>> plenty of women who want bob filner to take walk, as you can imagine. several women accusing him of outrageous behavior. casey winan is in san diego with more on that one. >> reporter: bob filner still disappointing his critics by again, refusing to resign. after attending a city planning meeting, bob filner arrived to the a hastily arrived news conference to address allegations by seven women who claim he put them to unwanted sexual advances. >> i apologize to my staff. i apologize to the citizens and staff members who have supported me over many years. i apologize to the people of san diego and, most of all, i apologize to the women that i have offended. >> reporter: he acknowledged inexcusable and intimidating conduct and says he will enter rehab. >> beginning on august 5th i will enter a clinic to undergo

mayor filner grabbed me and kissed me. was able to push myself away and hurriedly left the room, very upset. on the sidewalk, the mayor suddenly in clear view of anyone who might pass by, grabbed and kissed her, jamming his tongue down her throat. the mayor quickly had his hand on the inside of her bra and was, again, trying to put his tongue down her throat. >> those details emerged last week. by the weekend the san diego county sheriffs department had set up a hotline for people who wanted to report sexual misconduct by the mayor of san diego. then yesterday, one of mayor filner's accusers, his former communications director, filed a lawsuit against him and aired her own set of allegations in front of a camera. >> the past six months turned out to be the worst time of my entire working life. i was placed in the filner head lock and moved around as a rag doll while he whispered sexual comments in my ear. we did not have a relationship other than work. that is all i wanted, and i never gave him any reason to think otherwis

today, filner addressed the y,sue. here's john blackstone. sa reporter: san diego mayor bob filner took responsibility for the accusations made against him. >> let me be absolutely clear-- the behavior i have engaged in over many years is wrong. my failure to respect women and the intimidating contact i engage in at times is inexcusable. >> reporter: the 70-year-old mayor did not announce he's stepping down. >> so beginning on august 5, i will be entering a behavior counseling clinic to undergo two weeks of intensive therapy to begin the process of addressing my behavior. >> it's clear to me that two weeks of therapy will not illress years of systematic abuse against women. >> reporter: laura fink is among seven women who have accused filner of sexual harassment. she was his deputy campaign sanager when he was running for reelection to congress. she was shocked by what filner did when a supporter complemented her work. >> they said i should be eppreciate forward working my behind off and he told me to ourn around and without think ago i didn'

the sex scandal involving mayor bob filner. you have anthony weiner, candidate for new york city mayor. he's grappling with his own accusations of sexually inappropriate behavior. and the message from house democratic leader nancy pelosi to these two men? get a clue. >> let me just say before i leave that let me be very clear. the conduct of some of these people that we're talking about here is reprehensible. it's so disrespectful of women. and what's really stunning about it is they don't even realize it. they don't have a clue. and it is really -- if they're clueless, get a clue. if they need therapy, do it in private. >> cnn's casey wian actually tracked down the san diego mayor for a comment. >> reporter: brooke, the four new women who have come forward with allegations of unwanted sexual advances against mayor bob filner are pillars of the community here in san diego. four more women came forward thursday to accuse san diego mayor bob filner of inappropriate sexual conduct. they include a university dean and a retired navy

to that point, bob filner is not new to politics himself. he's a new mayor, but he was a member of congress for several terms. he worked in politics as a senator in minnesota before that. he's not new. i'm not saying he came in scandalous, but i am saying this to-be-continued statement is very strange. to that point of him needing a fixer and/or to be fixed, the tech guy just came out to try to fix the mic. james, what was your take on that? >> absolutely. i think it was a contrite statement, but it was defiant. that fits with his personality. this is a continuing problem for democrats. republicans will make sure he's in the news every day he holds on. you don't go to rehab for two weeks and kind of resign in tandem with that. my hunch is he's going to call it a two-week vacation and come back and try to say that he's fixed. with these sexual harassment lawsuits, these things go on for a very long time. they get very messy. a lot comes out in court beyond the initial allegations. he's certainly going to have a lot of distractions if he tries

