STEVE MALZBERG, NEWSMAX TV: I saw a story the other day that now you’re inclined to run for president. Where are you? Because last time we talked you said it would be up to God, and even if God decided you should run you wouldn’t want to run. So tell me where you are.

DR. BEN CARSON: Well, I’m listening. I’m in the listening process.

MALZBERG: So would you say that’s a step closer than where you were the last time we talked?

CARSON: It is a step closer. I have to consider what’s going on, and I have to consider the enormous crowds that I encounter every place I go, and the level of enthusiasm, and what I’m hearing.
