Dr. Ben's prescription? No, it's not more cowbell. It's "a more robust response to false attacks."
"One thing I want to do is have a much more robust response to attacks, particularly when they are false," he said. "We've kind of taken a nonchalant attitude toward that. I think that's the wrong thing to do. So you'll see much more aggressiveness in that region."
He cited questions raised by the media about his violent past or whether he had received a scholarship to West Point as examples. He also took issue with what he called a "narrative" that he lacks foreign policy expertise.
"If you go back and you look at the things that I have been saying about foreign policy over the last year, you'll see that they're the very things that everybody else is talking about now. And right now, you know, I'm talking about the fact that we cannot be distracted by Iraq and Syria only," he said.
Carson also defended his soft-spoken style and said he doesn't need to be a loud talker to prove he has the chops to be president.
