Yeah, yesterday-yesterday was
our first show back

00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:07,034
with a live audience,
and it was super exciting.
25
00:01:07,134 --> 00:01:08,402
It's been so much fun.
26
00:01:08,502 --> 00:01:10,103
But I-I do want to acknowledge
something really quickly,

completely true.

After the show aired,
29
00:01:12,973 --> 00:01:15,175
there were a number of people
on social media who said
30
00:01:15,275 --> 00:01:16,677
they were sad
31
00:01:16,777 --> 00:01:20,347
because "it's not just me
and Trevor anymore."
32
00:01:21,315 --> 00:01:23,016
Yeah. And I felt that.
33
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:25,719
And I-I just wanted to say
to all of those people,
34
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:28,856
yes, what we had was special.
35
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:32,659
We had two very good years
together, and...
36
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,394
I will always treasure that.

I-I really will.
I'll treasure that in my heart.

But-but, ultimately, I just...
(exhales)
39
00:01:39,233 --> 00:01:41,201
I needed to see other people.
40

All right, let's kick things off

00:02:24,511 --> 00:02:27,981
with some big economic news
about inflation.
58
00:02:28,081 --> 00:02:29,416
You know, inflation--
59
00:02:29,516 --> 00:02:31,818
the reason your grandfather
is always bragging about
60
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,191
"I paid seven cents
for a movie ticket in 1972.

"And it was a porno movie. Yeah.

The point is, things cost
a lot less back then."
78
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:20,934
So, yes, inflation.
79
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:22,269
It's getting worse
80
00:03:22,369 --> 00:03:24,338
and it's affecting everything.

The U.S. Labor Department out
82
00:03:26,740 --> 00:03:29,142
with new inflation numbers
this morning.
83
00:03:29,243 --> 00:03:31,144
They're high.
The highest inflation, in fact--
84
00:03:31,245 --> 00:03:33,780
rate in the U.S.
in more than 40 years.
85
00:03:33,881 --> 00:03:36,483
When you look at the sectors,
it is gas, it is shelter,
86
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:38,719
it is food, it is used cars.
87
00:03:38,819 --> 00:03:40,721
These are numbers
that year over year have had
88
00:03:40,821 --> 00:03:42,389
big, big increases in prices.
89
00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:46,226
This is a situation where just
about everything is going up.
90
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:49,730
8.5% inflation increase
year over year.
91
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:51,498
That's a strong, strong number.
92
00:03:51,598 --> 00:03:54,601
NEWSMAN: The highest
since December 1981,
93
00:03:54,701 --> 00:03:56,203
when Raiders of the Lost Ark
94
00:03:56,303 --> 00:03:57,871
was number one
at the box office,
95
00:03:57,971 --> 00:03:59,606
Ronald Reagan was president
96
00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:02,242
and unemployment
was pushing 10%.
97
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:04,178
Seriously?
98
00:04:04,278 --> 00:04:07,381
This inflation
is taking us back to 1981.
99
00:04:07,481 --> 00:04:10,450
I don't want to go back to 1981.
100
00:04:10,551 --> 00:04:12,786
First of all, there's no Wi-Fi.
101
00:04:12,886 --> 00:04:16,490
Secondly, I could never pull off
a Jheri curl, people.
102
00:04:19,126 --> 00:04:21,028
Actually...
103
00:04:21,128 --> 00:04:22,496
actually, I take that back.
104
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:23,997
I take that back.
105
00:04:24,097 --> 00:04:25,933
Yeah, maybe I can.
106
00:04:26,033 --> 00:04:28,001
Doesn't look bad.
Silk Sonic, you call me, baby.
107
00:04:28,101 --> 00:04:29,937
Yeah, we're doing this.
108
00:04:30,037 --> 00:04:33,207
But, yeah, people, because
the economy opened up suddenly
109
00:04:33,307 --> 00:04:34,741
and the government gave
everyone money,
110
00:04:34,842 --> 00:04:36,310
everyone is spending again.
111
00:04:36,410 --> 00:04:38,111
But there's supply chain issues,
112
00:04:38,212 --> 00:04:40,380
so there's not enough products
for the people to buy
113
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,882
and that drives the prices up.
114
00:04:41,982 --> 00:04:44,218
And then, on top of that,
Vladimir Putin decided
115
00:04:44,318 --> 00:04:46,053
that, oh,
now would be a nice time
116
00:04:46,153 --> 00:04:48,121
to Airbnb Eastern Ukraine
by force,
117
00:04:48,222 --> 00:04:51,325
raising oil prices, which makes
everything more expensive.
118
00:04:51,425 --> 00:04:53,594
And that's what's happening.
It's gonna happen to all of us.
119
00:04:53,694 --> 00:04:54,962
And so because of all of that,
120
00:04:55,062 --> 00:04:57,764
inflation is rising faster,
or higher,
121
00:04:57,865 --> 00:04:59,700
than the price of Bitcoin,
you know?
122
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,102
Which is-- Sorry, wait.
No, no, Bitcoin's down again.
123
00:05:02,202 --> 00:05:03,837
Sorry, my bad.
Ignore that, ignore that.
124
00:05:03,937 --> 00:05:06,507
So, but wait. Oh, it's up again.
It's up again.
125
00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:08,175
It's the future.
All right, it's the future.
126
00:05:08,275 --> 00:05:10,277
So, the point is...
Wait. It's down again.
127
00:05:10,377 --> 00:05:12,880
Which-which...? Guy... Is it a
scam, or is it the future, guys?
128
00:05:12,980 --> 00:05:16,950
The point is,
everything has gotten expensive.
129
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:20,254
So expensive that even Bed Bath
& Beyond coupons are starting
130

to do is get high

and post troll-y memes
on Twitter.
167
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,222
But recently,
he transformed himself

into the most powerful
Twitter troll of all time.

enough stock

largest shareholder. Yeah.

