00:00...journalists at Comedy Central.
00:02It's America's only source for news.
00:05This is The Daily Show with your host, Michael Kosta.
00:20Whoo! Oh, baby, we got a good one.
00:23Welcome to The Daily Show. I'm Michael Kosta.
00:26We've got so much to talk about tonight.
00:28Everyone on Santa's Naughty List throws their own Christmas party.
00:31Trump tells Venezuela, look at me, I'm the captain now.
00:34And which fonts are the gayest? We investigate.
00:38So let's get into the headlines.
00:44Let's start with an update on America's escalating conflict with Venezuela.
00:48While it may seem to have come out of nowhere,
00:50it dates all the way back to the Mesozoic era,
00:53when oil formed under the Earth's surface,
00:56which Venezuela then greedily parked on top of.
00:59And now this conflict's heating up.
01:02We turn to that major escalation off the coast of Venezuela.
01:07American forces seizing an oil tanker,
01:09seen in this dramatic video here.
01:12The Department of Homeland Security shared the footage,
01:15set to the song, Mama Said Knock You Out.
01:18Oh my God, does everything have to be content these days?
01:31Can't we just take other countries' oil for the love of the game?
01:36I will say, I am so glad that we didn't have social media during World War II.
01:40Imagine if you saw a video of your grandpa storming the beaches of Normandy
01:43while wet-ass p***y by Cardi B plays.
01:49When Donald Trump delivered the news
01:51that America Captain Phillips-ed this oil tanker,
01:54you can see the moment when he thought for a second
01:57about not being Donald Trump,
01:59but then he decided to be Donald Trump.
02:02As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker
02:07on the coast of Venezuela.
02:09Large tanker, very large.
02:11Largest one ever seized, actually.
02:19Largest tanker ever seized, actually.
02:23How big was the oil tanker you seized, Abraham Lincoln?
02:28Tall, little-ass bitch.
02:31Trump really will find a way to brag about anything.
02:34I seized the largest oil tanker.
02:36I had the best MRI.
02:38I had the perfect phone call.
02:39I'm best friends with the world's greatest pedophile.
02:43You know...
02:43You know why you keep winning, Donald Trump?
02:47You're the only one in the competition.
02:50That's why that creepy-ass hand-orgy trophy is all yours, dude.
02:53No one else wants it.
02:57No one is quite sure why Trump is going after Venezuela so hard.
03:01But the fact is, Venezuela is being threatened,
03:03which is why yesterday, their president, Nicolas Maduro,
03:07came out in what I assume is his most threatening war hat
03:10to deliver a response.
03:13And look, I know that looks unserious,
03:15but this is a president addressing his own country
03:18on the brink of war.
03:20Let's see how he responds.
03:21You know how there's always that one guy at karaoke
03:37who thinks he nailed it?
03:40This guy is about to be overthrown.
03:42How is he so chill?
03:43Maybe they do have the best drugs, huh?
03:45So it seems like war with Venezuela is inevitable,
03:49even though Venezuelans don't want it,
03:51Americans don't want it,
03:53and Donald Trump still isn't quite sure
03:54if Venezuela is a country or his cleaning lady.
03:58Not to mention nobody...
03:59Not to mention...
04:03Nobody has the energy to start calling Arepas
04:06Liberty Cornmeal Cakes or something.
04:09And if you're wondering why the Secretary of State,
04:12Marco Rubio, isn't trying to find a diplomatic solution,
04:15it's because he has more important things
04:17on his plate right now.
04:18Secretary Rubio tells the State Department,
04:22get with the times.
04:23No more woke fonts.
04:26Yeah!
04:27Yeah!
04:29No more woke fonts.
04:31Wait, what the f*** is a woke font?
04:34Was it a font offended by the Sydney Sweetie jeans ad?
04:39Help me out here, Rubio.
04:40What makes it woke?
04:42The State Department is ditching Calibri
04:44after a new order from Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
04:48Documents are now switching back to Times New Roman.
04:50In 2023, the Biden administration
04:53had the department begin using Calibri,
04:55which is saying it's easier
04:57for visually impaired people to read.
04:59I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
05:00Calibri is woke because it's easier
05:02for visually impaired people to read?
05:05Who wouldn't want to help the visually impaired?
05:08I almost helped a blind guy cross the street once.
05:10It's very brave of me.
