herman cain comes along. he could have been covered as a sensation, a tea party sensation, as was michele bachmann. instead, what did we learn about herman cain? we learned allegations of a marital infidelity. interesting. in journalism, there is a rule that is sack cro sank. if you don't have two sources, you don't have a story. if you don't have two sources, don't report a story. think about this. there was, i believe i think it was, 78 national network stories on herman cain's alleged infidelities without a single source. there were over 110 stories, i believe it was in two weeks, beyond an avalanche of coverage on herman cain. that's what america got to know about herman cain. rick perry, nevermind that as a governor he has arguably the single greatest most successful track record of any governor in america today. he was an idiot. he was a doofus. two-pus-two was a challenge for -- two-plus-two was a challenge for this man. then the rock. the rock with the "n word" on the ranch in 1982 when his parents we

what we heard about herman cain? we heard about the marital infidelity. in journalism there is a rule nellis sacrosanct. if you didn't hear to sources you didn't have a story. i believe it was 78 national network stories on the alleged infidelities without a single source. i believe it was in two weeks which is beyond enough lynch of coverage. he has the single most track record of any governor in america today. two plus two with a challenge from this man we all know about that rock and would be making it 82. when his parents were on vacation the one that the painted over because they found it offensive. a little bit of racism going on there. they don't like him and she's given an interview to a network to say it's. there is a stop the press story for you. rick santorum. ladies and gentlemen did we know who karen santorum was beating before she ever met rick -- dating before she ever met racket and more importantly did the children need to hear these stories? did have any bearing on the presidential race other than to smear rick and karen santorum? mitt g

fox news contributor herman cain joins us. >> thank you very much, greta. happy to be with you. >> tell me, sir, why would anyone work if you make more money getting benefits or welfare or public assistance than if you work a minimum wage job? >> only reason that someone would work when they can get that much off of welfare and public assistance is that their self-respect exceeded the amount of the benefits. the good news is i have known some people who, even though they could have matched their minimum wage income, would rather take that rather than the benefits. and the reason, greta, is quite frankly -- >> the problem, though, sir, is that some people can't afford to have that so-called self-respect you have because they're sort of down and out. i mean, yes in the grand scheme, it's much better to have some of the self-respect about having a product. but you've got four little kids at home or something. you're going to have yourself respect and work at a job or make more money -- do benefits and do more for them? >> well, in that particular case that you

sonny johnson, african-american conservative, camille foster, ben cars on, allen west, herman cain, tim scott, where is tim scott? why not put tim scott up there. that's all you need. some other -- >> good comments. >> it may have been that the people that organized this, clearly these are all progressive democrats. let me go back to a great point about the war. dr. king came out shortly after this, actually '65 against the war in vietnam and ripped apart his movement. his movement was nonviolent. what came was first of all, black muslims and malcolm x and his assassination, then rise of the black panthers and others. king is in a very difficult spot. he was advised not to come out against the war, to keep his focus on jobs and justice and doing away with civil rights barriers, barriers to civil rights. i think it was a difficult time for him. i had opportunity once when my dad worked with dr. king, i had a chance to meet him one time. he was such a powerful force when he walked into a room, i couldn't say anything, as you know is unusual for me. >> amazing. >> dr. king broke down the b

president obama other democrats did speak herman cain says he knows why this simply wasn't an over sight. >> because he is a conservative republican you would think the only black sten tore and united states senator from south carolina one of the states that was the hotbed of segregation during the civil rights movement would have been invited. i know senator scott and i know that he would have moved heaven and earth in order to be there if he were invited. >> scott wrote a column where he said the march shows that americans need to come together and continue to moving forward. >>> johnny football suspended for half a game by the ncaa. texas a&m quarterback and heisman trophy winner johnny man zell will reportedly sit this saturday. he was investigated for an autograph scandal. the ncaa says there was no evidence manziel took money but violated the rules by signing certain photographs. meet justin timberlake's biggest fan a brain surgery survivor. he was on his way to a radio interview when he met her mom and told him about her daughter. he asked mede item immediately meet her. even thou

and who could forget herman cain?andidate who could so easily target a woman for apparent sexual harassment, but had so much difficulty when it came to locating libya. you see, the real problem for the chairman of the rnc is not that his candidates were given too few opportunities to express themselves. but that they were given too many. and that's why mr. priebus wants to sensor certain networks. but i have a personal proposal i would like to put to him. if he's so bothered about a democratic candidate being given too much preferential coverage, then here's a possible solution. mr. priebus should agree that every republican debate will be aired on this network and chaired by this network's anchor, chris matthews, and every democratic debate should be featured on fox news with fox news anchors at the helm. then there would be no censorship, no abridging of the first amendment. though i suspect that if republicans put up the same standard of candidates as they did last year, then the result will be exactly the same. an

