again, thanks for watching us tonight. i'm laura ingraham. remember, the spin stops here. because we are always looking out for you. >> sean: and the media firestorm surrounding herman cain continues to escalate as there is word that at least two of his accusers will hold a joint press conference to discuss, quote, the specifics of their allegations. the attorney for one accuser made that announcement today. >> last night, gloria allred agreed to do a joint press conference with her client. my client has agreed to do a pretsz conference. we are going to reach out to the other women who have made it known that they were sexually harassed by mr. cain later

today. my client and i believe it would be helpful to the public in judging this matter to see as many of the women as possible together and hear the specifics. >> now, meanwhile, new details have emerged about joel bennett's client. according to the a.p., just three years after the allege incident with herman cain, she complained about a manager at her next job. that's as herman cain continues to deny any and all allegations of inappropriate maser. members of the media remain undeterred to crush his campaign's momentum. in recent days, many of their attacks have taken on racial overtones. with reaction to this disturbing trend, we have niger enis, a friend of herman cain and is the niece of dr. martin luther king jr. >> so great. >> sean: first of all, there was

a debate on c-nbc. they went after herman herman cs character and questioned his character for being president. the crowd universally boo'd and they asked mitt romney. they said, you used to run corporations, and would you hire herman cain? then the crowd boo'd. they said, let's get back to the economy. the crowd cheers. what does that tell you? >> i am not surprised. herman cain continues to show himself to be a leader. he brought the wonderful plan, 9-9-9, a good-looking solution to america's economic problem. so everybody else scrambled after he putted his plan on the table. but america looked into that plan and said, there is hope for us here. the 9-0-9, helping those who may be less fortunate than some of us right now. but he has a plan, definitely to bring everybody else on line for good quality of life. this is what america wants to hear. >> sean: i want to play for you -- because there is a question, even before these

allegations came up, the most vicious, vile, hurtful, hateful things were said about herman cain. i have a theory, i will give it to you when you get back, this is before the allegations, things said in the mede yai. i think he needs to get off the symbolic crack pipe. >> herman cain is the latest incarnation of what is totally false to the needs of our community and the needs of our nation. i think he's a bad apple. >> he seems willing to say anything in order to curry white favor. >> >> the people that he needs to win over in order to win a primary, those people do not want to hear from a black man who's aggressive, assertive, angry. they want to hear from a man who is assimilated, calm, measured. >> i think he makes that white republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy. i think he is giving that base a free pass. i think they like him because

they think he's a black man who knows his place. >> sean: a black man who knows his place. curry white favor. bad apple, symbolic crack pipe, before the allegations came up. why is herman cain juchr such a threat to liberal america? >> well, that's an excellent question. he is a threat to liberal america in the very same way that marco rubio, who is a latino conservative, is a threat to liberal america and to the establishment of the democratic party, not democrats, but the establishment of the democratic party, in the same way that sarah palin was a threat. and in all three cases, what you saw was not a debate on the issues, know a debate on their ideology or their policies, like 9-9-9, which totally changed the discussion and dominated the discussion around having

comprehensive tax reform. they went to character assassination. and the reason is this, sean, that herman cain as a black conservative, marco rubio as a latino conservative, sarah palin as a conservative that is a woman, is an existential threat to the psychology of the victimization that holds the liberal establishment and the democratic party establishment together. if herman cain -- herman cain is clarence thomas on steroids. they would say that clarence thomas was appointed. condoleezza rice, brill brilliant leaders at their time, were appointed. cain cane is getting sloat votes. this is tapping into the will of the american people. they are afraid of him. >> sean: they're afraid because it destroys the narrative of false lie that has been advanced for years that conservatives are racist. it shakes this to its core. all right.

now, let me throw this out there your uncle -- >> yes. >> sean: martin luther king jr. talked about a colorblind society, judging people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, words that resonate with people of good will around the world. right? these are the examples of the outrageous rhetoric. this is just one network. nbc -- i wonder if brian williams is proud of its network. one network and the things they have said since these allegations came up. >> we are going to see how open the guilt o.p. is to this -- their new black friend when they find out he is harassing blonde wim, as opposed to black women. that predatory black sexuallyity. >> look, i think it will be interesting to see if these guys rally around herman cain with as much ferocity, now that there is

