Shanghai's Extreme Lockdown | Dawn Staley

so much, take a change, take a see guys. Thank you. Yeah, yesterday yesterday was our first show back with a live audience, and it was super exciting. It's been so much fun. But I do want to acknowledge something really quickly, and this, this is completely true. After the show aired, there were a number of people on social media who said they

were sad because quote, it's not just me and Trevor anymore. Yeah, and I felt that, and I just wanted to say to all of those people, Yes, what we had was special. We had two very good years together and I will always treasure that. I really will. I'll treasure that in my heart but but ultimately, I just I needed to see other people, a lot of other people, you know, and and please remember this, Please remember this, Please remember we still have our thing. Okay, there's just gonna be

a lot of people watching while we do it. Okay, 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. Don't slayle is here, everybody. That's gonna be a lot of fun. I hope she can help me up in my game. But fun. Let's do it. Let's shop into today's headlines. All right, let's kick things off with some big economic news about inflation. You know, inflation, the reason your grandfather

is always bragging about. I paid seven stands for a movie. Check it in nine h seven, eh Joe, And there was a porno movie. Yeah, back in my day. You have to see them in the theaters. Yeah, you couldn't just pull them up on pub hub like you kids do. You have to remember the shade and go home and try and recreate the failing. Sometimes you see a friend on the way home and you'd have to be like

Jerry stopped talking. I'm trying to remember the bulbs. And then I'd finally get home and your grandmother would say, were you at one of those movies again? And I'll say, shut up, Cheryl, I'm trying to remember those bulbs. And then finally I got to yank my crank and it will be bubs and Jerry and your grandmother and my head. And the point is things cost a lot less back then. So yes, inflation, it's getting worse and it's affecting everything.

The break news this morning. The US Labor Department out with new inflation numbers this morning. They're high, the highest inflation in fact rate in the US in more than forty years. When you look at the sectors, it is gas, it is shelter, it is food, it is 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. Eight and a half percent

inflation increased year over year. That's a strong, strong number, the highest since December one, when Raiders of the Lost Arc was number one at the box office, Ronald Reagan was president and unemployment was pushing ten Seriously, this inflation is taking us back to one I don't want to go back to. First of all, there's no WiFi. Secondly, I could never pull off a Jerry Coode people. Actually, actually, I take that back. I take that back. Yeah, maybe

I can. It doesn't look bad. It look sonic. You call me baby. Yeah, we're doing this. But yeah, people, because the economy opened up suddenly and the government gave everyone money, everyone is spending again. But the supply chain issues, so there's not enough products for the people to buy, and that drives the prices up. And then on top of that, Vladimir Putin decided that, oh and I would be a nice time to airbnb Eastern Ukraine by force

raising oil prices, which makes everything more expensive. And that's what's happening. It's gonna happen to all of us. And so because of all of that, inflation is rising faster or higher than the price of bitcoin, you know, which is sorry, wait, no, no bitcoins down again? Sorry, my bad, I know that. Even all that, so bait, wait, oh it's up again. It's up again. It's the future, all right, it's the future. So the point is it, Wait, it's down again, which which is it a scam boys, that

the future guys. The point is everything has gotten expensive, so expensive that even bed buffing beyond coupons are starting to get old cocky with us. Well wow, wow, who's the junk man now? Used to throw me away? I guess my off isn't clogging up your mail box anymore, is it? Mother? Yeah, here's the thing, man, Inflation is bad for everybody, all right. It doesn't just hurt your wallets.

It makes life harder for people, and it makes you feel crazy, you know, because you'll be in the store and you'll be like, yesterday, this avocado was three dollars, now it's six. Are you gas lighting me of a cardo? All right, let's move on to someone who is definitely not affected by inflation. Elon Musk, billionaire businessman and proud

African American. One of Musk's favorite things to do is get high and post truly memes on Twitter, but recently he transformed himself into the most powerful Twitter troll of all time. You see, Musk recently bought enough stock to make him the company's largest shareholder. Yeah, 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 CEO. But even as an outsider, Musk may still be able to influence the company. His decision means he's no longer limited to owning just about fift of Twitter. That would have been a condition if he had joined the board. Now some manalist suggesting he could bolster his stake and eventually established control of the company. Yeah, that's right. Elon Musk has his sights set on Twitter and whether or not he decides to take it over.

