0:13.5 | republican side that continue to want to find common ground we emphasize the conflict and |
0:18.4 | controversy cells and i think it's a problem because most most Americans look at Washington and see something that's broken. |
0:23.2 | Why don't we look for ways that we celebrate what this country is capable of doing? |
0:27.6 | It's amazing what you can do when you get off social media and you start talking, communicating with one another because there is common ground. |
0:34.4 | With Fox News chief political anchor, Brett Bear. |
0:39.2 | In tonight's Common Ground segment, we're going to talk about the opioid crisis. |
