donny, this all comes up around the all-star game moving out of atlanta. pressure puppet put on companies like delta and coca-cola. so what's your sense of where corporations are right now? did they get it right in the case of georgia and how active should they be in these political debates where mitch mcconnell has said they ought to stay out of them? >> corporations have no choice at this rate. frankly, if they had their way, they would be agnostic. they have one god that they answer to at the end of the day, and that's the shareholders and that's the profit. i don't mean to sound cold and callus, but that's what they are. having said that, the right business for them now is to be on the right side of these arguments. they can no longer stay on the sidelines, particularly young consumers demand that of companies now. in all research, you see to talk about corporate conscience. now, when you think about that, most companies, if you look at their marketing plans, the audience they're going after, they're not going after old geezers like me. marketing plans

reasons why arizona has swung so far of left and why georgia has become so purple is because phoenix and atlanta make up a majority of the voting population of those states. whereas you consider, why is still quite rural. one of the reasons why north carolina hasn't quite gotten there for democrats is that charlotte and the research triangle combined only make up about 41% of north carolina's vote. it's still actually a pretty rural state, so this urban/rural divide really rules. >> dave wasserman and jim messina, thank you both very much for being on this morning. >>> still ahead on "morning joe," did jo biden's first 100 days usher in a new era or a stalled revolution. we'll bring in the authors of these polar opposite pieces for that discussion. we'll be right back. pieces for that discussion. we'll be right back. it's my 5:52 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere migraine strikes, without worrying if it's too late, or where i am. one dose can quickly stop my migraine in its tracks within two hours. unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill that directly blo

mayor bottom says her directive which aims to help atlanta residents navigate new gop deciding voting rules and registration deadlines is, quote, designed to do what those in the majority of the state legislature did not. expand access to our right to vote. joining our conversation, msnbc contributor and "washington post" contributing columnist, former congresswoman. charlie sykes back with us as well with claire mccaskill. donna, is this where we are? frankly, turnout was incredible in the 2020 election to kind of try to help people navigate calling on her chief equity officer, to help people navigate how they can do what they've already done which is vote and not have trouble doing it? >> well, sadly, this is called using every tool that you have in the tool box and i think that mayor lance bottoms is doing that for the citizens of atlanta and unfortunately, there are dozens of these, i think over 360 of these type bills that are moving forward at various stages all across the country. in a couple of dozen legislatures, they've actually moved through either the house or the senate a

blaine, what's the word in atlanta? >> they are taking the all-star game from atlanta, and the lead commissioner kind of said it was a herculean effort to move something like this, but they're doing it, anyway, to demonstrate their values as a league and a sport. here in georgia, there is one thing republicans and democrats can agree on, that they're not happy it's moving out of the state. yes, at the end of the day, it's going to be georgia businesses, georgia workers, the number of businesses and hotels near the park that will actually be suffering and feel the impact of this. but we're also seeing a very big case of finger pointing. democrats, of course, pointing at republicans saying it's the republican-led state legislature that put the state in this position, but as you just heard from georgia governor brian kemp, of course he is a staunch defender -- >> i'm sorry to interrupt. the trial has resumed and this is the questioning of the chief of police of the minneapolis police department. let's go back in. >> again,

the decision to hold the rally in atlanta sparking criticism. the president himself has been a vocal critic of georgia's new voting laws and supported efforts to boycott business in the state. georgia proved to be a he key state for biden in the 2020 election. futures are pointing to gains to start trading this day, big gains if you look at the nasdaq 100 futures, up almost 1%. this after president biden unveiled his american families plan in his first address to congress and the proposal calling for tax hikes. >> i will not impose any tax increase on people making less than $400,000. but it's time for corporate america and the wealthiest 1% of americans to begin to pay their fair share. just their fair share. i'm not looking to punish anybody. but i will not add an additional tax burden to the middle class in this country. they're already paying enough. dagen: joining me now, federated hermes chief investment officer, steven auph. also joining the conversation all morning long, steve forbes, who i know will have a lot to say about the speech la

daniels, white house reporter for politico and author politico play book and the political reporter for atlanta journal constitution. and the man who knows georgia best, eugene, there's no elected official in the state of america who clocks corporate dollars and tracks them than mitch mcconnell, cc united. what in the world is he talking about here? >> it's interesting to watch as republicans like mitch mcconnell are fighting with big business when they've been friends of big business for a long time, right? he gave this bill that corporations would invite serious consequences. but republicans don't have the same issue of republicans getting involved in politics when it comes to donations. that level of involvement in politics passes muster for republicans and always had. what we know is donation is always a way to show value, which is what the coca-cola, and mlb and all of these, delta, are saying. and the quote is had no issue in the past. as republicans have continued to try to fight mostly cancel culture wars, that is where they're going to find themselves. they're going to find themselves

