Speaker 1: Oh this has been fun. Welcome to it. The final
Speaker 1: night of the Daily show in Atlanta. Join everybody in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Oh and I can feel I can feel the city
Speaker 1: starting to seep into my bones. I can feel it.
Speaker 1: You know. It feels good. Yeah, I'm starting to become
Speaker 1: more and more Atlanta. Even even the way I said
Speaker 1: when I got here, every time I said, I would
Speaker 1: say Atlanta, I'll say Atlanta. I'm in Atlanta, Atlanta. And
Speaker 1: then I started noticing all of a sudden, I was
Speaker 1: like Atlanta Atlanta. But he was gone. The tea started
Speaker 1: eating away. Yea. By the time I leave, I'll just
Speaker 1: be like Lanta Atlanta. Now I understand how mumble rapper
Speaker 1: was invented here. I get it. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: shrink all the words had and I had having Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I get it now. Oh and we've had so much fun.
Speaker 1: It has been so much fun. You know. We've eaten food,
Speaker 1: We've gone out, We've seen the sights and the sounds.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we went out as a whole group, went to
Speaker 1: Magic City. You know. Oh yeah, I will say the
Speaker 1: worst magicians ever. The only thing that disappeared was my money.
Speaker 1: And I will say we came to Atlanta to have
Speaker 1: a good time, and I have not been disappointed. We
Speaker 1: have not been disappointed. In fact, we've been lucky that
Speaker 1: we came when we came, because this has been a
Speaker 1: rarely momentous week in that freedom has been achieved in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: And I think you know what I'm talking about. As
Speaker 1: of this week, the Atlanta Zoo has announced that people
Speaker 1: are once again and allowed to bring their guns when
Speaker 1: they visit. And I was like, wow, you really don't
Speaker 1: mess around with Second Amendment in this town. Huh, the
Speaker 1: whole South, even if the zoo people are strapped. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just packing their lunch and being like and bring the glock.
Speaker 1: You never know, you never know, just walking in like, yeah,
Speaker 1: now let's see that. Parents say something, say something, Rob
Speaker 1: say something, Yeah, say something, say something. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right, that's right. Yeah, you're pretty cool parents.
Speaker 1: And you know, if you ignore all the terrible reasons,
Speaker 1: I mean, having guns at the zoo is actually a
Speaker 1: really great idea. You know, think about it. Think about
Speaker 1: how many times you've been disappointed you go to the
Speaker 1: zoo and what happens? The animals are sleeping when you
Speaker 1: get there. Not anymore. Just walk up to that enclosure.
Speaker 1: Pap pa pa, pa pa, ah, the panda's awake. Now
Speaker 1: look at him, Oh, look at him running for cover.
Speaker 1: You know, the only way you can get more exciting
Speaker 1: is if they said, it's not just the people, right,
Speaker 1: they should go all the way. They should give the
Speaker 1: animals guns too. I think that's what we should do, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're the ones who are gonna be there.
Speaker 1: It's only it's only fair to them. Give them guns
Speaker 1: as well. See what happens, Huh, it's gonna be exciting.
Speaker 1: Every single exhibit is gonna turn into a Mexican standoff.
Speaker 1: Those people walking in like, honey, honey, honey, keep the
Speaker 1: kids behind me, Keep the kids behind Stay cool, Stay cool, penguins,
Speaker 1: stay cool. Slots, no sudden moves, No sudden moves. Snakes,
Speaker 1: let me see those hands, all right, nobody needs to
Speaker 1: go extinct today at latter now now look obviously, obviously,
Speaker 1: other than the armed animals, the reason we're here, and
Speaker 1: the reason we're excited to be here is because the
Speaker 1: mid terms are around the corner. Right. If everybody focusing
Speaker 1: on Georgia five days away and your race are coming
Speaker 1: down to the wire, can I tell you all right?
Speaker 1: Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock neck and neck, which is wild.
Speaker 1: Means that something happens to herschel Walker could be elected
Speaker 1: senator next week. Yeah, I mean I also hope it
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. I mean that would be crazy, herschel Walker
Speaker 1: as a senator. Can you imagine how that would mess
Speaker 1: with the whole capital? You know, take your child to work.
