the leftist celebrating mlb's decision to move the all-star game from atlanta to denver, colorado. should they be? i >> the left is celebrity the will be decision to move the all-star game from atlanta to denver, colorado. should they be? we have a new poll out showing more americans support voter integrity law than oppose it but that doesn't many to many in the democratic party or major league baseball family either. if they had bothered to read the new georgia law it allows more days for early voting than colorado and the kicker, georgia and colorado require ids to vote in person. joining us is senator tom cotten. it goes back to the president, the president's rhetoric, offering this idea to major league baseball they took him up on it. >> good to see you at night for once. this goes back to joe biden's press conference last week as he used inflammatory, incendiary and outright wrong language of the georgia bill calling it jim crow 2.oh. he forgot to check the laws in his own state which has no early voting, fewer drop boxes than does delaware, many said they pulled their all-sta

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

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

we were on this show last week about atlanta. no evidence of hate crime. national democratic playbook. white supremacy, white hatred, this suspect is black. the guy -- >> i said you don't belong here to the woman. he said. >> i'm trying to make a point. outcry last week by democrats related to the suspect being white. white supremacy. this case involves a black suspect. why aren't you focusing on the suspect and where is the democratic outcry? please answer that, please. it's hypocrisy. please. >> number one, i'm not -- >> bill: leo, hang on. >> i'm not a democrat point one. point two, i say with great specificity i identify the perpetrator in all of these crimes. that was a black man. i tell you something else. a good friend of mine known to bill, a woman in television lives a block away from this incident happens to be korean, asian american, wonderful, high functioning beautiful woman, a television star has to walk around with sunglasses because she is afraid somebody will see she is asian and attack her. >> bill: the point is we're talking about none o

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

by the way, outside of the atlanta braves, i didn't hear anyone push back on this. which teams is stacey talking about it? who's players? i want to see receipts. i'm exactly like you, lawrence, i want to see the receipts on this conversation. >> emily: now to another story gaining attention today, a move in new york state to pay billions of taxpayer dollars to undocumented immigrants. progression lawmakers securing a provision in the state's budget that sets up a $2.1 billion "excluded workers" fund and offers up to $1600 one-time payments to undocumented immigrants who lost their jobs . what are your thoughts on this? >> dagen: i would say it's a head-scratcher but it's not because of this is the liberal-controlled new york government. $2.1 billion for undocumented workers -- there is a billion dollars for small businesses. an estimated one-third of small businesses will be gone forever. that is just in new york city. what message does this send? more than $15,000. even if you can't prove you were working, you can still get money. it's the equivalent of $300 a week

jillian: new york city and atlanta where it is a beautiful day. todd, i don't know if that would have been the best shade of dress color for you, but maybe the style. todd: you don't think that green would have accentuated whatever color my eyes are. jillian: good morning, you're watching "fox & friends first" on this monday morning. i'm jillian mele. todd: i'm todd piro. kamala harris speaking out on the border crisis blaming the trump administration once again. jillian: doug luzader joins us live from washington. doug, good morning. >> reporter: jillian and todd, good morning. when you dive into the polling numb burkes it's clear that border security and immigration are real weak points right now for the biden administration. vice president kamala harris plans to meet virtually with the president of mexico next month. she's been tasked with trying to solve the problem. over the weekend, she said she is trying to figure out how to go down to the border but she's blaming covid and other of issues for the delay. she is also blaming the trump admini

atlanta is the modern day black wall street. i don't understand how you help black folks by making sure that they don't get a financial incentive. pete: well said, lawrence jones. one more story for you at the top of this 8:00 hour, 5:00 pacific time, new york city, crime and homelessness speaking in this city as it is in many other democrat-run cities, the smell of weed, walk one or two blocks good luck trying not to be hit by it, it's true but there's a video that came out on tuesday, filmed on tuesday, excuse me but it came out on twitter just yesterday, that shows the type of environment law enforcement are dealing with here in new york city. here is a video of just a random street corner in new york, men harassing nypd officers. watch this. >> what's your badge number? what's your badge number? oh, i like that. i like that fact. that's a gift for you! get out! move! [chanting] will: well that kind of example might be extreme. it reflects an attitude of culture that has been encouraged in places like new york city, fostered

