by my large american family. i'll give hello, everyone. happy thanksgiving. i'm kimberly along with bob, eric, dana and andrea. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." happy turkey day, everybody. we are thankful to have you with us tonight, and we're thankful for our troops and so many other things this unique american holiday. happy hanukkah to all those that are celebrating. let's kick things off with some great interviews by the college news website campus reform. one of the reporters wanted to find out how much college students actually know about the history of thanksgiving. wasn't pretty. >> the pilgrims, a group of people from?

>> ireland? >> traveled to north america on a boat called the? >> oh! >> pilgrims landed in north america on a spot called. >> north america. >> and when the mayflower landed they encountered thousands of. >> indians. >> the native americans were excellent. >> arrow shooters? >> tepee makers. >> the pilgrims were really good at? >> taking people's land. >> ouch. let's hope none of them are american history majors. it might be a problem. bringing those grades home to the parents. eric, what do you make of this? >> bob and i are looking at our football picks. >> you weren't paying close attention. >> not a surprise. young kids, it's amazing how little they pay attention. history is one be of those subjects that a lot of kids are really into. my son's really into history, he roloves it.

a lot of people in the building love history. a lot of kids don't pay attention to history. >> do they know 1621, the first thanksgiving? >> i think so. why are you looking at me. >> was that the date? >> that was the date. >> it was in november. know a lot of things. >> it wasn't in november? >> it actually wasn't in november. >> abraham lincoln dedicated the day. >> correct. abraham lincoln around 18 -- i don't know what year it was. he decided it was the fourth thursday in november that's why it's so late this year. >> i love the story of the mayflower. i always loved it. i thought it was great. i'm not going to come down too hard on the kids. >> american history is important. the principles the country was founded on, our very unique history. shouldn't children know it? shouldn't adults remember it? >> i have a graduate from

politics at george washington university. i brought my two kids in who graduated from high school. my two kids had them exactly right. the other -- not one of the 25 of my graduating class could name more than 80%. it was amazing to me. not only that, they couldn't write. outside of that -- i think history is important. the old line, history repeats itself, it does. particularly in politics. you study that. we talked last week about liberals, are they dead, are conservatives dead? the cycles are the cycles are the cycles. >> even the part that maybe aren't so great about our past and about our history. if you look at the history of the treatment of american indians, it's an embarrassing blemish on our culture, it is. i do think sometimes we avoid it. we don't want to get into history. bob, i agree with you. you're right. if we don't learn it, we'll repeat the mistakes. i learned we were -- really in

trouble. i was going to say screwed. when we talked earlier this year on "the five" when more kids knew about twerking than joe biden. i don't think current events are permeating kids. >> i know i don't. >> you would rather focus on twerking, bob, and you do in your after hours, but you at least know who biden is. >> there should be more emphasis on it in school. children will be better off to learn the history of this great country. now to some thanksgiving food guilt we're getting from environmental activists. brian palmer is urging us to take a moment to consider the impact our meals will have on the earth and the climate. do you think about that? he writes, quote, a 3 1/2 ounce serving of turkey is responsible for approximately 2.4 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalents. one cup of delicious mouth watering mashed potatoes will release approximately 1.5 pounds

and alcohol may be another significant con triktor. he concludes if you're traveling fewer than ten miles, there is a good chance you'll emit more carbon dioxide eating than driving to and from your meal. that is just completely ruining my thanksgiving. >> so i think you should drive around the block a few times, light up the barbecue, put a whole bunch of lighter fluid on it, deep-fry t make some mashed potatoes. come on, really? is there any significance to this whatsoever? do we know that any sort of man-made carbon emissions. >> turkeys aren't safe. they want to take thanksgiving away. the poor turkeys, that's the big dig every year. >> by that calculation i'm going to contribute 45 pounds to carbon dioxide after the show. >> thank goodness you don't drink. >> there's nothing that's made

or grown on a farm that -- >> dana, don't they have anything better to do? >> there is nothing more tiresome than an environmentalist freak at your thanksgiving day dinner. people eat every day. that's what we do. it takes energy in order to make food. we should want more people to have food. one of the big problems we have in america is hunger. around the world there is hunger. let people eat and then we can solve environmental problems going forward. the last bit of the article says i have no desire to turn back the clock to 17th century life which strikes me as having been cold, boring and rather sickly. so then why did you write the article in the first place? >> right. >> well, that's the problem. >> so then we can do it on "the five." >> right. and we can talk about how angry we are and enjoy our