Speaker 1: There's gonna feel like another insurrection. Was just gonna be
Speaker 1: like they're storming the capital. All no, wait, wait, did
Speaker 1: herschel Walker's kids? It's all of his kids because like
Speaker 1: allegedly my kids. You know, this whole midterm campaign has
Speaker 1: gotten so extreme it almost feels like Republicans are running
Speaker 1: a political science experiment just to see how crazy a
Speaker 1: candidate can be and still get people to vote for them.
Speaker 1: It almost feels like that what can they do before
Speaker 1: people say no, I wouldn't vote for them. So someone
Speaker 1: like Mitch McConnell's just in the lab, you know, just
Speaker 1: working away, Like all right, they routed for a herschel Walker.
Speaker 1: Let's try a bag and watch Spaghetta knocks, see if
Speaker 1: they're going for them. And I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: seen this, but herschel Walker has gone from beefing with
Speaker 1: reality to beefing with Barack Obama. And if you've seen this, yeah,
Speaker 1: that they've got a thing going back, because obviously Obama
Speaker 1: roasted him in Georgia right over the weekend. And then
Speaker 1: Walker shot back shot back that he could quote put
Speaker 1: his resume up against Obama's anytime. First of all, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't even matter if Walker's resume was more in President
Speaker 1: Obama's because Obama's has aligned in his resume. That says
Speaker 1: not crazy, that carries a lot of weight in the
Speaker 1: job interview. But also, Obama was president people, he was
Speaker 1: president for two times. Husha Walker can't even carry any
Speaker 1: of his pregnancies to two chimes. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Are you serious? Right now? I'm kidding. His resume is impressive,
Speaker 1: I mean, and any resume is impressive when you can
Speaker 1: just make it up, right. I was a cup, I
Speaker 1: was an FBI agent, a ballerina. I discovered nitrogen, also
Speaker 1: am nitrogen. The list goes on and are but yeah,
Speaker 1: Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail. He's back
Speaker 1: out there trying to get people hipped up. You're trying
Speaker 1: to get the people voting, all right, He's hitting all
Speaker 1: the string states around the country and last night. Last nights,
Speaker 1: both Obama and President Biden made big speeches about how
Speaker 1: there is a lot more at stake in this election
Speaker 1: than which party gets used the good bothroom at the Senates.
Speaker 1: Folks can win if we don't do our part. And
Speaker 1: if you've got election, den I are serving as your governor,
Speaker 1: as your senator, as your Secretary of State, as your
Speaker 1: attorney general, then democracy as we know it may not
Speaker 1: survive in Arizona. That's not an exaggeration, that is a fact.
Speaker 1: This year. I hope you'll make the future of our
Speaker 1: democracy an important part of your decision to vote and
Speaker 1: how you vote. In our bones, we know democracy at
Speaker 1: risk is at risk, right, I heard what he said,
Speaker 1: though he said in bones we know democracy. That means
Speaker 1: we're screwed. Yeah. Whenever an old person feels something in
Speaker 1: their bones, it means the storms are coming. I feel
Speaker 1: it in my bones. See to that or I'll steal porosis.
Speaker 1: But I think it's a storm. By the way, I
Speaker 1: love seeing Biden and Obama both doing speeches back to back. No,
Speaker 1: because sometimes you think that you're imagining it. You're like
Speaker 1: Obama had more energy. I have Boma and then when
Speaker 1: you see it you're like, no, they have very different
Speaker 1: energies that they bring. You know. It's almost like seeing
Speaker 1: a before and after of a night cool commercial, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that like the one is better
Speaker 1: or worse. It's like a level of excitement. You know. Basically,
Speaker 1: Obama is the Beyonce concert and then like Biden is
Speaker 1: the traffic on the way home. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? That's what it feels like. Actually, actually, you
Speaker 1: know what it Actually Obama is like me right before
Speaker 1: every dinner I had an Atlanta this week, and then
Speaker 1: Biden is like me after every dinner I had an
Speaker 1: Atlanta this week. Yeah, I would walk into busy Bee
Speaker 1: and I'll be like, let's do this. I'm gonna dominate
Speaker 1: this fried chicken plate. And then after I'd be like,
Speaker 1: I did not feel confident about the future of my stomach.
