in atlanta we still don't know what the motive was for the shooter. he seemed to have a twisted sexual fantasy he would remove temptation if he could remove the women. ashley: yeah. it is interesting, but do you think the public at large buys that narrative, bill? that it is not only covid but it is trump, white supremacy, all part of the same thing? can we give the public more credit to see right through that? >> i give them credit. i think a lot of people are skeptical but you know, you have this whole architecture of this critical race theory coming out to explain everything and they're documenting more and more crimes. i mean one of the problems is there have been attacks on asian-americans for a long time and they basically been ignored. there is an article in 2010 in the mercury news out in california about a spate of attacks, in this case black on asian attacks in that area. it is not new. it is hard, so relentless, you hardly see someone saying let's find out what the facts are. it is meant to override the facts, to leave an impression and it

i'm edward lawrence talking in atlanta talking about georgia law. they want law i makers to listen to one other. some like the law. some doesn't leak the waa. they should allow people all the way up to the polling site door, not 150 feet away. they hope the national attention will push people to change the law. >> people listen to respond, not listen to actually understand. i'm not saying that one side or the other is going to be completely happy with everything that is done but a think a lot more listening can be done. reporter: others agree with the law it actually expands voting by adding 17 days of early voting, including both weekend days. yesterday we were at manuel's tavern that almost went under after 65 years of business during the pandemic. the community rallied to save the tavern. overall the law is not bad but reaction to the law has been disappointing. >> we're manuel's tavern. so much happened in that little tavern between all the different groups that wanted to get stuff done. they all got together, over a beer, made it happen. we're

he's in atlanta and he's talking to voters. what are they telling you? reporter: voters feel slighted by major league baseball and corporations. the conversation has changed on the ground here and one voter i talked with, void for prince said even some of the emergency action that was done in the last election were made permanent by the voting law, but he says it's up to the people of georgia and no one else, not the white house or anyone else, but the people of georgia to sort this out >> should have been more bipartisan as opposed to one side. that always raises problems. but the other side came out with the bill long before was ever ever signed and that site-- that starts a whole other frustrating level. no one is talking to each other anymore. reporter: he's frustrated by the rush to action in the rush to judgment on both sides. in business owner i talked to yesterday heard a lot of things about the bill, but he did what many others have not. >> it was very frustrating to find out it was actually happening and then to do a deep dive, personal dive in

atlanta is majority african american and yet yet major league baseball decides to punish atlanta. it doesn't make sense. they are so inconsistent whatever they do. i agree with you, if you are going to do this, do it to every state, be fair to everybody but they don't want to go that route. this is a gift, political gift to the republican party in georgia. i think brian kemp has done a very good job. he has been very even-handed on this, as has the state legislature. this was not some bill dropped overnight. it was debated over the entire legislative session. they knew about it. everyone was invited to the table. elizabeth: got it. biden and democrats are accused of misleading, bullying and pulling down atlanta with a phony, with the boycott based on a phony racism charge. like the major league baseball and companies and democrats don't know what they're talking about. they didn't even read the georgia voting law. you got president obama calling for baseball and companies to boycott georgia. remember when obama sat next to raul castro in communist cuba to watch a baseball game in

dell computers in texas, and american airlines, and in atlanta, delta and coca-cola. sports business is trillion dollar global scale, trillion dollar domestically ecosystem. they depend on each other, media, corporate sponsors, fans, right now to your point, neil, it is fans that are losing in this ecosystem of imbalance. neil: i'm just wondering whether the fans protest by either not watching on tv or not going to the games, even where there are, you know, limited if any restrictions on crowd capacity such as arlington, texas, where you can fill it to the max and not have any issues? i'm discuss wondering whether it might show up that way? people drop out on the attendance when baseball desperately needs them? >> baseball is absolutely fan attendance driven sport unlike others the does. they don't have the television deals and merchandise, which led to 70% drop in the covid year. baseball is looking at this presumably from a balance sheet standpoint first. within that what are key drivers and indicators, kpis, give u.s. the red flags or green flags in the proverbial

you'd think a company in atlanta would find a black person to place in one of those c suite offices. later in the show we'll be taking a closer look at woke capitalism and what we can do about it, but we're going to start with a look at the covid pandemic. by any measure, the progress we're making is enormous. more than 100 million people in the u.s. have now received the vaccine. the economy is now opening up, indeed, the u.s. is doing better than most major economies in the world. this week, the imf forecasted it would return much faster than most of the g7 countries. yet they seem determined to downplay the progress that's been made. in fact, to listen to them, they actually seem to want to keep us locked down and terrified indefinitely. >> we aren't at the finish line. we still have a lot of work to do. we're still in a life and death race against this virus. the real question is, how much death, disease and misery are we going to see between now and then. now's not the time to celebrate. gerry: the media, of course, is weighing in. the coverage in most of the newspapers these da

i'm in manuel's tavern in the high lands area of atlanta. this tavern was hoping with a big boost during the all-star game. the owner told me it would be the first truly profitable day since the pandemic. in 65 years since the shutdown, he told employees would no longer be able to keep the business going. the community rallied around the business, keeping it alive, offering money and business to this, taking take-out orders. he was truly looking forward to the all-star game as many folks around here. in fact the cobb county tourism travel bureau said they would lose $100 million over the week, by people coming in spending money. 19,000 hotel rooms booked by major league baseball will go unused. all that money left on the table as the game shifts over to colorado. people here on the ground very disappointed in this situation happened. back to you. stuart: i can understand it. edward lawrence, thank you very much. now i want to bring in georgia state senator matt brass who joins us now. matt, you have, i think, over 3,000 delta workers in your

