"fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. today is monday, june 9. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. brand-new details about the deadly crash that sent tracy morgan to the i.c.u. the comedian screamed for help while the truck in its wreckage, he was stuck there. focus aimed at the truck driver after a road rant is posted on twitter. >> bowe bergdahl given the opportunity to talk to his parents for the first time on the phone since he was taken five years ago but he said you know what? i don't want to talk to them. we have the latest on his recovery and fallout from the prisoner swap straight ahead. >> a black belt to tae kwon

do won the miss u.s.a. pageant? why such an explosion? mornings are better with friends. watch. >> it's "fox & friends." >> it's really raining here in new york city today. >> good move, elisabeth. at the last minute said let's bring the show indoors. very good move, elisabeth. >> maria molina always does. >> she's back. >> she is back? >> daughtry, is he still here? >> no, i think he left the building. meanwhile, we've got other news for you. move or get hit. move or get hit. that's what a wal-mart driver posted on his twitter before smashing into tracy morgan's limo van. >> this is the comedian becomes more responsive but still in critical condition since the deadly saturday

phorpg crash on the -- saturday morning crash on the new jersey turnpike. >> let me tell you the latest. the truck driver had a previous twitter bio that read it's my road. move or get hit. for tracy morgan and his friends, those words haunting. morgan and friends were returning from a show in delaware when tragedy struck on the new jersey turnpike. officers say the impact killed morgan's good friend, critically injuring morgan and two others. morgan's limo driver recalls the frightening moments of that crash saying in an interview that he could hear morgan screaming for help but couldn't get to him. morgan is expected to remain hospitalized for several weeks after undergoing surgery on a broken leg. the "30 rock" star is

recovering from other injuries. the wal-mart truck driver charged by death by auto and assault. he was released on bail and due in court today. a spokesman for wal-mart says if their truck caused the accident wal-mart will take full responsibility. there-- the national transportation safety board is examining the crash to determine if the truck's safety issues are involved. last week the senate appropriations committee passed an amendment that suspends a requirement that deals with driver fatigue. meantime morgan's family says they are, quote, tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans. back to you guys. >> ainsley, thank you very much. was that his real twitter account or not?

>> in a limo you never wear seat belts. that is one place, when you're in a car like that for the most part you feel like you're safe. >> it is a big sprinter van. >> undoubtedly everyone was so much more aware of the roads around them. prayers indeed are what the family is asking for and we will send their way. >> four minutes after the top of the hour. we're learning more about bowe bergdahl's captivity as he recovers. there he is in the propaganda video released by the taliban a couple of days ago. apparently bowe bergdahl who is currently in germany at the medical hospital there recovering, he's been given the opportunity a number of times to talk to his parents. do you want to talk to your parents? no. he doesn't want to talk to them right now. that could be curious because shortly he's going to be transferred to a medical facility in san antonio, texas, where he will be reunited with his family. will he want to talk to them by then?

let's hope so. >> a tumultuous release for many in terms of whether the swap was worth it. plans for his return in his hometown were canceled. bergdahl did admit he was tortured by the taliban and kept in a cage after his attempt to escape is what his account is relaying right now. >> that was reported on friday, there was a customized cage. it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that he was tortured and it was horrific. there was a report on this channel that by the end of his captivity he was playing soccer with these guys and was able to carry a gun. who knows, after five and a half years of captivity, what you go through. i think it is disturbing to see -- and we'll talk about this later -- to see his unit that he was in attacked for telling everybody what it was like at that outpost. "the new york times" and some others said the

quality of that unit had nothing to do with what happened to bowe bergdahl. >> we've got a columnist who will be joining us about ten minutes from right now, talks about how just like we saw with benghazi, what's going on behind the scenes is the pentagon, the white house, state department are pressuring all these guys not to talk, had them sign nondisclosure acts and stuff like that. this guy, however, is talking. somebody else who is talking is john kerry. he was on cnn yesterday responding to, mr. kerry, you signed off on the release of these five guys. they are going to come back a year from now if not sooner and attack americans. secretary of state john kerry says that threat is baloney. >> i just think that's a lot of baloney. to whatever degree it may be true, they will wind up putting themselves at the mercy of those people who are very effective, who are there, who will deal with those matters. i'm not telling you that they don't have some ability at some point to go

back and get involved but they also have an ability to get killed doing that. >> meanwhile, he goes on -- i am very confused after listening to that interview. he goes on to say it doesn't matter; we're leaving any way. what are you talking about? if you think by us leaving and the taliban will come in and take over, it's not our problem anymore, that means for 13 years we fought a war to establish a government to allow people, girls to go to school, people have representative democracy, we're going to evacuate and think it will be over? we took their war council and put them back into action. 24 hours after their release, abdulla, there was an assassination against him, somebody we can count on. if you think that is unrelated, you have not been paying attention. you took five four-star generals and said you can go back in the fight. don't worry about them. i'm not saying they're going to come over to broadway and blow up a big building. what i'm trying to say is they are going to take out the city government.

