Herman Cain

Let me tell you about my new book: The Right Problems

I know I’ve been teasing this a lot on the radio, and we’re just over a week away from the release of my new book, The Right Problems. I’ve written quite a few books in the past, and I thought they were all very good for the times in which they were written. But there’s a particular urgency I feel with this one, especially as someone who has run for president and has learned so much about how and why problems in this country are addressed – or not addressed, as the case may be.

The unknown Trump

I know that listeners do not have the opportunity to listen to my radio show every day, every hour, and every minute. That's why we make Cain 24/7 available 24 hours a day at HermanCain.com.

Obama NSA spied on Netanyahu, GOP congressman to protect Iran nuclear deal

This is not a sexy or juicy topic for a commentary, but it is a subject an informed reader should know about. Because, you're not going to hear about it on the nightly news.

I'll be glad to explain to you why conservatives are supporting Trump

I keep reading that Donald Trump is not a serious candidate. I keep reading that he’s not even really a conservative, and that Tea Party activists who are supporting him have lost their minds. I keep reading that his tendency to be a “loose cannon” will surely spell disaster for his candidacy, and would surely doom his presidency were he to have one.

GOP's game: Get a little now, win the White House, and then go big

A lot of conservatives were predictably disappointed in the budget deal that Speaker Paul Ryan agreed to last week with the White House. We did get a few things, like delays in the implementation of several key ObamaCare taxes, and the repeal at long last of the 42-year-old oil export ban.

Uh oh: Government has run up $200 billion deficit already in FY 2016

You might not even know that 2016 has already started--not the calendar year, but the fiscal year for many companies, and for many units of government including the federal government, which starts its fiscal year on October 1.

Media's latest lie about Ben Carson: He's 'struggling' to connect with black churches

There's no sense mincing words about what everyone knows: The media want to destroy Ben Carson's candidacy, and they're more than happy to lie in order to do it.

What the New York Daily News doesn't know about God

You’ve all seen the obnoxious headline by now. It showed up in the New York Daily News even as the San Bernardino attacks were still ongoing. In gigantic type, the Daily News informed us all, GOD’S NOT FIXING THIS, then proceeded to rip Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and Paul Ryan for offering “thoughts and prayers” to the victims and their families.

Sorry, media, I did not 'endorse' Donald Trump

Maybe I'm making too fine a point out of this, but I keep seeing news reports this morning that I "endorsed" Donald Trump for president by accepting his invitation to introduce him at his rally last night in Macon, Georgia. That will probably come as news to Donald Trump as well as to me - which is not to say I don't respect him immensely.

Hey, Jeb: Before you talk about my 'fall,' try getting as far as I got

Someone should tell Jeb Bush that I’ve accepted an invitation to speak at Donald Trump’s rally this coming Monday in Georgia. I accepted for a simple reason: He asked. But Gov. Bush seems weirdly interested these days in the connection – if only in his own mind – between what he thinks happened to me and what he thinks is going to happen to Trump.

Yes, we talked politics at Thanksgiving . . . and everyone survived

We had 48 family members at our Thanksgiving dinner gathering! Plenty to be thankful for! Plenty of food! Plenty of fellowship! And plenty of laughter! There were no discussion ground rules, and only three of us ventured into the realm of politics - an apparent Democrat voter, an apparent Republican voter, and of course the apparent radio talk show guy, moi.

About Obama's assertion that the climate change conference will sure show ISIS

As we all know by now, President Obama is not too inclined to show ISIS what's what by making the United States the leader of the military effort against them. Obama's not interested in "American leadership" or "America winning" if you'll remember.

Next debate might be the end for Jeb Bush

Every morning we dedicate 15 minutes of the radio show to in-depth analysis of the presidential race, and starting today we're going to make that audio available to you here.

Poor guy! America expects annoyed Obama to actually fight ISIS

All week long we’ve played clips on our radio show, and embedded them on our web site, showing President Obama taking questions from reporters and others about his strategy – or lack thereof – for fighting ISIS.

Pray for Paris and the world

Early in 2002, just a few months after the 9/11 attacks, I heard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deliver a message to the USA in a speech at a conference in Miami, Florida. He said that America needed to realize two things about terrorism and terrorists.

Amazing: Mainstream journalist plays it straight in story about me, does good job

I am not a difficult person to please. If you're going to write about me or quote me in a story, all I ask is that you get the facts right and report accurately what I said - without editorial comments that presume to explain to the reader what I really meant.

In defense of Ben

Politico pulled the same dishonest crap on me in 2011.

Why Obama's Keystone XL rejection excuses are a complete load of crap

It's bad enough that President Obama dragged his feet for seven years before doing what everyone knew he was going to do. TransCanada, the Canadian government an awful lot of Americans who could have used the economic boost (including the folks in North Dakota and an awful lot of Obama's union supporters) were left to twist in the wind while Obama pretended he was "reviewing" the proposed Keystone XL pipeline.

ObamaCare gives Kentucky a Republican businessman governor

According to all the polls leading up to last Tuesday’s gubernatorial election in Kentucky, Republican businessman Matt Bevin wasn’t supposed to have a chance. This was the same Matt Bevin who had launched a lamentably unsuccessful primary campaign last year against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and was treated by much of the press in the state (OK, technically the commonwealth) as a loose cannon who couldn’t be taken seriously.

VIDEO: Neil Cavuto and I discuss how outsider candidates can stay atop the polls

Last night on Fox Business Channel, Neil Cavuto wanted to talk about how outsider-type candidates who find themselves atop the polls can stay there. So he invited me on, because I was once an outsider-type candidate who found himself atop the polls. But Herman, you didn't stay there!
