big panel tonight. let's take the big shot. why don't you just wave whether we say your name. steve, democratic strategies, samiel is here, republican strategist jessica is here. >> lindsey france, third party advocate, so talking about green party, all of that, legal analyst pamela haze, and social media adds vaux kate ben franklin herrera. oo. >> all right. >> we will do look back, look forwards. >> like that. >> big impact full moment from 2017 and preview something that you predict will happen in 2018. >> let's start with stephanie. >> so, i think the alabama election was one of the most impact full event, crazy moment where we saw this ongoing republican war. we have the republican party kinds of split to the ban on side and the mcconnell side, that war in alabamament then we saw the me too movement come into play there as well with the accusations against roy moore, then democrats make

so just insane moment in 2017. >> i feel it is appropriate you say that, we have sam next to you, she mentioned about the democrats. you know, they went into this year really out of it. >> in trouble. >> to this point they still have no power. they still don't have power. >> that's true, what we have is movement. movement is a is a good thing, we pick up three governorships, really good, very important. we will work on more places, nate silver recently came out and said democrats have better than 50% chance of picking up the house. i think that's seem a little exaggerated but assume for sake of argument they close the gahm. if they can close the gap in the senate this year, get it closer, then perhaps then they get little nor negotiating strength. when you are so far out, you're in trouble. that's the problem. >> two seat to get back. so we are in a good position if we get those back. >> twenty up for grabs. >> but only need two. so we get those two back. >> i would say probably six, seven little bit up in play, and five of those -- >> i was watching, do

play poker, do you not have a poker face. watch your face there. >> no, no. i think democrats have a great chance, you know, two off in the senate, and the house is 25, but it is a hard-sell. because they haven't done anything. and once the public understands that we have been, you know, messed over, they're just going to say, hey, maybe we need to go back and start this, the republicans have been in a while, let's just get them going. let them play catch up. >> just real quick for me, the biggest moments of 2017, i was following the jobs reports and the dow all year long, because people feel it in the pocket first, voters specially. and so i feel like any candidate who can speak to what people are experiencing got the lowest unemployment rates in years, since 2013. dow is doing really well. i think we will see a lot of that continuing into 2018. >> can actually grab ahold that far, make that

their platform and say i'm for you the worker this is how i'm going to do it. has a lot of grounds to gain, and nate silveri red the same numbers, pretty ambitious, but if democrats can say i am pro business, i'm pro worker, that's the rhetoric people really need to be hearing, is talking to their pocketbook. >> for voters i think that will be big this year. >> showing up at the voting box. >> always a problem. >> don't for death that. >> what about sexual harrassment, such the headlines this year, and i think that the 2018 predictions for me is going to be in such a more thing on the hill, see a lot of house and senate people push for people to be outspoken about it, women are going to be far more empowered to speak on what's been happening behind closed doors, i mean, we have nbc having a problem, harry weinstein being, you know, ousted of hollywood. so really big problem right now that the culture is feeling. >> it will hit congress. >> it will hit congress. >> they shouldn't be

i mean they are the law make there, they should be held accountable. >> i want to talk about the social media angle. we can talk about this, the whole political climate right now, it is jammed. think about two years ago, four years ago, six years ago, social media guides the national conversation with everything. we know the president has harness dollars twitter, whether you like what he does, don't like what he does, he has the direct line. >> biggest form every communication, yes. >> there are a lot of people that say the president should be tweeting as much, his new years resolution -- >> oh! >> (laughing). >> he's going to pick it -- kick it up a notch come august, end of summer rather. >> stand by new years day. >> 3:00 in the morning, now 4:00 in the morning. >> talking about this before the show. >> you know, end of summer right before the election, will amp up. >> kick up. >> going to be on twitterment kind of like on auto pilot, just regurgitating information that, you know. >> yes, ke

advantage. and that's what most people don't deal with. if they could only go direct to him, step to him, out of his play book, he's not going -- >> he has a way to directly reach out to america. >> and to dif effort, and to divert attention, as well. >> such a large platform in any business. in fact, for 2017, i live in los angeles, and weinstein really opened the floodgates for sexual harrassment. we all know at the end of the day this isn't a left or right wing agenda. this has been an agenda sexual harrassment has been going on for years and years. but it has always been kept under wraps. and i think for my prediction for 2018 is that companies are really going to crackdown, and they're not going to allow this to happen any more. whether republican or democrat, enough is enough. >> i don't think it is a partisan issue. >> right. >> needs to be a situation where we come together, look, these are the rules, everything has -- >> well, and who is going to step down next though, right? because these people, cue the special election. >> it is going to have to be coming from the hill.

>> exactly. >> i was going to say. >> what? >> someone else that you don't think. >> do tell. do tell. (laughing). >> look to the courts. we already had one on the nice circuit. look to the courts. that's all i'm saying. >> all right. right before we go, we only have couple of second left, republicans scored big victory, can you not de nay, end of the year they got the tax bill passed. went through. is 2018 going to be a year where people are going to see a difference, we go back to this pocketbook issues, is this going to make a difference when it comes to the midterms in 2018? >> i think republicans will play it out for sure. i know talking to mitch mcconnell, he came to an event few weeks ago, and you know kind of envision this ad there is campaign 'd showing middle class family talking about all of the money they're saving from this tax cut bill. so i think something gop will clinic to and push very hard in the 2018 midterm election. >> he great progress, but the democrats have to

