BUT FIRST, THE G.O.P. RACE IS HEATING UP.
DONALD TRUMP IS STILL IN THE LEAD WITH 25% IN THE POLLS.
BUT RIGHT BEHOUND HIM -- RIGHT BEHIND HIM, AND GAINING GROUND
IS THIS MAN.
>> I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN.
I-- I-- I'VE WATCHED POLITICIANS DO THAT.
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, I PREPARE EVERY DAY, AND I'M LEARNING MORE
THINGS EVERY DAY.
>> Trevor: AH, BEN CARSON.
FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE DONALD TRUMP'S IDEAS BUT HATE HIS CHARM
AND CHARISMA.
( LAUGHTER )
BEN CARSON'S LIKE THE DRUG-FREE COCAINE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T
WANT TO GET HIGH, BUT JUST LIKE SNORTING WHITE POWDER.
( LAUGHTER )
BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT EVEN THE DOCTOR'S CALM HAS BECOME TOO
CRAZY FOR SOME.
YOU SEE, YESTERDAY, BEN CARSON ASKED HOW HE WOULD RESPOND
IF A GUNMAN LIKE THE ONE IN THE OREGON SHOOTING CONFRONTED HIM,
AND IT DIDN'T GO WELL.
>> RISING G.O.P. STAR DR. BEN CARSON IS UNDER FIRE AFTER
MAKING CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS ABOUT GUN CONTROL.
>> I WOULD NOT JUST STAND THERE AND LET HIM SHOOT ME.
I WOULD SAY, "HEY, GUYS.
EVERYBODY ATTACK HIM.
HE MAY SHOOT ME, BUT HE CAN'T GET US ALL."
>> TAKE ACTION.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Trevor: HA, HA, HA. I DON'T GET IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I ALSO DON'T GET IS THAT BEN CARSON REALLY THINKS
THAT HE COULD RALLY PEOPLE AGAINST A MASS SHOOTER.
( LAUGHTER )
I THINK HE'S OVERESTIMATING HOW INSPIRING HIS PRESENCE MIGHT BE.
( LAUGHTER )
YOU'RE GONNA SHOOT ME?
HEY, GUYS, LISTEN UP.
I NEED YOU ALL TO RALLY BEHIND MY CHARISMATIC PRESENCE, AND
CHARGE WITH ME IN A CERTAIN DEATH.
WHO'S WITH...
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
LOOK, IN CARSON'S DEFENSE, THOUGH, HE MAY HAVE BEEN CAUGHT
OFF GUARD.
GIVEN TIME TO THINK, I'M SURE HE'D CLARIFY WHAT HE MEANT.
>> WHAT NEEDS CLARIFICATION.
>> I GUESS THE IMPLICATION THAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE STUDENTS
DIDN'T DO ENOUGH TO SAVE THEMSELVES.
>> NO, I SAID NOTHIGN ABOUT THEM. I SAID WHAT I WOULD DO.
I WOULD ASK EVERYBODY TO TALK THE GUNMAN BECAUSE HE CAN ONLY
SHOOT ONE OF US AT A TIME.
THAT WAY WE DON'T ALL WIND UP DEAD.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Trevor: HA, HA, HA, HA.
WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY, IT IS PRETTY FUNNY.
EVERYONE IS NOT DEAD.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS GUY, CHASTISING VICTIMS OF A SHOOTING
FOR WHAT YOU ASSUME WAS THEIR COWARDICE IS WHAT MOST NORMAL
CANDIDATES WOULD CONSIDER A GAFFE.
BUT I WILL ADMIT-- BEN CARSON DOES PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THE MEDIA KEPT TAKING SHOTS AT HIM, HE
KEPT CHARGING INTO THOSE INTERVIEWS.
>> THE ACCUSATION THERE, DR. CARSON, IS THAT YOU APPEARED
TONE DEAF AND THAT YOU SEEMED CALLOUS IN THE LAUGHTER ABOUT
A MASSACRE AND WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE.
