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

. >> was that atlanta. >> i don't know. i really don't know is the answer. >> real story is not just what those documents showed but also the abuse of power by facebook to censor. >> trap that is it. sanford cardinals national champions. ♪ you don't v. to know now ♪ ainsley: that is a beautiful shot of saint pat thick's cathedral about a block from us close to sak's fifth a&e if you have been shopping in that store, it is so pretty. the scaffolding was taken down. i hope have you all had a great easter weekend with your family? were you all in church? were you able to go? i did virtual church. certify steve divert actual church, too. i watched -- i had the option of watching saint pat's but i watched my own parish, a lot of people actually there. ainsley: i watched the pope. we aired the pope's service at 5:00 a.m. so i woke up pretty early. brian: was it english. ainsley: it was not there was a translator. ainsley: welcome back from texas. brian: you will see in texas they are alarmed at this administration. they seem

let's talk to you about atlanta. the mlb has moved the all-star game from atlanta now to colorado and they are in denver at the coors field stadium and when you look at the difference, and the voting rights, it's actually easier to vote in atlanta or in georgia than it is in colorado. colorado, they only have 15 days of early voting. georgia they have 17. both states, you have to have an id to mail, to vote by mail, and to vote in-person. so there's really, it's actually the voters in georgia have more benefits than the voters in colorado so why are they doing this? >> well i think it's a total disaster for major league baseball. i think they are alienating their fans and here is the problem. you have the political left that will push narratives. you'll have corporate media will further the narratives regardless of facts and now you have major businesses and sports leagues adopting this narratives and taking huge consequential action as a result. what major league baseball is doing will hurt people in atlanta and i'm

what about the black business owners in atlanta? these are things that i'm contemplating and meditating on and praying about today. ainsley: those are the people getting crushed in this. when you hear that pastors that this bishop for the ame church is pushing these boycotts because these companies were not vigorous enough. why are these pastors playing politicians. >> the pastors have been confused. i'm a christian evangelist. i have been one for several years now. in the 1960s i was a youth organizer fighting for voters rights and fair housing and all of that and then i became a politician. and politically i was still fighting for the down trodden. today as a christian evangelist, i stay in that lane. get out of their lane, trying to boycott and come against things and then they don't even do what we did in the 1960s and 1970s. most of our meetings were in churches. if you see the protest most of the leaders have preacher robes and bibles and seeking the will of god. not the will of politics i think the preachers have been a littl

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

right now in atlanta, it is 9. you are going for a high temperature today of about 50 degrees on this holy thursday. ainsley: it is maundy thursday and that word is mundy comes monday maundythursday on this ds washed his disciples feet and he gave them their last command which is to love one another. brian: i was going to say that but i guess you took my line so i have got nothing to say. ainsley, you might as well tell us what's going on. ainsley: good morning to everyone. happy holy week 7:01 on the east coast. disturbing video shows ruthless smugglers dropping toddlers over a border barrier. brian: another facility is opening up to handle the surge of migrant children. steve: mark meredith joins us live from the white house. mark, you know, the white house has said don't come now but apparently nobody is getting the message. >> steve, ainsley and brian, good morning to you phis, they certainly have been talking about ways to fight back against the migrants efforts that we are seeing from the central american cou

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

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

businesses in atlanta than in denver. as much as they are following all of this misinformation and perpetuating all of these lies they're actually hurting the very people they claim to be helping. overall small businesses in atlanta will be hurt. we spoke with minority-owned small business owner who has a limo business. he was very excited about this game coming to atlanta, getting his employees back to work and now he is not only worried about losing this, this event but future events that may not stay in atlanta, may decide to go elsewhere based on misinformation. pete: i'm glad, such knee-jerk nonsense from major league baseball. we talked about the small businesses impacted not to mention the voter integrity laws are more stringent in denver than atlanta. you can't make up the entirety of this story. i wonder if he ever admits his mistake. giving him every opportunity to do so. real quick, elaine, this week will mark joe biden's first 100 days in office. it has been a tough 100 days for small businesses, from covid lo

the atlanta philadelphia phillies and la dodgers back in action playing the colorado rockies. fox sports play-by-play, joe has gotten used to seeing that office so often over the last year. is it good to be back in the game? he is pumped up. >> i have 3-year-old twin boys, i am about to turn 52. glad to be getting out of the house again. i am excited, the dodgers winning the world series and getting over the hump and winning the first one since 1988. in philadelphia and atlanta, it is really tough and that is good. the marlins met the playoffs. people in general are ready to get something going too. steve: the mets and nationals get postponed. never had this much flexibility. your schedule is going to change with very little notice. someone turns positive, they will shutdown james. do you worry about the 162 getting in? >> i think it could happen. the fact that we are talking about that is pretty remarkable, 162, that would be fine but we all learned to be flexible through the entire nfl season, my last taste of work and positive tests come up and games postponed. there is som

