atlanta is 51% african-american. they moved it to denver, a city that is 9% african-american because they are such woke social justice warriors that they are going to take $100 million out of the pockets of the african-american small businesses and workers in atlanta. it makes no sense. it's dangerous and i do think there is a strong backlash that is building because the american people, when you go to a baseball game, you are not interested in their lecturing you on left wing politics. you would like to see people play a game of baseball. >> ben: the thing that i'm concerned about, senator, we have these handful of institutions that still unite us in american life. and we see them being torn apart by this woke leftism which is taking over all of these different entities that had been unifying elements of american life that we could all go to a baseball game together and cheer alongside each other regardless of race of religion, et cetera. to me, this is something that has to be solved from the bottom up, from the co

. >> 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

it's not just the all-star game scheduled in atlanta. they pulled it out as a result of the voting law in georgia. are they going to examine the voting laws in every state? colorado is mostly voting by mail. fewer people, really, vote in person right now. the minority makeup of each city is different. atlanta is a majority minority city and denver is a majority white city. are these the considerations that national league -- major league baseball is going to use in deciding in the future. >> if so, they have opened an enormous can of worms here. >> martha: one thing that stands out, people forget this part of the equation. there's more than 50 lawsuits across the country to expand voting in these states because of covid. feels like the phrase is in everything we do. because of covid, we have to mail the absentee ballots out universally. because of covid, we have to expand the window for voting because we're in the middle of a pandemic. now everybody forgotten that and now they act like they're entrenched laws. these are the changes that

>> what do you think about the possibility that baseball decides to move their all-star 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. the very people who were victimized the most are the people who are leaders in these various sports. it's just not right. this is jim crow on steroids. >> kevin: breaking tonight, mr. biden throwing his support behind a potential relocation out of atlanta, georgia, of major league baseball's all-star game this summer. other companies that call georgia home are facing increasing pressure from the left to get woke or go broke and one of the peach state's new election integrity law. delta's ceo saying "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 the culture of project 21 horace cooper. tell me, is he on the money with this thing and why are we even hearing from companies like coke and delta on a topic like this

. $1.8 trillion to the american families plan, the pitch to the public on thursday and atlanta. >> that is why i proposed the american jobs plan. a once in a generation investment in america, the biggest jobs plan since world war ii. >> winning congress over, probably spending money but raising taxes, republicans pushing right back. >> in 100 days the biden/harris administration launched an avalanche of liberal policies that threaten to derail the progress that we make for safer, more prosperous, more secure. >> reporter: they are eager to work with the white house. this photo of her speaking with the president by phone. those negotiations on infrastructure continue. south carolina republican senator tim scott is still in the spotlight, he is defending his remarks after critics online accused him of ignoring his heritage. >> there is a coming backlash, and oppression that is becoming front and center and they are not hiding their hands anymore. >> reporter: the ratings are in, 27 million people tuned in to hear from president biden but those numbers are down significantly from donald tr

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

the fallout is growing over major league baseball to move the all-star game out of atlanta in protest over the state new election reform law christina coleman is live in los angeles and with more on that. >> georgia state senator says the league's actions are hypocritical considering mlb is raised in new york a state that has stricter election laws than georgia. >> if you look at major league baseball headquartered in new york, new york has -- they don't have no excuse voting and we have seven more days of early voting then new york does why didn't major league baseball announced the next day that they were openly new york, it does not make sense in the hypocrisy out there is unbelievable. >> mlb commissioner rob manfred said there demonstrating their values by relocating all-star game but just this week the league signed a bill with the communist party tech company in the chinese tech firm dropped nba games back in 2019 after the former houston rockets general manager showed his support for democratic activists protesting against beijing crackdown in hong kong. here is radio host eri

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

but taking money out of the pockets of these people with atlanta hit as hard if not harder with the pandemic as every other american city it is hypocritical it is damaging it does the opposite of what they say it will do, and with lying or dumb, remember that people surrounding these ceos 94 -- a generation that emerged from the woke academy, they want to business school or law school, they went to journalism school. and they are all in there and that is what they are trained in this kind of nuclear war against logic and reason. and the older individuals perhaps are thinking they wouldn't lie to me, they must know when they are talk about they don't, this is a combination of mel -- feeding information to the naive. it is going to damage a number of american corporations. steve: right. i want to explain origins of wokeism. people might think it popped up last summer, no this has been in development, concurred american university starts in 1960s, and has been moving through, a long process. justin. in response to what i said lack week, people say what can we do about it. you see the corporatio

jonathan serrie reporting live from atlanta. >> hi, gillian. phillip suffered many head concussions. an autopsy will examine his brain for signs of cte a degenerative condition tom mondayly found in athletes with a history of repeated head injuries. his father told wcnc, i can say he's a good kid. i think the football messed him up. despite rumors, the sheriff says there's no evidence adams had been a patient of the prominent doctor he's accused of killing. he did live nearby in his parent's home where authorities found the 33-year-old player dead from what they believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. investigators say that he forced entry into the home of the doctor and shot them. two air conditioning technicians were also shot. one died at the scene. the other was seriously injured but managed to call his employer who then called 911. a separate 911 call came in from a neighbor who described what he heard. >> i was cutting grass out in the yard. i heard the shots. >> how many shots did you hear? >> about 20. >> people are leaving flowe

