2:00 pm
right jim. i hope you're right because there were a lot of cancellations. but it could be to your point just a small family an intimate family, and they're depressed. >> let's see what happens now. let's see what happens tomorrow and the next day. >> got you. we'll have a lot more tonight at 8:00 p.m. see you then. hello, everyone. this is a fox news alert. the administration traded him last year for five very dangerous taliban leaders wedlocked up at gitmo. today beau bergdahl has been charged by the army with desertion and more. >> the u.s. army forces command has thoroughly reviewed the army's investigation surrounding sergeant beau bergdahl's disappearance in 2009 in afghanistan and formally charged sergeant bergdahl under the armed forces uniform code of military justice on march 25th, 2015. with desertion, with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty, and misbehavior before the
2:01 pm
enemy by endangering the safety of a command unit or place and has referred the case to an article 32 preliminary hearing. >> bergdahl faces potential life in prison on the charge of misbehavior before the enemy five years on the desertion charge. he also faces dishonorable discharge reduction in rank and forfeiture of all of his pay. he may face court-martial if the charges aren't dropped preliminary hearing. k.g., let's talk to you for a second. they avoided the death penalty. why do you think they did that? >> yeah, i mean, i don't think it's going to be necessary in this particular case. i don't think it has good optics for anybody involved. the whole point was we bring our own home. we have done that at great expense. at great expense to those that looked for him, searched for him, tried to rescue him and lost their lives to the families who are waiting for their loved ones to come home, and that day will never happen. then, of course, even worse is now the fact that the five
2:02 pm
taliban commanders were emancipated courtesy of united states of america. and susan rice says that this man, we're joyful for his family and that this is a guy who served with honor and distinction. it is opposite day? >> nice callback. charged with misbehavior before the enemy. it sounds like a panty raid at the barracks, misbehavior. but he was charged with running away, surrendering, endangering safety cowardly conduct or in the eyes of the left, heroism. as you said, susan rice said he served with distinction, but that's the point. you know in these evil bush wars, desertion is distinction. he did the right thing by leaving his men. can we finally admit for once that susan rice may be the least competent civil servant in history? she's so divorced from reality that reality should pay her ail alimony alimony. >> save some of that because we're going to do a susan rice in a couple of minutes. >> i will repeat the joke.
2:03 pm
>> you could. it was that good. we were watching this press conference a little earlier. no questions. you and i both kind of scratched our heads a little bit. >> i thought that that was the right thing to do. i was surprised that apparently -- and i don't have this squared away yet -- but apparently the military in ft. bragg, the army today did not give a heads up to the pentagon that this was coming today. so there was a little bit of a scramble and there was a surprise. there had been an abizationccusation for several months or a question because the report was taking so long that there was a spot that maybe it was going to be whitewashed, okay, that they were trying to look for a way to get bergdahl out of any trouble that he might have been in. that is not what they announced today. and in particular i thought the thing that was most interesting was the possible charge about endangering safety. so in the investigation, they must have found something that convinced them that not only did he walk away, but that he then did something additional with possibly knowing that he was
2:04 pm
doing the wrong thing to put our troops in harm's way, and that, i think, is where this case will definitely move forward more swiftly, and that it's very important not just for justice for the family but also for troop morale because they need to know that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. >> and we know what he did, endangered safety. we do have evidence that there were men who died because they were looking for them. there were reconnaissance missions to look for them and they died. and not enough was said about those men. i don't have time to read all their names today. >> i do. staff sergeant boynton, private first class morris walker staff sergeant curtis curtis literally 2nd lieutenant darren andrews and staff sergeant michael murphy. >> yeah and thank you for reading that because i think not enough is said about the men that he did endanger who ultimately paid the price for his behavior. and look what happened to him is clearly not what he anticipated happening to him when he walked away, but
2:05 pm
nevertheless there's probably not enough punishment. >> let's move on from some of the politics surrounding this. remember when president obama staged a photo op alongside his parents. >> in the simple moments with family and friends which all of us take for granted, but while bowe was gone, he was never forgotten. >> remember when susan rice hailed him as a hero? >> certainly anybody who's been held in those conditions in captivity for five years has paid an extraordinary price, but that is really not the point. the point is that he's back. he's going to be safely reunited with his family. he served the united states with honor and distinction. >> and remember bergdahl's former platoon mates who knew all along that was certainly not the case. >> raise your hand if you think he deserted. ah. raise your hand if you have some question about whether he deserted. wow. >> this is not about politics. this is about the fact that
