what a ridiculous diet, really. at? balance it out. no one in the mainstream media is going to cover this, too. you lost weight doing that, right here, fox. hello, everyone. i'm andrea tantaros, kimberly guilfoyle, bob beckel, and elena grushina is back outside again. it's 5:00 in new york city, and this is "the five." well, new temperature records are shattered as the bitter cold air that gripped the midwest makes its way to the south and northeast today. it's so cold that in an escaped prisoner in kentucky actually turned himself in to escape the freezing weather. so cold the polar bear at chicago's lincoln park zoo has been moved inside. it's so cold that it's warmer at the south pole and antarctica

that in parts of the country today. here in new york, a 118-year-low record was broken when the mercury dipped to 4 degrees. eric bolling is crazy enough to be outside right now. and his home town chicago bears uniform. i always thought there was a little something off with you. >> you think so. >> i do, and now i know for sure. what's wrong with you? >> colin kaepernick, who? i had to try. anyway, we have everyone represented here. we have the midwest, minnesota, right? >> yep. >> are you cold? >> it's pretty normal for us. >> normal minnesota weather. how about you? you're maryland, right? >> correct. >> how's this for you? >> a little cold for me. >> they're cold. how's this, the west coast represented, los angeles? how about you guys, expecting this cold? >> no, we're dying right now. it's so cold. >> i have never worn this much clothing and still freezing. >> still freezing. he lost a glove, too. what glove? and i also have ireland.

what's going on with ireland, you guys? >> we were expecting colder. >> you were expecting colder than this? >> we only arrived this morning and considering what happened a few days before. >> she has rosy cheeks. >> it's just the wind that's cold. >> windchill, that's what we call windchill. guess what we have here? people who left, get this, 100 degree weather to come here. what were you thinking, australia? >> we love your city, and this is as cold as we have ever been in our lives. >> it wasn't this cold in any of our previous visits. this is the worst. >> you left nice, warm weather. it's summer in australia. >> we didn't think it would be this cold. >> and it is this cold. can you get a shot of the temperature back there? 5:02, check it out, 8 degrees, you guys. i'm going to throw it back to you. do you have questions for the great people braving the cold weather to join us? >> at least they're wearing hats and gloves and scarves and mittens. where is your hat, your scarf,

yours mittens? >> i'm praying my wife and son aren't watching. i know what she's going to say, if you get sick, i'm not going to help you. >> for the irish family there, have they been drinking? >> bob beckel wants to know if you had cocktails to keep you warm? >> not yet. we only arrived this morning, but we'll grab a few. >> wouldn't be a bad idea, maybe. >> it's needed. >> well needed. what's the other question? >> are you going to get stiff out there? are you going to make it into the show? >> i think you should lose the skirt and come out and join me. what do you think about that? >> what a tough guy. i'm not that dumb. >> i'm from chicago. i bared cold weather before. this is of the coldest. >> i bet you have. >> i watch all these reporters with their mittens and gloves and stuff coming off their face. come on, come on, bob. bob, you're wearing a scarf inside. good lord. what's going on? >> 75 degrees in here, so it's perfect. >> what about you? >> i was going to sayering this

proves again how awesome the irish are, how tough they are. we knew it would be cold, no problem. those are my people. >> a lot of fans of the irish people being tough. what about the australians? they're here in the 8 degrees. >> eric, i just got back from l.a. i want to ask the people from l.a., why now come to new york? >> why come to new york when it's 8 degrees? why now? >> i love the cold, but i don't know anymore. >> me, too, girlfriend. >> we weren't expecting 8 degrees. >> what about midwest? seriously, what are you doing here in new york? >> i came from maryland. >> and you came down here? >> pretty cold. >> we go back to the nice, warm studio. i'll be out here for a couple more minutes. >> we'll check back in with you in a minute. >> i want to turn to greg gutfield. the polar vortex. what do you think of all this? i know you don't like to wear so much clothing. >> for one thing, it sounds like a move an ice skater would make,

but the thing that bothers me is the polar bear. if you're a polar bear that has to go inside, you're no longer a polar bear. you're dishonorly discharged from that species. it's like finding out a rat no longer wants to spread disease or a gorilla refuses to eat bananas. you're not a polar bear if you have to go inside. you're a chicago bear. that's what you are. you're a disgrace. >> he was expecting, you know, global warming. >> it is global warming. global warming is the reason for this vortex. >> oh, my gosh. >> he agrees with you, shockingly. >> a member of the mainstream media, charlie rose is wondering, he recently wondered if this polar vortex is the cause, as bob says, of global warming. >> definitely

i don't quer. the media can't get a story unless they push the panic and pushing the panic is not fair to the people at home because it's not true. >> why do you get so upset about it if it's so boring? >> because i have to keep reading this stuff to explain it. >> let me splab it to you.