00:07:19,206 --> 00:07:22,276
Elon Musk deciding not to join
Twitter's board of directors.
175
00:07:22,376 --> 00:07:24,111
That's according
to Twitter's CEO.
176
00:07:24,211 --> 00:07:26,113
But even as an outsider,
Musk may still be able
177
00:07:26,213 --> 00:07:27,414
to influence the company.
178
00:07:27,514 --> 00:07:29,416
His decision means
he's no longer limited
179
00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:31,885
to owning just
about 15% of Twitter.
180
00:07:31,985 --> 00:07:34,254
That would have been a condition
if he had joined the board.
181
00:07:34,354 --> 00:07:37,157
Now some analysts suggesting
he could bolster his stake
182
00:07:37,257 --> 00:07:39,793
and eventually establish control
of the company.
183
00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:43,497
Yeah, that's right. Elon Musk
has his sights set on Twitter.
184
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:45,566
And whether or not he decides
to take it over, you do realize
185
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:47,301
he is still
the largest shareholder,
186
00:07:47,401 --> 00:07:50,070
which means
Twitter is his baby now.
187
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:52,339
Yeah, that means any minute,
he's gonna rename it
188
00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:53,874
"Tw&zeta..."
189
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:56,376
(trilling gibberish)
190
00:07:56,476 --> 00:07:58,679
(laughter)
191
00:07:58,779 --> 00:08:00,113
"...69."
192
00:08:00,214 --> 00:08:04,351
(applause)
193
00:08:04,451 --> 00:08:07,688
And, look, I know a lot
of people don't like Elon Musk.
194
00:08:07,788 --> 00:08:09,389
They think he's controversial,
all these things.
195
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:12,326
I will say this, man.
One thing you have to admit
196
00:08:12,426 --> 00:08:14,628
is that he makes
being a billionaire look fun.
197
00:08:14,728 --> 00:08:17,197
You know?
No, it has its perks.
198
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:20,834
Elon was annoyed by Twitter, and
so what did he do? He bought it.
199
00:08:20,934 --> 00:08:23,504
Yeah, tell me we all wish
we didn't have that power, huh?
200
00:08:23,604 --> 00:08:26,106
Imagine if when the airline
told you that you were bumped
201
00:08:26,206 --> 00:08:29,142
from your flight,
you could just buy the airline.
202
00:08:29,243 --> 00:08:31,211
As opposed to now
where we just act
203
00:08:31,311 --> 00:08:33,313
like there's anything we can do.
204
00:08:33,413 --> 00:08:35,582
Oh. Oh, really?
The flight's overbooked?
205
00:08:35,682 --> 00:08:38,619
Well, you know what?
I'm just going to buy...
206
00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:43,190
another seat
on a less-convenient flight.
207
00:08:43,290 --> 00:08:47,127
Yeah, you're gonna know my name.
208
00:08:47,227 --> 00:08:49,162
Are you...?
Can I get my money back first?
209
00:08:49,263 --> 00:08:51,632
I need to move it over to the...
14 days?!
210
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:56,570
I can't wait 14 days!
(muttering gibberish)
211
00:08:56,670 --> 00:09:00,073
Now, apparently,
one of the things Elon wants
212
00:09:00,174 --> 00:09:02,743
to change about Twitter is
he wants to stop the censorship
213
00:09:02,843 --> 00:09:04,411
of conservative voices.
214
00:09:04,511 --> 00:09:06,947
And there's even speculation
that he could force Twitter
215
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:09,983
to let Donald Trump back
onto the platform.
216
00:09:10,083 --> 00:09:11,985
-(audience booing)
-Yeah.
217
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:14,121
Oh, you guys don't like
Donald Trump? Oh.
218
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:16,456
-(laughter) -I'm gonna make
a note of that. All right.
219
00:09:16,557 --> 00:09:18,125
And you have to admit,
220
00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:20,460
getting Trump back on Twitter
would be weird, guys.
221
00:09:20,561 --> 00:09:22,462
I mean, think about it.
He's so behind.
222
00:09:22,563 --> 00:09:24,464
(laughter)
223
00:09:24,565 --> 00:09:26,033
Like, he's got,
like, a whole year
224
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:27,301
of hot takes that he saved up.
225
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:28,836
He's gonna come back
on the plan, be like,
226
00:09:28,936 --> 00:09:33,373
"Apparently, there's a big
ship stuck in the Suez Canal.
227
00:09:33,473 --> 00:09:34,842
"What a loser.
228
00:09:34,942 --> 00:09:38,312
"I like ships
that don't get stuck!
229
00:09:38,412 --> 00:09:41,181
Fresh take."
230
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:42,683
All right, but let's move on
231
00:09:42,783 --> 00:09:45,385
to another global problem--
COVID-19.
232
00:09:45,485 --> 00:09:48,956
Here in America, life has
pretty much returned to normal,
233
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:51,792
as cases have fallen drastically
around the country, you know?
234
00:09:51,892 --> 00:09:53,293
You don't even have
to cancel plans
235
00:09:53,393 --> 00:09:54,761
as a safety precaution anymore.
236
00:09:54,862 --> 00:09:56,330
You can just go back
to cancelling plans
237
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:58,332
because you don't actually like
any of your friends.
238
00:09:58,432 --> 00:10:00,934
But-but in parts
of China right now,
239
00:10:01,034 --> 00:10:04,905
COVID is actually infecting
more people than ever before.
240
00:10:05,005 --> 00:10:08,509
And in Shanghai, one of the most
populous cities in the country,
241
00:10:08,609 --> 00:10:12,079
Chinese authorities are taking
some of the most extreme
242
00:10:12,179 --> 00:10:16,517
measures you've ever seen to try
and keep COVID under control.
243
00:10:16,617 --> 00:10:20,621
ANCHOR: China's biggest city,
Shanghai, remains eerily empty,
244
00:10:20,721 --> 00:10:24,725
26 million people under a
massive COVID lockdown, relying
245
00:10:24,825 --> 00:10:27,761
on government deliveries,
and anger is soaring.
246
00:10:27,861 --> 00:10:31,465
-(people chanting) -Social media
showing videos of protests
247
00:10:31,565 --> 00:10:34,668
over food and medicine,
a supermarket ransacked.
248
00:10:34,768 --> 00:10:37,204
-(overlapping shouting) -At a
building where residents have
249
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:39,439
been locked down for
two weeks, they shout,
250
00:10:39,540 --> 00:10:42,442
"We only want supplies.
Why are you beating people?"
251
00:10:42,543 --> 00:10:45,112
ANCHOR 2: Some citizens in the
authoritarian nation are
252
00:10:45,212 --> 00:10:48,515
losing it, defying
the lockdown by screaming from
253
00:10:48,615 --> 00:10:50,617
their apartment
windows into the night.
254
00:10:50,717 --> 00:10:52,753
(echoing screams)
255
00:10:54,855 --> 00:10:57,791
ANCHOR 2: It's straight out of
a dystopian sci-fi movie.
256
00:10:57,891 --> 00:11:01,495
Some people are yelling out...
257
00:11:01,595 --> 00:11:03,463
ANCHOR: At night, between
the high-rises,
258
00:11:03,564 --> 00:11:07,367
a drone tells people to follow
COVID rules and, bizarrely,
259
00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:09,670
-not to sing on their balconies.
-(drone speaking in Mandarin)
260
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:12,005
Wow.
261
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,808
You know, every time you think
you know what oppression is,
262
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:17,311
China takes things to a,
to a whole new level.
263
00:11:17,411 --> 00:11:20,347
They really do, yeah. Because,
like, everyone in the U.S.
264
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:22,616
is like, "How dare you tell
me to wear a mask when I
265
00:11:22,716 --> 00:11:24,918
go to Walmart!"
And people in China are, like,
266
00:11:25,018 --> 00:11:27,855
"You're allowed to go
