what's your view of mlb pulling the all-star game from atlanta? >> i think that is the kind of thing to expect to see when you actually create legislation that restricts or reduces the potential for people to vote opposed to expanding. this -- you know, the governor said, also, there were no issues with the election on january 5th or in november when the presidential election took place. but all of a sudden we have to put restrictions in place that limit the ability for people to vote and then you may even say if people happen to give individuals water for standing in line for long periods of time that that's illegal. there's something draconian and seriously wrong with what we are seeing. >> yeah. i think there's a lot that agree with that and including two black executives who called on companies to directly oppose the new georgia laws and some americans like american airlines, dell, delta, coca-cola put out statements for the first time i might add. do you think that public pressure played a role here. how much does it help after the law has pa

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

i mean pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, colorado, portland, oregon, atlanta, georgia, wherever, they look like they're going to war. they have shields, 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 knee who whom. that's the point. explicitly, it's a psychological performance. that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, show of force with curfews, tear gas and flash bangs. take all the footage before last summer, since and now. take all that and look for a moment at utter inversion of what happened on the steps of the capitol in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean there were officers there, right? covered multiple protests in washington and tends to be a lot of cops around when people are protesting particularly on the mall and capitol. but january 6th, almost no one there. don't have the big wraps and huge bits of equipment, little stanchions in front of them look like bike racks. but not just fortifying, but notable in the interactio

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