when the cold air -- when the arctic is as cold as it should be as opposed to warmer, it keeps the cold air up there. >> right. >> when it gets too warm, it opens up a trough and comes right down. >> here's my problem. here's my problem. okay, we watched so many on the left claim to be health care administrators, doctors, engineers, remember, they're going to design a solar panel. now all of a sudden, bob beckel is a scientist, and the reason i get angry about the global warming push is because it's all done so they can control our lives. if they can convince the american public it's happening, then they can control every aspect using our taxpayer dollars. that's my issue. >> you're right, and then more regulations, more imposition on our personal choices and free m freedoms. i would be all for the solar panels if you didn't have to take a cold shower after. >> you know what killed the party? it wasn't transportation. it was taking a short cut when they shouldn't. cold weather is about as new as

larry king's liver. it's been around forever. >> he doesn't drink. >> the media has the long-term memory of a flea. the polar vortex is not a new phenomenon. it's been around. the ice age was not caused by suvs. it wasn't caused by republicans or tea partiers. >> i have been told not to have a memory of a flea today and forget eric bolling. are you still with us? are your fingers and toes, can you feel them? >> i have two questions for you. number one, if a weather person, a meteorologist can't tell us if it's going to rain tomorrow or be, you know, 20 degrees or 50 degrees, how can they tell us when it's going to be 2100 years from now that this whole global warming thing, what we're doing now is going to affect then? and even if it's some of the carbon that we're emitting, the dioxide we're emitting is manmade, how much is it, and is it really the reason why the globe is increasing in temperature?

if it is, ever so slightly. there's so many questions. the hoax is that if a meteorologist were to say or a weather scientist were to say, it's normal, it's weather, it's cold, it's hot, it's norm, they wouldn't get funded. all these big projects wouldn't be funded. >> we're going to get him back on his meds and back to the hospital. it's fine. he's going to be okay. >> i have to say, this whole thing about being cold, it's overrated. you get used to it. >> it's s amazing. your tan looks great, your hair hasn't moved. >> it's glued down. >> it's locked in. >> you went to puerto rico. that's why you got a tan, right? >> that's right, bobby. all good. >> we love you. >> piggy banking on what you said about how the media can't make up its mind, proof of that, 1974, "time" magazine blamed the polar vortex on global cooling. now they're blaming it on global

warming. doesn't it prove that can't make up their mind. >> they believed in 2007 that reduced snowfall was going to be caused by global warming. then every year, the snow increased, so they said, okay, the increase in the amount of snow is the cause or the evidence of global warming. so everything is now caused by global warming. this is not science. it's a scam. and i will say this, this is what bob and i have reached a midpoint, real scientists want to be proven wrong. they don't look for stuff that proves their assumption. that's the scary part about global warming activism. they said the science was settled, and no scientist ever says that. i want to be wrong. i want you to prove me wrong, which forces me to keep reading and listening. >> credible scientists don't say that. >> you have to want to be proven wrong because it makes your position stronger. that's why everybody is so skeptical about global warming activists, because they don't want to be proven wrong. >> i think we can reach an

agreement on that, except the one thing i have to ask you, there are lots and lots of scientists who believe in global warming. >> right. >> real scientists, bona fide scientists. you think they're perpetuating a scam? i mean, what do you think it is? >> i think it became an ideology, and there are legitimate scientists like lun brg, who believes there are slight increases that could be beneficial, maybe harmful in the long term, but there are others who are too invested in it. >> and change position. >> there are a lot of scientists who are skeptical who are left out of the debate. >> they have to be open to new information, new research coming in. science doesn't stand still. when you shut it down and say the science is settled, then you lose credibility. >> i think greg made an enormous amount of sense, which may be the first time in the global warming debate. >> i think you got dressed together this morning. >> i don't have a sweater like that. >> you have to agree, it is at

times when you watch certainly people talk about, like charlie rose and global warming, you say, what makes you a scientist. we just read the data and see there's too much conflicting data. the "new york times" saying the numbers are kind of funny on the stuff. i think the public believes something is happening. when it becomes a crisis, they're going, so now what do we do? spend millions of dollars to assume we can fix it? >> you know what makes charlie rose and all of us scientists? having a cable show. every day, you have to fill up the bucket. you can't say it's cold out there, so you have to say something else. >> i graduated college with a 2.0001 on a football scholarship because i dated the french teacher and she gave me a passing grade. >> eric, get back in the studio. we'll see you for the b-block. >> it's cold. turn the global warming switch on for me, would you? >> i wish they were right, don't you? >> we want to see how you're braving the cold at home.