Speaker 1: I can feel it in my bones. But but look,
Speaker 1: however they're saying. It's however they're saying. Obama and Biden
Speaker 1: are making the same point, and it's a salient one.
Speaker 1: This election is about whether America wants to continue being
Speaker 1: a democracy, all right, And that's actually a tough sell,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, it really is because ironically, democracy
Speaker 1: isn't what's on people's minds right now. Right, people are
Speaker 1: paying more for groceries, they pay more for gas, right,
Speaker 1: and Democrats are going, yeah, we know that sucks, but democracy,
Speaker 1: and voters are like, can I eat democracy? Can I
Speaker 1: fill my tank with democracy? It's a challenge, it really is.
Speaker 1: And it's a challenge because if you think about humans,
Speaker 1: we wouldn't evolve like this, right, Humans didn't evolve to
Speaker 1: think long term, right, If you think about we're designed
Speaker 1: to put long term problems over immediate problems. That's just
Speaker 1: that's just how we are, all Right. The caveman who
Speaker 1: was worried about the saber tooth tiger, I was worried
Speaker 1: about surviving. That guy survived, but too tiger survived around
Speaker 1: the caveman who are sitting in the cave like, oh,
Speaker 1: I wonder how we could make our hunting practices more sustainable.
Speaker 1: That guy died, right, he was right, but he died.
Speaker 1: And this is one of the flaws of democracy. It's
Speaker 1: it's a weird flow when you consider it. Right, It's
Speaker 1: not just the fact that it can fold at any time,
Speaker 1: but it's also the fact that the people who are
Speaker 1: anti democracy can use democracy to get into power and
Speaker 1: then end democracy. And if you if you want to
Speaker 1: see a silly example of how unpredictable voting can be,
Speaker 1: look look at what happened when people got to vote
Speaker 1: on what the election sticker should look like. A sticker
Speaker 1: design contest that went viral this year is making good
Speaker 1: at its promise to an Ulster County team a few
Speaker 1: months ago. The Counties I Voted sticker contest made headlines
Speaker 1: all great designs, but one just happened to get some
Speaker 1: national attention. Hudson Rowan's design you can see it right there,
Speaker 1: gave away with more than nine percent of the vote. Man,
Speaker 1: that is crazy, like coming the counties New I vote
Speaker 1: sticker for election. See say, that's what can happen? And
Speaker 1: I mean I do. I do love this. Don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong. I've always wanted to see Giuliani's baby pictures,
Speaker 1: but but this is what can happen. And you heard
Speaker 1: what they said. You heard what they said. This sticker
Speaker 1: got ninety of the vote. You realize there's no politician
Speaker 1: who gets that kind of support, right, but you know
Speaker 1: this competition got me thinking people go so crazy over
Speaker 1: these stickers that, in fact, I think we should use that.
Speaker 1: You know what we should do is we should use
Speaker 1: that energy. There's so many people who only vote for
Speaker 1: the sticker. I know some people who are like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to vote so I can get the sticker,
Speaker 1: Like what about the election? I just want that stick up?
Speaker 1: Maybe we should use that enthusiasm to save that democracy, right,
Speaker 1: you could use save democracy. In addition to an I
Speaker 1: voted sticker, from now on, they should also have an
Speaker 1: I accept the results of the election sticker. Yeah, that way.
Speaker 1: That way the day after the election, when somebody is like,
Speaker 1: you know the vote was stolen by robot pedophiles, Ah,
Speaker 1: you want this stick up? I'm like, oh, Mike Pence
Speaker 1: is lucky. I like stickers more than he's a knack.
Speaker 1: I'll take it, all right. We gotta take a quick break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, We're gotta take a sneak peek
Speaker 1: at America's Hearts Is Voting competition. You don't want to
Speaker 1: miss it. We're in Atlanta the final night. Thank you everybody,
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Thank you. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. George's State Republicans have passed several voting restrictions
Speaker 1: in the past year, which is both bad news and
Speaker 1: good news. Surprisingly, the bad news is that the restrictions
Speaker 1: make voting in much of much harder. The good news
Speaker 1: is that it has led to America's Hearts You competition show.
