as for many concerns among members of congress they were not notified 30 days in advance as required by law regarding detainees at guantanamo bay and their release, president obama says that the white house and the administration consulted with members of congress about this possibility. here is what president obama said when asked about the circumstances surrounding bowe bergdahl's disappearance in 2009. >> the united states has always had a pretty sacred rule. with respect to the circumstances of sergeant bergdahl's capture by the taliban, we obviously have not been interrogating sergeant bergdahl. he's recovering from five years in captivity. let me just make a very simple point here. that, is regardless of the circumstances, whatever those

circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an american soldier back if he's held in captivity, period. full stop. we don't condition that. >> president obama was also asked about the possibility these five now freed members of the taliban freed in qatar could try to repeat these offenses and attacks americans in the future again. he acknowledged that was a possibility but said he wouldn't have gone forward with this exchange if he thought it was a risk to american national security. savannah. >> all right. peter alexander traveling with the president. thank you. >> we are also learning more this morning about bergdahl himself and the actions his father took during his five years of captivity. nbc's richard engel at the landstuhl medical center. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. nbc learned the army has planned to launch a high-level inquiry to determine exactly how bergdahl left his base, why he

left his base, and how did six american soldiers die. did they, in fact, die while searching for bergdahl. this comes after several of bergdahl's soldiers, those who served with him, began to speak out. there's growing anger against freed american pow bowe bergdahl, those that served with him. >> not a hero, a deserter. >> seen here in 2009, was pulling guard at his small outpost until a combat medic said bergdahl just vanished. >> he willfully decided to be selfish and to walk away from everything we were trained to do. >> they believe bergdahl had grown disillusioned with the war. unarmed and on foot he was quickly captured by militants.

soldiers laurnled a search. troops say soldiers died because of it. this woman stops short of saying he was the cause of her husbanded death. >> i am more than happy he's not a prisoner of war. i'm not okay with people wanting to call him a hero. >> national security adviser susan rice described bergdahl differently. >> he served the united states with distinction. >> questions about the cost of securing his release, freeing five leaders from guantanamo. hillary clinton weighing in for the first time overnight. >> this young man, whatever the circumstances, was an american -- is an american zen. a lot of our closest allies do prisoner exchanges to get our p.o.w.s back all the time. >> there is also an issue of bergdahl's father, bob. there was an odd tweet last week

allegedly from his account. the tweet said that prisoners should be released from guantanamo bay and that god will repay for the deaths of every afghan child amen. bergdahl's father has not commented so far in the tweet. he hasn't, however, denied that it did come from his account. matt, savannah, back to you. >> former army sergeant served with sergeant bergdahl in the same platoon. went on migs to find bergdahl. six of his fellow soldiers lost their lives. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what was your reaction when you found sergeant bergdahl was found and freed. >> i was quite upset. the first time i saw the announcementish his parents were there on the television being televised. there's so many people out there that have done heroic things that don't get that kind of exposure. it was kind of like -- it was awful.

it wasn't the rooilt right thing. >> you're upset because you believe you know the circumstances of his departure. why do you think he left his army platoon. >> he became dissolutioned with everything. he wanted to go on an adventure and walk the mountains of afghanistan and not have anyone to answer to. >> do you think he wanted and adventure or sympathetic to the taliban? there are reports out there. >> i'm not inside his head but sounded like a wanderlust, wanted to get away. >> how well did you know him? you were in the same platoon. >> pretty well. only a few friends when he left. he wasn't a person socially liked. i was one of his friends, yes. >> what kind of soldier was he? >> he was a good soldier. he tried very hard. he was motivated. especially when we were deployed after certain things happened, he became very dissolutioned with what actual combat was and what it was actually like over

there and that's when he started it really drift. >> i know you believe in your heart that six soldiers died while in the process of looking for sergeant bergdahl, three of them were close friends. you have their names tattooed on your back. is that part of the reason it's so painful for you? >> i mean, yeah. i took it personally, but i don't think it's particularly because i chose to do that. i think it's because we all served together and we were all in it together over there. and he broke that bond by leaving us. >> i have to ask you, the president just said overseas that there's a sacred obligation to rescue prisoners of war, that the military knew the circumstances of his disappearance and rescued him anyway. does it bother you that he was rescued, or does it bother you that some in the administration have portrayed him as a hero? >> i think the bigges problem is publicizing the possibility of

him being a her okay. after being in afghanistan, obtaining targets like these commanders, it was really hard for our unit. it wasn't easy to do that. you're going to let these guys go for someone you're saying you know walked away. that's not right. >> good to have your perspective. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> we want to hear from you. was the bowe bergdahl release the right thing to do? you can join the conversation. carson will have the results in a moment. >> be interesting to hear that, savannah. thank you very much. in the meantime san francisco media consultant who became the focus of an intense fbi manhunt is now behind bars this morning. the suspect wanted for possessing explosives. nbc with the latest on this. >> reporter: the search for ryan chamberlain sparked a nationwide manhunt, although he was arrested in the city where he lived, san francisco. >> he was getting cuffed, yelling at hill to get his arms behind his back. >> reporter: he shot video from

his phone as the three-day search came to an end. >> up against the police car, still filming it. the police saw i was filming it, he saw i was filming i and said help. >> it started friday after the fbi said they found explosive materials inside his apartment. it's not clear why they were investigating the media consultant in the first place. but monday morning in the middle of the manhunt, posts and on chamberlain's own social media sites. one said, "i explored some ugly websites a year ago. i was depressed." didn't go into detail but said i guess i did enough for the damage to be done. the manhunt came to an end near the golden gate bridge. two police officers spotted a car that looked like the suspects and the license plate matched. chamberlain was quickly and peacefully taken into custody. joe fryer, san francisco.

