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...
06:54ethnic?
06:55He's ordering every U.S. diplomat worldwide
06:58to stop immediately using that
07:00c-c-c-c-c-cilibre?
07:02Calibri?
07:03C-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-cale-bru-
07:11nh-ck-bar?
07:12Whatever happened to good old
07:16American font names like Kyle
07:18Or Chad
07:19Look
07:22Let's not forget about the real
07:24Victim in all this
07:25Of course I'm talking about the man
07:28Who designed the Calibri font
07:30And before I show you who that is
07:32Just take a moment to picture
07:34In your mind what this professional
07:36Font designer might look like
07:38Because you're correct
07:40Joining me now
07:41Luke DeGroote the designer who created
07:44The Calibri font really appreciate
07:46You joining us today
07:47I mean
07:51Has anyone in history ever been
07:54More font designer than this guy
07:56He only had
07:58Two options in his life this or killing
08:00James Bond
08:01He looks like a guy
08:04Who I would listen to while stroking my chin
08:06And then when he walked away I go
08:08I have no 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
08:22Made out of train tracks
08:24Did he just
08:24Is this like a new letter?
08:26You can see why this man makes the medium bucks
08:31Huh
08:32Honestly 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
08:40Let'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
08:52Is 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-ho-ho-ho-ho
09:08Shit
09:09Shit
09:11Damn
09:13What?
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 an aerial
09:30Bold
09:30Oh
09:31Boom
09:33For more on the culture war over fonts
09:35Let's go live to Washington
09:37With Ronnie Chang
09:38This is good Ronnie
09:40Thank you
09:42Ronnie
09:43Isn't it silly
09:45To say a font is D-E-I
09:48Oh
09:48I'm sorry Costa
09:50Are you speaking in Comic Sans right now?
09:53Because you sound like a f***ing joke
09:55Look
09:57Americans voted for change
09:59And by change
10:00They meant fonts
10:02Okay
10:03Trump officials know that fonts
10:04Are how the woke mind virus
10:06Sneaks into your eyes
10:07And they're doing something about it
10:10Ronnie
10:10No one cares about fonts
10:12And for what it's worth
10:13Calibri's
10:14It's just easier to read
10:15Uh
10:16I don't care
10:17Calibri's just easier to read
10:18It's
10:19It's less harsh on my
10:20Better cocked retinas
10:22Well
10:22Hey
10:23Maybe stop skipping eye day
10:24At the gym bro
10:25So you're telling me
10:28If I don't want to be woke
10:29I have to use
10:30Times New Roman
10:31No
10:32That's even more woke
10:34Even the name
10:35Times New Roman
10:36As in
10:38I'm just roaming the bathhouses
10:40For gay sex
10:41I don't think so
10:43I'm pretty sure that's not
10:45What it's short for
10:46But fine
10:46Okay
10:47Which fonts are not woke?
10:50Look
10:50Not a lot
10:51Okay
10:51It's basically
10:53Just the Metallica font
10:54And maybe
10:56The Goosebumps font
10:57But
10:57But that's why
10:59The Trump administration
11:00Is hard at work
11:01Designing brand new fonts
11:02Here at the
11:03Maga Font Laboratory
11:05The Maga Font Laboratory?
11:08Yeah
11:08Yeah
11:09It used to be
11:09A research facility
11:11To combat childhood diabetes
11:12But uh
11:13RFK Jr.
11:15Gave all the fat kids
11:16Raw milk
11:17And sent them home
11:17So
11:18So now
11:20They're using this facility
11:22For actual good
11:24Okay
11:24By creating
11:25The most alpha
11:27Unwocus typefaces
11:29You've ever seen
11:30Check this one out Kosta
11:32It's the America rules font
11:34Do you see this?
11:38It's
11:38It's pretty much
11:40The Sopranos font
11:41But
11:41Even more letters
11:43Are guns
11:44And guns are cool
11:47Therefore
11:48This font is cool
11:49You scared Kosta?
11:51No
11:51No
11:52It's just hard to read though
11:54Yeah
11:54That's the point
11:55They want things
11:57To be harder to read
11:58Okay
11:58Reading is how liberals
11:59Indulctrinate children
12:01Remember that book?
12:03Curious George?
12:06What's he so curious about Kosta?
12:08Islam?
