how did susan rice explain that? >> congress has been briefed on the situation and they were aware that this opportunity existed but here's how rice explained the reasoning and what they actually did. >> when the deal was done and sergeant bergdahl was in u.s. custody is when we began making notifications to congress. >> the congress was notified when bergdahl was in american hands which is before the prisoners had left. >> now, the other point rice made was that the u.s. did not move quickly, they would lose their opportunity, dana. >> erin mcpike, thank you so much. >>> joining me by phone for an exclusive interview is representative buck mckeon. before we start to talk, i want our viewers to hear some of the statement that you and your counterpart in the senate, james inhofe released yesterday. you said, "america has maintained a prohibition on negotiating with terrorists for good reason. trading five seen nor taliban leaders from detention in guantanamo bay for bergdahl's release may have an effect on our forces

you know, it was unfortunate sunday to see susan rice. yet again reading talking points and i got to say it makes you wonder, she did this after benghazi, her willingness to stand up and read talking points that very quickly thereafter have proven to be nowhere near resembling the truth and that is what is going on when s out to talk to eps sending the american people and say things that are false. that's troubling. it's also very troubling to know what kind of vetting did the white house do? for example, the white house in my view should release, should declassified the files on the gitmo five. if they say we should hand terroris terrorists, over, the american people deserve to know what they have done. i'll tell you wa yol you we're k they are considering releasing another guantanamo terrorist. i plan to file legislation to halt releases until we get to the bottom of what happened and provide real congressional oversight. it's really needed. >> they bypassed congress, the intelligence community and military. senator, thank you, apprecia

you know, it was unfortunate sunday to see susan rice. yet again reading talking points and i got to say it makes you wonder, she did this after benghazi, her willingness to stand up and read talking points that very quickly thereafter have proven to be nowhere near resembling the truth and that is what is going on when administration keeps sending senior officials out to talk to the american people and say things that are false. that's troubling. it's also very troubling to know what kind of vetting did the white house do? for example, the white house in my view should release, should declassified the files on the gitmo five. if they say we should hand terroris terrorists, over, the american people deserve to know what they have done. i'll tell you wa yol you we're k they are considering releasing another guantanamo terrorist. i plan to file legislation to halt releases until we get to the bottom of what happened and provide real congressional oversight. it's really needed. >> they bypassed congress, the intelligence community and milita

>> i think susan rice wanted to clarify her comments. obviously she realizes that those comments made a lot of controversy when she first uttered those words on abc when she said that bowe bergdahl served with honor and distinction. she does still continue to call his service honorable. listen to the way she clarifies it. here's a bit of that exchange. >> jim, i realize there's been a lot of discussion and controversy around this. what i was referring to is the fact that this was a young man who volunteered to serve his country in uniform at a time of war. that is itself a very honorable thing. >> honor and distinction. >> jim, really, this is a young man whose circumstances we are still going to learn about. he is, as all americans, innocent until proven guilty. he's been tried in the court of public opinion after having gone through enormously traumatic five years of captivity. >> and susan rice later told me in interview she realizes she's become a gop lightning rod that not only did this interview stir up controversy but her intervie

you've got susan rice back in the spotlight. some criticizing her saying you had these talking points and coming out to be another story. what do you make of the impact on the brand? >> well, susan rice is in the middle of what we call the brand bounce and that is when an unplanned event creates a reaction among consumers toward a brand and a brand bounce can be use goo or bad. you know, in target's case last year with the security breach it wasn't good. but if you're a known brand and you have experience in the public eye, you can weather a bad bounce more easily. >> look at someone like susan rice a woman with a lot of experience and a long track record. >> right. >> what would you say is her ability to do that? >> i think she's an unknown brand, though. to the public. >> do you? >> yeah. i think that because she doesn't have a brand that extends beyond the commentary that she is making in response to these crises type of situations. she's got a harder time weathering a bad bounce. so to me susan rice is a brand, a less well-k

let's not try to politicize against susan rice. let me ask you a question, if we were dealing with a different headline today, if the headline were that bergdahl had died in afghanistan and we were sitting here talking about that today, you would be attacking the president for having done nothing, am i right or wrong? >> i think you're wrong. >> no. >> we should agree at least the president should have consulted with congress about this, because congress -- congress was aware for at least two years that bergdahl was in captivity and there were talks going on and they were trying to strike a deal. shouldn't dianne feinstein, who is the democratic chairwoman of the -- >> let me tell you, give you this one, senator feinstein herself already agrees with you. >> i know she does. >> and the white house apologized today. >> they didn't apologize, they didn't. do you think the republicans would be praising the president for not having gotten him out of there? do you think he would be a hero to you if he died over there? >> i never, ever wa

