Speaker 1: Burton, Ernie were never this aggressive. It's one more thing,
Speaker 1: one more thing. And I think I've seen Edgar and
Speaker 1: Mosse Is it moss most I can't remember. It's this
Speaker 1: dude who goes around interviewing people with a puppet that's
Speaker 1: pretty muppety looking. And I couldn't decide whether to bring
Speaker 1: this to you because the visuals are fun. It's not
Speaker 1: that dog with the cigar from Conan, No, but it's
Speaker 1: it's a cousin the insult comic dog or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what what was the name of that dog?
Speaker 2: Triumph Triumph? Triumph?
Speaker 1: Triumph was so great? But anyway, this is a muppet
Speaker 1: looking puppet, and the visual of it is it will
Speaker 1: like mug for the camera and react to what the
Speaker 1: person is saying in a way. This is pretty damned amusing,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna miss that. But he was going around
Speaker 1: to asking people in DC specific about crime and policies
Speaker 1: about crime. And I've never been interviewed by a puppet,
Speaker 1: but the people took it fairly seriously. Michael will start
Speaker 1: with ninety and just roll on from there.
Speaker 3: Is fighting crime right wing? No, then how come so
Speaker 3: many blue cities are full of crime?
Speaker 2: I don't think in terms of blue and red.
Speaker 3: I do think in terms of racial groups. Do you
Speaker 3: feel safe in DC people who make that mistake of
Speaker 3: stealing and robbing and stuff. Should they be locked up longer? Oh?
Speaker 3: My god?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: DC is definitely not a very safe place if you
Speaker 3: use some common sense and avoid people who look obviously crazy.
Speaker 3: Oh has DC always been a crime written hellhole?
Speaker 2: Depends on how you're thinking of crime, not white collar.
Speaker 3: Crime, the bullety crime, the thefty crime, the one that
Speaker 3: gets politicians really mad. We have one for Hellhole.
Speaker 2: It's better than New Orleans.
Speaker 3: This is correct.
Speaker 2: I am always amazed by people who would rather, for
Speaker 2: ideologic ideology reasons, pretend that crime doesn't bother them or
Speaker 2: a problem, rather than admit it. I've noticed a lot
Speaker 2: of those people are people that have never been victims
Speaker 2: of a crime. Oh yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: The old joke, which is worth knowing, is that the
Speaker 1: definition of a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
Speaker 1: I heard that as a kid. Reality coming home to
Speaker 1: you changes people's attitudes a lot. You know, it's interesting
Speaker 1: because both Jack and I and Katie, I'm guessing you,
Speaker 1: to at least some extent, we're all a little bit
Speaker 1: introverted to a lot introverted, and none of us is
Speaker 1: particularly a joiner, you know, or I would loaner overstates
Speaker 1: it for me because I like hanging out with fellas
Speaker 1: and playing golf and stuff on a miss anthrope, right,
Speaker 1: and so like social approval. My need for social approval
Speaker 1: is so different, I'm guessing than somebody who would leap
Speaker 1: to sign on to some of these dumb ass ideas
Speaker 1: totally because the rest of the college students and all,
Speaker 1: what's that go.
Speaker 2: To a march? Ever, yeah, well exactly.
Speaker 1: No. Desperate for approval from other people, they will latch
Speaker 1: onto ideas in philosophies no matter how effing stupid and
Speaker 1: unworkable they are, and in spite of all the evidence
Speaker 1: that they're effing stupid and unworkable. But you're right, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is striking. No, don't lock them up longer. They're
Speaker 1: the victims. Hold on, a wise puppet.
Speaker 3: Here's the mayor doing a good job keeping crime down.
Speaker 2: She could do a better job with the youth.
Speaker 3: That's where a lot of the crime is coming from.
