9:00 pm
this is mike huckabee from new york. good night and god bless. stay tuned for "justice with judge jeanine." megyn is next. i'm bill o'reilly. the spin stops here. we're looking out for you. tonight, new fallout from the decision to release five top terror leaders in exchange for sergeant bowe bergdahl, an american held hostage by the taliban. senior officials in the u.s. military advised against the swap telling the president this was a bad deal. welcome to the "kelly file", everyone. i'm megyn kelly. jim spoke with a senior defense official friday described as very senior for another in a series of ugly revelations about the prisoner trade the president made a week ago. the source saying the president was told this deal would be quote handing over some four-star generals of the taliban in exchange for a soldier who appears to have walked off base on his own.
9:01 pm
and perhaps worse, although he will be investigated. the source went so far as to say quote, many in the military consider sergeant bergdahl a trader, a term they did not choose lightly. we asked whether this was a good deal. during an exclusive interview we taped with six members of the platoon yesterday, you'll hear their take in moments but first, to a man with deep contacts and a long history in the pentagon. the general is a retired four-star general, vice chief of staff and a fox news military analyst. general, good to see you tonight. let me start with sergeant bergdahl because there were reports today that were connected to james rosen's reporting yesterday that he may have converted to islam while in captivity, that he declared himself to be a warrior and seen with target practice with ak- ak-ak-47s with the enemy but today we learn indeed he did try to escape not just once but twice reportedly and given your
9:02 pm
history in the army, what does all of that tell you? >> well, first of all, the sources that james rosen has, which was a private contractor working for the government and one that has a very good reputation in my head provide that kind of information, collaboration with the enemy and also escaping multiple times but what the military does is try to confirm those sources, as well as the cia. what we know for a fact because of confirmation from multiple sources that bergdahl did in fact escape and obviously recaptured. what we don't know is we haven't been able to confirm how many times he escaped, other than the one time and how many attempts he made, and we do not, have not been able to confirm the collaboration aspect of it. so that's where we kind of stand, and i suspect we may not get much more information, but this much is going to happen, megyn, when he gets in the hands and he's ready for it after this decompression he's going through, in the hands of very
9:03 pm
experienced, highly skilled int inter gator who can earn his trust and unburden the guilt he has and work with him, even if he is an islam i can jihadest, i'm convinced at the end of that that could take days or weeks we may know the full story on sergeant bergdahl. >> if he did do those things, did he violate a code of conduct in the military? >> absolutely. first of all, he violates his oath but deserting is a violation of the crowd of conduct. if he seeks favor that's a violation of the code of conduct. if he collaborates with an enemy, that is a violation of the code of conduct, however, if he tries to escape and actually escapes, that uphold s the code of conduct and a con act that
9:04 pm
should be respected. >> i want to get to the guys that have been released. the senior defense official says the president was warned not to do that and the former defense secretary saying i was against this when i was defense secretary. i believed i had an obligation not to release the soldiers, these taliban soldiers given the on going war and i assumed this would never happen. >> well, that doesn't surprise me because, you know, i've been around penetta for a number of years. he's a straight shooter. general mcchrystal, general austin and general allen and dun ford made recommendations to the administration on war policy issues in iraq and afghanistan and the president rejected every single one of them during force
9:05 pm
levels, forces. it doesn't surprise me on an issue like this, the particularly, the generals are close to the fight in the theater and made a recommendation we should not make the trade and provided the rational for it and as has all their other recommendations over the past four to five years. >> wow. general, thanks for being here. >> always good talking to you, megyn. >> likewise. it is an understatement to say administration has taken heat on this deal and a lot of that has fallen on the white house national security advisor susan rice after she decided to once again go on the sunday shows, this time suggesting that sergeant bergdahl served the military with quote on nor and distinction. then she was given the opportunity to walk that back and here is what she did instead. >> i realize there has been a lot of discussion and controversy around this. what i was referring to is the fact that this was a young man who volunteered to serve his country in uniform at a time of war.
