| 0:00.0 | Washington District of Columbia is as liberal as any American city. |
| 0:03.9 | In 2016, they voted for Hillary 91 to 4 just to give you an idea. |
| 0:07.7 | I mean, it's a liberal paradise, supposedly. |
| 0:11.2 | So this news is amusing. |
| 0:12.6 | Less than a month ago, Washington voters approved a big minimum wage increase for people who |
| 0:18.7 | get tips as part of their income. |
| 0:21.1 | The vote guaranteed a minimum wage of 15 bucks an hour by 2026 by which time a lot of |
| 0:25.6 | residents will have died. |
| 0:27.6 | But the D.C. city council has decided the voters were wrong. |
| 0:31.1 | You see, in the poorest area, as the unemployment rates over 9%, that's way worse than the rest |
| 0:35.0 | of the country. |
| 0:36.0 | So the city council liberals, they looked at what happened to Seattle. |
| 0:39.1 | They raised a minimum wage, a bunch of restaurants, clothes, a bunch of jobs were lost. |
| 0:43.4 | So the Washington city council decided they didn't want to have any jobs lost. |
| 0:48.4 | It's bad enough as it is. |
| 0:50.0 | So less than a month after it was approved, these liberals are going to kill the minimum |
| 0:54.4 | wage increase. |
| 0:55.8 | They'd rather have jobs. |
| 0:56.8 | It'd rather have people working than talking points. |
| 0:59.7 | It doesn't happen often, sometimes even liberals have to face reality. |
| 1:03.9 | But I predict they'll screw this up somehow because they never get it right in the end. |
