medicine if you're not telling me the truth. >> that's the best job you have as a doctor to take care of people. >> that's good advice. thank you, doctors. that does it for us. thank you for watching every week. take care. new details emerge about bowe bergdahl's time in captivity. meanwhile, the president firestorm grows as president obama faces a backlash from the left and the right over his decision to make the controversial soldier swap without notifying congressional leaders as the law requires. and a leading contend tore take the helm at the embattled department of veterans affairs says no thanks to the top job as v.a. officials get ready for another grilling on capitol hill. republican congressman john runyon will be asking the tough questions on monday, but today he's here with us live. and the first triple crown in decades goes down in flames as california chrome's winning streak comes to an end with a fourth place finish at belmont.

but what is not over is the uproar caused by the owner who is blasting the industry for allowing fresh challengers to steal chrome's thunder. we have the latest from new york. i'm shannon bream. the latest news from america's headquarters starts now. >> we'll do whatever is necessary in order to protect the united states of america. so these guys pick a fight with us in the future or now or at any time, there's enormous risk. >> secretary of state john kerry with some tough talk aimed at the five taliban prisoners released from guantanamo bay last week in exchange for sergeant bowe bergdahl. their freedom has caused a bipartisan uproar ever since. every day we're learning something new and sometimes conflicting details. and today, no different. now members of congress frozen out by the white house are

demanding answers. here's the latest from steve, hi, steve. >> the release of bowe bergdahl happened in exchange for five guantanamo detainees. the five detainees could return two the battlefield from qatar. secretary john kerry downplayed the fields saying the u.s. has the means to watch the released taliban and that they return to the fight at the risk of being killed. but even some democrats are not reassured that qatar is the safest place for them. and you don't often have senator dianne feinstein and senator john mccain agreeing with each other, but today they do. >> i heard john kerry this morning say, don't worry about them, but you can't help but worry about them in doha. we have no information on how the united states is actually going to see that they remain in

doha, that they make no comments and they do no agitation. >> first of all, i mean, cutter is n qatar -- we know 30% of those released from guantanamo before have reentered the fight. these people are in the leadership. they are the ones who are dedicated. the hardest of hard core. >> and secretary kerry said today there's an important principle behind bergdahl release. that americans do not leave other americans behind. others are calling for why the president ignored the law to require congress to know 30 days in advance before a prisoner is released. andrew tamarisi was held for two months after mistakenly crossing the border with guns.

his family fired the last lawyer and plans to focus on a failed seven-hour shakedown at the border. the downside is throwing the timetable for his case and even more putting him in him limbo. tomorrow the house of veterans affairs committee will hold a hearing on the latest v.a. scandal. elizabeth prann is following the latest for us. >> top protect doctor and vietnam doctor tobaccomy cosgrove has withdrawn his name as the cleveland executive acknowledging that the obama administration reached out to him, but he wants to stay put. releasing a statement on saturday reading in part, this has been an extraordinary difficult decision, but i have decided to withdraw from consideration due to the commitment i have made to the

organization, our patients and the work that still needs to be done here. meanwhile, acting secretary gibson is moving ahead with improvements. just days ago he said more than a dozen veterans died awaiting care at the phoenix v.a. facility. >> in any instance where the i.g. was able to determine that the lay-in care may have contributed to the timing of their death, we will launch our institutional disclosure process where we go to meet with the survivors, explain the circumstances of what we know, extend our most sincere apologies and i committed that in any of the instances i will personally go to meet with that family to extend my apology and the v.a.'s apology for that delay. >> both the house and senate are also looking at legislation to reform what has developed into systemic problems at the v.a. republican lawmakers say the fight is far from over. >> this is the biggest health care scandal in the v.a.'s

