>> #ditch the rules to find out more about the farming families. hello, everybody. this is it fox news alert. five people are dead including these two policemen gunned down in a ambush in a restaurant in las vegas. the suspects gunned down an innocent bystander before taking their own lives. investigators call it a apparent murder-suicide pact. i'm martha maccallum here at america's news room. >> i'm eric shawn in for bill hemmer this morning. this tragedy began with the cold-blooded murders of those two metro police officers. the suspects shooting the officers as they ate lunch. they walked across the street police say to a walmart where they opened fire killing another

person before killing themselves. >> they had a backpack. and i saw guns in their hands. he told me to that it was a revolution and he had killed two cops. >> correspondent adam housley live in los angeles with the details. adam, have we learned about a motive of the supposed revolution they shouted? >> reporter: eric, we're hearing more of a motive with more details coming out. the police department in las vegas is expected to have a press conference to talk more about the details. i tell you this, a married couple in their 20s said to be militant according to neighbors. they were inside these cici's pizza. they opened fire on officers. the first officer was refilling his soft drink when the female shooter, the female walked up from behind, shot him in the head, killing him instantly. she shot the other officer several times as he drew his pistol. he returned fire.

they don't believe she was hit. woe later sadly die in surgery. >> all of sudden you hear like some, shots go off. i heard like two. and then all of sudden you hear people screaming run, this and that. somebody is shooting. what precipitated this event, we do not know. my officers were simply having lunch. when the shooting started. >> reporter: they would go do a walmart nearby. they would shoot an innocent woman inside the door. we're told there may have been another person there who was an innocent bystander who had a gun and may have returned fire. details coming out. officially inside the store they yelled everybody to get out. we're told the female shooter shot the other, her man, the husband, and shot herself, killing them both inside of that store, eric. >> so tragic. adam, officer beck was a 13-year veteran we understand. what else can you tell us about the victims.

>> this was incredibly sad. he was a 13-year veteran. he also had three children. the other officer had a young child as well. we're learning more about them. you can see them there. two very well-respected officers on the force. beck was 41 years old. soldo was 31. he ought officer skills training at academy. he had a wife and a baby. both were uniformed patrol officers assigned to northeast area command. completely ambushed for no apparent reason whatsoever at all. there are reports coming in too, eric, everything from one of those "don't tread on me" flags may have been laid over one of the officers. there are reports that the gunman may have taken their badges and weapons before they left the cice's pizza. it is a very difficult situation as you might imagine in vegas. we expect to hear more in the next hour or two from las vegas metro police, eric.

>> adam, so shocking. thanks so much. martha. martha: the other big story of the day as we get new reports that sergeant bowe bergdahl was given opportunities to talk to his parents but so far he has refused to have a conversation with his parents. bergdahl still recovering in germany. we're learning a lot of new details about his years in captivity. "the wall street journal" reports he was tortured while there. at time he was kept in a cage after trying to escape. steve hayes, joins us, senior writer for "weekly standard" and fox news contributor. good morning to you. >> good morning, martha. martha: it is troubling as everybody who witnessed the rose garden ceremony would probably agree there has been no attempt on his part to speak to his parents as of right now. >> it is troubling but somewhat understandable and it is not really out of character who have been subject to this kind of lengthy captivity if you go back look at other cases. the adjustment coming back, not even into american society but

just into the landstuhl regional medical center and talking to interrogators is sufficient an abrupt culture change from the experience he had over the past five years, you talk to people who work in this area, they say they are not entirely surprised that he has not chosen to make contact with his folks. martha: a culture shock the likes of which none of us can completely comprehend. >> right. martha: another big issue came up with a reuters reporter over the weekend himself was held six months by the taliban and he was cautious, urging caution in terms of how people approach this story. here is what he adhad to say on the sunday shows. >> really important to sort of wait and get the facts here. a lot of reporting on this story has been way off and we need to sort of hear from bowe bergdahl what happened that night. on another note i still today, five years later feel tremendous regret for going to an interview with the taliban, getting kidnapped what i put my family

through. whatever cause bowe bergdahl to walk off the base, did he have a mental breakdown, he will regret this the rest of his life i guaranty you. martha: insightful comments. what do you think about, that steve. >> he is right to urge caution about jumping to conclusion exactly what motivated bowe bergdahl. there are so many conflicting stories what he had done in the lead-up to his disappearance, what he had done subsequently. we can say his platoon mates were justified in their concerns about the fact he may have been a enemy collaborator. the initial reports they heard that he was walked away from the base and that he sought out the taliban, which at the very least is suggestive. now that's a far different thing than saying bowe bergdahl was a collaborator or willing collaborator. may have been the case he left and went on purpose and sought out the taliban and had some pie-in-the-sky notions brokering

a peace deal and was held captive. there is so much we don't know that i think it is best to research judgment on a lot of big questions. i expect there will be a court-martial proceeding that will at least help us answer some of these questions. martha: yeah. we'll see. steve, thank you very much. good to see you. >> you bet. thanks, martha. >> martha, there are new interesting details coming out about the access, that we're told bowe bergdahl's parents received during his captivity. the white house reportedly allowing bob and joanie bergdahl to join secure military conferences with senior military commanders starting in 2009 right after their son was captured. a former state department official calls that access, quote, ridiculous. saying it should never have happened. no word whether the bergdahls were given security clearance or any classified topics discussed during those apparent calls. brit hume will be live coming up

during the next hour. martha: reminds us the tweet mr. bergdahl that he sent out taken down, that he was working to free all of the gitmo prisoners. we know those top five were released as part of this. raise as question how much influence the bergdahl's had over the process and what kind of lobbying if you could use that word on their own behalf, which a parent can understand but whether or not that was appropriate how all of this was worked out. brit hume has a lot of thoughts. >> we'll hear what he has to say especially at the photo-op with the parents at the white house rose garden. martha: terror attack at pakistan's busiest airport. the taliban taking responsibility for a five-hour as a result that left 18 people dead. pakistani officials describe taliban gunmen, some disguising themselves as police guards, setting off explosions and opening fire at the airport in karachi. the taliban sparking attack by killing of one of their leaders by a u.s. drone attack.

