[♪♪] >> hello, there. you're about to watch an episode of the "the daily show." that means there's some news and some jokes on the way.

request you like laughing and news, you're in the right ( bleep ) place, honey. >> announcer: coming to you from the heart of times square, in new york, the only city in america, it's "the daily show. tonight: tonight: this is "the daily show with trevor noah." ( cheers and applaus captioning sponsored by comedy central ( applause ) >> trevor: what's going on, everybody? welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah, and you're my live studio audience! you're live! this is happening! thank you so much. take a seat. take a seat, guys. thank you! yeah, yesterday was our first show back with a live audience. it was super exciting and it's

been so much fun. but i do want to acknowledge something, and this is completely true. after the show aired there were a number of people on social media who said they were sad because, "it's not just me and trevor anymore." ( laughter ) yeah. and i felt that. and i just want to say to those people, yes, what we had was special. ( laughter ) we had two very good years together, and i will always treasure that. i really will, i'll treasure that in my heart. but, ultimately, i just needed to see other people. ( laughter ) a lot of other people you know. ( cheers and applause ). and, please remember this, please remember this, please remember, we still have our thing, okay. there's just going to be a lot of people watching while we do it, okay? ( laughter ) anyway, we have a really good show tonight. our guest led south carolina women's basketball to the championship, and she's a hall of famer and she's a gold medalist. dawn staley is here, everybody.

that's going to be a lot of fun. first, let's do it. let's just into today's headlines. all right, let's kick things off with some big economic news about inflation pup know, inflation-- the reason your grandfather is always bragging about, "i paid seven cents for a movie ticket in 1972. and it was a porno movie. back in my day, you had to see them in the theaters. yeah, you couldn't just pull them up on pub-hub like you kids do. you had to remember the scene and go home and try to recreate the feeling. sometimes you'd see a friend on the way home and you'd have to be like' shut up, jerry. stop talking. i'm trying to remember the boobs." and your grandmother would say were you at one of those muchs again? and i would say, shut up,

cheryl. and i am trying to remember the boobs. and i'd get to yank the crank. the point is, things cost a lot less back then. yes, inflation. it's getting worse and it's affecting everything. breaking news, the labor department out with new inflation numbers this morning. when you look at the sectors, it is gas, shelter, food, used cars, these are numbers that year over year have had big, big increases in prices. >> this is a situation where just about everything is going up 8.5% inflation increase year over year. that's a strong, strong number. >> the highest since december 1981, when "raiders of the lost arc" was number one at the box office, ronald reagan was president, and unemployment was pushing 10%. >> trevor: seriously? this inflation is taking us back to 1981. i don't want to go back to 1981.

first of all, there's no wifi. secondly, i could never pull off a jheri curl, people. ( applause ) actually, i take that back. i take that back. yeah, maybe i can. it doesn't look bad. yeah, people, because the economy opened up suddenly and the government gave everyone money, everyone is is spending again. but the supply chain issue, so there's not enough products for the people to buy. and that driestles the prices up. on top of that, vladimir putin thought now would be a nice time to air bnb ukraine. so because of all of that, inflation is rising faster, or higher, than the price of bitcoin, you know. which is-- sorry, wait? no, bitcoin is down again. sorry, my bad. ignore that. wait, it's up again. it's up again. it's the future, all right, it's the future. point is-- wait, it's down

again. is it a scam or is it the future, guys? the point is, everything has gont expensive. so expensive that even bed bath & beyond coupons are starting to get all cocky with us. "well, well, well, who's the junk mail now? you used to throw me away. i guess my 20% off isn't clogging up your mailbox anymore, is it, ( bleep )? yeah ( laughs ) here's the thing, inflation is bad for everybody. it doesn't just hurt your wallet. it makes life harder for people and it makes you feel crazy. you'll be in the store and you'll be like, "yesterday this, avocado was $3. now it's $6. are you gaslighting me, avocado." the only thing that gets better with inflation is small talk. at least now you can talk about something else other than the weather. ♪ ♪ ♪

yeah, price of cheese is up again, huh? man, it's getting crazy ( laughs ) cheese... cheese... cheese... ( laughter ) all right, but let's move on. you know what's funny, you guys have been in that elevator, and you've been that person. you've been that person. you know what i'm talking about. ( applause ) all right, let's move on to someone who is definitely not affected by inflation, elon musk. billionaire businessman and proud african american. ( laughter ) one of musk's favorite thing to do is get high and post trolley memes on twitter. recently, he transformed himself into the most powerful twitter troll of all time. musk recently bought enough

