7:03 am
places. ♪ welcome to "cbs this morning." >> good morning. >> as you wake up in the west, new information about what appears to be a deadly mistake in afghanistan. five american soldiers were killed in an apparent friendly fire incident. >> the soldiers died last night during an operation in zabul province near the pakistan border. margaret brennan is gathering new details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. a defense official confirms it was a u.s. aircraft that carried out a strike that killed five american soldiers in southern afghanistan monday night. an afghan soldier was also killed in what appears to be a tragic case of friendly fire. here's what we know from afghan sources. while the details are still under investigation, it appears that u.s. and afghan forces were conducting a joint security
7:04 am
operation when they called in air support. the resulting strike accidently targeted the american soldiers. now, the taliban's already claiming responsibility for the initial assault that prompted the air strike. in recent days, they've intensified attacks ahead of a run-off i election to decide the country's next president. and these deaths come as president obama recently announced plans to withdraw all combat troops by the end of the year. >> all right. margaret, thank you. and a cbs news poll out this morning reveals most americans do not like the deal that freed army sergeant bowe bergdahl. 56% of americans believe the u.s. paid too high a price for bergdahl's release. just 28% say the terms of the taliban prisoner exchange were reasonable. major garrett is at the white house with what else the poll revealed. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in addition to fears the u.s. gave up too much to win bowe bergdahl's freedom, our survey also shows the deal itself is unpopular. 45% disapprove.
7:05 am
37% approve. 18% have not formed an opinion. but veterans we surveyed have formed an opinion, and most opposed prisoner swap. a majority of u.s. military veterans disapprove of the bergdahl exchange. 65% of the vets saying the u.s. government paid too high a price to secure the release of the american prisoner of war. and the majority of american civilians, 72%, feel that president obama should have notified congress before authorizing the swap of five senior taliban members for sergeant bergdahl. while the president did not give congress the legally required 30 days notice, he did tell between 80 and 90 members of his own administration. word of that left some house intelligence committee members frustrated, despite a lengthy briefing on monday. republican adam kinzinger of illinois. >> we heard nothing except continued excuses of why they didn't come to congress. i didn't get any answer as to why five high-ranking taliban
7:06 am
were traded and why that was a good deal. i think people are even more disappointed. >> reporter: democrat jan schakowsky of illinois felt the ends justified the means. >> i am completely mystified and quite frankly disgusted that there has been a demonization of the soldier. every american deserves to be considered innocent until proven guilty. >> reporter: but the congresswoman said the public should reserve judgment until bergdahl tells his side of the story. before bergdahl answers any questions, military psychologists want to stabilize his emotional and mental health. u.s. intelligence officials are also eager to debrief him about what he saw during his five years in captivity. defense officials believe he spent most of it in mountainous northern waziristan, a remote region of pakistan just across the afghan border. he was moved from one hiding place to the next, often blindfolded during transfers. >> release me, please. i'm begging you. bring me home.
7:07 am
>> reporter: for the majority of his captivity, bergdahl was a prisoner of the haqqani network, a militant group with links to pakistan, although he was ultimately handed over by the taliban. as of today, he's chosen not to call his parents. he remains a patient at a military hospital in germany, and bergdahl's physical health is improving. officials say bergdahl has no apparent chronic diseases that would prevent him from returning to the united states soon. his return date has not been announced. charlie? >> major, thanks. criminal charges are possible in the veteran's health care scandal according to the va's inspector general. on monday, the department released an audit of va hospitals and clinics across the country. it shows 57,000 military veterans have been waiting more than three months to see a doctor. and another 64,000 appear to have fallen through the cracks. as wyatt andrews reports from washington, those veterans enrolled for care but never got an appointment. wyatt, good morning. >> good morning. this audit, which was launched just after the phoenix investigation, reveals the number of veterans waiting for
7:08 am
their first appointments and a scheme inside the va to hide wait times because bonuses were on the line. just after the report was released, a top va official appeared on capitol hill to explain and to apologize. >> please be seated. >> at a hearing of the house veterans affairs committee, the va's deputy undersecretary for health care called the backlog and the cover-up a failure of basic honesty that the va is determined to correct. >> there are systemic and totally unacceptable lack of integrity. this is a breach of trust. it is irresponsible. it is indefensible. and it is unacceptable. >> the audit explains that at least one va scheduler said workers were ordered by supervisors to alter wait-time reports in the va's computers. a whistleblower at the hines va hospital in illinois demonstrated for cbs news. the manipulation was to change
