radar on the scene. i have no more questions for her. i don't know what to talk about. >> and she is the winningest woman in "jeopardy" history, 20 consecutive wins so far. can julia collins do it again tonight? the quiz show queen is here live and her answer this morning -- >> what is "good morning america." and we do say good morning, america, on this monday morning and what an amazing streak. julia going for 21 in a row tonight. we'll see if it happens, but first a lot of news. busy monday morning. >> it sure is. a lot of details to get to on that top secret deal to free bowe bergdahl, the american sergeant held by the taliban for nearly five years. full team coverage this morning starting with abc's martha raddatz in washington. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, george.

it will be until at least wednesday morning before bergdahl is reunited with his family, all part of a carefully managed reintegration program the military uses for freed captives. right now he is being briefed and decompressing at landstuhl in germany after a harrowing five-year captivity and a dramatic release. 7:00 p.m. saturday with u.s. drones in helicopters overhead in case the deal turned deadly, a team of so-called black u.s. special operators, those who are part of the most secretive missions moved deep into khost province in afghanistan for the pre-arranged meeting. close to 20 talibans surrounded bergdahl. a tense exchange but no shots fired as the 28-year-old was hustled into a waiting helicopter. when airborne, bergdahl scribbled with a pen, sf? meaning special forces? the commandos responding, yes.

adding, we've been looking for you for a long time. bergdahl broke down in tears. it was june 30th, 2009, when bergdahl was captured by the taliban after sources say he walked away from his remote base by himself leaving his weapon behind. taliban videos would soon follow. the third video in april, 2010, a desperate young soldier pleading. >> i'm begging you, bring me home. >> reporter: and back in idaho through the years, bowe's parents just as desperate. his father growing a long beard and speaking pashto directly to the taliban and bowe. >> u.s. sources say bergdahl was being held in pakistan in a city, so a rescue would have been extremely difficult. it is why just 3 1/2 hours after bergdahl was released, that the u.s. freed those five high-ranking taliban from

guantanamo sending them to qatar and leaving the taliban claiming victory. but this morning, there are still lingering questions surrounding bergdahl's disappearance as addressed by national security adviser susan rice on "this week" with george. >> we'll have the opportunity to learn what has transpired in the past years but what's most important now is his health and well-being. >> reporter: but this morning, there is a growing firestorm about the deal to release bergdahl and the circumstances of his capture five years ago with some former and current soldiers i have talked to and others taking to social media outraged by the deal saying he walked away from his outpost willingly and put lives at risk and may have cost lives in the search for him. but u.s. officials have dodged the question, george, as you know, about that publicly. >> yeah, when i asked susan rice about that yesterday, martha, she seemed to reflect the view that whatever bergdahl did five years ago he's paid the price. >> reporter: i think that's

true, george and u.s. officials will say on background that he will unlikely face any sort of punishment for that. >> okay, martha, thanks. george, bergdahl's parents have been on a tireless crusade as you know to free him. they sent an emotional message to their son on sunday who they still have not spoken to after meeting with the president, the white house on saturday. abc's neal karlinsky is in their hometown, hailey, idaho. good morning, neal. >> reporter: robin, good morning. the participants were very emotional in the pres conference. they made clear that bringing bowe home physically and especially mentally may be a very long process. >> you are free, freedom is yours. i will see you soon, my beloved son. i love you, bowe. >> reporter: bowe bergdahl's mother addressing her son through tv cameras after five years of waiting, bergdahl's parents say they have chosen to wait some more, holding off on any contact with their son as part of his careful integration back to normal life. >> bring me home. >> we haven't talked to bowe yet.

bowe has been gone so long that it's going to be very difficult to come back. >> reporter: bob bergdahl showing the beard he refused to shave until his son's release. after so much time alone with the taliban, they say bowe is physically weakened and having trouble speaking english. >> i want you to know that i love you. i'm proud of you. i'm so proud of your character. i'm so proud of your patience and your perseverance. but most of all, i'm proud of how much you wanted to help the afghan people and what you were willing to do. >> reporter: military officials say bergdahl is going through a detailed three-step process to bring him back psychologically beginning with medical treatment and counseling at landstuhl medical center in germany. then he'll continue therapy at a military medical center in san antonio, texas, before his homecoming in hailey, idaho.