2:06 pm
bergdahl walked away from us, went to try to find the taliban, and we know that for a fact. and we were all there. and there's not one person you could find that would say they don't believe that. at least who was there. he's not a hero. he did not serve with distinction. that's a spis in the face to everyone who joined the army and anyone who died looking for him. >> there's a huge basket here. reach in. >> they should say why he deserted, it was about a video. he was so upset about that anti-islam video that he had to leave. this is a real big fat stain on obama's mona lisa. that picture-perfect rose garden ceremony that was basically his triumphant moment of self-congratulation. look what i've done. in a way that was the movie version of the rescue. and right now we're experiencing the reality of that rescue, that there's an ugly ugly underside to that rock and it doesn't look pretty. if you think about all the major foreign policy mistakes, whether it's yemen, benghazi, isis, the return of al qaeda, bowe
2:07 pm
bergdahl, this administration is dumber than a box of burqas. they're getting nothing right. >> victory lap. bad idea? >> bad idea by susan rice. >> how about obama? >> obama, listen. we had to get him back. we don't leave our men behind. we don't leave americans behind. and so i think the press conference i'm hopeful, that the press conference was about that. look, he's going to pay a penalty. i hope it's a steep one. i think he's already paid a steep penalty, being held hostage for five years. i hope the penalty's even steeper at the behest of the united states government, but we had to get him back. >> k.g. -- >> we didn't have to get him back at the expense of the safety of our troops who died and with the taliban commanders. why -- we're not supposed to negotiate with the enemy and give up five serious individuals committed to jihad against the united states of america and resupply their -- let's replenish. we're just a factory resupplying taliban commanders. i mean, that is so wrong that they did it. and they clearly had no understanding of the situation that they would parade this fool
2:08 pm
around in front of the whole world, calling him somebody who's a hero who served with honor and distinction. what is wrong with that? this is the private sector, they'd all be out of a job. >> you're conflating that too. get him back but as kimberly points out, we're learning there were options. can i bring this to dana? was training five gitmo detainees all about liquidating gitmo? >> yes, i think so. i think that the white house got intoxicated with the idea that this could be the beginning of president obama showing that he could get the numbers down at gitmo enough that he could then fulfill a campaign promise that he has been unable to fulfill. i don't understand the zeal with which they tried to fulfill that campaign promise. when aside from a very small strain of people on the left, and maybe that includes president obama. maybe that's why. there's not a clamor for closing gitmo. in fact, there's a question of why don't we build it up with people that we're capturing that
2:09 pm
can find out if there's going to be additional attacks like in paris or in pakistan when the children were killed when 140 children were killed. i do think they got stars in their eyes thinking this would be the beginning of the end. and i find it really hard to believe, but i can imagine how it can happen, that this whole process is going through the white house, a lot of different offices at the white house would have to have some sort of input into this rollout at the rose garden. and it doesn't appear that anybody raised their hand and said do you think we should maybe wait on this? or maybe we could get the president some credit by just having a photo released of him on the phone calling the parents rather than inviting them to the rose garden. there doesn't seem to be any ability for them to just slow down on the politics. they govern in the way that they plan to campaign. and i think that they wanted to do that for 2014. >> so julie, part of this deal, a deal to get bowe bergdahl back is we gave up five taliban
2:10 pm
commanders. in one year from date, and that was may. so we're coming up on that one-year anniversary. they were free what they want to do. catherine herron points out, three of the five have rejoined the taliban. >> this was this was a terrible deal. he possibly would have died, okay. but they also possibly could have died. and so i think the calculus probably was of all the bad options, the least bad option is the option that they took. i'm not suggesting it is or it isn't. i don't know what the intelligence was on this. >> maybe that's true, but now -- that could be true. but then why within the next 24 hours, do they not have the presence of mind to dial it back? every time susan rice has gone on the sunday shows she's actually known beforehand that what she's about to say is not true, like the video. i find that very bizarre. >> yeah. but it goes back to this interesting element gitmo, what does gitmo symbolize?
