And constitutional questions surrounding the price of obtaining his freedom. Five guantanamo detainee, taliban members to get him back. Either way Sergeant Bergdahl will be heading home. Hes in germany, where Nic Robertson joins us and ed lavandera is in his hometown of haley, idaho. The administration said they were concerned about Sergeant Bergdahls acute health problems. What do we know about his medical condition . Hes in stable condition but his condition requires hospitalization they say. They are focusing on his dietary and nutritional needs, essentially what he was eating while in captivity wasnt enough so thats what they are to discussion on. Also his psychological recovery, thats whats being worked on as well. Hell be questioned and talked to as well. Does he have any useful actionable military actions. But it does seem to be his diet, what hes eating, his basic physical health. Thats the biggest concern at the moment. Ed, youre in his hometown. Very tight community. Whats the reaction there to his release . Reporter well, simply here ecstatic. Ive been coming here for five years and it struck me theres a lot of signs that were put up five years ago that said standing with bowe or other yellow ribbons. Over the course of five years those banners and those ribbons, the changing of the seasons here have taken its toll on them. They all look very weathered but they are all still there and across many of them signs yellow signs that have gone up mission accomplished, bowe is home. Theres a feeling of ecstatic and overwhelming joy that hopefully they say in the coming weeks and perhaps even just a couple of months from now bowe will be coming back theyre haley, idaho. I talked to several people that served with him who believe hes a deserter. Clearly people in the town have heard that criticism. What do they make of it. What have they said to you . Reporter theres no question. They are fully aware not only of the criticism that the Obama Administration is the undergoing but the criticism of Bowe Bergdahl directly. And many of the people closest to the family at this point are just trying to deflect those questions and say, look, were going to leave the politics and those kinds of discussions, well leave that to the world outside of haley. They say they would much rather focus on set up an environment in a place that Bowe Bergdahl will be welcomed home to the help in his transition back to civilian life in normal American Life here in idaho. Hell be transferred from germany to san antonio, texas to a facility there. Is it clear when that transfer is going take place. Do they know yet . Reporter they dont. What they are saying the recovery will go at the pace that hes comfortable with. What doctors are saying they are sensitive to everything hes been through and having said that, they only are beginning to learn everything that hes been through, the psychological recovery, try to help him regain perspective, control over his life. You and i are used to making a decision about what we want to eat tonight, what were going to do tomorrow. One of the thing doctors will be doing is reintroduce him to those concepts. Under captivity those decisions werent his to take and make. He didnt know what he would get to eat or what would happen the next day. How many times, for example, was he put through mock executions. Doctors are figuring that out. Its all to be determined. His father describes it as a deep dive. Coming up too fast could kill him or make him worse. So thats what the doctors are saying. Its the pace of recovery is really dependent on Sergeant Bergdahl and that really will, therefore, determine just 0quickly he can make that flight back to the United States, anderson. Thanks very much. More now on the five guantanamo detainees who are now in qatar tonight. Pamela brown has that angle. Reporter the men seen here in video released by an Afghan News Agency were greeted as heroes when they landed in qatar. For years they were considered extremely dangerous by the u. S. Government. I dont think anyone harbors any illusions about these five taliban members and what they might, might do if they were transferred. Reporter that stance changed saturday when the men were allowed to leave Guantanamo Bay. Among the detainees released is khair ulla said wali khairkhwa. Another one, Mullah Mohammad fazl. And mullah Norullah Noori said he was not expected to the taliban. U. S. Intelligence sources said Abdul Haq Wasiq said he claimed he was arrested while trying to escape. And finally chief of communications, Mohamed Nabi Omari helped prisoners escape from afghanistan. U. S. Officials wont elaborate on what exactly those assurances were and added they were not negotiating with terrorists because qatar officials helped secure the exchange. Theres a one year ban on travel for the men. Pamela brown, cnn, washington. Lets dig deeper now in the circumstances of their release and whether president obama broke the law by not notifying congress 30 days before it happened. Diane fine stain said it would have been better if they were informed. Chambliss said he doesnt believe the claim that the u. S. Needed to act quickly. Jeff, there are a number of voices on capitol hill saying the president broke the law by not giving congress 30 day warning on the prisoner swap. Do you agree . Do i. I think the law very clear. The law says if you are, you the president , are going to release anyone from guantanamo, you have to give