Prospect of flynn entering a plea is not unexpected and, quote no one should draw the conclusion that this means anything about general flynn cooperating against the president. Instead, they believe any charges against flynn will likely be related to his lobbying work on behalf of turkey and have nothing to do with the president or russia. Some legal experts are also suggesting that even if Michael Flynn had damaging evidence against the president , there are real questions about his credibility. Given the potential charges against flynn including false statements, you know, his credibility is suspect. And im not trying to run down a guy who served his country for years. But ultimately, when you have to look at as a prosecutor to put him on the witness stand against those charges, theyre going to need some corroborating evidence to support his testimony Going Forward if he agrees to cooperate. Reporter and the fact that flynns attorneys have ended their informationsharing agreement with the president s legal team could mean a number of different things. Most likely, it means flynn is cooperating with investigators
and in the process of trying to cut a deal, or it means that hes preparing to plead guilty to forthcoming charges possibly in order to protect his son who is also under investigation. Rick and, garrett, you briefly mentioned turkey. What more do we know about some of the work that Michael Flynn did for the Turkish Government . Reporter Federal Records show he was paid more than half a million dollars, and the Wall Street Journal reports that included a documentary about a cleric who now lives in the United States. The Turkish Government blames him for a failed coup in the countrys capital and has called for him to be extradited back to ankara. Flynns Consulting Firm tried to mask its role in that documentary, and this latest example is just one part of a larger probe by federal investigators to determine if flynn improperly hid financial ties to both turkey and russia.

Reporter rick, as egyptians marked a weekend of mourning for the 305 people that were killed on friday, egyptian authorities are starting to get a better picture of what exactly happened in the small village. According to locals, isis militants have regularly
threatened the mod rate sufi muslim community, warning them not to cooperate with Egyptian Security forces. Sufi muslims are despised by extremists and viewed by groups like alqaeda and isis as apostates. Around noon on friday, more than two dozen wellarmed militants waving isis flags attacked the mosque first setting off a bomb and then gunning down many of the 500 or so worshipers who were trying to flee to safety. [speaking in native tongue] translator the assailants were targeting anybody and everybody, anybody who was bleeding. Reporter egyptian president el city city vowed this weekend that the attack would not go unpunished, and the Egyptian Military launched airstrikes in the mountains of the sinai desert. For three years, president sisi has promised to end the wave of violence unleashed by isis. This attack shows how easily isis, though, is able to operate in the sinai desert and just how ineffective Egyptian Security forces are. Rick . Rick conor powell reporting.

Health insurance premiums are soar ising for 2018 soaring for 2018, democrats blaming President Trump for the hikes, but these increases were expected long before President Trump with us lekkedded was elected. Dan springer reports. Reporter as americans sign up for next years Health Insurance coverage, those on the exchange are seeing higher
premiums just as they did a year ago when they were up on average 25 . According to the Kaiser Family foundation, premiums in 2018 are rising an average of 18 for gold and bronze plans and 32 for silver plans. President trump blames the Law Tweeting Last Month as usual, the Obamacare Premiums will be up. The dems open it, but we will repeal and replace and have Great Health Care soon after tax cuts. Many democrats say its really trumps fault. Californias Insurance Commissioner dave jones wrote 2018 Health Insurance rates higher thanks to trump and remies. In Washington State theyre calling it thanks to trump and republicans. In Washington State, theyre calling it sabotage. The things that trump has said has affected the market, made it unstable and created uncertainty. And thats something that Health Insurers dont like. Reporter President Trump did cut off costsharing subsidies or direct payments to Insurance Companies after a federal judge ruled them illegal
because Congress Never approved them. And that is partially impacting the cost of silver plans. But premiums have gone up each year since the law passed mainly because insurers are paying out more than theyre taking in. Its obamacares regulations that have more than doubled people yums over the last four or five years, and its the sloppy drafting of obamacare that led to the illegal costsharing subsidies that the Obama Administration has been spending without the authorization of congress. Reporter despite the often times confusing blame game, consumers are figuring out what works for them. And because tax credits are also increasing, the vast majority of those on the exchange arent paying any more for premiums. Still, the 7yearold law remains a political football that gets passed at every sign of trouble. In seattle, dan springer, fox news.