no one is safe there. people in afghanistan are worried about it. >> two things here. you have the administration saying every soldier matters. yet, john kerry just saying we don't have that many people there left that would be threatened by these five top taliban officials who will be now released and probably then turn on them. that's what they want to do. they want to die maiming and killing americans. that's not a threat to them. >> absolutely not. plus you've got john kerry saying it's baloney. if those guys get out of line, we'll drone them. then senator dianne feinstein who has seen the intel -- >> you mean the democrat? >> yeah, she's the democrat from california who chairs that powerful committee, and she takes a shot at essentially pushes back at john kerry yesterday over on cbs. >> i heard john kerry this morning say, you know, don't worry about them in

doha. you can't help but worry about them in doha. and we have no information on how the united states is actually going to see that they remain in doha, that they make no comments, that they do no agitation. what's unfortunate is that i see no sign of the taliban relenting. >> for the chair of the intelligence committee in the senate not to have any idea, to have the same questions as anybody on the outside has is inexcusable. >> the same questions surrounding the condition of bergdahl. she thought he is not in dire condition as they initially stated. >> now the white house looks crazy because in the beginning they said we had to act right then because he was about to die. then they said he's in great shape. then they said we had to release him then because they were about to kill him.

no evidence of that either. let's see what the white house comes up with later today. >> let's wish heather nauert good morning. >> hi guys. we've got new information that came in overnight on that deadly las vegas shooting over the weekend. a married couple yelling "this is a revolution" as they gunned down two policemen at a pizza place in las vegas. police say the suspects ambushed these two officers, alyn beck and igor soldo as they were eating lunch. >> two officers with young families and a family of law enforcement who cares very, very much about them. >> police say the husband and wife then took the officers' guns, they walked across the street into a wal-mart store and killed one another before turning the gun on themselves. the motive for the deadly rampage is under investigation, but the suspects are believed to be white supremacists who allegedly planned on killing cops. we'll keep you posted on this as more information comes in.

the taliban claiming responsibility this morning for the deadly attack, a pakistan busy airport. the terrorists dressing up as police armed with machine guns and also a rocket launcher. they stormed an airport in karachi, pakistan, killing 18 people. the whole siege lasted five hours before police were finally able to gain control of the situation, killing all ten terrorists. the taliban saying the attack was retaliation after their chief was killed in a drone strike last year. back here at home, book tour, no problem. benghazi hearing? if there's time. hillary clinton says that she will have to wait to see if she'll testify in another benghazi hearing. the former secretary of state speaking to abc news while gearing up for that massive book tour. listen to them. >> going to testify? >> that's going to be up to the people running the hearing. i'm not going to say one way or the other. we'll see what they decide

to do, how they 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. >> last month house speaker john boehner announced that he was forming a new special committee to investigate those deadly attacks. we'll have to wait and see if she chooses to testify. meet your new miss u.s.a. >> and miss u.s.a. 2014 is nevada! >> she's beautiful. miss nevada, nia sanchez, she was crowned miss u.s.a. 2014. she is 24 years old, has a black belt in tae kwon do. she beat out miss north dakota but it was miss indiana who stole the spotlight on twitter. a lot of people said her

figure, she looks like a normal gal and twitter lit up with people talking about that figure. of course you guys have nothing to say about that? >> she looks very healthy. they loved her on twitter. >> thank you. >> 13 minutes after the top of the hour. on this rainy new york city monday. coming up, there's more to the bowe bergdahl prisoner swap than the white house is telling us. our next guest with a source at the pentagon says this is just like benghazi. he joins us live next. >> how does a high school student end up with a $240,000 sports car and $12 million home? a high-rolling scheme getting him in all kinds of trouble ahead. ♪ ♪ [announcer] play close-good and close. help keep teeth clean and breath fresh

the real bowe bergdahl story revealed. our guest says anonymous military officials said there is a bigger story in the media not reporting the real number of soldiers killed while searching for the sergeant and how far are the administration go into silence for former platoon members. expert and columnist bill robinson joins us today from the beautiful city of dallas. good morning to you, bill. >> good morning, steve. how are you? >> doing okay. let's start with the intimidation. who is being intimidated by whom? >> i received a call last sunday, sunday, june 1, from a man who identified himself as working for the pentagon. he told me that he had read my columns in the huffing ton post called "american hero stores" and he thought he could trust me. he told me that there was a bigger story that the american people needed to know, that the white house

in concert with the state department and the defense department, were orchestrating a campaign of threats and intimidation against not only the infantry men and the military men in afghanistan at the time, in 2009 when bowe bergdahl defected, but also against military officers and pentagon officers to keep silent about what really happened there. >> sure, because they didn't want the real story to get in the way of a really good photo op ultimately. and the real story has. one of the aspects is now we have heard, you know, we've heard a number of his platoon teammates say flatout the guy was a deserter. but we've also heard maybe six people were killed looking for him. your information is much different from that; isn't it? >> yes, it absolutely is. point number one is that both the soldiers that i spoke to and the pentagon official said that he was much more than just a