another layer of the black sexually ult --ity has been infused. >> very jarring for the g.o.p -- for anybody, i think, to see a black man be sexually aggressive in an unwanted way toward -- especially a blonde white woman. >> does the party now wish he would just go away? >> there is no grand wizard in the party who can really force the issue. >> sean: new black fribbed, grand wizard, predatory sexuallyity. >> you know what? it's really jarring to the liberal establishment. what they are seeing is a man who says, to all americans, including african-americans, i want to give you an opportunity. i want to help you fish, rather than give you fish sticks. i know that america can be better for all of you. i have a plan that will help us to all prosper. so what is happening with the liberal establishment, they have to resort to gossip, you know, making the false accusations

because they cannot deal with the heavy, wonderful platform that herman cain is giving. you know, it's a race eye mean, it's a racial issue. why do they have to point out that these are blonde women? they are just women. what's the issue with the skin color of the women? >> sean: that's a good point. i want to give you a chance. >> well, yeah, on the one hand, there is no question that the... assassin, the attempted assassins of herman cain definitely did bring this up on the table because it go conjure up that old bug-a-boo, the black man in the stereotype. what they did not realize, they underestimated the decency of the american people. they underestimated the tea party revolution that took place and the citizens revolution that took place and the support that they have given to herman cain. you know, vigotten calls, from black, brown, white conservatives, tea party members

, constitutional conservative, not all of them support herman cain, but they know what is going on. i wish establishment-types like karl rove and others would follow the lead of the grass roots. they know what is going on. they know this is not just an attack on herman cain. this is an attack on the conservative movement. >> this is the civil wronged leaders, helping to try to do character assassination. herman cain is very steady, very focus focused, not attacking his accusers, but continuing to tell the truth. >> sean: thank you, both. alveda, so good to see you. you know when i was in atlanta, i got tow know miss hosea williams the moist who, was friends with your uncle. and i got to know joe lowrie and john lewis, we didn't agree politically, but i admire all of them and your uncle greatly.

and i am honored to have you here. >> i love those folks -- >> sean: they are wrong politically. >> they need to become civil rights leaders for real. >> sean: god bless. >> coming up, senator john mccain is here on the growing nuclear crisis in iran. it's text vote question night tonight. how do you think the herman cain campaign has handled the allegations? we will have more on the charges and how the media got slammed [ male announcer ] drinking a smoothie with no vegetable nutrition?

>> sean: and we'll continue to follow the latest developments on the ongoing media frenzy surrounding the herman cain sexual harassment story. but also, a new chilling report released by the united nations iaea agency, that's the international atomic agency t. reveals that iran is on the brink of having the capability to build atomic weapons. of course, iranian president is denying the claims raised in the report. appearing on state tv, he said iran would not retreat one iota from its nuclear program. what would a nuclear-armed iran

mean to the world. senator john mccain is here. welcome back to the program. >> thank you, sean. the reaction would be that other country, including saudis, egyptians and others would be on the path to acquisition of nuclear weapons t. would be dramatically escalatory. the american people need to know more about what the iranians have done. i.e.d.s have killed americans, nuclear weapons, playing in other regions. they declared our withdrawal in iraq a great victory. they are making trouble and there was a platabout their -- a plot to assassinate the saudi ambassador here. the american people need to be told how dangerous this threat is and the fact that the israelis may feel -- and i emphasize may -- feel compelled

to neutralize this threat to their existence. >> i don't think it should be israel. i think it should be the united states for the very reasons you discuss. they want an assassination on american -- they talked about putting ships right off our coast. it seems that at a time when the u.s. and israel ought to be more united than ever, we have never been more divided. that is, you know the recent comments by president sarkozy that he called netanyahu a liar. he was talking to president obama. obama said, well you may be sick of him, but i have to deal with him every day. you add to that, the '67 border fiasco and he left the prime minister in the white house, while he goes upstairs to eat dinner. we're not on the best of terms because of president obama. >> well, i think the remarks exchanged between sarkozy and the president are indicative of both of their attitude towards israel, by any measurement, the united states policy toward the

israeli/palestinian issue has been a total and abysmal failure, one reason being they insisted on settlement freezes on the part of the israelis and nothing on the part of the palestinians to start with. when the president backed off of that, the palestinians had to demand it. also, it's very important to recognize that eventually, netanyahu is the elected democratic leader of a democracy. i happen to be a great admirer of his, by the way. i think he's a very effective leader. i think that he has not been treated with the respect that he deserves. >> >> sean: that's pretty sad coming from america because we have a united interest to stop islamic extremism and president obama is doing everything he can do to alienate the prime minister who may have to make decisions without consulting the u.s. because he can't count on our support. you recently said that you predict the rise of a third political party in the country.

