moving the all-star game out of atlanta. a move supported by president biden. joining me now for reaction along with fox news legal analyst jarrett is outnumber co-host and attorney emily -- thank you for joining us. emily, i'll start with you. you're a sports fan, and i see yothese companies succumbing to this rhetoric that's false information and then making corporate decisions that are, in the case of atlanta, going to harm the people of georgia by pulling out major league baseball and the all-starr game out of atlanta. >> that's exactly right, jason. the people who end up paying for this are those that were employed by the event that they are pulling out. it's those communities that depended on the retail, on the support by's crowds, et cetera. it's exactly what we saw when hollywood decided to boycott georgia and the irony is that there are states with far more draconious election laws. they are laying out their social justice line. what about the 1.5 million corporations and entities that are headquartered in delaware that enjoy the law that is protect th

nba all-star game out of atlanta. it will spread to florida, arizona, texas, whatever is deemed a red state will be deemed never to be hold a major sporting event again. >> harris: biden might not be in the white house if not for minority voters. it will crush those businesses. let's look at the list. other companies and organizations that have criticized the georgia voting law. we aren't saying they're boycotting but criticizing. that's where these things sometimes can start. i say sometimes. we can't tell the future. from what you're saying, atlanta, all of georgia can be hurt by these decisions and i want to point out who did their homework on denver? who did their homework on colorado and compare the voter laws? i.d. required in colorado like georgia? yes. to vote in person. sometimes you have to bring a picture i.d. if it's your first time. in colorado 15 days of early voting. less than the early days of voting and fewer than they have in georgia. 17 to 19 there. >> i don't think many of these companies really st

why are you taking the all-star game out of atlanta which is going to cause georgia and specifically fulton county, democrats $100 million in revenue? are you really that spineless? are you really that stupid? because the league apparently has no problem. mlb, they do business in china and we are learning tonight that mlb is bolstering its ties with one of china's largest tech companies. actually cracks down on that executive. by the way, can you pick up will call tickets for a baseball game, sporting event, concert if you don't have a picture i.d.? no, you cannot. senator marco rubio had the strong message for the commissioners saying i am under no illusion that it will sacrifice business revenue on behalf of its elected corporate values. similarly, i am under no illusion that you intend to resign as a member from augustine national yacht club. to do so would require a personal sacrifice as opposed to the woke corporate virtue signaling of moving the all-star game to atlanta. why is joe biden not being held accountable for his role in starting and fueling the entire fire? peter dooc

you've got keisha bottoms, the mayor of atlanta, who is also saying she's disappointed about it. and it is a lot of money. but again, past the money, you've got to figure this is looking through the political prizm, whether it's for business or politicians but they've got to get the story right, as kat mentioned. it's not us, it's the washington post that pointed out that people are looking at old versions of the bill and not looking at the final version and some of the details which in some cases, not all, but some cases expand voter rights. howie: yeah, media have to be careful jumping on the bandwagon to get the facts right. let me move to the pandemic. the media rhetoric heated up after the cdc chief said she was scared. >> i'm going to lose the script. i'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling i have of impending doom. howie: donald trump's former medical advisors appeared in a documentary and deborah birx described a tense call from the president. >> were you threatened? >> i would say it was a very uncomfortable conversation. he felt very strongly that i misrepresented

atlanta is known as the modern day black wall street. i don't understand how you're going to help black folks when you bankrupt their companies by not giving them more business while they're already struggling during the middle of a pandemic and now you're saying leave, mlb. >> and you're talking about millions upon millions of dollars that the major league baseball all-star game brings into any city that hosts it, lawrence. have you the media that is echoing this lie and chris christie is exactly right. it is a lie what's being said about this georgia voting law. the washington post actually did a fact check of joe biden on this. he got four pinocchios for it. it's the worst possible rating you can get in terms of a claim and the president is lying about this. you have a media that's echoing it. cbs news over the weekend, here's the headline. three ways companies with help fight georgia's restrictive new voting law. so it's activeism, here's how you fight back and it says it's restrictive when it actually expands the law. major league b