deserter. in other words, a deserter is typically somebody who shows cowardice in the face of enemy fire. they told me he was an out and out traitor. in other words, he was actively hating the united states of america. he was hating the u.s. army. he was talking about what fools his superior officers were and he thought he could do it better. he didn't just walk away. he actively went out and sought the enemy, and they said he was collaborating with the enemy during wartime. in terms of the brave soldiers that went out looking for this defector, they told me that many more people that were -- many more u.s. service men were killed. i took a look at the numbers because i think numbers don't lie, and in fact i found some really shocking numbers about the number of service men that were killed. bergdahl defected in july 2009. july 2, 2009. in the month prior, in

june, 24 u.s. service men were killed in afghanistan. just during july, after he defected on july 2, 44 were killed. it's an increase of 83% just in that one month since he defected. the following month 51 were killed. my sources were telling me that many more u.s. service men were killed as a result of looking for this traitor they said. >> all adds to the story that is finally coming out. bill robinson who writes a column at "the huffington post" with exclusive information. bill, thank you very much. it doesn't seem to get much better. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. there is an international manhunt underway for the man who used a helicopter to break out of prison. and get this, it's not the first time this has happened. he accidentally brought a toy gun to school and

this is exactly how we would expect him to handle it and he should be praised for that, not in trouble. >> it seems as though he did the honest thing there. darin, it seems to most people you stepped up when you realized you had that toy that wasn't supposed to be in school. i'm sorry you had to miss out on some things the last few days. keep us posted. we would love to know what happens with his school record. jennifer, let us know when you do; okay? >> thank you. i will. >> darin, thanks for getting up, bud. have a fun day, okay? >> okay. >> where's the reward in that? honesty. brings it to the teacher and he gets in trouble. coming up, check out this video. an out-of-control elevator skyrocketing to the roof with someone inside. how this happened. and from reality show to murder scene? a barmaid famous by the show "mob wives" in the middle of a murder investigation.

problem. you've got youngsters walking out of college today with 50, 60 thousand bucks worth of debt and they haven't got a job to pay that debt easily. you've got homeownership going down. that is an extraordinary thing in america. and one-third of the millenials, 20-somethings, living at home. you've not seen that before. student debt is a problem. this is how the president is going after it. >> $1.2 trillion student loan debt, 30 million americans owing that and you have income from a job that may not be there. >> if you pay 10% of your income for 20 years, on your student loan, your debt is forgiven. if you work for the government, ten years and your debt is forgiven. >> after 20 years and you still owe $50,000? >> forgiven. taxpayer pays. >> when can we see you on television? >> 11 a.m. eastern sharp. >> on the fox business network? >> that means the little

good morning. today is monday, june 9. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. new information this morning on the married couple that damaged two police officers and continued on a shooting spree. what we just learned about them coming up. and then one of the taliban leaders released from gitmo is now vowing to keep waging jihad on america. so what does john kerry think about that? >> i just think that's a lot of bologna. >> of course you do. why the administration downplaying terror. we're going to talk about that with donald trump. >> then meet your new miss usa. >> nevada! >> guess what? she could kick my butt. and steve's and joel's and

ian's. donald trump is in charge of that pageant and he joins us live with the details because according to all reports, mornings are better with friends. >> hi, everybody. stand by for the news. i love a guy who cracks himself am, like we do. we've got a very, very busy morning. we're going to talk to donald trump about the brand-new miss usa and a lot of news regarding what happened there in baton rouge last night. >> that's right. there was an official winner and then an unofficial winner. >> fan favorite. >> via twitter. meantime, heather nauert, always a winner to us and you have the headlines. >> great to see you. i've got new information coming in on the deadly shooting over the weekend in nevada. neighbors say they were some sort of militants who talked about conspiracy theories. we were talking about the married couple who yelled this is a revolution as they gunned

down two policemen at a las vegas pizza place. police say the suspects ambushed these officers, alan beck and igor solido as they ate their lunch. >> we have lost two officers with young families and a family of law enforcement who cares very, very much about them. >> so sad. police say the husband and wife then took the officers' gun, walked across the street into a wal-mart store and killed a shopper before they turned the guns on themselves. the motive for the deadly rampage is under investigation this morning. but the suspects are believed to be white supremists who planned on killing police. the pakinstani taliban is claiming responsibility this morning for a deadly attack on pakistan's busiest airport. the terrorists dressing up as police, armed with rocket launchers and stormed the airport, killing at least 38

people. take take a look at this video. you can just see the flames coming out of that airport. this massive siege lasting at least five hours before police were finally able to gain control of the situation, killing all ten terrorists. the taliban saying the attack was retaliation after their chief was killed in a drone strike last year. we'll keep watching that story. back here at home, book tour, no problem. benghazi hearing? if there is time. hillary clinton saying that she'll have to wait to testify to see if she wants to testify in another benghazi hearing. the former secretary of state speaking to abc news while she gears up for her massive book tour. listen to this. >> are you going to testify? >> well, that's going to be up to the people running the hearing. i'm not going to say one way or the other. we'll see what they died to do, how they conduct themselves, whether or not this is one more

