00:00Good evening. Hope you're having a great Saturday night. Welcome back to My View.
00:04If you tuned into the mainstream media after election night, you'd think a socialist wave
00:08was sweeping across the country. One headline gushed that Zoran Mamdani's victory in New York
00:14meant it was morning in America for democratic socialists. And then Seattle elected Katie
00:20Wilson, a Mamdani copycat, and the press declared socialism was here to stay. Heck,
00:25the Democrats could barely stomach condemning socialism on the House floor yesterday. But
00:31let's zoom out. Because while liberal city progressives pop champagne, voters in some of
00:36the blue estates are quietly revolting against the very agenda the left is trying to sell. In New York,
00:43Congresswoman Elise Stefanik is gaining on Kathy Hochul, striking a double-digit lead and turning
00:48that into a real governor's race. And in California, the latest statewide polls show Riverside County
00:55Sheriff Chad Bianco, a pro-Trump, tough-on-crime Republican, leading a crowded governor's race
01:01and outperforming several big-name Democrats. Of course, Congressman Eric Swalwell is in need of
01:07attention again. So he just joined the race with help from none other than who else? Jimmy Kimmel.
01:12But in the so-called Golden State, there's widespread voter anger about affordability,
01:18housing, and homelessness. The same crises Democrats created, thanks Eric Swalwell and Gavin Newsom,
01:26are now driving voters straight into the arms of a conservative sheriff. So yes, the far left can
01:31elect socialists in the Big Apple in Seattle. But across the country, the pendulum is swinging back.
01:38Because when families can't afford groceries, can't find a home, and don't feel safe walking down their
01:43own street, they're not looking for lectures on equity or social justice. They're looking for real
01:49results. And in California, of all places, Chad Bianco may be the one to deliver. So I sat down with
01:56the sheriff this week to understand his rise in the polls and what California voters really have to say.
02:03Sheriff, thank you so much for taking some time with us. We're excited to talk to you.
02:06In recent statewide polling here in California, you are actually leading a very crowded field in
02:13the race for governor. You are even leading some very well-known, pretty big-name Democrats.
02:19So what do you think it is that you've been able to communicate to the people here in California
02:24that has really resonated? I think the big thing is everyone knows I'm doing this for Californians.
02:29This is not for a political party. It's not for an agenda. It's not for my own personal agenda.
02:33It's Californians. We've been ignored and abused for so long by the Democrats in California that
02:41people are just tired of it. And I think we're finally seeing that rise up of saying enough is
02:47enough. Well, obviously, you're a sheriff. You believe in law enforcement. You believe in tough
02:51on crime policies. And you're kind of trying to connect your background in law enforcement with a
02:58lot of the voter frustration right here in this state. Homelessness, public disorder, quality of
03:04life issues. Yeah, I've done 32 years now of strapping on a gun and a badge every day to go make
03:10everyone else's life better every single day. And I think that's what they're seeing. It's like,
03:14hey, we can look for a sheriff to make our lives better here. Public safety is always at the top of
03:20everyone's poll when it comes to biggest concerns of a state or a community. And it should be. It
03:26doesn't matter if cost of living was lowered, if we're not safe going outside. So everyone,
03:31including Democrats, want their kids safe, want their businesses safe and open, the homeless issue
03:36fixed and solved. It really comes down to leadership. It's do people believe that you are the leader
03:42that they need to move the needle forward? With law enforcement, I don't want to say I'm any better
03:48than anyone else. But 32 years of on the job training of solving everyone else's emergencies.
03:53That's really what my life has been is 911 calls are someone's emergency, gather the information you
03:59can fix it and move on to the next emergency. And then as I promote, as I especially into this position
04:05now, I'm just responsible for more. So it's I don't get flustered. I don't get nothing. Nothing scares
04:12me. It's you find a problem, you address it, you figure out what the solution is going to be,
04:16and then you just do it. And that's what leadership is. That's it takes leadership to be able to do
04:21that. You've been very critical of the current leadership here in California. So give me your
04:26biggest criticisms of and critiques of the current governor Gavin Newsom. Yeah, he's not a leader.
04:33He is an absolute failed leader. The number one attribute of a leader is you have to care more
04:38about other people than you care about yourself. And it's not a secret to anyone on any side of the
04:44political spectrum. Governor Newsom doesn't care about anyone other than Gavin Newsom. And then
04:51when you have a supermajority of Democrats that run the state, you there's no leadership even needed.