Speaker 1: Hello to you at home. I'm Roy with Junior. She's Jasilidic,
Speaker 1: and we are welcomed you to the most electrifying challenge
Speaker 1: in all of democracy. That's right, Roy, We're live at
Speaker 1: the Fulton County Middle School where ballot casting warriors are
Speaker 1: ready to vote their hearts out, but only only if
Speaker 1: they can overcome the grueling and somehow legal obstacles placed
Speaker 1: before that. This is Georgia Ninjela voter. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: thought I thought I was going to take that line. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is George all right, Daisy. Let's meet today's voters.
Speaker 1: Mary at his own Trade Johnson. This guy is a
Speaker 1: beast with a balance in fact about trade Jasi. His
Speaker 1: first vote was for Obama and he's been disappointed ever since. Next,
Speaker 1: we've got Mabel Simmons. You know she never misses a
Speaker 1: vote because church and elections are the only thing on
Speaker 1: her calendar, not even her grandkids birthdays. Nope, she's got
Speaker 1: those memorizes A twelve. That's way too many children. Rookie
Speaker 1: voter alert. Georgia Tech sophomore Christianis Saunders has entered the
Speaker 1: electoral arena. This meticulous biochemistry major has checked her registration
Speaker 1: for not that four times. But will it be enough?
Speaker 1: Roy As? You know, voting is the cornerstone of democracy,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean it's easy. No, it isn't Das.
Speaker 1: Georgia has closed hundreds of polling locations in the past decade,
Speaker 1: So your first obstacle is getting to yours before it
Speaker 1: shuts down. That's why I mail in. And if by
Speaker 1: some miracle they're pulling places still open, these voters need
Speaker 1: to endure the unnecessary brutality of the line Jesus calling
Speaker 1: to Jesus, but Jesus ain't home. These voters are some
Speaker 1: of the most well trained in the entire country, but
Speaker 1: that might not be enough to overcome some new rules
Speaker 1: this year, like the awkwill disqualifier. Uh sorry, water handouts
Speaker 1: are now illegal. It almost sounds made up, but it's real. Now.
Speaker 1: Remember you don't have to vote on election day, That's true, Daisy.
Speaker 1: You can always use a drop box, but first you
Speaker 1: gotta find one. Gotta find one, see Roy, Georgia got
Speaker 1: rid of so many drop boxes since but I'm sure
Speaker 1: the ones they kept are good enough. Right, Okay, she's
Speaker 1: up and she's got oh but a second of better constant.
Speaker 1: She was not close at all. This course really shows
Speaker 1: no mercy, Roy, Yes, unless you're voting in the suburbs
Speaker 1: and it's actually pretty easy. Yeah yeah, who so good
Speaker 1: look to all our voters this year. Good luck. I'm
Speaker 1: jazzy lighted. This is Roywood Jr. And remember to go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom first. Doesn't line at the polls so
Speaker 1: long last election, I pissed my pants. Need you both there?
Speaker 1: Both right? Where? Would junior? And doesn't like to everybody?
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for all the concessus. All right,
Speaker 1: stay tuned because when we come back, Atlanta legend Dominic
Speaker 1: Wilkins will be joining me right here on the show.
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss it. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Daily Show. My Guests to Nights is an NBA Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer known as the human Highlight Film. He's currently
Speaker 1: Vice president of basketball Operations for the Atlanta Hawks and
Speaker 1: board chairman of the organization Culture City. Please welcome Dominique Wilkins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the man themok, the legend. Welcome to the Day Show.
Speaker 1: Thank you glad to be here. Man, it is such
Speaker 1: an honor to have you on the show. Although you know,
Speaker 1: I told my brother, I said, you know, we're having
Speaker 1: Dominique Wilkins on the show, and he was like, this
Speaker 1: is amazing. He's a legend. You know, he loves basketball.
Speaker 1: And then I said to him, you know, his nickname
Speaker 1: is the Human Highlight Film and he said he should
Speaker 1: change us to the human like TikTok or human YouTube
Speaker 1: because no one watches film anymore. The kids. The kids
Speaker 1: don't know what that is, but they still know your
Speaker 1: dunks though. How does it feel to do something so
Speaker 1: well that, regardless of the generation, people still recognize you
Speaker 1: as one of the greats, one of the greatest to
Speaker 1: ever do it? You know, you know, I always believe,
Speaker 1: I always believe you play, you play for the people
Speaker 1: and because the people who make who who you are.