, working in hotels in atlanta. they're the victims of this major league baseball boycott, no one else. >> bill: there were 500,000 people who showed up to vote in georgia who had already requested an absentee ballot. i don't know if you knew that number or not. the secretary of state wrote a piece this week. maligned by republicans and president trump at the time supported by democrats at the time. if you under the old law in georgia were to show up after requesting an absentee ballot you would have to do a signature match which is subjective. does this signature match what's here? the reason why they changed the law and got rid of signature match. they wanted to go to voter i.d. or driver's license to determine what's the number that corresponds to your name so we can nail this down. when you have half a million people showing up to vote who have already requested an absentee ballot in a state that was decided by 11,000 votes, you have to find a way to figure it out. >> logically when that happens there is a risk

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

lawrence: president biden going to bat for major league baseball after it pulled the all-star game from atlanta in the new election law. jillian: jackie ibanez here with the president's message as small business owners break for impact following the decision. >> reporter: a lot of people talking about this, the president admitted the removal her georgia workers but said he respects their decision. >> 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. the best way to deal with it is for georgia and other states to smarten up. jillian: when the president was asked about the golf tournament he said it was up to them. the game will be held at coors field in denver. critics know that colorado has similar election loss to georgia with id requirements and fewer days of early voting. the white house says the two are not the same. >> colorado allows you to register on election day. colorado has vote by mail, 200 people in the state who are eligible, they also allow a range of materials to provide even i

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

it was a huge event for the city of atlanta. it was a big indication that things are getting back to normal. so to have it go away is just, it is very painful. it just reminds us all we're still in this pandemic. we're still in this weird state of business. what it does to me, it is a significant loss of sales and revenue, something that we've been missing for a year. it hurts my employees. it hurts my vendors. there is a lot of pain that will be spread because of this event. it is not just a one day event. it is, for us it is a week of prep and a tremendous loss. a tremendous loss to the city. will: i can't imagine what is has been like to be a small business owner over the past year, to have your business shut down in certain cities to survive riots and now once again on the backs of a political message have your business yanked out from underneath you. brian, we wish you best of luck and we hope you find some prosperous times ahead. >> thank you very much. have a very happy easter. thank you for inviting me. will: you as well

steve harrigan live in atlanta, what is everybody saying, steve? >> a different strategy and mood there at the four-day tournament beginning this morning. major league baseball commissioner pulling the all-star game out of georgia due to what he says were restrictions on the ballot box from georgia's new voting law. a very different scene in a gusto where they decided to stay put and go forward. delete elder, 86-year-old first african-american to play in the masters was an honorary starter this morning. the strategy in agusta seems to be to stay put and build, not to simply walk away. here's the chairman. >> there have been calls for boycotts and other punitive measures. unfortunately, those actions often impose the greatest burdens on the most vulnerable in our society. and in this case, that includes our friends and neighbors here at a gusto who are the very focus of the positive difference we are trying to make. >> to back that up, a club broke ground on a $10 million community center in agusta. john. >> steve harrigan in atlanta, thanks so much

estimated cost to the city of atlanta, $100 million from moving the game from atlanta to denver. andy, i don't know if you see the differences between the complaints about the georgia bill and estimate lates to similarities to the bill in denver. what do you think of the game yanked out of atlanta and given to denver? >> this is going backwards instead of forward. will: what does it do to your business there, andy. >> as darrell said we've going through, we got ourselves through covid running small businesses. everybody, you know, we're looking forward to going up instead of going back down. will: absolutely. and you have of course a restaurant, seafood and po boys, darrell, i assume you had pretty big expectations for that weekend? >> certainly. it is a weekend. it is not, they said the all-star game but it is all-star weekend. well-said. will: darrell, let me ask you this the complaints over the georgia bill, the reason the all-star game was moved from atlanta were designed, at least what they were sold as protections for african-american voters in georgia. you are african-amer

needless to say, the baseball commissioner to yank that from atlanta. we'll take you there when it starts. taking you to the great reopening across the country. a number of companies are already announcing plans to slowly bring their workers back for in-person office employment. martin gross is a partner and attorney at rothchild. mark, very good to have you, by the way. >> good morning. neil: and some are insisting their workers return. i'm wondering where you draw and how do you draw that line? >> so first, good morning, neil. thank you for having me, happy easter weekend to you and your viewers. it's an interesting line to draw. for large companies like google and facebook, they have the resources to make certain that they have a safe workplace, but most businesses are not google or facebook and have to be careful before they go about enacting or implementing requirements for their workers to return to work. neil: so what do you do? they take care of that, how do you make sure that you're balancing some workers who want a mix of, you know, a hybrid w