from southern california all the way to atlanta, there's 4 million -- approximately 4 million is my understanding people who drink some form of recycled waste water. and i should be clear, it's not just toilet water, it's shower water like mayor garcetti said, stuff that goes down in your front yard through the sewage system. toilet is the most fun to talk about. but this would double that in the united states of america. it's hard to state how significant it is. also, you feel proud of it, what you flush becomes what everybody else drinks. >> i'm not sure that's the best sales pitch. it's not just toilet water, it's also your shower water! but good idea. see how it plays out there. great report, jacob. thank you very much. >> that's amazing. i think he should have drunk the whole glass. >> i bet he did. i bet he chugged. >> you've got to have a lot of water. >>> that does it for us this morning. stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage right now. >>> hi, there, i'm stephanie ruhle. it's thursday, april 22nd, and this morning the nation begins to move on from the george floyd verdict and focusing on

major league baseball announced friday that it will be pulling this year's all-star game from atlanta as a handful of companies weigh whether to take actions of their own. of course, gop lawmakers in the state are punishing those companies for exercising their freedom to value black and brown consumers. just a short time ago, georgia governor brian kemp said he will not bow to pressure from major league baseball or anyone else. but georgians of good faith of all races tried to purge trumpism from their midst. president biden is counting proposals to reclaim republican hearts and minds, unveiling his $2 trillion infrastructure package this week amid immediate pushback from republicans who take issue with these tax hikes on corporations to improve conditions for america's poor and working class. later in the show, i'll talk to the point person for the president's plan, newly appointed and confirmed housing and urban development secretary marcia fudge. but first, georgia is on the nation's mind. and joining me now is democratic georgia state representative park cannon, who was arrested f

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

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

, moving it to denver which i might note atlanta is 51% african-american denver is 9% african-american. so good job baseball you care about racial equality so much that you took 100 million dollars away from largely african-american small businesses, and atlanta and moved it to bunch of lily white businesses in denver. you've shown your virtue through and through. and i have to say my attitude i'm fed up with it. i'm sick of it. i think a lot of americans are sick of it. and so i announced this week as of this point going forward i will not accept any contributions from corporate packs not a penny in nine years corporate packs contradicted 2.6 million to my campaign and i've decided enough is enough. that if they're going behave as enemies of the american people, enemies of liberty if they're goapg going to engage in lice and willingly be weaponized as economic tools of punishment for the democratic party and the radicals, who are doing enormous damage to the country that -- that i want nothing to do with that endeavor. >> fair enough. senator cruz, you speak right to the issue, and we

some places like atlanta, new york, chicago, huge increases. and many of these jurisdictions, certainly new york and chicago, decided that police -- some police dollars were better spent elsewhere. in atlanta, you had protests and lack of support for policing, you had a lot of officers quit the force, choose to retire. they are now short-handed. that's one of the reasons they're having trouble dealing with this latest crime wave. cheryl: we've had congresswoman nicole malliotakis several times. she said those communities that are suffering with the lack of police are black and brown communities. it shows that the -- go ahead. steve: you took the words right out of my mouth. the victims of all of the mayhem and the looking in the cities have -- looting in the cities, have been the low income residents in these mostly minority communities. there was a recent analysis of what happened to the real estate values in these neighborhoods and most of these are immigrant and minority neighborhoods. they have fallen. in minneapolis, in los angeles, in new

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

the first time it was a virtual meeting with the prime minister of ireland when that happened in the atlanta area, steph. >> that speaks to where we are in this country. thank you so much. and thank you for watching. that wraps up a busy and heavy hour. i'm stephanie ruhle, hallie jackson picks up coverage, next. . with bounce pet hair & lint guard, your clothes can repel pet hair. one bounce mega sheet has 3x the hair fighting ingredients of the leading dryer sheet. simply toss into the dryer to bounce out hair & lint. look how the shirt on the left attracts pet hair like a magnet! pet hair is no match for bounce. it's available in fresh scent & unscented. with bounce, you can love your pets, and lint roll less. i'm jayson tatum. check out my subway sub with delicious turkey and crispy bacon. i'm draymond green. with my subway sub with tender steak and melty cheese. my sub will help you put points on the board, unlike some other subs. why would you say that, jayson? hey man, i'm just talkin' about subs here. oh c'mon. my sub is gonna throw down on your... my sub has more rings than your sub

