ben carson to help make happen. mr. trump says dr. carson is a tough competitor who never gives up. the one-time republican presidential candidate did say recently he picked up a lot living in the inner city as a child and he doesn't think any job is going to be as complex as neurosurgery so he thinks he should be able to learn the finer points of any position if confirmed. but the top democrat in the senate is not convinced. senator chuck schumer said i have serious concerns about dr. carson's lack of expertise and speerns in dealing with houses issues. nancy polocy said there's no evidence that dr. carson brings the necessary credentials to hold a position with such immense responsibilities and impact on families across america. and then the council, cair said dr. carson's views on islam, american muslims and the world are dangerously ill-informed and could negatively impact any government agency he leads. dr. ben carson has been quiet on this but saying that he is proud to serve his country. >> joining us now, mo lee fi, the founding executive director and fox news contribute are

carson's position was he preferred that mr. trump could find someone that could fit the role of what he wanted. he would have preferred to stay in private industry but that's not what mr. trump wanted. he wants dr. carson on his cabinet and he's glad to serve. >> this nomination was just weird when you consider all of the ways that ben carson has a disconnect with reality. if dr. carson is confirmed, he'll not only be -- he won't be the only conspiracy theorist in trump's inner circle. take general michael flynn, trump's national security adviser. he's been a frequent contributor to the conspire see theorists on twitter and general flynn's son, also his chief of staff and we know how a government transition e-mail account already has been pushing a hillary clinton sex ring conspiracy theory that involves a pizza restaurant in washington, d.c., and he continued to push that theory over the past day, even after a gunman entered that very restaurant and fired at least one shot. the gunman reportedly telling police he was there to

it took a couple of weeks for ben carson to push around. that's in line with the reporting that i had and halie had it the last couple of weeks. they did not had the experience to lead a bureaucracy for hud or any of the department administration which was notable at the time. this was a man who had run for president during the course of 2016 campaign. >> a lot of people say this deserves a lot of over sigh sights -- it waits to be seen. ben, let me bring you in here, we have a loyalist certainly of ben carson. i want to get you on the record of a potential of john hunts man and the value he brings of secretary of state over mitt romney. explain the rivalry between mitt romney and john huntsman and how mitt romney is not a happy man today. >> i think mitt romney would be happy of having the competition in this. >> come on, now. >> he and john huntsman have had similar background and huntsman has been an ambassador to china which qualifies him for foreign work. >> donald trump threw out many of his picks and wanted to set up a competition be

carson said, dr. ben carson was not, in fact, interested in leading a federal agency. when his name was mentioned for health and human services. at the time, because dr. carson didn't have experience leading a federal agency and didn't believe that was his strength. then you go back to two weeks ago, and donald trump tweeted he was, in fact, considering dr. carson for hud secretary. and then it was just on wednesday, last week, that dr. carson put on his facebook page that an announcement was imminent. the question is, what changed here? you'll remember to back in december when dr. carson actually took donald trump on a tour of the blight the neighborhoods of detroit, including his boyhood home. so perhaps dr. carson believes he has insight into this. of course, hud is responsible for providing rental assistance to low-income families. also working on cleaning up some blight in inner cities. perhaps dr. carson believing he can make his mark. already the backlash has been swift. several democrats speaking out against his nomination. nancy pelosi, the house mine hort min

carson's position was he preferred that mr. trump could find someone that could fit the role of what he wanted. he would have preferred to stay in private industry but that's not what mr. trump wanted. he wants dr. cars on on his cabinet and he's glad to serve. >> this nomination was just weird when you consider all of the ways that ben carson has a disconnect with reality. if dr. carson is confirmed, he'll not only be -- he won't be the only conspiracy theorist in trump's inner circle. take general michael flynn, trump's national security adviser. he's been a frequent contributor to the conspire see theorists on twitter and general flynn's son, also his chief of staff and we know how a government transition e-mail account already has been pushing a hillary clinton sex ring conspiracy theory that involves a pizza restaurant in washington, d.c., and he continued to push that theory over the past day, even after a gunman entered that very restaurant and fired at least one shot. the gunman reportedly telling police he was there to