2:11 pm
it symbolizes everything that a progressive hates about america. it's the thing that drives everything. >> americanaphobia. >> americanaphobia. so they have gitmo on the brain. and that causes them to make really, really stupid decisions. so they knew. they knew that this guy was a problem, but they wouldn't let that stop them because their ideology had snowed their intelligence. they had no way to operate intellectually. >> i just don't get it. first of all, they shouldn't have traded even one okay? but oh, no, why stop at one when you can do two three. >> that's true. there was an argument. there had to be an argument over that. well, they want seven. well, we'll give them five. >> they wanted three. >> but they didn't want just any five. the taliban said we specifically want these five. >> but guys, israelis do this all the time. remember gilad shalid? i'm actually commending the israelis for not leaving their men. oh my gosh. stop it, i love the israelis. i'm saying the israelis have
2:12 pm
done the right thing this many times. most recently shalead who was captured and spent many years there because -- >> but at least the israelis know how to track them. >> they don't blow them up and murder them later. >> maybe we'll blow these guys up. we're good at droning people. >> tell us a little bit about this trial. the first initial trial in front of one judge. he's going to testify. there's going to be witnesses on both sides. we're going to hear about this. >> we are going to hear about it. and finally we're going to get the transparency that we've all been promised. i mean, this is no winning cause for anybody at this point. at least, like you said, for the troop morale will matter, to hear the truth because they've been vindicated when they were coming out in front, being courageous when people were, like, oh, really? maybe you're just mad. maybe they didn't like it. >> maybe they want money. >> maybe they want cash write a book, and everyone was questioning the motives and intentions of those that had served with him that didn't abandon or desert their posts. okay? that served honorably and faithfully and put it on the
2:13 pm
line for him. this is an important lesson, i think, in american history. >> what do you think his lawyer will say at the hearing? >> they're going to try to say it's some misunderstanding. listen, that was not my intention. it will come down to what was his specific intent. did he intend at the time to desert or was he suffering from some kind of mental disease or defect or something that impaired his judgment? did he have some kind of posttraumatic stress, anything they can do to try to mitigate. right. it doesn't matter, but defense attorneys will come up with anything -- hello i've seen them put a twin on the stand to say the twin did it, not my guy. >> is ptsd a possible defense? >> they can raise anything to see what they can do, but i think it's going to be very difficult for them to do so. we already know just by the nature of the charges that they brought and the long process by which they brought these forward, i think the government has a very serious case against him. >> and you can count on this that there will be supporters
2:14 pm
for him especially in the media, again, looking back at the bush -- >> "rolling stone" cover? >> he will be on the cover of "rolling stone." it will be a wonderful picture and it will talk about how he's the victim. he's the victim. you know, he went to fight to help people to actually help people and he didn't like what he saw. and he was the brave one who walked off. that's how it's going to be portrayed by "slate" and "salon." >> he'd lose his pay right? >> right. >> but if they tie these five deaths, maybe a sixth, they're not even sure, to the fact that they were looking for him -- >> yeah. >> -- doesn't that put it higher? >> absolutely. i mean look, he deserves life without possibility of any kind of parole of getting out. that's what he deserves for it. i mean, he's lucky that he's able to serve and be here on u.s. soil. >> and in no other country -- well, maybe no other country, but we are one of the only countries in the world that would allow him to continue to live, even if it is behind bars. most other countries would not tolerate this for one second. and there wouldn't be five
2:15 pm
hearings to make the decision. >> my final thought, and i commend you for reading the names, we do have, because let's be mindful of the fact that there were many, many people whose lives have been affected by his behavior and it's devastating and these men who died are exhibit a who got penalized for this. >> private first class morris walker. >> for the families justice delayed is not justice denied. much more coming up. jon stewart and the difference between christianity and islam. stay tuned for that next.

heck. maybe even 9. make no mistake about it. they're out there. i guarantee it. welcome to the nascar xfinity series. ♪ she's one of the most outspoken critics of islam and not just those who terrorize in the name of it. she believes islam itself needs a reformation now. it's part of the title of her new book "heretics" that hit bookstores yesterday. >> why does islam need a reformation now? >> because unfortunately too many people are dying in the name of islam. too many women live under oppression. too many jews are being demonized for it, too many gays
2:20 pm
are being killed too many christians are being killed. >> if christianity went through almost the exact same process, people who thought they knew better and were pure and that created violence and so why is -- i get the sense that you think islam is different than other religions. >> well i'm saying that christianity went through that process of reformation and analyzement and came to a place where the mass of christians, at least in the western world have accepted tolerance in the secular states. and morality of the 7th century doesn't apply in the 21st century. >> ali is confident islam can be transformed. >> i am an american and an optimist. 1989 happened. we defeated national socialism. we defeated communism. protestants and kalt lickcatholics are at peace with one another. if you believe in that, you will believe in islamic reformation. and as americans, i think we need to believe that.