9:06 pm
that is a very honorable thing. >> when we spoke last night to some soldiers who served with sergeant bergdahl, they had a different take on his service in action. >> he's not a hero. he did not serve with distinction. that's a spit in the face to everyone who joined the army and died looking for him. >> i don't know how he felt about us, but we would all die for him and he left. >> raise your hand if you think he deserted. wow. raise your hand if you have some question whether he deserted. wow. >> charles is author of the new york times number one best seller "things that matter" a perfect father's day gift, as well. susan rice has the opportunity to walk it back, she chose to back up. >> when you're in a hole stop digging. what she said is so ridiculous and so obviously at odds with
9:07 pm
everything that we know. the fact that he put on a uniform doesn't distinguish him from anybody else in the military. what distinguishes him, what made him end up in captivity, what created the whole problem that ended up with the release of the five taliban leaders is the fact that he took off his uniform. that is what distinguishes him and that's the reason. all she had to do -- well, the first thing is it is inconceivable she would have said it in the first place. there is no explanation. second, once you say it, you simply say i misspoke, i was thinking about him joining, but of course, there were other questions about his deserting or alleged deserting. there is something about susan ri. she really ought to stay in bed. >> you know, it's interesting to listen to you. i know you have said that you believe you might have made this
9:08 pm
deal to get an american soldier home and then have him face trial. >> right. >> but you had real objections with the way the president has handled this. in your column you write administration might have tried honesty here. how could they have done this in a way that wouldn't have blown back on them in this way? >> you simply say we understand how high the price was. we're not going to pretend the five guys released are now going to stay in qatar, that there is any real prevention of activities. of course they will return. of course they will rejoin the fight. we know about the checkered history of the man being released. you level with the american people and say this is a terribly difficult choice. it's one where we understand and respect other americans who would have made the contrary choice. instead of the president
9:09 pm
arrogantly saying the furry in washington is whipped up as if there are no arguments on the other side, as if it's a partisan thing and democrats upset about this are making it up. what the president should have said is this is a somber day. this is a terrible decision. it's a deal that i do with great reluctance, rather than spiking the football, having a rose garden ceremony. i believe the president actually thought that this is a victory. susan rice to go back to susan rice, actually said that this is an extraordinary day for america. it's an extraordinary somber and dark day. this is a defeat for the united states. yes, had i become bander in chief, i would have made the same choice but with great reluctance. the fact that the president can't see that, the fact that he
9:10 pm
thinks everybody is opposing him presumably doing it from motives is shocking. he doesn't understand the gravity or nature of what he's done. >> charles, thanks for being here. >> pleasure. >> when we sat down fur our exclusive with his platoon, they talked about his service, capture and the feeling that bergdahl quote left them behind. just ahead, what they said last night about administration's attacks on their motives and up next for the very first time, we will show you the platoon answering the very big question, was this a good deal? >> i think we probably have all -- after this happened, talked to our family and said look, if that was me, you can go ahead and leave the day we rescued riley, was a truly amazing day. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. for over 18 years we've helped people

9:13 pm
back now to the top story. senior military officials advised president obama not to trade the taliban five for a u.s. serviceman held hostage. a man who defense sources tell fox news became a muslim while in captivity and calling himself a warrior for islam. we brought together six members for his platoon and asked him about the trade. here now their answer. perhaps the most important
9:14 pm
question to a lot of the folks out there is regardless of what you feel about bowe bergdahl and whether he deserted, and i know you-all feel he did, do you believe this prisoner swap was worth it? do you agree with the prisoner swap? raise your hand if you do. wow. not one of you supports it. why not? >> those are very bad people. they are not an office clerk. they don't, just because they go away for awhile, they will not stop what they are doing. they continue to do it and will always continue to do what they do. >> being in gitmo for 10 or 12 years, well, we like the united states because they let us free but held us prisoner -- >> you're focused on them but the president says we're talking about an american soldier and leave nos man behind. >> we can agree within a year, they will be back in afghanistan essentially destroying everything that we worked and the whole military worked to build up since the wars in afghanistan began. we'll go back.
