[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause]

>> al: welcome to "the daily show." i'm al franken. and it's tuesday, which is the day trump told us he was going to be arrested, which it turns out, didn't happen. so that's the last time i believe something that guy says. we've got a great show for you tonight, and let's get right into the headlines! ♪ ♪ [cheers and applause] let's begin right here in new york city, the greatest city in the world. [cheers and applause] it's changing its pronouns. >> the iconic "i love new york" logo is getting a makeover. the new campaign, "we love new york city," launched by officials to help the city rebound from the pandemic. designers keeping the big red heart, but switching up the font

a little bit. mayor adams and governor hochul on hand in times square to unveil the new logo with the help of broadway stars and community leaders. >> no one will ever beat new yorkers down. and we took the "i" out of "i love new york" and we brought the "we." we're in this together. >> al: that's right, it's not "i" anymore, it's "we." as in, "we can't afford rent," [cheers and applause] or, "we just got pushed in front of the subway." or "we just pushed someone in front of the subway." but if you are wondering how they got this incredible new slogan, i actually have some of the

runner ups here. let's see, some of the other options were... "we love jew york." okay. "jew york, jew york." "start spreading the jews." and then they told kanye to leave the meeting. and that's when they settled on "we love new york city." now let's move on to a story that's very sad for those of us who love fox news. because it turns out that a producer for tucker carlson is suing the network, saying that the network pressured her to lie in the dominion voting machines lawsuit. and i actually wasn't surprised about this at all, because all the way back, 20 years ago, i wrote a book about fox news

called "lies and the lying liars who tell them: a fair and balanced look at the right." and in fact, i wanted to treat you guys tonight, so if you all look under your seats, you'll find directions to a local bookstore where you can buy it for $29.99. okay, let's move on to international news this week. vladimir putin is hosting chinese president xi jingping for a three-day summit in moscow and a lot of people are upset with xi for cozying up to putin after he's become an international pariah. but you know what? i think that that is exactly the time when you really find out who your friends are.

we should all be so lucky to have friend like president xi, who doesn't charge us for every little crime against humanity. and other overseas news, there was a big win for workers in france, who will now get to work longer than ever. despite weeks of protest from lazy french people who wanted to keep the retirement age at 62, the government has now raised the age at which workers can retire with a pension to 64. and this is terrible news, because it's leading to an revolution in france. and last time that happened, we all had to listen to russell crowe sing show tunes. so fix this right now, france!

i am sorry, but i have no patience for people who need to stop working in their early 60s. i'm 71, and i'm working, and i [cheers and applause] and i haven't lost a -- step, beat. i'm as sharp as i was when i started on... oh, "saturday night live!" i haven't lost a step since then. and that was back in 1975, nearly 20 -- 30... 40... decades. let's get to the story today -- [cheers and applause] but let's get to the story today that makes all the other stories kind of pointless. according to the u.n., we're all going to die.

>> just in to cnn, a dire warning about the state of the planet. a new u.n. report warns the climate time bomb is ticking and the world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe. this report tells us we need a quantum leap in climate action and every country in the world has to reduce emissions at warp speed to try curb the warming of our planet. we are nowhere close to making that paris agreement goal of curbing warming to 1.5 degrees celsius from preindustrial levels. to accomplish all of it, developed and the richest nations in the world would need to reach net zero by 2040. that is going to be nearly impossible. >> al: wow. that's awful. shout out to my baby boomers! feels like we got the last chopper outta saigon, doesn't it? and that's a reference we baby boomers understand. part of the problem is, the u

u.n.'s expectation of coll colle action, it's easy to shirk your part when everybody has to chip in. so the solution here is to call out people individually. the next u.n. report shouldn't say, "we all must lower our emissions," it should say, "gary, stop driving your car so much! you don't need to visit your wife's grave every day, she's not keeping track!" the fact is, on our current path, we're in for a grim future. and to find out just how grim, let's go to the future to talk to desi lydic. [cheers and applause] >> hi, al, yes, i am reporting from the year 2075. can you believe it? this face is 93. take that, paul rudd.

