Welcome. Im tom foreman and this year really did feel like a wickedly deceptive magic show full of misdirection and illusions and slight of hand. Every time we thought we kne exactly where things stood, suddenly they changed and nowhere more than the place where we begin, the devilish world of hocus pocus politics. 2019 was a blur. Its been a strange year. A year of epic struggle. Ugh, i need a drink. It started off with the worst political story, the ukraine scandal. Or as President Trump called it. Fake news. Its a hoax. Bull [ bleep ]. It is a sordid tale of the ukrainians to investigate joe biden and pushing a debunked Conspiracy Theory that ukraine, not russia, was to blame for u. S. Election meddling. We are here just to provide what we know and what weve heard. Do you swear or affirm yet once impeachment hearings got under way, one witness after another said the president and his team did precisely what they are accused of. Everyone was in the loop. The republican response . Aside from rushing a hearing room trying to physically stop the proceedings donald trump has truly been a victim of incredible bias. Impeachment. Some say his actions are bad, but not impeachable. And thats one thing. A witch hunt. There are others who just Say Something of the effect of i am not listening, i am not listening, i am not listening. Quid pro quo. If i hear the term quid pro quo one more time. Ready . Get the cameras rolling. Quid pro quo. Quid pro quo. Quid pro quo. Im going to quid pro myself, okay . Quid pro quo. I just wish someone would just make it really simple. Either he broke the law or he didnt break the worst use of thumbs. Trumps torrent of tweets against his foes. Bull [ bleep ] and bitter accusations and lies and one truly disturbing photoshop picture. Quid pro quo. I kind of feel like id like to take him aside and say hey, ive had experience with twitter. Be best trend for republicans, the way trump continues to pack the federal courts with conservatives. He is doing it in record numbers is what he promised, its what hes achieving and now its what hes bragging about. Worst shell game. The president s nonstop attempts to keep his tax returns private. Can we all just agree. Hes not releasing his taxes. Hes not doing it. Best way to shake up terrorists. The killing of the isis leader in syria. The president showed enormous courage. He made the right calls. The special forces who took down al baghdadi put their lives at enormous risk and we should all be grateful. Worst way to shake up the markets and the trump tariffs and china. Theres a very famous quote in the princess bride. Id like to add an addendum. Never get into a terrorist pissing contest with china. [ laughter ] worst getaway vacation. Trumps unprecedented visit to the Demilitarized Zone with north Korean Leader kim jongun which produced only a photoop and even that wasnt as cool as kims white horse photos later in the year. I feel like our president has definitely reshaped the way politics are being played. And its like crazy land right now. There are rules and laws that are being made up every second that none of us ever agreed on. It should be done pretty close to next year. Best broken Campaign Promise as far as democrats are concerned. That wall trump pledged to construct three years in and only a tiny fraction is finished. The fact of the matter is the thing is not being built. Mexico is not paying for any of it. We must keep government open. As evidenced by a huge funding fight between trump and congress. Its a dark time. Which no one really won. And the very beginning of the year we had a Government Shutdown and people were not getting paid for no reason. Our investigation is complete. Combine all of that with the blistering fallout from the russia report which did not condemn, but also did not exonerate the president. A stampede of Democratic Candidates vying to challenge trump in 2020. My mailman is running for president. My plumber is running for president. My neighbors dog might be running for president. Every time i watch a debate im, like, who is this guy . Never seen her before . As im sitting here right now, four more democrats have entered the race for president. Im just letting you know. Some of the calls for progressive reforms gave republicans their best tree shot. Were talking about socialism folks. One of my favorite moments this year was when President Trump got up in the state of the union and he said america will never be a socialist country. That likely boosted trumps best number, the roughly 90 of republicans who approve of how he is doing his job. You know what . In star wars the sith lord had a lot of followers. But trumps worst number, the more than 50 of americans who have disapproved of his performance since day one. Polls show any number of democrats could beat him next fall. Whoever can get everyone to listen and get everyones attention in a nontrump way i think will be the person that everyone will rally behind. I just hope people just, you know, think long and hard before they do