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

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

over half of the population in atlanta is black. the revenue loss from the all-star game going away could total more than $100 million in lost tourism revenue to the area according to one official. but when you're looking at the voting laws, the reason why mlb moved the game out of georgia to colorado, when you compare the two states, colorado has fewer days of early voting than georgia. 15 days to georgia's 17. both states require a valid i.d. to vote by mail and in person. they also both allow no excuse vote by mail. but politicians on the local level in georgia could be having the biggest impact on businesses that are choosing to take a political position on this. georgia house voted to strip delta, one of the outspoken corporations of millions of dollars in tax breaks. the georgia senate still has to weigh in on this before the bill potentially could land on the governor's desk for him to sign offer on. but the bottom line is, there can be consequences on the local level for these corporations. we also, david, did reach out to m

from president biden. >> what about the possibility that baseball to move the all-star game out of atlanta because of the political issue. >> i would strongly support them doing that, that is not right, this is jim crow on steroids what they're doing in georgia. david: our next guest says the message coming from biden and the democrats is not just a lie, now they have corporate america pushing their false narrative for them, the wall street jour want to make a name for yourself in gaming? then make a name for yourself. even if your office, and bank balance are... far from glamorous. that means expensing nothing but pizza. your expenses look good, and your books are set for the month! ...going up against this guy... and pitching your idea 100 times. no, no, no! no. i like it. -he likes it! ...and you definitely love that. intuit quickbooks helps small businesses be more successful with payments, payroll, banking and live bookkeeping. keeping your oysters business growing has you swamped. you need to hire. i need indeed indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlis

atlanta is 52% black, denver is 10% black. colorado requires voter id. how is it possible that these titans of industry didn't even read your new law and just came out and rolled over for the progressive mobs? >> yeah, that's exactly finish they folded like a wet dish rag are to the cancel culture. i mean, it is woke in real life, and americans and georgians should be scared. what are they going to come after next in -- next? what value do you have that they're coming after next? are they going to come after your small business next? because that's who's getting screwed here, maria. it's the small business people that have have profited from the all-star game. and and now moving to colorado, they have a voter idea. president biden's been talking about how bad voter id is. he did the pregame for the ncaa championship the other night that was all held in indiana. that's the birthplace of photo id. that's where the first lawsuit that was upheld that says it's okay to have a voter id. most americans and most georgians support this. this is so hypocritical x.

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

♪ david: a live look at truist park in atlanta. this, of course, is where the atlanta braves play. business around the park were hoping to cash in from this year's all-star game, now they're grappling with huge losses. edward lawrence, how much money are businesses going to lose from this? >> reporter: it's not just the direct impact, it's that money that comes from people coming in and spending here. you know, it's a gut punch, disappointing. those are the terms i've heard from business owners about moving the game over to colorado. this is manuel's tavern, lunchtime here. the owner had planned a bun bunch of activities leading up to this game, but it's not just restaurants. i talked with the owner of atlanta rx, it's a cbd shop, and he says that he's looking at an economic impact. listen. >> according to our analytics, about 10% of our business is from out of town. very touristy area, and we definitely will be affected by the all-star game moving to colorado. >> reporter: are you disappointed? >> yeah, very disappointed. >> reporter: and the cobb county travel ask tourism board s

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

but it's quickly jerking into a embarrassment after moving the all-star game from atlanta to georgia over georgia supposedly voting rights laws the prominent colorado's voting rights law, awfully similar embarrassingly sober if you think the hypocrisy is good then pined to your batting thousand for the mlb is when the corporations have spoken out against the georgia laws which do sinister things like calling for voting id requirements. coca-cola, delta air lines, they are among them. early today senate majority said this whole situation is absurd. >> most type major league baseball is pretty important corporation. if they applied the same standard they apply to georgia, they could not have games in st. louis because missouri has a more restrictive voter law than georgia, then the new georgia law. what about the yankees? new york has a more restrictive voter participation law then they new georgia law. where is it at? so, my warning if you will to corporate america is to stay out of politics. >> gave big dumb dumb son let's go yankees by the staff and present biden responded to questi

on friday the mlb announced its decision to move the game out of atlanta in response to georgia's new voting law which it obviously did not read, a move which could cost the city millions in potential revenue. markets are lower, take a look at futures, indicating a decline at the start of trading after the dow and the s&p 500 hit record highs yesterday. in the first trading session of the holiday, after the holiday, as fiscal stimulus and vaccinations are now flooding the u.s. futures this morning are looking like a downer of a morning, down 34 points, the nasdaq down 28, s&p lower by 7 and-a-half. joining me right now is national securities corporation chief market strategist, art hogan. also joining the conversation all morning long this morning is fox business' jackie deangelis and chief investment officer, nancy tangler. thank you for being here. art, great to have you. let's talk about the first quarter earnings that are about to come out as well as all of the spending. your thoughts on where we are this morning and what will be most important in terms of driving the direction ov

