Casting Is Officially Underway For The New James Bond | Beto O'Rourke

you tonight. Donald Trump might want to get another lawyer. The one Ukraine just got picked up for season two and dul say loan finds black people in the mountains. Plus better or rock will be joining us on the show. So let's do this, people. That sounds straight if you say that last. 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 costing

is officially underway for the next double or seven. Yes, but, but, but, they say. Whoever takes the role must make a ten to twelve year commitments, which is a bit weird. I mean, if there's one thing James Bond is not known for its 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 sixty should be screened for anxiety. And I'm gonna Save you some time. Yeah,

everyone's God damn ags. All right, probably screened. Doesn't mean if you live in America and you don't have anxiety. You're asked me, is a mental health screen like a full one? And, by the way, I love how they're recommending the screenings, but only for people under the age of sixty. Yeah, what about the people over sixty five? It's basically like they're like, well, whatever you're worried about, it's gonna be over soon. So, in Military News, Space

Force has officially released its theme song. He has a sample. It sucks in UH. 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 rates increases that like they haven't stopped inflation. Maybe's trying to try to try something different. You know, maybe we just invite inflation to a party. Yeah, and then when it gets drunk, it passes out with Dick

on its face. It won't change anything, but it'll be funny. Inflation. All right, let's move on to some of the biggest stories of the day, starting with the only ex president 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 gonna find out why in another installments of America's most

tremendously wanted. Now we all know that Donald Trump is already in legal trouble for January six, for stealing classified documents, for meddling in the vote count in Georgia and for having an ask that just will not quit. 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 is 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 two hundred 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 steel. Oh, Donald trump is in trouble now. Yeah, because when a prosecutor uses a rhyme, you're about to

do time. Now, I'M NOT gonna lie. I'm not optimistic, but if half of what the Attorney General is saying is true, trump isn't even even bigger comment than we all thought, because he's accused of lying about the value of his properties for decades, for decades to defraud the banks into giving him better loans. Right, and these are not small amounts, and a small for instance, Mara Lago was worth seventy five million dollars and what a trump

said was worth seven hundred and forty million dollars. How? Because I upgraded it, folks, yeah, totally upgrade. I added a rap room, he's got a foosball table and everything. He also claimed. He also claimed that his eleven thousand Square Foot Department was actually thirty thousand square feats, which was a lie. So this man is gonna be the first person to ever get in legal trouble for claiming his apartment is a grower, not a shower. And I'M gonna say, I've got to say it would be so

funny if this is what takes trump down. Huh, can you imagine? He tried to overthrow the government, but then they get him for lying about having an in unit washer dryer. It's like that's the thing that locks him up. And 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 and also from dawn junr and and also from Ivanka, but but Eric Actually, actually, yeah, he seems like the Kara Guy who would do this. All right, let's move on to some international news, and it's about Ukraine. We want to begin this morning with that breaking news out of Russia. Overnight, Vladimir Putin doubling down in his war against Ukraine. VIBRARY 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 three thousand military reserves to active duty. Vladimir Putin's being pushed into a corner warning the waist. He still has weapons of mass destruction, read that as nuclear and he's prepared to use them, because we will use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and people. He said this is not a bluff. 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. To be fair, this is not a bluff. Is what someone who's bluffing would say. Yeah, it wouldn't be very effective if he was like all, nuke entire world, but I am bluffing, so don't lorry. By the way, I know this is random, but I found it funny that he has the two landlines behind him in the victor. No, I mean like I get the one, the one. Maybe that's what like the nuclear

codes Sayway, but what's the other line for's? He also like a part time telemarketers. Just like Mr Andrew Bob, I'm preparing for Nuclear War, which is why in life and shorts is very important right now. Could I throw the shield through it, poem. You know, one of the most frustrating things about this war is that the only reason it's still going on is because Vladimir Putin is trying to save face, right. He just he just doesn't want to be seen to be losing. And it made