the taliban in pakistan is vowing more attacks as a result. >> now to the situation involving actor and comedian tracy morgan. he remains in critical condition in a new jersey hospital this morning after he was involved in that six-car pileup that did kill one person and critically injured two others. rick leventhal live in the newsroom with the very latest. rick, anymore news about what happened during the crash? >> reporter: eric the driver of the 18 wheeler who allege ledly caused this fiery and fatal crash, kevin roper is charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. he is expected in court after posting 50,000-dollar bond. there is questions about a twitter account. morgan was in great spirits friday piling into his bus after a packed show at a casino in dover, delaware. the ride was cut short when police say a walmart truck rear-ended the bus on new jersey turnpike, spinning it and

flipping it several times. morgan's friend and mentor, 62-year-old james mcnair was killed in the crash. morgan and two others badly hurt. listed in critical condition at robert wood johnson hospital in new brunswick, new jersey. a spokesman for morgan released a statement sunday saying he has been more responsive day which is an incredibly encouraging sign. he sustained ad number of injuries including a broken leg, broken femur, broken nose and several broken ribs. he had surgery earlier today on his leg. we expect him to remain in the hospital for several weeks. there are reports that driver fatigue may have played a role. ironically last week a senate committee passed anment that would suspend truckers rest 34 consecutive hours before beginning their work week. they may take another look at that, eric. >> especially after this. what was the tweet and what account was it from. >> "new york daily news" found an account for kevin roper and drives trucks for walmart. it is my road, move or get hit.

tweet from account posted on saturday said, my daddy is sorry for what happened. please forgive him@real tracy morgan. friend confirmed the account belongs to roper the truck driver. walmart says roper does not have any involvement in social media. we do know he is expected in court to answer charges for the accident. >> we hope tracy morgan has a speedy recoverly along with the others. thank you, rick. >> reporter: sure. martha: critics say trading five top taliban commanders for sergeant bowe bergdahl makes americans less safe but secretary of state john kerry disagrees. >> our combat role in afghanistan is over. we're going to have very few people in that kind of position on occasion where, but, i honestly, i just think that's a lot of baloney. martha: is it baloney as secretary kerry says? kt mcfarland joins us on that

martha: investigators are looking into what triggered a explosion that leveled a restaurant in detroit. the blast tore through jack's coney island on the city's west side leaving all but a charred shell. thankfully nobody was inside. a local company is dig up the power around gas lines to see if there could have been a leak that caused that explosion. >> what do you say to the families of american soldiers that perhaps these guys could go back and kill americans again? >> i just think that's a lot of baloney to be truthful with you. to whatever degree it may be true they will wind up putting themselves at mercy of those people who are very effective who are there he r, who will

deal with those matters. eric: secretary of state john kerry is defending the controversial prisoner swap for army sergeant bowe berg deal, dismissing claims that freeing those five top level terrorists will put lives of u.s. soldiers overseas in danger. house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers and others don't buy that. >> this was the wrong message at the wrong time and we'll pay for this decision for years. this should not be about did congress get invited to the party this is about honest discussion about ramifications. >> you're very clear -- eric: kt mcfarland, former assistant secretary of defense for the reagan administration and fox news national security analyst joins us this morning. kt, ba -- loan any, huh? >> baloney, of course the united states military are not at risk. we're not leaving bases. we're ending combat role. we'll be there in two more years as training role. what does that mean. they don't go out of their

bases. those bases are pretty secure places. you know who is at risk now? the aid workers, americans gone over to be school teachers to teach afghan girls how to read. american doctors and nurses to work in hospitals. the americans that will show the afghans how to grow soybeans. those those people who never had adequate security other than the american military to start with. they are on a shoestring budget. they have a big x on their backs and big price on their head. eric: there are a lot of heroes who don't have military protection. look at taliban at the pakistan airport. they're claiming responsibility for that. what will stop the five years going back into operational control? >> we seen in the past gitmo grabs have been released they have gone back to join the fight. if we do this, start releasing gitmo prisoners. we have a lot of drones. we should put a drone, 24/7 for the rest of their natural lives

hovering over each one of these gitmo taliban grabs. the minute they join the fight, minute they step out of line, waste them. eric: that is great idea. they will never do that. >> why not? eric: they can't watch these guys. can't be on top of them 24/7. they will not even have ankle bracelets. >> they should have something. not only will they join the fight to kill americans, the symbolism to anybody who has been in this long twilight war, guess what, you wait long enough the americans will give up. eric: you talk about symbolism, look what john cashin of "the chicago tribune" wrote. when bergdahl left, some stayed an die. president wants to stand with the president that we don't leave our people behind. sent national security advisor susan rice on sunday talk shows to speak in heroic terms. this is the same susan rice that went on sunday talk show before the election to lie about what triggered the attack in benghazi. we left people behind there,

