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

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

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

host: here is the atlanta journal-constitution. when president joe biden arrived in georgia today, he will be commemorating his first 100 days in office. he will also be taking a victory lap in the state that put his expensive legislative agenda within reach. biden is set up to visit former president jimmy carter in his hometown of planes and headline a driving rally in gwinnett county the day after rolling out a sweeping $1.8 trillion plan to expand access to education and bolster family assistance programs that will be partly financed i higher taxes on the wealthiest americans. that is coming up tonight, that driving rally coming up life tonight. you can follow it live on the c-span app. reporter: i want to keep you updated on the news. the associated press about 10 minutes ago, the number of americans applying for unemployment benefits dropped by 13,000 last week to 553,000, the lowest level since the pandemic hit last march, and another sign that the economy is recovering. this also from the associated press. the recovery from

so we decided to meet again down , in atlanta at morehouse college. that is the name, the student non-violent coordinating committee. because we wanted to have coordination with the college campuses, because after february 1, 1960, the north carolina a&t student sitting in, things got fractured. at that meeting, a lot of people miss this. but up until that time, king had been preaching nonviolence but he had never been to jail. he was also preaching disobeying unjust laws but he had never been to jail. and that meeting was all about you have to practice what you , preach. it was right after that meeting that king went to jail for the first time. in fact the following week. ,so, when you look at that, look at where we are now, i suspect or conclude that i need to write a chapter on the more things change, the more they stay the same. the reason i say chapter and not another book, is that i am starting a new book now. i don't know what the title is going to be. i will start out like i did my second book. the first book i did was a tabletop, on the peopl

we decided to meet again down in atlanta at morehouse college. that is the name, the student non-violent coordinating committee. we want to have coordination around the college campuses because after february 1, 1960 on the campus, not on the campus but north carolina amt students having a sit in, things got fractured. a lot of people missed this but up until that time, king had never been to jail. he was also to sue -- she was also pretty -- preaching unjust laws and had never been to jail. the meeting was all about you have to practice what you preach. it was right after that meeting that king went to jail for the first time. it was the following week. when you look at that, look at where we are now, i suspect or conclude that i need to write a chapter on the more things change, the more they stay the same. the reason i say chapter and not another book is that i am starting a new book now. i don't know what the title would be. the first book i did was a tabletop of the people who started [indiscernible] that became brown v. board of education.

host: we will head to atlanta, georgia. -- he will head to atlanta, georgia. it was on the senate floor talking about the various programs and proposal from the biden white house and how to pay for it. republican from south dakota talking about those efforts, particularly what it might do when it comes to taxes. >> they want to heighten the tax rate. putting american businesses at substantial disadvantage next to their foreign competitors. democrats impose president biden's tax height, the combined average top tax rate would be higher than that imposed by everyone of our major trading partners and competitors including china. it's difficult to understand why democrats think it's a good idea to put american companies at a disadvantage next to chinese companies and to reduce companies and japanese companies and french companies and the list -- and british companies and japanese companies and french companies and the list goes on. our economy is trying to recover from a serious hit we took from the coronavirus. the democrats are either incapable of grasping or do

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.

we discovered at that time that we needed to have coordination so we decided to meet again down in atlanta and it was the student nonviolent coordinating committee. we wanted to have coordination on the campuses, because after fairbury first, 1968 on the campus, the citizen, thanks got fractured. a lot of people missed us, but up until that time, king had been teaching nonviolence and had never been to jail. he was also preaching disobeying unjust laws and he had never been to jail. that meeting was all about you have to practice what you preach. it was right after that meeting that king went to jail for the first time. when you look at that and you look at where we are now, i suspect i would conclude that i need to write a chapter on the more things change more they state the same. the reason why isaiah chapter and not another book is because i am starting a new book. i don't know what the title is going to be. i will start out like i did with my second book. the first book was a tabletop on the people who started brown v. board of education. i say in that book that all of my experiences

the drop boxes, when you want to change the votes, there is massive voter suppression in texas, in atlanta. they know they will lose if it stays like this. trump is a sore loser. we have never had this problem except when trump came. he made people doubt democracy all around the world. if you want to have a true democracy, we should abolish lobbyists, united decision in the supreme court. i do not know what to do. many things have to change. if republicans -- a lot people cannot afford voter ids cannot afford to take off from work to wait eight hours to get there idea the dmv. most democratic governments mandate that people go to vote. the republicans know they are going to lose if they don't change this. host: there was an election yesterday in louisiana. the minority leader of louisiana state senate won the race on saturday to serve out the remainder of the term. senator richmond working for the widen -- the biden white house. there will before hundred 31 house voting members, 219 democrats and 212 republicans. there are four vacancies. four open seats. newington, connecticut, thank you

one of them was jay sarno, who at the time was living in atlanta, a hotel developer who had a very good relationship with the teamsters. he came to vegas in 1963 and he hated it. it. he thought it was the most boring place, even though he was a compulsive gambler. they decided they needed something special, and that something was a theme. so he built a place called caesar's palace. if you were lucky enough to be invited to the opening, it had a big beefy century and guy dressed in a revealing costume who would open your door and unfurl escrow -- unfurl a scroll, and caesar who looks a lot like jay, would invite you to a weekend of excitement featuring andy williams in the beautiful dancing maidens. -- and beautiful dancing maidens. what makes it a different is, at caesars, the host of gladiators and maidens are here to serve your every wish and command. this is what made las vegas a different kind of destination. he had the idea of what happens in vegas stays in vegas more than anyone else did. what happens in vegas is special. you don't just go there and have a night out. you go there

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

it's ok to be totally hypocritical and hurt black-owned businesses in atlanta where they are so prevalent and moving the all-star game to a place that is substantially white if it makes you appear woke, even though you're hurting african-american businesses and helping white businesses. it's ok to help the chinese communist party which is trying to destroy america, they are trying to get to a place where the american economy could collapse and china would survive that economically. and if they get to that place, then you will see them taking additional actions at a profoundly -- rather profoundly to bring down our economy. and lead them remaining as the only, at that point, super power. we've got to be wise, more wise than we have been, and we need to call out corporations or entities in the united states that are out to help the enemies of the united states and stir up divisiveness within the united states if they think it creates a profit. we are seeing that with cnn. we are seeing that with major league baseball. it's just a sad time in america. this article from epic times -- from epo
