TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH,"
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE FRONT
RUNNER.
A POLITICAL WEBSITE CLAIMS
HERMAN CAIN WAS ACCUSED OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
PLUS, ATTACK ON ISRAEL,
VIOLENCE IS ESCALATING AS
PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS LAUNCH
ROCKETS INTO THE HOLY LAND.
AND 7 BILLION AND COUNTING.
A SYMBOLIC BIRTH HAS SOME
WORRIED ABOUT REAL WORLD
PROBLEMS.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE
TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH."
THE FRONT RUNNER
FOR THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION SAYS HE HAS NEVER
SEXUALLY HARASSED ANYONE.
GOOD EVENING I AM LEE WEB.
AND I AM WENDY GRIFFITH.
HERMAN CAIN IS ON THE DEFENSIVE
AFTER ALLEGATIONS OF IMPROPER
BEHAVIOR AT ONE OF HIS FORMER
JOBS.
DAVID BRODY SORTS IT ALL OUT.
REPORTER: FOR HERMAN CAIN THE
LAST MONTH HAS BEEN A WHIRLWIND.
HE HAS LAUNCHED FROM THE BOTTOM
OF THE PACK TO THE TOP OF THE
POLLS, WITH FRONT RUNNER STATUS
COMES FRONT RUNNER SCRUTINY.
EXPECT TO BE ATTACKED.
IT IS NO LONGER ABOUT HIS 999
PLAN.
A POLITICAL REPORT SUGGESTS CAIN
WAS CHARGED WITH SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
THE WOMEN SIGNED AGREEMENTS THAT
GAVE THEM PAY OUTS TO LEAVE AND
NOT TALK ABOUT ALLEGATIONS.
I AM NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT
TWO PEOPLE YOU WON'T TELL ME WHO
THEY ARE.
THE CAIN SPRANG INTO FULL
DAMAGE MODE.
FIRST ATTACKS OF SLASH FISCAL
POLICY SPEECH.
HE DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS.
THEN ON FOX NEWS, WHERE HE SAID
HE WAS AWARE OF AN ACCUSATION
WHILE HE WORKED FOR THE NATIONAL
RESTAURANT BUT DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
A SETTLEMENT.
I HAVE NEVER HARASSED ANYONE
AND YES, I WAS FALSELY ACCUSED
AND I SAY FALSELY, IT TURNED OUT
AFTER THE INVESTIGATION TO BE
BASELESS.
AND FINALLY AT THE NATIONAL
CLUB, CAIN FACED A ROOM FULL OF
REPORTERS.
WHEN CHARGES BROUGHT, I
RECUSED MYSELF AND ALLOWED MY
GENERAL COUNCIL AND HUMAN
RESOURCE OFFICER TO DEAL WITH
THE ASSOCIATON.
HIS CAMPAIGN ACCUSES THE
MEDIA.
MR. CAIN SAYS HE IS GOING TO BE
HIMSELF.
I DO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR,
SOME HAVE A PROBLEM.
BUT TO QUOTE MY CHIEF OF STAFF
AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE I HAVE
TALKED TO AROUND THIS COUNTRY,
HERMAN BE HERMAN, AND HERMAN IS
GOING TO STAY HERMAN, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH.
CAIN GAVE THE PRESS CORE A
GLIMPSE INTO HIS LOVE OF FAITH
AND GOSPEL MUSIC.
AMAZING GRACE [SINGING] WILL
ALWAYS BE MY SONG OF PRAISE.
* FOR IT WAS GRACE THAT
BROUGHT ME LIBERTY.
DAVID BRODY REPORTING AND
DAVID, HOW DAMAGING COULD THESE
CLAIMS BE COULD BE THE CAIN
CAMPAIGN?
I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS THE
REPORTER THAT WROTE THIS STORY.
SAID THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GET
INTO THE SPECIFICS.
ONE CAN ASK THEM WHY THEY
WOULDN'T IF THEY HAVE THE
DETAILS?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A SENSE FOR
LACK OF A BETTER TERM,
CONTRACTUAL ISSUES WHAT THESE
FOLKS THAT HAVE MADE THE CLAIMS
CAN SAY.
LOOK, FOR HERMAN CAIN, OF COURSE
THIS COULD BE A DAMAGING STORY.
I THINK FOR WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO
HERE AND WHAT WE SAW TODAY IS TO
KEEP THAT JOVIAL DEMEANOR
THROUGH A VERY TOUGH STORY.
IF HE IS GOING TO START TO
BECOME A POLITICIAN, A TYPICAL
POLITICIAN WHO GIVES LONG-WINDED
ANSWERS AND NOT ANSWER THE
QUESTION, HE IS GOING TO LOOK
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
WHAT HERMAN CAIN HAS DONE SO
FAR, HE HAS BEEN EXACTLY THE
OPPOSITE OF THAT, LEE.
A NON POLITICIAN, THEREFORE
GIVING STRAIGHT ANSWERS TO
CERTAIN QUESTIONS.
DAVID, HOW DO YOU THINK HE
DID AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW DO
YOU THINK THE MEDIA RESPONDED AT
THE PRESS CLUB.
I WONDER IF THEY WERE HANDING
OUT SMELLING SALTS WHEN HE
STARTED SINGING ABOUT JESUS.
HERMAN CAIN DID WHAT HE HAD TO
DO, KEPT IT LIGHT IN THE SENSE
HE WAS ABLE NOT TO GET MEAN AND
ANGRY AND VICIOUS IN HIS ANSWERS
AND ABLE TO GET DIRECT ANSWERS.
THIS IS WHAT HERMAN CAIN HAS
BEEN ALL ABOUT.
I REMEMBER IN IOWA, HE WAS
TALKING TO A FAITH AND FREEDOM
COALITION.
HE SAID AMERICA IS RUN BY STUPID
PEOPLE.
AND HE GOT THE CROWD LAUGHING.
THIS IS HERMAN CAIN'S STAKE.
HE IS NO NON SENSE.
HE IS DOING THE SAME HERE, IT
COULD WORK FOR HIM THIS TIME
AROUND AS WELL.
DAVID BRODY FROM WASHINGTON,
THANKS.
THANKS, LEE.