susan rice spiked the ball on the sunday shows. we haven't heard from one service member to defend the guy. there's a wide gap between the obama story line and that from the guys who served alongside bergdahl. >> this is an example of a very deep cultural divide between team obama who knows nothing about the military. those who actually serve. when you really listen to susan rice and obama, they think zergs -- desert ion is like skipping class. >> is the comments from obama communication process will make your blood boil? >> it happened five years ago. it's been in captivity. i think he's probably the person who knows best what happened that night. >> i think his squad mates have the best indication. >> i don't think that's the case. >> so she thinks our service members are lying. that alone is despeckable, and lieutenant ralph peters differs. >> what you saw and heard was benghazi 2.0. a political funkie in the state department insisting she knows better what happened on the ground than the soldiers in the front line. the arroganc

rice go on tv. >> if i were jay carney, i'd be furious with susan rice. let me step back. the biggest issue is the judgment of the president of the united states and giving up the taliban commanders. that's the most egregious issue. secondly is the whole way the white house and susan rice and d.o.d. did not fill the american people in on all the information about the allegations against sergeant bergdahl. that's why there was a spontaneous anguished outpouring from servicemen and women which is what started the passionate discussion about this. susan rice also said he was captured on the battlefield when the army concluded he walked away from his base. when you're the press secretary and you have the national security adviser going on tv repeatedly saying things undercut by other people in the administration, it's a huge headache and a huge problem. she should be better at her job. >> who's on her team telling her what to say? would you have been in a meeting like that? >> sure. you try to give them guidance and you fire questions at them, they answer and

joining me is national security adviser susan rice. it's great to see you again. >> good to be with you. >> walk me through when you first knew you had a deal. >> well, candy, this evolved over a period of time. going back some years, we have had intermittent conversations through the government of qatar about trying to obtain the release of sergeant bowe bergdahl. it's an extraordinary day yesterday and an extraordinary day for america because a member of our armed forces who had been in captivity almost five years will now be reunited with his mother and father, whom we had the opportunity to see yesterday and who are over the moon. so, it began over a period of months. this latest round began back in the end of last year when we had the opportunity -- >> the negotiations did. when did they say it's a deal, go get him? >> well, over the last several days, during the course of this week, we saw it coming together. but it wasn't done until it was done. an it wasn't until a little before 10:30 in the morning yesterday that we had confir

but what does that say susan rice again on sunday tell vague shows saying that mr. bergdahl served with distinction and honor? she does a marvelous job on sunday talk shows. bill: senator john mccain, himself a prisoner of war for six years in vietnam. martha: he's a football hall of famer who set all kind of passing records in 17 seasons with the miami dolphins. but now dan marino is leveling serious allegations with against the nfl. bill: the city passing the highest minimum tbhaijt cup triand this may be just beginning. >> it's exciting for seattle, the state and the nation. we are about to turn back years of comeng policies that decimate mated the middle class in this nation. it's the little things in life that make me smile. spending the day with my niece. i don't use super poligrip for hold because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well-fitting dentures let in food particles. super poligrip is zinc free. with just a few dabs, it's clinically proven to seal out more food p

how was it that susan rice was chosen? in december of 2012 susan rice said the reason hillary clinton didn't show up on television that morning is she had a grueling weekend and was tired. now, one of two things are true: either susan rice is telling the truth and hillary clinton was tired and she failed to report for duty and therefore, i don't know how she can be president of the united states or, second, susan rice is lying and in fact, hillary clinton wasn't tired and that is not the reason. the fact is, hillary clinton has to answer these questions, number one, and, number two, if she is thinking about running for president, she has been disqualified because of her actions. >> in the benghazi chapter she says that she never saw these demands, the requests from the ambassador chris stevens who was called in the attack. she writes this "that's now how it worked," talking about seeing cables," "it shouldn't and it didn't." do you see parallels between clinton and v.a. secretary eric shinseki who also says he wasn't getti

and did susan rice really mean to say bergdahl served with honor and distinction, or were those just talking points someone told her to deliver? we'll object that in a minute, as well. >>> first, this outrageous comment delivered by president obama from poland this morning. >> is there a possible of some of them trying to return to activity that's detrimental to us? absolutely. that's been true of all the prisoners that were released from guantanamo. there's a certain recidivismtulate takes place. >> the commander in chief cut a deal with the taliban that sent high-level extremists back to the enemy in exchange for one guy who may have deserted, may have collaborated with the enemy or both. and look at what appears to be the euphoric arrival of the gitmo detainees, let's call them the obama five, in a video released by pro-taliban website. matt drudge asked perhaps the best question today -- did obama save a rat? >> the answer is we don't know that. that's what i said yesterday. i'm curious if he had broken the law why he hasn't been indicted. the mistake the obama people made is you