and say this may and large umbrella plan. that could help a lot of people. but on a day-to-day basis, campaign election boot in your own little district, can't be against trump. it has to be economics of the two people running. >> you can't vote against something, you have to vote for. >> negative partisanship, ruins everything. >> corporations are the ones benefitting truthfully. what there they tell us and the vote that's will allow us to go back in there? >> 2018, the economic growth, with the taxes, with the new tax reform plan, i think all of us as americans can look to that and say. this is all positive. there is no negative in lowering anyone's taxes. i know when i get a paycheck i would like to see little less taxes on there, myself. >> $5? >> something. >> and they say time is mine. i wish we could buy more time but we have to wrap it up here with our all-star panel here. >> thank to you all of us for joining. what a party. >> yes. >> happy new year, everyone. >> absolutely. please come back. you can all come bk

own, you don't have to combat together. >> we're not leaving. >> no. >> all right. there we go. >> we want to head over to gwen now, cold, cold weather. what do you have going on? >> you're absolutely right, definitely cold. now another element, talking snowfall, not a lot headed our way but still keeping a close eye on this. it will be pretty fast moving clipper system. and it is going to bring us some of the white stuff as we always say. ridge of high pressure causing pretty cold conditions here for us as that arctic air stays in place. we're seeing clouds continuing to build in, however, but this is the tis system moving our way, giving us overnight snow flurries, snow showers for your saturday. that will be sticking around, the problem is it will stick, because it is so cold out there. so, in terms, we will ends up with some icy spots out there that we really want you to be aware of, and do be careful. here is a look at your planner for tomorrow. 33 degrees by the time we hit the 12:00 hour tomorrow. with those snow showers, we will see them kind of quickly ve

>> welcome back to the view. >> the washington examiner eddie here with the top four media fueds, with the white house, in 2017. there were so many. i don't know how you narrowed it down to

>> and most of them, don't involve the president, which i found interesting. >> right. yes, that's why we call it just the white house fueds. we saw different back and forth oftentimes in the press briefing, which we fought so hard to be on camera maybe for this reason, but yes, at least one with the president, but a lot with the white house. >> let's start with the first one, so april ryan, we heard a lot from her, early on her and sean spicer, let's take a lo look. >> but april, hole on. it seems like you're hell bent on trying to make sure that whatever image you want to tell about this white house, stays, because at the end of the day, let me -- >> okay. >> but you know what, you are asking me a question, and i'll answer it, which is the president, i'm sorry, please stop shaking your head again. >> and she took that pretty off ends i havely. having to do with the fact that she is a woman actually. >> right. yes. i mean, there are many women in the press corps, but i think that when you have a man saying, please stop shaking your head to me, that didn't go over so well.

however, is that april ryan is not known for necessarily breaking news about the white house. it turns out that she is the news often with the white house. >> several times. >> which is why, yes, exactly, several times, and not just sean spicer, had exchange very recently sarah sanders, white house press secretary. >> so we see her time and time again coming up. but i think that was the best one we could put on the list. >> speaking of sarah sanders, exchange with brian, let's look at this one. >> why in the name of heaven anyone of us, right, replace, anyone of fuss we don't get it right the audience has the opportunity to turn the channel, or not redus. >> i think -- >> you have been elect today serve for four years at least. there is no option out of that. we are here to ask you questions, you are here to provide the answers. what you just did is inch flamm tore toy people all over the country who look at it and say see once again, the president's right, and everybody else out here is fake media. and everybody in t

only trying to do their job. >> brian, a guy, who has written for bunch of different publications, dc based this got a lot of player here, i believe sarah sanders tacking about accusing the media putting out phony stories. >> i like to think of this as the breaking point, where the fever broke for the media and the white house. >> yes. >> they had to get this out there. and he i think did that very well for them. sarah sanders did have a point. she was talking about a cnn report that had been retracted, fully retract that had to do with president trump and russia which has all but consumed his first year in office. other than that, obviously accomplishment, but very much the story in the media. but so you had him blowing up on this kind of thing like we deserve better media. so you have this guy, little known reporter actually up until this point, coming out. >> from maryland. >> yes. and he writes also for playboy. but he had a lot to say about that. and i think that was one of the heated, the hottest moments, in terms of with the president and the white

so just brief amount of time let. let's jim a costa. >> insulting, ignorant, foolish thins you've ever said, still really, the notion that you think that this is a racist bill, is so wrong, and so insulting. jim -- >> all right. so that one was right around the time the immigration bill came out. steven miller white house advisor, he was the one who came out and said early on in the administration you will not question this president's authority. >> right. >> a little bit after hard-line their. but jim ocosta has been front and center. >> made headlines several times, same casino every thing, yes. >> right. very member or bridge during this exchange wasn't he, to make his argument against the white house's stance on immigration was cents siting the poem that's on the statue of lib earth. >> i correct. >> which was fascinating but little bit like watching jerry springer's greatest hits, right? >> i think the biggest clash between the white house and the press pool, and i'm

>> no, not at all. >> we cannot forget the trump with morning joe. >> not even video, the tweet here, i heard poorly rated badly, don't watch him, crazy, along with psycho joe, came to march -- goes on that micah bras inch ski admitted to having in the first place. keep in mind, trump used to go on morning show all the time, but found cottage industry, right, in the opposition. >> oh, yes, absolutely, i think they found even smaller cottage industry afterward which was they come out the next day after the tweets which are fairly harmless, and they come out as if they had just emerge from the a woman's shelter. and we're doing fine, doing fine. >> that was offensive, though, the facelift comment. i found. >> well, he says offensive things. he says -- he said this about ran paul, he said it about every republican, who was a man, including the one woman. i think it is fairly minor in the grand scheme of things. >> it is fairly minor but then again he was known to do that,