DARK.
AN EARLY START TO WINTER CAUSES
BIG PROBLEMS FOR PEOPLE IN THE
NORTHEAST.
THE NORTHEAST IS CLEANING UP

NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR CHRIS CRIST
TEE SAYS THE DAMAGE IS WORSE
THAN HURRICANE IRENE.
THE MONSTER NOR'EASTER WAS
HARD.
CONNECTICUT HIT THE HARDEST.
I AM ADVISED INITIALLY SOME
PEOPLE COULD BE WITHOUT POWER

IT WAS OFFICIALLY ADOPTED AS THE
NATIONAL MOTTO IN 1956.
SUPPORTERS SAY THEY ARE

KICKING AND YOU MAINTAIN
CIVILITY.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A
WONDERFUL DEBATE AND HOPE THEY
COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS TO
AMERICA'S DEBT PROBLEMS.
THE REPUBLICANS WANT IT
SMALLER, LESS SPENDING, LOWER
TAXES AND FEWER REGULATIONS,
WHILE THE DEMOCRATS WANT BIGGER
GOVERNMENT AND MORE SPENDING TO

FINANCIAL PATH UNSUSTAINABLE.

A NEW DOCUMENTARY COMES OUT AS
THE 7TH BILLIONTH PERSON IS

SAYING THE EARTH CAN'T HANDLE.
WE KEEP THINKING WE CAN GROW
FOREVER.
THE RESOURCE LIMITATION IS, IS
UPON US.
HUMAN BEINGS HAVE USED MORE
NATURAL RESOURCES SINCE THE END
OF WORLD WAR II THAN IN ALL OF
HUMAN HISTORY.
GROWTH BUSTERS PUT OUT A
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT IN
WHICH IT ASKED EACH PERSON TO
LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN.
PLEASE CONSIDER THE PLANET
WHEN YOU ARE PLANNING A FAMILY.
LET'S CREATE A MAGNIFICENT
FUTURE FOR FEWER CHILDREN.
STEPHEN MOSHER SAYS THEY HAVE
IT ALL WRONG AND UNDERPOPULATION
IS GOING TO CAUSE MORE CRISES.
TOO FEW PEOPLE TO BUY HOMES

MOSHER SAYS AMERICA IS
MANAGING TO REPLACE ITS
POPULATION.
IT WILL GROW DIRE IN SOME
EUROPEAN NATIONS.
PEOPLE IN ITALY AND SPAIN
AVERAGING ONE PER COUPLE AND
HALF THE SIZE OF THE PREVIOUS
POPULATION.
IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO CUT YOUR