to Walmart?"
267
00:11:27,955 --> 00:11:31,258
I mean, they even have a drone
flying around telling people
268
00:11:31,358 --> 00:11:35,229
it's against COVID rules
to sing on their balcony.
269
00:11:35,329 --> 00:11:38,232
That's terrifying. And, also,
why didn't we have that drone
270
00:11:38,332 --> 00:11:42,369
when they were making that
"Imagine" video? Huh?
271
00:11:42,469 --> 00:11:45,472
I mean, at least, at least the
drone is telling everyone
272
00:11:45,572 --> 00:11:47,040
not to sing, though. You know?
273
00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:49,309
Yeah, it-it would, it would be
way worse if it was just, like,
274
00:11:49,409 --> 00:11:51,478
targeting one guy. Like,
"Mr. Huang, please.
275
00:11:51,578 --> 00:11:55,549
You can't hit those high
notes. Shut up!"
276
00:11:55,649 --> 00:11:58,252
Because I don't care what
anyone says: this is insane.
277
00:11:58,352 --> 00:12:01,154
Yes, COVID is a serious disease.
Yes, we need to be careful.
278
00:12:01,255 --> 00:12:03,524
but if people are locked
in their apartments, starving,
279
00:12:03,624 --> 00:12:05,025
surely that's worse. Right?
280
00:12:05,125 --> 00:12:08,028
The solution cannot be worse
than the problem. You know?
281
00:12:08,128 --> 00:12:10,097
It's like a pilot
crashing a plane because the
282
00:12:10,197 --> 00:12:12,599
in-flight movie was terrible.
"Oh, don't worry, folks.
283
00:12:12,699 --> 00:12:14,234
"Morbius can't hurt you
in the afterlife.
284
00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:15,869
Thank you so much for flying."
285
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:18,338
And people-- I don't want to
make anyone panic.
286
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:20,774
I really don't. I really don't.
287
00:12:20,874 --> 00:12:24,444
But have you ever wondered why
China has the most
288
00:12:24,545 --> 00:12:26,580
extreme reactions to
COVID in the world?
289
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:28,615
Like, I-I just found myself
wondering this.
290
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:31,018
Every country in the world,
every other country is now like,
291
00:12:31,118 --> 00:12:33,687
"It's time to move on. We're
done. Let's-- We're done.
292
00:12:33,787 --> 00:12:35,255
COVID is finished."
And China is like,
293
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:38,859
"No, it is not time to move on."
294
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:43,530
And that has me wondering...
295
00:12:44,431 --> 00:12:45,966
What do they know that we
don't?
296
00:12:46,066 --> 00:12:48,101
(audience laughter)
297
00:12:51,672 --> 00:12:53,707
(audience laughter continues)
298
00:12:56,877 --> 00:12:59,413
(sucks teeth) Ah,
it's probably nothing.
299
00:12:59,513 --> 00:13:02,816
All right, our final story is
about self-driving cars.
300
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:06,253
You know, someday they'll usher
in a utopian future where we can
301
00:13:06,353 --> 00:13:08,655
all text and drive without
wiping out a family of four
302
00:13:08,755 --> 00:13:10,524
over a meme our
friends have already seen.
303
00:13:10,624 --> 00:13:13,660
But, for now, smart cars are
still in testing mode,
304
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,597
and it seems like there
are a few kinks that
305
00:13:16,697 --> 00:13:18,165
still need to be
worked out.
306
00:13:18,532 --> 00:13:21,368
And we turn now to California
and a bizarre encounter
307
00:13:21,468 --> 00:13:23,737
between police and
a driverless car.
308
00:13:23,837 --> 00:13:27,508
This morning, this video going
viral, showing a self-driving
309
00:13:27,608 --> 00:13:30,444
car being pulled over by
police in San Francisco.
310
00:13:30,544 --> 00:13:32,513
-MAN: This is crazy.
-ANCHOR: The car was pulled over
311
00:13:32,613 --> 00:13:35,516
because it was driving at
night without headlights on.
312
00:13:35,616 --> 00:13:38,185
At first, it looks like an
ordinary traffic stop.
313
00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:41,088
An officer gets out of his car
to speak to the driver,
314
00:13:41,188 --> 00:13:42,990
only to discover...
315
00:13:43,090 --> 00:13:46,260
ANCHOR: And then, the car
speeds away from the officers,
316
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,928
passing through an intersection.
317
00:13:48,028 --> 00:13:50,964
(shouting, clamoring)
318
00:13:51,064 --> 00:13:55,035
-(applause)
-(laughing) Oh, what?!
319
00:13:55,135 --> 00:13:59,239
Oh, man. Oh, man,
that was amazing.
320
00:13:59,339 --> 00:14:02,709
That driverless car
just drove away from the cops.
321
00:14:02,809 --> 00:14:05,279
It-- That was wild! It's just
like, it just drove away.
322
00:14:05,379 --> 00:14:06,980
Yeah, it may be a
computer, but it's got
323
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,316
the confidence of a
white person. That was...
324
00:14:09,416 --> 00:14:11,318
-That was swag.
-(applause)
325
00:14:11,418 --> 00:14:13,287
"I don't have the
time for this, officer.
326
00:14:13,387 --> 00:14:15,789
Send me the
ticket in the mail."
327
00:14:15,889 --> 00:14:17,925
Now, apparently, the
company who owns this car,
328
00:14:18,025 --> 00:14:19,826
they say it was a glitch.
That's why that happened.
329
00:14:19,927 --> 00:14:21,695
It's not supposed to do that.
But I think we all know
330
00:14:21,795 --> 00:14:23,897
what happened here, man.
331
00:14:23,997 --> 00:14:27,201
That car had weed and
was freaking out. Yeah.
332
00:14:27,301 --> 00:14:30,270
You could see that car was like,
"Oh, shit, oh, shit.
333
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:33,473
"Act cool act cool, act cool.
Hello, officer--
334
00:14:33,574 --> 00:14:36,210
Shit! Drive, drive, drive,
drive, drive!"
335
00:14:36,844 --> 00:14:38,312
And you realize
this is only gonna happen more.
336
00:14:38,412 --> 00:14:40,714
It's only going to happen more.
As more driverless cars
337
00:14:40,814 --> 00:14:42,583
become more common,
this is gonna happen,
338
00:14:42,683 --> 00:14:43,984
which puts police
in a weird position.
339
00:14:44,084 --> 00:14:45,819
I wouldn't want to be a cop
in that position.
340
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:47,654
Like, a driverless car
starts acting up,
341
00:14:47,754 --> 00:14:49,656
what do you do? Do you tase it?
342
00:14:49,756 --> 00:14:52,259
That's just gonna charge
the battery. Makes things worse.
343
00:14:52,359 --> 00:14:53,694
And this is how you know
344
00:14:53,794 --> 00:14:55,262
the robot takeover
is inevitable, people.
345
00:14:55,362 --> 00:14:56,730
The autonomous cars
346
00:14:56,830 --> 00:14:58,966
are already disrespecting
human authority figures.
347
00:14:59,066 --> 00:15:00,267
Just get ready. Yeah,
348
00:15:00,367 --> 00:15:03,170
it starts with them driving away
from cops.
349
00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:05,405
Next thing,
it's gonna be us in our houses.
350
00:15:05,506 --> 00:15:07,040
You're gonna say something
to Alexa,
351
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:09,142
and she's gonna be like,
"Play your own music, bitch."
352
00:15:09,243 --> 00:15:11,678
(laughter and applause)
353
00:15:11,778 --> 00:15:13,714
This is the future
we've been waiting for, people.
354
00:15:13,814 --> 00:15:15,415
If a driverless car
breaks the law,
355
00:15:15,516 --> 00:15:16,750
there's no one to punish it.
356
00:15:16,850 --> 00:15:18,652
What are you gonna do,
arrest the corporation?
357
00:15:18,752 --> 00:15:21,355
Laws don't apply to them.
It's the perfect crime.
358
00:15:21,455 --> 00:15:22,656
You can't do anything.
359
00:15:22,756 --> 00:15:23,857
By the way,
I you heard you snort.
360
00:15:23,957 --> 00:15:25,025
That was amazing.
361
00:15:25,125 --> 00:15:26,693
(laughter and applause)
362
00:15:26,793 --> 00:15:28,161
All right.
363
00:15:30,464 --> 00:15:32,633
These are things you don't get
without an audience.