You do realize he is still the largest shareholder, which means Twitter is his baby. Now. Yeah, that means any minutes he's gonna rename it's t w Ampers. 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 that he makes being a billionaire look fun. You know, No, it has its perks. Elon was annoyed by Twitter, and so what do you do he bought it? Yeah, tell me,

we all wish we didn't have that power. Huh. Imagine if when the airline told you that you were bumped from your flight, you can just buy the airline, as opposed to now where we just act like does anything we can do? Oh oh really the flight's overbooked. Well you know what, I'm just gonna buy another seat on a less convenient flight. Yeah, you gonna know my name? You can? Can I get my money back? First? I needed moving over to the fourteen days. I can't wait

for you. Yeah yeah. Now, 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 that he could force Twitter to let Donald Trump back onto the platform. Yeah, oh, you guys don't like Donald Trump. I didn't make a note of that, all right, And you have to admit getting Trump back on Twitter would be weird, guys. I mean, he thinks about he's soul behind.

He's got like a whole year of heart takes that he saved that he's gonna come back on the planet with. Apparently there's a big ship stuck in the Suez Canal. What a loser. I like ships that don't get stuck fresh take all right, But let's move on to another global problem, COVID nineteen. Here in America, life has pretty much returned to normal as cases have fallen drastically around the country. You know, you don't even have to cancel

plans as a safety precaution anymore. You can just go back to canceling plans because you don't actually like any of your friends. But but in parts of China right now, COVID is actually infecting more people than ever before, and in Shanghai, one of the most populous cities in the country, 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, twenty six million people under a massive COVID lockdown, relying on government deliveries and anger is sorry 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 shall, we only want supplies. Why are you beating people? Some

citizens in the authoritarian nation are losing it. Define the lockdown by screaming from their apartment windows into the nine. It's straight out of a dystopian sci fi movie. Some people are yelling out, we're starving at night between the high rises, a drone tells people to follow COVID rules and bizarrely not to sing on their balconies. Wow. You know, every time you think you know what oppression is, China takes things to it to a whole new level. They

really do. Yeah, because like 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 like, you're allowed to go to Walmart? I mean, they even have a drone flying around telling people it's against COVID rules to sing on the balcony. That's terrifying. And also why didn't we have that drone when they were making

that Imagine video. I mean, at least at least the drone is telling everyone not to sing though you know, yeah, it would be It would be way worse if it was just like targeting one guy like Mr Wong, Please you can't hit those high notes. Shut up, because I don't care what anyone says. This is insane. Yes, COVID is a serious disease. Yes we need to be careful, but if people are locked in their apartments starving. Surely that's worse, right, The solution cannot be worse than the problem.

You know, it's like a pilot crashing a plane because the in flight movie was terrible. Oh no worry, folks, morbus can't hurt you in the afterlife. Thank you so much for flying and people. I don't want to make anyone panic. I really don't, really don't. But have you ever wondered why China has the most extreme reactions to COVID in the world. Like I just found myself wondering this. Every country in the world, every other country is now like,

it's time to move on. Let's say we're done, COVID has finished, and Chinna is like, no, it is not time to move on. And yeah, that has me wondering what do they know that we don't. That's probably nothing, all right. Our final story is about self driving cause you know, someday they'll rusher in a utopian future where we can all text and drive without wiping out a family a fall over and me and our friends have

already seen. But for now, smart cause are still in testing mode, and it seems like there are a few kinks that still need to be worked out, and we turned down 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. 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 cards speak to the driver, only to discover and then the car speeds away from the officers, passing through an intersection. Oh man, oh man, that was amazing. I'm driving this car just drove away from the cops. Those one. It's just like it just drove away. Yeah, maybe a computer, but it's got the confidence of a white person. That was That was swag. I don't have the time for this officer. Send me the ticket in

