- Rebel with a Cause: Actress and activist Jane Fonda is mad as hell - and she’s unleashing her trademark ferocity to address climate change - one of the most pressing issues of our lifetimes. Now 86, she recently said, “This is the moment I have to completely show up with everything I have. I want to be part of the generation that does something about it … because this is it.”
On Wednesday, June 26th she joined journalist Katie Couric to explain what she’s doing to save the planet.
Now in its 20th year, the Aspen Ideas Festival is the Aspen Institute’s signature summer public event. From June 23-June 29, 2024 more than 300 leaders and innovators gather in the Rocky Mountains to engage in deep and inquisitive discussion of the issues that shape our lives and challenge our times, spanning politics, business, science, the arts, education, and more. #AspenIdeas

Thank you for supporting President Biden and V.P. Harris, Ms. Fonda.
Jane, you’re an angel 😇 and a change maker. One of my heroes.
AGREED.
Vote Biden back in and if he cannot serve Kamala Harris will do a fine job!!!! Don't forget her!
This is the answer.
Vote for your democracy. Because if that goes, you can kiss that goodbye as well as climate change legislation.
Jane please speak out about the supreme court and how it is assisting trump to sacrifice the planet.
AGREED.
I am 70 and have seen a lot too. She brought me to tears many times with her passion and desperation. If we had a small percent of her dedication and fierceness and took action it could really make a difference.
As a social worker and environmentalist for decades I have cared about many issues, but I've always said that climate and environment are number 1 because it affects every person and living thing. It doesn't matter what you own or your politics are- we will all go down together, though the super rich will last a little longer in their bubble fake apocalyptic world. They are the ones only thinking of themselves and their immediate loved ones. And those are typically bankers, corporate CEOs, and leaders of most countries.
There are almost 8 billion of the rest of us who actually care about life on Earth so surely we can do more to save it. It is home to so many life forms and a miracle of Creation.
How will you answer your children and grandchildren who no longer have a planet worth living in when they cry out, "why didn't you do more? "💔😥🙏
Well said! I LOVE Jane's energy and passion for our planet, brought me to tears as well. ❤
AGREED.
Thank you Jane. At 66 and retirement coming in 2 months, I've wondered what to do with myself. I wondered how to matter as a single woman with no immediate family near by. I have an environmental degree that I never got to use. After listening to you, it's time to break out that degree and devote time to the cause. 👍
Bless you, you can now put that degree to valuable and meaningful use. And congrats on your retirement, Abbie, now you'll never be bored! 😊😉👍🌷❤
God Bless You and Your New Journey For Clean Air💜💜💜
Jane, thank you for inspiring all of us for so long. With so much evil to overcome in this world, we hope you are still cheering us on in another 20 years ❤
Every time I heart Jane Fonda talk, I break down into tears, because she is SO RIGHT, AND SO COURAGEOUS 💟💟💟 We aren't just trying to make the air clean and the ocean clean for humans, but for ANIMALS, which have silent voices, who we are killing one after another, every species on this planet has been exploited, overlooked, and abused by human beings. We need to think of other species for a change, I mean, REALLY!! It is their planet too, and we have been on a free-for-all too long, and constantly TAKING!! Please make the environment the reason to vote this year, as well as, keeping the slick, arrogant, spoiled, unhappy, lying, negative, FELON out of the Presidency....‼ He will completely ignore and purposely will throw out the window, all environmental, mega important issues.
Excellent discussion between two very accomplished and outspoken individuals.
Not a USA treasure, An Global, International treasure💙💖🥰❤❤🇦🇺🌏🙏🏽🖖✌
I love you both. Always loved Jane. In all you do and have done. Katie so cool.
What an inspiration....we all need to spread the word and act on her words!
Amen 🙏! If we get rid of the bad Republicans in congress holding up our needs! Together we can get our point across to work and improve our climates instability!
Maybe the most important conversation of all the Aspen Ideas this year.
Why is no one talking about the Chevron Doctrine??? Our Rome is falling right in front of our eyes.
Ok goober. 🤣
Such a smart and brave woman. You are the definition of transformation, care, and commitment.
Bravo Jane! You are so right, vote down ballot, blue all the way. I agree that Biden is empathetic and caring, and CARES about the American citizens. So we have to vote him into the White House again!
AGREED.
Thank you so much for what you're doing!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Go Jane👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
YES!!! Vote for our Democracy! Thank you Jane! ❤
Great to hear her describing her young childhood in nature, vs the polluted LA of the 1970s-80s, with everyone gradually getting accustomed to rampant pollution. And this is exactly what the recent SCOTUS Chevron decision wants to return to. But possibly worse today: more than 2x as many people, a myriad of toxic chemicals, corporate cash, and more. And Jane's reminder that not so very long ago, cancer was RARE. Hmmm.....
