was destroyed by nuclear bomb. we built this museum so that we never forget what happened. - [yawns] what, dude? - at 8:15 a.m., the people of hiroshima were just minding their own business when out of nowhere, a flash devastated them all. women and children who died in the flash simply evaporated. those left alive suffered the worst pain of all. burns, radiation poisoning. for generations, the radiation affected the victims. japanese babies born without limbs, without eyes. - [chuckles] sorry.

> captioning sponsored by comedy central > announcer: coming to you from new york city, the only city in america, it's "the daily show." tonight: putin's not backing down. mountain climbing while black. and beto o'rourke. this is "the daily show," with trevor noah. ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. thank you so much for tuning in. thank you for coming in person. thank you, so much. thank you, so much. take a seat. let's do this thing. we have got a great show for you tonight. donald trump might want to get another lawyer. the war in ukraine just got

picked up for season two. and dulce sloan finds black people in the mountains. plus beto o'rourke will be joining us on the show. let's do this, people, let's jump straight into the headlines. ( cheers and applause ) all right, all right. before we get into the big stories, let's catch up on a few other things going on in the world. first up, the producers of the james bond movies have announced that casting is officially under way for the next 007. yes, but, but, but, they say whoever takes the role must make a 10-12-year commitment. yeah. which is a bit weird. i mean, if there's one thing james bond is not known for, it's long-term commitments. in health news, a panel appointed by the department of health and human services has formally recommended that all americans under the age of 65 should be screened for anxiety. and i'm going to save you some

time. ( laughter ) yeah, everyone is goddamn anxious, all right? screened? what do you mean? if you live in america and you don't have anxiety, your ass nez a mental health screening, like a full one. by the way, i love how they're recommending the screenings, but only for people under the age of 65. yeah, what about the people over 65? it's basically like,s, well, whatever you're worried about, it's going to be over soon, so..." in military news, space force has officially released its theme song. here's a sample. ♪ ♪ ♪ it sucks. all right. in economic news, the federal reserve has raised interest rates yet again. yeah, to try and get inflation under control. and i don't know, people, after three big interest rate increases, like, they haven't

stopped inflation. maybe try something different, you know. maybe we invite inflation to a party. yeah, and when it gets drunk and passes out, we draw a dick on its face. it won't change anything, but it will be funny. ha-ha, inflation. let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day,s starting with the only exprz who spends more time with his lawyers than his grandkids. donald jurassic trump. now, it turns out the former president is somehow in more legal trouble than ever. and we're going to find out why in another installment of "america's most tremendously wanted." ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ( applause ) >> trevor: now, we all know that donald trump is already in legal trouble for january 6, for stealing classified documents, for meddling in the vote count in georgia, and for having an ass that just will not quit.

( laughter ) but now, he's also in big trouble with new york's attorney general. >> we are in unprecedented territory once again. the new york attorney general has just filed a sweeping fraud lawsuit against former president trump, three of his adult children, and the trump organization. a.g. letitia james says they were involved in a decade-long financial scheme that allowed trump to falsely inflate his net worth by billions of dollars. james says the investigation uncovered some 200 examples of false valuations of trump's assets, and she thinks this civil case will have serious criminal fallout. >> the pattern of fraud and deception that was used by mr. trump and the trump organization for their own financial benefit is astounding. claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal. it's the art of the steal.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: ooooo! donald trump is in trouble now. yeah, because when a prosecutor uses a rhyme, you're about to do time. ( laughter ) ( applause ) now, i'm not going to lie, i'm not optimistic, but if half of what the continual is saying is true, trump is in even bigger than we thought. he's accused of lying about the value of his properties for decades, for decades, to defraud the banks into giving him better loans. these are not small amounts. for instance, mar-a-lago was worth $75 million. what did trump say it was worth? $740 million. how "because i upgraded it, folks, yeah, totally upgraded. i added a rec room. it's got a foosball table and everything." he also claimed his

11,000-square-foot apartment was actually 30,000 square feet, which is a lie. this man is going to be the first person to get in legal trouble for claiming his apartment is a grower and not a shower. i gotta say, it would be so funny if this is what takes trump down. you can imagine, he tried to overthrow the government, but he they got him for lying he ita in-unit washer-dryer. that's the thing that locks him up. and according to this lawsuit, it wasn't just donald. apparently, the whole family was involved in the scheme, which is pretty disappointing. i mean, i expect this from donald trump, you know, and also from don jr. and also from ivawrchg. but eric? ( applause ) actually, actually, yeah, he seems like the kind of of guy who would do this. let's move on to international news and it's about ukraine.