history. and america deserves to know whether the president is committed to doing whatever it takes to make things right. >> as you said, shannon n a hearing tomorrow the house of veterans affairs committee will get an update on the latest inspector general report and the v.a. is looking into an internal review to access and patient care. thank you. republican congressman john runyon of new jersey is on the house of veterans affairs committee and is joining us live. welcome. >> thank you, shannon. good to be here. >> we know problems have been going on at the v.a. hospital for years. it seems though there's been actual movements of action on capitol hill and at the white house now that this has gone public are. you concerned that this story has dropped out of the headlines, whether that was intentional or not, that it's going to take some of the pressure off of them actually getting changes made? >> well, when you really look at this and you look at what is the v.a. has been doing. our oversight of the veterans

administration is really what got this cooking. and to the point where we still have over 110 requests for information to the department. it's mind-numbing to think that, nope, are they telling us everything they know? the i.g., obviously who will be in front of the committee tomorrow, is going to come up with more answers and some more stories and many other things that have went wrong that the department themselves is not telling us about. >> we noticed the chairman, jeff miller, that we just heard from a moment ago who heads-up the committee, has been very frustrated and said there are all kinds of things subpoenaed that have not come through. the v.a. is stonewalling. what are your hoping with the hearing tomorrow night? what new do you hope to learn? what progress do you hope to make? >> well, i think just the opportunity to have the i.g. in front of us and really go through, you know, what they have as their interim report right now and talk about it. i raised the question to the veterans administration last week when we had the meeting, and the i.g. had pointed to a

facts that there was an audit switch turned off in their program, in their computer program, and many scheduling departments and other places that the i.g. wasn't able to get that information because it was turned off. and i asked the question, why was it turned off? who was told to turn it off and things like that, where you can't even get the information to post something bad happening like this. >> all right. i want to refer to a poll, some new polling data out on this issue this week, asked how the obama administration is handling the problems at the department of veterans affair, 29% say they approve of what's happening right now. 59% said they disapprove. 12% were unsure. it is clear that people blame this administration, that this has been going on for years. that the president as a candidate and president has talked about this following the secretary shinseki's resignation. president obama said, this is my administration, i will always take responsibility for whatever happens. do you think we need to hear

more from the president about this? and do you fear that some people will see secretary shinseki's resignation as somehow resolving the problem? >> well, the president's really going to have to step up in this case because as secretary shinseki steps down, he's the one that's really going to control this and make it move forward as they continue to search for who is going to be the next secretary for the long term. so he's going to have to step up and show the leadership and make the changes that are needed to make sure we're doing the right thing. and, you know, i personally going through this process and talking to veterans on the street every single day, the problems are widespread. and the v.a. has to own up to them so we can help them in congress. let us do our oversight and let us tell you what -- let us help you determine what the issues are and do we need to, you know, give you more funding or do we need to go through some processes like the house has

stepped up in a bipartisan manner and put some consequences in to add min stray or thes that don't do their job. >> we'll see how the two pieces come together. meanwhile, we'll be watching tomorrow at 7:30 eastern time when the latest hearing to curse on the house side. congressman, thank you for your time on this. >> thank you for having me. to another big question on capitol hill, will she or won't she testify? the newly formed house select committee on benghazi has not called former secretary hillary clinton to give her account. but in an abc news account, she says she's ready when and if they do. >> that's going to be up to the people running the hearing. i'm not going to say one way or the other. >> if they ask you, you'll go? >> we'll see how they decide to conduct themselves whether or not this is one more travesty about the loss of four americans or whether this is in the best tradition of the congress an

effort to try to figure out what we can do better. >> well, as the new committee gets to work, we'll have to see if clinton is called to testify. you know we're standing by. no triple crown winner this year, but the horse that captured america's attention, california chrome, is not amidst controversy after the loss. the owner has harsh words. julie is here with more. >> reporter: perhaps as the races were spread out, the results would be different. or had all the horses competed in all the legs, we would be talking about another winner today. but instead, we're talking about a different story. upset the winner of the belmont didn't race all three legs, steve coburn wants the racing rules changed after his horse fell short of nabbing the triple crown, a title which hasn't been awarded in a record years. coburn's bitter reaction getting more attention than the race itself today. >> it's not fair to these horses

