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

they say that atlanta is a city that is 51% black as opposed to denver just 9% black. and they point out also in 2016 colorado had voting problems of its own having to disqualify 25,000 ballots due to problems with signatures. a number of georgia democrats are caught in a tough position. they oppose the new voting law and think it's restribtive especially for people of color but also oppose moving the all-star game or boycotting any georgia businesses. the chairwoman of cobb county. >> i think there are people on both sides that agree that everyone boycotting each other is not going to be the answer. looking at civic participation and economic vitality, those two things should not have to be polarized. >> the battle right now is here in georgia but it is already expanding to texas. they passed a bill to already limit early voting. so a fight that starts here getting bigger here is going to expand to several more states in the weeks ahead. bill and dana, back to you. >> bill: good stuff in atlanta. we'll bring in tom cotton. there is a ton to cover in this. let you have

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

steve harrigan with the latest from atlanta. hey, steve. >> neil united's statement doesn't mention georgia but says any attempt to limit americans from voting is wrong. we've seen delta and coca-cola ceos weighing in. there's a lot of push back from republicans right now. also, the story as it gets bigger and bigger, we may see it spread soon. texas now facing a similar law. it passed the state senate which would limit early voting hours. the same arguments, republicans say this is about voting integrity. democrats say this is about voter suppression. the big corporations weighing in in texas including american airlines that says we oppose this bill. this bill is wrong. obviously the ceo is not paying men attention to mitch mcconnell. back to you, neil. >> neil: steve harrigan, thanks very much. had it with the furor over the vaccine pass important push? there's an app for that. after this. here's exciting news for veteran homeowners who need cash. refiplus from newday usa. with mortgage rates low and home values high refiplus

. >> what do you think about the possibility that they decide to move the baseball game out of atlanta because of this political issue? >> i think today's professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly. i would strongly support them doing that. >> laura: well, well, well! aside from the fact that joe seemed to be sleeping in that interview, as the angle told you last night these left wing boycotts of the all-star game, frankly, would cause huge economic damage and send jobs to other low tax states. hurt georgia. so the blow back against this is growing which forced even liberal georgia senator john -- to put out a statement last night saying i absolutely oppose and reject any notion of boycotting georgia but then he said, look, corporations that are disgusted like we are with this voter suppression bill should stop any financial support for the georgia republican party, and then stacey abrams, the mastermind behind the fraudulent attack on georgia's voter i.d. law, also has been caught in a trap of her own making. >> to our friends across the country please do not boycott us.

you actually behind the scenes were working to push to get the all-star game out of atlanta? the economic impact particularly on the hills of covid is just astronomical. i think it is shameful what she did behind the scenes and again i think it was in can haouts with major league baseball and some other big organizations who while the legislation was running and was being crafted were just fine with it. it is only afterwards they needed to make it a crisis because they want to be able to pass this national legislation. that's the endgame. >> john: interesting article in the "new york times" today jason. a lot of democrats on the state level in georgia were not happy about the president giving approval to this boycott. >> yeah. the president needed to weigh in but he did. and that's the problem. i think again very concerted effort from the democrats top to bottom. you look at the two senators. they have some influence. you can look at the president. the vice president. you have stacey abrams on the ground. there is a reason why this game actually moved. i don't think major lea

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

major league baseball wants to boycott the whole state of georgia, including atlanta. they're doing it because they don't like a republican law, a law that expands voting, doesn't contract voting. georgia has more early voting than new york has. it's ridiculous. even the facts don't meet what they're trying to do. my point is, yeah, if they want to boycott us, let's boycott them. if coca-cola wants to only operate in democrat states and wants only democrats to drink coca-cola, god love them. see how they do when half the country quits drinking coca-cola and half the country quits using delta. they're all woke but they're doing something against the financial interest of every business. publicly traded businesses don't get involved in politics because it hurts their bottom line. >> martha: exactly. you know, i think we can find ourselves -- i think we're already divided. as i said before, wait until there's red soda and blue soda and red airlines and blue airlines. it's amazing. these publicly-traded companies have a responsibility to shareholders to make most money the