>> vladimir putin is preparing for a longer and more intense war on ukraine. in a speech carried nationally in russia, the president said he will put up 300,000 military reservists to active duty. >> vladimir putin's been pushed into a corner. warning the west he still has weapons of mass destruction -- read that as nuclear-- and he's prepared to use them. "we will use all the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people," he said. "this is not a bluff." >> trevor: wow, wow, wow. seriously, putin. nukes, the n-word? not cool, man. not cool. that's america's word to use. he does sound serious, though. you heard him. you heard what he said. he said, "this is not bluff." although to be fair, request the this is not a bluff" is what someone who is bluffing would say. it wouldn't be very effective if

he said, i will nuke entire world, but i am bluffing, so don't worry." ( laughter ) i know this is random, but i find it funny he has the two landlines behind him in the picture. no, i mean, i get the one, the one, maybe that's for the nuclear codes. but what's the other line for? is he also a part-time telemarketer. "i'm preparing for nuclear war, which is why life insurance is very important right now. could you introduce you to a plan?" ( applause ) you know, one of the most frustrating things about this war is the only reason it's still going on is because vladimir putin is trying to save face. he just doesn't want to be seen to be losing. it made me wonder-- do you think putin knows how to lose? like, do you knowing he knows how? think about it, the dude plays an annual hockey game where the russian team lets him score 32 goals, all right. he somehow wins the judo contest

against professionals every year. so it actually wouldn't surprise me that he can't accept the concept that he can lose. you know, it's almost like when parents let their kids win everything. they're like, "wow, billie, you ran so fast. you win again!" then the kid grows up thinking that losing isn't a part of life. that's why when i race my four-year-old nephew last weekend, i smoked his ass! ( cheers and applause ) bam! left him in the dust! yeah. then i gave him a rematch, and i smoked his ass again! wooo! i mean, yes, he cried. yes, he cried. but you know what he won't do? invade ukraine. yeah. ( applause ) all right, finally, let's turn to the world of sport. where there is some really exciting stuff going on. in baseball, aaron judge is on a historic home run tear, crushing it out there. in football, the giants won a

game. ( applause ) but most exciting news of all, is coming out of the n.b.a. and it's because the king has a new crown. >> and it looks like basketball icon lebron james is trying something new. the lakers star posted this picture on his instagram stories sitting in a barber's chair with no hair. for years, lebron's hairline has been the subject of countless means. >> trevor: okay, okay, who this, lebron james. i love it. this is a dob look. not only does he look better, this is going to be trouble for the rest of the league. can you imagine a more mayoro dynamic lebron. he's going to be unstoppable. i'm glad lebron did this. i'm proud of him. his hair kept receding further and further back. there's nothing wrong with it. his line was so far back, stef curran was hitting 3s behind

it. very disrespectful, stef. i like it, slick, still got the beard. it's so good, it's inspired me to do it, too. that's right. the time has come. thank you, lebron. no, guys, i'm kidding! i'm kidding! calm down! i'm kidding! i'm kidding. god bless me, calm down. that's it for the headlines, but before we go, let's check in on traffic with our very own roy wood jr., everybody! ( cheers and applause ) >> look at this! go, go, go! >> trevor: roy, what's happening in the traffic. >> trevor: oh, my god. it's crazy, man! the police they're chasing some dude. he stole a party bus, man. this shit is wild. he's zigzagging all out of traffic. he pulled over earlier and let all the strippers out. that is a gentleman. you don't see that kind of chivalry no more. i've been on this type of party bus before. that's a chevrolet 5500.

this chase might go another four hours. this is a lot. >> trevor: this is wild. >> yeah. >> trevor: is that happening right now? where is this? >> no, this is from eight months ago. i just figured this is more interesting than whatever you be wanting me to talk about. >> trevor: what do you mean it's more interesting, boy? traffic is interesting. >> yeah, that's why i'm watching it. >> trevor: this is not the traffic, roy! people want to know what's happening on the road. where can of why do you never want to do the traffic? >> do you want regular traffic? >> trevor: can we do the traffic? >> let's do the regular traffic. you happy now? is that interesting? ( applause ). >> trevor: you know, i want you to tell me-- >> is that interesting. >> trevor: tell me what's happening. what's going on. >> fine, fine, i'll tell you what's happening. james bond. you said they're looking for a new james bond. i sent them a resume. we're going to see whose happening. who do you like? who do you want? who do you think should be the

new james bond. >> trevor: yeah, they're casting now, and i hope it's idris elba. i'm not going to lie. ( applause ). >> eehhh... no. i know that's your boy. no disrespect. i just don't think-- i am just not sure if now is the time to drop a black james bond on white people. they're really sensitive right now. they lost their queen. you just gained-- you can't just drop a black james bond. you saw what happened with the little mermaid. we did the little mermaid. we took half a fish. we almost didn't survive the week. you can't come back and take james bond right after that! you can't do that, man. see, this-- this is what you all forget, bro. james bond is the white man's dream job. it's a dream job for a white man. he travels. he drink on the job.

