and as you just noted with governor brian kemp's cancel culture. that's been perhaps the most reoccurring theme from republican this year. something we saw a lot fomenting at cpac, and now, perhaps, one of the only viable responses to some of the voting restrictions that we're seeing play out in, you know, dozens of states around the country right now. but, look, this is a law that governor brian kemp actually signed behind closed doors with no cameras there to show what he was doing. it is already shown that it is deeply unpopular. dozens of companies are having a hard time remaining neutral when it comes to -- refraining from commenting on these laws that we're seeing and these restrictions shrinking, early absentee voting, requiring voter i.d.s. so i think republicans are struggling other than to explain this posture of cancel culture. >> jackie, i guess as we talk about that as a potential initial the midterms. i'm thinking about the other news we have this morning that people are getting vaccinated at a pretty solid clip. here, the country is

it's racist and their part. >> brian kemp, republican of georgia. thank you for being on the program. i want to get your thought and reaction on this right now. >> first of all, thanks for having me back. labeling the committee here jim crow is outrageous quite honestly. and then for the president and the democratic senators to tie the election bill to that is even more just unbelievable. they need to quit lying to the people of our state and the people of the united states. focus on your own state like new jersey and new york that have more restrictive laws than we do. leave georgia alone. our bill makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat. we've been giving free voter i.d. since the mid-2000s. >> harris: i want to bring in some ranking members, chuck grassley who said this about the economic impact. let's watch together. >> there is an organized campaign starting to make business to the people of georgia for their political choices. when partisans and companies collude to ruin the livelihoods of their opponents. there is a term for that, it's econom

brian kemp knew people were unhappy about this. brian kemp knew that this was going to be a problem. and contextually, remember, this is the same guy who got into a fight with delta three years ago, about abortion laws. about guns. they seem to want to keep picking fights with the largest employers in the state. as far as major league baseball goes, look, if they thought it was a bad idea to go to the state because of the politics around it, that's perfectly fine. we've seen that in north carolina. we saw that about gay marriage, ncaa in illinois. we saw that with major league baseball in arizona several years ago with immigration law. what these governors have to recognize is that playing politics with human annoys and offends sports leagues. that's the consequence that they're facing. this is not an argument about some simple partisan issue. this is a fundamental element of democracy. the national leagues decided they will be good citizens. the braves are dumb for criticizing this decision. they should have been quiet. this is be

brian kemp actually commented on this. actually, we have a clip. so let's play it. >> this is unbelievable, i mean, unfortunate today, obviously that major league baseball has folded up and caved to the cancel culture and a bunch of liberal lies quite honestly and what's even more sad is the president of the united states, joe biden, and people like stacey abrams labeling the election integrity act, jim crow. this is what happens. you know, now you have a lot of small business owners, a lot of great baseball fans, including myself or getting deprived of having the all-star game in atlanta because of the cancel culture. i think it's a message to all of us all across this country that at home tonight, they are coming after you next. they are going to come after your ballgame. they are going to boycott your business. will: by the way brian kemp the governor of georgia will be on "fox & friends" 8:00 a.m. eastern time. rachel, i think you are probably right to some extent that it has to do with corporate elite bubble that many of them find themselves i

this comes just a week after georgia's republican governor brian kemp signed a sweeping elections bill that adds new voter id requirements, severely limits mail ballot drop boxes and rejects ballots cast in the wrong precinct. one provision would even make it a crime to hand out food or water to voters waiting in line at polling places. governor kemp signed the bill behind closed doors. he was surrounded by six white men. democratic state representative park cannon who is african-american knocked on cam store saying that the public deserve to witness what was ppening. he was then arrested by several georgia state troopers, dragged through the capital and pushed into a patrol car, even as she shouted she was an elected official. >> i am -- >> why are you arresting her? why are you arresting her? why are you arresting her? i'm asking you. why are you arresting her? please. >> civil rights groups blasted the georgia as the worst voter suppression legislation since the jim crow era and georgia . meanwhile a number of major corporations are finally weighing in against the crackdown on votin