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

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

and when you move it out of atlanta, especially atlanta, and you go to colorado, which, you know, we all know the difference there with the voting right and all that, it's just not the same. and it's not fair to the game of baseball when you have one knuckle head who is trying to act like biden, i think, you know, 9 way i see it, they are just trying to change the game and changing the rules and it's not fair. jedediah: david, you know, it seems obvious to me that the leagues would know that if they got increasingly political they were going to marginalize some aspect of their fans, some people were going to be turned of off, and maybe not want to see politics and maybe just enjoy a sport. why do the leagues do it knowing full well that by doing so they are losing some people? >> they are all drinking at the wrong kool-aid, if you ask me. but, to me, it's -- i don't understand. it's a mystery. because why do you want to take away the integrity of the game first and foremost? but, people love the game of baseball. i mean, i loved it growing up since i was 6 years old playing. going to

i'm going to take credit for bump shots in atlanta. brian: why. pete: why are we always showing shots of new york. why are we always looking at the intrepid. it's beautiful but let's look at something else. brian: a lot of proximate causers take great pride not listen talking. it when is he done. one time they take your advice. it's usually whatever will cain wants on the weekend. pete: 100 percent. i have lost my leverage. ainsley: so glad you are here filling in for steve today. pete: my pleasure. ainsley: jiff green constituency joins us live outside of the supreme court as democrats expected to announce their plan to add four more justices. griff, packing the k0ur9. here we go. griff: that's right. here we go, pete, ainsley and brian good morning to you. never mind that commission that study that's been commissioned by the president to add 36 bipartisan members take six month to look at enlarging the court and in forming the court. right now you will have a group of democratic lawmakers led by senators ed markey and the house judiciary committ

brian: president biden will head to atlanta thursday to mark his first 100 days in office but it was not a month ago that he went after the state of georgia over georgia's voting law. >> it is reassuring to see that for profit operations and businesses are speaking up about how these new jim crow laws are antithetical to who we are. >> what you think of the possibility that baseball decides to move their all-star game out of atlanta? >> i would strongly support them doing that. brian: that was then this is now. what do georgians think of the upcoming visit? we will talk to one of them. joey jones joins us from georgia. good morning. what do you make of joe biden coming down to the state that he was so critical of? >> democrats understand this outrage is largely going to the wayside. georgians are nearly divided over a very mild election bill as national democrat figures would have you believe, people like stacy abrams and joe biden betting to extend the future of their party on this outrage. can they divide us so much that they can flip seats, and through their own election bill in c

remember 2020 and saw what happened in cities like new york and minneapolis and portland and seattle and atlanta and chicago in terms of billions of dollars in damage and the deadliest year by the way for police officers in this country since 1974. some of that due to covid because you can't take a day off during a pandemic and because police were portrayed as being not noble protectors but the bad guys. so, i think greg just said what many people were thinking but not many people on tv were brave enough to say and i understand the pushback also from the rest of the panel that says well, we can't sacrifice individuals because we are afraid of the mob, but, in this case, chauvin absolutely guilty, no question. but you have to wonder down the line if this is now going to be something that we see over and over again when social media and politicians get involved to the point where people feel intimidated, brian. brian: right. when the case is a little bit closer. you know, you look at chauvin and look at that case really after you watched the first nine minutes of that tape you said do we really ne

[cheers and applause] that's what they're talking about, private detention centers. they should not exist. and we are working to close all of them. steve: see, that fits in with what we are talking about with

take action, and you take out what you look to be the assailant and then you try to revive the a say atlanta and sadly she loses her life. pete: exactly right, brian. we watched this videotape in slow motion analyzing frame by frame thinking what would i do when the only realistic scenario is to play it full speed, that's what the officer is encountering. after a phone call that says they are trying to stab us, he arrives on the scene presumably she sees there is a police officer there, knows there is a police car there. is still attacking one girl who is then kicked by a man, then she goes over and attempts multiple times to stab. the question for those on social media and social media ignited with instant analysis based on limited knowledge. the question that's being asked and we played it in the open is what would you like the officer to have done instead? do you stand and watch a girl get stabbed as you have been called on the scene? it's not that easy. >> no doubt it's a horrific tragedy. the girl in pink was unarmed and in danger. cops stop her from being stabbed. if you try to kill so