four americans and four seals that called for help that never game. is there inconsistency here? >> of course this is hypocrisy in the extreme. not only did we leave them behind. we did not rescue our americans under fire we had no adequate protection to start with. every time i see susan rice go on sunday talk show somebody should have alarm bells to go off. somehow she always seems to step in a hornets nest. eric: k. thank you for your analysis this morning as always. martha? martha: we were talking about this big question now, what are those former gitmo detainees doing in qatar right now? amy kellogg is there with the latest. she is live from qatar. plus this. >> oh, my god. eric: this high school student, wow, what a surprise of a lifetime. right on stage at her high school graduation ceremony. we'll have the heart-are warming inspiring story straight ahead.

fallout continues today over president's obama decision to release five high level taliban leaders in exchange for army sergeant bowe bergdahl. the former guantanamo detainees were taken to qatar. they were supposed to be under a form of a house arrest for a year but reportedly can still move around the country rather freely. the question remains whether they could return to the battlefield. huge issues. amy kellogg is streaming live from qatar with the latest. amy is there any word from the taliban five in terms of what they're doing? >> reporter: taliban source tells fox news just this morning that the five former detainees are still not talking to anyone in the media. according to this source, they too after more than a decade in captivity on guantanamo bay have mental and physical issues and the word that we have heard more than once about what they are up to right now is simply resting. now there were rumors swirling about in some of the press yesterday that they had moved

and settled into a neighborhood which is on the edge of the desert. sort of the outer edge of the built-up part of doha. a mix moveddest and palatial buildings. you're not really free to roam around these neighborhoods with a camera. we did a bit of a drive-by. if they are or aren't there it was not confirmed. many assume they're in a secure compound. no one knows exactly where that is. we spoke to the managing editor of a important respected newspaper here this morning. he says these guys can go to the malls and movies but that ultimately may be a good thing because it will get them out of what some call the stone age and open their minds. he says he has no fear that they will be doing much more than that. >> i am sure they will be under the government radar. they are mentally free to do anything they like to do. they will be, they will be and big brother are here.

>> reporter: he also feels quite confident that these five will be in some sort of a rehabilitation program with qatari officials, martha. martha: interesting. so what is the government of qatar saying? >> reporter: well, officials here say that they are bound by an agreement with the united states themselves not to talk about any of this. you have to sort of look at the context here. this is very conservative society. it follows the same wahhabi strand of islam that saudi arabia does. right now it is 110 degrees in qatar. it will get to 120 degrees by midweek. people are sort of hunkered down. there is not a lot of buzz on the street. this is a place full of all sorts of different people and expatriates. a lot of people say they consider qatar to be the greatest ally of the united states. they view that relationship as incredibly important. they also say that they feel by doing this exchange, by brokering it, they do the united states a big favor, martha. martha: quite a story.

amy, thank you very much. amy kellogg in qatar. eric: martha, funnel clouds have been forming in the sky sending a swarm of twisters ripping across the west. coming up we'll tell you where six twisters touched down in just one day. martha: three fugitives on the run after a daring jailbreak. how they got a lift over the fence and what police are now doing to track them down. >> there is massive, massive, as i said. with our partners, not only in quebec but also if canada and the states. so everybody's giving a hand to find them as quickly as possible. take it on the way you always have. live healthy and take one a day women's 50+. a complete multivitamin with 7 antioxidants to support cell health. age? who cares.

martha: so two airliners bummed into each other at boston's logan airport. witnesses say the southwest jet was beginning to taxi out of the gate when it hit a jetblue plane sitting nearby. it took a chunk out of one of the wings of the southwest plane. unclear if the other plane was damaged. thankfully nobody was hurt. we hear about the near misses all the time. they actually bumped into each other. so the faa is looking into that. eric: meanwhile congress trying to get to the bottom of the troubling veterans affairs scandal. they're holding a second prime time hearing tonight. the first of a series of meetings to find out how veterans medical treatment has been delayed and why nothing apparently was done to stop it causing the families say the deaths of at least 40 vets.

florida congressman, jeff miller, chair of the house veterans affairs committee joins us here in new york. good to see you, congressman, good morning. >> good morning. eric: this is so troubling, so tragic, how bad do you think it is? >> we will see what the review of the department of veterans affairs show. i have expect it will be a lot worse than people expect. we're focusing on phoenix t has been systemic. i expect we're talking numbers over 100,000 on the waiting list. eric: if there are 100,000 on waiting lists, you have 40 deaths so far, could number of potential deaths reached hundreds? >> we always said 40 people died while they were on the waiting list. we know 23 deaths occurred because of delays in care at augusta, at columbia, south carolina, in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, in other parts of the country. so we know it is systemic. why the department of veterans affairs waited so long to acknowledge the fact this is not just an isolated incident but it

is part of the bureaucracy that exists out there is beyond me. eric: this wasn't supposed to happen. the president in 2009, he is in front of veterans of foreign wars in phoenix, august 17th, 2009, promising to quote, slash wait times, expand your health care and as well as cut the red tape. that is the promise from the commander-in-chief. what happened? >> obviously he was not paying attention and secretary shinseki i believe was kept in the dark to a greater extent. we do know the knowledge of what was going on actually went high up in the central office. we're trying to piece together the parts. we know the chief of staff actually knew there was manipulation of wait times in places like cheyenne and unfortunately we now have this crisis that has erupted out there where thank goodness the media is paying attention to what we have been trying to uncover and show for a number of years. we've got to fix it. failure is not an option. we all have to come together,