05:11But apparently for MAGA,
05:14the definition of woke
05:15has been so stretched
05:17that at this point it means
05:18helping other people at all,
05:20even if it doesn't hurt anyone else.
05:23That means if Calibri was woke,
05:25then ramps are woke.
05:27Braille is woke.
05:29Those chairs that lower old people
05:31into the hotel pool are woke.
05:33How else are they going to secretly
05:35finger blast each other under the water, huh?
05:42That's not the world I want to grow old in.
05:49This is such a pathetic attempt
05:51to start a culture war.
05:52There's no way conservative media
05:54is going to run with it, right?
05:55Right?
05:56Secretary Rubio
06:00trashing the Biden-era change
06:02to Calibri,
06:04a softer, wider font.
06:06Rubio says, and I quote,
06:09switching to Calibri achieved nothing
06:12except the degradation
06:13of the department's official correspondence.
06:17Boom!
06:18The superior font is back.
06:22Boom!
06:23Boom!
06:26Boom!
06:27You didn't see that, did you?
06:29No, because it wasn't written in Calibri,
06:30you soft-ass blonde bitches.
06:34I almost feel bad for conservative media.
06:37It's like they're suffering
06:38from an outrage shortage under Trump.
06:41Merry Christmas is back.
06:42We can say the R word again.
06:44Let's see, are there any gay fonts?
06:47And of course, Newsmax had to make
06:50this whole idea of a font
06:51called Calibri sound
06:52suspiciously ethnic?
06:55He's ordering every U.S. diplomat
06:57worldwide to stop immediately
06:59using that
07:00Calibri?
07:02Calibri?
07:03K-k-k-k-k-
07:05Calibru-Akhbar?
07:10Cala-cala-mamdani?
07:14Whatever happened to good old
07:16American font names
07:17like Kyle or Chad?
07:19Look, let's not forget about the real victim in all this
07:25Of course, I'm talking about the man who designed the Calibri font
07:30And before I show you who that is
07:32Just take a moment to picture in your mind
07:35What this professional font designer might look like
07:38Because you're correct
07:40Joining me now, Luke DeGroote, the designer who created the Calibri font
07:45Really appreciate you joining us today
07:47I mean, has anyone in history ever been more font designer than this guy?
07:57He only had two options in his life
07:59This or killing James Bond
08:01He looks like a guy who I would listen to while stroking my chin
08:06And then when he walked away, I'd go
08:08I have no f***ing clue what that guy's talking about
08:10But just look at this blackboard
08:13I mean, this guy's got game
08:15He's got a candle thing
08:17What looks like a new jeep
08:18And then look at the bottom right here
08:21Look at that ghost made out of train tracks
08:24Did he just...
08:25Is this like a new letter?
08:28You can see why this man makes the medium bucks, huh?
08:33Honestly, I'm just glad this kid who went to middle school
08:35And drew the cool S all the time
08:37Was allowed to make a career out of it
08:38Anyways, let's hear what Sprockets here has to say
08:43I assume it's something along the lines of
08:46All fonts are beautiful
08:47And we shouldn't be pitting them against each other?
08:50I would rather say that Times New Roman is not a professional font
08:53The distances between the letters are very irregular
08:56It's way too spindly
08:58It's too thin
08:59The seraphs are too thin
09:00The sharp details are hurt in the eyes
09:03And not very pleasing to read
09:06Whoa, shit!
09:10Shit!
09:12Damn!
09:15What?
09:17We got ourselves a font beef
09:20This is like Tupac and Biggie
09:23But for nerds
09:24I hope Times New Roman comes back hard
09:27Yo, mama's so fast
09:28She only types in aerial
09:30Bold
09:30Oh!
09:32Boom!
09:33For more on the culture war over fonts
09:35Let's go live to Washington with Ronnie Chang
09:38This is big, Ronnie
09:40Thank you
09:42Ronnie
09:43Isn't it silly to say a font is D-E-I?
09:48Oh, I'm sorry, Costa
09:50Are you speaking in Comic Sans right now?
09:53Because you sound like a f***ing joke
09:55Look, Americans voted for change
09:59And by change, they meant fonts
10:02Okay?
10:03Trump officials know that fonts
10:04Are how the woke mind virus sneaks into your eyes
10:07And they're doing something about it
10:10Ronnie, no one cares about fonts
10:12And for what it's worth, Calibri is just easier to read
10:15Uh, I don't care
10:17Calibri is just easier to read
10:18It's less harsh on my better cocked retinas
10:21Well, hey, maybe stop skipping i-day at the gym, bro
10:25So you're telling me if I don't want to be woke
10:29I have to use Times New Roman?