explain that. >> well, i think that right now, when you look at approval rating of congress is 9%. by the way, that's paid staffers and blood relatives. [chuckles] >> they are -- that, you know, we are not responding to the american people or if we are responding, we are not getting the message through. in my home state of arizona, we now have voter registration of one-third, one-third, one-third and the greatest increase is in the independents. if you have a large block of registering independents, they will find a homef if they can't find it in the republican and democratic party. so i worry. i worry a lot about... the future of the republican party because i still think our principles, our values and our ideals are the best by far. but do i worry about this anger out there that is really palpable. >> sean: i want to ask you without dragging you into herman

cain's specific issues. i want to ask you because of your background and experience in running for office -- i thought you were too nice to president obama in the last campaign. it's probably because you are a nicer person than me. and i felt it was a really legitimate story on the bill ayers issue. you decided not to make that a big part of the campaign, same with jeremiah wright, you didn't make that the biggest part of the campaign. with that said, when you hear the president say that this republican plan is for dirtier air and dirtier water and that poor people can't get health care, when you hear the attacks against all the republican canned -- candidates, when you hear the democrats leave the super committee because they want to use it for political reasons, do you think republicans -- special maybe in retrospect, maybe you should have been tougher? maybe these candidates need to be tougher with obama, because it seems there is no limit to

which they will sink to win an election? >> well, i hate to revisit my campaign all over again. but i really felt that the economic issues, the issue that we brought up with joe the plumbir. the fact that the president wanted to redistribute the wealth. i thought that those were issues that required the majority of my opinion. i haven't seen any presidential candidate, and maybe it's just a lack of memory, but i haven't seen a presidential candidate say the things that the president has been saying this early on in a way that he's been saying it when it is an outright falsehood to say that republicans are blocking his jobs' bill. the democrats won't vote for his jobs bill. we have alternatives, in fact a bunch of us introduced it today, we have an alternative jobs plan. he says we don't have t. we have a plan to get america back on track economically and that's the key issue. and we keep -- you can't forget,

sean, that for two years, he had a 60-vote majority in the senate most of the time, overwhelming majority in the house and they passed all of this legislation and it was an abysmal failure. so, no, i don't like the president is using at all. >> sean: i think you are nicer than me. >> i don't think so. but i think that i thought that was the most effective way. and maybe you are right because i didn't win. > sean: there is a much biggr picture. senator, thank you. >> thanks for having me on. >> coming up, so much for all of that transparency, more on the obama administration's refusal to provide solyndra-related documents, demanded under a congressional subpoena. we will have the latest. but first, the governments are falling and failing and economies are collapsing all over europe. so could the effects of the euro's own debt crisis be coming to your pocketbook? to your pocketbook? look, every day we're using more and more energy.

>> all over europe, leaders are falling like dominos in the face of their countries' financial woes. but could this crisis soon spread to the shores of america? the dow had a horrible day,

closing down nearly 400 points and in washington, the congressional super committee is a mile away from compromise. on my radio show, senator rand paul broke the news that the committee democrats walked away from the negotiating table. joining me for the latest on all of this. monica crowley, who we we have to teach to throw a football, when she fills in on friday. >> totally. >> sean: just throw it once from the fox business new york. >> this is my rocket arm, ready? >> sean: oh, my gosh. >> not too bad. that's like sonny jergenson. >> sean: i don't think i have seen anything like this debate. the people asking the questions i. oh, my goodnesses. >> sean: they asked about herman cain. they were roundly boo'd, loudly

by the crowd. then they asked another question of mitt romney, would you hire herman cain? boo'd. then they say, let's get back to the economy, the crowd cheers. this happened again and again. what does this tell you? >> i think there are a couple of things going on, sean. first of all, i think the american people at large, not just the republican audience watching the debate, but the american people are sick of political correctness and attack politics. this country has grave problems. we're cruising to $15 trillion in the national debt. we have a 9% unemployment rate. we have a housing sector in collapse. the american people are suffering. more people in poverty and on food stampings. these questioners today are focused on something that may or may not have happened 15 years ago. that's been answered. >> sean: this -- we are going to look back on this moment where the media now is on defense. not only has the country chosen

chosen -- chosen to not tune them in, but they are openly mocking them right to their face. it's a big moment. >> first of all, the tone was so -- i couldn't even believe the tone of the whole thing, the panel. it was so -- so vicious, so vitriolic, it was dumb and mean spirited. i couldn't understand the tone of it all. these are supposed to be business people. >> i betcha every media elite in the country watched this and they will be on their best behavior because they don't want to be humiliated like this. >> we hope. >> sean: let me go to the economy. ity low's bankrupt, greece is bankrupt. other countries like germany bailing them out. they are furious about the idea of doing t. spain not far behind. portugal not far behind there. raising the question tonight, should we be bailing them out? >> yeah. no, that is -- that was another thing. they were upset that the republicans wouldn't bail out italy! now we got to bail out italy?