many bracing for strong storms, winds and possible tornadoes. al is on the road in dallas this morning but he's following what to expect. al, good morning to you. >> savannah, thank you so much. this is a dangerous situation. we've got a very vol tell mix coming in the atmosphere. lets show you exactly what's going on. first of all we've got a lot of moisture coming up out of the gulf. we've got a very vigorous jet stream and low level winds coming on top of this. that starts to get that upper energy going. you get a twist in the atmosphere, unstable atmosphere, and a strong wind shear. so as you look and we put the action in motion, can you see those thunderstorms firing up this afternoon on into tonight. this is what's so disturbing. strong storms happening overnight. you're twice as likely to be killed in a tornado overnight as you are during the day. a widespread area of showers but a slight risk of strong storms from montana all the way on into illinois and a strong risk of storms as we move closer in stretching from nebraska on into missouri and central iowa.

greatest quarterbacks in embezzle history. now he's among former players suing nfl claiming the league new for years there was a link between concussions and long-term health issues and misled players. marino, quarterback, known for durability over 17 seasons and still owns several nfl records is programs the biggest name joining the lawsuit against the league. the issues of concussions continue to plague the league. there are at least 300 lawsuits claiming similar negligence by the nfl. natalie. >> thank you. we've talked across the country about boosting minimum wage. workers in seattle are soon going to be seeing the big boost. seattle city council passed an ordinance that bumps minimum wage up to $15 an hour. that's the highest in the nation. it would go into effect next april but phased in over several years. small businesses will be given special consideration. in the wake of a scandal rocking veterans affairs,

republican senators are now introducing a bill that would allow u.s. vets to seek medical appointments outside the v.a. hospital system. they say the veterans choice act would provide with greater flexibility and choice and health care providers. it has come under scrutiny after v.a. hospitals uncovered how long vets were waiting to see car. dozens of hospitals under investigation for chronic mismanagement. and now back to that incredible video we showed you at the top of the show. as we said, it wasn't just a day at the beach for one sunbather in germany. take a look at what happened when a plane came in for a landing at a small airstrip. the plane comes inches within hitting the man lying straight down. he said he realized it was headed for him a couple of seconds too late and ducked down. the pilot admitted he misjudged the approach. you think? needless to say i think the

sunbather moved to a new spot to soak in the rays. i'm more concerned about the sunbathing next to the strip. >> not be able to use that swimsuit ever again. >> thank you. >> new definition for landing strip. >> all right. lets get more on the weather. al roker down in dallas, texas. al. >> that's right. we're here at pioneer plaza. it's going to be a hot one today. lets show you what else is going on around the country. i told you about the severe weather. we're also looking at a lot of weather weather moving into the northeast this afternoon, on into this evening. some airport delays, the heat is on the in the southwest. we'll detail that. gorgeous day in the pacific northwest. seattle you're looking for sunshine and 73 degrees. we're going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds.

they just don't pay for the football uniforms anymore or the band instruments. kids have to raise the money themselves. we've all seen those weekend car washes. well, who runs those fundraisers? local booster clubs run by parents, volunteers. but our investigation found some of those parents are actually pocketing the cash. we're talking big money, too. tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars. it's the ultimate betrayal. this school marching band had no idea this local mom was robbing them blind. >> why did you do it? >> that's her. kimberly copatello. she was treasurer of their school booster club in virginia, a group run by parents to raise money for the kids in the band. >> we don't get anything from the school. pretty much the band is run off of fundraising. >> reporter: you need this money. >> we need it. >> reporter: that's what makes this crime so heartless. kimberly was writing checks to herself from the booster club

bank account. >> she was, like, another mom. she would always be there to help you out with anything you needed at band. >> reporter: meanwhile, she's stealing from you. >> straight out from under us. >> reporter: and she stole a lot. nearly $14,000 gone. the kids were left with nothing. say goodbye to band scholarships and new uniforms, they couldn't even fix their instruments. >> if this duct tape wasn't here, the trumpet wouldn't stay together. >> reporter: kimberly was busted when the booster club started bouncing checks. she was arrested and pled guilty to embezzlement. the sentence, 90 days in jail. she's out now. >> reporter: jeff rossen from nbc news. >> leave me alone, please. >> reporter: we caught up with her outside her home. are you sorry for what you did? >> i am. i'm trying to get along with my life. i've had bodily threats to me. i've had people calling my job. >> reporter: what do you want to say to the kids? >> i've already told them i was sorry. >> reporter: believe it or not, she's not alone. our investigation found other

parents doing the same thing. at least three dozen cases since 2011. moms and dads caught red-handed, convicted of theft, from california to georgia to ohio. >> a person could be skimming off week after week, and really, no one would know it. >> reporter: ohio attorney general mike dewine is pushing for more oversight. he says many booster clubs leave themselves wide open to theft. >> they're dealing in cash. they rarely have any internal checks that a business would normally have. they're all volunteers. and people trust them. >> reporter: a lesson learned the hard way for the oscar smith high school band. where kids and parents are pulling together to make up the money. what's the message here? >> we should be able to check on what's going on, because one person can really be the end of you. and it should have been the end of us, but it wasn't. >> as part of her sentence, that mom was ordered to pay

