We are kicking off the new year with a look at Politics Health and the economy. Lets go to jim cramer from mad money on nbc. Happy new year. Lets look at 2014. I think the economy at some times got overshadowed by other stories in the news. 1 to 10 how did we do . This turned out to be about an 8. Only overseas had weakness. This was a turn around year a great year. At the end of the year we saw Falling Oil Prices gas prices fell. I have seen predictions already that we could continue to see low gas prices throughout 2015. What do you think . This is a year where the consumer is going to be flush because we could see 2 gasoline all over the country. Phone bills are coming down too. Another unexpected benefit. Tax cuts from Telephone Companies and oil companies. We talk about this a lot and we have in the past. Will this be the year americans see a real raise . Yes. In terms of ability to have a good lifestyle . Yes. This is a year when the companies have so much profit it would be embarrassing if they didnt return it. Its been embarrassing in the past. We have seen it happen. Thats true. The ceos are overpaid. I wont change my mind about that. There will be wealth and success for so Many Companies in 2015. Dont be surprised if you get a raise you didnt ask for. Lets talk jobs. We dont have the december numbers. Right. It appears 2014 will be about the best year for job creation in a decade or a decade and a half. About 3 million jobs created. Can that extend into 2015 . Yes. There are a whole series whole parts of the economy about to kick in this year. Housing. We were still in a recessionary level in 2014. Big Construction Projects will help. We are seeing a return to our power as an export nation. We are building so many things here. These are all engines. I have never felt better than i have in this segment. Right. Lets talk about possible land mines to look out for in 2015. All right. Its not in our country. Worry about china slowing down again. Really europe has got to get it together. I dont know if they can. Japan, a giant economy falling off the cliff. This matters. We need them to buy our stuff. You talk about china. It was determined that china is now the Worlds Largest economy. Now i think a lot of people in the United States are uneasy about that. Is it anything more than a label . No it really isnt. The if they dont clean their air and water up they will be an economy we wont have to worry about at all. They have to spend a fortune just so we can see each other this far from each other in a major city. That was the year that was and the year ahead in the economy courtesy of jim cramer. Thank you very much. Happy new year. Lets go to savannah. Matt thank you very much. Now to the year ahead in politics. Lets be honest 2015 will be all about 2016. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Chuck, good morning. Good morning. Happy new year. Goodbye 2015. The next year in politics is all about the upcoming president ial election. It is. 2015 is about announcements. Who will get in get out. Then raising money. Then the first debates. Then the first part of the campaign. 2015 is about establishing whos going to run, whos strong and whos weak. It can be a race to be first to announce. Sometimes its about delay, how soon you announce. Lets start with hillary clinton. Im stunned that here we are on january 1st and we dont have any serious candidates. If you look back the last times we have had open president ial races people announced after the midterms. There seems to be a collective decision by everybody slow down wait until march or april before we get the race started. On the democrat side people are waiting to see what hillary does. Is there any real suspense left . Not anymore. If there is shes doing a disservice to the Democratic Party. The machinery is behind her. People will leave the white house, john pedesta, to be chairman of her campaign. Its not, oh he might do this. If she pulled the plug on this it would leave the Democratic Party in a real load of pain. She obviously knows what its like to be the front runner early. Democrats dont want to see a kor first nation. Could you see a serious challenge from the left that if it wouldnt prevail over her it could give her headaches . Every major front runner with the size of lead she has, even ones that survived and made it through always have that moment of oh oh my gosh. Al gore had it. Hillary had it with barack obama. There doesnt appear to be that person that could present that type of challenge. I think sometime in the fall when suddenly maybe her numbers people will start looking around. Maybe shell feel stale in the news feed. There will be that moment. I dont think it will be like 2008 for her. Lets talk about the republican side. Wide open field. We are seeing a rise of the establishment figures. Talking about Jeb Bush Chris Christie potentially mitt romney again. Well, the establishment aka, donors want one of those three. The grassroots arent interested in these three. They are unpopular with the with people who vote in primaries, vote in new hampshire, iowa south carolina. There is a disconnect between the mega rich guys ss backing the Republican Party want jeb, romney. They will accept Chris