00:00 Where's Clooney? Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday April 23rd 2023 This is your award-winning Kibble Nation Media Assassination Episode 1549 This is no agenda Counting fifteen minutes in the city and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here at Fever Region Number 6 In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where if you step into a driveway we shoot you! I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning... Heh, it's called an accidental shooting. So there's all these, somebody just sent a note in saying you know these shootings. All of the sudden out of the blue a ball falls in the yard and guy shoots him. Somebody goes into door knocks on it shot yeah and there's all these stories they're all over the country it's almost like it's enough okay okay well we were gonna talk about something else but now you've led me right to it I have said well but before I say that is the op I'm gonna ask the big question about this up okay if this all this is going on where's all the dead
01:01 The dead Seventh-day Adventists and these religious guys who come to doors left and right. Where are they? They're killing the wrong people! Dead Jehovah's Witnesses, I want to know! There was blood everywhere in the house. Kinsley White was shot in the face while playing by her... This is deep by the way and there's a reason for this you'll hear this you'll hear what's going on ...home just outside of Charlotte Her father was seriously wounded. I couldn't get inside sometimes By the way, this kid is dynamite made for television. Witnesses say a neighbor began shooting at them after a basketball rolled onto his yard Tuesday. Kinsley had a bullet fragment removed from her cheek. Her father who reportedly tried to shoot back remains hospitalized
01:48 I want him to go to jail forever. Late today, the alleged shooter 24-year old Robert Singletary turned himself in to authorities in Florida as a number of victims of shootings caused by seemingly innocent mistakes mounts so does the fury Nearly a thousand miles away, these mothers protested gun violence on the Kansas-Missouri state line. One week after 16 year old Ralph Yarle was shot after ringing the wrong doorbell. You have mental health issues everywhere but when you pair those with absolute chaos in terms of gun legislation. This is what you get." Gun violence is a public health epidemic. Johns Hopkins researcher Cassandra Krafasi says studies have repeatedly shown that people are less safe when guns are present. What is driving this increase in shootings? We have seen record increases in gun purchasing,
02:42 We're also seeing increases in fear-based marketing of firearms, as well as stoking fears of political violence, social violence, racially motivated violence. The states with the weakest gun laws have high gun death rates — three times as high as states with the strongest restrictions. There's no place you can run from any of this I dispute that statistic That has never been a statistic It's never been this statistic. Could you turn your speakers on just a little bit for me please? So, this is obviously a massive psychological push to somehow magically create some legislation that will ban guns in America That's not how it works of course It was everywhere! That was ABC Here's Bill Maher on HBO I've always known in America that there are certain things if you did you'd get shot Or there would be likely chance at getting shot
03:36 This week we found out, we're gonna add to that list innocent mistakes. Innocent mistakes and I love this it really goes across racial lines everybody in America shooting everybody else poor Ralph Yarle a young black man who was shot for ringing the wrong doorbell. I love what he's saying now He didn't get shot because he rang the wrong doorbell. The guy inside was crazy That's why I got shot not because this is very very evil the way He's positioning this you rang the wrong doorbell You get shot in upstate New York Kevin Monaghan shot Kalen Gillis for
04:19 Pulling in the wrong driveway. You pulled in the wrong driveway be very afraid and Elgin, Texas Pedro Rodriguez shot two cheerleaders for getting in the wrong car Yeah It has nothing to do with the status of the shooter it's all about you did something wrong and then a black man Robert Singletary shot a six-year old and her father when their ball went in his yard And all these things have in common, the shooters themselves were in no danger. So what do we do over at CBS? Well, we've got to bring in the hero! We're going to continue our conversation with a former first lady her name of course is Michelle Obama I have to say something about the book because it's called The Light We Carry Overcoming In Uncertain Times
05:07 I really think that these are uncertain times. And, you know, I look at the things in the news recently — the three recent shootings, a terrible shooting in Kansas City with a 16-year old thank God he survived... Yes! A young woman in New York was shot turning into driveway just normal things Do you think that we can ever figure out a way to reconcile gun violence in this country, because it does keep me up. I hope and pray that at some point enough becomes enough. What is their point? We wondered that throughout our entire presidency. We wonder about this throughout our entire presidency. Our! At some point enough becomes enough What is that point? You know, we wondered that throughout our entire presidency thinking that this time Barack Obama said the Newtown was one of the worst days of his presidency and we still didn't get that message But we are the only developed country on the planet
06:13 where its citizens can have unfettered access to firearms. I'd have to call that fact check false, but okay. That's bull crap! Yeah? That is not a good thing and more of us have to feel strongly about it in particularly our young people this is where democracy comes in voting this all this stuff is decided In the ballot box. Okay, no! No! The only way to decide this removal of guns which is clearly what is being called for here... ...is by creating a new amendment to the Constitution to override the Second Amendment It's not the ballot box it's not- You can repeal the Second Amendment you don't have to overwrite it Correct, correct. You could repeal it But wouldn't that actually be an amendment that would repeal the Second Amendment?
