As a local 31 union stagehand here in KC I love that you included us in your thank you, can I just say sir with the utmost respect, you do it differently David, and don't ever change!
Thank you thank you thank you
I love that awesome happy ending where you show the great Humans behind the News. Shukran and Asante sana, dear Humans, because it's NOT just about money, but how that money impacts the World. The State of Vermont has the kindest Humans in America, and Bernie Sanders may back me up on that point. It has been over 16 years now supporting America and my friends told me to quit, but you can't quit something you love doing. Happy New Year, Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
Dear America, Happy New Year, 2925. Always be you but most you like Donald are just too greedy to even care about their neighbours. Take care America because it's going to a damn long road to rebuild that reputation America was known for.
Happy New Year dear America from Canada. It's cold up here but not really as long us our brains and hearts are warm, we shall survive and many have done that for many many years, especially our magnificent Native Family around Campbelltown, NB.
I worked until 2:am last and never saw any great New Year Explosion like that Dubai extravaganza. It does make an innocent mind jealous and the curious minds wandering who so much a display. I love to question everything that doesn't look right but I would love to see next year too. Take care, America and don't let idiotic words from Donald Trump trouble you. Why? Because we are Canadians and we can deal with it, even though politicians within are fighting like dogs It's really sad to watch the pain unraveling before our eyes, no one to blame really. You are America and we are the World, and you and I know some of us in the World love it America stumbles, and say waa, nice when America gets on her feet.
Thank God I'm a country boy and have to leave you with that song by John Denver, thank God I'm a country boy.
Rip, aaron hot nerd!😢arf, david!❤
Happy New America. We are not squirrels, but Humans. Please, celebrate responsibley my people.
We are glad to see you all . We love you all . Happy New Year to all of you . 🙏❤
God have mercy 🙏
What make America A Great Country? Newsroom.
Mary Bruce is stunning. She needs to replace Muir.
David should stfu unless he's apologizing for lying to our faces😂😂😂😂
Go Trump
Maga care
Great job everyone!
❤
The brain wash weak minded people. To do terrist work for someone that isn't all there. Got people to do stupid. For someone they don't know. Weak minded.
Love watching! Don’t let the big money influence you too much.
You must be 90 years old to watch ABC World News. It's for people with dementia.
Still not moving????
