[video clip] miles to be here tonight for one simple reason, to tell you in person that this thanksgiving is a special thanksgiving. We are doing so well. Our country is the strongest economically it has ever been. We have the greatest economy anywhere in the world, so it is nice to know you are fighting for something doing well as opposed to something that was not doing well a number of years ago. Stockmarkets reached the highest level ever in the history of the exchanges, all 3. If you look, all 3. It is incredible, it is incredible what is happening. Days.

Throughout the rundown, and i want to start with nbcs political reporter glenn murray and Peter Alexander who covered the last Romney Campaign. Gentlemen, good morning. Mark, start with you. We know the call will happen. Do we know if mitt will announce . Well, what we do know is hes holding a Conference Call with some of his closest supporters and advisers from his past president ial campaign run. And the hunch is and jose this is not a certainty. The hunch is hell continue to pursue the president ial bid hes been hinting at for weeks now and but we dont know for certain. What we do know is this jose that the ground underneath mitt romneys feet has actually started to shift in the last few days.

The American People are tired of the obvious bias in the national media. Thats where the sense of a rigged election goes here. Our new poll numbers show a Larger National lead for Hillary Clinton but what about in the handful of swing states that will decide the election . Lets get right to the political team. Nbcs Hallie Jackson and Kelly Odonnell along with msnbc chief Legal Correspondent ari melber. Thank you all for being here. Hallie, i want to start with you. We spent yesterday trying to sort through all of these comments from donald trump and his surrogates and mike pence. Theyre not on the same page. Ive been talking to republicans who say, theyre concerned about the fact hes trying to set up this as a rigged election. Any sense theyll get on the same page today. A lot of the concern echoed in my conversations, kristen. I think people, especially in the republican side, members of the elected officials, people who support these folks say this is dangerous.

Don junior like an egg. Steve bannon is basically saying, russias not a witch hunt, russia is not a hoax, this investigation is real. President trump escalating his feud with north Korean Leader kim jong un. Comparing the size of his Nuclear Button with the dictator of north korea. A wild day on twitter for the president.

What we really ought to be focusing on is not that nonsensical tweet but this tiny sliver of an opening diplomatically. South korea and north korea have some communication for the first time in years at the same time that we see the president talk like this.