2:21 pm
>> kimberly, you met with her this morning. in person, she is extremely impressive. and i spent the afternoon reading the back half of the book. she does say that she's optimistic. for as much as she's gone through and she's seen and for as much threat as she remains under, she thinks that there's a chance that we possibly are in a reformation now or that it could be accelerated. >> she thinks it can be accelerated and she's very clear that she believes the united states should continue to lead the way that we're in a power of great opportunity and position of strength to have influence to do good in the world. that we should not be a country that is retreating or adopting isolationist policies. she also feels there are specific forward movements that have been happening now that she thinks are very encouraging. she cited one example of a woman who was lynched. and the other woman rose up to carry her coffin which is also forbidden in the muslim religion, and to show respect and honor for her and defy all
2:22 pm
odds. she said it's moments like that that she feels that we are heading towards that important reformation of islam. stloo she also says, greg, on page 217 she says that repeatedly you have to continue to say that the connection between violence and islam is too clear to be ignored. she's politely suggesting that the united states government the obama administration, should be willing to say the same thing because that would help with the reformation. >> well, again, it points to the fact that islamophobia is real, but it's being used wrongly. president obama -- to some extent jon stewart has a fear of islam that causes them to equate all religions as equal and inflicting harm. the point is nnot a new one. what jon stewart was saying, religions are like a little bell curve. here's where christians are and here's where islam is. but the problem is a lot of people here want us to go all the way back. that's not right. it's like you're heading towards the finish line. you should be going in that direction. and that's the problem. here in america there's a stark

contrast, we have a lot of feminists who are spending all their time fretting about pro pronouns, gender-neutral bathrooms, trigger warnings, perceived cat calls. ali has slightly more serious problems. it's caused her impending death. she could be killed for what she believes in. and i often wonder if feminists in america would act the way she would act under this kind of threat, would they have the -- >> courage. >> the fortitude and courage? i doubt it. >> she says something similar. in fact, she says she doesn't think it can just come from government. she thinks that -- she talks about the men who built silicon valley social networks that they need to be involved. she talks about the entertainment capital of hollywood where at least the old hands still remember the era of blacklists. human rights activists, feminists, and she includes also the aclu. she's saying where are they? they are the ones that could actually help protect all of these people they say they support. >> i find her amazingly honest.
2:24 pm
for what -- here's the life she has to live. i told you i bumped into her yesterday over there. she has security that has to check the restaurant before she goes there. she has people following her around making sure that everything's okay because of the pieces she wrote, yes, her book, but also the piece in "the wall street journal" on saturday. i'll say again read that piece. >> and the documentary and film where her dear friend was murdered. >> we outline things she's said and it's coming from her. 70% of all deaths that are conflict related are somehow tied to islam over the last five or so years. 70%. if we said that they call it islamophobia islamphobic. can i use your chart? >> yes absolutely. >> thanks to our graphics department. >> and you're 100% right. but here's the issue. so if this is all time, all right, this is all time, christianity has about 400 years on islam. so it's not exactly like christianity's been around a really lot -- much longer time than islam. yet you see how christianity came out of it, and you see how
2:25 pm
islam -- >> about 400 years ago, actually, came out of it. but look, i have a very hard time with you, you, you, me, you, any of us talking about what's best for islam. you're right, she's right. somebody does need to -- it does need a reformation. i've been also believing that for a very long time. it needs to come from within. there are plenty of muslims out there who would lead that reformation. i have a very hard time believing that barack obama who is not a muslim don't tweet me that he is because he's not. no, i understand he's not a muslim. despite the many tweets i'm going to get right now. but barack obama any of us, none of us has the right to tell them how to reform their religion. >> we're not saying that. but no one is suggesting guidelines and follow these six points on your post-it and you can reform it. we have to be participatory in the process of understanding not just militarily, by creating a social dialogue and understanding, trying to bridge the gap. that's what she's talking about. just like we've seen in the past with catholics, with protestants and christianity to do that, to
2:26 pm
have this opportunity for growth and to seize it not turn a blind eye. >> she lists several people here who are courageous moderate muslims that she is saying that we should be supporting them in some way. and i know she's not saying that eric schmidt of google should lead the charge for a reformation, but that he does have the ability to support efforts like with the internet to try to allow people to have access to the free and open internet. >> it's also refreshing to hear so many people talk positively about an atheist. >> yes. she is. >> yes. >> yes, she is. she grew up in africa and saudi arabia. she sought asylum in 1992 in the netherlands. she went from cleaning factories to winning a seat in the dutch parliament. i think she's a wonderful speaker and an author of several best-selling books and this one is called "heretics." ahead, do college campuses also need a reformation? many students are being shielded from ideas that could make them uncomfortable. and this makes greg uncomfortable. >> yes. >> he explains why next. >> it does!