just a few weeks ago, carson's confidant armstrong williams told nbc news that carson wouldn't be qualified to run a government agency. he told "the hill" specifically, "dr. carson feels he has no government experience, he's never run a federal agency. the last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency." that same day, carson himself gave an interview saying he'd only consider a cabinet position in trump absolutely needed him. having me as a federal bureaucrat would be like a fish out of water, quite frankly. he had an amazing accomplishment in the career of medicine, he has zero experience in housing and urban development and could be leading an agency of 8400 employees. some democrats were quick to condemn the appointment, including senator sherrod brown. senator, you put out a pretty critical to skeptical statement about dr. carson. what's your concern? >> well, my concern starts with the boss. donald trump's first interaction with the federal government is when the nixon administration justice department found him guilty and came to an agreement, a

carson. >> in hindsight, i am sure carson did not appreciate the statements. when carson was the chief at pediatric at johns hopkins and he hired young surgeons. i wonder he is a nice guy and he did well driving a truck. i always thought running huge federal agencies where experience or amount of interest in the issue demonstrated over the years was a qualification. i guess i was wrong about that. >> greg, i hear a lot of affirmative sounds coming from washington now. you agree with what ellis said? >> if i tore my knee up this afternoon and needed acl surgery, i would want an orthopedic surge who hon who ha a couple before. >> let me read you the statement that mike huckabee said about this. nancy pelosi said carson is unqualifi unqualified. he is first hud secretary to actually live in government housi housing. fancy nancy pelosi said he is not qualified. is she racist or just dumb? leave the racist out of it. does the fact that carson grew up and came from public housing. does that give him an understanding that others won't have? >> obviously he is an exce

>> it's a mistake in setting protection by carson wentz. down to the fourth right tackle as they are, going against a guy like ryan kerrigan, you want someone double teaming kerrigan. it was a break down of protection. >> especially the way he dominated the team early in the season. now to the full highlights with jeff scaversky. jeff? >> the eagles making mistake after mistake costing them the fourth straight loss. eagles lead 28 points on the field, two turnovers in the red zone plus long snapper injuries. carson wentz and the eagles have had injuries out of the gate and continues today in the red zone. wentz picked off. another game without a touchdown in the eagle's opening quarter. second quarter, eagles down one, under one to play in the half. wentz throws to the shortest guy on the field, darren sproals. eagleeagles with the first halfe lead in weeks. not for long. kurt cousins today sean jackson, 80-yards. what a catch. you want him back? you never know. touchdown, eagles down 13-14, the shot to retake the lead. sellic comes in, bot

i think that ben carson has the aptitude to do great things but i think ben carson's adviser himself a couple weeks ago said that ben carson wasn't ready or qualified to be a cabinet head. i think he's made some troubling statements in the past and the list goes on and on and on. ben carson actually doesn't believe in the fair housing act, for an example. i look forward to his confirmation hearing. but i do think that ben carson kind of fits this mold of just grabbing someone and placing them somewhere and hopefully they'll fit. we'll just have to see. i'm willing to give ben carson a chance because for many of us, regardless of his politics, ben carson has been a hero. politically speaking, the policies i don't adhere to but he's still a hero so hopefully he will do well. our country needs him to. >> so ben carson is this brilliant surgeon so why not attorney general or something that maybe a doctor is expert in? >> yeah. like health and human services, maybe? i don't know the answer to that question. >> andre, do you know? >> well, i don't know specifically but -- i can hear you ju

carson in his cabinet and he's going to have to serve. >> as you might expect carson was something of a controversial choice. although house speaker paul ryan called him "a shining example of overcoming poverty" and head he will psaid he will put the focu on dignity rather than dependance. senator lindsey graham called him "guided by strong conservative principles." senator mcconnell said little about carson's qualifications and democrats were much more direct. nancy pelosi called him "a disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice." chuck schumer said, "someone who is as anti-government as him is a strange fit for housing secretary, to say the least." senator sherrod brown of ohio said, "cities coping with crumbling infrastructure and families struggling to afford overhead can't afford a hud secretary whose spokesman said he doesn't believe he's up for the job." >>> after a month-long trial which included testimony from 55 witnesses the prosecution of michael slager has ended. >> members of the jury, i have received a note that says we as a jury regret to inform the court that d

now carson is racing eyebrows again as donald trump's nominee to be secretary of housing. >> ben carson is a formal presidential candidate and world renowned neurosurgeon but has no experience in housing or government. >> i grew up in inner city and spent a lot of time there and have dealt with a lot of patients from that area. and recognize that we cannot have a strong nation if we have weak inner cities. >> reporter: during the primary carson was critical to fight housing segregation. >> this is what you see in communist countries. where they have so many regulations encircling ever aspect of your like where if you don't agree all they have to do is pull the noose. >> and trusting the government to get it right can prove downright dangerous. trump has pledged to revive the country's inner cities. >> what the hell do you have to loose? >> though trump accused carson in the primaries of the embellishing his own experience grewing up in detroit. including a game of trying to stab a friend. how dare the press not believe me that i went after my mother with a hammer. that i hit somebody in

