[cheering, applause] 19 00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:15,575 Its changing its pronouns. 20 00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:19,179 The iconic I Love New York logo is getting a makeover. 21 00:01:19,179 --> 00:01:21,381 The new campaign, We Love New York City, 22 00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:23,216 launched by officials to help the city 23 00:01:23,216 --> 00:01:24,451 rebound from the pandemic. 24 00:01:24,451 --> 00:01:26,219 Designers keeping the big red heart, 25 00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:28,054 but switching up the font a little bit. 26 00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:30,824 Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul on hand in Times Square 27 00:01:30,824 --> 00:01:32,992 to unveil the new logo with the help of Broadway 28 00:01:32,992 --> 00:01:34,661 stars and community leaders. 29 00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:38,898 No one will ever beat New Yorkers down. 30 00:01:38,898 --> 00:01:43,236 And we took the I out of I Love New York, 31 00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:44,871 and we brought the we. 32 00:01:44,871 --> 00:01:47,740 We're in this together. 33 00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:50,543 That's right. 34 00:01:50,543 --> 00:01:56,082 It's not I anymore, it's we, as in we can't afford rent. 35 00:01:56,082 --> 00:02:03,089 [cheering, applause] 36 00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:09,395 Or we just got pushed in front of the subway. 37 00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:16,069 Or-- or we just pushed someone in front of the subway. 38 00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:18,571 But if you're wondering how they 39 00:02:18,571 --> 00:02:21,508 got this incredible new slogan, I 40 00:02:21,508 --> 00:02:25,645 actually have some of the-- some of the runners up here. 41 00:02:25,645 --> 00:02:27,146 Let's see. 42 00:02:27,146 --> 00:02:33,520 Some of the other options were We Love Jew York. 43 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,622 OK. 44 00:02:35,622 --> 00:02:41,561 Jew York, Jew York. 45 00:02:41,561 --> 00:02:47,267 Start Spreading the Jews. 46 00:02:47,267 --> 00:02:50,503 And then they told Kanye to leave the meeting. 47 00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:54,774 And that's when-- that's when they settled 48 00:02:54,774 --> 00:02:58,044 on We Love New York City. 49 00:02:58,044 --> 00:03:02,515 Now, let's move on to a story that's very sad for those 50 00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:04,317 of us who love Fox News. 51 00:03:04,317 --> 00:03:09,155 Because it turns out that a producer for Tucker Carlson 52 00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:11,925 is suing the network, saying that 53 00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:15,895 the network pressured her to lie in the Dominion 54 00:03:15,895 --> 00:03:17,664 voting machines lawsuit. 55 00:03:17,664 --> 00:03:20,867 And I actually wasn't surprised about this at all. 56 00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:25,038 Because all the way back, 20 years ago, 57 00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:28,708 I wrote a book about Fox News called Lies and the Lying 58 00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:35,615 Liars Who Tell Them. 59 00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:37,884 Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, a Fair and Balanced 60 00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:39,118 Look at the Right. 61 00:03:39,118 --> 00:03:43,556 And, in fact, I wanted to treat you guys tonight. 62 00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:47,026 So look-- all of you look under your seats, 63 00:03:47,026 --> 00:03:48,995 and you'll find directions to a local 64 00:03:48,995 --> 00:03:51,931 bookstore where you can buy-- 65 00:03:51,931 --> 00:03:56,803 you can buy Lies for $29.99. 66 00:03:56,803 --> 00:03:57,804 OK. 67 00:03:57,804 --> 00:04:00,239 Let's move on to international news. 68 00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:04,143 This week, Vladimir Putin is hosting Chinese President . 69 00:04:04,143 --> 00:04:08,881 Xi Jinping for a three day summit in Moscow. 70 00:04:08,881 --> 00:04:11,918 And a lot of people are upset with Xi 71 00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:15,688 for cozying up to Putin after he's become 72 00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:17,156 an international pariah. 73 00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:18,958 But you know what? 74 00:04:18,958 --> 00:04:22,495 I think that is exactly the time when you really 75 00:04:22,495 --> 00:04:27,033 find out who your friends are. 76 00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:30,236 We should all be so lucky to have a friend like President 77 00:04:30,236 --> 00:04:35,441 Xi, who doesn't judge us for every little crime 78 00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:39,979 against humanity. 79 00:04:39,979 --> 00:04:44,017 In other overseas news, there was a big win 80 00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:46,786 for workers in France, who will now 81 00:04:46,786 --> 00:04:50,623 get to work longer than ever. 82 00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:54,427 Despite weeks of protests from lazy French people 83 00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:56,329 who wanted-- 84 00:04:56,329 --> 00:04:59,165 who wanted to keep the retirement age at 62, 85 00:04:59,165 --> 00:05:03,703 the government has now raised the age at which workers can 86 00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:06,973 retire with a pension to 64. 87 00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:09,942 And this is terrible news because is leading 88 00:05:09,942 --> 00:05:11,444 to a revolution in France. 89 00:05:11,444 --> 00:05:15,081 And last time that happened, we all had to listen to Russell 90 00:05:15,081 --> 00:05:18,918 Crowe sing show tunes. 91 00:05:18,918 --> 00:05:23,690 So fix this right now, France. 92 00:05:23,690 --> 00:05:25,858 And I'm sorry, but I have no patience 93 00:05:25,858 --> 00:05:30,496 for people who need to stop working in their early 60s. 94 00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:32,565 I'm 71, and I'm working. 