( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )

>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!

HAPPY -- >> THANK YOU.

>> Stephen: HAPPY 2020, JANE FONDA.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

>> GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

>> Stephen: HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

DO YOU HAVE ANY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS?

>> REMEMBER WHEN I KISSED YOU?

>> Stephen: I DO REMEMBER.

MY WIFE REMEMBERS THAT, TOO, AND SHE STILL DOESN'T THINK IT'S

FUNNY.

>> HE USED TO BE THE SCARIEST PERSON TO BE INTERVIEWED

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE HAD THIS ALTER EGO CHARACTER, SO -- AND

THERE WAS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I WANTED TO TALK

ABOUT ON THE SHOW, AND, SO, I JUST FIGURED, WELL, I'LL JUST GO

OUT AND SIT IN HIS LAP AND KISS HIM, AND I DID.

>> Stephen: YOU STUCK YOUR TONGUE IN MY EAR.

>> I DID NOT!

>> Stephen: YOU DID!

( LAUGHTER ) YOU DID.

>> AND YOU WERE SO FLUSTERED THAT IT WAS AN EASY INTERVIEW.

>> Stephen: IT REALLY WAS.

I WAS LIKE JOHNNY CARSON WITH A SPIDER MONKEY ON HIS HEAD.

I DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, IT WAS AN HONOR.

ANYTIME, BY THE WAY.

( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERING )

I WANT TO TALK TO YOUN'T A SUBJECT NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR

HEART AND SHOULD BE TO ALL OUR HEARTS.

>> IT SHOULD.

>> Stephen: YOU STARTED THE "FIRE DRILL FRIDAYS" ABOUT

CLIMATE CHANGE.

TELL ME WHAT YOUR OBJECTIVE IS HERE.

>> WELL, HUMAN KIND IS FACING THE GREATEST CRISIS THAT WE'VE

EVER FACED, AND THERE WERE ALL THESE YOUNG STUDENTS THAT WERE

SACRIFICING A LOT AND WORKING SO HARD -- HI.

( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I'M INTERESTED.

I'M LEANING IN BECAUSE I'M INTERESTED.

( LAUGHTER ) >> AND I'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME,

NOW, WITH THESE YOUNG STUDENTS, AND THEY'RE SCARED, AND A LOT OF

YOUNG PEOPLE ARE EVEN SUFFERING FROM -- THEY'RE CALLING IT

EXTINCTION ILLNESS, AND I JUST FELT IT WASN'T DOING ENOUGH.

THE SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING WE HAVE TEN YEARS BEFORE IT'S GOING

TO SO FAR OVER THE CLIFF THAT THERE'S NO TURNING BACK.

THE ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE WILL UNRAVEL AND THERE'S NOTHING WE

CAN DO AND, SO, I SAID I'M GOING TO -- I'M FAMOUS, I HAVE A

PLATFORM, I'M GOING TO MOVE TO D.C., I'M GOING TO PUT MY BODY

ON THE LINE AND I'M GOING TO DO THESE THINGS IN THE PROCESS, I'M

GOING TO LEARN A LOT, TOO, AND THE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WITH

ME ALL THE WAY, AND IT'S INCREDIBLE WHAT'S HAPPENED.

>> Stephen: WELL, WHAT -- ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )

>> IT'S REALLY, PEOPLE ARE -- >> Stephen: HOW'S IT GOING?

EVERY FRIDAY, I THOUGHT IT WOULD KIND OF PETER OUT.

EVERY FRIDAY, THERE'S MORE AND MORE PEOPLE AND THEY COME FROM

ALL OVER, AND MOST OF THEM HAVE NEVER ENGAGED IN CIVIL

DISOBEDIENCE BEFORE AND RISKED GETTING ARRESTED.

>> Stephen: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BEEN ARRESTED SO FAR?

>> I THINK FIVE.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: IS THERE A POINT

AT WHICH THEY GIVE YOU A FREE SUB OR SOMETHING?

( LAUGHTER ) WHAT HAPPENS?

ARE THE POLICE DOWN THERE, ARE THEY FED UP WITH YOU LEADING

THESE PROTESTS?

>> THEY ACTUALLY -- LOOK, I'M WHITE, AND I'M FAMOUS.

>> Stephen: YEAH.

AND, SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT HAPPENS TO ME IS DIFFERENT THAN

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I WAS A PERSON OF COLOR AND I WASN'T

FAMOUS, AND WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING THERE?

>> Stephen: THESE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE PROTEST.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: THIS IS YOU AND SOME OF YOUR FELLOW PROTESTERS

INCLUDING GLORIA STEINEM RIGHT THERE.

>> YEAH ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )

OH, HERE'S A COOL STORY.

SO, ON MY 82nd BIRTHDAY, I THINK 143 PEOPLE CAME TO GET

ARRESTED, INCLUDING GLORIA AND DOLORES WERTA AND REVEREND

BARBER AND ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE.

AND, SO, WE'RE ALL HELD IN DETENTION IN HANDCUFFS, AND THIS

BLACK POLICE OFFICER, A WOMAN, SHE CAME OVER TO GLORIA --

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALL REQUIRED TO CARRY A COPY OF THE

CONSTITUTION IN THEIR POCKET -- AND SHE SAID, I'M PROBABLY GOING

TO GET FIRED FOR THIS, BUT WILL YOU SIGN MY CONSTITUTION?

