over the weekend, major league baseball pulling up the all-star game from atlanta. my question is, how does this kind of pressure sit with political leaders? can it be effective in getting them to change a law? >> this is really vaccinating. it is been a fascinating develop ment. it did not start with this georgia law. we saw it in places like north carolina with the bathroom bill. we are seated on gay rights and other states. the laws and other states. what is happening, and this is especially true in the south, these metro regions like atlanta, dallas, houston that were pretty republican have become a lot more democratic. this is where these companies are headquartered and many of their employees come from those blue areas. they live in those blue areas and those expectations are that the companies they work for reflect the values that they share. that is a bg reason why we are seeing in states where they have incredible influence but were that influence is really relegated to just the metro region. what i think happens is that it divides e state. once again betwe

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

jobs in georgia, coca-cola has 9,000 jobs in georgia, 4,000 of which -- or 5,000, actually, are in the atlanta metropolitan area. so when it comes to boycotting those entities, you're talking about people's jobs. but at the same time, when you talk about withdrawing major league baseball and the all-star game from georgia, that sends a very powerful message to the supporters of the people who voted on the laws that brian kemp signed. so i'm hopeful. >> that's the point, it started with these laws. ray, picking up on the congressman's point, for those calling to boycott, there is some concern that these boycotts might actually hurt some of the same people that democrats want to help in georgia. for those who think boycotting is not the best move, then what should be done to protest this, if we can't boycott? do we have to choose between jobs and our right to vote? is there another way? because i clearly think boycotting is appropriating. >> listen, we got here by all means necessary, reverend al. and if we look at what's taking place across the country, according to the brennan center, 47 state

biggest blowback came from major league baseball which announced that it's pulling its all-star game from atlanta in july. here was the reaction from georgia governor brian kemp. >> this is unbelievable, really, unfortunate today obviously that major league baseball has folded up and caved to the canceled culture and a bunch of liberal -- >> chris: doug, a number of red states, were moving to restrict voting laws. will the blowback from major corporations -- we saw coca-cola and delta and major league baseball did in georgia, in texas where there's also a move to restrict, put new restrictions on voting you're seeing pushback from american airlines and dell computers. is that, you think, going to stop the move to reform voting? >> no, it looks like a lot of republicans will double down and if you're brian kemp, you were worried before this week for being primaried because you were in the wrong side of donald trump a couple of times. one to have unintended consequences politically by major league baseball essentially going to the left of stacey abrams has sured up brian kemp from a primary somethi

week president biden said he supports moving this year's a major league baseball all-star game out of atlanta in response to the law. joining me now, "wall street journal" columnist kim strassel, editorial board member kyle peterson and dan henninger. so, kyle, you've followed this law from the very beginning. is it voter suppression? >> well, there's a lot in the law, but i would say, no, not really. so something that joe biden keeps saying, he's said it two or three times now, is that they're closing polling places at 5 p.m. just when working people are getting off. that's just not true. the law has some mandatory minimum hours for early voting, 9-5. analysts who have looked at this are saying, essentially, that means places that are shorter than that, that offer less than that right now are going to have to expand, but counties can also offer voting from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. which is plenty for these metropolitan areas. so that's just one example of something that's in the law that is an expansion of voting and is being cast completely the opposite way. paul: well, if i'm not mistaken, this ac

this is an industrial site, not a commercial area like we got with the recent atlanta shootings or a place with a lot of consumers that we got with the boulder shooting. this is a place where you wouldn't really see the traffic that you see in those places. so one would expect this is a employee or former employee that triggered it. you know, three times in two weeks i'm here with these mass shootings. and each of them you can sort of parse the different motivations. so i would be curious what kind of gun was used in an age when we certainly know the ability to kill lots of people or harm lots of people quickly is made easier by the amount of guns that we have here uniquely in america. >> certainly. so let me ask you, chief, the texas department of public safety does say a dps trooper was shot while pursuing a suspect. and they had to pursue the suspect into a neighboring county. this was a pursuit. what does this tell you? >> erin, as a person who has responded to these kinds of situations, you are always thinking the worst, who, what, when, where, and why. and certainly what kind o

first, react to the news of mlb not coming to atlanta. >> he is frozen. all right. what a shame. then i'll just have to waste a little time until we get him back. i may as well tell you what i think about this. what i find -- put up the ed bastian, jeff, if you could put up the full screen we had from the delta chief executive. here is what the delta chief executive says. that strikes me as accurate, insofar as, i think the brennan center, i'm doing this from memory, have said there are like 24 different states that are cracking down on widespread election fraud based on the presidential race. there was no documentation of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. so i've said in the past, is this all a solution in search of a problem? having said that, when i scrutinize the georgia law and brake it down by its component parts, i do think that the demonization of it is being inflated. and, you know, the sound bite, you saw that i just had to go through the reading of the law, what it used to be and what it is now. it's complicated stuff to wade through and it's fa