04:56It's just you do whatever you want. And everybody goes along with it. It's group think. It's it's
05:01acting in a vacuum. And that leadership is void. So whenever you are out and about, you're obviously
05:06traveling all over the state. What is it that you hear the most from people? Do you hear from people
05:11who are just fed up? They're tired of being lied to. They're tired of not knowing who to believe
05:17or having anyone to believe. But the overarching theme is no one wants to move. California is
05:24perfect. And for those of you in other states, and I appreciate your states and everything else,
05:29but we have everything that every other state has and more so. And the only thing that is ruining
05:36our state is its politics. And it's been decades in the making. And it's been an experiment. It's
05:42unfortunately been a social experiment that has failed. And people have said, they're saying now
05:48we've had enough. There's a love affair with criminals that our current government has in this
05:52state. It has to stop. It has to end. And crime has to be a crime. People have to be held accountable.
05:59And that's what we're hearing on the campaign trail is, I don't want to move. I don't want my kids to
06:04move. And something has to change to keep us here. Well, let me ask you about the crime here. You
06:09have criticized California's sanctuary state status. So as governor, what is it that you would do about
06:17that? And how would you work with federal law enforcement who's trying to enact law here?
06:21Yeah, I'm currently suing the state. We have a lawsuit against the state because our sanctuary state
06:26law, SB 54, which is what it was here, is unconstitutional. It forces me to violate federal law or state law,
06:33which in and of itself makes it unconstitutional. The problem is our government doesn't care. So they're just
06:39letting it drag through the court system. But regardless, the sanctuary state law here is harming
06:45California. It does nothing to keep us safe. It does nothing to keep the immigrant community here safe. It is
06:51nothing. It was meant nothing except to keep criminals from being deported. Local law enforcement has to be able to
07:00work hand in hand with our federal government partners. And other than this, we do. And we have
07:05great relationships. And that's how we keep people safe. When we have the mayor of LA and when we have our
07:11governor telling people to get in the faces of law enforcement and rise up and stand up and fight, you
07:17know what that is doing. They are purposely calling for those people to create violence. And it is a
07:24political way of getting their way. And it is absolutely wrong. And voters need to be so frustrated and demand
07:31better to make our politicians stop doing it. Well, you talked about a lawsuit that you currently have
07:38underway. California Republicans are currently suing over Proposition 50. This is the new congressional map, and
07:45they're alleging that it's unconstitutional. So do you feel like the current political rules here are rigged for the
07:52Democrats? Yeah, it's completely rigged. Our election process has been rigged to keep the Democrat Party in
08:00power, honestly, since the 60s. And every 20 years, people get so fed up with it, they elect a Republican
08:08governor. And that's where we are right now. The gerrymandering districting, really for me, being at the
08:14head of law enforcement, the leader of law enforcement, the Constitution and the constitutional rights of
08:18Californians actually matter. And our current government, they despise both the state
08:24Constitution and the federal Constitution. So this gerrymandering of this election to keep them in power, it made no
08:30sense. We know that there was a lot of dishonest dishonesty in the advertising. I think it's going to backfire on what
08:38they did here because it's one more nail in the coffin of we're tired of being lied to. So Katie Porter, who's also running for
08:45governor, was asked in a fairly recent interview, how she would reach out to Trump voters here in the state of California. And
08:54she didn't really feel like she needed to do that. I will ask you as someone who's running for governor, how are you
08:59reaching out to people who voted for Kamala Harris or people who previously voted for Gavin Newsom in order to convince them
09:07that you should be the next governor? Yeah, I'm making it very clear that this is not to turn California red. This is not about
09:13Republicans beating the Democrats. This is about Californians. This is about finally a government that is going to make
09:19Californians lives better. And that is what is resonating. And I completely opposite of her. I am reaching out to the
09:29Democrat side. I am reaching out to anyone, even nonpolitical. I don't I don't care who you are. If you live in California, you're the
09:37person I'm trying to reach. And it's just to say that life could be better here. If we would get government out of our way and stop really
09:44catering to special interests and care more about Californians as a whole. Well, let's assume you are elected the next governor of
09:50California. At the end of your term, where would you like to see things here in the state? What would be your hope at the end of
09:58your time as governor? I am going to show California that character does matter. Integrity does matter. And by the time we're finished,
10:06California will be hands down the greatest state in the country. And we will be proud to call ourselves
10:11Californians again. We will be the most business friendly. We will have the lowest taxes. We will have
10:16the lowest, if any, business regulations that are forcing our businesses out and preventing them from
10:21coming in. We will take every great thing we have about California and it will be amplified because our
10:28political system will once again be designed to make Californians lives better. We want to make California great
10:34again. We absolutely do. Still ahead. Are we finally closer to seeing an end to the deadly conflict in
10:41Ukraine? The administration has a plan and Keith Kellogg lays out the latest. Plus, we're in the kitchen
10:47with the legendary Paula Deen just in time for Thanksgiving.
