please remember the spin stops here in d.c. because we are definitely looking out for you. >> they are not going to shut me up no matter what. >> so who will he support in 2012? former presidential candidate herman cain is here for his very first interview since abandoning his bid for the white house. >> high drama on capitol hill. >> this was not an accident. >> frustrations flare as attorney general eric holder is grilled over fast and furious. >> this project was failed and flawed from the beginning. >> we have exclusive reaction to the explosive hearing from oversight chairman, darrell issa, and jon corzine heads back to capitol hill to answer tough

questions. >> i simply do not know where the money is. >> one thing i know about newt gingrich, of since he arrived on the national scene, politics has been nastier, and too often uglier. >> plus we expos the mainstream obama media relentless smear campaign, this time against presidential candidate newt gingrich. we are on the road to 2012, and "hannity" starts right here right now. >> on saturday the republican presidential field lost one of barack obama's most outspoken critics when herman cain announced he would end his bid for the white house. let's take a look. >> as of today, with a lot of prayer and soul searching, i am suspending my presidential campaign. i am suspending my presidential campaign because of the

continued distraction, the continued hurt caused on me and my family, not because we are not fighters, not because i am not a fighter. >> and joining me now right now in the studio for his very first interview since making that emotional announcement, the one and only herman cain. how are you? >> fine. happy to be here. >> seemed hard to do that. >> it was, and it was hard primarily because of all the supporters that i had gotten. i knew it was going to be very disappointing to a lot of people, and i personally was disappointed because we were making such great progress. but it boiled down to two words, family first. because of the false accusations and the media -- not everybody, but some -- they continue to spin and spin and re spin. >> it never went away. >> it never went away. and the other thing was i saw the pain it was causing my wife

and i wasn't going to let that happen. so it boiled down to family first. here's another thing about my wife a lot of people don't realize a lot of people will put the story out she told him to drop out of the campaign. no, she didn't. my wife is not that type of a wife for 43 years. she was going to leave that decision to me. before i got home that friday night, we were going to talk about it, i called her friday morning and said, sweetheart, i don't want this being done to you or the family anymore, i'm going to suspend this campaign. >> does suspend mean end? >> it means end. so now doubt. >> no more passenger? >> there are no plans to re emerge and here's why. if i was to re emerge then the spin is going to start all over again. and that's what gets hurtful when your wife and yourler have to continue to see the same false accusations spun over and over and over whenever someone does a story and they want to introduce you they start off

with the accusations. they were false accusations but they wouldn't go away. here's the other point. we also knew that because somebody was so determined to knock me out of this race, that there were probably going to be some more down the road. >> who do you think is doing it? >> i really don't know who is doing it. i think it could be coming from both sides of the isle, but i have no proof of that. but i'm convinced that the way it was done, the fact that they went after my character and they knew it would hurt my family, and i simply wasn't going to do that. >> you know, you have been adamant in your denials from the very beginning. >> yes, yes. >> so you are saying in america a series of false charges than prevent someone from running for president. >> yes, because. the course of public opinion. >> they sold the seeds of doubt. >> they sewed the seeds of doubt and understandably a lot of supporters and a lot of people

are going to still have that doubt. most people that i have run into and most people that i have talked to, they said that they believe me, they don't believe it, and as more and more comes out about these accusers, they see that there's no way that they could be telling the truth relative to what they are accusing. but once you put that little cloud of doubt, and it grows, it started to show in the polling numbers, it started to show in the drop-off in contributions, but most importantly, i can deal with the drop in the polls numbers, we could have got that back up, but it was the pane it was causing to my wife and my family, and i said i will find another way. see, i ran for president in order to be able to try to change washington d.c. from the inside. our government is broken. >> oh, yeah. >> all you have to do is look what's gone on. i decided rather than have my guy my family put through this, i am now going to change washington d.c. from the outside with the backing of the american people. >> you haven't given up on your desire?