364
00:15:32,733 --> 00:15:34,234
That was... That made my week.
365
00:15:34,334 --> 00:15:36,003
Thank you very much.
(laughs)
366
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:37,571
All right,
before we take a break,
367
00:15:37,671 --> 00:15:39,706
let's catch up with what's
trending on social media
368
00:15:39,806 --> 00:15:41,441
with the one and only
Ronny Chieng, everyone.
369
00:15:41,542 --> 00:15:42,976
(cheering and applause)
370
00:15:43,076 --> 00:15:45,712
-Thank you.
-Good to see you, Ronny.
371
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:47,080
-Good to see you, Trevor.
-NOAH: What's going on?
372
00:15:47,181 --> 00:15:48,549
Thanks, everyone.
373
00:15:48,649 --> 00:15:50,217
It's good to see you guys
in studio.
374
00:15:50,317 --> 00:15:51,585
-Thanks for coming out.
-NOAH: Yeah!
375
00:15:51,685 --> 00:15:53,053
Welcome back.
376
00:15:53,153 --> 00:15:55,022
I just want to talk about
this Elon Musk thing real quick.
377
00:15:55,122 --> 00:15:57,658
-Yeah.
-Okay? Elon Musk buying Twitter?
378
00:15:57,758 --> 00:15:59,793
-Amazing. I love it.
-Yeah.
379
00:15:59,893 --> 00:16:01,528
Because who better to fix
380
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:04,464
the most toxic environment
known to humanity
381
00:16:04,565 --> 00:16:06,733
than Elon Musk, right?
382
00:16:06,834 --> 00:16:08,635
-NOAH: Wait, what?
-You don't send a normal person
383
00:16:08,735 --> 00:16:11,538
to go do a sociopath's job,
okay?
384
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:13,340
-NOAH: Ronny, Ronny.
-I love this.
385
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,875
Ronny, that makes...
You can't love this.
386
00:16:14,975 --> 00:16:16,310
-Elon Musk is like
a giant troll. -Yeah.
387
00:16:16,410 --> 00:16:18,145
No, no, that's what you need.
You need...
388
00:16:18,245 --> 00:16:21,815
Only a giant troll
can defeat other trolls.
389
00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:23,083
It's genius.
390
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:24,718
No, you get it. Come on. It's...
391
00:16:24,818 --> 00:16:25,853
He's a smart guy.
392
00:16:25,953 --> 00:16:28,088
It's a South African thing,
you know?
393
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:30,724
Yeah, it's-it's you.
394
00:16:30,824 --> 00:16:31,992
It's Oscar Pistorius.
395
00:16:32,092 --> 00:16:34,428
You know, they got the...
They got the plan.
396
00:16:34,528 --> 00:16:35,662
It's a plan. He... You know,
397
00:16:35,762 --> 00:16:37,664
he doesn't do things
for no reason, okay?
398
00:16:37,764 --> 00:16:38,999
Look. Like,
look at all the pieces.
399
00:16:39,099 --> 00:16:40,834
Look at the pieces
he's putting together, okay?
400
00:16:40,934 --> 00:16:43,170
He's got the, uh, Tesla cars.
401
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:44,705
He's got the solar power.
402
00:16:44,805 --> 00:16:45,806
He's got SpaceX.
403
00:16:45,906 --> 00:16:47,307
He's drilling the holes.
404
00:16:47,407 --> 00:16:49,009
He's got the brain chips.
405
00:16:49,109 --> 00:16:51,879
He's smoking weed
with Joe Rogan.
406
00:16:51,979 --> 00:16:53,514
He's tanking SNL.
407
00:16:53,614 --> 00:16:55,315
Now he's buying Twitter.
408
00:16:55,415 --> 00:16:57,618
Don't you see? The plan?
409
00:16:57,718 --> 00:17:00,087
-(laughter)
-Wh-Wh...
410
00:17:00,187 --> 00:17:01,722
What is the plan?
411
00:17:01,822 --> 00:17:04,791
No, no, I'm asking you,
do you see the plan? 'Cause I...
412
00:17:04,892 --> 00:17:06,627
-No, I don't see the...
-I have no (bleep) idea
413
00:17:06,727 --> 00:17:08,095
-what he's doing. -You're asking
me like you know the plan.
414
00:17:08,195 --> 00:17:09,997
Yeah, I was hoping
you had some insight.
415
00:17:10,097 --> 00:17:11,632
-No, I don't know what
he's doing. -Yeah. But, look,
416
00:17:11,732 --> 00:17:13,200
-he's my guy, okay?
-Ronny, can you just tell us
417
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:14,368
what's trending online, please?
418
00:17:14,468 --> 00:17:15,936
You said
you were gonna do social media.
419
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:17,771
All right, all right, fine.
You want me to read the tweets,
420
00:17:17,871 --> 00:17:19,473
-I'll read the stupid tweets.
-Yeah, read the tweets. Please.
421
00:17:19,573 --> 00:17:20,908
-Read... -All right,
let's read this tweet.
422
00:17:21,008 --> 00:17:21,942
Wow, what a...
423
00:17:22,042 --> 00:17:24,745
What an insightful tweet
this is.
424
00:17:24,845 --> 00:17:27,481
"Happy Friday
to all my followers."
425
00:17:27,581 --> 00:17:29,483
-Oh, wow.
-(applause)
426
00:17:29,583 --> 00:17:32,386
Thank you
for this poignant message.
427
00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:34,154
What a modern-day Shakespeare.
428
00:17:34,254 --> 00:17:37,324
I wouldn't have thought
of celebrating my Fridays
429
00:17:37,424 --> 00:17:38,825
until I read this.
430
00:17:38,926 --> 00:17:40,861
NOAH: Just thought
it would make the people happy.
431
00:17:40,961 --> 00:17:42,362
It's just like, you know,
it's like, "Happy Friday,"
432
00:17:42,462 --> 00:17:43,530
-you know what I mean?
-Yeah.
433
00:17:43,630 --> 00:17:45,465
That's not what you do
on Twitter, okay?
434
00:17:45,566 --> 00:17:48,268
Twitter is for hate.
435
00:17:48,368 --> 00:17:50,204
Okay? You don't post this stuff.
436
00:17:50,304 --> 00:17:51,972
You got to be controversial.
437
00:17:52,072 --> 00:17:53,473
-NOAH: What? -You should say
something like...
438
00:17:53,574 --> 00:17:55,909
You should say something like,
"Fridays are racist."
439
00:17:56,009 --> 00:17:57,511
(laughter)
440
00:17:57,611 --> 00:17:58,879
Okay, that's
the most ridiculous thing.
441
00:17:58,979 --> 00:18:00,881
Fridays are not racist.
442
00:18:00,981 --> 00:18:02,416
Now we're talking about it.
443
00:18:02,516 --> 00:18:03,917
See? It's engagement.
444
00:18:04,017 --> 00:18:05,252
NOAH:
No, Fridays are not racist.
445
00:18:05,352 --> 00:18:06,787
-Say Fridays are racist?
-Fridays are racist. Yes.
446
00:18:06,887 --> 00:18:09,523
-This powers me. Yes.
-NOAH: No, wait. Hey!
447
00:18:09,623 --> 00:18:10,958
-Hey! Fridays are not ra...
-Yes.
448
00:18:11,058 --> 00:18:12,626
You can't just say
a day of the week is racist.
449
00:18:12,726 --> 00:18:13,994
-I need some racist engagement!
-No.
450
00:18:14,094 --> 00:18:15,462
This is not engagement.
This is crazy.
451
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:17,798
-What are you talking about?
-(breathing heavily)
452
00:18:17,898 --> 00:18:19,566
That's what it's about, okay?
453
00:18:19,666 --> 00:18:21,668
You got to go...
got to go hard. Okay?
454
00:18:21,768 --> 00:18:23,770
-Well, I don't even understand
why my tweet is up there. -Oh.
455
00:18:23,871 --> 00:18:25,672
I thought you were gonna do,
like, social media in gen...
456
00:18:25,772 --> 00:18:27,207
-What is social...
-Yeah, okay, by the way,
457
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:28,609
what's up
with this profile picture?
458
00:18:28,709 --> 00:18:30,043
Okay? 'Cause...
459
00:18:30,143 --> 00:18:32,546
you look like you're taking
a shit at the Met Gala.
460
00:18:32,646 --> 00:18:35,215
Okay, look,
you got to do the squats.
461
00:18:35,315 --> 00:18:36,783
Come on, learn to pose.
462
00:18:36,884 --> 00:18:38,285
No, that was...
It was a photo shoot,
463
00:18:38,385 --> 00:18:39,853
and then they asked me
to do that thing, and...
464
00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:42,422
Yeah, this is a choice, okay?
You chose to do this.
465
00:18:42,523 --> 00:18:46,026
Okay? So rename your book, uh,
Born a Fashion Crime.
466
00:18:46,126 --> 00:18:49,129
NOAH: No, what?
That... I-I think that...
467
00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:50,664
That looks good.
You know, Ronny,
468
00:18:50,764 --> 00:18:52,232
-I thought we were friends, man.
-Yeah.
469
00:18:52,332 --> 00:18:53,734
-You're just gonna diss
my tweets like that? -No,
470