> STATE TREASURY MIXUP
RESULTED IN QUITE A SURPRISE FOR
A CHURCH IN WISCONSIN.
THEY TOOK INVENTORY OF SAVINGS
BONDS AND DOZENS MEANT TO GO TO
TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH 13 YEARS
AGO.
A FORMER MEMBER LEFT THEM WHEN
SHE DIE.
THE WISCONSIN STATE PRESENTED
THEM WITH A CHECK FOR $10,000.
I AM SO PROUD AND PLEASED AND
SO THANKFUL TO THE LORD TO BE
ABLE TO PRESENT THIS CHECK TO
THIS WONDERFUL CHURCH.
[APPLAUSE].
WAY BACK THEN SHE WAS
THINKING OF HER CONGREGATION IN
THIS WAY SHE COULD BLESS US IN
THE FUTURE.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
PASTOR DOUG ENGLEBROOK SAYS THE
CHURCH WILL USE THE MONEY TO
INSTALL AN AIR CONDITIONING
UNIT.
THEY HAD BEEN USING CEILING FANS
TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE SUMMER.
> HUNDREDS OF HUNTERS, HIKE RS
AND CLIMBERS HEAD OUT TO THE
WILLEDNESS.
SOME GET LOSTED OR INJURED.
THEIR RESCUERS ARE FROM THE SAME
PLACES THAT RESCUE SOLDIERS.
THE OPENING DAY OF DEER
SEASON.
WITH SO MANY PEOPLE IN SEARCH OF
A TROPHY, SOMEBODY IS BOUND TO
GET HURT.
DEPENDING UPON WHERE YOU LIVE,
MANY SEARCH AND RESCUE OPTIONS.
THE JOB MIGHT FALL TO AMERICA'S
MOST HIGHLY TRAINED FIRST
RESPONDERS, AIR FORCE
PARARESCUE.
IT IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST RESCUE
FORCES, MADE UP OF HIGHLY
TRAINED RESCUE OFFICERS AND
TRAIN ON AN INCREDIBLE RANGE AND
SKILL TO GET PEOPLE OUT TO
SAFETY.
WHEN THEY CALL US, EVERYONE
ELSE HAS BEEN CALLED AND SAID
NO.
WHEN THE BEEPER GOES OFF OR CELL
PHONE RINGS, NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE GOING TO GET, FLYING IN FROM
A HELICOPTER, OR SWIMMING IN
FROM A WATER VESSEL TO RESCUE OR
RECOVER REMAINS OR SENSITIVE
MATERIAL.
ALL THOSE SKILLS COME IN
HANDY IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.
IN THE REAL ZONE, THEIR SKILLS
ARE COMED WITH ENEMY FIRE.
THEY GO BY THE CALL ZONE PAID
ROWS.
THEIR WILLINGNESS TO GO INTO THE
HOTTEST LANDING ZONES WITH GUNS
BLAZING IF NECESSARY.
WE GO IN WITH GUNS ON OUR
AIRCRAFT AND FULLLY ARMED.
WE ARE A COMBAT FORCE, WE CAN
FIGHT TO OUR OBJECTIVE, SECURE
IT AND COME BACK.
THESE MEN ALL HAVE PLENTY OF
COMBAT EXPERIENCE.
EACH HAS TO FIND HIS OWN WAY TO
WORK THROUGH THE STRESS WHEN HE
RETURNS HOME.
TRANSITIONING BACK INTO A
FAMILY LIFE AS A DAD AND FAMILY.
IF SOMEBODY IS IN A RUSH IN RUSH
HOUR TRAFFIC, WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN
OVERSEAS PULLING SOLDIERS OFF
THE FRONT LINE OR DEALING WITH
DEAD AMERICANS.
THAT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST
ASPECTS TO ASSIST PEOPLE IN
EVERYDAY LIFE.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE
DEAL WITH ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.
AIR FORCE PARARESCUE MEN HAVE
BEEN IN HARM'S WAY RESPONDING TO
HELP BROTHERS ON THE GROUND.
MORE THAN TEN AIRMEN HAVE DIED
IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
THIS SACRIFICE UNDERSCORES THEIR
DEPTH OF OF THEIR EQUIPMENT TO
LIVE UP TO THE MOTTO THAT OTHERS
WILL LIVE.
FROM ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, I AM
CHUCK HOLTON FOR CBN NEWS.
JERUSALEM IS KNOWN BY MANY AS
THE HOLY CITY AND FOR GOOD
REASON.
ARCHAEOLOGIST HAVE UNEARTHED
ANOTHER TINY TOKEN, THIS BOX
FOUND IN JERUSALEM MADE OF BONE
AND LESS THAN ONE INCH SQUARE.
INSIDE ARE TWO PORTRAITS TO BE
JESUS AND MARY DATING BACK TO
THE 6TH CENTURY.
IT WAS FOUND NEARBY A STREET
AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
IT IS VERY UNIQUE.
IT IS PRESERVED.
ARCHAEOLOGIST WITH THE ISRAEL
ANTIQUITIES SAYS THE BOX IS A
FIRST EXAMPLE OF ITS KIND.
IT MAKES ME WONDER IF FOLKS
WITH THE ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITY
ARE RESPONDING TO THE CHRISTIAN
FAITH BY WHAT THEY DISCOVER.
THAT IS A GOOD POINT.
SO SHINY AND BEAUTIFUL.
GOOD FOR THEM.
THAT IS GOING TO DO IT FOR
THIS EDITION OF "NEWSWATCH."
GOOD NIGHT."