that have been in the game since day one. i look at it this way, if you can't make enough points to get into the kentucky derby, you can't run in the other two is race. it's all or not. it's all or nothing. because this is not fair to these horses that have been running their guts out for these people and for the people that believe in them. for them to have somebody -- this is a coward's way out, in my opinion, this is a coward's way out. >> of the 11 horses that competed in the belmont, only three ran the derby and the preakness. and racing experts say it is too demanding for any 3-year-old horse to win all three with little too rest in between. if the horse doesn't win the derby, they hold them out of the preakness knowing this gives them an advantage in the mile and a half stretch at belmont. and the long distance took a toll on chrome seen with a foot injury after the race. photos taken while chrome was walking back to the barn showed

he had a bloody grash right there on the right front foot. a minor injury that may have hurt his chances, though it is not clear when the injury happened, but his trainer says it's not serious. nonetheless, a good argument, i would say, that the co-owner makes. >> definitely a good talker. thank you, julie. this brings us to your turn. do you agree or disagree with california chrome's own her? tweet me @shannonbream. we'll read some of your responses and would love to hear your opinions later in the show. right now there are americans and spouses of americans in prison overseas because of their faith. so why hasn't the white house nominated a key state department official which would be specifically equipped to help get the folks out? cal thomas is joining us later on that conversation. >> a criminal charges today after the deadly accident on the major u.s. roadway that left comedian tracy morgan in intensive care and took the life of his close mentor. and the crucial primaries

edit editor, chris, thank you for being here. >> it's been interesting because it looked like a couple of the candidates early on would make gain contraction, but it looks like the opposition to graham has not left behind any one of the six challengers. >> that is true, but that's not necessary. the name of the game in most southern states or a lot of southern states is they have runoffs, so the goal is not to win outright but to force the incumbent into a runoff as we're seeing in mississippi now. lindsey graham has done a way better job, there is a lesson in all of this for incumbents, for the republican party. lindsey graham made immediate and it would seem to be they take him sincere, outreach to the running. he said, look, you and i don't agree on everything. i'm not going out there in a tri-corner hat, but on the places where you want me, you need me. and things like what's been

going on with sergeant bergdahl and the taliban five and all that reminded the south carolina voters there are some things on foreign policy on which they like lindsey graham. >> right. he's military himself. >> oh, yeah. >> a lawyer, so he has a lot of understanding of these very important topics. but if he ends up in a runoff, is there a chance for -- >> sure. we'll get ready to see this in mississippi. a razor-thin race in mississippi. chris mcdaniel wins but is under 50%, but the electorate will change dramatically when we get to the end of this month. and that runoff will shrink and a lot of the moderate voters, it's more passion and more ideological and cross over democrats who came to support cochran who touts his spending to appropriate other people's money, and he will see a smaller more intensive conservative electorate.

>> let's also talk about the overall feeling, the overall mood. we had fox news polling out this week. in talking about the generic ballot, if you're a congressional district running, you need to pick red or blue. and from what i remember, we'll put it up here, republicans now 43%, the democrat at 39%. that's every race so nuanced and different, but if the election was held today, good news for republicans. >> huge. giant. republicans generally underperform, no, put it a different way, republicans generally speaking, by about a half point on average, but sometimes much more, republicans generally outperform polls when it gets to election time. they vote with greater intensity and frequency. this year the intensity is high. and that's why states like iowa are in the discussion. this is a state we would not have talked about before a year ago. there was no way that tom harkin's liberal icon would be succeeded by any republican. now as joni ernst moved the

chamber of the commerce and the tea party express, they don't get together on every candidate, she united the republican party and has brace braly, a democrat, on the run. >> what about the new ad this week? >> i'm going to let the ladies talk at that. that's not my place to say, but don't -- >> it seems that he's doing unforced errors. >> there are a couple unforced errors. she had an ad about hog castration. she did. it was a very effective ad. he wanted to respond to it and just said she was making peeps and noise, but was not really into castrating hogs. this is a very iowa race. >> i love it! >> so he put chicks on to say she was teething like a chick. and as it turned out, yes, all women get upset when you call them chicks and blame-o. >> we'll leave it there. thank you for the preview. you'll be watching closely on