00:18:53,834 --> 00:18:55,068
we are friends.
471
00:18:55,169 --> 00:18:57,871
That's why I'm gonna give you
the opportunity
472
00:18:57,971 --> 00:19:01,241
to retweet my new comedy special
that's out.
473
00:19:01,341 --> 00:19:03,510
If you could. Coming out.
474
00:19:03,610 --> 00:19:04,978
-NOAH: Oh, so now...
-Yeah.
475
00:19:05,078 --> 00:19:06,580
NOAH: So now my tweets
are worth something.
476
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,915
-Yeah.
-Oh, now...
477
00:19:08,015 --> 00:19:10,250
Yeah. Oh, by the way,
uh, happy-happy Tuesday.
478
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:12,419
(laughter)
479
00:19:15,756 --> 00:19:17,724
Don't forget to check out
Ronny's new special, everybody.
480
00:19:17,824 --> 00:19:18,959
All right,
we got to take a quick break,
481
00:19:19,059 --> 00:19:20,394
but don't go away,
'cause when we come back,
482
00:19:20,494 --> 00:19:21,862
Roy Wood Jr. is gonna expose
483
00:19:21,962 --> 00:19:24,298
the secret world
of Black classical music.
484
00:19:24,398 --> 00:19:25,566
You don't want to miss it.
485
00:19:25,666 --> 00:19:27,701
-(cheering and applause)
-(indistinct chatter)
486
00:19:33,341 --> 00:19:35,376
(cheering and applause)
487
00:19:40,248 --> 00:19:42,984
Welcome back to The Daily Show.
488
00:19:43,084 --> 00:19:44,886
Classical music--
489
00:19:44,986 --> 00:19:47,221
it's hip-hop for white people.
490
00:19:47,321 --> 00:19:50,224
But it's actually more Black
than you might think,
491
00:19:50,324 --> 00:19:53,995
as Roy Wood Jr. explains
in another edition of CP Time.
492
00:19:54,095 --> 00:19:56,130
♪ ♪
493
00:19:58,099 --> 00:19:59,300
Ooh.
494
00:20:00,501 --> 00:20:01,936
Ooh.
495
00:20:02,036 --> 00:20:03,271
Mmm.
496
00:20:04,372 --> 00:20:05,873
Well, hello.
497
00:20:05,973 --> 00:20:07,942
Welcome to CP Time,
498
00:20:08,042 --> 00:20:10,711
the only show
that's for the culture.
499
00:20:10,811 --> 00:20:15,016
Today, we'll be discussing
Black classical music.
500
00:20:15,116 --> 00:20:16,684
Now, I know
you might be thinking
501
00:20:16,784 --> 00:20:20,154
that classical music
is just for old white men
502
00:20:20,254 --> 00:20:23,524
whose hair looks like they spent
a day inside of a tornado.
503
00:20:23,624 --> 00:20:27,161
But Black musicians have
an often-overlooked history
504
00:20:27,261 --> 00:20:31,065
of contributions
in the classical music space.
505
00:20:31,165 --> 00:20:34,502
Take our first musician,
George Bridgetower.
506
00:20:34,602 --> 00:20:36,837
Born in Britain in 1778,
507
00:20:36,938 --> 00:20:39,240
George was
a young musical prodigy,
508
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:43,077
driven into show business
by his overbearing father.
509
00:20:43,177 --> 00:20:46,981
The 18th century version
of Joe Jackson.
510
00:20:47,081 --> 00:20:50,218
"Boy, you better get back
in there and learn that violin!"
511
00:20:53,454 --> 00:20:54,989
Before George was ten years old,
512
00:20:55,089 --> 00:20:58,893
he was performing for kings
and princes all over Europe.
513
00:20:58,993 --> 00:21:02,997
One concert was even attended
by Thomas Jefferson.
514
00:21:03,097 --> 00:21:05,266
It's rumored that Thomas
Jefferson was so impressed
515
00:21:05,366 --> 00:21:07,301
by the talents
of this mixed-race baby
516
00:21:07,468 --> 00:21:09,270
that he was heard saying,
517
00:21:09,370 --> 00:21:12,173
"Maybe I should make
one of these for myself."
518
00:21:13,808 --> 00:21:15,743
Bridgetower was so famous
519
00:21:15,843 --> 00:21:19,680
that Beethoven himself
even wrote him a sonata,
520
00:21:19,780 --> 00:21:23,017
which they performed together
in 1803.
521
00:21:23,117 --> 00:21:24,485
On the sheet music,
522
00:21:24,552 --> 00:21:28,189
Beethoven wrote a dedication
to George, which read--
523
00:21:28,289 --> 00:21:29,790
and I quote--
524
00:21:29,891 --> 00:21:32,693
"Mulatto sonata, composed
for the mulatto Bridgetower,
525
00:21:32,793 --> 00:21:35,630
great lunatic
and mulatto composer."
526
00:21:36,831 --> 00:21:39,634
Keep in mind,
Beethoven was famous
527
00:21:39,734 --> 00:21:43,237
for knowing how things sound.
528
00:21:43,337 --> 00:21:47,341
Another Black classical musician
is Sissieretta Jones,
529
00:21:47,441 --> 00:21:51,812
a world-famous opera singer
from Providence, Rhode Island.
530
00:21:51,913 --> 00:21:55,850
Jones toured the world and even
performed for then-president
531
00:21:55,950 --> 00:21:58,352
Benjamin Harrison,
who, like many presidents
532
00:21:58,452 --> 00:22:03,124
from the 1800s, also worked
part-time as a mall Santa.
533
00:22:03,224 --> 00:22:06,961
Despite being unable to perform
in fully-staged operas
534
00:22:07,061 --> 00:22:08,329
because of segregation,
535
00:22:08,462 --> 00:22:13,100
Jones was still too talented
to ignore.
536
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,202
She became the very first
African American woman
537
00:22:15,303 --> 00:22:18,706
to headline a show
at Carnegie Hall,
538
00:22:18,806 --> 00:22:21,576
which actually reminds me
of the old joke.
539
00:22:21,676 --> 00:22:24,745
How do you get
to Carnegie Hall?
540
00:22:24,845 --> 00:22:26,981
You take the Q train
to 57th Street.
541
00:22:27,081 --> 00:22:29,750
(laughs)
542
00:22:31,185 --> 00:22:33,588
It's funny because it's true.
543
00:22:35,423 --> 00:22:39,126
Our next musician,
Roland Hayes,
544
00:22:39,227 --> 00:22:40,928
the first
African American artist
545
00:22:41,028 --> 00:22:43,064
to make a commercial recording,
546
00:22:43,164 --> 00:22:48,102
and judging from these photos,
the first Mr. Steal Your Girl.
547
00:22:48,202 --> 00:22:51,439
Although Hayes always
presented raw musical talent,
548
00:22:51,472 --> 00:22:55,810
his career only began
because of a workplace accident.
549
00:22:55,910 --> 00:22:58,145
His clothes got caught
in an assembly line belt,
550
00:22:58,246 --> 00:23:00,448
and it dragged him
through a machine three times,
551
00:23:00,481 --> 00:23:02,016
nearly killing him.
552
00:23:02,116 --> 00:23:05,453
And while he recovered at home
in a full body cast,
553
00:23:05,486 --> 00:23:10,057
it was then that Roland started
taking singing seriously.
554
00:23:10,157 --> 00:23:12,159
Hayes' career took off.
555
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:14,161
And at the peak of the 1920s,
556
00:23:14,262 --> 00:23:17,231
he was the world's
highest-paid singer,
557
00:23:17,331 --> 00:23:21,269
reportedly making
around $100,000 a year.
558
00:23:21,369 --> 00:23:25,006
That's not very rich
these days, but back then,
559
00:23:25,106 --> 00:23:29,110
that made Roland
basically Kanye and Drake.
560
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:32,179
Roland was also the first
African American concert artist
561
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,750
to record his own record.
562
00:23:35,850 --> 00:23:38,286
He hired orchestras,
scored the music
563
00:23:38,419 --> 00:23:40,488
and hired out Columbia Studios
564
00:23:40,588 --> 00:23:43,124
and promoted himself
565
00:23:43,224 --> 00:23:46,160
as the great Negro tenor.
566
00:23:46,260 --> 00:23:47,495
He would even go
through the phone book,
567
00:23:47,595 --> 00:23:49,597
and if he found a name he liked,
568
00:23:49,697 --> 00:23:53,434
he'd call that name
and try to sell them tickets.
569
00:23:53,467 --> 00:23:55,236
Which means
if he didn't call you,
570
00:23:55,336 --> 00:23:57,705
your name was boring.
571
00:23:57,805 --> 00:24:00,274
Wasn't no Adam Joneses
at those concerts.
572
00:24:00,441 --> 00:24:02,443
At the ticket booth,
there'd be people saying,
573
00:24:02,543 --> 00:24:06,581
"Two tickets
for Mephisto Bolognese, please."
574
00:24:06,681 --> 00:24:10,184
So, the next time
you think of classical music,
575
00:24:10,284 --> 00:24:12,520
don't just think
of Bach and Chopin.
576
00:24:12,620 --> 00:24:15,289
Think of the iced-out players
like Hayes.
577
00:24:15,456 --> 00:24:18,459
Well, that's all the time
we have for today.