7:09 am
the veteran's desired date for care to whenever the next appointment was, even if months away. when the desired date is the appointment date, here's what the computer shows. >> the computer sees no wait time. >> at the hearing, the va's acting inspector general richard griffin said 69 va medical centers are now under criminal investigation. that's up from 26 last month. griffin said he is targeting the supervisors who ordered the false reporting of wait times. >> when sufficient credible evidence is identified supporting a potential violation of criminal law, we are coordinating our efforts with the department of justice. and once someone loses his job or gets criminally charged for doing this, it will no longer be a game. and that will be the shot heard around the system. >> the va announced it's now trying to call a total backlog of 90,000 veterans to schedule
7:10 am
appointments as soon as possible. it also eliminated all bonuses tied to the va's target of making appointments within 14 days. the goal the audit says encouraged the cover-up. norah? >> wyatt, thank you. this morning, the white house is calling a surge in immigrant children an urgent humanitarian crisis. the border patrol in arizona is holding hundreds of children sent there after crossing illegally into texas. >> reporter: good morning. good morning to our viewers here in the west. many are being bussed in. others are being flown here. this facility is struggling to figure out ways to deal with all the unaccompanied minors that have come here in such a short period of time. the government is also trying to figure out what to do with all the undocumented children. these photos reportedly show the situation inside the border patrol facility in arizona. hundreds of children sleeping in makeshift beds under foil blankets. the images are prompting locals
7:11 am
like paula and her two daughters to take part in a donation drive for the kids. >> what are you hoping these things do for those kids? >> that people from the outside are thinking about them. we care about them. >> reporter: they're bussed in daily from texas, where border facilities are seeing more than they can handle. according to the u.s. border patrol, the number of children caught entering the u.s. alone has skyrocketed to more than 47,000 in just the first six months of this year. that's almost double the amount of children caught all of last year. the white house is calling on multiple government agencies to work together to address the situation. >> to make sure we have adequate resources to deal with this influx of unaccompanied minors we've seen. >> reporter: border officials say most of the children are apprehended in it the rio grande value lley of texas. they're primarily from three countries, guatemala, honduras, and el salvador. the issue spreads beyond
7:12 am
arizona. some children will be moved to military bases in california, texas, and starts next week to oklahoma. that state's governor calls the situation alarming. >> children that will be staying on a military installation, which is for military purposes, and coming under who knows what type of conditions they're going to have all kinds of health needs, education needs, certain language barriers. >> reporter: the children will stay here while their deportation process begins, and they'll eventually be sent to other places. meantime, the obama administration has asked for more than $1 billion to try and help fix this problem. >> thanks. with us now from capitol hill, republican senator marco rubio of florida. he's a key supporter of immigration reform and a leading critic of the va health system. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> if you heard the report, what should we be doing about those undocumented kids which are increasing in size? >> yeah, it's an alarming story. i think we need to -- one of the things we've been challenged
7:13 am
with is what's our response? we've had mass migration issues before, certainly in florida. we faced that a number of times with rafters from both haiti and cuba. i know how difficult this can be on everyone involved. we're talking about children here. in some instances, children with their mothers. this is something we should approach first and foremost as a humanitarian issue, not simply an immigration one. there are some deep-rooted issues driving this. there are, for example, reports of some rumors circulating in some of these countries that if you're able to get here, you're going to be able to stay. that's something we need to address with those governments. border security in the long term will be important as well. but right now, immediately, we should be concerned about the humanitarian aspects of it. having a large number of children crossing that border by traffickers is just going to be a magnet for all sorts of bad actors to try to take advantage of this. so i hope we can come up with a bipartisan plan to deal with this on an emergency basis. >> when will we have that, number one? number two, you got into some political pushback on immigration reform. when will we see thorough
7:14 am
