mr. carson. mr. carson: thank you mr. speaker, mr. gohmert. already a grave and growing and exiss ten rble threat to israel a nuclear-armed iran would be a closal horrific game changer. it would launch a nuclear arms race in what is already the world's most dangerous neighborhood. we all know that this must not be allowed to happen. the islamic republic of iran's nuclear ambitions are made more dire when considering that they are the world's most dangerous state supporter of islamic extremist terrorism. with a destabilizing presence in lebanon, in syria, and in iraq. mr. clawson: and iran's financial and military support for the rebels in yemen has already led to the collapse of the government. thus iran today exerts major influence not just in rebel territories, but in four middle east capitals beirut, baghdad, damascus and sanah. the crisis in yemen threatens to launch yet another civil war in the region and this severely handcuffs u.s. counterintelligence, counterterrorism operations against a.q.a.p. islamists in iran and elsewhere repeated

mr. carson. i believe dr. carson is an intelligent, very well minded person, should speak his mind in how to run our country and how to make relationships with other countries work. i just think that we are wearing ourselves out saying we are going to vote for an independent if we don't agree with of the republican candidate. we have got to get over that attitude because independents are not a strong field, and we can never vote in an independent . we have to stand through and vote republican. we don't hear the democrats fracturing their party. the democrats always vote democrat. you don't hear them voting a progressive. it is a democrat-progressive. host: on the democratic side there is some talk of senator bernie sanders, looking at a bid for the presidency in 2016, the independent from vermont. and of course, elizabeth warren, a lot of folks want her to run. both senators -- you have the republican senators that are looking for a potential bid, all of this playing out on the floor of the 114th congress alre

mrs. palin has nod held public office for six years or so. people like her and ben carsonho is also crazy, but at least is a medical doctor. but she's been pushed off the stage by people who appeal more to the republican base at this particular moment. >> so what is it that the republican dna that they're drawn to people that you just described? >> that's a really excellent question. i think part of it is the martyr status. that think think by supporting people who are criticized in the mainstream media, even if they're legitimately criticized for saying stupid things wrong things, that this is somehow because the liberal media are afraid of these people. that that's the reason they're being criticized. i honestly think this is what they believe. of course. it's utter nonsense. you have to think no conservative reads legitimate newspapers like the "washington post" and "the new york times." they get 100% of their information from their own approved right-wing sources that massage all this data so that they actually believe things utterly and completely nonsensical. >> and

mr. president, you ought to know that this nation is more a tale of two cities than it is just a shining city on a hill. >>> welcome back. first ben carson, now mike huckabee, conservatives stepping down from fox positions to explore running for president in 2016, a dozen, maybe 15 or 16 republicans now giving the race an active look and the pressure is higher because jeb bush is geting aggressive so early. so as we welcome 015, let's refresh our memories about where the 2016 field stands. here's some of the candidates and potential candidates. governor huckabee we mentioned if we look at our polling over the years he's dropped a little bit in the last year, this goes back to last january 2014. he's dropped a little bit but remember he won the iowa caucuses two campaigns ago. rand paul how'd he do last year, down a little bit. governor chris christie of new jersey, waiting for his decision about the same over the past year. if the republicans have a front-runner it's the former governor of florida jeb bush. he started to actively explore running for president so you see that spike. let's look at the democrats. liberal would love massachu

reverend carson, because the sunday morninger is month was deliveredy andre carson, to round out the hip-hop generation. >> thank you, mr. clyburn. i think coming from the hip-hop generation, all those times in high school when i should have been paying attention, i was rapping in the lunchroom, came in handy at some point. but what makes jim clyburn and leader pelosi so special is that yes, they are older, if you will, but they care about young people. they really care about making an investment in the next generation of leaders. you know, i am reminded, leader pelosi talks about the sentiment of the people. even when congress failed to act properly it was the sentiment of the people that forced abraham lincoln to free the slaves. even when congress failed to act rightly, it was the sentiment of the people that forced president truman to desegregate the military. and even when we had a congress looking at its poll numbers it was the sentiment of the people and their respective districts to force congress to do the right thing and have lyndon johnson sign the voting rights act. we have come to a great question. i'm remi

mr. undecided is leading the pack. there's a lot of excitement in the room for dr. ben carson whose never held office. got some of the beltway favorites like senator ted cruz will be here. then you've got the governors who, will try to show they have a record of accomplishment in their respective states that they can way take to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. i think the one thing you'll see today is a lack of fear to run against bill clinton and hillary clinton and all of clinton candidacy would mean. and that is saying something, we know if she runs she will have all the kings horses the money machine, media public frankly helping her along. and for these people to take the stage and even consider running against such a juggernaut in 2016 tells you how committed they are to providing an alternative point of view. >> this is interesting strategically of course, the republicans want to play the underdog against the big clinton machine, we see that taking shape there, casey, let me ask you about one of the high profiles chris christie it's been explained to me that the christie strategy as it relates to ste