primary tuesday to break it down for us here on fox news. thank you, chris. >> yes, ma'am. a mighty display of mother nature in the night sky. check out this lightning. we'll tell you where it is and why so many are glad to get this massive storm. and congress is demanding answers about why they were kept in the dark about the bergdahl trade. we'll talk to a key congressman in that discussion, coming up. i think this whole sort of deal has been one that administration has kept very close. and in the eyes of many of us, too close. >> it's kind of puzzling as to why they did not let us know in advance that this was going to happen. marge: you know, there's a more enjoyable way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious, and an excellent source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber. from phillips.

not giving lawmakers a heads-up before the taliban trade for bowe bergdahl. we'll talk to peter king in just a minute, but first elizabeth prann is here with a check on your headlines. hi, shannon. the entire house of representatives is expected to received a classified briefing on the report of five taliban soldiers swapped for sergeant bowe bergdahl. administration officials said the prisoner change was urgent because bergdahl's health was deteriorating. and how best to fix the v.a. mess. the house of veterans affairs committee will give an update on the latest inspector general report and the internal review in access to care. and this is how they do jailbreaks in canada. apparently with a helicopter three inmates broke out of the detention center in quebec and flew away. and comedian tracy morgan is

still hospitalized after a huge pileup on the new jersey turnpike. family members say he has managed to crack a smile. and charges have been filed against the driver of a walmart tractor-trailer that apparently caused the crash. the company's ceo says, if it was determined that the truck caused the accident, walmart will take full responsibility. those are your top stories, now back to you. elizabeth, thank you so much. well, the backlash from the bergdahl taliban swap continues to grow as congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle publicly vent about the president's decision not to notify them as required by law. congressman peter king is joining us now to talk about it. congressman, thank you for your time today. >> shannon, thank you. >> what do you make of the fact that we're hearing from both sides of the aisle, really pushing back against the president on this particular issue of notification? >> shannon, there's a real outrage here. and let me say, i'm one of those people who did not believe the president had the legal obligation to do it. i agree with general mukasey

president could have done this. certainly with bin laden and the plan to kill bin laden, to tell the top members of the intelligence committee about that months in advance, all i could think of here is he's more arrogant than ever or for some reason he wants to wrap up the war in afghanistan and not get bogged down with congress. it will be a rough two years for him. >> the administration official anonymous was quoted today in reports out this morning saying dozens of other gitmo prisoners have been ready to go with deals done, but there's worry about the public backlash. essentially, the administration has been negotiating the deals and told us in the neighborhood of 70 to 85 of them are ready to leave gitmo. what is your response? >> well, again, the president should in good faith certainly

notify congress of these negotiations. he should certainly inform congress when he's getting close to an agreement. and whether or not he feels he has to constitutionally, he should apply with the statute and give a 30 days' notice or as close to as possible. and while the president may have the power to do things doesn't mean he should do it. since the example was given, the right to pardon prisoners, they shouldn't pardon every prisoner in the u.s. prison system. you have to be responsible. and he wants cooperation from congress on foreign policy issues, then he needs to work with congress. whether it's democrat or republican, these key issues are not leaked out. they are afraid of congressional leaks, there's no story greater than the plan to kill bin laden. if anything would have made news by leaking out it was that. and nobody leaked a word of it. and it was known three to four months in advance to key members of congress in both houses and