congress 30 days notice. Now when the president obama signed that law he put in a signing statement. He said i believe there is an exception for exigent circumstances for emergencies and he says today this was such an exception. Signing statements are not law. Signing statements are just the president s opinion. And no one said that law was unconstitutional. No one challenged it in court. And the law was on the books. So maybe he thought he had a good reason. Maybe that law sin fact, unconstitutional. But it was violated. And i just dont think theres any doubt about it. Michael, the other thing thats obviously raising a lot of concern a lot of people voice especially within the military communities saying Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter he walked off his post and should be held accountable for abandoning that post. Do you expect the military to, in fact, try hold him accountable and put him on trial in some way . I do. I expect the military will try to Court Martial him in some way to make sure that hes given a hearing to determine how he should be discharged from the service. Obviously if he was captured or returned to the base two hours after he walked off he would have received some type of punishment, would have gotten not additional punishment, reduction in rank. The fact he was gone for a long period of time im sure theres mitigating circumstances surrounding his capture and how hes been treated for five years. Its not fair for the other soldiers in the military to know that this guy walked off his base, deserted his post, apparently in the middle of the night and he can come home and receive an Honorable Discharge like every other soldier who served, followed the orders and duties they were required to do. What are the options here . You said a trial would be one. What are the options have the military has to punish him or figure out how he should leave the service. General Court Martial. Can give him any type of punishment including disHonorable Discharge. Then from there bad conduct discharge. Give him other general discharge or check him out of the army for misconduct. Theres some out there saying the president should be impeached for this. We heard from some on capitol hill. Does got it that far . I certainly dont think so. I dont think this is the kind of highest crime and misdemeanor that would amount to grounds for impeachment. This is mostly a political process. This is part of the give and take between congress and the president. And the courts have generally stayed out of these sorts of controversies between courts and congress. Congress can hold hearings. Congress can call witnesses. Congress can pass new laws that are tighter, have greater sanctions, but as far as im concerned the facts are the facts. If this law stays on the books it should be followed. Michael, theres obviously also been a lot of criticism about the exchange, one u. S. Soldier for five gitmo detainees. Do you agree with those criticisms. What do you make of this . I think america has to get its soldiers back and i understand the criticism of exchanging five soldiers or five prisoners for one american soldier but we as the United States need to get our prisoners back whether he abandoned his post, you know, willfully or not its important for us to bring our soldiers home whether its lawful or not or whether its another issue. The idea that he abandoned his post that should not in any way negate the idea of not leaving anybody behind. In my view. Hes still an american. He might have done something wrong and violated the law or orders, general orders to stay in his base but we still should bring him back. Good to have you on michael and jeffrey. Set your dvr so you can watch 360 any time you like.

Theres practical questions about the wisdom of making a deal to get him back and the political dimension. Morn all that from jake tapper. Reporter welcome news for Bowe Bergdahls parents. Their son, americas only known prisoner of war was released by his taliban captors and coming the home idaho. Five years is a seemingly endless long time. But youve made it. Reporter but new details coming to light about how bergdahls freedom was both lost and regained complicate any planned ticker tape parades. These prisoners of five mid to high level taliban prisoners smiling as they are released from Guantanamo Bay to qatar in exchange for bergdahl. Though trading four hostages or prisoners of war is not unprecedented in American History this latest swap has opponents. Youve sent a message over tory Al Qaeda Group in the world that says that there is some value now in that hostage in a way that they didnt have before. Reporter the Obama Administration defends the deal. The United States of america does not leave our men and women in uniform behind, ever. Reporter bergdahl is currently in germany where his physical and Mental Health are the priorities. One of his first tasks is relearning english. I hope your english is coming back and i want you to know im proud of you and so proud of your character. Reporter his parents joy not with standing more than a dozen soldiers who served with bergdahl call him a deserter. They tell cnn he purposely left the observation post. An afghan child said he saw an american soldier walking by himself. On nbcs meet the press sunday chuck hagel deferred questions about how bergdahl came into enemy hands. Im not surprised that there are still questions and until we get the facts