uh, we have problems. when there are thousands of birds laying at the base of a window, what we do? isn t amazing? the environmentalist, we like windmills. what about the thousands of birds they are killing? try going to the bottom of the windmill someday, it is not a pretty picture. doesn t blow, you got problems. if your house is staring at it went windmill, not good. when you hear that knows goingt round and round and you are living with it and then you gond crazy after a couple of years, not good. and the environmentalists, they all think it s wonderful. we ve ended the war on clean coal. we ve also repealed the individual mandate. it is gone. last month, the fda approved more affordable generic drugs than at any time ever in the history of our country. [cheers and applause] and thanks to our effort, many drug companies are reversing
and when that people love because they said it would be impossible to do, our tax bill save small businesses and family farms, ranches, and all of the other things associated with if you die you pay it big tax. we have gotten rid of the estate tax also known as the death tax! [cheers and applause] very important for this area. there is an example. clean power, such a beautiful name. they want to have windmills all over the place. when the wind doesn t blow, what we do? we have problems. when there are thousands of
heat rises. firefighters are sitting back now watching it burn down the hills with the idea they will be able to attack it from the air now that the sun has come up and also on the ground. the other good news back down the hills, bill, there is no wind. if the conditions stay the way they are right now firefighters are optimistic it will burn the hills and hit trees and orchards, that kind of thing that are green and as long as the wind doesn t blow, they will be able to stop the fire there. that s a natural fire break if you will. that s the plan right now at this hour. if those winds do come back, those embers from the fires could blow into why we re standing where the neighborhoods start. a cautious optimism if the winds stay away. this fire is massive, as i mentioned, burning into its seventh day. it started last monday night. seven days as of tonight. and now again burning more than 230,000 acres, one of the largest fires in state history.
the difference in whether or not a home survived. this house is in pretty good shape. but just on the other side of the street, most of them are a total loss. what are you going to do? move. somewhere where the wind doesn t blow as hard? i just can t look at this every day. it s too much. so i ll stay around, just not here. randal matthews of asheville, alabama, is also still here, and that s no small achievement. living in this trailer with his wife and 5-year-old son, randal took his family to what he thought was a more secure place to ride out the approaching tornado. a neighbor s solidly built home. we all got in the house and we wasn t in there two seconds i seen glass flying and just a big explosion. when i woke up, we was all on the ground. this is what s left of that
of wind, but it s just not enough. if the wind doesn t blow 24/7, the sun doesn t shine 24/7. there are problems in terms of predictability of the source. thanks. last thoughts about this. are we going to be like the french? rely heavily on nuclear? everybody likes to knock the french, but the fact is they are big believers in it. i m not sure. but i can say there s elements of this of calling the republicans bluff. if you look at energy, the republicans say, the first thing is you won t put nuclear on the table. health care, the first thing is he won t put tort reform on the table. he just put nuclear on the table. see what their next move is. what is the next move? will republicans buy this? chlg the republicans has given the republicans one of the signature issues they want ant hasn t gotten anything in return for it. that s the way things work nowadays. join us again tomorrow night.
