wake up where americans find out who the president berated and insulted which group, which individual, whoever they be when we wake up in the morning. so i think he did fine today, but i think he should do well to reflect that we want to go back to the imagination of a country that can be where we re not divided, where we are united, where we work together, where we seek the common good and not spend so much time insulting each other and berating each other which he s done far toorch. and that s what americans want i believe on thanksgiving. well, comprehensively and very nicely said, brent, indeed. it is still the world s best country. there are few wrinkles. par s, people dread politics being brought to the table. according to the polling 58% of you of all of us, in fact. while only 31% of the americans say they are eager to discuss
mar-a-lago, but he has made sure to let americans know at home and abroad just what he thinks we should all be thankful for today. just a short time ago trump thanked them for their service but also took a moment to tout the economy. i told them our country is doing great, and you folks are fighting so hard and working so hard. and it s nice that you re working for something that s really starting to work. we ve cut back so much irregulation and the all the waste and all the abuse. and the stock market on friday hit the all-time high, the highest it s ever been, ever. joining me right now opinion commnist with the hill brent, paris s due nard and former campaign manager terry sullivan. good to see all-of a. i know all of you are hoping not to talk politics at the dinner
the ucla basketball players caught shoplifting in china. the president also questioning roger goodell over his handling of the national anthem protests. and there are two nfl games on before you are likely to sit down at the table at least this evening. is it likely inescapable? i mean who doesn t want to talk about football and inject it into the president s sentiments on this, terry? yeah, the thing that concerns me is the 31% who wants to talks about politics at thanksgiving. we re not defined by our leaders, by our politicians. we re defined by our citizens. that s what makes us great and unique. and that s the kind of thing i mean there s a reason why people hop on boats from the time of the first thanksgiving until now and flee to this
different from us, that we should do more listening. the divisiveness of politics these days and the problem is we don t take the time to listen. o on this day at the dinner table people will listen even though there might be some dissension? it s okay to have dissension, but it s important to listen and have understand so we can make america great again by first coming to the understanding what are the issues you re concerned about. how can i help you my friend, my brother, my sister, my family member. weegs listen to each other and talk about the important issues that unite us and not those that divide us. inevitably, those issues that do end up dividing us will be at the dinner table. and many have said the president seizes on the political issues, make it on twitter as he did yesterday. everything from really against lavar ball, it father of one of
politics together to a new poll. this year especially, though, isn t it inevitable, paris, that people are going to talk about politics? it just might be the main course of conversation. do you dread that or is that just the reality, embrace it? yeah, fred. happy thanksgiving. thank you for having me. it is the reality. but i think it s actually a good thing. when you look at all the issues that are going on in this country, i think the president was right to talk about the positives that we have, the lowest unemployment rate since the year 2000. when you look at the fact the stock market is rolling and the fact it could be and hopefully will be a middle class tax cut and tks cuts for the small businesses of this country, which are the real driving edge of this nation by chrishouse. when senator ted scott talked about the sunday dinners we should have around this country, where we should have dinner and talk to people that look