stock to make him the company's largest shareholder. and apparently he was supposed to join the board of directors as well, but now for some reason there's been a change of plans. >> elon musk deciding not to join twitter's board of directors. that's according to twitter's c.e.o. but even as an outsider, musk may still be able to influence the company. his decision means he is no longer limited to owning just about 15% of twitter. that would have been a condition if he had joined the board. now some analysts are suggesting he could bolster his stake and eventually establish control of the company. >> trevor: yeah, that's right, elon musk has his sights set on twitter. and whether or not he decides to take it over, he's still the largest shareholder, which means twitter is his baby now. that means any minute he's gonna rename it "tw&zeta. ( laughter ) 69. ( applause ) and, look, i know a lot of people don't like elon musk. they think he's controversial, all these things.

i will say this, man, one thing you have to admit is he makes being a billionaire look fun. you know. it has its perks. elon was annoyed by twitter, so what did he do? he bought it. tell me we all didn't wish we had that power. imagine if when the airline told you, you were bumped from your flight, you could just buy the airline. as opposed to now when we act like there's anything we can do. "oh, really? the flight's overbooked? you know what, i'm just going to buy another seat on a less-convenient flight." ( applause ) "yeah, you better know my name! can i get my money back first, i need to move it over-- 14 days! i can't wait 14 days!" apparently, one of the things elon wants to change about twitter is he wants to stop the censorship of conservative voices. and there's even speculation he could force twitter to let donald trump back on to the

platform. yeah. oh, you guys don't like donald trump? oh,. ( laughter ) i will make a note of that. all right. and you have to admit, getting trump back on twitter would be weird, guys. think about it. he's so behind. ( laughter ) he's got, like, a whole year of hot takes he saved up. "apparently there's a big ship stuck in the suez canal. what a loser. i like ships that don't get stuck!" ( laughter ) "fresh take." all right, but let's move on to another global problem-- covid-19. here in america, life has pret much returned to normal, as cases have fallen drskly around the country. you don't even have to cancel plans as a safety precaution anymore. you can just go back to cancelling plans because you don't like any of your friends. but in parts of china right now, covid is actually infecting more people than ever before. and in shanghai, chinese authorities are taking some of

the most extreme measures you've ever seen to try and keep covid under control. >> china's biggest city, shanghai, remains eerily empty, 26 million people under a massive covid lockdown, relying on government deliveries. and anger is soaring, social media showing videos of protests over food and medicine, a supermarket ransacked. at a building where residents have been locked down for two weeks, they shout, "we only want supplies. why are you beating people?" >> some citizens in the authoritarian nation are losing it, defying the lockdown by screaming from their apartment windows into the night. ( screaming ) it is straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. some people are yelling out, "we are starving." >> at night, between the high-rises, a drone tells people to follow covid rules and, bizarrely, not to sing on their balcony.

>> trevor: wow. you know every time you think you know what oppression, is china takes things to a whole thu level. they really do, yeah. because everyone in the u.s. is like, "how dare you tell me to wear a mask when i go to walmart." and people in china are like, "you're allowed to go to walmart? they even have a drone flying around telling people it's against covid rules to sing on their balcony. that's terrifying. and, also, why didn't we have that drone when they were making that "imagine" video. at least-- at least the drone is telling everyone not to sing. yeah, it would be way worse if it was just like targeting one guy: "mr. huang, please. you know you can't hit those high notes. shut up!" i don't care what anyone says, this is insane. yes, covid is a serious disease and we need to be careful but if people are locked in their apartments starving, that's worse. it's like a pilot crashing a plane because the in-flight

movie was terrible. "don't worry, information, movies can't hurt you in the afterlife. thanks so much for flying." i don't want to make anyone panic, i really don't. but have you ever wonder idea china has the most extreme reactions to covid in the world? like, i just found myself worntding, every other country is now like, "it's time to move on. we're done. covid is finished." and china is like, "no, it is not time to move on." and that has me wondering what do they know that we don't? ( laughter ) aaaah, it's probably nothing. our final story is about self-driving cars. some day they'll usher in a utopian future where we can all

text and drive without wiping out a family. right now, the cars are still in testing mode and it seems like there are a few cinches that need to be worked out. >> and we turn now to california and a bizarre encounter between police and a driverless car. this morning, this video going viral showing a self-driving car being pulled over by police in san francisco. >> this is crazy. >> the car was pulled over because it was driving at night without headlights on. at first, it looks like an ordinary traffic stop: an officer gets out of his car to speak to the driver, only to discover... >> ain't nobody in it. >> and then, the car speeds away from the officers, passing through an intersection. ( applause ) oh, man, that was amazing. that driverless car just drove away from the cops. it's just, like, it just drove away. yeah, it may be a computer, but it's got the confidence of a white person. that was-- that was swag.