10:56We've seen it repeatedly this year. President Trump is determined to end wars, not start them.
11:01From brokering a peace deal that finally stopped the bloodshed in Gaza to resolving other longstanding
11:07conflicts, this White House has made global stability a priority. And now there appears to be momentum
11:13on another front, Ukraine. Reports of a White House-backed 28-point peace plan are already circulating
11:20in Washington. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt addressed the speculation on Thursday.
11:25Special Envoy Whitcoff, Marco Rubio, have been working on a plan quietly for about the last month.
11:33They've been engaging with both sides, Russia and Ukraine, equally to understand what these
11:39countries would commit to in order to see a lasting and durable peace. But the president supports this
11:44plan. It's a good plan for both Russia and Ukraine. And we believe that it should be acceptable to both
11:50sides. And we're working very hard to get it done. But even with a peace plan in motion, Capitol Hill
11:57isn't letting up. Senate Republicans are preparing a new round of hard-hitting sanctions targeting
12:02Russia's trading partners to increase the pressure on the Kremlin and force a resolution. Special Envoy
12:08Keith Kellogg and I sat down earlier this year as the administration worked on diplomacy.
12:12And he joins me now on these latest developments. Listen, we are so happy to see you back here. Special Envoy
12:21Kellogg, we're so happy to hear about a potential peace plan. This has been a long-standing war. We want to see
12:28it come to an end, as the president has acknowledged. So give me your assessment of what we've heard here in this
12:34potential peace deal.
12:35Yeah, Laura, thank you for having me on the program. Look, what you said just a second ago is
12:41important for people that are hearing this to realize. This is the longest war in Europe since
12:46World War II. I mean, the numbers of the losses, killed and wounded, are astronomical. You can't
12:53appreciate it as you get on the ground. And you see it on the ground. And I've been on the ground. You've seen
12:58the wounded in the European military hospital or on the front lines, what you see there. And President Trump is
13:04going to bring this to an end. And give President Trump full credit. This is a war that he inherited.
13:09Didn't happen on his watch. But he's brought it to a place where in the military, we always say the last
13:1410 meters to an objective are always the hardest to get to. We're in about the last two meters. We're
13:20almost there. And the 28-point peace plan that's been brought forward is a work in progress, meaning
13:26there's going to be work during the whole week of Thanksgiving to make sure that we get to an end state on
13:31it. And I think we have a chance to get there. We have to put in supporting documents, probably
13:37an annex. There would be security guarantees. And I talked to Jared Kushner just recently,
13:42and I think we'll get those on the plan. But it's like a framework. There are 28 positions on there
13:49that if you read them, you know, it really does count what words are said in this, because words do
13:55matter. You know, when you look at what Santiano said in the past, those who forget history are
14:01condemned to repeat it. We don't want history to repeat itself. We don't want the Budapest
14:05memorandum to come back. We don't want the Minx one or two to come back. It's the United States
14:10that's going to guarantee part of this. And when you talk to the Ukrainians, and I talked to them
14:15as recently as this morning, they really trust the Americans. They really do.
14:19Primarily the Europeans are in there as well to help us out there. But it's in their neighborhood,
14:26and they're going to have to bear some of the responsibility for this
14:29peace deal as well as the Americans. But he, President Trump is the one who's brought it
14:34to fruition, and he gets full credit for it. The war he inherited, bring it to conclusion. I think if we
14:39can get to an end state with these 28 points on the plan, they're pretty good. It's a good plan.
14:44There are things in there that need to be really kind of codified and really explained a little bit
14:50more. But we're almost there. And I think with this, when Zelensky comes to the United States,
14:56which you probably will, there's no guarantee of it, they'll be able to say, yeah, this is a good
15:00plan. We're going to go with it. Now on Friday, he did address the nation. He addressed Ukraine,
15:06and he laid out his plan for it. He didn't throw the plan back in everybody's face. And we had teams over
15:12there. Secretary Driscoll of the United States Army was there. We've had in the past, I was there.
