and now, ben carson on being politically incorrect. dr. allowed the purveyors of division to be rampant in our society and create division and fear in our society. people are afraid to stand up for what they believe in because they don't want to be called the name, they don't want an irs audit they don't want their jobs messed with or their families messed with. but isn't it time for us to think about the be blue came before us and what they were willing to do? so that we could be free. i will tell you something -- they don't care if you believe what they believe, as long as you keep your mouth shut. that's all we have to start doing. we have to start opening our mouse for the values and principles of america. -- opening our mouseths for the values and principles of america. and i've got to tell you something -- i am not politically correct and i'm probably never -- [applause] i'm probably never going to be politically correct because i'm not a politician. i don't want to be a politician. john: another example -- that's music to the years o

ben carson .any months ago but you can find it in the video library and take a look. three hours that we spent talking with dr. ben carson. find it in our video library. dale is on the line for democrats. caller: i'm an african american. i'm 63 years old. i can relate to dr. ben carson. it is similar to our -- his story is similar to -- as a democrat i can support him. a lot of people are saying his moral character. what i would like to say to a lot of people -- the code word was common sense. we as a group of people know that once upon a time we as african-americans were the people that had conservative morals. we were the people that worked hard for what we wanted because years ago we were not dependent upon the government. as an african-american democrat come a 63 years old. i can relate to what he's saying. most of us of that generation can because our parents raised us the same way that ben carson's brother raised him -- ben carson's mother raised him. with godspeed he will get the message ac

ben carson 4.8%.e huckabee is in 6th place at 8.3% and led earlier in some of the national polls. but they are long shots. carly fiorina said we don't need people who held public office. the last time the republicans nominated somebody who had not been an elected office holder or commanded the american military in a war was 1940. and you have to go back a long time before you get to somebody who had no elective responsibilities before they became president. on the other hand she proved to be a very adept campaigner. she is energetic. she focused on iowa, north carolina and new hampshire a like. she came with the line that clinton boasts she traveled to all those countries and she said flying is an activity, not an accomplishment. similarly ben carson who is a physician, a newer so surgeon brain surgeon at johns hopkins with a wonderful story took on president obama over obamacare. an has been a rock star. everybody has gotten a moment and a bump. generally when they announce. but his bump was earlier.

host: put money into the equation for these three candidates, ben carson, carly fiorina, mike huckabeewhere will they be getting the money? how much do they realistically need to get out the message that they put out? what are the challenges? guest: dr. carson he has -- i shouldn't say he, an independent political action committee on his behalf has already raised over $50 million. i think we are in the era where fundraising is not a concern. carly fiorina will have contacts from her business career. mike huckabee, as i said, is very beloved amongst the social conservatives. we are in an era where a small number of benefactors can help a candidate, even if they have a hard time getting money from a vast number of people. it can really give a much longer lifespan politically speaking that would have been the case and 2008, 2004, or anytime before that. host: we will be watching these three candidates and the next few days. we will continue to watch and see who enters the race. niall stanage is from "the hill," thank you. >> ben carson expected to announce and about 20 minutes. we will ta

we heard ben carson in his announcement.directly referenced, i believe he referred to as broken economy. he said it needs cleaning up. referenced american debt surpassing gdp within a year. made it a very very big talking point of his speech, the economy. of course carly fiorina running a company like hewlett-packard has a pretty good idea how the economy works. obviously there is many, kirsten sat on this sofa, questioned her track record running a company and many are, but she does know how it works. she knows what it takes. so people are saying, that ben carson and carly fiorina they don't have the political background. andrea i don't know that so much matters everyone when it comes to the pocketbook. what we know that drives a lot of voters to the polls is somebody who really, is going to promise them a better economy rand better situation for their family at home. >> jedediah, i want to go to you first first your thoughts on ben carson because we heard him announce today, and then fiorina. to sandra's point. the fact th

ben carson is well-liked in black communities. he's going to campaign and convey a message to them that really needs to be heard. needs to be heard by people who have been voting democratic all their life. pretty much out of habit. and i think ben carson is going to go out and talk to them about republican values. conservative values. in a way that i think will be very credible. because he's a very credible spokesman for his own beliefs. melissa: byron, that is a really interesting point. what do you think about that? >> it will be a very unconventional candidacy. if you listen to the half-hour speech today listening to carson is kind of like hearing a ted talk than a political address. he's talking about himself. he's talking about his values. he's very very vague in terms of what he would actually do if he were elected president. we're going to have to see how this goes in a competitive field. melissa: thanks guys. how will this shake up the political field? with this week's power index. and one person we see moving up the index

what does ben carson bring to the race? >> he brings a different style. he is not a politician and has a soft spoken delivery that was want on a tell prompter. he talked about his humble begins in detroit as he mentioned but talks about the constitution a bit and going back to the first principles of the country. he made i noted, a number of statements where he said it is not party. people shouldn't be loyal to just one party because there is a political class that feels like it is in control of this country in both parties and that that needs to be broken. you saw some of the applause lines there about turning things around. the big criticism of ben carson is he is a political novist and can get tripped up in the spotlight going each step along the way on these questions. but clearly he is making a run that a lot of people are looking at closely and bring as different face to the republican field. >> it was an eloquent speech and it will be interesting to watch him going along without the prompter. >>> about 1100 miles south of detroit we go outside of t