10:31No!
10:32That's even more woke
10:34Even the name
10:35Times New Roman?
10:37As in, I'm just roaming the bathhouses for gay sex?
10:42I don't think so
10:43I'm pretty sure that's not what it's short for
10:46But-but fine
10:46Okay, which fonts are not woke?
10:50Look, not a lot, okay?
10:51It's-it's-it's basically just the Metallica font
10:54And maybe the Goosebumps font
10:57But-but that's why the Trump administration's hard at work
11:01Designing brand new fonts here at the MAGA Font Laboratory
11:05The MAGA Font Laboratory?
11:08Yeah, yeah
11:09It used to be a research facility to combat childhood diabetes
11:12But, uh...
11:14RFK Jr. gave all the fat kids raw milk and sent them home
11:17So...
11:18So now, they're using this facility for actual good, okay?
11:25By creating the most alpha, unwocus typefaces you've ever seen
11:30Check this one out, Costa
11:32It's the America Rules font
11:34Do you see this?
11:38It's-it's pretty much the Sopranos font
11:41But even more letters are guns
11:44And guns are cool
11:47Therefore, this font is cool
11:49You scared, Costa?
11:51No, it-no
11:52It's just hard to read, though
11:54Yeah, that's the point
11:55They want things to be harder to read, okay?
11:58Reading is how liberals indoctrinate children
12:01Remember that book?
12:03Curious George?
12:06What's he so curious about, Costa?
12:08Islam?
12:11I don't wanna know
12:13Which is why we got another font that's even harder to read
12:18And we're calling it MAGA Warrior, okay?
12:20Every capital letter is a confederate monument
12:26Except the W's, which are boobs
12:31Now, imagine getting an official memo with that, Costa
12:37You'd probably shit your pants
12:40Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie, this is insane
12:42These are all offensive
12:44And-and they're just offensive for the sake of being offensive
12:47Why does this administration always have to act like such agro-bros?
12:51Because America needs to project strength
12:54Like with this font called, F*** You, Bro
12:57All-all the letters are just middle fingers, okay?
13:04You see how much better it makes this Maya Angelou poem?
13:07No, okay
13:08This isn't even writing anymore
13:11Why can't you guys just settle on-on a plain, neutral font like Courier?
13:15Oh, Courier?
13:17As in, send a courier to the bathhouse to pick up some Lizzo posters?
13:22No thanks, Costa
13:23You see what these fonts represent
13:25Oh
13:27Oh, oh, no
13:28Oh, no
13:29I'm-I'm being told, uh, uh
13:30One of the experimental fonts got out
13:33Uh, and this one's just a gorilla with a rocket launcher
13:35Okay, so I-I gotta get out of here
13:37Well, just follow the exit signs, Ronnie
13:39I-I-I can't, all the signs are just middle fingers
13:41I mean, it's-it's-it's so cool
13:45But where do I go?
13:47Where do I go?
13:48Where do I go?
13:49Where do I go?
13:53He'll-he'll be all right
13:55Ronnie Chang, everyone
13:56When we come back, we get a sneak peek
13:58At the best Christmas movie you'll see this year
14:01Don't go away
14:02Ronnie
14:02Welcome back to The Daily Show
14:23Well, it happened again
14:25I wasn't invited to the Obama's Christmas party
14:29But it's fine, I'm used to it by now
14:30But there is one Christmas party this year
14:33That I would have loved to attend
14:35George Santos hosted his inaugural Christmas party
14:38On Tuesday night
14:39I'm very excited to be celebrating
14:41With close friends, supporters
14:43And all people who really stuck by me
14:46The guest list included convicted socialite
14:48Anna Delvey
14:49And disgraced pharma exec
14:51Martin Shkreli
14:52Wow!
14:55George Santos, Anna Delvey, and Martin Shkreli
14:58At the same party?
15:00It was very exclusive
15:02The password to get in
15:04Was your social security number
15:05And your mom's maiden name
15:06I'm just confused, though
15:09George Santos threw a Christmas party?
