It is Buck.
Buck Sexton here with you.
Or the Buck is back, maybe.
We could go that way.
You can learn more about me at theblaze.com slash BuckSexton.
You can download my daily podcast there.
Please do so.
And also, you can follow me on Twitter and Facebook at Buck Sexton.
You can send me messages there and all the rest of it.
I was going to move into sort of my expectations for 2015, policy-wise, what we can expect from the president, what the political landscape looks like going into 2015.
But I want to finish up on this discussion of police, policing, and the anti-cop movement versus reforming laws and over-criminalization.
Let's take Bill in Connecticut.
Bill, you're on the Rush Limbaugh show.
You are speaking to Buck.
Yeah, I just want to say that approximately 13% of the American public is African-American.
And roughly 70% of the violent crimes in this country are committed by African Americans.
It would seem to me that the vast majority of black people who are good and decent people should do something about that and talk against that rather than the police who are trying to say protect the public.
I can remember about 20 years ago, Jesse Jackson saying that he didn't feel comfortable if he was being followed by a black person.
He would much rather be followed by a white person in a crowded street.
So this is where the problem is.
And it would seem to me that instead of demonstrating against police, that African Americans should demonstrate against the blacks that are doing the crimes.
Well, I think it's important, Bill, also not to conflate the angriest of the protesters and the protest movement and the sort of MSNBC hosts and the Al Sharptons with all of black America, right?
I mean, you mentioned before those who are law-abiding and those who just want what everyone wants, how they should do something about this.
I mean, I don't know what could be done other than to keep doing what they do, which is be good and productive and decent citizens like the rest of us.
And so I don't think that the movement is as representative, I guess, is what I'm trying to say, as the movement wants to believe that it is.
And look, the problems in minority communities in this country are well documented.
The statistics are pretty well known, I think, especially now because of the debate that's broken out around them.
And there should be reforms looked at for how this is the breakdown of the family and all the things that we've seen.
But it's a lot easier to blame the police and to put this on the police.
Thank you for calling in, Bill.
I would also say that Bill de Blasio, for example, he's the head of the NYPD, effectively, because he's the mayor of New York City, and he's always talking about how he worries for his son when he's interacting with cops.
This is the kind of rhetoric that is not helpful, but that's what he's been doing.
Willie in Pennsylvania, you're on the Rush Limbaugh show, sir, and you are speaking to Buck.
Hey, how are you doing?
My name is Willie Ford.
I've been listening at your show, Rush Limbaugh, for quite some time now.
I had a comment.
I'm from North Carolina.
I can't speak on the small towns with police officers and stuff, but I came to New York in 1969.
I was 18.
I'm 64 years old now.
And during the time I lived in New York, I know mostly every precinct in the big city like New York, each captain, lieutenant that works that precinct, they know who the bad apples in that precinct.
And they let some of those officers sometimes give them a slap on the wrist, don't really follow up really what they're doing in the street to a certain point.
So they know who the bad apples are.
So when real bad things happen, they should discipline those officers or take them off the force.
And you're suggesting that they don't do that, that they don't discipline officers who...
They discipline them, but you've got bad apples.
Back in the early 80s, in the late 70s, I used to work at 32th Street before they built the World Trade Center.
I had a couple of coworkers I worked with there that became police officers.
They was black, and they were on the precinct for a little over a year.
And they quit the police officer department because they say you'd be surprised with the prejudice that go on.
You don't know who your partner's going to be once you become an officer.
He says, and they also told me, says certain things that happen in the precinct, and when you're out there in the streets on the car, certain things officers do that they have a code they go by.
You know, they don't want to talk against one another.
And then a couple of those officers that I knew, they stopped being police officers and became probation officers because they didn't want to get hemmed up in the situation with the bad cops they was patrolling with.
Right.
No, there's, Willie, there's no question that there, I haven't actually heard anyone who's part of the sort of public discussion on this issue saying that there's no such thing as bad cops.
There's no such thing as racist cops.