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

he later got a call that mlb was moving the all-star game out of atlanta. today the white house is trying to distance itself from the blowback as more companies join in the boycott of this law but the white house and the president never took back any of the false claims they made about the law. today white house press secretary jen psaki would not say if the president regretted publicly supporting mlb's decision to boycott georgia? >> he would support that decision, that decision was made by major league baseball. just like he would support decisions made by private sector companies. we're not standing here, calling for companies to boycott. reporter: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell saying today when it comes to politics he thinks businesses should mind their own business? >> don't do it. the other coca-cola, the other companies that basically responded to this partisan appeal are doing the same thing. you know republicans drink coca-cola too. and we fly. and we like baseball. if i were running a major corporation i would stay out of politics. report

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

liz: we hear what you're saying, we hear you, president biden advocated for baseball boycott of atlanta, georgia, they are silent about human rights abuses in china in major league baseball expanded in china, all of them silent about was going on inside of china let's listen to jen psaki talk about the boycott idea, let's watch. >> these are the winter olympics next winter so sometime away as it relates to the second part of your question and our hope that we are at a point that enough people across the country have been vaccinated but we will rely on health and medical experts on that particular piece our position on the 2022 olympics has not changed and we are not discussing any boycott with allies and partners, we consult closely with allies and partners at all levels to define our common concern and establish a shared approach but there is no discussion underway of a change in our plan regarding the beijing olympics on the united states point of view. liz: that is a really strong push back, real shutdown of state department official ned price who suggested this, they are saying abso

telling them that he was not going to do that citing the mlb decision to pull the all-star game out of atlanta over the controversial election law he said it's shameful that america's pastime is getting involved in politics. >> thank you grady, great to see you a dozen for us on fox business. "the evening edit" starts right now. liz: president biden'snd p big x incentive plan hitting a wall oe the senate up to seven senate democrats may reject the bidens tax hike that is according to joe manchin. it could be dead on arrival in the senate the president i didn't under without explaining that. if that's so why are they using tax shelters to avoid hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal income payroll taxes as republicans point out with us now ron johnson, congressman tom emmert and buddy carter, jim trusty, art del cueto and we have more on the fighting family long history of using frequent use of off-balance shell companies to bury the cash from dealmakingre overseas. plus hunter bidens big 180 he does not remember if he owned the infamous laptop at the center of multiple probes. but he adm

were as well so now you have joe biden claiming it may be good for the all-star game to move out of atlanta. who does that help? the boycotts help? it doesn't help georgians who plan to work the oven, maybe hospitality industry without they would make up losses, financial offers they had during covid, there's a reason why stacey abrams came out and said the boycotts are harming the people, they say they are trying to help them. i don't understand the game plan other than to say it's a long push for changes on the federal issue, federal legislation, hr one, i think that's what they are ultimately pushing. >> you say relic of jim crow, that's almost welcomed demagoguery compared to what biden said which is worse than jim crow. jim crow on steroids which is historically illiterate. kevin, i understand you probably don't support the law but shouldn't president biden not lie about the law? he was last week in a press conference making statements about what was in the legislation involving what he said was curtailing of voting hours on voting day to target workers and it turned out that was absol

it is going to hurt the people of atlanta who are depending on this, who work hard for this. who are counting on this. they pick up and move it, the game out to rockies, out to coors field out in denver. it makes no sense to me especially when you consider the law, the actual facts. facts matter and in this case, there is nothing that i can see in the law itself that limits, that limits voting in the state of georgia. elizabeth: yeah. you know, major league baseball admitted that they moved the all-star game from georgia because of pressure from president biden criticizing the georgia law. you know, we hear what you're saying. the mayor of denver, colorado, he is cheering this on. he said his region, his area will get 100 million bucks. butch miller of georgia, a top state lawmaker broke down what is happening here. guy, i would like your comments after the sound bite of what butch miller said about this. watch this. >> georgia has a voter i.d. colorado has a voter i.d. georgia's voter i.d. is free. colorado charges $1.67 for their voter i.d. colorado has 15 days of early vot