republicans and democrats, to make the right decision for the veterans. eric: this is so offensive. how do you think this happened in the first place? you say they allegedly covered this up, they hid this. what is the culture of morality and ethics at va to have one allow this? >> makes one wonder why you manipulate numbers? was this to get a bonus, a promotion? that we believe is probably the culprit. eric: on backs of those who served? >> unfortunately individuals feel like they're protected in the va nobody has been held accountable. we asked the department to tell us since january who was disciplined or held accountable in south carolina, georgia, for the deaths that occurred there because of lapses in care. we can not get a department of -- answer from the department of veterans affairs. that is what is wrong. they have to quit stalling congress. they are a coequal branch. we need to work this as we solve the problem to fix this. eric: how can you fix this dealing with wait times, what, 3 months.

1,000 waiting six months or more according to ig report. speaking of ig, how about department of justice investigation, criminal investigation, putting people in jail? >> absolutely. i believe there is criminality here. trying to walk through that to make sure all the fact have been put in place. i asked attorney general holder to be involved. eric: what has he said. >> he hasn't responded which is typical. eric: you have deaths. you're a congressional committee. you asked the attorney general of the united states about this and he has not responded? >> he has not responded. you would think that the white house would understand this is not the appropriate way to take care of veterans in this country. that all of america is paying attention to what is going on. there is a spotlight focused on the department of veterans affairs, unlike any that has ever been before. and regardless of whether the bowe bergdahl story pushed it off the front page we're not going to quit especially in the house of representatives in focusing on the failures of this department to do their job appropriately. eric: congressman jeff miller, the hearing later on tonight,

first of many more. i think americans want you to get to the bottom of this. >> we're not going to quit. eric: absolutely. martha? martha: news last night in fact. a new miss usa was crowned. >> and miss usa 2014 is nevada! martha: sounded like a goal. goal for nevada! she is beautiful. nia sanchez took the top spot, 24 years old. she is from las vegas. she is fourth degree black belt in tae kwon do, eric. eric: oh, man. martha: this is girl is strong and not to be messed with. miss usa. means she will compete for the title of miss universe later this year. eric: i like idea of taking a black belt off miss universe. martha: she might have to duke

eric: there is a massive manhunt underway for three inmates after an elaborate prison break in canada. the men escaped use a helicopter t happened early yesterday morning. they were arrested back in 2010 on drug trafficking charges. officers describe this unusual jailbreak by chopper. >> we know for an hour what we can release that the helicopter

went in, the court of the detention center. the three inmates went into the helicopter. fled in a green helicopter heading westbound from the prison. eric: can you believe this? this happens to be the second helicopter-aided escape that happened in quebec in just the past two years. the last time the suspects were caught within a few hours. martha: former secretary of state hillary clinton shedding more light on the fallout from the benghazi terror attacks. here is diane sawwer beginning a whole group of interviews including fox where diane sawyer asks the big question from "good morning america." watch. >> is there anything you personally should have been doing to make it safer in benghazi? >> well what i did was give very direct instructions that the people who have the expertise and experience in security -- >> personal -- >> that is personal, diane.

i am not, i'm 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. >> i wonder if people are looking for a sentence that begins from you, i should have, i should have? martha: answer to that question? that is what we call a tease. good morning, gentlemen, bob beckel, former campaign manager, co-host of "the five." tucker carlson, editor of dale at this caller, co-host of "fox & friends weekend." tucker, let me start with you. she can't possibly be asked to figure out where the blast walls are. is that a satisfactory answer? >> that is interesting. abc write-up she has taken responsibility numerous times for benghazi. taking responsibility what you should have done, what you didn't do, and what you will do next time. she has never done. she didn't answer the question. i bet my car she won't answer the question.

taken her 12 years to admit she shouldn't have voted for iraq war. this is not what taking responsibility looks like in the rest of the country. this is the washington version of taking responsibility. somebody else should have done something but i won't explain what i should have done. martha: she did say that, bob. i will take full responsibility. that was the end of that chain of thought. it does follow that you need to say, i understood that the british emambassador had a threat on his life. i know there were calls for more security. these are the reasons why i chose not to provide it. >> well, martha, only because i'm here with you and tucker this morning i'm willing to talk about this, on my own show i refuse to talk about benghazi but i will this morning just for you. martha: thank you. >> you're welcome. she had, exactly the write comment. they do hire people. the answer is, they should have hired better people. she has taken responsibility for it. as far as i'm concerned this issue is over and only reason they're going forward in the congress because they're trying to make hay over the bodies of four dead people. martha: bob, i'm sorry i have to

jump in here. you don't want to talk about it own the 5:00. no one has been arrested in this case. the president promised there would be justice in this case. why would it be over? >> i assume when you say over, over when people who did the killing are apprehended. >> that has not happened. >> you think they're all staying back in fbi headquarters not doing anything about it. martha: i have no other indication. took them 20 days to get there to begin with. there is no evidence that there is an ongoing active investigation in this case. >> i think that is something you probably want to check. i think they would not in a minute allow these people to be wandering without being investigation on them. it took fbi 20 days to get permission to go into libya to begin investigation. martha: tucker, do you have any spoons to that. >> here is the question. here is the thing she ought to take responsibility what were they doing there in the first place? there were enormous number of cia contractors and employees in benghazi gauze, libya. there were reports that they