me wonder, do you think Putin knows how to lose? Like, do you think he knows how? Because think about it, the Dude plays an annual hockey game with the Russian team. lets him score thirty two goals, 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 it's almost like when parents let their kids win everything and when they're like wow, billy,

you ran so fast, you win again. Then the kid grows up thinking that losing isn't a part of life. All right. That's why, when I raised my four year old nephew last weekend, I smoked his ass. Bamn, let him in the dust. Yeah, then I gave him a rematch and I smoked his ass again. I mean, yes, he cried, yes he cried, but you know what he won't do? Invade Ukraine. Yeah, all right. Finally, let's turn to the world of sports, where some really exciting stuff

going on. In baseball, Aaron judge is on a historic home run. Chear crushing it out there. In football, the giants won a game. But the most exciting us of all he's coming out of the NBA, 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. Okay, okay, who

it is? Lebron Jays? I love it. This is a dope. Look no one that's making use Lebron James. Not only does he look better, this is gonna be trouble for the rest of the lead. Can you imagine a more Aerodynamic Lebron? He's gonna be unstoppable. Two points. I'm calling it right now. I'm glad Lebron did this. I'm glad proud of him, because his hair kept on receiving further and further back. There's nothing wrong with that, but it just was, you know, he's Lyne was so far back.

Steph carry was hitting threes from behind. It grandy, disrespectful, steph double. For Real. He looks it. I like it, slick, got the bed. In fact, it's so good it's inspired me to do it too. That's right, the time has come. Thank you, Lebron. Example. No, I'm guys, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Calm down, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. God blessed me. Come down. All right, that's it for the headlines, but before we go, let's check it on traffic without very arms. Why would

you everybody while this goes? What's happening in the traffic? Oh my dog, dog, it's crazy, man. He's the police. They chasing some dude. He stole a party bus. Man, this ship is wild, zigzagging all out of traffic. He pulled over early and let all the strippers out. That is a gentleman. You don't see that kind of chivalry. No more hunt and I've been I've been. I've been on this type of party bus before. That's a Chevrolet.

Gas Mileage on that one seek about fourteen. If it's empty, they can be rolling this chase, Michael, another four hours. This is this is why is that happening right now? Where's this? This? This is from eight months ago. I just figured this is more interesting than whatever you want me to talk about. Me, it's more interesting. Roy Traffic is interesting. Yeah, that's why I'm watching it. This is not the traffic. Roy People want to know what's happening

on the road. Do the traffic. Why don't? Why do you never want to do the traffic? All right, you want, you want to regular traffic. Can we do the traffic, regular traffic? You have it now. Is that interesting? I want you to tell me that. An like tell me what's happening. What's going on? Fine, fine, I tell you what's happen. Look, James Bond, you said they gotta. They're looking for a new James Bond. Right, yea, I sent him a resume. We're gonna see what's happening. Who Do

you like? Who Do you want? Who? Who Do you think should be the new James Bond? Well, yeah, that they cost him now and uh, I hope it's interest about. I'm not gonna laugh all now. I know that's your boy. No disrespect, but I just don't think that. You know, I love it yourself. I'm just not sure if now it's the time to drop a black James Bond on white people. They're really sensitive right now. White people. They get sensitive right now. They they they lost their queen.

You just can you just can't drop up black James when the weekend you already saw what happened with a little mermaid. We did a little mermaid. Look half a fish. We took half a fish. We almost didn't survive the wait. You can't hum back and take James Bond right after that. You can't do that. Man. See this, this, this is what Y'all forget. Bro James Bond is the white man's dream job. It's a dream drive for a white man.

He traveled, he drink on the job, he gets to shoot people, he don't get in trouble for it, no paperwork and you get to have a whole lot of sex. Ain't had an STD when? When? Last time? When the last time you saw James Bond by e condom? You my car. It's a dream job. So if we take that from white men, it's gonna be backlash and I just don't know if I'm ready for the backlash that will come from getting a black James, because if we mess with their classics, they're gonna mess with our classics.

