>> is ben carson one? >> i wouldn't be surprised. i don't have any inside information, but i wouldn't be surprised. >> on ben carson, he spoke to -- dr. carson spoke to cnn this morning. some of the biggest mistakes that happen in the campaign was every interview with "new day". >> "new day". >> and here's what he said about debate prep. >> you'll see a lot more energy behind the responses because, again, i don't have that weight on my shoulders now. i have a very vibrant organization that truly provides the kind of information and the help that is needed. >> let me paraphrase that for you. he said that he's got a lot more energy. he's going to have a lot more energy behind his responses. because he doesn't have that weight on my shoulders now he said that this morning and it stuck out to a lot of us as ouch. basically he said he was being held back before. i want you to respond. >> you know, when they announced this shakeup on the 23rd, which got this whole thing going. thy said it was because i was being too aggressive and that he

if you are on a decertain the side with ben carson. you would purposely get injured so he could operate on you. kennedy: let's make a tourniquet out of a coconut. >> the problem is the novelty has worn off. kennedy: i think if we tblert middle of the obamacare passion and hatred ben carson would be doing well. if we were from the throes, rand paul would be doing well. i'm tired of this false comparison between establishment and populist. you will have a candidate or a lead were a 90% atu rate hog is called a rino by people who support a populist candidate who is probably one of the most liberal republicans since rockefeller. i think it steers people away from the fact when you create that duopoly where you say assistant and rino. it's a fight fueled by emotion. we are not supposed to be emotional. we are fact-based. we are reasoned perverts. i'm a pervert for reason and i haiti motion. but now i have a case where the leader on the republican side is very emotional. kennedy: and stirring the country into such a froth everyone is so mixe

ben carson? >> i did a deep dive and one of the things that i learned in my years in corporate america is that, you have to have the ability to execute a plan, and we didn't really have that. so, i brought in someone who has a lot of experience with execution and, you know, there were some who decided under those circumstances it would be too difficult for them to work. but that's okay. >> were you going to fire barry bennett, the campaign manager and your communications director? that's a simple question. >> i was going to make some very substantial changes and mr. bennett said he could not live with those changes. that's okay. it doesn't diminish anything that he's done. >> one of the things that barry bennett said to the associated press about your campaign, he said, you have to surround yourself with good people and he has not demonstrated that he can do that. and you said, wisdom is every bit as important as knowledge and perhaps an even more important qualification for job of president, bei

an emotional ben carson spoke tuesday at a nebraska hospital. ben carson: the thing that impressed me the most was how compassionate he was. elizabeth: the people in the pickup were a woman and three young children, they were also injured. the state patrol says it's still investigating the crash. carson's staffers say he will return to the campaign trail thursday. shaina: more commitment 2016 headlines. republican frontrunner donald trump got a big endorsement tuesday night in ames. sarah palin: so those of us who have gone through the ringer as mr. trump has makes me respect you even more. shaina: palin appeared with trump in front of a crowd of more than 1,000 people. she called trump a real conservative and blasted the gop for attacking its own frontrunner. palin's endorsement likely a blow to ted cruz. bid for senate in texas. palin will join trump for two more campaign events today. and another blow to ted cruz, governor branstad says it would be a big mistake for iowans to support him. branstad says senator cruz has campaigned against fede

>> well, ben carson, his response was interesting. he was completely dismissive, and i think that he said that it would be ridiculous to not use the specimen. he said we don't know where it came from, and that's the most charitable way of understanding it. what boffed me about his response, and what turned me around and if i would support someone like him as a pro-lifer, but the way that he missed it. you see more in justifying his practices rather than trying to explore a real important ethical issue. believe me, i'm a moral theologian and have spent decades trying to go through these moral issues. >> ryan, how does your group work through something like this? is it an array of candidates, with sometimes only slight differences in the approach to these questions. >> i think that the approach is not as nuanced as some would suggest. in order to elevate humanity, we don't have to destroy part of humanity. there are those in this field, particularly coalition doctors, in wisconsin, and they talked about how fetal tissue arrive, and rese

if ben carson told me i would grow up to be like ben carson i would turn my academic career around immediately. >> i thought he inspires you. >> you should see when he is talking to him, you are going to grow up to be just like me and the kid is like, not a good -- >> the kid does president like school. and he is thinking i have to apply myself now. he is a goof off and he likes it. >> it pays to -- i was a goof off. it pays. you get to do "red eye." >> sam, why don't we go to you. you were a troubled youth, were you not? >> i still am. what they didn't show is after this ben carson went to make a wish and said who has the least time left? they all pointed to his campaign. saved it. saved it. >> it was a joke, tom. you don't analyze the material. i feel bad for kids. we tell kids they can be whatever they want and then we don't give them the odds. if i have a kid i will be honest. daddy, can i play in the nba? look, staw -- statistically it is possible, but look at this chart. i factored in your size and race and it does president -- doesn't look good. are you a tiny jew. i will be honest. >>
