JL;DR SUMMARY The episode tackles the recent murder of a young woman on the light rail in Charlotte, examining the media's handling of crime incidents and the implications of racial politics in these narratives. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

And the buses are just going to become places for these type of indigent, criminal, kind of suspicious characters who have long rap sheets to inhabit and to randomly act out. So I think New Yorkers should pay particular attention to this as well."

"Well, it happened. It happened earlier this week. But the story really took flight over the weekend when Trump is in the midst of his ongoing war of words with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker over whether the National Guard should go to Chicago. And I think this incident in Charlotte illustrates how many Americans feel about crime. All they hear from the liberal media and the Democratic Party is, crime is going down. Crime is going down. Data show. Data show. This word data has this almost magical effect on the minds of New York Times readers and NPR listeners. It's, oh, the data show. Then you open up your eyes and you see something like this happen on a bus to an innocent young refugee. And of course, the common sense response is we need to do everything we can to make sure incidences like this don't happen. Can I make two points in relation to that? So there was a lot of polling over the weekend, essentially sort of the monthly polling that people are now doing, showing unfavorable responses by the public to Trump's deployment of the National Guard, saving Chicago. The polling is, by the way, overall not bad for him. He's at 43, 44, 45 percent. It's not... You know, he's not like in the 30s or anything like that. It's not great, but it's not bad. It's sort of in... It's the Trump range. But there is this polling that says that he is u..."