That's what's gonna Happen. Do you want to lose the classics? Do you want to lose with ice ice cube and Chris Tucker created any come there? Do you want a white Friday? Because that's what's gonna Happen if we get up 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 the hood with Timp, with Timothy Chow, met child, challenge, child, how you say his name? You know the one. You know the one I'm talking about.

So what are you saying? I'm saying, and that you know, if it's already a movie, let white people have it, all right. Just worry about the new stuff that's coming along. Here's the thing. We talked about diversity and film and all this ship. The secret to turn in white characters black is that you gotta strategically do it from the books, then nobody noticed. Would you change your book character into a different race on screen? Talking about it? Because people

don't read books. Nobody to be reading your book is still like in The New York Times bestseller. How long ago did your book? You know how many books then came out? Sayce your book? That's how much people don't read. They ain't even buy the movie books. They would just re read your book over and over there. That makes no chance. What question? What are you what is your points fact? 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, nobody cares. It's already been happening for decades. Morgan Freeman, Shaw Shankra dips in the book. That is a white character, like, for Real, for Real, I'm dead. Asked Morgan Freeman's character and Shaw Shank redemption was written as a white man. Same thing. Jackie Brown, the home of Pam Grill, much respect to Pam Grib the book that that movie is

based on, was a white woman. Wo Yeah, you don't. You flip the book into the blackness. That's how you do it. I get one more. I get one more. The book confess Fletch, you know, the fletch movie, to the franchise? Yes, in the in the new did the confess fletch the new and the COP that's investigating fletch in the book is a white man. But who did they cast and confess fletch? Who, I was saying, representation?

Did you representation? Did you? Did you take us on this whole journey just to promote your new movie with on happening? Is that? Is that all this whole thing was about? Come on, dog, I would never come on this show and promote confess fletch, currently in theaters and available on deman and after that on the showtime paramount

plus Bonder. Why would I do that? That's disrespectful, Bro what I'm saying is that if we were trying to boil representation down to solely black faces telling white stories and but it's more than that. It's about black faces telling original stories. So just give us more that. Like like you. Like Indris Elba, cool, I like indriest Elba. So rather than indress Elba playing James Bond, what I would like to see is something in the same field. You know, you could have him with a gun and

he's a smooth talker with the ladies. But, but, but he's in Harlem right as a Harlem, and now that's a that's a fresh idea. And they leather jacket too. Here, leather jacket and Harlem and he's, you know, fighting crime. You made that. I did not make ship shot. I made you come up with stop shot. That's a different that. You're talking about shoft. My movie is called Shoft. Is Different. He put the little thing over the aid. Would Junior, everybody show. But when we come back to say Sloan

is gonna find out what black people don't do. So don't go away, welcome back to day shows. You know, there are a lot of stereotypes about what black people in America like and what they don't. But Dul say Sloan breaks down those stereotypes in our brand new segments. We don't do that. She placed her hand on his throbbing M H Oh, Hello, I'm duel saying and I'm here to take you on a journey. But first, what do these things have in common? Go Yoga, eye 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's stuff. Right. Wrong. I traveled far and wide and I've discovered their own pockets of black people who like to partake in such Caucasian activities. So sit down, relax and get some damn popcorn, because this ship is crazy. Here it is another installment of we don't do that's good. In this segment we're looking at mountaineers. Now that 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. Oh No, see y'all, see these nails you got me missed. Go out expensive. Once I finally got them off that Damn Wall, I asked the

only question on my mind. Why? Why? Why? You know, realistically, I think the Y is because we've all been climbing for a number of years now and all of our past just 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 that you can't talk about the lack

of diversity. There is a lack of representation of black people doing these things, and for good reason. Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, meaning it's deadly as hell. In fact, out of the over ten thousand successful summits that have been recorded on Everest, fewer than ten of those climbers have been black. So what are some Commons you all get when people find out you

all the mountaineers? Oh, black people don't do that, black people don't do snow, we don't ski, we don't do camping. It's like, oh l we don't do that, and 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. They don't believe that

your 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 it's because you're a woman and they don't realize that I'm a vendor of a lot of climbing equipment, yet despite all that, they're still climbing. Even no one ship like this could happen. It's an inhospitable place. People are not meant to live there. Okay,