both parties. >> you referenced an imperial presidency. that's something we have heard from plenty of the president's critics, but we are hearing that from the supporters. there are a lot of questions on whether it is immigration, the health care law, more 40 modifications that never involved you as a law make they are a went around congress. there's a growing controversy about the president's executive power, many presidents have done it, but the question is the founders put some things together that would allow the other branches to call the executive branch, things like the house not funding things. impeachment, all other kinds of mechanisms, but in this case what do you think is appropriate? i'm sure you get the question, people are upset about the president using executive action, but what is congress going to do about it? >> i think impeachment should always be the last option, but as far as funding, de-funding programs or refusing to fund programs where the president is trying to go around congress, i think that is a very legitimate

use of congressional power. the president, i mean, i don't know of any president that has lost contact with congress. bill clinton had rough dealings with congress but he kept dealing with congress. and a lot was achieved in bill clinton's first and second terms through cooperation of congress, particularly during his second term. again, with president bush, again, despite the hostility that existed at the time, a key issue is that president bush was able to work with congress. president obama just seems to go his own way and not be concerned about congress and yet congress does reflect the american people. like it or not, we're there. and under the constitution we have considerable powers and the president has to realize that otherwise the last two years of his term are going to be even more damaging to him than the last two have been. >> congressman peter king, good to see you. thank you, sir. >> thank you, shannon. up next, a christian mother married to a u.s. citizen faces

welcome texas is dealing with the aftermath that hit lubbock, texas, yesterday. winds were gusting up to 90 miles an hour battering the area. texas is famous for the lightning storms and last night was no exception as you can see in this amazing video. no serious damage has been reported. many residents say they actually welcomed the rain to give them some temporary relief from the

drought-parched ranch and farmland there. we don't adjudicate marriage certificates, so what i am telling you is i'm not going to adjudicate certificate claims from the podium. can you let me finish before you interrupt me, please? that's how we do it in the briefing room. >> that's deputy spokesman marie hart over the christian mother sentenced to death after being married to a u.s. citizen. the children should hold an american citizenship because of their father.

president oba the post state department admits this could make a difference in this case, a point that hart acknowledged. >> of course they can help with this. but there are a number of people working on this case very hard every single day. >> any update? >> no update on that. >> the author of "what works" is here, cal thomas, thank you for being here. >> thank you, shannon. >> mary ibrahim's case is getting a lot of attention, but we have many, many others. and the key state department post that would be a voice normally in these cases, we continue to ask the white house state department and keep hearing it is coming, but it still remains vacant. >> presidential power means a lot in these kinds of situations. i remember jimmy carter to his great credit put human rights front and center to his administration, and he was able to get the baptist pastor out of the soviet union.

he was very consistent on this issue. president obama has not been. i looked up this morning the christian website called open doors and they have a list of the top 11 countries persecuting christians the most. number one, of course, as you might expect was north korea. but the other ten are all arab/muslim nations. i don't know is since the president's first speech in cairo reaching out to the muslim world saying he would negotiate with iran and now there are reports today in "the washington post" that the negotiations over iran's nuclear program may continue again. why isn't he speaking out on this persecuted minority in the arab world? it's a win/win for him. there's no downside to this. >> and this post would be aimed to help religious minorities around the globe, wherever they are and whatever groups they are, if they are being persecuted, america has a voice. and the ambassador who speaks out, the position is aimed to help kris chaps, muslims and jews, whoever it is, do you feel

that the administration feels it's a very difficult balance to strike in picking this person to make sure they can be pleasing to all religious ideas and factions. is that possible? >> well, i think it is. because freedom of fought and freedom of religion is something basic, not only the american way of life but to much of the rest. we practice it here, the pluralism and the diversity, you go through neighborhoods and see synagogues and churches of various denominations. you see mosques now, you even see atheist groups with their chapels now. but i think one of the problems is, especially the christian community, isn't united as the jewish friends were during the attempts to get the refusniks out of the soviet union. they were successful in keeping this issue front and center and pressuring various presidents to keep speaking on this. the president has sway and power