. >> a new law signed by georgia's governor brian kemp imposes a series of new restrictions on elections in the state. >> let's remind folks about what the law does. it shrinks the window for sending absentee ballots, severely limits the number of ballot dropboxes and gives more control to state lawmakers who are majority republican. it also makes it a crime to give water or food to people waiting in line to vote. >> president biden slammed the republican-backed law as sick. >> what i'm worried about is how un-american this initiative is. this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. >> trevor: you tell 'em. then explain it because i have no idea what you're talking about. is he saying eagles are worse than crows? are we all supposed to share his personal bird rankings? this is the most joe biden ever. he's trying to make a point about america's history of racist voter restrictions and, instead, he's got us arguing about birds. look, man, i agree eagles should go but you can't disrespect the crow. you show me another bird that can use tools to obtain food! after losing in november, georgia re

and governor brian kemp remains defiant, vowing not to back down. >> i want to be clear. i will not be backing down from this fight. major-league baseball, coca-cola, and delta, may be scared of stacey abrams, joe biden, and the left, but i am not. >> so does this corporate backlash, including major league baseball pulling their all-star game out of atlanta serve as a warning to other states right now that are considering their own, restrictive voting bills? we are joined now by greg to discuss, he is a political reporter for the atlanta journal constitution. and eric mitchell, sports analyst and president of life foot media. greg, we will start with you. and you write the georgia house speaker recently admitted what no georgian would ever conceive of. he cracked open a pepsi. you also write georgia house republicans voted to strip delta of its tax break. of course, that later stalled in the senate. but is it enough to cause them to backtrack, or maybe scare others from speaking out? >> that's the goal for -- for these republican supporters of this law is to send, kind of

gaat, brian kemp just a few moments ago. he was calling out these companies, major corporations, which are critical of georgia's new voting law. i believe you're calling this kind of politicization progressive fascism. that is strong stuff. you want to make your case, congressman? >> yeah. i think that is the right term to use in this case. some people call it cancel culture. cancel culture is a tool, but it's a tool of the facial independents. what is fascism? fascism regimentation of the economy, of society. suppression of the opposition and it often he will have its race above the individual as well. so what does that sound like to you? it sounds like these woke progressives in every respect. you see antifa roaming the streets calling themselves anti-fascist while they act as facial its. what is happening now the progressives have been able to conscript the institutions in their camp and make them do their buildings bidding for them, whether corporations and get them to spread the lies and propaganda for them. anybody who

you're monitoring this but in general what are you hearing about what brian kemp is saying? >> reporter: we just heard kemp give remarks minutes ago and not different than what he's been saying since mlb decided to move this all-star game out of atlanta. they haven't decided a new location but comes in a backlash after the georgia republicans and governor brian kerp there signed into law in the last week an extremely restrictive voting measure that really does tamp down on access to the ballot, to the voting booth and will have very detrimental impacts for folks to cast the ballot in the future and right now we have seen big companies like delta, like coca-cola now mlb speaking out and saying that they don't support this law that has just been passed and what we have seen from republicans in the aftermath is attacking mlb, these corporations saying that they have been corrupted by stacey abrams and joe biden and the radical left, the term that's tossed around that we have heard from republicans a lot later is cancel culture. they feel like they're being canceled, the views a

georgia governor brian kemp joins us now. we've been talking about this bill, governor. yesterday they were making it crystal clear the myths about this bill are not true and i have to ask how did your office let this spiral so out of control that this misperception has been allowed to persist? >> well, dana, thanks for having me on and i hope you won't blame our office for playing into the narrative that the mainstream media is doing because a lot of political activists, one of them my former opponent. when the president of the united states says something you know a lot of people pay attention. but what joe biden needs to do is look at the side-by-side of georgia and delaware. trying to get major league baseball to pull the game out of georgia, which is ridiculous. if you look at these comparisons, the state of delaware has no in-person early voting. we have 17 days. in georgia you don't have to have an excuse to get an absentee ballot by mail. in delaware you do. we have drop boxes, delaware does not. if you want to get a bottle of water while you are standing in line

. >> that's brian kemp, pushing the lie that georgia's law is to make it easier to vote and anybody who says otherwise is trying to cancel georgia, i guess. republican party as we said is radicalizing against democracy, lost an election with highest turnout in recent memories and set themselves to doing everything to make it harder to vote, in the hopes, possibly misguided, it will help them win. this isn't happening in back room. we've all watched it, watched them propagate the toxic big lie that the election was rigged, leading to violent insurrection that killed a police officer. that was built on decades of lies from the right about prevalence of voter fraud. now republicans in state after state are using that to change the rules of voting. they'll feeling the backlash because the power grab is so transparent. caught in the act attempting trumpian gas lighting but they know what they're doing and we do too. the georgia bill not determining outcomes, guaranteeing that republicans will win or turnout will go down, there's all sorts of dynamics involved, but it is true that state is ru

