Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson joined Glenn Beck on his radio show Wednesday to discuss a wide array of issues, including the Islamic State threat, faith and domestic spying.

Toward the end of the interview, Beck conducted a “rapid-fire” Q&A session seeking simple “yes or no” answers in an attempt to get a clear understanding of where Carson stands on some of the most important issues of the 2016 election. Some of the issues are too complicated for one-word answers, so the candidate also explained the context behind his answers.

Screen-Shot-2015-10-21-at-10.04.54-AM-62

TheBlaze

Here’s a rundown of Carson’s responses on the issues.

Warrantless NSA domestic spying

“Terrible. No, can’t do it.”

Border fence

“The right kind of fence, yes….What has worked in the past, like in Yuma County, Arizona — a double fence with asphalt so you can get rapidly from point to point.”

Fine companies that hire illegals

“Absolutely.”

Deport illegals

“If they qualify as illegals. I would give people the ability to register in a certain period of time and if they have pristine records and they are willing to work as guest workers under the circumstances that we survive, they could stay. But they don’t become citizens and they don’t vote.”

Do you continue the “war on drugs?”

“Absolutely, I intensify it.”

Climate change, is it man-made and can we do anything about it?

Well, climate always changes. It’s either going up or down. We do have a responsibility to take care of our environment. That’s the real issue.”

National standards for education

“Absolutely not. The closer education is to home, the better the education is.”

Should the U.S. remain part of the United Nations

“I do not like the United Nations and unless they change I would not participate, I would defund them.”

No because children's life is innocent and malleable. Criminals, especially on death row. are criminals. That argument doesn't hold up.

What if you support pro choice, capital punishment and don't like those whom abuse the safety net system we have place in this country?

I feel folks like myself and others on this board are becoming the new 'insane'. We tend not to lean either way, not because of being lukewarm or not passionate on issues, but that the answer or solutions to many things never really seem to be found at either ends of extremes. But instead, the middle ground where most truths live.

Then I'm not talking about you obviously

You know what would really help the abortion issue? Proper sex education, access to contraceptions and the morning after pill.

This too which I've also mentioned dozens of times. However that only works when people aren't stupid as hell. The lower class will be much more likely to voluntarily sterilize themselves for money than actually take a birth control pill every day

How would murdering a viable baby ever be the better option than doing an emergency c section and giving the poor kid a fighting chance at life?

Easier. Less trouble. Serves the agenda.

Low risk high profit procedure.

Well the baby's coming out anyway whether it's aborted or not. I'm saying the only time that super late abortion is acceptable is if not doing it poses a serious threat to the mother which would be mitigated by aborting the baby.

A third trimester baby can live so no abortion. If there's a danger to the mother you do an emergency c section not murder the kid.

Most people in my experience are overwhelmingly against third trimester abortion, and they make up a tiny, tiny fraction of abortions. In those cases, I would only consider if it there was a danger to the mother.

Trouble is, people protesting abortion clinics don't tend to make that distinction. How many "abortion is murder" signs do you see, compared to "third trimester abortion without clear and present danger to the mother is murder" signs, for example?

That's what I keep hearing yet anytime a proposition comes up to even make that harder, especially on a federal level, they are shouted down by the control my own body crowd.

The protesters, are hardcore and therein might lie your compromise. So I give you credit for that.

Still that isn't a compromise for those who believe life begins at conception.

I guess it depends on whether or not the issue at hand matters to you or not. What say you believe abortion in the third trimester is murder, pure and simple.

Try to assign that to any other issue you feel strongly about, let's say forcible rape of 10 year old boys. Most of you are against that right? How would you think compromise would be better than your side being completely victorious?

The rino thing pisses me off because it is something you call someone who does the right thing and works across the aisle. That's what makes Obama such a horrible president. He doesn't work across the aisle at all.

Personally I would rather have a democrat not working across the aisle than a republican not working across the aisle, but I would much, much rather have the president engaging in the process of democracy.

This is the problem in most democracies, is that they're democracies only ever 4-5 years, the rest of the time it's the party line. You can't pick and choose policies from different parties, like "I like the conservative approach to fiscal policy, but I can't get on board with their stance on homosexuality" it's just all or nothing.

It's someone who betrays who they are, who is "republican in name only"....

and gives up his principles and wimps out to the left because

he/she is a coward to stand up for what is the right thing to do.
