There\u2019s a bunch of different fires. There\u2019s the Getty fire. This brushfire is in Simi Valley, and it is very, very near the Reagan Library. Employees at the Reagan Library &#8212; &#8220;liberry,&#8221; for those of you in Rio Linda &#8212; have been ordered to evacuate.<\/p>\n<p>And I can\u2019t help it, this is a little bit symbolic. Here you have the library of Ronaldus Magnus in the communist state of California. I can\u2019t help but think that some in the media are rooting for the fire, maybe the first time ever that a fire has had fans. I mean supporters.<\/p>\n<p>But I wouldn\u2019t be a bit surprised if a bunch of leftists say, &#8220;Burn, baby, burn! Get rid of Reagan forever. We can put up a new solar plant.&#8221; Did you see where Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, has publicly announced that the Getty Fire&#8230; By the way, do you know how they name fires? Well, it\u2019s not all that complicated, but the names of fires are so odd that I had to look into it. You know, like the Lockerbie Fire, but there\u2019s no Lockerbie, or whatever the names are of the big fires recently in California. They are the location where they think this fire began.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-327012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-103019-rEAGAN-lIBRARY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-103019-rEAGAN-lIBRARY.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-103019-rEAGAN-lIBRARY-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>So if it\u2019s a street corner of, you know, Khrushchev Avenue and Castro Street, they\u2019ll call it &#8220;the Castro Fire,&#8221; and then you say, &#8220;Castro Fire? What? What?&#8221; (chuckling) Well, we\u2019re talking California. (interruption) Well, I don\u2019t&#8230; (sigh) Give them time. They\u2019ll figure out a way to sell naming rights to the fires because they\u2019re gonna become so frequent. Now, let me ask you a question, \u2019cause I want to share something with you that happened many times to me when I moved to California in 1984.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019ve flown over the country or when I\u2019ve driven around it, I have seen massive power lines that have been run up and down forest hillsides, and next to the power poles &#8212; the towers, the structures &#8212; they clear-cut the forest in a very wide swath (like 10, 15 yards) on both sides of the tower on which the electricity wires are strung. I looked at that and said, &#8220;This is ugly,&#8221; you know, before I knew what was going on. &#8220;This is ugly. How in the hell can anybody&#8230;?&#8221; Now I know why.<\/p>\n<p>They clear-cut the forest so in case a downed power line falls, it\u2019ll fall on nothing that could turn into a fire, nothing that could catch fire. Well, this is what California has not permitted to happen. The environmentalist wackos are the reason for the fire, not PG&amp;E, and not anybody else. The environmentalist wackos have prevented the clear cutting of any wood &#8212; deadwood, waste wood. They won\u2019t permit it on the basis that it\u2019s au natural. &#8220;It\u2019s the way it was intended by nature. There could be unknown, unnamed species living in that deadwood!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can\u2019t touch it.&#8221; So in California, you can\u2019t touch it. So Gavin Newsom says that a downed power line started the Getty Fire. A tree branch from a eucalyptus tree fell on a power wire, and that caused the wire to go down. He called it &#8220;an act of God&#8221; in one of the most recent, rare expressions of the existence of God by a California government official. God? You know, God exists in California when you can blame Him! Uh, Her, It, They. (I\u2019m trying to be woke.)<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: This is serious, folks. Here in California, if you want to know how to control a population, don\u2019t clear-cut, do not allow forests to be managed properly, do not allow land to be managed properly. Get government bureaucrats who don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing in charge of everything. Now they\u2019re telling us that the new norm in California is to expect blackouts. Expect interruptions in electricity. Expect it for days at a time, because of what we know is gonna happen every year: Winds. Santa Ana winds and fire.<\/p>\n<p>So guess who\u2019s getting the blame? Guess who\u2019s having to take and suffer consequences? The citizens of California! This stuff could be dealt with much more wisely than it is being. Clear-cut near the power plants. Make sure that a downed branch of a tree doesn\u2019t start a fire, that shuts down electricity for two weeks. The governor actually said this? If they can\u2019t protect people from downed branch from a tree&#8230; But it\u2019s worse than that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-246223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-090617-Tesla.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-090617-Tesla.