( applause ) "i don't have the time for this officer. send me the ticket in the mail." apparently the company who owns this car, they say it was a glitch. that's why that happened. it's not supposed to do that. but i think we all know what happened here, man-- that car had weed and was freaking out. yeah. ( laughter ) you could see that car was like, "oh, shit, oh, shit. act cool act cool, act cool. hello, officer. shit, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive!" and you realizing this only going to happen more. it's only going to happen more. as more driverless cars become more common this is going to happen which puts police in a weird position. a driverless car starts acting up, what do you do, tase it? that will just charge the battery. this is how you know the robot takeover is inevitable. they're already disrespecting authoritarian figures. it starts with them driving away from cars. next it will be us in our houses. you'll say something to alexa, and she'll be like, "play your

own music, bitch." this is the future we've been waiting for, people. if a driverless car breaks the law, there's no one to punish it. what are you going to do arrest the corporation? laws don't apply to them. it's the perfect crime. you can't do anything. by the way, you heard you snort. that was amazing. ( applause ) all right, these are things you don't get without an audience. that made my week. thank you very much. before we take a break, let's catch up with what's trending on social media with the one and only ronny chieng, everyone. good to see you ( applause ). >> good to sie, trevor. thanks, everyone. it's good to see you guys in studio. thanks for coming out! i just want to talk about the elon musk thing real quick. elon musk buying twitter, amazing. i love it. because who better to fix the most toxic environment known to humanity than elon musk, right. >> trevor: wait, what? >> you don't send a normal person to do a sociopath's job,

okay. >> trevor: ronny, ronny. >> i love you. >> trevor: you can't love this. elon musk is like a giant troll. >> no, no, that's what you need. only a giant troll can defeat other trolls. it's gennuous. no, you get it. come on. he's a smart guy. it's a south african thing, you know. yeah, it's-- it's you. it's oscar pstoris. they got the plan. it's a plan. he doesn't do things for no reason. look at all the pieces. look at the piece he's putting together. he's got the tesla, cars. he's got the solar power. he's got space-x, he's drilling the holes. he's got the brain chips. he's smoke weed with joe rogan, he's tanking "s.n.l.." now he's buying twitter. don't you see the plan? ( laughter ). >> trevor: what is the plan? >> no i'm asking you, do you see the plan, because-- because -- >> you're asking me like you know the plan. >> i don't know what he's doing. i was hoping you had some

insight. >> trevor: no, i don't know what he's doing. ronny, you can just tell us what's trending online, please. you said you were going to do social media. >> you want me to read the tweets. >> trevor: read the tweets. > let's read this tweet.wow, wht this is. "happy friday to all my followers." oh, wow. ( applause ) thank you for this poignant message. a modern-day shakespeare. i wouldn't have thought of celebrating my fridays nil read this. ( laughter ) >> trevor: they thought it would make the people happy, like "happy friday!" >> that's not what you do on twitter. twitter is for hate. okay, you don't post this stuff. you have to be controversial. >> trevor: what-- >> you should say something like, "fridays are racist. the ( laughter ) >> trevor: that's the most ridiculous thing. fridays are not racist. >> now we're talking about it. see, it's engagement. >> trevor: fridays are not racist. >> this powers me. >> trevor: no, hey, hey!

fridays are not-- you can't-- >> engagement! >> trevor: this is not entajment. this is crazy. what are you talking about? >> that's what it's about. you gotta go hard. >> trevor: i don't even understand why my tweet is up there. i thought you were going to do social media-- >> by the way, what's up with this profile picture. you look like you're taking a shit at the meg gala. you have to do the squat, learn the pose. >> trevor: it was a phot shoot, and they asked me to do that thing-- >> yeah, this is a choice. you chose to do this. ( laughter ) so rename your book,s, born a fashion crime." >> trevor: i-- i think that looks-- you know, ronny, i thought we were friends man. >> yeah. >> trevor: you're going to dismy tweets like that. >> we are friends. that's why i'm going to give you the opportunity to retweet my new comedy special that's out. ( applause ) coming out. >> trevor: so now my tweets are worth something. >> yeah. >> trevor: oh, now-- >> by the way, happy tuesday.