Wow Jane Fonda, you are amazing ❤ I love your passion. You are a wonderful speaker
Jane Fonda I was born in 1939 little younger than you but I followed you all your life and supported everything you've done. My buddies also Electric in fact I just experienced the lectures the doing of a Vipassana course. You should try it
One of our last voices, make sure to remember this year
Bless you !
Amazing! Jane is so inspiring, we need her everywhere!!❤😊
Hell yeah. Activist forever and Ms Couric too. Jane Fonda is a woman to be proud of.
i come from a long line a very happy people normal simple ordinary run of the mill, hardworking honest people. and from Idaho no less. I'm a Buddhist in Thailand.
Jane, maybe you should run for President or Vi Pres. We'd vote for you
Legend!
Jane Fonda is such a blessing. Grateful to her for her vigor and her ability to buck her family history of depression and desperation.
AGREED.
Always been a Jane Fonda fan and now at her age I am an even bigger fan because this woman could be home enjoying her retirement but instead she’s out there is not afraid to put herself out for what she believes.
Thank you so much Jane! I've always loved your passion for doing what's right and never giving up. You are truly an amazing and special person for caring the way you do and putting your money where your mouth is to better our planet. And you are SO RIGHT...money doesn't matter in the end only love and doing better so our future generations won't have to suffer.

Human greed and human consuming and their lazy comfortzone are the ENEMIES.
The bravest person in my lifetime. She probably savers 15000 American soldiers lives from Viet Nam. Put her livelihood on the line for the ungrateful veterans who chaste her as Hanoi Jane.🫡a real HERO
This was amazing. Comes down to one thing. Don’t vote for Project 25, don’t vote for fascism. Vote for the only option for life on this planet: Joe Biden, who has a team of younger people; don’t f-ing worry about that. It’s not the issue..Climate and planet Earth IS 🙏
Very inspiring talk! I hope I am still around at her age. In fact, I hope we are all still here in 2050, even though we won't have Jane with us then. We are in a predicament that goes beyond climate change. We are using resources faster than the Earth can replenish them and we are producing waste faster than the Earth can detoxify it. Our political, educational, financial, medical and legal institutions are all in a state of collapse, which causes people to support authoritarian goverments out of fear. This is the time for all of us to be courageous and take our heads out of the sand. Look around and really see reality. Think about future generations, or at least, your own children and grandchildren. Thank you, Jane, for being a true leader!
Jane Fonda uses all her communication skills to share the truth! To shout the truth!! To shape a better world for all! She is truly a great servant leader!!❤️👏 32:32 at Aspen
Hindsight is 20/20 this fucking shite started with trump #1 Nixon! And all the other bitter men that followed, ie, Clarence (should be clearance)Thomas (SOTD)!
I like that Clearance Thomas. Did you make that up?😅
Bravo Jane. An amazing woman!
Thank You Jane! ❤❤❤
For Everything You Do!
Ride the bus. Gift bus passes. Go down to one car. Practice using trains, and busses. Collaborate with others to ride share. Put in geo thermal heat and cooling, insulate, solar panels.
Protest ice hockey arenas in warm places.
Turn on fans, no a/c, feet in cold water, fermentation not refrigeration, turn off hot water in summer.
Wow.... her defense of Biden one day before his catastrophic performance was simply brilliant. No sarcasm and no joke here -- she literally managed to convince me that even a corpse as President would be better than the fascism that would come with Trump.
what a beautilul person,
I went to a meeting at a church in South Los Angeles that was about poor people's rights. She was in the audience, not on the speakers panel, not on the poster or website. She was just a fellow citizen. I talked to her a little bit, and it was a thrill. I got the impression that it was a night off for her, and this is how she wanted to spend it.
Jane Fonda is the best badass of my time. Love her. She makes a difference and is such an inspiration! She should run for president!🤩🤩🤩
Thank you, Jane Fonda!
I was shocked as well how many private planes are sitting at the Aspen Airport.
OMG, EVERYTHING Jane says! Not only is she such a prolific speaker that explains everything so well, but she is the most prolific in ACTION- a personal hero!!
Great job, Jane Fonda! You are my hero! Thanks so much for supporting Biden!
This could be done without Katie Couric... Jane has a lot more to say!!!!!
A beautiful and fantastic woman ! 🎉
❤Jane and Vote 💙 Americans need to do what is right for all not just a few. USA needs to put the right people in power. The world is watching.
Jane Fonda is amazing! Wise beyond measure!
That last comment by Ms. Fonda really resonated with me. If we have a democratic government, we still have the right to disagree, should it come to that. With an authoritarian government, we have no voice. None. Please vote BLUE to save our union. BIDEN/HARRIS 2024
Henry Fonda Forever 💙
What did he do other than being an actor?