immigration reform? >> well, on the first end, i think we're struggling to find how to handle this situation. because it's a very serious one involving children. the most vulnerable of all people. so my hope is that we'll be able to put a group together to work on some answers. as far as the politics of immigration reform are concerned, it's the right thing to do for the country. i recognize there is political resistance to this issue. but those of us who were sent here were not sent here to simply poll well. we were sent here to make a difference. this is related to it. somehow we have to focus on it in that way. but beyond t i would say we have significant problems with our legal immigration system. a number of countries are now coming here to recruit our most talented graduates away from us. >> senator, 47,000 children since october. they are in this country illegally. should they be deported? >> well, i think first of all they should be treated humanely as possible in the situation as long as they are here. i think what we have to think about is on the one hand, some
7:15 am
of these children do have well-founded fears about returning home. each of those should be analyzed on an individual basis. i do fear, however, that if you allow children to come here and remain legally, you're going to create a precedent, not for 47,000, but for 147,000. we have to be very careful about that because suddenly you have unwittingly in an effort to do the right thing or a good thing unleashed a massive humanitarian crisis. >> i want to turn now to the benghazi story. in an interview last night, hillary clinton said she does not appreciate the politicizing of the benghazi attacks. when asked if one -- if it's one more reason for her not to run, here's what she said. >> actually, it's more of a reason to run because i do not believe our great country should be playing minor league ball. we ought to be in the majors. and i view this as, really, a diversion from the hard work that congress should be doing about the problems facing our
7:16 am
country and the world. >> senator, is this minor league ball? >> i don't think the issue of benghazi is minor league ball. four americans lost their lives serving our country. we need to investigate it to understand what went wrong so the people responsible for those decisions can be held accountable and so we can put in place measures so it never happens again. that, to me, is a very valid inquiry. the state department had at its disposal a steady stream of reporting about how much danger that facility was in. it is a fact that they did not take sufficient security measures, and it is a fact that perhaps they shouldn't have even been there. and it's a fact they did not have an extraction plan in place that was sufficient. who made that decision, and is that method of operating still in place now? because americans serving in tripoli, today in libya, are in similar danger. i think those are legitimate inquiries. if she thinks that's not something we should focus on, then perhaps that gives you some insight as to why this happened in the first place. >> well, she had apologized because she said it happened on her watch.
7:17 am
do you hold her personally responsible for the security failure that you cite? >> ultimately, this was a systemic breakdown of the state department security apparatus. she ran the state department. she should have known of the dangers that existed there. in fact, in a hearing we had here a year and a half ago, i asked her specifically about meetings she had the libyan government in which she was made aware of the fact that many of these militias providing the perimeter security were unreliable and how dangerous benghazi had become. the brits had pulled out of benghazi. the red cross had pulled out. the u.s. facility had already been previously targeted. so not only has she not been held responsible, no one has been. i think four individuals were suspended with pay. all four returned to work. who made this decision not to have sufficient security, and are those types of decisions still being made? those are valid inquiries. she has to have some level of responsibility because if she's going to brag about her time at the state department, she also has to talk openly about their
7:18 am
failures. >> senator rubio, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. a massive oregon wildfire this morning is forcing dozens of people to flee their homes. the fire is just west of bend, about 116 miles southeast of portland. so far it's burned around ten square miles and is about 25% contained. millions of people in the eastern half of the country face a very severe storm today. >> good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. we're looking at intense heat continuing across parts of the inland west again today. 106 in las vegas. 110 for phoenix. temperatures will be cooler near the coast. portland topping out at 75 degrees. and seattle at around 68. dry conditions will prevail in the west as well. maybe a few scattered showers up in the pichk northwest, primarily washington state. dry in oregon and across much of california over the course of the next few days. but there will be a risk for severe weather today anywhere from the gulf coast all the way up to the ohio river valley.
7:19 am
the risk for severe winds, for large hail, and also for tornadoes, but we're also looking at the potential for maybe some flash flooding across that very same area. >> megan, thanks. donald sterling says he's not finished with the nba. this morning, the los angeles clippers owner no longer supports a deal to sell the team. his lawyer says sterling is reviving a billion-dollar lawsuit against the nba. and it is now 7:19. ahead on "cbs this morning," we're like to look at headlines from around the world. plus, the radical views of a married couple,, from the kpix 5 weather center. good morning everyone, taking a look outside this morning, we are cooler than 24 hours ago. leading us to believe it's an on shore push that will result in a cooler day. 50s and 60s out the door this morning and later today out of the triple digits. 60s beaches and bay to the low 70s. otherwise through the 80s into the mid 90s and our inland areas.

