ben carson joins me now.he former secretary of housing and urban development under president trump. always great to see you. i want your comments on what claudia reported there. increasing the funding going to these hotels to house the homeless through september. what are your thoughts open that? >> the homelessness problem is not new. it's a growing problem every year progressively. one thing that we learned is throwing money at it does not solve the problem. what you have to do is ask the question, why are these people homeless? in many cases you're talking about people with mental illness, you're talking about people with drug addiction. unless you begin to get to the root cause, you'll never solve it. the other problem is the cast. go to san francisco. the average cost of a home is $1.6 million. it's proportional throughout. that is not going to work. and if you take some of all of those regulations out of the way so that building can be done without passing that cost on, then you begin to solve the probl

ben carson over hood. >> i would just say look at the facts.re the ones who cleared out tens of thousands of cases, discrimination cases. interestingly enough, the majority of those cases had nothing to do with race. a majority of them had to do with disabilities, and a majority of those had to do with animals. so i would caution mr. sharp to be to go back and actually look at the facts. what we have been trying to do is solve the problem. you know, of wealth inequity. the principle mechanism for wealth accumulation is housing ownership. the arm house owner is worth $200,000. the average renter is worth $5,000. we have been trying to remove the obstacle and make it easier for people. i would say to the new secretary and the biden administration to continue the work we were trying to do to get rid of some of the policies that keep people dependent. jesse: thank you very much, dr. ben carson. sleepy joe is woke and now he's job killing joe. biden signing executive orders and actions pushing a radical agenda that is laying off workers all over the

on the question of the cabinet, i recently had the opportunity to be in the same room with ben carson active member of the cabinet and a brilliant surgeon and happens to be african-american, but that is not as important that ben carson is a man of character, a brilliant person and rate american, i'm going to leave it there. i was lucky enough to work in the state department when condoleezza rice, filled with ability and character, what inspired me. >> host: on the cultural aspect you write on in the book, you write that there was a fundamental problem with equating experiences of mexican americans, women, gays and so on it ignored as justice thurgood marshall argued in his dissent from the university of california that the experiences of negroes in america has been different in kind, not just degree than any other ethnic group and it is for this reason this book does not have a chapter dedicated to african-americans. tell us a little more about your decision on that. >> i don't have a chapter in "the plot to change america: how identity politics is dividing the land of the free" on th

on the question of the cabinet, i recently had the opportunity to be in the same room with ben carson, an active member of the cabinet and also a brilliant surgeon and is also african-american but that is not as important to the fact that ben carson is a man of character and a brilliant person and great american. i'm going to leave it there. i was lucky enough to work with the state department secretary of state a room filled with ability and character and that's what matters to me and what inspired me. >> let me ask you on the cultural aspect you right on in the book, he writes that there was a fundamental problem with equating the experiences of mexican americans, women, gays and so on and suffering of times. getting hard the marshall argued in his dissent from the university of california, the experiences in america has been different not just in degree from that of any other ethnic group. you write it's for this reason that this book does not have a chapter dedicated to african-americans. talk little bit more about that decision. >> i don't have a chapter that's dedicated to them.

ben carson said, he wrote an article in which he said, this is social engineering trying to integrate the suburbs. social engineering always has a negative consequence. but the reality that integrations tend to do social engineering. social engineering was the creation of the segregated landscape across the country. if we really do not like social engineering, we should undo it. [applause] >> i am a student from winston sale, north carolina. >> i am from houston, texas. >> we go to the school for ethics and global leadership here in washington d.c., which is a semester program. i know firsthand, even as a 17 year old, the reality of racial segregation in neighborhoods in my city of winston salem. i know that my state, north carolina, has a long history of racial discrimination through neighborhoods and especially through one voter laws and so i was wondering what you think the role of state governments especially north carolina in restricting voting rights for african americans has had in perpetuating the problems with neighborhood segregation and naomi has an addition to that. >> i a

