of 16 after being spotted in a beauty pageant. her star officially launched just a few years later after a spirited performance opposite gene kelly and donald o'connor in "singin' in the rain." >> they locked me in a big old studio and for three months i had five different teachers one for tap, ballet, jazz, modern and then i would work, work, work until i would fall apart. ♪ tammy, tammy, tammy >> reporter: other notable roles followed including 1957 "tammy and the bachelor" which resulted in her number one hit song "tammy." she played opposite gregory peck in "how the west was won" and performance in "unsinkable molly brown" earned her an oscar nomination. ♪ i'm going to learn to read and write ♪ beloved on screen at times her life offscreen overshadowed her success. she had two children with her first husband.

producer todd fisher and actress and author carrie fisher who died one day before her mother. in 1959 the marriage ended in a highly publicized divorce when fisher left reynolds to marry her close friend, elizabeth taylor. reynolds was able to joke about the marriage years later. >> i was a girl scout. i was a simple little girl and he fell madly in love with elizabe elizabeth. now i understand. you know, so many years later and it's in the past. >> reporter: her second and third marriages also ended in divorce, each time causing reynolds financial pain. however, she had been quietly collecting hollywood memorabilia over the years that would prove to be a wise investment. in 2011, reynolds sold marilyn monroe's white subway dress in an auction for $4.6 million. she also never quit performing, though she stepped away from film for most of her career, she continued to entertain on

broadway stages and in las vegas nightclubs. in addition, reynolds had several tv roles over the years notably playing liberace's mother in the 2013 tv movie "behind the candleabra." her wide array of work was recognized in 2015 when the screen actors guild recognized her with a lifetime achievement award. reynolds said she loved every minute she spent in show business in her biography called "unsinkable." she credited the love she had for her friends and family for her personal and professional rezilancy. >> i paid 20,000 bucks for that sucker. >> reporter: that spark and sense of humor along with her talent that reynolds will be remembered for. >> i love you. good night, everybody. thank you. >> and fitting it seems to read from her last facebook post. thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. i'm thankful for your thoughts

and prayers that are now guiding her to the next stop. right now seems like some sort of celebrity express elevator to heaven, don and poppy. >> what a year it has been. let's discuss this with deputy editor of "people" magazine. another celebrity death, george michael. also with us nischelle turner and cnn contributor. let me begin with you and put up the statement from debbie reynolds' son and carrie's brother, todd fisher. my mother passed away a short time ago and she spoke to me this morning and said she missed carrie. she's with carrie now. is it possible to die from a broken heart? >> you know, i think it is. i think it is. we've seen situations like this happen before. whether it was, you know, a husband and wife that may have been together for a very long time and one of them passes and then, you know, a few hours later or the next day, the other

one does because they say they couldn't live without one another. i have been saying this all morning. but i think it's worth repeating. these two earned their relationship. they earned each other. you know, they were estranged. they had a lot of issues throughout their lives. but they earned their way back to really loving each other. in the hour that i was waiting to come back on with you guys, i watched one of the video clips from "bright lights" the documentary that was made about the two of them that will debut in march. it was just showing carrie cooking for her mother and walking the food over next door because they lived right next door to each other separated by a hill. and she walked in and debbie reynolds was sitting on the floor talking on the cell phone and she's joking with her and getting on her because she's like that cell phone was from the '90s. get a new one. it was just really special and great to watch. it really was beautiful. >> carrie also said that debbie,

her mom would call and say, hi, this is debbie, your mother. she said, i know who you are. speaking of their relationship. i want to put this up. this is debbie reynolds her last tweet when she said, thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. i am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next step. love carrie's mother. they were really close as mother and daughter. >> oh, yeah. this is one of the great mother/daughter relationships of hollywood. they were incredibly close. they had, as we were just talking about. a fractious relationship at times. it wasn't easy. they both had humor and insight about it. not easy having a movie star for a mother. not easy having a really brilliant, creative daughter sometimes. they worked it out over time. i spoke to carrie fisher this spring when she was promoting the documentary that will air on hbo. this was sort of the foundational relationship of her life. this was the defining

relationship. and they were very different women. very different. and debbie was hollywood studio, you know, mgm kind of star. she had addiction and the sort of old hollywood polish and carrie was very direct survivor. >> underneath that, i think they were very much alike. >> they were both very tough. that was the quality they shared. >> let's listen to what debbie reynolds said to oprah not long ago, back in 2011, about their strained relationship at times. >> it's very hard when your child doesn't want to talk to you. when you want to talk to them and you want to touch them and hold themtop w. she didn't talk to me for probably ten years. that was the most difficult time of all. >> nischelle, i'm struck by how honest about struggle both of these stars were. >> thank goodness.

