ily Show host Trevor Noah enlisted the aid of analyst Desi Lydic on Wednesday to pick apart some of the rhetoric from Republican candidates Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Donald Trump, after noting that many analysts said Tuesday’s GOP debate had more substance.

“[It] is true, because bullsh*t is also a substance,” Noah said.

Lydic debunked Carson on two fronts, starting with his assertion that “people need to be educated on the minimum wage,” which he used to argue that joblessness increases when the minimum wage is raised.

“This statement is true: people do need to be educated on the minimum wage — specifically you,” she said. “In the last 37 years, the number of jobless people has decreased four times after raising the minimum wage. I’m rating his statement as ‘false.’ Or as Dr. Ben Carson calls it, ‘autobiographical.'”

She later revealed that the former neurosurgeon omitted one major factor in the US encouraging “entrepreneurial risk-taking and capital investment” within 100 years of gaining its independence from Britain.