she filed her lawsuit today against both bob filner and the city of san diego.n 11 days now of accusations of sexual harassment against the first democratic mayor of san diego in two decades. very specific allegations by multiple women including the thing about telling women not to wear underwear and forcibly grabbing and kissing women who worked for him and putting women in head locks and saying gross things to them. when these allegations first started coming out last week, mayor filner immediately released a strange but restrained dvd statement in which he apologized and said he needed help. he said he would participate in sexual harassment training, but he did not redisigresign. he has still not resigned. he has, though, been trying to avoid the media. >> mayor, we'd like to ask you just a few questions. mayor, if he's allegations are not true, then please say it. >> how come you won't talk to us? >> mr. mayor, are these allegations true? >> mayor bob filner refusing to answer questions from reporters, then making a getaway. watch here as his driver even run

worse for anthony weiner and bob filner. weiner heading back out to meet with voters this weekend, a day after losing his cool during a campaign stop. >> yes, i did. you know who i decided to vote for? anthony weiner. i decided, i've got good ideas. i decided i'm not beholden to the political class. i decided i have shown a level of independence, in standing in front of you today. i don't know if i'm going to win. i don't know if i'm going to come in second or third or get no votes at all. but i'm going to stay here and keep fighting for what i believe in, and you're welcome not to vote for me, sir. >> that video was released hours after his campaign spokeswoman was forced to offer an apology for remarks she made about a former intern who gave an interview on the campaign to the new yo"new york daily news." meanwhile, on the west coast, the city of san diego now suing mayor bob filner to recover costs from a former sexual harassment lawsuit. that after filner tried to get the city to cover the cost of his attorney fees. and

the city is san diego; the mayor, bob filner.charges of sexual misconduct, and, as carter evans reports, he is digging in for what could be a very long fight. >> reporter: as the public outcry against mayor bob filner grows louder... >> we have the moral high ground! >> i think he's making san diego a laughing stock. >> reporter: ...voters like sherry lundine are growing frustrated. >> there are too many people that want him gone. and he may end up hanging on by his fingernails, but i just really don't think that he's doing the city any good. >> i'm clearly doing something wrong. >> reporter: filner has released a video response to allegations of sexual harassment, but more than a week after those allegations were first made public, he insists he will not resign. in his apology to the city, the mayor asked for forgiveness. >> i am embarrassed to admit that i have failed to fully respect the women who work for me and with me, and that at times i have intimidated them. >> bob filner is tragically unsafe for any woman to approach. >

now with bob filner under control, nothing is guaranteed.'s turned out way differently than anyone has expected. no charges have been filed yet, no lawsuits have been filed yet, but check your watch every minute or so for updates on that. it started at the end of last week, when a former democratic city council woman, an ally of bob filner came out publicly to say, she had supported the mayor in the past, she had sent a letter to the mayor asking for his resignation. i cannot describe how anguishing it is to ask that you vacate this office, and then she held a news conference. >> when i received credible firsthand evidence of more than one woman being sexually harassed, i could not act. i believe what they have told me, and they need to know that they are not alone. >> former counselor proceeded to say it was one of the hardest decisions she had ever had to make to demand that bob filner resign. that same day he responded apologizing, but not resigning. >> i begin today by apologizing to you. i have diminished the office to which you have lo

anthony weiner, new york city, bob filner in san diego. stick with weiner for a second. do republicans capitalize on this? is there a way? >> they capitalize on it in that nancy pelosi, the last thing she wanted to do today was answer questions about filner or weiner then getting thrown in there. so it distracts them from the message they want to deliver. but ultimately there are not a lot of voters looking at their

anthony weiner, new york city, bob filner in san diego. stick with weiner for a second. do republicans capitalize on this? is there a way? >> they capitalize on it in that nancy pelosi, the last thing she wanted to do today was answer questions about filner or weiner

cornered his victims, the filner head lock and the filner dance. >> i'm obviously very concerned thaty. i certainly don't see myself that way. if i'm offended people, i apologize. >> reporter: but an apology may not be enough. many expect the city to be hit with lawsuits. attorney marco gonzalez is filing a sexual harassment claim on behalf of one employee. >> there is no circumstance, under which it would be appropriate, for the mayor to enter into an elevator with my client and to tell them that they would do a better job on that floor if they worked without their panties on. >> reporter: filner's fiance cited his infidelities as a reason for their split last week adding in a statement, bob recently began texting other women sexually explicit messages and setting updates while in my presence. but filner insists he's not leaving office. >> i think all fair-minded san diegans would agree there ought to be a fair and impartial investigative process. and i think i will be vindicated at the end. >> reporter: "cbs this morning," i'm bill whitaker. >>> the trial resumes for fabrice tourre,