when ben carson -- well, before he was appointed secretary the obama administration had adopted a ruleh was a bare schadlow of what george romney had tried to do but it was a shadow and ben carson said -- he wrote an article in which he said that this is social engineering trying to integrate the suburbs. social engineering always has a negative consequence, unintended consequences, but the reality is that integration is an attempt to undo social engineering. the social engineering was the creation of a segregated landscape across the country and if we really don't like social engineering we should undo it. [ applause ] >> i am from winston-salem, north carolina. >> i am from houston, texas. >> and we go to the school for ethics and global leadership here in washington, d.c. which is a semester program. so i know firsthand even as a 17-year-old the reality of racial segregation in neighborhoods in my city of winston-salem and i know that my state, north carolina, has a long history of racial discrimination through -- through neighborhoods and especially through voter laws and so i was

but that is really not as important to the fact that ben carson is a man of character.s a brilliant person and a great american. i'm going to leave it there. i was lucky enough to work at least eight department condoleezza rice was secretary of state. a woman that was filled with ability and character. and that is really what mattered to me and what inspired me. split for me ask you a little bit on the cultural aspect you right on in the book. he right in the book there is a fundamental problem with acquainting the experiences of mexican americans, women, yea and so on to the suffering of blacks. it ignored that just as thurgood marshall argued in his dissent for the university of california that the experiences of negroes in america have been different in kind, not just in degree than that of any other ethnic group. and you, might consult right in does not have a chapter dedicated to african americans. tells a little bit about your decision on that. >> i do not have a chapter. that's the one unique group. the one group in america whose assets are not at all obviously w

one of the most nonsensical ones on day one was ben carson, a neurosurgeon who ran for president, whoted housing and urban development. it was things like that that did not make sense in the trump administration. i realize that is a small example, but it tells you that when a president leads, it matters how they lead, and i think right now, but we need the most is truly a plan in place to take care of the coronavirus pandemic because it has been exactly one year it has been here. >> as an activist and organizer on the ground in georgia, as someone who worked hard to ensure that black voters came out and voted in this past election cycle, what did you hear most from the folks that you speak with? what do they want to see most from a bided/harris administration? -- biden/harris administration? >> many who organized with us leading to the victory had some of the same concerns that we are hearing joe biden address and many folks mentioned now. thank you for bringing up the importance of having a clear plan on covid vaccination, not justin the u.s., not justin mystically, but being able to

variety of roles some very nonsensical i will add one of the most nonsensical ones on day one was ben carson a neurosurgeon. who ran for president himself under the republican banner. pointed housing and urban development so it was things like that that just didn't make sense in the trumpet ministration i realize that's a very small example but it tells you right there that when a president leads it matters how they lead and i think right now what we really need the boast is truly a plan in place to take care of the coronavirus pandemic on our shores because it's been exactly one year that's been your jail as an activist an organizer on the ground in georgia someone who worked so hard to ensure that black voters came out and voted in this past election cycle what do you hear most from the folks that you speak with what do they want to see most from a biden harrison ministration yes many of the people that fought with us and organize with us leading up to the biden hearing this campaign victory have some of the same concerns that we are hearing but in an address and many folks mention right n

recently about a black man whose soul accidentally gets separated from his body >> it's the story of ben carsoncarson! [ laughter ] >> seth: scottish lawmakers voted recently to make menstrual products free, which is expected to cost $32 million a year >> no word on how that cost will be absorbed. >> seth: jenny >> oh, let me try! >> seth: okay, scottish lawmakers voted recently to make menstrual products free -- >> and it's about bloody time. >> >> seth: amber! >> let me try again. >> seth: okay. scottish lawmakers voted recently to make menstrual products free. >> but i bet there's a string attached >> seth: jenny connecticut will become the first state to require high schools to offer black study classes. >> class will start at 9:00 but everyone will show up around 10:30 hey, seth, do you know how you get an "f" in black studies? >> seth: how is that >> you do this >> seth: the makers of bud light seltzer recently launched a variety pack with new flavors like peppermint patty. >> this doesn't taste like peppermint patty, said marcie. >> seth: i do not have to stay for this >> seth, come back

finally, there's ben carson who started his tenure as a trump administration employee by claiming povr eitherty is a sta mind, then had to cancel a $31,000 dining table and chairs for his office. a few months after that, carson had to walk back his cool plan to triple rents on the nation's poorest americans. in just over two weeks, these people are going to try to melt back into polite society, and we can't let them. there has to be consequences, there must be consequences for their actions or we'll send them higher back into the next republican administration, whenever that may be. but keep in mind, this was only the first half dozen corrupt trump officials, i'll name the rest in the coming weeks. so to mnuchin, ross, pompeo, mulvaney, scovina and koscarson i'll be watching you. you don't get to serve a tyrant for four years and then quiet acceptance from a nation you worked to tear apart. i'll keep reminding the public of your corruption, your silence and your complicity for the rest of your lives no matter where you are, no matter where you turn. i gotcha. i gotcha -versus only 16 g