>> give yourself all of the time you need to recover and decompress. there is no hurry. you have your life ahead of you. >> reporter: military officials say bergdahl's parents will be key in helping out with the toughest part of his road home, the emotional one. they have no time line on how long it will take to get him back to hailey, idaho, but it may be quite a while. george. >> boy, when he gets there we know it will be quite a welcome but the deal is taking some fierce criticism from top republicans in washington. concerned that cutting a deal with terrorists will put more american troops at risk. abc's jon karl has more on that. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning. the white house is calling the release of sergeant bergdahl a joyous moment and everybody is applauding his safe return. the president is facing severe criticism over what he did to secure bergdahl's freedom. despite the joy surrounding the release of sergeant bergdahl, this morning the president's critics are furious the u.s. struck a deal with the taliban

breaking a long-standing policy of not negotiating with terrorists. >> the number one way that al qaeda raises money is by ransom. kidnapping and ransom. we have now set a price. >> once you start doing it every other terrorist has an incentive to capture more soldiers. >> the five taliban fighters released in exchange for bergdahl are considered some of the most dangerous terrorists detained at guantanamo with ties to al qaeda, the military has labeled each of them high risk, likely to pose a threat to the united states. >> these are the highest high-risk people. >> reporter: the white house defends the prisoner swap saying it had an obligation to negotiate for sergeant bergdahl's release. >> sergeant bergdahl wasn't simply a hostage, he was an american prisoner of war captured on the battlefield. >> reporter: there's a question whether the exchange was legal. by law congress must be notified 30 days before any prisoner is released from guantanamo. the administration said it had to act immediately in this case because of bergdahl's health.

>> we had information that his health could be deteriorating rapidly. >> reporter: national security adviser susan rice told george that bergdahl is in good shape. >> he's said to be walking in good physical condition. >> reporter: the administration says that steps have been taken to ensure that the freed taliban prisoners don't return to the terrorist fight. but beyond the one-year travel ban imposed by the government of qatar, the white house won't say what has been done to ensure they won't again pose a threat to the united states. george? >> a lot more to learn about that. okay, jon, thanks. let's go over to robin. the question this morning just how dangerous those five taliban members really are, men back in qatar and abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with more details on that. >> good morning, robin. all five of the men were once considered senior members of the taliban and this morning the terror group is calling their release a major victory. new video posted on afghan news website shows the five former detainees arriving in qatar with

no sign they're under any sort of custody or guard. in fact, the video and still pictures posted online by the taliban show the men all in their 40s receiving a kind of heroes' welcome. the taliban had been pushed hard for their release. after more than 12 years away from the battlefield, it seems more symbolic than a tactical victory for the taliban. >> we saw that over and over again on social media yesterday. the key questions remains, their release. how does that affect or does it affect our national security? >> well, at one point all five men were described as too dangerous to be set free and of most concern to counterterror experts, mohammad fazl who according to a u.s. assessment made six years ago made public by wikileaks had a high risk to the u.s. and was likely to rejoin the taliban in fighting. so they're out there now and both fazl and another man were accused of serious war crimes involving the death of thousands of shiite muslims in afghanistan. >> something we must keep in mind.

