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,

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

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

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

mayor bottoms, mayor of atlanta. there are people outside the state saying we're not comfortable going in there, so major league all-star game responded not because the values were offended so much so, but players themselves said we don't want to go to a place where we feel unwelcome or a where our voice can't be heard and can't vote. we'll see how hollywood responds because that's an interesting split that we see right now and they don't want to take jobs from front line workers and the jobs will be there, just a different state will get those jobs. >> all right. let me thank both of you for being with us. jerry sonnenfeld and michael walden. my thanks to both of you. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. ext, my final thous stay with us , it's more treatab. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask y

coca-cola, cnn, delta are atlanta corporations, they're international corporations, but they're atlanta. they can and should put on pressure. what this bill was, we can't give out food and drink and the republican legislators can take over the election apparatus is just anathema to america as we know it. we saw it in the 2020 election that was the most honest, transparent and free of conflict, free of any appearance of interference in our history and that was a bipartisan position. so yeah, i think they need to take action. they need to consider moving some of their headquarters or operations away from atlanta. i'd welcome delta to come back to memphis. we used to be a hub. main ard jackson airport is a horror show. it's gigantic and it's just stacked up. they need to keep the public's convenience more in mind and memphis is the perfect place. i just hope our legislature doesn't do as bad as georgia's and that's entirely possible. >> steve cohen, thank you. appreciate you talking to us this afternoon. happy easter. >> nice to be with you. and don't forget, this is the anniversary of dr.

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

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

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

so you don't want to be saying, yeah, i gut the all-star game out of atlanta. i deprived you, the peanut vendor, of a day's worth of work, stuff like that. that makes sense for them to have done that. and in the long haul of history, it made sense for rob manford to delay, uh-uh, we're out of here. >> but, you know, nicole, brian kemp keeps repeating in all of his public statements, it seems, in all of his written statements, that woke radicals like stacey abrams moved the game out of atlanta. time and time again, from the beginning of this, stacey abrams has made it quite clear that she fought to keep the game in atlanta. and he knows that, and yet he continues to lie in his press releases about stacey abrams. he continues to lie in his public statements about stacey abrams. >> yeah, i mean, but this is not surprising. we know that these laws are based upon lies. these laws are based upon lies that the election was stolen, that there were illegitimate voters that led to the democrats to really sweep the state of georgia. so the least surprising thing is that n

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

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,

shame on the atlanta braves for the ridiculous statement they released. good luck to other teams who don't have active voter suppression or general people oppression laws in place. i was a member of the state legislature a long time ago. the reality is republican legislators try to call themselves fundamentally pro business, but look here, business ain't coming to your state if you're oppressing people and suppressing people's right to vote. business is not coming in the face of human oppression. that needs to be the new standard going forward. i hope these deeply red legislatures realize we can't detach economic behavior from the social construct. >> guys, appreciate you so much, good seeing you. >>> if you want evidence that america's covid-19 battle is far from over, one state is exhibit "a" in this story. ♪ for decades, most bladder leak pads were similar. until always discreet changed that. by inventing a revolutionary pad, that's incredibly thin. because it protects differently. with two rapiddry layers that overlap, where you need it most. for st

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

right now, to your point, there is 4 million people across the country, approximately, from atlanta to orange county here in southern california that used some type of this technology. singapore relies largely on this technology. l.a., to give you an idea, would double the people in the united states that is drinking recycled wastewater, and that really is extraordinary in and of itself. >> jacob soboroff, a great, great report, and thank you for this delicious, mineral-free recycled water. thanks a lot, man. >> cheers, my friend. all right, that is "all in." the rachel maddow show starts right now. good evening, rachel. >> you're such a good man and you're a dad, chris, and every once in a while we have to remind ourselves there is an eight-year-old that lives inside you. >> you cannot imagine the number of jokes i've made about this segment in a run-up to today and throughout the day and on the commercial break before this aired, it's been essentially nonstop. >> i know, i know. because i know there is an eight-year-old that lives inside you. not the part that drives and parents and

i mean, pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, portland, atlanta -- wherever, they look like. that they look like they're going to war. they have shields. they have 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 need to whom. that's the point. explicitly. it's a psychological performance. >> that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, a show of force with curfews and tear gas. flashbacks. and now just take all of that footage we've seen. before last summer, during last summer, and since, and now. take all of that. and just look for a moment at the utter in version of what happened on the steps of the capital in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean, there are officers there, right? i've covered multiple protests in washington. there tends to be a lot of cops around. particularly on the mall, on the capital. but on january six, there was relatively speaking, no one there. they don't have the big man huge fits of equipment brought in. the

yesterday the mlb announced it will pull the game from atlanta. this comes after georgia passed a controversial voting law last week. this morning, atlanta's mayor keisha lance bottoms said there's still time for the governor to make things right. >> 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 that it is truly a bill that expands access to the right to vote. i think this is just the first of many dominos that will fall in this state, and we are all going to suffer because of it. >> now, this is not just happening in georgia. in less than five weeks, lawmakers across the u.s. have introduced more than 300 restrictive voting bills in just about every state. joining us now is kavitha davidson, a sports and culture writer for "the atlantic." and also coauthor of "loving sports when they don't love you back: dilemmas of the modern fan." welcome to the program. >> thank you. >> what is your sense of th

, asked mlb to keep it in atlanta. the same thing with john ossoff and ralph warnock. they all said, please, don't take this game out of atlanta. let's have the spotlight on this voting law by having the all-star game here. it's a better opportunity and don't hurt people in this city. a lot of people in georgia wish they had listened to stacey abrams and the two democratic senators. adrienne elrod, let's talk about the provision that i think causes most concerns to most people who do see this as a power grabby republicans. and that is, where you're allowing the state legislature to take over and step in for the secretary of state. and step in for local election officials. i know you and i and so many people remember what was happening in michigan, where that young republican election official that kept getting intimidated and knocked around, because they wanted him to cheat. and he refused to cheat. and they couldn't step in. the same thing happened in georgia. the same thing happened across the country with donald tru

a week before that, eight people, including six women of asian descent, were killed in three atlanta-area spas. always so incredibly discouraging to start out, again, with what is a horrific normal in america. and as congress debates what to do about this epidemic of gun violence, new polling shows overwhelming support for certain reforms. according to a new politico poll, 85% of registered voters support background checks on all gun sales, compared to 11% who oppose them. when it comes to background checks at gun shows and private sales, 79% support that reform 13% are against it and 64% say they support a ban on assault-style weapons, 27% oppose 64% of americans cofounder of "punch bowl news," john resnahan. here we are again talking about another mass shooting. here we are again having the conversation about gun reform in congress and you and i have talked about this as recently as last week when you pointed out rightly that this happens, then nothing happens in congress. what is the biden administration going to try to do about this? >> they're teeing up some executive orders on this

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.

the people that are hurt are the working class people of atlanta, georgia. and that's why major league baseball moved too quickly. they should have listened to stacey abrams. they have have invited stacey abrams in. they should have invited raph warknock in. instead of being swept away by some social media mob. if they talked to stacey abrams, be in a lot better position than they are, willie. >> yeah. let's be clear, this is not a defense of the law in georgia. mika is absolutely right. the entire law is based on a lie that we need to tighten up our elections, elections that court after court after court after election security official and federal election official said was the most secure in the history of our country. so it's a lie that we needed to make our elections tighter and more efficient. the truth is, though, that this is hurting eugene scott. a lot of people as say see abrams said wish we could focus on the legislation and not pull the game out of a town that really needed this money, needed this injection of support for people around atlanta wh
