Time Text
It is Buck, Buck Sexton here with you, uh or the Buck is back, maybe.
We could go that way.
Uh you can learn more about me at the Blaze.com slash Buck Sexton.
You can download my daily podcast there.
Please do so.
Um 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 I was gonna move into sort of my expectations for twenty fifteen policy wise, what we can expect from the president, uh what the political landscape looks like going into twenty fifteen.
But I want to finish up on this discussion of police, policing and the anti cop movement versus reforming laws and uh overcriminalization.
Let's take Bill in Connecticut.
Uh Bill, you're on the Rush Limbaugh show.
You are speaking to Buck.
Yeah, uh, I just wanted to say that uh approximately thirteen percent of the uh American public is is African American, and roughly seventy percent of the violent crimes in this country are committed by African Americans.
It would seem to me that the uh 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 twenty 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 thought of by a white person in a 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 the pe the the blacks that are doing the crimes.
Well, I I think it's important, Bill, also not to um conflate the the angriest of the protesters and the protest movement and the sort of MSNBC hosts and the Al Sharptons with uh with with all of black America, right?
I mean you're meant you mentioned before those who um are l law abiding and and those who just want what whatever what everyone wants, um how they should do something about this.
I mean, I don't know what I don't know what what could be done other than uh you know to keep doing what they do, which is be good and productive and and uh you know and decent citizens like the rest of us and and so I 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 it and believe that it is.
And look, the the problems uh in minority communities in this country are well documented.
The statistics are uh pretty well known, I think, especially now because of the debate that's broken out around them.
And there there should be uh reforms looked at for, you know, how how this is the you know the breakdown of the family and all the things that we've seen.
But it's a lot easier to do uh to blame the police and to put this on the police.
Uh thank you for calling in, Bill.
Uh I would also say that the uh that Bill de Blasio, for example, um you know, he he's the head of the NYPD, effectively, because he's the mayor of York City, and he's always talking about how he he worries for his son when he's interacting with cops.
This is the kind of rhetoric that is is not is not helpful, but that's what he's been doing.
Uh Willie in Pennsylvania, you're on the Rush Limbaugh show, sir, and you are speaking to Buck.
Hi, how you doing?
My name is Willie Ford.
Uh I've been doing show Rush Limbaugh for quite some time now.
Uh I I had a comment.
Uh I'm from North Carolina.
I can't speak on speak on the small towns, you know, with police officers and stuff, but I I came to New York in nineteen sixty-nine.
I was eighteen, and I'm sixty-four 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 their 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 officer uh take them off the force.
And you're you're suggesting that that they don't do that, that they don't discipline officers who they discipline them, but you got bad apples.
Uh back in the uh early uh eighties and late 70s, I used to work at 33th Street before they built the World Trade Center.
I I had a couple of co-workers I worked with there that uh became police officers.
Uh there was black.
And uh they was in the on 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 gonna be once you become an officer.
He says, and they also told me so certain things that happen in the precinct, and when you out there on in 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 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, uh there's uh Willie, there's no question that there are I I've I haven't actually heard anyone who's um 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 uh problems that are not aberrant that aren't sort of the uh the exception to the rule, they're actually much more standard.
But uh you know, the the rhetoric that we're hearing from the anti-cop movements um 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 uh, you know, th for example, um, and thank you for calling in Willie.
You know, there's this case out in California of um Ezel Ford, and they just released the autopsy report on this, and he was shot a few times.
Now the case, uh according to the officers in the scene, the the quick the quick version of this is that they saw uh Mr. Ford, um they 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 uh one of my police officer friends tells a story, which I don't know if this is now just sort of you know urban legend, but uh I've I've heard it from him, told me that he was once at a murder scene and uh you know it was nighttime and there was a crowd gathered, and he turned and he he said, you know, then the the body had been there for some, you know, 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, uh, 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 gonna now you can keep walking unless they're trying to actually effect an arrest.
But uh so they went up to talk to him, and a scuffle ensued, and the officer says that that that Ford, uh the in this case, the now deceased Ford, reached for his gun, actually got a hand on his gun, and the officer grabbed his uh 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 LA has has said, look, that's not that's not open and shut.
That doesn't mean that there's no we're still investigating, we're still looking into all this.
But then you get uh, for example, you know, the uh the attorney for the family that says that uh 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, you know, are being videotaped, and they should know that that is legal.
Uh that's different than what we're hearing from people.
And this is a very dangerous thing to be uh propagating, and it's propagated on a regular basis, which is that's the same thing was said for Officer Wilson, you know, 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's over, and he has to wonder if somebody's gonna 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, you know, they they pull a gun, they think the guy has the guy, 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 uh mentality of the officers, and that's something that we could uh you know try to address more, but as I keep saying, mistakes mistakes are going to be made in this kind of a in that kind of a situation.