i saw herman cain on twitter last night complaining that senator tim scott from south carolina was not so this really is a missed moment. if this gop is going to remain a national party, it will have to broaden its tent. it will have to reach out to african-americans, to hispanics, to lgbt community in meaningful ways and speak to the issues that are most pressing to them in ways that will resonate. they have failed to do that. and yesterday's march was just one more missed opportunity. >> and see, joe, and senator scott was invited to attend, not speak yesterday. and, again, this was a commemoration for the nation. three presidents, including the sitting president, the leaders of the party invited to come and speak. the two former republican presidents invited to speak. this clearly wasn't something they could have done. fine. saturday we had -- we wanted to take positions, issues they may not have agreed with. yesterday was not that but let me show you something. eric cantor, where was he? this is amazing. we learned he chose to meet with oil industry lobbyists in north dakota instea

michele bachmann who ran, herman cain. the republican party is not a serious problem.ld trump considers himself a republican and the republican party dent distance themselves from him, mitt romney embracing him shows how far off the deep end the gop has become and i think a huge problem for the republican party. >> keith, keep doing us that favor. you just discount it and we will keep going around with our serious candidates. >> susan, you want him out, right? >> donald trump? i don't think he is ever getting in. there is nothing to get out. i would prefer him not bringing up silly matters such as the president's birth certificate on television and doesn't do us any favors but, again, this is what he does. every so many months he raises his profile in republican politics and goes away because he is not taken seriously. >> we have to go. thank you both. have a good day. >>> checking news feed. day five of deliberations earned a way in the racketeering trial of mob boss whitey bulger. jurors asking a question to the judge on the racketeering charge. bulger faces 32 count

joining us, herman cain. good evening, sir. >> hello. how are you? >> some republicans were invited. president bush 43 who is recovering from surgery, speaker boehner out of town at another event earlier, and majority leader eric cantor. a lot of spotlight on the only african-american u.s. senator, tim scott, republican for south carolina, not asked to speak. why not? >> because he is a conservative republican, pure and simple. you would think that the only black senator in the united states senate from south carolina, one of the states that it was hot bed of segregation during the civil rights movement, would have been invited. i know senator scott and that i know he would have moved heaven and earth in order to be there if he were invited. the fact of the matter is the entire commemoration had a very liberal flavor to it. that's why senator scott was not invited. >> is there any chance it was just like, sometime things happen, there are oversights for whatever reason. i've made blunlders myself. or was it a deliberate slight because of his politics

because you can have the most racist white folks in the world but you bring in a herman cain or a dr.enicarson, is it a black man who looks and votes like them, they've got no problem. >> i would say you have to combine race with class. i don't think that you could leave class -- >> john: the other thing we can't talk about. >> you can't leave class out of the equation. but the republican party has wised up. they saw what the united states census bureau said. 2035, 2045, it is coming soon. white americans will be the minority in the united states of america. so if you're look at the numbers and you're a republican -- you're the republican party, numbers don't lie. you're not going to have enough people to vote unless you do that okey-doke red district stuff where you're -- >> john: gerrymandering, cubist painting. >> that's some shenanigans. >> john: that's also them counting on the fact that latinos will be conservatives de facto because they're catholic, right? >> the last presidential election did not say that was true. >> john: exactly right. that's the war the g.o.p. has with the

they had clips with herman cain and these are news events we've all been embroiled in so it's interesting to see how hollywood depicts these very real things. i guess it's a little revisionist history at the same time. >> are you going to watch sunday? >> i'll probably be watching, yes. >> we did talk to hbo and asked them to bring somebody on the show to talk about it and they declined. rosie, you've got a number of critiques about the show. if you had to give him one piece of advice and make his portrayals of newsrooms more accurate, what would it be? >> i would say try to show people actually doing their jobs and not just yelling at each other and having interoffice romances and drama. >> does nobody yell in your office at buzzfeed? >> occasionally, occasionally. >> what about politico? >> oh, you know we never yell at politico. >> thank you very much for joining us. >>> coming up, some of the cushy amenities you'll have to see to believe. here's a hint. it involves beer. we'll be right back. >>> when you think about a typical newsroom, you may think of this seen from "citizen kane." >