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/FB-090617-Tesla-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>While they have not been permitting proper forest management and land management, what else have they been doing? They\u2019ve been encouraging as many people as possible to go out and buy an electronic car, an electric car, battery-driven car. Then what do they do? Shut down power! So now these people that have electronic cars can\u2019t charge \u2019em. They can\u2019t evacuate if they have to unless they do it on foot, or maybe you get lucky and somebody hasn\u2019t bought an electric car, and somebody still has an SUV.<\/p>\n<p>You can hitch a ride down the mountainside to save yourself! &#8216;Cause the state of California has shut down power plants randomly and told everybody, &#8220;This is the new norm.&#8221; After making sure as many people as possible drive around in Teslas and Priuses and whatever the heck else, you shut down the power plants. Now hospitals and other emergencies, they\u2019ve got generator backups.<\/p>\n<p>But how do you put a generator backup on your Tesla? How do you do it? They don\u2019t allow any fossil-fuel burning engines in these things that would destroy the environment. So you sit there and you die. You\u2019re unable to escape. You can\u2019t charge the battery in your car. And there\u2019s not a single Republican fingerprint on any of this insanity anywhere in California.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: No sooner do I say it &#8212; even though I might have been half joking &#8212; and it comes true. I said, &#8220;The brush fire threatening the Reagan library in Simi Valley would have the media rooting for the fire.&#8221; Lo and behold (put it up on the Dittocam there, Brian), <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/keithboykin\/status\/1189561160049274888\">we have a tweet. It\u2019s a guy named Keith Boykin<\/a>. The guy works at CNN. He\u2019s a former Obama adviser. &#8220;For those who think God punishes sinners with natural disasters,&#8221; and he has a picture of the Reagan library near the brush fire.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/keithboykin\/status\/1189561160049274888\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-326996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-103019-Boykin-Tweet-Reagan-Library.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-103019-Boykin-Tweet-Reagan-Library.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/APP-103019-Boykin-Tweet-Reagan-Library-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>We have here a former Obama aide and a current CNN analyst rooting for the fire to destroy the Reagan library. Keith Boykin. &#8220;For those who think God punishes sinners with natural disasters&#8230;&#8221; So Reagan\u2019s a sinner, obviously. Why? Oh, he\u2019s a conservative! Absolutely. He sinned against the left-wing state by opposing it. The Ronaldus Magnus &#8220;presidential library is being threatened by the Easy Fire in Simi Valley.&#8221; See, this one\u2019s called the Easy Fire, and I guarantee you there\u2019s an Easy Street or an Easy Strip Club or an Easy something nearby.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s called the Easy Fire. That\u2019s gonna be why. They don\u2019t just randomly choose these names. There\u2019s a geographical tag to these things. &#8220;Mandatory evacuations were ordered Wednesday morning in Southern California as a rapidly moving wildfire ignited and burned in Simi Valley, near the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.&#8221; So Keith Boykin thinks God is pushing Reagan via his library &#8212; he is a sinner &#8212; with natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Now, stop and think. If God actually did that, how could there be a Washington, D.C.? How could there be a Chappaquiddick? How could there be a Boston? How could there be a Hyannis Port? How could there be&#8230; (Snort!) Take your pick of any institutional location that you want. Speaking of sin and California, for crying out loud, how could there even be a California if God punished sinners!<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not the point. The point is, the Reagan library is surrounded by what is being called the Easy Fire. Employees have been ordered to evacuate. It is a little symbolic. Here is something the left despises, Ronald Reagan, and they\u2019re actually rooting for the fire and tweeting out their support of the fire, and I just wanted you to see it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Man, am I on the cutting edge or am I on the cutting edge? Look at this headline. It\u2019s from The Daily Caller: \u201cTesla Warns Californian Customers To Keep A Full Charge Ahead Of Roving Blackouts.