15:11I'm starting to think this guy's lying
15:13About being Jewish
15:14But the only thing I enjoy more
15:18Than Christmas parties
15:18Are Christmas movies
15:20Especially ones that I star in
15:22And even though this year
15:24The Christmas spirit
15:25Might be dulled by our political divisions
15:27One holiday movie shows
15:28That there's still a way
15:30To bring people together
15:31Roll it
15:33This holiday season
15:35She ran an anonymous resistance account
15:38With a million followers
15:39Looks like Taco Trump
15:41Just folded like a cheap gordita
15:43He was her anonymous MAGA arch rival
15:47At X-mas Mom Defiant
15:49That's Daddy Trump to you
15:51And he will spank America great again
15:54Their online war was raging
15:56Until one December
15:59They met IRL
16:01Oh, I am so sorry
16:03I'm sorry
16:04Do you want to do Christmas stuff?
16:10Now they'll get to see
16:11Hey at Reindeer Turd 3
16:14You're dumber than that worm in RFK's brain
16:16Yo, X-mas Mom Defiant
16:18If we ever meet, I'll spit in your face
16:21That's sometimes the one you hate
16:22I will piss on your vaccinated grave
16:24BTW, your mom gives more free rides
16:26Than a Mom Donny does
16:27Here's Santa Trump
16:28Dropping shit on you from his sleigh
16:29Cry more, bitch
16:31Just might be the one
16:33He's fun
16:34He's handsome
16:35I really think this is it
16:38Is this too much of Clinton's
16:42On Trump's face
16:43I like it
16:44She's fun
16:45She gets me
16:46Grok
16:47Do you think she's the one?
16:49I am Mecca Hitler
16:49The globalist Jews are conspiring
16:52To take over the world
16:52Yeah, yeah, yeah
16:54But they're going to find out
16:56Oh, jeez
16:57If love trumps hate
17:00Wait, you're Reindeer Turd 3?
17:02You're X-mas Mom Defiant?
17:04You called me Elon's throat goat
17:06You had me swatted
17:08You got me fired from my teaching job
17:10Oh, cry more, bitch
17:12I guess you don't care about facts
17:14Or my feelings
17:16Nobody's perfect
17:22Except Pete Buttigieg
17:24Sometimes, all love needs
17:26Is a Christmas miracle
17:28The Democrats caved again
17:31Ha, Democrats caved again
17:34Chuck Schumer is
17:38Chuck Schumer is pathetic
17:39Wait, we agree?
17:45This holiday season
17:46I didn't know you hated Chuck Schumer
17:49Everyone hates Chuck Schumer
17:50I know why
17:52It's because he's Jewish
17:53Not now, Grok
17:55Oh, trolley night
17:57Woo!
18:00Huh?
18:01When we come back
18:02Lonnie Thompson will be joining me on the show
18:03Don't Go Away
18:04Welcome back to The Daily Show
18:20My guest tonight is a paleoclimatologist
18:23Whose pioneering research
18:24Collecting ice cores
18:26To study climate change
18:27Is featured in the documentary
18:29Canary
18:30Going to the summit
18:31Going to the summit
18:31There was melting taking place
18:35At highest point on the glacier
18:36Water was actually present up there
18:40That is death to a glacier
18:43You take a remote place like this
18:48And it's being impacted dramatically
18:51By rising temperatures
18:53We had a real problem
18:59To deal with on this planet
19:00We had a real problem to deal with on this planet
19:00Please welcome Lonnie Thompson
19:08Thank you for coming and thank you for all the work you've done
19:19Thank you for coming and thank you for all the work you've done
19:33Thank you for man that doesn't seem easy what you've been doing your whole professional career
19:39You've been studying ice cores in the tropical regions glaciers
19:47That's right
19:48Is that right
19:48You got it
19:49What is an ice core
19:50Look Lonnie
19:52I know
19:53They don't know
19:56What's an ice core
19:58An ice core is a cylinder of ice
20:01They're about four inches in diameter
20:04And we drill them
20:07We use a drill just like you would drilling for oil
20:09You go down
20:10You bring up a core
20:11And you can drill 100 and 200 feet
20:17Or you can drill three miles in Antarctica
20:19Where we have lots of ice
20:21So what does that cylinder tell you?
20:25Ice is amazing
20:26I can say that
20:27Is it?