georgia governor brian kemp defended the law again today. let's watch. >> make no mistake, there were issues that happened on the election, like they do in every election. this year obviously there was more of a spotlight than ever. i think one of the reasons was the pandemic and it changed a lot of things. we had a brand new system in georgia. we had things like drop boxes that we'd never used, at least in recent memory. therefore, there were mechanical issues that needed to be fixed. there were reasons to try to figure out a better way, a more accessible way and a more secure way for us to hold elections. there's nothing wrong with that. we shouldn't apologize for wanting to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat. >> so basically he's saying that, look, part of passing this bill was also building confidence among voters that the election is secure. what do you say to what we just heard from governor kemp? >> that's an extension of the big lie, which is that donald trump won the presidency, and that is a lie. trying to make people think tha

kemp. brian: she has not acknowledged it. truly appreciate it, like the fact that you are at the tip of the spear with these controversial topics. just days ago president biden offered his full throated support for the mlb boycott of the georgia all-star game but the poll numbers are out and he changed his tune. >> the pastors golf ornaments be moved out of georgia? >> that is up to the masters. 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. brian: jim crow laws, he knows better but is peddling the same defamatory smear the georgia is resurrecting jim crow is shameful. joining us is newt gingrich, former house speaker, fox news contributor, the guy knows georgia, your reaction to president biden's reversal and calling this jim crow dating back to 1870. how could he equate this? >> because he lies, not complicated. i got so incensed. i've done two podcasts laying out this whole story. st

we're waiting for the governor of georgia and brian kemp to speak more about major league baseball's decision to move the all-star game from atlanta in response to the new voting law. the decision is reverberating across the sports world, and the political spectrum. cnn's natasha chen is at the georgia state capitol for us. natasha, what are we expecting to hear from the governor? >> yes, fred, we're expecting the governor any moment here to step behind the podium. you see a lot of people behind the podium on those steps, including some state legislators hereby to support him. i want to mention i did get a statement within the last hour or so from cobb county travel and tourism talking about the 100-plus million dollars they coul

that's brian kemp. he's standing by. we'll be with him in just a minute. his state stands to lose $100 million now that the mlb yanked the all-star game out of atlanta. rand paul joins us as well. he wants to know how coke and delta and microsoft can get around uighur concentration camps in china. they do big business there every year but want to cancel a voter law in passed in georgia by the house and the senate but duly elected representatives in the state of georgia. later today, an arizona school is proposing an equity plan as an essential part of the elementary school curriculum for all the little kids in their school system. that's facing a wrath of some parents and they're standing up to classroom craziness. >> i'm hispanic. never once have they come home and said that they felt victimized or discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity. >> martha: that's the voice of a mom of five children in that district. she joins us exclusively this hour. we begin in georgia with governor brian kemp. great to have you here. first all, i want to ask

georgia governor brian kemp correcting the record after major companies like delta and coca cola denounced the law facing calls for boycotts over voter suppression. microsoft also joined in, despite noting that some recent criticisms of georgia's legislation have proven inaccurate. >> i mean, i have done over 20 interviews in the last 24, 36 hours, pushing the truth out. we are not going to back down. >> other criticisms are based in fact. the law empowers the republican legislature to suspend and replace election officials, prompting concerns about conflicts of interest. another provision makes handing out water and food to voter in line or very close to polling places a crime, punishable by up to a year in jail and $1,000 fine. the text does not specifically target political groups aiming to influence voters as some have claimed. the law also shortens the time to request absentee ballots and the time before runoff elections. it scraps signature matching on absentee ballots for voter i.d. and while drop boxes are now permanent, it limits their use. >> georgia governor brian kemp accused p

it's a secure, accessible, fairway to do it >> that was georgia governor brian kemp defending the state's new voting law amid pushback from powerful corporations those georgia businesses are speaking out against the restrictive voting measures. coca-cola ceo james quincy called the legislation, quote, wrong, unacceptable, and a step backward delta airlines ceo ed bastian wrote in a memo to employees, the entire rationale for this bill was based on a lie, that there was widespread voter fraud in georgia in the 2020 elections. this is simply not true. unfortunately that excuse is being used in states across the nation that are attempting to pass similar legislation to restrict voting rights the statements come as activists threaten to boycott atlanta-based companies saying they didn't do enough to stop the law from being passed. as we just played governor kemp is pushing back saying republicans had worked with delta when crafting the bill, and at no point did the airliner raise objections with his office about some of the controversial provisions in a move seen as retaliation, the republica

