fox five in atlanta the u.s. supreme court rules unanimously for georgia in its long running dispute with florida over water. the court rejected florida's claim georgia uses too much of the water that flows from the atlanta suburbs to the gulf of mexico. justice amy coney barrett wrote for the court saying florida failed to prove its case. fox news 2 in san francisco is one embattled school board member is suing her colleagues for tens of millions of dollars in damages. alison collins says she is the target of a smear campaign to label her a racist. many civic leaders have called on collins to resign over tweets before she was elected suggesting asian-american students and parent benefit from white supremacy and stereotype of being a model minority. she says her words were taken out of context. and this is a live look at new york from our affiliate fox 5, one of the big stories there tonight, legendary singer, song writer paul simon sells his entire song catalog to sony music plusing. financial terms not disclose

>> bret: steve harrigan in atlanta. steve, thanks. let's talk about the biden spending plans, his immigration policy, other issues. former senior adviser to president trump steven miller joins us. good evening. >> good evening to you. thank you. >> bret: i wanted to ask you, start with the infrastructure plan, which we're calling spending plan because there is a lot more in there as we know, these plans are being laid out. but either on the infrastructure, as you are looking at, if they get passed, billions and billions of dollars going to states and cities for projects. there is another element to this that you dealt with in the processing of getting projects through. >> i would like to demystify this issue for the american people tonight if i could. one debate that's raging in washington right now which is why only a quarter the bill on infrastructure as we would conventionally define it and only 10% on roads and bridges? that's an important debate and it should be had. but, let's talk about the money that actually goes to infrastru

those are his words, wrong a if el low atlanta-based u.p.s. saying it's actively engaged with political leaders on both sides of the aisle to advocate for more equitable access for voting and it stands ready to help every georgia voter get the ability to vote. but it's perhaps the statement from atlanta-based delta ceo ed bastion that struck na nerve in that memo to employees, he was saying that bill was not only unacceptable, but it doesn't match the values of delta air lines. adding that he is glad to deal with any wave of corporate criticism that comes and is ready to engage. so a lot of eyes on that >>> speaking of delta air lines, guys, it's signaling that things may be getting a little bit more back to normal in the wake of the covid pandemic starting on may 1st, the airline will resume bookings for those middle seats on all the flights. it is one of the last airlines to keep the middle seat open to keep more social distance on its flights. and by the way, you'll see meals and snacks being served in the coming weeks and months on certain

mlb announcing the game is moving from atlanta to denver due to georgia passing the new voter access law. republicans responded with the announcement for the extended line that has been a central hallmark of modern conservative politics. >> do you believe major league baseball will live to regret this decision? >> yeah. i think they will. the people here and all over the country have figured it out. they are outraged and sick and tired of the cancel culture. >> that is brian kemp who was pushing the lie that georgia's voter suppression law is designed to make it easier to vote and everyone is trying to cancel georgia i guess. the republican party as we said is radicalizing against democracy. they lost an election that had the highest turn out in recent memory and now they set themselves to make it harder to vote in the hopes, possibly misguided, that it will then help them win. this is not happening in a back room. we watched it. we watched them prop gate the big lie that the election was rigged leading to the violent insurrection that killed a police officer. now republicans are usi

today the mlb announced it's moving the all star game from atlanta. where do you stand on this? do you welcome that move? >> listen, our actions have consequence. we've said for months now that voter suppression is bad for business. we said it directly to corporations and what you're seeing now is american voters who are voting with their dollars, that we've not seen a retraction, a retrenchment, we've seen republican legislatures across the country double down, that there are -- there's been a 43% increase in the number of anti-voting bills in legislatures across the country. i maintain that this is one of, if not the central organizing issue for the gop in this moment. the white lash that we are living through, that we are experiencing as a result of elevated voter participation has been severe, and it's been widespread, and that's why we're suing, and that's why we're calling on congress to pass hr 1 and hr 4 because fighting this piecemeal state by state by state is inefficient -- >> exactly. >> -- and we don't have time. there are municipal elections that are coming up this