Speaker 1: And I've been that way ever since I was in
Speaker 1: high school. And that you know, I played as hard
Speaker 1: as I could and I only knew how to play
Speaker 1: one speed and that was all out and uh, it
Speaker 1: was the way that we looked at each other, way
Speaker 1: we competed back in those days. I mean, you had
Speaker 1: no nights off, so you had to bring your a
Speaker 1: game every single night. The game has completely changed because
Speaker 1: players now have an outsized influence, you know, as opposed
Speaker 1: to what your generation had. I mean, you you see
Speaker 1: the news even just recently, you know, the Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: saying okay, you know, Steve Nash, its signed for you
Speaker 1: to go, and people saying, wow, are we really living
Speaker 1: in the era where players have more power than the
Speaker 1: team slashed the coach and you know, and not even
Speaker 1: commenting on that story. It seems like sports has has changed,
Speaker 1: the NBA has changed in terms of where the power lies.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's good for the game, But I
Speaker 1: think it's good things and bad things about you know.
Speaker 1: I really admired these guys kind of you know, having
Speaker 1: their own destiny, create their own destiny to do something
Speaker 1: something great for themselves. And they do have a lot
Speaker 1: more power than we had because we didn't we didn't
Speaker 1: go to different teams. We played in one organization, you know,
Speaker 1: most of our career. And I gotta say I was
Speaker 1: proud to play in Atlanta for most of my career
Speaker 1: because I could have went to others. I could have
Speaker 1: went to other teams and play, but I wanted to
Speaker 1: win here. It didn't happen. But you know, when I
Speaker 1: look back on it, I don't have any regrets. So
Speaker 1: you know, I love the fact that they had their
Speaker 1: own power. Now, um, now it's stay is back in
Speaker 1: our day. I loved more U just from a competition standpoint,
Speaker 1: when you know you gotta play this magic Johnson one night, Jordan,
Speaker 1: one night, dr j one night, this is every single night.
Speaker 1: So it was tough every night out and so I
Speaker 1: had to make sure that I was focused, had to
Speaker 1: make sure our team was focused to compete on the
Speaker 1: level that you know, the organization expected. And so for me,
Speaker 1: Atlanta really made me who are the people here in Atlanta?
Speaker 1: You guys made me who I am? And you know, so, um,
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I feel like their
Speaker 1: native sun here, you know. And I've never left And
Speaker 1: even though I played another teams and went away for
Speaker 1: a short time, I never really left Atlanta. And Atlanta
Speaker 1: is my home even though I'm not from here. I
Speaker 1: love that. I love that you you You've made it
Speaker 1: your home and You've created so much in that new home.
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk about, you know, what you do
Speaker 1: outside of basketball, even though it ties into sport as
Speaker 1: a whole, and and and in particular talking about Culture City,
Speaker 1: you now, as you said, part of an organization that
Speaker 1: really is tasked with more inclusivity, finding people who have
Speaker 1: venues or areas of their world and their lives that
Speaker 1: don't cater to them. You know, it feels like this
Speaker 1: becomes the second competition for you to engage in. What
Speaker 1: what is your end goal? What do you hope society
Speaker 1: as a whole will get to. Well, you know, health
Speaker 1: care is kind of my calling now, and you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how much that meant to me until
Speaker 1: my daughter was affected by a special needs and Culture
Speaker 1: City has been that organization to stand on the wall
Speaker 1: for so many people. We have over twelve hundred venues
Speaker 1: around the world that we've trained people how to deal
Speaker 1: with people dealing with special needs. And most of the people,
Speaker 1: the majority of people are have hidden disabilities. So it's
Speaker 1: a lot of hidden disabilities, disabilities, visible with disabilities, PTSD, autism,
Speaker 1: all these different things that we deal with every day.
Speaker 1: But we we take those problems head on, and we
Speaker 1: help people change their lives and it's all about finding
Speaker 1: healthy out. Sara was gonna take that so much that