>> they didn't cover up the tough stuff. >> both of these ladies had a lot of moxie. they were both made of some good stuff and i think that j.d. spoke to it really, really well when he said, you know, they were very different. and i think probably a lot of their struggle did come from the fact that debbie reynolds was, she was always the perky one in the movie. she was the light, the sunshine, this blonde, golden, hollywood it girl. and along comes carrie who is battling a lot of internal issues. bipolar disorder and alcoholism and she lived out loud that way. the two of them being mother and daughter. being in the same industry, which they called the family business, show business. and kind of going the same path, of course, there's going to be friction in that space. but i do think that the narrative of reconciliation and love and at the end of the day an unseparabble and unspeaken b

is something we should all think about. it made me think over the last 24 hours about the two of them. >> growing up in the spotlight is very difficult as we see with child stars. but when you have a famous mother, that adds another layer on top of it. here's carrie fisher talking about it. >> my mother would get up in the morning as my mother and then she would go into this big closet she had. and you'd go in on this end and there would be the shirts and shoes and maybe some slacks and you'd turn left and it's skirts and dresses. and out the other end probably night gowns and robes. she'd go in on this end as my mom and she'd come out the other end as debbie reynolds. it was like a car wash for celebrities. >> it shows you the reality, you know, is often different. >> the thing that made carrie

fisher brilliant was that she had real insight into what it was like to grow up with -- movie stars are narcissists. they are about themselves for a lot of their life. and that's not easy. and debbie was devoted to carrie. but it wasn't necessarily an easy relationship. and it's hard as a child to not have a parent who can suck the air out of the room having that kind of charisma and energy and beauty. she had the intellectual insight and humor to give us some insight into that and to kind of find a way to use that. to tell you the truth, what they were both brilliant about is the fact that they were so show business that they used everything. they used that as material and they were able to promote that in a way that was very appealing. >> as nischelle said, they brought their whole severals. we can't imagine what your newsrooms are like this week. you have george michael, carrie

fisher, debbie reynolds. the year in celebrity deaths. alan thicke, prince, mohammad a ali, florence henderson. >> it's crazy. i can't remember a situation like this over this holiday. it's unbelievable. >> guys, thank you very much. nischelle, always appreciate the insight from both of you. >> i don't want to see you guys tomorrow. i don't want to see you tomorrow. >> don't come back, thank you. no reason to come back, we hope. thank you, we really appreciate it. need to get to some breaking news now. this is coming out of russia. russia president vladimir putin announcing a cease-fire between inrebel opposition. the cease-fire goes into effect add midnight in syria. measures to control the cease-fire and a declaration to enter into peace talks have also been agreed upon. we're following this story very closely for you. we' we'll bring you know new developments as we get.

israel prime minister and secretary of state john kerry squared off over these peaspeec. kerry blasting benjamin netanyahu accusing him of undermining a two-state solution. netanyahu firing back saying kerry was paying lip service. oren liebermann is live with more. >> benjamin netanyahu spoke for quite a while in english that statement directed at john kerry and president barack obama. he said and he has said that settlements are not the that we just saw at the security council. how low, how bad, how strained can this relationship get between netanyahu and kerry in its final weeks. >> friends need to tell each other the hard truths. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry issuing a stern warning that a two-state solution is now in jeopardy. >> the two-state solution is the only way to achieve a just and

lasting peace between israelis and palestinians. >> reporter: kerry blasting israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu accusing him of undermining peace efforts. >> the israeli prime minister publicly supports a two-state solution. but his current coalition is the most right wing in israeli history with an agenda driven by the most extreme elements. >> reporter: netanyahu firing back calling the speech a disappointment and a bias attack that paid lip service to terrorist attacks to palestinians. >> palestinians do not need to be lectured of the importance of peace by foreign leaders. >> reporter: netanyahu accusing the u.s. of orchestrating friday's vote condemning israeli settlements in the west bank and jerusalem. >> we have it on uncontestable evidence that the united states organized, advanced and brought this resolution. >> reporter: kerry vehemently defending the obama

