the asian-american community in georgia, following the mass shooting here in atlanta. it was a raw and powerful meeting in a very emotional moment and some criticized me for speaking out nationally about that hate crime. some criticized me for saying how ugly and sinister it was. since then, because of the two senators you sent, among others, the united states senate passed the covid-19 hate crimes act to protect asian americans and pacific islanders from the vicious hate crimes we have seen too often and too long. it passed 94-to-1. don't tell me we can't make progress. it's the first step, and we have a lot more to do. that's right. if we are to truly heal the soul of america, we need to project that sacred right and protect it to vote. in this state of dr. king and john lewis, you know how precious and precarious the right to vote is. in november and again in january, your vote changed the world. instead of celebrating that, it is being attacked. more people voted for president in 2020 than any time in american history ever. and they did it in the middle of a pandem

moving the all-star game out of atlanta. a move supported by president biden. joining me now for reaction along with fox news legal analyst jarrett is outnumber co-host and attorney emily -- thank you for joining us. emily, i'll start with you. you're a sports fan, and i see yothese companies succumbing to this rhetoric that's false information and then making corporate decisions that are, in the case of atlanta, going to harm the people of georgia by pulling out major league baseball and the all-starr game out of atlanta. >> that's exactly right, jason. the people who end up paying for this are those that were employed by the event that they are pulling out. it's those communities that depended on the retail, on the support by's crowds, et cetera. it's exactly what we saw when hollywood decided to boycott georgia and the irony is that there are states with far more draconious election laws. they are laying out their social justice line. what about the 1.5 million corporations and entities that are headquartered in delaware that enjoy the law that is protect th

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

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

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

so we have been talking about atlanta a lot but -- what the atlanta terrorist attack its point is to it's not just but color identity which is what races and also gender identity but there was definitely a come opinion informant misogyny and very often in white nationalism there's antisemitism and along the lines genderrity, sexual orientation, nationality, age, it's. a lot of different components that need to be factored in when we're seeking to understand white nationalism and understanding it as anti -- in order to counter white nationalism as well as addressing inequities within the current security paradigm is going to be necessary as well as helpful to move from just looking at this a problem of skin color to looking at this as an issue of many different types of oppression. so. he if the will help us -- empathy will help us understand and antioppression will help us create policies and together it's hoe hill city is justice so a -- holistic justice, a comprehend hesive form of justice. >> if you have enough questions for star remarks type them in the chat. we have a few really

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

alicia: steve harrigan in atlanta. griff. griff give joining us to react is a georgia state senator who supported the voting rights law and who was just at the press conference with governor kemp senator matt brass, thank you for joining us. tell us what was your takeaway and tell us what you think about what has happened? >> well, griff, thanks. i i think the governor did a great job. it's time for a fight. one of the interesting parts of all this and this is all president biden's fault. the white house and president biden stacey abrams, they continue to spread lies to paint their narrative and they use these catchy phrases like jim crow 2.0 but what's interesting if you actually go back to jim crow 1.0, back then it was democrats, it was corporate america and it was our major league sports that told a group of people that their values didn't matter, that they're not going to have a voice and anybody that supports them is going to get punished and so they may be right in jim crow 2.0 because we are seeing all over again when

, 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

we talk about march 16, 8 people were killed in and around atlanta in six of them women of asian descent. on monday a 65 -year-old latina was brutally attacked in new york and was told she did not belong here by her attacker, nonsense. the men who witnessed the attack stood by and did not intervene or do anything. this is all makes your blood boil and makes your mouth file when you see this and it's infuriating and disgusting and totally unacceptable. unfortunately, it is nothing new. such acts against asian americans and pacific islanders have been increasing and becoming all too common in our country today. one way we can stamp that out is to speak up. on tuesday president biden announced additional actions to respond to anti- asian violence. he is a leader in this area the we are all grateful for and may he respond swiftly and strongly. there is no place in our country for hatred or racism of any kind and it betrays the idea of the foundation of our very country and we, as mayors, have to condemn and must condemn and we will continue to condemn any type of hatred or racist violence in