send us your best polar vortex shots, and when we come back, lbj and the democratic party declared a war on poverty almost 50 years ago, and taxpayers have spend $15 trillion to fight it. we'll examine the results next on "the five." youand you're talking toere rheuyour rheumatologistike me, about trying or adding a biologic. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years.

humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. for many adults, humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problem serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira , your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, have symptoms such as fever fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your doctor if humira can work for you. this is humira at work.

declared his war on poverty in his first state of the union. >> this administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in america. we shall not rest until that war is won. it must be won in the field. in every private home, in every

public office, from the courthouse to the white house. >> half a century later, where do we stand? poverty levels have only dropped slieltly since 1964, but government spending on welfare over the same period has ted by. not much bang for the buck. despite the dismal results, president obama is still pushing for more government spending and more government dependence. today in the form of another extension of long-term unemployment benefits. >> when times get tough, we are not a people who say you're on your own. we're people who believe that we're all in it together. and we know there but the grace of god go i, so that's the values case for this. that's the moral case for this. congress should pass this bipartisan plan right away, and i will sign it right away. and more than one million americans across the country will feel a little hope right away. and hope is contagious. >> president obama, you, sir, have been in charge for five

years, and you're saying that times are still tough, so what is he going to accept some of the responsibility and do something to change the course? >> one of the other lines in the speech, honestly, i couldn't believe he said this, he said, quote, voting for this extension creates jobs. that's not the definition of what he's trying to do there, socialism, where you take an earn eed dollar from a maker an take it to a taker, you d discourage the good behavior of work and capitalism, and encourage the bad behavior of let's not rush to get a job. as charles kroauthammer puts ou, when you subsidize apples, you get more apples. when you subsidize unemployment, you get more unemployment. >> you always talk about jobs fleeing the country. what sif they can't get work? do they starve? >> in two and a half years, they can't get work? >> i guess not.

not all of these people are scam artists. >> look, the whole idea of welfare is to help people get through, to get the job. when it's two and a half years, or two and a quarter years, at some point, you have to say enough is enough. here's the other thing, if president obama on one side of his mouth says things are getting so much better under obamacare, why are we spending trillions and trillions. >> right, the math doesn't make sense. >> let's talk about lyndon johnson. i would like to have a discussion about that. go ahead. >> look at detroit. >> thank you, bob. >> who needs a real war when you have the war on poverty. and an invading army with the best weapons in the world couldn't achieve what the war on poverty has done to detroit, baltimore, newark. the war on poverty is the war on america. no one has to invade us. we're doing a great job on our own. it was of the best intention. however, a war on anything that isn't a real war, fails. whether it's a war on drugs, which is a bust, the war on

positivator, which is a bust, the war on christmas, which is a sham. and now if you look at unemployment benefits, we're putting politics over people. the republicans cannot say no to this because they appear to be the grinch. you'll be painted at the grinch. even though studies show it will lead to longer unemployment, but if you say that, you're mean, so extend the benefits three months. if you say no, you're painted as a monster. >> it happens every single year around this time. it's strategically planned, usually right before christmas so politically, people don't want to say they're against it. because it's not a good argument. okay, poverty is a very serious issue. it's not a joking matter, but this is not a country -- we don't live in a country giving up on poverty. we have medicaid, wic, we take care of the poor. if you believe the liberals, we are where lbj said we were. he thinks we're in the same

exact place, and you steam to agree. but, if i could finish, unemployment insurance was not meant to be a pension. it's a band-aid. if you put able-bodied people on the dole, they'll stay there. if you require people are going to go on unemployment insurance, after 99 weeks, they would have to do community service, they would have to volunteer, be teacher's aids, help build houses for returning vets, what would you say to that? >> that's a pretty good idea. >> it's not mine. it's fdr's idea. >> all the war on poverty was not successful, and all of it -- some of it was quite successful. it includes medicare and medica medicaid. it includes head start, which most people will agree is a good program. the fact of the matter is right now, we're spending less as a percentage since the welfare reform act of the '90s, but here's the thing that's the real problem. those of us who supported this, housing and other things, we did