the mail. Now. Apparently the company who owns this car, they say it was a glitch. That's why that happens. Not supposed to do that. But I think we all know what happened here. Man, that car had weed and was freaking out. Yeah, you could see that car was like, oh shit, oh shit, act cool act cool et coo, Hello office. A ship drive drive drive drive driver, and you realize it's only gonna happen more. It's only gonna

happen more as more drivingless cars become more common. This is gonna happen, which puts police in a weird position. I wouldn't want to be a cop in that position. Like a driving this car starts acting up. What do you do? Do you taste it? That's gonna charge The battery makes things worse. And this is how you know the robot takeover is inevitable. People, the autonomous cars are already disrespecting human authority figures. Just get ready. Yeah, it

starts with them driving away from cops. Next thing is gonna be usk in out houses. You're gonna say something to Alexa and she's gonna be like, play your own music, bitch. This is the future we've been waiting for. People. If a driving this car breaks the law, there's no one to punish it. What are you gonna do? Arrest the corporation laws don't apply to them. It's the perfect crime. You can't do anything. By the way, I heard you snort. That was amazing, all right, these are things you don't

get without an audience. That was that made my read thank you very much. All Right, before we take a break, let's catch up with what's trending on social media with the want to only Runny check everyone. Good to see you, Trevor. Thanks everyone, it's good to see you.

Everybody, all right, we gotta take a quick break, but don't go away because when we come back, Royal Junior is going to expose the secret world of black classical music. You don't want to miss it because taken off, Welcome back to the daily show classical music. It's hip hop for white people, but

it's actually more black than you might think. As Roywood Jr. Explains in another edition of CP Time, well hello, welcome to CEP 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 it's just for old white men whose hair looks like they spend a day inside of a tornado. But black musicians have an often overlooked history of contributions in the classical music space.

Take our first musician, George Bridge Tower born in Britain in seventy eight. George was a young musical prodigy, driven into show business by his overbearing father. The eighteenth century version of Joe Jackson, Weren't You Better? Get back in there and learn that violin. Before George was ten years old, he was performing for Kings and Princess 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 that he was heard saying, maybe I should make one of these for myself. Rich Dower was so famous that Beethoven himself even wrote him a sonata, which they performed together in eighteen o three. On the sheet music, Beethoven wrote a dedication to George which read, and I quote Mulatto Sonata composer, the Mulatto Bridge Tower,

great lunatic and Mulatto composer. Keep in mind Beethoven was famous for knowing how things sound. Another black classical musician the Ciscaretta 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 eighteen hundreds, also worked part time as a mall center. Despite being unable to perform and 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 cute training to fifty seven 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 Steel Your Girl. Although he's always presented raw musical talent, his career only begin because of a workplace accident. His clothes got caught in an assembly line built and it dragged him through a machine three times, nearly killing him. And while he recovered at home in a fool by the cast. It was

then that Roland started taking singing seriously. Hay His career took off, and at the peak of the nineteen twenties, he was the world's highest paid singer, reportedly making around one hundred thousand dollars 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 out Columbia studios and promoted himself as

the great Negro tenor. He would even go through the phone book and if he found a name he liked, he'd call that name and try to sell them tickets, Which you mean if he didn't call you, your name was boring? What no Adam Jones is at those concerts at the ticket booth? That be people saying two tickets for Mofisto Bolonese. Please, So the next time you think of classical music, don't just think of Bach and Chopin, think of the ice stout players like Hayes. Well that's

all the time we have for today. This has been CP time and I'm Roy Wood Jr. And remember well for the culture. See if I can do a little bit of what old Roland did here, pull a name at the phone book. Hello is this Charise Dumont? Yes? Can you loan me two hundred dollars? Thank you so much for that, Roy. Don't go away, people, The Daily Show will be right back after this with Hot Stayley.

Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is basketball Hall of Fame player and coach Don't stay she's here to talk about her legendary w NBA career and making history as head coach of the national champions South Carolina women's basketball team. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome. Don't stayle coach stay welcome to the Daily Show. Thanks for having me. This is pretty cool. This is pretty cool, right, you know. I mean it's not as many people as

you are normally in front of when you're coaching. But if we would make do we make? Do you know? Actually actually some some teams only get this amount people in the stands? Yeah, yeah, we we average about twelve thousand. Oh, I mean you got you got twelve thousand. I mean, um, let's start with with the most important part of the interview. Congratulations first of all, champions, Thank you. Um. I'd love to know which victory is sweeter, because the first time

is like, wow, we did it. The second time it's 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 Yukon, and Yukon is considered, you know, the very best tradition, their history and all of that, so it wasn't really validated in seventeen, but this year we got a chance to play them and and it felt great

beating them. How do you control your urge to be frustrated because you are a gold medal winner, you are Hall of Family, You've done it at the highest level, like shooting at a moment where you're like, give me the ball, I'll shoot you. What I'm telling you, like, how do you not do that? Because I actually do it. I mean, it's the thing. It's just like, you know, I got a dog, Champ. His name is Champ right named after named after our seventeen team. Um, 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 is good and I give him, you know, great, good job, good job, my god. And then if he does something bad, party in the house. No, no party in the house. No. So you you have to flow with what's happening. Now he doesn't party 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. So it's the same.

I don't mean I don't mean to just say, you know, training people is like training my No, But I just your mentality is what you're saying, the way you have to approach what you're trying to do. I understand it highs and lows. Like like if one of our players, if she does something that's that's terrible, I'm saying that's terrible, Like, that's really terrible. But if they if they do something great, I'm chest bumping, I'm pumping, I'm I give it. It's

emotion that's needed. I love that. You know, 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. M What I 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 are the same as the male coaches who also kicking ass in the sport. And it was really amazing that you did that because you look beyond yourself. I want to know why you felt it was that important to do it the way because some people just go, I've got the money, thank

you very much. You said, no, I want to make sure that everyone in this position gets the money they deserve. So just to be clear, I was actually making a lot of money before the contract. 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 Double A Tournament. Um, we saw there was a lot of inequities, um in the women's game and the men's game, Like we didn't get the same things are student athletes didn't get the same things as the men's tournament student athletes got. So I'm out there on the national level, I'm writing letters saying this has got to change. Right. So I get home and I'm just like I'm out here nationally asking for things to change when they're not

either there there worse here 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 who just equal pay is a law. I think everybody knows that, right, it's a law, Like it's a law, um, But but it's not just for sports, but other professions like women. Again, women have been fighting for this for the longest. And you know, if we do the same work and we're

as successful, I mean, what's what's what's the difference? Right? I love that. I love that you pushed for that. I love that you set a presson from the sports, and I love that you're doing your thing. You know, people love your style on the court. They go like, like you you you'll you'll put together outfits that people love, you know, you know, I remember there's that letterman jacket that you had, and you had like the Louis Va tons and people were like, this is the most stylish

coach and she's winning. At the same time, you you you advocate for other women in the industry. And what I love is that you you you proudly advocate for black people to succeed within the sport. You do something that's really special with with the nets that I really loved, and everyone cuts that championship nets and and they've got to. But what you do with this really special help If you don't mind, would you share there with everyone? I will well in UM in two thousand and seventeen, UM

the first black coach that won a national championship. Her name is Carolyn peck Uh. Probably two years before we won, she gave me a piece of her nineteen nine championship net and she said, I want you to hold this until you win your national championship, and then I want you to return it. And then I was able to do that two years later, which was two thousand and seventeen, and then she said, now I want you to go find the next coach that you give your piece of

the net too. And 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 gonna give it to? And I hadn't and I was like, okay, well this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give it to every black female Division one coach because they're looking at me and and and and dreaming of what I just accomplished by winning the national championship. And I 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, and the national championship is is um coaching the first generation college graduate. That's a that's a national championship in some people's eyes. Or or if they're having a hard day, just touched that piece of Nightline to give them the hope and the push to get through a hard day. Um now not yeah, yeah, now, no, we want another

national championship. So what I've promised is to give them to black men because their instinct and our and our and our sport. And also a black journalist because we need we need black journalists in the room to give a different perspective. Doesn't mean it's right or wrong, it's just a different perspective when we can world. That's why you're the coach. Thank you so much for joinning on

the show and congratulations on all your success. Wow. All right, people, be sure to follow the Game Cocks and check out Dawn's podcast net Life with Dawn Stanley.