all right, brian, thank you very much. >> thank you very much, brian. we begin with surprising new details in the private jet crash in massachusetts. investigatoring hope to find the plane's black boxes today to find out what caused the $5 million gulfstream to race off a runway and burst into flames. among the seven people killed was lewis katz. the in co-owner of philadelphia's major newspapers. former governor ed rendell was invited on the plane was declined. the woman at the center of donald sterling's downfall is back in the spotlight. there is word this morning that v. stiviano was attacked last night on a new york city street. abc's ryan smith joins us now with the details. ryan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. v. stiviano's attorney tells abc news that the 31-year-old was beaten up by two men about 7:00 last night outside a trendy manhattan hotel. he says she's banged up but okay. the attackers described as white males allegedly followed stiviano after she left a restaurant. hit her in the face several

times and yelled racial slurs. stiviano gained national attention in march after recording donald sterling's racist remarks and despite the alleged attack, no police reports were filed and the nypd says no charges are expected. amy. >> all right, ryan, thanks so much. well, today the obama administration takes a major step to tackle climate change. the new rules will require power plants to cut earth-warming pollution by 30%. opponents say this will drive up energy costs and kill thousands of jobs. a nationwide manhunt is under way for a california man after the fbi says explosives were found in his san francisco apartment. they say ryan kelly chamberlain is armed and dangerous. chamberlain has not been seen since saturday. a magnitude 4.2 earthquake rattled one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in los angeles from malibu to the hollywood hills, so far, no reports of any damage. don't come. get out of the way!

along the east river? and apparently no one knows. so bizarre. >> it doesn't play. people are taking pictures with it. >> anyway -- >> only in new york. >> you should have taken a selfie with the piano. the my oboe from the sixth grade showed up, i think i would toss that in the ocean. that didn't work out. >> it doesn't play but it tweets. >> it tweets. >> okay. we'll move on to phil mickelson making headlines off the course this weekend e speaking out about an investigation into some suspicious stock trades he made and inside trading probe targeted him and one of america's best-known investors. abc's rebecca jarvis has the story. >> reporter: he's one of the most popular and best-known pro golfers in the world. but this morning, phil mickelson is in the spotlight for a different reason. both the fbi and the security exchange commission confirm to abc news each is pursuing an insider trading probe involving mickelson, billy walters and billionaire investor carl icahn. officials say the investigation focuses on specific trades walters and mickelson made in

2011 in clorox stock. those close to the investigation say the trades came just days before icahn announced a takeover bid for clorox that drove up the stock price. officials are examining whether icahn shared details of the bid with his vegas acquaintance walters and whether walters then tipped off his golf buddy, mickelson. last year fbi agents approached mickelson at teterboro airport and questioned him confronting him again last week at a golf tournament. >> i have done absolutely nothing wrong and that's why i've been fully cooperating with the fbi agents and i'm happy to do so in the future too. >> reporter: icahn telling abc news sunday he has not heard from the fbi or s.e.c. and has never given out inside information adding he doesn't even know phil mickelson. billy walters said he had no comment. >> some friend of mickelson's told him it would be a good idea, good time to invest in clorox. if he has no information where that's coming from, it's not

insider trading. >> for "good morning america," rebecca jarvis, abc news, new york. >> and we'll see what happens. lara, we're celebrating the life of someone that many of us felt like we knew her. >> part of our family, robin. yeah, it's true. we are saying good-bye to a tv icon, ann b. davis who played alice on "the brady bunch" the '70s sitcom. passed away sunday at 88 and this morning the tributes are pouring in. ♪ the brady bunch >> reporter: she was america's housekeeper playing the lovable confidant alice nelson for all five seasons on "the brady bunch." >> are you all right? >> i'm fine. noisy, but fine. >> reporter: and while ann b. davis was best known for being the brady's right hand -- >> the songs the way they are nowadays you can't hear the words well to understood something of what you wouldn't have understood any way. >> reporter: and sam the butcher's prime lady. >> i got the boss himself making deliveries. >> reporter: davis' first break

eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.

