we talk about march 16, 8 people were killed in and around atlanta in six of them women of asian descent. on monday a 65 -year-old latina was brutally attacked in new york and was told she did not belong here by her attacker, nonsense. the men who witnessed the attack stood by and did not intervene or do anything. this is all makes your blood boil and makes your mouth file when you see this and it's infuriating and disgusting and totally unacceptable. unfortunately, it is nothing new. such acts against asian americans and pacific islanders have been increasing and becoming all too common in our country today. one way we can stamp that out is to speak up. on tuesday president biden announced additional actions to respond to anti- asian violence. he is a leader in this area the we are all grateful for and may he respond swiftly and strongly. there is no place in our country for hatred or racism of any kind and it betrays the idea of the foundation of our very country and we, as mayors, have to condemn and must condemn and we will continue to condemn any type of hatred or racist violence in

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

major league baseball has moved its all-star game from atlanta to colorado. to the critics point to hypocrisy saying colorado has an even more restrictive voting law

you need to decide whether atlanta needs the coca-cola company. there were no cries of cancel culture or left wing ideology. they saw the city on the wrong side of history and acted. two hours after that meeting, every ticket to the dinner was told and nearly 1600 people attended. today the corporate world is taking action. they are condemning restriction voter laws. on friday maine baseball announced they will move the game out of atlanta because of the new voter restrictions. the republican governor was outraged by this the decision blaming liberal cancel culture. but it is not cancel culture to respond to democracy weakening legislation. stopping people from voting, well, that is actually cancel culture. and once again, coca-cola along with other major corporations based in georgia have been called on to do the right thing. and in a historic open letter, 72 black executives called on all corporations, no matter their locations to oppose the voting restrictions. let's make clear why all of this is happening. this is happening because of activist

when the asian-american community in atlanta asked me, what are you going to do about it? the next time i go back to atlanta, i want to tell them, we did everything we could at this moment to fight for justice and equality, and allow youth to feel safe here in your own country. that is what this is about. if we deliver anything less than that, we will have failed this moment in time. i ask everyone to think about it, whatever disagreements you have or mms you want to make, make them, but let us not fail to deliver something here that can move our country forward. with that i am grateful for the opportunity to speak along such distinguished colleagues. thank you, everyone. sen. schumer: the speaker and i will have to leave soon because of the memorial service. we will take questions on this subject first. reporter: can you give us the timeline for how you plan to do this? sen. schumer: yes, the bill is on the floor now. we will move a motion to proceed. we are waiting for our republican colleagues to tell us what their plans are. they are having their lunch today, and we ho

christina: major league baseball pulled all-star game out of atlanta over georgia's new election rules. this is the best way to, quote, demonstrate values as a sport. but just the week the deal signed a deal with tencent, communist-backed company, one of china's largest tech firms and dropped nba games in 2019 after the former houston rockets general manager showed support for democratic activist protesting against beijing backed crack-down in hong kong. >> major league baseball, they don't want to go in georgia which has a pretty expansive early voting rules, now mandatory weakens thanks to this law but happy to do business in china which regularly persecutes people. christina: mlb is headquartered in new york, a state that has fewer early voting days than allowed in georgia. new laws expanding early voting and shortens time for runoff elections and has new guidelines for mail-in voting. critics call the new rules voter suppression. major businesses like coke and delta condemning them meantime supporters of gop-backed legislation say laws are fair and will help improve voter confidenc

she did things like all of the organized garden clubs in atlanta. she was responsible for having trees put up and down peachtree. it was a little building at one point. very active in the church. i was a brownie and a girl scout, in charge of the scouting in atlanta. i was a bellringer at the church. a piano player, took piano lessons forever. the thing that has always been the strongest suit was that i was always a dancer, i dance for them was 30 years of my life. i was a member of the troop, my life circled around that. upon graduation, i went to school in new orleans. and i got my degree in french language and literature. i went abroad for two years and studied in france. and spoke french, fruit leap -- fluently. came back, graduated from tulane. that puts me where i am now except to give a forward thought, the idea of having been in cotillion's and debutantes, doing all of that, all of my friends in atlanta were privileged. when you live abroad for two years, you come back to this country and you begin to see things a little differently. i think

of our classmates was gay and he had had the suppress that his whole time at harvard and he was from atlanta and he tells in the book you'll see he tells some sort of harrowing stories about being in the closet at that time at harvard and how it how do we wanted to sort of keep that away from us that sort of thing and the third the fourth i guess surprise which is not in the book. but is that one of our classmates was while we were there worked for the cia and his job was to you know, keep an eye on us and we valve we vowed not to it's not in the book and we vowed not to tell his name. so those were some of the surprises. of course along the way there are discoveries being an academic myself. i couldn't wait to get to the harvard archives. and so we started looking for everything we could find in the archives to the point of we paged through the harvard crimson for every day, and it was a daily newspaper for the year before they arrived right through when the last guy graduated. but also i found in the archives to student papers that had been done about the 18 so i know that the guys at the

