Sky News Australia, Joe Biden, Vincent Giganti Comparison
Sky News Australia is accused of mimicking the show's analytical style regarding Joe Biden's public appearances. The network compared Biden's behavior at the UN General Assembly, including his interactions with Benjamin Netanyahu and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to mobster Vincent "The Chin" Giganti. Giganti famously feigned mental illness by wandering Greenwich Village in pajamas to evade prosecution while leading the Lucchese crime family.

00:00 This is what broadcasting has become. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, September 24th, 2023. This is your award-winning Give On Asian Media Assassination Episode 1593. This is no agenda. We're all out of room and we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where everybody notices that they steal material from us. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! Uh-oh, do we have another theft report?
00:35 I got a three-part clip. Well, a three-part clip of them, of them, whoever them is, stealing. Sky News Australia. Sky News stealing from us. Please know that it gives me no great pleasure to report this, but this week the world got an up-close look at Joe Biden and it appears that he really is coming apart before our eyes. The occasion for this examination was the annual meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York, when the world's leaders gather at that great temple of uselessness that is the United Nations to put on a show to convince the rest of us they know what they're doing. So already they're stealing our set up.
01:23 Phoebe! Yes, I know, it's Sky News Australia. They're thieves. Yeah, I don't blame her for barking. Me neither. Good luck with that. And of course, leading the pack here was our man Joe Biden. Here he was addressing the leaders of the globe and I tell you what, I feel pretty bad for some of the folks who were doing simultaneous translations. Now, he has the evolve our institutions and drive creative new partnerships. Let me be clear. Certain principles are in the national system are sacrosanct. certain person but about your guess is as good as mine then there was this little meeting with the president of Brazil which played out more like a hearing aid commercial you might hear on talkback radio Wow and to say to present by can you hear me president Biden this is a historical moment for Brazil and for the US are you there president Biden it's me Margaret
02:18 Biden, of course, forgot to shake the Brazilian president's hand to his great delight. Not. There was this bizarre moment when, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Joe Biden made the sign of the cross. I've checked it over 40 years, and our friendship goes a long way and can take us a long way. I'm sorry, let's just see that again. This is just, it's just, All too weird. I don't know. Faith and Begora note that it is also in this meeting that Bibi Netanyahu spoke off the cuff while Biden of course needed those note cards he always holds on to to speak because well we know what happens when he goes off script. Yeah you know except we do it in less time than these guys. No, this is the point. This is actually a well-structured shaggy dog story. The punchlines in clip three
03:16 But it's a shaggy dog story and you'll see how it's structured at the very end. Just go to two. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, the woman whose mere existence as vice president makes the Secret Service's job so easy, well, she's just making friends everywhere she goes. You know, when we think about minority small business owners, and let's be more specific about Latino small business owners, yes, it is restaurants, but it is so much more. So, basically there, if you read between the lines, Kamala Harris thinks that Latinos just own taco stands or something, I guess. Which means that when she saw Jill Biden call Mexicans breakfast burritos at one time, she was just thinking, hold my beer. Now, at this point, I gotta wonder, is this whole shambling, stuttering, clumsy Biden routine, I mean...
04:07 It's declined, but maybe it's not. Could it be that there's something else entirely going on? Sometimes I think maybe he's actually putting on an act so people underestimate him or don't realize that he's the mastermind of this whole huge sort of behind-the-scenes operation. I don't know, maybe Joe Biden is playing it up like a cry for help. So the political pressure builds to allow him to gracefully retire rather than be forced to keep doing the job to please Jill or whomever it is. I don't know. I know where this is leading. I know where this is leading. And the funny thing, a classic Shaggy Dog story, and you do them once in a while on the show.
04:46 You do the Veeroff things, usually two or three of them, and the Kamala Harris materials got nothing to do with anything. But that's what you do when you do a shaggy dog to kind of keep the person interested by trying it by making semi-interesting little asides. But here's the part where they steal our material. Sometimes, just sometimes. This whole thing reminds me a little bit of the old New York City mobster, Vincent the Chinjaganti, who for years threw off the authorities by putting on a public act suggesting he was in fact just himself a harmless shuffling mentally ill wanderer, when in fact he was a criminal mastermind in charge of a whole criminal enterprise.
05:30 Former member of the Lucchese crime family, John Panisi, explained this a bit more here. Besides taking trips to psychiatric hospitals, Chin was known to wander around Greenwich Village unshaven, wearing pajamas, a bathrobe and house slippers, muttering gibberish. He'd talk to telephone poles and parking meters, and urinate at will in the street, and at times, randomly drop to his knees and cross himself. Randomly making the sign of the cross, you say? Nah, sure it's just a coincidence. You mean they stole from you is what you're saying. But I admire the structure of what they did, especially with the call back to the sign of the cross, which Giganti, I guess, supposedly did. Okay. I didn't know that. That part I'd never heard. Yeah. And Biden does it all the time. Dude.
