Andre Carson, the sound bites we played about him saying that Tea Partiers want to hang or lynch blacks, that comment was made August 22nd. It took nine days for it to surface. Pelosi\u2019s comments, she was at a Democrat brunch in San Francisco back on August 21st, ten days ago, and we got two sound bites from Pelosi. Here\u2019s the first.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: What more do they want? They have a number of homes, the bigger the yacht, da da da da da, the taller the mast, the whole thing. They have museum quality art. They want immortality. (laughter) They want so much money that their names are all, for prestige they could never get any other way, they could buy with endless money. Because what else could you possibly want?<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: What more do they want? They got a number of homes, the bigger the yachts, the taller the mast, the whole thing &#8212; she\u2019s talking, I don\u2019t know whether she knows it or not,<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_53818\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/pelosi-1.jpg\"\/><BR\/> about Democrats. Now, her husband\u2019s very wealthy, so Pelosi by virtue of marriage is very wealthy. But this largest mast business, I\u2019m probably gonna get myself into trouble here. I don\u2019t know if this is still true, but there\u2019s an author out there by the name of Michael Lewis, and he wrote a book called The New New Thing. It was the story of Jim Clark who founded Netscape, which no longer exists. I read the book and I\u2019ve met Jim Clark. He lives here. I was at a dinner once with Jim Clark where he almost left. He said, &#8220;I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m in the same room with Rush Limbaugh.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>This book was about Jim Clark building the biggest sailboat in the world, with all of his wealth from Netscape, and about the trials and tribulations of building this sailboat and the limitations of where it could go because the mast is so high, and some bridges, of course, are not high enough for the mast. The thing apparently is huge, took years, they had problems with all the electronics on board this sailboat. Pelosi is talking about, at least at the time, a Democrat. A Democrat had the largest sailboat in the country. And I don\u2019t know if he still has the largest sailboat or somebody\u2019s built one bigger or not. Then this business of they want immortality, so much money that their names for prestige they could never get any other way, they\u2019re buying &#8212; what is she talking about? Putting your name on the wing of a hospital, for example, donating to a hospital and getting your name on a wing, that\u2019s the kind of stuff she\u2019s talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I don\u2019t know what the breakout is here, but I will guarantee you it\u2019s not all Republican names on the names of hospitals in New York City. I just guarantee you. And if you go to the state of West Virginia, you can\u2019t find anything in that state not named after Robert Byrd, from rest areas on the interstate, to the interstate, to the sign on the interstate, to the museum, I mean there\u2019s so many things in that state named after Robert Byrd, it\u2019s a joke. We have three sound bites, actually, and here\u2019s the second of the three.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: Clean air, clean water, food safety, reform on Wall Street, protections for consumers, you name it, forget about it. They\u2019re defunding every initiative in that regard. You wonder, do their children breathe air, do they drink water, why do they not care? But they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We don\u2019t care about clean water, clean air, clean food. We don\u2019t care about any of that. We want our children to die. Nancy Pelosi, to a Democrat brunch in San Francisco on August 21st. Here\u2019s the last one.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: In the first 100 hours we raised the minimum wage.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Get this, now.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: It was the first time the minimum wage was raised in 11 years.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, listen to this.<\/p>\n<p>PELOSI: It was kept down for the purpose that people would not be able to live on that. They\u2019d have to borrow, get home equity loans against their mortgage. They\u2019d have to live on credit cards, and what are they doing when they do that? They\u2019re paying fees to the banks. They\u2019re paying fees to the banks. So it was a contrived dependence on private credit for millions, tens of millions of working people in our country. Keep people dependent on penny fees to banks for the use of their own money.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay, so the Republicans kept the minimum wage low so that poor people have to borrow more money from the bank so that Republicans could get rich. People on minimum wage would borrow against their home equity. (laughing) People earning minimum wage would borrow against their home equity and enrich the bankers, the Republican bankers. Last time I looked all these bankers are voting for Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is August 21st, basically ten days ago.
