you've got keisha bottoms, the mayor of atlanta, who is also saying she's disappointed about it. and it is a lot of money. but again, past the money, you've got to figure this is looking through the political prizm, whether it's for business or politicians but they've got to get the story right, as kat mentioned. it's not us, it's the washington post that pointed out that people are looking at old versions of the bill and not looking at the final version and some of the details which in some cases, not all, but some cases expand voter rights. howie: yeah, media have to be careful jumping on the bandwagon to get the facts right. let me move to the pandemic. the media rhetoric heated up after the cdc chief said she was scared. >> i'm going to lose the script. i'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling i have of impending doom. howie: donald trump's former medical advisors appeared in a documentary and deborah birx described a tense call from the president. >> were you threatened? >> i would say it was a very uncomfortable conversation. he felt very strongly that i misrepresented

major league baseball has now moved the all-star game from atlanta to denver. estimated loss of tourism about $100 million. what are your thoughts on the whole thing? >> i guess governor in them, they shot themselves in the foot so now this is going to be for all the events, but for the super bowl, the nba all-star games, et cetera. they're not going to want to come here. sig. i think it's really unfortunate. >> the city of atlanta. somewhat the state of georgia's fall. he shouldn't blame the braves. he shouldn't blame the the atlantafans. >> in colorado, the voting rights? it's different than here. it's more restricted. >> has been allegations that having to shown ideas racist. what do you think about that? >> i mean, it's appropriate, showing i.d. let you know that you are really you, it's your true identity. i don't have an issue that. >> i think it's awful to sit here and say people of color or minorities can't get an idea or don't have an i.d. why do they think black people, people of color don't have i.d.? why? why did they keep putting passing narrative?

fox five in atlanta the u.s. supreme court rules unanimously for georgia in its long running dispute with florida over water. the court rejected florida's claim georgia uses too much of the water that flows from the atlanta suburbs to the gulf of mexico. justice amy coney barrett wrote for the court saying florida failed to prove its case. fox news 2 in san francisco is one embattled school board member is suing her colleagues for tens of millions of dollars in damages. alison collins says she is the target of a smear campaign to label her a racist. many civic leaders have called on collins to resign over tweets before she was elected suggesting asian-american students and parent benefit from white supremacy and stereotype of being a model minority. she says her words were taken out of context. and this is a live look at new york from our affiliate fox 5, one of the big stories there tonight, legendary singer, song writer paul simon sells his entire song catalog to sony music plusing. financial terms not disclose

, moved it to denver, atlanta is 51% african-american, denver is 9% african-american, explained to me how a racial social justice warrior takes $100 million out of atlanta, hammers the state of georgia to move to a state, colorado, where they have two fewer days of early voting than they do in georgia. this is pure politics and they don't care about the african-american small businesses, the workers in atlanta that they hurt through their political gesture. >> sean: we thank you for being with us. tensions as you can see on the screen remain high and brooklyn center minnesota, and unlawful to assembly now declared. showing no signs of leaving. things have ratcheted up considerably since we came on the air 58 minutes ago. >> they certainly have. now watch the officers advancing here, rose and rose, nonlethal weaponry, you hear the command coming out of a police officer to move back, move back, moved back, they are advancing a little bit, you can hear the officers called out to hold, now compare that, going to swing around here and look to the northwest with us the concentration of peop

and suddenly everybody because zero my gosh, that's going to cost atlanta 90 million -- $100 million that's known as a day late and a dollar short and i think this mania, this compulsion he displayed to cave in to these has got to be pushed back against the good place to start is by boycotting, not watching or attending baseball this year. paul: you think politically of the democrats in georgia have second thoughts here stacey abrams stepped back, former governor candidate who was pushing hard against that bill, she thinks well, i didn't want to boycott. is there a backlash building? >> yes, i think there is. i think one of the things the democrats have going for them up until now is division of the right in georgia among local republicans and i think this will unite georgia republicans so i guess i do think there are some second thoughts. i think both of them, are not sure what they have gotten themselves into here. paul: up for reelection again in 2022. when we come back, you signs of economy boys to take off as the biden administration continues its push trillions of dollars in ne

howie: jessica, by waiting several weeks after mass shootings in boarder and atlanta, even speech on guns got half a day of coverage as most of the press moved on from this difficult issue? jessica: i'm not sure he missed the moment and talked about the systematic issues that are the root cause of this in terms of obviously knowledge in what's going on in the rash of violence against asian americans like in the atlanta shooting, but i don't think that he missed the moment. joe biden has been a long-time friend to the gun reform movement. he's been supportive of organizations like every town and moms demand and when i did see the reaction from those organizations, they were positive. obviously tempered because this wasn't move toward assault weapons ban or federal gun registry. it was encouraging red flag laws, for instance, making sure we do more research, more community policing. but i want to push back on alex a little bit. obviously hunter biden has nothing to do with any of this and the idea that he comes up constantly, i don't understand. the answer for something that joe biden