15:17Witkoff has been there. So overall, of the 28 points, would I write it a little bit different?
15:22Sure, I would. Anybody would. But I think the framework is there for conclusion.
15:28Well, let me get your reaction to listen to this from a Ukrainian representative very quickly.
15:33There will never be any recognition, formal or otherwise, of Ukrainian territory temporarily
15:41occupied by the Russian Federation as Russian. Our land is not for sale. Ukraine will not accept
15:48any limits on its right to self-defense or on the size and capabilities of our armed forces.
15:56Nor will we tolerate any infringement on our sovereignty, including our sovereign right to
16:01choose the alliances we want to join. So, General Kellogg, obviously, we have heard from Ukraine from
16:08the beginning. They have taken a hard line on the fact that they will not concede any land. Yet,
16:13we know within part of this 28-point plan, that may be in there. So how does what we're seeing right now
16:21with this plan and this potential peace deal differ from maybe things of the past? And do you think that
16:27we will actually get there, given what you just heard? Well, I think the UN ambassador made her
16:33comments. I think it's posturing. I think they need to posture for their own people. But I think the
16:38details of the program and the plan need to be worked through, a little more definition of the plans that
16:44are out there. I think President Trump will do that. His teams will do it. And it's a multi-track effort.
16:49You know, myself and Steve Witkoff, Kamil Dmitriyev from Russia, you've got the Ukrainians involved,
16:55get it to a point where it's really pretty hard that they can't say no to,
16:59giving them security guarantees to do it. And when you read the plan, if you really read it,
17:04word by word, it's not a bad plan. It's really well put together. The team has done a good job.
17:10It's done a hard job. There are some things that need to be modified a bit. But that's done with
17:14negotiations. And the President realizes that. I just think on the end state that I think
17:19the framework is there to come to a conclusion. It's not going to be up to the Russians to accept it.
17:24I think we can drive the Ukrainians to it. And I think we can drive the Russians to it later on as
17:28well with the President Putin. So overall, I understand what she is saying. I hear what she
17:34is saying. I hear what Zelensky said on Friday when he spoke to the nation. It's part of their
17:39posturing. I've got that. But they've got some hard decisions to make. You know, this war has got to be
17:44brought to an end because they're looking at some catastrophic losses. So are the Russians. And I think
17:50Europe would be a better place if we get to peace. And again, I think we're almost there.
17:55And I think we can be driven to that. Yeah, a million deaths plus so far. And the President
18:02continues to acknowledge, General, that he wants to see the killing end. He has said that from the
18:06very beginning, from before he even took, you know, his second oath of office. That has been his pledge
18:12and his vow. What about Russia? Any hardline positions you see Russia taking where they say,
18:17we're not going to move on this? Well, I think the Russians will come back
18:20because they obviously have to leave our nation with Putin. He'll make some demands as well,
18:25some changes in the document. You said something, though, that I think people really do have to
18:29realize. As a former soldier, the catastrophic losses, you just cannot imagine this. When you talk
18:36about a million killed or wounded on both sides, I'm not talking an aggregate of together. I'm
18:41even a million soldiers dead and wounded on the Ukrainian side, a million dead and wounded on
18:48the Russian side. Those losses are catastrophic. Just as an example, the frame of reference,
18:54the Soviet Union left Afghanistan after losing 18,000. We left Vietnam when we lost 60,000. We
19:02are talking about a million dead and wounded. That is an unheard of number. And from a soldier,
19:08you've got to think about your soldiers on the battlefield and you get it to a resolution.
19:12And I think when you get to a resolution, the guarantees we provide, which we are going to provide,
19:17the security guarantees, will allow Ukraine to maintain their sovereignty. And that's in the plan
19:23that state sovereignty remains. And we can build them out as we go forward, both with Europeans and
19:29with ourselves as well. Now, there is this point in the plan I think is important too, that there's going
19:34to be elections. It says in the plan quite clearly that Ukraine needs to have elections within 100
19:38days. You can probably get there in about 90 days based on the people I've talked to. It'll be an
19:44interesting process, but I think they need to have them. It'll reassure the people. It'll reassure
19:49the free world as well. But that's one of the stipulations within the plan.
19:53Well, listen, this is great news. We're very happy to hear that there is something on the horizon,
20:01and we are all praying for the best outcome. And of course, as the president says, for the killing
20:05to stop. So Special Envoy General Keith Kellogg, thank you so much for being with us tonight. We
20:10appreciate it. Thanks, Laura. All right. Charles Payne on affordability in America, when My View returns.