jon ossoff saying, please don't take this game out of atlanta. we can do better keeping it here, drawing attention to it here. you had ralph warnock saying the same thing. does it seem inconsistent to you who this guy -- as marco rubio also said, he does business with communist china, he does business with cuba, he's -- he apparently didn't even read this bill before making this decision. doesn't it seem hypocritical of him to keep that membership at augusta but yank the all-star game out of atlanta when it's going to hurt middle class and working class georgians? >> joe, i think the key here is the separation between the financial interests and the culture war. so i think that when we're talking about the big corporations that have come into the spotlight because of the georgia voting bill, it's very easy to zero in on the mlb, the big corporations, the delta, the coca-cola. in terms of augusta, i'm going to agree with michael steele here. i do think that marco rubio can better frame it as a personal decision. this is not a corporation, this is

major league baseball moving the all-star game out of atlanta in protest. the republican governor calling it a cancel culture move. and there are some surprising reactions to boycotts from leading georgia democrats. abc's steve osunsami is in atlanta. >> reporter: it's a strong message tonight from major league baseball to republican lawmakers who just passed and signed new voting restrictions in georgia. baseball commissioner robert manfred jr. is siding with a good number of black americans and business leaders who believe that the new rules are voter suppression, saying, "i have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year's all-star game and mlb draft." >> major league baseball just caved to the pressure. >> reporter: this week the president came out encouraging this. >> i would strongly support them doing that. people look to them, they're leaders. >> reporter: but this is money and business we're talking about, and even many georgia democrats who fought the new rules are not happy with baseball's decisions.

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

i don't care if that's detroit, atlanta, chicago, jacksonville, anywhere in between. not only if you're not black, but a black person that's sympathetic and empathetic to the community. i introduced the world to tommy no norman. you dealt with his community. you got a chance to see him marry a black woman, see him be a person who was sympathetic and empathetic to the people he's policing. no way an officer of the state who is brown should be harassing and spraying in the eyes pepper spray of another brown person. so, that brown person shouldn't be a police officer. i need him replaced with a brown person that understands and will walk and talk that other brown person through in the same way i've seen a 61-year-old white man hit a policeman with a hammer, drive off with a cop in the car and get taken in without being shot. the state is empowering people who look like me and don't look like me to be less empathetic, more sympathetic and more brutal. this must end. if you cannot empathize with the community you're in, you should not be policing that community. >> just go

major league baseball announced friday that it will be pulling this year's all-star game from atlanta as a handful of companies weigh whether to take actions of their own. of course, gop lawmakers in the state are punishing those companies for exercising their freedom to value black and brown consumers. just a short time ago, georgia governor brian kemp said he will not bow to pressure from major league baseball or anyone else. but georgians of good faith of all races tried to purge trumpism from their midst. president biden is counting proposals to reclaim republican hearts and minds, unveiling his $2 trillion infrastructure package this week amid immediate pushback from republicans who take issue with these tax hikes on corporations to improve conditions for america's poor and working class. later in the show, i'll talk to the point person for the president's plan, newly appointed and confirmed housing and urban development secretary marcia fudge. but first, georgia is on the nation's mind. and joining me now is democratic georgia state representative park cannon, who was arrested f

the atlanta journal constitution described a scene that showed how personal things had gotten. quote, moments after gaveling the legislative session to an end early thursday, house speaker stood before a bank of tv cameras and admitted something that many lifelong georgians would never say publicly. he purposely cracked open a pepsi. it won't be a surprise if either company doesn't have a seat at the table when it comes to policy decisions going forward. i mean, currently the two most famous companies in georgia, does the hypocrisy of these snowflake brigade know no bounds. they lecture us for being too thin skins, on the need for free speech, so why this ridiculously hostile response to the delta ceo's freedom of speech? they're probably not going to be happy that other corporate leaders are also exercising their right to free speak, like tim cook who said today american history is the story of expanding the right to vote to all citizens and black people in particular have had to march, struggle, and even give their lives for more than a century to defend that right. gosh, i w