first to bob filner.rday his own communications director went public and slapped him with a sexual harassment lawsuit. here she is yesterday. >> i was placed in the filner head lock and moved around as a rag doll while he whispered sexual comments in my ear. his behavior made me feel ashamed, frightened and violated. >> michael: as the allegations against filner keep rolling in the san diego police department had set up a public hot line to report harassment against the mayor. two weeks ago, filner made an apology video. check this one out. >> i am embarrassed to admit that i have failed to fully respect the women who work with me and for me and at times have intimidated them. >> michael: yesterday he said quote . . . >> michael: here is hoping that justice does prevail sooner rather than later. joining me now in studio with a lot to say about the scandals of the day. christine pelosi, chair of the california democratic party women's caucus. thanks as always for being here. >> thank you for having me. >>

>> reporter: filner served 20 years in congress. now party leaders wish he and others would go away. >> the conduct of some of the people we are talking about here is reprehensible. it is so disrespectful of women. what's really stunning about it is they don't even realize it. they don't have a clue. >> reporter: what filner is accused of is different from private consensual sexual misconduct in person or, as with anthony weiner, online. >> it's not dozens and dozens. it is six to ten i suppose. i can't tell you absolutely what someone else is going to consider inappropriate or not. >> reporter: but it raises the questions, why are male politicians always getting in trouble over sex or to paraphrase henry higgins, why can't a man be more like a woman? >> we reward girls who are rule followers. we tend to reward boys who are rule breakers. >> all of the politicians i have watched have gotten themselves into sexual trouble, it's had to do with egotism. i'm not sure i see degree of egotism that as much among women politicians that i co

. >> reporter: well, bob filner spent 20 years in congress and many fear this is just the tip of the iceberg. the allegations include unwanted kissing, groping, lewd comments, sexual harassment, crude and inappropriate behavior for any man, let alone a mayor. >> we will all fail women of our city if we ask them to continue to meet with this man to seek the leadership of one who will continue to harass and grope them, try and stick their tongue down their throat, grab their breasts, one who is tragically, bob filner is tragically unsafe for any woman to approach. >> publicly this long time liberal democrat claims to support women's rights. yet already three female staffers have resigned, two aides quit. his fiance broke up with him

bob filner was sexually harassing people, which is illegal. bob filner is the mayor of san diego. at this point, anthony weiner is just a candidate for the democratic nomination for mayor. what's going on in san diego is much more serious. it may not be as great for tabloid fodder, but that is a situation that cuts to the heart of what the people of san diego have in charge of their government already and how they're supposed to go forward with it. he -- you've got to think, when he's saying he's going into therapy for two weeks and there are aides that have to show up in the mornings and in the evenings every day of that therapy to update him on city business, i feel sorry for the people who have to deal with that kind of thing and be there at the clinic with him. >> edward, nia-malika henderson, and michael, i'll talk to you later about miss leathers. >> i wish we could hear that conversation. >> we'll record it and put it on the post show. thanks, guys. >>> right now in egypt, the military is vowing to end sit-ins by supporters of the ousted president by calling them a security

dance. >> stephen: yes, the filner dance. because sexually harassing people gangnam style is so 2012. (laughter) now-- (applause) i think i sexually harassed myself. now filner has addressed this matter completely with an internet video. >> i begin today by apologizing to you. i have diminished the office to which you elected me. i'm clearly doing something wrong. and i have reach mood my heart and soul and realized i must and will change my behavior. >> stephen: see? this man reaches into heartsnd souls, and it's not his fault if sometimes there are titties in the way. (laughter) it happens. (applause) now despite his admission, mayor filner has announced will not resign. and folks i'm not surprised. these days the public is very forgiving of politicians and sex scandals, mark sanford has been re-elected to congress and right now in new york city's mayorral race, city council speaker christine quinn and former penis self-portraitist anthony weiner are running neck and what i hope is his neck. now no surprise, folks, no surpr