were overseeing qadaffi's arms transfer to syria and rebels there. congress never voted on that. that is total scandal. >> why is that a scandal? >> let me explain. congress has to authorize it. where do these arms go? stinger missiles? hold on. who wound up with these weapons? this is our name. our money being used to do this. why do we know nothing about it? why is nobody asking even a question, what were they doing there. >> tuckers i was involved in 1980 moving stinger missiles into afghanistan to fight the russians. we doesn't have authorization to do that. we had stockpiles that already had been authorized in this case this was qadaffi's weapons. had nothing to do with united states taxpayer money. they could move them to whoever they wanted whenever they wanted. >> there were american employees. martha: bob is that a question you expect hillary clinton to have to answer in this process? what were they doing there? what were the cia operatives

doing there, were they securing weapons and where were the weapons going? >> there were cia operatives there. i have can grat late tucker on work they have done on this, but, they were there because they were moving weapons around. the real question is, why was the ambassador there? the ambassador never asked, never told anybody he was going there. he went there to meet with some people. we don't know why. those are questions yet to be answered. i don't know the answer. i don't think anybody else was. why was 9/11 a united states ambassador in a hostile environment traveling to consulates anywhere in the world? there was not as far as i know another ambassador in an arab country moving around outside of the perimeter of the embassy. martha: is that a fair question, tucker. >> hillary clinton, said in the interview, it is a travesty to ask those questions. it is appalling to ask those questions. you have no right to ask those questions. if one of my reporters filed a news story on benghazi didn't ask the question, the basic

question, what the heck was this about in the first place i would say, get out of here. go rewrite the story. i want to know what facts. we're not even trying to get facts. >> she said we had no right to know why he traveled to benghazi. >> she described hearings into benghazi as travesty. whatever asking questions is travesty. >> that is different -- martha: here is the thing. over the course of this week, hillary clinton will do a number of interviews all related to her book. it clear that one of the reasons she is doing this and she wrote about benghazi and open to taking questions about it, bob, she wants to see, if she can put this issue behind her. do you agree? >> exactly the right thing to do. if i were contemplating running for president in 2016, which obviously she is i for one don't think she will -- martha: really? >> if she does, getting out of the way now is good idea. i don't think there will be 100 votes undecided voters on benghazi in 2016. martha: could be. you could be right. you don't think she is going to run? >> i don't, no.

i don't. martha: interesting. thank you, bob. thank you, tucker. >> thanks, martha. eric: martha, out west, funnel clouds and tornadoes damaging homes and terrifying some people in the western plains. >> we were standing on the door trying to keep it from blowing in. i thought it was just wind. then i see the tree go every. i see my gator go flying across the yard. this isn't smart. eric: man, oh, man, that storm, is making its way east. we'll have latest from extreme weather center. martha: really touching story of brotherly love. a teenager walks 40 miles with his adorable smiling little brother on his back, all for a great cause. you got to see this story. really nice. >> how tired were you at the end there? >> more tired than, than i think i have ever been. legs are pretty sore, but we pushed through it and we're here. t laquinta.com, he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready.

nothing compared to what the power of almighty has. eric: that is for sure. meteorologist maria molina in the fox extreme weather center with the very latest. they seem to be pretty lucky. >> they do. these storms are producing all kinds of severe weather across parts of colorado and new mexico. over the weekend we had multiple reports of tornadoes, damaging straight line winds gusting over 60 miles an hour. very large hail across parts of new mexico. they saw baseball sized hail from these storms. overall that system is headed eastward. today we could see more severe weather from parts of texas, louisiana, arkansas, parts of mississippi and southwestern tennessee. heads up if you live in the city of memphis, austin, or dallas. you do have potential later today also this evening to see some storms that could fire up this afternoon and evening that could produce severe weather. keep that in mind. by tomorrow that system moves

eastward. all chances for severe weather through louisiana, tennessee and up into parts of kentucky. east of the storm system we'll have warm temperatures. that is one of the ingredients to fire up storms. look at this. 89 in new orleans and 90 of high in houston. eric: summer is here. maria, thank you so much. martha? martha: you remember this moment. president obama appearing with bowe bergdahl's parents shortly after his release. >> bob and janney, today families across america share in the show that i know you feel. as a parent i can't imagine the hardship you guys have gone through. martha: story has gotten really complicated since then. stunning new reports that the white house gave bergdahl's parents extraordinary access to secure state department videoconferences. what brit hume thinks about that coming up.