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

the people that are hurt are the working class people of atlanta, georgia. and that's why major league baseball moved too quickly. they should have listened to stacey abrams. they have have invited stacey abrams in. they should have invited raph warknock in. instead of being swept away by some social media mob. if they talked to stacey abrams, be in a lot better position than they are, willie. >> yeah. let's be clear, this is not a defense of the law in georgia. mika is absolutely right. the entire law is based on a lie that we need to tighten up our elections, elections that court after court after court after election security official and federal election official said was the most secure in the history of our country. so it's a lie that we needed to make our elections tighter and more efficient. the truth is, though, that this is hurting eugene scott. a lot of people as say see abrams said wish we could focus on the legislation and not pull the game out of a town that really needed this money, needed this injection of support for people around atlanta wh

jobs in georgia, coca-cola has 9,000 jobs in georgia, 4,000 of which -- or 5,000, actually, are in the atlanta metropolitan area. so when it comes to boycotting those entities, you're talking about people's jobs. but at the same time, when you talk about withdrawing major league baseball and the all-star game from georgia, that sends a very powerful message to the supporters of the people who voted on the laws that brian kemp signed. so i'm hopeful. >> that's the point, it started with these laws. ray, picking up on the congressman's point, for those calling to boycott, there is some concern that these boycotts might actually hurt some of the same people that democrats want to help in georgia. for those who think boycotting is not the best move, then what should be done to protest this, if we can't boycott? do we have to choose between jobs and our right to vote? is there another way? because i clearly think boycotting is appropriating. >> listen, we got here by all means necessary, reverend al. and if we look at what's taking place across the country, according to the brennan center, 47 state

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

this is an industrial site, not a commercial area like we got with the recent atlanta shootings or a place with a lot of consumers that we got with the boulder shooting. this is a place where you wouldn't really see the traffic that you see in those places. so one would expect this is a employee or former employee that triggered it. you know, three times in two weeks i'm here with these mass shootings. and each of them you can sort of parse the different motivations. so i would be curious what kind of gun was used in an age when we certainly know the ability to kill lots of people or harm lots of people quickly is made easier by the amount of guns that we have here uniquely in america. >> certainly. so let me ask you, chief, the texas department of public safety does say a dps trooper was shot while pursuing a suspect. and they had to pursue the suspect into a neighboring county. this was a pursuit. what does this tell you? >> erin, as a person who has responded to these kinds of situations, you are always thinking the worst, who, what, when, where, and why. and certainly what kind o

it's a promise he made, and in the wake of back-to-back mass shootings in boulder and the atlanta area, what is he going to do? >> the white house isn't really are revealing the extent of what we're going to see tomorrow, but we do know we are expecting executive orders to come from president biden on guns tomorrow. the white house has only said we'll hear more from him on this. this is something that's imminent, the white house has been talking about ever since the shootings in georgia and in colorado. so, the question really is not just whether or not he's going to actually put an executive order forward, but how permanent can it be. the fear there and threat there is they can be undone by the next president and a different party should they so chose. that's going to be the scope we're looking at here. how far do these executive orders go, what do they do when it comes to strengthening background checks, things of that nature we know president biden has been interested in, and does he still try to pursue that legislative route he said is important to him but not as important as infra

and then over the weekend, or friday, major league baseball pulling out the all-star game from atlanta. my question is: how does this kind of pressure sit with political leaders? does it -- can it be affective in getting them to change a law? >> amy: you know, judy, this is really fascinating. it has been a fascinating development that has been going on for the last 10 or 15 years, and it doesn't really start with the georgia law. were you saw it, from example, in places like north north carolina with the bathroom bill, and gun laws, and this is especially true in the southeast, and metro regions like atlanta and dallas and houston, have become much more democratic, and in some cases, deep blue. this is where these companies are head quartered, and many of the employees come from the blue areas and live in the blue areas, and the expectations are the companies they work for reflect the values that they share. and that's, i think, a big reason why we're seeing so many of these companies in states where the company has an incredible influence, but where that influence is really relegated

first, react to the news of mlb not coming to atlanta. >> he is frozen. all right. what a shame. then i'll just have to waste a little time until we get him back. i may as well tell you what i think about this. what i find -- put up the ed bastian, jeff, if you could put up the full screen we had from the delta chief executive. here is what the delta chief executive says. that strikes me as accurate, insofar as, i think the brennan center, i'm doing this from memory, have said there are like 24 different states that are cracking down on widespread election fraud based on the presidential race. there was no documentation of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. so i've said in the past, is this all a solution in search of a problem? having said that, when i scrutinize the georgia law and brake it down by its component parts, i do think that the demonization of it is being inflated. and, you know, the sound bite, you saw that i just had to go through the reading of the law, what it used to be and what it is now. it's complicated stuff to wade through and it's fa