There's no such thing as police departments that have problems that are not aberrant, that aren't sort of the exception to the rule.
They're actually much more standard.
But, you know, the rhetoric that we're hearing from the anti-cop movements paint all officers.
They don't, they change out the exception with the rule.
They say that it's not that some officers act this way.
It's that this is happening a lot and all the time.
And this is, you know, for example, and thank you for calling, Willie.
You know, there's this case out in California of Ezel Ford, and they just released the autopsy report on this, and he was shot a few times.
Now, the case, according to the officers in the scene, the quick version of this is that they saw Mr. Ford.
They went up to him.
They're part of a gang task force.
They went up to him to talk to him, which, by the way, officers are allowed to do that.
And in fact, one of my police officer friends tells a story, which I don't know if this is now just sort of urban legend, but I've heard it from him.
He told me that he was once at a murder scene, and it was nighttime, and there was a crowd gathered.
And he turned and he said, the body had been there for probably, I don't know, half an hour or so before they got there, 15 minutes, something like that.
But people had gathered around.
There's this dead body in the street.
And he turned to the crowd and he said, did anybody see anything?
And one individual put his hands up and said, I didn't kill anybody.
It turned out that was not true.
It turned out that the individual that was particularly upset by the question, did anybody see anything, was the perpetrator in this case.
Police are allowed to talk to you.
They're allowed to come up to you.
They're allowed to say, you know, hey, what's going on?
Now, you can keep walking unless they're trying to actually effect an arrest.
So they went up to talk to him, and a scuffle ensued.
And the officer says that Ford, in this case, the now deceased Ford, reached for his gun, actually got a hand on his gun, and the officer grabbed his secondary weapon and was able to get a shot off.
And his partner also got off two shots.
And they released the autopsy report.
The autopsy is consistent with that.
Now, the chief of police in L.A. has said, look, that's not open and shut.
That doesn't mean that we're still investigating.
We're still looking into all this.
But then you get, for example, the attorney for the family that says that he was shot because the police had, quote, they had nothing better to do.
So they just figured that they would execute this guy because they had nothing better to do.
That's different than saying cops can be rude, cops are being videotaped, and they should know that that is legal.
That's different than what we're hearing from people.
And this is a very dangerous thing to be propagating.
And it's propagated on a regular basis, which is that the same thing was said for Officer Wilson.
And I don't know him.
I don't know if he's a good guy or not.
I don't know what's in his heart.
But the idea that he just decided on this one day, at this one time, to just shoot a guy for no reason who was even trying to surrender at the time, just light him up, and now have to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.
His police career is over, and he has to wonder if somebody's going to come after him.
And of course, there have been a lot of threats.
That makes actually zero sense, right?
Why would someone do this?
But this is what they say.
They say that they just decided.
Now, this is different than heat of the moment.
They pull a gun.
They think he has a weapon and it's a cell phone.
That's tragic, and that shouldn't happen.
And maybe it happens too often in certain cities or in certain places because of the mentality of the officers.
And that's something that we could try to address more.
But as I keep saying, mistakes are going to be made in that kind of a situation.
But with Ezel Ford, this is what you hear now: the officers decided to just engage in a cold-blooded execution because they were bored, because they had nothing better to do.
Who believes this?
A lot of people do, apparently, which is problematic and is upsetting.
So we'll expect more of this, by the way.
This is not going away.
This has become a favorite issue of the left, and it's not going to stop.
And there will be more of these.
Now, every police shooting, by the way, gets national scrutiny.
Every time a cop, even if it's what would have been considered the most sort of straightforward, well, he pulled the gun on the officer and he shot him.
Oh, the cops are lying.
The cops are racist.
The cops are police brutality.
This is going to result in more dangerous streets in a lot of places, and it's going to result in some people losing their lives who shouldn't.
But that's where we're heading.
800-282-2882 is the call-in.
We're going to switch up topics here.
I might talk a little about North Korea and then maybe some immigration and some federal regulation.