>> no, not at all. >> when i last interviewed you, which was the thursday before you made the announcement that weekend, i said to you, herman, isn't it easily proveable, hotel receipts, video, you are out in public together, airplane tickets. >> they don't exist. they don't exist. >> how do you prove it? >> you said to me there's no reason to play detective. i don't know, i tried to put myself in your shoes. i'm falsely accused, saying i'm falsely accused, why wouldn't you want to get throughout and say show me the airline ticket? >> without compromising anything my attorney and i are working on, we are not done proving or demonstrating. >> there will be more? >> there will be more. but for now i am going to still be a voice, a very strong voice on behalf of the people who got me this far, the people who got me to be in that final four, as i call it. and the people i am going to be a voice, and we can talk about

that. >> are you planning on making a endorsement for any of the remaining candidates in the race? >> i'm in the process of making that evaluation. remember, as a business person i don't shoot from the lip. so i have some discussions i am going to have with several of the candidates and we have to see how far apart we are. >> who has sought your endorsement? >> let's just say that several of them, we have talked. >> have all of them? >> not all of them. >> many of them? >> many. >> have two of the top ones sought your endorsement? >> i have had conversations with two of the top ones. >> you are tough. >> but here's the thing, you know. as a businessman i want to look how far or how chose we are on solutions, of and ideas and this sort of thing. and i'm not going to do that quickly. i'm going to take my time. >> what might be next for herman cain? because i have no doubt that there is a tv radio future if you wanted one. >> right. >> what would be the next step

for you? >> well, obviously the doors to radio or tv, both doors are open. >> i already talked to the radio guys. that guy is not only wide open, slung open, i won't say who p. d. is, but everybody else -- >> people who know me have been very gracious. what i'm doing the next several days is considering all of these options because i want to create the biggest platform for me to continue to talk about the trifecta. replacing the tax code with 9-9-9, energy independent and national security because this administration has weakened our military and that's not good for the country. those are the first three i am going to be very vocal about all the way through this election and beyond. >> all right. now monday night you are going to be back on this program. >> yes. >> after the debate this weekend. >> yes. >> we will get your analysis, having been there, and i look forward to seeing you monday. >> that will be fine. >> herman, we really appreciate

it. thanks for being with us. >> happy to do it. >> and all the best. appreciate your time. >> see ya. >> high drama on capitol hill today as america's top cop, eric holder, faced some of the toughest questions yet on fast and furious. and the chairman darryl issa in my exclusive interview. that's next. >> look, i'm going to ask you a different question. >> can i answer that question? >> you've answer it had less than truthfully. >> can the questioner allow the witness to answer? >> madam, this is my time, i'm not yielding. >> i'm not. >> the gentlemen from california," mr. issa -- ÷ i couldn't concei this as a heart attack.

>> there were fireworks on capitol hill today as eric holder faced offer with the committee over fast and furious. >> mr. attorney general, the blame must go to your desk. >> i have treated this attorney general as a hostile witness because ultimately when he comes before us saying he's going to clean house, no house has been cleaned. >> would you grow this operation was reckless? it was a reckless operation on the part of the united states? >> i think the way it was carried out, i would say it was flawed, reckless, yeah, i would probably agree with that. >> more people are going to die probably. >> unfortunately, that's

probably true. >> and you have argued you have been oblivious and disengaged in this operation, and i buy that. >> the notion that i am oblivious to this is totally -- >> and joining me now for his first interview since participating in today's hearing is the chairman of the house oversight committee, congressman derek issa. thanks for coming back, sir. >> thank you for having me. we been blocked by the attorney general by getting the truth to the people, except through people like yourself. >> what's fascinating to me, it was very clintonnesque today when he said a lie is about intentions because you caught him in lies, is that not true? >> absolutely. and ben made it clear although he says he's willing to clean house, hold people accountable, he started talking about looking

at an entire career, not this just one action, as though terry brian's life is not grounds for dismissal, as though allowing weapons to get in the hands of the worst of the worst is not grounds for dismissal. he's even back is stepping from firing people at the center of this controversy. >> correct me if i'm wrong, congressman, roger clemens win before congress and he lied and he now has a trial upcoming, is that not true? >> absolutely, and even scooter libby, who said he didn't remember something was the grounds for the chief of staff to the vice president cheney ending up on losing his bar license and obviously going to jail. this attorney general is conveniently not remembering a lot of things or remembering a week and a month or somehow the same amount of time. >> is a lot of the remembrance only because of the background investigative work and they have not been forthcoming with that information? you have had to death it up on your own as the most transparent administration, it's not been forthcoming with documents?

