decades ago. after the election moore refused to concede. last night he filed voter fraud. they wanted everybody to go back and vote, but a judge said, no. alt bam a's republican secretary of say the says there was no evidence of any election fraud so jones will indeed be sworn in next wednesday to become the first alabama democrat to be elected to the snt? a quarter century. it is worth mentioning that guy, richard shell bi converted to the gop later. it will be 51 to 49. of course laft talk about that one there. we've been keeping an eye on that one for you. that's been a big story as we talk about roy moore, but we'll talk about that next week when he's sworn in to the united states senate. >> president trump with strong words for china today. it is really

north korea. the president trump tweeted china caught red handed. there will never be a friendly solution to the north korea problem if this continues to happen. back in september the security council barred north korea from barring crowd oil. the response was in response to kim young hundred's missile program. the vessels from both north korea and china transferring oil in the west see more than two dozen times since october. china's foreign ministry won't confirm or denow the reports. the chinese government has strictly enforced trade restriction. the chinese are the most important nation in erms tf the compliance regime because most of the oil and petroleum products that north korea receives come through the chinese. they have consistently failed to do what they have

unique capability of doing and that's in either bending the regime in north korea to their will or helping us get rid of it and reunite the korean peninsula . just two weeks ago president trump credited china for its help in the resolution against over the north nuclear and missile tests. tonight, the white house says it is continuing to monitor the aftermath of a suicide bombing in afghanistan. a man blew himself up at a cultural center the blast killed at least 41 people and wounded 81 others. the offshoot of isis is claiming responsibility. the terror group has held a lot of the territory over the last year. the sunny muslim extremists often target shiites. it is home to a iran friendly media

agency. they like the headlines , so as they gain -- that helps them gain more favor with followers. we're another here fighting the oppressors in afghanistan. the us has ramped up its isis of strong holds. five operations in the last six months alone. the us is also focus odd rebuilding iraq after isis. the group once held most ill, the country's second rarnlg est city. it was all but destroyed in the un to he that it. 40,000 homes to have to be rebuilt. in the meantime three iraqis are living in rev justice department you gee camps. even if we defeat isis as a name we have to remember we're fighting idol ji, not just an organization. it meanwhile the president also wants to rebuild

about this during the campaign. a lot of talk about infrastructure spending. the tax reform is in the rearview that's what he's focusing on. something he wasn't able to accomplish in year one. they tell fox they're looking at 200 billion-dollar in direct federal spending. the goal here is to stimulate a trillion dollars in public works investments. the president has already invited leader mcconnell and ryan to camp david to make sure we're on the same page for the first week of 2018. fiscal savers want to see saving money one main thing you see a lot, toll roads. we know about that northern virginia. on the other identify of the aisle democrats have laid out their competing $1 trillion bill. that money would mostly come from direct federal funds. we are readily for a strong infrastructure bill that was put on the president's desk in january. we're till waiting to

it would create 15 million jobs here's the deal, when you talk about from structure spending this is something you should get everybody on board with. if you're democrat and you're pro yup onthis gets a lot of unions back to work. constituents would be happy that roads are getting fixed in their hometowns . bridges, bridges are a main problem in this country. we get rebuild, but again washington because money is always the big hang yup. other proposals to offset costs, tax breaks in cities in the private sector to fund their own rebuild ing projects. when you talk about infrastructure we're talking about metro. we know we need a lieutenant of work on metro, a lot of work on mass transit. step that up, purple line, everything like that. we'll see what happens in 2018. another big item on the president's to do list is immigration. there's a new study that indicates immigration levels

high in america. this is a group that has criticized the in flux of immigration and immigrants over the last several of years. # .8 million immigrants both legal and illegal game into the us. that's the highest level in the single history and a 63 percent jump since 2011. new qualifications for entry need to be set. 70 percent of new legal immigrants arrive through chain migration which is a fast way to gain entry by sponsorship by a family member. the president of course has called for its appeal . what you really need to do is understand what is the un documented population and how we fix that problem and then reach over to those who are coming in legally and say how do you maximize the benefit to tour new home country, the united states? the fate of daaca the deferred action for children

set to expire in march. the president said he was going to cancel but then funted over to congress. every day nearly, over # hundred, 120 some daca recipients, daca eligible lose their status. we need action. we need it soon. we'll see what's going to happen with that as well. because again daca is something where you have a lot of republicans. republicans and democrats agree to some extent that they want to keep protections around. a lot of the people who receive protections under daca came under no control of their own. they came here with their famil ies. we'll see what happens in 2018. this is our last final five of 2017. it has been another interesting year. we're going to take a look at highs and lowe's coming up next here on the final

it seems like one of the most popular topic this time of year is the year that passed itself. we sit around with our friends and we talk about the highs and the lowe's and sometimes it's tough to make a joke. but we're not all comedians. but you do you know who are. jackie pennsylvania pony. did i say that right. >> pennsylvania leach a. jackie pa leach i. they're inment fox how long tonight. pete, we had you in a couple of weeks ago. pete in addition to being a comedian likes to sling some drinks every now and then. is it true, are people talking about the year that passed at this point? i think it's more of like an

it at this point. do you feel -- i think 2016 was the year -- we lost so many tars that we love. we lost prince and carrie fisher and everything else, 2016 was just an exhaust ing year. 2016 or 2017, what was worse? a. i'm sure we lost stars this year, too, it just probably got drowned out. this year i could sit here and harp on all the bad stuff, but i like to say this is the year the light got on. i got to find out which one of my relatives were racist. i got to find out which one of the comedy heros was a deviant. i'm trying to find the silver lining in this year. >> jackie, i think we did lose stars. they dimmed. they're no longer stars anymore. you think of some of these names, people that we all looked up to. i thought kevin spacy was an incredible actor than a