95 00:05:32,565 --> 00:05:38,337 [cheering, applause] 96 00:05:38,337 --> 00:05:41,374 And I haven't lost a-- 97 00:05:41,374 --> 00:05:44,243 a step beat. 98 00:05:44,243 --> 00:05:48,481 I'm as sharp as I was when I started on, 99 00:05:48,481 --> 00:05:51,217 uh, Saturday Night Live. 100 00:05:51,217 --> 00:05:52,218 Saturday Night Live. 101 00:05:52,218 --> 00:05:54,754 I haven't lost a step since then, 102 00:05:54,754 --> 00:06:00,626 and that was back in 1975, nearly 20-- 103 00:06:00,626 --> 00:06:02,929 40-- a long-- 104 00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:04,964 decades. 105 00:06:04,964 --> 00:06:08,668 But let's-- let's get to the story today that makes-- 106 00:06:08,668 --> 00:06:14,107 [cheering, applause] 107 00:06:14,107 --> 00:06:17,844 Let's-- let's get to the story today that makes all the other 108 00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:19,212 stories kind of pointless. 109 00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:24,183 According to the UN, we're all going to die. 110 00:06:24,183 --> 00:06:27,053 Just in to CNN, a dire warning about the state 111 00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:28,421 of the planet. 112 00:06:28,421 --> 00:06:32,191 The new UN report warns the climate timebomb is ticking 113 00:06:32,191 --> 00:06:34,727 and the world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe. 114 00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:37,296 This report tells us we need a quantum 115 00:06:37,296 --> 00:06:38,898 leap in climate action. 116 00:06:38,898 --> 00:06:40,833 And every country in the world has 117 00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:42,869 to reduce emissions at warp speed 118 00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:44,637 to try to curb the warming of our planet. 119 00:06:44,637 --> 00:06:46,773 We are nowhere close to making that Paris Agreement 120 00:06:46,773 --> 00:06:49,342 goal of curbing warming to 1.5 degrees 121 00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:51,177 Celsius from pre-industrial levels. 122 00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:53,112 To accomplish all of it, developed 123 00:06:53,112 --> 00:06:54,914 and the richest nations in the world 124 00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:57,884 would need to reach net zero by 2040. 125 00:06:57,884 --> 00:07:00,920 That is going to be nearly impossible. 126 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,921 Wow. 127 00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:03,723 That's awful. 128 00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:07,293 But I guess a shout out to my baby boomers. 129 00:07:07,293 --> 00:07:10,263 Feels like we got the last chopper out of Saigon, 130 00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:14,100 doesn't it? 131 00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:19,071 And that's a reference we baby boomers understand. 132 00:07:19,071 --> 00:07:23,042 Now, part of the problem is the UN's expectation 133 00:07:23,042 --> 00:07:24,844 of collective action. 134 00:07:24,844 --> 00:07:28,014 It's just easy to shirk your part 135 00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:29,749 when everybody has to chip in. 136 00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:34,086 So the solution here is to call out people individually. 137 00:07:34,086 --> 00:07:37,490 The next UN report shouldn't say we 138 00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:39,425 all must lower our emissions. 139 00:07:39,425 --> 00:07:42,428 It should say, Gary, stop driving your car so much. 140 00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:44,864 You don't-- you don't need to visit 141 00:07:44,864 --> 00:07:46,432 your wife's grave every day. 142 00:07:46,432 --> 00:07:52,505 She's not keeping track. 143 00:07:52,505 --> 00:07:56,375 The fact is, on our current path 144 00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:58,544 we're in for a grim future. 145 00:07:58,544 --> 00:08:01,547 And to find out just how grim, let's 146 00:08:01,547 --> 00:08:06,185 go to the future to talk to Desi Lydic. 147 00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:12,391 [cheering, applause] 148 00:08:13,392 --> 00:08:14,493 Hi, Al. 149 00:08:14,493 --> 00:08:18,030 Yes, I am reporting from the year 2075. 150 00:08:18,030 --> 00:08:19,098 Can you believe it? 151 00:08:19,098 --> 00:08:20,833 This face is 93. 152 00:08:20,833 -->

--> 00:08:33,913 Climate crisis? 156 00:08:33,913 --> 00:08:35,715 We solved that years ago. 157 00:08:35,715 --> 00:08:41,120 Look, the entire world looks like a Lisa Frank folder. 158 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,355 Well, hold on. 159 00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:44,423 We fixed climate change? 160 00:08:44,423 --> 00:08:46,292 How did-- how did that happen? 161 00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:49,528 Well, it started when the UN issued its report on March 20, 162 00:08:49,528 --> 00:08:53,266 2023, warning that we had to radically reduce 163 00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:55,301 carbon emissions by 2040. 164 00:08:55,301 --> 00:08:58,437 So we read the report, and we made all the changes 165 00:08:58,437 --> 00:08:59,839 and saved the world. 166 00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,374 Back to you, Al. 167 00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:02,475 Wait. 168 00:09:02,475 --> 00:09:03,643 Wait, Desi. 169 00:09:03,643 --> 00:09:05,912 You're talking about the report from yesterday. 170 00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:06,913

174 00:09:14,186 --> 00:09:18,324 Why wouldn't we? 175 00:09:18,324 --> 00:09:21,260 Well, wasn't doing all that really expensive? 176 00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:22,261 Oh, yeah. 177 00:09:22,261 --> 00:09:23,596 It definitely was. 178 00:09:23,596 --> 00:09:26,465 But the alternative was the destruction of the planet. 179 00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:31,570 So, of course, we just spent the money, obviously. 180 00:09:31,570 --> 00:09:33,806 Back to you, Al. 181 00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:34,907 I can't believe it. 182 00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:37,376 Everything sounds so great in the future. 183