20:27I spent my life studying this stuff
20:30Ice tells us not just climate
20:34Things like temperature from the isotopes in the ice
20:37And precipitation by the annual layer thickness
20:40It also tells us volcanic eruptions
20:44Things that can change climate
20:45We can look at changes in the output of the sun
20:48Through cosmogenic nuclides
20:50Meaning in those years
20:52So you can go all the way down to this glacier
20:55And know what it was like a thousand years ago
20:58We have records from Antarctica
21:00That would go back over 800,000
21:02Get the f*** out of here
21:03What did you guys do at your job today, huh?
21:08Fill out a little Microsoft Excel sheet?
21:11So we know the temperature
21:13We know if it rained that year
21:15And we also know the composition of the atmosphere
21:19And the bubbles trapped in the ice
21:21Wow
21:21So we can look at CO2 and methane
21:23Those things we're concerned about today
21:25What's the natural?
21:27And where are we today?
21:28Right, I was going to say
21:29So knowing that history then allows us to analyze where we are today
21:34That is the purpose
21:35And we'll get to that in a second
21:37And the movie's called Canary
21:38And it is a beautiful documentary of your life's work
21:41And if this even intrigues you at all
21:43What he's saying
21:44Check out the film
21:45It's available actually for free now on YouTube
21:48For a few weeks
21:49Which they're doing for us
21:50And for our audience
21:51To watch it with your family over the holidays
21:53You can't just fly 20,000 feet
22:03To a glacier with a six-ton drill
22:06Am I right?
22:08Yeah, absolutely
22:08So how do you get all this stuff up there?
22:11Well, first of all
22:11You have to have lots of good people to work with
22:15Right
22:15Can't do it alone
22:16Right
22:16So this is a team effort
22:18Okay
22:18And you have to have lightweight equipment
22:22And we're very fortunate to live in this age
22:25Where you have Kevlar cable
22:27And you have Teflon
22:29And you have all of these things
22:31That allow us to do these
22:32So it has to be lightweight, portable
22:34But you still, in total, weigh six tons
22:37Yeah
22:38And you've got to get it up there and assemble it
22:40So, yeah, a great team effort
22:41I mean, you were
22:42Yeah, this is you carrying
22:44Tools up there
22:47At one point
22:48You were like, oh, we'll take a helicopter
22:50The helicopter pilot's like, fuck you
22:52I'm not doing that
22:53That's exactly what happened
22:54I'm serious
22:56And one of the things I loved about this story
23:01Was you kept being faced with more no's
23:05With more, you can't do that
23:06The helicopter won't take you
23:08And you just kept figuring out a way to do it
23:10Not only that
23:11You had a heart transplant
23:14I mean, you still hold the record
23:16For the highest elevation
23:19That a person's been at
23:20With a heart transplant
23:22At 20,000 feet
23:2322,000 feet
23:2422,000 feet
23:24I mean
23:25You went
23:27Yeah, meanwhile
23:29His doctor's like, hey
23:31Can you not
23:31You know
23:31Meanwhile, you went on six more expeditions
23:34With this heart
23:35Nine now
23:36Nine now
23:37I don't mean to be crude
23:41But I, you know
23:42It feels like you were willing to die for this work
23:45No
23:46Okay
23:47I would say that
23:48I'm very fortunate
23:53That I am 77 years old
23:56Right
23:56But my heart is 34
23:58That's great
23:59Yeah
23:59I mean
24:00We live in an amazing time
24:02In human history
24:03That this is possible
24:05Yeah
24:06Yeah
24:06Let's talk about
24:09Where you're from
24:10You're from West Virginia
24:11Yeah
24:12Cold country
24:13Absolutely
24:14You said
24:14You had teachers tell you
24:16Growing up
24:17Don't dream too big
24:18Because you probably won't get there
24:20And here you are right now
24:23And
24:24Did that motivate you?
24:26What do you have to say to kids
24:27That are hearing similar things
24:28Where they're from?
24:31It's very important to
24:33Listen
24:34To advice
24:35But
24:36At the end of the day
24:38You've got to look at yourself
24:40Find out where your limits are
24:41We all have limits
24:43Right
24:43But we have to find those
24:45And
24:46So for them
24:47You know
24:48If you've got a dream
24:49Go after it
24:50If you have a passion
24:51Go after it
24:52Yeah
24:52Because you can change the world
24:54Yeah
24:54Well let's talk about that
24:56Because you're very open
24:57In the movie about
24:58You collected all this data
25:00Around the world
25:01It's very clear
25:03Right?