@@rachelstark2391 He served in THE UNITED STATES NAVY in WII, volunteered. Also, being an actor ain't bad. He inspired people, and they loved him for it. We can't all be small business tyrants and trinket peddlers.
@reddeserted13
Okay, he was in the military. I will give him that, but he was not political and not a pleasant person. On the big screen, one can pretend to be anyone.
You need to be more worried about the big corporation tyrants.
@@rachelstark2391 He was political. An FDR liberal. I understand the concept of some things being more important than others. You're on here complaining about corporate overlords on a platform ruled by corporate overlords. Maybe you're just using the tools of the master or some other justification, but arguing politics in the comments really doesn't change anybody's mind. I've already been there and done that years ago. Done with it. Enjoy.
@@reddeserted13
Did you know him personally?
Katie Couric interrupts too often to make lame jokes or comments and that stops the guests flow and train of thought. Knock it off Couric. When you ask a question shut-up and allow the guest to answer it. She is correct - unconscionable!!! I was born in 1955 and cancer was rare then too. I always list climate change as one of my top 5 concerns. I'm voting blue all the way. Greed for greed's sake is the sign of a sick soul. It makes me so sad when women get to a position of power and then they act and support the old boy's game of greed for money and power. We have some women in Congress now who are doing what Jane is asking us to do. Of course, we also have a few women in Congress that are support the orange man. Jane Rocks!
Really, this was your takeaway from this?
Vote 💙 2024 to ensure Freedom Choice Joy Prosperity Democracy Diversity and a 🌎 and future for our children 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Is that a Chanel top she’s wearing or Gucci❓Loving the fresh sleek look👍
her voice now sounds so much like louise hay voice.
Your colours make you look very pale.You are so smart and doing good work to try to protect our environment.
If Joe Biden is reelected, we can make daring progress as he has nothing to lose. Vote Joe!! 🌊💙🌊💙
21:33 😢
I don't believe either party has the best interest for the earth. It is time to think independInd/3rd party to really change the energy.
Jane Fonda is one of the Hottest women ever in America !! I LOVE Her !!
An excellent person we can all learn from - not only learning about how to treat the world, also how to finally treat yourself. Through both, we can do it all. Go Jane!
PLEASE CAST AN INFORMED VOTE FOR CONGRESSIONAL & PRESIDENTIAL THIS NOVEMBER!
STOP PROJECT 2025!
✌️& ❤
Please don’t tell me Couric is a Trump fan! 😏
My peers served and sacrificed to fight in VietNam even if they did not believe in that war, so we will never shake the label of traitor Hanoi Jane
Even her parents didn't love her 😂
Pkease don't sacrifice mankind on a cross of gold dear billionaires
Vote Blue!
It's project 2025
Greta started great but now she screams in the streets: From the River to the Sea. Shame on her. It's an invitation for her to educate herself on this issue as well.
...or loses one's train of thought and that is ok!
Water in Hawaii tastes like petroleum.
😂😂😂😂
We should call you Gigglepants
Rebel without a clue.
If you could not rely so heavily on cliches, you'd be more effective.
@@frankpeter6851 "Cliche' "? Hmmm. Play on words perhaps. One not too difficult for the Left. Some bobble for a emotional Pavlovian response.
It would appear I have been quite effective. Thankyou for the "feedback".
RFK has done more to clean and protect the environment. Vote Independent. Vote RFK, Jr.!!
That’s who I am voting for!
Even if that helps Trump get in???? Please be wise.
He would be much more useful working with or lobbying Biden.
Voting for RFK is basically a vote for Trump. Please vote wisely. You are literally throwing your vote in the trash and allowing Fascism to become the new way of life in this country.
In this particular el action we need to vote for Biden to save Democracy. So we can continue to work on putting corporations on limits of pollution.
Boomer cringe
a rather foolish and simplistic non-understanding of well-EVERYTHING. but no worries. it's not going to have anything to do with your life, anyway.
Jane was born before they had cute little names for Generations
RFK Jr. for President in 2024 He is the best option. Sorry, I really do not think Biden will save the planet.
Voting for jfk tried a vote for trump. Work with Biden to help improve our climate controls.
if jane wasn't such a bleeding heart, her message would be better
I only sleep about 4 hours a night/ true yogis hardly sleep at all why do you need nine you should be working haha.
She is incredibly ignorant regarding the subject matter. Yes, the topic is vitally important, however this type of uninformed dissemination of information (out of context and often in error) is misleading and does more harm than good.
Classic elite liberal -- and, if you were wondering, that's not a compliment. Incredibly naive.
I wish that all "elite liberals" were as informed articulate and active as Jane Fonda.
Naive? That’s rich. She brought forth a wealth of information pertinent to where we are at this moment in time.
Hanoi jane
Not anymore. Get over it.
@@trish50DE so get over hitler and mao? Nope.