it with the best intentions and we made some mistakes, and we did breed some dependency that we have to take responsibility for. the last thing i and say is we can't take responsibility for families breaking down. children in poverty in the country, 44% of them are from single-mother households. 11% are in married households. >> can you explain, what have we done right with the war on poverty? because the poverty level hasn't gone down in 50 years. >> yeah, but it was going up every year before we got there. >> still almost 16%. >> unchanged. >> there's going to be a percentage of people who will always be in poverty. >> when you win a war, you defeat the enemy, the enemy being poverty. we haven't budged. >> right. >> we can't take responsibility for families breaking apart in the inner cities. >> why can't you? that's not fair. i think this administration in particular has pushed the notion hood of single motherhood, which you and i agree is the fastest pathway to poverty, even though it's the hardest job in the

world, but they have furthered it with wanting women to be dependent on the government and kids dependent on the government, and they have kind of let amaamerican men out to b onesy wearing doofuses. >> the notion they want women to be in poverty is ridiculous. >> they want them to be dependent. >> let's talk about something here, get your take on it, because this is getting a lot of buzz. this is brit hume and saying if the administration is asking for this extension of these benefits is basically saying they failed. an admission. >> the administration's appeal for a further extension of unemployment benefits may succeed in putting congressional republicans in a tight spot if they resist. in that sense, it may be a shrewd political move. yet embedded in it is an extraordinary acknowledge of failure by the president and his party. upon taking office, the president and his party set two big goals. one was to revive the economy. the other to reform health care. the obamacare mess tells us where we are on one.

the call for further unemployment benefits tells us where we are on the other. >> president obama says you can have both, an improving economy while keeping this safety net in place. however, what is missing is what i said before, the fear of debate. you should want to have the discussion based on research, the research saying that if benefits are extended, so goes unemployment. you have to have that discussion or it's never going to change. >> they don't want to. if you ask to have the discussion, you're pegged as mean-spirited and uncaring, unfeeling party. >> which i am, by the way. >> okay, bollig. >> and the thing is, they like to peg this as a class war fair thing going on, but the vast majority of the money being redistributed is coming from the middle class. it's on the backs of the middle class. ask a guy making $30,000 or $35,000 a year paying 35% tax, if he feels good about handing over more money for someone who has been frankly on welfare for 99 weeks.

>> you don't mind me pointing out, this comes from workers compensation funds. when you're employed, you pay into workings compensation funds. so they're taking money they themselves put into the fund. you keep saying these dislocated jobs, that's true. some people aren't going to be able to get jobs. what do you do? i ask the question, unless you retrain them -- >> i think there's a lot of political votes in keeping people down. they want the democraciy culture. and i'm going to go back to this. republicans, you missed another opportunity by approving this. next time, they have to require they get a tradeoff from democrats. community service, build homes for veterans, teachers' aides, fdr's idea, brill yntd, use it next year, republicans. >> coming up, jumace winston led florida to victory, but how did he handle his victory lap after the game? we'll show you what he said. >> later, more gibberish from dennis rodman on north korea. we'll play the tape to see if

the fastest six or seven minutes in cable news. three spectacular store as, seven speedy minutes, and one psyched host. first up, ncaa football national champions. in a drive by jameis winston with 13 seconds left, down by four, florida state tapped an incredible come from behind drive on the back of their young quarterback, by the way, on his 20th boilth. >> when they took the lead, we took the initiative to show that we deserve to be in this predicament that we were in. we wanted to win.

and we had to. and my team got on my back and we just went the whole way, man. >> so some were saying maybe a little cocky, but you know what? he earned it. >> a little bit cocky, but you know what, if they would have lost, everybody would have blamed winston for the loss. he's taking a little bit of credit. he did do a gutsy move. i was amazed at the turnaround. at halftime, i switched over to the batcher, and i came back, and it was amazing. >> your thoughts? >> i expect eed him to take mor credit. i wouldn't call him the bill o'reilly of college football -- >> are you saying -- >> i'm more perturbed by the fact he's a red-shirt freshman. kind of racist. i thought we had moved beyond that. >> oh, brother. >> disgusting. >> 20-year-old. are you watching? >> yeah, i pulled an andrea. i did the same thing. we were like twinned because i was watching "the bachelor" with