Depends.
Might even go to Home Depot.
I don't know if I have enough time, though.
Buck Sexton here in for Rush Limo today on the EIB.
Happy New Year's Eve to everyone.
I guess that's what you say.
Happy New Year's Eve, right?
I think.
Merry New Year's Eve, whatever.
You can call in 800-282-2882, and you can send me tweets at BuckSexton or facebook.com/slash BuckSexton.
Please like the page.
It's how I communicate with folks about what's going on in my mind based on the world around us.
And speaking of the world around us, North Korea has apparently not done, assuming it's North Korea, which I still assume it is, because I don't know who else would care that much about the movie, The Interview, which I watched and could charitably be described as the end result of a couple of stoners who take breaks in between bong binges to write a movie about North Korea.
I don't, it was okay.
It wasn't my favorite.
It was no Team America, that much I can promise you.
And North Korea hasn't given up on this.
In fact, today we just have reports out now based upon some FBI bulletin that there are threats being made, not just now against Sony, but also against news organizations.
First, the continuing threat against Sony is this.
They apparently had access.
The hackers had access to everything, everything inside the company's servers that Sony Studios has.
They see what the HR files are.
They see everyone's emails to everybody.
I think it's a safe bet that the emails that we have already seen are certainly not the only embarrassing things they have access to, and probably not the most embarrassing things they have access to.
But on top of that, so there's the threat, and they're threatening, by the way, to release more of them.
That's part of the report today.
On top of that, you have The hackers saying that they're going to go after, and I tip the daily caller on this one, that they're going to go after CNN, and they've actually made a demand that CNN turn over Wolf Blitzer.
Now, you can try to silence the First Amendment, my friends.
You can try to dictate to us what movies can and cannot be shown, but when you want Wolf Blitzer handed over, you have gone too far.
I can see Wolf being like, why do they want me?
It's like, I don't know, Wolf, why are they picking on you?
It's messed up.
Wolf is going to be like, why me?
I mean, of all the people over here.
Apparently, you know, I don't know.
Kim Jong-un, maybe he's a fan of the wolf.
I don't know what else to say.
But they're saying that they, what was the quote?
24 hours to give us the wolf, is what the hackers have said.
And they also are threatening to do more or to go after CNN, rather, specifically for their role in all of this.
So this does raise some, apart from the possibility of, you know, we don't negotiate with terrorists, I would hope, especially where they're requesting a random TV news personality.
That would be a bad precedent to set.
You know what I mean?
You could all of a sudden, yeah, you could all of a sudden see Iran be like, we want the Kardashians.
It's like, whoa, whoa, hey.
Well, you guys are, you're okay with that.
Mr. Snerdley, she may be a Kardashian, but she's our Kardashian.
We're not handing her over to the Ayatollah unless the deal is really good.
Nukes for Kardashians, maybe.
I don't know.
We'll have to come up with something.
But you can't just take our TV news personalities.
You can't threaten to hack all of our systems if we don't bow to the wishes of some kind of dictatorial impulse to tell us what we can and cannot watch.
But the hacking thing, by the way, this, again, we'll see.
You've got two things happening.
You have the rise of the totalitarian regimes around the world, which I would include Russia, you know, in between Putin's chest waxing sessions.
I mean, he is doing some pretty nasty stuff in Ukraine and elsewhere.
They're now pushing for their own sort of media conglomerates around the world, their own sort of propaganda outlets to spread whatever it is.
Now, people say, oh, well, America does that too.
Well, I mean, these are the same idiots who think that we're morally indistinguishable, that our country and our government is morally indistinguishable from anyone else.
We're all the same, which I think is just on its face so ridiculous that it's hard to even refute because it's like saying up is down and it's just crazy.
But you have the global propaganda outfits now.
You've got RT out of the Kremlin and there's a Chinese cable channel around the world.
And at the same time, you have crackdowns on speech happening inside of various countries, but also now they're trying to do it inside of this country.
