would her speaking out hurt the nra? frankly, it probably would haven't any effect on nra. >> dana: as am toer editor, let me ask you this. you are from politico. you're politico. you get a tip about the story from somewhere. you don't run with the people's name but they know who they are. this person never talked about this. now they're dragged in to this because of politics that could then if it was leaked by a rival campaign, does it hurt the campaign more? would you have not disclosed her name in the original piece? >> greg: that's tough more me because most of the original stories i wrote were about abs. if this is involving people that don't want to be involved and i don't have the fact i wouldn't go with it. >> eric: he doesn't have great abs. >> greg: yes. that's the breaking news with bob. >> kimberly: never realized herman cain didn't turn over cash to the person. he's trying to piece it together. this happens every day across the country, they do a termination agreement with an employee and they don't have to

>> reporter: did the nra come out and make a statement? >> we have a settlement agreement that has both confidentiality and nondisparagement provisions in it that i signed and my client signed and i did not want to expose us to any liability under that agreement. i felt this was the prudent way to go. >> reporter: do you think these behaviors in any way make -- or does your client believe that it's makes him unsuitable to the president of the united states? >> my client has not expressed any opinion on that to me and i don't believe she's going to express any opinion on that. >> reporter: what are her emotions this week as all this has played out? >> she's been anxious about it understandably and she's relieved we've been able to resolve it the way we have today. >> reporter: mr. cain has said he did not hit on anybody, didn't call anybody hot or anything like that -- >> those statements are inaccurate factually. as to my client. i'm not aware of the other instances for the other women. >> reporter: is your client aware or does she underst

on at least three occasions during the nra convention, mr. cain was seated next to her during dinners and a lunch where mr. cain was withe keynote speaker. she had spent a substantial amount of time speaking with him there at the nra convention, which took place about a month before she was terminated. at the suggestion of her boyfriend, a pediatrician, whom she had dated for four years, she reached out to mr. cain for help in finding another job. instead of receiving the help that she had hoped for, mr. cain ib stead decided to provide her with his idea of a stimulus package, which she will describe. we have obtained written statements under oath from the doctor that ms. bialek was dating at the time and from a businessman in the chicago area who has known ms. bialek for 30 years. she told each of them separately, shortly after mr. cain's sexual harassment, that mr. cain had engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior with her and that she was upset and surprised by his behavior. she told the businessman that mr. cain had been aggressive with

as you just noted, my colleagues, ken vogel and anna palmer reported that the nra was indeed looking to back their former head. and now they are sort of circling wagons, trying to keep people from talking about this. current and former employees. i think that mr. cain is going to continue to get asked about this until he can explain exactly what happened. he says he never committed sexual harassment. he's been very clear about that since yesterday. we tried getting answers before that. i think until he gives a full version of events that does not sort of change as we go, this is going to continue to dog him going forward. >> maggie, you are someone who worked on this story for at least ten days, maybe more. a lot oaf. >> more. >> a lot of people have been questioning, asking, was this story leaked by another republican candidate? where did this story come from? >> no reporter ever talks about where they come about information or how they come about information. but the story was very, very thoroughly reported, as you saw. four of us were bylined on it. we talked to a number of differ

reminds him of the nra. when he was a boy living in new hampshire, the nra was like the boy scouts. they taught you how to shoot safely, which wouldn't have been my preferred mode of upbringing, but it taught you all the rules of the gun. and they became so militant and so hostile that they're now seen as a threat. now will that happen? could that happen to the highway? well, i well, i think there are enough excesses out there and enough reason to change our lives and attitudes to the automobile, to make us freer and to improve the quality of our cities, the quality of our landscape, that there could really be a change. c-span: you say there's 120 deaths a day on the highways. up or down? >> guest: well, not--not on the highways, per se, but... c-span: automobiles. >> guest: .. on--automobile accidents. they have been stable: 43,000 a year. and this is one of the interesting little corkscrew aspects of--of life that made me become especially alarmed--or especially aware of how hidden the automobile is in our life. i mean, we have a--an airplane accident, and the sirens ring, the eme

otherwise known as the nra. didn't know that, did you? speaking on monday, the former pizza pusher called the story a, quote, witch hunt and in his 40 years, running businesses and corporation he's has never sexually harassed anyone. >> in all of my over 40 years of business experience, running businesses and corporations, i have never sexually harassed anyone. >> exactly what i said. what about the politico story? is it true women filed sexual harassment charges against you? >> while at the restaurant association i was accused of sexual harassment, falsely accused, i might add. i was falsely accused of sexual harassment. and when the charges were brought as the leader of the organization i recaused -- recaused myself and allowed my general council and my human resource officer to deal with the situation. and it was concluded after a thorough investigation that it had no basis. >> cain was unaware of settlements that might have been paid to the women. they say the women felt angry and uncomfortable with cain's behavior that included sexua

she said she knew cain from meeting him at an nra convention in chicago. she did not report the incident to the nra because she no longer worked there, but alleges she told two other people of the incident at the time. so why is she making these allegations now 14 years later? she said this in her statement. >> i really didn't want to be here today and wouldn't have been here if it had not been for the three other women who alleged sexual harassment against mr. cain. i want you, mr. cain, to come clean, just admit what you did. >> herman cain's campaign is denying all of the allegations and in a statement, said just as the country finally begins to refocus on our crippling $15 trillion national debt, and the unacceptably high unemployment rate, now activist celebrity lawyer, gloria allred is bringing forward more false accusations against the character of republican front-runner herman cain. all allegations of harassment against mr. cain are completely false. mr. cain has never harassed anyone. >> and wolf, we should point out that lawyer for one of cain's

a decade later suddenly he loves reagan, is pro-nra. and again, i'm not picking on mitt romney, i'm just wondering who is able to do this intellectually in their 50s and 60s? >> well, ronald reagan did. >> well, not really. >> he was a liberal in 1948, his phrase. >> hold on a second, though. >> and then 12 years later, he went through the '50s, the ge experience, he watched the new deal, watched eisenhower ratify the new deal, he watched the cold war, and he changed his mind. >> you -- >> in 40 -- >> he was in his 40s. i think he was in his lower 40s. >> he was born in 1911. >> so he was in his 30s, actually. he was in his 30s, but anybody that knows reagan knows that he had reams and reams of notebook paper where he went around and just constantly wrote what he believed. and you could see reagan's philosophy laid out there. there was nothing opportunistic about reagan. >> nothing opportunistic. but it was a change. what i mean is if romney's got the cards, if he's got the notebooks, if he wants to argue that he thought this stuff thro