travesty about the loss of four americans. >> last month john boehner announced he was forming a new special committee to investigate. meese your new miss usa. >> and miss usa 2014 is nevada! >> that is lee i -- leah sanche, 24. she has a black belt in taekwondo and she beat out the first runner up, miss north dakota. that's where maria molina was. she was out there. >> she was? >> yeah. >> doesn't she look a little like maria? >> a little bit. but mar why could have won. >> we got her here. we're winners because every monday morning, donald trump joins us wherever he is and this morning he wakes up at trump national in miami after a busy

night in baton rouge. good morning to you, mr. trump. >> good morning. >> so tell us about 24-year-old miss sanchez, a fourth degree black belt taekwondoer. >> well, i'll tell you, i will not mess around because she's tough. she's a great champion in a lot of ways. she's a great fighter. but the place really liked her. they went crazy. i heard they announced they entwhistle absolutely crazy when we announced her. i think she'll be very popular and very good. they had a lot of great people there last night. and baton rouge, louisiana, was amazing. >> who were your judges? >> i had a lot of judges. we had one in particular, carl malone, the basketball player. he was something else. we had ian zearing. >> rumor willis. >> we had a past winner. that's right. ruler willis, who was very nice. i guess her sister got a lot of

publicity lately. i didn't get that. i don't get that, but that's all right. >> she forgot to put on a shirt. >> mr. trump, you came out with two weaponners because miss indiana was all over twitter. everyone loved her normal body. is it mckayla adala? >> yes, they did. they liked her a lot. i don't know when they say normal body, her body looked awful good to me. i don't know what you're defining normal bad. but people were defining her normal body. oh, look, it's normal. to me, it looked very good. i'm sure it did to steve and brian. >> it still looks normal, even the next day. >> because people were saying, unlike a lot of beauty queen, she wasn't starving herself to get stick thin. she just looked normal. >> that might be nice. that's a very healthy person. >> i think it's a good thing to show you, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and all sizes look great to me. >> that's true. it was a great contest. >> one of the other things do you is make dealsiving,

whether it's big or small deals, whether tv or a building deal or real estate deal. could we talk about the deal that the secretary of state, john kerry talked about, which is he says it's a great move, this five for one swap for bowe bergdahl. where do you stand with that? >> well, i think it's sort of the worst deals i've ever seen. i think it will come back to haunt us. i tweeted yesterday that this is a deal that was made by people that know nothing, our people. it's a deal that will come back to haunt the united states at some point as sure as you're sitting there, this is one that will come back at us. it's a shame. sometimes you can make a mistake. look, the obama administration, the mistakes they've been making are so many and so deep and so stupid, and every week we have one. just goes on and on and on. it's going to keep going on and on. >> donald, don't worry about it, though. even though one of these guys has been released, he's already said i'm going to go and try to kill as many people as i can. forget about that.

john kerry says that's propaganda and he says that terrorist threat is, well, bologna. listen. >> i just think that's a lot of bologna because whatever degree it may be true, they will wind up putting themselves at the mercy of those people who are very effective, who are there, who will deal with those matters. i'm not telling you that they don't have some ability at some point to go back and get involved. but they also have an ability to get killed doing that. >> if we need to, we'll go down them. >> it's interesting because i'm pretty good at deals and deal making and i look at those people and making deals is all about people. and those are five smart, vicious people. you look at those faces. you see smart, tough -- these people aren't going away. they're coming back and maybe stronger than ever. we got ourselves a problem. it's crazy. what did we do it for? if he won the congressional medal of honor, we shouldn't

have made the deal. you just -- if you're a soldier, you have to realize that's the way it is and you have to be proud of it. you can't do this. you can't deal in terrorism. so what happens is if he won, if he were this great incredible soldier who was takenly taken out of the base and didn't walk off and desert, because he was a deserter. but to be a deserter and to make this deal is shocking. now they're saying oh, well, it didn't matter if he was a deserter or not, makes no difference, he's our soldier and we have to get him back. what a lot of nonsense. the guy was a deserter. now, it will be interesting to see. every one of the people that worked with him -- i've never seen anything like this. i was watching kelly at your show and she was great. she had the kids that really knew him and his platoon. it was unanimous. this wasn't even the first time. he was whacked out. you look at the father come on and the whole thing with the father, when i first saw the

father, i mean, perhaps we don't say, i look and say, what's going on over here? >> mr. trump, and to compound the issue here, you have the "new york times" slamming the platoon, saying they made it too easy for him to walk off. it was concluded the platoon suffered from lack of security in the period before sergeant bergdahl disappeared. i mean, they're going after the guys that he was with, who stayed there on their post. your reaction? >> well, my reaction is it's not even conceivable. this was a guy who left. he wasn't a good guy. people were killed trying to find him, that's obvious. over a period of time, they kept looking, they kept looking. at least six people were killed. and it's shocking. it's shocking. it's shocking that it continues to go. at some point, doesn't the administration and wouldn't they be better served, instead of saying that sebelius did a great