9:15 pm
>> there is ways to get him back. trading five hard core prisoners out of gitmo, you can do missions. >> there was some talk about money. >> yeah. >> either way, even if it's money or prisoners, i can't really remember us doing that in the history of our country, and it doesn't matter what another country does. >> does it matter because some of the president's defenders said by the time they get out from their custody in qatar, qatar is supposed to watch them for a year, the war in afghanistan will technically be over -- >> doesn't matter. >> the bottom line is these guys terrorized the afghan people. not just americans. so even if we're not in afghanistan, they will go back to afghanistan and continue to terrorize the people who live there. >> guy whose went over there to fight for this country and actually were fighting the taliban to see the leaders get let back out, i don't know what that must feel like. >> i can't speak for them but
9:16 pm
myself personally, i never would expect for somebody to trade my life for prisoners, ever. >> never. >> you would not if you were in captivity. >> i think we probably all after this happened talked to our families and said look, if that was me, go ahead and leave me there because i signed on the line to die for my country. i deployed, expecting, not expecting, knowing i could die. if i got captured and you're going to release five high-profile taliban leaders, i'm one guy, nobody cares about me. >> you would rather die in captivity -- >> i think every single one of us would say that. >> even though they are in qatar and not in afghanistan, who is to say they aren't passing notes or orders or recruitment things or, you know, whatever. just because they are in a different country, doesn't mean they can't affect something else in another country. >> "time magazine" had an interview and said, it was just
9:17 pm
posted that said yes, this absolutely will encourage us and now we realize how valuable our little bird was and will look forward to taking more pen perceived to be important like this soldier. as soldiers yourselves, that has to be chilling. >> definitely. >> put as price on soldiers, marines, any armed forces that are deployed, puts a price on their head. >> how do you feel about the fact the military sanctioned this? it's not like barack obama went off and did this on his own? he had advisors supporting him. >> i know -- he is an american. i mean, i don't want anyone to get us wrong and say we're not glad an american is back here. it's not good for anyone when someone is held in, in his case, quote unquote captivity. it's not good for anybody. we need to get him back. he's an american. the price that we paid, not worth it at all. >> no. >> he needs, at some level, you can stay there until we figure something else out, especially,
9:18 pm
i can speak for everyone when the military, they knew what was going on. it's not like these things we're saying we just came up with. >> right, history. >> we learned these things, they knew just as we did. >> that there was question of collaboration -- >> that's why we're speaking out. if they knew all this, then why did they go to this level to get him back? >> well, this is the first time this group of soldiers had been together since they left afghanistan and had a lot more to say. up next, their take on what happens with sergeant bergdahl and why. >> it doesn't matter what his motives were. we took an oath and had to abide by o in the nation, it's not always pretty. add brand new belongings from nationwide insurance...
9:19 pm
...and we'll replace destroyed or stolen items with brand-new versions. we put members first. join the nation. ♪ nationwide is on your side ♪

homeowners searching for mortgage refinancing. but since their property values fell, they can't find a way, even though they're current on their payments. hey guys, you need some help? >> yes...... >> no, we're ok. time to try a different route called harp. it's helping millions find lower rates and save money. lost? yeah follow me see if you qualify at harp.gov. your best route to a better mortgage.
9:21 pm
we mentioned the reports
9:22 pm
that our own james rosen broke, documents suggesting bowe bergdahl may have collaborated with the enemy. i asked his members of patrol about that. watch. >> i want to start with you, evan, the team leader of the team bergdahl was on. what do you make of the latest reporting by james rosen, that he converted to islam, fraternized with captors and declared himself a warrior for islam by august of 2012? >> initially after he left, i mean, we knew that he had deserted. we knew that he was trying to find the taliban or trying to find someone who could speak english so he could talk to the taliban. that was known to us at the time when we were on the ground right after he left. >> trying to find somebody who speaks english and can connect him with the taliban could mean he had god complex, wanted to solve the war, doesn't mean he was going to collaborate with the enemy against the united states. >> exactly. at this point we have to listen
9:23 pm
to his side of the story. right now apmerica wants to hea what he has to say. we can prove he deserted in an attempt to find the taliban. >> you have no question about that in your mind? >> no question in my mind. >> raise your hand if you think he deserted. wow. raise your hand if you have some question whether he deserted. wow, go ahead, finish your point. >> so, once he got with the taliban and got connected with them, whatever -- at that point, what happened after that we don't know and we're going to have to wait for his answers. we heard the reports. we were still in the army. >> you're in afghanistan. whether it was reported on the news really suddenly and nobody grasps on to it, i heard these things or whether it was through
9:24 pm