exactly what the condition of Sergeant Bergdahl is we cant go much further and speculate. Reporter soldiers on the ground at the time tell cnn insurgents were eight to take advantage of the massive military under taking to rescue bergdahl with ieds placed more effectively. Six soldiers were killed during that week. Clayton bowman, walker, curt curtis, darren andrews, matthew martinic and for their parents this moment will never come. Today families across america share in the joy that i know you feel. Reporter many soldiers are furious. The Facebook Page Bowe Bergdahl is not a hero was started by one of bergdahls former squad leaders. It has nearly 6,000 members. A petition to punish bergdahl forgoing awol was started hours after his release. People who served with bergdahl want answers if not a Court Martial for desertion. Defense officials tell cnn that the sergeant wont face a Court Martial but instead be promoted to Staff Sergeant later this month. At that lot of bitter feelings and great joy especially in haley, idaho. I know its got be incredibly exciting time for your and everybody in haley. Talk to us about the moment you found out your friend was coming home. I know you called and spoke to his mother. Die. About 11 00, 11 30 on saturday the phone started going crazy and i picked it up and my friend said i heard the craziest news on the radio that bowe has been released. Before i got super excited because theres been so many talks and rumor, i called his family to confirm and his mom answered the phone just super over the top excited. She was crying. All she could get out for the first little bit was its true, its true. After that kind of all sank in and my whole house went crazy and then everybody started kind of piling out of their houses and into town so we could all talk and celebrate. I know his parents obviously have been working overtime but behindthescenes trying to push to keep his cause alive. What does that involve . Well, his parents have been a big part of that. They are the ones that have been making trips to washington. Weve been doing every year the community has put together a rally where we have motorcycle groups, p. O. W. m. I. A. Groups come in. Last year we counted 1100 motorcycle groups where we have a big rally. We planted a tree every year to symbolize every year he was in captivity. Nice way for the community to get together, show support and bring aware nose the situation. You know bowe well. I mean you met him. I under when he came into your ballet studio where you worked whats he like . He is a great guy. De. One of my dancers was a family friend of his. He had a sword fighting class right before her class and he just stayed to watch what was going on in ballet class. Next thing i know i had a male dancer which in a small town idaho is a wonderful thing. Got to put on more productions and the girls got more experience partnering with a gentleman. Did you know anything about his disillusionment with the war . Did he ever express that to you . He did not express that to me. We talked about other stuff in the time between everything. We would chat about other things. You know, were best friends so we chat about a lot of the silly things that best friends chat about, relationships and everything. He is very much, you know, he kept to himself a lot in a lot of his thoughts and i grew up in an army base so maybe he thought it wasnt necessarily the place to talk to me about it because i may have come from a different mindset than he was. There obviously has been criticism of him by some, especially end some who served with him in the same unit. How does the Community Deal with that . Is the community kind of dismayed by some of the criticism of him or how does the community feel . You know, everyone in the community, not everyone because obviously i cant speak for everybody, but we knew there were some articles while hes been gone. The whole general feel of the town is that were happy hes back. Were happy that hes out of captivity. Right now we just want to celebrate the fact that hes alive and well or as well as he can be. And show support for the family and let them know were behind them for whatever they need to do to make sure bowe on his uphill battle he has what he needs. The community has bonded together to show support, and, you know, in a unified thing. We can deal with all the other stuff later. Were so happy and thrilled to have him back that thats our focus here. Its great town. Identify been there many times. Hes lucky to have you as neighbors and friends. Thank you for talking with us.

Mrs. Sterling has worked out a deal to let her keep her ties to the los angeles clippers. She will have owner emeritus to allow her to attend games. Donald sterling is banned from the nba for life for making racist remarks. Earlier tonight his attorney said mrs. Sterling didnt disclose why she wanted her husband to see doctors who declared him mentally incapacitated. I think shelly induced him to do these examinations without disclosing to him what she was really doing just on the theory gee why dont we get an examination maybe you can use some medication. Theres also this. Over the weekend mr. Sterling accepted an invitation to a predominantly africanamerican Church Service in South Central los angeles. There were cameras rolling. [ applause ] invitation or not to some it looked like a publicity stunt an attempt by sterling to improve his image. The invitation came from the