job with the web site and the v.a. saying it's going great and the general was fantastic, wouldn't they be better off saying they made a mistake? >> you know what? i was thinking about it, the president last week, just before bergdahl was -- after he was released, he went from the rose garden and the next thing you know, he goes to europe. you got to figure, because this white house is all about optics, the president was probably planning about going to germany, posing with bergdahl, the hero in a hospital gown, oh, look, he brought him back. >> i think nobody checked this kid's file. i think what happened is -- 'cause they can't be that stupid. they can't be stupid enough to think that here is a deserter -- now, one of the five -- this is just one of the five was so vicious and so violent that they had a deal going last year and they wouldn't allow him out because they checked him out. one of the five people that we gave up that's supposed to be now so innocent. but he was so violent that they had a deal worked out three

years ago, another deal with something out, but it's like trading baseball cards. they couldn't let him go because he was so violent that they couldn't do it. now all of a sudden he can go, he's going to be great. no, these are killers. they're smart, tough leaders and killers and we got back for it a traitor. what's going to happen? are we going to try him when he gets back? is he going to go to trial? is he going to be tried by a tribunal of military? only our country, what's going on with our country is inconceivable. this can only happen in our country and we're a laughing stock all over the world. >> i just cannot believe we put those five people back into afghanistan to take on the government. we've done everything to support for the last 13 years. i don't care if he's decorated veteran or a deserter, i just think we can not give up those five for anybody because it throws the whole war effort up for grabs.

>> a decorated veteran would not have allowed a thing like this to take place. i'm staying and maybe dying. but i'm looking now at the stage, at the set, and i'm looking at those five faces. those five people, or at least some of them, will come back to haunt this country in a very, very big way. and what did we get out of it? a bad guy. we got a traitor. >> we understand why his family wanted him back. but now let's see what happens. will it be adjudicated? stand by. donald trump joins us every monday at this time, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> bye. straight ahead, a tired truck driver blamed for putting tracy morgan in the hospital and killing one of his friends. but our next guest says that won't stop him from doing it again. why tired truck drivers and drivers are getting a big break from the law. >> why did sandra bullock call the law? ♪

welcome back. comedian tracy morgan recovering from surgery this morning after being seriously injured in a car crash in a new jersey turnpike. tracy morgan has a broken nose, leg and ribs. of two his friends were also hurt. one was killed. over the weekend prosecutors filed charges against this wal-mart truck driver. they say kevin roper caused the crash after he fell asleep behind the wheel. it is a problem that is more common than you actually think. jane most her son in a similar crash in 2004 and now she's an advocate for tougher standards on trucks. jane, we want to thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you, elisabeth. it's good to be here. >> certainly this brings up a lot of emotion, i can imagine,

as you lost your son, david, in 2004 to something similar. what happened that day? >> well, march 25, 2004, my son, david and his new wife, mary katherine forbes, were going back to saint augustine on i-95 from their honeymoon cruise. they just arrived back that morning in port canaveral. there was a lot of traffic on i-95 and due to a crash farther north, the entire roadway turned into a parking lot. so they were stopped. a truck driver -- this was about 10:00 o'clock in the morning. perfect visibility, no rain, there was no reason why he couldn't see this stoppage of the traffic. he just ran into the back of david's car and he and mary katherine were killed at the scene. apparently when he left the -- the truck driver left the truck, he said, what happened, what happened? and after a lot of

investigation, the only reasonable explanation was that the gentleman had fallen asleep at the wheel. this is a very common problem. i think that for over 7 years it's been an obvious problem. unfortunately it's not measurable like alcohol or drugs. so a lot of it is a subjective observation or if they admit it. interestingly enough, the federal motor carrier safety administration did do a poll of truck drivers with regard to fatigue issues and 65% of the truck drivers actually said that they had felt sleepy at some point overt past year and over 50% admitted that they had fallen asleep behind the wheel at some point in that last year. >> you hear that 50% and it's startling. no one should have to suffer the loss that you suffered or anyone else.

can this be regulated? i understand drivers, the incentive is get distance, so what can be done? >> there are different regulations, federal regulations there is an hour of service rule which defines how many hours truck drivers are allowed to drive. currently it's 11 hours in a 14 hour workday. and this ends up being about 70 hours a week. okay? well, that in itself -- >> it's impossible. >> absolutely beyond human capabilities. and unfortunately, there are a lot of drivers, getting back to the incentive to drive longer and farther, that go way past those hours of service. so that's when we have even worst crashes. >> absolutely. jane, we want to thank you for bringing this message. it's an important one. our hearts remain with you and there is more to be done moving forward. thank you. >> thank you so much.