mass shooting in a string of violence we have witnessed just in the last few weeks of this year from atlanta, georgia, to boulder, colorado, and now indianapolis. i want to go antonia hylton in indianapolis. we have with us frank fragluzi, a former special agent in charge of the fbi's cleveland field office. antonia, we will start with you. we heard it's early in the investigation, it's an active crime scene. they are working to identify the victims and to positively identify the shooter. bring us up to speed. what else did we learn from authorities last hour? >> reporter: what really strikes me coming out of the presser is not just how heartbreaking and chaotic the scene was last night but how chaotic the situation remains now. what we learned from officials, from the police, from the fbi, is we don't have a positive identification of the gunman. they are working on the identification of the victims. i'm getting resources and information to heartbroken families, which is a time consuming process, of course. after only about 12 hours of investigation time, we still don't have a full accounti

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-

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

that left in our people dead, at a grocery store in boulder, colorado and string of killing at spas in atlanta earlier this month. >> it's a national embarrassment. >> reporter: authorities in indianapolis are focused on brandon scott hole. police say the 19-year-old who used to work at the fedex warehouse and took his life during the attack used two assault rifles purchased legally last summer. months early police confiscated a shotgun from hole after his mother raised concerns about his mental state. indiana's red-flag law allows police reports to seize guns from people deemed a danger. but authorities say hole was not submitted to be flagged. the biden administration is urging states to adopt and reform those red flag laws. part of the number of measures biden introduced after the colorado shooting, but the actions were limited. democrats are pushing for more, including an adult weapons ban. but gun control is usually gridlocked in washington, with some republicans arguing second amendment rights need to be protected. >> every time there's a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater. >> rep

after the major league baseball pulled just this last week, their all-star game, from atlanta and moved it to colorado because of that georgia voting law that was passed here this last month, there are now five lawsuits pending against the state of georgia over its voter election law. but while that litigation is pending, there are other states here that continue this spring, to continue to work through their own legislatures to pass other types of measures. just go from east to west, from florida this week who is working on several different measures, including one in which the sponsor, the republican sponsor of the legislation said that it would -- this piece of legislation would bar individuals from trying to influence voters within 150 feet of the voting entrance. and that could include much like georgia, barring folks from delivering water or food. but then you also move to texas, just again this week, one of the committees in the statehouse passing house bill 6, which would bar local officials from sending out absentee ballot applications to residents. and then move over to arizon

and house bill 4 that's why a couple of hours from now several religious leaders here in the city of atlanta are going to be calling for a boycott against coca-cola, against delta and against a number of georgia-based companies saying that they need to do more than issue these paper statements the other thing we are seeing, steph, that's really interesting is that we are seeing black business executives come out and essentially say the same thing they're not advocating for boy cotts, i want to make that clear, but they are saying corporations have a responsibility to do more than put out statements that effort is led by ken shnut and ken frazier, former ceo of american express and current ceo of merck respectively. i spoke with both of them yesterday and they talked to me about the fact this is personal for them basically said in very strong words, companies need to directly and publicly oppose this legislation they need to bring their resources and capabilities to influence the elected officials and then added we cannot be silent, we have to speak out this really seems as though it's the ve

in fact, a day after the atlanta shootings he posted on facebook, we've all had bad days, but it never justifies hate crimes. and then we find out the day before he allegedly committed a hate crime against an asian-american woman in seattle. he was screaming vulgarities at her including asian b-word, punching his hands into his palms as if he was getting ready to assault her and her two kids. luckily, she was able to get away, but this was not the only instance that he's alleged to have committed something similar. another instance he allegedly cut off two asian women who were driving and a similar circumstance where he used vulgarity against them, citing their asian identity. throwing items at the car. they thought they were going to be assaulted and they, too, were able to speed away. so he has been charged with one count of a hate crime for the three instances. he just recently posted bail, and now he's out awaiting a trial. stuart: jason, this whole story story of hate directed at asians has been framed by many people in the media as white supremacy. i don't think the reporting is

it's clear punishment for baseball's decision to move the summer's all-star game out of atlanta. joining our conversation is marketing and branding expert donny deutsch. michael steele, still here. donny deutsch, you proved to be right. i was skeptical that the business community had sort of the steel in the spine for a fight with republicans, but it appears as of today that they do. >> hey, guys. great to see you, nicole. professor steele. always great to be here. if you're looking at a five-year business plan, here's what they're looking at in their businesses. they're looking by the year 2021, do i look foggy? something wrong or is it just my -- >> a little bit. do you want to wipe your -- you look a little foggy. give a little wipe. >> all right, just a little wipe here, okay? >> live tv in the time of zoom. >> okay, yeah. >> all right. >> you know, they're looking at five-year business plan. >> it's better. >> nicole, i'm sorry. you have such a great show and i always come on and it goes off the rails a little bit, you know? you got serious people like professor steele on, a

