8:00 am
why men are more rigid with their looking facial features than women. >> really? bill: do you believe that? >> another theory out there. interesting but i can't buy that. bill: we 100 theories, this hour. see you tomorrow, everybody. "happening now" starts right now. bye-bye. jenna: hillary clinton embarking on a media blitz as we kicks off a national tour to promote her new book, "hard choices." hope you're off to good day, i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm eric shawn in today for jon scott. people are lined up inside of the barnes & noble bookstore, you're looking inside, where mrs. clinton is set to engage in the time honoredded signing a their new book.
8:01 am
jenna: her book talks about her time as secretary of state. some critics say what is not getting attention is what was specifically left out. shannon bream is here with more. >> reporter: critics and supporters have been looking to the former secretary of state's book and see how she portrays the time at secretary of state office and. both sides may find themselves disappointed. book is described as very safe, middle of the road with very few previously known facts or new revelations. it also left many wondering why she didn't talk more about her health in her book, an opportunity her supporters say was missed. here is what she said in an exclusive interview with abc's news diane sawyer learning how serious her injuries were back in december 2012 when she sat down with her doctors. >> here is what they say, the good news is, the concussion is totally resolving like we told you it is going to be fine. the bad news is you develop ad clot behind your right here ear
8:02 am
and you must immediately go to the hospital because we must immediately put you on blood thinners. so i went. i was there for three days and got out. >> reporter: clinton talks in her book about discussions about a prisoner swap with bowe bergdahl. she was working on a bigger deal that would put the afghan government in direct talks with the taliban. she knew opening door with negotiations to the taliban would be hard to swallow for many americans. a deal eventually made a few days ago, she says she will not second-guess it given it was backed by the state department, defense department and intelligence community. much more to come out of that book, jenna. jenna: book is coming out at an interesting time. certainly a lot of questions to be asked. shannon, thank you. jon: one thing critics are focusing on what she wrote or did not write about in her new book. one of the most controversial aspects of her tenure as secretary of state. they point to admission about key facts about the benghazi terror attack, seeming leaving
8:03 am
more questions than answer about her actions as secretary of state. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live in washington with more on this hi, catherine. >> reporter: hi, eric. the 34-page benghazi chapter leaves little doubt that mrs. clinton was the first member of the obama administration to publicly link the video to the terrorist attack and she did so before she called mr. obama that night to give him an update. mrs. clinton does not explain what intelligence supported this press release in her name that linked the foreign service officer sean smith at the consulate on 9/11 to the video. in her book, hard choices, mrs. clinton writes, the violence was erupting all over the middle east and obscure internet video was to blame, throwing benghazi without independent intelligence into the same category. quote, it would have been strange not to consider as days of protests unfolded that it might have had been the same effect here too. that is just common sense. on losing ambassador chris
8:04 am
stevens, smith and former navy seals ty woods and glen doherty, mrs. clinton says, it was a punch in the gut while at the same time seeming to blame stephens for going to benghazi on the 9/11 anniversary. chris made decisions about his movements based on security assessments of his team on the ground as well as his own judgment. there is nothing in the book about congressional testimony that in fact stevens went to benghazi on the 9/11 anniversary because it was mrs. clinton who want ad permanent post there and stevens had to file the paperwork before a state department budget deadline two weeks later. at the end of the day mrs. clinton points to the accountability review board or arb, this was a state department investigation, but critics maintain that it was a faulty investigation because they never interviewed senior executives including mrs. clinton, who would have, based on the rules at the state department, signed a waiver to allow the post in benghazi to exist with the
8:05 am
substandard security, eric. >> a lot of questions still remain. thanks very much. >> reporter: you are you're welcome. jenna: big story and fox news alert, five american soldiers killed in afghanistan what officials suspect was a friendly fire accident. if confirmed this would be the one of the deadliest friendly fire incidents since the start of the war. the victims all reported to be special operations forces carrying out what is described as security operation when they came in contact with the enemy and eventually this is what led to their death. this violence happen ad day after secretary kerry said this in reference to the state of the war. >> we are ending our combat role. our combat role in afghanistan is over. jenna: big question about what that means for special operations forces like the ones that were killed today. i should say on monday. some context now in the war in afghanistan. there are currently 32,000 troops serving there. by the start of 2015 that level drops to 9800.