administration's to veto the u.n. resolution. >> no american administration has done more for israel's security than barack obama's. we cannot properly defend and protect israel if we allow a viable two-state solution to be destroyed before our own eyes. >> reporter: president-elect donald trump weighing in on kerry's speech from florida. >> we have to have peace. i think it set us back, but we're going to see what happens after january 20th, right? >> netanyahu says he'll work with president-elect donald trump to try to repeal the security council resolution and the damage it has done. netanyahu urged president barack obama not to make any more nuvs on the peace process. might not be the u.s. he is concerned at this point but other countries that may try something in the final days of the obama administration. >> thank you very much. the israeli government says it is looking forward to working with president-elect trump. netanyahu tweeting exactly that yesterday.

the secretary of state john kerry says a two-state solution in the middle east is in serious jeopardy due to israeli settlements in east jerusalem and the west bank. u.s./israeli relations have hit rock bottom over the path to peace. we'll discuss now with the spokesman benjamin netanyahu and that's david keys and he joins us now. david, thank you. i appreciate your time this morning. john kerry said that you're essentially building on what would become a palestinian state, which means building settlements. tears down the two-state solution. is israel still committed to a two-state solution? >> the prime minister remains absolutely committed to a solution of two states for two peoples. jews living in the west bank, what was so disappointing about secretary kerry's speech it did not deal with the core conflict of why this conflict continues to rage. that has precisely nuthing to do with jews in the west bank and everything to do with the palestinian leadership continued

refusal to recognize a jewish state. israel's prime minister has called on president abbas to meet hundreds of times for direct peace talks. he even invited him to speak in the knesset. president abbas said no to recognizing israel as a jewish state and no to direct relations and no to condemning the hate speech that is a daily occurrence on palestinian media. instead of focusing on the actual barriers to peace, this has basically done a bait and switch where people think -- >> we have a problem with our satellite there. can we get david keyes back? he's back. so, mr. keyes, i think you got the last part of your statement out. to that, talking about israel. your education minister said absolutely no to a palestinian state. your justice minister called a palestinian state hamas stan and

opposing a palestinian state. how do you intend to pursue peace with that kind of a government? >> well, because in this government, even though there is a diversity of voices, the prime minister is called the prime minister for a reason. he supports two states for two peoples. and the vast majority of israelis earn for an end to this conflict. i think if the palestinians wanted a state, they could have had it a long time ago. every time they were offered a state as happened in 1947 and 1937, ten years before and 2000 and 2008. every time they were offered, they said no. and the reason is simple. because the conflict is not about the creation of a palestinian state. it's about the existence of a jewish state. and i can quote palestinian minister saying precisely that, as well. and i can tick down the list who said we will never accept two states for two peoples. to president abbas who said we will never accept a jewish state

to on and on down the list. actually said slit the throat of every israeli wherever you find them. that is the real barrier to peace. not a democratic and liberal israel that has had its hand extended to peace. >> abbas says peace negotiations can begin as soon as the building stops. is that enough reason to stop the building? >> well, the building actually was stopped by prime minister netanyahu and president abbas didn't take that too seriously. and that's because the issue isn't actually the settlements or the presence of jews. which actually links back to this outrageous u.n. security council resolution which has the audacity to call the western wall occupied territory and a good question for you to ask administration officials is will they veto any future resolution at the security council dealing with israel because we know this was put -- >> you are the only nation in the world that supports that view. i want to play this. this is john kerry yesterday

speaking of a "new york times" headline from a republican president back in 1987. listen to this. >> let me read you the lead paragraph from a "new york times" story dated december 23rd. i quote. with the united states the security council adopted a resolution today strongly deploring israel's handling of the disturbances in the occupied territories. that story was not written last week. it was written december 23rd, 1987. >> so, secretary kerry has said that the obama administration has been very supportive of israel. you heard the headline there. it could have been written today. the question is, all this anger and bluster and posturing, is it a deflection that israel does not support, no longer supports a two-state solution? >> it's absolutely not a deflection and the prime minister continues to support two states for two peoples. that headline could have been