juan pablo, and the game -- >> oh, brother. >> equally thrilling. >> quick thought, and then we have to move on. you picked florida state, but did you pick them with or without the points? >> without the points. >> i picked auburn and lost. >> he didn't play well in the first half. >> he did not. >> but they did. auburn covered with points. let's be clear. moving on, from a guy who had a lot to say to a guy who can't buy a vowel. director michael bay was the man behind the camera for films like pearl harbor, armageddon. he met his match on a stage in vegas. >> what i try do as the director, i try to -- ah. the type is all off. sorry. i'll wing this. >> tell us what you think? >> we'll wing it right now. i try to take people on an emotional ride.

and -- um -- >> the curve, how do you think it's going to impact how viewers experience your movies? >> excuse me, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. >> okay. >> ladies and gentlemen, let's thank michael bay for joining us. >> i can't -- you have no idea how cringe worthy that is, greg. you sent that around last night. >> yeah, i mean, it's hard. to speak in public. i think -- >> like now. >> forget it. >> lock the door. lock the door. >> please. >> stage fright, but man, that's the worst. >> i think he was prepared to read exactly what they said, talking points, and then he lost it. he should just talk about what an awesome director he is, and any medium is going to make the film even more entertaining. something, and they tried to help him. >> i felt bad for him. >> do you ever have stage fright? >> never. >> shocker. >> but my brother was in pearl harbor as an actor. he said this guy was a very nice

guy, good director, but he was very in control of everything, which is the case. when you don't have a promper, you're in trouble. we learned about that on new year's eve, didn't we? >> he's so creepy. he's right there. what a weirdo. hi. >> okay. >> you know what i think happened? he's trying to one up you and show you he's a man, too. look, oh, my gosh. >> can we have security for greg? >> you know what i think happened to him? he knows what he's talking about. the problem is he was there to indorse a product, and he didn't prepare. you know what that's like. if you don't read your one more thing and you're asked to talk about it, he didn't prepare. >> you mean bob every day? >> president obama's tell promper goes off, he goes off promper, and you know what that tends to do. be prepared to be creeped out. this ad shows men singing about losing their teenage sons to

women. ♪ and misbehave ♪ old spice ♪ now he's kissing all the women ♪ ♪ now he's touching kissing feeling all the women ♪ ♪ old spice ♪ now he smells like a man ♪ and they treat him like one >> well, let's go to our mom. >> i don't like that really fre. i find it frightening. >> it's creepy, right? >> yeah, children of any age, or even over 18, don't watch it, right? it reminds me of the devil or something. >> i happened to be watching that without the sound up, but if you watch it without the sound up, you have -- it looked like an ad for walking dead. >> i don't like it. >> you were right. >> i would -- remember the old spice commercial commercials? the guy would come out wearing a fisherman's shirt, saying i'm going to go to the bar and pick

up a chick? this is the kid from the obama ad, for the kid who won't leave home. this is the kid who can't find a job, whose mother -- he's stuck in the basement with his adderall and his xbox. >> i hope this doesn't happen to me. i think the mother-son thing was a little creepy. old spice is marketed to that gruff man like a bob beckel type of guy, not a little boy. that was weird. >> the old spice commercials, i think of bob beckel in his day was the old spice guy. >> well, whoever dressed that thing was the guy who did the night of the living dead, number one, and it looks like the exorcist, the head turned around. two different people. >> so weird. >> i think it's a lousy ad. frankly, i don't like old spice that much. >> when greg was outside, security was like, don't do that. he's like, i'm on "the five," i'm on the show. >> they're wrapping us. that's the fastest seven. >> kim jong-un's bff went wild

adolescent relativism said on sunday tv said that we have death camps, too. >> a great guy puts 200,000 people in death camps. >> guess what? we do the same thing here. >> what do you expect from a guy who once dated madonna? rodman will never see the real north korea, the dead, the starving, the suffering. worse, he won't even ask to see it because he's a wimp. after all, he's going there to celebrate his bud's birthday. yeah, rodman is the marilyn monroe to kim jong's jfk. it makes him more than a patsy. to borrow from his own vocabulary. he's lil' kim's lil bitc however. what is he going to do? he kaeblt find me. >> they'll find you. >> what did you make of his performance? wh was he on drugs? >> i don't even know what he said. he had 25 u.n. interpreters. i was trying to listen. i was hoping we were going to