and the ability to make this issue front and center. and not to say anything gives aid and comfort to those who would persecute religious minorities around the world. >> you mentioned iran and the discussions going back into talks with them over the nuclear program. i know that the wife of pastor abadini held there, he's been beat up and tortured. we have questions about his medical care, he's a u.s. citizen being held by iran. she and the family were crushed. i mean, she has tried to approach the president and approach the secretary of state with her own letters and trying to get face to face with them. i know they were devastated when the last deal with iran was made, that this gentleman was never part of the discussion. we were told after the fact, no, his name didn't come up. >> i don't see what the upside of this is. what do we gain as a country by not speaking out in favor of these things? you go back to biblical times, paul the apostle, about to be flogged, is it right for you to

flog a roman citizen? all of a sudden he said, wait, i didn't know you were a roman citizen? and he didn't get flogged. i think speaking out with a conviction makes a difference. this pastor in iran that has been beaten and in prison, and the latest situation in north korea where a pastor has been detained now. the united states has moral power in the world and we have greater moral power sometimes than military power. and if we won't use that moral power, then we see the immoral power to our enemies. >> and there are plenty of them. >> plenty of them. >> cal thomas, always good to see you. all the best with the book. >> thank you very much. still ahead, as the president faces a growing backlash over executive decisions like the bergdahl swap, he's not backing down. some are asking, as he gone too far? >> we had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated, and we were deeply concerned about it. and we saw an opportunity and we seized it. and i make no apologies for

a spectacular sight in france marking the 70th anniversary of d-day winding down. hundreds of paratroopers from the u.s. and europe leapt out of planes this sunday. one veteran who took part in the drop said it was nice to see 100 paratroopers but 70 years ago they had several thousand dropping out in the middle of the night. the greatest generation, indeed. and president obama began the year by promising to go it

alone with his pen and his phone. both his supporters and critics say that's exactly what he's done, greatly expanding the use of executive action. from ignoring laws in immigration and health care to making >> hi, shannon. how are you? >> i'm very good. i have to say, of course, you would expect the president's critics, but people who supported this president and video for him say they're now concerned because they know every expansion of power is something that could be used by future presidents, republican, democrat, independent, whom ever they might be. >> you're right about that. >> the go it alone approach that you described of president obama

has adopted, and it's clear that he is putting the -- if the stop is not put to the precedence, they'll be available to every future president, and that ought to be alarming to everyone. >> jonathan turley testified about this on the hill a few months ago. he has been talking about it as well in the most recent days as this conversation has come up again. he has been a supporter of the president. he is a liberal. this is not a conservative guy. he says what is emerging is an imperial presidency, an uber-presidency where the president can act unilaterally. he told congress he would go it alone. in our system you are not allowed to go it alone. there are checks and balances built in on multiple levels. this president, it doesn't seem like there's anybody -- i asked congressman peter king about this a few minutes ago.

it doesn't seem like there's any consequence when his critics and supporters think he has gone too far. >> the constitution really gives congress two means, and they're very powerful means, but there are really only two of them, to crack down on presidential lawlessness. one of them is the power of the purse, as you discussed with congressman king. he is using that constitutionality muscle. if they won't do that, really what you have left is impeachment. impeachment is obviously the final remedy, and the interesting thing about it in our constitution is the framers wanted there to be a clear standard for it, and they gave us high crimes and misdemeanors which are not really conventional crimes and misdemeanors, but as hamilton put tshg the political wrongs of public -- reasons of trust, things like dereliction of duty.

that's clear enough. when you get the standard -- the other thing is they aught also wanted to make it very difficult to impeach the president because they knew that that would be very disruptive to our society. you have this requirement that you get a two-thirds vote in the senate before you can remove a president, which means that unless there's a strong public will that cuts across partisan lines and idealogical lines, it can't be done. that's really where we're at with what the constitution arms congress with. >> all right. funding and impeachment. you talk about all of this laid out in your fascinating book. it provoke az very interesting conversation. one that a lot of people don't want to have. >> thanks so much. >> coming up, country music legend takes its final bow at dallas cowboys stadium. polar bears making a splash for