And um But with Ezel Ford, this is what you hear now is that the officers decided to just uh engage in a cold blooded execution because they were bored because they had nothing better to do.
Who believes this?
Um A lot of people do, apparently, which is problematic and is uh is upsetting.
So we'll expect more of this, by the way.
This is not going away.
This has become uh 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 a gun on the officer and he shot him.
Oh, the cops are lying.
The cops are racist.
The cops are police brutality.
Um this is uh 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 uh who shouldn't.
But that's where we're heading.
800-282-2882 is the call-in.
Uh we're gonna switch up topics here.
I might talk a little bit 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 Limbaugh 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.
Uh you can call in 800-282-2882, and uh you can send me tweets at Buck Sexton or Facebook.com slash Bucks Exton.
Please like the page.
It's how I communicate with uh folks about what's going on in my mind uh based on the world around us, and speaking of the world around us, uh North Korea is 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 I don't it was okay.
Wasn't wasn't my favorite.
Uh wasn't uh 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 uh FBI bulletin that there are threats being made, not just now against Sony, but also against news organizations.
First, the the continuing threat against Sony is this.
They apparently had access.
The hackers uh had access to everything.
Everything inside the company's servers that Sony Studios has.
Uh 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, um so there's the threat, and they're they're threatening, by the way, to release more of them.
That's that's part of the uh the report today.
On top of that, you have uh the hackers saying that they're gonna go after a hat tip to Daily Caller on this one, that they're gonna 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 could just 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 met up.
Yeah, Wolf is gonna be like, why me?
I mean, you know, of all the of all the people over here.
Apparently, you know, I don't know.
Kim Jong-un, maybe, maybe he's he's a fan of the wolf.
I don't know, I don't know what else to say.
Um, but they're saying that they uh what was the what was the quote?
Twenty-four hours to give us the wolf, is what is what the hackers have said.
And they also are are threatening to uh do more uh 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.
Uh I would hope, especially where they're requesting a random TV news personality.
That would be a bad, 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're you guys are okay.
Yeah, they're now you're okay with that.
Mr. S Mr. Snerdley, she may be a Kardashian, but she's our Kardashian.
We're not handing her over To the uh 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 uh you know to hack all of our systems if we don't bow to the wishes of some kind of uh dictatorial impulse to tell us what we can and cannot watch.
But the hacking thing, by the way, this is this this again, we'll see.
You've got two things happening.
You have the rise of uh 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 uh pretty nasty stuff as in Ukraine and uh and elsewhere.
Uh 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 you know anyone else.
You know, we're all the same.
Uh 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 uh it's just crazy.
But you have the global propaganda outfits now.
You know, you've got RT out of the Kremlin, and there's a Chinese uh cable channel around the world.
And at the same time, you have crackdowns on speech happening inside of a 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 refer to it as political correctness, I call it totalitarian orthodoxy.
You know, 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 uh, you know, give us Wolf Blitzer or your internet gets it.
And so far, our best response or our only response uh is well, one, you know, strongly in word of memo from the State Department, excuse me, sir.
We are very upset about this rift in uh diplomacy with uh I mean this isn't gonna work for a country that acts as a as a as a police state that even Orwell couldn't have conjured up in his in his wildest dreams.
Uh 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, uh pretty serious impact going forward, because once once you can get into a system like this, and because the web is global and and hold the company hostage to your demands in this way.
I don't know where this really stops.
And I don't also don't really know what the what the uh response from this administration could could be or would be.
So far it's been nothing.
There was that momentary outtage of the internet in North Korea, which I don't know.
I'm neither confirmed or not.
I'm not saying we did, I'm not saying we didn't.
Maybe, maybe that just happened.
I mean, you know, the lights are off at night.
I'm sure the internet goes down sometimes too.
Um and you know, I'm sure that there are many times when they've got a VHS tape in there and they're you know watching uh the 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 gonna be like twelve 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 uh continuing to try to find ways to infiltrate U.S. companies and influence what we can talk about here, which I think particularly particularly annoys us.
You know, the interview made like $15 million, I think, on and that was as of uh a couple of days ago.
I'm not sure what the number is now, um, which I think it's that's probably what it would have made even without all this nonsense.
I mean, 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.
Um but 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 a backdrop of China constantly hacking as a matter of sort of state policy.
It's just they just do this.
Hacking and stealing sensitive commercial and military uh information from anyone and 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 uh you know, playing defense doesn't get it done here.
So I don't know how we're supposed to look at this now, other than you know, 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.
Um and one 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 good time.
Let's do it.
This is Buck Sexton Info Rush Limbaugh.
Give me a call, I'll be right back.