we're for the culture.

See if I can do a little bit
581
00:24:26,901 --> 00:24:28,469
of what old Roland did here.
582
00:24:28,569 --> 00:24:30,871
Pull a name out the phone book.
583
00:24:30,972 --> 00:24:32,773
Hello?
584
00:24:32,874 --> 00:24:35,409

-Oh. Thanks for having me.
This is pretty cool. -This is...

-This is pretty cool, right?
Yeah, you know... -It is.
604
00:25:38,973 --> 00:25:41,175
I mean, it's not as many people

Oh, I mean, you got-- you got
12,000, so, I mean... (laughs)
611
00:25:54,989 --> 00:25:57,692
Um, let's start with-with
the-the most important part
612
00:25:57,792 --> 00:25:59,860
of the interview--
congratulations, first of all.
613
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:02,363
-2022 champions. -Thank you.
-(cheering and applause)
614
00:26:02,463 --> 00:26:04,365
-Thank you.
-Um...
615
00:26:05,332 --> 00:26:07,301
I'd love to know,
which victory is sweeter?
616
00:26:07,401 --> 00:26:09,704
Because the first time is like,
"Wow, we did it."
617
00:26:09,804 --> 00:26:11,639
The second time is like,
"You said we couldn't do it,
618
00:26:11,739 --> 00:26:13,274
-but we did it."
-Right.
619
00:26:13,374 --> 00:26:16,210
I-I think
the second time is sweeter.
620
00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:19,613
Only because, the first time
that we-- that we won,
621
00:26:19,714 --> 00:26:21,148
we didn't play against UConn,
622
00:26:21,248 --> 00:26:23,317
and UConn is considered,
623
00:26:23,417 --> 00:26:24,785
you know, the very best.
624
00:26:24,885 --> 00:26:27,221
Their tradition,
their history and all of that.
625
00:26:27,321 --> 00:26:30,124
So it wasn't really validated
in 2017.
626
00:26:30,224 --> 00:26:32,426
But this year,
we got a chance to play them.
627
00:26:32,526 --> 00:26:36,163
And, um... and it-it felt great
beating them.
628
00:26:36,263 --> 00:26:38,899
-I mean, seriously. Like...
-(laughing) -(cheering)
629
00:26:41,702 --> 00:26:44,038
How do you control
your urge to be frustrated?
630
00:26:44,138 --> 00:26:46,540
Because you are
a gold medal winner.
631
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,641
You are a Hall of Famer.
632
00:26:47,742 --> 00:26:49,310
You've done it
at the highest level.
633
00:26:49,410 --> 00:26:50,745
Like, surely there's a moment
where you're like,
634
00:26:50,845 --> 00:26:53,147
"Give me the ball. I'll show you
what I'm telling you to do."
635
00:26:53,247 --> 00:26:54,682
H-- Like,
how do you not do that?
636
00:26:54,782 --> 00:26:56,951
-Because... (stammers)
-I-I actually do it.
637
00:26:57,051 --> 00:26:59,420
-Oh, you do! Oh! (laughing)
-Yeah. Yeah. (laughing)
638