8:06 am
and by 2016 we'll have fewer than 1000 which is considered to abnormal embassy presence. but again these are working numbers that we have at this time. a big question whether or not they will stay that way. eric? >> jenna, there is new action on capitol hill focusing on the controversial top taliban terrorist swap that freed sergeant bowe bergdahl. the senate arm services committee holding a closed-door briefing that some house members described as very rough. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel live on capitol hill with the latest. mike, didn't seem like a great night for the administration on capitol hill after this meeting. >> reporter: a lot of hurt feelings on capitol hill. arizona senator john mccain leased the senate armed services closed-door meeting. he heard nothing new there. he didn't even understand why this briefing was classified. he herd house speaker john boehner express his own concerns with the bergdahl swap a short time ago.
8:07 am
>> listen, we're glad that bergdahl is back but the biggest issue here is the violations of a policy that the united states has had for many, many years that we don't negotiate with terrorists. >> reporter: lawmakers have been told that 80 to 90 government officials were aware of the bowe bergdahl-taliban five swap while key members of congress were never told. boehner and others seem insulted that congressional leaders were entrusted for the plans for usama bin laden raid but not this deal. west virginia democrat joe manchin just told reporters he can not understand the decision to release five detainees at once, especially if they were dangerous enough to hold at gitmo this long. still some administration allies are defending the move. >> nothing was hidden except for a very sensitive operation that resulted, i think, in the perfect solution, that is,
8:08 am
bringing home a soldier who had been captive. >> reporter: some are still trying to protect the administration on this. there are plenty from both parties very upset here on capitol hill. the recognition that 80 to 90 government officials were in the loop on this bergdahl swap but not members of congress, perhaps a sign that relations between the white house and capitol hill have never been worse. eric? >> mike, seems the furor not going away anytime soon. thanks so much. jenna? jenna: now to a dire situation in the southwest of our country as tens of thousands of children from central america flood across our border into texas. they are then transported to processing centers in arizona. one mayor on the ground says this about what he's seen. >> i didn't see anybody crying, anybody, that had issues except for two little girls that talked to. they told me that they were sad. i asked why. they said that they missed their parents. jenna: lots of questions why this is happening now. will carr live in los angeles
8:09 am
with more. will? >> reporter: jenna, what we started to see a surge of people coming across-the-boarder around memorial day weekend. short time after that, authorities in texas started to get overwhelmed. so they started shipping a lot of these people to arizona. this morning there are between 700 and 1000 undocumented children held at a massive facility in nogales, arizona. that is near the border, about an hour south of tucson. they're all from central america. many have come to the united states by themselves. inside of that facility they're getting vaccinated. they're being given medical checkups but this is only a temporary staging facility. from there they are sent to three military bases in texas, california, and oklahoma. this year alone, according to the border patrol. 47,000 unbeing a companied children have crossed the border. some local authorities are growing more and more frustrated that many of these undocumented kids are showing up in their communities without warning. >> they're dumping people on
8:10 am
without notice, no contact, no communication. i think that is wrong. i they have to be a little more transparent so that local government, the communities can somehow be part of the solution as well. >> reporter: as for why they're crossing right now? there are reports that there has been increasing in gang violence in many countries in central america. also many of these kids already have family here and there are other reports that say that they really believe that if they can make it into the united states, they will be able to stay. now as for the price tag with this, jenna, it is not cheap. the administration is estimating to help these kids and families it could cost $2 billion alone. that is just for this year. jenna: more on this story willing coming up on the program. thank you. >> jenna, you here about this happening once in a while. some bozo shining a laser beam at airplane cockpit. the latest happened to a police

8:22 am
i don't remember the country exactly. jenna: what a conversation to have, right. as home invasion is taking place. police actually nabbed one of the suspects of the other one still on the loose. eric? eric: jenna, as lawmakers on capitol hill take up the bergdahl prisoner swap today the public seems to have doubts about the deal that freed those five top taliban terrorists in exchange for bowe bergdahl. look at some new polling by pew research and "usa today." it shows 43% of those survey believed the swap was wrong. 34% say it was the right thing to do. earlier "fox news poll" finds even more people disapproved of it. 47%. but 45% seemed to back the deal. well, a house briefing last evening had even more dissatisfied members of congress. senate armed services intelligence committee briefing that broke up a few minces ago failed to quell the outrage. joining us is ellison barber, staff writer at the
8:23 am
"washington free beacon." they had this meeting last night and senate armed services meeting that just broke up, doesn't seem to stop. >> they're saying exact same thing what we heard from the house. i spoke to people from the house yesterday and early this morning when they were talking about it. the thing they said what i heard mike emanuel saying they were talking about when leaving the senate briefing. no new information. they didn't understand why the briefing was closed-door. they frustrated a lot of questions they had were not actually answered. they left the meeting wondering why it was closed to begin with and still having unanswered questions. eric: do the senators and congressman feel the administration is backpedaling big-time? >> the way they explained from the house, they felt the administration is circling wagons. that is take way way from house members yesterday. they felt it was backpedaling and term they used was circling the wagons. eric: they are being defensive.
