he was followed in third place surprisingly by ben carson, a conservative neurosurgeon who makes thet the conservative events like this, and some people want him to run for president, and chris christie came in fourth, and that is good for him, because this is not the crowd, and movement conservatives and the conservative base, but he did give a good speech this year. one thing they just said, jim, that i should point out is that the 18-25-year-olds made up almost half of the straw poll vote here, and again, this is a conference dominated by young people, by libertarians and so no surprise that rand paul won in that fashion, jim. >> and that is interesting, peter, because some would think that the crowd would be older and white, and et cetera, but that would seem to add value to the results here, but looking at rand paul, the libertarian background and he has national appeal, and on television a lot, and he has fans. does this make him at least for now the republican front-runner for 2016? >> i'm not sure that is the case. there is certainly a lot of buzz in the political circles tha

[applause] had to give upwe on our principles. they said that the train of history was roaring to the left. jump on board or get left behind. but then, something happened. change, it went from a catchy campaign slogan to a reality and along the way, hope and change, yes we can, it became "no, you can't." you cannot log onto the website.

same thing with ben carson. large group of people trying to draft him to run for president. showed up to vote for him. that's why did he he did so wel. >> donna, when you look at numbers, that's one thing. when you talk to folks, especially young folks, rand paul has appeal. young people seem attracted to him. why is that? >> well first of all, i agree with my colleagues here that it is not always a good predictor in terms of who will be president of the united states, but for young people, i think, his positions on -- from civil liberties, on edward snowden and the nsa spying, to rand paul trying to figure out his message on even civil rights issues, going back home to kentucky to on behalf of people who have committed a crime and now are seeking to get their voting rights back. he's a hybrid in many ways, but in other ways he's a traditional a conservative. and i think because he represents this new lineage of republicans, i think young people are looking for somebody -- >> it's that libertarian "x" factor tha

ben carson last year, this is where it starts.ecause of you and your energy, your commitment to the greatest country on earth. and everything that makes her exceptional. it is because of you. [applause] i look at you and i feel good. when we were here last year there was some reeling going on because of the election results. our fellow americans had decided evidently to double down on hope and change and the sages of the beltway and their sock puppets. [applause] they said that we had to give up on our principles. they said that the train of history was roaring to the left. jump on board or get left behind. but then, something happened. that hope and change, it went from a catchy campaign slogan to a reality and along the way, hope and change, yes we can, it became "no, you can't." you cannot log onto the website. [laughter] you cannot keep your health care. [laughter] you can't make a phone call without michelle obama knowing. this is the third time this week you have dialed pizza hut delivery. [laughter] [applause] something did

i hear ben carson, he gives a wonderful talk about how he was raised by a single mom but he had dads in the community who helped. there are no dads. you say what can government do about it? well, what can government do about getting people to stop smoking? it turned out a heck of a lot. what can private enterprise do to help support marriage? it turns out, when they take the cause, it turns out they can do a lot. what about education? how do we get the educational institutions behind valuing marriage and talking about the importance of it? how about businesses saying they will give marriage counseling as part of a benefit. how about we have a movement to reclaim the true, beautiful institution of marriage? [applause] we talked about job creators, not jobholders. i will give you the classic example during the campaign. it was on a convention night. i spoke that night and i was backstage and i saw all of these folks who are wonderful people, small business people, some big business people. and all throughout the convention hall was a packard that." d "we built as you remember, presiden

also, we have a democratic straw poll, last week they shocked people by picking ben carson, the republicanilly premium membership. and bill, you and dobbs are wrong, the republican nominee must learn what hillary clinton is made out of. we already know what she is made out of. george, california, the uniformed speculation over the missing jet is over the top. everyone should slow down. not going to happen, george, because some americans like the speculation. it is a mystery thing, viewers are trying to figure out and develop their own theory. so conjecture rules until the folks get tired of it. carol, dayton, nevada, o'reilly, thank you for pointing out that some news commentators are wasting people's time. problem is, some people don't mind. and thanks for a wonderful performance with letterman you backed up your criticism of beyonce with facts. and bill, i want to thank you for speaking out the messages that beyonce is putting out. bridge back aretha. she still tours, beth, and still is the queen of soul. aretha franklin. susan betters, pennsylvania, mr. o'reilly, you and miller put on a

ben carson who has been prominent in right-wing media the past year, 9% of and chris christie got 8%.ecord of this straw poll when it comes to predicting the gop nominee isn't that good, past winners included rand paul, george allen and steve forbes, none of whom came close to the nomination. the margin of victory is impressive enough to tell us something where the conservative base is now and even if you pull the straw poll aside, cpac itself is the current passions. 11,000 people attended this year's three-day event which wrapped up when that straw poll tally was announced. the conservative attendees did a lot more than just sit around waiting for presidential contenders to speak. they were also going to argue over and hash out a policy agenda, the new strategies are formulated and the candidates who would lead them are dissected. the national harbor convention center just across from d.c. has been buzzing with conservative bloggers and radio hosts, intellectual leaders, policy, donors, those who organize phone banks, form voluntary armies every election year. so let's forget about

ben carson, professor emeritus of neurosurgery at johns hopkins as well. you all for being here. i want to start the first panel and talk about what you're seeing out there, the problems now that we hear from patients and consumers. what are you seeing out there? >> well, you know, i run into obviously a lot of patients because i'm all over the country and a lot of physicians, and it seems like the biggest problem is that we have insinuated into the doctor-patient relationship a lot of things that don't need to be there. what do you need for good health care? a health care provider and a patient. well, along comes the middleman to help facilitate the relationship and now it has become the predominant entity with the patient and health care provider at its beck and call. so when you do that, you basically create a sort of different world. and, you know, when we talk about physicians, i want to talk about ways to bring the relationship back to the patient and the doctor. >> what about challenges you're seeing? real-world challenges for doctors? >> i did have