he again assailed major league baseball for moving its all-star game out of atlanta in protest to the law, a move he said was, quote, irritating one hell of a lot of republican fans. he also made a reference to delta airlines and coca-cola, both headquartered in atlanta, both which have opposed the law. >> republicans buy stock and fly on planes and drink coca-cola, too. so what i'm saying here is i think this is quite stupid to jump in the middle of a highly controversial issue particularly when they have their facts wrong. >> keeping them honest, mcconnell hasn't always felt that way. back in 2012 in a speech to the american enterprise institute, he said that all corporations, quote shore, be free to express themselves on the issues of the day. again, quoting i mean who is afraid here? let's all have a conversation he said about the future of the country. meanwhile, the former president has weighed in, as well, in a statement over the weekend he called for a boycott of delta and coke among others but in a phone interview with a conservative cable news network newsmax, he directed so

in the same week that the george floyd situation is going on, it reminds me of what happened in atlanta, where a black man got shot barely jogging through a wendy's parking lot. shot in the back and killed. and you just sit here wondering, what is wrong with these people? what do they not understand? how do we drive these bad cops out of police forces before this happens? because it's the good cops whose reputations get sullied by these bad cops. >> joe, i think things in my mind are changing so much because in that case, you mentioned, in atlanta, the local da charged an officer with murder. you didn't see that before. and you're seeing this national conversation of race and politician from the george floyd case and you see the serious charges about -- against derek chauvin. and the prosecution put on a really strong case and it's executive order national attention. i think moving forward, you need to have some legislation involving the mandatory use of body cameras. can you imagine where we would be without body camera footage today? also, i think you should have legislation about the

steve osunsami leading us off tonight with late news from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: a cdc advisory panel tonight says it needs more time and information to respond to the new concerns about the johnson & johnson vaccine. which means for now, americans should continue holding off using this brand of the covid vaccine. >> we do not have to arrive at a vote today or a recommendation today. if we need more time to think about this, we can reconvene later this week or this weekend. >> reporter: a very small number of women who suffered blood clots after getting the shot caused health officials to put a hold on using the drug. health officials here worry that this potential adverse reaction looks a little too similar to what happened in europe with the astrazeneca vaccine. the astrazeneca vaccine is made using similar technology as the johnson & johnson, and in europe 19 people died. >> there are some rather strong similarities about this with regard to the time frame following vaccination. particularly importantly, the clinical syndrome of these clots together with low platelets. so the

suspect who stomped on an asian woman, i don't hear the outcry of white supremacy and talked about in atlanta. that's a hate crime. they should be prosecuting his t man. but you hear crickets from the white house and aoc because his skin color doesn't fit their playbook. i want to make a comment regarding the george floyd case. gregg jarrett is correct. the reason why the prosecutor has to put that witness on, the girlfriend is because if they don't the defense is going to and regardless of everything gregg said, which i agree. the medical experts have not opined. it's going to be discussed later on. >> sean: all right. let me go to gregg, get your thoughts on the guy on the commission. cop killer. he is on the commission. killer of his mother, he's walking the streets and going after a 65-year-old lady. >> putting a cop killer on that board, it's like putting el chapo in charge of drug policy. it's outrageous. it's an insult to every cop. it's an insult to the family of robert walsh, the dead police officer, executed by this guy at point-blank range. >> sean: leo 2.0 to rail. gregg jarrett,

i mean pick the city, buffalo, new york city, denver, colorado, portland, oregon, atlanta, georgia, wherever, they look like they're going to war. they have shields, big equipment, and they do that because they want to let people protesting know who is in charge, who holds the authority, who will bend the knee who whom. that's the point. explicitly, it's a psychological performance. that's what we saw in the streets of minneapolis and brooklyn center, show of force with curfews, tear gas and flash bangs. take all the footage before last summer, since and now. take all that and look for a moment at utter inversion of what happened on the steps of the capitol in january. there was hardly any police presence at all. i mean there were officers there, right? covered multiple protests in washington and tends to be a lot of cops around when people are protesting particularly on the mall and capitol. but january 6th, almost no one there. don't have the big wraps and huge bits of equipment, little stanchions in front of them look like bike racks. but not just fortifying, but notable in the interactio

