david schuster pointed out his claim that higher minimum wage always leads to job loss he. let's hear what ben carson said after that. >> it is particular a problem in the black community. own 19.8% of black teenagers have a job. who are looking for one. and that's because of those high wages. if you lower those wages that comes down. >> well, carson got the number and what it represented all wrong. he's basically implying that black teens have an unemployment rate. the actual rate was $26.5%. and the actual rate is not high, it is lower than it was in 1968 if you adjusted for inflation and studies show an increase in the minimum wage would help millions of african americans who earn some of the lowest wages in this country. carson was asked a simple question about whether big banks should be broken up. he gave a lot rambling answer, spring led with stack buy backs and regulation that simply did not answer that question. and that prompted this question. >> just to be clear, you wouldn't favor break up the big banks? >> i would have policies that wouldn't allow that to occur

david schuster has more on that. david? >> ali, all the republican candidates acknowledge that social security is one of the most popular federal programs, however in its current formal program will become insolvent in 20 years. again the divide is over what to do. marco rubio and rand paul would try to cut program costs. rubio by shrinking benefits. paul would raise the age at which benefits are paid out. in other words, instead of collecting benefits at age 65, you would have to keep working until you were 67 or 68. jeb bush has spoken a lot about means testing social security benefits. under his plan, wealthier retirees might see their benefits trimmed. texas senator ted cruz has suggested a combination of means testing, raising the retirement age, and cutting benefits, but he says it should all only be phased in gradually. and then there's donald trump. he would not cut benefits, nor would he raise the retirement age. trump says social security can be fixed by improving america's economic growth. experts are not so sure