head lock or the filner dance. here's a former supporter of mayor bob filner. listen. >> he will oftentimes pull in close to their face and tell them you are wonderful, you are beautiful. i want to kiss you. his goal is to get them out of the way and he says things come on, you know you love me. just give me a kiss. let's go up to my office. no one will know. >> those former filner supporters have not yet decided whether or not to file sexual harassment lawsuits, shep. they will file a formal complaint to the city of san diego. shep? >> shepard: trace, he hasn't lost his job clearly but did he lose his fiancee. >> his former fiancee broke it off last week. she says she knows nothing at all about the sexual harassment allegations but she does know he cheated on her. even texted sexual messages right in front of her. remember, bob filner spent 20 years in congress prior to becoming mayor. he has a the lo of supporters say at least he deserves due process. bob filner told station is he misunderstood but in the end he

as far as what you know with mayor filner, what's your take on it?'s an egotist and a narcissist, the problem with narcissists, they don't have empathy with their victims, there's been a pervasive pattern of degradation of women in his office and this is simply not sex addiction, this is the belief he's above the law and he can do whatever he wants and the pervasive of the degradation needs to be ended not necessarily by treatment by a change in office. >> and, doctor, in that case, do you think this is incorrigible behavior or do you think intensive therapy could be the solution here? he's saying two weeks of therapy, he's saying it's going to be ongoing therapy. do you think that's going to help? >> i do think that therapy helps. i think it's important for him to have an awareness of what his behavior has done to his victims. however, we've known since 1991 that sexual harassment is against the law, since anita hill and clarence thomas. it doesn't take two weeks to solve a problem that in 20 years with all the information that we have about sexual

but filner may have been sexually harassing employees in had the workplace.y can't be alone with employees. how do you run city business when you can't be alone with a woman on city property? now he's checked into this rehab for a short period of time. >> if you asked me to rank the two of them, i mean, the whole weiner thing to me is just weird. filner, i think, is far more significant and far more culpable because the allegations, as you point out, are that while in office, he was harassing colleagues. at least weiner was behavior among consenting adults. the filner thing is far more egregious. >> do you think both these men will be able to survive this, michael? >> i do not think that filner will survive it. i don't think weiner will win. my final point s weiner is the type who would rather be in the press and talked about in this horrible way than not in the press at all. >> all right. thank you, both, for your time. really appreciate it. lois, thank you. >>> and there's a lot going on today. here are some things we just thought you should know. it's not

now in san diego there's an effort to recall filner as the mayor.t do you see happening to both of these guys? >> well, i think that brit is correct. anthony weiner is not going to be elected mayor. you'll continue to see the polls drop. he lost his campaign manager this morning. and diane feinstein said bob filner should resign. i don't think they have much time there. i want to pull back for a second which is part of what gets them going is the fact that they are being covered constantly. the microphones and the camera are their oxygen. as we pay more attention to them, they love this. when we take the cameras away, they cease to exist. the more we focus sort of the freak show element of politics, unfortunately what it's doing is only encouraging it to run. >> filner was grabbing women and -- >> no, no. weiner is one of those. >> you think weiner was sending those in the fact he would get publicity? >> i think he likes getting the attention that he's getting in this run. this is part of what makes him exist is getting the tv cameras, the microphon

we can't have anymore filner head locks. >> supervised.k: you stole the sidebar graphic we will use on line tonight. >> you have an on line show? cenk: michael, i do, there's some chance you might have started on it. when we come back, on a amazing story. now this one's about finance but it matters because it's banks that are actually ripping you off of $5 billion, and they're doing it based on simple aluminum cans, like the cans that you have, coke cans, beer cans that's the scam they're running. i'll tell you all about it when we come back. cenk: new york has recently had an amazing article about goldman sachs and what it's doing with aluminum. it first seems more bizarre because they're storing the aluminum and own a bunch of warehouses and they move it from one of their warehouse to say another and then to another and around and around they go in what one worker described as a merry go round of metal. by doing that, they increase the price of aluminum by one 10th 10th of 1 cent. then what happens? then it costs us over the span of thre

bob filner should not put the city through this.tter, they are not going to get better. the mayor needs to resign. he needs to put this very sad and sorry chapter behind us and he needs to do it immediately. >> reporter: a local affiliate is reporting a poll taken in san diego has 70% of the residents in the city saying the mayor should resign. he is not taking those steps. another statement came out, you interviewed morgan blrose who i alleging wrongdoing. >> she said this after the press conference. he is addicted to power and control and he is not about to give it up. >> i think one of the difficult things is, yes, he addressed in the press conference he talked about inappropriate behavior but we haven't gotten any direct responses to these allegations. not all of these women filed lawsuits. i understand in lawsuits you can't respond because it's a legal process but no direct responses and a lot of people want that but a lot of these women that have these allegations want that. >> they want answers and he was unwilling to answer