republican governor brian kemp calling the decision an attack on his state, saying the league caved to fear, political opportunism and liberal lies he said it's part of cancel culture. he adds, georgia will not be bullied. a reminder, this law gives voters less time to request absentee ballots, it adds new strict i.d. requirements, it limits ballot box dropboxes and it makes it illegal to offer food or water to people voting in line. kevin blackstone now, "the washington post" sports columnist, professional journalism at the university of maryland kevin, thank you major league baseball making a big statement here were you surprised they took it? >> no, i wasn't surprise shep, if we just look at recent history, we can look at your state, your university ole miss, which last january they were told by the ncaa and other states like them that they would no longer be able to host ncaa events as long as the confederate banner was flying. by september, after 126 years in mississippi, that banner came down and now mississippi is back in the fold to host the ncaa events and baseball can look to

today georgia's republican governor brian kemp told fox news it's ridiculous that president biden is in his word focused on pulling the game out of georgia a reminder, the new law adds i.d. requirements to absentee voting, limits ballot drop boxes and makes it illegal to offer food or water to voters in line. nbc's blayne alexander on that part of the story. >> what we saw today from a group of religious leaders is essentially a countdown to a boycott. they're targeting three very large georgia-based companies. they're looking at coca-cola, delta airlines and the home depot, and essentially they're giving them until next week to fulfill a very specific list of demands. here's what they want to see from these businesses. one, they want to see them publicly oppose georgia's newly minted voting law, and they also want to see them -- the other thing is they want to see them oppose similar legislation that's making its way through other states right now that critics say would restrict the right to vote in those states as well, and they also want to see those businesses put a lot of vocal

"the washington post" fact-checkers gave joe biden four pinocchio's and georgia governor brian kemp biden to take a look at his own state. >> if you look at these comparisons, the state of delaware has no in person early voting. we have 17 days, you don't have to have an excuse to have an absentee ballot by mail. in delaware, you do. we have drop boxes, delaware does not. >> there are some factual complaints. one new provision allows the republican legislature to spend election officials like brad raffensperger who didn't comply with former president trump's request to find votes that would have reversed his loss but also shortens the time between the election and the runoff and eliminate three weeks of early voting for the runoffs that was previously required. critics say giving voters less time to register and request a ballot and vote before runoff time. >> sandra: jacqui heinrich reporting for the hill for us, thank you. >> john: let's get another perspective on all of this, bring in former georgia congressman doug collins. good to see you this afternoon. let me start with a quote fro

georgia governor brian kemp joins us now. great to have you here today. seem to be the man of the hour, a busy one. do you believe major league baseball will live to regret that decision? >> i think they will. it's almost comical, all of these that keep falling and moving the all-star game from the cities and at 60% african-american to an metro area that is less than 10%, they have less of early voting days. they have a photo i.d. requirement, for in person voting. it's insane. we compared to where major league baseball is headquartered in new york, and i've talked to that issue at nausea them really about the discrepancies and how they are boycotting and pulling games out of the state like ours. yet they are headquartered in the state that's more restrictive than they are. it doesn't add up. and, there's a couple of provisions in this bill that are, with this i.d. if we can't hand out food or water and if you do it then you can't announce who you are and can't have any labeling. then on the ballot request, what was wrong with 180 days, why reduce that to

. >> reporter: georgia governor brian kemp said saturday m.l.b. and other companies caved to what we called liberal pressure. >> they ignored the facts of our new election integrity law and they ignored the consequences of their decision on our local community. >> reporter: over the weekend, former president obama praised the companies for taking action, while former president trump encouraged a boycott. late today the white house tells cbs news president biden supports moving the all-star game out of atlanta. he is away celebrating easter with family at camp david this weekend. >> christina ruffini at the white house, thank you. >> duncan: week two of derek chauvin's murder trial begins tomorrow in minneapolis. the former police officer is accused in the death of george floyd, witnesses expected to include the city's police chief who condemned chauvin's actions in the past. on friday the longest serving officer said it was totally unnecessary for chauvin to keep his knee on floyd's neck and called it deadly. chauvin has pleaded not guilty. in the