now that you have joe biden even claiming that it may be good for the all-star game to move out of atlanta, here is the question i have, who does that help? who does the boycotts help with this not help the georgians who plan to work that event, maybe the hospitality industry that they're going to make up some losses financial losses they had during covid, there is a reason even stacy abrams came out and said these boycotts are harming the people they say they're trying to help. i don't understand the game plan other to say this is a long push for changes on a lateral level federal level hr when i think that's with her ultimate pushing for. before you invoke the phrase of old which is worse than jim crow. jim porro on steroids which is historically illiterate. so kevin i want to come to you. i understand you probably do not support the law, but shouldn't president biden not lie about the law? he was last week in a press conference making statements about what was in this legislation involving what he said was curtailing boating hours on voting day to target workers. it turned out that was

will visit jimmy carter, rose lynn carter in atlanta. jonathan serrie in duluth georgia with all of this? reporter: neil, president biden is celebrating the first 100 days in office here in georgia. not only did the peach state help him get into the white house, but georgia gave the president's party a slim majority in the senate with the elections of democrats rafael warnock and john ossoff and that as allowed president biden to pursue a more ambitious agenda especially when it comes to government spending. that includes the american families plan, american jobs plan, american rescue plan, adding up to nearly $6 trillion in government spending. the president planned to celebrate passage of covid relief during the first visit to georgia back in march. neil: all right. we just lost jonathan scary. i apologize for that. you don't really want to know the technical issues we've been having. they're figuring it out. meantime i do want to go to tom bevin, "real clear politics," cofounder there. tom, the president obviously is taking this trip

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

reporter: the commissioner of baseball says moving the game in the dropped out of atlanta demonstrates the values of major league baseball. county travel and tourism bureau estimates moving the game will cost local businesses including minority local businesses more than $100 million and senator chuck schumer said new york should host the all-star game and ironing is new york election loss offer fewer early voting days than georgia does and also no one can pass out food or water valued at more than a dollar in new york and new york ex .-dot fires an excuse for an absentee ballot in georgia does not, just ballot identification card is what you need to buy alcohol or even your covid vaccine. ashley: interesting. thank you. we should point out call the county which is where the game would be held voted for joe biden and now they will lose millions of revenue by not hosting the all-star game and we know major league baseball has come out against georgia's law to show id to vote, that mlb teams still require fans to show photo id to pick up their will call tickets and baseball is not the on

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. "politico" reports that biden health administration some folks in the white house n

steve harrigan in atlanta on all of that. want to go to dr. tom price, former health and human services secretary, congressman and doctor by training. he's the whole package, and he speaks his own mind. he doesn't play politics. i always admire that. doctor, good to have you the -- >> thanks, neil. good to be with you. neil: your take on this latest data and the comments from the cdc director saying those vaccinated can feel safe to travel, others just use some caution, but certainly more promising than her doomful comments a week ago. what do you think? >> no, you're absolutely right. and i think there's wonderful news that's coming from the vaccine side. remember, this is a new disease. it's only been with us for a little over a year, and to consequently the vaccines didn't have the timeline in their trials to be able to determine how long the vaccines would be effective. and it appears they continue to be effective at least six months after their administration which is great news for folks as we move into the summer months. also as your re

"atlanta journal-constitution" poll found nearly 3/4 of voters want additional voter i.d., including 55% of liberals and 2/3 of blacks. we have senator marco rubio saying delta air lines your hypocrisy is stunning because you're still working with china still oppressing muslim uyghurs, numerous people in population. companies like delta air lines, coca-cola. the state of georgia is moving to rescind a tax break for delta air lines, is that true? are you going to do that to other companies. >> that was a movement in the georgia legislature last night and the session has ended so that a moot point. i would ask the ceos, mr. chenault, mr. frazier, ed bastion, mr. quincy look at other states that they're doing business in or where they reside and compare the amount of -- we have 17 days of in-person early voting in georgia. we increased more opportunities on the weekend. we have no excuse absentee voting by mail. some of those states and folks i just mentioned, they're living, doing business in states that you have to have an excuse to vote. so i think if people compare georgia to any ot

