afghanistan. white house spokesman jay carney weighing in to charlie rose. >> let's be clear.

a., we're winding down the war in afghanistan, but, b., should any end up in afghanistan in the united states military is capable of handling five taliban. >> fox news military analyst, thank you so much for coming on again. we talk about this and we sort of scratch our heads. i particularly this morning, am reading about this, and i'm thinking what the heck kind of assurance is that? as a new yorker, every time a hear a loud bang, i'm startled. five taliban leaders free to possibly not only enter afghanistan, but the u.s., is not going to help me sleep anymore at night. and no matter how capable our military is of handling them. what do you make of carney's comments? >> well, i think he left a lot of credibility there in the white house press office and if this is a swan song, he left a little bit more. this is really a bad situation, julie. these are not five churches. these are five of the original leaders of the taliban organization. they wanted them back. they held out to get the deal that they wanted, which was all

five together. not a partial release to see how it goes. no, we'll get all five. this was i think being done for political reasons. you know, first we were told, well, it was a health issue. then no, we've got to do it right away. and now the story is, well, if it had leaked out, they would have killed them. well, if we were willing to trade those five guys for this one guy, they weren't going to kill them. and the other thing is, do we have the taliban now dictating to the president of the united states not to disclose to our congress? this whole thing, if it wasn't so pathetic, it would be laughable. >> this we have to be realistic here, is impossible for the military to promise that it can track these guys. what if they make it back into afghanistan? they're as good as gone, no? >> absolutely. we call afghanistan a country. and in general terms, 21st century, it is a country, has political borders. but it's really a collection of tribal and ethnic regions separated by some pretty imposing geography.

you know, it's a 12th century almost society living with some modern accoutrement. >> so when should changes occur, if ever? certainly not in a country we're at war with. >> prisoner exchanges should occur after hostilities have ceased. you make arrangements, you transport them back and forth and there is a turnover procedure. but it's after the hostilities have ceased. >> so without giving away any trade secrets here, how would we go about keeping track of these guys now that they're gone? they're in qatar and will make it back into afghanistan most likely. are they chipped? do we watch them via satellite? are we ready to drone strike them if necessary? what? >> you know, a lot of that is 24 and neat television people look at. but it's going to be very difficult. if they want out of qatar, they can get out of there. they could be smuggleled out of there. talk about internal security, yes. and it may be embarrassing for the government, but quite frankly, they don't really physically need to come out of

the country and get to afghanistan. there are ways of dealing with that through couriers. you don't have to go up on the internet or anything that could be traced. so they are going to be very politically active. nobody is going to be sitting there holding their handled watching what they're doing. we're going to have troops in there until the end of 2015. the president says we'll be out in 2016. they have a lot of time to do a lot of damage. and to start to create what they want, which is they're going to want vengeance, and they're going to want to get back in there, and they want to get back in there swinging. they're not going to sit and drink umbrella drinks on the shore of the gulf. >> okay, so i think it's safe to agree that you do not agree with carney's stance that the u.s. military is capable of tracking these guys and that we shouldn't worry about these five lead taliban members being free. so then what should the u.s. military do now that they're free? essentially? >> well, after you let the horse out of the barn, what do you do?

only shakes the horse. you know, most administrations run from incompetencies. they run from it. because they don't want to be accused of it. that is the excuse this administration runs to. so now you have to question, what is it they're running from? >> captain chuck nash, good question. i wish we had time to figure out an answer. thank you so much, we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. it's an exciting day here in new york city, not only because of the belmont and the quest for the triple crown, but it's also an exciting day because of what will be taking place at the storied yankee stadium tonight. joel osteen will present america's night of hope, and offer thousands the message of hope and encouragement. earlier this week, i went to yankee stadium to speak with joel and his wife victoria about tonight's event. they are looking forward to sending a message to people so they can be filled with hope and live beyond a dream. joel and victoria osteen return

to yankee stadium to offer a night of hope. they deal with a lot of people from all walks of life. true to their faith, the couple explained their message is designed to help people rise above their circumstances through the power of hope. >> it's going to be a night of inspiration, of encouragement, trying to get people to change their perspective, let them know there are good days up ahead. >> i think people just sometimes we all -- i mean, myself included, sometimes i just have to stop and have someone speak something good in my life. >> joel believes that faith and hope can help people turn a setback into a comeback. >> this is where god has me right now. i'm going to be my best, i'm going to be a blessing to other people. i'm going to have the right attitude. i believe that's what opens the way for god to open up bigger doors. >> the osteens are also joined by a small army of young volunteers who work with generation hope. they are committed to providing valuable services to troubled

neighborhoods by painting, landscaping, feeding and clothing the poor, and other efforts to help transform communities. >> it teaches the young people that life is about giving. our message is we are blessed to be a blessing. >> joel and victoria say their church in houston, texas, continues to grow, because they don't use religion as a source of division. instead, they say they reach out to all people of all faiths, all races and classes in a jesus style to love god and all people. letting them know they can live their best lives now. >> my father used to say, if you draw a circle and shut me out, i'm going to draw a bigger circle and shut you in. he had this inclusive mentality that everybody is welcome. the best, the rich, the poor, it's a place of healing and wholeness and then we can let god do the work. >> that's what i love about this message. it's a message of hope, it's a message of moving forward. it's a message that god loves you.