12:11I don't wanna know
12:13Which is why
12:14We got another font
12:16That's even harder to read
12:18And we're calling it
12:19MAGA warrior
12:20Okay
12:20Every capital letter
12:24Is a confederate monument
12:26Except the W's
12:30Which are boobs
12:31Now imagine getting
12:34An official memo
12:36With that Kosta
12:37You probably shit your pants
12:40Ronnie
12:40Ronnie
12:41Ronnie
12:41This is insane
12:42These are all offensive
12:44And they're just
12:45Offensive for the sake
12:46Of being offensive
12:47Why does this administration
12:48Always have to act
12:49Like such aggro bros?
12:51Because America
12:52Needs to project strength
12:54Like with this font
12:56Called
12:56F*** you bro
12:57All
12:58All the letters
13:01Are just middle fingers
13:03Okay
13:03You see how much better
13:05It makes this
13:06Maya Angelou poem
13:07No
13:07Okay
13:08This isn't even
13:10Writing anymore
13:11Why can't you guys
13:12Just settle on
13:13A plain neutral font
13:14Like Courier
13:15Oh Courier
13:16As in
13:17Send a courier
13:18To the bathhouse
13:19To pick up
13:20Some Lizzo posters
13:21No thanks Kosta
13:23You see
13:24What these fonts
13:25Represent
13:25Oh
13:27Oh no
13:28Oh no
13:29I'm being told
13:30One of the experimental fonts
13:32Got out
13:33And this one's just
13:34A gorilla with a rocket launcher
13:35Okay
13:36So I
13:36I gotta get out of here
13:37Just follow the exit signs
13:39I can't
13:40All the signs
13:41Are just middle fingers
13:42I mean
13:44It's so cool
13:45But where do I go
13:46Where do I go
13:47Where do I go
13:48Where do I go
13:49He'll be alright
13:55Ronnie Chang everyone
13:56When we come back
13:57We get a sneak peek
13:58At the best Christmas movie
14:00You'll see this year
14:01Don't go away
14:02Ronnie
14:02Welcome back to the Daily Show
14:23Well
14:23It happened again
14:25I wasn't invited
14:27To the Obama's Christmas party
14:29But it's fine
14:29I'm used to it by now
14:30But there is one Christmas party
14:32This year
14:33That I would have loved to attend
14:35George Santos
14:36Hosted his inaugural Christmas party
14:38On Tuesday night
14:39I'm very excited
14:40To be celebrating
14:41With close friends
14:42Supporters
14:43And all people
14:44Who really stuck by me
14:46The guest list included
14:47Convicted socialite
14:48Anna Delvey
14:49And disgraced pharma exec
14:51Martin Shkreli
14:52Wow
14:53George Santos
14:56Anna Delvey
14:57And 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
15:12This guy's lying
15:13About being Jewish
15:14But the only thing
15:17I enjoy more
15:18Than Christmas parties
15:18Are Christmas movies
15:20Especially ones
15:21That I star in
15:22And even though
15:23This year
15:24The Christmas spirit
15:25Might be dulled
15:25By our political divisions
15:27One holiday movie
15:28Shows that there's still
15:29A way
15:30To bring people together
15:31Roll it
15:33This holiday season
15:35She ran an anonymous
15:37Resistance account
15:38With a million followers
15:39Looks like Taco Trump
15:41Just folded like a cheap gordita
15:43He was her anonymous
15:45MAGA arch rival
15:47At X-mas mom defiant
15:49That's daddy Trump to you
15:51And he will spank
15:52America great again
15:54Their online war was raging
15:56Until 1 December
15:59They met IRL
16:02Oh I am so sorry
16:03Do 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
16:15In RFK's brain
16:16Yo X-mas mom defiant
16:18If we ever meet
16:19I'll spit in your face
16:21That's sometimes the one you hate
16:22I will piss on your vaccinated grave
16:24BTW
16:25Your mom gives more free rides
16:26Than a mom donna does
16:27Here's Santa Trump
16:28Dropping shit on you
16:29From his sled
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
16:47Grock
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
16:53But they're going to find out
16:56Oh jeez
16:57If love trumps hate
17:00Wait, you're reindeer turd 3?
17:03You'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
17:31Democrats caved again
17:34Chuck Schumer
17:37Chuck Schumer is pathetic
17:39Wait
17:43We agree
17:44This 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, Grock
17:55Oh, trolley night
17:57Woo!
