everybody does business in atlanta. the mlb is doing a major piece of business in atlanta for july. they were going to have the all-star game. it was a celebration with fans returning to the stadium but the passing of the great african american ball player, probably the greatest, hank aaron that died this year. amid that, the controversy over the georgia voting law. you have people like president biden calling it a new jim crow. stacey abrams also a voting rights activist credited with turning the peach state blue the last election, coming out against this law. lebron james, the basketball star, also a voting rights activist against the law. put that together, the mlb commissioner manfred said that these activists would turn it into a circuit and political debate over this law, take away from what major league baseball is, a game of relief from all the pressures of day-to-day life. here's what we know. stacey abrams and lebron james. stacey abrams herself and lebron james did meet with senior mlb officials to advocate that the league denounced new voting laws and the commissioner be

major league baseball is exploring options to move their all-star baseball game, possibly away from atlanta this summer. all of this got started when a group of black business executives, ken frazier and former american express ken chenault called on leaders to speak out about the voting laws saying the lays will hurt voters of color. now, as you just mentioned, some of the claims, let's review a couple of them making a lot of buzz and set the report straight here. democrats say the law will end voting hours early, but that's not true. the fact is that voting on election day will run from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., which is the same as current polling hours. as for early voting, the new law requires that polls stay open from 9:00 to 5:00 at a minimum. local officials are free to keep them open longer if they want to. the time frame is established a previous vague requirement that said early voting had to happen during normal business hours. there's a claim that water is prohibited. but actually, polling workers are free to set up self-service water stations for voters. yesterday a number of co

major league baseball made the decision to pull the all-star game out of atlanta. in response to those announcements, a lot of democratic politicians in georgia are saying that we disagree with this law. we do not want the economy in georgia to suffer. people like stacey abrams and senator warnock have said they do not support businesses pulling out because they live in georgia and have to say that. but that is not to say that corporate america or outside voices are wrong for making a stand against the law in georgia. ruth bader ginsburg and stephen breyer, it is their job to publicly keep confidence up about the court as an institution. it is the job on us on the outside to have enough common sense to know the court has become irreparably politicized. host: the president has talked about forming a commission to take a look at the issue. we heard speaker pelosi and the senate majority leader saying they will hold off on expanding the court until they hear from the commission. is that a good move? guest: the commission is something that by its very existence is a no

gop is doing is the integrity because they are giving control of the gop to control the election in atlanta. guest: i can speak for myself and everybody i know, i welcome more voter participation, especially within the party starting at the earlier points in the political process. that is something i and many others have encouraged over the years. i think one of the things that was surprising to some folks in the last election is how well donald trump, as rough edged as he is, did with the black and hispanic voters. part of that may be the performance he achieved economically of the list lack and hispanic unemployment ever. we spent more time under 8% unemployment for black americans and his presidency than the rest of my life combined. what i would complain about with respect to the caller's comments is that it just assumes it. she did not give any evidence of it, she is just accusing people of being racist, frankly. that is not consistent with the evidence. let's talk about facts, let's talk about evidence. you're talking to someone who has never had those inclinations . my own hiring and

dave in atlanta, georgia. caller: hey, folks. thanks for having me. a couple things about policing in my opinion. the first thing, we have to stop arguing with defund the police. it is about aggregating the services police provide. police should not be getting tactic down, chasing down dogs and people. we have to disaggregate those services. we have to put more funding and preventative services and capacity building services. we continue to use an old model to try to fix new problems, so we have to disaggregate police and get rid of these warrior policing that are killing 3.3 people per day. police are killing people faster than they are preventing crime. they are reporting crime in a way that isn't uniform, so when public sentiment is against police, police can easily go back and say, these do not look good this year and they use obstruction of justice charges and they use all of these different charges. they are not in a position to oversee them. we have a ton of things we need to think about, but when we think about police lending over the last 40