written decades ago, as it was. but two wrongs don't make a right. what could have been two decades ago the palestinian rejection of any jewish state. all you have to do is turn on palestinian television and look at palestinian maps. look at the fact that the palestinian leadership is actually paying anyone who murders an israeli a monthly salary to know what is truly the barrier to peace here. so, the administration should be asked in no uncertain terms. will they veto any certain resolutions against israel at the united nations. the answer to that should be an unequivocal yes, they should veto it. friends don't take friends to the security council. we could have a disagreement about that. but let us focus on the core issues so that these two parties israelis and palestinians could come together and forge a lasting peace based off mutual recognition so that everyone in this region can have a future of hope and a future of peace. we deserve no less than that. >> i don't mean to cut you off. we have a short time left. what i want to ask you. when the incoming president has

expressed his full support for israel and, again, he is putting it out on twitter. my question is, when was the last time the current president and benjamin netanyahu spoke? >> i don't have the precise minute of their last conversation but they have spoken many times over the years. they met many times over the year. >> but recently? >> that doesn't mean that we have to agree on everything. we've been in touch with the current administration and the incoming administration as is only natural. but it's very disappointing to see this departure from u.s. policy and this abandment of israel at the u.n. the highlighting of what amounts to issues to peace. peace can be forged when at long last the palestinians recognize our very right to exist and no longer call tel aviv a settlement. let us focus on the issues that unite so we can forge a lasting peace. >> does israel support in the west bank, gaza and east jerusalem that has equal sovereign to israel, mr. keyes?

>> these are the final status issues which need to be worked out between the parties. i can't negotiate right now live on cnn. that's for president abbas and prime minister netanyahu to sit down and work out all these difficult issues. you can't work out difficult issue physical the other party won't even sit down with you. ramallah is a few minutes away from here. i would much rather be there right now negotiating peace with a palestinian leader than talking to you, no offense. but the palestinian leadership has said no to literally hundreds of calls. this rejectism -- i understand that. they have said a lot of things. when the building did stop, it didn't bring them to the table. when israel took out every single settlement from gaza it didn't take them to the table. that is because that is not the issue. i hope we can find common ground in the near future. >> david keyes, we're out of time. thank you very much. i appreciate your time. >> thank you very much. coming up in our next hour a reaction from the palestinian

authority. >> we'll have that reaction ahead. also, the u.s. could announce as early, we're learning as today, russia's punishment for hacking into the u.s. election process. but the president-elect says, we should go on with our lives. move ahead. we're past this. we'll discuss what that means and what happens next. you can't predict the market. but through good times and bad... ...at t. rowe price... ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

welcome back to "new day." the president-elect taking credit for keeping thousands of jobs in the u.s. and downplaying potential sanctions over russia's interference. telling reporters everyone should get on with their lives. scott mcclellan in washington with more. good morning, scott. >> seems like president-elect trump and president obama are both ready to move on, as well, after days of taking subtle and less subtle jabs at one another. the two spoke by phone yesterday afternoon and seemed to smooth things over. trump is even now brushing off obama's dig that he would have won in an election matchup. trump told reporters yesterday that no one is ever really going to know. >> he called me. we had a very, very good talk

about generally about things. >> reporter: president-elect donald trump addressing reporters outside his mar-a-lago estate walking back an earlier tweet of accusing psident obama of transitional road blocks. >> i'm getting elong very well with him other than a couple statements i responded to. we talked about it and smiled about it. >> reporter: trump distancing himself from the obama administration and senators who want to punish russia for their alleged meddling in the u.s. election. >> i think we ought to get on with our lives. >> reporter: trump taking credit, once again, for a previously announced commitment by a japanese bank to bring back and create jobs in the u.s. through investments in sprint and a florida startup. >> i spoke with the head person and because of me they're doing 5,000 jobs in this country. >> reporter: trump also on defense on how he'll deal with potential conflicts of interest with his business. >> you people are making that a big deal. it is actually a very simple situation. not a big deal. and we'll be having a press

conference some time in early january. >> reporter: and dissolving his foundation that's currently under investigation. >> i have a foundation that has given millions and millions of dollars to people over the years. and it's been, you know, very well thought of and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: the president-elect stood side by side with controversial boxing promoter don king. the former boxing tycoon weighing in on the strained relations with israel. >> it is about peace. peace in the middle east. >> and yesterday we know that trump himself met with top hospital officials to discuss how the va should be run. the transition official says that trump is looking at a public/private option that would allow veterans to use the va hospitals and also access the private system, as well. in line with what he was proposing on the campaign trail. we'll find out who trump will ultimately name as his secretary of veteran affairs. >> we appreciate it.

