square. >> happy 2018. >> all that life has to offer, thanks for being part of it. >> we love you all, happy new year. ♪ >> happy new year. i'm jesse waters with juan williams, dana perino and greg got felt, 5:00 in new york city and this is the five. a new year, fresh start, 2017 was a big year for the five and 2018 will be bigger. some questions we will answer through the hour. let's begin with richard, he wants to know what is your story of the year?

>> i was going to say moving to 9:00 pm and what a great idea that was but everything on the show turned out, we are back at 5:00 so i had to change it. i call this year the great disconnect, the difference between what people are feeling and how things are unfolding. a lot of people feeling emotional about every day being so different in the news so fast some people think it is the end of the world of his think it is the greatest thing ever but when you divorce the feeling from action it is a pretty good year. stock market is up, unemployment down, isis destroyed, a lot of good things happening. like a solid year. it is a solid part of the year versus this chaotic emotional sense people are dealing with. >> no one has any idea what is going on. what is your biggest story? >> the turning back of isis.

if you look at 2016 especially what was happening to young women in the middle east, raped, tortured, wholesale destruction in that area and with rules of engagement changing and other countries pitching in to help, isis not dead by any means but certainly without its territory anymore. the most consequential story of the year. >> i was going to go with the launch of the daily briefing. what do you think? >> no question the hashtag me too people has changed so much, really tumultuous time but people say to me they are living in crazy times, things are wild. like a roller coaster ride just to go through life, pick up the paper, some people tell me they

can't -- they want to listen to music. >> these voices in your head? >> donald trump's inauguration was huge, big change in terms of public attitudes on healthcare, obamacare is popular, those are big changes. >> the popularity of obamacare. what do you think? >> i would have said isis. i concur with my esteemed colleague. when i talk to people about politics and what is going on in the world they talk about such an important issue, i wish we heard more about this, such a tremendous turn around and the rules of engagement but besides that the economy too, in terms of job numbers and moving forward. >> can i throw in of the level?

the weather. huge storms. what happened in texas and houston in particular and miami, biscayne boulevard, what? >> a lot of shootings, don't have a lot of answers, question from steve, what would you like to achieve in 2018. what is left? >> i am almost tired of winning. we all thought, and overachiever. what what i like to see? probably a continuation of the fight against terror because isis has been decimated, but gains, al qaeda, other offshoots, and fighting the kind of take that mantle that isis

held pushing forward on the caliphate. >> curious about that. >> from my perspective if the president could deal with immigration, kids who were anxious, threatened by the idea that the aca could go away, the president set the deadline in march, ready for greg to lee by mika nixon goes to china. he is so hard line on immigration that if he is able to cut a deal his base is not going to say it is a bad deal, they might embrace, given a chance, donald trump is doing it. >> i was going to agree on immigration except i would like to see the wall built in 2018. >> not that lofty but supers of important and achievable in a

midterm election year and take something all across the administration effort, to ease the way for people to adopt children. foster care program, able to take care of them. the way to adoption is quite cluttered and there are regulations that could change, the federal government to help improve on that, it is way down, couples love to adopt children from all over the world but all these rules put in place and donald trump possibly working with the first lady could turn that around and it would be worthwhile. hillary clinton as secretary of state would have done something more in that realm but she never did and this is an opportunity to make a difference, very pro-life policy that could bring

joy to american families. >> fat kids, got a lot of fat kids, got to get those kids skinny. >> that you liked fat kids. >> i'm being sarcastic. i am in the world of kimberly. it is terror but they have to focus on the marriage of terror and technology. we have seen over the holidays what happened in atlanta when an airport goes dark, total panic. imagine that is happening in every city, don't know what he could do to tell us about, probably have to tell us what they are doing and a plan against the robots because they are coming. i'm on their side. >> question from lindy, what is the dumbest resolution you have ever made? let's start with juan. >> i was going to try to eat

less ice cream. >> i tried to ban all dessert and it lasted 3 months. what about you? >> i will call fake news on that. >> are you calling me a fat kid? >> i thought i wasn't going to eat salami but there was an epic fail the lasted 24 hours. >> i made the resolution here. greg said that is stupid, why would you do that? to drink less wine and not drink during the week. >> if you make a resolution and about it more. >> that was a really dumb resolution.

>> my resolution was last year, i tried to quit being so selfless. giving too much of myself to so many people it is time to think about greg got felt that i can't change being so selfless and willing to help other people. that is 99% of the population. >> what is the biggest weakness, i care too much. >> thank you for explaining my joke. >> some people are a little any pre-aided. what is the best year in your life and why? let's start with you. i joined the five. >> best year of my life, >> the year i met peter and

moved to england, the experience of being newly married and oversees the new puppy, we left the united kingdom and back to the states, decided to live in san diego, didn't have a car, had a puppy, had to do all these things if i looked at how adventurous that was i don't know if i would do it again. >> when you left the country also. >> you are kind of mean sometimes. >> the best year for sure, 2006, very fun, i get excited because he reminds me so much of them, really incredible. >> my favorite year was 1984

because we proved that book was just garbage. 1984 was fine. >> you get to be a certain age there are a lot of years, time goes faster. why does time go so fast? how did we get to new year's day? i thought it was easter the other day. somebody said to me this year, 2017 last year, they said to me as you get older, the day is a smaller percentage of your total life. >> i think i told you that. >> you didn't only. >> more behind you then in front of you so the fraction is smaller. when you are kid, 4 years old, a birthday is like an eternity of the night before christmas is 7 years but have a fraction it is nothing which i calculated one week at the age of 53 as

basically one day when you are 6. >> you're going to do this really quickly. if you assume the identity of another person for 2018, who would it be? assume that person's identity. >> my twin brother gunter. >> are we allowed to call him gunter? >> he is here when i am not. >> i don't know. i always wanted to be the ambassador to tanzania. >> play your cards right. >> in 20 years it would be great. >> i would like to be teresa may. >> now you are catching on. i could be in charge of all of that. i could be my own official for

real royal correspondent and could work strategically with the united states and donald trump. >> that is how you get it in. >> i want to have fun with it. carlos stanton just got traded to the yankees in the national league in 2017, now he is with the yankees and has a big home run hitter. going to be a big star in new york city. >> i know what your resolution is. no more guests. >> there is a selling it out. >> predictions for 2018 and more on the five. 1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave