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

it was during that battle where an officer was shot twice and transported to an atlanta hospital. one of the suspects is believed to have been killed and the other is in custody. the georgia bureau of investigation is taking the lead. expecting a statement later today as well as the photo of the suspect who is in police custody, also reaching out to atlanta hospitals to see if there is an update the condition. john? >> thank you. >> sandra: here in new york and officer is fighting for his life after a stabbing. police say the cop was responding to a drunk driver who crashed his car. he reportedly became confrontational and fought back with police. the officer was stabbed in the leg, other officers and a couple of people were able to subdue the driver. >> john: there is more disturbing video, virginia state police say there watching a criminal investigation after video showed two officers drawing their guns and pepper spraying and african-american army officer during a traffic stop. >> get out of the car! get out of the car! obey it. >> get out! >> john: the army officer you see is

cities in your opening shot on your monday morning, of course new york city and now a live look at atlanta. jillian: are you feeling glorious this morning? todd: no. i'm going to be honest. i'm feeling normal. jillian: you're just feeling normal. todd: i'm feeling -- as they say in spanish class. jillian: i'm feeling good. todd: i'm sorry, i broached the six feet. are you feeling glorious? jillian: sure. todd: one of us does. good morning, you're watching "fox & friends first." i'm todd piro. jillian: i'm jillian mele. thank you for starting your day with us. let's begin with this. vice president kamala harris speaking out on the border crisis, blaming the trump administration once again. todd: doug luzader, he's feeling glorious, joining us live from washington. as a new fox poll finds half of us in america finds border security worse under president biden. doug, good morning. >> reporter: the polling number on immigration not so glorious for the biden administration. the point person on immigration is of course vice president kamala harris. she is facing more and more pressure from repub

imagine a two-hour train ride between atlanta and charlotte going in speeds of 220 miles an hour. 2 1/2 hour trip between chicago and detroit? or faster and more regular trips between los angeles and las vegas. a route that i imagine could be pretty popular on fridays. bill, as you've said, your vision for amtrak calls for a new inner city rail service up to 160 previously unserved communities being connected. think of what it will mean for opportunity if we can connect milwaukee to be green bay to madison? scranton and allentown to new york? indianapolis to louisville? much, much more. it's going to provide jobs and will also accommodate jobs. what this means is that towns and cities that have been in danger of being left out and left behind will be back in the game. means families don't have to sacrifice the cost of living or quality of access to opportunity that sometimes occurs in they live in a big city. we have a huge opportunity here to provide fast safe reliable clean transportation in this country. transit is part of the infrastructure. like the rest of our infrastructure, we

former newt gingrich who represented an atlanta area district for two decades say the president and democrats are lying about that law. >> this is a totally rational position which has been deliberately lied about by the democrats because they know it sounds so horrifying and so hostile. but it is explicitly totally not true and tells you about the collapse of honesty in the democratic party that they have to rely on this kind of a false charge to even be in the argument. >> harris: the new georgia law that has triggered national debate adds an identification requirement to absentee ballots, shortens runoffs and limits the secretary of state powers. supporters say it is similar to voting laws in blue states. rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel is with me now. i want to get your reaction to representative clyburn a's remarks. >> newt gingrich is right. the president, joe biden and congressman clyburn are lying. they are lying but more than that, harris, they are using racism to try and push their point and divide our country even further. that is really wrong. i think it's racist for them to say tha

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

but then after headquarters in atlanta, now coke and delta are among those speaking out forcefully against the new law. "the wall street journal" hammering their leaders tonight as woke and weak ceos, referring to george's new law, the journal says the state provides far more days of early voting than new york. it offers no excuse absentee ballots unlike mr. biden's beloved delaware. george's new law puts limits on drop boxes, but as deltas ms. sebastian regrets pointing out, it also makes them part of the permanent voting system. in 2019, those drop boxes were illegal. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night," i'm shannon bream in washington. white house corresponding kevin corke starts us off there tonight with the pressure coming from the president and progressives on these red states. good evening, kevin. >> a lot of pressure indeed. for all this talk as a candidate about being a unity president, it seems at least aspiration has given way to retribution for mr. biden, at least that's how some critics see his treatment of the nation's red, blue, political and policy divide. >> president

