The new paul shows that the retired neurosurgeon the new retiredws that the neurosurgeon is backed by 28 of likely republicans, up by 10 . For dr. Kely to caucus carson are drawn by history and status as a nonpolitician. Site, go to the polling it shows a little bit of a breakdown of how republicans think about their first race and second choice for candidates. 28 show that dr. Ben carson would be the first choice. The second choice, 19 showing irsld trump would be the first choice, and a second choice, only 9 expressing that. Again, your thoughts on dr. Ben carson leading in iowa. Poll, buthat another poll showing that as well. 202 7488000 for carson supporters. 202 7488001 for donald trump supporters. If you support other gop candidates. Dr. Carson was on Bloomberg News , getting interviewed, not only about the poll, but other issues when it comes to the campaign. He differs inow policy, when it comes to donald trump. He listed two examples. Here is part of the interview from yesterday. [video clip] one would be on the taxation plan. He feels that a substantial number of people should be excluded from federal taxes, and i do not. Havel like everyone has to skin in the game. The other thing is on illegal immigrants. Anould give people opportunity, and it would be a defined period of time to register and pay back tax. Enalty it would be a path to legal status for people who are currently illegal now . To legal status, but not citizenship. Not deportation like donald trump suggests . I do not think that is practical. It was about 401 likely caucus participators , andcipating in the poll another with 500 participating, showing again, dr. Ben carson 2 28 toald trump, 20 . Tops donaldt carson trump, and men are divided by 25 backing been carson, and 24 backing donald trump. I, your thoughts on been carson. 202 7488000 for carson supporters. 202 7488001 for donald trump supporters. If you support other gop candidates. We will start this morning with chris and dallas, texas, a supporter of other candidates. First and foremost, what do you think about this latest information about ben carson . Caller i do not think it is oos uprising. Iowa has a strong evangelical base, and donald trump has struggled to connect with the evangelicals. I think the evangelicals were able to smell out one of their own and been carson, and that is who they are committed to. Who are you supporting currently . Caller im still undecided. Mr. Trump and mr. Carson both alarm me. They bring nothing as far as foreignpolicy experience to the table. I understand that many members of my party are attracted to an outsider, and i get that. The washington establishment has been bad. Washington the republicans, and they are a mess, a disaster we can not have a world leader who has never been on a world stage before. Dr. Carson, and for all of his ,irtues, he certainly has some knows nothing about foreignpolicy. He openly espouses that he will learn along the way. The last time there was a major storm here, about a month ago, he was asked what he would do in the event of a hurricane, and he said, i dont know. We are down the barrel of a hurricane right now. Concepts. Not abstract these are things that actually happened. Trumpfrontline for supporters, tony is in tampa, florida. Good morning. Caller i have a bigtime trump supporter. I think ben carson is out of his league. Lets be real. This guy has been city council, mayor, senator, nothing. In business. Zero and military. Bringhas a plan to jobs back. He knows how to deal with these foreign countries. If you read his book, he laid out that bin laden would be a problem. He was against the iraq war. Be cute saying he has no experience, but lets be honest, with bush and obama, what inhods did they make a the middle east with their great experience and advisors. I think trump is an organizer with experience. He will find the generals that will know exactly what to do. As a president , you do not have to be experienced in everything, you have to denote leadership. Trump gives us back. I look at ben carson and hear no issues from him. Unlimited a limited food stamps. He has no standard on anything. Even with emigration now, he is bending back on that. Before, he was totally against it. We have already put up with what president would no experience, who has gotten us into all kinds of problems financially. No law and order in the country, releasing prisoners, we cannot go down that road again. Again, the lines this morning. If you support been carson, 202 7488000. If you support donald trump, 202 7488001. If you support other candidates and the gop field, 202 7458002. Looking at the handling of issues, it is been carson that leads in one area, 31 of republicans think he can bot bet handle social issues. In other issues, it is donald trump leading on the economy, taxes, and illegal immigration. Also noting that both donald trump and marco rubio are close when it comes to foreignpolicy, dr. Ben carson coming in at 9 on this idea of foreignpolicy. A trump supporter from alabama is next. This is blake. Hello. Think mr. Trump is producing superbly for iowa. He has tactfully and established himself in iowa. He has next opportunity. Get he needs to very clear himself as an alternative candidate for the establishment. Of the real,s 20 hardcore conservatives, and religious people in iowa. There is nobody on the establishment side that has any chance in iowa. All he needs to do is but all his effort in the establishment category in iowa. If he wins iowa, if trump wins iowa, he will be the nominee. Theres no stopping him in New Hampshire or north carolina. Host been carsons campaign putting out ads about his campaign. Here is one called we the people that is airing. [video clip] this country was designed around, we the people. We did it government that understands that and does not think it is the ruler of the people. Im learning from the crowds that they are hungry for some honesty and Real Solutions to the problems that ls. Ive been carson and i approved this message. Host gary is up next, line for other gop candidates from iowa. Republicanm a