realize he's a damn creep. apparently a really good actor because he got a i way with it for a licensing time. >> you wanted to talk about highlights. you look at the positive side of things. what is a good thing we saw as a people in 2017. >> well, the redskins still have a chance to finish at 500. hope is not lost and the wizards could still be in the post season. i think just more people taking an interest in the world that's going on around them has a been a silver lining acc i and i were talking about before we came on. you were saying another silver lining for you was the me 26789 the me two was amazing. i think so, too. what was enlightening to me was going on social media and people were coming out of the shadows. there were some people say why did these women wait so long to talk about what happened to them >> the reality is it's not an

easy thing to come out and say. it's not a new thing. the new phenomenon none is people are coming out and talking. the positive of what's going on in the world is more people are taking a role, you know, being active and trying to know what's going on and be involved. i think after inauguration day a loft people were talking about not just inauguration day, but what we saw in washington and across the country the day after with the women's march. it wasn't just women that were out there, there were a lieutenant of men out there, too. it was great for the city in terms of energy and i think what we saw in terms of activism will be carried into 2018. the only thing i hope that doesn't cold over into 2018 is cold shoulder tops. that's the thing i'm hoping stays behind. >> those are the ones with the cut out shouldrs in. >> yenchts what do you have against that.

decisive. commit. q. that's the almost the equivalent of me deciding to wear a sweater vest with nothing under it. >> exactly. they're not happy with that. they don't like that idea. look out 2018. i think i have a new look. do you buy into the idea of 20 new year's resolution? a. yes. >> jackie, go ahead. >> i'm going to try a new fitness program. q. what's it called. core power or fitness core. >> what would be imaginable for you, pete in you stick to things . i guess it's the same as i try not to put a calendar date on it and make it like i'm starting a new year's. i want to write more, eat better, lose weight, that are the some of thing. in

keep buying black shirts because they're slimming. hashtag new year, me. where can we find you ? any appearances. >> i'm in a show new year's eve at the washington improved theater. so visit d.c. org if you're looking for something fun to do on sunday night. all my shows i put out are put on chinese menu.com. >> my resolution is to get your name right. we're back after this on the final five. >> thank you. ou.

politics. like president trump he's asking his supporters to help him award a fake news trophy. perfect. >> an e-mail sent to supporters today says the president is hold ing a contest and asks for their votes. >> this is as good as he can do, the kick of galled i golden things. >> i wanted to bring in one of the trophies we had in the news room. >> we really tried hard in the softball tournaments. >> they had three stories on the news list, an abc news storying incorrectly contacted michael flynn. a cnn story claiming president trump and donald trump jr. were given to which can likes documents when i was actually available to the public . and a bust was removed from the oval office. the guy who reported that give a heart

felt apology. do you have a nomination. this is the fake news trophy. never mind the basketball. i think the fake yes news of the year was the inauguration crowd. q. i'm telling you, it was such a big deal, but who cares either way. it became too much of a big deal on both sides. what's fake, what's not. you can look at the pictures t. >> that's not one of the nominees. even at the emmys a wards. who would you give this trophy to? >> there's so much out there. there really is. i would give this to the fake news contest itself. because that is a con test worthy of this amazing trophy. i could not get the basketball off. >> what is that shot? a lot of use out of this trophy. maybe this will get a

. this next story. pam from the hit sitcom the office. getting praise foray poll apologizing about an inaccurate tweet. this weekend she posted how the tax bill would affect teachers' ability to deduct the cost of classroom supplies. that was going to be in the bill and then it was taken out. they pulled it out. she has deleted the tweet and posted a length i all policy. if anything is the voice of apology it's pam beast ly hal better. it is nice that she apologized. nobody would do that. nobody does that on the internet. nobody apologizes for spreading dumb crap out there. we're in a trum and world. you don't apologize for anything you put out there ever. that's the world we live in now. follow by

the president. the script says we've all been on a bad date before. i say -- never. this next one is for the record books . a prominent houston lawyer went on a date with a woman named lid lindsay lay ma'am she he called her an uber driverrier. she refused to leave. she hid inside the home and then damaged paintings worth half a million each and poured red wine on the carpet. here's my issue with this story. why are we only hearing his side of the story that makes her look completely crazy in because this wheelt wealthy person in texas, he owns a sherman tank that he parks in his driveway? a. who doesn't. he has issues with his homeowner's aerks some. a. dhonts. a ton of unpaid park ing tickets and speeding tickets. he's -- he is america he

he's not innocent in this. something drove her to go a little l crazy in his war hall laiden home. >> i don't think it was just the france that did it. franz. >> a proposal on indiana would force the indianapolis colts over cult players kneeling during the national anthem. the bill would request a refund fund to fans who want them. give me a break. it wouldn't require the colts to refund tickets if members of the opposing team told me. for one, i get it it's red meet for whoever is propos ing this. if the colts were good, if andrew luck were playing, there would be no requests for any of this. >> i say they today serve refunds for how bad of a team i was. if you want to say bad play i i c't

stub hub for my tickets. if you're offended by the anthem protest, that's in too, but agains that he's the case, you have the government telling a private event price. do i have time for a minute i soap box. >> ten seconds. direct tv he gave refunds for people who didn't like the kneeling but they wouldn't give me a refund for a product that doesn't work sunday ticket trks it's terrible . don't get it. brody logan a, everyone. back after this on the final five.
