. they're calling on senator al franken to resign, as you see the rundown this is what we're talking about. let's get to it. there's more than two dozen democrat senators are demanding that al franken step down. the calls come as yet another woman come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct in an account of politico he apologized but disputed some of the allegation >> his office plans to make an announcement tomorrow. people are still buzzing, ronica cleary starts us off, ronica, i understand there are reports from inside minnesota that police planning to resign

tomorrow, but he's saying nope, not necessarily so. >> reporter: that's right. there is a lot of talk, a 32, democratic senators came out today, calling for him to resign. then word and news broke that he would be making an announcement tomorrow. you may recall, i'm not sure if it was last week or the week before, he made that first announcement, apologizing for the behavior. but not resigning. and then, reports started to surface that it would be a resignation announcement, i've got tweets in front of me from the senator franken account, he basically calls on an outlet that reported the resignation, he said that reporting needs to be corrected. because at this point, no decision has been made. that the senator is still discussing the issue with his family, it's hard to know, sometimes you know, the lawmaker will come out and deny the reporting

want the it out. and sometimes because it's actually false. we won't really know until tomorrow whether or not he is going to resign at this point. the senator's office kind of digging here heels in the ground saying that decision has not been made just yet. but we did take to the streets to get to the pulse of the people and ask you, do you think that senator franken should resign? >> i think he should. i think it's decent. i think it's the right thing to do, and, you know, you live by the sword, you die by the sword. >> if there's evidence that he's actually committed the crime, yes. i think he should. >> do you think he should resign. >> no. stay and fight. >> yes. yes, you have to have some type of moral, i think basis, ceiling, floor, whatever you want to call it. absolutely. >> reporter: most people saying he should resign. of course, congressman conyers earlier this week

that he would step down, but then on the other side of that, roy moore, a senate candidate, staying in the race, and even amidst allegations of sexual misconduct. the unfortunate thing is that there are so many accusations against so many of them. back to you, jim and shawn. >> in a case of al franken you have the picture involving lee anne tweeted end and the photographic evidence in the first one which she's apologized for and accepted. the question is, you know, on both sides, we have the allegations against roy moore, these are not the first, we have several congress men in the cross hairs, you have to wonder with all those democrats stepping forward are they trying to claim a moral high ground? is that what they're going to say? point their flag in that, look what's happening in alabama >> which is interesting because there's another high profile republican, blake far end

settling the $84,000 lawsuit which we now know about, republicans have been quiet on that. again, i don't think this should be a political issue. this should be a people issue, we should not accept a zero tolerance but it will be interesting to see how it plays out >> the biggest problem is -- we'll take care of that -- the bit problem is people don't understand, it should be people first, politics second. when you lose sight of that, get the hell out of politics >> i agree with you, jim >> money, power and politics is new allegation of sexual misconduct revealed almost daily across politics in the media. what can really be done to change the culture and minds of so many about sexual harassment and abuse >> thanks so much for joining us, psychologist. every day seems like we hear something new, another accuser calling out al franken. what, if anything, can be done to chaes

>> you know, used to be an accuser a year. we had bill cosby and bill clinton, now it's an accuser a day, what can we do? first of all, we have to wake up and recognize this is a systemic problem. this problem is pervasive and for two very long we have turned the other cheek and looked the other way. first and foremost, we need to live to people who something to say who have been hurt by sexual harassment and by misconduct and abuse of all forms, then we need to scrutinize what we heard. we need due process, a process that we can trust, where we can derive the truth. i think thirdly, we need to look at what are the avenues that, for change beginning with ourselves. there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of men sitting out in audiences everywhere across this country, who have done something that

they're wondering, did i hurt somebody? they know they hurt somebody. you know, proof and reconciliation. >> i think back to about 20 years ago when last time we had this substantial discussion about assessment was a time when people didn't know what sexual harassment was and we're talking about anita hill and clarence thomas, a lot of the attention was paid do that then, some time between then and now, that's a long time, things changed -- what changed? >> you know, we went and we had -- we declared that every corporation needed a sexual harassment training, have sexual training and awareness classes and programs that were mandatory everywhere. did we implement them? did we really learn something? did we upgrade? yeah, we were more careful, but we're going back to school. this is a time for a whole new generation of sensitivity and awareness and action, the window of opportunity and the referendum that's in front of this country, and we're watching our fellow

is extremely important, our daughters are watching. our sons are watching. future generations are going to be deeply affected. >> when you say sensitivity, when you -- that -- that -- that brings to mind a whole new idea that when you say we have to be sensitive about issues, that's political correctness, trash, we shouldn't worry about that. there's a difference between being politically correct and realizing that people know there's effects to what you say sometimes >> exactly. i had a young woman call me up this morning in tears, got the news that the person of the year award that time magazine gives went to people, secret breakers? people like her, who stood up months ago at 20 years old and said, you know what? i was assaulted. i don't want to carry this in shame for the rest of my life. what are we going to do? and she's standing by and watching. yeah, political

let's forget about. let's talk about respect, let's talk about an awareness that what we do affects other people, sometimes for the rest of their lives. and we have opportunity to clean up our act on so many different levels here. >> we do but let me ask you about this. this is awesome, we're glad time did that. there are a lot of women and men who are the silence breakers. then we look at what's going on in alabama and you mentioned it earlier, our kid are watching what's going on be we looked at the allegation against the president of the united states last year and he's the president of the united states. what does this say to us, despite all the people coming forward and we're watching the situation, how do we talk to our kids? >> well, first of all, we understand that the powers of denial of resistance and the opportunity to change are extremely strong. this is so pervasive, our attitudes towards women and so many ways, it's so -- deeply imbedded in our culture, in our consciousness tt

