the city with only 9% black population compared to 51% in atlanta. georgia governor brian kemp joins us now. great to have you here today. seem to be the man of the hour, a busy one. do you believe major league baseball will live to regret that decision? >> i think they will. it's almost comical, all of these that keep falling and moving the all-star game from the cities and at 60% african-american to an metro area that is less than 10%, they have less of early voting days. they have a photo i.d. requirement, for in person voting. it's insane. we compared to where major league baseball is headquartered in new york, and i've talked to that issue at nausea them really about the discrepancies and how they are boycotting and pulling games out of the state like ours. yet they are headquartered in the state that's more restrictive than they are. it doesn't add up. and, there's a couple of provisions in this bill that are, with this i.d. if we can't hand out food or water and if you do it then you can't announce who you are and can't have any labeling. then

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

and suddenly everybody because zero my gosh, that's going to cost atlanta 90 million -- $100 million that's known as a day late and a dollar short and i think this mania, this compulsion he displayed to cave in to these has got to be pushed back against the good place to start is by boycotting, not watching or attending baseball this year. paul: you think politically of the democrats in georgia have second thoughts here stacey abrams stepped back, former governor candidate who was pushing hard against that bill, she thinks well, i didn't want to boycott. is there a backlash building? >> yes, i think there is. i think one of the things the democrats have going for them up until now is division of the right in georgia among local republicans and i think this will unite georgia republicans so i guess i do think there are some second thoughts. i think both of them, are not sure what they have gotten themselves into here. paul: up for reelection again in 2022. when we come back, you signs of economy boys to take off as the biden administration continues its push trillions of dollars in ne

they say that atlanta is a city that is 51% black as opposed to denver just 9% black. and they point out also in 2016 colorado had voting problems of its own having to disqualify 25,000 ballots due to problems with signatures. a number of georgia democrats are caught in a tough position. they oppose the new voting law and think it's restribtive especially for people of color but also oppose moving the all-star game or boycotting any georgia businesses. the chairwoman of cobb county. >> i think there are people on both sides that agree that everyone boycotting each other is not going to be the answer. looking at civic participation and economic vitality, those two things should not have to be polarized. >> the battle right now is here in georgia but it is already expanding to texas. they passed a bill to already limit early voting. so a fight that starts here getting bigger here is going to expand to several more states in the weeks ahead. bill and dana, back to you. >> bill: good stuff in atlanta. we'll bring in tom cotton. there is a ton to cover in this. let you have

, 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

atlanta is nicknamed the city that is easy to hate. there was a white business community and the jim crow era that decided that atlanta was going to go a certain direction. racial harmony and equity was going to be the thing that they prioritized at that time. you have a long tradition and legacy of the business community, the white business community, really saying that this is not who we are. companies like delta and coca-cola have diverse workforces. delta is 46% people of color. to your point earlier about pressure coming internally from some of these businesses, especially when you think about their employees of color who are asking, what's my workplace standing for? what is it about? would they want to not say something about loss that could potentially be harmful to employees? i think that's a very powerful message. very powerful pressure. amy: 30 seconds or so left. we've heard some of the state legislatures threaten to retaliate against some companies, saying they will get rid of tax breaks. one leader said, don't bite the han

major league baseball has now moved the all-star game from atlanta to denver. estimated loss of tourism about $100 million. what are your thoughts on the whole thing? >> i guess governor in them, they shot themselves in the foot so now this is going to be for all the events, but for the super bowl, the nba all-star games, et cetera. they're not going to want to come here. sig. i think it's really unfortunate. >> the city of atlanta. somewhat the state of georgia's fall. he shouldn't blame the braves. he shouldn't blame the the atlantafans. >> in colorado, the voting rights? it's different than here. it's more restricted. >> has been allegations that having to shown ideas racist. what do you think about that? >> i mean, it's appropriate, showing i.d. let you know that you are really you, it's your true identity. i don't have an issue that. >> i think it's awful to sit here and say people of color or minorities can't get an idea or don't have an i.d. why do they think black people, people of color don't have i.d.? why? why did they keep putting passing narrative?

it turns out the big paper in atlanta reported that the law would ban voting after 5:00. the papers reporters haven't read the law, they had to attend this correction to their piece, which effectively was the same as admitting they were repeating talking points without doing research, which is what they were doing. a previous version of the story said the new limited voting hours on election day in georgia, polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. if you're in line by 7:00 p.m., you are allowed to cast your ballot. nothing in the new law changes those rules. that's the truth. he finally appended to a lie. it joe biden got his research on that bill from reporters who did no research. you see how that works? the white house press briefing, one reporter asked an interesting question. why is joe biden on television to mending a boycott of an american state will not demanding a boycott of china? after all, the biden administration declared china was committing against ethnic minorities. his grumpy little slack wasn't happy about that question. because the president