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) SO THERE WAS GLORIA IN HANDCUFFS

SIGNING THE CONSTITUTION.

>> Stephen: THAT'S GREAT.

NOW, YOU GOT OUR FRIEND SAM WATERSTON IN TROUBLE, TOO.

SAM WATERSTON WAS ARRESTED AT ONE OF THESE.

>> SAM IS A SELF-DESCRIBED MODERATE --

>> Stephen: MM-HMM.

-- BUT HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THESE ARE TIMES THAT REQUIRER

THAT WE GO BEYOND OUR COMFORT ZONES, AND, SO, HE DID WITH ME,

HE GOT ARRESTED.

TWO WEEKS LATER, HE SENDS A PICTURE TO ME OF HIMSELF IN

HANDCUFFS DURING THE HALF TIME AT THE HARVARD-YALE GAME WHERE

THE STUDENTS WERE PROTESTING THE FACT UNIVERSITIES ARE INVESTING

IN FOSSIL FUEL.

HE GOT ARRESTED AGAIN AND SAID, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!

LOOK WHAT YOU STARTED!

>> Stephen: YOU'RE A BAD INFLUENCE!

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) YOU'RE A TROUBLEMAKER!

>> BUT OVER THE FOUR MONTHS, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DEEPLY

AFFECTED BY THIS, AND THEY DON'T WANT IT TO END, AND THEY WANT TO

KNOW IF THEY CAN START IT IN THEIR OWN TOWNS OR CITIES, AND,

SO, GREEN PEACE IS GOING TO TAKE IT, AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE IT

ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED --

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, TEXT JANE

TO 877-877, AND GREEN PEACE WILL GET BACK TO YOU AND HELP, AND WE

WILL HELP YOU.

BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL MAKE THIS WORK IS FOR THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BE EMPOWERED, ALL OF YOU.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WE WANT TO HELP YOU DO THIS.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HERE'S A SHOT.

HERE'S A SHOT OF YOU GETTING ARRESTED.

NOW, FOR -- ANY ADVICE FOR BEGINNERS ON -- BUT, SERIOUSLY,

IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE DETAINED, OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT BEING

ARRESTED FOR A VIOLENT CRIME OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

DO I NEED TO BRING SIMPLE THINGS, LIKE A POWER BAR OR

SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

>> NO, YOU CAN'T BRING ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

EVERYTHING GETS TAKEN AWAY.

SO YOU WEAR LAYERS OF CLOTHES IF IT'S WINTER, AND YOU MAY SPEND

THE NIGHT IN JAIL, YOU WANT A LOT OF LAYERS SO YOU CAN USE

THEM FOR PILLOWS AND THINGS.

OTHER THAN THAT, ALL YOU NEED IS A PHOTO I.D. THAT'S UP TO DATE

AND $50, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE $50, WE GIVE IT TO YOU.

WE DON'T DO CIVIL DIS OBEDIENCE AS A FIRST EFFORT, BUT WE HAVE

BEEN PETITIONING AND WRITING AND BEGGING THE GOVERNMENT, AND THEY

DON'T HEAR.

WE'VE USED EVERY LEVER OF DEMOCRACY AND, SO, WE HAVE TO

TAKE A STEP FURTHER AND THAT'S WHY WE ERENGAGING IN CIVIL

DISOBEDIENCE AND RISK GETTING ARRESTED.

THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY -- IT CHANGES YOU.

YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR -- YOU'RE ALIGNING YOUR BODY, YOUR WHOLE

SELF WITH YOUR VALUES AND YOU FEEL VERY INTEGRATED AND

EMPOWERED, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

>> Stephen: IT'S WHAT OUR GOOD FRIEND JOHN LEWIS CALLS GOOD

TROUBLE.

>> IT'S TROUBLE.

>> Stephen: THERE'S A LAST FIRE DRILL FRIDAY THAT'S THIS

FRIDAY.

>> JOAQUIN PHOENIX REACHED OUT AND HE'S COMING AND MAGGIE

GYLLENHAAL AND MARTIN SHEEHAN, HE'S BEEN ARRESTED 70 TIMES.

>> Stephen: SURE.

SURE.

SURE.

( LAUGHTER ) >> HE IS A WALKING EXAMPLE OF

BIG TROUBLE.

( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: NOW, SPEAKING OF

ALL YOUR FAMOUS FRIENDS, CONGRATULATIONS.

I KNOW THAT WE'RE IN SEASON SIX OF GRACE AND FRANKIE, RIGHT, ON

NETFLIX.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> YEAH.

>> Stephen: AND IT'S VERY SOON GOING TO BE THE LONGEST-RUNNING

SHOW ON NETFLIX.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: IT'S THE GUN SMOKE OF NETFLIX, AT THIS POINT.

WILL THERE BE A SEASON 7?

>> YEAH, WE START THE 27th OF JANUARY, AND IT'S GOING TO BE

LONGER.

IT WILL BE 16 EPISODES.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: SAY HI TO LILY.

IT WAS LOVELY TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, JANE.

THANK YOU WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( BAND PLAYING )

JANE FONDA, EVERYBODY!
