candidacy, known for strong opposition to president obama, speaking earlier today in detroit, ben carson. mr a politician. i don't want to be a politician, because politicians do what is politically expedient.

mr. speaker, ben rhodes, the president's deputy national security advisor, said the iranian nuclear deal is president obama's second term obamacare. now, he meant that as a good thing. but we all know what a disaster that law has been for this country. and in reality, the iranian nuclear deal, as it is being negotiated by this president, is far worse for the american people and for future generations than that health care law could ever be. now, this much-heralded framework agreement between the p-5 plus one and iran that president has talked about has never been written down. everyone in this chamber today knows exactly what the ultimate deal will entail, though. the united states and the international community will release iran from its crushing sanctions in exchange for nearly nothing. let's be blunt. iran will continue on the path of getting a nuclear weapon if this agreement is ultimately signed. but instead of asserting congressional authority and constraining the president, the house today is considering a bill that will do just the opposite. it will give president obama a blank

mr. shapiro and his latest book coming out in paperback. ben shapiro what's on your mind? >> presidential races always on my mind. if i have to watch hillary clinton for much longer, i'm not sure i can take it. if you ever watch polar express you know how it's just realistic enough but not realistic enough that you feel comfortable. hillary clinton is there. she has an address in the uncanny valley. it's slightly odd and you wait for the switch to go on in her head. so that's fun and on the republican side of the aisle, we are watching them bash each other. that's part of a beautiful sunday and not thinking about the presidential race. >> how unique are you? >> young, jewish, pretty outspoken. >> if you find young orthodox jews i am certainly a statistical anomaly. this is the differentiating factor. i am to the right. >> you report recently wrote a column on this issue. >> will basically ethnically i'm a democrat but you know i'm republican. if you're not a self identified catholic even though you were born into a catholic family, same if you are jewish but you don't part

ben stein, it might not be. what do you think? >> with all due respect, i know mr. gasparino is making fun of yours truly but the economy is very strong and i'd like to give you respectful examples since charlie likes anecdotes. i was at the a big midwestern city. the employers there were very rich they cannot find decent workers at the hotel i was at to get people to clean the rooms or carry up the bags. they have to go to nepal to get people to do their work for them. there is a great shortage of workers, not a great shortage of jobs. we have a serious, serious problem of workers who won't work. that's the real problem, not lack of demand. >> adam ben makes a good point and so does charles here. my point on this is that all the democrats have to say if hillary clinton is the noment know and she's trying to compare where we were with democrats eight years ago is that unemployment is way down. the market is way up and whether it's a cover or not they'll argue it's a hell of a lot better than it was and will that be enough to get her over the top? what do you think?

. ♪ john: ben carson's performance, we will pick up the web gems, as they put on espn, talking about his upbringing. mrcarson: a tenement, boarded up windows and doors. murders. both of our older cousins, who we adored, were killed. i remember when our favorite drug dealer was killed. the rats and the roaches. you know, in the more upscale areas, they call them water bugs, but we knew what they were. but my mother was out working extraordinarily hard. two, sometimes three jobs at a time. as a domestic, trying to stay off of welfare, and the reason for that issue notice that most of the people she saw go on welfare never came off of it and she didn't want to be dependent. she wanted us also to be independent, and she decided she would work as hard and as long as necessary, leaving at 5:00 in the morning and getting back after midnight doing day after day after day what other people did not want to do to try to entertain her independence. john: so, mark, this touches on his biography. it is an incredible story, his life story. unbeknownst to many in america this guy is a hero a lot with african americans

leadership conference that just wrapped over the weekend, leanne ben carson won the straw poll at that gathering. how seriously should we all be taking mrson right now? >> ben carson's path to the nomination is through straw poll, we're learning. he put in a lot of time a lot of resources, he busted he brought his people in to make sure that he'd win. it looks like this is a strategy right now, especially early on. what this does is gives him headlines. perhaps gives him some momentum and it could give him a little bump in the polls, and that might be necessary to get on the debate stage in august at this very early stage of the campaign. >> bob we don't have time to get into it this morning, it would seem to me also that at some point, we realize that straw polls are about as effective as predicting the next president of the united states is going outside and licking your thumb and putting it up in the wind. but yet, we continue to use straw polls. >> bellwell we do because somebody makes money or gets a headline. i'm not a fan, i don't think anybody who realizes -- i mean, i sort of think they're like tv's man on the street by getting

