WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh August 9th 2018 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.320 Last December, a record breaking California fire burned four hundred 0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:07.960 and forty square miles. It destroyed over a thousand buildings 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.520 and killed two people. In January, you see Berkeley study 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:15.240 warned at one hundred million dead trees increased the risk 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.920 of even more mass fires. Now they recommended finning forests 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:23.400 and removing dead underbrush, but California is run by environmentalist wackos. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.600 Now California is experiencing the biggest fire in state history. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.159 Some four hundred fifty five square miles have burned and 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.920 the fire is still growing. Over eleven thousand buildings are 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.440 at risk and the fire may not be contained until September. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.040 The drive by media blames global warming and climate change. 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:48.280 They're blaming California residents for moving into previously undeveloped areas. 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.400 They're ridiculing Trump's comments on the fire, but they don't 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:59.040 criticize California's liberal environmental policies, which left one hundred million 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:03.279 dead tree is as kindling as fuel for these massive fires. 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.600 This is political malpractice on a grand scale. California Democrats 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.640 are more concerned with giving sanctuary to illegal aliens and 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.400 building billion dollar high speed trains in nowhere and banning 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:20.440 plastic straws, then protecting their residents from preventable risk. In 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.720 almost any other state, they'd be held accountable for it, 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:31.280 but in California they're applauded. H