And so you have, in addition to what I call the people referred to as political correctness, I call it totalitarian orthodoxy.
You have to view it this way.
You have to speak about it this way.
In addition to that domestic issue, which we have right now, now we've got lunatics who are saying, you know, give us Wolf Blitzer or your internet gets it.
And so far, our best response or our only response is, well, one, strongly worded memo from the State Department, excuse me, sir.
We are very upset about this rift in diplomacy.
I mean, this isn't going to work for a country that acts as a police state that even Orwell couldn't have conjured up in his wildest dreams.
It's not going to work.
And they may hack more companies.
In fact, I think it's very likely that they will, and this could have a Pretty serious impact going forward because once you can get into a system like this and internet, because the web is global and hold the company hostage to your demands in this way, I don't know where this really stops.
And I also don't really know what the response from this administration could be or would be.
So far, it's been nothing.
There was that momentary outage of the internet in North Korea, which I don't know.
I neither confirm it or not.
I'm not saying we did.
I'm not saying we didn't.
Maybe that just happened.
I mean, the lights are off at night.
I'm sure the internet goes down sometimes, too.
And, you know, I'm sure that there are many times when they've got a VHS tape in there and they're watching the latest Miami Vice on TV and they are all of a sudden everything goes out.
So could it have been just random that their internet went down or was it something from the U.S.?
I don't know.
But the point is that even if we did shut down their internet, one, there's going to be like 12 North Koreans who are really angry about it.
And two, it doesn't stop the hackers from doing what they do.
It doesn't stop them from continuing to try to find ways to infiltrate U.S. companies and influence what we can talk about here, which I think particularly annoys us.
You know, the interview made like $15 million, I think, on, and that was as of a couple of days ago.
I'm not sure what the number is now, which I think that's probably what it would have made even without all this nonsense.
I'm not saying I'm a movie critic here, but it's not the best thing, not the best thing I've ever seen.
But here we are now with the threat of more hackings coming down the line and really no response to it.
And this comes with the backdrop of China constantly hacking as a matter of sort of state policy.
They just do this, hacking and stealing sensitive commercial and military information from anyone and everyone.
And of course, who is the greatest target for all that?
We are.
And this is just sort of an unspoken continuous cyber war, and we don't seem to be able to playing defense doesn't get it done here.
So I don't know how we're supposed to look at this now other than going into 2015, I think we can expect more hackings like this.
I think this has set a precedent that's going to be exploited.
And it's one that we are not prepared for at this point.
800-282-2882.
Let's talk about stifling regulations in a minute.
That'll be fun.
That'll be a good time.
Let's do it.
This is Buck Sexton in for Rush Limbaugh.
Give me a call.
I'll be right back.
Buck Sexton here.
I've been saying I'm going to give you my sense of 2015 or what we can at least expect, and I'm about to do that.
But I wanted to take a call first, and I'll take some more right after.
I want to hear what you think we can expect in 2015 as we get ready here to celebrate New Year's Eve.
Because, you know, we're on the Gregorian calendar now, not the Julian calendar.
We're not celebrating this in spring.
That would be ridiculous.
Even though for a long time that was actually the case.
New Year's used to be in springtime.
Now we do it this time of year.
It would actually kind of make sense to me.
But nonetheless, let's take Paul in Florida.
Paul, you were on the Rush Limbaugh show.
You're speaking to Buck.
Yeah, hi, Buck.
I'd like to wish you and Mr. Snurdly and all the staff and all the listeners a presumptive happy new year.
We all deserve it after what we've gone through this past year.
One of the less pleasant aspects of what happened this past year was that a couple of weeks ago, Congress passed and President Obama signed the so-called omnibus, the omnibus spending bill, that forces all of us taxpayers to pay for their legal and a considerable number of illegal activities until next October.
And the Rhino leadership negotiated with the House and Senate on our side, negotiated most aspects of this spending with the Democrats behind closed doors for weeks and months preceding, and then plopped the 700-page bill on the clerk's desk, okay, the day before the vote, and then forced our elected representatives to vote for it basically sight unseen.
