Socialist Circus
Summary
The Five discusses the Socialist 2026 conference in Chicago, mocking radical ideas like labeling weight loss drugs as fascist and criticizing the DSA’s influence on the Democratic Party. The panel analyzes Gavin Newsom’s recent interview, questioning his 2028 presidential ambitions and his alignment with progressive policies. They also address Seattle’s use of the term “trigger pullers” for gang members, arguing that focusing on language distracts from prosecuting violent crime. Finally, the hosts debate a UN vote on the “Equal Earth” map and a study claiming vegans are more attractive.
