and herman did just that.e took the world by storm and got a degree in mathematics before going to work as a ballistic analyst to the u.s. navy. after that, cain took on the business world and after climbing the ladder at hillsborough, he took the reins as ceo of the struggling godfather's pizza chain.ba t he quickly turned it around as one of the most successful l chains in the entire country. and just when you thought he had peaked, he broke new ground. a staunch conservative and supporter of american businesses and american workers, kain rode the tea party wave and became the first african-american to leave in a national poll in the republican primary. though he ultimately lost the 2012 primary, the cain train was not out of steam. he went on to expire and relic and serve those with fiery talk on radio and tv, including the contributor on this network. he campaigned for president trump in 2016 and help them reach the white house. he lost his fight to covid-19. working to do just that again in 2020.ne help t

he wrote, i loved herman cain, a great man, herman, rest in peace. when he heard this sad news, he had to have thought about the rally and the picture where herman cain, cancer survivor without a mask is sitting surrounded with people at the rally days before he tested positive. does this hit home to him, dana at all, to the president? >> of course this death hits home to him. and it was pretty clear in that tweet and the fact that he said something at the beginning of his statement earlier this evening. but the question is to what end. i mean, just look at yesterday. the president has been saying wear a mask. he's been saying the right thing when he needs to. but he doesn't do it. he was in texas. he was around people in very close proximity. there were people in the room where he was, very close to one another not wearing masks. looked a lot like that photo with herman cain who is now gone from coronavirus. as you mentioned, it's important to say we don't know exactly where he contracted it. but we do know that cain just was like the president in s

the loss of herman cain is a shock.ne question it will raise is will it have an impact on the president? is this something that he will speak about, because they were friends, and certainly herman cain had advocated for the president on many occasions. >> we are certainly waiting for reaction from the white house about his passing. no doubt as you noted there, that he was a close friend or confidant of the president to some extent. kelly, let's talk about what he meant to the president from a political standpoint. obviously there is not a long list of prominent african-americans who lend their voice to the president. he does not poll well with the african-american community at large but he was an outlier, supported the president and many of his policies and they had a bit of a relationship. his loss is obviously going to be a tragic one for the president but talk to us a little bit about the relationship between president trump and what herman cain represented for his outreach to the qualify dan americafrican-a. >> repo

ainsley: thanks, herman. brian: the life of herman cain came to an end yesterday at 74 years old.out a week to 10 days it seems after the tulsa event and that seemed to be what every other network was focused on. that is not what lieutenant colonel allen west is focused on. good friends focused in a recent documentary. i know he was there for you after your accident, colonel. what was it like for you when you got the news? >> well, it was very heart-breaking. it's a pleasure to be with each and every one of you. the relationship between herman cain and i, i mean, we were both born and raised in atlanta, georgia. we used to always joke about his high school and mine grady who had the best band and prettiest girls and things of that nature. really his was a black life that truly mattered it. didn't just matter that mattered just not to black but all americans. i think my wife angela took it to the hardest because when she was a business professor at kansas state university. she specialized in marketing and finance. she had herman cain come to speak there in manhattan kansas for one

and let me start to with the herman cane story. how difficult would it be to do contact tracing at an event, like the president's rally, if that is where herman cane was showing symptoms. didn't know he was sick but was symptomatic? >> that kind of indoor gathering with thousands of people, that is a public health nightmare because you imagine that for everyone whom had symptoms ore was exposed to somebody who had symptoms, they're then going back to their home town. they'll be around family members, going about their daily work and maybe traveling to get back, and that's hundreds, if not thousands of people for whom contract tracing would have to be performed. we already know the public health infrastructure is stretched so thin. i just really cannot imagine how there would be nearly enough public health contact tracers to trace every 1 of the infections. that's the beginning of super sputer events, where an a cluster could become an outbreak and then an epidemic. >> herman cane, possibly, wouldn't have come in contact with thousa