Listen, i know i have a lot of work to regain the trust of people ive let down. The people of minnesota, my friends and supporters, my colleagues and especially everyone who counts on me to be a champion and ally of women. Rick joining me now is morgan, reporter for the hill. Morgan, good to see you. Thanks for having me, rick. Rick your reaction to al frankens interview. Its certainly a major moment. Al franken has been silent for about eight days. This is him coming out and really addressing those allegations prickly. He publicly. Hes certainly saying hes ashamed, taking blame though at the same time saying he doesnt recall some of the photographs that were taken in those instances in the same way the women have recounted them. But i think the major question is, is this going to be enough for democrat, for progressive groups that are called on franken to resign. He certainly says here hes ready to get back to work and wont step down, but it will remain to be seen whether or not there will be more calls for his resignation especially if more allegations come like this come to light. Rick he said today this was not something he would intentionally do, but the acts as described dont sound accidental. Right. Certainly, his explanation has kind of walked the line between saying that the accounts are exactly what happened and accusing the women of lying. Hes certainly not doing that, but hes really trying to emphasize that he didnt mean, you know, the way that these women felt. But at the same time saying hes apologizing for making them feel that way. So hes certainly walking a fine line in the way that hes answered to these accusations. Obviously, apologizing to the first woman who came out, and
she has accepted his apology as well. Rick yeah. Certainly, hes emphasizing that. Rick we didnt hear a flatout denial, and the womens stories sound pretty similar, almost more like a pattern than an accident. Right. Theres been a few women, and several of those accounts have been recounted anonymously, some to the huffington post. But, yes, franken isnt denying what actually happened, hes just saying he doesnt remember those encount ors. I think one other important point from the interview today is that he was asked whether or not he expects there to be more allegations, and he basically indicated that he didnt know and that he hopes not. So i think it definitely leaves the door open. I think hes being very careful there because if he is truthful in saying that this wasnt what he intended and that he didnt remember them these ways, then i think hes perhaps worried that, you know, more people will come
out, and this behavior will be brought to light. Rick based on the allegations and the photo that was released, is it offensive to hear him describe himself as an ally of women . I mean, i think hes certainly trying to, again as i said, walk the line between saying that hes an ally of women and taking responsibility for his actions. So i think that leann tweeden, obviously, accepted that apology. I think other people will respond probably differently or be varying reactions to the way franken has handled everything. Rick i guess the question is whether its forgivable or not. Right. And i think that well see, again, varying reactions to that, you know . I think there will be people that say that they forgive him and that he, you know, basically welcoming this Ethics Investigation and taking blame, and i think there will be others that will continue to call for his resignation and call for him to step down. Rick youre down in washington,
right . Uhhuh. Rick whats the buzz down there about representative john conyers today . John conyers make willing a big statement making a big statement saying hes going to step down from his post as the top democrat on the judiciary committee. Certainly a major step especially given that conyers has denied the allegations that have been brought to light and Media Reporting about settlements that have been made with staffers that have alleged Sexual Harassment. I think that its clear that conyers will continue to receive scrutiny with an Ethics Investigation pending, and i think that its definitely going to be a point of focus especially this week with the house voting on that resolution for the antiSexual Harassment training. Rick yeah. You talked about al franken walking a fine line today. Nancy pelosi did today as far as congress is concerned. Absolutely, yes. She stepped far short of
criticizing conyers, you know, saying one or two accusations and saying that he is an icon and been a champion for women. So certainly nancy pelosi not coming out and criticizing conyers, but at the same time saying she believed and hoped he would do the right thing. Then you have him hours later, of course, stepping down from that position. So i think were going to to continue to see him examined as this Ethics Investigation continues. Again, like franken, the question is will more of these accusations surface, you know, will he continue to have to, you know, deny them . Will he come out and show some, you know, some sort of guilt perhaps . Major questions especially with those accusations coming out more recently against conyers. Rick mo began, you mentioned morgan, you mentioned a possible vote on mandatory Sexual Harassment training in congress. It seems like it might be a little late for that. Well, i think this is their attempt, obviously, at trying to
stem the criticism, the outrage over all of this, these allegations. This is something thats been optional in the past but, obviously, theyre trying to make a statement with this resolution. Of course, its one of the many things that republicans in the house are focusing and the senate are focusing on in the coming weeks. Certainly, theres a major agenda, and this is just another thing theyve added to it. So i think its going to be a very, very busy end to november and beginning of december. Rick but it almost feels like were seeing a sea change down in washington. It certainly, these accusations and these women coming out so publicly, it cuts across various fields. I mean, weve seen it first in entertainment with harvey weinstein, in politics, you know, the Reporting Field as well. A lot of accusations made there. So i think its almost sort of a moment in the culture where