25:04I mean
25:05Absolutely
25:05The more greenhouse gas
25:07We emit
25:07The more glaciers
25:09Are going to
25:09Resede and melt
25:10Absolutely
25:11And you released all this
25:12And data
25:13Went to Congress
25:14And
25:16Where are we at?
25:17Well
25:18We have made
25:20Sometimes
25:21I go
25:22Back and forth
25:23On where we're at
25:24Yeah
25:24But
25:25We have made progress
25:26Yeah
25:27It is much better today
25:28No one
25:29Denies climate change
25:31Yeah
25:31Because it's in your face
25:32Yeah
25:33It's happening everywhere
25:34Yeah
25:34And I found
25:36In drilling
25:37In 16 different countries
25:38Around the world
25:39Far more
25:40Good people
25:41On this planet
25:42Wanting to do the right thing
25:43Trying to do the right thing
25:44And if we all
25:46Those good people
25:47Do the right thing
25:47We change the world
25:48Right
25:49And it's hard to measure
25:51Awareness
25:52But
25:53The fact that
25:54Climate change
25:54Is even
25:55In our vernacular
25:57We're not doing enough
25:58We're not fixing the problem
25:59Is it
25:59Can you get frustrated
26:00By that?
26:01I mean
26:01Here you are lugging a six ton drill
26:03On the top
26:04Of a glacier
26:05To get information
26:07To help fix and solve
26:08Climate change
26:09And yet
26:10We haven't fixed it
26:11We haven't fixed it
26:13And I have to give my daughter
26:15Credit for
26:16Canary
26:16Yeah
26:17But she told me
26:18A decade ago
26:20She said
26:20Dad
26:20One more ice core
26:21You're not going to change the world
26:23You're going to have to reach
26:25Thousands to millions of people
26:26Mm-hmm
26:27And I want to give credit to
26:29Danny O'Malley
26:30And Alex Rivest
26:32Adam Smith
26:33Producers of the film
26:35Yeah
26:36I don't think we could have found
26:37Better producers
26:38To tell the story
26:39Well and I love that
26:41These film producers
26:41Are picking
26:43Scientists
26:44To showcase
26:45Right?
26:46I mean
26:46Why not make science
26:47And environmentalists
26:49Heroes of stories
26:50And I think it's amazing
26:52That they've done that
26:53And so
26:53Go ahead
26:54Yeah I would say that
26:56Telling the true story
26:58Of scientists
26:59Yeah
26:59And getting the truth out
27:01Is a way to inspire
27:03The next generation
27:04Of young people
27:05Yeah
27:05It's also interesting
27:06That your daughter
27:07Younger generation
27:08Was basically saying
27:09Hey you got to get on
27:10TikTok dad
27:11But your daughter
27:13Did say this
27:14Which I loved
27:15The change won't happen
27:17With one person
27:18But it also can't happen
27:19Without one person
27:21It can't happen
27:22Without you
27:23It can't happen
27:23Without me
27:24It can't happen
27:24Without every country
27:25That's what it takes
27:27Understanding that
27:28You do matter
27:29Every person matters
27:30Can we globally
27:32Do this?
27:33Yes
27:34Absolutely
27:35I take a lot of solace
27:41In the fact that
27:42Our research teams
27:43Are made up of
27:44Russians
27:45Chinese
27:46Americans
27:48South Americans
27:49Tibetans
27:50And we can go
27:51To 22,000 feet
27:53And we can work together
27:54To accomplish a mission
27:56And so for climate change
27:57We don't have to have
27:59The same cultures
28:00The same religions
28:01Right
28:01The same belief systems
28:02We just have to tackle
28:05A common problem
28:06Right
28:06And I believe we will
28:08I mean
28:09We did get ourselves here
28:13Right
28:14Humans made the problem
28:15We did it
28:16So we might be able
28:17To fix it
28:18We should be able
28:19To fix it
28:20Is that naive of me?
28:22Maybe a little bit
28:22No
28:23No
28:23Let's talk more about ICE
28:26Why is ICE so cool?
