TPNN Staff — TPNN’s Tim Constantine caught up with Dr. Ben Carson, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, at the Second Annual National Security Action Summit, organized by the Center for Security Policy, taking place in Washington, D.C., this week. “Is the greater danger in the United States from outside the borders, or do we have great danger from within as well?” Constantine asked Dr. Carson referring to the terrorist threat posed by radical Islamist groups like ISIS.
Dr. Carson’s answer is significant as an indication of his thoughts on both border security and the Islamic terrorism threat, important issues as voters begin to think about the 2016 presidential race.
“I think we have tremendous danger from both places,” Dr. Carson answered. “Recognizing that there are people who want to destroy our system who are infiltrating through our porous borders and through our lax policies. So I wouldn’t characterize which one is worse. I would say they’re both very, very serious,” he warned.
Tim then asks the famous now retired pediatric neurosurgeon and best-selling author of several books, including his most recent, One Nation: What we can all do to save America’s future, whether he’s made up his mind on running for the presidency in 2016.
Dr. Carson has performed well in several early conservative straw polls, including coming in second place to Senator Ted Cruz (25%-20%) in last weekend’s Values Voter Summit presidential straw poll.
