caller: i am in atlanta. on the voter id issue, i have a problem with the voter id, but in a lot of ruble areas, there are older people. you cannot get id without a birth certificate, you cannot get a birth certificate without a social security card. also, they would have to try to make a copy. how can they make a copy? it cost them to go somewhere, they don't have the technology. that is one of the issues there. another thing that needs to be addressed, why are they addressing the long lines in the heavily democratic areas? if you have to stand in line 8, 10 hours, but only 30 minutes in other areas, that is an issue. i have one question, with the change of secretary of state to the border of the legislator, does that mean they can now overturn the election? host: to that point, greg bluestein? guest: let me answer the third one first, overturning the election. it doesn't mean overturning the election. republicans already have control of the state elections board. this would just give the republican legislat

atlanta is nicknamed the city that is easy to hate. there was a white business community and the jim crow era that decided that atlanta was going to go a certain direction. racial harmony and equity was going to be the thing that they prioritized at that time. you have a long tradition and legacy of the business community, the white business community, really saying that this is not who we are. companies like delta and coca-cola have diverse workforces. delta is 46% people of color. to your point earlier about pressure coming internally from some of these businesses, especially when you think about their employees of color who are asking, what's my workplace standing for? what is it about? would they want to not say something about loss that could potentially be harmful to employees? i think that's a very powerful message. very powerful pressure. amy: 30 seconds or so left. we've heard some of the state legislatures threaten to retaliate against some companies, saying they will get rid of tax breaks. one leader said, don't bite the han

it's atlanta as a whole. you can't take these extreme actions that limb the right to the access to vote when we have talked about expanding access with our democracy and not expect people like major league baseball will not take action in return. it's not too late for the legislature to go back and reconsider this. they are out of session. but the governor certainly can call a special session, have them reconsider this. make tweaks to it so it is truly a bill that expands access to the right to vote. but instead what i'm seeing on our local news is that the governor is doubling down, state leaders are doubling down. i think this is just the first of many dominos that will fall in this state. we're all going to suffer because of it. >> to be clear, you did tweet that you don't know the businesses and corporations and everybody that will suffer and it's not too late to right this sinking ship. and you got your vaccine. >> i did get my vaccine. it didn't hurt at all. i woke up the next morning without a sore arm

the leftist celebrating mlb's decision to move the all-star game from atlanta to denver, colorado. should they be? i >> the left is celebrity the will be decision to move the all-star game from atlanta to denver, colorado. should they be? we have a new poll out showing more americans support voter integrity law than oppose it but that doesn't many to many in the democratic party or major league baseball family either. if they had bothered to read the new georgia law it allows more days for early voting than colorado and the kicker, georgia and colorado require ids to vote in person. joining us is senator tom cotten. it goes back to the president, the president's rhetoric, offering this idea to major league baseball they took him up on it. >> good to see you at night for once. this goes back to joe biden's press conference last week as he used inflammatory, incendiary and outright wrong language of the georgia bill calling it jim crow 2.oh. he forgot to check the laws in his own state which has no early voting, fewer drop boxes than does delaware, many said they pulled their all-sta

so had fully on the program major league baseball gets political stripping atlanta of its style game over a new voting law in the state of georgia and the family is going for the victims of friday's trying to crash in taiwan is prosecutors seek an arrest warrant for the owner of the truck rolled onto the tracks. but. we've got spring start with a forecast across many parts of europe over the next couple of days we've got a cooler wind coming into central and even down towards southeastern parts that will be some snow rolling in across the balkans some west of weather little further north was but fun and trying to central and western parts at the moment some as in the sunshine if a little of the cool side but the really cool weather that's further north you go this arctic blast developing that role when driving rice across the precious scholls through a good part of scandinavia down through the low countries that way some wintry weather coming in here talking in in across the good parts of germany and down to the outs because the some snow too into parts of the british isles where so

the lawmaker behind the new executive order mayor of atlanta, keisha lance bottoms. mayor, thank you for being here. what exactly do you want to accomplish with this executive order? the law has already passed. >> well, thank you for having me. and what we want to accomplish is the 1.2 million customers in the metro atlanta area, what this new law means. how they can get the appropriate i.d., the new rules related to absentee ballots. we want our customers to be informed. so ambassador young tells a great story. one day of voting when he first ran for congress and 74% turnout in the african-american community. so even though there may be barriers, we can still overcome those barriers and we want to make sure our customers are informed so they need to know what to do to cast their ballot when the time comes. >> we have heard a lot about no food or water in line, but beyond those headlines what is the most dangerous part of this bill? >> the most dangerous part of this bill, in my opinion, is the dialing back or giving to the state legislature control over the election