>> they are not only not forthcoming, but today the attorney general made it clear he's not giving us all the documents our subpoena asks for. he selectively gave us the ones i guess that, quote, fit this narrow exception that he thinks is somehow in the law. and, you know, this was very nicks onesque or, you know, we could go through all the president's men, but he made the point that somehow they have this practice of not giving, while not sighting any constitutional privilege or executive privilege. he is simply not going to give us things which go to the very question of who knew, who approved in his office, you know, below him. he certainly is not going to give us answers to when he told the president about it, even though the president says he didn't know anything about it and now it turns out he did. the president says he has confidence, full confidence in the attorney general, and he's probably the last man left on earth that does. >> you are treating him as a hostile witness. you caught him in lies. can you explain to everybody

specifically what these lies are? are there going to be any consequences to an attorney general lying to congress? >> well, one of the unfortunate problems is we have to refer to the justice department for prosecution. >> yeah, that's going to happen. >> the american people are going to hold the attorney general possible. there will be a housecleaning either between now and the election or certainly one after the election. what we are going to continue doing, we are deposing witness necessary the days to come, finishing our evidence trail and we are going to send the package up and expect the president to respond to what is a clear process of mostly political appointees knowingly letting this happen. one thing that came out very clear today, sean, is there is a rahm emanuel moment that is obvious, that when it this happened they decided to be opportunist and use to to

explanned the gun database in four states and asking congress to expand nationally. very clearly they made a crisis and they are using this crisis to somehow limit or take away people's second amendment rights. >> that's the amazing thing, as the attorney general said today, the very thing he once bragged about is now going to fuel a cry wave for years to come. that in and of itself is not an admission. and intentionally, i didn't intentionally lied, i lied to you by my heart was in the right place. i can't imagine that flying in a court of law or before a grand jury. >> absolutely. he resisted being sworn in today,, which would limit the perjury question as to his own false testimony. but one of the other things he said straight up is no one lied to congress and no one lied in that let they're came to us that had to be withdrawn because it was factually correct. it's just not true and the very e-mails we have show that.

and more importantly, whistle-blowers are coming forward. they are printing over at justice various e-mails and documents and he they are getting them to our committee because they realize what is being be held is simply wrong. >> congressman, keep up the good work. >> thanks, sean. >> and thanks for being with us. >> thank you, sean. >> and you won't believe this story, $1.2 billion magically, mysteriously has vanished, and president obama's friend, jon corzine, says he has no idea where the $1.2 billion went. you don't want to miss this from today's hearing. and at news beginning continues to rise to the top of the polls, the liberal media launches a ruthless campaign smear against him.

>> former new jersey governor jon corzine was summoned to capitol hill today. mf global became the eighth largest bankruptcy in this country. he was asked how to explain $1.2 billion in client money just magically disappeared.

here's was his weak, pathetic answer. >> i simply do not know where the money is or why the accounts have not been reconciled today. while there are, mr. chairman, many transactions that occurred in those last chaotic days, and i am not aware of all those, nor do i have the information to be able to look at those transactions. as a consequence, it would be very hard for me to speculate why or where that shortfall took place. >> while it's very comforting now, isn't it? joining me with reaction, i'm sure he has some ridiculous spin on this, davis, and a national radio talk show host out of cincinnati, now has his own tv show syndicated, and how are you, mr. cunningham? you are a great american. >> it is a great, great night to

be an american. >> it is, but if you invested in mf global you are in trouble. corzine, the ceo, had no idea. i take full responsibility, i had no idea and i blame my press ses source. >> i don't think corzine is a thief, i think he's incompetent. when he ran the state of new jersey, he ran them into a tank and now we have a good government. and he did to that firm what he did to the state of new jersey. he regulates, regulates, and thd incompetent idiot. i take full responsibility but my predecessors caused this. sounds like somebody you know? maybe president obama? >> look, i'm very, very great fan of senator corzine. >> oh, that's -- >> come on, lanny, you can do

better that that. >> i can't help out in the box you put me in. he needs to explain this better and he has embarrassed himself and his family. >> bill clinton, your buddy, he was getting paid $50,000 a month, wasn't he? >> by corzine in. >> by mf global. >> what did you say, mf? >> that must really tick you off. >> this is a tragedy diand let's see what the facts are. we don't know what the facts are. >> he lost $1.2 billion, but obama has nearly $5 trillion in new debt. nearly $5 trillion in three years, so let's see what the president and vice president said about the great jon corzine, how great, brilliant, and economically sound he was. let's take a look. >> barack obama and i were literally sitting at a defense income a high-rise in chicago, beginning to plan how we would try to get this economy out of a ditch literally the first guy i called was jon corzine.

