remember 2020 and saw what happened in cities like new york and minneapolis and portland and seattle and atlanta and chicago in terms of billions of dollars in damage and the deadliest year by the way for police officers in this country since 1974. some of that due to covid because you can't take a day off during a pandemic and because police were portrayed as being not noble protectors but the bad guys. so, i think greg just said what many people were thinking but not many people on tv were brave enough to say and i understand the pushback also from the rest of the panel that says well, we can't sacrifice individuals because we are afraid of the mob, but, in this case, chauvin absolutely guilty, no question. but you have to wonder down the line if this is now going to be something that we see over and over again when social media and politicians get involved to the point where people feel intimidated, brian. brian: right. when the case is a little bit closer. you know, you look at chauvin and look at that case really after you watched the first nine minutes of that tape you said do we really ne

just a few weeks ago, the leak moved this year's all-star game from atlanta to denver after georgia passed a new voting law. there has been an outcry ever since from many who say that they don't want to make sports and politics and this could hurt baseball. according to polling, major league baseball is quickly losing conservatives. a month ago, 47% of republicans said they had a positive view of baseball. tycho weeks ago, it was down to 12%. a drop of 35%. is the questionnaire really about trying to see how much damage has been done, or really about the fan experience inside the stadium? sandra? >> sandra: you've got to love the polling on the politics of baseball and then baseball pulling on the politics of their attendees. a great story. thank you. next up, the politics of protest. could it swing the midterm election? >> john: it is the politics of everything these days. we will ask chris wallace, his show is marking a very special milestone this weekend. see you. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? thank you! hey, hey, no, no, limu, no limu!

it turns out the big paper in atlanta "the atlanta journal constitution" reported that the law would ban voting after 5:00. the paper's reporters apparently hadn't read the law. they had to append this correction to their piece which effectively was the same as admitting they were repeating talking point without doing any research which is what they were doing. here it is, quote: a previous version of this story said the new law would limit voting hours on election day in georgia polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and if you are in line by 7:00 p.m. you are allowed to cast your ballot. nothing in the new law changes those rules, end quote. that's the truth. finally appended to a lie. now, joe biden got his research on that bill from reporters who did no research. see how that works? today at the white house press briefing one reporter did ask an interesting question why is joe biden on television demands a boycott of an american state while not demandings a boycott of china? after all, the biden administration just declared that china was committing genocide against

to speak top republican title -y likely lost the economy in the atlanta area millions of dollars. >> when they collude to ruin the livelihoods of their opponents, there is a term for that. it is economic terrorism. >> today, black religious leaders representing more than 1,000 georgia churches called fred boycott of home depot for not pushing back on the states voting law. >> i want to see people come to georgia and do business and i'm going to be focused on the business of standing up for voting rights here. >> home depot saying all voting opportunities should support broad voter participation. the republican vote governor says the boycott will hurt hardworking georgians. speak of this is exactly what i want people to -- they are coming for your business, your ball game, your state next. >> many focus was on the georgia election law, but the secretary of state was not invited to testify. calling the hearing a blatantly partisan slideshow. shannon. >> shannon: thank you. another testy exchange in that hearing came after utah senator mike leake said it was actually democrats who enact

imagine a two-hour train ride between atlanta and charlotte going in speeds of 220 miles an hour. 2 1/2 hour trip between chicago and detroit? or faster and more regular trips between los angeles and las vegas. a route that i imagine could be pretty popular on fridays. bill, as you've said, your vision for amtrak calls for a new inner city rail service up to 160 previously unserved communities being connected. think of what it will mean for opportunity if we can connect milwaukee to be green bay to madison? scranton and allentown to new york? indianapolis to louisville? much, much more. it's going to provide jobs and will also accommodate jobs. what this means is that towns and cities that have been in danger of being left out and left behind will be back in the game. means families don't have to sacrifice the cost of living or quality of access to opportunity that sometimes occurs in they live in a big city. we have a huge opportunity here to provide fast safe reliable clean transportation in this country. transit is part of the infrastructure. like the rest of our infrastructure, we