medical center in germany where bergdahl is being treated. richard, good morning. >> reporter: thanks, natalie. nbc news has learned that the u.s. army is preparing to launch a high level inquiry to determine how and why did bergdahl leave his post in 2009? did he leave voluntarily and what happened to the six service members claimed died during the search? if the inquiry finds there's enough evidence it can launch a formal investigation. this happened after several service members who served alongside bergdahl began to speak out. they said that he was never captured by the taliban while on his post. that he left his position voluntarily. wandered off and then was taken captive by the taliban. if the investigation, the next step determines there was wrongdoing it could lead to some formal punitive action, potentially a court-martial or dismissal.

at this stage it's still early for that. natalie, back to you. >> all right, richard engel in landstuhl, germany. thank you, richard. this morning during his trip to poland, president obama defended the deal to win bergdahl's release, no matter how the soldier came to be captured. >> regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an american soldier back if he's held in captivity, period. >> the president also said members of congress were consulted ahead of time about the possibility of a prisoner exchange. a family battle over the care of ailing radio legend casey kasem moves forward today in court. last month, his wife had him moved from california to washington state, but his children are now fighting to bring him back to the los angeles area. nbc's miguel almaguer has the latest. >> reporter: the bitter battle over casey kasem just got even uglier. taken to a hospital for care

feminine names as less threatening. >> i don't know. >> this is what the research says. apparently in a reputable journal, researchers say that changing a hurricane's name from charlie to eloise could nearly triple the death toll. >> that's bizarre. >> it's hard to believe. i do think some storms have friendly names. >> sandy. >> sandy is a friendly name. >> katrina. >> janice. >> irene. >> is you're saying it could be like hurricane cruella. >> xena or thor. >> i don't think the gender thing would affect me. >> if it's category three or four. >> exactly. how high are the winds. >> yeah, it's really surprising. one of the biggest pet peeves in the digital age is the dreaded long e-mail. is anyone here an offender? >> occasionally. >> i wasn't pointing to you. there's a guy. it is a problem, though, isn't it? people just go on and on. so here's a simple rule. going to make sure every single

>> on the first day of the club, we had 76 kids show up. >> reporter: cameron and his family made the video titled "confessions of a bully." >> since i was sad, i could make it up to him and he could feel a little better and i could feel a little better, too. >> we've been getting comments from all over the world from people that have seen it and been impacted by it. >> reporter: the principal says bullying is down in the beaumont, california, school district. thanks to what she calls positive peer pressure. >> when students talk to students, they're at their level. we are so proud of cameron and the work he has done to correct a wrong. >> reporter: a former bully. >> i am friends with him now and i eat with him at lunch and i play with him at recess. >> reporter: changing the world for the better. >> if somebody was bullying another person or teasing, i would say stop, that that's not funny and you should accept the person for who they are. it's not too late to change. >> reporter: for "today," kristen dahlgren, nbc news, new

york. >> i am a big fan of this. first of all, he's only 7. he realizes the error of his ways and changes them. and we talk to our kids a lot. yours are 5 and 2. ours are a little older. schools all across the country embraces programs like this. >> bullying sadly starts at such a young age. >> but this is how you fix it. the wrong is the wrong, we're all guilty of that, but it's righting the wrong. that's the great part of that story. >> let's go over to savannah. >> all right, guys, thanks. now to some exciting results from two new studies presented at the biggest cancer meeting of the year. one looked at a novel treatment for cervical cancer. the other a promising development for preserving fertility in women with early stage breast cancer. dr. nancy is nbc's chief medical editor. nice to see you. let's start with the cervical cancer treatment. this is a very small study, but incredibly promising. >> very promising, very exciting, presented at the american society of clinical oncologist where all the cancer docs get together. a national cancer institute study looking at women with hpv induced cancer of the cervix,

for whom nothing else worked. no chemo, no surgery. depleted every possible thing and were still facing their cancer. nine women had then a little chunk of the tumor taken, and white blood cells, lymphocytos that are found in our bodies, were extracted, grown into billions and reinjected in the body. >> it's almost like using your own immune system? >> so if you have white blood cells act like your army that normally fight off bacteria viruss in some dances, they were able to find the specific lymphocytos that could recognize the virus, hpv, and go after it. so in three out of nine women, two completely cured at this point with the small c, and one who seems to be in early remission. so they're very excited about harnessing the power of the human being in the immune system, manipulating it and targeting some tumors. this may have application to head and neck cancer. it has been used in some other

cancers like malignant melanoma. it's the first time it's been shown to work in cancer of the cervix. >> there's another good development that has to do with people who have breast cancer. something i wasn't fully aware of. women who go into chemo therapy often go into menopause. so this often preserves fertility. >> this is younger women who get cancer who are of childbearing age and still want to have babies. when you get chemotherapy, it works on cancers because those cells are rapidly dividing. it's why women lose their hair. but eggs are popped out every month, so unfortunately sometimes, ovaries fail. so the doctors put women on a drug called zolodex which basically told the ovaries, take a nap, be quiet, don't produce any eggs. they got their medicines. and then the medicines did not cause infertility. it's a real, really important conversation for women, especially young pre-menopausel