today as lawmakers demand more answers surrounding bowe bergdahl's release. our next guest will attend that and has questions. joining us is adam kinsinger. welcome back. >> thank you. >> let's tap into your knowledge as a law maker and military guy. what questions do you have? >> i've got a lot of questions. first, i spent all week listening to the administration say we're a country that never leaves their people behind. we'll never leave you behind. that's all well and good, except when i went through survival training, we talked about the issue of being left behind. it was pretty much an understanding that as long as you don't leave your country hyped, your country will never leave you behind. so that said, we all know the questions around bowe bergdahl and the deserter status. why was it important to release five of the highest ranking opposition and taliban in order to get his release? what were you trying to accomplish? why did all of the intel community basically say no and why were they not consulted?

there is a range of questions that exist here of which i think we need a lot of answers to. one thing i have to ask, did they get assurance from the taliban and from al-qaeda that the war on terror was over, because they're sure moving as if the war is over and in 2017, we're all going to hold hands and everybody will want to hold hands with us and that's just not the case. >> i'm going to paraphrase here, but john kerry says don't worry about it, to go back to the fight, because we'll have 5,000. then we'll have nobody there. but is he missing the point? didn't you guys fight for the right to get rid of the taliban and put a representative government in place so that does not have an adherence to al-qaeda? does that matter at all whether we're there or not? >> how many troops did we have in afghanistan on september 11, 2001? we didn't have many. what happened is, look, as much as we like to think the world just wants to sit around with us and sing kumbaya, there are people who wake up every day

whose intention it is to kill americans and the reason it hasn't happened in the last few years is because we've been fighting them in their holes. when we talk about leaving afghanistan and the administration brags about ending two wars instead of what it means for national security, this will come back on our shores. we're going to roo the day that we made the decision that the war on terror is over because they don't think it's over yet. >> massood was the leader of the northern alliance. he seems to be the next leader if we were to help out and get rid of the taliban and he was set to take over. bin laden knew that. they kill him before they take down our towers. abdullah abdullah worked with massood and is about to take over. guess what they tried to do over the weekend? kill him before he could take over. >> that's right. this is a serious situation and look, i don't understand why the president said we have to be out in 2017. if killing and capturing al-qaeda is a good mission in 2016, it should be a good mission in 2017. we're sending all the wrong messages that we're in a hurry to get out.

we'll give the taliban whatever they want to get somebody who is a deserter back. this hurts my heart because there is a lot of people that have given so much on behalf of their country in afghanistan and iraq to have a president that's more interested in having a legend of ending two wars instead of what's good for this country. >> 's amazing. did we compromise the mission for one person, whether he's the best soldier or the worst soldier, does that not matter, 'cause you put the five members of the war council back in action, if not now n a year or so. >> and they're going to go back, even when they end up in afghanistan, they're going to go back with legendary status as the survivors of gitmo and they're going to lead troops into combat against american troops, yes, but also against the afghan people. the 350,000 afghan soldiers that are armed and taking it to the taliban every day and to al-qaeda every day, and the afghan people, 85% of which reject the ideology of the taliban and support the united

states of america. they now have their five worst enemies again. >> congressman, i look to talk to you again in the aftermath of the meeting today and the briefing and say what you can. appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, students gave him the surprise of his life. the janitor in this photo joins us live with a special gift that completely took him off guard. first on this date in 1962, tony bennett made his concert debut in carnegie hall. in in 1983, irene cara had the number one song in america, it's flashdance "what a feeling." make it louder. ♪ ♪

time for the answer to the aflac trivia yes. michael j. fox. congratulationses to ed miller from champagne, illinois. he'll get a copy of brian's book "george washington's secret book". when a high school janitor in kentucky was called in to the auditorium because there was a spill at a pep rally, the last thing he expected was to pick up a trash bag full of money. >> that's right. the students and staff at anderson county high school collected $1,900 for their janitor, rickey spalding, so he and his wife could travel to italy to see their new little granddaughter whom they had never met. joining us now with this amazing story is rickey spalding himself. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> so we understand that your son is serving over on a tour for the navy and you have a two-month-old little grand baby

girl that you haven't seen. you walk into this gym, they call you and say what? there is a spill and then what happened? >> they said there was a spill and, of course, i grabbed my mop and floor sign and here i go, walking into the gym and think, great, i have to go in front of all these people. and in the front of the gym was a trash can full of dollar bills, $20 bills loaded with money. >> are those the ones on your shirt right now. >> no, no. my son made this shirt for me, jordan. >> and when did you realize what was happening, that the students rallied for your cause? >> i was oblivious to anything that was going on. my main concern was picking that spill up as quickly as possible. >> it turns out there was cash and we're look at some of your many friends at that particular school. did you have any inkling that the kids had decided to try to make this dream come true so you

could go see your new granddaughter? >> i had no idea. the outpouring and generosity and the support of the staff has been overwhelming. on friday at our school, the teachers can pay a dollar and wear jeans on friday. they said, we wanted to do something for you. so i was expecting maybe 75, 80 bucks at the most. then when the students found out about it, they wanted to get involved because they appreciate me, i guess that much, for some reason. i don't know why. >> they sure do. >> they kicked in and lo and behold, $1,900 later, it was unbelievable. >> fantastic. rickey, when are you going to go to italy to see your family? >> well, we're in the planning stages right now. we're filling out paperwork for passports. i know that takes time. flights are normally cheap in the winter time. so maybe in november, december

time frame. >> rickey, we thank your son for his service and we're so glad that sooner rather than later, you'll have that grand baby girl in your arms. >> thank you for having me and thank you for showing the story. >> you bet. by the way, there is a spill over in the corner of the studio. >> i'll be right there. >> thanks so much. coming up straight ahead on our show. >> hillary clinton speaking out this morning about her role in the benghazi attacks, passing the buck to the people she hired. bret baier is live with reaction from dc. then a sporting event like no other. we heard down the father father-bam -- florida-alabama yu coast for the mullet toss. i'm sold!