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 than george let alone china, the communist country that major league baseball still does work with. we have fox team coverage. steve harrigan and atlanta where the backlash against major league baseball's decision is growing. but we begin with white house correspondent peter doocy who asked that question live from the north lawn. >> i had a chance to ask president biden this afternoon who did speak supportively of moving the baseball all-star game out of georgia whether or not all sporting events in that state, now that they got a new voting law are created equal. >> do you think the masters golf tournament should be moved out of georgia? >> i think that's up to the masters. you know, 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. i think that's a very tough decision for a corporation to make

correspondent steve harrigan is in atlanta for us tonight. >> president biden's choice of words to describe georgia's election law is drawing ire from republicans. >> the president has made a very serious accusation. he has said everybody who believes in having an i.d., showing an i.d. before you vote is a racist. >> biden's rhetoric hearkens back to the days of the segregated south. >> these new jim crow laws are just antithetical to who we are. >> south carolina senator lindsey graham says he has heard enough. >> i think it's cheap. i think it's sick for the president of the united states, joe biden, who has been a friend for years to say that what they are doing in georgia is jim crow .0. >> jim crow was a pejorative term for african-americans used to describe laws that disenfranchise and physically segregated blacks in the south until 1965. the three-day baseball all-star event is estimated to bring inasmuch as $100 million leading many small business owners in atlanta disappointed. >> it is going to devastate black owned business, minority business who had a piece of the pie into that

correspondent jonathan serrie has details tonight from atlanta. good evening, jonathan. >> good evening to you, shannon. investigators are still trying to determine a motive. the gunman forced his way into the home of that prominent doctor who lived just outside of rock hill, normally a quiet town in upstate south carolina. 70-year-old dr. robert wesley and his wife barbara and two grandchildren ages 9 and 5 were found dead inside the home. the gunman also shot two air conditioning technicians 38-year-old james lewis was found dead outside the doctor's house. his co-worker called for help and is now hospitalized with severe gunshot wounds. and is fighting hard for his life, according to his cousin. the york county sheriff says it does not appear the gunman took anything from the home but he did leave evidence that led investigators to a immediately identify the suspect as former nfl player philip adams. >> we have no indication right now that there was a doctor-patient relationship between dr. leslie and philip aadams. >> authorities found adams d

why are you taking the all-star game out of atlanta which is going to cause georgia and specifically fulton county, democrats $100 million in revenue?? are you really that spineless? are you really that stupid? because the league apparently has no problem. mlb, they do business in china and we are learning tonight that mlb is bolstering its ties with one of china's largest tech companies. actually cracks down on that executive. by the way, can you pick up will call tickets for a baseball game, sporting event, concert if you don't have a picture i.d.? no, you cannot. senator marco rubio had the strong message for the commissioners saying i am under no illusion that it will sacrifice business revenue on behalf of its elected corporate values. similarly, i am under no illusion that you intend to resign as a member from augustine national yacht club. to do so would require a personal n sacrifice as opposedo the woke corporate virtue signaling of moving the all-star game to atlanta. why is joe biden not being held accountable for his role in starting and fueling the entire fire? peter doo

jonathan serrie, live in atlanta. jonathan, thank you. now capitol hill, intelligence agency chiefs sounding the alarm about threats to the u.s. from china, russia, and iran. they spoke about intelligence challenges at a senate hearing today. congressional correspondent jacqui heinrich shows us tonight from capitol hill. >> from chinese he is mean non-and the origins of covid to iran's nuclear power, russian interference and social media's influence on extremism, intelligence agency heads on capitol hill gave a frank assessment of global threats to the u.s. in the first public hearing of its kind in more than two years. >> the world will face more intense and cascading global challenges ranging from disease climate change to disruptions from new technologies and financial crises. >> china dominated the conversation, fbi director christopher ray saying the threat is so persistent and diverse the fbi opened a new investigation about every 10 hours. and is currently working more than 2,000 probes on economic spying alone. a 100 percent incre

it happened in carroll county just outside atlanta. for a wrap up of police activity in the past few days. in the meantime president biden is meeting with bipartisan lawmakers at the white house in an effort to advance his legislative agenda that includes massive spending and major tax hikes to pay for it. white house correspondent kristin fisher shows us tonight. >> i am prepared to negotiate. >> president biden promising that the former republican lawmakers invited to the oval office are more than just window dressing in a show of bipartisanship. but it is notable that not one of the moderate republicans who try to cut a deal with the president on his first spending bill was in the room. still, the white house press secretary insists that the outreach across the aisle is genuine. >> you don't use the president of the united states if you do not want to authentically hear from the numbers attending about their ideas, about how to move forward this package and a bipartisan manner. >> republicans are frustrated by how much the package c

nba all-star game out of atlanta. it will spread to florida, arizona, texas, whatever is deemed a red state will be deemed never to be hold a major sporting event again. >> harris: biden might not be in the white house if not for minority voters. it will crush those businesses. let's look at the list. other companies and organizations that have criticized the georgia voting law. we aren't saying they're boycotting but criticizing. that's where these things sometimes can start. i say sometimes. we can't tell the future. from what you're saying, atlanta, all of georgia can be hurt by these decisions and i want to point out who did their homework on denver? who did their homework on colorado and compare the voter laws? i.d. required in colorado like georgia? yes. to vote in person. sometimes you have to bring a picture i.d. if it's your first time. in colorado 15 days of early voting. less than the early days of voting and fewer than they have in georgia. 17 to 19 there. >> i don't think many of these companies really st

the murder in atlanta is a 50%. new york city murder of 48%. after defunding efforts in milwaukee, homicides rose a whopping 97%. in seattle, after the lawless summer of love, you know, the chaz chop autonomous spaghetti pot luck zone, 61%. on sunday, multiple people were shot in the city central. our 2-year-old little girl is tonight in critical condition. no widespread national news coverage or outrage on this horrific shooting. the same can be sent to the cost of violence in the city of chicago. murders there are up a whopping 50% in the windy city and they were already high. get your screen. i think we're the only shot ever ever scroll the names of victims for years on this program. obama, biden did nothing. they never lifted a finger to stop the violence in obama's home city, nothing. unfortunately for democrats, the media mob, the only violence they seem to care about is that once that the examples they could use for political gain. they don't want to tell the whole story. for them, nothing else seems to matter. america is in crisis tonig

you should pay attention, in the city of atlanta, my home town, murder is up 58%. new york city, 40%. even defunding efforts in milwaukee, guess what, homicides there went up a whopping 97%. in chicago, murders this year alone are up 33% over last year's record increase. we've been scrolling the names of murder victims, shooting victims in chicago for years. when biden was vice president, obama's hometown, when he was president, we scrolled names you never heard of before. we begged for action. they didn't lift a finger in obama's hometown. can anyone tonight, can you name the latest round of murder victims in chicago? there were 26 people shot this weekend, five dead. a 7 year old little girl was murdered in a mcdonald's drive through. is anybody paying attention? do you know her name tonight? those are important lives, too. what about the 103 policemen so far this year in this country that have died, most of them shot and killed in the line of duty. their lives matter, too. their families' lives matter. make no mistake. when police are vilified, when they are def

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

let's go to steve harrigan live in atlanta with the very latest. steve. >> reporter: arthel, the commissioner of major league baseball said he made this decision after talking to clubs and players both active and retired. he said in the wake of georgia's new election law which he said restricts access to the ballot box. now, there's been a sharp response to that from georgia's republican governor, brian kemp, who says this is another example of cancel culture. >> georgians and all americans should know what this decision means. it means cancel culture and partisan activists are coming for your business, they're coming for your game or event in your hometown, and they're coming to cancel everything from sports to how you make a living. >> reporter: the reactions are coming in from all sides. former president obama tweeting: congratulations to mlb for taking a stand on behalf of voting rights for all citizens. there's no better way for america's pastime to honor the great hank aaron who always led by example. here in georgia, the situation not so sim