this is what brian kemp said yesterday, listen to this. >> baseball caved to fear and lies from liberal activists. >> he has done a variation on that line a couple of times now. how costly could the backlash to the corporate backlash against this could be? >> i think it will depend on the issue they're fighting against. i think it will be unlikely that there is a backlash against companies like kococa-cola and delta. especially when you look at the overwhelming support that they have in this country not just from corporate america, but for most citizens. i just don't think there is much of a threat. when you take a stand you're sticking your neck out. today if you want to get the right employees to work for you, they are saying they want their companies to do this, this is the way they will be for now. >> yeah, i mean still yet to be decided. we'll wait and see, but thank you so much for your take on all of this, paul, we appreciate it. >> it is worth noting that they are tracking measures across the country and they're finding that 47 states have restrictions. texas, georgia, and arizo

who does what brian kemp did? that is my point on it and i think c-span does a good job. i want you all every morning. and have been watching you since 1979. host: wow. thank you, keep watching. chris, calling from huntingburg, indiana. he things it is a bad idea. tell us more, chris. caller: hello to everybody in the country. first, i want to say i love you all. the god i believe in does not give me a choice of who to love and not love. there is a lot of opinions, i think that is part of the problem. the motions of what somebody said -- emotions of what some but he said earlier plays a huge part in this. if we could love one another, things would be a lot better. as for the politics, i call myself a hard-core conservative but i'm not a racist, i am not a bigot. i am not any of those things though a lot of people are claiming that all republicans or conservatives are that. i want to get that out of the way. i think that needs to be brought to light if possible that there are racists and bigots on both sides and if we do not recognize that, we are very, very -- we are in a

kemp. >> brian: she has not acknowledged it. senator tom cotton, thanks so much. truly appreciate it. always liked the fact that you are at the tip of this beer with these controversial topics. appreciate it. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: all right, days ago president biden offered his full throated support for the mlb's boycott of the georgia all-star game but now the poll numbers are out and he's kind of changed his tune. >> do you think the masters golf tournament should be moved out of out of georgia? >> i think that's up to the masters. it's 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. >> brian: jim crow laws. he knows better. of course he is still peddling the same defamatory sphere that georgia is resurrecting jim crow, it's shameful. running is this newt gingrich, former house speaker and fox news contributor. the guy knows georgia. your reaction to president biden's reversal on the way he calls it jim crow-esque. how can

. >> georgia republican governor brian kemp signed the voting bill into law last week. after the gop led state legislature passed it. the law which strengthens voter id requirements among other things is prompting wave of criticism from the left. democratsdemocrats are pressuria based corporations to pick sides but the governor says he will not cave.

. >> 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 using that to change the rules of voting and they are feeling the backlash because their power grab is so transparent and having been caught in the act they are attempting to lie about what they are doing. we know what they are doing. they know what they are doing too. no it is true. the actual particulars of the georgia bill are not determinative of outcomes. they do not guarantee that republicans will win future elections or turn out will go down. there are all

kemp. he's the one who signed the new election law. thank you so much for coming on, super simple question to start, should corporations have veto power over the democratic process? >> tucker, this is unbelievable. i mean, really, unfortunate today, obviously, that major league baseball has folded up and caved to the cancel culture, and a bunch of liberal lies. it's even more sad that the president of the united states like joe biden and stacey abrams enabling the election integrity acts, jim crow. if this is what happens. you have a lot of small business owners, baseball fans, including myself are getting deprived of having an all-star game in atlanta because of the cancel culture. i think it's a message to all of us all across this country that are home tonight, they're coming after you, next. if they're going to come after your ball game, they're going to boycott your business. if you don't agree with their way of life, they will come after you on that. >> tucker: it's shocking, why are

activists have been shouting from the rooftops for weeks but it wasn't until brian kemp signed that into law under a painting of slave plantation while a black official was dragged off by armed men and then corporates started to treat this battle like what it is. on wednesday more than 70 black business executives fired off an open letter and corporates standing idly by on the side lines, the message was clear, quote, there is no middle ground here. you either are for more people voting or you want to suppress the vote. that is part of what was in there. on friday, major league baseball announced it will pull the all-star game. joining me now is one of the black executives who started a corporate movement. ray mcguire, good morning, thank you for being with us. >> good morning, thank you for having me and happy easter to those who are observers. >> let's talk about this letter. what got it started. it is one of the few times we've seen so many current and former senior executives, corporate leaders, wall street people like yourself rally around a particular cause and have a real call to