they've been named the tenth most powerful lobbying group in congress and back in 1996 when herman cain was the head of the national restaurant association, he struck a deal with congress saying that, "we will not oppose the overall minimum wage continuing to rise as long as the minimum wage for tipped workers stays frozen forever," and so it has for the last 22 years. imagine your average server in an ihop in texas earning $2.13 an hour, graveyard shift, no tips. the company's supposed to make up the difference between 2:13 and $7.25. but time and time again, that doesn't happen. and when a slow night happens, and you don't earn anything, or very little in tips, you often can't pay the rent. and i guarantee you in every restaurant in america there's at least one person who's on the verge of homelessness or being evicted or going through some kind of instability. it's an incredible irony that the people that who put food on our tables use food stamps at twice the rate of the rest of the us workforce. meaning that the people who put food on our tables can't afford to put food on their ow

ification of the presidential cycle is it has allowed for this underbelly of candidates, whether it's herman cain like that say, hey, i can show up, i get to be on national television, on various cable networks. if you do that, then that is smart tactical politics. now, the whole -- it is kind of funny. imagine if the rnc put the same effort they've been putting in this to get immigration reform passed. i think they might have gotten it done. >> fair point. >> i have a question because you probably know this better than anyone here. how much power does the rnc have over whether or not a candidate takes place? can the candidates just circumvent the rnc? >> it all depends if candidates do this. the only precedent there is 2004. and the dnc decided to play this role. and all of the folks that were running at the time agreed to it. now, that said so that meant the dnc decided -- they gave basically -- they gave a debate to every -- fox had one, nbc had a couple. one was on msnbc. abc. you know, they spaced it out. i think they did six over six months. so it was one a month. they chose the debate site

but it's the sarah palin supporters, the herman cain supporters in a sense the donald trump supportersyou line them all up and that's -- and we have people going out there -- who knows. maybe cruz is going towards 2016 more powerful because instead of tripping over, you know, sarah palin and herman cain and michele bachmann and all these other people, maybe he has that space all to himself. >> but what -- >> and then there's rand paul the libertarian. >> which is so much more interesting this year. instead of the ted cruz/bachmann candidate having to bump up against the republican establishment, there's always someone that represents that part of the party, this year they will bump up against someone with substantive objecti objections. you have rand paul, he's a political animal based on his ideology. i think ted cruz will run head long into someone who is more authentic to this part of the party, who has an entire flushed out ideology that he's going to sell to that same group of people. this is going to be a lot more interesting than watching michele bachmann rail against romney and

. >> before and herman cain did this.hey all had their sort of explosions in the springs and then they collapsed. >> here's something for you, joe, and michael steele. chris mathews his prediction for the gop nomination, he made last night on "hardball." take a look. >> obama won in 2008 over hillary clinton because the opponents of the iraq war had had it with the party leaders who played it safe and backed the war. i believe that republican base will do the same in 2016. they put up with george bush the first, bob dole, deeply disappointed with the big spending george w. and last year again by mitt romney and are now going to come loaded for bear for the race for 2016. i predict the hard right is going to take over the republican party in 2016 and the nomination is going to -- rand paul. you watch. this is what i do for a living. >> by the way, i do it to and i don't think that's happening. michael steele, though, there's no doubt that rand paul is going -- rand paul, i think, in most polls you see in the early states,

argue that ted cruz is representative broadly of the aspirations of the country or alan west or herman cainy represent a constituency in their ethnic group. they are one off, they don't have constituency in their group. how are they bringing people to the party. >> i would argue marco rubio in that group does. >> marco rubio has turned against immigration reform because he was essentially chased out of the room by the tea party. >> he hasn't turned again it. >> he walked away, now wants to shut down the government. >> eches the person that created a 60 vote, now battling it out. he's getting criticism from the right. >> the base. >> i don't disagree with that. >> he certainly hasn't walked away. >> given the fact, ar issuing, rubio was not rewarded by a party, he wasn't rewarded, he was actually punished. >> absolutely. they can't reach out to new constituencies if they are trying to disenfranchise it. you can't have it both ways. what people are doing in the states they are putting marco rubio in a bind. the minute they try to reach out, they get so much flack they have to walk it back. we

in the fall of 2011 before you got into the caucuses and primaries, part of the reason you had herman cainall of the other ridiculous characters leading in the polls is because of the debates as well. so i don't know how positive that was. but i mean at least we all got a look at each of them. michele bachmann. >> bill: yeah. they were colorful. then rick perry. >> i'm not sure that helped the party. >> you could argue that it helps -- you could argue that it helps to have, you know, guys with not a lot of money be able to compete. at the same time if you're the rnc, you probably want to have your nominee, you know, wrapped up as early as possible so they can get ready for the general because that did hurt romney. >> they also made the point, the more debates they had, the stronger the candidate would be. romney was becoming a stronger candidate by having the debates. that wasn't necessarily the case. >> it sucks a lot of time out of your campaign. >> bill: back to this threat on the part of the rnc chair, it is striking to me, they really don't want to run against hillary in 2016 so they'
