hospital in germany, fresh details this morning of bowe bergdahl's captivity and recovery. why he hasn't spoken to his family yet and what he knows about the controversy swirling around him. and as we head into game two of the nba finals tonight, the barber in san antonio helping spurs' superfans to quite literally get their heads into the game. we're looking at the barber in san antonio, it's really going to look good on ron claiborne's head. >> no, yours. >> it's yours. >> ron has been trying to get me to do it. >> we're in this together. >> we're in this together, as with everything, ron claiborne. good morning on a busy sunday. we're tracking overnight developments in several stories, including the crash that injured comedian tracy morgan. we just got in this new video and also hearing from morgan's driver who describes the helpless and horrifying moments
7:02 am
after impact. >> morgan still in intensive care this morning fighting for his life. also, we're learning more about bowe bergdahl, how his taliban captors punished him for trying to escape. why he hasn't been in touch with his family since he's been released. >> more on that coming up. we'll start with the magic fading fast in the story of california chrome. the charismatic chestnut colt coming up short in his quest to capture the triple crown since the 1970s. this morning, the owner of the horse being called a sore loser. for what he said on live television right after the race. espn's lindsay czarniak with lot more on that at belmont park. she'll be speaking with the trainer of the horse for his reaction. good morning to you, lindsay. >> reporter: good morning, guys. a lot of controversy surrounding what the owner said. i have to tell you, yesterday, when those horses crossed the finish line here, and it wasn't california chrome leading, you could actually feel a collective sigh in these stands. it was pretty remarkable to feel that.
7:03 am
but this morning, that horse is nursing a sore foot as america nurses sore hearts. >> they're off in the belmont stakes! and california chrome has a very good start. >> reporter: unlike in the derby and the preakness, california chrome didn't break away. after a neck in neck race, tonalist pull ahead in the final stretch. and with him, the hope for history gone. >> it won't be a triple crown this year! it's going to be close, it's going to be very close! >> reporter: california chrome's owner steve coburn's frustration boiled over. >> if you can't make enough points to get into the kentucky derby, you can't run in the other two races. >> reporter: may have eroded some of the goodwill he built up in the racing community when she suggested tonalist used a coward approach. >> resting and showing up only to race the third leg of the triple crown. >> it's all or nothing. because this is not fair to these horses that have been running their guts out for these people. and for the people that believe in them, to have somebody come up --
7:04 am
this is a coward's way out in my opinion. >> reporter: coburn was so worked up, even his wife tried to calm him down. his reaction was quickly sbrerpted by many as a case of sour grapes. >> steve coburn went on a sore loser rant post-race. >> the rant setting social media on fire. #soreloser. prominent racing rider calling it pathetic. one tweeting -- steve coburn needs to learn that if you win with grace, you need to learn how to lose with grace. a commentator writing, quote, i'm glad the horse lost, he's not worthy of owning a triple crown winner. jockey victor espinosa was racing in his second attempt at a triple crown. again came one leg short. adding his horse kicked him self early on. >> i think he stepped on himself out of the gate. i looked down. he was bleeding a little bit and he had problems with the right leg. i had to have the right horse and today he was -- california chrome, he doesn't have it today. >> reporter: california chrome's
7:05 am
trainer art sherman joins me now. and art, what was your reaction when you heard steve coburn's comments? >> well, i didn't really know about it until i was doing an interview myself and i think he was just kind of let down. and probably said a couple of words that he really didn't mean. you know, things out of context. you know, we're in a big race, you can't make a lot of excuses. even though the horse did have an excuse, he got banged by the 3 horse leaving the gate and it grabbed his quarter pretty darn good. it was pretty deep. when he came back to the barn, he was bleeding. we had the vet over, we trimmed his foot. we cleaned up the wound, gave him an antibiotic shot. so he wouldn't get any infection. he was okay walking this morning. little ouchy. but it figured. you know, in layman's term, you
7:06 am
would have to say that was like a broken fingernail. and you know how that hurts when it happens. >> reporter: why do you think he made those comments? >> you know, i really don't know. i know it's something to do with the triple crown, you know, it's wear and tear on you, you run three races in five weeks, it's hard on the horse, and he had this comment to me one time that he didn't think it should be that people that nominate for the triple crown should run in the triple crown, not just pick their races and freshen their horses up. because we know that that five-week period is really tough on a horse. so, i think he was kind of aggravated, having the favorite, and disappointments leading up to this. >> reporter: how much do you think the celebration of the day played a role in it? >> well, i just think -- you know, leading up to that point, you know, you get this real big