Speaker 3: Young kids, no fathers, lots of guns. Do we just
Speaker 3: have to basically adopt these kids? With them in boarding
Speaker 3: school twenty four to seven, twelve months a year and
Speaker 3: just reparent them till you have a successful generation that's
Speaker 3: not gonna put a cap in your ass.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the right approach. Why not? I
Speaker 2: wish she had a gun violence prevention department?
Speaker 3: Aren't those the cops?
Speaker 2: Do you own a gent?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Why not?
Speaker 1: Roll?
Speaker 3: If a guy named George helps put criminals back on
Speaker 3: the street to rape and murder again, should we A
Speaker 3: indict George, prosecute him, B pardon George or C give
Speaker 3: George the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 2: We should indict George.
Speaker 3: No, I'm sorry, but Joe Biden chose Joyce. C. Yeah,
Speaker 3: George Sorows, with his revolving door policies for the das
Speaker 3: that he puts in office, has put one criminal after
Speaker 3: another back on the streets.
Speaker 2: Debaly should not be talking to you.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't we just like change how we vote so they'd
Speaker 3: not put back on the streets so readily.
Speaker 2: I don't know how readily they're putting on the street.
Speaker 3: Have I got a story for you, my dear, Well,
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1: That's wow geez, no comment required. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it.
Speaker 2: I dare you enlighten yourself. That is a poster child
Speaker 2: right there, and they're talking to a dog puppet. No,
Speaker 2: he's not a dog.
Speaker 1: He's just a puppet.
Speaker 2: Big fan of a puppet that says, pop a cap
Speaker 2: in your wrass? What he say?
Speaker 1: He's a muppet looking puppet.
Speaker 2: Okay, just not a particular animal, just a puppet. He's humanoid.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so practically like a mannequin.
Speaker 1: Except that he looks like Ernie from Sesame Street. He
Speaker 1: sounds fun. He does sound fun.
Speaker 2: Final clip What.
Speaker 3: Best describes Democratic crime policy. He hugs for thugs, be
Speaker 3: no crime left behind or see in and out murder.
Speaker 3: Biden commuted the death sentence of a child rapist and murderer.
Speaker 3: Seventy five percent of the Democratic House voted not to
Speaker 3: deport migrants for sex offenses. New York City cops let
Speaker 3: a woman burn to death in the subway. Ellie's on
Speaker 3: fire due to mismanagement. Safer Republicans or Democrats?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I think Democrats are safer.
Speaker 1: The laugh of the maniac there.
Speaker 2: Do you think he gets better answers out of people
Speaker 2: by being a puppet than he would if he maybe
Speaker 2: gets them to stop and they otherwise wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they don't see they don't get their defenses up.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's interesting until he hits them with the actual questions.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 2: I'd be more likely to stop and talk to a
Speaker 2: puppet than like a guy with a microphone. I don't
Speaker 2: know why.
Speaker 1: I would too, that's weird icturing it. A guy out
Speaker 1: with a microphone says, excuse me, could I ask you
Speaker 1: a up of questions? Actually I might. I might go ahead.
Speaker 1: But the guy if a puppet.
Speaker 2: He's attached to a guy.
Speaker 1: Obviously, I don't know how you if you understand how puppets.
Speaker 2: Were what ye right?
Speaker 1: Up his heiny, I might be so amused. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: be more likely. I'd think, what the hell? This will
Speaker 1: be nutty at the very least.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say to the puppet, why are you
Speaker 2: suitcasing a dude?
Speaker 1: Well, a small part of a dude. I can see
Speaker 1: the dude. So you've undergone the pain and the anguish
Speaker 1: for nothing.
Speaker 2: You don't know what's pain and anguish.
Speaker 1: That's a good point, it's their own Huh.
Speaker 2: How would you like our boss, he's a puppet.
Speaker 1: Every time we went into his meetings and just had
Speaker 1: to talk to the puppet.
Speaker 2: That's more entertaining. Yeah, exactly. We've had a couple of bosses.
Speaker 1: I had begged for that anything, but what it was, well,
Speaker 1: I guess that's it.