28:28Like
28:29I don't know
28:30Why
28:30I mean
28:31I see these ICE cores
28:33And I go
28:34I don't understand
28:35How you can really tell
28:37The temperature
28:37750 years ago
28:39First of all
28:41In the upper parts
28:42Of these cores
28:42They're annually
28:43Dated
28:44They're like a tree
28:45You get winter snow
28:47Isotopes depleted
28:48Summer snow
28:49They're enriched
28:50Like a tree
28:51You count back in time
28:52If you're in the tropics
28:54You got a wet season
28:55Dry season
28:55Dry season
28:56There's a dust layer
28:57Count those
28:58You can go back
28:59Through our
29:00Our history
29:01We can go back
29:02Through previous cultures
29:04Like the Tiwanaku
29:05The Waris
29:07We had no written language
29:09But the ICE
29:10Was recording
29:11Every year
29:12Through their rise
29:13And their fall
29:13That's beautiful
29:14And there
29:14It might be
29:15Your wife in the film
29:16Says
29:17And your wife is
29:18Your wife is someone
29:19You work with as well
29:20Right?
29:21Absolutely
29:21Yeah
29:22And she said
29:22It might have been her
29:23But someone said
29:24That you wanted
29:26To tell the glacier story
29:27We want to let the glaciers
29:29Tell their story
29:30That's what I meant
29:31Yeah
29:31The glaciers
29:34Tell their story
29:35Yes
29:35The beauty of ICE
29:37And glaciers
29:37Is to me
29:39They're my truth serum
29:40Okay
29:41They have no political agenda
29:42Right
29:43No lobbyists
29:44Are going to get to them
29:44No special interest groups
29:47Right
29:47They're just summing up
29:48Temperature, precipitation
29:50Cloudiness
29:51Radiation
29:51And reacting
29:52And in today's world
29:54They're all retreating
29:55Right
29:56Because the world
29:56Is getting warmer
29:57Right
29:57It's a very clear story
29:59And of course
30:00Ice melts
30:01When it gets warm
30:02Yeah
30:03And disappears
30:04And where does that water go?
30:06Into the oceans
30:06Right
30:07And therefore
30:08Sea level is rising
30:09Around the world
30:10Yeah
30:10That and thermal expansion
30:11Of the ocean
30:12Because the oceans
30:13Are getting warmer
30:13Right
30:14So that's
30:14And maybe
30:15That's clear to someone
30:16Like you
30:17But maybe
30:17For a dumb TV host
30:19Like me
30:19When the glaciers melt
30:21Other really bad shit
30:24Happens
30:24Around the world
30:25Right
30:26Absolutely
30:27This isn't just
30:28If you live beneath the mountain
30:30Yeah
30:31This isn't
30:31This is for all of us
30:33This is for all of us
30:34Yeah
30:34And we're all going to be affected
30:35Yes
30:36We're all going to be affected
30:37As someone who's devoted
30:40Your life to science
30:41And I
30:42I love the movie Canary
30:44Please watch it
30:45It's great
30:45You can watch it
30:46All ages
30:47It's great to watch it
30:48With kids
30:48Because they're going to go
30:49What's that?
30:49That's a drill
30:50You should be a scientist
30:51Why is science important to you?
30:56What does it mean to you?
30:58Science
30:58I know it's a broad question
30:59But I thought you'd have a thought
31:01Well, I think science
31:03I mean, you look at our history
31:04You look at our vaccines for polio
31:08You look at our web telescope
31:10We can see galaxies
31:12Outside of our galaxy
31:13I mean, science allows us
31:15To see the future
31:18It gives us hope for the future
31:20That we can make a difference
31:23We can change things
31:25Yeah
31:25We just have to go after it
31:27You know, it's
31:28You don't know what's possible
31:31Until you try
31:33And if we try
31:35We advance
31:36And we've made tremendous advances
31:38In science
31:40And it's good for all of humanity
31:43Yeah
31:43Is that what you told the helicopter pilot?
31:47Hey, we don't know
31:48Until we try, buddy
31:49Let's go
31:49Canary is available on YouTube
31:52For free to promote science
31:54And adventure over the holidays
31:55Lonnie Thompson
31:56We'll take a quick break
31:57We'll come right back after this
31:58Thank you for talking with us
32:00That's the show for tonight
32:13And for 2025
32:14Have a safe and happy holiday
32:16See you in January
32:17Now here it is
32:18Your moment of zen
32:19So we're into 6G now
32:21I just
32:23I was a leader on 5G
32:25Getting that done
32:26And now they're up to 6
32:29Let's do it again
32:29So 6 is coming, huh?
32:31It's coming
32:32Does it ever end?
32:33And what happens?
32:34You'll be into 7
32:35Right?
32:36Before 6 gets old
32:37You'll be into 7
32:38Anybody have anything else to say?
32:42Sorry
32:43You'll be into 7
