CAVUTO: Do you think he has to come out and answer with this North Carolina transgender bathroom issue. North Carolina suing the government, the government - the Justice Department, more to the point - suing North Carolina over the interpretation of who should go into a men's room and who should go into a woman's room? How should the Republicans respond? How should he as the party standard bearer respond?

CARSON: Well, what he has said, rightly so, is that it is a civil issue that should be handled at the state level. That's the very same thing that the framers of our constitution felt. And what has happened here, they tried to handle it at the state level, but the Feds have stepped in, they've overstepped their boundaries and have appropriately been sued by the state. You know, we need to go back to recognizing data and science. You know, we know what men are and we know what women are. We have known that for thousands of years. You know, if there are people who are confused about it, we can make accommodations for them, but it doesn't have to involve everybody.

CAVUTO: But to compare this, as the Justice Department just did, Lorreta Lynch saying it's like the Jim Crow laws thrown back in our face, you say what?

CARSON: Yeah, that's what they always say, everything is like Jim Crowe, everything is like racism and segregation and slavery. What a bunch of crap. You know, they want to do that to gain the sympathy. But thinking people know better.

Ben Carson Said That Trump Wanted To Lower Taxes For Everybody, But Knew "There Are A Bunch Of People In Congress With A Socialist Redistributionist Bent" And That Trump Might Have To Sacrifice "The Very Top People." CARSON: "But what we wanted something that is simple and fair. You know, Mr. Trump got in a little trouble this weekend when he said he would consider raising taxes on the very rich. What he was actually saying is that he wants to lower taxes for everybody, but he knows there are a bunch of people in Congress with a socialist redistributionist bent, and if it comes to not having tax reform or sacrificing the very top people, he would be willing to at least - that's what he was saying." [Your World With Neil Cavuto, Fox News, 5/9/16]

Ben Carson On Tax Reform: "I Personally Think That We Should Be Just Equally Fair To Everybody Proportionally Across The Board." CAVUTO: "Who are the top people, doctor? What was he talking about?" CARSON: "People like hedge fund manager $100 or $200 million each year. I personally think that we should be just equally fair to everybody proportionally across the board." [Your World With Neil Cavuto, Fox News, 5/9/16]

Ben Carson Promised That The Tax Rate Under Trump's Tax Plan "Would Be Lower Than It Is Now Under Any Circumstance." CAVUTO: "But in other words, doctor, the fact that he in his plan talks about a top rate of 25%, was he signaling it would go higher than that or higher than the 39/6% it is now? People were confused."  CARSON: "It would be lower than it is now under any circumstance. Clearly, we want to be fair to everybody." [Your World With Neil Cavuto, Fox News, 5/9/16]

Ben Carson: People "Have To Compare Whatever They Think He Said Against What Hillary Said And Recognize With The Minimum Wage Thing, He's Sympathizing With People." CARSON: "First of all, they have to compare whatever they think he said against what Hillary said and recognize with the minimum wage thing, he's sympathizing with people, recognizing that the minimum wage has not kept up with the cost of living." [Your World With Neil Cavuto, Fox News, 5/9/16]

Ben Carson Said That Raising The Minimum Wage "Will Hurt Jobs' And That Trump "Understands That And He Also Understands That The Minimum Wage Is An Entry Level Wage, It's Not A Sustaining Wage." CAVUTO: "But In your first debate, he said he didn't want that wage to go up because it would hurt jobs."  CARSON: "And It will hurt jobs, and he understands that and he also understands that the minimum wage is an entry level wage, it's not a sustaining wage. And if you raise it too high, you are going to devastate people, particularly young people, who are trying to get into the job market. He knows that." [Your World With Neil Cavuto, Fox News, 5/9/16]

Ben Carson: "We Need To Go Back To Recognizing Data And Science. ... We Know What Men Are And We Know What Women Are. We Have Known That For Thousands Of Years. ... If There Are People Who Are Confused About It, We Can Make Accommodations For Them, But It Doesn't Have To Involve Everybody."