there are new reports that

are adding a new layer to the bowe bergdahl story. the obama administration reportedly gave this parents an unusual level of information. i'm martha maccallum. >> i am eric sean in for bill hemmer. the bergdahl were kept in the loop discussing the ongoing effort on a frequent bases setting up meetings on the secure channel as many times as 20 a year. >> brett hume is here. i want to talk about a quote that referenced the talks they had. they were informed using

teleconferencing with various military and other agencies. there was a great effort to keep mr. and mrs. bergdahl updated on this. do you think this is unusual? >> this is the sole pow of this war and it seems to be an example of compassion and sympathy for his family they were kept up to date. now if they were improperly given access to classified information that would be one thing. my thing is good for the administration and good for them. >> i want to pull up the tweet from bowe bergdahl's dad but another question that is raised in this is how much influence the bergdahl's had in this

process and whether they had a say that this was a good idea to trade the detainees. and this was a status from him. i am working to free the guantanamo bay prisoners. that was deleted. do you think there is anything towards that? >> you would have to establish that the bergdahl's were using these opportunities to be kept up to date on the efforts to gain their son's release and to lobby the military to make what people think is a badly unbalanced deal for his release. until that evidence shows up this is speculation. and the tweet, which was deleted, he is not stating -- mr. bergdahl isn't -- any goal not shared by the obama administration. he says it in terms of release and the president wants to close

the prison which means they will at least be released from there. there are a lot of questions about the case. we don't know all of the facts about the particular case. but the business of keeping the bergdahl in the loop is one of the least concerns people should have about this. >> another question is the question of whether or not there was cash paid. in terms of trading the taliban detainees and whether that would be in the best interest of the network holding them. >> the network holding him is more of a crime sindicate. you are not going to purchase release from that network by releasing taliban prisoners.

they are interestied in money ad that gives rise to the question, and the administration hasn't answered, and that is in addition of the release of the detainees was ransom paid and that is another unexplored action in this. there is a lot to be explained. >> a lot of layers and questions and congress has questions about the monemoneywise as well. >> that will come out eventually they will ask someone under oath or the president will announce this. >> if it turns out the ransom was paid, and this is

speculation, and that was what did the trick that really does, as you suggest sharpen the question of why did you need to release the taliban starting five as they are being called? >> thank you very much. meanwhile, president obama taking new steps to help americans struggling to pay off their student loans. he is making a program that limits how much borrowers have to pay each month. stew varney is here. they have to get a handle on the student debt. it is crushing the young people. is this the appropriate way the >> debt is indeed a problem. here is what the president is doing about it. he is going to extend the already existing student loan debt forgiveness and expecting

five million more to sign up. and he is getting behind a move in congress that would allow student loan refinanced so the monthly payment comes down. that will help students, that is true, however there is a taxpayer bill coming years down the road. some students get help down but taxpayers will pay down the road. $1.2 trillion standing and people are getting out of college with huge debt and no job. >> i can understand financing but is forgiveness appropriate? >> this will not lower the cost of college which is the principle problem and it will

not increase the number of jobs for the people with the debt. the president could be accused of buying votes doing this helping people five months before the election and sticking the taxpayer with the bill many years down the road. >> the new york times had a piece say were getting out with debt, can't afford mortgages, can't pay rent. >> that is all true. but none of this changes fundamentalally because of what the president is doing today. the pakistani taliban is claiming responsibility for attack on the country busiest airport. they were armed with machine guns and ger nades and conner

powell is on this. how did these militants get into this guarded airport area? >> apparently from what we are hearing from pakistan is ten taliban fighters wearing uniforms snuck in before midnight and attacked it from several directions. the battle raging for hours and wrapping up just before dawn. 5-6 hour long battle with pakistani security services. 27 were killed, several wounded and several buildings caught fire. all of the flights were diverted out of airport. they said it was in revenge for

a drone strike that killed one of their leaders. >> how does this attack impact the talks with pakistan? >> the newly elected prime minister was elected saying he was going to end had violence that ravages the area. this talk is further evidence the peace talks are going nowhere. the pakistan is different from the afghanistan taliban but they are battling with the government and the largest extremist that causes violence in afghanistan and pakistan. and speaking of those five top taliban terrorist, to congress it was a surprise largely. now they are getting a classified intelligence briefing on it and we will talk to kevin mccarthy on the backlash from

the bergdahl deal. and one of the biggest sporting events in the world is about to get underway but things are not looking good. a labor strike could trigger problems at the world cup. here we go. we will be right back. care what age you are. take it on the way you always have. cupcakworld cu jaennife

in just a matter of hours, the house of representatives is going to meet for a classified intelligence briefing.

they will discuss the controversial swap of five taliban leaders to free bowe bergdahl. kevin mccarthy is joining me this morning. good to have you here. this is the brief you would expect before it happened? >> we would expect. back in december of 2011 and january 2012 they did talk to the speaker about different options and the answers they got back was no. it was not approved of. and even jay carney said in 2013 when asking the white house they would go to congress if something was decided on. they went away from it. a lot of questions are going to be asked. last week members were in the

district. this is their first day back. why wasn't congress, on both sides of the aisle they will get tough questions, how can the world be safer today after releasing those fives and now we are hearing money and ransom maybe paid as well? >> i want to go back to the reason that has been floated out there for why you were not brought into the loop and that is that there was a huge health concern, first. susan rice said we didn't have 30 days. his health was in dire conditions. chuck hagel said we had to get him out to safe his life. now john kerry is saying there is threats he was going to be beheaded and there were torture threats. we are hearing that is why you could not be consulted. >> they don't consult all of congress. just the intel community.