8:33 am
economy. people say it's getting better. what does it need to pick up a higher level of growth? what do we need for spurt in the global economy? >> that's the big issue. people don't just think it's growing, the economy is growing. the u.s. is especially growing. i think it's -- i can't think that growth is embedded but it's not growing fast enough to increase the amount of jobs. the federal reserve feels a burden to move it along. we have a situation where we have growth in the united states, but central bank policy in the united states and central bank policy around the world in japan and china and, of course, in europe, most recently is to be stimlative. all of that is very, you know, is meant to take the market forward and increase gdp. >> people look at corporations in america and say they are sitting on a lot of cash. why aren't they spending that money on plants and new
8:34 am
employees? >> there was a big trauma in the financial crisis. interest rates are very low. to be able to borrow money near zero and companies not to put money to work they get at 0% and think they can make a profit. >> why aren't they doing it? >> economics. you are dealing with sentiment. you try to advance it along. i think legislation is not a tool that is available. not going to be a lot of legislation in this country because of the divided congress. the federal reserve is left with the policy to carry. you are hosting the summit this week. what are you hoping to see to capitalize on the energy boom? >> a few things need to happen. we should recognize what a blessing that north america and the united states in particular has. all of us, of our age, grew up
8:35 am
in a world where we took it for granted we were going to have to import energy from some of the most troubled places in the world. some of them have troubles because they have energy in the first place. now, all of a sudden, we have a different view forward. if you want to think how it would change the world going forward, think how it might have been different if we didn't have the energy situation we had. think of what we had to do to secure the feelings, the economy, the stresses and strains we have. going forward, we have a terrific situation going forward. we should recognize it. it's a gift that's going to have to be picked up. we have to meet it. regulation has to be clarified. very hard to go out and make big investments to take advantage of the shale energy if we don't know if it's always going to be there, what price it's going to be there, whether it's going to be exported or go and affect

subsidized u.s. manufacturing. there has to be clarity before people are willing to make investments with a five or ten year payback. >> america is increasing energy independence as a brighter spot in the u.s. economy. what is the biggest worry for you? what worries you? >> well, you know, the people on both sides of this, first of all, everybody is proenergy and pro-environment. it's not a question of everybody being right and everybody wrong, everybody is right. you have to reconcile the concerns. the country needs to grow economically. we need to have jobs. that's an impairtive and we need jobs and growth in a sustainable way so those interests have to be reconciled. >> charlie brought this up about the amount of cash american companies are sitting on, 1.5 trillion dollars, yet the unemployment rate trickled down
8:37 am
but wages have not risen. how do you deal with income and equality as the ceo of goldman sachs, what do you think of income and equality? >> well, income and equality is a destabilizing thing in the country. it's responsible for the divisions in the country. the divisions could get wider. you can't legislate and deal with problems and drive growth and you can't drive the success of the country. it's a big issue and something that has to be dealt with. one of the ways of dealing with it is to make the pie grow and people are better at making the pie grow, but i have to say, too much of the gdp over the last generation has gone to too few people. >> you want to have -- the economic system has to do two things. you have to grow a pie and distribute it in a proper way. both contribute to the stability of society.
8:38 am
if you grow the pie, but too few people enjoy the benefits and the fruit, you have an unstable society. >> people like tom and hillary clinton, they are making this danger of income and equality in the way the top 1% and what they represent continues. >> part of this, listen, yes, full stop. if there's a lever to pull and button to push, you pull it and it would be pulled and pushed. people are trying to grapple with the reasons for it. for example, technology, media, the new economy. if you do something really well, the entire world beats a path to your door. the number three, number five, number 400 player gets nothing. it's winner take all. jobs, the world has been enriched by the fact that it's been flat and that manufacturing could go, labor could go to the cheapest places. it's a one world barriers have
