WEBVTT - Bert & Ernie Were Never This Aggressive! 

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Burton, Ernie were never this aggressive. It's one more thing,

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>one more thing. And I think I've seen Edgar and

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Mosse Is it moss most I can't remember. It's this

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>dude who goes around interviewing people with a puppet that's

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>pretty muppety looking. And I couldn't decide whether to bring

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>this to you because the visuals are fun. It's not

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that dog with the cigar from Conan, No, but it's

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a cousin the insult comic dog or whatever. Yeah,

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>what what was the name of that dog?

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Triumph Triumph? Triumph?

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Triumph was so great? But anyway, this is a muppet

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>looking puppet, and the visual of it is it will

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>like mug for the camera and react to what the

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>person is saying in a way. This is pretty damned amusing,

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna miss that. But he was going around

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to asking people in DC specific about crime and policies

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>about crime. And I've never been interviewed by a puppet,

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>but the people took it fairly seriously. Michael will start

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.679
<v Speaker 1>with ninety and just roll on from there.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Is fighting crime right wing? No, then how come so

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 3>many blue cities are full of crime?

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think in terms of blue and red.

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 3>I do think in terms of racial groups. Do you

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 3>feel safe in DC people who make that mistake of

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 3>stealing and robbing and stuff. Should they be locked up longer? Oh?

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 3>My god?

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 3>DC is definitely not a very safe place if you

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 3>use some common sense and avoid people who look obviously crazy.

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 3>Oh has DC always been a crime written hellhole?

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Depends on how you're thinking of crime, not white collar.

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Crime, the bullety crime, the thefty crime, the one that

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>gets politicians really mad. We have one for Hellhole.

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>It's better than New Orleans.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 3>This is correct.

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 2>I am always amazed by people who would rather, for

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 2>ideologic ideology reasons, pretend that crime doesn't bother them or

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 2>a problem, rather than admit it. I've noticed a lot

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 2>of those people are people that have never been victims

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>of a crime. Oh yes, yes, yes.

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>The old joke, which is worth knowing, is that the

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>definition of a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I heard that as a kid. Reality coming home to

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you changes people's attitudes a lot. You know, it's interesting

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>because both Jack and I and Katie, I'm guessing you,

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>to at least some extent, we're all a little bit

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>introverted to a lot introverted, and none of us is

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>particularly a joiner, you know, or I would loaner overstates

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>it for me because I like hanging out with fellas

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and playing golf and stuff on a miss anthrope, right,

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:09.679
<v Speaker 1>and so like social approval. My need for social approval

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>is so different, I'm guessing than somebody who would leap

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to sign on to some of these dumb ass ideas

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>totally because the rest of the college students and all,

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>what's that go.

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>To a march? Ever, yeah, well exactly.

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>No. Desperate for approval from other people, they will latch

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>onto ideas in philosophies no matter how effing stupid and

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>unworkable they are, and in spite of all the evidence

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>that they're effing stupid and unworkable. But you're right, yeah,

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that is striking. No, don't lock them up longer. They're

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the victims. Hold on, a wise puppet.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Here's the mayor doing a good job keeping crime down.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>She could do a better job with the youth.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 3>That's where a lot of the crime is coming from.

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Young kids, no fathers, lots of guns. Do we just

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 3>have to basically adopt these kids? With them in boarding

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 3>school twenty four to seven, twelve months a year and

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 3>just reparent them till you have a successful generation that's

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 3>not gonna put a cap in your ass.

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's the right approach. Why not? I

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>wish she had a gun violence prevention department?

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 3>Aren't those the cops?

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you own a gent?

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Roll?

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 3>If a guy named George helps put criminals back on

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 3>the street to rape and murder again, should we A

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 3>indict George, prosecute him, B pardon George or C give

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>George the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I'm not a lawyer.

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>We should indict George.

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm sorry, but Joe Biden chose Joyce. C. Yeah,

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 3>George Sorows, with his revolving door policies for the das

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 3>that he puts in office, has put one criminal after

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 3>another back on the streets.

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Debaly should not be talking to you.

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Shouldn't we just like change how we vote so they'd

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 3>not put back on the streets so readily.

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how readily they're putting on the street.

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 3>Have I got a story for you, my dear, Well,

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to hear it.

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>That's wow geez, no comment required. I don't want to

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>hear it.

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I dare you enlighten yourself. That is a poster child

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>right there, and they're talking to a dog puppet. No,

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 2>he's not a dog.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>He's just a puppet.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Big fan of a puppet that says, pop a cap

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 2>in your wrass? What he say?

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>He's a muppet looking puppet.

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, just not a particular animal, just a puppet. He's humanoid.

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, so practically like a mannequin.

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Except that he looks like Ernie from Sesame Street. He

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>sounds fun. He does sound fun.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Final clip What.

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Best describes Democratic crime policy. He hugs for thugs, be

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 3>no crime left behind or see in and out murder.

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Biden commuted the death sentence of a child rapist and murderer.

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Seventy five percent of the Democratic House voted not to

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 3>deport migrants for sex offenses. New York City cops let

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 3>a woman burn to death in the subway. Ellie's on

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 3>fire due to mismanagement. Safer Republicans or Democrats?

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I think Democrats are safer.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>The laugh of the maniac there.

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you think he gets better answers out of people

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 2>by being a puppet than he would if he maybe

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 2>gets them to stop and they otherwise wouldn't.

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they don't see they don't get their defenses up.

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Ah, that's interesting until he hits them with the actual questions.

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear it.

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 2>I'd be more likely to stop and talk to a

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>puppet than like a guy with a microphone. I don't

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>know why.

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I would too, that's weird icturing it. A guy out

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>with a microphone says, excuse me, could I ask you

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a up of questions? Actually I might. I might go ahead.

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>But the guy if a puppet.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>He's attached to a guy.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, I don't know how you if you understand how puppets.

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Were what ye right?

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Up his heiny, I might be so amused. Yeah, I'd

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>be more likely. I'd think, what the hell? This will

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>be nutty at the very least.

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say to the puppet, why are you

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 2>suitcasing a dude?

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, a small part of a dude. I can see

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>the dude. So you've undergone the pain and the anguish

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:38.559
<v Speaker 1>for nothing.

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't know what's pain and anguish.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point, it's their own Huh.

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>How would you like our boss, he's a puppet.

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Every time we went into his meetings and just had

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to talk to the puppet.

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 2>That's more entertaining. Yeah, exactly. We've had a couple of bosses.

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I had begged for that anything, but what it was, well,

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's it.