>> i literally picked up the phone and called jon corzine and said, john, what do you think we should do? >> for the past four years you have had an honorable man at the helm in this state. during one of the most difficult periods in its history. when it comes to the issues that matter most, like jobs, jon corzine has been a true leader. he was one of the best colleagues i had in the senate, but he's also one of the best partners i have in the white house. >> so what were we talking about? [laughter] >> you can find a sound bite that embarrasses anyone. >> wait a minute, the first guy called to fix the economy was the guy that lost $1.2 billion for his company. genius. >> as i said, this is a tragedy. >> this is a tragedy. >> that we shouldn't make light of. >> shouldn't make light of it? i'm not making light of it. look, i think in the end -- he may have made a mistake. billy cunningham, god bless you,

among your many talents you are an attorney. >> yes. >> i would have told them to shut up and not say a word today. >> i would have told that because another democrat is blagojevich, who is now doing 14 years in illinois. can you imagine if it was bush, they would have made the connection and in this case they would have made the connection between corzine, who might have been secretary of the treasury, and bush. if it was bush. because it was obama's, you don't see his name connected to blagojevich or corestein because it is so darn embarrassing to lanny davis democrats. >> you have blago and resko and corzine, solyndra, you have the whole green scandal, you have fast and furious. is there, you know, what was it on the presidency, a cancer beginning to emerge on the presidency here? >> if your viewers think this is a balanced presentation of the democratic party, i think that the democratic party right now

is tied with the republican party and we are winning on the issue of taxing millionaires -- >> you know what you are saying tonight, lanny? i love you, but uv said nothing tonight. >> if you think it's easy to be on the show with you two guys and say anything at all. >> we gave you plenty of time. why don't you just say this, i can't defend this, i'm done. >> i feel badly for senator corzine. >> i feel badly for the people who lost their money. >> i also feel badly that the american people, 80% support taxing billionaires and millionaires -- >> stop it, stop it. >> and i feel bad for the children that are going to have to pay back the $5 trillion and more of obama debt, mr. cunningham. >> look at it this way. taxes millionaires is a ruse because according to the government, that dog won't hunt. and the democrats can keep spending, as lanny davison wants them to spend. >> the first guy i call to fix the economy, john-$1.2

billion -- corzine. i love it. i take full responsibility but it's the other guy's fault. >> can i here one more time lanny davis democrat? >> lanny davis democrat. >> that's good. >> and congrats on your show. and the liberal media is trying to smear newt gingrich's campaign. this week special newt edition of media mash. you are going to love this. next. all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment.

[ laughs ]

>> welcome back to "hannity." time for the weekly roundup of all the ways the libbual media tries to put their spin on the news. they have set their sites on frontrunner newt gingrich. and with us is brent. remember a guy by the name of bill ayers? you remember, unre penitent

terrorist. he answered one question. there's some guy in the neighborhood. hung out with him a lot but some guy in the neighborhood. let's go back to 2008. what's the verdict here? is palin right to say obama is palling around with terrorists? the truth squad says no. this one is false. the two definitely know each other and had worked together, but there is no indication that obama and ayers are, quote, palling around or have an ongoing relationship. >> i think charles has a point that obama has kept some bad company -- >> let me again. let me finish. but if he loses the election because of that, it's disgraceful. if the republicans make that the issue at the end, it's a disgrace. >> it's a pull bore attack on obama's character, suggesting he's yellow, disloyal and doesn't be long. >> hung out with the guys, gave speeches with the guy, sat on boards with the guy, and started

his political career with the guy. >> this is the same media that spent investigating weeks a rock on a ranch that rick perry's did some hunting 20 years ago. this is a media that filed over 100 stories on newt and on herman cain and sexual allegations of sexual harassment even without a name. there are thousands of evening news stories during the primaries. guess how many stories there were on bill ayers? >> how many? >> not one. two mentions. the quotes that you saw came came in the general election when they finally covered bill ayers it was to attack republicans for having the audacity to bring up bill ayers. >> the one question he got was