reverend and he joins me tonight. Pastor, Donald Sterling came to your church. Why did you invite him to come and what was it like . A little while ago some friend of mr. Sterling, i met them, and i was invited to visit him and thats how it all started about, oh, some weeks ago. So you hadnt met Donald Sterling or didnt know him up until about two or so weeks ago, correct . Thats right. And why did you decide to invite him to your church . I pastor a congregation in South Central los angeles, and i was watching Television One day and i noticed this man carrying a load, a burden and my heart just went out the him and i have a desire to meet with him and see if i could encourage him as i would any other soul that i was in contact with. Did you have any concern about the comments that mr. Sterling had made either on that recording, im not sure if you heard the recording or Public Comments he made to me about Magic Johnson. Did you have any concern . Yes. I have great deal of concern about the comments, its not something that i condone but i can understand. When you are burdened or disturbed as a human being, you have a right, i wont say a right but sometimes you say things that you really dont mean. And i think thats what happened in his case. Do you believe his remarks were racist . Do you believe he is racist . No, after talking to him and looking into his background, i dont i really do not believe hes a racist. And i think that like so many of us, we lose our cool, we lose our sense of thinking, and we say things that we regret at times. I firmly believe that. I want to play you something he said to me in an interview, an interview on camera about two weeks or so ago. This is not the recording that started this all that he made with this woman stiviano. This is an interview he made in front of a camera some of what he said to me. Thats one problem i have. Jews, when they get successful, they will help their people. And some of the africanamericans, maybe ill get in trouble again, they dont want to help anybody. Then he went on to talk about Magic Johnson as somebody who in his words has aids as has done nothing for africanamericans. Do you feel those comments were made under duress or stress . Yes, do i feel that way. Each of us will ill use the administrate term, well lose our cool at times and say things well regret. He said himself it might get him in trouble. So i look at the scriptures, the bible and i have a great deal of belief in the word of god. And i just cant picture him as being a person who carries hate continuously in their heart. Just lastly do i have to ask, Donald Sterling told me hes given a lot of money to a number of organizations, a number of africanamerican groups over the years, he donates money to. Has he made any donation of any kind to your church or your expecting him to . No, im not expecting money. I never discussed with him when he entered our worship. He said to me, he said reverend i would like to do something to help the people in this community with you. Thats the only time anything was discussed about financial. He just voluntarily said that. I havent given it any thought. Thank you, pastor. An honor to talk to you. Up next possible future of faith in america.

Were pretty confident you never met a pastor like this. His church which he founded with his wife brims with 20 and 30 somethings. This wait in line to get in. And this happens in new york city. Poppy harlow reports. Reporter the music. The lights. The crowds. It looks like a rock concert. And the lines around the block are enough to make any nightclub envious. But this, this is church. And some new yorkers cant seem get enough of their unlikely pastor carl lenz. I wont say i walk through the valley of the shadow of death take a look at my life i realize. Reporter with his leather jackets and body inch incorporate he looks more like a rock concert than the head of a pentecostal church. But this 35yearold basketball fanatic, a walk on nc state who calls him the unofficial chaplain for the New York Knicks is a pastor. If you ran from church your whole life because you dont like the organization we meet in the club and wont sing the songs you are used to sing. You take issue when people call this religion. Do i. It can be religious about being a car thief. You can be religious, you know, criminal. But we have a relationship with god. I would dwell in the house of the lord forever. Come on, somebody, thats worth a pentecostal shout down. Reporter this is the American Branch of the australian mega churchill song which boasts some 75,000 members in 12 countries. Lenz and his wife started hill song nyc three years ago after meeting at the churchs Bible College in sidney. I got on my knees and said jesus i need to give this a shot with you in charge. We tried create a place thats safe for people, a home to people. Its not for everyone. Thats okay. Thats the great diversity and the beauty of the house of god, the church. Reporter on an average sunday some 6,000 followers pour in over the days five services. You leave filled with the holy spirit. You dont feel judged at all. When i came here i found what i was looking for. I found god. Reporter you found god. His presence here is phenomenal. Reporter the Church Baptisms are carried out here. In a Times Square Hotel swimming pool. I feel amazing. This narrow day to jesus some people are rolling right by it. Reporter watch him preach and youll see veins popout of his neck.