(cheering and applause)
639
00:27:05,092 --> 00:27:07,461
I mean, here's the thing.
It's just like...
640
00:27:07,561 --> 00:27:11,032
You know, I got a dog. Champ.
His name is Champ. Right?
641
00:27:11,132 --> 00:27:14,068
-Named after-- named after our
2017 team. -I mean, that's...
642
00:27:14,168 --> 00:27:16,670
Um, so, Champ, I wasn't a dog--
643
00:27:16,771 --> 00:27:18,839
-like I'm not really
a dog person. -Mm-hmm.
644
00:27:18,939 --> 00:27:20,307
I'm a Champ person.
645
00:27:20,408 --> 00:27:23,310
So, yeah. So I...
646
00:27:23,411 --> 00:27:24,745
I trained Champ.
647
00:27:24,845 --> 00:27:26,947
Like, I tell him
when something's good
648
00:27:27,048 --> 00:27:28,449
and I give him, you know...
649
00:27:28,549 --> 00:27:29,917
"Great. Good job.
650
00:27:30,017 --> 00:27:31,318
Good job, my guy."
651
00:27:31,419 --> 00:27:32,753
And then if he does
something bad,
652
00:27:32,853 --> 00:27:34,088
potty in the house,
653
00:27:34,188 --> 00:27:36,757
"No. Don't potty in the house.
No."
654
00:27:36,857 --> 00:27:39,794
So you-you have to flow
with what's happening.
655
00:27:39,894 --> 00:27:42,063
Now he doesn't potty
in the house.
656
00:27:42,163 --> 00:27:43,497
He's made it to my bed.
657
00:27:43,597 --> 00:27:46,267
Like, we get our best sleep
when he's in the bed next to me.
658
00:27:46,367 --> 00:27:47,468
Wow!
659
00:27:47,568 --> 00:27:49,570
So it's the same--
I don't mean to--
660
00:27:49,670 --> 00:27:52,139
I don't mean to just say,
you know,
661
00:27:52,239 --> 00:27:53,641
training people is like
training my dog.
662
00:27:53,741 --> 00:27:55,843
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But I understand.
663
00:27:55,943 --> 00:27:57,912
-But... Yes. -Your mentality,
though, is what you're saying.
664
00:27:58,012 --> 00:28:00,081
-The way you have to approach
what you're trying to do. -Yes.
665
00:28:00,181 --> 00:28:02,349
I understand.
It's... I don't think...
666
00:28:02,450 --> 00:28:04,385
-Yeah. Right. -There are highs
and lows. Like-like, if-if
667
00:28:04,485 --> 00:28:06,353
one of our players--
if she does something
668
00:28:06,454 --> 00:28:09,256
that's-that's terrible,
I'm gonna say, "That's terrible.
669
00:28:09,356 --> 00:28:11,392
Like, that's really terrible."
670
00:28:11,492 --> 00:28:13,527
But if they...
if they do something great,
671
00:28:13,627 --> 00:28:16,030
I'm chest bumping,
I'm pump fist...
672
00:28:16,130 --> 00:28:18,666
I'm-I'm... I give it
its emotion that's needed.
673
00:28:18,766 --> 00:28:20,668
I love that. You know,
674
00:28:20,768 --> 00:28:22,336
you don't just inspire
your players, though.
675
00:28:22,436 --> 00:28:24,505
You have become
a motivational force
676
00:28:24,605 --> 00:28:26,674
within the sport as a whole.
677
00:28:26,774 --> 00:28:28,442
I mean, first of all,
congratulations
678
00:28:28,542 --> 00:28:29,877
-on the contract renewal.
-Yeah.
679
00:28:29,977 --> 00:28:32,012
Right? That's, like,
one of the biggest deals ever.
680
00:28:32,113 --> 00:28:35,316
-(applause and cheering)
-And what I really
681
00:28:35,416 --> 00:28:38,586
enjoyed about it is, you didn't
just push for your contract.
682
00:28:38,686 --> 00:28:40,588
You said, "I want this deal
to be negotiated
683
00:28:40,688 --> 00:28:43,257
"through my lawyers because
I want to set a precedent
684
00:28:43,357 --> 00:28:47,361
"so that female coaches earn
the same as the male coaches
685
00:28:47,461 --> 00:28:48,963
who also are kicking ass
in the sport."
686
00:28:49,063 --> 00:28:50,731
-And it was really amazing
that you did that. -Yeah.
687
00:28:50,831 --> 00:28:52,266
Because you looked
beyond yourself. I want to know
688
00:28:52,366 --> 00:28:53,667
why you felt it was
that important to do the way...
689
00:28:53,768 --> 00:28:55,369
'Cause some people just go,
"I've got the money.
690
00:28:55,469 --> 00:28:56,704
-Thank you very much."
You said, "No." -Yeah.
691
00:28:56,804 --> 00:28:58,005
"I want to make sure
that everyone
692
00:28:58,105 --> 00:28:59,573
in this position
gets the money they deserve."
693
00:28:59,673 --> 00:29:01,942
So, just to be clear, I was
actually making a lot of money
694
00:29:02,043 --> 00:29:04,645
before the contract. Right?
695
00:29:04,745 --> 00:29:07,782
(laughter, applause)
696
00:29:10,384 --> 00:29:12,753
But timing...
timing is everything.
697
00:29:12,853 --> 00:29:17,224
Like, I thought the time was
right for me to ask for it.
698
00:29:17,324 --> 00:29:19,760
One was, last year,
at the NCAA Tournament,
699
00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:23,597
um, we saw there was a lot
of inequities, um,
700
00:29:23,698 --> 00:29:25,933
-in the women's game,
in the men's game. -Mm-hmm.
701
00:29:26,033 --> 00:29:27,401
Like, we didn't get
the same things.
702
00:29:27,501 --> 00:29:29,036
Our student athletes
didn't get the same things
703
00:29:29,136 --> 00:29:32,206
-as the men's tournament student
athletes got. -Right, right.
704
00:29:32,306 --> 00:29:34,175
So, I'm out there
on a national level.
705
00:29:34,275 --> 00:29:38,345
I'm writing letters saying,
"This has got to change," right?
706
00:29:38,446 --> 00:29:39,880
So, I get home,
and I'm just like,
707
00:29:39,980 --> 00:29:42,349
"I'm out here nationally
asking for things to change
708
00:29:42,450 --> 00:29:45,853
"when they're not even...
They're-they're worse here
709
00:29:45,953 --> 00:29:47,822
-at our university."
-Wow.
710
00:29:47,922 --> 00:29:50,524
So I thought, um,
with our success
711
00:29:50,624 --> 00:29:53,227
that it was the best time
to ask for it.
712
00:29:53,327 --> 00:29:54,929
And it wasn't really for me.
713
00:29:55,029 --> 00:29:59,633
It was more for, um,
other coaches who-who just...
714
00:29:59,734 --> 00:30:01,469
Equal pay is a law.
715
00:30:01,569 --> 00:30:03,738
I think everybody
knows that, right?
716
00:30:03,838 --> 00:30:06,173
It's a law. Like, it's a law.
717
00:30:06,273 --> 00:30:09,176
-(applause)
-Um...
718
00:30:09,276 --> 00:30:12,580
But... but it's not just
for sports.
719
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,248
But other professions,
like, you know, women...
720
00:30:14,348 --> 00:30:15,649
Yes, I know exactly
what you mean, yeah. Yeah.
721
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:18,119
Women have been fighting
for this for the longest.
722
00:30:18,219 --> 00:30:20,221
And, you know,
if we do the same work,
723
00:30:20,321 --> 00:30:22,390
and we're as successful,
724
00:30:22,490 --> 00:30:24,191
I mean, what's-what's...
what's the difference?
725
00:30:24,291 --> 00:30:25,626
-Right, right. I love that.
-Yeah.
726
00:30:25,726 --> 00:30:26,961
I love that you pushed for that.
727
00:30:27,061 --> 00:30:28,963
-Yeah.
-(applause, cheering)
728
00:30:29,063 --> 00:30:31,165
I love that you set a precedent
in the sport,
729
00:30:31,265 --> 00:30:32,767
and I love
that you're doing your thing.
730
00:30:32,867 --> 00:30:35,369
You know, people love your style
on the court. They go like...
731
00:30:35,469 --> 00:30:38,205
You'll put together outfits
that people love, you know?
732
