On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace interviewed Presidential Candidate Ben Carson. In this interview, he questioned Carson on whether or not he believes everything that he says. Wallace also questioned Dr. Carson on his recent comparison of the United States to Nazi Germany, and his description of the Obama Care as the worst thing in America since slavery. Ben was also questioned on whether or not the President should observe a decision made by the Supreme Court. In response, Ben stated that he does believe everything he says, but most people misinterpret what he says. He then defended his comparison of the United States to Nazi Germany by saying most people conclude that he meant that Nasty Germany is completely like America. However, what he said is that the United States is like Nasty Germany, because they did not speak up for what they believed during Hitler’s rule. He defended his characterization of the Obama Care as the worst thing since slavery by explaining how he views the government as dictating to the American people what should be done, which isn’t the way things should be. He defended his statement on the President observing the Supreme Court decision by saying President Obama can pass the law, but doesn’t have to agree with it. The way Chris Wallace interviewed Ben Carson seemed to reflect his personal views on the earlier statements made by Dr. Carson. His opening statement, “So you say you are learning not to be so inflammatory in the language that
The November ninth episode plays a clip from an O’Reilly Factor episode that aired on April twelfth, 2011. In the 2011 footage, O’Reilly states: “The Factor investigation also showed that Mr. Obama was born in a Honolulu hospital and we stand by our reporting” (qtd. in “The O’Reilly Factor”). At the time in 2011, the news cycle was dominated by the “birther” controversy. The demand for President Obama’s birth certificate was heavily brought on by Republicans trying to discredit President Obama’s legitimacy. O’Reilly, labeled as a strong Republican, was actually one of the most outspoken commentators against the birther movement. O’Reilly’s denunciation of the birther movement is an example of his rejection to partisan agendas. In fact checking O’Reilly’s November Ninth episode, O’Reilly states the news reporters that have produced stories discrediting Republican candidate Ben Carson, in regard to his violent past, have been carless, especially since the information is easily accessible (“The O’Reilly Factor”). In a May 11, 1997 Parade article, Ben Carson’s mother, Sonya, confirms Ben’s narrative when asked about the story of Ben attempting to stab a classmate (Ryan 7). The statements made by O’Reilly are accurate and he takes pride in his
Ben shows in both texts that instead of hurting others with “tart words”, that we should instead love everyone, and to make no enemies. Life is too short to be bitter all the time and create unneeded grudges between others. Life is to make the best of it, not to spend it alone.
“Personally, I think the public deserves full and open access to candidates, and is made stronger and wiser by being allowed to compare candidates side by side in debates.”
In the article from The Atlantic, “American Institutions are Pushing Back Against Trump,” the author Peter Beinart discusses how the bureaucracy, judiciary, press, and public have been tirelessly working against Trump and his administration since his inauguration in January. Beinart goes on to speak about the problems that have already risen during Trump’s presidency and how various organizations and groups have been able to put a halt to some of his policies. By discussing topics like this, it shows that Peter Beinart’s viewpoint regarding Donald Trump is that he believes Trump is not fit for the presidency and does not agree with his beliefs.
He spoke of marriage being a sacred institution and a foundation of society that should not be re-defined by activist judges and how he supports and amendment that will protect it. Also that medical research needs to be supported to improve our culture of life. He tanked Congress for doubling the funding of the National Institute of Health. I
He spoke with a slight, yet noticeable accent and started his seminar with a little about his life and where came from. His passion for speaking about the view on Latinos comes from how the media portrays them. He really wanted his audience to walk away from this speech, with the view that all the illegal immigrants that came to America are not bad people. Also that the media, specifically Trump, paints them
Dr. Carson has excellent communication skills. He is a master at public speaking, which happens to be the number one fear of many people but it comes naturally to him. When called upon to talk and answer questions, he is the only candidate that appears to be unrehearsed when the others appear as if they are reading from a script or are very monotone and over-rehearsed. He is so well spoken that everyone understands what he is saying and they all walk away with the same thoughts rather than different interpretations. He is the only candidate that can explain government business using terms that anyone can understand. Anthony Zurcher, a US politics reporter with BBC News, says “It’s Mr. Carson’s particular gift that he can deliver lines like these in the calm voice of a physician informing his patient that the situation is dire, but that a cure is possible” (Zurcher) which clearly
The General is patriot and has abandoned his son. He regrets making Ben in the cause of everything that's happening. The General also regrets making Ben commit suicide. “Im sorry, Ben. I was sorry as soon as I told you. As soon as i saw your face and realized what i had done.” This evidence that i've provided in this text shows that The General now feel bad that he has abandoned his son. And that he would do different if he had a second chance.
The initial impression I walked away with after reading the speech “David Foster Wallace on Life and Work” was one of honesty and truth in the argument and an overall sense of persuasion. I believe that self-realization was the original goal of the authors argument. His serious yet humorous tone coupled with brutally honest and logical argument were the major factors in his persuasiveness. His honesty and understanding of the topic is his primary means if providing his credibility to us as an audience. Additionally, the author instills a sense of humility into his argument while still pointing out the issues at hand, which did an exceptional job of softening the bluntness therefore allowing the audience to lower its guard. Moreover, By providing generally accepted typical reactions and thought processes of humans, he is able to portray a seemingly true unbiased analysis and build his argument accordingly. By honestly pointing out this behavioral tendency and making us realize there is truth in his argument he forces us to look inward at ourselves. Overall, I feel like Wallace did a very good job of convincing us to rethink our world views.
He said he once tried to hit his mother over the head with a hammer over a clothes dispute and, that while in the ninth grade, he attempted to stab a friend who had changed the station on the radio; the blade broke in his friend's belt buckle.[7][8][9] After this incident, Carson said that he began reading the Book of Proverbs and applying verses on anger. As a result, Carson states he "never had another problem with temper".[10][11][12] Some of these narratives were challenged during his campaign in 2015. For example, nine friends, classmates and neighbors who grew up with Carson told CNN in 2015 that they did not remember the anger or violence that Carson has described; all expressed surprise about the incidents that Carson said had

The constitution is being trampled on by its own constitutes and the foundation of this nation is crumbling. Ben Carson is an African American world renowned neurosurgeon that was born in Detroit Michigan and was raised by a single mother with limited education. Growing up in poverty Carson has beaten the odds by rising like the phoenix and achieving some of society's most prestigious awards such as the Spingarn Medal from the NAACP, presented in 2006.

“That is very nice Wallace, now, I am going to pass the mic. off to our audience, does anyone want to share the reason, or reasons that they voted for Wallace, or should I say, Mister
Honesty is a trait that all people should posses, no matter what. It shows tremendous character in any and everybody who has it. Dr. Carson uses honesty every chance he receives. For example, when he was in college, he needed to retake an exam. Dr. Carson tells of a Yale psychology professor who told him, at the time
Ben Carson handles much as a child: adversity, racism, and a temper. He tackles these obstacles through his practice of religion. At first, however, he approaches these difficulties through bursts of rage instead of the word of God. His anger originates from him growing up in a time period where colored people receive harsh judgment. In elementary school, Ben no doubt experiences bullying from his fellow classmates. When Ben is awarded an A on an assignment, before he tells the teacher of his accomplishment, he first announces, "I did not cheat." This means that Bennie feels that his classmates assume he will only earn bad grades, and if he does do well, they will assume that it can only occur through cheating. Furthermore, after beginning
