Joining me now three of my favorite American voices and I think yours as well radio talk show host Heidi Harris.

Good to have you with -- radio talk show host Mike Gallagher and radio talk show host Alan Nathan good to have you all here.

Let me turn to you first.

It.

-- let me ask you does Herman -- survive.

All of this.

Well I think he will I think that these women need to come forward and the allegations need to be present and I think it's a bunch of garbage and I would guess.

As a person has worked in the casino business and some other things where you know banter like this is pretty normal.

I'll -- this is all of it to smoke and mirrors -- talked a business owner today.

Who said -- constantly being sued over the slightest thing women get offended they claim they were harassed and nothing was really said.

That they could -- telling got to shut up about four hour they misinterpret things and I I really wanna see what actually happened.

Before all believe that I've they have Herman -- and my shelled many times in a soundproof room I spent hours talk immediately is never once done anything but -- complete gentleman.

I -- so I have to believing any of us.

And I've got most you're just insult sure and religious -- to irritate you to death right.

Some woman and you know how -- -- out some of them push it push me and my last nerve you -- that right.

-- what are your thoughts.

While wanna say I'd to have had a Herman Cain -- my show and not once did he try to pinch -- but -- Well that's our current -- and perfect gentleman are actually I am embarrassed as a former national television correspondent I'm embarrassed that.

Something's so -- dismal in evidence who would be passed off as -- -- justify the story.

And I find it or not this story I mean it's it's a whole lot of -- -- you're kidding.

-- this just you know what a preponderance of accusation does not a preponderance of evidence make.

And yet we're moving forward is if it's just taken -- fact that indeed he was guilty of these charges here's the paradox.

The media is keeping has decided to keep these women in anonymity -- Which means by default that only Herman Cain is left having to explain his side of the dispute -- and it just seems to be stretching credulity to the snapping point that we are moving forward with this as we have.

Our -- I think it helps a -- -- big way I think this is an election that's going to be about the American people rejecting.

Inside politicians.

You know the one of the big criticisms of mr.

-- this week is that we didn't handle the story we didn't spend the right way didn't come forth and well that's kind of refreshing for -- in the guys probably feel like.

The -- that -- the roofers caving in on him and he's not.

I can I he's not a career politician who might be skilled and add damage control of -- scandal I think the American people are fed up with sleazy.

Litigious jerks who go after people like Herman -- I go to -- -- -- a worst case scenario -- I -- the worst case scenario let's say these women come forward to get their fifteen minutes from the sun and oh by the way they're gonna get a book deal on the get their pay pay day.

And they say all he he he he looked at me -- Hungary sexier so what the American people are saying it was back in the 1990s there's no way to prove it -- he said she said in this is a very likable popular guy who's being demonized I'm convinced because you dare to be a black man who's a conservative the left hates.

-- -- -- -- -- It's another conservative political.

But the truth but it is another conservative in this case governor Rick Perry's campaign in his advisors.

Who were coming after not you know I suppose that there.

The Obama campaign will -- -- -- general election one never it tumbled politicos -- left leaning site and they're the ones that kind of broke the story and if if -- on -- since you know the story.

The source of it appears to be your leases -- charged.

To be coming from the -- Perry canceled rules say let's hope -- let's turn to our occupy Opel and the idea that.

This is sort of a cry for Scott Walker to take over.

Good part of northern California -- -- -- Pop pop pop pop up.

You know what these people -- -- get a job honestly I don't I their objective is I really truly do not know what their -- -- all the time they spend wasting.

I intents and things like that they can be out actually doing something with their lives and that -- a national joke I think.

Well -- speaker Boehner.

Alan he gets he gets the frustration.

With these Occupy Wall Street books.

And -- empathy is so touching look I I cannot let the best of the -- aggressive centrist but in this instance it just doesn't pass the laugh test because.

These folks are essentially complaining about income disparity -- what's wrong with income disparity.

If it's attributable to a disparity in effort in investment.

In work in performance.

I mean I don't see our real premium based sure I -- interject department because this is not just a very simple matter here.

We're looking right now -- income distribution in this country the national income.

Has moved so far to the side of profits vs wages and compensation.

That it's unconscionable we're talking about thirty years here.

We have never seen such a high percentage of the national income going to profits.

As since the Great Depression that's.

Joining us ever let you know but actually these are not deep thinkers -- -- you talk from ought to -- on your radio show I talked similarity is that they're not down their protest in the disparity.

They're at -- -- they just -- primary -- I think wanna I mean well I don't know why we're trying to analyze what these people are about they can't say what they're about.

But but the bottom line is really stand up and say writers write wrong we're wrong -- -- -- they're urinating in parks they're destroying the the communities are bunch of bunch of blog you know -- -- degenerate honestly guys I'm worried less about what parks.

Then I am.

About public employees in Oakland joining forces with this group.

To march to close down -- port with the the approval of the mayor mayor and the acquiescence of the entire political structure.

There -- that's a huge problem and -- we're gonna have to leave it right there.

Mike -- it is review to be -- -- quickly if you guys have been nice to -- -- -- -- -- yeah cooker certainly loves you and our buyback.

Heidi thank you -- -- bought back we.