Buck Sexton here.
I've been saying I'm gonna give you my sense of twenty fifteen or what we can at least expect, and and I'm about to do that, but I wanted to take a call first and I'll take some more right after.
I wanna I want to hear what you think we can expect in twenty fifteen as we get ready here to, you know, celebrate New Year's Eve.
We're not celebrating this in spring.
That would be ridiculous.
Even though for a long time that was actually the case.
It was uh New Year's used to be in uh springtime.
Now now we do it this time of year.
Um it would actually kind of make sense to me.
But nonetheless, let's take Paul in Florida.
Paul, you're on the Rush Limbaugh show, you're speaking to Buck.
Yeah, hi, Buck.
Uh, I'd like to wish uh you and Mr. Sturdley and all the staff and all the listeners a presumptive happy new year.
Uh we all deserve it after what we've gone through this past year.
Um one of the less pleasant aspects of what happened this past year was that a couple of weeks ago uh 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 uh considerable number of illegal activities until uh next October.
Um and the Rhino leadership negotiated uh with the House and Senate uh on our side and uh negotiated most aspects of this spending uh with the Democrats behind closed doors for weeks and months preceding, and then plopped the seven hundred page bill on the clerk's desk uh okay the day before the vote, and then forced uh our elected representatives to vote for it uh basically sight unseen.
Uh and so the Rhinos think that they've stuck us with the bill once again, and also with uh funding Obama's illegal immigration activities uh until next October.
However, such is not the case.
Uh we have a chance here, a golden opportunity, a historic opportunity to hoist them on their own petard.
Uh next Tuesday, the House reconvenes, and they're going to have a vote on uh the speaker of the House.
Right on Boehner, yeah, I think it's set for January sixth.
Yeah.
That'll be the first day back.
It's normally the first or second roll call vote.
And uh uh even though Boehner was nominated uh in the House caucus in the middle of November, uh things have changed since then.
Uh uh, particularly the uh 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 uh December the second, it's on YouTube.
Uh he said, and I quote, speaking of the executive uh um amnesty, um uh 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 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 uh Mr. Boehner not only from his speakership but from the House.
Uh but let's just stick with the speech with the speakership vote.
Paul Paul uh thank you uh for calling in and I'll try to address some of what you're saying.
Look, I I I wish I could tell you that there were some uh some way to excuse or to explain away uh the passage of the of the omnibus, the cromnibus.
Uh I 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.
Uh 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 we'll just give this thing up right away.
Uh they're gonna vote as as we just said in uh what is it on on January sixth.
There are some conservative lawmakers who are saying they're actually not gonna vote for Boehner.
I think they're um but but I'm not sure they're gonna get to the thirty republi if they have thirty vote for someone other than Boehner, um they'll have to keep voting until somebody gets to the threshold.
So twenty nine, okay, twenty-nine, thank you.
Um and you know, I I don't I don't think they're gonna get there.
And so I think that you're probably gonna have Boehner in uh in the leadership role again.
I guess the the best that we could hope for, and I'm not saying this this is an unsatisfactory explanation, but you know, I'm not the one that's that passed the omnibus bill.
I I don't know what to tell you.
Uh 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 I don't know what to tell you.
Um but Paul, it's uh it's disconcerting to say the least.
So thank you.
Uh thank you for calling in.
You know, I have another thing that that that's I think not getting enough attention, and you can expect a lot more of this uh in in 2015.
Uh we've talked about executive orders um and there are even there are other ways even that the president's enforcing his will despite the fact that he won't have uh Congress to to work with, you know.
Congress is obstructing.
You know, that's always the thing.
Well now they're you know, Congress is not gonna be obstructing, they're gonna be uh he's gonna 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 gonna be wielding that veto pen like it's going out of style.
Um one would hope.
But again, I I was I didn't think that they would do what they did on the spending bill.
I didn't think that they would fund uh Amnesty, for example.
So I I don't know.
I mean, and they may try to make some some changes or adjustments in the new year, but you know, who knows.
Um but the Federal Register uh, which he Obama imposed 75,000 pages of new regulations uh in 2014.
21,000 regulations so far uh under Obama and 2300 set for 2015.
So his administration's rules, this is according to the Washington Examiner, uh would have 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 thiefdoms that they issue law.
They act as their own little legislative body in this case.
You know, 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 gonna see some of these things really bite.
You're gonna see some of the uh some executive actions from the president, whether he calls them 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.
Uh that will be a Republican majority finally in both the House and the Senate after uh the years we've had to suffer through with Democrats in the uh having a majority in the Senate.
So you have uh, like I said, almost 470,000 pages of right of regulations of rules from the presidency going into this point in time.
Now remember, the number is that's that 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, the 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, it's sort of like uh Christopher Walk in.