a few weeks ago i was on with you with the atlanta mass shooting, and here we are now again with another mass shooting. i've got to tell you, everything that we have been, we've been able to learn about brandon hole leads me to believe that he did, in fact, suffer from some mental infirmative. last year -- infirmity. last year his mother called, as you said, law enforcement to report him. he was, in fact, put into a mental institution for a period of time and let go. 9 and the big question that we need to answer, america, that we don't have the answer for is how in the hell does a mentally-infirmed person get ahold of a gun and be able to go into, like, a fedex area and shoot and kill eight people. that is the big question. law enforcement are still at this stage trying to find out what was the motive in this one, arthel. arthel: i mean, and even his own mother alerted the police that my son might commit suicide by cop. and then, of course, you know -- i don't want to linger on this part too much, but i don't want to overlook it, that four of the victims were, you know, members of the in

citizens of atlanta. this was projected to bring $190 million to the all star game to the city of atlanta. ushers, concessioners, surrounding businesses they are all sacrificed at the altar of woke politics. pete: all lies with the bill. none of what the bill actually does. stacey abrams runs around saying jim crow 2.0. if you knew what jim crow was you would never make the comparison. it is racist as you pointed out, rachel to insinuate that black people, brown people, white people, anybody can't get an identification when it's free when you need an i.d., delta, to get on your planes or you need an i.d. atlanta braves to pick up your tickets at will call there is nothing racist about it this is a power play and when corporations give, in they are just -- i mean, it's just like a domino effect. they just keep going. rachel: yeah, time for us to maybe boycott the woke corporations. pete: i think so. i mean, a lot of people would have to take a lot of big actions. we were talking about this. i wonder whethe

alicia: steve harrigan in atlanta. griff. griff give joining us to react is a georgia state senator who supported the voting rights law and who was just at the press conference with governor kemp senator matt brass, thank you for joining us. tell us what was your takeaway and tell us what you think about what has happened? >> well, griff, thanks. i i think the governor did a great job. it's time for a fight. one of the interesting parts of all this and this is all president biden's fault. the white house and president biden stacey abrams, they continue to spread lies to paint their narrative and they use these catchy phrases like jim crow 2.0 but what's interesting if you actually go back to jim crow 1.0, back then it was democrats, it was corporate america and it was our major league sports that told a group of people that their values didn't matter, that they're not going to have a voice and anybody that supports them is going to get punished and so they may be right in jim crow 2.0 because we are seeing all over again when

racism, racist used at all in the process of the mlb commissioner manford, pulling the game out of atlanta. he said, how is that even possible? why that word? >> how is the bill even racist? if you look at it with any form of neutrality, you can't spin that, the white house, or the courthouse or anywhere else around this country, it just does not add up. i've been telling a lot of people and i've been on a lot of different networks, not just conservative networks, i've been on predominately african-american-listening radio shows and other things and every question they ask me, i'm telling people the truth. somebody is lying to you here and it is not me. >> harris: one last one, atlanta's mayor is using her executive authority to expand access, we are told, to voting. "the new law's voting restrictions will disproportionately impact linda's residence, including people of color and minority groups. they did not expand access to the right to vote." what do you say to that? >> i read that article this morning and it sounds like they will put some notifications and bills and other things, so i'

the hold out of atlanta last week in protest of the new election laws due to restrictions on voting by mail and id requirements. >> it is unfair to hard-working georgians, small business owners not only here but across the country this great sport, america's pastime is politicized. we have spineless corporations that won't say we are not engaging in that. >> reporter: critics include delta airlines, coca-cola headquartered in atlanta, the new laws are new restrictive, republicans say will backfire. >> we will see how they do when half the country puts coca-cola come equipped using delta. they are all woke but they are doing something that is against the financial interests of every business. they make billions of dollars, hundreds of millions doing business with the communist regime of china guilty of atrocities, genocide. they don't say a word. jillian: the controversy made its way to texas where 40,000 fans packed the stance for the rangers opening game. governor greg abbott refused to throw out the first pitch, it is shameful america's pastime is being influenced by party politics.

but taking money out of the pockets of these people with atlanta hit as hard if not harder with the pandemic as every other american city it is hypocritical it is damaging it does the opposite of what they say it will do, and with lying or dumb, remember that people surrounding these ceos 94 -- a generation that emerged from the woke academy, they want to business school or law school, they went to journalism school. and they are all in there and that is what they are trained in this kind of nuclear war against logic and reason. and the older individuals perhaps are thinking they wouldn't lie to me, they must know when they are talk about they don't, this is a combination of mel -- feeding information to the naive. it is going to damage a number of american corporations. steve: right. i want to explain origins of wokeism. people might think it popped up last summer, no this has been in development, concurred american university starts in 1960s, and has been moving through, a long process. justin. in response to what i said lack week, people say what can we do about it. you see the corporatio