he get to shoot people. he don't get in trouble for it. no paperwork. and he get to have a whole lot of sex and s.t.d. when was the last time you saw james bond buy a condom? ( laughter ) it's a dream job. so if we take that from white men, it's going to be backlash. and i just don't know if i'm ready for the backlash that will come from getting a black james bond. if we mess with their classics they're going to mess with our classics. that's what's going to happen. do you want to lose what ice cube and chris tucker create gld what do you mean? >> do you want a white friday? that's that's what's going to happen. if we get a black james bond, they get a white friday, and i don't want that. is that what you want? you want mark wahlberg riding around with timothy chal-- chal-- how do you say his name. >> trevor: chalamet. >> you know the one i'm talking

about. >> trevor: so what are you saying? >> i'm saying, you know, if it's already a movie, let white people have it. all right. just about the new stuff that's coming along. here's the thing. we talk about diversity in film and all this. the secret to turning white characters black is that you got to strategically do it from the books. then nobody notice. when you change a book character into a different race on screen, people don't read books. nobody be reading. your book is still, like, in the "new york times" bestseller. how long ago did your book-- you know how many books came out since your book? that's how much people don't read. they don't buy the new books. they would just rather read your book over and over again. >> trevor: that makes so sense. what is your point? >> how can you not follow this? i'm making perfect sense. look, when you have white characters in a book and you flip them into black characters on screen. >> trevor: yeah. >> nobody cares. it's already been happening for decades. morgan freeman, "shawshank

redemption." in the book, that is a white character. >> trevor: what? >> for real, for real. i'm dead ass. morgan freeman's character in shawshank redemption was written as a white man. same thing jackie brown. pam greer. the book that that movie is based on was a white woman. >> trevor: wow, oh, yeah, i didn't know. >> you flip the book into the blackness. that's how you do it. ( laughter ) i'll give you one more. the book "confess fletch." the movie franchise. in the new one, the cop that's investigating fletch in the book is a white man. but who did they cast in ""confess fletch"? >> trevor: who? ( applause ) >> i'm just saying. representation. >> trevor: did you-- >> representation. >> trevor: did you-- did you take us on this whole journey

just to promote your new movie with john hamm? is that what this whole thing was about? >> i would never come on this show and promote "confess fletch" currently in theaters and available on demand and on the showtime paramount+ bundle. that's disrespectful. we're trying to boil representation down to solely black faces telling white stories. it's more than that. it's about black faces telling original stories. just give us more-- you like idris elba, cool. rather than idris elbaplaying james bond what i would like to se is something in the the same field. you could have him with a gun, and he's a smooth talker with the ladies, but he's in harlem, right. he's in harlem. that's a fresh idea. and leather jacket, too. leather jacket in harlem. >> trevor: you made "shaft. the. >> my movie is called "shoft."

it's different. you put the little thing over the "a" -- >> roy wood jr., everybody. ( cheers and applause ) all right, when we come back, dulce sloan is going to find out what black people don't do. so don't go away. ( cheers and applause ) i was born here, i'm from here, and i'm never leaving here. i'm a new york hotel. yeah, i'm tall. 563 feet and 2 inches. i'm on top of the world. i'm looking for someone who likes to be in the middle of it all, but also likes some peace and quiet. you hungry? i know a place, and few others nearby. it's the city that never sleeps, but hey, if you need the rest, i've got you covered.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." you know, there are a lot of stereotypes about what black people in america like and what they don't. but dulce sloan breaks down those stereotypes in our brand-new segment, "we don't do that." >> "she placed her hand on his throbbing member." oh, hello. i'm dulce. and i'm here to take you on a journey. but first, what do these things have in common? goat yoga. sky diving. owners matching outfits with their pets. that's right. it's stuff white people love to do and black people don't do white people stuff, snriet wrong! i traveled far and wide, and i have discovered there are pockets of black people who like to partake in such caucasian activities. so sit down. relax. and get some damn popcorn because this shit is crazy! here it is. another installment of "we don't