brian kemp hits back after major league baseball decides to move this summer's all-star game out of atlanta over the backlash over the state necessary new voting law. the question is how does georgia's election law compare to other states. >>> plus, week two of the george floyd trial gets under way. and the chief of police expected to testify against his former colleague. the get is, what will he say on stand. >>> also, crews try to fix a waste water plant near tampa. the question is could we see a catastrophe? it's "way too early" for this. >>> good morning. and welcome to "way too early," the show that had more than enough jelly beans over the weekend. i am kasie hunt on this monday, april 5th. we'll start with the news. georgia governor brian kemp is criticizing major league baseball and several atlanta-based companies as backlash over the state's voting law continues. on friday, the mlb announced it would be moving the upcoming all-star game from atlanta to a ballpark in another state. that news had the governor hitting back over the weekend, even comparing voting laws in georgia to tho

the asian-american community in georgia, following the mass shooting here in atlanta. it was a raw and powerful meeting in a very emotional moment and some criticized me for speaking out nationally about that hate crime. some criticized me for saying how ugly and sinister it was. since then, because of the two senators you sent, among others, the united states senate passed the covid-19 hate crimes act to protect asian americans and pacific islanders from the vicious hate crimes we have seen too often and too long. it passed 94-to-1. don't tell me we can't make progress. it's the first step, and we have a lot more to do. that's right. if we are to truly heal the soul of america, we need to project that sacred right and protect it to vote. in this state of dr. king and john lewis, you know how precious and precarious the right to vote is. in november and again in january, your vote changed the world. instead of celebrating that, it is being attacked. more people voted for president in 2020 than any time in american history ever. and they did it in the middle of a pandem

over half of the population in atlanta is black. the revenue loss from the all-star game going away could total more than $100 million in lost tourism revenue to the area according to one official. but when you're looking at the voting laws, the reason why mlb moved the game out of georgia to colorado, when you compare the two states, colorado has fewer days of early voting than georgia. 15 days to georgia's 17. both states require a valid i.d. to vote by mail and in person. they also both allow no excuse vote by mail. but politicians on the local level in georgia could be having the biggest impact on businesses that are choosing to take a political position on this. georgia house voted to strip delta, one of the outspoken corporations of millions of dollars in tax breaks. the georgia senate still has to weigh in on this before the bill potentially could land on the governor's desk for him to sign offer on. but the bottom line is, there can be consequences on the local level for these corporations. we also, david, did reach out to m

now that you have joe biden even claiming that it may be good for the all-star game to move out of atlanta, here is the question i have, who does that help? who does the boycotts help with this not help the georgians who plan to work that event, maybe the hospitality industry that they're going to make up some losses financial losses they had during covid, there is a reason even stacy abrams came out and said these boycotts are harming the people they say they're trying to help. i don't understand the game plan other to say this is a long push for changes on a lateral level federal level hr when i think that's with her ultimate pushing for. before you invoke the phrase of old which is worse than jim crow. jim porro on steroids which is historically illiterate. so kevin i want to come to you. i understand you probably do not support the law, but shouldn't president biden not lie about the law? he was last week in a press conference making statements about what was in this legislation involving what he said was curtailing boating hours on voting day to target workers. it turned out that was

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 than george let alone china, the communist country that major league baseball still does work with. we have fox team coverage. steve harrigan and atlanta where the backlash against major league baseball's decision is growing. but we begin with white house correspondent peter doocy who asked that question live from the north lawn. >> i had a chance to ask president biden this afternoon who did speak supportively of moving the baseball all-star game out of georgia whether or not all sporting events in that state, now that they got a new voting law are created equal. >> do you think the masters golf tournament should be moved out of georgia? >> i think that's up to the masters. you know, it is reassuring to see that for-profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new jim crow laws are just antithetical to who we are. i think that's a very tough decision for a corporation to make

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

correspondent jonathan serrie has details tonight from atlanta. good evening, jonathan. >> good evening to you, shannon. investigators are still trying to determine a motive. the gunman forced his way into the home of that prominent doctor who lived just outside of rock hill, normally a quiet town in upstate south carolina. 70-year-old dr. robert wesley and his wife barbara and two grandchildren ages 9 and 5 were found dead inside the home. the gunman also shot two air conditioning technicians 38-year-old james lewis was found dead outside the doctor's house. his co-worker called for help and is now hospitalized with severe gunshot wounds. and is fighting hard for his life, according to his cousin. the york county sheriff says it does not appear the gunman took anything from the home but he did leave evidence that led investigators to a immediately identify the suspect as former nfl player philip adams. >> we have no indication right now that there was a doctor-patient relationship between dr. leslie and philip aadams. >> authorities found adams d

