01:10

K: We believe that there is a significant number of Americans who really went into tonight's debate not knowing which one they would vote for, can you believe that?
F: I I don't I really don't, like I saw- I was watching CNN and they said oh we've got a panel we found many Americans. Like no you didn't you found six people who haven't decided yet. No I guess from what I read there are people who hadn't made up their minds because they didn't know enough about her and I think tonight we saw someone that has empathy, who cares about ordinary Americans, who talks about kitchen sink issues.
K: I I think she did well Fair, that's very fair but what about the pets that are being eaten in Springfield Ohio what's she going to do?
F: I understand that totally. It's why Trump hired Bobby Kennedy. He eats dead wild animals [OVERLAPPING] yes of course maybe RFK has been eating the pets of the neighborhood, going around to a lot of those wonderful States like Iowa and eating people's animals and blaming it on immigrants.
!!!

F: Maybe RFK has been eating the pets of the neighborhood, going around to a lot of those wonderful States like Iowa and eating people's animals and blaming it on immigrants.
K: I love this conspiracy theory.

!!!
K: I love this conspiracy theory totally. If you were a Republican, this would be all over Fox News right now, have you met the vice president
F: Yes we both spoke at the AFLCIO a couple of years ago and I met her and I I liked her very much.
K: Have you met Donald Trump?
F: I have mhm. I was married to Ted Turner and he was married to Marla Maples right. And he owned the Plaza Hotel at that time and I was doing something an interview or something. And he came and talked to me.
He promised he'd do something for an organization in Georgia that I started because he wanted to build a Trump Hotel in Atlanta. And I said well if you come there would you help me with this organization that helps teenagers? And he promised he would and nothing nothing nothing
!!!

What I didn't like about the debate is that it took an hour and a half to ask a question about climate

!!!
What I didn't like about the debate is that it took an hour and a half to ask a question about climate,
K: That is I know your your primary concern and a very valid concern
F: It should be all of our primary concerns. We are facing an historic catastrophe. I have to tell you, the thing that I think really puzzled me the most is that this is not something that's going- I mean of course disproportionately it will affect people who don't have money.
But this is going to affect everybody.
This is not something that anyone can dodge
And this is something that rich people, their grand kids- don't they care about that this is something that we all should be focused on as-
And here is the problem. So many elected officials Democrats as well as Republicans take money from the fossil fuel industry, and now it's going to be the nuclear industry. And so they won't vote for for the kind of policy and legislation that science says we have to have quickly.
And while I don't- look here's what I want to say to all of you. When we vote for a president, we're not marrying them, we're not even making out with them. We're not dating them. They're not perfect everybody's got issues including presidential candidates.

Here's the thing.
We cannot afford to lose four more years to The Climate crisis. We have one ticket.
The orange man represents drill baby drill and really, seriously guys, it's not rhetoric. It's true. It's happening.
K: What is the name of your PAC?
F: The Jane Fonda climate PAC, you can do support us at Jane pac dot com. Yeah [OVERLAPPING] what we do is well I I just want to finish. What I do want to say
When you vote, whether you're a Republican or Democrat, vote with climate in your heart. Vote for the candidate that will help create a livable future for your children and grandchildren and nieces and nephews cuz the other guy is going to burn us down.
