we are at the bottom of the hour on krnz cnn. talking about herman cain and calling black voters brainwashed. we'll have that conversation in just a moment. give you a look, though, at some of the story making headlines. hamid karzai says peace negotiations have to go through pakistan. a suicide bomber with ties to the taliban assassinated a senior afghan leader last month. that leader was spearheading the peace process. back here in the u.s., 15 people have foi now died from that listeria outbreak traced to tainted cantaloupes pt the cdc expects the outbreaks to get worse because the bacteria can incubate in the body for up to two months after exposure. so that means a lot of people could be infected right now, just aren't feeling sick just yet. new hampshire is moving up its primary and the secretary of state isn't ruling out the possibility it could happen by the end of the year.
10:33 am
yes, in december or possibly in mid january, it's the first move of an expected multi state domino effect after florida decided to push its primary up to january 31st. well, presidential candidate herman cain knows how to grab the spotlight, doesn't he? he got a lot of attention this week for a number of reasons. this week on "the situation room" with wolf blitzer he has a lot of people talking and a lot of people upset. >> why is the republican party basically poisoned for so many african-americans? >> because many african-americans have been brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view. i have received some of that same vitriol simply because i am running for the republican nomination as a conservative partnership so it's just brainwashing and people not being open-minded, pure and
10:34 am
simple. >> joining me now to talk about herman cain's surge this week, our political players and friends, maria cardona and lenny mccall sister. as we always do, what was your political highlight of the week? >> up to that, t.j., it was all will she or won't she. this week, it was will he or won't he. chris christie, will he jump in to save the gop? >> wow, she came with a little rhyme this morning. lenny, what was your highlight of the week? >> you know, i've been trying to figure one out, but over the last seven days, i've been preoccupied taking off my house shoots and putting on my marching boots after the worst speech a president could give in american politics. >> all right. fwor both of you, lenny, let me start with you this time. you and i have talked about this on some of your radio shows
10:35 am
before, this topic. did he have a point that needs to be examined and he just said it in not the most articulate way? >> he said it in a very most direct way he possibly can say it, but it's a very true statement. listen, african-americans, particularly after that speech last week by the president, if they're not looking at both sides of the aisle now and realizing that democrats take them for granted and this president takes them for granted, i don't know what it's going to be. and if that's not the case, then it is, what, nothing more than brainwashing. with that said, there's a caveat that herman cain has to make sure he articulates, as well. republicans have to give african-americans a reason to look republican. herman cain hasn't talked about process pairpy that will uplift urban america, either. now, if he started sailing those things in a way that president obama hasn't, he's on to something. >> maria, let me get you in here. we can talk about the week that
10:36 am
herman cain had. many people have jump odd him and called him bigoted and racist. >> he did say if he got elected and went to the white house, he would bring a lot of humor. i kind of put this in that category, the brainwashing, black walnut ice cream. i think it's humerus. but i think if herman cain does believe two-thirds of african-american voters are brainwashed, he should go back to his own party and reprimand their own party for not knowing how to speak to african-americans, for not knowing how to speak to latinos and for not helping make these communities prosper by creating jobs. >> maria, it sounds like you were saying, yes, he could bring some humor, even though he has á7hté06z in some of the&8-quuué still consider him a viable candidate? know, that remains
10:37 am
to be see. that's all up to the gop voters. i, in my gut, i really don't think that he will be, after the end of the process, which clearly is probably going to start a lot sooner than we you a expected, i don't think he's going to be on the top tier. >> lenny, let me get you back in here on the president. the administration wanting the supreme court to take up the issue of the health care law, which has been taken up in several courts around the country. that would come sometime next summer, in all likelihood, right in the middle of the presidential race. no matter how it comes out, is this what the president wants in the middle of a campaign, all of us talking about the health care law? >> i would think no. i would think that he doesn't want this. the bottom line is, if anything comes down from the supreme court, a supreme court that leans conservative right now, there's going to be something that comes out that shows that the way this xaim came about was against what we do in america.
10:38 am
just the whole process of this, the whole idea of forcing americans to buy a product for the first time in american history does not look good on a president after facing high unemployment numbers, a slow economy. he is insulting his own voting block in african-americans and he's face ago tough republican, i hope it's going to be somebody that can talk to the middle. if he's facing all those things at the exact same time, he does not want something coming down from the supreme court on one of the most controversial issues in the administration. >> but maria, if the president takes this to the supreme court and they uphold the law, a lot of people are saying, this is reminding me of why i didn't like this law. even if they go and he loses, people look at the president and say, you see, we told you this was something you shouldn't have been doing. >> but if you look at it on the flip side, t.j., it's going to give him an opportunity to -- and i believe the white house does believe this will be
10:39 am
upheld. most of the federal courts have upheld it. it will give him and the administration abdomen opportunity to talk about why he pushed this through in the first place. give coverage to 30 million americans who did not have health care coverage before is no small feat. this is something the american people said they wanted. frankly, if you look at the polls, a lot of the numbers in terms of the liberals and the progressive side as to why they didn't like this particular plan was because they didn't think it went far enough. but at the end of the day, they will support it bass it goes further than any republican plan, if there is one, to give americans something that isn't credibly important. that is health care coverage. >> all right, guys, going to wrap this up. i've got about 60 seconds here. i want you to name names on this one. with florida moving up its primary, let's say new hampshire moves up its primary. let's say south carolina moves up its primary and iowa and we're voting in december, who is
10:40 am
helped? who is hurt if they have to start voting so early? lenny, you go. >> who is helped, herman cain possibly moving into a number two spot competing with marco rubio. who is it going to hurt? it's going to hurt perry. all this muck he's creating on himself he's going to have less time to wash off. from the stpd of a front-runner, it helps romney. it hurts rick perry or anybody else, including christie or sarah palin who might really be thinking about jumping into this race, which i don't think either one of them are. but in terms of perry, he does not have any organization in these other states and to lenny's point, i completely great, all of this controversy will make it harder for him to walk away from them. >> that is a wonderful note to end on. i have never heard her say in this segment with lenny, i
10:41 am
