dead at a grocery store in boulder, colorado, on march 22nd, and just a week before, eight victims at atlanta area spas. a painful list while adding another city this week. >> and as this community begins to heal, two vigils planned today and as investigations continue to push forward, we know that officials will be reviewing the evidence collected at the suspect's home yesterday and they will also continue interviewing witnesses in hopes of finding a motive. alex? >> a tragic event to say the least. kathy park, thank you for that update. >> let's go now to the breaking news from chicago. that city bracing for more protests today as calls grow for justice in the police shooting death of 13-year-old adam toledo. let's go to nbc's rehema ellis who joins us with more on this. how would you describe the scene there today? >> reporter: i would say it's peaceful here today right now, and last night there were two arrests from the largest demonstration to date and the demonstration which was mostly peaceful, but people are demanding accountability following the police shooting death of this 13-year-

what's your view of mlb pulling the all-star game from atlanta? >> i think that is the kind of thing to expect to see when you actually create legislation that restricts or reduces the potential for people to vote opposed to expanding. this -- you know, the governor said, also, there were no issues with the election on january 5th or in november when the presidential election took place. but all of a sudden we have to put restrictions in place that limit the ability for people to vote and then you may even say if people happen to give individuals water for standing in line for long periods of time that that's illegal. there's something draconian and seriously wrong with what we are seeing. >> yeah. i think there's a lot that agree with that and including two black executives who called on companies to directly oppose the new georgia laws and some americans like american airlines, dell, delta, coca-cola put out statements for the first time i might add. do you think that public pressure played a role here. how much does it help after the law has pa

the atlanta mayor is also speaking out against the law today. we've got both aspects covered by nbc's deepa who's covering from atlanta. let's talk about what we heard from mayor keisha lance bottoms who also spoke about this earlier today. >> reporter: you're hearing from democratic and republican leaders about this very kofrl voting bill that was passed by the governor just a little over a week ago, one that really does restrict voting measures in this state, making it really difficult, particularly in the suburbs of this atlanta region, right, communities of color, largely black voters, asian voters, folks who are, you know, turning out in record numbers in this last election like we saw, especially in that special election earlier this year. now harder, essentially, to cast a ballot going forward, and what you're seeing is democratic lawmakers speaking out and kind of saying, you know, this is going to have financial impacts for the state as well and that's something we're already seeing with major league baseball pulling its all-star game o

just imagine taking a high-speed train chicago to atlanta. most americans wouldn't imagine doing that trip by rail and that's less than beijing and shanghai and they built the most popular high-speed rail line in the world. but just not chicago and atlanta but nashville, indianapolis, all these cities in between that have been left out of this next generation economy. that's why high-speed rail is so significant. yes, i'll be fighting for more but we'll take what we can get and be a start. >> i got to say having traveled orr in europe that's a wonderful high-speed rail from city to city and see the country that way so i applaud those efforts. let's talk about what senator mcconnell is saying about the plan generally. >> as much as we would like to address infrastructure, it is not going to get sun port from our side because i think what the economy -- the last thing the economy needs right now is a big whopping tax increase on all the productive sections of our economy. >> with that no support approach from republicans is this plan going to h

shame on the atlanta braves for the ridiculous statement they released. good luck to other teams who don't have active voter suppression or general people oppression laws in place. i was a member of the state legislature a long time ago. the reality is republican legislators try to call themselves fundamentally pro business, but look here, business ain't coming to your state if you're oppressing people and suppressing people's right to vote. business is not coming in the face of human oppression. that needs to be the new standard going forward. i hope these deeply red legislatures realize we can't detach economic behavior from the social construct. >> guys, appreciate you so much, good seeing you. >>> if you want evidence that america's covid-19 battle is far from over, one state is exhibit "a" in this story. ♪ for decades, most bladder leak pads were similar. until always discreet changed that. by inventing a revolutionary pad, that's incredibly thin. because it protects differently. with two rapiddry layers that overlap, where you need it most. for st

the atlanta journal constitution described a scene that showed how personal things had gotten. quote, moments after gaveling the legislative session to an end early thursday, house speaker stood before a bank of tv cameras and admitted something that many lifelong georgians would never say publicly. he purposely cracked open a pepsi. it wnt be a surprise if either company doesn't have a seat at the table when it comes to policy decisions going forward. i mean, currently the two most famous companies in georgia, does the hypocrisy of these snowflake brigade know no bounds. they lecture us for being too thin skins, on the need for free speech, so why this ridiculously hostile response to the delta ceo's freedom of speech? they're probably not going to be happy that other corporate leaders are also exercising their right to free speak, like tim cook who said today american history is the story of expanding the right to vote to all citizens and black people in particular have had to march, struggle, and even give their lives for more than a century to defend that right. gosh, i won

i mean pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, colorado, portland, oregon, atlanta, georgia, wherever, they look like they're going to war. they have shields, big equipment, and they do that because they want to let people protesting know who is in charge, who holds the authority, who will bend the knee who whom. that's the point. explicitly, it's a psychological performance. that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, show of force with curfews, tear gas and flash bangs. take all the footage before last summer, since and now. take all that and look for a moment at utter inversion of what happened on the steps of the capitol in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean there were officers there, right? covered multiple protests in washington and tends to be a lot of cops around when people are protesting particularly on the mall and capitol. but january 6th, almost no one there. don't have the big wraps and huge bits of equipment, little stanchions in front of them look like bike racks. but not just fortifying, but notable in the interactio

i mean, pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, portland, atlanta -- wherever, they look like. that they look like they're going to war. they have shields. they have big equipment. and they do that because they want to let people protesting know who is in charge. who holds the authority. who will bend the need to whom. that's the point. explicitly. it's a psychological performance. >> that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, a show of force with curfews and tear gas. flashbacks. and now just take all of that footage we've seen. before last summer, during last summer, and since, and now. take all of that. and just look for a moment at the utter in version of what happened on the steps of the capital in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean, there are officers there, right? i've covered multiple protests in washington. there tends to be a lot of cops around. particularly on the mall, on the capital. but on january six, there was relatively speaking, no one there. they don't have the big man huge fits of equipment brought in. the

today the mlb announced it's moving the all star game from atlanta. where do you stand on this? do you welcome that move? >> listen, our actions have consequence. we've said for months now that voter suppression is bad for business. we said it directly to corporations and what you're seeing now is american voters who are voting with their dollars, that we've not seen a retraction, a retrenchment, we've seen republican legislatures across the country double down, that there are -- there's been a 43% increase in the number of anti-voting bills in legislatures across the country. i maintain that this is one of, if not the central organizing issue for the gop in this moment. the white lash that we are living through, that we are experiencing as a result of elevated voter participation has been severe, and it's been widespread, and that's why we're suing, and that's why we're calling on congress to pass hr 1 and hr 4 because fighting this piecemeal state by state by state is inefficient -- >> exactly. >> -- and we don't have time. there are municipal elections that are coming up this

right now, to your point, there is 4 million people across the country, approximately, from atlanta to orange county here in southern california that used some type of this technology. singapore relies largely on this technology. l.a., to give you an idea, would double the people in the united states that is drinking recycled wastewater, and that really is extraordinary in and of itself. >> jacob soboroff, a great, great report, and thank you for this delicious, mineral-free recycled water. thanks a lot, man. >> cheers, my friend. all right, that is "all in." the rachel maddow show starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> you're such a good man and you're a dad, chris, and every once in a while we have to remind ourselves there is an eight-year-old that lives inside you. >> you cannot imagine the number of jokes i've made about this segment in a run-up to today and throughout the day and on the commercial break before this aired, it's been essentially nonstop. >> i know, i know. because i know there is an eight-year-old that lives inside you. not the part that drives and parents and

mlb moving game from atlanta to denver in response to georgia republicans passing and signing into law new restrictive voter access law. republicans promptly responded with the extended performative whining that's become a central hallmark of modern conservative politics. >> do you believe major league baseball will live to regret this decision? >> yeah, i think they will. almost comical, people here and all over the country have figured this out, they're outraged and sick and tired of cancel cover. >> that's brian kemp, pushing the lie that georgia's law is to make it easier to vote and anybody who says otherwise is trying to cancel georgia, i guess. republican party as we said is radicalizing against democracy, lost an election with highest turnout in recent memories and set themselves to doing everything to make it harder to vote, in the hopes, possibly misguided, it will help them win. this isn't happening in back room. we've all watched it, watched them propagate the toxic big lie that the election was rigged, leading to violent insurrection that killed a police officer. that was

mlb announcing the game is moving from atlanta to denver due to georgia passing the new voter access law. republicans responded with the announcement for the extended line that has been a central hallmark of modern conservative politics. >> do you believe major league baseball will live to regret this decision? >> yeah. i think they will. the people here and all over the country have figured it out. they are outraged and sick and tired of the cancel culture. >> that is brian kemp who was pushing the lie that georgia's voter suppression law is designed to make it easier to vote and everyone is trying to cancel georgia i guess. the republican party as we said is radicalizing against democracy. they lost an election that had the highest turn out in recent memory and now they set themselves to make it harder to vote in the hopes, possibly misguided, that it will then help them win. this is not happening in a back room. we watched it. we watched them prop gate the big lie that the election was rigged leading to the violent insurrection that killed a police officer. now republicans are usi

you have atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms signing an order. i mean, that might blunt the impact, i suppose, but how do you make sure that voters are able, equipped to combat these efforts? >> you know, i think that we do need to have education as part of it, which is why our organization and many other organizations on the ground are doing voter education work. we've been engaged. some of the mobilizization didn't just up and happen. that came after people working on the ground, working with communities, working with groups, educating them about the opportunity to vote, educating them about the significance of voting and the impact of their votes. and so they responded to that. the other way is there a we have to safeguard people's right to vote, that we cannot allow legislation that is punitive that, punishes people for participating in the process. that's essentially what is happening. so georgia voters are now under attack, particularly black voters are under attack because they came out in record numbers this last election cycle. and so wh

images and these devastating murders of unarmed black americans and also what recently happened in atlanta, an instance of white supremacy and misogyny against the aapi community. this recovery needs to be one that is trauma informed and we need to make sure there are resources that people can get help that they need, eliminate those barriers and i'm calling for my children act to be a framework within that. in that this is black maternal health week, we are sitting in the disparate health outcomes and the racial injustices, this is another issue. my grandmother died in the 1950s in child birth and the fact that right now in 2021 that black women could still be four times more likely to die in child birth or in birthing complications is simply unacceptable and those concerns and those realities have only worsened under the pandemic which is why i've introduced the covid-19 safe birthing act to ensure that there are those protections because ensuring a safe pregnancy should be a fundamental human right and not a privilege. >> as i listen to you talk, part of what i am struck by is that we a

ever let the system off the hook, whether it's in columbus, whether it's in minnesota, whether it's in atlanta, georgia, whether it's in my hometown of st. louis, missouri. all of american policing has to be put on trial because until we get past the place of accountability and fully to the place of prevention, we still have work to do. >> clint, it's scary, as brittany said. it's also completely misreading the systems that undergird this. republican senator tim scott told nbc news there are four sticking points in the george floyd act for him. ending qualified immunity, restricting no knock warrants and the use of former defense department weapons and banning the choke hold. without those elements, can you really call it reform? >> i don't think so. and i think that part of what we have to understand is that this act is important. and it is important as a means of harm mitigation, as a means of preventing further violence from being enacted against people in this moment. but it is not in and of itself the answer. outside of the criminal legal system, it's hard to think of any other places in

the league pulled its all star game out of atlanta protesting the state's new resouth africa difference voting law. and now pressure is building on major companies to stop similar efforts in texas, arizona and beyond. georgia's governor is doubling down on a law that he actually argues with a straight face is about expanding ballot access. >> secure accessible fair elections are worth the threat, they are worth the boycott and the lawsuit. i want to be clear, i will not be backing down from this fight. and neither are the people who are here with me today. >> governor kemp failed to mention the fact that georgia republicans passed this law after spreading lies about unfounded voter fraud in the 2020 election nor the fact that the state gop pushed restrictive voting bills after voters turned the state blue. as for president biden, the white house released a statement today saying that he supports the move from mlb to move the all-star game out of georgia. so where does the pressure campaign go from here? joining us now, bishop jackson who is leading the movement to hold companies respons

today georgia's governor hit back in pager league baseball for moving the all-star game out of atlanta. >> major league baseball put the wishes of stacey abrams and joe biden ahead of the economic well-being of hardworking georgians. >>> more than 40 states are considering restrictive bills. what could this mean for them? >>>

. >> congressman, you went to atlanta with the congressional delegation to pay your respects to the families of the victims of the shooting that took place there a little over two weeks ago now. what did you hear from them? what did they tell you? >> well, we met with some of the families of the victims and we, you know, while we can never comprehend what they are going through, we thank them because they told us about their moms' stories. they told us about how hard they worked. one of their biggest points of sadness was that their moms will never be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor after years and decades of working, you know, almost virtually every single day, barely taking a day off. and we are thankful for their families telling those stories because it actually tells the stories of so many asian-american women across this country and in our history, stories which have been ignored for way too long. >> when we talk about a community being under attack, there's some of the violent acts we're seeing, but there's also being a victim of the voter suppression laws sweeping the country