20:17Welcome to Fox News Live. I'm Chandlee Painter in New York. Envoys from the U.S., Ukraine,
20:29and Europe will meet in Geneva, Switzerland in the coming hours to discuss a pathway to end the war
20:35in Ukraine. It comes as many U.S. and world leaders are pushing back on President Trump's proposed
20:4128-point peace plan. They argue it must be revised because it's overly favorable to Russia.
20:47And demands too many concessions from Ukraine. The plan reportedly includes Kyiv ceding territory to
20:54Moscow, abandoning its NATO ambitions, and limiting the size of its army. Ukraine's president warns the
21:00proposal may force his country to choose between losing its dignity or risk losing U.S. support.
21:07Trump is giving Ukraine until Thursday to accept or reject the plan, though he now says this won't be
21:13his final offer. I'm Chandlee Painter. Now back to My View with Laura Trump.
21:24This is also the golden age of America because we are doing better than we've ever done as a country.
21:30Prices are coming down and all of that stuff. My pledge to every family and every small business is that
21:36I will not rest until you are richer, stronger, more successful, happier until you've gotten a
21:43piece of the American dream. President Trump laying out a simple
21:48truth at the McDonald's summit earlier this week. We're in the middle of an American comeback. And
21:52while the work is far from over, the job market is humming along. Wages are rising and the White House is
21:58working overtime to clean up the mess of the Biden years. And yet some are still nervous. A new Fox News
22:04poll shows people are seeing costs for groceries, utilities and housing up. So why aren't people
22:10yet feeling the progress that we're seeing on paper? Joining me now is someone who's been tracking
22:15this all very closely, the host of Making Money on Fox Business, Charles Payne. Charles,
22:20no one better to go to. You obviously heard President Trump there at the McDonald's Impact Summit
22:26earlier this week. And not only did we learn that he's the first fry cook to become president of the
22:31United States. But Charles, he says he's not resting until every American is feeling the positive
22:37impact of this administration. So when are we going to see that happen? Because from the top,
22:43they're doing the right things. But when does that actually reach the people?
22:45You know, it takes some time. It really does take time. We really cannot forget what happened
22:50when President Biden was in office. Inflation was never an issue. It had not been an issue for a long
22:56time in this country. And then we went to inflation levels we had not seen in four decades. One thing
23:01about prices, they rarely go down. If you look at the CPI report, it always edges up. You know,
23:06but the point is, usually wages are up a little bit more. So it's been inconsequential. That spike,
23:12that parabolic historic spike means that people are still trying to catch up. So there have been,
23:18things are getting better. Even the assumptions about inflation are getting better. University of
23:23Michigan comes out with this survey every month. And people expect inflation to be a little bit
23:27better in the last three reports. It's still up from January. And there's some anxiety. A lot of
23:33this has to do with the fact that when the sticker shock, the sticker shock, the incremental slowing
23:39down of these numbers, just don't take away that sticker shock, which this doesn't go away overnight.
23:44But to your point, we are seeing strong evidence that core inflation is coming down and it's coming down
23:50fast. And people are going to start to notice and feel that as well. Think about all the hysteria
23:55in the first couple of months of the presidencies of Trump. Egg prices through the roof. Now, again,
24:00this was something he inherited from Joe Biden. But when they came all the way down, no one talked
24:05about it. Gasoline, which used to be the number one proxy for inflation, has come down dramatically,
24:11dramatically. No one talks about it. So it's one thing when you've got this sticker shock and you've
24:16been grappling with this problem for three or four years. And to read about it, to reinforce
24:20it by you read about it, you hear about it. It does. It doesn't go away. And these incremental
24:25moves that are just now beginning, you don't necessarily acknowledge them or feel them,
24:29but the ball is moving in the right direction. Yeah. Well, we're going to hope to see that ball
24:33continue moving in the right direction and somewhere where we have seen positive impact as well from this
24:39administration. The September jobs report, Charles, we finally got it after the Democrats shut down
24:44the country for basically two months. We finally know that 119,000 new jobs were added in the month
24:50of September. And that is very interesting because I think that surprised a lot of people. We're also
24:57seeing that native born employment is rising while you have foreign workers actually going down. A lot
25:04of that has to do with the immigration policies of this administration. So give me your overall takeaway
25:09from those numbers and the fact that we have more native Americans who are actually receiving
25:14a lot of these jobs. Well, obviously we want native Americans, native born Americans to receive
25:18those jobs. We also like the private sector to create the jobs. I think that was another highlight
25:23of this report. It's not government manufactured because we have government manufactured jobs.