close caption it. he sounded upset. he's actually, i think, making a fool of himself. this is worse than the last one. >> bob, do you think he really believes he's helping? >> i don't think so, and i don't know how he convinced the other guys to go with him. listening to him reminds me of what i sounded like when i was drinking and using xanax to get through airplane rides. he was extremely loaded. >> he sounded that way. eric, jesse jackson praised him. >> there you go. >> the years of the drugs and the abuse. quick story, i was at a function one time, and he was there. my wife was there, and she wanted to take a picture with him. i'm taking the picture. as i'm taking the picture of the two of them, he leans over, that picture, he leans over and says, let's get out of here and go party. i'm taking the picture. he's nuts. crazy. >> did she do it? >> no, bob.

>> she disappeared for an hour. >> that would be awesome if she did. >> andrea, isn't there a way we could revoke his passport so he couldn't come home? >> yeah, i want him to stay there, but this is just an animated show, right? north korea becoming nuclear. we're sitting here laughing. this is all going to be very funny until kim jong-un sees dennis rodman to 30 dogs like he did his uncle, then i ask you, greg, are we going to have to cover that story? no, it's going to be too sad. right? >> i'm serious. >> his uncle, the supporters. don't get on his bad side. >> all right, still ahead, are some races and religions superior to others? that's what the tiger mom says, and the critics are pouncing again. is she right or is she racist? next.

so called tiger mom, amy chua has a new book coming out with new controversial claims.

she wrote about the superiority of chinese moms, now writes about eight superior parents. the first comment, in niyear jeer yeah, the greatest scam artists in the world. they're very good at pick pocketing, and iranians, of course the kid is going to pay attention. if they don't, they're doing to take them to the backyard and feed them to the dogs. >> really? >> yeah, they scare them. they really scare them. they're tortures. no wonder the kid is paying attention. >> you say they torture their children. >> yes, not all of them, maybe some of them. >> not all iranians. >> no. >> what is this segment? >> all these people on the list, do you have any thoughts. >> bob just outdid rodman, just so you know. >> bob pulled a rodman. >> he pulled a rodman. >> listen, most scams on the internet come from nigerians. and iranians kill people. >> oh, my god, i can't take it.

bolling? >> i'll pass. >> andrea? >> well, since i pitched the topic, i suppose i have to talk about it. so this woman, the tiger mom, she garnered a lot of news, earnearn ed media off her book saying chinese mothers were superior. now she's saying these certain ethnic groups are superior. everyone is trying to say she's racist, and this is a dangerous topic, however -- >> so they gave it to me. that was smart. >> yeah, they gave it to you. however, you cannot argue with the fact that the jewish community in the united states is incredibly successful. >> yes. >> the asian students, they far outpace other students. they have a 99% rate of having a father in their family. i mean, they know what it's like to keep their families together. and lots of these kids are first-generation americans. so they do know what it's like because their parents say work hard or you have to work back. >> how do they know the difference between apaches and

souxs? >> are we getting that granular. >> there was an interesting thing that came out of this. it's hard to talk about a book that you haven't read, but that doesn't stop us at sf "the five" >> do you understand what bob said, india, not american indians. >> one thing, the foundation of insecurity that drives people to do better. she was saying that there's something that unites a lot of these religious groups like mormons. she wasn't talking about race specifically, is that they're not interested in self-esteem and perhaps improving self-esteem leads to less achievement than if you didn't. if you infuse groups with a false sense of achievement, that leads to failure. if you tell somebody you're great because of who you are as opposed to what you do, that's wrong. i think that's the point she was trying to make, but i don't know because i didn't read the book. >> they have self-control.

of tweets last night. apparently, jon stewart after a long three-week vacation, hiatus, took back to the airwaves last night. first show, first a-block, got his team of writers to twist my words again. going to be a long 2414, jon, you and i dance all year long. >> sleeveless. greg? >> real quick, this came out today. go to amazon, pick it up. that's ait, all i'm going to sa. i'm not going to talk about it. >> where can we get it? >> amazon, anywhere, a book store, even. >> bob? >> let my clarify something before i get in any trouble. i'm not apologizing, just clarifying. i thought we were talking about the nigerians overseas. not here in the united states. i know a lot of good iranians here in the united states. it's overseas. >> this is the worst clarification i have ever heard. >> no, i didn't realize -- the indians, i thought we were talking about american-indians in reservations. >> bob, what --