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

league baseball all-star game is moving to denver which is 9% black versus half of the population of atlanta. it's black and crushed black-owned businesses. i think that that's where the republicans also can really win in talking about what are they doing for prosperity for all georgians. >> well, i mean, do you think the ceo's actually read the law, dagen? it's quite extraordinary. are they getting rolled over and bullied by the extreme left. dagen: they didn't read the georgia law and they didn't -- they have virtually no knowledge of laws in liberal states like new york that are more restrictive. so maybe they ought to, you know, bone up on that before they weighed in. they are becoming extremely political and so what does this mean? now all of the ceo's are going to have to say, oh, are you in favor of hr1, are you in favor of federalizing election law and taking power away from the states, are you in favor of the proact which has passed the house which gets rid of right to work laws? again this is crushing states' rights and ceo's are going to be required to express their views on feder

screwed in this, martha, it's a small hard-working business people that are up in cobb county at metro atlanta area they're going to be hurt by the all-star game being pulled from here. this is outrageous. people need to stand up and join the fight and say look, we are done with the canceled culture and this pressuring. >> i am just going to boycott everything. president trump is now called for a boycott of the boycott or spring wants everyone to stop watching mld and screw all of those like-minded corporations. we can say screw now. is corporate america aching a mistake by picking a fight with the republican voters? who wins in the end? let's make tonight's party pouts a good way of the gary and shannon show on amp 640 in los angeles it is gary hoffman. i've democrat strategists and rubble communication strategist laura fink and gorgeous and yellow. 2020 libertarian candidate vp candidate the water to lease by cohen back in the octagon. let's go party people. all right, so gary you are a newsman you have been for many years. the one thing i have not heard in terms of these boycotts in this co

didn't mention yesterday that almost all of these mass shootings have in common certainly within in atlanta, colorado, one yesterday in south carolina is the issue of mental health. and that is something where there could be some bipartisan putting some money and some effort into managing, you know, the mental health aspect of this and studying trying to understand it in a way that we can keep guns out of the handle pfer people who are mentally ill. jackie: it's so interesting tom because i've been saying that since sandy hook shooting that we need to get if you want to talk about root causing of things that could be one of the root causes of why there is gun violence in this country yet no president no leader, nobody really ever tries to allocate funds or look at what, and you see it even here in new york city. as there's so many mentally ill people i'm not saying they're walking around with guns they're not but so many on street you say to yourself why are governments not addressing this problem? >> no it is exactly right, and there have been some studies. but the government hasn't fen ga

president barack obama and biden support the boycott of atlanta. senator marco rubio blasting the mlb commissioner. he wants to know if the baseball commissioner will drop his own membership in the exclusive augusta national club and stop the mlb trying to make money in communist china and cuba? they are major human rights violators. on the show tonight, top georgia official bob barr, butch miller. ford o'connell with us too. along with douglas holtz-eakin, fred fleitz, chris bedford and congressman bride an babin from texas. we have more on the fight over baseball's boycott and dozens of companies who opposed georgia's voting law when they require i.d. from workers and customers. more from the white house and media, including cnn's don lemon, they are misleading, quote, gaslighting the public over georgia's new voting law. "60 minutes" now trying to claim a cut for quote clarity. governor ron desantis florida explanation, critics say "60 minutes" deceptively he had at this timed their report that governor desantis favored publix supermarkets, when

this drug cartel's main hub is atlanta, secondary hubs in charlotte and in raleigh. they transport drugs along the interstatements up and down the east -- interstates up and down the east coast corridor. so we've got a major drug problem with these cartels in the u.s. what do you say? >> not only that, we're complicit because they're making over half a billion dollars per month trafficking people, boys, girls, women. and we're not even attempting to stop them. a lot of these children, by the way, are coming through with numbers. we are dealing with a very evil force, and we have a president right now who's not even interested in it, liz. and i want the parents out there, grandparents to realize, what would you do if it was your kid, your grandkids? we sit back and allow this to happen to these beautiful, vulnerable children and women and allow it to happen just because they don't want us to pay attention to it. this is the real deal. don't let the blitz -- the other things we're doing, we'll take care of that in time through the courts, but right now the border is ou