were having this big shift towards women, you know, coming out and feeling emboldened and being able to tell their stories. I dont think this is something thats going to go away with. I think its certainly been a major point of focus in recent weeks and again with this vote this week, its clear that congress is going to be putting the spotlight on it and, obviously, with these Ethics Investigations ongoing as well. Rick we started with al franken, lets finish with al franken. Is it your sense that he may or that he will survive this test . I think its a little too soon to tell at this point. Clearly, he is saying hes ready to get back to work and prove to people that they can trust him again and regain their trust. Hes very openly, you know, accepting blame in a way and saying that hes ashamed and really just making a point to try to move past this. But i think that it really depends on, you know, whether or not his allies, groups that have
already called on him to resign, whether theyre going to step up those calls, whether, you know, democrats are going to stand by him. I dont think that hes Out Of The Woods yet. Obviously, al franken, you know, these accusations started to come out right when senators left town, so thisll be the first week where theyre really back, and i think well know something in the coming days. But i dont think hes quite Out Of The Woods yet. Rick okay. We appreciate your time tonight. Thanks for having me. Rick monday is the deadline for people in alabama to get registered to vote in the Upcoming Senate election pitting roy moore against democrat doug jones. President Trump Blasting Jones On Twitter and offering some indirect support for moore. Senator john thune of south dakota says the president should have a very different message. The president , obviously, can speak for himself. But and i think he sees the specter of a democrat holding
that seat and what that might mean for his agenda, but the alternative, as i said, isnt good either, chris. As far as im concerned, the president to the degree that he wants to use his influence in this race could, i think, help everybody out by doing what he can to try and get roy mere to step aside roy moore to step aside. Rick marianne rafferty, how confident is doug jones tonight that he can beat roy moore . Reporter hi, rick. Doug jones didnt waste a Good Opportunity to talk to voters just before auburn pulled off a big win existence the crimson tide, the democrat was campaigning tailgate style to remind voters that he needs their support to score his own win against his rival, roy moore. I think were going to win. That thats all i know. Weve got a really great i mean, there are just thousands of supporters that have come out to work for this campaign. Weve been talking about all the issues that matter to people from the day, day one. You get sidetracked on other things, but weve been talking about the economy, weve been talking about health care. Those are the issues that people care about the most. And its resonating with us. Reporter and alabama native Charles Barkley voicing his support for jones and expressing his thoughts on moore even before Sexual Misconduct allegations surfaced. We got a lot of black people in this state who are amazing people. But to run a campaign with a guy as your Chief Advocate who is a white nationalist, a white separatist, that should have disqualified roy moore way before this women stuff came up. Reporter now barkley never pulley endorsed jones fully endorsed jones, but he made his opinion pretty clear to everyone. Rick . Rick if doug jones wins, it could impact the Balance Of Power in the senate. Reporter well, thats right. If jones wins, it would mean an even narrower margin for republicans in the senate which currently stands at 5149. But despite what happens in the
battle for this Alabama Senate seat, republicans are hoping to the push through the Tax Reform Bill before the end of the year. Now President Trump also weighing in on the importance of this race, tweeting earlier today i endorsed Luther Strange in the alabama primary. He shot way up in the polls, but it wasnt enough. Cant let schumerpelosi win this race, Liberal Jones would be bad. Meanwhile, we havent seen much of Republican Senate candidate roy moore the past couple of days in the wake of Sexual Misconduct allegations, but he does have plans to hold a rally tomorrow in fort payne, alabama. This is going to be the first one since November 16th when he didnt allow reporters to ask any questions about the allegations against him. Well see if he addresses the allegations this time around.

Reporter 33yearold Brendan Coffey is a Walking Embodiment of what has become a rare exception for the Catholic Church, a millennial choosing the priesthood. The life of a jesuit is countercultural. By todays standards, not a lot of people are getting in line for poverty, chastity and obedience. For me, it was falling in love with a commitment to service, a commitment to promoting a god who is deeply in love with his creation. Reporter over the last five decades, the Catholic Church in the United States has seen a steady decline in the number of priests and sisters according to Georgetown Universitys Center for applied
research. In 1965 there were nearly 59,000 priests in the u. S. And nearly 180,000 religious sisters. In 2016 the numbers have dwindlinged to just over 37,000 priests and just over 47,000 sisters. The decline in sisters is more significant because the number entering were much higher than priests, particularly after world war ii. There are so many who are now in their 70s, 80s, 90s. And so the steep decline each year is really accountable mainly to those who are dying and the smaller numbers who are entering. Reporter the lack of sisters is having an Economic Impact on catholic schools. Today the schools must employ more lay teachers at higher wages forcing tuitions to rise and fewer who can afford it. The smaller number engaged with students or young people does have a natural social consequence. Reporter brendan is one of 28 Jesuits Living and studying