shame on these businesses moving out of atlanta. they are hurting people in atlanta. it is the democrats fault. thank you very much. host: john says more involved. that's where he comes down in ohio. caller: good morning. i want to respond to the comments that mcconnell made when he used the euphemism in terms of frantic, trying to describe people who have more progressive ideas being emotional. the majority of americans are supporting more gun lot restrictions. we would like to have nationwide insurance. republicans are in the minority, they have decided to oppose these issues. basically, when blacks and others are saying it shouldn't be based on if you are a republican or democrat. we should make our democracy work for all. host: what you think about the role of business? why do you think they should be more involved? caller: they are more responsive. you're dealing with consumers. basically, they are saying we are responsive to our consumers. we are responsive to whether a person is democrat or republican. we should be examples for the rest of the world. we had tha

we want to follow-up up on the mlb pulling the game from atlanta. this was due to the georgia law to change the voting laws. to the point and the mlb decision, your reaction. guest: the washington post of all places fact checked a lot of these and found them to be false. the premise of the georgia law is to expand voting opportunity while increasing identification. i can't walk up and get tickets at will call in any major league stadium without showing my identification. we have to show id almost everywhere. this issue has been pulled -- has been polled so many times in the last years. if i tell you is mostly sunny, someone will call and say it is partly cloudy. this has overwhelming support across the board. this issue was gas lighted. i have to give a toast to stacey abrams in georgia. she baited this so successfully that it went beyond what she thought was capable. her own media listened to her so much now she is complaining that mlb has pull out of your state. i don't know how many times your audience has been to fulton county, georgia but i hav

no mistake, the community of atlanta is who mlb is hurting here. from the democratic side, chuck schumer in the senate. racist voter suppression laws are hurting george's voters in its economy. georgia republicans should be ashamed. we welcome and lobby to come play the all-star game in new york, where we are making to -- are working to make it easier, not harder, to vote. this from senator raphael warnock. it wasn't the people or workers of georgia who crafted that voting law. it was politicians seeking to retain power at the expense of georgians' voices. today's decision is the unfortunate consequence. some of the reaction from capitol hill. hearing your reaction, asking you if it is something major league baseball should have done. john in california. republican. go ahead. caller: could not have done that. i don't know why these corporations -- starbucks, nike, now coke -- have to take it upon themselves to decide politically -- and i have a couple of issues if i have a net. -- a minute. earlier a caller said the conservative movement is just an

and killings, but generally inner city -- you can take chicago, you can take washington, you can take atlanta, you can take l.a. a number of cities. but that's my comment. thank you. host: thank you. we're getting your text messages. host: let's go to cedric from red oak, texas. you're on the air. we'll try one more time for cedric. we'll go to mark who is joining us from felton, california. good evening. caller: good evening. i have mixed emotions. i believe they were probably correct in their verdict. but one thing it's lacking in the whole dialogue of all the cases is the fact that our society is rampant with drugs in so many of these areas. if you look at every one of these cases, drugs are involved. people are psychotic from marijuana, for one thing. and cops don't know when somebody's going to pull a gun on them and shoot them. cops get murdered all the time. in fact, blacks are 10 times more likely than any other ethnic group to murder a cop so cops are nervous as heck. i think we're not paying attention to drugs. dealing drugs or on drugs or resisting arrest because they're psychotic.

you need to decide whether atlanta needs the coca-cola company. there were no cries of cancel culture or left wing ideology. they saw the city on the wrong side of history and acted. two hours after that meeting, every ticket to the dinner was told and nearly 1600 people attended. today the corporate world is taking action. they are condemning restriction voter laws. on friday maine baseball announced they will move the game out of atlanta because of the new voter restrictions. the republican governor was outraged by this the decision blaming liberal cancel culture. but it is not cancel culture to respond to democracy weakening legislation. stopping people from voting, well, that is actually cancel culture. and once again, coca-cola along with other major corporations based in georgia have been called on to do the right thing. and in a historic open letter, 72 black executives called on all corporations, no matter their locations to oppose the voting restrictions. let's make clear why all of this is happening. this is happening because of activist