we were on this show last week about atlanta. no evidence of hate crime. national democratic playbook. white supremacy, white hatred, this suspect is black. the guy -- >> i said you don't belong here to the woman. he said. >> i'm trying to make a point. outcry last week by democrats related to the suspect being white. white supremacy. this case involves a black suspect. why aren't you focusing on the suspect and where is the democratic outcry? please answer that, please. it's hypocrisy. please. >> number one, i'm not -- >> bill: leo, hang on. >> i'm not a democrat point one. point two, i say with great specificity i identify the perpetrator in all of these crimes. that was a black man. i tell you something else. a good friend of mine known to bill, a woman in television lives a block away from this incident happens to be korean, asian american, wonderful, high functioning beautiful woman, a television star has to walk around with sunglasses because she is afraid somebody will see she is asian and attack her. >> bill: the point is we're talking about none o

by the way, outside of the atlanta braves, i didn't hear anyone push back on this. which teams is stacey talking about it? who's players? i want to see receipts. i'm exactly like you, lawrence, i want to see the receipts on this conversation. >> emily: now to another story gaining attention today, a move in new york state to pay billions of taxpayer dollars to undocumented immigrants. progression lawmakers securing a provision in the state's budget that sets up a $2.1 billion "excluded workers" fund and offers up to $1600 one-time payments to undocumented immigrants who lost their jobs . what are your thoughts on this? >> dagen: i would say it's a head-scratcher but it's not because of this is the liberal-controlled new york government. $2.1 billion for undocumented workers -- there is a billion dollars for small businesses. an estimated one-third of small businesses will be gone forever. that is just in new york city. what message does this send? more than $15,000. even if you can't prove you were working, you can still get money. it's the equivalent of $300 a week

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

and obviously the murders in atlanta. so what we are saying over the past year in terms of where we are is organizations that are wanting to stop the hate in america and investing justice who are about more than 4500 reports. voluntary reports of anti- asian attacks of this past year. since february of 2020. to be clear, of the 4500, about 90 percent about was not really filed as a hate crime, might involve bullying, involving spinning and source and things of that nature. so one thing that i would ask all of you to remember is that there's potentially a law enforcement element to it but a lot of winter communities looking at, is necessarily missouri law enforcement response but how do we protect her company make sure that our communities feel safer during this time. in terms of how we got here, i thought we started outlining how we got here. in a moment, it. covid-19. economic fears and people are more fearful, the will fought hard. when the fish respect with the prior president in certain policymakers people with media

atlanta is 51% black. denver is 9.2% black. the mlb is moving the all-star game out of atlanta, which has more day-of-voting rights than colorado. the wokes are at it again, folks. keep in mind, he is the only african-american republican senator from the great state of south carolina. this is just an impulse reaction. these are all these companies that are patting themselves on the back saying good for us. we did the right thing. we moved out. although it is built on a lie. it is not correct information. colorado is stricter than georgia is. and guess who is hurt? guess who doesn't make the money the people who would have worked those games. own the hotels the businesses and restaurant. just crushing to all those individuals. steve: we heard from the governor of georgia yesterday regarding those people and the people of atlanta where that stadium is located, the governor said it is 51% african-american. and they are moving the all-star game to denver, colorado, where they're 10% african-american. ainsley: not even that, 9.2. st

[chanting] will: well that kind of example might be extreme. it reflects an attitude of culture that has been encouraged in places like new york city, fostered

, working in hotels in atlanta. they're the victims of this major league baseball boycott, no one else. >> bill: there were 500,000 people who showed up to vote in georgia who had already requested an absentee ballot. i don't know if you knew that number or not. the secretary of state wrote a piece this week. maligned by republicans and president trump at the time supported by democrats at the time. if you under the old law in georgia were to show up after requesting an absentee ballot you would have to do a signature match which is subjective. does this signature match what's here? the reason why they changed the law and got rid of signature match. they wanted to go to voter i.d. or driver's license to determine what's the number that corresponds to your name so we can nail this down. when you have half a million people showing up to vote who have already requested an absentee ballot in a state that was decided by 11,000 votes, you have to find a way to figure it out. >> logically when that happens there is a risk

