harris, give us your take. you obviously know -- heard what carson originally said that sparked all of this.do you make of his qualification or clarification that he made just now in ohio? >> thank you. first of all, it seems like someone finally educated him on the constitution and what article vi says, which is why he's changing his point of view. it's still a qualification, right, that i can only support a muslim for president if he or she takes a special oath of allegiance to condemn shariah law. it's still a unique position to ever expected a candidate who s- believes in the bible to reject stoning for adultery or shaving a woman's head if she doesn't cover her head, the same way you don't expect a muslim to have to reject beliefs that are harbored by extremists in different parts of the world. we have to understand first what is shariah because he talks about that. it's supposed to be how you lay in compliance with following islam in your life. it's not meant to be a system of governance because islam doesn't legislate religion. it only talks about man's relationship with god. so, i th

harris is joining me on the phone. wonderful having you both on. caylee, let me begin with you. i know that ben carson wrote this in his book "america the beautiful." he wrote, as a christian i am not the least bit offended by the believes of muslims, mormons and so foth. i'm delighted to know that they believe in something that is more likely to make them into a reasonable human being as long as they don't allow the religion to be distorted by those seeking power and wealth. as far as ben carson is concerned, do you support what he said? >> i support ben carson just like donald trump. ben carson was very clear. his problem is with sharia law and he said clearly to the hill, if the muslim candidate disavowed sharia law, they can be a candidate. the european human rights council said it's destructive to democracy. >> harris, i want to make sure i get you in. let me press you on. you mentioned article vi a minute ago. for those keeping score and who aren't a as familiar provides that no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification under the united states. the first amendment of the constitut