tia mitch, washington correspondent for "the atlanta journal constitution." laura, here is how senator bernie sanders described biden's new information plan this morning. take a listen. >> roads and bridges and tunnels are infrastructure. but i think many of us see a crisis in human infrastructure, when a working class family can't find good quality, affordable childcare, that's human infrastructure. >> lauren, you've reported on this new plan. how is biden expanding what has traditionally been thought of as infrastructure with this plan? >> so they put it into two categories. you've got traditional infrastructure, as they've said, roads, bridges. these are aspects that do need fixing. we are ranked 13th in the world for infrastructure. so they are really making the case for physical infrastructure. but there's also human infrastructure, which gets at our health care system, our system of caring for disabled and elderly americans, our schools, aspects that are very, very important to our economy, democrats will argue, and to the people who -- you know, to the

baseball pulled all-star game out of atlanta. and attacked woke political activists. >> major league baseball caved to fear and lies from liberal activists, coming to cancel everything from sports to how you make a living. they will stop at nothing to silence all of us. >> tim, clearly this is the free market at work but it is striking to me that on the list of republican enemies, they're taking aim at corporations lining up with pro-democracy, pro-voting advocates. >> this shows how confused the party is about policy, and one thing that ignites them, opposition to racial progress, opposition to the social justice causes. two things happened last week that stuck out to me, one, after delta spoke out against the georgia bill, the georgia republican legislature tried to revoke some of the tax breaks they received for being in-state corporation. then after the major league baseball moved the all-star game, a couple of republican congressmen were saying we should look at their antitrust protections that major league baseball has. now

i remember actually going to the presidential library, carter's library in atlanta and walking around like a mondale geek, i'm looking for joan's dress and those kinds of things from the inauguration. on the wall, i see these words that were actually the words that mondale uttered shortly after they lost, summarizing their four years. and he said, "we told the truth. we obeyed the law. we kept the peace." and that was a lot of my touchtone during the trump years. i had written that down in a piece of paper and put it in my purse. we told the truth, obeyed the law and kept the peace. jimmy carter and walter modale were men of integrity. they bonded on that. what was school having worked for mondale at the law firm afterwards and back on side of my races, including the presidential race, i got to see how the two of them kept talking through time. they would work on things together. carter came out from a funeral just a few years ago and he traveled to minnesota and spoke at her funeral. their friendship strengthened after they left office. >> michael beschloss, it was my privilege at my

now you're going to hear from another great civil rights lawyer who hails out of atlanta, georgia who has actually been in communications with the county attorney for days trying to get this process set, and he's litigated matters all over the country, and never has he been disrespected like today. he will tell you his perspective before i bring out attorney lassiter. >> thank you, ben. 1965, selma, alabama was bloody sunday, resistance of fundamental rights to vote, rights to vote. this family had a fundamental right for transparency that was denied by the county officials, specifically the county attorney because he does not interpret the laws of north carolina. his position is that you had to be a licensed attorney in the state of north carolina to represent. i offered to read the state bar, rules of the bar, he didn't want to read it. we offered the attorney general to him. he didn't want to talk to him. we offered the governor. he told bacari he is not going to be bullied. 20 seconds is not transparency when you got multiple officers gunning down a man with his hands on the steer

but right now, the president is about 150 miles south of atlanta. he's in plains, georgia, visiting there with another president. jimmy carter and his wife rosalynn carter. back in 1976, biden was the first to declare his support for president jimmy carter. >>> right now, kamala harris is speaking about what the administration has done about its first 100 days in office just after visiting a vaccination center at a nearby stadium. live pictures you see right there. all of this comes less than 24 hours after the president and vice president made history during his first address to a joint session of congress. >> madam speaker, madam vice president -- [ applause ] >> no president has ever said those words from this podium. no president has ever said those words. and it's about time. >> we the people are the government. you and i. not some force in a distant capital. not some powerful force we have no control over. it's us. >> joining us now nbc news chief white house correspondent peter alexander traveling with the president in atlanta. and jake sherm

imagine a two-hour train ride between atlanta and charlotte going at speeds of 220 miles per hour. an two and a half hour between chicago and detroit, or faster and more regular trips between los angeles and las vegas, a route that i could imagine could be pretty popular on fridays. bill, as you said, your vision for amtrak calls for a new inner city rail service, up to 160 previously unserved communities being connected. think of what it will mean for opportunity if we can connect milwaukee to green bay to madison. scranton and allentown to new york, indianapolis to louisville, and much, much more. its will provide jobs and also will accommodate jobs. and what this means is towns and cities in danger of being left behind will be back in the game. it means families won't have to sacrifice the cost of living or quality of access to opportunity that sometimes only occurs if they live in a big city. we have a huge opportunity here to provide fast, safe, reliable clean transportation in this country. and transit is part of the infrastructure. and like the rest of our infrastructure, we

first to my buddy jonathan serrie in atlanta. this is good news, jonathan, with better and more efficacy rates in general. what do you make of it? reporter: overall this is fantastic news. even the 9% that might come down with some covid-19 symptoms, it appears this vaccine is 100% effective in blocking the most serious symptoms. now another company is facing a setback. the fda investigating one of johnson & johnson's manufacturing partners after improperly mixed ingredients led to spoiling or wasting of some 15 million doses of covid-19 vaccine. j&j said quality control checks at emergent biosolutions plant in baltimore identified a batch of drug substance not up to standards. it never advanced to the filling and finishing stages. in a statement johnson & johnson says, this is an example of the rigorous quality control applied to each batch of drug substance. the issue was identified, addressed with emergence and the food and drug administration.

going to happen, customers will ultimately squash some of the woke is that people will not go to the atlanta falcons game if author link becomes a social warrior, already them will be from what i understand is getting inundated with complaints from long-term customers on the georgia law and that's when described, no offense but why do i have to fly delta if they are against what i believe and politically. this is going to be a long battle, it is fascinating that corporate america and the republican party are breaking up in corporate america is becoming the party of the left but i'll tell you this if arthur blank or any of these guys, the guy from work think that elizabeth warren and aoc are going to back off because you do and support some of the stuff, they are out of their minds. you cannot buy them all. david: you should throw the chamber of commerce into the mix, they have been speaking woke language the past few months. >> they will never be able to convince aoc that they are good guys. listen look with one with amazon the most progressive company out there is been attacked left and rig

he mentioned major league baseball should boycott atlanta in the espn interview. that put a lot of pressure on him. neil: a lot of pressure. well-put, my friend, thank you very much. charlie gasparino, following all of those developments. the big story of the day right now seems to be johnson & johnson and its vaccine, a pause, something close to 7 million doses administered in this country because of six blood clot related developments not tied to it. the pause is on. we'll see for how long. to charles payne right now. hey, charles. charles: good seeing you, neil, my friend. i'm charles payne. this is "making money." breaking now the s&p 500 back at a record high despite the biggest scrum in inflation in nine years. the question, is this temporary or not. we're less than 24 hours for the most exciting ipo in years. coinbase how much will investors chase the stock. we'll discuss. our market

jonathan seri with the latest from atlanta. reporter: hi there, neil. well the cdc is convening its expert panel of vaccine experts. this is an independent panel that gives the cdc, fda and other regulators advice in this case on how to proceed with the johnson & johnson vaccine. u.s. health officials recommended a temporary pause as they investigate a possible link between j & j's vaccine and a small number of women who developed a rare form of blood clot 6-13 days after receiving the shot. with only six cases reported out of the 6.8 million vaccinations now more than 7 million critics say the feds are being overly cautious and may unncesssarily frighten people away from potentially life saving vaccines but federal health officials say it's the safety culture that should reassure americans. >> jointly, cdc and fda were able to identify these rare events, and act quickly to alert healthcare providers and the public. this demonstrates that the safety systems we have in place are working. >> it should reinforce, in those individuals, how we take safety so

i think they came out against the mlb having its all-star game in atlanta. i have to check that. but they caught a lot of flak from their customers, so now what they're seeing, despite the wokeness of corporate america, customers are fighting back and also republican elected officials. this wokism is not that great for business. neil, back to you. neil: still as curious, i always look at jamie dimon as a pretty savvy political player as well. while this was going on his not signing on to this particular measure he did announce that jpmorgan chase is allocating about 2 1/2 trillion over the next ten years for climate change solutions, that sort of thing. it is as if he was trying to signal to the left you know, this is a cause near and dear to me and you, on this we can agree. what did you make of the timing of all of that? >> listen, everybody, listen, all the ceo's kiss up to the wokeness to a certain degree. it is not beyond jamie dimon for being a little woke. i will say this though, attacking voter laws extremely popular in red states what it really comes down to, i don't thi

steve harrigan in atlanta on all of that. want to go to dr. tom price, former health and human services secretary, congressman and doctor by training. he's the whole package, and he speaks his own mind. he doesn't play politics. i always admire that. doctor, good to have you the -- >> thanks, neil. good to be with you. neil: your take on this latest data and the comments from the cdc director saying those vaccinated can feel safe to travel, others just use some caution, but certainly more promising than her doomful comments a week ago. what do you think? >> no, you're absolutely right. and i think there's wonderful news that's coming from the vaccine side. remember, this is a new disease. it's only been with us for a little over a year, and to consequently the vaccines didn't have the timeline in their trials to be able to determine how long the vaccines would be effective. and it appears they continue to be effective at least six months after their administration which is great news for folks as we move into the summer months. also as your re

really, throw everything what is going on, atlanta, cdc, covering rocket launches. scrupulous about it all. dan geltrude back with us. shana sissel is back with us. dan, we talk a little bit about the out of this world stuff, but i'm looking at the price tag on some of this spending, infrastructure, 2 1/2 trillion on the jobs act and all, how will we pay for all of this? >> what they're telling everyone is that we're going to have corporations pay for this. we're going to have cavuto and all his rich friends pay for this but the point is, neil, eventually you run out of that money and to me it is all about propaganda. let's look at the names they're calling this. the americans job plan. the american families plan. those things sound nice and they're popular. joe biden says these spending programs are very popular. start telling people the truth. this is spend us into bankruptcy plan. that can't continue forever and the reason it is happened to this point, neil, there has never been any consequences to our wild spending. sooner or later the bill will come due. at tha

will visit jimmy carter, rose lynn carter in atlanta. jonathan serrie in duluth georgia with all of this? reporter: neil, president biden is celebrating the first 100 days in office here in georgia. not only did the peach state help him get into the white house, but georgia gave the president's party a slim majority in the senate with the elections of democrats rafael warnock and john ossoff and that as allowed president biden to pursue a more ambitious agenda especially when it comes to government spending. that includes the american families plan, american jobs plan, american rescue plan, adding up to nearly $6 trillion in government spending. the president planned to celebrate passage of covid relief during the first visit to georgia back in march. neil: all right. we just lost jonathan scary. i apologize for that. you don't really want to know the technical issues we've been having. they're figuring it out. meantime i do want to go to tom bevin, "real clear politics," cofounder there. tom, the president obviously is taking this trip

dell computers in texas, and american airlines, and in atlanta, delta and coca-cola. sports business is trillion dollar global scale, trillion dollar domestically ecosystem. they depend on each other, media, corporate sponsors, fans, right now to your point, neil, it is fans that are losing in this ecosystem of imbalance. neil: i'm just wondering whether the fans protest by either not watching on tv or not going to the games, even where there are, you know, limited if any restrictions on crowd capacity such as arlington, texas, where you can fill it to the max and not have any issues? i'm discuss wondering whether it might show up that way? people drop out on the attendance when baseball desperately needs them? >> baseball is absolutely fan attendance driven sport unlike others the does. they don't have the television deals and merchandise, which led to 70% drop in the covid year. baseball is looking at this presumably from a balance sheet standpoint first. within that what are key drivers and indicators, kpis, give u.s. the red flags or green flags in the proverbial

over half of the population in atlanta is black. the revenue loss from the all-star game going away could total more than $100 million in lost tourism revenue to the area according to one official. but when you're looking at the voting laws, the reason why mlb moved the game out of georgia to colorado, when you compare the two states, colorado has fewer days of early voting than georgia. 15 days to georgia's 17. both states require a valid i.d. to vote by mail and in person. they also both allow no excuse vote by mail. but politicians on the local level in georgia could be having the biggest impact on businesses that are choosing to take a political position on this. georgia house voted to strip delta, one of the outspoken corporations of millions of dollars in tax breaks. the georgia senate still has to weigh in on this before the bill potentially could land on the governor's desk for him to sign offer on. but the bottom line is, there can be consequences on the local level for these corporations. we also, david, did reach out to m

♪ david: a live look at truist park in atlanta. this, of course, is where the atlanta braves play. business around the park were hoping to cash in from this year's all-star game, now they're grappling with huge losses. edward lawrence, how much money are businesses going to lose from this? >> reporter: it's not just the direct impact, it's that money that comes from people coming in and spending here. you know, it's a gut punch, disappointing. those are the terms i've heard from business owners about moving the game over to colorado. this is manuel's tavern, lunchtime here. the owner had planned a bun bunch of activities leading up to this game, but it's not just restaurants. i talked with the owner of atlanta rx, it's a cbd shop, and he says that he's looking at an economic impact. listen. >> according to our analytics, about 10% of our business is from out of town. very touristy area, and we definitely will be affected by the all-star game moving to colorado. >> reporter: are you disappointed? >> yeah, very disappointed. >> reporter: and the cobb county travel ask tourism board s