\u201d That\u2019s not the story. The story is: \u201cSome electric vehicle owners in California are resorting to \u2013&#8221; dadelut, dadelut, dadelut, dadelut, dadelut \u201c&#8211; using gasoline power as the state\u2019s power utility employs roving blackouts to avoid potential wildfires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Excuse me for smiling here. I know overall this is not a laughing matter, but this is manmade. Unlike climate change, California\u2019s situation is contributed to by incompetent leftist politicians, inexperienced know-it-alls who think they can manage everything that they\u2019ve never managed in their lives because they\u2019re smarter than everybody or they care more than anybody else.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk warned his customers today to be aware of the problems. You think they\u2019re not? You think electric car owners don\u2019t know the jam that they\u2019re in here? Where do you think they think the power comes from when they plug in to charge? The cornstalk in the backyard? No. It comes from the power company. And what\u2019s powering it? Fossil fuels, namely evil, dirty, filthy black coal.<\/p>\n<p>And you know where it\u2019s from? China. You know how much coal we import from China? It\u2019s not our sole source, obviously. We have domestic supplies, but we import a hell of a lot of coal from China. There are power plants in Connecticut that are run by ChiCom coal. I may even be the name of the company, ChiCom Coal, for all I know.<\/p>\n<p>So Elon Musk is warning the owners of his Tesla vehicles to be aware of the problem of roving blackouts and to fully energize their vehicles instead of relying on half power. Energize, for those of you in Rio Linda, means charge \u2019em. \u201cTwo electric vehicle owners in the state say they are not taking any chances and will rely on gas power to run their cars if they lose power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As I say, it\u2019s not a laughing matter, but, hell, you can\u2019t help but be smug because this is a manmade problem, or contributed to problem, in California.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: To the phones. We\u2019re gonna start with Daniel in Simi Valley, California. Great to have you on the program, sir. You\u2019re up first today.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, Rush, how you doing?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-291773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-111218-California-Fire.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-111218-California-Fire.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-111218-California-Fire-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>CALLER: I\u2019d just like to say I\u2019m a Millennial that lives in Simi Valley right now. I just got back from the grocery store. I had to buy dry ice \u2019cause our power got shut off for all our fridges. The power got shut off at 3 o\u2019clock in the morning, and the fire started at six. So even though they shut our power off, we\u2019re still getting the wildfires here.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So what are you gonna do?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, luckily I\u2019m on the east side of town, it\u2019s burning on the west, so we\u2019re just keeping an eye on it and hoping that we don\u2019t have to evacuate and just try and stay safe from the fires. The other point I\u2019d like to make is Gavin Newsom took money from PG&amp;E after they were convicted of a felony for the murders of the people up in Paradise a couple years ago, and while &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it a second. Hold it. PG&amp;E was convicted of murder?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, they were convicted of a felony. They got a felony conviction for the Paradise fire that caused the deaths of 85 people up in Paradise.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Okay. So what was the felony they committed, do you remember?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I don\u2019t know the felony. It just got reported. The other day it broke they were asking questions if he was gonna donate the campaign money, but he took over $200,000 from them.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Before or after that?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: After the conviction. He took the campaign donations after, along with I think 90% of our state &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Right. Now he\u2019s out there jamming \u2019em. See this is the game, folks. He\u2019s out there jamming PG&amp;E for causing the Getty fire. Yeah. You see what happened, a eucalyptus tree had a branch on it that fell, took a power line with it. The power line ignited essentially kindling, deadwood, at the bottom of the pole. Poof, you\u2019ve got a big fire. He\u2019s blaming PG&amp;E. It\u2019s not PG&amp;E\u2019s fault. They\u2019re not allowed to cut that stuff away.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I go back. I know you have all seen this. Well, most of you have. You\u2019ve driven around, and if you\u2019ve been out in the countryside, you\u2019ve no doubt seen where they have run countless numbers of poles, big metallic poles on which to string power lines up a hillside and down the other side to get electricity to a small town nearby or whatever. And underneath all of that construction they\u2019ve clear-cut like 10 to 20 yards on either side of the pole.