HUGH HEWITT, HOST: I am joined by Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson, welcome back to the Hugh Hewitt Show.

DR. BEN CARSON: Thank you. Always good to be with you.

You’ve won the Presidential Medal of Freedom. You did the National Prayer Breakfast. You wrote One Nation. If President Obama called you up right now and said Dr. Carson, we need a surgeon general who will command respect and will generate calm, would you please serve, would you accept that?