do that." ♪ ♪ ♪ in this segment, we're looking at mountain ears. no, not them. there we go. meet team "full circle," a group of mountaineers that plan to be the first black expedition to summit mount everest and they hope to inspire and recruit me into their world. you all see these nails? girl, no! expense one i finely got them off the damn wall, i asked the only question on my mind, "why?" >> why? >> why. >> realistically, i think the why is because we've all been climbing for a number of years now. and all of our part is kind of come together at this one point to say, "hey, let's go to everest, because that's the path that everybody's on." >> there's only a handful of black people who have even been on the mountain, and because we're going to climb everest and

it has the name, there's no way you can't talk about the lack of diversity. >> there is a lack of representation of black people doing this. >> black everest is deadly as hell. in fact over the 10,000 successful summits that have been recorded on everest, fewer than 10 of those climbers have been black. so what are some comments you all get when people find out you all are mountaineers. >> "black people don't do that black people don't do snow. we don't do skiing. we don't do camping." that can become a very real, self-imposed limitation. >> it's until you see someone that looks like you that does it, it's we don't do those things. >> i don't believe that you're mountaineers. if i go to a store to buy a piece of mountaineering equipment, sometimes people will explain to me what it is. >> and i'm sure you get things explained to you a lot because you are black and you are a woman. >> i don't realize i'm a vendor of a lot of climbing equipment.

>> despite all that, they're still climbing. even knowing shit like this could happen. >> it's an inhospitable place. people are not meant to live there. >> okay, i'm just glad you know that nature was like, "get down." >> there is less air as well. after a certain point over, you know, 23,000, 23,000 feet, yyou need oxygen. >> you have to bring your own air to outside. that's where all the air lives. >> yes, ma'am. >> what else? >> avalanches. >> okay so just to get this straight-- avalanche, frostbite of various areas, running out of air, fainting, dying. >> brain swelling. >> brain swelling! how do you know your brain is swollen. >> you could go blind. you can't see. >> why are you all doing this again. this seem like it doesn't--

explain to me what's on the top of this mountain? >> the best view of the world. >> the joy of, like, just digging deep and pushing yourself. that's what so much of this is about is the journey and the process. >> it is going through that process, being transformed by it, and hopefully, a hell of a lot more black and brown folks. >> with all of your appendages. >> still attached. >> have you considered glasming? >> people don't know the things they can do until they're exposed to it. come do what we do. >> but-- >> that's why you're here to join us and get together and learn about what we're doing, to climb a big mountain. >> i don't think i have to go outside. my producer just said, yes, i have to go outside. okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. this team is training for everest, want meas to join them on a fun colorado hike on a mountain outside with snow on top. and very little air. all right, i think we've gone far enough. we're going to take a quick

>> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." my guest tonight is currently running for governor of texas. he's also written a new book, "we've got to try: how the fight for voting rights makes everything possible." please welcome beto o'rourke! ( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: beto o'rourke. welcome back to "the daily show." >> thank you for having me back. >> trevor: you are back on the campaign trail, this time for different position-- governor of texas. it is-- ( cheers and applause ) it's an interesting time to be dealing with politics in texas because everything is happying in and around texas. let's jump straight into it. you have run before. you came super close. you didn't take. what do you think will be different this time? and why? >> it's really about where texas is and what texans are willing to do about it. so, you mentioned all these things that are coming to a head

in our state. we have the most extreme abortion ban in america. no exception for rape or incest. speaking of democracy and the right to vote-- it is harder to get on the roles in the state than any state in the union. it has been 17 weeks since the 19 kids were killed in uvaluedy. instead of succumbing to the temptation of despair or submitting to this, texans are rising up and they're volunteering on this campaign. they're knocking on doors. they're towrnth in record numbers. they're going to win this election in november, which is really a referendum on all these issues? are we going to be defined by the extremism and hatred and the way we make each other afraid of one another or are we going to come together and do big things together? it's an exciting time to be doing this. and a great state to be in. and we're going to win. ( applause ). >> trevor: you know, there's no denying that you've always had a charismatic way about you. there's no denying you have been really popular on the national stage.