let's discuss all of it with jackie kucinich and senior editor of "the atlantic" ron brownstein. guys, thanks for being with me. jackie, let me begin with you. this shouldn't surprise many people that in the span of three or four hours trump tweeted that the transition is not going smoothly and then told the reporter, what do you mean? of course it is going smoothly. we're great. he tweeted that reince priebus and rnc was terrible and then made reince priebus his chief of staff. that happened. >> that was the example we were going to use. we saw a lot of this during the primary because he thought the rnc was out to get him and then reince priebus would call him and they would talk and it would be fine. a part of this is frankly theater. donald trump feels like he needs to save face. he doesn't like that obama has been sort of poking him. the comment president obama made the other day that he could have

defeated trump or he basically said that. i think really bothered donald trump. and, so, he feels there is kind of this push and this pull going on with him that, you know, while he wants to continue to have good relations during this transition, he also feels slighted and, as we know about donald trump, he is not going to not speak out when he feels slighted. >> this is one case, ron brownstein. you can sort of laugh or joke about it a little bit. it's another when he's not dealing with the sitting president. it's another when he's dealing with anned aversarial foreign government. >> one thing we have seen is that any kind of challenge, any kind of thing that he takes as a personal challenge, whether president obama saying i could have beaten him or the language that president obama used about turning inward and division at pearl harbor. he feels more often than not that he has to respond on twitter. >> how would he respond if duturte said about him what he said about obama.

basically saying you can go to hell. how would a trump respond? >> you could imagine how he would respond on twitter. the idea that he could be bai ed with a tweet as someone said seems to be the pattern so far. the question i found myself wondering particularly around some of the china tweets. what is the process for this? usually, a president of the united states every word that comes out of their mouth is at the end of the progress and particularly in foreign affairs. is there any filter between donald trump and the world through twitter, should there be and the answer seems to be no. unprecedented was spelled wrong in the tweet, it suggested not a lot of other eyes looking at it before it was released to the world. >> he may be tweeting from the account there in 20, 22 days. jackie, let me ask you about something else. you heard in the piece there that he is gold to hold this

press conference and talk about his business ties. he hasn't done that yet. he delayed the last one. and he says, basically in his own words, he says you guys, the reporters are the only ones that care about it. it's not a big deal. look at this polling. it shows a lot of americans care deeply about this. 67% of not just democrats, republicans, too, think he needs to choose between being a business man and being a president. when, if and how is he going to satisfy the american public with an answer on this? >> i mean, fingers crossed, he said he's going to have this press conference. but, frankly, short of releasing his tax returns, we still won't know exactly what donald trump is holding. we don't know a lot of information about where he's involved. and so far some of the solutions, quote/unquote, that have been floated still fall short. i'm giving it to his sons, whom

he speaks to every day have a direct line into the white house. still, you will see people approaching the sons as a way to get to donald trump. so, there really hasn't been a solid solution that would kind of -- that would really take care of a lot of the concerns that are out there. >> short of releasing his tax returns that i do not think will happen. how much is he risking, ron brownstein, you know, being in violation of the constitution when it comes to businesses in foreign countries and even the appearance of improprieties there? >> that is the hardest question. one that will spend a lot of time legally trying to resolve. what jackie is saying about the tax returns is true. there is also the other point that you had ethics officials from the bush and obama administrations. republicans and democrats saying really short of what the ultimate step of dissolving the business anything short of that will leave you with questions. and those questions, that option does not appear to be on the

table. this is something that we are going to be dealing with, i think, throughout the trump presidency. >> you are now at a time, you can't dissolve all these businesses in 22 days. it can't happen. >> you could begin a process. >> you could start. >> but there's no indication that process is heading our way. >> guys, thank you very much. we appreciate if. >> thanks, poppy. the obama administration looking to punish russia. what type of sanctions can we expect and how will russia fight back. next. at godaddy, our goal is to make you look awesome online.

the obama administration preparing to level sanctions against russia for meddling in the u.s. elections.