7:07 am
high and then the letdown right after. and then being mic'd up in an interview, he probably kind of lost it a little bit. >> reporter: and your thoughts on the horse? you don't think that's a big deal? >> i'm going to bring him home and doctor him up and it will probably take me at least two weeks to get to where he feels comfortable and then we'll give him six, to seven weeks, out on the farm and let him be a horse. he needs to do that. freshen up. we'll look for him around the breeders cup time. hoping he comes back like i know he can. you know, he's a good horse. >> reporter: art sherman, thank you so much for joining us. we're not used to, is california chrome being a normal horse. >> you can see that coburn even startled his wife, with her reaction. >> that was quite a moment. >> of course, you have to feel for the jockey as well, second time going for the triple crown and didn't get it. lindsay, thanks to you. and we're going to switch gears and turn the latest on the horrific highway crash that
7:08 am
seriously injured tv star tracy morgan. the driver of the tractor-trailer that triggered the fatal chain reaction collision has been charged. this morning, the limo driver is recounting the terror he felt. when he heard morgan's cries for help. abc's gio benitez. at the hospital where morgan was taken after the accident. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning to you, bianna. morgan right now in the intense i have care unit here at the hospital. his family by his side. and this morning, we're learning a whole lot more about that horrific crash. >> it felt like an explosion. >> reporter: this morning, the limo driver is speaking out, as we get a new look at the aftermath of that dramatic car crash, leaving comedian tracy morgan and three others in critical condition and killing one of morgan's closest friends and writers, james mcnair. >> i climbed around and heard tracy screaming for help. but i couldn't reach him and pull him. >> reporter: this instagram posted just before the crash,
7:09 am
showed morgan and his team were all smiles after a stand-up routine in delaware, they were on their way back to new york city. >> a great show in dover. a lot of excitement coming home. tracy was holding his baby before we left. he said, i'm holding my princess. >> reporter: police sources tell abc news, that the truck driver kevin roper from georgia was driving this walmart tractor trailer early saturday morning and failed to see the slow-moving traffic ahead. >> i just remember the impact, we didn't know which way was up, which way was down. i don't know if we flipped several times or one time. >> reporter: the truck swerved to avoid the limo bus carrying morgan and six others. but the truck slammed into it. and morgan's limo lost control. spinning into two other vehicles before landing on its side. roper has now been charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. roper was arrested late saturday. his bond set at $50,000. morgan we're told has head injuries. now his friends and colleagues
7:10 am
are sending messages of support. >> it's just a testimony of who he is and who they are. >> i don't know who i am anymore. >> reporter: morgan is perhaps best known on his role on the tv show, "30 rock" and his decade on "saturday night live." remember, sources say that the truck driver was driving that walmart truck you saw in the video, walmart now telling abc news, we're profoundly sorry that one of our trucks were involved. if it's determined that our truck caused the accident, walmart will take full responsibility. dan? >> gio, thank you. we're pulling for tracy morgan. a lot of new information coming out about sergeant bowe bergdahl. we're learning much more about the brutal conditions of his captivity. why he's not ready to speak with his family yet and why his hometown abruptly canceled that celebratory parade. abc's linzie janis has the story. >> reporter: this morning, new details of the conditions that bowe bergdahl was subjected to
7:11 am
while being held by the taliban. abc news has confirmed that bergdahl confirmed he was kept in a metal cage in the dark after he tried to escape. "the new york times" reporting, an american official said, quote, they kept him in a shark cage in total darkness, for weeks. possibly months. a senior defense official telling abc news, it should not be surprising that bergdahl was held in brutal conditions and was abused and beaten. as for his current condition, sources tell abc news, bergdahl who is being treated at an american military hospital in germany is doing physically well. going for walks and speaking to staff assigned to him. but he's not yet mentally prepared to speak to family and friends. bergdahl's next step, longer-term therapy and counseling at a military medical center in san antonio before the ultimate goal of returning home to hailey, idaho. now, for the first time, we're learning why that town canceled his homecoming celebration.
