, 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

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

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

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

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

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

despite major league baseball pulling the all-star game from atlanta and two hours east in augusta, the only major championship to be played the same place every year. the first full week of april and they welcomed the lee elder, the first black man to play. he joined jack nicklaus and gary player on the first tee. and addressed critics about the handling of the voting law. >> 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 in augusta who are the very focus of the positive difference we are trying to make. >> and here is georgia's governor a short time ago. >> we're in -- former mlb commissioner vince sent writing in the wall street journal, the only people hurt will be the atlanta stadium workers and venues. and charles payne says it will be out of the pockets of business workers and hank aaron was supposed to be honored there in atlanta and now he'll be honored in colorado. neil: and certainly major league b

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

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

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 sacrifice as opposed to 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 dooc

. >> think about the possibility of baseball moving their all-star game out of atlanta? >> today's professional athletes are acting responsibly. i would strongly support them doing that. the very people who are victimized the most are the people who are the leaders in these various sports and it is not right. this is jim crow on steroids. kevin: mister biden throwing his support behind potential relocation out of atlanta, georgia of major-league baseball's all-star game this are. other big companies facing increasing pressure from the left tonight to get woke and go broken break from any guys of support for the peach state's new election integrity law. delta's ceo saying, quote, i need to make it crystal clear that the final bill is unacceptable and does not match delta's values. let's get reaction from the author of the upcoming book woke inc. and cochair project 21 boris cooper. tell me. is the money with this thing and why are we hearing companies like coke and delta on a topic like this? >> a couple things. we are watching, the numbers are in, the nba, major league b

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

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 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

. >> nobody is backing down over the atlanta strike out by major baseball. because you have to have an i.d. to fly. you have to have an i.d. for everything. so why not to vote? >> getting it for the new stadium kind of sucks. >> my concern they are trying to put jim crow tactics in. so the good old boys, they are still here appear they don't want that. >> these new jim crow laws are antithetical to who we are. >> the commissioner has a fiduciary responsibility to major league baseball. his job is to do the very best he can. and he has failed that. >> shannon: you think this is just about baseball? think again, america's reason to divide itself is about to go in extra innings as republicans face off against the rich and powerful. >> republicans, we fly, and we like baseball. if i were running a major corporation, i would stay out of politics. >> conservatives are going to have to get smart doing things we actually don't like to do and that is organizing similar boycotts. >> dome xp when tensions are flying high over masks. amidst another heart-wrenching disco

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

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