i grew up in a inner-city neighborhood in atlanta, georgia. i never had a problem with any police officers. one my brother got back from vietnam, the first thing he wanted to do was become an atlanta police officer and i was very proud of him. that's what we need to get back to, having trust and confidence in not having the media trained on a minor police officers out there putting their lives on the line for us. >> laura: police of all backgrounds, ethnicities and colors and experience trying to do their best. they're not perfect. but my goodness this is just -- it's heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time for minnesota tonight. gentlemen, thank you. more updates on the ground from minnesota as protesters have started to chant f your curfew at the cops. brilliant. what's really behind the announcement that democrats are going to seek to pack the supreme court. an angle later in the hour. a angle later in the hour. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic® help

jonathan serrie live in atlanta, home of the cdc with the story. hi, jonathan. >> hi there. federal health officials are investigating the j&j vaccine after a small number of individuals developed a stroke-like blood clot condition in combination with low levels of blood platelets. of the 6.8 million americans that received the vaccine, only six cases of this rare medical combination have been identified. all in women of child bearing age between 6 and 13 days of getting their shots. the cdc and fda are recommending providers temporarily pause j&j vaccinations while they investigate whether there's a connection. at least 45 states are doing the same. a leading theory is that this particular vaccine may trigger a dangerous reaction in a handful of individuals. >> the person being vaccinated makes an immune response potentially that actually involves their own platelets or other parts of coagulation system. could cause this problem. >> johnson & johnson officials say we've been working closely with medical experts and health authorities and we strongly support the open communi

where joe biden and democrats did best was in the affluent suburbs, the counties around places like atlanta and philadelphia, a lot of voters who went for democrats and they are going to get hit if these tax increases go through for individuals among 400,000 families making $550,000, so if the president keeps saying you're not going to be affected, only rich people will be affected, a lot of those people are democrats. in a sense, joe biden is making a trade among things like child care and community colleges and things like that, he calls it a blue-collar blueprint to build america so he is trying to win back some of those trump voters, blue-collar voters but in the effort to get them, he may be turning off some of the more affluent voters who went democrat in 2020. >> john: then there's also the question of whether or not all of this spending and the taxes that would be needed to offset the spending are actually going to hurt the economy, "forbes" magazine saying "biden's tax plan would be devastating for democrats and the economic recovery, a doubling of the capital gains levy would shri

to speak top republican title -y likely lost the economy in the atlanta area millions of dollars. >> when they collude to ruin the livelihoods of their opponents, there is a term for that. it is economic terrorism. >> today, black religious leaders representing more than 1,000 georgia churches called fred boycott of home depot for not pushing back on the states voting law. >> i want to see people come to georgia and do business and i'm going to be focused on the business of standing up for voting rights here. >> home depot saying all voting opportunities should support broad voter participation. the republican vote governor says the boycott will hurt hardworking georgians. speak of this is exactly what i want people to -- they are coming for your business, your ball game, your state next. >> many focus was on the georgia election law, but the secretary of state was not invited to testify. calling the hearing a blatantly partisan slideshow. shannon. >> shannon: thank you. another testy exchange in that hearing came after utah senator mike leake said it was actually democrats who enact

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

what we saw in atlanta last year from your keisha lance bottoms, things started escalating. she brought out community leaders, pastors, entertainers, wrappers, basketball players, however she could fight to address the audience, try to break down tensions, understand that the government is on your side, defending your constitutional rights and that justice will be served and you are just as american as anyone else in the country. we are not in the situation where we were in the founding of the country where we were 3/5 of a human being. we have the full benefit of the united states constitution behind us. that's what you see in minnesota. you're going to have to see civilian leadership not hiding behind the police have the military but out front speaking to their neighbors, speaking to the people in their communities, the people they go to church with a shop with. talk to them and get them to quell the insurrection. you can separate the people who are they are to peacefully protest from those who are outside agitators who only want to cause trouble. that's how you break up t

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

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

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

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

, 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

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

moving all-star game from atlanta. then the list of states attorneys generals challenging biden's agenda. arizona attorney general mark brnovich is here on his fight on hr1, the border wall and gun control. all here right now on sunday morning futures. ♪ ♪ maria: first up this morning president biden's unprecedented power grab as new lies surface about the infamous laptop purportedly belonging to his embattled son hunter biden. in a series of interviews, hunter rebound the narrative that the laptop can be part of russian disinformation campaign insisting that he's done nothing wrong and claimed that the office of national intelligence reached the same can go, -- conclusion, fortunately the former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe is here once again, once again to set the record straight. good morning to you john ratcliffe, thanks for being with us. john: good morning, maria, great to be with you. maria: it was pretty extraordinary that after you came out and told us the truth about this laptop not be

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

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

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
