While reporters and pundits are questioning the foreign policy chops of retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah said on Wednesday’s show that we should try to give Carson a chance to prove himself.
“Maybe you’re surprised that the guy who thinks the pyramids are grain silos isn’t that smart about foreign affairs, but let’s not just take his adviser’s word for it. Let’s see for ourselves,” Noah said.
When asked “who he would call” to start an international coalition against the Islamic State terrorist group, Carson was repeatedly unable to say.
“It’s Ghostbusters! C’mon! Everybody knows the right answer to that question. You could go to any African country and ask a little kid and he’d be like, ‘Ghostbusters! And UNICEF… I’m hungry.’ “
The New York Times quoted one of his foreign policy advisers saying that Carson is unable to absorb “one iota of intelligent information” on foreign policy.
“At this rate, I wouldn’t be shocked to find out Carson thought the Gaza Strip was a titty bar in Vegas,” Noah said.

Apparently we can’t use his actual quote in the headline, but it’s okay in the article… So then don’t present it as a quote. Seriously.
Sorry, I was laughing too hard at slipping Palestine into Egypt to catch the titty word.
So if I understand it, Ben Carson is breaking up with his long time “not an adviser” because the senile old man told him the Gaza Strip wasn’t a titty bar in Vegas. I have to go eat some granola and consider the whole, slip the Palestinians into Egypt thing. How does that work anyway?
I dunno, run them up the Nile?
The Gaza Strip Club is obviously near the back entrance of the Giza Pyramide. Next to the sacks of grain.