any lever pulling or inking, whatever. Quid pro quo the government is shut down. For all of the uproar, silliness and partisan sniping, the single most ridiculous political idea of the year. When trump said he wanted to buy greenland, at first i thought he was stealing one of my jokes. So did greenland and they rejected the idea flat out. Greenland doesnt want to be a part of us. Leave them alone. Well have the stories in just a little bit, but for now, hold on tight, were about to let the games begin. The decade in sports closed out with some truly historic finishes especially for women who were playing harder than ever before. And, you, me, team bad ass. You dont want to be a part of this . It is about to go off. Were on target to look at the new golden age of television. Plus later hey thats my car all the best, all the worst, 2019 will be right back. man and woman [burst of talking to animals] vo it feels good to give back. attendant thank you so much. woman oh, you are so welcome. vo you can choose the aspca to get two hundred and fifty dollars from subaru when you get a new subaru, like the all new outback. vo 2 get 0. 9 during the subaru share the love event. Oh no,. A cougher. Welcome to flu season, karen. Is a regular flu shot strong enough. To help prevent flu in someone your age . There are standarddose flu shots. And then theres the superior flu protection. Of fluzone highdose. Its the only 65 plus flu shot. With 4 times the standard dose. And its free with Medicare Part b. Fluzone highdose is not for those whove had a severe allergic reaction. To any vaccine component, including. Eggs, egg products,. Or after a previous dose of flu vaccine. Tell your healthcare professional if youve ever experienced severe muscle weakness. After receiving a flu shot. If you notice. Other problems or symptoms following vaccination,. Contact your healthcare professional immediately. Side effects include pain, swelling. And redness where the shot was given. Other side effects may occur. Vaccination may not protect everyone. If youre 65 plus, dont settle for a standarddose flu shot. Influenza. Going down. Move up to fluzone highdose. See your doctor or pharmacist and ask for it by name. For sheer escapism, nothing could beat sports this year and in football no one being beat the new England Patriots in the postseason. They cruised to a super bowl victory over the Los Angeles Rams tying the record for most super bowl wins ever. The patriots won the super bowl again this year, and im going to quote 97 of football fans by saying boo . Tom brady proved yet again that hes magical. Go pats. I dont understand the haters. Hate haters gonna hate. They helped knock their team out of the playoffs. The saints should have been in the super bowl and everyone on earth knows and the world seary, the Washington Nationals with the oldest roster in the league beat the odds to square off against the houston astros. Then beat them dramatically in seven games. No one thought they were going to win. No one. That is the beauty. I love it when a team just comes out of nowhere and starts kicking ass. The stanley cup went to st. Louis after the blues put a beatdown on the boston bruins. In the nba plenty of folks thought golden state would take the trophy again and not the Toronto Raptors who ate up the warriors. It turned into canada versus america which was basically Like Universal Health care versus good luck, everybody. Universal Health Care Won and in the wnba there was d. C. Again taking the title over the connecticut sun which was noteworthy because this was the year of women in sports. In soccer, the u. S. Womens team won the world cup again. The 20 victory over the netherlands gave them backtoback titles. Thats the american spirit of sheer determination. In tennis, the reigning queen rocked while 15yearold coco goff before falling to naomi osaka. So the coconaomi moment of coming together, hugging it out. Thats what our country needs. Simone biles gets the best bling racking up the most world medals ever won by a female gymnast. In five months shes simone biles height right now. Elliott won the marathon in a highly orchestrated demonstration and bridget kosgy crushed a longstanding womens record. 2 14, thats how long it takes me to eat brunch at a good place, Table Service and stuff. Id like to take a car to the finish line and then just show up there and go [ breathing heavily ] and then collapse at the reporters feet. If you were arent Pay Attention to sports, well, no problem. There were plenty of other Entertainment Options out there, in an astonishing year of television. All you had to do was figure out what to watch in the box of wonders. Worst goodbye in all seven kingdoms. Game of thrones sent its last dragon fliefing off. The series was a roaring success from the start, but the end be with me. The final season of game of thrones was kind of like vegan hot dogs. You really wanted to like it, but it just made everyone really angry. What is it you really want . Rice cream. Best and most bittersweet