thanksgiving meal. you should see this feast in front of us. they want us to not drive through the mcdonald's drive through. walk through it. not eat thanksgiving. >> they want us not to eat. >> okay. there's 15 things of carbon -- >> anyone else? >> you've had your eye on that leg. >> nobody will touch it. >> put that in the leg chair. >> okay. >> any napkins? can i have a napkin? dana, let me borrow your napkin. >> for 364 of days of the year there are the same biorens, first you're driving and -- >> how do you make this up. >> they believe cow flatulence -- >> this is thanksgiving. thinking about the flatulence at their house. >> and people who eat too much, they argue that fat people supposedly contribute more to environmental destruction because the more food they

consume, that means more trucks on the road. i guess under their opinion we should all be anorexic? >> we should not eat? >> that means i'll be contributing as much as all of you combined. >> the government is pushing this holiday recipe makeover so you're not supposed to eat anything canned, you're not supposed to have anything salty. don't eat anything awesome or that tastes good. by the way, hello, how about the canned beats. how about the cranberry sauce. all of that stuff is amazing. >> remember we did that about organic food, which i think is the most ridiculous concept in the world. free range turkeys, been running all over the streets. they're not like chickens. chickens you can keep track of. turkeys are big animals or big birds. >> do you stay up all night thinking about this. >> no. this guy stopped me outside, his son shot his first turkey.

do you know how hafrd it is to hit a wild turkey with a bow and arrow. >> andrew, let's talk about thanksgiving. i want to hear about what your families are doing. andrea, i know it's a special time to be with your mother and family. >> yes. we're all getting together at my mom's house and we'll have a couple of extra friends. my younger brother's teacher is coming over. >> who else? who else? other friends you're bringing? >> other friends. i don't know, my brother, my sister, my nieces, my nephews, my boyfriend, we're all around the table eating. if we include more people it's more fun. my dad passed away, my brother passed away, we have more people around, it helps. >> ms. perrino? >> well, like a lot of americans i don't live near my family to be able to travel there so we end up establishes our own

traditions. we're vagabonds. i've been reflecting about this past year. i'm very thankful for our show and certainly our health and our ability to have really good conversations and debates and still walk away friends and be able to come back and sit around this table. >> this is our thursday show, isn't it? >> yes. >> mr. bolding? >> we traditionally have thanksgiving at our house. my wife adrian has cooked a turkey upside down which i've talked about. >> it tastes better that way. >> it was an accident at first. it really worked. this year we'll go to a restaurant, believe it or not. we have a big group of family. they're going to try the restaurant route. >> are you trying to reduce your carbon footprint? >> they're going to walk to the restaurant. >> bobby, what are you doing? >> you talk about a risky maneuver.

i'm going to my ex-wife's house. my kids are going to be there they're very gracious. my mother-in-law is there, she loves you. >> she loves you. she loves "the five". >> they're going to watch "the five." >> you'll bring some delicious thing. >> the nice mother-in-law. it's interesting, bob. we both have a little bit of a modern family situation. i will again spend thanksgiving with my i guess former in-laws. my son's grandparents and my ex-husband and his fwirl friend. >> which one? >> imt a he sorry. >> only two. only two, america. well, it's going to be nice. we know you're having a nice thanksgiving as well. certainly appreciate spending it with you. when we come back. it's been an annual tradition here on "the five." our picks are coming your way. ♪ ♪

i can't tell you. >> oh, boy. >> but that would have been -- if it's funny in the first week, but if she were to go back on jon stewart show tomorrow the day after thanksgiving, that same exact thing would probably happen, run out of time. andrea, you are next. you have a good one. >> yeah, i was going to do the irs and then i got nervous that i would be audited. it's like a turkey thing. let's move on, but at least i got mine in. continuing with kimberly's mayoral thing. remember bob filner who assaulted, what was it, 10 total, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. it was a democrat but no women in california wanted to weigh in on that war on women. what did he say on women. what kind of underpants are you wearing in the office? anyway, he's a big turkey, but at least he's not the mayor anyway. >> i'm sure there's no republicans that ever said that. >> we're not the ones that

such a thing as twitter karma. it will come back to get them if they put that negativity on the air. >> when i get one that bothers me, i get back to them and say i used to say in e-mails, was it your mother that married her brother or your father that married her sister. >> that fits in 140 characters. >> why do you respond? they want you to say that nasty four letter word. >> you can't punch them out you might as well hurt them. >> here's my advice. between thanksgiving and christmas, do yourself a favor and prove your twitter karma. send everybody a nice tweet. bob, you haven't done your turkey. >> i have two. turkey is a word, you know, that may be pejorative to a lot of people. my man, my man teddy cruz has been -- he's been a life blood to me this year. i've had to sit here with obama care and the rest of it. teddy, thank you so much, man. even though you are a turkey. rand paul, let me say one thing,