<\/p>\n<p>The first time I saw it &#8212; you know, having been sensitized to the dangers of clear cutting and the spotted owl and all that &#8212; I said, &#8220;Why? It\u2019s ugly as hell.&#8221; Now I know why. I\u2019ve grown up, and now I understand that this was done to prevent fires in case something like high winds or a bolt of lightning took down a power line. There\u2019s nothing underneath to ignite, so no fire will start. Well, in California, there\u2019s all kinds of stuff underneath electricity wires to ignite.<\/p>\n<p>So he\u2019s now blaming PG&amp;E &#8212; and apparently PG&amp;E was charged with a felony for the Paradise Fire &#8212; and yet he\u2019s accepting donations. He\u2019s apparently out there seeking donations. So what\u2019s the game? Well, there\u2019s a wink and a nod. PG&amp;E gives money to Gavin Newsom, and like everybody else gives money to political candidates, they\u2019re trying to buy something. &#8220;Quid pro quo&#8221; is what it\u2019s called, folks. They\u2019re trying to buy easy treatment from the state, favorable treatment from the state, favorable regulatory arrangements, whatever.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-312548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-061719-Gavin-Newsome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-061719-Gavin-Newsome.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/APP-061719-Gavin-Newsome-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>They understand. They understand. PG&amp;E and other donors understand that the recipient &#8212; the politician you\u2019re giving money to &#8212; may have to wink at you and rip you in public now and then. But it\u2019s a wink and a nod and PG&amp;E knows that the governor has to do it, and it\u2019s evidenced by the fact that they continue to give him money. It\u2019s pay-for-play, and it\u2019s one of the many aspects of politics that people have resented for a long time. It\u2019s made them think they really don\u2019t have any say-so in political affairs. But this California situation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You know, I love it there, folks. I would actually at one point&#8230; I did live there for 3-1\/2 years, and I love it. But the taxes and the culture and now this, the fires that are happening? It just distresses me to see this happening when you realize this isn\u2019t necessary. The extent of these fires isn\u2019t necessary. Look, they\u2019ve always had them because of these incredible winds, and California\u2019s a desert. There is no natural water source. So they have to make arrangements to truck it in.<\/p>\n<p>This is what I\u2019ve always meant by human beings have to adapt. If we as human beings choose to live where natural resources that are needed don\u2019t exist, okay, then we\u2019re acknowledging that we\u2019re gonna have to pay through the nose to bring \u2019em in! You live in a desert where nothing will grow because there\u2019s no water and the weather is such? Well, that\u2019s what California, Southern California is. It\u2019s essentially arid. They have to get water from the northern part of the state and from Colorado. They have to pay through the nose for it.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody living there has to know what they\u2019re doing. It\u2019s no different than people like me who live on the coast in Hurricane Alley. You adapt if you\u2019re responsible with it. But when a natural disaster like a fire happens or a hurricane, you can\u2019t sit there saying (whining), &#8220;Oh, my God! This is so unfair,&#8221; because we chose to live there knowing full well what could happen. The same thing with people in California.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in California it\u2019s compounded because of the incompetence of the people they\u2019ve elected. These fires that happen annually and naturally are being exacerbated. They are being made larger and more dangerous by the fact that a bunch of incompetent people that residents of California have elected have instituted policies that favor fires over citizens and over their property &#8212; and unknown species that may live in the bottom of one of those piles of kindling at the bottom of an electricity power pole.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Staying with the phones, Fontana, California, this is Tony.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hi, Rush!<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Tony, how are you?

Fire, rainstorms, thunder, climate change, nothing is supposed to interrupt power when it\u2019s underground. That\u2019s why you paid additional for it &#8212; and yet here it\u2019s been cut off.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m sure they haven\u2019t finished the whole project, so much of the power to your lines that are underground is still delivered above ground.