And so the Rhinos think that they've stuck us with the bill once again, and also with funding Obama's illegal immigration activities until next October.
However, such is not the case.
We have a chance here, a golden opportunity, a historic opportunity, to hoist them on their own fatard.
Next Tuesday, the House reconvenes, and they're going to have a vote on the Speaker of the House.
Right on Boehner.
Yeah, I think it's set for January 6th.
Yeah, that'll be the first day back.
It's normally the first or second roll call vote.
And even though Boehner was nominated in the House caucus in the middle of November, things have changed since then, particularly the passing of this omnibus bill.
The omnibus bill provides for funding that is obviously going to go to unconstitutional activities.
And Boehner said so himself.
In his leadership conference meeting on December the 2nd, it's on YouTube.
He said, and I quote, speaking of the executive amnesty, Boehner speaking, quote, unquote, okay, this is a serious breach of our Constitution.
It's a serious threat to our system of government, unquote.
And yet he's the guy that negotiated the omnibus spending bill, the Democrats, and he also voted for it.
And he was probably one of the few people who knew what was in it, except for the leadership of the House.
So what we have here is a situation where the entire leadership of the House, and Boehner specifically, knew what was in the bill, knew it was unconstitutional.
Boehner said it was unconstitutional, and yet they passed it so they were guilty of violating their oath of office.
Now, that should be grounds for removing Mr. Boehner not only from his speakership, but from the House.
But let's just stick with the speech with the speakership vote.
Paul, thank you for calling in, and I'll try to address some of what you're saying.
Look, I wish I could tell you that there were some way to excuse or to explain away the passage of the omnibus, the omnibus.
I wish there was some way that I could tell you that this makes a lot of sense to me and that this isn't some kind of an abdication, an abdication before even taking the ⁇ they didn't even show up on the battlefield to barter better terms.
They just sort of said, whoa, we'll just give this thing up right away.
They're going to vote, as we just said, what is it, on January 6th.
There are some conservative lawmakers who are saying they're actually not going to vote for Boehner.
But I'm not sure they're going to get to the 30 Republic.
If they have 30 vote for someone other than Boehner, they'll have to keep voting until somebody gets to the threshold.
29.
Okay, 29.
Thank you.
And, you know, I don't think they're going to get there.
And so I think that you're probably going to have Boehner in the leadership role again.
I guess the best that we could hope for, and I'm not saying this is an unsatisfactory explanation, but I'm not the one that passed the omnibus bill.
I don't know what to tell you.
We had this crushing midterm election, huge majorities coming our way when the new Congress is seated, and they just take this issue off right away.
I mean, I don't know, maybe they're trying to push us to the debt reset faster by letting us go even further and faster into debt, even when we vote for Republicans.
I don't know what to tell you.
But, Paul, it's disconcerting to say the least.
So thank you for calling in.
I have another thing that's, I think, not getting enough attention, and you can expect a lot more of this in 2015.
We've talked about executive orders, and there are other ways even the president's enforcing his will, despite the fact that he won't have Congress to work with.
Congress is obstructing.
That's always the thing.
Well, now Congress is not going to be obstructing.
He's going to have to bust out the veto pen, I think, a lot.
At least I hope he does.
That'll be a fascinating turnabout, by the way.
The president whose main complaint about Congress was their obstructionism will be the obstructionist in chief.
I mean, he's going to be wielding that veto pen like it's going out of style.
One would hope.
But again, I didn't think that they would do what they did on the spending bill.
I didn't think that they would fund Amnesty, for example.
So I don't know.
And they may try to make some changes or adjustments in the new year, but who knows?
But the Federal Register, which Obama imposed 75,000 pages of new regulations in 2014.
21,000 regulations so far under Obama and 2,300 set for 2015.
So his administration's rules, this is according to the Washington Examiner, would have filled 468,500 pages.
468,000 pages in the Federal Register.