7:12 am
>> there's been some specific threat e-mails toward the bergdahls. >> reporter: the fbi says it's monitoring the situation. the police chief also telling abc news one message hoped that bergdahl would come back with bombs strapped to himself. the threats coming amid controversy about the possible circumstances of bergdahl's capture. he was taken hostage apparently after walking away from his post. sources tell abc news, bergdahl does not know about the controversy surrounding his release and he's not been asked about his alleged desertation. dan and bianna, he doesn't like being called sergeant. he feels he doesn't deserve it. he was given it during captivity. >> a long road to recovery. thank you. meanwhile, hillary clinton is talking about the deal to free bergdahl in an exclusive interview with diane sawyer. let's take a look at the clip. >> did he make a deal with the devil by releasing five taliban? >> i think this was a hard
7:13 am
choice, which is why i think my book is so aptly named. if you look at the factors going into the decisions, of course there are competing interests and values. i mean, one of our values we bring everybody home off the battlefield, the best we can, it doesn't matter how they ended up in a prisoner-of-war situation. >> it doesn't matter? >> it does not matter. we bring our people home. >> she seems to have supported the deal. let's bring in host of abc's "this week," george stephanopoulos. george, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what are the political ramifications for hillary if she does decide to run given that she does seem to be supporting the president. >> absolutely. the president saying no apologies at all for bringing him home. i don't think there's any danger in standing by that. part of the military code. the big questions are now, what happens to bowe bergdahl next? once he does recover, once the
7:14 am
investigation does go forward in how he did get into the hands of taliban. will he face some kind of trial? will he face any more punishment? will the army decide he's already paid his price. >> five years in captivity. so, let me ask you, you're going to air other portions of the interview, between diane sawyer and hillary clinton, including a part diane really presses clinton if she'll run for president. and when she will make an announcement. did diane achieve any more clarity on this issue? >> i think the clarity coming out of this, hillary clinton certainly seems poised to run. as far as when the announcement is going to come, bottom line, i think when she's good and ready. to make the announcement. she's in such a commanding position right now, looking at the democratic nomination. we have a new poll coming out this morning with the washington post that shows that 7 out of 10 democrats want her to get the nomination. that's about as strong of a position you can be in. one big caveat, she had 50-point lead over barack obama in the early stages in the last campaign as well. >> right. right. it's fun to see hillary come up with new ways to answer this question.
7:15 am
george, thank you. >> and diane coming up with many new ways to ask it. >> all right, george, thanks again. george has a big story this morning, including much more of that exclusive interview with hillary clinton. plus the power house round table. it's all coming up later this morning on "this week" right here on abc. >> and of course, don't miss all of diane's exclusive interview with hillary clinton, in advance of her new book, "hard choices," everything was on the table. nothing off-limits. including what hillary has to say about monica lewinsky. it's a one-hour abc news primetime special. it's airing monday at 9:00 p.m. eastern. don't want to miss that. >> a big show monday night. we've got a lot of other headlines this morning and for that, as always, we get it over to ron claiborne. >> hi there dan and bianna. hi there sara haines. hello, everyone. good morning, everyone. we begin with a breaking news story, this developing story out of quebec, canada, where police are searching r for three escaped inmates, escaped from
7:16 am
prison. like a scene from a movie, using a helicopter to make their get away. the chopper dropped down and picked up these inmates and flew off. >> we were talking about inmates so they might be dangerous, so of course we're doing the best we can to locate them quickly. >> and this is the second time in two years that a helicopter has been used in a prison break in quebec. and a dramatic rescue at sea, by the u.s. navy, almost 300 migrants being pulled from a six small boats in trouble in the mediterranean sea on friday. two american ships plucked them from their ships, after one of the vessels began to sink. the migrants were given food, water and medical aid and turned over to officials island nation of malta. thousands of mie grant africa trying to reach italy. and exiled nba owner donald sterling isn't ready to sign off on that deal. to sell his los angeles clippers team. sterling reportedly now says he'll not complete the sell until the nba lifts his lifetime ban and drops $2.5 million ban

7:20 am