8:24 am
they did not expect the outrage that has exploded. >> originally you had chuck hagel on sunday the president made this, this was his final decision. now the white house saying actually, hagel is the one who made the decision. some people are saying perhaps they're doing that now because they realize there was a lot of backlash, particularly with the rose garden ceremony. they're trying to while initially took credit for it when it would be positive when they realized it wasn't and they're trading to backpedal, hey this was more of chuck hagel's decision than ours. they're taking a lot of steps to semi back away from the -- eric: i'm sorry you just said that the president of the united states or the white house is saying hagel did it. hagel, the white house is saying that the president did it or vice versa. the top leaders of this country are doing this, pointing fingers at each other and blaming each other. >> that seems like what is happening. we're seeing different reports like "weekly standard." you're also seeing them do in different areas like harry reid. harry reid said i heard about it on friday.
8:25 am
someone from the administration on friday. we told him when everybody else found out. his press secretary, harry reid's press secretary send out a tweet this is awkward. eric: someone is lying if harry reid says he knew about it friday and he says that is not true. >> there are inconsistent stories people aligned with democrats. they are uncomfortable with this and pushing back on some of the narrative we're hearing come out of the white house in terms of what they were told and whether it was appropriate and whether or not they needed to give congress that 30 days notice or if it had been discussed before early enough where they didn't have to worry about it. eric: let alone was his life in danger, really poor health. he gets released he seems to be in good health, blah, blah, blah. look at leon panetta and hagel. look at two minute. both sides of issue. leon panetta is the new clark clifford. hagel, secretary of defense, he was always against this deal. he was in pittsburgh. raised questions about it. what made the new guy on the
8:26 am
job, hagel say, okay, boss, allegedly, go right ahead? >> that is what people in congress seemed to be confused about. we kind of discussed this before and we said we weren't comfortable with this. actually we didn't need to give you 30 days notice and we discussed it before and it would be fine when they knew before people had expressed reservations whether dianne feinstein or other republicans there was consensus before from leon panetta throughout congress that people didn't feel comfortable this kind of trade and letting go those specific taliban -- eric: what do you think this does to white house congressional relations. >> it doesn't help. they're already rocky. increasing lawmakers on both sides, both sides of the aisle increasingly frustrated with administration on this they are very unhappy they weren't told beforehand. eric: ellison barber. thank you very much. jenna? jenna: raising big questions about our kids. why they say being too clean, our homes being too clean could cause serious health problems for our children. but what is the alternative?

8:31 am
up a closed-door hearing on the controversial swap releasing those taliban terrorists. why what they heard is making them even more unhappy. some research says being too clean at home may do more harm than good. do you buy that? we're learning much more about the deadly crash on the new jersey turn bike that killed one man and critically injured comedian tracy morgan. police have the 911 calls. the dow is hovering close to what we've seen nearly the 17,000 mark, despite a slight lower opening this morning. take a look at that it is nudging up near 17,000. can it get there. what does it mean for the rest of us? joining us now fox business network's lauren simonetti with the latest. do you think it will get up to the 17,000? >> i think this summer we will see dow 17,000. not sure about today. but the big question what does this mean for main street and
8:32 am
bottom line? stocks are pulling back actually first time in five days but still flirting with 17-k. we're exciting to see it get there. despite the market hitting record highs, 19 record close this is year for the s&p, got to say, eric, this is unenthusiastic, almost downright boring rally for two reasons. first it is summer. trading is slow. second, data from the federal reserve show that the stock market's recent climb higher is benefiting just a few americans. the wealthiest 5% own 82% of publicly-traded stocks. so while 401(k)s are looking attractive right now, not too many of us are playing the market and getting in and out of individual stocks. this is no surprise. overall stock holdings by households topped out at 67% back in 2002. pew research says it is down to about 45%. no participation, no excitement. one trader that i spoke to, a couple of minutes ago says this,
8:33 am
and i quote. if you don't own stocks, you are missing a chance to retire early. he says the dow will hit 17,000. and he says it will do so this week. when it does, it won't mean much, right? our economy is still expanding but ever so slowly, five years into a recovery. the fed's monetary policy extremely loose. and interest rates, very low. so there you have it. not sure it means too much to many people, eric, if only the rest of the. eric: if only the economy was buoyant. thank you, lauren. jenna. jenna: sergeant bowe bergdahl remains in recovery at a military hospital in germany we want to look at the story in terms of historical context in terms of other prisoner exchanges in our history. how unusual was this deal really? we have a professor of military studies at air command and staff college at maxwell air force base in montgomery, alabama. nice to have you. it is worth pointing out that