and then over the weekend, or friday, major league baseball pulling out the all-star game from atlanta. my question is: how does this kind of pressure sit with political leaders? does it -- can it be affective in getting them to change a law? >> amy: you know, judy, this is really fascinating. it has been a fascinating development that has been going on for the last 10 or 15 years, and it doesn't really start with the georgia law. were you saw it, from example, in places like north north carolina with the bathroom bill, and gun laws, and this is especially true in the southeast, and metro regions like atlanta and dallas and houston, have become much more democratic, and in some cases, deep blue. this is where these companies are head quartered, and many of the employees come from the blue areas and live in the blue areas, and the expectations are the companies they work for reflect the values that they share. and that's, i think, a big reason why we're seeing so many of these companies in states where the company has an incredible influence, but where that influence is really relegated

eventually, he and his wife launched restaurants of their own in manhattan and atlanta. charlie's warmth made it easy to build a rapport with colleagues and guests, and many became friends for life. he cherished his time with family, and above all, wanted to be a role model for his grandkids. sherrell gorman was always on the move, her friends and family said. she was the kind of person who would "always bring joy into the room." sherrell was well-known in her louisiana community as the captain of the long-running all-woman “krewe of isis,” one of the many teams that organize mardi gras celebrations. but the 56-year-old was just as well-known for her generous spir. one lifelong friend said that, whenever she met someone new, "she never left a stranger." those closest to robb malone described him as selfless and relentlessly positive. a sports standout during high school, robb became a much-loved coach within his minnesota youth-sports community. it was because he put “genuine care for the players” above all else, his daughter said. he was quick to help neighbors,

he again assailed major league baseball for moving its all-star game out of atlanta in protest to the law, a move he said was, quote, irritating one hell of a lot of republican fans. he also made a reference to delta airlines and coca-cola, both headquartered in atlanta, both which have opposed the law. >> republicans buy stock and fly on planes and drink coca-cola, too. so what i'm saying here is i think this is quite stupid to jump in the middle of a highly controversial issue particularly when they have their facts wrong. >> keeping them honest, mcconnell hasn't always felt that way. back in 2012 in a speech to the american enterprise institute, he said that all corporations, quote shore, be free to express themselves on the issues of the day. again, quoting i mean who is afraid here? let's all have a conversation he said about the future of the country. meanwhile, the former president has weighed in, as well, in a statement over the weekend he called for a boycott of delta and coke among others but in a phone interview with a conservative cable news network newsmax, he directed so

steve osunsami leading us off tonight with late news from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: a cdc advisory panel tonight says it needs more time and information to respond to the new concerns about the johnson & johnson vaccine. which means for now, americans should continue holding off using this brand of the covid vaccine. >> we do not have to arrive at a vote today or a recommendation today. if we need more time to think about this, we can reconvene later this week or this weekend. >> reporter: a very small number of women who suffered blood clots after getting the shot caused health officials to put a hold on using the drug. health officials here worry that this potential adverse reaction looks a little too similar to what happened in europe with the astrazeneca vaccine. the astrazeneca vaccine is made using similar technology as the johnson & johnson, and in europe 19 people died. >> there are some rather strong similarities about this with regard to the time frame following vaccination. particularly importantly, the clinical syndrome of these clots together with low platelets. so the

if i think about the hospitality industry, i was talking with three restaurant owners here in atlanta just last week who are struggling to find workers as business is coming back online. and we had a lot of conversations about how important it is to train managers. the owners of restaurants, large hospitality companies, no matter how noble the ceo, they are not in those units every day. they're not hiring, they're not coaching, they're not addressing or promoting. so putting the effort on training frontline managers who can do a phenomenal job of attracting, retaining and developing women from within, that is a secret sauce to some of these policies having an impact on the frontline level. >> alex carder, i'm going to go to you but you can take a question to deens, it might be the same one. what is your advice to women right now in terms of approaching getting back in, but they still have a home that is literally defending upon them with kids, the potential positive work remote, the issues of starting all over again when they were completely displaced, which is traumatic? >> you know,

so, here's our senior national correspondent steve osunsami from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: any future use of the johnson & johnson covid vaccine could be decided tomorrow by a cdc advisory panel. because it's a single shot, it's become an important tool in fighting the coronavirus. >> we need to make a decision quickly i'm and really hopeful that we'll be able to use the vaccine soon. >> reporter: u.s. health officials put use of the vaccine on hold after six women developed rare blood clots after getting the shot. tomorrow, they could continue with that hold or join health officials in europe, who just days ago decided that the benefits outweigh the risks and have cleared the vaccine to be used with a safety warning. across the country, it appears fewer people are rushing to get immunized, with thousands of appointments sitting empty and some vaccination places shutting down. >> when 16 and older opened, i did expect a rush and it just never materialized. >> reporter: for the first time in weeks, the daily average of shots put into arms has fallen below 3 million doses a day.