mayor bottoms, mayor of atlanta. there are people outside the state saying we're not comfortable going in there, so major league all-star game responded not because the values were offended so much so, but players themselves said we don't want to go to a place where we feel unwelcome or a where our voice can't be heard and can't vote. we'll see how hollywood responds because that's an interesting split that we see right now and they don't want to take jobs from front line workers and the jobs will be there, just a different state will get those jobs. >> all right. let me thank both of you for being with us. jerry sonnenfeld and michael walden. my thanks to both of you. up next, my final thoughts. stay with us. ext, my final thous stay with us , it's more treatab. i'm cologuard. i'm noninvasive and detect altered dna in your stool to find 92% of colon cancers even in early stages. tell me more. it's for people 45 plus at average risk for colon cancer, not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask y

i am from atlanta and once upon a time, we were up 28-3 in new england patriots so the world saw how that ended. being black american is like being a falcon fan. the outcome is not what you think is going to be. >> the defense began its case today by playing body cam footage from what we have all seen, right? floyd's arrests in may 2018, a year before his death. floyd told her he had been taken multiple pills every 20 minutes and he took one right before officers walked up the car. they're playing the drug use. what's your reaction of the defense today? >> it is character assassination and it happens every single time in a case like this. everybody who seen this case from the people who were there that day to the other cops in the minneapolis police department and all the paramedics responded. everybody sees this and they know derek chauvin is guilty. only thing they have is characterization. >> the jury was attentive today. she said floyd was happy and normal when she saw him inside the cup foods store and he suddenly fell asleep when they got into his car. let me play part of the e

but first, abc's steve osunsami leads us off from the cdc in atlanta. >> reporter: it's the covid vaccine that promises good protection with a single dose. an important tool for public health officials around the world. but tonight, the fda is telling everyone to hold off using the johnson & johnson vaccine. a very small number of women have come down with an extremely rare blood clot after getting the shot. >> this is a really rare event. if you look at what we know so far, there have been six out of the 6.85 million doses, which is less than one in a million. >> reporter: all six women were between 18 and 48 years old. they got sick about 6 to 13 days after getting vaccinated. the clots formed in veins of the sinus and prevented blood from draining out of the brain. one woman died, another in critical condition. there's no evidence showing the vaccine caused the condition, and to be super clear, your chances of getting struck by lightning are nearly twice as high -- one in half a million. but the fda is warning anyone who got the johnson & johnson vaccine in the last three weeks to be o

atlanta's democratic mayor telling cnn she understands baseball's decision, but she worries about the economic backlash from the law. >> it is going to impact millions of georgians' employment, small businesses, our corporations. and it's very unfortunate. >> reporter: the league's move could be seen as a warning to other states considering changes to their voting laws, like texas. american airlines and dell already opposing proposed bills there. here in georgia, governor kemp digging in. >> i will not be backing down from this fight. >> reporter: and whit, cobb county travel and tourism officials tell me they estimate the economic loss from the all-star game's relocation could top more than $100 million. whit? >> elwyn lopez, thank you. >>> we move onto the murder trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin, set to resume on monday after a week of gripping testimony. eyewitnesses reliving the moments leading up to the death of george floyd. so, what's next as the prosecution builds its case? abc's reena roy from minneapolis. >> reporter: tonight, jurors gearing up for an

if i think about the hospitality industry, i was talking with three restaurant owners here in atlanta just last week who are struggling to find workers as business is coming back online. and we had a lot of conversations about how important it is to train managers. the owners of restaurants, large hospitality companies, no matter how noble the ceo, they are not in those units every day. they're not hiring, they're not coaching, they're not addressing or promoting. so putting the effort on training frontline managers who can do a phenomenal job of attracting, retaining and developing women from within, that is a secret sauce to some of these policies having an impact on the frontline level. >> alex carder, i'm going to go to you but you can take a question to deens, it might be the same one. what is your advice to women right now in terms of approaching getting back in, but they still have a home that is literally defending upon them with kids, the potential positive work remote, the issues of starting all over again when they were completely displaced, which is traumatic? >> you know,