07:07 I think so. I don't know if that's called an amendment or not? Well, how about the 21st Amendment wasn't that a repeal of the was it which one repealed prohibition I don't know. That was also an enemy. Yeah, I think it is the 21st okay yeah probably that would have to be called out right but it's not just like oh go vote Democrat and your guns will be taken away but that is what she's going for and as you know you think I'm crazy? You think I'm nuts? I believe the Democrats are going to run Michelle Obama and thank God the question came up just listen... I emceed this event at Lincoln Center jazz at Lincoln Center for Wynton Marcellus in just mentioning your name that you were gonna be on people went
07:49 I mean, people have such expectations and hopes that will she? Will she? I'm not even going to ask you that. OK question one why will you not even ask if she's going to run Gail is are you not a journalist Have you been told not to ask this question? You just said it Have you been asked not to ask this question or told not to ask this question? That's very weird. People have such expectations and hopes that will she, will she I'm not even going to ask you that but do ever wonder or do ever think when will politics change? It is quite likely Michelle Obama is not of the sort that goes in there and allows free wheel
08:29 She probably, it's quite possible that she specifically said I'm not doing this interview if you ask me this question. I agree i think that's exactly what happened but then words matter the truth wants to come out listen to what Michelle Obama says But do you ever wonder or do you ever think when will politics leave you because you said I'm not a political person politics isn't something I wanted but people still hope and want you to do something Yeah, it okay this first of all you knew the question that wasn't a question was going to come and now yeah And listen to her answer. Oh, yeah
09:09 Yeah. And why is Gayle laughing? Why is Gayle laughing about this question? Well, because Gayle knew that... Gayle skirted it and did a good job you should congratulate her! And Gayle knows that she's running listen uh yeah um I am authentic if I were gonna engage in politics I would let people know She says, if I weren't going to engage in... but you have to listen carefully. Wait a minute go back and play that again because she says if I'm authentic? She says I'm authentic and if I weren't not were and if I weren't going to engage in politics I would let people know. I am authentic if I were gonna engage in politics. Were. I hear weren't
09:53 I don't hear weren't, i hear were. I am authentic if we're gonna engage in politics. Were? No, I hear weren't but okay and we can dispute that until the cows come home. I'm authentic if I were going to engage in politics I would let people know but I am a public figure I still care about these issues yes I will always find ways to use my platform to speak out thats why im focusing on getting young people to vote Because none of it matters. It doesn't matter who's in the Oval Office if you can't give them a Congress that they can work with. If we're not managing our state houses and on and on, I could go on and on about it. And I'm not even pushing for your running. That ship has sailed, I get it. Yeah okay so...I will just hold onto my prediction
10:39 You totally disagree, that's fine. I think they're gonna run her and I believe that this is why the Obama CIA is getting rid of Joe because man did they really do a number with this Mike Morrell thing? That's insane! Yeah I've been thinking about the Mike Morrell thing more after writing it up in the newsletter yeah I want to throw a little I don't know if... Well, before we...I don't want to leave this topic because they got some Nora clips. Okay. Where I thought was kind of interesting and this is Nora you know they have to do their thing at CBS they're talking about all these random shootings