we have all seen people painting their faces with their team colors. but that's nothing compared to what one barber in san antonio is doing for big-time spurs' supporters. >> that is really good. >> isn't that good? ron has the story. i don't care which one of you do it, but one of you have to do it. >> the barber's name is joe barajas. he's one of those superfans of the spurs. he came up with a great idea if you're a spurs' fan. cutting people's hair into the images of those spurs players, that's right, you too can have tony parker or tim duncan's visage shaped onto your skull. it's a story that's creating quite the buzz. ♪ slam dunk. the spurs are really doing it on the court but the mvp isn't even playing. >> joe barber. >> reporter: he's someone who can make an ordinary head look like this. that's right, 33-year-old joe barajas sculpted all 12 spurs players faces' into one head. >> took me eight hours to do. >> reporter: calling it the

7:22 am
okay. i don't think they're going to win. okay. >> you don't think they're going to win? >> i'm not sure. i don't think so. actually joe does not limit his talent to spurs' players. he's also done the images of marvin gaye, ray charles, and believe it or not, lebron james of the heat. who are of course battling the spurs in the nba finals they're playing tonight. 8:00 eastern time on abc. dan and i out on a limb here, of course. if the spurs win, we're going to have our heads shaved. maybe we can get joe barajas to do it. go down to san antonio. it's going to look weird. i know. >> you said it on television, you agreed to it. you said my face would be here, ron, sara. i remember. >> this show is really going well for me, ladies and gentlemen, which means it's time to take a commercial break. coming up on "gma" -- >> i'll save you here. coming up on "gma" -- what landed this judge on the witness stand? crying, tears of regret. her shocking behavior and how it affected a death penalty case. and speaking of haircuts, penelope cruz looking almost

the race when his horse failed to win the triple crown. >> steve coburn has more to say this morning and he joins us live from belmont. steve, thanks for joining us. you're aware on social media with people calling you a sore loser. do you regret what you had to say after the race? >> not only no, but hell no, i do not regret it one bit. it's the truth. >> and you stand by those words in your convictions. but, of course, we were watching this on live television, we could see your wife behind you, she seemed to be a bit dismayed. you had some intersection and, changed some words with her as well. how does she feel about it and are you in the dog house with her? >> no, she's still getting out of bed right now. but, i'm here at the park. you know what, i stand by what i said, simply because, there are people who train their horses to run in the kentucky derby and they have to qualify, they have to get points to run in the kentucky derby, you don't have
7:42 am
to have points to run in the preakness or the belmont, but you have to nominate your horse for the triple crown. and that means three. triple crown, three. you might compare this to a triathlon. you got to swim, bicycle and you got to run. if you don't make it in one you're not going to do it in the other two. that's the way i look at this. >> just to clarify for our viewers who may not be up to speed on this. essentially your beef is that the horse that won and beat your horse last night, didn't run in one of the two races leading up to the belmont. and you're saying that's basically a violation of some sort of code. do you think the rules should be changed in order to compete in belmont you have to run in both the preakness and the kentucky derby? >> yes, i do. i mean, think of it this way, okay, it says triple crown, you nominate your horse for the triple crown, that means three,
7:43 am
even the trophy, the triple crown trophy, has three points on it. so when you earn enough points to run in the kentucky derby, those 20 horses that are starting the kentucky derby should be the only 20 allowed to run in the preakness and belmont for the triple crown. these people, they nominate their horses for the triple crown, which means three, triple, three. and then they hold out two and come back and run one. that would be like me at 6'2" playing basketball with a kid in a wheelchair. you know, they haven't done anything with their horses in the triple crown. there were three horses in this race, california chrome, ride on curlin and general a rod that ran in the first two. none of the other horses did. so, you figure it out. i mean, you ask yourself, would it be fair if i played
7:44 am
basketball with a child in a wheelchair? >> well, i understand. >> they're fresh. they're fresh, they come in. >> i understand your point mr. coburn. >> go ahead. >> but what role do you think the leg injury actually played in the disappointing performance yesterday? >> well, he got a quarter tear. the horse to the outside stepped on him coming out of the gate. he got a quarter tear, he'll be all right. i'm going to go over and see him in a minute. he'll heal up and he'll come back. and i just want america to know, i just want all of america to know right now, this is still america's horse. he's the only horse that ran in the triple crown, that won six races in a row. no other horses did. >> steve, i apologize again for interrupting you. we're out of time sadly. we want to thank you for joining us. that's steve coburn at the center of a controversy this morning after his horse failed to win at the belmont stakes.
