WATCH: Dr. Ben Is In!

Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon, announced today that he will run for president of the United States.

In his highly quotable speech, Dr. Carson said (emphasis added), “You know, America remains a place of dreams. And a lot of people are down on our nation. And they want to point out all the bad things that have happened here. But have you ever noticed that there’s a lot of people trying to get in here and not a lot of people trying to escape?”

Dr. Carson said he has no desire to get rid of safety nets for people who need them, but “I have a strong desire to get rid of programs that create dependency in able-bodied people.”

Watch the brief clip for more. We’ll post the video of the full speech hopefully by tomorrow.