i'm edward lawrence talking in atlanta talking about georgia law. they want law i makers to listen to one other. some like the law. some doesn't leak the waa. they should allow people all the way up to the polling site door, not 150 feet away. they hope the national attention will push people to change the law. >> people listen to respond, not listen to actually understand. i'm not saying that one side or the other is going to be completely happy with everything that is done but a think a lot more listening can be done. reporter: others agree with the law it actually expands voting by adding 17 days of early voting, including both weekend days. yesterday we were at manuel's tavern that almost went under after 65 years of business during the pandemic. the community rallied to save the tavern. overall the law is not bad but reaction to the law has been disappointing. >> we're manuel's tavern. so much happened in that little tavern between all the different groups that wanted to get stuff done. they all got together, over a beer, made it happen. we're

bob mansfield worried about player boycotts if he didn't change venues out of atlanta because of the georgia voting law and charges by some activists including the president who called it racist, jim crow on steroids, he worried about some player boycotts if he moved it out. now that he is moving out, it appears -- getting this from major-league sources, the team in the league is inundated with complaints over the decision to move out of georgia. for subscriptions, to have baseball on their cable packages. bob mansfield's political move to endorse critics of the voting rights law. it is unclear how big this will do, i guess there is a lesson for woke ceos. if you go that route you stand a good chance of annoying, having the public not buy your products. we should point out that 71 million people voted for donald trump, almost half the country. that is a lot of people to boycott major league baseball and we should point out baseball fans generally trended republican and conservative. bob manfred has a problem on his hands. neil: kim blackwell is with us, former secretary of state of o

vaughn, allison is in atlanta. vaughn, we will start with you, d.c.'s mayor mariel bowser created black lives matter movement. >> in the ten months since the murder of george floyd, these streets spoke for george floyd in this black lives matter movement. it was these streets that became black lives matter plaza officially here in washington, d.c. john lewis, kamala harris, mitt romney, they all came here. last night i met a grandmother of seven. she was making her way on the city bus just down the road when she heard the verdict was pending. she got off the bus and came back here. meet lisa robinson. >> justice is finally served. black lives matter. we need to be treated as people. >> reporter: it was these streets ten months ago where president trump cleared out people for a photo-op. ten months later just a few dozen folks, peaceful, quiet. and as you heard from lisa robinson, relief. and now a sign, walk humbly with your god. now down to atlanta. >> reporter: we met a man who served in the vietnam war. he said after the '60s, after the war he thoug

>> reporter: the atlanta community food bank has enough food to feed 2,000 households. they are moving cars through as quickly as they can and filling the back of the trucks, whatever it may be, with different food items. they have been doing this for a good hour and a half now. the lines are starting to let up a little bit. people lined up a good two hours or so before this even opened to get food. one of the first questions i asked one of the organizers of this food drive, have you seen the numbers drop in months? it feels like things are starting to get a little more hopeful in the pandemic. she says, no, their numbers have stayed the same consistent throughout the pandemic. they are still seeing high numbers of families needing to come and get food. we spoke to one woman who was waiting in line this morning. things have been so hard and without a food drive like this, her family might not be able to eat. listen here. is this something you thought that you would need to do, be in a food line? >> no. not at all. >> reporter: how hard is it to say, yeah, i need a littl

you think about the young man who went and shot up the people in the asian spa in atlanta. they took him alive, arthur, and then my lord, not too far from here in bakari's home state this young white boy named dylann roof went and shot up the whole church and literally, they chased him across state lines into north carolina and they not only took him alive, but they took him to burger king to get a burger and a fry, but andrew brown, they shoot him in the back and we're going to see the video to see what they're trying to hide from all of you all because the truth can't hide forever and a lie cannot live forever. >> i gave you all an assignment and i need you to follow through. i know you're filming, but take it out. i have joe manchin's number right here. it's 202-224-3954. >> 202-224-3954. call his office and tell them we're tired of black folks dying and kyrsten sinema's on. >> say the number once for for joe manchin. 202-224-3954 and kyrsten sinema is 202-224-4521. and just call the office and tell them how you feel. let me turn it over to harry. harry has an update for

the >> arrest was big news in atlanta. two sweet little girls charged with the murder of their mother. who would have thought? >> i mean, people were riveted by this story. >> oh yes they were. and when the twins finally told their version of events that unfolded on january, the city was riveted all over again. >> coming up. the fatal struggle. did their mom started all? >> i kept telling her to stop. just stop. >> when dateline continues. feel the clarity, and live claritin clear. these are real people, not actors, who've got their eczema under control. with less eczema, you can show more skin. so roll up those sleeves. and help heal your skin from within with dupixent. dupixent is the first treatment of its kind that continuously treats moderate-to-severe eczema, or atopic dermatitis, even between flare ups. dupixent is a biologic, and not a cream or steroid. many people taking dupixent saw clear or almost clear skin, and, had significantly less itch. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions c