Christie though i think hes a lower third. They are afraid of what the grassroots will select like rand cruz. Those who vote in the caucuses the primaries, who who tops the list now . Right now its all over the place. Believe it or not after rand paul and we dont have a front runner but in nascar terms he niece the pole position. He earned that right. He lead it is polls in iowa. After that you have ben carson. Hes a former neurosurgeon from johns hopkins. One of the most successful at the pediatric level. He has a huge following in the conservative wing of the party. Hes already popped big in some of the polls. I think well have a scenario where you will see the rise. Ben carson may rise and fall. Others will rise and fall while the establishment gets its sea legs. 20 seconds to find out whats going to happen to warshington in 2015. Its all about whether john boehner and Mitch Mcconnell want to do something. That gives president obama the opportunity to sign big bipartisan legislation. Maybe taxes, maybe something else. For president obama he doesnt control it. Its up to Mitch Mcconnell and john boehner. Who is your dream guest for meet the press . I want the joint sitdown with bill and hillary. Okay. We all want it. We do. I will take them first. Billary. Lets start the new year on a good foot. Back over to matt. Savannah thank you very much. When it comes to medical news nothing was bigger in 2014 than the ebola crisis. What will we talk about this year . Dr. Natalie azar is an nbc contributor and assistant clinical professor at New York University medical center. Good morning. Hi matt. Ebola was the story medically in 2014 the end of the year Time Magazine named the ebola fighters as their persons of the year. Its discouraging when you look at news coming out of west africa. 18,000 people infected. More than 6,000 died. Will we start to turn the corner . We are hoping we will. Unfortunately to make a really accurate prediction with cant, almost. There are so many moving parts. We have the development and investigational drugs, vaccine development. We have the ability now to curtail and find and identify more cases. We have certainly made headway. There is reason to be hopeful. We cannot be complacent. You talk about ex peer mental drugs or five potential p vaccines being tested and developed. We know some of the patients brought to the United States were given experimental drugs. Is one showing more promise than others . How quickly could they mass produce it . Two very good question s. We have a twopronged approach. One is prevention. There are a number of vaccine s in development. At the end of november we got encouraging news on the first vaccine that was tried in humans. Thats hopeful to go into phase two and phase three trials and be mass produced by early or mid january 2015. The other approach is treating patients who were infected not preventing with the vaccine. We heard about zmap and the antiviral. Both drugs are now have moved into phases where we are hoping for larger trials to see if they are effective and mass production. Revolutionary medications in the copping year. One in particular a lot of people excited to deal with heart failure. This made new as couple of months ago. We felt it was so important it bears repeating. For cardiology this was a Ground Breaking story because it showed they were testing an investigational drug against whats considered the gold standard. When you do that its a robust study design. This was not against placebo. Its against what people have been using for a number of years. The drug decreased all cause mortality and mortality from cardiovascular and improved quality of life. This is fasttracked. They are hoping for approval and marketing by mid2015. Immunotherapy in the treatment of cancer. What is it why is it promising . Especially as a rheumotologist knowledge of the translational research. You take with a you understand about the way a tumor or cancer works and develop a drug that is specifically targeting that particular molecule. You are thokknocking out something specific rather than the good molecules. These inhibitors showed promise in hodgkins disease, kidney cancers, melanoma and nonsmall cell lung cancer. I want the go into the next one carefully. Lets talk about ecigs. I know the fda is considering regulating them as a tobacco product. Yeah. That has a lot of people up in arms. Where is this going in the coming year . Why sitis it important that the labeling is a tobacco product . It allow it is fda to have more control over the product. That translates into being able to conduct the appropriate well designed placebo trials et cetera to determine whether or not ecigarettes are safe. More importantly, now labeling has to include the percentage of the nicotine. It will also include the other content s. In some cases there have been carcinogens found and banning to minors. I guarantee in 2015 we wont end the debate as to whether these are healthy alternatives. Im not sure we will. Or a gate way to discovery. Natalie, thank you so much. Thank you so much. Carson had a late night on oh tv. Tamron is in for him this morning. Tamron good morning. Hey, guys. On this new years day many are sharing resolutions on social media.