former. F 30 years i have been an evangelical activist for most of that time. My buddy and i are always working at the church to get christians involved. They think politics is dirty and want to throw to the dogs. We have been working at the church. The thing about ben carson im a little nervous here my wife and i are heading off to a cruz rally this morning. My pastor and i have gone around about politics, whether christians should be involved or not. He is all in for carson. Ive never seen anything like it, the involvement the i am. Eeing they like his style. They like his softspoken. They feel he is honest. For years, it has been a challenge to get christians involved in quote unquote dirty politics to clean it up. Now, we really got something. Cruz. Ll in for ted i do like carson, but something is really going on at the evangelical base in iowa. Im very close to it. Thank you. Host j is on our line for those that support dr. Carson. From maryland, hello. Caller hi. I like carson because of the fact that he seems to take a logical approach to things, not trying to ride the tide of the he is trying to approach things logically. We really need to do that in this country. Host as far as these recent polls, do you think this will bear itself out as far as in leading and i what . In iowa . Caller it is hard to say. I do stand there is a portion of evangelicals that support him perhaps i dohat not. Im not a good barometer for the rest of the country, but to the sayingthat what hes makes sense, i think that will bode well for the rest of the campaign. Host on twitter, robert says that carsons comments trump trump every day. Jodi says, there is more than a year to go before the election, we cannot Read Everything into. He new leader in the polls ask your thoughts on dr. Ben carson, two new polls show him leading in iowa. Cameron from union, washington sorry, albert from chicago, illinois, trump supporter. Just want to piggyback on something that the first caller said, regarding ben carsons lack of foreignpolicy experience. I saw the breakdown in one of those polls where 42 of voters the attraction was his lack of foreignpolicy experience. That will go a long way at the next g8 summit. What will he talk about . The bible and brain surgery . Host when it comes to donald trump, what does he bring to the foreignpolicy field, why do you support him . Caller actually, i dont support donald trump. My view of the republican field, i will just say this, i know ive not qualified to be president. I know that about myself. I am more qualified than any one of those. Host again, republicans only this round, especially if you youchoosing one that support. Been carson supporters, 202 7488000. Donald trump supporters, 202 7488001. Cameron, a trump supporter from washington. You are next. Caller i would like to say a couple of comments about how i support drum. I would like to ask you first, pedro, at cspan, i watch every morning, and i dont think i have ever seen you have the same guest on in a short amount of time. Im referring to lanny davis, i think you have him on twice in one week. That was proceeding this Important Committee hearing for Hillary Clinton. It almost seemed to me to be activist, down someone who is so in the camp of the clintons to have him on twice. Has that happened before . What let me explain happened. We had lenny davis scheduled for our program on monday from houston. Was starting to fade, and fat, we could not get a signal, so we ended the segment early. With that in mind, we invited on because it failed on monday. That is why that happened on money. Monday. You for clearing that up. I did not know that. The reason i support donald trump is the reason that some others have, first of all, jobs. He understands business, he loves this country. Sort of predicting what is good and bad, that is true. Debt, andt the tax reduce base, he wants to burdenes, reduce the tax on business. I heard that ireland has a 7 Corporate Tax that will be a vacuum for corporations to move to ireland. He understands business. I also appreciate that he is using his own money initially. He is not bought and sold by wall street or any lobbyist. I would honor that by making a donation to him. I think, as time goes on, there will be even more information coming out. From his tax plan, he has a lot to offer. I want to make a point too that ben carson would not be as good of a candidate because he does not have so much business experience. , andhing they both have their favor, they are not liars. I do not want to criticize the president , but he is a liar, and extreme liar, so is Hillary Clinton. One last point, the caller from texas that called first cause days,every three identifies as republican, but goes for the throat of conservatives. Supportsyton, who other gop candidates, you are next up. Caller speaking on behalf of carson and trump, i know they are smart men. Think they are qualified to run the government. I do not think have enough experience in Foreign Policy and dealing with other world leaders. I do not think they have what it takes to run the government. Businessmen, and sparkman, as they are, but as far as and they are, but as far as dealing with other countries, our allies, i do not think they have enough experience. Host is their current gop candidate that you are supporting the hazmat . Caller yes, there is. I believe he is a godfearing , and standing behind his word. Host who is that . Caller not because i am from arkansas, but governor mike huckabee. I think he has a lot to bring to the table. For governor, of arkansas, a few years, i think he will turn america around again. Clayton from arkansas. The wall street journal takes a look at the recent polls and talks about the can see of donald trump. Host here is donald trump from last night at a town hall event in miami, talking about the new poll numbers that came out in iowa. [video clip] my wife called, she said, are you ok, how bad is it . They make it sound like it is the greatest defeat in history. It would not have even been mentioned, it would not be a story, but then, i said to myself, look, going