I was so depressed.

And then I said, fuck it.

I said, I'm going to make a difference.

Hi, everyone, from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. This is on with

Kara Swisher, and I'm Kara Swisher. My guest today is legendary actor and activist Jane Fonda.

Over the past five decades, Jane has fought for peace, civil rights, indigenous rights,

women's rights, and the environment, among others. And Jane is fighting harder than ever.

She recently relaunched the committee for the First Amendment. She's been outspoken in her

defense of democracy against the threat of Trumpist authoritarianism. And her political action

committee, the Jane Fonda Climate Pack, has helped elect over 200 candidates across the country.

I'm excited to talk to her because I'm exhausted and she's

not and therefore I can't be. One of the things about Jane Fonda is she was very right during

Vietnam and she's very right now. She's always been on the cutting edge of things and most importantly,

as opposed to a lot of people from Hollywood, which you feel kind of is a mile wide and a foot deep,

she really walks the talk and does do activism in a way that I think is very effective and is part of,

you know, the broader culture of people in Hollywood and celebrities doing it, but she's

incredibly effective. Our expert question comes from someone else I really like Chelsea

Handler, who Jane did a solid

for once and you can hear about that soon. Jane isn't just a legend. She's an inspiration.