Hollywoods awards season is fast approaching. The Golden Globes are just ten days from now, followed by this years oscar nominations. Here with predictions and the movies to put on your mustsee list is matt dean editor if chief of entertainment weekly. Good morning. Happy new year. You as well. It is awards season. Lets start with best picture possibilities for the oscars. You have sure things in mind is . We have locks for you. The thing about best picture you can nominate up to ten. Four or five are competitive and the remainder are just happy to be here. We have two biopics, the theory of everything and the imitation game. Focusing on Stephen Hawking and alan touring the british code breaker in world war ii. Birdman and boyhood, both took a different approach. Richard linkletter from boyhood shot it over 12 years using the same actor. Ethan hawke he work ohhed with for some time. And birdman filmed with michaelle keaton in a comeback. The portrayal of an action star trying to find his legacy. Lets talk about best actor. Who gets the nomination this year . Steve carell had a careerdefining performance down to the prosthetic nose. Unrecognizable. Heres the thing about coimmediate yans they can usually convert to dramatic actors because the timing is great. This por p trail of john dupont is so haunting. Hes a wrestling enthusiast. Its definitely going to get him nominated. Dark horses in best actor . J. K. Simmons plays a band instructor in whiplash. We like his portrayal there. Benedict cumberbatch and Eddie Redmain as well. Best actress. We like Reese Witherspoon whose mother has died. She goes on a long hike to find herself in wild adapted from the book. Its an unreeselike performance we see. Its a reeseaissance we are calling it. Supporting actor and actress. I love mark ruffalo in the wrestler and brother to Channing Tatum in the movie. He was fantastic. I would have liked to have seen him more on the screen in fox catcher. Supporting actress, there are a number we like there. Laura dern and tilda swinton. Laura dern was the mother. Tilda swinton was a phenomenally bizarre movie the snow pierce er, one of my favorite action scifi films of the year. Shoe in for the nominations. The academy will award Richard Linkletter for boyhood and also for birdman. Over 12 years, what if it doesnt pan out . Doing a continuous take for the entirety of birdman is something few could pull off. They will be regarded as a result. Always good to see you. Well see you lots in the new year.

Pick your mix. Before fibromyalgia, i was on the go. I kept on top of things. I was a doer. Then the chronic, widespread pain slowed me down. My doctor and i agreed that moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. He also prescribed lyrica. Fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. For some patients, lyrica significantly relieves fibromyalgia pain and improves physical function. With less pain i feel better, and can be more active. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. Fibromyalgia may have changed things, but with less pain, im still a doer. Ask your doctor about lyrica today. Lyrica. Move forward with less fibromyalgia pain.