on the question of the cabinet, i had the opportunity to be in the same room with ben carson but he is a very active member of the cabinet and also a brilliant surgeon. he also happens to be african-american but that is not as important as the fact that he is a man of color and brilliant person and great american. i'm going to leave that there because to work at the state department when condoleezza rice was the secretary of state, a woman that was filled with ability and character and that's what mattered to me and what inspired me. >> let me ask a little bit on the cultural aspect you write on in the book. you were right there is a fundamental problem with equating the experiences of mexican americans, women and so on to the suffering of blacks. it ignored that as justice thurgood marshall argued in his dissent to the university of california that, quote, the experiences in america have been different not just in the degree from that of any other ethnic group and you write it is for this reason that this book does not have a chapter dedicated to african-americans. tell us a little bi

ben carson, former housing and urban development secretary. dr. carson, your reaction to today's exec of actions and susan rice's announcement of them? >>>> it's pretty amazing how people try to frame everything racially and how they create divisions among our society. i grew up in the '50s and '60s and i can tell you what real racism was like. it was an everyday event. the world is very different here in america right now.ig and to use race as a mechanism to obtain power and positions i think is really quite shameful. in fact, race relationships have deteriorated. why have they deteriorated? because of the great emphasis, trying to create white guilt and black victimhood. those are two very bad things and when you put them together, and results in some policies that absolutely make no sense. so the real conflict here is between common sense and idiocy. that's what's really going on. >> on pbs tonight, responding to the criticisms of the biden executive actions, susan rice said this. >> it's a bit rich, frankly, for republicans to suggest that by

hud secretary ben carson hitting send on rebuke after twitter permanently suspended president trump's account in a tweet carson saying, quote, silencing a significant number of voters in a race in history is no way to unite us, want to act like media but don't want to be held accountable like the rest of the media. free should be free whether you agree or not. aclu pushing back against big-tech companies, chief legislative counsel saying in a statement everyone should be concerned when companies like -- make those decisions easier. parlor ceo blasted google friday after the so-called free speech app was removed from google's play store. google wasn't really concerned about violence about the tech giant accused parlor of helping to incite violence after a mob stormed the capitol earlier this week. meanwhile some democrats are calling social media companies, calling out social media companies for not acting sooner. democratic senator richard, it took blood and glass in halls of congress for most powerful tech companies to recognize at the last possible moment the threat of trump and, gu

i just hope someone remembered to wake ben carson up to let him know he needs to clear out his officeill up in there. as for donald trump, who knows what's next? i'll tell you this. he is going to go nuts, sitting in that country club. i've been to mar-a-lago, years ago, before he was president, i had dinner there once. it's a bunch of very old people, quietly eating meatloaf. it's like a gaudy rest home. nothing goes on. nothing happens. he won't make it a week in there. he'll be calling into hannity by friday night. guaranteed. you know, "the wall street journal" reported yesterday, trump may want to start his own political party to punish the republicans who defied him. i love that. what kind of party are you going to put together? even when he was president, he was barely able to book three doors down to play his party. trump spent his final hours in the white house plotting revenge against liz cheney and republicans who voted to impeach and deciding who to pardon. basically, he spent his last day in office making a list of his criminal friends and checking it twice, like evil san