i was so proud of slovakia, they said, we are not going to bail out greyings because we work every day. we pay taxes. we are going to bail out greece? now we want -- who's connecting the dots here? realistically, we do have our own problems. but we talk about the notion of people falling, getting back up on their own feet and accountability. europe has put themselves in a position after 30 or 40 years of trying to make socialism look like it works and it doesn't. >> the consensus on that stage was, i don't care if it was romney, newt, cain, perry, santorum, crew the board, this is a simple -- we have to solve our own fiscal problem. you want to solve the housing problem, create jobs. the housing demand will go up. >> it's basic free market economics. but the free market has been stifled for a number of years, certainly the last 3 yeer years since the democrats controlled the white house and both houses of congress.

what the republicans are arguing tonight and what they all have been in their campaigns is you have to unleash the private sector. have you to unleash every american and give them the tools of the government getting out of the way, give them the tools to go and prosper and create and innovate. that has been suffocated by high taxes, uncertainty and all of these regulations like obamacare. >> with papandreou out and berlusconi out and literally now, a real crisis emerging... do you foresee -- what is the worst-case scenario. obama's going down the path of socialist europe am i don't think we grg to stay on that path because i think obama is a one-term president. but is this a worldwide depression? >> christine legard was in china, she tried to use scare tactics with china, saying, hey, we are going to go into a worldwide depression if you don't fork over some of this $3 trillion that you are sitting

on. they used the same fear and guilt that sometimes work in america, has worked in europe. the world is on fire -- >> sean: do we want china in charge -- >> this is the opings right now that europe has and the options we have on this path. yes, you will have to take mon from shine anda, if you don't want to suck it up. if you can't accept this form of austerity, but ultimately, you will pay the price. have you borrowed and you have taxed the greatest citizens and taxed away the wealth, scwawpderred it all, greece, italy, spain, portugal. you must pay a heavy price. the longer you wait, the bigger the price. >> sean: not one u.s. taxpayer dollar -- >> some of it will be. >> sean: because of the imtf. >> and they are talking about special funds. believe me, we are going to put more mony into this than anybody wills,. >> sean: if we do, we are throwing good money after bad. it's like the car companies. let them go bankrupt and

restructure and let them come back stronger. >> there have to be consequences to bad choices. >> sean: great night. media bombarded with boos. >> congressional investigations may have uncovered the moking gun in the solyndra scandal. emails have been discovered that show a top obama donor was in close contact with the administration officials about the half billion-dollar loan. sounds like a quid pro quo. we will ask about the media ♪ our machines help identify early stages of cancer, and it's something that we're extremely proud of. you see someone who is saved because of this technology, you know that the things that you do in your life matter. if i did have an opportunity to meet a cancer survivor, i'm sure i could take something positive away from that.

>> sean: so it was supposed to be the most transparent white house in history has slammed the dear on the investigators looking into the solyndra scandal. they reportedly plan to ignore a subpoena related to documenting in the matter and now we are learning why top obama aides are

being so uncooperative. according to cliff stearns, new documents revealed today, show that the white house misled investigate investigator on whether anyone knew about the half billion-dollar loan. according to an email, solyndra kim up in a meeting in d.c. with administration officials and that all of them assured kaiser, quote, it was one of their prime poster children. oh and by the way, george kaiser happens to be one of barack obama's top campaign donors. here with more details on today a document dump, the author of the number-1 best seller, culture of curpgz. before i get to that... tonight was history. earlier had this debate with the republican candidates, when the media tried to attack herman cain, they were boo'd. nearly boo'd off the stage. they tried to drag mitt romney in.