women, but all young cancer patients regardless to sit down with an oncologist and say hey look, i may want to have a baby someday. does this cancer treatment make me infertile and what are my options? do i harvest eggs and embryos and sperm? what are my options? >> is this a drug that's available now? >> it's available, it's fda approved. most doctors didn't even know to put their patients on it and think about it. so two very big studies. >> it's exciting. thank you, nancy. >> you bet. just ahead, looking your best and saving money along the way. we will reveal

other side of weather. i want you to wait a little bit. i'm going to tell you whereur next city is and who will be competing to open up this envelope. today a strong risk of storms in the country, west coast spectacular, sunshine, moderate temperatures. rain moves into the northeast. for tomorrow we're looking at more strong storms making their way into the mid and upper ohio river valleys. strong storms in the western plains. the heat returns out west. sunny and hot through the gulf coast. looking for some showers making their way into the northern 8:32. taking a live look at the bay area from space. your satellite imagery shows you, we have plenty of low clouds, but getting some clearing now throughout your inland valleys, and we'll continue to clear out as we head throughout the next couple of hours. as a result, though, those clouds cling to the coastline today. look at the difference, between san francisco, what we're expecting out in the extreme east bay, 20-degree difference because of that low cloud cover.

temperatures are going to stay mild because of the june gloom for one more day. and tomorrow, that heat cranks. hope you have a great day. >> all right, folks. >> all right, folks. we finish up in dallas. city number two in today's treasure. that's right. the peach of the south, atlanta, georgia. we will be there tomorrow morning live in centennial plaza. that is not the location of today's treasure. but we will give you a clue tomorrow morning, and you will be searching for this envelope for a chance for tickets for two airfare, a chance to spend the night and come to any concert we have this summer. atlanta, georgia, we will see you tomorrow. matt, back to you. >> we look forward to that. great job endallas. we'll see you tomorrow. meanwhile, this is a special day for our dear friend giada de laurentiis. she's opening her first restaurant. this is in las vegas. tonight it's happening.

it's called giada. she's with us from her brand-new digs. >> i always looking at you, you're beautiful. >> thanks, matt. >> i'm trying to look behind you and see the digs behind you. it looks great. >> you know, matt, this has been a real labor of love. sometimes more labor than love. the past few days we've been doing rehearsal dinners to iron out kinks before we open to the public. >> i do move quick. >> opening this spot for me personally, it is a lesson in getting go of it, your life, and realizing you're not always 100% control. that's okay. >> rack of lamb, veal chop, salmon. >> a very difficult pill to swallow. construction started on this space last may, so it's been about a year. it is very much like having a child or having a baby in the sense that so much happens to you all in a very short amount

of time. i'm in a situation where i've never done this before, and i'm doing it in a very grand way instead of smarting small, which most people do. i don't have a team that i could bring in, because i never had a restaurant before. i didn't need to. life in the kitchen behind any restaurant is complete chaos. if you request anybody in that kitchen, they will tell you that the person they grew to know from my tv shows is not that person walking through that kitchen. >> are you going to mix it? did you put some pasta water in here already. >> she knows what she likes and she's not afraid to say it, which is the best thing about working for her. you never have to second-guess. >> i try to pick iconic dishes that i knew people loved of mine. >> those scallops look pretty. >> the first day friends and femme -- the first time i saw people eating and drinking in the restaurant with music going

and wen dose open, servers, everybody in their outfits, uniforms, it gave me chills. i also went into the bathroom and cried in one of the stalls. i think the emotion is just so overwhelming. my family is in every part of this restaurant, from some of the recipes to the artwork. this restaurant is like coming to my home. it's personal and that's why it matters so much. >> giada, i can't believe, it seems like just yesterday you were telling me about the beginning of this project. now it opens tonight. at this stage of the game, what is your biggest fear? >> well, honestly, i can't believe i'm here, that we're opening. i think the biggest fear is just getting it right. we've been working so hard to iron out kinks. watching people come through the door, real paying customers now, i just want to see the look on their faces. i'm super excited and super nervous. >> most people know las vegas has changed so much from the days when you go out there from

all you can eat buffets. a lot of chefs out there with great restaurants. how do you make your place stand out? >> you know, that was one of the biggest sort of things i had to figure out. i wanted to kind of create a homey environment, something that felt like they were coming over to my house for dinner. so a lot of the seats i picked out, all of basically the details in the restaurant are near and dear. i picked each one out. a lot of my family photos and my grandfather's movies really figuring out what details i needed in here to make it feel like they were coming over to my house. >> i notice in the piece somebody had a rib-eye, it had had that egg overeasy. what else should i order when i come out there. >> tuscan, meat lovers. lemon spaghetti with jumbo shrimp. one of my pride and joys is big anti-pasta bar. a lot of people can share

appetizers. it's sort of sharing a meal with friends and families as you go through the courses. you know what, it's a huge dream of mine. it's been a lot of hard work. i am so excited to open the doors tonight and see what the reaction is. >> i'll tell you, we want wish you enough luck. have a great time. we love to see liz styling in there who used to work with us here at the "today" show. she's working for you now. is she there? we love her and miss her around here. >> hi, matt. miss you. >> good luck, ladies. giada, congratulations. >> come visit us. thank you. >> we will. all right. take care. coming up from lip balms to hairspray, the year's best new beauty buys, but first this is "today" on nbc.

now to an innovative treatment that could offer relief to millions of americans who suffer with depression. nbc's special anchor maria shriver is here with more on that. maria, nice to see you. >> thank you, matt. about one in 12 women struggle with depression, but nearly half of patients never get treatment, often too embarrassed or ashamed. but exerts say depression is a real disease, one you can actually see in the brain. and now a unique technology could help those who are suffering. people like debbie lee. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> this is the debbie lee most people know. a pastor at her local church, a loving wife and mother of three, lighting up lives with her smile and compassion. but like ten million women in this country, debbie suffers from depression. a lifelong battle she's never shared publicly until now. do you feel ashamed talking to me about it?