to be nice. Im going to be nice because i have to talk about it. [indiscernible] thank you. Ben carson is the one leading in iowa. I said, i have to talk about it. A friend of mine, who happens to be a great, great athlete, he happens to be africanamerican, he calls himself black. Say that, its not politically correct. Its true. He said, donald, you are the greatest trash talker that ever lived. I said, i never thought i would say about white guy. You believe this . I said, i do not know if that is true or not. He said, when you said, low energy for bush, you do find him so incredibly. It was over. He can have 125 million in the bank, its over. It was just defined. I said, been carson is super low energy, right . Super low energy. We need tremendous energy. Host if you want to see the full event that took place in miami, go to our website at cspan. Org and see it there. Lets hear from a carson supporter in pennsylvania. Hi, bruce. You are on, go ahead. Caller ok. We need people like ben carson people in washington have special interests, they just want to keep their jobs. We have to put an end to this. As far as the democrats and Hillary Clinton, the only thing is she will sell the other half of our plutonium to russia. Host if you shows common sense, what is a policy area where he shows common sense, a specific one . Caller common sense is getting the professional people to deal with Foreign Policy. Our president , he has people who advised him on Foreign Policy. He is an ideologue. He does not listen. People, that support other nations are starting to turn away from us because he does not take the advice that he gets. He goes by what he wants, and what he thinks. , i willng about people do this for you, that for you, then, when you get in, although, you elected me to do these things, but i think this should be done. These people should be held accountable. There is no accountability in the political system today. Host lets hear from caprice in virginia, who supports other gop candidates. Good morning. Caller thank you for taking my call. I understand very much why people want to vote for donald trump and ben carson. They both have really great ideas. I really believe that. I would pray that the people of iowa take the time to take a good look at ted cruz. To me, he is the new patrick henry. He is the person that loves this country with all his heart and it, andd has fought for stood, and then honest, and told the truth. He is the whole ball of wax. He is everything. I do hope that the people iowa will take a good look at him before they decide to cast their vote for someone else. Host ted cruz participating in iowa yesterday, also participating in a cspan callin, we will show you a bit of that in a moment. We also want to highlight an event going on in iowa, this one featuring democrats. A write up about it in the New York Times this morning. Host again, the Jefferson Jackson dinner takes place at 9 00 this evening. You can watch it live on cspan. Bernie sanders, Martin Omalley, Hillary Clinton participating. Find out more information on it at cspan. Org. Forn is up next, line support of other gop candidates, he is from iowa. Caller i have a couple of comments about ben carson. And hope youll give me the time to make the comments. I will be quick. I think been carson, while he is probably certainly a talented brain surgeon, really lacks a lot of common sense outside the surgery room. I think, first of all, he would d perpetuate and make worse the drug war, and secondly, probably because of his religious views. He wants me to comment on tv that he thought people only become gay, or some be like that, because they go to prison, and they become gay in prison. Showt think that does not , whatever. Nfused host kansas city, missouri, a donald trump supporter. Caller joni. Would ber. Carson absolutely perfect, and i hope somebody appoints him. I hope president tromp appoints him as director of health, education, and welfare. I think that would be perfection. I would never support him for president. Lifelongaunch democrats, and no one is asking parents, and, uncles, they have always been democrats, i have always voted voting for i will be donald trump as president , why will not vote for president. I do not care if there were 50 or 100 people with billions and billions of dollars, they would not spend one cent of their own money. He is doing this. Cannot stand the super pacs they do run everything. Anything excepting those anyone excepting those, i would have nothing to do with it. Host brad, michigan, line for donald trump supporters. Caller i have a statement about donald trump, and all politicians, and the precious polls. I do not believe the polls. The poll is built around what they want the poll to say. Im very dubious about poll results. I wish there were some that i could believe, by really do not believe any of them. Host 202 7488000 for carson supporters. 202 7488001 for trump supporters. 202 7458002 if you support other gop candidates. Politico put together a list of 10 carsons most controversial quotes, they call it. To highlight one, on nazi germany, i think the likelihood of hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the i grew been armed up in the slums of detroit, and saw plenty of gun violence, both of my cousins were killed on the streets, as a doctor, i pulled bullets out of the body, by. Ve politico. Nd that at donna is calling in from georgia, go ahead. Caller i was just calling to respond to the poll. Of course, we have got to have leadership. That is missing in this country, that we dont have. My first choice is ted cruz. My second choice would be been carson. Exemplify theoth things that we are fighting for for this country to survive. Host let me ask you, what keeps been carson from being a first choice to you . Guest i think it is his lack of experience. That would be my number one. Offthecuff. Host what is it about senator cruz that he is first choice for you . Caller he is experienced. He is a senator. He has a background. He shows very he takes a strong positions, and is not afraid to be challenged