This is from agencies that just get to sort of issue rules.
Now, remember, the agencies themselves, the federal government, has now become various bodies that have these little fiefdoms that they issue law.
They act as their own little legislative body in this case.
EPA is a particularly egregious example of this, the Walter Peck organization, going back to our Ghostbusters reference.
But there are others as well.
And so what I expect in 2015 is you're going to see some of these things really bite.
You're going to see some executive actions from the president, whether he calls on that or not, that's what they'll be.
And he's going to use both the executive branch as sorry, the executive office, as well as the branches of government that fall under the executive, the regulatory agencies, to enforce his will, despite the fact that we have this Congress.
That will be a Republican majority finally in both the House and the Senate after the years we've had to suffer through with Democrats having a majority in the Senate.
So you have, like I said, almost 470,000 pages of regulations, of rules from the presidency going into this point in time.
Now, remember, the number is, that number, the volume is just absolutely insane, right?
And that means that when people talk about how Congress, and this is what the left always says, that Congress doesn't do enough, and they've even sort of looked at the tally of how many laws have been passed as if we just need more laws.
You know, sort of like Christopher Walkin.
Oh, no, is it Christopher Walk?
Yes.
In that SNL sketch, you know, I got a fever, and the only prescription is more regulations.
I mean, this is what they keep doing over and over again.
And I guess the idea is that they can, as long as they do so many of them that we can't keep track of it, this is a means of getting around the fact that they don't actually have progressive Democrats in charge of lawmaking right now.
Or, sorry, won't be in the new year.
So just look for the executive branch to do things.
And we've already seen, they've already set in motion some of this, right?
We've just seen the beginning of what they're planning for Cuba.
I talked about the Iranian, the possibility of an Iranian embassy by the end of Obama's time in office.
He's already speaking openly about that.
He's going to get some kind of a non-deal deal with Iran where we just promised sort of continued monitoring.
They can keep their existing nuclear infrastructure.
It's not going to, in any way, really slow down the mullahs, and they're going to keep tweet trolling us, the Ayatrolla.
And this is what we can expect, I think, from a policy perspective.
The other thing that I also think, by the way, is Not to be overlooked is how immigration actually plays out in 2015 and how this executive amnesty is enacted and what it actually means for the economy, for the legal system, and for future immigration policy.
President Obama has set this is kind of a time fuse here.
I mean, this is going to take a bit of time before we see the full impact of it.
But just as with the amnesty that actually happened under Reagan, it wasn't until some years into it you really saw the full impact and how the numbers were much larger than initially planned, and the enforcement didn't actually happen.
The verification didn't happen.
All of that and more is coming our way, and I think a lot of that will be more apparent in 2015.
So maybe a little bit of immigration and Obamacare 2015 in a minute.
But any thoughts you have here about anything at all?
Call in 800-282-2882.
This is Buck Sexton, Infra Rush Limbaugh.
I will be right back.
Buck Sexton here, Infra Rush Limbaugh.
I'm seeing some reaction from those of you listening, some of you listening on Twitter at Buck Sexton there and also Facebook.com/slash Buck Sexton.
I'm looking at the messages there too.
Please send me messages, like the page.
Some people seem to think that I'm saying that because I can't come up with a justification for no, the purpose, what I'm saying is that I can't explain to you why Boehner would do what he did, but I also am telling you it's very unlikely he's not going to be the leader.
I don't think he should be the leader, but that's where it is.
I'm just looking at the facts as I see them.
I think that some new leadership would be great.
I just don't see that happening.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't see Boehner losing when they hold this vote on June 6th.
It would be great if he did.
It'd be nice to see some fresh blood in there.
Nice to see somebody else who actually wants to stand up and fight a bit on these issues.
But look, they already abdicated on the January.
Did I what did I say?
No, sorry.
I meant January 6th.
So, yeah, I meant that they abdicated on the spending bill, and obviously they funded Amnesty, which seems crazy to me.
David in Florida, you are on the Rush Limbaugh show.