>> i mean, it's a struggle. there's definitely a stigma, still. somewhere in the back of my mind, i should be able to control this. >> first diagnosed in high school, debbie says her depression became debilitating after the birth of her children, leaving her barely able to function. here she's on a family trip to an amusement park, where all she wanted to do was sleep. >> inside, you're just -- i don't want to be around people. i don't want to laugh. >> debbie says while medication helped, she lived in fear of being judged, often hiding her symptoms from family and friends. putting on a happy face at church. did you feel your religion judged you, made you judge yourself more? >> absolutely, yeah. there was definitely a sense of, if you read your bible more and if you pray a little harder and you really get your connection with god, you're going to be just fine. and i was not fine. >> today, women are 60% more likely to experience depression

than men. researchers believe due to differences in hormones, genetics and environment. >> depression is really a physical illness. >> one you can see in the brain, says psychiatrist dr. andrew luktar. while the healthy brain is mostly yellow, showing normal functioning, the depressed brain is more red, showing a state of low energy. when you show this image to a person who's struggling depression and you show them that their brain looks different than the "so-called healthy person," what's their reaction? >> it's commonly one of relief. >> while medications can help, they're not right for everyone. >> there was a part of me that's, like, is this the rest of my life? i'm going to have to get up and have to take these pills, and i was just kind of like, i don't want it. >> now experts say this unique brain technology called stms could offer patients relief without side effects. dr. luktar, a consultant and

stockholder in the company behind stms says it syncs to each patient's brain, then stimulates it with low levels of magnetic energy. 30 minutes a day for several weeks. >> and when that happens, normal mood can start to come back. >> his unpublished study of 120 patients found it significantly decreased depression in some patients compared to a placebo. >> stms represents an exciting advance for people who don't want to take medications, can't take medications or who do not respond to medications. >> it made me feel normal. >> patients like debbie, who was in the study. she says stms kept her depression-free for six months. even after she stopped treatment. so, is your hope that this treatment becomes available for people like you to do at home and you're looking to be medication-free? >> yes. >> to be able to talk about it, i'm not less of a person. i'm not disqualified from life. this is my struggle.

>> debbie is now back on medication and says she is doing well. stms, the treatment she got, is now under fda review. but experts say there are many approved treatments from medication to counselling to brain stimulation that do work well for patients. we'll have more on that on today.com. >> that's fascinating. thank you very much. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc. ♪ ♪

from nbc news, this is "today's take" with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist, and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> welcome to "today" on a tuesday morning. it's june 3rd, 2014. a beautiful day outside on our plaza today. i'm willie geist along with natalie morales and tamron hall. al is in dallas, right? >> my hometown. >> the surprises just keep coming with this man. we'll check in with al in just a few minutes. >> looking nice, too, mr. roker. he always brings it. >> he rocks the hat wherever he is, you know i mean? >> and hidden treasures wherever he goes. >> hidden treasures. >> al roker just spreading joy across this great nation. >> that's his middle name. al joy roker. let's get to some news.

this story is just evolving every day. it's been three days since the surprise release of sergeant bowe bergdahl in the prisoner swap with the taliban. new criticism coming out about his conduct prior to his capture in afghanistan. the american prisoner of war held for five years, was captured after he walked away from his platoon in afghanistan in 2009. military officials tell nbc news they believe bergdahl had grown disillusioned with the war. many people have questioned the cost of securing bergdahl's release, as you've heard, freeing five taliban leaders from the prison in guantanamo bay, cuba. president obama spoke about bergdahl's release at a news conference in poland just this morning. >> regardless of the circumstances, whatever those circumstances may turn out to be, we still get an american soldier back if he's held in captivity. period. >> two tracks to this controversy. it's the deal that was struck. should we have given up five

prisoners in exchange. the other side of this now is that you have members of bergdahl's own platoon coming out and questioning his story. savannah interviewed earlier this morning army sergeant josh korder, who served with bergdahl in the same platoon in afghanistan. here's what he had to say. >> does it bother you that he was rescued, or does it bother you that some in the administration have portrayed him as a hero? >> i think the biggest problem is the publicizing of the possibility of him being a hero. and it's also upsetting to me that after being in afghanistan, having detained other high value targets and things like these commanders, it was really hard for our unit. it wasn't easy to do that. and then you're just going to let these guys go for somebody who you're already saying you know walked away. that's just not right. >> sergeant korder is not alone in that platoon coming out publicly saying this guy walked away. >> also the question of lives were put at risk in his platoon. six members who were killed while allegedly out on patrol

