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

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,

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

first pitch at the rangers' home opener, protesting the mlb decision to move the all-star game out of atlanta after the signed into law some of the strictest rules in the country. kimberly, this got serious fast. i kind of want to remind people that most of corporate america did not move on this until they were threatened by organizers of voting rights efforts in georgia to get on the right side of it. a number of corporations came out with the wrong statements initially and then they all piled on. i want to show you this nbc headline. culture war, once unshakable bond between republicans and corporate america. >> they have been very protective of ceos until corporate ceos are acting out of the interest of the bottom lines and out of the interest of the values that it goes against republicans. an exercise in the free market. the free marketplace of ideas and the free market of companies acting in a way they think is responsible. but republicans love that idea until it is against them. i was really struck by mitch mcconnell calling the outcry over the very restrictive voting laws. these are re

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? >>>

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

"the reidout" continues after this. biden: when i think about climate change, the word i think of is jobs. vo: and these aren't just the jobs of tomorrow. they're the jobs of right now. good paying jobs to modernize our infrastructure. in manufacturing. construction. engineering. they're in our cities... in our suburbs... and our small towns... we take on climate change... and we build back better with clean energy jobs. biden: so let's waste any more time, let's get to work. the dove beauty bar makes my skin feel amazing and clean. i've encouraged serena my best friend to switch. her skin was always beautiful. i wanted her skin to glow just like mine. it feels moisturized and clean at the same time. my friend stefanie, her skin was dry. i'm like girl you better get you s

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

attempting to avoid a scenario, like when the mlb pulled its all-star game out of atlanta. "washington post" writes this. on wednesday, republican state representative cain proposed financial penalties against entities that publicly threaten any adverse action against the state in protest against election legislation. "the post" continues, to many of the companies and voting rights advocates, the message is clear. some republicans have no plans to back down and businesses that continue to speak out could face retribution. we can't discuss these measures without reiterating that the motivation behind them is not real. it's fake. even bill barr said so. there was no widespread voter fraud, he said. even chris krebs, who was in charge of election security, said so. even though mitch mcconnell and many, many others, republicans, denounced trump's lies after the insurrection, there are still gop lawmakers in state legislatures all across the country advancing these bills, advancing these voter restriction bills, using the big lie, and the pretense of ensuring election security,

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

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

american rescue plan but that trip changed drastically following the deadly mass shootings at three atlanta area spas. six of the eight people killed were asian american women and the focus shifted to the spike in asian american hate since the start of the pandemic. biden's 100 day in office comes amid the aftermath of former police officer derek chauvin being found guilty in a court of law of murdering george floyd. and as we as a country and a community continue to take stock of where things stand for the future of policing, justice and accountability. a stark report from the associated press reveals in the 24 hours after the chauvin verdict, there were at least six more police killings across the united states with various circumstances surrounding each of them. they include 16-year-old makiyah bryant in ohio. the following body camera footage may be disturbing. the officer responding to a report of a disturbance. physically struggling with women in a driveway. appears to be wielding a knife and shot four times by the officer. just ten seconds elapsed from the time the officer exits his

why do non-white georgia voters have to wait in line so long, according to brian kemp who governs in atlanta where fulton county is, it's because democrats are not doing a good job. after shelby versus holder, georgia's voter rolls had grown by 2 million people, yet polling locations were cut statewide by nearly 10%. that is when brian kemp was secretary of state. growth has been fueled by younger non-white voters, especially in nine metro counties where four and five new voters were non-white. they have nearly half of the state's active voters. they have 38% of the polling places. the average number of voters packed into each polling location grew by nearly 40% after shelby v holder and this law cut the number of drop boxes even further so that more people have to vote in fewer places and the drop boxes are inside, so he two times both as secretary of state and governor are why people have to wait so long. he thinks they should just order takeout. your thoughts. >> brian kemp is a liar, and brian kemp tried to play a partisan card that you just dismantled for your audience tonight. you will

the white man who just killed the people in the asian spa in atlanta, they took him alive. but yet when you have a black person who ain't killed nobody, they shoot first and ask questions later. >> see, chief, the problem that i have with he had a split second decision, the parkland killer just killed a bunch of people. police took a lot more than a second deciding what they're going to do before they calmly took him into custody. the guy who shot up multiple spas, you knew he had a gun because he killed a bunch of people. when they rolled up on him, they had a reasonable case that he had a gun and might have killed them. they didn't use the gun fast. with this 13-year-old child they didn't wait ten seconds before opening up on him like it was a drive-by. he didn't wait to assess what that child was doing and that child was standing there with his hands up with nothing in them. that's the reason that people don't buy that he had a split-second decision. >> no, and joy, fundamentally i agree with you. i made the same arguments very publicly. i've become a pariah somewhat in