>> al: desi, i'm afraid to ask, but how is the climate crisis going 60 years from now? >> climate crisis? oh, we solved that years ago! look! the entire world looks like a lisa frank folder. >> al: hold on. we fixed climate change? how did that happen? >> well, it started when the u.n. issued its report on march 20, 2023, warning that we had to radically reduce carbon emissions by 2040. so, we read the report and we made all the changes and saved the world! back to you, al! >> al: wait, desi. you're talking about the report from yesterday? >> yeah, it laid out exactly what we needed to do so everybody came together and did it. why wouldn't we? >> al: wasn't doing all that really expensive? >> yeah, it definitely was. but the alternative was the

destruction of the planet, so of course, we just spent the money! obviously! back to you, al. >> al: i can't believe it, everything sounds so great in the future. >> oh, it sure is! oh, hi, little guy. >> al: a grasslands pharaoh? i thought those were going extinct. >> they were, but we turned it around! we re-forested the amazon. we got all the plastic out of the ocean and upcycled it into friendship bracelets that we all wear, unironically! plus, all the children joined hands and sang in a harmony so beautifully, it ended war forever. >> al: wow, holy crap! really? all that happens? >> oh, my god, no! you dumb dumb! i'm being sarcastic!

you think that for some reason, we are going to suddenly start listening to u.n. climate reports? no! al, i'm not from the future. this is all fake. i'm literally in the same room as you right now! [cheers and applause] >> al: i'm so stupid. i didn't realize that. >> i hate to say it, but we're gonna keep driving ford expeditions and burning fossil fuels until the ocean swallows us whole. >> al: well, i guess you are right, desi. and, you know, that's our satirical point. if only satire had the power to change the future for the better. >> well, al, the good news is there's still a chance that our sharp-witted satire will inspire

people to make the necessary changes to save our planet. >> al: wow, really? >> no! oh, my god! i'm being sarcastic! jesus christ, were you really a senator? >> al: yes. yes, i was. desi lydic, everyone. [cheers and applause] all right, when we come back, i'm going to dig around in your trash. so don't go away. [cheers and applause]

[cheers and applause] >> al: welcome back. welcome back to "the daily show" coming to you from fabulous new york city. new york is a city of superlatives: biggest, tallest, richest, most richest, most duane-readiest. but because so many people live in new york, it's also the trashiest city on the u.s. recently, i decided to try and answer a very basic question.

you ever wonder where your garbage actually goes? as a new yorker, i have always kind of assumed that it was taken away by some garbage fairy after i put it outside my apartment. well, it turns out that is not the case. in fact, i don't know what happens to it, so i am here at the 91st street transfer station to find out. ♪ ♪ my guide is jessica tisch, new york's 41st commissioner of sanitation. a lifelong new yorker with only three harvard degrees. she formally held high-ranking positions in both the city administration and the police department and all of that has led her to this. ♪ ♪ >> al: wow. that is a lot of trash. >> yeah, this isn't a a lot of trash for us. this is probably less than 500,000 pounds of it. >> al: this is what you wanted to do. >> yeah, a girl can dream. >> al: there it is.

>> i was desperate to run sanitation. >> al: why did you want this? >> sanitation is the essential service. everyday, new yorkers make 24 million pounds of trash and recycling. we don't do our job for one day, everyone in new york city notices. if we don't do our jobs for two or three days, that is a public health crisis. >> al: commissioner tisch has already been a dynamo of innovation. bringing new ideas in a breath of fresh air to gotham's piles of garbage. >> we announced this week that we are changing this at all times for trash to 8:00 p.m. >> this week, department of sanitation launched its first all borough composting. >> the biggest swing we can do to clean up the street is to shut down the all-night all-you-can-eat rat buffet. >> tell me about you have been associated with the word "rat," and "rats," because he said something that went viral. >> the rats don't run the city. we do. >> the rats don't run this city.
