prepare to be amazed, mystified, and mesmerized by the biggest stories from the whole year in stories, sports, pop culture, and more. we'll cover it with our guests and comedian actors -- it's "all the best, all the worst: 2019."

welcome. i'm tom foreman, and this year really did feel like a wickedly deceptive magic show, full of misdirection and illusions and slight of hands. every time we thought we knew exactly where things stood, suddenly they changed and no where more than the place where we begin, the devilish world of hocus-pocus politics. 2019 was a blur. >> it's been a strange year. >> a year of epic struggle. >> i need a drink. >> starting off with the worst political story, the ukraine scandal or as president trump called it -- >> fake news. >> it's a hoax. >> it is a sorted tale of the

president pressuring ukrainians to investigate political rival joe biden, also pushing a debunked conspiracy theory that ukraine, not russia, was to blame for u.s. election meddling. >> we're here to find what we know and what we've heard. >> yet once impeachments got under way, one witness after another said the president and his team did exactly what they're accused of. >> everyone is in the loop. >> the republican response aside from rushing a hearing room, trying to physically stop the proceedings. >> president trump has truly been a victim of incredible bias. >> impeachment. >> some say his actions are bad but not impeachable, and that's one thing. >> a witch hunt. >> there are others who just say something to the effect of i am not listening, i am not listening, i am not listening.

>> i want no quid pro quo. quid pro quo. >> if i hear the term "quid pro quo" one more time. >> ready? get the cameras rolling. >> quid pro quo, quid pro quo, quid pro quo. >> either he broke the law or didn't break the law. >> worst use of thumbs, trump's torrent of tweets laced with foul language, bitter language, lies, and one truly disturbing photoshopped picture. >> quid pro quo. >> i kind of feel like i'd like to take him aside and say, hey, i've had experience with twitter. be careful. >> best trend for republicans. the way trump continues to pack the federal courts with conservatives. >> he is doing it in record

numbers. it's what he's promised, it's what he's achieving, and now it's what he's bragging about. >> worst shell game. the president's worst non-stop attempts at keeping his taxes private. >> can we all just agree? he's not releasing his taxes. he's not doing it. >> the best way to shake of terrorists, the killing of the isis leader in syria. >> the president is showing confidence, he made calls. the special forces to take down baghdadi put their lives at enormous risk, and we should all be grateful. >> worst way to shake up the markets, trump's flinging of tariffs at china. >> there's a very famous quote in "princess bride." i'd like to add an addendum. never get into a tariff-pissing

contest with china. >> worst getaway vacation. trump's visit to the demilitarized zone with north korean leader kim jong-un, which produced only a photo op which wasn't as cool as kim's white horse photos released in the beginning of the year. >> it's like crazy land right now. there are rules and laws being made up every second that none of us ever agreed on. >> it should be done pretty close to next year. >> best broken campaign promise as far as democrats are concerned. that wall trump pledged to construct, three years in, only a tiny fraction is finished. >> the fact of the matter, the thing is not being built. >> and mexico is not paying for any of it. >> we must keep government open. >> as evidenced by a huge funding fight between trump and congress, which no one really won.

>> in the very beginning of the year we had a government shutdown and people were not getting paid, for no reason. >> our investigation is complete. >> combine all that with the blistering fallout from the russia report, which did not condemn but also did not exonerate the president, a stampede of democratic candidates vying to challenge trump in 2020. >> my mailman is running for president, my plumber is running for president. my neighbor's dog might be running for president. >> every time i watch a debate, i'm like, who's this guy, never seen her before. >> as i'm sitting here right now, four more democrats have entered the race for president. i'm just letting you know. >> some of their calls for progressive reforms, gave republicans their best free shot. >> we're talking about socialism, folks.

one of my favorite moments this year is when president trump got up at the state of the union and he said -- >> america will never be a socialist country. >> that likely boosted trump's best numbers. roughly 90% of republicans approve of how he is doing his job. >> you know what? in "star wars," the lord had a lot of followers. >> trump's worst numbers? 50% of americans disapproved of him since day one. the polls show any number of democrats can beat him next fall. >> anyone who can get him to listen in a non-trump way is a person everyone will rally behind. >> i hope people will think long and hard before they do any

lever pulling or inking, whatever. >> quid pro quo. >> the single most ridiculous political idea of the year. >> when trump said he wanted to buy greenland, at first i thought he was stealing one of my jokes. >> so did greenland, and they rejected the idea flat out. >> greenland doesn't want to be part of it. leave them alone. >> we'll have a lot more on the big stories of year in just a little bit, but for right now, hold on tight. we're about to let the games begin. the decade in sports closed out with some truly historic finishes, especially for women who were playing harder than ever before. and -- >> come on, bro. >> you, me, badass, you don't want to be a part of this? >> we're on target to look at the new golden age of television. plus later -- hey, that's my car. >> "all the best, all the worst: 2019" will be right back.
