00:00 How about that? I love it. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday January 27th 2022 this is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 1420! This is no agenda And broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where all Californians are rooting for Maxine Waters to become the next Supreme Court Justice. I'm John C DeVore. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill! Really now? Wait wait wait okay we have to explain this
00:42 We have a Supreme Court justice retiring in the United States. That's always, always a political hot potato! That's when we all go crazy because you know it's so important to the Supreme Court not political at all and of course immediately the conspiracy therapist in me says aha The Kamala exit VP to SCOTUS is back in play. Yes, that's right I actually have a clip that makes this clear Okay, I want to hear this! They've already put out their list of potential candidates and i don't think Ms Harris is on the list Well it doesn't mean she won't get picked Yeah sure... okay let's play this clip
01:24 Which one is Oh Scotus Campbell is yeah, so this person has to be a woman She has to be black and she's got to be younger Anybody thinking what I'm thinking they don't know what to do with Kamala Harris in the White House right now? I can't be the only person seeing this. What where is this from Sorry didn't know you were going to the bathroom Hello? Ask later. I didn't know... It's from Fox Is this Frau Ingram, is that who i'm hearing? No no this is the uh called what's that show called where they have all these women and one guy outnumbered over overrated And you have read, I'm sure you have Kaylee because you and I have chatted about it we've been reading that maybe something like this could happen with the vice president he runs again at someone else look
02:14 I prefer to drink my tea rather than read the tea leaves. But when Jonathan Turley puts out the information of young black and female, it's hard not to see at least she makes the list? Kayleigh? I think you're right. And glad you said that, Harris because that was playing in my mind from the moment we heard about this retirement. You know it is politically speaking if you are not happy with your vice president and you want her in a different role there's no greater role than on the Supreme Court It's a role anyone would be honored to have Again, you know I would just note there's no reporting to this end at the moment so this is just speculation. But it's widely known-there isn't a ton of reporting Harris as we've covered here on the show that people are not quite happy with Kamala Harris both in the West Wing outside of the West Wing Democrat opposition
03:02 So it's a possibility. I think she is at least on the short list and maybe it's a position she'd readily want to consider or accept given the comment, given the challenges of the vice presidency, given the frustrations she has incurred. I think its' a theory that could be credible Even I don't buy this. You're the one that's been pushing it! No, I said this is what i'm hearing and its...I'm not pushing it. You are pushing like a drug dealer Yeah okay all right gloves are off Dvorak and we just getting started We're on these clips Well let me just say something Just to complete the theory The theory is Kamala becomes Supreme Court Justice as a black woman
03:43 And then we have Hillary who slides into the VP slot. That's right, that's the part you're missing. Sorry I keep forgetting about that horror You miss that part but let's look at these... well i don't know what you have but there are a couple of names if you want to go through them or do you have more clips? Well actually I've got my predictions over here Yeah you always have predictions for these things Well lets back up and mention it newbies that listen to this show, that we are unbelievably good at this. You in particular are good at picking popes? If you want a pope Adam's your man!
04:24 Yes, I should mention the poll pick of yours was not non-trivial. It was out of left field and nailed it! Thank you, I appreciate that. I'm good at picking vice president candidates and also presidents...I'd say i was on the Biden thing before when he was still failing Supreme Court justices, I'm pretty sure like Amy Comey Barrett was pretty much brought up by the two of us. Yeah, you pushed it more than... yeah, I think you had her on the list. I have that one I'm picking is we'll talk about that but let's just do their little intro here because this is very important only happens once in a while
05:05 But let's play these two clips. This is next good, just Supreme Court justice of the United States. President Biden's first group of judicial nominees among them is Katonji Brown Jackson already a hot prospect for nomination to the Supreme Court should a vacancy arise and PR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg has this profile confirmed Jackson would take away stop stop I have to set...I didn't realize, I forgot which clip this was but i had to set it up. This was way before...this is my pick by the way as Jackson There's three women major women in play one of them is not black enough One it's too black. This is how you do it Yeah, this this is the secret to getting these things as has nothing to do with competency with meritocracy Curiously this woman is the most competent oh
06:02 Oh, there you go. Okay. A couple of Harvard things going on she's personable she's kind of funny Do you have to be a lawyer or a judge? No One of the women is this Supreme Court justice from the state of California Supreme Court and She's high in the rankings but she does not black enough That's Leandra Kruger Yeah, yeah. She's not black enough and she's Jewish. Oh, I already got enough Jews on the street now. Yeah, no that won't work. Black Jewish is always kind of weird Just so you know just so you know i got another report yesterday from another corporation And there were people on a phone call talking about which vendor to hire for a particular task
06:51 And, lo and behold in the meeting no we can't take that company because there's too many white people who work there. You have a tape of this? Oh God do I wish! Do I wish... No But then just pointing out that you know so this is say it the same criteria have to apply That's how we're operating as we speak at the moment Yep yep yep She doesn't look black at all actually to be honest. It makes no good sense She has to be bipod. And she's not a, didn't work in the courts or anything and they pushed her right up to Supreme Court Justice in the state of California. So no you don't! Earl Warren I think may have been a lawyer when he became Chief Justice He was Governor of California and they just gave him... Now you're this. No you don't! They could pick YOU
07:48 Oh my goodness. This is a great idea! Exit strategy, get a cool dress and everything. Hey is Sherilyn Ifill... Is she Gwen Ifill's sister? I was looking at her since I'd already written her off as a possibility but I saw the name and thought the same thing or daughter maybe. Cousin no cousin I'm looking it up on The Book of Knowledge. So she so she's also shortlisted She yeah, and there's a Gwen Ifill was on a stamp. Okay, well that might be politically correct to pick her Well I think I think Sherrilynne ifill is is definitely black enough if that's what we're going for
08:32 If that's what we're going for. I don't believe it. The problem with Campbell, although it kind of creates a screwball balance on the court... Campbell is married to a white guy who looks like a preppy. Oh! Problematic Not necessarily. It might be good because Clarence Thomas is married to a white woman Yeah but we dealt with his ass a long time ago Yes, we leashed him a long time ago. This clip that we're playing is a previous bio of this woman done by Nina Totenberg, who's got her you know she's important. Before when she was becoming a justice in one of the courts that one of the federal courts and there's a very fawning thing here and more up-to-date when I part two but let's go back to next