wrapup to a Ground Breaking series. The final season of orange is the new black. You shouldnt be afraid is the first step in moving on. The last episode was really emotional for me. I was, like, in the middle of crying and then my postmate arrived and i had to stop. No spoilers. Another time reported missing. People that really were locked up. Mindhunter, best show about people who should be locked up. Succession. The key here is to act like a happy family. I get why people get into it, but im, like, man. Youre so rich. Worst problem with so many great programs coming and going, deciding which streaming service to buy into and what to watch once you do. Im a very bad tv watcher. I sit there with the Remote Control and even if its something i like, i click away from it. You got a problem . Best art imitating the worst life. It could be barry was there ever a time in your life that you did something so terrible that you were a shamed . [ screaming ] i cant think of anything. Killing eve qwest. She wants me to know when shes killed someone. Shes behind that door when it is the whole point. Silicon valley, the final season. Guess whos on it . This kid and its about 50 50 about whether you own a snake. His girlfriend owns a snake. Best show to make you worry in the worst way. Euphoria. That show made me never want to let my kids leave the house. Based on the worst events. The unsettling, unbelievable. This guy is out there, preying on the most Vulnerable Women he can find. The riveting spy. The shake is your only way in. The horrifying chernobyl and the heartbreaking when they see us. I want to see my son right now. Right now it was beautifully tragic in so many ways and it was amazingly accurate. Best shows to watch with tea and biscuits, the crown and the Great British baking show. The people are delightful and everyone is so kind. The accents are glorious, carling. And thats why im going to win shark tank. This is dancing with the stars. Giving former White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer a spin, bringing partisan politics right on to the dance floor. I want fiction. Im done with the idea of reality shows. Out front next. I watch cnn. Extra points for cnn. Yes and just when you thought the bachelorette might be fading, the best one yet showed up. Figure it out or, like, i dont want to do this. Hannah brown, i respect you. I was getting actually upset. I was yelling at my tv and it was amazing. Love hannah brown, hate luke and pete. And best body slamming comedy. What i do in my time is my business, my choice, baby. You could give it to russian doll or flee bag. Do you want to have sex . No. But well give the total to glow which continues to shine. You know why i love glow . Because i was young during that time period so it takes me back and then after the episode is over i go look in the mirror and then that whole fantasys gone. Dont you disappear. We have much more coming up including all of the big news. Fires, floods and is it warm in here or is it just me . Oh, my god. Plus we will look at the hottest film to streak through the theaters and well say goodbye to a cool cat and hello once again to an unstoppable shark and its all the best and all the worst 2019. Baby shark steven could only imaginem 24hr to trenjoying a spicy taco. Burn, now, his world explodes with flavor. Nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for allday allnight protection. Can you imagine 24hours without heartburn . The wait is over. Tmobile is lighting up 5g nationwide. While some 5g signals go only blocks, tmobile 5g goes miles. Beyond the big cities to the small towns. To the people. Now, millions of americans can have access to 5g on tmobile. And this is just the beginning. Tmobile, the first and only nationwide 5g network. Fit me foundation from mayfits skin tonerk and texture. Blurs pores. Stops shine. 97 of women found their fit. Fit me matte poreless only from Maybelline New York [ drathis holiday. Ahhhhh ahhhhh a distant friend returns. Elliott. You came back and while lots of things have changed. Wooooah woah its called the internet. Some things havent. Get ready for a reunion 3 million light years in the making. Woohoo yeah the fierce political battles all around the world raged so loudly you could have missed an awful lot of stories and yet they kept happening. Roaring blazes in california and the amazon helped make the point. You walk outside and it smells like a neighbor is having a barbecue at an ungodly hour. Youre, like, who is barbecuing at 3 00 in the morning . So did rising Ocean Temperatures and melting snow packs. This year provided the best, meaning the worst evidence so far of the calamitous effects of climate change. Im already up to, like, 50 sunscreen and i still get tan. All right, yent really get that tan, but you know what im saying. 