00:01:49.000Uh, spent my first, uh, several years here.
00:01:53.000And, you know, Detroit gets a bad rap all the time about being a horrible place, but I can tell you for certain There were a lot of people here who thought the right way, who believed in America, who encouraged me to climb the ladder of opportunity and that you could do anything that you could imagine.
00:02:11.000And they believed in the difference between right and wrong and law and order.
00:02:18.000But what has happened is that a lot of people who actually think the right way and have the right values aren't willing to stand up for them.
00:02:31.000And the fact of the matter is, you cannot be the land of the free if you're not the home of the brave.
00:02:38.000You gotta be able to stand up for what you believe in.
00:02:44.000So Dr. Carson, I believe you are one of the most impressive and important Americans alive today.
00:03:00.000You have saved countless lives personally and you've also impacted millions of people through your testimony and through your public advocacy.
00:03:08.000I want to stay on Detroit for just a second.
00:03:11.000Your story from Detroit to being one of the top surgeons on the planet is a remarkable one and it's one that is only possible in America.
00:03:23.000I believe that if every black American learned more about Dr. Carson
00:03:28.000than critical race theory, our country would be in a much better place.
00:03:32.000And you know, there was a time when individuals like myself, who worked very hard, who believed in God,
00:03:50.000who believed in right and wrong, Values that made this into a great nation were celebrated, but now there's a faction that denigrates those people.
00:04:03.000Says that their Uncle Tom's and all kinds of things that they are called.
00:04:08.000They don't appreciate them because they're more interested in getting people to believe that their victims.
00:04:14.000And you know, teaching little white children that their ancestors are oppressors.
00:04:20.000And little black children and minorities that they're victims.
00:04:24.000Tell me, how is that supposed to make the country better?
00:04:28.000There's no way that that does anything except cause division.
00:04:38.000And remember this, you know, the United States of America is the major obstacle to one world government and Marxism In our system.
00:04:53.000And that's why that's why there's such an effort to overcome us.
00:04:59.000But they cannot overcome us militarily.
00:05:16.000And they drive wedges between the people on the basis of race, Age, income, gender, political affiliation, religion, you name it, driving wedges, getting us to hate each other, when the fact of the matter is our strength came through our unity.
00:05:35.000There were times in the early parts of our country where we had communities that were separated from each other by 100 miles, only 25, 50, 100 families.
00:06:47.000Dr. Carson, looking at Republican politics for the last 30 or 40 years, it is hard to find examples where candidates are willing to go into the Bronx or downtown Detroit.
00:06:59.000What is your takeaway or your impression of President Trump's willingness to go into communities that don't always overwhelmingly vote Republican?
00:07:07.000Well, you know, President Trump is not your typical politician.
00:07:11.000He doesn't run around with his finger in the air seeing which way the wind is blowing.
00:07:59.000The same thing at Trump Towers, all the places he actually communicates with people.
00:08:05.000He's not just using people like typical politicians do.
00:08:09.000And that's why the people in the Bronx and all these places where they don't expect him to have any traction, they recognize what's going on.
00:08:18.000The other thing is, Americans are a lot smarter than the news media and the leftists think they are.
00:08:25.000And they recognize that if we allow the leftists to succeed in using our justice system to prosecute and persecute their political opponents, If they're successful in doing that, we will not have the United States of America anymore.
00:08:53.000We will have the United States of Banana Republic.
00:08:58.000We will be the biggest banana republic in the world.
00:12:08.000And if you're a poll watcher, don't listen to the people who say you can watch the poll, but you gotta do it from way over there where you can't see anything.
00:14:49.000So, Dr. Carson, I'm so glad you brought that up.
00:14:51.000And this is an audience that loves the Lord and wants to honor God and honor country.
00:14:56.000What do you have to say, two parts, to the first part of the question I'll ask, to Christians who say, I think God is done with this country?
00:15:04.000I think that our worst days are ahead.
00:15:08.000I would respond to that by saying, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him cannot perish but have everlasting life.
00:15:19.000And secondly, please Dr. Carson, so just really quick, here in Michigan, our data analysis
00:15:43.000of Turning Point Action shows us that there are hundreds of thousands and close to maybe
00:15:49.000even 500 to 750,000 Christians that don't vote and or they passively vote.
00:15:57.000Even worse than that there are Christians that say, I don't know if I can vote for Donald Trump.
00:16:02.000How would you respond to both of those?
00:16:04.000Christians who don't vote or Christians that I would say the reason that we have the freedom that we have now and the ability to live in peace is because there were people before us who were willing to stand up for what they believed in.
00:16:24.000many of them not just to vote, they gave their lives so that we could have freedom and peace in our country.
00:16:33.000And I would ask them the question, what are you willing to do for your children?
00:16:43.000Because what we do today will have a dramatic impact on the kind of life that they will have.
00:16:50.000The debts that they have to pay, the people that they have to deal with, the principles that they will value or not value, depending on how we present them.
00:17:03.000We've got to remember, this is the United States of America.
00:17:33.000You might say, what is a low-propensity voter?
00:17:36.000A low-propensity voter is your Uncle Frank who complains all the time that grocery prices are too high, that crime is going up, that the country is not what it used to be, but he doesn't vote.
00:17:50.000Raise your hand if you know somebody like that in your life.
00:17:53.000Every person raising your hand, you've got to go find that Uncle Frank, register him to vote, and tell him it is their duty to go vote for Donald Trump or I never want to hear your complaining ever again.
00:18:05.000Dr. Carson, how do we best identify, register, find those low-propensity voters?
00:18:13.000This election will be determined by whether or not we are able to translate the concern that the everyday American has for the direction of the country into ballots and votes.
00:18:26.000All we have to do is get people to open their eyes and look and see what's going on.
00:18:32.000Just like with Benjamin Harrison, And Grover Cleveland, it's the same situation.
00:18:37.000We're fortunate in the sense that we've had these two administrations juxtaposed right next to each other.
00:18:45.000You don't have to remember back 20 years or 30 years ago.
00:18:48.000You just have to remember three or four years ago to see what was going on and what's going on now.
00:18:54.000And we're going to continue down this downward spiral unless we change it.
00:18:58.000And like I said, our founders gave us the ability to change it.
00:19:03.000But we have to take advantage of that.
00:19:31.000At Turning Point USA, our educational arm, we've been partnering with you and American Cornerstone, bringing Dr. Carson to college campuses across the country.
00:19:40.000And he has been selling out auditoriums, by the way, and doing a great job.
00:19:48.000What have you witnessed, seen, or maybe even learned from these college campus visits that might be helpful for our audience to hear?
00:19:58.000Thrilled to see those young people because they recognize that the pathway that we're on right now will preclude them realizing the American dream.
00:20:09.000They realize that we need to make a course correction.
00:21:03.000When Alexis Tocqueville came here in 1831 to study our nation, he was blown away by the fact that he could find a mountain man in the middle of the forest and the guy could read.
00:21:14.000The guy could tell him about the Declaration of Independence.
00:21:37.000But the fact of the matter is, you have to dumb down the population first In order to get people who already have a wonderful situation to accept something worse than what they have.