This is my butt my butt and i came into this world together. We were a great team then we grew up. And things werent as easy. I got my butt a job. A gym membership and a boyfriend but when my life went in one direction. My butt would go in another. We could get the magic back for a little while but, after twelve years, seven diets and six sizes i finally realized my relationship with my butt had nothing to do with my butt and everythying to do with my brain. We were talking earlier about resolutions. Heres something shocking. Only 8 of people keeper their new years resolutions. Apparently we neededed a poll to tell us that. We want you to be one of the . We chose the top four resolutions people make and brought in experts to help you stick with it. Lets get to our stations. Joel harper with fitness. We are talking weight loss tips. Thats the big one on the list. Everybody wants to lose weight. You say epic up a new form of exercise. You will pull in your stomach, great cardio and you have to lift your arms up so it works your arms as well. Hips like that. Bend your knees. Go down lower and pick it back up. So youre squatting. Pick it back up. Keep trying. P. M. That didnt look good. You say to update the wardrobe. Clean your closet out. Take everything out of the closet. Make sure you dont put anything back in your closet that doesnt fit rightment. If its too big you dont need it. People fall back on wearing too big of clothes. You suggest having a skinny outfit. Have a tight pair of jeans, a dress. Something that doesnt fit but you want it to. Try it every day. When there is a danish you know what your goal is, getting in the dress. Water is a big key. I get all my clients to do it. Start now. Take your body weight. Cut it in half. If i weigh 200 pounds i should drink a hundred ounces of water every day. Determined by your body size. If you work out, another ten ounces. For me this is how much i want to drink throughout the day. People get headaches because they are dehydrated. Peoples backs are tight because they have not had enough water. Thanks. Lets go to willie. Thank you very much. Now we are joined by the today financial editor jean chatzky. Happy new year. To you, too. An easy way to save money. First, make a financial resolution. If you did it last year you are probably feeling better about your money right now. Most people want to save more money. We talk about automatic saving ss. Try to save cash as well. When you go to the atm, you take out a hundred bucks. Put a 20 away. I will see if i can fit it in this bank. Do it every time. Then take a time to visit the savings. Just add it up. You will notice you have become a saver. Cool. Peel off a little bit each time you go. We all want to save. Sometimes when the bills pile up how do you reduce debt . One way to not build Additional Debt is to start taking the credit cards out of the wallet. If you cant handle plastic, leave the plastic at home. Wow. Spend the cash. We know where Identity Theft is concerned you definitely want to spend credit not debit. If you cant handle it not a good thing to the do. Also never pay late again. With one 35 late payment fee, chances are you will have 12 13 during the year. It gets expensive. Go online. Schedule automatic bill payments and you will be good to go. Happy new year, jean. Plet lets go to al. Founder and ceo of the muse. Com. Great ideas for landing your dream job. How are you .

People think its decent. I could be more likable. Then a producer here put up another photo thats a night life pic. People say, this is not the right sort of picture for a professional thing like linkedin. Important to see with a your social message is. There is a way to do it. This is another idea thats creative. Figuring out the message you are sending with a resume or cover letter. You can drop your resume or oh cover letter into a word cloud generator. You can see the words that jump out. Intern health management. If those arent the words you want the potential employer to see. Change it up. You say job resolution set actionable goals. This is important. People come to january and say, okay i will get a new job. Thats not actionable. Break it into small steps. Tyrannosaurus rex, go for example, go to five networking events. Make it tactical actionable. Now back down to tamron. If your new years resolution is to reduce stress dr. Nina radcliffe will find your zen within. Nice to see you. This is a common new years resolution thats easily broken. We dont know how to find the path. If we dont deal with stress it piles up and overtakes our lives.

I know because it says here. What . Mini skirts. Mini skirts yeah. I didnt know that was the case. They outsold knee length midi and maxi and all combined. This is also the year when they said anybody over 45 should never wear a mini skirt. The wall street journal wrote this article that said what were we thinking when youre wearing a mini skirt. What did you say about that . I say there are many women over 45 who look the best they have ever looked in their lives and if they have the legs for it wear your mini skirts. I think there is some 20yearolds that shouldnt be wearing them. Hello. And you know who you are. They dont know because they keep wearing them. But i mean if you got body for it i say wear it as long as you can wear it. Hoda did that fit you . Yes it does. Ill prove it. Here is the other thing that was trendy this year, if you want to know thats not called fitting, hoda. Okay. Capes were huge. You know who the trend setter was . I wore are itit at the go with it.

