What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse Waters, along with Paul Morrow, Jessica Tarlow, Dana Perino, and Greg Gutfeld. It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five.
Denny, Denny, Denny. Just kidding. Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed campaigning like a commie in camouflage, backing policies like Medicare for all and abolishing ICE, but denying that he's a socialist snake in the grass at the final Democratic debate.
When it comes to the question of socialism, I'm not a socialist. I'm just a capitalist who understands how capitalism works. The biggest threat to capitalism was never the idea of government regulation. It was always monopoly.
And there's a reason El-Sayed's a socialist in practice, but not in public. The DSA brand is becoming political poison for the party. The clear majority of voters say that the Democratic Party is too liberal.
And you know what is fueling that? You know what's only adding fuel to the fire? How about the Democratic Socialists of America?
I would argue the biggest red flag that Republicans, or excuse me, Democrats have, the biggest red flag, look at this. It's apathy. Not believing that Democrats can change anything. And after the new DSA co-chair's insane platform went viral, some Democrats in the media are begging them to cut the commie nonsense.
This is not a big tent kind of like, well, you know, like, you know, abolish prisons, abolish the border, abolish the presidency, abolish the Pentagon. I mean, this these are crazy people.
That's a huge problem. These are views that are, I think, represented by a very small amount of individuals.
Is Abdul El‑Sayed really a socialist — what did he say at the Michigan debate?
Some of this DSA stuff, let's be very clear, Stephanie, is way out of touch.
If Democrats want to make America more affordable. more fair and more free? And I think they do. They better speak truth to its most extreme base or they're going to let a small faction of radicals drive more people toward Donald Trump. Finally, Greg, some Democrats are starting to stand up and say, whoa, slow down. It's not just that, though. You have a socialist denying that he's really a socialist. And it's it's a it's a thing that is unique to the spectrum of the left from the centrist liberal to the ultimate socialist. They always walk back their beliefs at every chance. You rarely hear a white right winger go, I'm not that conservative. You never hear that. But how many times have you heard a liberal, Jessica, say, I'm a liberal, but I'm not crazy like those nutbags.
I'm not.
But it's like, but. It's because you kind of innately know that leftism is loony and out of step with mainstream thinking that you have to go, yeah, I'm a little nutty, but I'm not that nutty. Meanwhile, you guys call us Nazis, but we get rid of our Nazis. We don't push them into the Senate and hope they win. Right now, what I find is that the DSA is saying exactly what they are to everyone. They may be the most honest leftists about what they want. They're saying what they want to take over. They're saying what they want to tax. They want to they're saying what they want to ban. And it reveals an essential truth. about socialism and I would say the slower socialism called Democrats is that it's all top-down social engineering and it cannot exist unless you enforce it aggressively, which means it is antithetical to human nature.
If this stuff was so innate, why do you have to force it down our throats? You know, capitalism doesn't need a movement. Do you know what I mean? There's no capital. There's no, you know, Republican capitalist society. Socialism needs a movement because they need to force it. Capitalism flaws and all most resembles human behavior, which is where we are. We live by incentives and disincentives. We like to trade, buy and sell goods. We need that. We'll give you this. That's how it works. Socialism has to aggressively tell you that this is superior because you won't buy it. I also think people are they're not just sick of socialism because it's we've heard enough about it now. There's still stuff lingering here that I think people have gotten tired of.