I'm just glad you know that. Just nature was like, Hey, get down. There is lesser air as well after a certain point over, you know Ft. yes, you need oxygen, so you have to bring your own air to outside, but that's where all the air lives. Yes, ma'am. What else? Avalanches? Okay, so, just to get this straight, so avalanche, Frost Bite of various areas, running out of air. So fainting, dying, brain swelling. How do you know your brain is swallen? You could

go blind, like you can't see. Why y'all doing this again? Just seems like this doesn't explain to me what's on the top of this mountain. Best View in the world, the joy of like just digging deep and pushing yourself. That's what so much of this is about, is that journey and is the process. It is going through, that process, being transformed by it and hopefully, Oh hell of a lot more black and Brown folks with all of your

appendages still attached. Have you considered glamping. People don't even know the things that they can do until they're exposed to it come to what we do. But, um, that's why you're here to join us and get together, to 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. Um, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. So this team that's training for Everest wants me to join them on a fun little Colorado hike on a

mountain outside. It's now on time and very little air. All Right, I think we've gone far enough. I'm gonna take a take a quick break. We've only been walking ten minutes. You see, you a high yeah, I just need to get into some essentials. You know, I'll be honest, I've never seen a sequined backpack before our here in the back country. I got some essential oils, just occation. Or you don't want to get a funky you might, you know, meet a nice man a few things that

she was missing. Water, food, you know, the mountains high, so I need to be high layers. That would help. Yeah, how much? How much further of you doing? Not long at all. Actually, just heard up there. It's been so nice me. I'M gonna have to go back. Listen, I am so proud to know that there are black people out here that are willing to make history and take on this kind of challenge. But the only thing I'm

trying to climb is in your elbow. It turns out we can do this well, not me, with other people like this amazing team, and I'm gonna be celebrating them and cheering them on from inside, on my couch and with all of my openages. No, it's not sharp for helping me down. I'm too hard. It's too hard. Thank you so much for that. Right. Stay tuned, because if we come back, candidate for Texas governor, Bed Rock, will be joining me right here. You don't want to welcome

back to day 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 bed rock. Better all, welcome back to the day show. Thank you for having me back. You are back on the campaign trail, this time for a different position, governor of Texas. It is uh, yeah,

it's an interesting time. To be dealing with politics in Texas, because it feels like everything is happening in and around Texas. So let's let's jump straight into it. You know, you run before. You came super close, you didn't take it. 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, Um, 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 raper. Incest begins at conception. Um, speaking of democracy and the right to vote, it is harder to cast a ballot or get on the roles in Texas and any other state in the union. It's been seventeen weeks since those nineteen kids and two teachers were killed in Uvaldi. Gun violence the leading cause of death for

kids and teenagers in that state. But instead of succumbing to the temptation to despair or submitting to this, Texans are rising up and they're volunteering on this campaign, they're knocking on doors, they're turning out in record numbers and they're gonna win this election in November, which is really a rough random on all these issues. Are we going to be defined by this extremism and our hatred and the way that we make each other afraid of one another?

Are we gonna come together and do big things together? So it's it's an exciting time to be doing this and a great state to be in, and we're gonna win. You know, there there's no there's no denying that you you've always had a charismatic way about you. There's no denying that you've 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. You know, a good example is is the bussing stunt that's happening right now, you know, with Greg Abbott Bussing people to all over the country to prove a point. You're against that. You've spoken out against it multiple times, but more than fifty percent of Texans go yeah, this is the right move because it sends a message to Washington D C. How

do you? You know? How do you how do you work that in your mind, the idea that you are opposed to so many Texans where they say no, this is actually what we want. I actually think that this extremism that we see in our current governor and government in Texas is reflective of the fact that we have a badly broken democracy. Seven million Texans didn't vote in the last election. In seven million who are eligible to