Whether youre in a relationship that is going nowhere or dreaming of starting your own business, we have some great advice from life coach Valerie Burton the author of a terrific new book called get unstuck, be unstoppable. And you should know, val. How are you doing . I love that announcement. People are stuck, they really do feel almost debilitated, like there is nothing that they can do. It is hard to get that out of your mind isnt it . It is. It is the fear. And there are four core fears and we tend to repeat them, whether knerrin our relationships, fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of disapproval. Thats rejection, what is everybody going to think. And then there is the fear of losing control. For all those control freaks out there, they want to know exactly whats going to happen. So they would rather you never know what is going to happen. There are no guarantees. Thats where you are. Youre not stuck. Some people would rather be in a job they cant stand because they know it. So afraid. It is usually what is going on in your mind what is the story that youre telling yourself. And in the new year it is a great time to rewrite the script. What is the story youre saying about what has happened in the past, how do you face forward and just simply say, you know what, im going to feel fear but it doesnt have to be a stop sign. Right. Those people feel like when they feel fear they have to stop. No just keep moving forward. There is an old saying that came to me one time that i always thought of that said if you settled for what youve got, you basically deserve what you get. Because we have the power to get out of it if we dive in there and just believe in it right . Thats right. How do you do that though . Being unstoppable starts with having a clear vision of where youre going. Many people get stuck because they stare at the obstacle meditate on the obstacle never look up to say where am i trying to go . The obstacles are going to come. Just accept that. Take time to think through that worst case irrational scenario that is going on in your mind and what would you do if it happened. You can handle more than you believe you can. If people are at home and are stuck, relationships are another place where people get stuck. How do you get unstuck from one of those. Your marriage you can get out of a marriage, if you want to stay in it how do you get unstuck . The very first step i talk about in the book is telling yourself the truth. In relationships, often your intuition is telling you something, often there are things you need to say and if youre afraid of what the other person is going to say, you may keep your mouth closed and your resentment builds up and just say what needs to be said tell yourself what you really want and give yourself permission to move forward, even if you think you might fail. Okay. And heaven forbid you succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Thats what happens. Most successful people are the ones that failed the most. They learn from it and keep going. Thank you.

If this is the year youre finally going to install new Kitchen Cabinets or remodel that bathroom you hate so much have we got advice for you. Here with a checklist of what to ask your contractor first are the hosts of Anthony Carino and john colinari. A lot of people think contractors are cheating them with time materials, et cetera. You say first things first, put it in writing. First things first, lets have a contract. So many people dont have a contract they just go right into the building. You have to make sure you have an itemized list of what is going on. Whats going inside your house, how much are you paying for it timeline and most important, the contractor has to sign the contract. Thats what we want. I work with the same guy for so long that i we trust one another. Thats it. Getting a level of trust. But before you have that putting it in writing, the more are detail the better. You want it written down f youre unsure about it write it down. They already are have one they work with all the time. You can make sure you read it. The most important part is the itemized list. You wonder when materials are being used if theyre charging you too much for the materials, getting it wholesale and charging you a lot more or taking it away from the site and using it charging you too much and their time and energy. Contractors will put 20 . They have all the administrative work that goes into getting your products. I dont think most people mind that. When you want to save dollars, especially after the holidays, we have two pieces of flooring here. Thats what you get it for on your own. This is what a contractor will charge you. Thats per square foot. You got a thousand square feet that adds up quick. A lot of money. We got a bunch of prices laid out here and if you can actually manage all of this and keep it organized, because thats the key here right . We highly recommend getting your own products but if youre going to delay your job, youre going to wind up spending more money than saving money. So as long as you can get it there on time for the contractor to install, this is a great way to save money. Every time you have a change you want to make along the way, oh my gosh make the changes before you start. We always we always say to people, lets come over here. Check this out. Cutting corners a lot of times contractors to get the job done faster, theyre not going to use the proper materials, theyre not going to be on site at your house. So what happens, what do we see what happens . You see you get a lot of the nail pops you see a lot of bad spackle jobs so what is happening is if a contractor isnt there, not checking in on his subs that are doing the work theyre not putting the amount of spackle, you want three coats of spackle, make sure hes actually doing everything in the right manner and hes paying attention to your job. You create your list. Fixtures. This is another great place to save money. It comes to towel bars or toilet paper holders, they come with great templates. As long as you have a level, a pencil, and a simple drill gun you can install all these things yourself. You can save a ton of money just by not having these guys on site for the extra week or two week of details. Take us to our last little station. Yes. The fun station. This is the most fun.
