country, it's because they have litter choice. and we forget that. we have plenty in this country. plarty to plenty for everybody. and i think we need to remember, thatn the rea we're great is because of this melting pot of immigrants and thi great cornucopia ofnfluences of cultures and traits and expertise that we call from all over theat world. really, to me, what makes america great. not just its military or itsca talism, although those things are also built by immigrants. >> padma lakshmi, as said, weu've been here many, many times. e so grateful to have you share your thoughts this morning. thank you. i should mention, the new season of "top chef," by the way, premieres on decber 6th. that's one of my favorite shows. i can't cook a thing. >> we need to do it. >> and padma's memoir, ove loss and what we ate" just came. ou thejust ahead this morning,