>> NO, I'M LAUGHING AT THEM AND THEIR SILLINESS.
>> WHO?
WHO?
>> THE PEOPLE ASKING THAT QUESTION.
IF YOU SIT THERE AND LET HIM SHOOT YOU ONE BY ONE, YOU'RE ALL
GOING TO BE DEAD.
>> Trevor: "LET HIM SHOOT YOU?"
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "LET HIM SHOOT YOU?"
WHAT DO YOU REALLY EXPECT THE VICTIMS TO DO?
BEN CARSON, I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.
THIS GUY WOULD MAKE THE WORST HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR EVER.
"ALL RIGHT, SIR, I NEED YOU TO STAY CALM AND PUT YOUR GUN DOWN.
EVERYONE ELSE RUSH HIM!
RUSH HIM NOW!
RUSH HIM!"
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DEAD?
WELL, AT LEAST IT WASN'T EVERYONE.
( LAUGHTER )
THERE ARE ALSO A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT CARSON WOULD LIKE TO
CHANGE.
>> YOU SAID THAT YOU'D BE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH KINDERGARTEN
TEACHERS HAVING GUNS IN THE CLASSROOM?
>> NOT ALL KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS.
I SAID PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAINED.
>> YOU WANT THAT TEACHER TRAINED?
>> I WANT THAT TEACHER TRAINED IN DIVERSIONARY TACTICS.
>> Trevor: WHO ARE YOU!
WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS AN EDUCATION
POLICY!
THIS IS NOT AN EDUCATION POLICY!
KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS CAN BARELY HANDLE A ROOM FULL OF
FIVE-YEAR-OLDS AND NOW YOU WANT THEM TO BE NAVY SEALs?
MADDOX, I ASKED YOU TWICE TO STOP PULLING CHELSEA'S HAIR.
NOW YOU GET A FLASHBANG GRENADE!
GET ON THE GROUND!
IT'S NAP TIME ( BLEEP )!
BUT THERE'S A REASON WHY CARSON THINKS IT'S UP TO THE VICTIMS TO
REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE, BECAUSE FOR HIM THERE'S SOMETHING MUCH
SCARIER THAN A MASS SHOOTING.
>> IN A FACEBOOK QUESTION-AND-ANSWER SESSION, HE
WROTE, "THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS SENSELESS VIOLENCE IS
BREATHTAKING BUT I NEVER SAW A BODY WITH BULLET HOLES THAT WAS
MORE DEVASTATING THAN TAKING THE RIGHT TO ARM OURSELVES AWAY."
>> Trevor: WOW.
THIS GUY MUST HAVE BEEN THE LEAST-POPULAR NEUROSURGEON TO
WORK WITH IN THAT HOSPITAL.
17-YEAR-OLD WHITE MALE, MULTIPLE GUNSHOT WOUNDS.
"THIS IS THE WORST I'VE EVER SEEN."
"ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE WORSE"-- "GODDAMN IT, CARSON.
THIS IS NOT TIME FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT ( BLEEP ) AGAIN!"
( APPLAUSE )
IT'S JUST-- IT'S JUST SHOCKING THAT SUCH A SMART MAN, A BRAIN
SURGEON, COULD HAVE THIS KIND OF PERSPECTIVE-- RUSHING A
GUNMAN?
IT SEEMS CRAZY.
I MEAN, THE ONLY TIME THAT I'VE SEEN IT WORK IS IN ONE
SITUATION.
YEAH.
IT'S WEIRD THAT BEN CARSON WOULD THINK A ZOMBIE STRATEGY WOULD BE
THE WAY TO GO.
UNLESS-- WAIT A SECOND, SLOW, LANGUID SPACE, DEAD EYES, LOVES
BRAINS?
OH, MY GOD, THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.
BEN CARSON IS A ZOMBIE!
WHOOO!