>> bret: steve harrigan in atlanta. steve, thanks. let's talk about the biden spending plans, his immigration policy, other issues. former senior adviser to president trump steven miller joins us. good evening. >> good evening to you. thank you. >> bret: i wanted to ask you, start with the infrastructure plan, which we're calling spending plan because there is a lot more in there as we know, these plans are being laid out. but either on the infrastructure, as you are looking at, if they get passed, billions and billions of dollars going to states and cities for projects. there is another element to this that you dealt with in the processing of getting projects through. >> i would like to demystify this issue for the american people tonight if i could. one debate that's raging in washington right now which is why only a quarter the bill on infrastructure as we would conventionally define it and only 10% on roads and bridges? that's an important debate and it should be had. but, let's talk about the money that actually goes to infrastru

you can understand how the atlanta braves feel about it. and some of those people are relative liloer on the economic ladder. the larger point that's being made here as daniel dale pointed out about an hour ago with you, yeah, you can claim as governor kemp did but there are certain provisions within this bill that'll enhance access to voting. in the overall on balance it restricts voting and it is clear that it will most negatively impact people of color and people a t the lower end of the economic scale. this is also different when you talk about tb pga tour and the masters next week. the masters is only at one place at one time. baseball can move to some where else. so these players are going to play in the all-star game. >> it is interesting you brought up what daniel dale said. i have been reading a lot of what's happening with the voter law in georgia. the main thing people have to remember. there is a lot of misinformation going around and half truth and we know it happens. the emphasis was a lie of the election that it standrted. it

white house says president biden supports major league's decision to move its all star game out of atlanta after new voting restrictions. >> the president has made his view clear. he believes that he has major concerns about the bill passed in georgia, has consistently argued it should be easier and not harder to vote. >> reporter: the law shrinks window for sending in absentee ballots, limits drop boxes available, gives more control of local elections to state lawmakers, makes it a crime to give food or water to people waiting in line to vote. the georgia governor brian kemp says while there was no fraud in the last election the law is needed to keep future ones secure. >> they ignored facts of our new election integrity law and ignored the consequences of their decision on our local community. >> reporter: the atlanta mayor told cbs this morning she respects major league baseball's decision. >> i don't like the fact that we have been put in this position by our state legislature and our governor because the people of georgia will suffer. >> reporter: a number of companies including delta

everybody does business in atlanta. the mlb is doing a major piece of business in atlanta for july. they were going to have the all-star game. it was a celebration with fans returning to the stadium but the passing of the great african american ball player, probably the greatest, hank aaron that died this year. amid that, the controversy over the georgia voting law. you have people like president biden calling it a new jim crow. stacey abrams also a voting rights activist credited with turning the peach state blue the last election, coming out against this law. lebron james, the basketball star, also a voting rights activist against the law. put that together, the mlb commissioner manfred said that these activists would turn it into a circuit and political debate over this law, take away from what major league baseball is, a game of relief from all the pressures of day-to-day life. here's what we know. stacey abrams and lebron james. stacey abrams herself and lebron james did meet with senior mlb officials to advocate that the league denounced new voting laws and the commissioner be

you can understand how the atlanta braves feel about it. there are people who feel this is taking some economic opportunity away from those who would benefit from having a big event like an all-star game and some of those people are relatively lower on the economic ladder, so i understand those objections, but the larger point that is being made here, yeah, you can claim, as governor kemp did, that there are certain provisions within this bill that will enhance access to voting. but in the overall on balance, it actually restricts voting and it's clear it will most negative impact people of color and at the lower income scale. this is what baseball decided to do. ps this is also different when you talk about the pga tour. the masters is only in one place at one time. baseball can move its all-star game and it will somewhere else. the players will still play in the all-star game. >>> update on the investigation of republican congressman matt gaetz. federal investigators are looking into his relationships with young women. the threads they ar