18:00Huh?
18:00When we come back
18:02Lottie 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 collecting ice cores
18:26To study climate change
18:27Is featured in the documentary Canary
18:30Going to the summit
18:31There was melting taking place
18:35At the 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 to deal with on this planet
19:00Please welcome Lonnie Thompson
19:08Thank you
19:14Thank you
19:18Thank you
19:28Thank you for coming
19:30And thank you for all the work you've done
19:33Thank you for
19:34Man, it doesn't seem easy
19:36What you've been doing
19:37Your whole professional career
19:39You've been studying ice cores
19:43In the tropical regions glaciers
19:47That's right
19:48Is that right?
19:48You got it
19:49What is an ice core?
19:51Look, 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
20:04Yep
20:04And we drill them
20:07We use a drill
20:07Just like you would drilling for oil
20:09You go down
20:10You bring up a core
20:11And you can drill
20:13100 and 200 feet
20:17Or you can drill three miles
20:18In Antarctica
20:19Wow
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
20:37Okay
20:38And precipitation by the annual layer thickness
20:40It also tells us volcanic eruptions
20:44Things that can change climate
20:45Okay
20:46We 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
21:25Okay
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
21:33Today
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 to a glacier
22:04With 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
22:18And 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
22:49Oh, we'll take a helicopter
22:50The helicopter pilot's like
22:51F*** 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
23:06You 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
23:30Hey, can you not
23:31You know
23:32Meanwhile, 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
24:12Whole 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
24:22And here you are
24:23Right 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?
24:29It'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
24:41Right
24:42We 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
24:50You 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 we 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 denies climate change
25:31Yeah
25:31Because it's in your face
25:32Yeah
25:33It's happening everywhere
25:34Yeah
25:34And
25:34And I found
25:36In drilling in 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
25:53But the 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
25:59Can you get frustrated by that?
26:01I mean
26:01Here you are
26:02Lugging a six ton drill
26:03On the top
26:04Of a glacier
26:05To get information
26:07To help fix
26:08And solve climate 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 score
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
26:28To Danny 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?
26:51And 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
27:13Your daughter did 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
27:26That's what it takes
27:27Understanding that
27:28You do matter
27:29Every person matters
27:30Can we globally
27:32Do this?
27:33Yes
27:34Yes
27:34Absolutely
27:35I
27:35I take
27:37A lot of
27:39Solace
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
27:54Together
27:54To accomplish
27:55A mission
27:56And so for
27:57Climate change
27:57We don't have to
27:59Have the same cultures
28:00The same religions
28:01Right
28:01The same belief systems
28:02We just have to tackle
28:05We 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
28:18Correct
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
28:25About 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
28:37Tell the 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 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 every year
29:12Through their rise
29:13And their fall
29:13That's beautiful
29:14And there
29:14It might be your wife
29:16In 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 glaciers story
29:27I wanted to let
29:28The 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
29:40Sarah
29:40Okay
29:41They have no
29:42Political 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
30:30The mountain
30:30This isn't
30:31This is for all of us
30:33This is for all of us
30:34Yeah
30:34And we're all going
30:35To be affected
30:35Yes
30:36We're all going
30:37To be affected
30:37As someone who's devoted
30:40Your life to science
30:41And I 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
30:49To 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
31:00You'd have a thought
31:01Well I think science
31:03I mean
31:03You 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
31:37Tremendous advances
31:38In science
31:40And it's
31:41Good for all of humanity
31:43Yeah
31:43Is that what you told
31:45The helicopter pilot?
31:47Hey we don't know
31:48Until we try buddy
31:49Let's go
31:49Canary is available
31:52On YouTube
31:52For free
31:53To promote science
31:54And adventure
31:54Over the holidays
31:55Lonnie Thompson
31:56We'll take a quick break
31:57We'll come right back
31:58After this
31:58Thank you for talking
32:00With 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
32:25On 5G
32:25Getting that done
32:26And now they're
32:28Up to 6
32:29Let's do it again
32:29So 6 is coming
32:31Does it ever end
32:33And what happens
32:33You'll be into 7
32:35Before 6 gets old
32:37You'll be into 7
32:38Anybody have anything else
32:40To say
32:40Sorry
32:43You'll be into 7