25:27That means more government borrowing, more government borrowing puts price and pressure on interest
25:31rates. Again, you know, we've already just spent in the last year 1.2 trillion on the interest of
25:36government debt. That's money that could be used in other places a lot better. So they're positive
25:41things. The other number you had on there on the screen that was intriguing as well, 4.4%
25:46unemployment rate. And this is where the Federal Reserve has to do their job. This is really,
25:51there's so much that the White House can do, all the heavy lifting. And I'm really very concerned
25:55that this next meeting in December, if they don't cut rates, it's going to be a problem because small
26:01businesses, which are the engine, the engine of job growth, they need lower rates. They need to refinance
26:07their, they're already the bills that they have and the debt they have. And they also need capital
26:11to build their business. They haven't had access to it. Large businesses always have access to capital.
26:16So, uh, you know, the key component, the key component would be the Federal Reserve doing their
26:21part of the equation. Well, we'll, we'll obviously all be paying very close attention to what they end
26:27up doing. You know, something you hear about a lot, Charles, the American dream of home ownership
26:32has for many years escaped so many Americans. This is a president who says he wants to bring it back.
26:38So what do we need to see happen from your perspective in order to make that a reality?
26:43Well, I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I think it begins with the Federal Reserve. And
26:47some people argue, well, the Federal Reserve can't, can't curb the long in the bonds, which,
26:51which is the, uh, sort of a proxy for mortgage rates, but historically it has, uh, and it, and it will.
26:58Uh, so if the Fed does the right thing, uh, getting rid of red tape, you know, it's just far too much
27:03red tape. And a lot of that's local, right? I mean, a house in California, one of the reasons they
27:06cost so much money is it just, it's just heck, you got to go through, you know, just to build a house
27:11is ridiculous to start a business. It's ridiculous. And also, you know, I think we need to find ways.
27:17And I think the administration working on ways to try to get young ownership back, right? The average age
27:21of the first time home buyer is 40. Not long ago, it was in the twenties. The average home buyer,
27:26the median age of an average home buyer is 60 years old right now. So we need to find a way
27:31to get this to young people. But again, it would help a lot if they had jobs, you know,
27:35the unemployment rate for young folks is too high right now. And it all begins with a bit,
27:41a better environment, a better business environment. Now here's the good news going into next year,
27:45the big, beautiful bill, which has become law. Uh, you have all kinds of incentives in there for
27:49businesses to go out and start to get going things going to start to build power plants, data centers,
27:55other things to start making investments. You got a whole lot of money coming back to
27:59folks from tax returns. We're going to have a major boost in this economy and you'll see it
28:04also be reflected with the, in the housing market as well. Well, we like the sound of that Charles
28:10Payne, you always have the best information for us. So thanks for joining us tonight.
28:14We appreciate it. Anytime. All right. A very important guest is still ahead. Hey y'all,
28:22I'm Paula Dean and I'm in the kitchen with Laura Trump today and we're cooking up some
28:27Thanksgiving dishes that are incredible. So we hope you'll join us for Laura's view in Paula's kitchen.
28:36Just days away. And the holiday has actually inspired one of your latest questions.
28:45Hi, Laura. I'm Florence from New York. My question to you is what is the must have Thanksgiving dish
28:52at the Trump household?
28:56Well, this depends on who you ask in the Trump family. For me, it's collard
29:00grains if I'm in North Carolina and anywhere else. And at any other time it's stuffing because when
29:05else in the year is it actually acceptable just to eat stuffing? It's a full carb dish. I love it.
29:10Now, if you ask my father-in-law, I think he'd probably go with mashed potatoes and gravy.
29:15I'll be honest. I've seen him go back for seconds on those before and who can blame him?
29:19Now, if you're still looking for inspiration for your Thanksgiving table,
29:23I think our next guest may just have what you need.
29:28Paula, we're here for Thanksgiving. I hope you made something for us.
29:32So you're going to show us what to do. I made you a little something.
29:35Okay. What do we got today?
29:37You know, I have found, Laura, over the years, I'm surprised at the people that don't
29:43know how to make southern cornbread stuffing.
29:47Mmm, one of my favorites.
29:48Is it? Yes.
29:49And you being from the south, you know what I'm talking about.
