Hi, Clarence.  I\u2019m glad you waited.  You\u2019re next on the program.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Rush, how come you\u2019re not talking about the significant victory of Obama in the election.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  What victory?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  The victory of the minimum wage, raising the minimum wage, which happened in five states, the only five states that had it and four of them were strongly Republican. States like South Dakota, Nebraska, you can\u2019t get more Republican than that, right?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I\u2019m trying to understand what you\u2019re saying.  You\u2019re saying in all these Republican states, Obama had victories because &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah, with the minimum wage.  He\u2019s been on the bully pulpit for two years about the minimum wage, and it passed, in opposition to all the Republicans and you and all the other right-wingers on the radio are opposed to it, but it passed in four Republican states.  And if it had been in 50 states, it would have passed in 50 states.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_98614\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/DemocratPlaybook101RaiseMinimumWage.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Right.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  So, that\u2019s a victory for the bully pulpit of Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Man, you\u2019re scraping the bottom of the barrel here to &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, it may be, but it\u2019s significant.  How do you explain it?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t explain it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Who wouldn\u2019t want to earn more money?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I know.  But the Republicans are against it.  You were against it, aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes.  I\u2019m against minimum wage laws, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  That\u2019s right, but it passed no four states.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You don\u2019t win everything out there, Clarence.  If you want to hang your hat on five states, got the minimum wage going up, have at it, man, have a party.  Go out there and buy an extra Big Mac with it.  Whatever it gets you.  My point of minimum wage actually causes people to lose jobs.  The minimum wage is not enough, and it was never intended to be a wage that supports a family.  It\u2019s an entry-level thing.  It\u2019s purely a political football.  I\u2019m trying not to chuckle here, Clarence, \u2019cause I know how important winning is, and if the minimum wage in five states where Republicans opposed it makes your day, then I don\u2019t want to destroy it.  So have at it, Clarence, I\u2019m happy you\u2019re happy.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I hope Clarence in Philadelphia is still listening, reveling in his big victory out there.  Clarence, you know what\u2019s gonna happen in all these states where the minimum wage was increased?  Employers are gonna hire more and more illegal aliens off the books at lower wages.  The minimum wage actually facilitates the hiring of illegals if we\u2019re gonna let \u2019em in the country, Clarence.  Big win, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Clarence in Philadelphia. Hi, Clarence. I\u2019m glad you waited. You\u2019re next on the program. Hello.