looking for him. so there's that question of did he endanger people's lives because he decided to walk off base. >> and many more injured as well. bergdahl's father has become a part of the story. prompted reaction with some of his recent tweets. just four days before it was announced that his son had been released, bob bergdahl tweeted at a taliban spokesperson. "i'm still working to free all guantanamo prisoners. god will repay for the death of every afghan child, ameen. that's from bergdahl's father. the tweet was later deleted. this is a complicated story. >> it is. senator joe manchun of west virginia -- manchin of west virginia was on. i read an interesting post from one of the members of the platoon who says the media ignored their words, that this was not a secret, that the concerns about bergdahl having walked off his post. some of the

deserted. michael hastings wrote about it as well. while it's in the headlines now that he's been rescued or recovered, these allegations were made over the past five years. >> yeah. michael hastings, the late michael hastings wrote two years ago, june of 2012, he walked through this whole thing in a rolling stone piece. >> regardless, the president said today while in poland that the military knew and, of course, the pentagon knew all about the reasons he walked off that base. but at the same time, as he said, the military policy is you never leave a man or a woman behind. so no matter what the circumstances, whether they chose to walk off on their own or whether they were actually taken as prisoner, the policy is you still go in and you get that guy out. i think it's an interesting conversation that we've been having in the orange room today. you saw it seems very much people feeling that -- i think believe at the time when we looked, it was over 79% to about 20% saying -- 79% saying that the military should not have made the deal knowing these

circumstances. but it's hard to say. >> it's hard to say. but the messaging is interesting. again, susan rice was on this weekend saying he served honorably. and that is i think, according to the platoon and many others, a stretch. so the next question is, will he at some point face a punishment if the allegations are true, and that's the other -- you talk about the vines of this conversation. that's the next vine. yes, leave no man or woman behind. but when that person is back home, what then happens, and why susan rice and others perhaps said he served honorably when these allegations were out there. that's another question. >> interesting, though. even sergeant korder did say he was an excellent soldier. he was doing the job. he somehow in that time became disillusioned. it's hard for us to judge his mental -- none of us have been in the combat, and during the fog of war, you don't know what happens. >> but his platoon is judging, which changes the game.

i said forget all the pundits, forget all the writers. his platoon, those men who were there are asking these questions, and they -- >> and the right questions to be asked. >> people who lost loved ones deserve those answers as well. >> and there's an investigation under way where we'll get some more answers on all this. so another story that's caught our attention for an interesting reason, this is so bananas. >> hair-raising. >> you're relaxing on the beach. look up. >> do you have hair on your back? >> the days i don't wax. [ laughter ] you don't ask a woman that. i do. i have it on my lip, too. why are we discussing this? >> surprised to hear that. >> let's get on to the story. >> so, willie, so you're relaxing on the beach. hair on the back, whatever you got. suddenly you look up and there's a plane. yes, that really happened. >> oh! >> the guy is narrowly missed. this is a beach in germany. the plane's wheels actually -- if you look closely, it appears

to graze his bare back. the sunbather said he realized it was heading for him just a couple of seconds before it was too late. he ducked down. the plane hit a wooden fence and sustained some minor damage. the pilot later admitted he misjudged -- i'd say -- the approach. he was attempting to land on a nearby airstrip. how do you misjudge that? >> why is that airstrip right next to the beach? i mean, that's ridiculous. >> that was my question. i'm going to take the side of the pilot. why are you sunbathing right at the foot of a runway? get yourself a little closer to the water. >> he just wanted a cool breeze. it's getting hot. i don't want a drink, so i'll just get a cool breeze. >> that propeller gives you a nice breeze. >> isn't it amazing? he's okay. the plane is okay. >> that is crazy. >> sadly, he said he realized a little too late, as it was coming right on top of him. >> i guess. wow. all right, here is a great story. a really touching story. a family has raised over a million dollars to treat a little girl with a debilitating disease. most of it through a

heartwarming viral video campaign. now, the online campaign is called saving eliza. this was started by the young girl's parents, glen and carol o'neill. their 4-year-old daughter has san felipe syndrome which means she will eventually lose the ability to speak and to walk. take a look at what eliza's parents had to say in this video campaign that has now gone viral. >> i would describe eliza as a very affectionate child. happy. very active. >> it's just great for two and a half, three years, i would say we have just the perfect life. the donations that have come in are going to fund this clinical trial and fund a chance at life for eliza. i mean, that is the hope we hold on to. >> they were able to raise about

$250,000 in their community, but that viral video triggered a campaign, and with that, they've raised over $780,000 from about 15,500 people in just the past two months. and what's really great about the story is the o'neills say about 90% of all those donations were between the amounts of $10 to $50, so just the sheer number of people coming forward and helping with this. and you can contribute to the go fund me crowd funding site. but they need about $2 million in order to get the children's hospital there to be able to really do the research needed. but there is hopefully a genetic cure for this if they can get the research dollars. >> wow. that's the power of social media right there. you can raise almost a million bucks by just putting it up on a site. and your heartbreaks, too, knowing as a parent where the disease is headed. let's hope they can head it off. >> do everything you could. let's get a check of the weather now from al. as we mentioned, he's in dallas

