[laughter] >> and he said he admired me >> i suspect you might have known that going in. let me play -- you said something, in talking about the economy, that really hit home with me. and that's about the deficit. $16.5 trillion we have. >> that is a number that is so mind-boggling. that's why i said if you counted one number, one number per second, it would take you 507,000 years. more than half a million years. it's a number that's just staggering and it's continuing to grow. you know, we sit around and we talk about maybe we can keep it from growing further. we need to reduce it. and the way to reduce it obviously is to get the economy growing again. you know, it doesn't really do any good to keep tak

dr. ben carson.t last week's national prayer breakfast not only set the blogosphere on fire, it had many asking him to run for office. an editorial board recently published a column that was entitled, quote, ben carson for president." i will ask him about that but first pollster frank luntz asked them to watch and dial the doctor's popular speech. >> sean, the words of benjamin carson has struck a chord with a lot of americans. we are here with a group of voters and we want to see what they think of his language. but before we go to them, we will go to the red and green lines. man, does this guy score well on the deficit and debt. >> our deficit is a big problem. think about it. and our national debt, $16.5 trillion. you think that's not a lot of money? i'll tell you what, count one number per second which you can even do because once you get to one thousand it takes longer than a second. do you know how long it would take you to count do 16 trillion at one number a second, 517,000 years, we have to

dr. carson.> thank you. good to be here. >> sean: you have gone viral. maybe not something you predicted in your life? >> usually in medicine when we think of viruses it is not a good thing. this one turned out to be very good because i have been overwhelmed by the responses. so many people are just the overjoyed to hear some common sense and i don't think that i put forth anything that is that intellectually challenging. it is just that it is so much better than most of what we are hearing from washington that it seems like a great redeveloppation and the important thing i think is to begin the dialogue. you know, some people say you can't say something like that in front of the president. when did this become a months we are the people.narchy. the president works for us. this is a country that is for of and by the people, not for of and by the government. that is the big battle we are in right now and we need to make a decision with our eyes open which country do we want to be. >> sean: interes

dr. carson.ed taxation at the national prayer breakfast, i stood up and cheered. the left, harshly critical saying the doctor's comments were inappropriate at a prayer meeting. i disagree entirely. dr. carson took a moral position, and that is entirely appropriate at a prayer meeting. further more, morality should be a part of the tax debate. the good doctor questioned the fairness of the president's fair share tax the rich policy. god, he said, wants a percentage and just because you're rich doesn't mean you should pay a triple percentage. and because you're not making much doesn't mean you should pay nothing. dr. carson thinks an equal percentage payment is fair. that's real skin in the game. i'm going to put my 2 cents worth in. is it moral to tell america that we can have all these handouts and entitlements and the rich will pay? no, it is not. surely, it is immoral to make that claim. you can tax the rich at 100%, and you still can't cover the cost of all these entitlements, and it is surely

dr. benjamin carson. dr. a lot has been made of the fact that some of the things you discussed in this speech are policies that are very contrary to the president. you talked at length about america's educational system failing, we're being dumbed-down is a phrase you used. the dangers of our debt and deficit. class warfare, which you spoke out against. the tax issue, health savings accounts, that rome can happen to america. what is your response to those that said, wow, you said that in front of the president? >> well, first of all, i should say that there's my own views. they don't represent the university that i'm employed by. but, you know, it really didn't matter who i was sitting in front of, because, you know, i always pray before i give a speech, and i ask god to give me the right things to say. i think that it's very rare these days for people to speak the truth. everybody wants to go along to get along. in the meantime the fabric of our nation is being destroyed. we're going from a can do nation to a