normal. >> that's a good normal. >> we all hope to be this normal. mornings are better with friends. float our pictures. >> hi, this is joel osteen. you're watching "fox & friends." good morning. >> he was smiling when he said that. >> 37, 38, 39, 40 seconds later, here is bret baier from our nation's capitol. >> good morning. >> bret, what is the house going to do today behind closed doors regarding mr. bergdahl? >> they're going to get a briefing and they're going to get a briefing about the process, about the decision making. it's not clear how many house members are going to show up. this is the dly back into town. so we'll see how many are actually here. but this continues this discussion that the administration is having about all the process behind this trade. >> sure. there is a lot of concern about the release of the five taliban members here. high ranking officials, some

said so get out there, they want to get out there and retaliate again. john kerry said this trade, though many seem to think it's bad deal and unsafe for america, he says the threat by the terrorist is bologna. take a listen to this. >> i just think that's a lot of bologna because whatever degree it may be true, they will wind up putting themselves at the mercy of those people who are very effective, who are there who will deal with those matters. i'm not telling you that they don't have some ability at some point to go back and get involved. but they also have an ability to get killed doing that. >> i heard john kerry this morning say don't worry about them in doha. you can't help but worry about them in doha. and we have no information on how the united states is actually going to see that they remain in doha, that they make no commence, that they do no

agitation. what's unfortunate is that i see no sign of the taliban relenting. >> there it is, bret. you have the democratic chairman of the senate intelligence committee still with more questions than answers to our secretary of state, same party. >> yeah. to her credit, senator feinstein has been very forth coming on this very the very beginning in her concerns about the deal, number one; about congress not being informed, number two. and about the fact that these guys are not just the average run of the mill taliban. these are senior leaders who actually had real deep ties to al-qaeda. and they have a history in the past, before they were captured, of plotting against the u.s. and u.s. national interests abroad. so the concerns about being in doha, qatar, are real. the secretary of state was asked whether they would be at risk to u.s. troops in afghanistan.

his answer kind of morphed around the u.s. won't be there. so we won't be in the way to be able to get attacked by these guys, or to be able to protect the government that is there, that was kind of hoping they would have some type of role and security. >> bret, let's go from the current secretary of state to the former secretary of state, hillary clinton, who is very busy. it's clinton practicelo. >> a. she sits down with diane sawyer and diane source asks her if there is anything personally she could have done to make the u.s. mix there safer and it sounds like the former secretary of state throws her staff under the bus. listen. >> what i did was give very direct instructions that the people who have the expertise and experience in security. i am not equipped to sit and

look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be or where the reinforcements need to be. that's why we hire people who have that expertise. >> so she's not -- even though she has said in the past she's taken responsibility for it, there, very clearly, she's saying, look, i hired people to take care of security. >> yeah, sure. and the other question is whether she's going to show up for this hearing that possibly could be coming from the benghazi committee. she said she'll have to wait and see. i think the answer there suggests that this is an evolving answer on the security beforehand. you're right, previously she said she took full responsibility. i think she's getting more granular as the questions are getting more specific about this. just point out that while four people were named in the state department, no one was actually fired for the presecurity situation. >> only the whistle blower seems to be having a hard time, mr. hicks. bret, you're going to sit down with her to talk about her book

and we're going to help you out because on our facebook pages, what question would you have bret ask hillary, and for a fee, we'll provide some of the better questions so it can be handled interoffice. >> fantastic. something tells me i'll have many of those. it's actually the of two us. it's greta van susteren and we're interviewing for half an hour. >> how is that going to work? do you start at 6:45 and you talk and then at 7:00 o'clock she starts talking? >> no, i think we're going to break it up in between. we haven't worked out the logistics yet. we're watching these other interviews closely to come up with ideas. but we'll take all of those. we have to negotiate the fee. >> it's free. no fee. >> i want to talk about something else. your book, by the way, so many comments from people that we pass by saying hey, it's having a special effect on them and their families. a lot of stories just like yours. how is the book doing?