( laughter ) >> trevor: don't forget to check out ronny's new special. we have to take a quick break. of when we come back, roy wood jr. will explore the secret world of black classical music. you don't want to miss it. ( applause )

( laughter ) but, it's actually more black that you know might think. as roy wood jr. explains in another edition of "c.p. time." ♪ ♪ ♪ >> oooh. oooh. hmmm. well, hello. welcome to "c.p. time," the only show that's for the culture. today, we'll be discussing black classical music. now, i know you might be thinking that classical music is just for old white men whose

hair looks like they spent the day inside of a tornado. but black musicians have been often overlooked history of contributions in the classical music space. take our first musician. george bridgetower. born in britain in 1978, george was a young musical prodigy, driven into show business by his overbearing father. the 18th century version of joe jackson. "boy, you better get back in there and learn that violin!" before george was 10 years old, he was performing for kings and princes all over europe. one concert was even attended by thomas jefferson. it's rumored that thomas jefferson was so impressed by the talents of this mixed race baby he was heard saying, "maybe i should make one of these for myself." bridgetower was so famous, that beethoven himself even wrote him

a sonato, which they performed together in 1803. on the sheet music, beethoven wrote a dedication to george, which read-- and i quote-- "mulato sonato, great lunatic, and mulato composer." keep in mind, beethoven was famous for knowing how things sound. another black classical musician is sister retia jones, a world-famous opera singer from providence, rhode island. jones toured the world and even performed for then-president benjamin harrison, who, like many presidents from the 1800s, also worked part time as a mall santa. despite being unable to perform in the fully staged operas because of segregation, jones was still too talented to ignore. she became the very first african american woman to headline a show at carnegie

hall, which actually reminds me of the old joke: how do you get to carnegie hall? you take the "q" train to 57th street street. it's funny because it's true. our next musician, roland hayes, the first african american artist to make a commercial recording, and judging from these photos, the first mr. steal your girl. although hayes always presented raw musical talent, his career only begins because of a workplace accident. his clothes got caught in an assembly line and dragged him through the machine three times nearly killing him. while he recovered at home in a full body cast, it was then that roland started taking singing seriously. hayes' career took off. and at the peak of the 1920s, he was the world's highest paid singer, reportedly make around

$100,000 a year. that's not very rich these days, but back then, that made roland basically kanye and drake. roland was also the first african american concert artist to record his own record. he hired orchestras, scored the music, and hired out columbia studios, and promoted himself as the great negro tenor. he would even go through the phonebook. and if he found a name he liked, he'd call that name and try to sell them tickets, which means if he didn't call you, your name was boring. wasn't no adam joneses at those concerts. at the ticket booth there would be people saying two tickets for mifestobolognese please. the next time you think of classical music, don't just think of bach and chopin. that's of the iced out players like hayes.

that's all the time we have today. this has been c.p. time. i'm roy wood jr. and remember, for the culture. see if i can do a little bit of what old roland did here, pull a name out of the phonebook. hello, is this charisse dumont? can you loan me $200. >> trevor: thank you so much for that, roy. don't go away, people, "the daily show" will be back right after this with coach staley.

( applause ) coach staley, welcome to "the daily show." >> thanks for having me. this is pretty cool. >> trevor: it is pretty cool, right. it's not as many people as you're normally in front of when you are coaching but we make do. >> actually, some teams only get this amount of people in the stands. >> trevor: oh, wow. >> we average around 12,000. >> trevor: you have 12,000 so... let's start with the most important part of the interview-- congratulations, first of all,. 2022 champions. ( cheers and applause ). >> thank you. >> trevor: i'd love to know, which victory is sweeter? because the first time is, like, wow we did it. the second time is like, "you said we couldn't do it, but we did it." >> right. i think the second time is sweeter. only because the first time that we-- that we won, we didn't play

against u-conn, and u-conn is considered, you know, the very best. they're electrician, their history and all of that. so it wasn't really validated in 2017. but this year, we got a chance to play them. and-- and it felt great beating them. ( laughter ) seriously, like-- ( applause ) >> trevor: how do you control your urge to be frustrated? because you are a gold medal winner. you are a hall of famer. you've done it at the highest level. like, surely there's a moment where you're like, "give me the ball. i'll show you what i'm telling you to do." like, how do you not do that? >> i actually do it. >> trevor: oh, you do. >> yeah. ( applause ) i mean, here's the thing, it's just like you know, i got a dog, champ. his name is champ. named after our 2017 team. so, champ, i wasn't a dog-- like i'm not really a dog person.

i'm a champ person. so, yeah. so i-- i trained champ. like, i tell him when something's good, i give him , you know, "great, good job. good job, my guy. "f" he does something bad, potty in the house. "don't potty in the house. no." you have to flow with what's happening. now he doesn't potty in the house. he's made it to my bed. like, we get our best sleep when he's in the bed next to me. >> trevor: wow! >> i don't mean eye don't mean to say, you know, training people is like training my -- >> no, no, no. >> my dog. >> trevor: your mentality is what you're saying, the way you have to approach what you're trying to do. >> yes. >> trevor: i understand-- >> there are highs and lows. like, if one of our players, if she does something that's terrible, i'm going to say, "that's terrible. like, that's really terrible." but if they-- if they do something great, i'm chest bumping. i'm-- i give it its emotion that's needed.