boo'd. they said they were going to get back to the economy -- cheers. and it was -- at other moment this is happened. what does this tell you about where we are in terms of media, the impact of media bias now over the years and people's -- awareness of it? and the willingness to call them out in person on it? >> yeah. sure. well, it's the conservative movement's own up on debate movement. [chuckles] >> it's about time! really, finally, finally, we are getting a visceral reaction tofrom conservative who is are sick and tired of allowing liberal media types who are completely hostile to conservative ideology to be the ones to pick who our candidates are. it's clear in so many of these forums over the past several months. do what do we have? more than a dozen left to go. they have no interest in actually plumbing the records versus rhetoric of these

candidates. all about playing gotcha and garnering as much buzz and eyeballs and web traffic for many of these outlets that are running these debates. i mean, how many times over the course of, not just this election cycle, but the last one as well, have conservatives been left scratching their head, wondering why it's left to the likes of these left wing nut balls to conduct these debates and? and so all i can say is thank you, thank you to every single one of the people in that audience that rose up and spoke out. >> sean: it was a really great moment. it's going to be interesting to watch how careful now in the future debate, the liberal media's going to have to tread on baroque blown broken glass, scared to death they are going to be humiliated. we have a pattern, fast & furious, stonewalling, document dunches late friday afternoons. now what we expected from the beginning, solyndra, $535

million. $35 billion taxpayer totals total on the green energy scam. now we see big bundlers and big donors to obama. they did get the access to the white house prior to getting the money, is it a kickback? is it a quid pro quo? is it the chicago way? is it a bribe? what's the accurate adjective? >> smells like all of the above to me. we had multiple denials from this white house that george kaiser, the obama bundler and biggest investor in the failed solyndra boondoggle had any contact with the white house at all about the loan deal. and the emails that were just released today by cliff stearn and it is house and energy commerce committee, clearly undermine and sabotage all of those denials from the white house. looking at the heavily redacted emails, at least we know that george kaiser and ken leavitt, who was the head of the kaiser

foundation, were bragging about meeting in the white house about the stimulus recovery team and were talking about the department of energy loan and a possible other deal that involved a $400,000 contract for the navy that they were angly forward. they were bragging that the white house considered solyndra know one of its quote, prime poster children, unquote. and all of this has to be said in the context of this great stonewall of obama that's been built on all of these festering scandals, including fast & furious, which eric holder was on the hot seat this week. but it brings to light all the obstructionism. they are allergic to sunlight and subpoenas. >> sean: and what happened to the transparency?

media got boo'd, whether they asked herman cain with his character and they used the words, weil go back to the economy, the crowd erupts into cheer. newt gingrich did it, mitt romney did it. they slammed the media and it was open season on a liberal media. fascinating night. now, herman cain before these allegations, we ran this earlier, i am going to run this again. this is what they had to say about herman before the allegations came up. is this the reason that the media's getting boo'd? >> i think he needs to get off the symbolic crack pipe. >> herman cain is the latest incarnation of what is totally false to the needs of our community and the needs of our nation. i think he's a bad apple. >> he seems willing to say anything in order to curry white favor. >> the people that he needs to win over, in order to win a primary, those people do not want to hear from a black man who's aggressive, assertive, angry. they want to hear from a man who

is assimilated, calm, measured. >> i think that he makes that white republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy. i think he is giving that base a free pass. and i think they like him because they think he's a black man who knows his place. >> sean: cnn and ms-nbc wonder why they have no audience? why threaten him before the harassment issues come up? >> when the you look the at the african-american community, attacking their own, it goes to the fact that he's a conservative. they don't like that he's a conservative african-american. it goes against what the majority of african-americans believe in -- >> sean: he's a threat? >> absolutely. i have so many conservative african-american friends that actually stay quiet because they don't want to have this confrontation with the liberal democrats. at the end of the day, as the republican candidates are doing, presenting solutions for the communities so that the minority

communities can get out of welfare, find jobs and have opportunity here in america. >> sean: this is disgraceful. >> it's coming from everybody. this is-- the republican establishment -- >> sean: no, give me an example of a republican who said anything similar to what you just heard. >> what do you mean? they are coming at him from a different angle? >> sean: curry white favor, symbolic crack pipe, bad apple. >> howard dean went through the exact same thing -- >> sean: he did not! >> yes, he did. the right thought he was crazy, the establishment in the democratic party wanted to do everything they could -- >> sean: i am talking about -- >> it's the same thing here -- >> sean: attacks against women, michele bachmann, sarah palin, and now it's against african-american americans because they threaten the narrative of the left, which has been full of lies about conservatives for new. >> they can't allow new narratives about women and blacks to take place f. they do,