>> joel and victoria osteen sharing their hope and faith with others in hopes of helping people everywhere to never give up on pursuing their dreams. >> yeah, i like to see a power cup like that, as well. >> they are. >> you and i are a power couple. >> we are, aren't we? we don't run a church, but, hey, you probably could. >> of course. >> i'll stand behind you. americans are often told that the struggle to find good jobs is just the new normal, right? so what will it take to get this economy moving again? we're going to take a closer look. stay right here. what you wear to bed is your business.

of may. the economy now recovering all the jobs lost during the recession, the unemployment rate remains unchanged at 6.3%. but it's still a long way to go before there's a full-blown recovery. take a look at this brand-new fox news poll. 28% of americans believe we're still in a recession. 39% say we're in a down turn with 30% saying the economy is okay. the labor force participation rate also at a record low. we'll talk about it in just a moment. so what can we get our economy booming? how can we get it booming again? let's bring in financial advice author carol lynn castel berg, good to see you. >> hey, good to see you, kelly. >> so what can we do? what do we make of the 217,000 jobs added? are we there yet? >> i would say we are not there yet. and a lot of times you have to look beyond the numbers, if you will. you hit it. 6.3%, it looks like it's holding steady. 217,000 new jobs. but you also have to look the

what are these jobs? many of these jobs are lower wage positions, and the service industry and health care industry, social assistance. so what's happening are a lot of american families are having to learn to live on less. so when many of us ordinary people are watching these numbers, you're also saying, wait a minute, you know, the economy is booming, the me economy is recovering, what about me? what about my family? >> yeah, you know, it's almost like i don't feel it, you know. you stick your finger up in the air, and the wind is not blowing your direction sometimes. but let's took at a couple numbers quickly, carol lynn, like the really unemployment number. 62.8%. that's the labor participation rate. so that means -- what is it that mean? people aren't going to look for jobs? >> labor participation rate is actually anyone 16 and over who is actively looking for a job or who is employed. and one of the numbers and one of the sectors the factors really being hit hard here are

young kids. especially ages 25 to 29. kelly, this is a reality check. many of these kids grew up in an age of entitlement and age of privilege. and you're also looking at the real unemployment rate. this is something that many economists are taking a look at from the bureau of labor statistics. that's at 12.2%. this is a different figure, we're dissecting a lot of numbers here. but this is very interesting, because it adds in part-time workers, part time because of the economy. as well as a group, kelly, call marginally attached workers. in your segment, you talked about hope. that's the issue with this group, as well. in simple terms, these are very discouraged workers. >> so the hope could be going -- the wind could be going out of their sails. and i was talking to the producer before you and i discussed it, and she was saying it's a rosie picture out there and i said yeah, but roses have thorns. we're looking at the thorns in this economy. >> yes, continual.

and, you know, the discouraged workers, for example, many of them have just gotten tired of hearing no. they've heard no a zillion times over these past five years. so they have, in fact, given up hope. that's what you're looking at when you're looking at marginally attached workers. they literally are on the margin. and i would just say to them as a former financial adviser and someone who does go out and teach on financial advice, keep looking. because some of these numbers are real, and they are encouraging that, in fact, you know, there is hope on the economy, a lot of times you don't put finances and hope together. but that is the issue here. go out and keep looking, because many companies are, in fact, recovering and many are hiring. >> i like how you do that. put financial matters and hope together. is that really the way forward, to get out of this uncertainty and perhaps even create your own job? >> you know, it real estate really is. because when looking at these numbers, kelly, this is a

checkup on our national economy. how many people are out there working, how many are earning an income and how many are out there spending money. so all of that goes to hope. do you have a hope for the future. do you have a hope for a better job or a better paying job that will actually support your family. and a lot of these numbers are encouraging. so i would say to you, kelly, yes. >> all right, carolyn castel berry, thank you for that, and hopefully some employers are listening to you, as well. >> i hope so. >> thanks, carolyn. new findings on a link between a sleep disorder and diabetes. what you need to know to protect yourself from both conditions. we'll explain, next. tell us about the amazing mortgage process here at quicken loans. we care about your loan as much as you do. we're not just number crunchers. i'm your buddy. i'm your team mate. i specialize in what i do, and i care about my clients call us for a mortgage experience that's engineered to amaze.

cardio vascular disease, strokes. one incidental finding we're not sure about was diabetes, type two diabetes, adult onset diabetes. so this is a very large study. 8,000 people out of canada. they took control of many, many factors. and what they found is, if subjects had a 30% index, in other words, 30 times during the night, periods where they were not breathing, they had a 30% increase in developing type 2 diabetes, irrespective of everything else. this tells how important it is for people to understand that sleep appenea is very dangerous. >> okay. so what do people at risk for either of these, either sleep apnea or diabetes need to know. >> listen, let's say you have a partner, significant other, right? and he or she tells you, listen, you know, you are making too much noise at night, you're not breathing. take it to the bank, go to see a doctor, and he or she will usually send you to a sleep apnea center.

there are many hospitals around the country where they have an apartment, and you go there, you sleep the night, they hook you up with monitors. >> snoring could be -- >> it could be a sign. of course. so you go for a sleep study, and the doctor will tell you, absolutely. i'm not breathing ten times in the evening. and then there's -- you know, there's treatments for that. if you are by yourself, and you don't know what's going on, then look at your symptoms. are you waking up with a headache? are you waking up where you feel you have no energy? do you feel like you're gaining weight, perhaps? and you feel irritable? these also are signs that, you know, you wake and say i went to bed 8:00 at night, had ten hours of sleep. why do i feel so tired in the morning. that could be a sign. >> always best to check yourself. >> absolutely. >> if you ever feel anything. dr. manny alvarez, great to see you. >> thank you. tape recorder, that's what i do. >> that's a good idea. >> because i didn't believe my wife. >> always believe your wife. that's another segment. >> good to see you. and good to be with you this afternoon.