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

steve harrigan is live from atlanta. hi, steve. >> the pushback against major league baseball's decision to move the all-star game set for july out of the state of georgia is really spiraling. more and more senators jumping on board. as hunter marco rubio from florida an open letter asking how can major league baseball sign a streaming deal with communist china which persecutes the uighur minority in china and yet they can't do business here in the state of georgia. rubio got personal with the mlb commissioner, rob manfred, in his open letter writing "i am under no illusion you intend to resign as a member from augusta national golf club. to do so would require a personal sacrifice as opposed to woke corporate virtue signaling of moving the all-star game from atlanta." agusta here in georgia. not just the mlb coming under fire, its major corporations whose ceos have spoken out against the law, like delta and coke. here's senator mitch mcconnell. >> with regard to what's been done in georgia, there's a big lie underway th

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

i mean atlanta is a great place to play baseball. i don't watch baseball anymore, brian, i refuse to watch it because of this. i don't want no part of it and this was my life. for me to not even want to go baseball game or watch it, it kills me because i don't put up with that kind of crap and i don't condone it. steve: how many people on the republican side now people are going to regard baseball as a blue state sport. brian: yeah. steve: georgia democrat some of them reached out to the white house after are joe biden pushed for the boycott and said that is not a good message for us. they got to the deputy chief of staff jen o'malley dillon and stacey abrams and senator jon ossoff both said hey, white house, we want you to know that while you are pushing that, we are going to say we oppose the boycott because the people we need to vote for us wanted the all-star game to stay there. brian: no one is buying it. steve: it's not going to poll well for us we are not for what joe biden just pushed. ainsley: what are you supposed to believ

on friday the league announced it would move the all-star game out of atlanta. costing the state tens of millions of dollars in revenue including a lot of black business owners in the city of atlanta. which the media is, of course, ecstatic about. >> major league baseball took the necessary step and action. >> the right thing is for major league baseball to protect their brand. for them to back away. >> brian kemp said he'll not bow to pressure from major league baseball or anyone else. for georgians of good faith, of all races, try to purge trumpism from their midst. [laughter] >> nothing but good faith coming from the reverend. and as laura said last week it's time for republicans to draw a line in the sand. >> any business that bows down to boy cutters better be prepared to run into the buzz saw of tens of millions of patriotic americans who will vote as well with their wallets. i'm talking moms and dads who are sick of being lectured to by spoiled brat activists who produce zero that is useful to america. what we're seeing in georgia is just the latest of th

let's get the news from steve harrigan live for us in atlanta this morning. steve. >> harris, more and even sharper criticism from president joe biden about georgia's new election law referring to it once again as a jim crow law. biden saying he would support any corporation's moves to protest that law and however form they deem fit. biden also telling georgia that georgia needs to smarten up. here is the president. >> president biden: they need to deal with this. georgia and other states to smarten up, stop it, stop it. it is not -- >> republican governor brian kemp continues to bristle at charges this is a new jim crow law. he said the state had to do something after the number of absentee voters tripled in the last election. here is governor kemp. >> doing the voter i.d. on absent east will make it more efficient for them. speed up the process and also brings another level of security. so who would be against that? how is that jim crow 2.0? >> former major league baseball commissioner saying baseball's decision to move the all-star game out of georgia was

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

it's not just the all-star game scheduled in atlanta. they pulled it out as a result of the voting law in georgia. are they going to examine the voting laws in every state? colorado is mostly voting by mail. fewer people, really, vote in person right now. the minority makeup of each city is different. atlanta is a majority minority city and denver is a majority white city. are these the considerations that national league -- major league baseball is going to use in deciding in the future. >> if so, they have opened an enormous can of worms here. >> martha: one thing that stands out, people forget this part of the equation. there's more than 50 lawsuits across the country to expand voting in these states because of covid. feels like the phrase is in everything we do. because of covid, we have to mail the absentee ballots out universally. because of covid, we have to expand the window for voting because we're in the middle of a pandemic. now everybody forgotten that and now they act like they're entrenched laws. these are the changes that