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

yesterday the mlb announced it will pull the game from atlanta. this comes after georgia passed a controversial voting law last week. this morning, atlanta's mayor keisha lance bottoms said there's still time for the governor to make things right. >> it's not too late for the legislature to go back and reconsider this. they are out of session, but the governor certainly can call a special session, have them reconsider this, make tweaks to it so that it is truly a bill that expands access to the right to vote. i think this is just the first of many dominos that will fall in this state, and we are all going to suffer because of it. >> now, this is not just happening in georgia. in less than five weeks, lawmakers across the u.s. have introduced more than 300 restrictive voting bills in just about every state. joining us now is kavitha davidson, a sports and culture writer for "the atlantic." and also coauthor of "loving sports when they don't love you back: dilemmas of the modern fan." welcome to the program. >> thank you. >> what is your sense of th

isn't their head office in atlanta? >> i'm fairly certain that anyone is now allowed to walk into cnn offices in atlanta. you're allowed to go right to the elevator, press the button right to the penthouse. jeff zuckerburg is up there, the president of cnn and you're allowed to take a meeting. sure, you have to show an i.d. to literally rent a bike, to get on a plane, to buy a beer but somehow it's racist to vote. your segment on cnn and the racist stuff. that's what they have tricked us all into anything, that we all hate each other and we don't. >> greg: yes. >> i hate everybody. you hate everybody. >> none of the people who are upset about this bill actually read it. that would disgust me except i didn't read it either. i don't pretend. >> it will be great for atlanta's economy. to show how much you care about the people of atlanta by running business out of town. they -- people who try to cancel, what do they add except ruining things? not just for the people they cancel, that's why they call it cancel culture, the

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

the lawmaker behind the new executive order mayor of atlanta, keisha lance bottoms. mayor, thank you for being here. what exactly do you want to accomplish with this executive order? the law has already passed. >> well, thank you for having me. and what we want to accomplish is the 1.2 million customers in the metro atlanta area, what this new law means. how they can get the appropriate i.d., the new rules related to absentee ballots. we want our customers to be informed. so ambassador young tells a great story. one day of voting when he first ran for congress and 74% turnout in the african-american community. so even though there may be barriers, we can still overcome those barriers and we want to make sure our customers are informed so they need to know what to do to cast their ballot when the time comes. >> we have heard a lot about no food or water in line, but beyond those headlines what is the most dangerous part of this bill? >> the most dangerous part of this bill, in my opinion, is the dialing back or giving to the state legislature control over the election

i care about what the atlanta braves had to say about this today and the atlanta braves, who are hosting the all-star game said this was not the recommendation to cancel the all-star game and to move it out of town that they're disappointed with the decision, which means that these wokest corporate people at the major league baseball league decided to make this decision which the atlanta braves and i said this yesterday, it hurts local businesses, it hurts the employees of the franchise, it hurts the people who have been wanting to work at these baseball games for a year who have been shut out as a result of restrictions from the pandemic, and it's all based on lies. lies from democrats in georgia and lies from joe biden and lies from the white house press secretary jen psaki. this bill extends early voting to 17 days. okay? this bill requires voter i.d. for mail-in ballots, which replaces signature matching. 08% of the country supports voter i.d. so while they are placating and coddling the wokest left and the twitter feeds that they're afraid of, they are actually against what the majo

atlanta is a great city but also the city in a year that can be -- can help put this country back in order and i think that's one thing that they are trying to do right now is muddy it up and talk about id's when yet the ceo's know good and well that they are doing anything, to get a meeting in their offices, you need an id to do that. maria: exactly. i want to take a short break. when we come back i want to ask you a question on everybody's mind, will you run in upcoming senate race in georgia in 2022. i'm talking with out here, you're more than just a landowner. you're a gardener. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it. maria: i am back with football legend herschel walker, herschel, before we went to the break we were talking about major league baseball moving the all-star game out of atlanta because of a voting rule, voting law in georgia which actually was pretty tame and did not restrict voting at all. did rob manfdred, did mlb read

major league baseball may still be having the game in atlanta. coca-cola could maybe not have come out with the comment they did. this all started because of joe biden making a comment about a law he knew nothing about. mike: david morey, you want to respond? >> disagree. this started when the georgia legislator wrote a law that is really bad with horrendous optics. joe biden is not person opposing this the way the law written now. >> legislation is better than the state of new york as we just heard in the reporter segment. >> i don't know if it is better. >> better than illinois. better than new jersey. there is more of a open period to cast an absentee ballot in georgia than there is in new jersey. democrats typically want to do what they do, have it both ways. if voter turn out is down, if voter turn out is down in georgia it was because voter suppression. if voter turn out is up next year, they were it will be because this law caused more people to go out and vote. typical of democrats. they want to have it both ways. reality this georgia law

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