the murder of another 15-year-old. >> reporter: and when wright confessed to police the first time, they forgot to read her miranda rights. that confession tape wasn't allowed at trial. but this one was. >> the plan came together in about two minutes. >> okay, but that plan happened sunday night that you were going to kill seath jackson. >> this time police had read her miranda rights and asked her to repeat her confession. >> before i told the truth i felt like this was a 10 to 20 pound weight on my chest. like when is it ever going to go away. >> reporter: wright's attorney filed an appeal claiming her statements coerced. on friday three judges ruled the second confession tape shouldn't have been used in court and granted wright a new trial. >> she didn't know what was going on. she was traumatized. they should have spoke with me with her. >> reporter: wright as reported by part of a dangerous love triangle involving jackson and the convicted gunman michael bargo. wright manipulated jackson into coming to the home claiming she

wanted to get back together with him. jackson's mom who took the stand in the 2012 trial told abc news on sunday she is still trying to make sense of the news but believes wright should still be held accountable for her actions. and of wright's two brother, one is already in prison for the crime and the other who was sentenced to life is also getting a new trial. he was 16 at the time. meanwhile, michael bargo, wright's boyfriend and so-called mastermind 121 and the youngest on florida's death row. >> gio, thanks. to dan abrams we talk about this. complicated. one confession before she's read her rights, one after. >> this is a close legal case. remember, the basic principle is if you're in custody and you're questioned and you're not read your miranda rights then that gets kicked out. excluded from the case. in this case, the question is, was the second and third statements that she made, both incriminating all effectively part of one interrogation?

what the court said is, everyone agrees here that she was not read her miranda warning in connection with her first incriminating statement. the police then take a break. they come back, they read her the miranda and start questioning her again. what the court is saying for a 15-year-old and her age was very important in their ruling she wouldn't realize this was now starting anew and as a result all effectively part of the same interrogation. remember, this doesn't mean she's getting off. it just means she's getting a new trial where they can't use this confession. >> and makes it more differ to get a conviction. >> absolutely. this was a very important piece of evidence in connection with the case. >> thanks very much. to a dramatic rescue caught on camera. a driver crashing his truck into the water below. other motorists not wasting a second to save him and pull him out. abc's linzie janis has the story. >> it was a miracle. >> reporter: a miracle captured in these nail-biting photographs. the man in the water on the

was more than a tomboy phase. >> with phases they just kind of come and go. but with gender identity when a child is transgender tip exly nothing fades in or out. >> reporter: the family made the controversial decision to hang their child's identity referring to ryland only as he. cutting his hair and sending a letter to family and friends about the change. >> there's huge benefits of doing this earlier in life. it's really just like they've been handed this gift everyone around them starts seeing them for who they are. >> reporter: the video struck a chord. people.com article drawing more than 1500 comments in just three days. i commend these parents for doing what is right for their child writes one. but one reader commenting, i will never do this to my child. another adding, i find it disturbing. last month ryland spoke about his transition at an event honoring the family. >> my name is ryland michael whitington. i am a transgender kid. i am the happiest i have never

been in my whole life. thank you to my parents. >> reporter: the video encans with his words but for so many, the conversation is just beginning. for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new york. and joining us now with abc chief health and medical editor richard besser. a lot have strong feelings about this story and the big question i think a lot are asking this child is just 6 and you hear him use the term transgender. is it too young for a child to know or to be able to distinguish gender. >> i mean that's the big question that everyone has. you know, the more we're learning about gender the more we're learning this is really hardwired. it's hardwired in the brain and from very early from the first couple years of life children will recognize gender and then start to identify with gender. so here you had a child who from the beginning she felt that she was not alined with her anatomic gender. her parents brought this experts

and felt this was transgendered and thought the earlier they did it the better. >> this is what people have been asking. how do you know the difference between, say, you're a tomboy or a boy that likes to play with dolls? how do you know it's not a phase you're going through? >> that's a big question. being transgender is extremely rare. but going through phases of being a tomboy or being a boy who likes to play with dolls is so incredibly c'mon and that doesn't reflect whether you are going to align with the opposite anatomic gender. that has something to do maybe with your interests which may persist or may fade and change and it's very different. >> what's the connection between gender identity and sexual orientation. >> yeah, this is a little tricky. so gender identification is whether you align with being male or female and transgender, whether that lines up with what you are anatomically. when it comes to whether you're gay that sexual orientation so are you attracted to someone