it destroys everything they had been working on. now marco rubio. >> absolutely. they have to take these folks down because he's a new latino, hispanic -- whatever. herman cain is siting there as a guy who grew up in georgia. barack obama grew up in hawaii and indonesia and came to california and ended up in columbia. >> barack obama is elected president. juan williams said he cried that night because of the historical significance. all right. would it be good for america and show that america was able to right wrongs, correct injustices and evils because of the wisdom and insight of our founders and another african-american is elected i. right! >> sean: this is a conservative. >> right. and show that -- not everybody all thinks the same -- >> sean: no -- >> skin color or something. that matters. >> in spite of being an african-american mom, i want my kids to look at herman cain and

say, this is a guy who came from nothing, who went up the corporate ladder who did what -- did his job -- irvetion his mother's a maid. >> he has that incredible success story. and you know, you want your children to look at these sort of figures to say, this is what we need. we want success in our communities, not government handouts, want stay in the position we are in. but how can we have -- >> the character's being attacked from the other side, with all of the sexual harassment stuff that you can't -- >> sean: look, i am going to prove you wrong on that, too. when we get back. i am going to show you what they are saying and who is saying it. the most incendiary things regarding race -- predatory black sexuality, talking about blonde women. i mean, this is outrageous, what is being said about him. >> that's true -- >> sean: predatory -- >> it's coming from -- >> sean: the left! it's coming from nbc news. >> it's coming from the republican establishment and the

left. it's coming from everybody. >> sean: i am going to prove you wrong. >> i think this is an inside washington game? >> i think washington, d.c. doesn't want anything to do, they want to nominate romney and crown him and get him one on one with obama as quick as they can. this is an inside washington parlor game. >> sean: tonight's a night of history. time will prove me right. straight ahead with our great,

remember when christmas was magical? let's get back there. santa's wonderland at bass pro shops has what we've all been missing, with the arcades, elves and even a free picture with santa.

>> sean: time to reveal our text vote results. we asked how you thought the campaign has handled the sexual allegations? >> thanks for voting. we continue now with our great american panel. all right. we played you before -- this is important, what is being said about herman cain. now, you will notice that this is -- you keep saying, i want you to think, i am going to give you time to come up with an answer -- give me an example. you said both parties are doing this to herman cain -- >> who do you think leaked this stuff? >> sean: we don't know. >> that's my point -- i think it was the republicans. >> sean: you can say. >> in washington who want to get him out -- >> sean: fiwrote the word assume, what would i say? you can't assume. it's an intelligent guess, i'll

agree. >> okay. >> sean: who else? >> obama? >> sean: maybe. >> okay. >> sean: aren't there strange coincidences -- with all the women in chicago, she happens to live in the same building -- >> we had this yesterday with block on your show and started throaferring around charges, the son of one of the accusers worked for -- >> sean: no, he was wrong with that. i even said, did you confirm that? >> but you don't know if it's true. >> sean: we do know that of all the people who live in chicago, she happens to live in axelrod's building. >> but there are a bunch of people behind cain who would like him out of the way. there is a republican establishment that thinks he can't win and don't want to take a chance on him, they would like to get him out of the way to get to their guy, romney. >> i think they want to consolidate. >> at this point, it's too late. the damage is done. he needs to figure out a way to solve the problem. what high didded with the press conference yesterday didn't do enough. one of the things that i think

he needs, he needs his wife and family to go out there. his wife needs to say, i support my husband, he's a man of great character. >> be on 60 minutes and say -- what do you think i'm going to stand by my man like bill clinton? >> sean: let me run this video here. this is what they have been saying since. noit notice, most of this is nbc news again. >> we are going to see how open the g.o.p. is to this black -- their new black friend when they find out he's harassing blonde women, as opposed to black women. that predatory black sexuality. >> i think it will be interesting do see if these guys rally around kahn cain with as much forassity, now that it's clear that a whole other layer of the black sexuality has been infused into this i. very jarring for the g.o.p., for anybody, i think to see a black man be sexually aggressive in an

unwanted way toward -- especially a blonde white woman. >> does the party now wish he would go away. >> well, there is no grand wizard in the party right now who can really force the issue. >> sean: gndndndnd wizard. black -- praddatory black sexuality. blonde. >> can't we keep the race talk out of it? obama has failed to do that he puts the race talk into everything. seriously, it doesn't matter whether she is blonde, brunit, black, white. >> i agree. i don't get it. i just don't get it. >> sean: they are your friends, trip py, the liberal mede yai. hey, sean, didn'tue know, if the allegations are true, too bad he didn't consummate of any of these affairs and get the nomination and be in the oval office. >> sean: ouch! any response to that? >> no! i think -- laught. >> i think the whole thing -- >> sean: no. [chuckles] >> i am not going to intnd to