, atlanta is 51% african-american. they moved the game to denver, which is 9% african-american pure explained to me how remotely you are a racial social justice warrior by taking jobs in $100 million from thousands of african-american owned small businesses in atlanta, from thousands of african-american workers in atlanta? this has nothing to do with substance or racial politics and everything to do with corporations enlisting in the democrat vision to transform america. stuart: i have to leave time for this, yesterday you grilled president biden's justice department pick, kristin clark, over her past op-ed calling to defund the police appeared i have time to roll the exchange pure roll the tape, please. >> do you still believe in is a good idea to defund the police? >> thank you, senator, for that question pure i do not support us defending the police. >> do you believe you were wrong last year when you called for defunding the police and investing less in the police? >> it was a poor title chosen by the editor. >> in

other states including denver which is actually more restrictive than -- than what you're seeing in atlanta georgia, gianno. gianno: absolutely. absolutely. i think about over the 200 companies who boycotted around the issue of voter id when 69% of african-americans supported and 60 plus percent of democrats actually supported is beginning to feel like this culture is marginalizing african-americans considering the fact that they wouldn't have possibly been by way of projections $100 million of investments in the atlanta, georgia area. so is woke culture becoming poisonous to individuals who they claim to support? that's my question. maria: yeah. good question. mark. mark: yeah, i mean, this whole -- this whole situation is absolutely crazy. you know, the critics say that the new georgia law is supposed to disadvantage minorities, but isn't it racist to assume that minorities don't have id's to be able to vote in the first place. that's pretty racist to me. that is all crazy. m ll is hypocritical. they are pushing draftkings all of the time. it's unbelievable. maria: yeah, it's certainly di

first to my buddy jonathan serrie in atlanta. this is good news, jonathan, with better and more efficacy rates in general. what do you make of it? reporter: overall this is fantastic news. even the 9% that might come down with some covid-19 symptoms, it appears this vaccine is 100% effective in blocking the most serious symptoms. now another company is facing a setback. the fda investigating one of johnson & johnson's manufacturing partners after improperly mixed ingredients led to spoiling or wasting of some 15 million doses of covid-19 vaccine. j&j said quality control checks at emergent biosolutions plant in baltimore identified a batch of drug substance not up to standards. it never advanced to the filling and finishing stages. in a statement johnson & johnson says, this is an example of the rigorous quality control applied to each batch of drug substance. the issue was identified, addressed with emergence and the food and drug administration.

that's what we saw with so many companies, major league baseball really hurt the city of atlanta and georgia in general by taking that all-star game out. mark. >> yeah, they really did. i mean, i don't understand what mlb did by moving the all-star game from georgia over to colorado where in atlanta 51% black, in denver it's 9% black. so i really don't know what mlb -- maria: that's a great point. >> -- did in that entire situation. it's a complete joke. all of these organizations and companies, they're getting bullied. that's what's happening right now, they're getting bullied and to stand your ground, i find that to be a noble trait. maria: border emergency, texas attorney general ken paxton is here on the migrant surge reaching record levels, the lawsuit behind texas against the biden administration. then, travel optimism comes back, american airlines and what it's doing to prepare for an uptick in travel demand. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. labradoodles, cronuts, skorts.

duluth a suburb northeast of atlanta. the president tomorrow will be in pennsylvania. then on monday he will head to virginia. you're right, brian, we have new details from the white house who would be impacted from the american families plan. part of the reason the president is on the road that is the proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for things like free preschool, community college, cap child care costs for low income families and paid leave program. white house has been all over the place with who will be taxed for the plan. white house official told me for individuals those that make under $452,700. for families it is those that bring in $500,300. those are adjusted income figures. here in washington, up on capitol hill, the messaging for the american families plan is now beginning from both sides of the aisle. watch. >> president biden proposed common sense investments and policies that will provide a pathway to success for working people and for america as a whole. >> instead of empowering families with flexibility, this one would subsidize specific

if you are major league baseball and say you have to move out of atlanta because they're having voter id, what about the other jurisdictions that you're in that have more restrictive laws. what about the fact that you're doing business for the communist party in china and you've done business with the castro regime in cuba. it doesn't make sense, i think corporate america by trying to genuflect to the woken is, i think they've gone down a bad road, they will tie themselves in knots trying to please the extreme left, what i've told people if the left is after you, the minute you buckle, you're just painting a bull's-eye on your back there gonna keep coming back and back and back. if you just and your ground, they will complain for a couple of days and then i'll move on to the next outrage. i think some of the corporate ceos need to grow some backbone and they need to be willing to stand up and not get pushed in to taking these positions. as you indicated, it is not based on facts. they are basically accepting very partisan left-wing narratives in fashioning policy based on that without

some places like atlanta, new york, chicago, huge increases. and many of these jurisdictions, certainly new york and chicago, decided that police -- some police dollars were better spent elsewhere. in atlanta, you had protests and lack of support for policing, you had a lot of officers quit the force, choose to retire. they are now short-handed. that's one of the reasons they're having trouble dealing with this latest crime wave. cheryl: we've had congresswoman nicole malliotakis several times. she said those communities that are suffering with the lack of police are black and brown communities. it shows that the -- go ahead. steve: you took the words right out of my mouth. the victims of all of the mayhem and the looking in the cities have -- looting in the cities, have been the low income residents in these mostly minority communities. there was a recent analysis of what happened to the real estate values in these neighborhoods and most of these are immigrant and minority neighborhoods. they have fallen. in minneapolis, in los angeles, in new