. >> jim -- >> also going the distance mike pompeo from the cia to the state department, and ben carsonent secretary all four years during which he took heat for alleged transphobic comments. he denied a "washington post" report that he raised concern about, quote, big hairy men entering women's homeless shelters saying political correctness would destroy the nation, and he also blamed the purchase of some very expensive furniture for his office on his wife. >> they showed us some catalogs. the prices were beyond what i wanted to pay. i made it clear that that just didn't seem right to me and, you know, i left it with my wife. >> also staying in the race wilbur ross the commerce secretary, his tenure most notable for trying to add a citizenship question to the census and questionable comments on tv including this one defending how prices would go up on products because of the president's tariffs. >> well, i just bought this can today at a 7-eleven down here and the price was 1.99, so who in the world is going to be too bothered by .6 of a cent? >> people on a budget would be bothered, w

ben carson sort of put me into the right reality and i went through all of the emotions of grief, trying to bargain with god. no, i must be a white supremacist, i'm going to foxnews.com. and then came the acceptance of okay, this is just the truth. >> host: might experience on race is probably just the opposite of yours but what a lot of time you just use those words that they used about these great black authors, thomas sole, kind of the dean of that delegation, shelby steele, so many. the criticism is written that these are black thinkers, but don't know how a brain thinks in terms of race but black thinkers the right for a white population. what you are saying is for you those black writers helped ring to a whole different perspective on whole range of issues. >> guest: they are, they are possibly the most courageous and heroic black people that are walking in this country because they did it at a time it wasn't okay. they took this news, the heartache and they kept on telling the truth and it did so unapologetically. like i said i want to be where i am that i wouldn't be today rented

do you see dr ben carson ever voting for something like this, so that if they're looking for an excuseay, never mind, it's too bad. something happened yesterday, but. everything is fine now, and it's only 13 more days. this might help to give an excuse for that, but that's all it would be. it's really is this said the question is our is our the cabinet and the prime vice president, so worried that the president would do something really precipitous, really dangerous in these next two weeks. that's what matters not whether the president could hold himself together to put together a short video. okay well again, we will continue to follow that video message from president trump and get reaction to it much more on that coming up today at five again, david levin. always a pleasure. thank you. okay. you bet heather see later. coming up today. here on the four families in need for the first time up. next we profile bay area families facing hunger amid the pandemic and the local food banks stepping up to the call out of area weather, lots of sunshine today with the clouds will be moving in th

ben carson i think is a step in the right direction. we have not addressed policing, we have not addressed some of the economic discrimination, as well as the zeen phobia he addressed here as well as what he addressed in terms of dealing with native americans. i think it is a deposit, but by no means paid in full. the beginning of a long walk with a couple of steps. >> executive actions can be overturned by other executive actions when a new administration comes in. how much pressure is the biden team facing to get some of these things done, ledges slatively and what does that mean for the fate of the filibuster? can he get police reform and these other major reforms done if the filibuster is still in place? >> i think that we clearly need new laws. many of us have been saying for the last couple years that if you don't put laws in place, you will have what you just had. trump was able to rescind and revoke a lot of the executive action's that president obama had in. we need george floyd and not just executive action on policing. we nee

as ben carson says, as ben carson says i think this whole thing is quite shameful.ct race relationships have deteriorated why because of the great infamous create white guilt and black victimhood. results in policies that make no sense. is he not only a brain surgeon who came from nothing and achieved everything he is just out of hud and he sat there in the most depressived communities one of which was his growing up with a momma was illiterate. two sons one became a lawyer and one a brain surgeon. he knows about obstacles. unfortunateliry in a time which we are in a crisis by looking at joe biden's words it's hard to believe that these programs are priority and there is no consensus, mr. unity, no consensus. meanwhile carley shimkus under our consensus that we toss to you to tell us what else is happening. carley: thank you so much. going to start with a fox news alert. overnight an nypd officer is shot in the back. the plain closed officer was approaching an armed man when he was struck bebelow his bullet proof vest in the bronx. >> tonight we saw extraordinary br

homelessness here in los angeles doing a horrible job in terms of numbers but making more money than ben carson los angeles is ready to relax dining restrictions, you're free to go outside, but you can't be watching tv while you do that. ahead of the super bowl, no tv. by the way, or perfect for saturday night live, not for life in california. >> 100%. those are the things they need to be making fun of. i think it's ridiculous. at a certain point in time, adults are going to do what adults do. and you can only treat us like children for so long before people just start saying, forget it, it's not going to happen. and i think people are right about at that. ing i'm glad we're able to have outdoor dining. we're in los angeles where the wind is blowing and it's beautiful. we just shut that down even though that's not where our numbers are coming from or schools. so, yeah, i think people have pretty much had it with governor newsom. he might be recalled, and people have talked to me about running for governor, but i don't think i want that job. will: i think you let the cat out of the bag.
