carson joins us from philadelphia. thanks for joining us, dr. carson? >> my pleasure. nice to be with you. >> what's your reaction to barkley's comments saying it's ridiculous to say white police officers are killing blacks? >> well, i think it's true that the police are our friends. and i challenge people all the time, imagine living for 24 hours with no police. people would be walking into your house saying, i think i like that television, i'm taking that. it would be total chaos. so the police are our friends. are they perfect in all cases? of course not. no one is perfect in all cases. doctors are not perfect in all cases. what we need to do is tone down the rhetoric a little bit. i would love to see some real dialogue between the police and community leaders so that questions could be asked and the answers could be disseminated in a public form so that people begin to understand, why do the police do what they do? a lot of times, just a little clarification can make a big difference. by the same token, i think it's important for the police to also understand why p

that carson brings.rosurgeon and someone with intellectual heft. they like that because they think it counters the base. >> you mentioned the bush family. a lot of would-be candidates and rubio is waiting for bush. he would have an establishment waiting for him, both the fund-raising establishment, friends of the bush family, campaign aides and operatives. jeb bush was at a wall street journal conference this week and he sounded like a candidate but he says he's not quite there yet. >> i kind of know how a republican can win, whether it's me or someone else, and it has to be much more uplifting, much more positive, much more willing to, you know, to be practical now in a washington world, lose the primary to win the general without violating your principles. it's not an easy task, to be honest. >> i think what he meant there is lose the primary to win the general, meaning don't say things like self-deport. maybe stand up for jeb bush's views on immigration which is con temporary to the republican base, m

carson calls him mr. ernie. >> he's known mr. ernie his whole life since ernie began delivering a special formula for carson who was born with a milk allergy. they became friends and that inspired carson's dream to work for u.p.s. that inspired ernie to think about what could brown do for carson. that's how the boy got the truck, and u.p.s. made the video about it. >> carson knew nothing about it. and knew that -- did not know mr. ernie would come, or there was a little truck inside that big truck. >> light switches here. >> he's just one of those guys that, to me, is very special, and has become a very special role model in carson's life. >> great to see the two trucks side by side. carson makes his own delivery around his neighborhood. and his neighbors love it. >> don't you think every kid on the block is going to be like -- >> i want that truck. >> i want a u.p.s. truck. i want to make a delivery. soon there will be a fedex truck and all sorts of trucks. >>> let's bring in mike schuman with sports now. the battle of the bay o

ben carson still right there. dr.n, his fox news platform as a commentator, his books are popular among evangelicals, these are well known names to conservatives. the most important thing from the republican side is this is name recognition. but we've always known who's next. john mccain was next, bob dole was next, george w. bush. these poll numbers in some ways are meaningless. but in other ways, very consequential. if you're especially those governors, you're looking around, can you build a staff, raise enough money? you have to make those decisions over the next several months. and no front-runner on the republican side, makes those decisions harder. >> i bet a lot of our viewers are surprised by dr. ben carson, brilliant nooeurosurgeon, pediatric neurosurgeon. and he's at the top tier. >> a prominent role as a fox news commentator. african-american conservative who says, push the social issues, also push for fiscal conservatism. what's working for him right now is he's not a politician. republicans and democrats,

ben carson pulls the party and gop primary to the right.t makes hilary clinton a little more viable or we're going to see former governor jeb bush really coming out strong. he's already said he is interesting and coming out strong and saying we're going to see what we can do about this. so we'll see. >> tell me more about the gop and how they're pitching this bigger tent to attract minority voters? what's going on there. >> when president obama came in and had a huge showing of minority support they said we want a piece of that. they're doing a great job of attracting hip younger candidates. the gop freshman class this year coming in this january is going to be significantly younger than the rest of the house and the senate but it really depends on whether or not they're actually going to attract minority votes. senator tim scott very popular is scoring position black republican but only got 10% of the black vote in that district so i think we see they're looking for diverse but are people voting for them is the question. >> well we do know

carson calls him mr. ernie. >> he's known mr. ernie his whole life, ever since ernie began delivering a special formula to the household for carson, who was born with a milk allergy. the two became friends. that inspired carson's dream to work for ups. that inspired ernie to think about what brown could do for carson. that's how the boy got the truck. ups made this video about the whole story. >> carson knew nothing about it. and did not know mr. ernie would come or that there was a little truck inside that big truck. >> lights, switches here. >> he's just one of those guys that to me is very special and has become a very special role model in carson's life. >> how cool is that. >> that is the coolest thing ever. >> wish i had a little truck like that. carson makes his own deliveries around his colorado springs neighborhood and everybody just loves it. >> that is so sweet. >>> 7 on your side's michael finney is here answering questions sent to him by facebook, twitter and e-mail. the first comes from lori b., who asked via facebo

i'm sorry the voice of rachel carson is still today.ave been proud of this bill and this moment. >> there were all of these things that were beginning to affect human health. we had cities in america increasingly having to call smog alerts. we had rivers catching on fire. in the santa barbara oil spill, it became clear that even the very richest cities were going to be exposed to massive environmental threats. >> the drilling continues and so do the leaks. and the question here is not whether it will happen again but when and how bad will it be. >> issue after issue kept piling up. >> there is a building sense that we are stakeholders in the environment, that it is something that we humans can rule in. this is a real shift in our thinking. >> people were really worried. and the political establishment started to respond. >> without the environmental movement coming out of the '60s, we would not have a clean air act, clean water act. i mean, there was a wave of legislation that emerged in the immediate aftermath. >> we have not been inac

. >> i think if i remember correctly, you debuted on the carson show in '84? >> '84 so that would have been 30 years ago as we sit here. amazing. >> i actually did a few tv shows before that that weren't as popular, did the letter man show, i did mer f griffin, and johnny was the first big show. >> and carson was and in the mines of people still, that was sort of the high point. >> oh, yeah. >> if you strarted the career, you always peg it, was i on the carson show, how did he treat me. >> it's kind of like passing the bar exam as a lawyer do the tonight show. that validates you. >> we're sitting here on a moment of transition from on the tonight show, the baton being passed to jimmy fallon, i guess that show has undergone a lot of changes but it's still the big brand in late-night, right? >> it is. it's interesting watching the landscape of these talk shows. which have so many talk shows, when i started out there was just the tonight show, johnny carson. it was the only show to do. other shows came along like letterman and ar seenio hall, and now there's a pl

[ laughter ] >> man, he had a cart full of crap, i mean, it was piled on there, like, all these -- he actually bought some man stuff for once. >> jimmy: you know he came right back and returned all that stuff as soon you were out of his sight. >> he was showing me pictures of your barn with -- >> jimmy: i built a barn, yeah. >> impressive. r

but ben carson?he was a fox news contributor. >> that's how he built some of his name recognition. >> you poll him in iowa he polls better in iowa and new hampshire. he has been there frequently. he has staff in each of the states. he can be a real surprise as we start hitting the road. >> i think a lot of people look at ben carson and don't think this is a guy who will make it in the long run but this is someone who could shake up the race if he doesn't make it in the long run, right? with some of the folks that he appeals to with fact he can play the role of upset in iowa? >> he can make people nervous who are not only the establishment candidates but vying for that top conservative candidate the hard right-winger. it's very difficult -- it will be a real challenge environment. >> a spoiler then for, i think a rand paul or ted cruz who can go the distance but don't have that sort of support with the grassroots. >> i want to end here on a bit of a talker. there's a story coming out of hawaii first r