2019 will go down as one of the hottest ever and iceland folks even held a funeral for a glacier that vanished. Couldnt actually make it there. I was holding a funeral for an ice cube i had in a glass of soda. How dare you . Best call for action give it to swedens greta thunberg, the young environmentalists who ripped. Shes an intense little person. Greta is a boss, and i want to be more like her. Adding to the concern, natural disasters like Hurricane Dorian which tore through the bahamas leaving breathtaking destruction. Every year theres some type of thing, but this each year they seem to be getting stronger and stronger and stronger. Worst weather map, the one shown by President Trump with an extra loop apparently drawn on seemingly to prove he was right when he said dorian could hit alabama even though meteorologists said he was wrong. Best news for an economy that keeps on chugging along. Despite repeated warnings of an impending recession unemployment is still super low and consumers are still buying and though maybe not as much as they might. All i can tell you is that my local avocado toast is just getting really expensive, and now i can only have it, like, twice a week. But. You talk it economists and what they will tell you is that the trump economy and the numbers inside the trump economy look a lot like the numbers from the obama economy. Worst problem that shows no sign of easing, Mass Shootings from a festival in california to ohio streets to a walmart in texas. Like, you cant even go Grocery Shopping for your family without thinking i could potentially be putting myself in a harmful situation or dangerous situation with living my regular life. Rising ethic in hatred which showed up in the u. S. And abroad notably as worshippers were gunned down in a mosque in new zealand. These people are praying. Theyre not harming anyone. We need a cultural revolution to stop this wave of hatred and anger where people feel that they need to go to Mass Shootings to display hate. Every year that ive ever lived in, at the end of the year i said i cant wait until this year is over. Amid roiling unrest in all sort of countries around the globe, the worst long goodbye goes to the tortured efforts of the United Kingdom to leave the european union. Brexit has become more like brrr woere thinking about leaving at some point. Best news for those who have had it with workplace harassment. The me too movement. Maybe now well see real change moving forward. We are finding out that more and more, mostly men, are really gross. Best example in the Jeffrey Epistein case is the worst of humanity. The uberwealthy financier was facing charges related to years of sex trafficking minors and the scandal hit a member of the royal family and numerous other epistein associates and he was eventually found hanged in his cell. Thats not the way the Justice System is supposed to work and it is a disaster. It is just a disaster. Another legal disaster, the Jussie Smollett case. The actor from the popular empire tv show claims he was attacked by racives who put a noose around his neck and it encited an outrage until Chicago Police conducted an investigation and said he staged the whole thing. Jussie smollett took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career. The whole story felt like a script that got thrown away from the show he was working on and he just used it. None of that made logical sense at all. Most mysterious cataclysm. The fire that engulfed a boat killing 34 people. Oh, my god, that was so sad. Worst trend to put parents on edge, the rise of vaping, and this year a series of deaths seemingly related to substances adding to the vape juice. I have sisters who are teenagers and preteens and vaping terrifies me. Worst helicopter moms. The College Admissions scandal of which investigators wealthy and in some cases famous parents gave massive amounts of money to buy better test results and guaranteed admissions to top colleges for their kids often through fake athletic scholarships. We just talk about how that conversation even went. Listen, kids, youre going to go visit a school. Act like youre really, really good at basketball, okay . Just do it for mommy. Just do it for mommy. Many of the parents have denied it including actress lori loughlin. Aunt becky is digging in. Shes, like, bring it on. I will full house your face. Best cyber trend. The movement by google and twit tore limit microtargeting of voters with fake ads, especially political ones. Worst case of lagging behind . Facebook. I dont know anyone who walks around saying i love Facebook Facebook is great their policies are awesome. Worst problem high in the air or not, two massive fatal crashes and 737 max jets were grounded worldwide and theyre still not cleared for takeoff. Worst problem high on the ground, the latest official count of annual Drug Overdose deaths. 70,000, down slightly from last year, but still helping lower average life spans. Best long sentence for a guy called shorty. Life in prison plus 30 years for the noterius drug lord joaquin guzman, aka, el chapo and the best way to get away from it all by booking a room at the International Space station which nasa this year opened for visits by private astronauts.