we don't even know what we're doing and that we have a serious problem, we need to facing so when we talk to our kids, we need to tell our daughters as i did, i have two daughters, you need -- it's -- disrespect is unacceptable. and you need to have a voice and use it. and first and foremost, you need to know that you deserve respect, and you deserve to be treated with respect. >> great advice >> and to help stand with them that there have been trans aggression, when they trusted somebody and were betrayed. to stand with them, and to train our sons, you know, 1983, i read a book called the secrets men keep. i was talking about the psychology of men, we need to train our sons. basic training as a man does not work. when it comes to respect for women, we need to train our sons to be gentlemen again. >> dr. ken dra, incredible advice, i hope people are listening and will heed your advice, thanks so much. >> we just had that

with dr. dreck and not once did you hear democrats did this and republicans did this. there's much more than that. the person or people of the year, the silence breaker, the me too movement, seeks to shed light on sexual harassment and assault comes in the wake of revolutions about a slew of men from hollywood producer, harvey weinstein, ratner, franken >> the it chose the silence breakers for the courageous ness for coming forward and breaking their abuse they're endured and for turning fear into fury. time interviewed several victims who broke silence and declared enough is enough. meantime president trump came in second place followed by chinese president xi jinping. >> the irony was that it was made on the "today" show. think about what they went through a week ago. >> president trump made one of the biggest foreign

shifts in years, both israel and palestine claim jerusalem is their capitol. the president moved forward with planning to recognize jerusalem as the capitol of israel and move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to the holy city >> we cannot solve our problems by making the same failed assumptions and repeating the same failed strategies of the past. it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capitol of israel. >> the move will take the state department years to complete. they said it will have detrimental consequences on the mideast process >> 6:41, 46 degrees outside and i heard sue palka say snow, not today but possibly in the coming days >> there's a couple of chances shawn and jim. if we're looking at the seven-day forecast. three chances, first friday, that will be south and east. i'm not sure dc sees

say saturday afternoon and night then we look at next ties as well. but you know what you're really going to be talking about? these back to normal temperatures for december. you felt it today. we're back to the chilly 40's, and that's actually closer to average than 50's and 60 degree reading we had previous this month, we're actually looking at not only 40's tomorrow, but even colder by friday. and that's when we see the possibility of a chance of some light snow south and east. i really think it might be closer to sal bury. depends how close an area of low pressure gets to the coast. there could be passing flurries or snow showers from west to east. especially north over the city and that would be saturday and saturday night. so lots to keep track of. but just to give you an idea what to expect over the next couple of day, at quiet day on thursday, 49 degrees, and by

clouds and chillier temperature at 42. jim and shawn a look at your forecast, back to you. >> on the way, talking about a possible shutdown in washington and it's all in response to the president's enforcement of the immigration laws. we'll talk more when 5@630 comes right back. there was an old woman who lived in a shoe. she had so many children she had to buy lots of groceries. while she was shopping for organic fruits and veggies, burglars broke into her shoe. they stole her kids' mountain bikes and tablets along with her new juice press. luckily the geico insurance agency had helped her with homeowners insurance. she got full replacement on the stolen goods

juice delivery service. call geico and see how affordable homeowners insurance can be.

. they're threatening to shut down the federal government over immigration form. a massive rally by pro immigration demonstrators >> tom fitzgerald was in the midst of the protests and joins us from the hill with more. fitz? >> reporter: good evening, any time you have an issue like the government shutdown or immigration, individually, those are hot button issues on capitol hill. you put those two things together and you got the makings of an explosive situation,

a look at this rally that went on up here today on capitol hill, these were close to 1,000 protesters protesting the fact that despite the fact that people had said that daca was going to be replaced, that they were going to have a system in place, that still hasn't happened. a lot of these people up here on capitol hill today were very angry about this, yes, they were harsh words for president trump but there were also a lot of harsh word for congress. several democrats said they won't vote for any spending bill, that does not have a diagnostic replacement as part of it. and those thoughts were echoed today >> we will not rest until not only the dreamers are put in a safe place but their moms, dad's, uncle, their brothers, their sisters are put in the same place >> when our classmates and coworkers and neighbors and people we have grown up near and der and around, when these families believe that

lose their jobs and their healthcare, this an emergency. >> reporter: that was congressman gutierez and the senator from california, ka mill la harris, after they left the spot. let show you the video where went. they went there because they were not permitted to be there and this was going to be part of a civil dis obedience, u.s. capitol police told them to disturbs once, twice, three times, they did not listen, they moved in and started making arrests, we're told about 182 people were arrested. now, this threat to shut the government down over immigration is drawing fire from hard liners on immigration tonight. some of them from the freshen for american immigration reforms say democrats are playi

two different issues that have nothing to do with each other. >> shutdown the government for who? illegal aliens broke the law, parents brought them here, it's not only fair, it's irresponsible. their priorties are screwed up. >> couple of deadlines to keep in mind. jim and shawn, two grace a government shutdown. 92 days before daca expires, all sides on this, it's their interest to resolve this in some fashion because the government will shut down as the president said on saturday unless they get some kind of agreement. >> tomorrow is the big meeting where we have charles schumer and nancy pilosi back there, and i think back to the deal they allegedly struck months and months ago with the president. we'll see what happened between then and now. right, fitz >> well, it wasn't much of a deal. what it was was tweets. and you know, tweets are not deals, tweets

legislation. they're tweets. >> it was more of a fake deal. we'll see what happens. hopeful no one insults anyone before the meeting. no big surprise, he has been the big focus of the u.s. elections. now he's set to run again in one of his own.
