>> announcer: this is the cbs "overnight news." welcome to the "overnight news." with the hole day -- holidays behind us and the new year upon us, the shift to the next big date on the calendar. presidenti inauguration of donad trump. john dickerson looked ahead at the year in politics with a panel of journalists and editors and discussed the impact of the incoming president and challenges facing the country. >> journalist michele norris, heads up race card project and aspen institute. jeffrey goldberg, editor-in-chief of the atlantic, mike cam gersen, columnist for "the washington post" and david from, senior editor at atlantic.

jeffrey, all take the assignment, start with you. >> what did i do wrong? >> in the new year we want to target you with this question. which is you are an assignment editor. you have to assign coverage for the year 2017. how do you deploy your forces? what's the story? >> the story is there is one overarchingly huge story. a very bigly story as michelle might say. the, the story its -- the story is the up ending of american politics. the story is of the outs coming in. the ins going out. the story is, trying to explain to the american people what has happened to their two main parties. and, the deeper story, also, i don't want to forget this, the deeper story is globalization and technological disruption and anxiety born of rapid change, rapid destablizing change. the fragility of institutions. all of that is there.

under the larger more immediate story which is how did donald trump become president of the united states? and what does it mean for not only the way america understands itself but the way the world understands america. i would just add one more point. which is that-- the rest of the world is watching with baded breath. because we, we are at a, hinge moment in history. since 1945, we have played a certain role in the world. it's not entirely clear that, after january 20th. we are going to play that same role. >> should make you an editor. michelle, what is your -- >> i think it is interesting end of the year. miriam webster told us they chose the word surreal as the word of the year for 2016. because the it describes so much of what we are seeing right now. i want to pick up on one of the things jeffrey said. about the technological disruption in the country we have assumed technology was a good thing. we embraced it.

assumed it was propelling us forward. and that it would, perhaps, even though it was displaying jobs would make for a better society, belter fl better flow of information. i think we will question that on a lot of levels, because the of what it has done to democracy, certainly what it has done to the level of american discourse. as journalists we have to learn how to operate in a world where there is no longer a common set of facts. people -- get their news in such a way that it usually affirms or confirms everything that they already believe. we have some one who is about to occupy the oval office, who its -- dismissing many of the publications that we work or have worked for. is trying to bypass us and go to people. as we try to explain the surreal university. we find ourselves in, all most a, a room of fun house mirrors. trying to figure how to describe what is going on. >> david? >> neo-fascist party may win the presidency of france this year.

democratic institutions in the country liberated are falling apart in hungary, poland, croatia. the european union issing kraing apart. the united states has a new president to be who has made it clear he is not going to be bound by traditional rules against corruption, against foreign influence, traditional rules against the president having his own private bodyguard, paid for by himself rather than by the state. we are living through a crisis of democracy, not, unlike anything seen since the second world war. that's the story. not an american story. global story. a story of american nonexceptionalism. and, because what is going on in the united states is happening elsewhere. story of globalization coming home. because it is, americans are used to as the world's strongest power being the country that influences other. the idea a foreign power reached into the united states and tampered with american democracy. and maybe chosen for americans a president that larger numbers of americans didn't want for

themselves. >> russia in this case. >> an experience, weaker countries, smaller countries have had. americans since the greatness of the country have arrived have never had to worry. that has the happened. it is going to be a very dif result year. a year that is difficult because of what is happening and because it is not in our nature to think about it. one more thing. i have the experience again and again. many of you -- may have it too. of being in a coffee shop. some one i know well come up say hello. tell me that everything is going to be okay? what i realize is, i can't give you the assurance you want. i am not sure that everything is going to be okay. here's what i do know. the only way that things will be okay if is we all understand how not okay they are. if we are sufficiently enflamed. we may be able to put the fire out. >> michael? >> well i think there is a, pretty much even chance that we are going to have a constitutional crisis or have a

completely incompetent presidency doesn't know how to exercise power. another possibility in this circumstance. a white house, donald trump has a white house with almost no skill at governing. a chief of staff that has never been in government. which is absolutely extraordinary. he has elevated people, generals and, and corporate head, that have no experience in this extraordinarily complex business of how you put together an administration. run a bureaucracy. produce ideas. so, there is -- i think there is a deep concern about the possibility of overreach. but i think we should also be concerned about possibility of an entirely ineffective government that doesn't value governing experience. that doesn't value, you know, what government should do. and what it can do under the right circumstances. >> that side of the table is very depressing. i mean, i mean, don't you have any hope at all that america is

somehow resilient, institutions will overcome whatever temporary challenges. sorry, i just, i just, struck by it. >> if the idea is that the structures of democracy, where do you think the -- >> fully agree with michelle. that technology. social media. these pose unique challenge the way we communicate and organize democracy. we have been in business for a long time in the country. we have survived worse things than whatever we are facing at the moment. i am just. keep, you know, keep hope alive. i don't know what the, feeling is. >> i am hopeful americans will rise to the challenge. the message they do not need to hear is don't worry your grandparents rose to the challenge. therefore you can stay on the couch. because, you face -- >> think you can tell them that. there are past examples of bravery, forted to. >> your grandparents survived this and you will too if you don't stay on the couch. >> need to take the measure of the threat to democratic institutions in the country around the world. >> to watch more go to