the rumor mil but clearly, now that these documents are out, there is just still no way to prove it i mean exactly and there is no way i can say it. >> when you think of him in captivity for five years and see the video of him coming home, the taliban released it, a property began to piece, but nonetheless, it shows him. do you think this is what i would have done to survive, even if it involved saying i converted to islam and took up arms against the united states. what do you think about that? >> maybe five days. i would have done everything i had to do, cursing them, trying to escape, swinging on them, trying to steal a gun, shoot them. i'm not going to be a propaganda piece so my family can see me on the internet. >> you're cody fuller, his prior roommate. >> yes. i keep hearing what were his motives for deserting? it doesn't matter. we took an oath and we had to abide by, you know, orders, you
9:25 pm
know, you don't just leave your fellow americans to join somebody else. >> explain that to us. civilians who have never as you guys did volunteered our service in our lives potentially to protect america think he was disillusioned, he was scared. he walked off. help us understand what a -- >> iraq is not an easy time. a combat zone is not an easy time. everybody is struggling. >> we're not there because it's easy. we're there to do a hard job and that's what you signed up to do. >> what's the best evidence you had the night he went missing and ultimately wound up captured, he was doing it intentionally? >> okay, the morning we found out he was missing, we -- someone went to wake him up for his guard shift. he was not there. not in his tent. his weapon, bulletproof vest, sensitive items left behind in the tent. we looked around the small op we were on. the size of maybe two acres. some wire, some areas where
9:26 pm
anyone could walk right up. it wasn't like a structured base with a gate. we had trucks out, bunkers, that was it. it only took a few minutes to look around and see that he was not there. at that point, we knew nothing. we knew he was gone and had nothing else to go on. we pushed the patrol to go to the neighboring village to see if we could find somebody who could give us information, a direction of travel, if they say anything. we got out about ten feet out of where we walked out and two boys who were walking to school came up to us and said, hey, there was an american crawling through the weeds that way and they pointed -- >> in the direction and that's the lead we followed because that's the lead we had. >> i was on the patrol, too. >> i was, too. >> how many people had a conversation with him prior to when he went missing about i might walk off and go into india or the mountains some day because a few of you did.
9:27 pm
>> he said that to me. it was probably a week of two prior on a different mission. we got stuck on top of a mountain for about a week or so, sitting around, waiting to do guard shifts, talking to me making jokes or whatever and he says, you know, i could see myself getting lost in these mountains. i said well, i couldn't see myself here but maybe like colorado or alaska. i wouldn't want to be stuck in the mountain it is of this country, personally. >> well, it was roughly a week ago the soldiers who served with bergdahl spoke out and complained about administration painting him as a hero and then we started hearing some administration figures questioning their credibility, their motives, even their sanity at one point. their reaction to all of that is next. >> when you're in a combat zone, it doesn't matter if you're left, right, independent, jeti,

well, in the days since sergeant bergdahl's platoon started speaking out, we heard administration figuring question credibility, motives and sanity. in a tweet from a housing
9:32 pm
department official who is a vet, we had to ask, how did that feel? let's just set this up. it's gone from they told you you couldn't talk, then you decided to talk when they started to say their version and now that you started to talk, you've got administration figures calling you swift boaters and psychopaths. who would like to take that? >> frankly, i'm flattered they are acknowledging us. makes a point here. to jump to conclusion to say he was directly responsible for those deaths. >> the guys looking for him? >> i need more evidence to actually say that. >> at the same time, they all were -- when bergdahl left and we knew that he then was trying to find someone who spoke english so he can talk to the taliban, we knew he was then trying to make connections with them, the mission changed. bergdahl leaving, the whole mission changed. it went from our hearts and
9:33 pm
minds, you know, doing, going to villages and trying to find the taliban and helping people to a search, we got to search for this guy. >> this is a big deal. >> very big deal. >> it changed everything. >> when you -- >> two weeks, three weeks, four weeks. >> when you saw him get on the helicopter, when you saw the video, do you remember that? how did you feel when you saw that? >> when i saw him, i said wow, he looks pretty good. we looked a lot worse than that when we were out there looking for him. >> looking for him. >> it was funny to me. after watching the video, it was a little uneventful. they just handed him over. them saying -- you heard he was sickly and stuff. >> i want to ask you, though, about the attacks on you because you were asked by the army to sign the none disclosures and you are servicemen. you do what you're asked, you signed them, right? made you speak out? is there something that upset you? >> we were told, you know, you can't talk -- and some people that haven't spoken out, they
9:34 pm
signed some official ones. stuff we signed was more of like a gag order, can't talk about it while you're in, probably shouldn't talk about it until you get home. >> why did you do it? why are you speaking out now? >> the truth needs to come out. exactly what happened, why -- >> what did you think when you saw the president with his parents at the rose garden? >> i didn't know what to think on that. >> yeah. >> we were all in the army. so it was hard to watch that. >> i had to leave the room. >> yeah. >> wow. >> we were all in the army and if, you know, if he makes a mistake, if matt makes a mistake, they do something that violates the military justice code, they get held accountable, whether a court marshall, article 15, whatever they may be, they get held accountable. it's not fair to the men that have done the right thing, made mistakes maybe, got punished, come back from it and did bigger and greater things to have him do something completely wrong, which is desertion and come back labeled as a hero and not be punished at all. >> what do you make because we
9:35 pm
talked before about susan rice saying he served with honor ex distinction. these guys are not big fans of that comment but then jay carney was asked to explain that and here is what he said. >> sergeant bergdahl put on the uniform of the united states voluntary and went to war for the united states voluntarily. that takes honor and it is a mark of distinction. >> okay. >> he also voluntarily left, as well, though. he voluntarily left us behind to do his own thing. >> i've known a lot of people in the army that came in and they didn't serve with honor. >> even at the time, i mean, signing on the dotted line, knowing what you're getting yourself into and joining the military, knowing you're going to deploy, that's honorable right off the bat. that's great and true at the time for him. but then he walked away in the middle of afghanistan on the farthest front lines you can be on to go seek out the taliban. >> you teal thfeel that was a f
9:36 pm
you -- >> it's saying that's honorable saying walking away, wlohatever his agenda was to connect with the taliban, explain how that is honorable. >> they seem to be trying to predate it. >> that's spitting in the face to everyone deployed, came back. >> every single -- >> not even the company. every person in the military. >> what do you make of the reports some white house aids are saying you guys with swift boaters and even the president and his top aids are saying that anybody complaining about this are being political. this is political. >> take politics out. we made it completely clear and this is the most that we've talked about it. this is not about politics. this is about the fact that bergdahl walked away from us, went to try to find the taliban and we know that for a fact and we were all there and there is not one person you can find that will say they do not believe
9:37 pm
that who was there. it's as clear as day. that's what we're trying to put out there. he is not a hero. he did not serve with distinction. that's a spit in the face to everyone who joined the army and died looking for him. what do you think their families feel? they don't get their family member back. >> when you're in a combat zone it doesn't matter if you're left, right, independent, jedi, whatever you want to be. the thing that matters is you have an american flag on your shoulder. he's my brother, he's my brother, we're all going to ride together and we're all going to die together. i don't know how he felt about us, but we would all die for him and he left. >> i considered him my really good friend and that hit me a little harder than maybe other guys but hit us hard because he is one of ours. >> if you can see him today, what would you say? s >> i would ask why. >> i think collectively and i know i have because being his team leader, he walks away and
9:38 pm
we never got closure on this. we have no idea why he did it and all we want to know is why. we had enough time to deal with our feelings about it. i don't think any of us are angry at him but we need closure. everybody needs closure at this point and now that it's this big, i mean, all of america, not just the people that are there. >> raise your hand if you would like to see him court marshalled and see a trial. wow. >> at the same time, getting his perspective and what he's going to say now and what he said, okay, well, you don't come up to a murderer and ask him oh, did you do it? no, i didn't. okay, you're free to go. >> a lot of people said how can you say you deserted without getting his testimonial. >> i would say look, those guys are lying. >> what about all the classified files and sworn statements, original investigation, all these files that are classified and nobody can see? why can't they bring it. >> is there anything he can say that would persuade you he
9:39 pm
didn't desert? >> no. >> absolutely. he left rop. he left brother soldiers, leadership. he left the country to go seek out the taliban. >> yeah, he still is a u.s. citizen and hasn't been discharged from the army so he is still a u.s. soldier. i think he does deserve due process. >> we all agree with that. >> and if that investigation leads to a court marshall, then so be it. >> that's the main point, we want him to be held accountable for everything he's done. >> he needs to answer for what he did. >> every moment you've seen with these six soldiers and more is on our facebook page, facebook.com/the "kelly file." like it, share it, leave your thought there is and let us know what you think. what you think. up

[ laughter ] >> he gets upset. so do you know jane fonda? >> she was great. >> then things went -- >> she made bigger rors and she -- >> i get the -- >> listen, the thing about jane is and i don't know but from a far i would say this, any time a woman says she's a strong woman and i see her with the moves of her old man all the time, for instance, she's married to roger and a table top dancer at the hotel. she goes and marries tom hayden and sitting on a gun tart and