Dont use if youre allergic to otezla. It may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. Otezla is associated with. An increased risk of depression.

Otezla. Show more of you. Stones youve collected for me create a new one, a grateful universe. Born out of blood. Theyll never know. When it came to box office magic, almost nothing compared to with the longawaited Avengers Endgame and there was a lot to love. A lot of character, a lot of plot twists and at over three hour, a lot of minutes. That movie was so long, i had to bring my dog because i was afraid he would pee himself. Whatever it takes. Everywhere i go i see his face. Lots of superheroes among the topgrossing film, spiderman, captain marvel, shazam and more. I saw a significant number of movie in the top 20, and they involved people wearing tights. Super villain his their say, too, and the baddest of the bad boys was joker. Are you having negative thoughts . Oh, i have negative thoughts. Its almost like a horror film in real life because youre, like i hope everybodys calm. This is just a movie, guys because its almost like a case stud ney how white men can snap. Send in the clowns if you want to get crazy, we can get crazy. Film fans squirmed over us. While it brought pennywise. Psycho clowns terrorizing kids is awesome. Psycho clowns terrorizing james mcevoy meh that underscores the years worst trend in movie making, the tendency to keep going with the same stories. The force will be with you. Always. I mean, its ridiculous. Sequel, sequel, sequel. Can someone come up with something new . Im kind of interested in seeing spiderman 508. Jesse, ham. Buzz, rex, potatohead. Watch it, buddy. Still, there were nice moments especially in animation. I was happy that woody got a girlfriend. The lion king roared. Aladdin a reboot along with pikachu, the pets and the sisters of arondale let it go again. More than anyone and anything. The boast tale of a reallife hero. Welcome to the underground railroad.

Is it racist against asians . Thats hollywood for you. Youre [ bleep ] dumb. Dont you forget it. I find it harder and harder to get to the movies nowadays. If work is bad i want to end it. Films you should have seen and probably didnt. The touching story of two friends in paddleton. Im a dying guy the terrifying tale of a desperate dad in american dreamer. I promise i wont hurt you. No, sir. We call that white people doing white things. It was fantastic. And downton abby. 1927, were modern folk. It was like going home and visiting your friends that you hadnt seen in a while. Did you ever hit anybody . On the job . Yeah. I dont think so. There were some late contenders among the years best movies, but our pick for the most original film of 2019 Paul Mccartney wrote it. The beatles . Who . I loved, loved, loved, loved yesterday. The one where the guy wakes up to find that everyone in the world has forgotten the beatles music except him. Hey dude. Thats better. Music aufrp just sits in the background of a movie, but every now and then a tune will leap out on its own and become a sensation and thats really something because as any artist will tell you, creating a hit is a real take my horse to the old town road im going to ride until i cant no more lets start with the hit of the year, the song that topped the charts for a record 19 straight week for little nas x and billy ray cyrus. Old town road, who would have thought it would bring people together in the way that it the one thing about old town road is i really want to get a fringy cowboy jacket now. Not a bad best or worst trend, depending on your the rise and a country twang all across the charts. What country are we talking about . Here . In every country they have country music, but its their countrys music. Great tunes in all styles. The best and biggest name in rap is still drake. The guy who goes to the basketball games. Keep your eye on this drake fellow. Yeah. He seems to be doing all right. The most unexpected move by a rap star. Kanye wests new religious album. That level of faith is what our country needs right now. I dont think im going to listen to that because i dont want to burn in hell. Ive gotten into the singer perry como recently. Hes really good, and Andy Williams its the most wonderful time of the year the reigning queens of pop got rowdy. Taylor swift took a political turn. Taylor swift only has two speeds.
