  • Whew!

  • We did it.

  • How do you think we did?

  • Well, we got to the end.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Yeah.

  • Well, I think-- how do you think I did?

  • How did you--

  • You sucked, are you kidding?

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • I what?

  • You sucked!

  • Aww.

  • You need hearing aids and glasses.

  • Half the time you couldn't see what was up there.

  • But before we go, there's one more thing

  • I want to talk about.

  • Like I said before--

  • Oh, I've had it.

  • That's enough for me.

  • Hey, what-- no, seriously.

  • Nothing feels better than to be part of a movement dealing

  • with the climate crisis.

  • And you can join one right now.

  • For the past four months, I've been in Washington, DC,

  • to bring awareness to the urgency of the climate crisis

  • and give people a way to mobilize and do

  • something about it.

  • Like the young activist Greta Thunberg says, the world

  • is on fire.

  • We have to behave like it's a crisis, because it is.

  • And that's why we started Fire Drill Fridays.

  • On Fridays, we rallied, we learned,

  • we marched and engaged in civil disobedience,

  • and risked arrest, including you.

  • But I sucked.

  • I didn't do a good job of it.

  • No, you didn't.

  • No, you didn't.

  • No, I didn't.

  • And here, we're doing our first Fire Drill

  • Friday in Los Angeles.

  • We've brought it to California, and we're bringing it

  • all around the country.

  • Friday, February 7th, at 11:00 on the Main Street side

  • of City Hall.

  • Please come join me.

  • [CHEERING]

  • [APPLAUSE]

  • And if you want-- wait a minute.

  • If you want to start one in your own city,

  • text JANE to 877877 you want to start one in your local place.

  • And you can also text Lily, but nothing will happen.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • The only thing that will make this work

  • is for American people to be mobilized, to rise up and make

  • themselves heard.

  • Please join us.

  • We need you.

  • And remember, deniers of climate crisis are part of the crisis!

  • [CHEERING]

  • Yes.

  • And thank you, Ellen.

  • Thank you, Ellen, for letting us host.

  • And thank you, to our wonderful guests.

  • And thank you to you, for taking the lead in this.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • Is that what I did?

  • I thought I was just kind of filling in for you.

  • [LAUGHTER]

  • See, look, you're supposed to say something now.

  • As Ellen always says, for gosh sakes, be kind to one another.

  • Bye!

  • [CHEERING]

Whew!