. >> natasha chen is in atlanta for us. how do other officials and georgia voters feel about this move? >> reporter: pamela, let's start with the people standing with governor kemp today at that press conference. he was flanked by both state and federal lawmakers applauding him for not wavering on this voting law, applauding him for denouncing what he calls this ka cancel culture that mlb intent to the left and pro-athletes and others congratulating mlb to relocate the all-star game. talking to people just walking past the park we heard from a neighbors who said he fully agrees with governor kemp and said it is unfortunate that the local businesses lose out on the revenue from this game. that particular issue of local businesses hurt shared by everyone but these couple of young voters told me they understand where mlb is coming from here. >> i think they made the right decision for them. just like i said it is disappointing that it affects local businesses, fans, people that would have come into the city and provided the ci

cobb county just outside atlanta says it stands to louis $100 million in tourism. >> it means cancel culture and partisan activists are coming for your business. they're coming for your game or event in your hometown. >> reporter: georgia governor brian kemp said saturday m.l.b. and other companies caved to what we called liberal pressure. >> they ignored the facts of our new election integrity law and they ignored the consequences of their decision on our local community. >> reporter: over the weekend, former president obama praised the companies for taking action, while former president trump encouraged a boycott. late today the white house tells cbs news president biden supports moving the all-star game out of atlanta. he is away celebrating easter with family at camp david this weekend. >> christina ruffini at the white house, thank you. >> duncan: week two of derek chauvin's murder trial begins tomorrow in minneapolis. the former police officer is accused in the death of george floyd, witnesses expected to include the city's police chief who condemned chauvin's actions in the pa

it's going to still be held in atlanta this week. and pga of america said they are not going to move it because of their financial commitment to charity and the local community there. but they also say it shouldn't be construed as indifference, here. but what's behind the decision for pga not to move the masters? and how is it being received? >> you know, the masters is different. we are talking short notice, the masters is. this bill was passed a week ago. and here we are, sitting a week before it happens. >> it was passed a week ago but it had been discussed, before. a lot of people saying, too little, too late for these people. >> they waited too long. and i guess, pga, from what i am hearing there, it was too difficult to do. they have a commitment. and pga is different. i mean, we haven't seen the pga stand up for very much, when it comes to social justice. we haven't seen the major league baseball do this, until just now. this is a first for them. they have been embedded in their own scandals with cheating and performance-enhan

and i've been back for about 6 years now so i but didn't national have to come siege rate here in atlanta when i 1st started i don't think i just knew i wouldn't know it you know you were looking at things of internet is easily. the end and. but now in the past 10 years ago land in just really blew up is this just super hip scene lot of people moving there for comedy and there's a lot of different places to get habits and so a gauge of how much can you get it when you ask some 100 from a town you like how much you're going on stage here he had a year and since last town they're like once a week and then you go to new york you do and i times a night you know so this is the new york you can get very tight very quickly i think david brenner once did our david brenner world tour in new york one night where work 7 clubs i don't know if you start low and go high i guess where the but which is to go strip crust across to catch the 41st of the him for. the cellar wasn't as big that but the cellar became the hub right for a while there. yes so that when i was there it was it does where you're supp

i also wanted to play some sound from a restaurant owner in atlanta. you can imagine how disappointed they are to not have this business come in. >> it's devastating. it's devastating to the city. it's devastating to many businesses, mine included. it seems very unnecessary, very punitive. and counter intuitive to what we are trying to do by reopening. >> dana: lawrence, last week you were talking about your thoughts about atlanta and how right before the general election last november you were telling everybody that the state is changing. what do you think now, now that mlb has decided to leave? >> well, yeah, i kind of sounded the alarms curing election time because i was on the ground and i was seeing the demographics change, the ground game change. you know, it's true that the republicans are correct on the merits of this. "the washington post" has already destroyed the democratic party on this. when you have lost "the washington post," then you know you are straight up lying. most of the businesses that are over here virtue signaling they don't ca

it turns out the big paper in atlanta "the atlanta journal constitution" reported that the law would ban voting after 5:00. the paper's reporters apparently hadn't read the law. they had to append this correction to their piece which effectively was the same as admitting they were repeating talking point without doing any research which is what they were doing. here it is, quote: a previous version of this story said the new law would limit voting hours on election day in georgia polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and if you are in line by 7:00 p.m. you are allowed to cast your ballot. nothing in the new law changes those rules, end quote. that's the truth. finally appended to a lie. now, joe biden got his research on that bill from reporters who did no research. see how that works? today at the white house press briefing one reporter did ask an interesting question why is joe biden on television demands a boycott of an american state while not demandings a boycott of china? after all, the biden administration just declared that china was committing genocide against