from george stephanopoulos. george stephanopoulos was on my radio show the day before. when i brought up bill ayers and brought it to his attention, he didn't even know about it. >> how about this for a fact? >> and i got yelled at for taking a question from hannity. that's how the press covered tank you fed me a softball here. you first covered it in february of 2008. it took seven months for the networks to do a story after you broke it. >> did you look that up? i don't remember. >> we do our homework here. >> well, i'm glad you do. >> if not, we make it up. >> let's compare that to nbc regurgitating a 15-year-old bias for newt. let's make a comparison and say is your media fair? >> because of newt gingrich, in 1995 republicans re captured the house for the first time in 40 years. >> i am a genuine revolutionary. >> and working with president clinton, gingrich piled up real achievement, a balanced budget, a historic welfare reform.

but his speaker ship also was markedpy chaos, solarization, and after four years he was forced out by his own troops. >> you think why don't they give the same coverage to ayers? >> lisa meyers is a pretty good reporter but she went on to make two mistakes. she said twice gingrich closed down the government. there were 23 agencies that said that but gingrich never did. but get this, you heard hundreds of stories about the irs investigations into newt gingrich. here's the number for you. it was exactly 4,691 days ago that the irs came out with its results and they completely vindicated him of everything. everything. every charge against him. >> how many news reports? >> trivial. >> how long has it been since abc, nbc or cbs reported that

fact? 4,691 days? and they have yet to do it. i think there's no per time like tomorrow to do a story, even though there will be 4,692 days late. >> good point. let's go to the, especially nbc, appalled by gingrich saying poor children actually need role models who go to work and have a work ethic. they got worked up about this. let's watch this. >> the newt gingrich that a lot of folks will remember from his speaker ship days back in the '90s was back on decision playmaking statements about controversial issues that left some of his critics slack-jawed. the bad news on display, some suggest, when there is arrogance, when there is sort of a lack of discipline and putting out ideas about kids and child labor laws. and the times on sunday said has he not heard of the working poor? the problem isn't that these kids aren't working, it's that they don't have time with their

parents who often toil day and night at more than one job and earn next to nothing. >> just to use the line of gregory, some will will say that nbc is extraordinary left wing and liberal and the press secretary is for obama. >> he was not talking about the working poor,fs talking about the nonworking poor. but this is what happens when you go after the liberal welfare state. they open up with you. remember bill cosby. remember former governor of virginia when they had the audacity to question the in stir kids and say something has to be done about them. but these are snipers. these are political hit squads, these are assassins on rooftops waiting for newt gingrich to come around any corner and they will try to take his head off from here on out. >> they are basically the press operation for the white house. that's why journalism is dead in

america and that's why you are here every week to help point it out. >> thank you, sean. >> time to check in with greta for a sneak-peek what she has on the record today. that video you sent me earlier was the funniest video i have of season. are you going to air it? >> no, i was thinking of doing a special on it and just keep looping it. >> that's a great idea. >> we will have a two hour time slot, use your hour and my hour. >> any night you want my hour, it's yours. you got it. >> we are in so much trouble. actually we would both be looking for new jobs. but tonight new names get grilled on capitol hill. and speaker gingrich surprised us all. he said if he's president he will name ambassador bolten the secretary of state if he wants it. and plus we have another video at the end of the show. >> i hate when you do that. you save it until the end of the show and i have to wait and wait and wait. i want to see it early in the

show. >> well -- >> show the other one early in the show. >> that's the two-hour special tomorrow night. >> all right, greta. and 19 short minutes. let not your heart be troubled on the great, great, great american panel is next. i joined the navy when i was nineteen. i was a commissioned officer at twenty-three. i was an avionics... tactical telecommunications... squad leader. i think the hardest transition as you get further into the military is... you know it's going to end one day. chase hired me to be a personal banker. i'm a business analyst... manager. i'm very proud to work for chase. when you hire a veteran, you get... great leadership... decisiveness... focus. chase knows, when you hire a veteran, you're hiring america's best. chase is proud to help 100,000 veterans find jobs at home.