people are -- you know, herman cain. i loved herman cain but herman cain had cancer.he knew the risks. he still wanted to live life to the fullest. he still wanted to travel. he was on planes, going all over the country. and it wasn't, you know, the president of the united states that told him to travel. >> yeah. but he encouraged him to go to a rally where nobody would socially distance and nobody would wear a mask. >> the president's not telling people not to wear masks. >> he has been, absolutely, telling them that he thought masks were insulting and that they're silly. listen to this fool louie gohmert saying those exact kinds of things. this is different. people are sick and dying, and our kids are going to get screwed up for a long time if we don't get this right. he is the president. it's time for him to step up. i always appreciate you arguing his case and you're always welcome here to do so, and i'm glad to see you looking well, and i hope you stay healthy. and i am sorry about herman cain, we will miss him dearly. >> amen. thank you, chris. all right. let's

herman died this morning of covid-19.en diagnosed and tested positive a little more than a week ago. it was a fast dissent for a man that had an incredible life. herman cain change the way that we looked at african-american businessmen and success stories. he was the head of a pizza giants but he never gained a pound. he had a views on storing economic growth but never had a political ax to grind. but others would rip up his ideas he would stick to the ideas, usually with a joke, a quick singer, and when it came to me over the years with a quick reminder, everything in balance, neil. and in the fast food industry that includes you and ordering so many hamburgers. he had a way of making you feel good not only about himself but the country. he was optimistic, upbeat and he never doubted that we would come through this virus just like you never doubted we would come through all of these protests. at our core he would tell me we were and are good people, all of us. we just bug each other sometimes. over the years we bugged ea

we will miss herman cain. >> are you worried he caught covid-19 in tulsa? >> no, i don't think he did.

i have to assume he was talking about herman cain. the white house continues to have a blinder view of all of this. they do not look at actions they have taken as having an impact on people getting sick, whether that's the tulsa rally or a lack of sufficient testing across the country, whether it is the lack of a national plan to combat this. this incident with herman cain, which is obviously tragic, is no different. >> i want to ask about one more thing because there are statements and there are actions. statements to restrict or delij -- relegitimize the vote. npr has a story out this morning regarding the census and how door-to-door visits will happen. that is impactful because that disproportionately affects the counting of minority districts, people of color. we're aware of previous administration attempts to restrict the census in ways that might politically benefit republicans. tell us the significance of this step going forward. >> reporter: look, there have been issues and questions related to the census and how this administ

my heart goes out to herman cain's family. we didn't agree on anything politically, we graduated from the same school, morehouse college, same alma mater and politically we couldn't be further apart. we see what happens with this virus. this virus doesn't have any partisan affiliation. this virus doesn't care who you pray to or love, it attacks us equally. we have to wear masks. what we're seeing is that leadership is ill equipped, ill prepared to handle this. it's not just the president of the united states, i mean, the talk about the nonpartisan nature of this virus, for me i look at the way that people like governor cuomo have handled this and gavin newsom handled this. i look at charlie baker and larry hogan. vice versa on the flip side how henry mcmaster and south carolina and brian kemp and ron desantis handled this with incompetence. he blocked me on twitter so i'm not sure if he tweeted about him today but the president of the united states with the death of herman cain should re-evaluate his ignorant stance on coronav

herman cain is hospitalized right now. that is a very serious thing. that his degree of illness is more significant. he is not riding it out at home. i do think that this is an opportunity for the administration and republicans at-large to send a clear message to the public, young and old that it is a dangerous virus and they should be careful and there are things that are very, very risky. being indoors in a campaign rally shoulder to shoulder with people like you see in that photo is not a safe type of activity to do. but you do not hear that coming from the leaders in the white house. you are hearing it now more from folks on capitol hill who have to report back to their individual states. >> absolutely. okay. thank you so much for that. just ahead the governor of texas just ordered residents to wear a mask in public. did the mandate come too late for hospitals already on the brink? i will ask a doctor on the front lines in the crisis and young people in alabama are intentionally trying to get sick with the coronavirus? why? we are hope to find out.