but first, abc's steve osunsami leads us off from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: it's the covid vaccine that promises good protection with a single dose. an important tool for public health officials around the world. but tonight, the fda is telling everyone to hold off using the johnson & johnson vaccine. a very small number of women have come down with an extremely rare blood clot after getting the shot. >> this is a really rare event. if you look at what we know so far, there have been six out of the 6.85 million doses, which is less than one in a million. >> reporter: all six women were between 18 and 48 years old. they got sick about 6 to 13 days after getting vaccinated. the clots formed in veins of the sinus and prevented blood from draining out of the brain. one woman died, another in critical condition. there's no evidence showing the vaccine caused the condition, and to be super clear, your chances of getting struck by lightning are nearly twice as high -- one in half a million. but the fda is warning anyone who got the johnson & johnson vaccine in the last three weeks to be o

it's a promise he made, and in the wake of back-to-back mass shootings in boulder and the atlanta area, what is he going to do? >> the white house isn't really are revealing the extent of what we're going to see tomorrow, but we do know we are expecting executive orders to come from president biden on guns tomorrow. the white house has only said we'll hear more from him on this. this is something that's imminent, the white house has been talking about ever since the shootings in georgia and in colorado. so, the question really is not just whether or not he's going to actually put an executive order forward, but how permanent can it be. the fear there and threat there is they can be undone by the next president and a different party should they so chose. that's going to be the scope we're looking at here. how far do these executive orders go, what do they do when it comes to strengthening background checks, things of that nature we know president biden has been interested in, and does he still try to pursue that legislative route he said is important to him but not as important as infra

i am from atlanta and once upon a time, we were up 28-3 in new england patriots so the world saw how that ended. being black american is like being a falcon fan. the outcome is not what you think is going to be. >> the defense began its case today by playing body cam footage from what we have all seen, right? floyd's arrests in may 2018, a year before his death. floyd told her he had been taken multiple pills every 20 minutes and he took one right before officers walked up the car. they're playing the drug use. what's your reaction of the defense today? >> it is character assassination and it happens every single time in a case like this. everybody who seen this case from the people who were there that day to the other cops in the minneapolis police department and all the paramedics responded. everybody sees this and they know derek chauvin is guilty. only thing they have is characterization. >> the jury was attentive today. she said floyd was happy and normal when she saw him inside the cup foods store and he suddenly fell asleep when they got into his car. let me play part of the e

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

business community to speak up, including the chamber of commerce, the georgia chamber and the metro atlanta chamber. and it is true that they were behind the scenes hoping they could make the bill better, i think, and i think, actually, at the end they think that what they did, at least they thought what they did, was sufficient, that there was some terrible provisions that were removed from the bill. but the bill that passed is still terrible and their failure to speak as themselves, as georgia corporations, they were beginning to feel the heat when these ceos came out this morning, these are heavy hitters, rachel. these are not people who are silly, who are fly-by-night. these are men and women when they call, you take the call, and business leaders across the country know that. they know these names. so when this came out this morning, a full-page ad in "the new york times" and you saw the ceos on cnbc and the other channels that people in finance watch in the morning, it was clear to me that this was a game changer and i think that with the pressure from the local groups and, of course,

razor wire is around all five police precinct new york atlanta chicago also preparing. what is the floyd family's message to anybody who wants to go to the street and protest. and i say, no matter what the verdict is. >> well, first of all, i mean, the floyd family is not stopping anybody from protesting. they do want peaceful protesting. they've said once, they've said it forever, justice for george is justice for all. and so now we have to worry about justice for dante wright and adam toledo. i'm in chicago, we have to brace for that tonight. hopefully it will be peaceful here too. this nation is only talking about policing. we need to look at this concept, this issue, and really get serious about reform. but in the meantime, it is totally permissible to be out in those streets exercising your first amendment rights and freedom of speech. >> appreciate your time. thank you. >> and next, congressman jim jordan rips into dr. anthony fauci and maxine waters would have none of it. >> you need to respect the chair and shut your mouth. >> and biden lowering the boom on russ