>> trevor: i love that. you don't just inspire your players, though. you have become a motivational force within the sport as a whole. i mean, first of all, congratulations on the contract renewal. right. that's, like, one of the biggest deals ever. ( applause ) and what i really enjoyed about it is, you didn't just push for your contract. you said i want this deal to be negotiated through my lawyers because i want to set a precedent so that female coaches earn the same as the male coaches who also are kicking ass in the sport. it was really amazing that you did that. you looked beyond yourself. i want to know why you felt it was that important to do the way-- some people say i got the money, thank you very much. you said i want everybody to get the money they deserve. >> just to be clear, i was making a lot of money before the contract. ( applause ) but, timing-- timing is everything. like, i thought the time was right for me to ask for it. one was last year at the

n.c.a.a. tournament, we saw there was a lot of inequities in the women's game, in the men's game. like, we didn't get the same things-- our student athletes didn't get the same thing as the men's tournament student athletes got. i'm out there on a national level. i'm writing letters saying, "this has got to change," right. i get home, and i'm just like, i'm out here nationally asking for things to change when they're not-- they're worse here. >> trevor: wow. >> at our university. so i thought with our success that it was the best time to ask for it. and it wasn't really for me. it was more for other coaches who-- equal pay is a law. i think everybody knows that, right? it's a law. ( applause ) like, it's a law. ( applause ) but it's not just for sports. but other professions, like -- >> i know exactly what you mean. >> women have been fighting for this for the longest. and if we do the same work and

we're as successful, i mean, what's-- what's the difference? >> trevor: right, right. i love that. i love that you pushed for that-- ( applause ) yeah. i love that you set a precedent in the sport and i love that you're doing your thing. people love your style on the scowrt. you'll put together outfits that people love. i remember that letterman jacket you had, and people are like this is the most stylish coach and she's winning at the same time. you advocate for other women in the industry. and what i love is that you proudly advocate for black people to succeed within the sport pup do something that's really special with the net they really love. everyone cuts that championship net, and they've got-- what you do with it is really special. if you don't mind, would you share that with everyone? >> i will. well, in 2017, the first black coach that won a national championship, her name was carolyn peg. probably two years before we won, she gave me a piece of her 1999 championship net, and she

said, "i want you to hold this until-- when your national championship, and i want you to return it." i was able to do that two years later, which was 2017. and then she said, "now i want you to go find the next coach that you give your piece of the net to." it took about two years for me to find the right coach. and then finally, i was-- i was actually just talking-- talking with a reporter, and he asked me who am i going to give it to? and i hadn't. and i was like, okay, this is what i'm going to do. i'm going to give it to every black female division 1 coach. because they're looking at me, and dremg of what i just accomplished by winning the national championship. and i bestowed that on them, just to give them a ray of hope. now, i don't think all of them will win a national championship. but the national championship is coaching the first-generation college graduate. that's a national championship in some people's eyes.

or, or if they're having a hard day, just touch that piece of nylon to give them the hope and the push to get through a hard day. >> trevor: right. >> now -- >> that's what you're doing it for. >> we won another national championship, so what i've promised is to give it to black men, because their instinct in our sport, and also black journalists. because we need-- we need black journalists in the room to give a different perspective. >> trevor: wow. >> it doesn't mean it's right or wrong. it's just a different perspective where we can grow. >> trevor: i love that. that's why you're the coach. thank you so much for joining me on the show. congratulations on all your success. wow. all right, people. be sure to follow the gamecocks and check out dawn's podcast, "netlife with dawn staley." we're gonna take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this. ( cheers and applause ). >> trevor: thank you again.

there and remember if you get pulled over by the police, just stay really still and pretend like you're driving this car. now, here it is, your moment of zen. >> it's strange for me when they say like, "oh, how could you do comedy in this tragic situation?" well, it's because comedy and tragedy are just very strange roommates. they're very uncomfortable roommates. they live together, and don't always get along. there's no reason for the two of them to be living together, but they just do. and so if there's tragedy, it will be followed by comedy. it always will be. captioning sponsored by comedy central captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org