and the leadership/speaker. that is a few phone calls. that is a small meeting. >> why do you think those calls were not made? >> he didn't like the answers he was going to get. individuals like diane feinstein and others are giving you a bipartisan approach saying this is a bad idea. so the president didn't want to ask somebody because he knew the response. >> what about this allegation of money? brett hume said the network that had him is interested in money and they don't care about the taliban leaders. so if that is the case why release them and how will you get to the bottom of money exchange? >> i will not support releasing them because the world isn't as safe. i think we will see these five

coming back into terrorist world. these are sophisticated individuals. and now money as well? it seems like they gave everything the terrorist asked for. what type of negotiation is that? how does that make america safer? how does that set-up america for the future? we have a set pattern now of this is how america acts. there is going to be difficult questions from both sides and we expect answers. >> and do you expect you will get evidence about what was so dire about his medical condition and also whether new dangers that were present? he was there for five years so there was an urgency put in place you were not made privy to. >> that is not an acceptable answer. there was very few people they

had to consult with in congress. the committee, the speaker and others. if the health was the concern they could have conveyed that. they know they broke the law when they went through this. >> i want to get your thoughts on another important issue and that is the va. what did you expect to come out of that hearing today? >> we will pass a bill in the house today and unfortunately in the house we have been passing bills for a couple years. this isn't a new problem. the headlines are just now coming out. we have half a dozen bills in the senate. tomorrow we will pass a bill that will allow veterans, if they are passed the deadline set, they can get the care in their own local community so why wait and breakup that back log.

this is a goa study i requested in 2010. we wrote to shinseki in 2011 about this. the bill has been passing bills for what the administration has ignored. >> do you think because of these stories that come out you have the leverage to get that through the democratic senate? >> i think we do now. but why did veterans have to do and put through this to take place? we had the studies. we knew the facts. and they let the bill sit there. >> congressman kevin mccarthy, thanks so much. got milk? got cookies? got radiation? your store might be serving that up.

radiate food to kill bacteria but it is killing people's appetite as well. we go to the shelves what are we going to get, jonathan? >> reporter: the cdc estimates each year food borne illness cause 1-6 six americans to get six and 3,000 to die a year. p people say it is time to get food radiation a try. it has been slow to catch on but gateway america belief their facility is going to start a trend to save lives. >> we are saving lives now. >> reporter: raw oysters are placed in this container and dipped into the pool of water and at the bottom is radio

active cobalt. it kills parisites without making the food radiation. >> are we giving the incentive to meat companies that they don't have to be responsible. >> we still expect good practices with hands handling and such. >> reporter: chances are you have consumed radiated steaks. most spices are radiated but they don't have to be used at such if they are used in a

non-radiated item. >> let me put on my suit and get the geiger. i am joking. president obama talking about his campaigns to shutdown guantanamo bay and many think bergdahl was just the process. will the backlash stop any of the transfers? >> and hilary clinton is blitzing the media with the roll out with her new book. is this the campaign before the campaign? >> a story of love and determination between two brothers. a teenager walks 40 miles with his brother an his back. >> how special is your brother to you? >> i cannot put it into words. he is awesome. he is always there for me. he is always there for me.

>> the president appeared in the rose garden with bergdahl's parents and it was seen as a humaneitarian request. according to jack keane senior melitary leaders are quote out

rad quoted this was a success especially given the facts they don't know if he was a deserter and what he might have done in captivity. general jack keane is here. we understand we leave no one behind. but is this the way we did it? >> i don't have problems trying to get sergeant bergdahl out of the captivity. it isn't an open-ended contract. if we wanted to make a deal for bergdahl and the taliban was asking for every single detainee at gitmo i doubt we would make that deal. if they were asking for just one detainee and that was the

mastermind of 911 i doubt we would make that deal. it isn't like we would take any deal. we took this one and we should have had tougher conditions in terms of house arrest, restriction for no internet or phone, and maybe not put them in a compound we have seen on tv but in a military base qutar is running. >> they say the conditions changed. but the secretary of defense was against this he says for years. what do you think made chuck hagel change his mind and go with this? >> i don't know. i can only guess and that is dangerous. but i do think given the president's announcement that we were not going to leave any recidivir residual force and he is walking away from the war and looks at this as part of that.

whether it is tied to a larger strategy with gitmo itself i don't know. >> in terms of the announcement with the president and bergdahl's together what are you hearing from your colleagues and former colleagues in the pentagon? >> they have done such good work working with the parents to make certain they kept a low profile and wasn't promoting their release and they abided by all of that. this rose garden promotion event happened and a firestorm was created around sergeant bergdahl himself and his teammates responded to it, parents and loved ones of soldiers who may have been killed trying to find or rescue him were certainly justified in their emotional response in dealing with all of this, and a lot of that could

have been avoided. sergeant bergdahl is going thew a decompression phase. his mental and physical health is of most concern. then he begins reintegration and he will be debriefed in terms of what he has learned about the enemy that is value of us. and with an experienced interrogator we will discover everything for motivation leaving his host and captivity. these people know how to deal with this and earn his trust. and we will know whether mow information should be charged against sergeant bergdahl and that is up to the united states army and i think they will make

the right call. >> do you think he should court marshaled? >> the facts have to take it to that. he left his post obviously. that is punishable. what was the motivation? it is hard to find any motivating or mitigating circumstances that would justify leaving your post and letting your teammates down and the entire code of conduct we have that governs the soldier's behavior. so it is like the military will come forward for that. whether there are other issues in terms of behavior in captivity remains to be seen. they have a lot of information about that. most of the accurate information they will get about this captivity will come from