8:34 am
bowe bergdahl is only known p.o.w. during the entire conflict in afghanistan. new to us to talk about a prisoner of war. you studied this going back to the revolutionary war and every war since then, paul. what makes the deal unique? what makes it sort of the same as others? let's start with what makes it unique? >> jenna, because he is the only prisoner from the afghan war it will be a unique circumstance. because we're making a deal with a non-state actor in the form of the taliban that also contributes to the unique nature. jenna: what does that mean when we're tealing with a non-state actor, instead of dealing with a country like germany when it comes to the exchange of p.o.w.s? >> we're in a bit of a legal gray area. when we deal with non-state actors, because there is a lot of international law that governs treatment and repatriation of prisoners of war and even the very definition of prisoner of war may or may not extend to non-state actors. jenna: talk about what make this is similar to other exchanges. you had some interesting
8:35 am
examples, paul, going back to the civil war that talked about the terms of deals that we have made or choices that soldiers have made themselves. talk to us a little bit about that. >> well, over the course of american history we've always tried to get our prisoners back. and we've never set any kind of conditions upon those repatriations. so, even when you had cases in, say the korean war where a number of prisoners signed confessions they had used biological and chemical weapons against the enemy, we still did everything we could to get those prisoners back and managed to repatriate them to the united states. in vietnam you had a similar situation where you had one state, north vietnam, that argued captured american pilots should be considered air pirates, not prisoners of war. but that certainly din stop us from trying to get our personal back at any cost. in vietnam, many times we wound up paying 100 to one, to get our pilots back. jenna: interesting. 100 to one. so when you look at this, paul,
8:36 am
you step away, because you have a lot more knowledge about this issue than many of us coming to it, what stands out to you the most about the media coverage or even what our viewers might be hearing about this? what would you like to underscore when it comes to the importance of historical context in this deal? >> there are two points i think need to be made. it is very bad idea to key wait the taliban with all of the other groups that are active in afghanistan at this time. they're not on the state department's list of foreign terrorist organizations. they are a non-state actor but, they were the government of afghanistan at the time that we entered and engaged in this conflict. so that is one key point that think really need to be made, that automatically labeling them terrorists might be a bad idea. the second issue is that if we're pulling our combat troops out of afghanistan and we're planning to end the conflict there, these individual would have been repatriated at the end of combat. so it is very likely these individuals would have been sent
8:37 am
back fairly early in 2015. if they're guilty of war crimes or other atrocities there is mechanism to put them on trial for that. it doesn't require that we necessarily keep them at guantanamo indefinitely. jenna: there is legal debate about that the taliban has different facets as we know. some are considered terrorists. the haqqani network being one. these particular men in guantanamo bay we held them for a reason. so we had legal debates about that, paul. i will leave that for a moment. let's turn to what hapsberg dahl now. as you turn to what happens to prisoners of war as they come back to the country, whether or not they talk to the press or not, what would you expect? what is the norm, if you will for prisoners of war returning home? >> well, given that he is the only prisoner from the afghan war, i think he is in for a lot of media scrutiny. people are interested what his captivity was like, what he went
8:38 am
through, what his ordeal entailed. that said i'm not sure bergdahl will make himself necessarily available to the media. right now the obviously the army is doing its best to help him with the transition process. so far what i can tell doing a very good job protect him from a great deal of scrutiny. jenna: paul, great to have you on the program. nice to have historical process for this unusual time. we look forward to having you back. thank you. >> thanks very much, jenna. eric: there has been another major airline changing its rules for frequent flyers. you think they will make it easier? coming up we'll tell you about the new guidelines for racking up miles and why it is not sitting well with some passengers. can you actually be too clean? coming up why a new study says it is not only unnecessary but could be taking a toll on your health. what super poligrip does for me is it keeps the food out.

8:42 am
jenna: let's check out what is ahead on "outnumbered" at the top of the hour.