russian leaders are not taking the threats lightly and promising to hit back. want to discuss now with evan perez along with cnn contributor and senior editor at "the daily beast" michael weiss. what does that look like exactly? >> at this point, don, the most important part of this is that for the first time we're going to hear names of individuals that the obama administration believed should be punished for this disinformation campaign that involved not only the hacking of the american party organizations but then going beyond that which is a lot of nations hack. we hack. everybody hacks. what was different about the russian operation was a dissemination of that information using wikileaks and other websites to try to harm the campaign of hillary clinton. that's the view of the u.s. intelligence community. for the first time we're going to hear names and see sanctions and we're going to see all the

diplomatic moves that the obama administration believes is response. >> michael, i'll ask you the same question. what does it like look and does it have any teeth at this point? >> there is an economic thaw on the horizon between rusha and the world. a the russian state oil company sanctions compliant because sanctions have nothing to do at the moment with buying and selling equity in russian energy enterprises. i think europe is not going to stand by and exert pressure on the united states not to do anything that is going to hinder foreign direct investment. what the u.s. could do and what people like myself have been advocating it should do in response is, look, the elite that the power vertical in the government keeps its money abroad. vladimir putin according to the first sanctions that they

invented for crimea this is according to the u.s. treasury. why not disclose this information? the bank accounts and the chas l chalets and chateaux being kept. one thing they can do in response to the hackers. the the directors of the military intelligence service and the two agencies accused of perpetrating these hacks independently of one another. if they are put on a sanctions list then this is the u.s. basically declaring war against russia's intelligence service. >> i have to ask you this because the response was heated from the ministry of foreign affairs and put up what they said. if washington really does take new hostile steps, they will be answered. any action against russian diplomatic missions in the u.s. will bounce back on u.s. diplomats in russia. frankly, we are tired about the lies of russian hackers and misinformation by the obama administration aimed at providing an excuse for its own failure. the question is, i mean, this

could get pretty bad. >> yeah, but i mean, the russians have been very cheeky about this. gave an interview to christiane amanpour a few months ago on this network saying we never denied it, but they never proved it. forcing the united states to come out with evidence that this happened. what kind of evidence could that entail. signal intercepts the kind of stuff that the nsa does or human intelligence. meaning the cia has spies in moscow because they have agents, we cannot compromise that kind of sourcing. here's all the evidence. >> you put it in the right perspective. the u.s. government, not just the russian -- >> every intelligence agency, there is a consensus on this. >> should the president have acted sooner? >> yeah, i think he should have. when he gave that press conference a couple weeks ago back in september i met mr. putin and said you have to cut it out with the hacking of my country.

this is a guy who has been accused of ordering the radiation telling him to knock it off, please. >> evan, you want to respond. >> well, i think michael is right, the president made a big show saying he told putin to cut it out and frankly hasn't stopped the hacking. we know that even since the election, there have been additional afemttempts by the russians to break into democratic party officials' private e-mails. they're not done. what we know is going to continue happening, even under president trump administration is that the russian spy services are not going to quit doing this kind of stuff. i think michael is right that some of this stuff doesn't have a lot of teeth, it is intended to be proposal. one thing we don't want is for us to have a wider cyberwar with the russians. we have a lot more to lose in that kind of engagement with the russians and the russians do,

frankly. >> for the interest of time, we know that donald trump has reacted. everyone should move on. there is not one -- that's not exactly what republicans in congress are saying. >> that's not what republicans want. >> well, the problem is that i think the president-elect wants to move on, but there are members of congress, including lindsey graham and john mccain that are not going to let this go. if he tries to remove sanctions, i think you're going to see some push back from republicans and from democrats in congress and i think that's going to be a major part of the fight that we'll see between his white house and the congress. >> it's got to be the last part. thank you very much. i appreciate that. poppy? coming up, our presidential historian douglas brinkley getting some face time with the president-elect. what did they discuss? he will tell us when he joins us ahead on "new day."

2016 has been an unforgettable, and an unprecedented year in politics. if you haven't noticed. our political correspondent, chief political correspondent dana bash has a look back at the

top ten moments of this presidential election. >> controversial. unprecedented, and unexpected. 2016 was an election year for the ages. with an ending meant to disrupt washington, and that it did. the fight for the gop presidential nomination hit new lows in 2016 as republicans scrambled to beat front-runner donald trump at his own game. >> you know what they say about men with small hands. you can't trust them. you can't trust them. you can't trust them. >> the insults got under trump's skin. >> he referred to my hands. therefore something else must be small. i guarantee you there's no problem. i guarantee. >> but nothing could knock the billionaire from the top spot. >> all right, everybody -- >> in the remarkable display of