. >> no, i'm talking about people besides carson. carson is swampy to me for other reasons. i don't think he is qualified for this role and that is you know, i have seen a lot out there on internet, talking about how liberals are saying that we're racist or dumb, neither of those things besides not having experience. he said thing, poverty is a choice. he is someone who seems to have turned his back on very programs who made him who he is. >> please. please. melissa: fred, what is it like to have people say because of your political beliefs you're either racist or stupid? gee, that never happens to people on the right. >> i never said that. melissa: people are saying that you are. that democrats are -- >> i would never say that about you guys. melissa: go ahead, fred. >> look i know ben carson pretty well. ben carson is one of the smartest people i know. i mean to be world's greatest brain surgeon, it takes a very smart person. he grew up in the inner-city of detroit. he worked for years, in johns hopkins hospital in baltimore where i have been treated there on more than one

carson. >> true. let's shift gears and talk about the phone call getting a lot of attention between president-elect trump and the leader of taiwan. there are all sorts of different theories about this that he's the president-elect, he can do whatever he wants. i think a lot of americans probably don't know of or care all that much about state department protocol but do you think this was deliberate? do you think he was really trying to send a message to china or was he just making a phone call? >> my understanding is it was a call from a duly elected taiwan official and that was made to mr. trump. also, i do not think that it is something that signifies any great change. the one china policy has not changed in mr. trump's comments about china have been consistent through the campaign and as he is into this transition. >> let's think about this. they have been consistent insofar as china's a problem for america in terms of currency, in terms of how much we depend on china. so there are some saying it m

. >> like you, i've known ben carson. i didn't know his political views. a brilliant pediatric neurosurgeon, one of the best of his times. i think he has insane political views. and i would really worry about what he would try to implement as secretary of any department. >> we will see. over the weekend, a little light heartedness, "saturday night live" did it again, they targeted trump's transition effort. let's watch them. >> next i'm going to do what i promised my whole campaign and i'm going to build that swamp. >> don't you mean drain the swamp and build the wall? >> no, that's too many things. just smoosh them together. smoosh! smoosh! >> well, once again, trump didn't like it. he tweeted an aggressive reaction to the show. just tried watching "saturday night live," unwatchable! totally bias! not funny. and the baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. sad. today trump tweeted in defense of his twitter habit. he wrote, if the press would cover me accurately and honorably, i would have far less reason to tweet. sadly, i don't know if that will h

carson wentz should be here a very long time. he's in the holiday spirit sending each offensive line man a penalized hunting shotgun as a christmas gift. if you think it's unusual and questioning the safety of giving out guns, the eagles players like it >> it's not an unusual gift. it's a gift. it's the thought that counts. appreciate it >> it's different but if you know carson, he's an outdoorsman. his passion is outdoors and he's sharing that with the guys and i personally george it >> the man want to get a shotgun, hey, he's a different breed. i'm not complaining. >> i'm lucky i got anything at all. >> leave it to lane for a little sense of humor. he'll also get a gun lock from cease fire pa, a gun violence prevention organization. still to come a former eagles quarterback weighing in on >>> award winning start, carson wentz thrown more interceptions than touchdowns but doug pederson says he's playing the best of the season. what does jaworski think >> the quarterback position is a dependant position. you depend on other peopl

ben carson doesn't have any experience either in running an agency. and, in fact, in talking to his business manager early on, this is one of the reasons why ben carson felt he didn't want to go into the administration, because he himself thought he was a novice and didn't have this kind of experience. so, you know, it will be interesting to see what he does with this multibillion dollar agency. >> his inexperience was his reason for not wanting to accept a health and human services secretary nomination, for example. now, on the other hand, carson does bring diversity to trump's cabinet, right? >> he does bring diversity. and one of the things you're seeing, it is a diverse cabinet, particularly at the lower level cabinet positions. typically if you look at the big four cabinet positions, defense, treasury, attorney general and state, it looks like those might be four white men. that's certainly a departure from what we saw from obama, who, of course, nominated eric holder and secretary clinton as well. and then if you look back at bush, he had colin