this morning spreading joy. al, what's going on? >> well, we had our first winners of "today's treasure." that hidden cash, tha that @hiddencash craze that was going on out west, we decided to try to do our take on it. so we're going to do three cities. we started in dallas. we had a young couple. the prize, tickets for two, plane tickets for two and overnight accommodations, and a choice of any of our "today" concerts. so we had a young couple, reid and kristen stiller, they won today in dallas. tomorrow, we are on to atlanta. we will have a clue tomorrow morning. we're going to be in centennial plaza. so come on down and hang out as we try to give away some more tickets. now, let's show you what's going on. we've got a volatile weather situation going on. hopefully we're not diverted to the midsection of the country because got a lot of moisture coming up out of the south. upper low developing. plus that jet stream. that causes a highly unstable

atmosphere. a strong wind shear, and so we are looking for development of strong thunderstorms, super cells, along with the possibility of tornados. even a derecho coming out of this thing. but look at this. we not only have that slight risk. imbedded in there is a strong risk, we most likely will see tornados from grand isle, des moines. kirksville. we'll be watching this very closely the next 12 hours because a lot of these storms could develop overnight and that's the deadliest time for tornados. plus, flash flood watches, because upwards of five to seven inch 9:11. good tuesday morning to you. i'm meteorologist christina loren. look at all this progress we're making when it comes to those low clouds. it is clearing out nicely except around the inner bay and the at the immediate coast. but we had enough low cloud cover to kick off the day, to keep our temperatures at bay. they're only going to reach into

>> yes. >> but he's on his way. >> we heard a rumor. so we're waiting for him. all right, so if you love the swimsuit model sports illustrated, remember that? >> yes. >> there is a little bit of a twist on that, okay. plus sized models are doing their own thing. they're like this, you know what, we can have our own calendar. >> absolutely. >> they posed, these women posed in the exact same position as they did on "sports illustrated". >> sexy at every curve. >> this has been online. at first, they're like, we'll do a calendar but we'll see how interested people are before we continue. they only shot a few months. well, apparently, people are into it. and so they are doing the whole calendar. >> it is not something you can purchase, though. you got to go online. it is for free, right? >> yeah, it is free online. and they -- this is a collaboration between a swimsuit company called swimsuits for all and fashion blogger named gabby gray. >> i bet they're still getting

sand out of some crevices. you take the pictures and you don't realize you're going to pay for weeks because that sand gets places you don't realize you have. >> yes, indeed. okay. so we think, curvy, beautiful, et cetera. >> is awesome. >> is awesome. charles barkley -- >> doesn't think so as much. >> stepped into it. this is a bigger topic than what charles barkley said or didn't say. it is about people apologizing. so charles barkley was on the show he has, it is called "inside the nba," where a bunch of guys jaw about basketball. well, he took a little swipe at some women from san antonio, texas, who he thought were -- >> fans of the spurs who -- let's hear what he said. >> let's hear what he said about the women of san antonio. >> yes. >> what kind of women are -- some big old women down there. why would you say that? that's a gold mine for weight watchers. >> why does every conversation about san antonio potentially come around to --

>> spandex. >> no, victoria is definitely a secret. they can't wear no victoria secret down there. it is a secret. some big old women. >> charles -- >> victoria's secret down there. >> okay, so -- >> boy, i thought "the view" was hard to understand. did you -- except for very isolated moments where somebody said something that you could actually understand, what is that? >> okay. on tnt's "inside the nba," he basically said that san antonio is a gold mine for weight watchers. >> which he is a spokesman for. >> right. he lost a lot of weight himself, i understand. >> he lost some. so this caused an uproar. so charles barkley was asked to apologize by some different groups. >> okay.

charles barkley said no, no. i'm not apologizing. i'm not doing it. apparently billboards were erected, they were upset at charles barkley for that kind of thing. so here's the bigger question. when someone says something stupid, or hurtful or whatever, should they have to publicly apologize? should they have to come before the nation, the cameras, and say, i'm sorry for the way that -- we have been seeing a lot of these apologies of late. >> the only kind of apology that actually works is one that your own conscience tells you to make, not one your press agent says you have to do in order to -- i think people can tell the difference when they're actually made. let's see what he did say. he said, some of you people don't like my sense of humor. here's what i got to say, turn off your television, i'm not going to change. okay. but i admire his honesty if he doesn't feel like -- we all say things.

i don't think he hates heavy women or -- he said, big, old women. i should be really angry, but -- >> we don't live in san antonio. >> but i think it is a constant -- you know, some things you say in jest. you got to know the person, and the intent of the heart. >> think about all the apologies over the years. hugh grant, remember, he went on jay leno and apologized. >> he had to. >> david letterman apologized after he had some affair with his staff member. alec baldwin said he was sorry after he yelled at his daughter on the cell phone calling her a rude, thoughtless pig. politicians, i'm sorry for what i did, i hurt my wife, i hurt my -- apologized after all of that, took him a while. reese witherspoon had to say she was sorry after that video when she was arguing with the police officer. paula deen said she was sorry, justin bieber said he was shory.

charlize theron -- >> i don't think she said anything yet. >> she recently compared the scrutiny that she got as a celebrity to rape. now, i heard her -- i heard the tape and i thought, well, you know, she sort of means being violated. that's what i got from it. >> unfortunate choice of words. >> she's done some speaking for rape victims and things like that. but everyone was, like, she doesn't know what that feels like, she needs to go, you know, she needs to go and apologize. we had our own way to save us from stupid things we said, and we say it daily. we say dumb things on our program. and people sometimes ask us, kathie lee would like to apologize for what she just said when she's currently saying and what she's about to say. >> right. >> that worked well. >> done with tongue firmly planted in cheek. >> yeah. >> because i think if people get to know you through the years, they know the intent of your heart and they know you're not trying to hurt somebody, not trying to be damaging to anybody, and i don't know.