atlanta is majority african american and yet yet major league baseball decides to punish atlanta. it doesn't make sense. they are so inconsistent whatever they do. i agree with you, if you are going to do this, do it to every state, be fair to everybody but they don't want to go that route. this is a gift, political gift to the republican party in georgia. i think brian kemp has done a very good job. he has been very even-handed on this, as has the state legislature. this was not some bill dropped overnight. it was debated over the entire legislative session. they knew about it. everyone was invited to the table. elizabeth: got it. biden and democrats are accused of misleading, bullying and pulling down atlanta with a phony, with the boycott based on a phony racism charge. like the major league baseball and companies and democrats don't know what they're talking about. they didn't even read the georgia voting law. you got president obama calling for baseball and companies to boycott georgia. remember when obama sat next to raul castro in communist cuba to watch a baseball game in

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

the 100th day of his presidency on the road getting ready this hour to head to atlanta to pitch to the people the ambitious agenda he outlined in his first speech to a joint session of congress, calling on congress to pass $6 trillion in spending. plus action on immigration reform, police reform, voting rights, a $15 minimum wage. ahead, our nbc news team is here with new details from the white house on how the president plans to make that pitch. plus reaction from capitol hill and voters across the country. >>> we'll hear from two senators, one on each side of the aisle, a rare joint interview from senators kirsten gillibrand and joni ernst to talk about their support of a bill that would bring reform to the military and the way it deals with sexual assault allegations. >>> we're live with dr. murthy about the president's plea to get vaccinated and the potential ban on menthol cigarettes. >>> the 100th day of the biden administration, i'm hallie jackson in washington joined by monica alba, outside the white house, leigh ann caldwell is on capitol hill, priscilla thompson in atlanta wh

. >> major league baseball pulls the all star game out of atlanta. organizations condemning georgia's new voting restrictions. >> there is something that's more than money. this is about protecting the voices of our people. >> it means can sell culture and partisan activists are coming for fight over voter rights. joining me for analysis areia mitch yamich cindor. >> joining me from washington, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >> good sunday morning and happy easter and a happy passover. you know, the backdrop of the current political fights on covid, the economy, immigration and voting violates a -- voting rights. very the attack on capitol shook the slow return to normalcy. the cdc supports travel but cases are rising up in 31 states over the past two weeks. america's past-time, restricted georgia's law, announcing it was moving the all star draft out of atlanta and all week in minneapolis, the nation watched eyewitnesses forced to relive the violence over the final minutes of george floyd's life. it's perhaps because of this uncertain bac

in the next hour, president biden heads to suburban atlanta for a rally as the administration starts the job of trying to put their very ambitious words we heard last night into action. last night the president laid out a massive jobs and family plan that he says is aimed squarely at helping the american middle class. >> the american jobs plan is a blue collar blueprint to build america. that's what it is. and it recognizes something i've always said in this chamber and the other, good guys and women on wall street, but wall street didn't build this country. the middle class built the country. >> the big-ticket items include the largest jobs plan since world war ii, as well as plans to add two years of free preschool and two years of free community college. in all, get ready for this, his proposals amount to $6 trillion in new spending and he made absolutely no bones about the fact he wants to tax the rich to pay for it all. labor secretary marty walsh joins me later in the hour to talk about that very thing. the president also said he wants and needs republicans' help to get this st

or new york to atlanta. a trip in the united states, it would take about 20 hours by train. and where there is good, fast transportation and communication, there's commerce, and where there is commerce, there are jobs. at some point in the not so distant future, if america doesn't pick up on this, we're going to be left behind on the global stage, if we don't step up and invest. joining me now, nicholas kristoff, pulitzer winning columnist for "the new york times," joining us from his family farm in yam hill, oregon, which is poetic for this discussion, because yam hill oregon, is a place during the new deal, during franklin delano roosevelt was electrified and like a lot of rural america was and thankfully you can talk to us because of that. >> and if i freeze, that's because an owl jumped in front of the dish we have here and it will underscore the importance of improving broadband around the country. but that's right -- >> and broadband, your point is broadband is in fact the new electricity. that's one of the things we got to be thinking about. >> exactly. exactly. and y