romantically and sexually who is of the same gender or not? and you can be transgender straight, transgender bi, transgender gay? >> no necessary connection. >> no necessary connection there. >> what can parents do and what should they know if they have questions? >> this is really difficult for people to deal with, so, you know, first thing your child needs from you unconditional love, compassion, they need you there, not judging. get some help on this. talk to your child's pediatrician. if they have expertise or any experience in gender issues go with that. if not, ask them to refer you to someone who does. because this is really, really tricky and really, really confusing. there are many children who will align with the opposite gender physically but it will be a phase but not all. >> okay, got to talk about it. >> that's it. >> you got to talk about it. >> thanks, rich. next up in our "heat index." new survey about changes in the way husbands and wives are managing money. turns out women arering a greater share of family income

than they used to and much more likely to take the lead in financial matters. the survey also reveals 90% of men are very happy in their relationship when their spouse earns more than they do. that's not exactly what we found in the poll and asked you in the flash poll do men like when their spouses earn as much as they do. 48% said yes, 52% said but those living with it actually like it a lot. >> if you're honest as when you're a man, we all feel like there are certain roles. >> yeah, but i'll be really honest if ali made a lot more money than me i'd be totally great with it. >> we're talk a lot about how the men feel. how do the women feel make more than the men? you know, i mean does that -- do they feel like they're sort of pulling more weight? i'd be curious to ask that question. >> that's a good one. we should put that up on the board. and "heat index" to come. right now fans of "the brady bunch" remembering a tv legend

ann b. davis who played the bradys' housekeeper passed away at the age of 88 and joining us on the phone is barry williams. you remember he played greg brady. thank you very much, you know, we all feel like we knew her. you did. what was it like having her be a part of your family? >> well, she was the glue that held "the brady bunch" together. you know, i was -- i'm reflecting throughout the day yesterday about one of the first types that i met her. she was already a big star when she joined "the brady bunch." she won a couple of emmys with the bob cummings show and i knew that this is someone i wanted to pay attention to. but she had a wicked sense of humor. and i remember watching from behind the camera while she was rehearsing one of the scenes for "the brady bunch" and i was laughing along with her timing and stuff. well, apparently i was messing up her timing so she turned around and she said, barry,

comedy is not funny. i was crushed. i thought, oh, my gosh. i've upsetter. a little later i went over and said, excuse me, but what did you mean when you said that comedy was not funny and she said, oh, i was just kidding with you. >> she sounds like she was really someone to be around and just how we felt that she was and what do you think it is, barry. why is it after all these years there's something about "the brady bunch," about all of you that just still resonates with us and stays with us? >> well, i think one of the big reasons is what you saw was the way it really was. we've maintained our relationships all of these years, we've all been in touch with each other. we're very close. we're all very saddened by her loss but, you know, she did live a very full life. she lived it on her own terms and in the service to the lord and i think we're all grateful that she had such a full life and people will be able to

continue enjoying watching her in syndication for years to come. >> it's true. i have the entire dvd set of "the brady bunch." my kids and i can quote almost every single episode. >> so much fun to introduce it. >> i thought about doing a show where you could parent by episode. >> that's right. >> the lessons are still true today. we laugh like we face the same problems that "the brady bunch" did. >> plus we know pork chops or applesauce. we know the two go hand in hand. hey, barry, thank you for making us live and remember ann so well and our condolences to you and everyone who loved her so much. we did too. >> i appreciate that. thanks so much, robin. >> take care now. >> bye-bye. >> bye. so great to talk to barry, ah. she will be missed. all right. finally in "the heat index" everything, jennifer lopez making a surprise appearance in the bronx on sunday. the superstar returning to her roots to give back to her hometown community launching a new healthy living center with