bergdahl with himself and an experienced interrogator. >> thank you for your inside, general jack keane. and the release of the taliban leaders is reigniting the debate over the future of guantanamo bay. president obama has been vowing to close the prison every since he took office. but this swap has become so controversial many feel it could put more road blocks in that goal. catherine heritage is live with more. instead of paving the way it looks like it could do opposite. >> that is right. observ observers say this may have had the opposite affect and it damaged any good will on capital hill to close the camp and made transfers more difficult. >> the political reality is this

is the poster child of unintended consequences. it has had the exact opposite effect in that it is making it harder, at least in the short-term, to do transfers >> the whole idea of the 30-day notification is that republicans and democrats on capital hill wanted to a -- have a cheek on the executive camp -- so they would have 30 days to make sure that was politically sustainable for democrats and republicans. and this decision has angered people on both sides of the political aisle. >> when you look at who is left of the 140 prisoners still there. have we removed the five worst from the group? or are the remaining people there a bigger problem in some

ways? >> reporter: some detainees are more problematic but problem the biggest thorn in the side are the amini detainees and they make up about 90. when they go back to the region they pointed the case who was at guantanamo bay and he left and went back to the betty ford rehab program for terrorist in saudi arabia and then made a be line for al qaeda in yemen and got into the number two position. so when you look at the biggest obsticals and whether it is feasible to send them back to yemen or rehab camps in saudi arabia. will she? or won't she?

hilary clinton is talking about the possibility of running for the white house. we will the details next. >> and remember the classic corvettes that fell in the sinkhole at the national corvette museum? wait until you hear what is happening now. happening now.

will you be a sound sleeper, or a mouth breather? a mouth breather! [ whimpers ] how do you sleep like that? well, put on a breathe right strip and shut your mouth. allergy medicines open your nose over time, but add a breathe right strip and pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more. so you can breathe and do the one thing you want to do -- sleep. add breathe right to your allergy medicine. shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right.

talk about a minor dist disaster with a silver lining.

remember the sinkhole that swallowed the eight corvettes? turned out there has been a jump in attendance. it is up 50% since the sinkhole opened up in february. many visitors coming to see the sinkhole so the museum is considering plans to keep the sinkhole as a permanent part of a display. talk about turning a negative into a positive. maybe it will be the national corvette and sinkhole museum. hilary clinton hinting at her decision on a bid on the white house in 2016 but staying coy about the timing of such a bid saying earlier today she will be on the way to making that decision by the end of the year. narrows it down, right? >> i am going to decide when it does for me. >> by the end of this year?

>> certainly not before then. >> joe trippi and ed rollins are here and both have tons of experience. great to see you both. joe, what is the deal? when do you expecting her to decide? >> i don't think she has decided. she is conducting herself like i would tell her. i would tell them you run. you put everything in place as if you are going and then you decide not to run. that is the decision -- that is what you can do. the people that make the mistake are the ones saying i am not doing anything until i make up my mind but then they are in a hole. she is conducting herself like she is but she may decide not to.

>> she has the experience of last time where maybe she should have come out earlier, been stronger or the digital question: >> she underesmated her opponent last time. she can not get more benefit than the book tour and interviews. and high number for someone not on the stage as a candidate. i think she is the strongest candidate running since 1980 and if she does there is no way any democrat will beat her and serious ones won't challenge her. >> let's look at a quote from robert good. he is saying this. he says they will use all of these events related to the book

to acquire information that can be purchased by a political entity and they will exhibit a fresh desire to see and here. if someone buys are book we made half the sale in a political sense. a lot of people felt that everybody else who ran really fell short in terms of getting that digital information out there on anybody who had interest. >> that is right. and she is going to sell books doing it. this book tour is just -- you know, a real big positive step. anybody who buys the book is a potential vote for her. somebody they can reach out to. they can collect that data. and it allows her to be a candidate without being a candidate. she is going to get all of the benefits from that. and the republicans that might

oppose here haven't developed the technical savvy on that side to watch up with what now the clinton people have learned from the 2008 experience. >> we know ryan probes talks about fixing that problem. the reviews are it is vanilla, boring and she is being super careful and lavishing praise on everybody so nothing can be picked out that is a problem. >> that is a smart author. this isn't a biography being written by someone else. this is her own story. my sense is it isn't going to be exciting. it is a long book and a lot of people who buy it won't finish it. she begins with high approval ratings and has an opportunity

to hit far more viewers on her television interviews. and i am sure she will be on this network. she has 2/3eds of the country thinking of her as a strong leader as a time when most leaders, including the president, are being viewed as weak. so it is more the tv interviews and bookstores. >> she is sitting down at the end of the week with us. i want your thoughts on rand paul. he said the moderate branch of the republican party cannot win. he thinks he is the only person who really can. what do you think, joe? >> i think this is a battle the republican party has been having for the last two cycles. we see it in the senate and house primaries. but the 2016 nomination fight is going to be a fight between those two wings.

and ron paul is -- some of the groups that haven't been open to the republican party, he might be able to bring them in. it is going to be a battle in 2016. >> and if that is true, can he beat hilary clinton? >> i am not sure he can get the nomination. i think he is one of the contenders. and you have to define what is the chamber of commerce and what is a libertarianian? what do this phrases mean? and him trying to attempt democrats being kinder to welfare recipients and prisoners you have to denine that more relevantly and there is a strong political bas in this party that is not a libertarianian and if he doesn't have that it will be

hard to win. >> joe and ed, always good to see you both. two young brothers wrapping up a journey. we will have the story of a teen who walked miles with his little brother on his back. brother on his back.