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 uh progressive Democrats in charge of lawmaking right now.
Or or sorry, won't be in in the new year.
So just look for the executive branch to do things, and but 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 uh the possibility of an Iranian embassy by the end of Obama's time in office.
He's already speaking openly about that.
He's gonna 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 gonna in any way really slow down uh the mulahs, and they're gonna keep, you know, tweet trolling us, the aya troll.
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 um 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.
And President Obama has set this is kind of a time fuse here.
I mean, this is going to take uh a bit of time before we see the full impact of it.
But just as with the amnesty that actually happened under under Reagan, it wasn't until a 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.
800-28282.
Uh this is Buck Sexton Inforush Limbaugh.
I will be right back.
Buck Sexton here in for rush limbaugh.
I'm seeing some reaction from uh those of you listening, some of you listening on uh Twitter at Buck Sexton there and also Facebook.com slash Buck Sexton.
I'm looking at the messages there too.
Uh please send me messages, like the page.
Um some people seem to think that I'm saying that uh because I can't come up with a justification for no the purpose what I'm saying is that I I can't explain to you why Boehner would do what he did.
And 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 that's where it is.
I'm just looking at the facts as uh as I see them.
I think that uh it's some new leadership would be great.
I just don't see that happening.
Correct me, correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't see Boehner losing when they when they hold this vote on uh 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 uh who actually wants to stand up and fight a bit on these issues, but look, they already abdicated on the uh January January did that what did I say?
Oh sorry that I meant January 6th.
Um so yeah, I meant they obdicated on the spending bill, and obviously they've funded they funded amnesty, which seems crazy to me.
Uh David in uh Florida, you are on the Rush Limbaugh show.
You're speaking to Buck Sexton.
Yeah, I appreciate you.
Appreciate your send in.
You're doing a good job.
Thank you.
Uh yeah, I just have a quick comment and a question.
I'm just I'm uh I'm listening to the bacteria of the little commercials on the uh during a break that are really funny on one hand, but on the other hand, a lot of the stuff they're talking about picking on a really serious issue, and what Obama's done in his presidency uh as far as uh you know overusing his executive orders and usurping his power uh going around Congress and everything.
Our forefathers would have I want to ask you when I'm done with my comment what you think our fourth forefathers would have done, or even generations past what the leaders of our country would have done.
Well, one comment I wanted to make was uh several years ago in Honduras, uh the president made a really bold statement from the podium uh about him being the president forever.
Well, uh 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.
So what you know, when when do we actually all these people that have taken oath, all these higher up uh politicians and military leaders that all take an oath to protect us against Obama, what he's doing right now.
He's a domestic terrorist.
What he's doing is uh completely illegal.
And my question to you is David we're uh D David, uh I think I mean if you're I thought you wanted to talk about the uh the question of impeachment.
We got a little we got uh kind of ran off the rails there a little bit.
But um the president's not gonna impeaching is uh doesn't actually have any mechanism if you don't have the requisite two-thirds in the Senate for removal from office, and that's which which you don't have.
The Democrats aren't gonna go along with it.
So you're if you're asking me why haven't they taken the 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.
Um and that's just the way it is.
Uh, you know, there's so you're talking about the military stepping in.
By the way, in that case of Honduras, um, I believe our State Department actually sided with the guy who was trying to be a dictator for life in Honduras.
In fact, yeah, yeah, they did.
Hillary Clinton was like, oh no, we like that guy, the dictator guy.
If only Bill could have had those powers, we would 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 then 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 what I got paid like seven million dollars to like Hudwink America.
You know, that guy.
Uh there's another thing out now uh that shows him talking about how there are no cost controls in Obamacare.
And just get ready for that, by the way.
Because that's what's interesting is that we don't have a single payer system.
We don't actually have socialized medicine.
What we have is uh the government expanding care, but uh 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 uh Gruber.
I think I got a hat to yeah, Daily Caller again on this one.
Good stuff, Daily Caller.
Uh you got Gruber saying that there are no cost controls.
Yeah, there's like no there's no cost controls in it, and so I just think you know, it's called the stupidity of the American people.
Uh they don't know this.
It's gonna be very expensive.
Uh and it's true, it is gonna get very expensive, and your premiums are going up, and your payment for not getting insurance under Obamacare is is going to go up.
They're of course touting the fact that they say they have 18.
This is on uh politico, they have 18 million uh what is it, 18 million total?
Oh no, sorry.
Uh Obamacare enrollment has topped nine million um in enrollees as of the most recent data available to HHS.
So, you know, they're gonna 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.
Um just get ready for that.
So I want to share some thoughts on immigration, and then I'm just gonna have to wish you all a very uh wonderful and happy new year after the break.
800 2822.
