u.n. did it anyway and afterwards the former cia director john brennan called out the president directly tweeting donald trump expects blind loyalty from everyone qualities usually found in narcissistic vengeful autocrats. >> all right, well we know the president is planning celebrate the holidays heading south? >> reporter: the president will shortly head to palm beach where he will spend the holiday with his family at mar-a-lago. could be one of the longest stretches he is away from washington not on official business but, of course the president is always president, and he is expected to be attended to official business while down there and i'm guessing you could probably expect a couple tweets as well. >> probably on tap.ry thanks. tom. quite a year in washington let's bring in matthew dowd for a year-end review of the presidency breaking down what he promised and if he's delivered. good morning to you. let's start with the president's tax cut plan a clear victory for the president, also getting

rid of the obamacare mandate which penalized people for not getting health insurance but a battle he hasn't won to fully obamacare. >> i legislative victory on the tax cut said and you're right to say on the obamacare side it's not a clear victory but there is a huge difference between a legislative and political victory so put a lot of yards on the field and has a lot of first downs but for political purposes he hasn't accomplished that much. >> his signature issue on the campaign trail was the promise a wall and have mexico pay for it. that's still a promise he hasn't fully delivered on. >> i think it'll be one very difficult to deliver on. all the compromises he has to do with congress related to the immigration issues and this one is tied up in it. one, with those compromises and, two, the fact that the budget now, he's got a 1.5,

$1.1 trillion deficit that will come from the tax cuts and building that wall will cost billions and having covered the campaign, i think it will difficult for him to do in an election year that's already problematic. >> yeah he's going to have to find that funding. one of the next big challengepresident. the midterm elections and new reports about a heated staff and corey lewandowski who got into it with bill stepien. >> i think he's worried and he should be worried. not a real staff problem but fundamental problem. all presidents in their first midterms with very few exceptions have huge problems with their party. this president has the lowest approval rating and you know from the data lowest approval rating a president has ended the first year at going into christmas than any president has ever had. that and the fact that his party is disliked much more than the

democrats sets up for a huge wave for the democrats and big problem for the republicans in both the house and senate in 2018. >> also shown he's willing to get out and campaign hard for candidates he does like and endorse. matthew dowd for us thanks so much. >> merry christmas. now to that urgent search for a possible serial shooter suspected in at least ten drive-by shootings in california in the last month. police say it's a top priority to find whoever is responsible and matt gutman is in california with the very latest on this investigation and, matt this gunman issing itting people when traffic is at its heaviest. >> reporter: that's right, amy. police say this mystery shooter has been stalking passing vehicles during the morning and evening commutes. now, just imagine being in a car like this when it is slammed by gunfire. right now police say that it's just pure luck that nobody has been killed yet. >> someone just shot my boss.

the motorists say the shots have been coming from a dark-colored pickup with oversized tires. >> a common thread in all the reports is t victims say they heard bangs as another vehicle passed them going the opposite direction than the >> reporter: concern from police is not only a motorist might be shot but it might cause that vehicle to lose control. police say they have very little to go on right now. they're not even certain that that dark-colored pickup truck is the vehicle they're looking for. much less the identity of the person or people inside of it. amy. >> wow, so little to go on. so frightening. thank you very much. in california an update for the millions affected by wildfires out there. all significant evacuation orders have now been lifted and the worst appears to be over for the thomas fire which has become the second largest wildfire in state history burning more than 400 square miles and forcing