, 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

lawrence: the sad thing happening in atlanta. >> appreciate what you are doing. jillian: the murder trial of derek chauvin, the los angeles police department, the ex-cop's actions against george floyd were called exclusive. taking the stand for the prosecution. >> a normal situation where someone using a counterfeit bill, not expecting any type of force. >> to prepare questions, video shows call with floyd before his encounter with police. he allegedly saw floyd use drugs the same day, hall invoked his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination to avoid testifying. spirit airlines tweets and delete supposed after a video shows on onboard confrontation over masks. watch this. >> more than welcome to. jillian: the family find from orlando to new jersey, their 2-year-old to daughter with my wear a mask. the original post referring to adults not wearing masks. they keep the language a bit more generic. take a look at this massive explosion, surveillance video showing the moment the building partially collapsed. is 61-year-old man was rescued from the second flo

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

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

georgia, they come for atlanta. that's where all the businesses are going. the modern day black wall street. so, that's the position that democrats want to go, okay, let's take it. but, the republicans are a problem, also. because although the democrats are factually wrong when it comes to the legislation, the republicans have a problem with the ground game in georgia. and i warned people of this in the past election. i went on air every single day and said there is this surge going on right now with voters and black voters are showing up for the democratic party. so the republicans have to provide alternatives for black america. you have got all these entrepreneurs there that believe in a free market, right? if you really believe in liberty, then go out there and sell it to those people. because, changing this legislation is not going to help you in the next election if they get more people to show up and vote. >> katie: that is a great point, dana, but back to the boycott. you have a number of these big companies

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

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

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

they have done damage to the people of atlanta. it's because their world is confined to things like social media, not the real world that atlantans live in. >> martha: we've seen the impact on football and we've seen the impact on basketball of wokeness and we'll see if there is a boycott of major league baseball as a result of this. dan, thanks very much. good to see you today. coming up, scientists that say forget the w.h.o. we want an independent investigation of how the virus began in wuhan, china. the united states state department former lead investigator believes that the virus likely came from a biological weapons program in china. he's back with more on that in a moment. age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. . >> martha: two dozen scientists and researchers around the globe now want and independent investigation into the origi

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

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

week president biden said he supports moving this year's a major league baseball all-star game out of atlanta in response to the law. joining me now, "wall street journal" columnist kim strassel, editorial board member kyle peterson and dan henninger. so, kyle, you've followed this law from the very beginning. is it voter suppression? >> well, there's a lot in the law, but i would say, no, not really. so something that joe biden keeps saying, he's said it two or three times now, is that they're closing polling places at 5 p.m. just when working people are getting off. that's just not true. the law has some mandatory minimum hours for early voting, 9-5. analysts who have looked at this are saying, essentially, that means places that are shorter than that, that offer less than that right now are going to have to expand, but counties can also offer voting from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. which is plenty for these metropolitan areas. so that's just one example of something that's in the law that is an expansion of voting and is being cast completely the opposite way. paul: well, if i'm not mistaken, this ac

suspect who stomped on an asian woman, i don't hear the outcry of white supremacy being talked about in atlanta. that's a hate crime. they should be prosecuting that man. but you hear crickets from the white house and aoc because his skin color doesn't fit their playbook. i want to make a comment regarding the george floyd case. gregg jarrett is correct. the reason why the prosecutor has to put that witnessok on, te girlfriend is because if they don't the defense is going to and regardless of everything gregg said, which i agree. the medical experts have not opined. it's going to be discussed later on. >> sean: all right. let me go to gregg, get your thoughts on the guy on the commission. cop killer. he is on the commission. killer of his mother, he's walking the streets and going after a 65-year-old lady. >> putting a cop killer on thatl board, it's like putting el chapo in charge of drug policy. it's outrageous. it's an insult to every cop. it's an insult to the family of robert walsh, the dead police officer, executed by this guy at point-blank range. >> sean: leo 2.0 terrell. gregg jarrett,

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

biggest blowback came from major league baseball which announced that it's pulling its all-star game from atlanta in july. here was the reaction from georgia governor brian kemp. >> this is unbelievable, really, unfortunate today obviously that major league baseball has folded up and caved to the canceled culture and a bunch of liberal -- >> chris: doug, a number of red states, were moving to restrict voting laws. will the blowback from major corporations -- we saw coca-cola and delta and major league baseball did in georgia, in texas where there's also a move to restrict, put new restrictions on voting you're seeing pushback from american airlines and dell computers. is that, you think, going to stop the move to reform voting? >> no, it looks like a lot of republicans will double down and if you're brian kemp, you were worried before this week for being primaried because you were in the wrong side of donald trump a couple of times. one to have unintended consequences politically by major league baseball essentially going to the left of stacey abrams has sured up brian kemp from a primary somethi