You're speaking to Buck Sexton.
Yeah, I appreciate your sitting in.
You're doing a good job.
Thank you.
Yeah, I just had a quick comment and a question.
I'm listening to the satire of the little commercials on the during a break there that are really funny on one hand.
But on the other hand, a lot of the stuff they're talking about is taking on a really serious issue.
And what Obama's done depending on as far as overusing his executive orders and usurping his power, going around Congress and everything, this is our forefathers would have.
I want to ask you, when I'm telling my comment, what you think our forefathers would have done, or even generations past, what the leaders of our country would have done.
And one comment I wanted to make was several years ago in Honduras, the president made a really bold statement for the podium about him being the president forever.
Well, that didn't last long.
The military took him.
They put a bag over his head, stuck him in a helicopter, and took him to Costa Rica.
And that was it with him.
So, you know, when do we actually, all these people that have taken oaths, all these higher-up politicians and military leaders are all taking oaths to protect us against Obama.
What he's doing right now, he's a domestic terrorist.
What he's doing is completely illegal.
And my question to you is, David, I think, I mean, if you're, I thought you wanted to talk about the question of impeachment.
We got a little, we got kind of ran off the rails there a little bit.
But the president's not impeaching doesn't actually have any mechanism if you don't have the requisite two-thirds in the Senate for removal from office, which you don't have.
The Democrats aren't going to go along with it.
So if you're asking me why haven't they taken the constitutionally prescribed route to remove the president from office because of his constitutional violations, it's just simple power politics.
They don't have the votes, and they aren't going to go outside the system to deal with somebody who's outside the system.
And that's just the way it is.
So you're talking about the military stepping in.
By the way, in that case of Honduras, I believe our State Department actually sided with the guy who was trying to be a dictator for life in Honduras.
In fact, they did.
Hillary Clinton was like, oh, no, we like that guy, the dictator guy.
If only Bill could have had those powers, we'd be in such a better place in this country.
So I see, we're going into 2015.
I'm running out of time to tell you all my predictions.
Maybe that's a good thing so that I can be held less accountable for whatever predictions I make that don't come true.
That's like one of the best things, one of the best things you learn in like CIA analysis, for example, is just give a lot of possibilities.
Don't tie yourself down to any one line of analysis because then you're always kind of right.
But a few things.
One is Obamacare is set to get more expensive.
And as we know now, because of Gruber, you know, they call it like the stupidity of the American voter or whatever.
But, you know, it just wasn't politically feasible to pass if we actually told people about it, you know?
So I just thought thinking about what I got paid like $7 million to like Hoodwink America.
You know, that guy.
There's another thing out now that shows him talking about how there are no cost controls in Obamacare.
And just get ready for that, by the way, because what's interesting is that we don't have a single-payer system.
We don't actually have socialized medicine.
What we have is the government expanding care, but working within a cost structure that's already in place, right?
Doctors expect to get paid a certain amount.
Hospitals expect to get paid a certain amount.
The only way that you can do that is by denying care and rationing care.
And what we have now is Gruber.
I think I got a hat to, yeah, Daily Caller again on this one.
Good stuff, Daily Caller.
You got Gruber saying that there are no cost controls.
Yeah, there's no cost controls in it.
And so I just think, you know, it's the stupidity of the American people.
They don't know this.
It's going to be very expensive.
And it's true.
It is going to get very expensive.
And your premiums are going up, and your payment for not getting insurance under Obamacare is going to go up.
They're, of course, touting the fact that they say they have 18, this is on Politico.
They have 18 million.
What is it?
18 million till.
Oh, no, sorry.
Obamacare enrollment has topped 9 million enrollees as of the most recent data available to HHS.
So, you know, they're going to go forward with this.
I mean, you can expect this thing to get more expensive, more difficult, and really just get much worse in 2015.
Just get ready for that.
So I want to share some thoughts on immigration, and then I'm just going to have to wish you all a very wonderful and happy new year after the break.