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

we, of course, don't have any evidence of that yet, he last played in the nfl back in 2015 for the atlanta falcons. >>> so, more gun control measures are coming. that is the message from jim clyburn today. this is coming as president biden unveiled a half dozen executive actions to curb gun violence this week, including limiting access to stabilizing braces and homemade guns without serial numbers. clyburn said on msnbc today that congress can pass a bipartisan bill to go further following multiple mass shootings. >> why is it so important to get a gun in three days? who's wrong with ten days? we'll wait 30 days to get something in the mail when we order it online. there's nothing about having a gun within ten days that's so important. >> and while democrats suggest ways to prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands, republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is giving away a free gun. she posted the raffle online saying, quote, this, my gun giveaway ends soon, be sure to enter to win it before joe biden tries to ban it. wow. >>> okay, i want to bring in nbc's scott cohn in san jo

texas governor greg abbott says he is basically boycotting baseball after they decided to move it from atlanta. he said he will not throw out the first pitch at the mlb game in houston tonight. the crowd at tonight's texas rangers home opener is expected to be the largest for the u.s. sporting event amid the pandemic. the 40,000-seat stadium is reopening at full capacity. >>> all right, that's going to do it for us this hour. chuck is going to be back tomorrow with much more "meet the press daily." you can catch me weekdays on msnbc way too early. my coverage on msnbc continues with my friend katy tur after a quick break. my friend katy tur quick break. they're tv shows. you woke up early. no one cares. yes. so, i was using something called homequote explorer from progressive to easily compare home insurance rates. was i hashtagging? progressive can't help you from becoming your parents, but we can help you compare rates on home insurance with homequote explorer. guess what. the waiter doesn't need to know your name. age before beauty? why not both? visibly diminish wrinkled skin in... crepe c

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

i mean, i think what's so fascinating for a lot of us -- ashanti after atlanta happened were some of the first to reach out to me and ask, how are we showing up for our asian sisters? i think what's most troubling in this moment is that like this conversation on inter sectionality, what this means for asian, asian americans, it's often kind of kept in this political activist educated bubble, right. some of the hardest conversations i've had in the last few weeks, it's been with my own parents, right. with our family members, relatives, and actually naming this anti-blackness that has existed for a very long time, right. it's those conversations, the grassroots, like going into the community and having those conversations are going to be some of the hardest work that we do. >> and, ashanti, i'm going to read from the op-ed. and this is the key line that made me say, i need to have these two women on the show to talk about this. and you write, in the wake of recent -- of a recent spike of anti-asian violence and with little evidence, many have begun to point to a divide between black a

in the same week that the george floyd situation is going on, it reminds me of what happened in atlanta, where a black man got shot barely jogging through a wendy's parking lot. shot in the back and killed. and you just sit here wondering, what is wrong with these people? what do they not understand? how do we drive these bad cops out of police forces before this happens? because it's the good cops whose reputations get sullied by these bad cops. >> joe, i think things in my mind are changing so much because in that case, you mentioned, in atlanta, the local da charged an officer with murder. you didn't see that before. and you're seeing this national conversation of race and politician from the george floyd case and you see the serious charges about -- against derek chauvin. and the prosecution put on a really strong case and it's executive order national attention. i think moving forward, you need to have some legislation involving the mandatory use of body cameras. can you imagine where we would be without body camera footage today? also, i think you should have legislation about 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,

she we are joined now live from atlanta university center. you covered a lot of ground with these students, tell us more about it. you know these students are hopeful but only call your attentionly so. so we heard a lot of reaction to the derek chauvin trial this week, but two things stuck out to me. this was a defining moment, the protests that many of them took part in. it has ticken up a lot of ground. the other thing is they they are really a coming of asian they are based on the deaths of michael brown, just kind of playing out as they were becoming tarms and going through adolescence. they say it has had a big impact on them. >> how many of you were surprised by the verdict? so all of you were surprised in some way? how many of you were relieved. >> it is hard for us to say that i feel relieved because then i have to gear up for something else that i have to champion. >> when our professor said guilty, there was like a weird backlash and reaction from some people, some political figures, some people in the news, and that celebration kin

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

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

he was in a mall in atlanta where he saw a young man shopping for an engagement ring. he offered to pay for it. he said he tries to do one good deed every time he leaves the house. >> seeing the guy, he was so shy. he said how much do i owe to payoff the ring. i said, let me do it. at first, he didn't want to take it. i said don't worry about it. i do it all the time. >> very sweet. congratulations and the guy who didn't have to pay to get it. here, mitch mcconnell strikes a different tone on the role of corporations on politics and learning what generated the january 6 attack. >> and 10 years ago, somali pirate ships hijack the ships. >> today, they might have met their match. the crew fought back, apparently they got their ship back but the pirates took their captain and the drama went on from there. all of this is taking place off the coast of somalia, eastern africa. look how the shirt on the left attracts pet hair like a magnet! pet hair is no match for bounce. with bounce, you can love your pets, and lint roll less. the lexus es, now available with all-wheel driv

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

baptist church when beth moore has left and last southern baptist in the news shot eight people in atlanta because of supposed sex addiction. >> and they have control of the supreme court, 6-3 ahead. >> this is going to be issue for us. this is one of the things that the biden administration will have to think about, whether or not they want to expand the court, what happens with the court, what will the court do if they get a roe versus wade case up there. abortion is not only thing evangelicals want, they want to be in power, that's the bottom line. >> indeed, thank you so much for being here. best of luck with the book. that's "the reid out." "all in" with chris hayes starts now. >>> tonight on "all in," companies call out voter suppression push as man who empowered corporations complains they're bullying republicans. >> my advice to corporate ceos of america, stay out of politics. >> senator bernie sanders on the pushback against the big lie. and shocking/not shocking reporting how the trump campaign bilked supporters out of money. >>> and derek chauvin trial, chief