unfortunately, sometimes, it feels like the majority of texas isn't exactly on the same page that you are. a good example is the busing stunt that's happening right now, you know, with greg abbott busing people all over the country to prove a point. you're against that. you've spoken out against it multiple times. but more than 50% of texans go, "yeah, this is the right move, because it sends a message to washington, d.c. how do you-- hohow do you work that in your mind the idea that you are opposed to so many texans who say, "this is actually what we want." >> i actually think this extremism we see in our current governor and government in texas is reflective of the fact that we have a badly broken democracy. seven million texasians didn't vote in the last election. and if a majority right now thinks that busing migrants to d.c. or chicago is a good idea, maybe, as you suggested, it's a reflection of the fact that our immigration is so badly broken. and people want to do something.

what i propose, though, is instead of these stunts, which are so cruel and unkind-- not just to those migrants but to those of us who live in texas, to the border patrol agents we put on thiz backs this entire immigration system that is so badly broken. what if instead we had, for example, a texas-based guest worker program or the rability to join family and not wait 20 years in line. what if you were trying to claim asylum, you didn't wait six years for your claim to be adjudicated, the current wait time. what if texas led the way in rewriting our laws to reflect our values our interests and our needs. look, if you want to come to our country, you must follow our laws. but our laws must follow our values. i want texas to lead on that ( applause ). >> trevor: it's admirable. i think it's admirable. i think you're proposing solutions.

but it seems like america is getting to a place where people are less enthused by long-term plans and more riled up by an immediate idea that seems like it will work, even if it may not. you know, you're out there. you're speaking to people. i know you knock on doors and talk to people personally. i'd love to know, have you met a person who doesn't agree with you on immigration, doesn't agree with you on these issues and has changed thirds minds and what was it that made them change their minds. >> we were in a town called hempville, in east texas. and they literally have about 3% high-speed internet access. huge infrastructure problem. it's a red, republican county. half of the group that comes out is republican, you know, 20 are wearing "make america great again" shirts and donald trump hats on. this guy stands up and asks a very legitimate question-- he's wearing a trump hat. he said, "my mom immigrated to this country from canada, and to renew her green card we had to

stand in a line every so often. she had to work three jobs because my dad could not work. i started working when i was 14 years old. we played by the rules. we followed the law, and i don't know about why, beto, people are coming in between ports of entry right now and not following our laws. and i think his anger was legitimate. his experience was valid, and he asked a really good question. we talked about is busing migrants fixing this problem at all? well, no. is building a mile and a half of border wall, which is what greg abbott has done, helping anything. no, i guess it's not. what if we address the fact people have legitimate reasons to want to come here to work join family or seek asylum in a country comprielzed by and large of asylum seekers and refugees. and what if we in texas, you as a republican, and i as a democrat, led on this issue. he comes over at the end of the meeting shakes my hand, and saz, you know what, you might have earned my vote by coming out here to hempville and having this conversation. so it works.

dialogue works. >> trevor: how do you bring people together to solve an issue that you talk about in this booker the fight for voting rights, where america is particularly divided right now is how the parties view the issue of voting. you have donald trump and the republicans saying that the election was stolen. there were millions of illegal votes. none of this has been proven. in fact the opposite has been proven. and at the same time, you have republicans saying, "well, if democrats say that we should accept the elections, why don't they accept the elections after they lose." they will say stacey abrams wasn't lnl. how do you break that? how do you get beyond that dialogue to have the conversation that everybody votes. >> it helps for me at least to understand not only can we do what you just described. we've done it before against longer odds. one of the stories i tell in the book, "we've got to try," is a black doctor in el paso, who

never missed an election, until 1923 they outlawed voting by black texans. he pays his poll taxes and shows up and they say, "dr. nixon, you know we can't let you know." he says i know but i have to try. for 20 years he fights the battle, a lonely one. takes it to the supreme court, wins two victories and by 1944 has helped to integrate elections once again in texas and laid the path for l.b.j. to work on and ultimately sign the voting rights act into law in 1965. if that guy could do it against those odds, who are we now notexas who inherited his sacrifice and service and strilg, we can't squander it. we have to build on it and make sure we win it back. in our campaign we're targeting the very voters who are themselves the targets of suppression and intimidation, to bring them in and make them the margin of victory on election night. we're gog get our democracy back. >> trevor: that's a very

difficult mountain to climb. i wish you the best of luck. >> trevor: we've got to try" is available now. we're going to take a quick break.

( cheers and applause ) >> trevor: well, that's our show for tonight. but before we go: i wanted to remind you again, much of puerto rico is still without power in the wake of hurricane fiona. please consider supporting "hispanic federation." they are on the ground. they're providing e