did not. And if a majority right now thinks that busting migrants to D C or Chicago is a good idea, maybe, as you suggested, it's a reflection of the fact that our immigration system is so badly broken and people want

to do something. What I propose, though, is instead of these stunts, which are um so cruel and unkind, not just to those migrants but to those of us who live in Texas, to the Border Patrol agents who we put on their 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 ability to join family and not wait twenty years in line, which is the back of the line in Mexico or India

or the Philippines to come to the US today? What if you were trying to claim asylum, you didn't wait six years for your claim to be adjudicated, which is the current way time? What if Texas led the way in rewriting our immigration laws to reflect our values, our interests, in our needs and we say look, you want to come to this country, you must follow our laws, but our laws will follow our values. I Want Texas to lead on that. It's it's admirable, you know, I I think.

I think it's admirable. I 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. So you know you're out there, you're speaking to people. I know that you knock on doors and talk to people personally.

So 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 their mind and what was it that made them change their mind? It's interesting. We we were in a town called hamp hill in East Texas and in that county they literally have about three percent high speed Internet access, so huge infrastructure problems there. It's a very red Republican Rural County, so half the

group that comes out is Republican. You know, twenty or wearing make America great against shirts and Donald Trump hats on and this guy stands up and asked 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 this line every so often. She worked three jobs because my dad, who was disabled in World War Two fighting for this country, could not work. I started working when I was fourteen

years old. We we played by the rules, we followed the law and I don't know why Batto people are coming in between ports of entry right now and and not following our laws. And I think his anger was legitimate. M His experience was valid and he asked a really good question, and so we talked about you know, is busting migrants fixing this problem at all will know is building a mile and a half of border wall, which is what Greg Abbott has done, helping anything? Well, no,

I guess it's not. Well, what if we address the fact that people have legitimate reasons to want to come here to work or to join family or to seek asylum in a country that is comprised by and large of asylum seekers and refugees and what if we in Texas, you, as a Republican, and I, as a Democrat, actually lead

on this issue? And he's nodding his head and comes over at the end of the meeting, shakes my hand and says, you know what, you might have earned my vote by coming out here to hemp hill and having this conversation. So it works. So dialogue works. How do you then bring people together true solve an issue that you know, you talk about in this book the fights for voting rights. Where America is particularly divided right now

is how the policies view the issue of voting. You Have Donald Trump and the Republicans saying that the re election was stolen, there were millions of illegal votes. None of this has been proven. In fact the opposite has been proven, you know. And and then at the same time you have Republicans saying, well, if if Democrats say that we should accept the elections, why don't they accept the elections? You know, after they lose, Stacey Abrams will say it wasn't legitimate. You know, how do you then

break that? How do you get beyond that dialogue to even begin the conversation of having everybody votes? It helps for me at least to understand that not only can we do what you just described, Um, we've done it before against much longer odds. One of the stories that I tell in this book we've got to try, is about a black doctor, Nel Passo Lawrence Nixon, who never missed an election until the democratic controlled legislature in ninety

three outlaws voting by black Texas. Nonetheless, he pays his poll tax the next year shows up. They say, Dr Nixon, you know we can't let you vote and he says,

I know you can't, but I've got to try. For the next twenty years he fights this battle, a very lonely one, takes it to the Supreme Court, wins two signal victories there and by ninety four he's helped to integrate elections once again in Texas and has laid the path for lb j to work on and ultimately signed the Voting Rights Act into law in nineteen sixty five. So if that guy could do it against those odds, and who were we now in Texas who have inherited

his sacrifice and his service and his struggle? We can't squander it. We have to build on it and make sure that we win it back. So in our campaign we're targeting the very voters who are themselves the targets of suppression intimidation, to bring them in and make them the margin of victory on election night. We're gonna get our democracy back. It's a both difficult monsters of trying

well for the best of luck. Thank of Someonech for joining on the show and trapping them out to try a though they're not better, or we want to say, the quickreak. We'll be right back. Thank you again.