29:53I do.
29:53So this is the things that you're going to need to put together your cornbread dressing.
30:00And I've already started this, so we'll just take this and add to it.
30:04Okay.
30:05And so we're crumbling that up.
30:07Just crumbling that up.
30:07And I didn't know you used crackers in a stuffing.
30:09Well, my grandma told me to use one sleeve of saltine crackers.
30:14Should I break these up?
30:15Please, please.
30:16All right, I'm going to help you out.
30:17Well, while we're talking about this and we're crumbling, I'm thankful for so much and grateful
30:22for so much this year.
30:23Me too, honey.
30:23I'm grateful to be here with you.
30:25So tell me, what is Paula Deen grateful for this year?
30:29And I know you have kind of come full circle, Paula, because you have a documentary coming
30:34out where you're talking about your story.
30:37I do.
30:37You know, the rise and the fall, all the hard work.
30:40Yeah.
30:40And you were kind of the first person canceled.
30:43I was the first.
30:45Is it canceled culture or culture canceled?
30:48Either way.
30:49I don't know which one it is.
30:51All right, honey, you want to be stirring that up?
30:53Yes.
30:53Now, these are sauteed onions and celery.
30:57Okay.
30:58Yeah.
30:59You know, they can knock me down, but I will get back up.
31:02You know, God takes great care of me.
31:05He doesn't miss a day blessing me, Laura.
31:08He really doesn't.
31:09Well, tell me, look at you in here in my kitchen.
31:11I know.
31:11Here we are.
31:12What is this that we poured in here?
31:13All right, that's chicken stock.
31:15Oh, okay.
31:15So let me tell y'all about this.
31:17And I like mine juicy.
31:20Yeah.
31:20Well, who wants a dry stuffing?
31:22I can't stand it, but some people do.
31:24Really?
31:24Yes.
31:25That sounds bad news.
31:26This is orange juice.
31:28Okay.
31:29And in our cranberry sauce.
31:31So you just have whole cranberries in here?
31:33Yes.
31:33What's in there?
31:34Yes.
31:34Whole, fresh cranberries.
31:36You hear them popping?
31:37Yeah.
31:37I love to hear them pop.
31:39Yeah, they're cooking.
31:40That's the sound.
31:41And we've got brown sugar, white sugar in there.
31:44We're going to do something with this orange peel.
31:46Orange peel.
31:47And that's going to make it so incredibly good.
31:50Oh, that sounds delicious.
31:51And I'm going to use a little mace.
31:55Okay.
31:55I've never used mace for anything in my life.
31:58We're putting it in your cranberry sauce.
32:00Well, here.
32:00Take this home with you and find something to do.
32:03I'm going to take home Paula's mace.
32:06Don't worry about it.
32:07All right.
32:07I can't find my little measuring spoon I had out somewhere.
32:10Uh-oh.
32:12We know anybody who lives around here?
32:13Here we go.
32:14Is this it?
32:14That was it.
32:15I found it.
32:16We did it.
32:18It's the teamwork here.
32:19I hope you know how much people out there absolutely love you.
32:22Because you have been in our living rooms for like my entire childhood growing up.
32:27I love you.
32:29You're so generous with your time.
32:30And before we lose what we got going on here, you did one of my favorite, favorite foods on the planet.
32:37I know it.
32:38Collard greens.
32:38Yeah.
32:39If you're from the south, you know about collard greens.
32:41And I told you, Paula, my uncle Durwood used to make it.
32:45I know it.
32:45And listen, don't think I'm nervous.
32:48You're got a competition on your hand.
32:50I'm nervous.
32:51What do we have going on in your collard greens?
32:53How do you make them?
32:54Oh, my gosh.
32:57Well, I start with ham hocks.
32:58Yep.
32:59That's the way you got to do it.
33:00Uh-huh.
33:01And you want smoked ham hocks.
33:03Okay.
33:04Put some onion in it.
33:05Oh, Lord.
33:06I'd have to pull out my cookbook.
33:08Oh, my gosh.
33:09Because I can't remember everything.
33:11Well, they look good.
33:12But I think that's for you, honey.
33:14I'm going to try this.
33:15If I can find the fours.
33:17Well, they're right here.
33:17Where?
33:18Oh.
33:20But now, don't burn your mouth.
33:22Do you like hot sauce?
33:23I do like hot sauce.
33:24Should we put?
33:25I like hot sauce.
33:25I like vinegar on my collard.
33:27Ooh.
