1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Washington District of Columbia is as liberal as any American city.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: In two thousand and sixteen, they voted for Hillary just

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: to give you an idea. I mean, it's a liberal paradise, supposedly,

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: so this news is amusing. Less than a month ago,

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: Washington voters approved a big minimum wage increase for people

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: who get tips as part of their income. The vote

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: guaranteed a minimum wage of fifteen bucks an hour by

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: twenty six by which time a lot of residents will

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: have died. But the DC City Council has decided the

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: voters were wrong. You see, in the poorest areas, the

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: unemployment rates over nine percent. That's way worse than the

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: rest of the country. So the city council liberals, they

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: looked at what happened to Seattle. They raised a minimum wage,

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of restaurants closed, a bunch of jobs were lost.

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: So the Washington City Council decided they didn't want to

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: have any jobs lost. It's bad enough as it is,

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: so less than a month after it was approved, these

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: liberals are gonna kill the minimum wage increase. They'd rather

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: have jobs. They'd rather have people working than talking points.

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: It does don't happen often, sometimes even liberals have to

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: face reality. But I predict they'll screw this up somehow,

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: because they never get it right in the end.