8:43 am
>> ahead on "outnumbered," clint :pushing back on her critics over the land link of benghazi while facing new criticism she is out of touch with the middle class. >> timeout for grown ups. is a marriage sabbatical the way to save a family relationship? perhaps. >> one clothing line is replacing traditional sizing with words that would make most of us krunk. we have the skinny on this. >> yeah it is pretty funny. plus our #oneluckyguy. look into his eyes. >> hypnotize you. >> that is at the top of the hour on "outnumbered." jenna: thank you. eric: travelers who fly and pay more will earn more miles on united airlines frequent flier program. they join delta, southwest and jetblue issuing new guidelines. they reward passengers for money spent not miles they fly. here is how it works. next year silver level
8:44 am
passengers will earn seven miles for every dollar they spend. gold level passengers will earn eight miles. platinum, you will get nine mills and passengers who fly more than 100,000 miles a year, or spend more than $10,000 a year, well, they are going to earn 11 miles for every dollar they spend. of course that means that regular members, people who fly less than 25,000 mice an spend less than $2500 a year, of course they get the lower number, five miles for every dollar they spend. jenna: did you smell? where people like, oh, she is not showering and using this bacteria spray? did they not want to hang out with you? >> i will say, jenna, you want to know who your real friends are, ask them to smell you after 2days of going without a shower and be honest about what they think. jenna: what do they say? >> they said i smelled. jenna: that was a guest on our show from a few weeks ago, explaining how her friends
8:45 am
reacted after she decided to conduct an experiment where she didn't shower for a month. turns out she may have been on something. as we learned of a new study that reveals being too clean is not always a good thing. johns hopkins childrens center did a study recently on cleanliness. con you had concluded keeping your home too clean may make your children susceptible to allergies and asthma later in life. we have a pediatrician at st. lou's hospital. she is mother of five which we appreciate and she gives us medical advice and practical advice as well. doctor, nice to see you again. >> thank you so much for having me, jenna. jenna: start with this the hygiene hypothesis. it says if your children are exposed not just to dirt but roaches, rodents, cats, in their first year of life, that they will actually be healthier. what do you make of it? >> it is very true. actually this study supports findings of many other previous studies, that exposure to these antigens, these germs, really,

from rodents and cockroaches and even cats and dogs can actually help your child develop a very healthy immune system. because it is in that first year of life that your baby and baby's immune system is learning what's good and what they need to not react to and what's negative and what they shouldn't react to. so your body gets that healthy bacteria in their gut. and jenna, this is actually the take home pointe that healthy poop is really an important part of life. jenna: you know what? we'll take that. that maybe the headline for the entire day, doctor. i'm not sure but it could be. the question in everyone's mind, what is the alternative? so have a dirty house? the coauthor of this study said this. please don't get an intentional cockroach infestation in your house. there is no reason to think that would help. you don't want an intentional infestation, that is one thing. what are you supposed to do if

you're really clean, doc? >> it is about moderation in cleaning. i have five kids under 10. i've had a baby on my floor for the past decade. for us it is about only cleaning when there's really infectious disease in the house. cleaning with a bacterial agent such as clorox. if stomach flu is going around, we clorox all the door knock and countertops and bathrooms. we clean once a week with regular soap and water and do the counter tops every day. we're not using bacteria agent. we're using regular soap. jenna: what about other studies that look at inner cities -- this is where they did this they followed children from inside the womb until the first several years of life. this is how they reach some of these conclusions. but other studies suggested in densely populated areas of cities that children actually do have higher rates after asthma. often times it has been thought of that it is the pollution, whether it is from cars to rodents that is causing this? >> i think there is questions
8:48 am
that we're still working out as a medical community. there are some confounding factors here of, racial and ethnic diversity and, as well as pollutants and also the fact that there are these higher levels of pathogens and antigens that cause asthma and allergies in these environments but you have to -- it's a very important question, what a baby was exposed to in that first year of life. it is such a critical period. jenna: i'm certainly going to, i'm taking this to heart. i wonder if the whole phrase, rub a little dirt in it, in a scratch is really what we should be doing? >> i'm not sure i would go that far. you should still clean out cuts with soap and water, but there is point, too clean is not good. getting our kids to the bath every night is assembly line. we don't do it every night but do it every few days. i can't do it every night with five. it is about moderation and cleanliness and good bacteria.

good bacteria on your skin and gut. so essential for developing a immune system but about nutritional development and getting your intestines to absorb the right nutrients really depend on the good bacteria in your poop. you can't get it unless you're exposed to the dirt. jenna: there you go. i guess there is good takeaway from anyone also really obsessed with hyper cleanliness. maybe take a little break. we'll all take a little break. doc, great to see you as always. thanks so much. >> thanks again,. eric: you don't have a teenage boy in your house. try to get them into the shower. jenna: infants are one thing. eric: wait until they hit 16. i know. coming up here on fonews channel we'll have the very latest on the man arrested for breaking into sandra bullock's home. did you hear about this? she was home and her young son too when the guy walked in they say. what the oscar-winning actress did. we're live with details.