While they are complaining moses is already praising. Reporter Brian Houston founded hill song 30 years ago in australia with his wife. Are you concerned people are coming for them more than the message. No. People lining up in churches in london, cape town, stockholm. His tattoos were a problem. Reporter you dont like the tatoos. They are okay. They are stickers. Thanks for bringing that up. Bucket list. Reporter he seems to revel well in the spotlight but he would prefer you focus on his speech than his wardrobe. Hes been blocked from visiting inmates because prison staff thought he looked more like a criminal than a cleric. Its so funny when people make comments about the way we look, they dont mean to be judgmental but i say what should we look like. Youre implying theres an outfit i could wear that would bring peace to you. The whole point of our faith is to come exactly as you are. Jesus loves you. Reporter you got to admit that the way you dress, the tattoo, the way you look gets people talking and is that a bad thing . Of course not. You wonder why they call it a Hipster Church. Im not a hipster. Hipsters are first of all hipster is one who lives in brooklyn who has a much better beard and lives in brooklyn. Reporter hill song draws crowds and skeptics. Any time a church can get people in the door is a good thing. If were getting them in under the guise of a cool experience or cool club type experience will that sustain them. Reporter brett is the author of hipster christianity. Whenever a pastor or celebrity pastor becomes the draw, its a distraction from jesus and that should be the draw. Do you notice your bible still works midweek. I dont know the big lights, sound and music and style of the church will transform a Young Persons life in the long run. Reporter some might say this is christianity light. Is that fair . I dont know what that means. They say everything from shallow teaching to emotional music. When your bank account says zero we have jesus. Well be all right. No fear. I heard the other critical bent if you have a lot of people coming you must be doing something wrong which is the weirdest concept in history. Wherever jesus went there are throngs of people trying to get in. Our goal is not to turn cultish thinking in new york city come to our church well change you. Thats an arrogant promise. Have people said that to you its cultish. For sure. Can you see where that might be coming from people are uneducated what a cult is. A cult is when i tell you when a to think. If you think differently youre gone. We preach the opposite. You should do home and question what i preach. Look it up in your own bible. Reporter getting American Youth to read a bible is more and more difficult. A 2012 pew study found onethird of American Adults under 30 have no religious affiliation a big jump from past generations. Your church is filled with young people. No its not. We just have some. Are you criticizing the traditional typical what we picture as church. Im not criticizing it. Christianity should be about unbridled contagious joy. But religion has hijacked the fundamental ingredient of our faith. As you saw hes attracting big time crowds and attracted major celebrities.

His services sound like a rock concert at times. Hillsong nyc which he founded in the heart of new york is drawing an unlikely flock, the young and trendy and celebrities as well. The churchs Balance Sheet is exploding. Heres part two of the report. Reporter Hillsong Church has a band with 13 million albums sold. Reporter some newspapers have pegged the churchs worth at 50 million to 100 million. Are those numbers right . It would be in the ballpark. Its tiny compared with the catholic church. Reporter tithing is encouraged. Credit cards accepted. Some people look at it they live in a cool neighborhood, nice place on the river. If you go down that road you cannot be poor enough for some people but we are never going to cater to that mind set of people telling us how to live. Reporter as pastor carl lentzs star rises, celebrities gatherer around him. The goal of the church is from the nameless to the famous. We should have celebrities. We believe. Were trying to reach everybody. Reporter there is justin baby whoever tweeted, i broke down today after one of lentzs services and this baptized kevin durant. We wanted to know where he falls on social issues and politics. Jesus transcends politics. Whether im right wing, left wing, democrat, republican are you going to tell us . No. Reporter some of his positions are clearer than others. Dont get drunk, no sex before marriage. Are gay men and women welcome . Absolutely. We have a lot of gay men and women in our church. Its not our place to tell anyone how they should live. Thats their journey. Reporter every article ive read about you guys says he declines to discuss gay marriage. Its a misquote because i do discuss it just not the way that people want me to. When it comes to homosexuality, i refuse to let a human being or a media moment dictate how we approach it. Jesus was in an era where homosexuality was wildly prevalent. I am waiting to see a quote where jesus addressed it on the record in front of people. He never did. Reporter but people are finding hillsong. 3,000 turned up for one of the churchs first events in los angeles. The funny thing about hillsong whether the music or the churches, we seem to do well where other people struggle. Will we not see you in the bible belt . I dont feel thats where we are called to be. Reporter he does not dream of building a megachurch. Success is not having a big church, a lot of money, nice cars, prosperity for us is knowing jesus and having the right to repent from a sinful life and cling to that cross every day. Thank you guys for waiting. We cant expect to be at capacity. Reporter he is redefining church for some. Whether you like it or not, god is your shepherd and he has never failed anybody and hes not going to start with you. Whether you like it or not, you need to hear it. Its interesting to see. I have heard about him but have not seen him preach. They are focusing on big cities, is that right . Absolutely. They said youre not going to see this in the bible belt. This works in new york city. Im shocked the first time i went there were lines around the block. They couldnt let some people in. People would wait outside for hours to get into the next service. I think they will pop up in big cities across america. They are in 12 major cities around the world. They are working where people have conceptions that big churches dont work. I didnt understand his answer on samesex relationships . Did you think it sounded like a nonanswer. Do we know if he preaches about it . We havent heard him preach about it. We have not heard him preach about it other than saying everyone is welcome here and the discussion of homosexuality and gay marriage is a private one to have. He told me that this is where he and the church stand right now. Theyre young. Hes in his 30s. This is a young church, three years old in new york city. And he said that may change over the years. And as we see the discussion about gay rights progress in this country its going to be important and interesting to watch where their stance becomes if they choose a public stance on that.