♪ last week "the new york times" examined safe spaces at colleges, which are secluded spots made for students to keep their feelings from being hurt by different viewpoints. in these comfort bubbles people refrain from making jokes for fear of bruising one's delicate sensibilities. this is not shocking. as the modern era shows, if a fact hurts your feelings, the feelings win. in fact, safe spaces are designed to turn emotions into medical conditions. if you can claim that an idea scars your well-being, fearful administrators will suppress the point of view. ultimately, that leads to speakers being disinvited and apologies made about everything. it's crazy this is happening on campus where the free flow of ideas is the whole idea.
2:32 pm
but that's changed as the lunatics run the asylum, all the walls must now be padded. free speech be gone, words are weapons that hurt like hurled rocks. it's the new strategy to suppress competing ideas. and it's working. but as we criticize, we police police this stuff among ourselves. a demand for lockstep exists in all places where discomfort from dissent is recast as offense. after all, the only way to strengthen an argument is to make it vulnerable to criticism. it's called learning. demanding consensus is coward's work. and if you can't take the heat or a joke, get out of the kitchen and go back to college. all right. dana originally these safe spaces started out with i would think a positive goal, gathering of like-minded people who didn't want to be hassled. they didn't want to be hassled, but now any kind of ticklish -- they call them ticklish conversations, anything that might make you upset. >> conceivably, like-minded
2:33 pm
individuals and you can go hang out. i'm going to blame the parents. here's why. i don't know if it's allowed to reveal a conversation you overheard from strangers but i'm going to do it. so this weekend when i was traveling, i heard this woman talking to her friend about her daughter in a sorority. and the sorority had made the daughter upset for some reason. and so the mother said to her friend, i'm going to call the sorority tomorrow to complain. i would have been mortified if my mom did that to me. like if i had a hurt feeling i had to deal with it myself. >> exactly. >> i'm pablaming the parents. >> the author, judith, she also said that it's probably the parents. eric, she said that designating a space as safe implies that all others aren't, which then creates a need to start fixing every space. >> can i also add the fraternity system is a safe space in some schools? >> yes. >> so you have safe spaces, trigger warnings where they literally put warnings on the
2:34 pm
top of essays and reading material that some of this material you're about to read may offend you. i mean so there was baby boomers, then there was generation x, there's generation y. this is literally generation w, generation wussy. our kids you can't do anything. you can't talk, you can't read, you can't see it on tv. it's sad. we're going to get smoked by the chinese. and others. >> not literally though. not literally. they will not smoke us. there seems to be -- there seems to be something earnest and correct about this maybe 20 30 years ago, right? it was like people who had gone through some kind of trauma you understood that they should maybe be in a safe spot. but now everybody has trauma, correct? >> this drives me up the wall. and dana, you're so right this has to do with parents and begins with as a kid, i used to be terrified if a teacher called my parents. now teachers call the parents and the parents go yell at the teachers for abusing their poor

kids and telling them they may not be doing something right. this begins in like kindergarten. this article has a great phrase in it called self-incentalization. you know what? by the age of 18 you can hack some uncomfortable truths that you may not agree with then maybe you should live in mommy and daddy's bedroom for the rest of your life and not go out into the larger world. when they get out of college the real world is scary and you may not always like what you hear. >> that's true. >> you've got to live with it. >> i don't know, i come from the bay area. safe spaces under the desk during a drill. i mean, what is happening in schools? i think i have to start my own university. >> yeah i would like that. >> oh, i'm sure you won't get any takers. >> can you imagine? i think it would be amazing. just imagine. >> what would the criteria be to get in? >> intelligent patriotism. >> if you're a kid and you watch -- if you listen to any hip-hop hip-hop, any music, if you play a video game that would violate
2:36 pm
everything we're talking about. >> exactly. >> trigger warnings all over the place. >> and then the amazing thing is that some students feel it's okay to violate your space in a protest. they'll walk into -- you'll be having brunch. >> right. >> and they'll come in and yell at you, black lives matter, and then go back to their thing. >> let me say this is a liberal, though. >> yeah. >> come on. to me being a liberal is all about the first amendment. you should say what you want to say. you know, this whole notion of having to be politically correct about everything, this is not liberalism. in fact, today college campuses most of these people pushing these probably think of themselves as liberals, they're not. they're children. >> yeah. all right. on that note, we must move ahead. speaking of children they're so adorable. should kids be saddled with endless amounts of homework? i think so. i think they should just be saddles, period. ridden into the forest. next on "the five."