he'd been in atlanta at the time of the murders. >> did you go a lot of places? together >> next on detectives list was karen's former boyfriend, michael lacey. he refused to take a lighted tech to test so police interviewed him three separate times. >> did you all have keys to each other's? house >> definitely. not >> you could just walk over and walk in? >> we would. call >> he is someone that we had to rule out completely and we did. that >> so if you're thinking in your line of work, the usual suspects, the usual suspects were not going to figure in this one. >> not the media. family >> defective is nelson ensured or realize they had on their hands, while homicide cops, he obtrusively. the first 48 hours of a case, usually you get a break. and there's something that says chase this, right? >> yes. normally you would get something within the first 48. hours >> so this is as baffling as it was. cruel >> exactly. it did make any sense. >> then came march 16th, 2009. six weeks after the lofted killings went to unsolved murders became four. >> and begin with a rep

she interned at his law firm in atlanta, he was 20 years older, but their relationship seemed pretty serious. until apparently, it wasn't. >> being in school was hard. they were not living in the same city or anything. >> besides -- >> lorraine was a flirt. i mean, she liked attention. >> and she got it, from a classmate named joe. >> he was more on the goofy or side, and also her age. >> so they became an item. but, there was something about david, some chemistry that drew her back. and she gave joe the bad news. >> lauren was up front, told joe, and that was that. >> a bit broken hearted, on joe is part? >> i think so, he really liked or. who wouldn't? >> anyway, at graduation time, may, 2011, david was there to cheer her on. it was a big event for the whole family. >> we went out after her graduation with her family, got to know everybody. >> just a month later, another celebration, up north. her sister's wedding. >> i did want to say how special this wedding is, obviously not -- >> lauren was made of honor. and then, back to macon for the final hurdle. the bar exam. a busy, scary

and in the wake of the georgia's restrictive voting law, the mlb pulled the all-star game from atlanta. it came from pressure from civil rights groups and the players association. they are finalizing a new host city. now back to "dateline." >> reporter: on the main street of tiny agency, iowa, bad news traveled fast. a pregnant woman was dead and a gunman was on the loose. just as quickly, fear took to roost. >> the 23-year-old reserve sheriff's deputy was shot and killed at her home in the town of agency. she was five months pregnant. >> reporter: lisa's murder was the first in the farmtown in 15 years. deputy don phillips, seen here unspooling crime scene tape, had a personal stake in cracking the case. lisa's dad is one of his best friends. >> todd and i began the same year at the sheriff's office together. i watched lisa grow up. i just reassured him that we'll figure this out. we'll find out who did this. >> so whatever's happened here is really within your family, the law enforcement family, the county? >> correct. we're a small sheriff's office. we know everybody. we know each o

one, this is not a new dynamic in atlanta. atlanta is the home of the late hank aaron who we lost in january who if this track record is any indication would have had something to say about this voting law and it's not only the process it went through in the legislature but also the passage. he would have spoken out against that. so baseball is the sport where jackie robinson broke the color barrier. baseball is proud of that. atlanta is proud of being the city too busy to hate and there is a real question here as to whether or not the city is going to live up to that moniker now. companies like delta and coca-cola have long been part of what has made -- given atlanta that reputation, that made atlanta and georgia a place that's been able to point to southern neighbors and say we are not south carolina, we are not alabama. we are not mississippi. and now i think the confluence of atlanta and baseball given their kind of -- what they hold -- both of them holding themselves out to be markers of racial progress that confluence ha

legislative process and georgia earlier this year thinking that they could kind of deal with this in the atlanta way of business to kind of working with republicans under the gold dome. that didn't work. so now, you've got, and this is moving into other states. you're already seeing in texas, corporations that are being kind of more publicly proactive in condemning these kinds of laws and really just kind of rallying around the idea that if america is a democracy, this country was built on a democracy, why should the idea of voting and voting rights be partisan? if corporations of people that those people should seek out in favor of voting rights. and so i think the, it was a failed strategy to kind of get this resolved behind closed doors and so now, advocates are putting the pressure on these companies to really take up an old fight in a new day by pressuring these people before these lawmakers had a chance to pass these laws to try to really shame them into doing what can be the right thing economically, if not morally. >> errin hains, you sound like a poet, doing the wrong thing in a new way