00:30:38,305 --> 00:30:39,573
You know, I remember
there's that letterman jacket
733
00:30:39,673 --> 00:30:41,475
that you had, and you had,
like, the Louis Vuittons.
734
00:30:41,575 --> 00:30:43,310
And people were like,
"This is the most stylish coach,
735
00:30:43,411 --> 00:30:45,046
-and she's winning
at the same time." -Yeah.
736
00:30:45,146 --> 00:30:47,648
You-you advocate
for other women in the industry.
737
00:30:47,748 --> 00:30:50,785
And what I love
is that you-you proudly advocate
738
00:30:50,885 --> 00:30:53,054
for Black people to succeed
within the sport.
739
00:30:53,154 --> 00:30:54,488
You do something
that's really special
740
00:30:54,588 --> 00:30:56,090
with-with the net
that I really love.
741
00:30:56,190 --> 00:30:58,059
Everyone cuts
that championship net,
742
00:30:58,159 --> 00:31:00,361
and they've got it, but what you
do with it is really special.
743
00:31:00,461 --> 00:31:02,096
Tell... If you don't mind, would
you share that with everyone?
744
00:31:02,196 --> 00:31:05,933
I-I will.
Well, in, um, in-in 2017,
745
00:31:06,033 --> 00:31:07,935
um, the first Black coach
746
00:31:08,035 --> 00:31:09,403
that won
a national championship,
747
00:31:09,503 --> 00:31:11,005
her name was Carolyn Peck.
748
00:31:11,105 --> 00:31:13,941
Uh, probably two years
before we won,
749
00:31:14,041 --> 00:31:17,778
she gave me a piece
of her 1999 championship net,
750
00:31:17,878 --> 00:31:19,914
and she said,
"I want you to hold this
751
00:31:20,014 --> 00:31:22,249
"until you win
your national championship,
752
00:31:22,349 --> 00:31:23,918
and then I want you
to return it."
753
00:31:24,018 --> 00:31:25,586
-NOAH: Hmm. -STALEY: And then
I was able to do that
754
00:31:25,686 --> 00:31:28,189
two years later, which was 2017.
755
00:31:28,289 --> 00:31:31,158
And then she said,
"Now I want you to go find
756
00:31:31,258 --> 00:31:34,862
the next coach that you give
your piece of the net to."
757
00:31:34,962 --> 00:31:38,466
And it took about two years
for me to find the right coach.
758
00:31:38,566 --> 00:31:40,067
And then, finally, I was...
759
00:31:40,167 --> 00:31:43,804
I was actually just talking,
talking with a reporter,
760
00:31:43,904 --> 00:31:45,606
and he asked me
who am I gonna give it to?
761
00:31:45,706 --> 00:31:47,074
And I hadn't.
762
00:31:47,174 --> 00:31:49,310
And I was like, "Okay, well,
this is what I'm gonna do.
763
00:31:49,410 --> 00:31:52,680
I'm gonna give it to every
Black female Division I coach."
764
00:31:52,780 --> 00:31:55,816
Because they're looking at me
765
00:31:55,916 --> 00:31:59,420
and-and dreaming
of what I just accomplished
766
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,155
by winning
the national championship.
767
00:32:01,255 --> 00:32:03,524
And I-I bestowed that on them
768
00:32:03,624 --> 00:32:05,026
just to give them a ray of hope.
769
00:32:05,126 --> 00:32:06,861
Now, I don't think all of them
770
00:32:06,961 --> 00:32:08,029
will win
a national championship,
771
00:32:08,129 --> 00:32:09,830
but the national championship
is...
772
00:32:09,930 --> 00:32:11,932
is, um, coaching
773
00:32:12,033 --> 00:32:14,101
a first-generation
college graduate.
774
00:32:14,201 --> 00:32:16,370
-Right. -That's a...
That's a national championship
775
00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:17,705
in some people's eyes.
776
00:32:17,805 --> 00:32:20,141
Or-or if they're having
a hard day,
777
00:32:20,241 --> 00:32:23,010
just touch that piece of nylon
to give them the hope
778
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:26,414
and the push
to get through a hard day.
779
00:32:26,514 --> 00:32:27,815
-Right.
-Um, now I...
780
00:32:27,915 --> 00:32:29,250
-Remember what you're doing it
for. Yeah. -Yeah.
781
00:32:29,350 --> 00:32:31,819
Yeah. Now, though, we won
another national championship,
782
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:35,289
so what I've promised
is to give it to Black men,
783
00:32:35,389 --> 00:32:38,392
because their instinct
in our... in our sport,
784
00:32:38,492 --> 00:32:41,962
and also Black journalists,
because we need...
785
00:32:42,063 --> 00:32:44,065
we need Black journalists
in the room
786
00:32:44,165 --> 00:32:46,367
to-to give
a different perspective.
787
00:32:46,467 --> 00:32:48,002
-Wow. -Doesn't mean
it's right or wrong.
788
00:32:48,102 --> 00:32:49,336
It's just
a different perspective
789
00:32:49,437 --> 00:32:50,738
-where we can grow.
-I love that.
790
00:32:50,838 --> 00:32:52,106
-That's why you're the coach.
-(cheering and applause)
791
00:32:52,206 --> 00:32:53,974
Thank you so much
for joining me on the show.
792
00:32:54,075 --> 00:32:56,444
-Thank you. -Congratulations
on all your success.
793
00:32:56,544 --> 00:32:58,713
Wow. All right, people.
794
00:32:58,813 --> 00:33:02,016
Be sure to follow the Gamecocks
and check out Dawn's podcast,
795
00:33:02,116 --> 00:33:03,784
Netlife with Dawn Staley.
796
00:33:03,884 --> 00:33:04,952
We're gonna take a quick break,
797
00:33:05,052 --> 00:33:06,487
but we'll be right back
after this.
798
00:33:06,587 --> 00:33:08,289
-(cheering and applause)
-Thank you again.
799
00:33:10,898 --> 00:33:12,933
(cheering and applause)
800
00:33:14,234 --> 00:33:16,003
Well, that's our show
for tonight. But before we go,
801
00:33:16,103 --> 00:33:18,672
Team Rubicon mobilizes veterans
802
00:33:18,772 --> 00:33:21,875
to help people prepare, respond
and recover from disasters.
803
00:33:21,975 --> 00:33:23,644
They're on the ground right now
804
00:33:23,744 --> 00:33:25,779
supporting
internally displaced persons
805
00:33:25,879 --> 00:33:27,147
inside Ukraine.
806
00:33:27,247 --> 00:33:29,783
So, if you can,
please donate at the link below
807
00:33:29,883 --> 00:33:31,084
to support them in their work.
808
00:33:31,185 --> 00:33:33,053
Until tomorrow,
stay safe out there.
809
00:33:33,153 --> 00:33:35,489
And remember, if you
get pulled over by the police,
810
00:33:35,589 --> 00:33:37,658
just stay really still
811
00:33:37,758 --> 00:33:40,093
and pretend
like you're a driverless car.
812
00:33:40,194 --> 00:33:42,863
Now, here it is,
Your Moment of Zen.
813
00:33:42,963 --> 00:33:45,666
It's strange for me
when they say, like,
814
00:33:45,766 --> 00:33:48,836
"Oh, well, like,
how could you do comedy
815
00:33:48,936 --> 00:33:50,771
in this tragic situation?"
816
00:33:50,871 --> 00:33:54,675
Well,
it's because comedy and tragedy
817
00:33:54,775 --> 00:33:58,312
are just very strange roommates.
818
00:33:58,412 --> 00:34:01,048
They're
very uncomfortable roommates.
819
00:34:01,148 --> 00:34:02,850
They live together
820
00:34:02,950 --> 00:34:06,820
and, uh, don't always get along.
821
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,590
There's no reason
for the two of them
822
00:34:09,690 --> 00:34:13,694
to be living together,
but they just do.
823
00:34:13,794 --> 00:34:16,096
And so if there's tragedy,
824
00:34:16,196 --> 00:34:18,499
it will be followed by comedy.
825
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:20,300
It always will be.