33:27Okay.
33:28Well, I will introduce you to the best, most incredible hot sauce you've ever had.
33:36The best part of this is we're actually in Paula's kitchen.
33:40Yes.
33:40She's actually going in her refrigerator to get me hot sauce right now for these collards.
33:45This is the best hot sauce.
33:47Let me see.
33:47What do we have here?
33:49It's my hot sauce.
33:50And I worked.
33:50I went to.
33:51She's right here.
33:52I went to Norland's to get this formula.
33:55Oh, really?
33:56Yes.
33:57Okay.
33:57Because I knew exactly what I wanted.
34:00We hadn't finished our stuff here, y'all.
34:02We haven't.
34:02Oh, but not to worry.
34:06I got you sidetracked.
34:08All right.
34:08I've got vinegar in there, but I couldn't find it.
34:10That's all right.
34:10I'm going to use this hot sauce.
34:11I'm going to let these cool down a little bit.
34:13All right.
34:13So are we putting this stuffing in here?
34:16Yes, but we got to finish this.
34:18Oh, we put all of this in.
34:20Yes.
34:20I mean, I like it juicy.
34:22You sure do.
34:23And I made, let me see if I can touch this.
34:25It's a little loose, but that's all right.
34:27I think it's going to firm right up.
34:28Oh, oh, oh, it will.
34:29Okay.
34:29Because look at here.
34:30I trust you.
34:31That's the finished product.
34:32Hold on.
34:33That's the finished product.
34:33Should I pour this in?
34:35We got to do a little bit of a workout here today, Paula.
34:37Yeah, yeah.
34:38Well, you can do it.
34:40Do y'all know out there that she is a pastry chef?
34:45That's true.
34:45A certified pastry chef.
34:48That's why I moved to New York.
34:49A lot of people don't know that about me.
34:50I moved to New York to go to culinary school, Paula.
34:53And my husband, Eric, will tell you all the time that it was a bait and switch.
34:57He says, he claims that I lured him in with all the cakes and now I don't bake him any cakes.
35:04But I don't know about that.
35:06Well, listen, Eric and Michael is going to have to get, you can just sit that back there.
35:10Eric and Michael are going to have to get together when we are together.
35:14They complain about us, apparently.
35:15Well, Michael said I was very unfair when I was eyeballing him with a caramel cake about 20 layers.
35:26That will do it.
35:28Or this coconut cake, which you said is the worst-looking coconut cake.
35:32It is the ugliest coconut cake I've ever made.
35:35I think it looks great.
35:36Well, hopefully you'll have some.
35:38Okay.
35:39Well, first of all, I've got to taste the collards.
35:40Taste those collards.
35:40Taste the collards.
35:41And there's your cornbread dressing.
35:44So you see how I like it, y'all.
35:46I like it.
35:47This is so good.
35:49Very moist.
35:52See, collards, for people who don't know, are really hard, but you have to cook them forever, right?
35:59You cook collards for a day or so.
36:01Well, it can take a while.
36:02It depends on the leaves.
36:04Let me see.
36:05Mmm.
36:06Oh, you see, you can taste the cornbread in there.
36:09Uh-huh.
36:10That's the best part.
36:11That's so good.
36:12Isn't it good?
36:12Oh, my gosh.
36:13And you know what?
36:14It is.
36:14It firmed up.
36:15Oh, yeah.
36:16It is so moist.
36:17So this Thanksgiving, in addition to a turkey, a ham, whatever you might have going on,
36:23Paula Deen has your cornbread stuffing.
36:27We've got your collard greens, and we've got your, do we call this cranberry sauce?
36:31Because it's actually sauce.
36:32Cranberry sauce.
36:33Cranberry sauce.
36:34You want to serve this with your turkey and your cornbread dressing.
36:39And this is listed, I think it was in my very first cookbook.
36:43Oh, wow.
36:44And my grandma taught me how to make it.
36:46Oh, here she goes.
36:48Good.
36:48Very good.
36:49Let me see.
36:49Do we think this is cool enough?
36:51I'm using a measuring spoon.
36:53That's because I don't know where the other spoons are.
36:56We've moved things around a little bit.
36:58Oh, yeah.
36:58Because the tart of the cranberry, that's beautiful.
37:01I need to put some more sugar in it.
37:03No, no.
37:04It's sweet.
37:04It's sweet.
37:05Okay.
37:05Okay.
37:05Look, she's taking it right out of there.
37:08That's not too hot.