♪ hey teacher leave them kids alone ♪ that wasn't predictable. >> come on, that was good bump-in music. don't even. all right. a lot of kids complained about homework so can too much actually be bad for them? i can't believe we're doing this segment. kids, don't listen. a recent study found an hour a night is just enough to yield good scores on tests, and any more than that can be counterproductive. so what they're trying to tell me julie is that all those thousands of hours that i spent studying, slaving over my books i only needed to do an hour? do you believe that? >> you know what? the hardest i worked ever was on the show, but before that was in high school when i had about 10,000 hours, it feels like, of homework a week. and it prepared me for life. that's what you have to do. i'm all for it. >> it's just more about discipline and focus. >> this comes back to what i was
2:42 pm
saying before, it's all making sure that we don't treat our kids, you know, we have to treat our kids with kid gloves and make sure they don't work too hard and treat them like babies even in high school. come on grow up. life is about hard work or you're not going to get anywhere and live in your parents' basement the rest of your life. >> so i think it depends on the kid, right? if the kid's self-motivated he's focused or she's focused, then maybe you can go a little lighter. i'm all for it. my son does homework every day. we make sure he comes home, if his grades warrant he can get some things. he can go out after he finishes homework. we also do a lot of studying. i study with him. maybe every kid doesn't need that much. maybe some kids can get away with it. i will tell you though if you want them to compete in the job market after college, if you want to go to a good college and compete, you'd better be prepared to do more than 60 minutes of homework a day. you're going to get slammed when you go to college. >> you know the chinese aren't doing segments like this. >> no.
2:43 pm
>> they're, like, no! that conversation is banned. do your homework! >> they're saying five hours a night instead of one. >> 50 a week. dana, what do you say? does josh bring home home orc? >> no. i have a friend she's a grandmother, she's staying with her 6-year-old and 5-year-old grandkids this week while the parents are on vacation. she said you could not believe how much homework actually comes home for a first grader. and she's surprised by that. so i think maybe this study is talking more about the younger kids than it is people in high school. i'm not sure, because it says k-12. but i do think that there's something that again, parents can do but with kids is that make sure that they are sleeping enough at night and having good nutrition in the morning so that they can pay attention during class because you don't have to study as much after school if you can pay attention and be really alert during class. plus i think that people are learning now to work smarter, not harder. all the things that we used to have to memorize you don't have to memorize anymore because it's at your fingertips on any sort of internet search. >> i think memorizing -- i loved
2:44 pm
memorizeation memorization. >> i do, too. like greg said, it ruins. >> good mental cognitive exercise to memorize and use techniques so you can do things without notes. greg, do you have anything to contribute to this segment? >> no i tutor a lot of teens in my rv. that's one of my four rs, reading, writing, arithmetic and rv. homework teaches the skill to work unsupervised. to be on your own. two, it improves academic achievement. studies show that. it's important. three, it gives the parent time to drink green tea margaritas in the backyard. >> are those good? >> they're fantastic. >> what is that? >> margaritas using green tea. we'll get to that later. we're doing a whole hour on it tonight. but the point is, homework should be appropriate perhaps for the home. it should involve the family. if you're going to give out homework assignments, make it a puzzle or an experiment in the kitchen. that's what we used to do. so it gets the family involved so they're not awesome or just
2:45 pm
scribbling away. that's constructive criticism, america. you're welcome. >> what family? >> that's a good point. >> that's the problem. >> it's not homework it's the home. there's no home anymore, dana. no home at all. >> increasingly so. >> that's true. >> kids don't love homework. my son tried to leave his in the customs line in the dominican republic. >> we did a story on the dangers of texting while driving. i work on a tv show. the teacher gave her a "c" plus. a "c" would have been fine, but it's insulting when they add the plus. >> are you going to send a note? >> did you call the teacher to complain? >> no no, i was drunk. they were right, it was "c" plus. >> don't accept tutoring from greg on craigslist. all right. when "the five" returns if you're a tom hanks fan we know you're out there, you're in luck. you're about to see the actor relive almost his entire movie career in just minutes. the hanks-a-thon is next. you don't want to miss this. well, a mortgage shouldn't be a problem your credit is in pretty good shape. >>pretty good? i know i have a 798