but look at justin bieber, what he just said, the n word thing. well, donald sterling was made out to get -- he's got to sell the clippers, right? because there is a pattern of racism, a pattern of racial comments. but if you look at justin bieber's life, he was -- his mentor is usher who is african-american, there is lil' twist -- >> who can remember. >> lil' kim. lil wayne. he hangs out with these people and they're friends. >> they know his intent. >> he was also 19 years old or something and said something stupid. so i don't know. do we really want to live in a world, you guys, where every time somebody says something that is just a little bit misunderstood that they have to just be a cookie cutter person? we live -- we're all unique individuals. and when something is truly awful, let's call it out. >> i agree. i'm tired -- the apologies aren't really -- they don't feel real. they don't feel like -- >> you just continue to survive. >> i think one thing people should apologize for is being

late. don't you? >> like ricky gervais. >> not here yet. >> we reached out to charlize theron, but guess what, we haven't received a response yet. >> a quick question for facebook. do you feel differently when someone apologizes? do you feel differently about the individual or person? do you feel like, oh -- >> and why? >> that would be great. you were very busy yesterday. >> you know what, i was. i went last night with christine and frank over to hoboken, where i haven't been in a long -- a charming little community in new jersey, right across george washington bridge. it was the 75th anniversary of a place called leo's grandevous. and frank sinatra was from hoboken. and you walk in and it hasn't changed. it's been open for 75 years, through world wars, through, you know, hurricanes and downsizing and all kinds of things. a lovely people.

now that her doctor switched her to once-a-day xarelto®, mary can leave those monthly trips behind. domestic flight? not today! like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so mary is free of that monitoring routine. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. spinach? grazie! plus, with no known dietary restrictions, mary can eat the healthy foods she likes. don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling.

if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. switching to xarelto® was the right move for mary. ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. no regular blood monitoring; no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options download the xarelto® patient center app, call 1-888-xarelto, or visit goxarelto.com [ whispers ] the boys start to smell. this bag filled with baseball clothes... let's just say it's got a powerful scent. it's kind of gross. but with tide sport, i can throw the whole bag in the wash, clothes and all and it comes out fresh as a daisy. tide sport. that's my tide plus.

first child, paul. >> 24 hours late, a nurse thought his color was off. he was breathing fast. his heart beat wasn't right. after tests, a doctor told us paul's heart was extremely complex. blood was flowing the wrong way, there were two holes in paul's walnut sized heart and he had three other congenital defects. if paul didn't have complex surgery to restructure his heart, he wouldn't make it. >> while paul battled for his life, we needed to be strong and stay healthy. we prayed. we held him. and loved on him. six years and two more open heart surgeries later, paul is an active little boy. even completed the 5k race for children's national, a fund-raiser for the hospital that saved him. >> great. >> love it. >> great story. >> paul is now almost 7 years old and he's here with his

parents brett and amy and his brother daniel, the best little brother in the whole world. >> this great new book called "special heart:a journey of faith, hope courage and love." what a great family, by the way. >> it is amazing story. and i've been through that with my family member as well, you think the child is perfectly fine, and you find out so soon, you know, they can tell so quickly. and you guys -- the joy of that at the moment, and the panic. >> how did you handle that news so quickly after he was born? >> you know, we were -- the biggest high, we were told paul was perfect day one, day two, we find out he had heart life threatening defects. we were in a low place. we made a conscious decision we were going to be positive moving forward and surround paul with love and positivity. and be the parents he needed us to be. >> during that tough time -- >> it was tough.

we had this -- we had this perfect pregnancy and we were expecting -- the highest of highs. >> and had not detected any problem at all along the way. >> beautiful pregnancy. >> it was great. and then so we went through this journey. and the reason i wrote the book is because, one, paul is doing fantastic. and, two, you know, we thought that this book could help other people. everybody has something. >> or knows somebody. >> or knows somebody, yeah. >> and hopefully can be an inspiration. and make some awareness of it. >> is it hard to watch, sweetheart, when you see everything that went on? >> no. >> you're okay? >> mm-hmm. >> you did that race and everything? >> mm-hmm. >> wow. >> were you guys surprised to see how common heart disease is among little kids? >> yeah. >> 1 in 100 kids are born with congenital heart defects and of those babies, 50% need to be operated on or need a heart procedure within the first year. it is more common than people realize. >> i'm sorry. ultimately it was three little children who had lost their

lives who gave of their organs, their aortas. >> part of the fix, donated baby aorta and three of them, three families donated. so it is a powerful thing. we hope to make awareness about what people can do to get through it. one, accept the help that you -- your family and friends give, accept it. make sure you're healthy. you're not good for anybody if you're not healthy. and think about the other end of the story. for us, it was the power of prayer, for others, just think about what it is like to get to the light at the end of the tunnel and that's -- he's doing great. can we tell them? >> so happy. >> all the proceeds are going to be given to various organizations that help with this problem, right? >> thank you so much for coming to see us. >> i love all the bear hair. >> all right. >> we're back with a live performance by o.a.r. and more of "today" on nbc.