>> it's been great. you know what's been really great is going around the country at these book signings. my wife and i, sitting this and these folks come up and tell us their story about something. it doesn't have to be a kid with a heart problem, but anything. and some of them break down at the signings and talk to us about whatever. it's just been really wonderful. if i just had one of those fathers -- i had one guy still with a hospital what happened on and his daughter was -- band on and his daughter was getting ready for surgery. if i had one of those fathers, it made this book worth it. >> it's a great story. thanks so much. >> thanks. 7 minutes after the top of the hour. heather, how are you doing there? do you have some headlines? >> yeah. coming out of las vegas. a follow-up on a story we brought you over the weekend. that deadly shooting rampage that happened in las vegas. neighbors now describedescribing the two militants.

husband and wife yelling this is a revolution as they gunned down two police officers. the two officers were ambushed while they ate lunch at a pizza place. >> we have lost two officers with young families and a family of law enforcement who cares very, very much about them. >> police say that the couple took the officers' guns and then walked across the street and into a wal-mart store where they killed a shopper before they turned the guns on themselves. the motive is still under investigation, but the suspects are believed to be white supremacists who had planned on killing cops. listen to this one, move or get out. that is what the wal-mart driver, kevin roper, had allegedly written on his twitter profile before smashing into tracy morgan's limo van over the weekend. his now locked twitter account tweeted an apology after the crash and it read, my daddy is sorry for what happened. please forgive him, tracy morgan. but wal-mart says that he

doesn't have a twitter account at all. this unfolding as doctors say the comedian becomes more responsive, but still in critical condition at the hospital. morgan suffering broken ribs, a broken nose, broken leg, and a broken femur. he underwent surgery on his leg yesterday, a day after that deadly crash on saturday morning on the new jersey turnpike. morgan's good friend, james mcnair, was killed in the crash on the turnpike. charges due later today. a first grader in pennsylvania suspended after telling his teacher that he accidentally brought a toy gun to school in an extra backpack that he had at home. even though 7-year-old darren told the truth to the school, he was suspended because the school's policy. darren's mother joined us earlier on "fox & friends." elisabeth spoke to them. the mother said this policy sets a bad precedent. >> definitely sending the wrong message to kids, that telling

the truth will get you in trouble and get you suspended from school in telling the truth in a situation like this. i think the way he handled this was exactly the way we would expect him to handle it. he should be praised for that. >> darren is just 7 years old. he's got a little thing in his ear so he could hear elisabeth's question. kind of uncomfortable to wear. his mother is hoping to have the incident wiped from his record. he just told the truth. it was a night of surprises at the tony awards. check this out. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> that's the host, hugh jackman, l.l. cool jay and ci opening a rap from "the musicman," honoring all the way with the best play" a

mitt romney and now he's entering the ring himself as virginia's republican nominee for the u.s. senate. so what's his strategy for helping the republicans take back the white house and perhaps the senate as well? coming up shortly, joining us is virginia senate nominee ed gillespie, joining us from charlottesville. good morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me on. >> congratulations, your nomination over the weekend. on politico, they have a headline, how gillespie could pull off an upset. coming out of the convention, obviously you're very excited, but mark warner has in the past been very popular. how are you going to knock him off? >> i think it's a matter of voters knowing his record, which has not been good for virginia or for the country. all of his votes have resulted in higher prices for energy, for skyrocketing health care costs, for lost jobs and lower take home pay. voted for nearly a trillion

dollars in tax increases, $7 trillion in debt. mark warner supports cap and trade legislation and carbon tax and of course he not only voted for the affordable care act, but helped round up votes for it. i would take a different approach and i hadle put forward policies to create jobs and foster economic growth and upward mobility and help lift people out of poverty and we need that right now in our economy. the fact is by historic standards, this is a very, very weak recovery. in fact, negative 1% growth, not growth, but full 1 percentage shrinkage in our economy last quarter. >> sure. when you look at just the president's popularity across the country, he's not that popular these days. his approval ratings are way down. that ultimately is not going to help mr. warner and ultimately it could help you. >> there is no doubt about that, steve. the fact is senator warner, despite having told virginiaans he would be an independent voice for us in washington, d.c., surgeons out he has voted with

president obama 97% of the time. i can't find the 3% where he didn't, by the way. and so we don't need in the united states senate from virginia a blank check for president obama. we need a check and balance on this administration and on president obama and that's what i would be -- i would not support the president's policies down the line and harry reid down the line as mark warner had and winning here will all but guarantee that republicans would get control of the united states senate for the last two years of the obama presidency and that would be important in terms of a check and balance on this administration. >> ed, before you go, i want to you weigh in on the bowe bergdahl situation where the white house did the terrorist trade, five for one. i understand the family want to go get their guy back. we never leave a guy behind, that's absolutely right. now it looks like he could be adjudicated. they're going to figure it out. but people are going, wait a minute. we just let out five of the worst of the worst.

what's your headline from this deal? >> well, like you said, obviously happy for the family, but a lot of questions as you mentioned about this in terms of sergeant bergdahl and how he ended up in captivity. but there is no question that there is a very dangerous policy being set here in terms of the willingness to exchange and have the taliban say these are the five leaders that we want to turn them over in exchange for an american, i think obviously makes it much more dangerous for our troops in the field now. frankly for our diplomatic corp. and really any american traveling abroad, the risk has gone up considerably as a result of this ne this administration. >> it is a head scratcher. all right. ed gillespie joining us today