>> what do you think about the possibility that baseball decides to move their all-star game out of atlanta because of this political issue? >> i think today's professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly. i would strongly support them doing that. the very people who were victimized the most are the people who are leaders in these various sports. it's just not right. this is jim crow on steroids. >> kevin: breaking tonight, mr. biden throwing his support behind a potential relocation out of atlanta, georgia, of major league baseball's all-star game this summer. other companies that call georgia home are facing increasing pressure from the left to get woke or go broke and one of the peach state's new election integrity law. delta's ceo saying "i need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match delta's values. let's get reaction from the author of the upcoming book "woke inc." and the culture of project 21 horace cooper. tell me, is he on the money with this thing and why are we even hearing from companies like coke and delta on a topic like this

they hold their championship in atlanta in september. both organizations saying they think it is better to stay and help local communities as opposed to simply picking up and walking away. a number of players have been asked about playing in georgia during this controversy. some were very careful about wading into political questions. here is rory mcilroy. >> i have to be respectful and somewhat careful about what i say. i'm not a citizen of this country. i certainly think all great countries and democracies are built on equal voting rights and everyone being able to get to the ballot boxes easily as possible. >> his competitor champ by racial expressed his own discomfort at georgia's law. >> i think a lot of people it's very disappointed to see that. as you can tell it really targets certain black communities and makes it harder for them to vote which to me is everybody's right to vote. so to see that was very shocking and obviously with mlb and what they did moving the all-star game was a big statement. >> augusta national and sponsors

so we have been talking about atlanta a lot but -- what the atlanta terrorist attack its point is to it's not just but color identity which is what races and also gender identity but there was definitely a come opinion informant misogyny and very often in white nationalism there's antisemitism and along the lines genderrity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, it's. a lot of different components that need to be factored in when we're seeking to understand white nationalism and understanding it as anti -- in order to counter white nationalism as well as addressing inequities within the current security paradigm is going to be necessary as well as helpful to move from just looking at this a problem of skin color to looking at this as an issue of many different types of oppression. so. he if the will help us -- empathy will help us understand and antioppression will help us create policies and together it's hoe hill city is justice so a -- holistic justice, a comprehend hesive form of justice. >> if you have enough questions for star remarks type them in the chat. we have a few really

atlanta is also coke's hometown. the beverage company isn't alone in its displeasure with the law, more than a hundred companies are speaking out against restricting voter access to the polls. cnn's matt egan has more. >> reporter: ceos are speaking out ton republican efforts to restrict voting. the leaders of more than a hundred companies including target and uber issued a statement on friday, vowing to oppose legislation that would deny eligible voters the right to cast ballots. the ceos say that voting should be safe and accessible to all voters, and that a strong democracy is good for business. texas based american airlines says it strongly opposes a texas bill that would place new restrictions on voting. all this comes after some atlanta-based companies base boycott threats over their initial response to georgia's controversial voting restriction law. both coca-cola and delta have since escalated their criticism of that legislation with delta ceo ed -- calling it unacceptable, wrong and based on a line. after th

let me start by asking you about -- with this alleged jim crow law, they move out of atlanta and they go to denver where you have a stricter i.d. law where you have to have an i.d. to vote. >> i just think take baseball. you have got two teams. unfortunately the astros cheated. you want two teams. you want everybody to be fair it's aprivilege to vote. it's something as a u.s. citizen, it's a privilege to vote. and all those laws have gone out the door. you show an i.d. to get on an airplane. what is wrong with showing an i.d. to vote? it's something that we should always have to do. it's just really sad, this culture that's come around. i don't understand why baseball would do that. i just can't figure it out. it saddens me more than anything. judge jeanine: when you look at people in professional sports, they are almost subject to the last minute changes by major league or by football, and you guys are subject to all those rules. how do you feel about that personally? >> they want to move the masters? the masters is one of the most prestigious places in the world to play golf. they r

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

what about the black business owners in atlanta? these are things that i'm contemplating and meditating on and praying about today. ainsley: those are the people getting crushed in this. when you hear that pastors that this bishop for the ame church is pushing these boycotts because these companies were not vigorous enough. why are these pastors playing politicians. >> the pastors have been confused. i'm a christian evangelist. i have been one for several years now. in the 1960s i was a youth organizer fighting for voters rights and fair housing and all of that and then i became a politician. and politically i was still fighting for the down trodden. today as a christian evangelist, i stay in that lane. get out of their lane, trying to boycott and come against things and then they don't even do what we did in the 1960s and 1970s. most of our meetings were in churches. if you see the protest most of the leaders have preacher robes and bibles and seeking the will of god. not the will of politics i think the preachers have been a littl
