What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino, along with Emily Campagno, Jessica Tarlop, Jesse Waters, and Tyrus. It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five. Like our party, if you look at what happened with Trump, you had a whole bunch of
like center-right people realized that they had no home in the party that they destroyed. And then they all came to our party and tried to tell us what our party ought to be. Part of me is like, why does anybody still listen to James Carver? He said one smart thing once, which he seems to have forgotten, which is, it's the economy, stupid. Oh, yay, the team, the interns, the volunteers. There they all are. I'm proud of you kids. I'm not salty grapes. You know, I've been joyous, excited, enthusiastic, doing this the Michigan way. Maybe instead of being with Mr. Piker, you know, if he ends up winning the nomination, maybe he'll come with me and hear from some of the small businesses who don't want this extreme politics coming into our state.
And looking ahead to next week's primary, the socialist who wants to become Wisconsin's new governor, Francesca Hong, was on CNN last night, and she could not just flat out say no when asked why she once called for Thanksgiving to be canceled. Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled?
I'm a chef, and one of the first meals that I made that was canceled For the community, when I was 16, was a Thanksgiving meal. Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. And so I think there I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve.
Views can evolve, Tyrus. Why were they all fake talking by the pool?
What is with the—I'm not going to say Democrat because I don't want to insult Jessica because she's authentic. But what is with the fakeness of the—who talks like this? You look this way, and I'll look this way, and we'll talk with sunglasses on. It's just—it's such a work. And not having the ability to stand by what you say, how dare you besmirch Thanksgiving? Okay, that is the one holiday that is there for me. Christmas is about the kids, every other holiday. Thanksgiving is my day. And it's the one holiday where you share with your neighbors. The whole precipice was, if it wasn't for Thanksgiving, the pilgrims wouldn't have made it. Because the Native Americans on the mammoth stolen land... came down and they shared a cornucopia, which is, you only say that during Thanksgiving, to bring us together, to exchange differences and make sure everybody eats.
And you want to attack Thanksgiving? Where do you draw the line?
I don't think she... I think that she would have preferred that the pilgrims not survive. Right?
No, because you wouldn't be... Isn't that her point? This is... Yeah, you... This white... White privilege is gone. It was it was completely gone because it's just if you're white now, they're hoping you didn't make it in the storm. Like this is in back in the day, which, by the way, I believe you have a biracial child whose father is Caucasian.
Well, she said that that does make her. She says it increases her proximity to whiteness.
My proximity to whiteness right now was unbelievable. And I'm okay, ladies and gentlemen, I'm fine. But this, this nonsense, you know what this really is though, Dana, this all comes down to, I think the reason why these people get opportunities to run for office is America is just tired of politics.
Why are Michigan and Wisconsin primaries spotlighting far-left vs. moderate Democrats?
Nobody wants to vote anymore. Veterans aren't voting. Hunters aren't voting. Christians aren't voting. Everyone's just kind of, it doesn't matter. And when you have 11% turnout for votes, these type of, individuals get opportunities because this isn't America, and this is not how everyone thinks at all.
Jesse, El-Sayed might have some momentum here, and he doesn't want to just lead a movement. He wants a revolution.
Well, he might win. And the polls show he's going to beat this stocky white woman who used to work for Barack Obama. She's got this kind of aw shucks, the underdog attitude like she's stuck in another time.