gop hesitation and consternation about donald trump, house speaker paul ryan, the top republican in government, refused to endorse the presumptive gop presidential nominee. >> well, to be perfectly candid with you, jake, i'm just not ready to do that at this point. i'm not there right now. >> then, touche, trump parroted ryan's language in an interview with "the washington post." >> i like paul, but these are horrible times for our country. we need very strong leadership. we need very, very strong leadership. and i'm just not quite there yet. >> ryan did eventually offer trump a tepid endorsement, but the party's discomfort with their unconventional nominee persisted through election day. on the democratic side there was hillary clinton's rhetorical fumble about trump voters. >> you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. right? the racist, sexist, homophobic,

xenophobic, islamaphobic, you name it. >> she issued an apology, but trump and his supporters embraced the moniker. >> remember what hillary clinton said, basket of deplorables. >> months of intraparty fighting culminated in two historic conventions. each party tried to repair their rift before the general election. in cleveland, a public display of gop disunity. trump's former rival, senator ted cruz, was invited to speak, but refused to endorse the nominee. >> stand and speak and vote for your conscience. >> reporter: trump, ever the showman, stole cruz's thunder, appearing in the family box in the middle of the speech. and in philly it was an unknown couple, khizr khans who took on trump. >> let me ask you, have you even read the united states constitution.

i will gladly lend you my copy. >> trump took the bait, going after the gold star family in interviews and on twitter and handing hillary a post-convention lead. for president obama, 2016 was personal. >> the donald is not really a plan guy. he's not really a fast guy either. >> obama eviscerated trump on the campaign trail and trump hit back. >> he is the founder of isis. he's the founder of isis. >> but after years of stoking conspiracies about president obama's birthplace, trump reversed course for the sake of his own presidential run. >> president barack obama was born in the united states. period. >> then there were the debates. the candidates' performances in

three face-to-face fights were must-see tv for voters. >> hello. >> clinton used the match-ups to lure trump off message. >> he called this woman miss piggy. then he called her miss house keeping because she was latina. donald, shy has a name. >> where did you find -- >> her name is alicia machado. >> trump successfully painted clinton as more of the same, part of the problem in washington, which it turns out clearly resonated. >> she's been doing this for 30 years and why hasn't she made the agreements better? >> the monster political storm rocking donald trump's campaign. >> october brought an unwelcome surprise for the trump campaign. and instantly infamous caught on tape moment from a 2005 "access hollywood" appearance where the republican nominee is heard making extremely lewd comments about women. >> when you're a star they let you do it. you can do anything. >> whatever you want. >> those words led to a string of accusations from women saying

that trump had sexually assaulted them. with only weeks until the election, it seemed like the contest might be over. but in a stunning move, fbi director james comey broke historical precedent by taking action eleven days before the election. and handed the clinton campaign their own october surprise. comey had more power than usual, since attorney general loretta lynch was compromised after bill clinton boarded her plane during the investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails. comey decided not to bring charges against clinton in june. but then he sent a letter to congress a week and a half before the election, saying the fbi was looking into additional e-mails discovered on anthony weiner's home computer. >> it is incumbent upon the fbi to tell us what they're talking about. >> he cleared clinton again before november 8th. but her team points directly to his actions as a key reason for her loss. >> i accept your nomination for

president of the united states! >> after trying in 2008, hillary clinton did make history in 2016. becoming the first female presidential nominee of a major political party. still her heartbreak was palpable when she spoke about falling short of the historic benchmark she failed to reach. >> i know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but some day, someone will, and hopefully sooner than we might think right now. >> for the political world, 2016 will be remembered with one head spinning day, november 8th. >> cnn can report that hillary clinton has called donald trump to concede the race. she has called donald trump to say that she will not be president. >> even donald trump himself appeared surprised. >> as i've said from the beginning, ours was not a

campaign, but rather, an incredible and great movement. >> voters certainly called for change in 2016. the test for 2017 is whether donald trump, a first-time politician and unconventional candidate and president-elect can deliver his promise to fix washington. >> makes you wonder what's ahead in 2017. my goodness. >> what a year. all right we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. >> the two-state solution is in serious jeopardy. >> israelis do not need to be lectured by foreign leaders. >> we were treated very, very unfairly. >> friends need to tell each other the hard truths. >> israel looks forward to working with president-elect trump. >> trump and obama seemed to smooth things over. >> we talked about it and smiled about it. >> we're going to hit putin for interfering in our