mr. carson. i am a 73-year-old veteran. my v.a. doctor and i were talking about ben some months ago.s thinking he would be the ideal person. he does not say he knows everything. he is a little bit like ronald reagan where he has the right people that he can get in to get this country back on its feet. this past eight years, or seven years, have been just terrible on the economy. i live in florida and it is just terrible down here. dr. carson is probably the freshest breath of spring air i have seen in all my life. compared to ron reagan. he got my vote. announcer: former neurosurgeon author, and you can see our q and a conversation with dr. carson online at c-span.org. let's check the facebook and see what people are saying about the announcement today from dr. carson. this one for mark saying -- this is a waste of your vote. victorino said -- we love dr. carson. he is running so that he can get a show on fox. to bill who is in amarillo, texas. on the republican line. caller: this man is a very unique and brilliant surgeon but the thing that impresses me is that he believes in respon

ben hur." has nothing to do with this, just trivia. all of the prisoners with the exception of mrs.t and dr. mudd mudd -- dr. mudd have hoods over their head, which drives some of them to near-insanity. they obviously could not interview lee harvey oswald or john wilkes booth because they were dead. they try to interview everyone else. the trial lasted seven weeks. they interviewed 351 witnesses. the people in trial were hoping to uncover a larger conspiracy. they were hoping to prove the confederacy, particularly jefferson davis, was behind it. they were unable to do this. they were hoping to find that someone other than a deranged 26-year-old actor did this. when ultimately that did not work, just as after the kennedy assassination, worn commission -- the warren commission was commissioned. in 1867 the house of representatives convened a special assassination committee to see of the assassination trial had been correct, and came to the conclusion it had. when we discuss the kennedy assassination in three weeks, we will find it was the warren commission and in the house commission.

mr. fink. he says his argument is making harder against investors. erik: and carly fiorini is joining the race for the presidential nomination as well as ben carson. they won't be the last. stephanie: i have been with him for hours and that's the first time i've looked at him. your hair looks good. erik: let's look at the headlines and manufacturing. scarlett: an increase of 2.1%, and the consensus was 2%, so slightly better than economists were looking for. i believe this was the first increase since last july as well. this was the month of march. what is interesting here is that the previous rate of a gain of 0.2% has been revised to a drop of 0.1%. february was weaker than anticipated and march numbers were slightly higher than economists are looking for. if you back out transportation orders, factory orders were unchanged, 0%. whereas for the february numbers, it was revised down from 0.8% to 0.1%. the financial markets are coming off of their highs, still a by 0.1%. it is hard to say if that came out right after factory numbers of coming out. if i look at the dollar right now, the u.s. dollar index slightly higher here, 9537. we have seen man

ben ferguson. and marc la mont hill. and i'll start with you, mr. ferguson. is about the first amendment and free speech? who's saying pamela geller didn't have the right to hold this event? isn't it about the quality of the message and what the impact is of the message? not her right to say it. >> well i think it's a little bit of both. and there are a lot of people that say, hey, you shouldn't do this because you're inciting other people. the fact is if we start limiting people that we disagree with or blaming those that are exercising free speech for the attacks, we're not the free country that we claim that we are that people literally try to sneak in to every single day because this country is so free. and there are people that say and do things that i don't like. there are things that people say all the time that other people don't like. but in america we allow them to have the right. and we also protect the right for them to exercise this. so when you saw this attack happened there was a lot of people saying well she should have known better. well she

mr. davis? >> no jury can accept my facts are i am speculating on motives who might want to do by giving money. so with all due respect to ben on. i will give you facts and not opinions. let's take the iranian deal. fact. the body of people that approved that deal were nine governmental agencies including the defense department and the state department and the treasury department and the secretary of state named jose hernandez said i never heard of hillary clinton, ever. and an independent body approved that transaction. the utah commission approved that transaction. so with all due respect to my friend ben, the prosecutor doesn't state facts. i stated facts that contradict the notion of a bribe. >> i have one question and that is this how is it that when hillary clinton was not at the state department the amount of money coming in from foreign governments was not remotely close to the massive amounts of money that was coming in and you could say first-time donors from foreign governments that never gave money before the clinton foundation and all of a sudden she is secretary of state, and they go oh, now i want to give you

mr. morelli, have they accepted full responsibility for that accident? >> you know it's interesting, matt when i was on with you in august we spoke about that if you remember. that's when you called me benthe other clients who i also represent do feel that they did take full responsibility and i had told you then that it was my job to make sure that they did take full responsibility but i was very very surprised pleasantly surprised that wal-mart stepped up to the plate and they not only took full responsibility and did right by my clients and their families but they truly were upset that this happened and they apologized to me and asked me to apologize to my clients and i am internally grateful to a company that is so good and although so massive 2.4 employees should be proud to work for such a company. >> ben, it's nice to see you. i appreciate your time. tracy morgan will be our exclusive desk live on monday morning. >> i'm glad the legal process is behind him. let's us get a check of the weather. >> all right. let's tell you what we got going on. warmer conditions, across a good portion of the country. in the meantime, high pressure pushing that jet stream up so ridgeing up here int