steve harrigan live in atlanta, what is everybody saying, steve? >> a different strategy and mood there at the four-day tournament beginning this morning. major league baseball commissioner pulling the all-star game out of georgia due to what he says were restrictions on the ballot box from georgia's new voting law. a very different scene in a gusto where they decided to stay put and go forward. delete elder, 86-year-old first african-american to play in the masters was an honorary starter this morning. the strategy in agusta seems to be to stay put and build, not to simply walk away. here's the chairman. >> there have been calls for boycotts and other punitive measures. unfortunately, those actions often impose the greatest burdens on the most vulnerable in our society. and in this case, that includes our friends and neighbors here at a gusto who are the very focus of the positive difference we are trying to make. >> to back that up, a club broke ground on a $10 million community center in agusta. john. >> steve harrigan in atlanta, thanks so much

msnbc reporter in atlanta with the latest. good morning. >> good morning, lindsey. it's a chilly morning here in atlanta, after a week of back and forth like you said, between georgia republican lawmakers and now so many of these corporations speaking out in the aftermath of this bill already being signed, extremely restricted measures on voting rights here in the state. it would primarily target the areas around atlanta which we know heavily votes democratic and also tends to be more people of color and voters of color in these communities as well. so it really will make a large impact on the voting base here. but what we saw just yesterday is that the mlb pulling out their all-star game from georgia, and now truist field is a little outside of atlanta and they say the game would no longer take place in the state and they have not yet announced where the game will take place instead, but it comes out and opposes the voting measure as well. i want to read a statement from the mlb commissioner. this is what they said yesterday. major league baseballed ifly supports v

on friday the league announced it would move the all-star game out of atlanta. costing the state tens of millions of dollars in revenue including a lot of black business owners in the city of atlanta. which the media is, of course, ecstatic about. >> major league baseball took the necessary step and action. >> the right thing is for major league baseball to protect their brand. for them to back away. >> brian kemp said he'll not bow to pressure from major league baseball or anyone else. for georgians of good faith, of all races, try to purge trumpism from their midst. [laughter] >> nothing but good faith coming from the reverend. and as laura said last week it's time for republicans to draw a line in the sand. >> any business that bows down to boy cutters better be prepared to run into the buzz saw of tens of millions of patriotic americans who will vote as well with their wallets. i'm talking moms and dads who are sick of being lectured to by spoiled brat activists who produce zero that is useful to america. what we're seeing in georgia is just the latest of th

i mean atlanta is a great place to play baseball. i don't watch baseball anymore, brian, i refuse to watch it because of this. i don't want no part of it and this was my life. for me to not even want to go baseball game or watch it, it kills me because i don't put up with that kind of crap and i don't condone it. steve: how many people on the republican side now people are going to regard baseball as a blue state sport. brian: yeah. steve: georgia democrat some of them reached out to the white house after are joe biden pushed for the boycott and said that is not a good message for us. they got to the deputy chief of staff jen o'malley dillon and stacey abrams and senator jon ossoff both said hey, white house, we want you to know that while you are pushing that, we are going to say we oppose the boycott because the people we need to vote for us wanted the all-star game to stay there. brian: no one is buying it. steve: it's not going to poll well for us we are not for what joe biden just pushed. ainsley: what are you supposed to believ

atlanta's mayor was talking about it earlier tonight. with major league baseball taking the all-star game out of atlanta, a city that has 30% of its small businesses owned by african-americans. it will be a huge short-term blow to move the all-star game out of the state in july. the companies are trying to do positive things for long-term positive social movement and social action changes and that is a positive. about you in the short-term it will be painful for georgia. >> thank you to the three of you kicking us off tonight. coming up, the defense has their best day yet at the derek chauvin trial, but is it enough to leave a reasonable doubt with the jury? and later, why is one state head and shoulders above everyone in new covid cases? we will ask a doctor on the front lines there tonight.

steve harrigan is live from atlanta. hi, steve. >> the pushback against major league baseball's decision to move the all-star game set for july out of the state of georgia is really spiraling. more and more senators jumping on board. as hunter marco rubio from florida an open letter asking how can major league baseball sign a streaming deal with communist china which persecutes the uighur minority in china and yet they can't do business here in the state of georgia. rubio got personal with the mlb commissioner, rob manfred, in his open letter writing "i am under no illusion you intend to resign as a member from augusta national golf club. to do so would require a personal sacrifice as opposed to woke corporate virtue signaling of moving the all-star game from atlanta." agusta here in georgia. not just the mlb coming under fire, its major corporations whose ceos have spoken out against the law, like delta and coke. here's senator mitch mcconnell. >> with regard to what's been done in georgia, there's a big lie underway th