there not one but two recalls underway in san diego against filner.ould think he would start feeling not very huggable at this point. but his diluton earns him, we don't oft give two at a time, but he is the winner. and weiner stays in the race though. in every day, despite cal to step down fm democratic strategist david axelrod who said he is just taking you of space, and peter king also demanding he step down. and the clintons, even they have a belly full. president bill clinton officiated weiner's 2010 wedding, weiner's wife huma had been working for hillary clinton since 1996 for crying out loud. when -- folks. i'll call him folks like this. who your friends are, that mes you not just a wean are but a full on weany. so, we just want to make it clear, that he is doing -- he is getting everything he deserves. not quite. but now to final dunce cap. we debated this for a long time today, the show staff. we figured out we cast votes and weighed cons, and the cons of each, even the love gov. eliot spitzer is out saying that weiner shoul not be mayor of

filner is in charge of major city and is now going to.hey that's great but when you're in therapy for rehab for your sexual behavior over the past ten years you can't run a city. so when people say this doesn't matter. it does because the focus has been changed from running the city on to his own sexual problems he said doesn't matter when they actually too. >> michelle, the thing about filner in san diego, he was physical with these women. he was putting his arms around them. he was physically touching them. that's a different story. that takes it to another level. >> certainly. putting women in a head lock and touching them and groping them? ridiculous. this is a complete distraction. how can you be a leader and run a city if you're deal with these allegations and also doing this to people. the democrats love to talk about this war on women that republicans are waging, but look at this. look at these men. the stunning arrogance they -- they're surprised that people are making this a big deal, as if it's not a big deal. they're very sick

now, for the people that want filner gone and gone now one of two things has to happen. he has to resign or there has to be a recall. the recall process is pretty complicated. first of all, all the people hospital him gone would have to get over 100,000 valid signatures that's just to hold an election it would actually take a couple months for that election to happen. since filner was just elected this past november, the recall may be the best option since it doesn't sound like he plans to resign any time soon. >> so when i return on august 19th, my focus will be on making sure that i am doing right by the city, in terms of being the best mayor i can be. >> some local politicians tell us they are just not buying it. we actually have a quote from councilman kevin faulkner two weeks of therapy will not end the behavior he needs. he should leave to get the help he obviously needs. he shouldn't take the office of san diego mayor with him he needs to resign and seek long-term treatment as a private citizen. we have heard that echoed by thousands of citizens in san diego. ther

the city is paying for someone else to be in charge instead of bob filner. that's been monday, tuesday, wednesday so far this week. i'm really looking forward to seeing thursday's news, aren't you, san diego. meanwhile, the governor of virginia is also not resigning. but virginia does not have the benefit of having put someone in place to run the city. mcdonnell distracted by scandal, governor bob mcdonnell of virginia has basically been missing in action since the worst recent details broke in his corruption scandal. in addition to hiding out from the press and public. mcdonnell is hunkering down, he is spending more time managing his personal crisis. one that could become more perilous. is he managing the state? all last week, virginia governor bob mcdonnell was basically totally off the grid. last week was a vacation week for the governor, so he had precisely zero events as governor all week long. nothing over the weekend, nothing on monday. his only event on his public schedule this week, was one that was out of state in maryland. then today, news that t

and now, in san diego, there's an effort to recall filner as the mayor.hat do you see happening to both of them? >> well, i think that banthony weiner will not be elected mayor. he lost his campaign manager this morning and you saw senator dianne feinstein came out and said that bob filner should resign, the drum beats are beginning. they do not have much time. let's pull back, part of what gets them going is the fact that they are being covered constantly, the microphone and camera are the oxygen, when we pay attention to them, they love it. when we take the cameras away, this he c event ease to -- they to exist. >> you think that bob filner was grabbing women in the hope that -- >> no, weiner is one of those. >> you think weiner was sending text messages that he would get found out and get antagoniztten? >> i think he likes getting the attention in this run are. that is part of what makes him exist, you take away the cameras and microphones, what happens in. >> i suspect he would prefer to not have these problems. >> let's get to the main subject today,
