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

supporters say that's not true at all, but here's what the atlanta braves saying themselves about this. they want the game there. this was neither a decision, nor our recommendation. unfortunately, business employees and fans in georgia are victims of this decision, and the mayor of atlanta, keisha lance bottom, she says boycotts will hit the metro atlanta area the hardest and have a ripple across the state. small businesses and everyday working people will suffer. it is the not too late to right the sinking ship. she wants the law changed, but she also as you point out was concerned about the effect on her constituents. >> well, it's not going to affect these ceos and their lifestyle one iota. not at all. but it will affect parking lot attendants and selling hot dogs and sodas up in the stands, it'll affect the people who are taking the tickets and the ushers. it'll affect a whole lot of working class people who have been hit in the teeth by a yearlong lockdown, and now they're getting kick in the teeth again by board members and ceos who will never see the effect of just crushing har

this is what happens. >> the all-star game will honor atlanta braves legend and civil rights activist hank aaron who died in january. there's no word yet where the game will be held. >>> well, it's easter weekend. two european countries are starting new coronavirus lockdowns. french president emmanuel macron says his country is starting a limited lock down and set to last a month and schools will also be closed for at least three weeks. now, this is on top of the national curfew. italy has also started a strict new lock down. officials are trying to prevent the virus from spreading over easter. so we have two reporters in two european capitals. let's start with you, delia. a scaled down easter in italy. >> reporter: that's right, kim. you know the lock down is obviously affecting the vatican as well. that was evident last night at the pope's good friday ceremony to a virtually empty st. peters square. that's a ceremony usually held at the colosseum in rome with thousands of people, a candlelit ceremony but the vatican had to scale that back, tonight's easter vigil and also they moved

you can understand how the atlanta braves feel about it. there are people who feel this is taking some economic opportunity away from those who would benefit from having a big event like an all-star game and some of those people are relatively lower on the economic ladder, so i understand those objections, but the larger point that is being made here, yeah, you can claim, as governor kemp did, that there are certain provisions within this bill that will enhance access to voting. but in the overall on balance, it actually restricts voting and it's clear it will most negative impact people of color and at the lower income scale. this is what baseball decided to do. ps this is also different when you talk about the pga tour. the masters is only in one place at one time. baseball can move its all-star game and it will somewhere else. the players will still play in the all-star game. >>> update on the investigation of republican congressman matt gaetz. federal investigators are looking into his relationships with young women. the threads they ar

yes way more than double >> reporter: his restaurant sits in the shadow of truist park, home of the atlanta braves and until last week home of this year's all-star game now he's among dozens of disappointed businesses facing financial loss with mlb moving the game out of georgia, taking a stand over the state's new voting law and taking tens of millions of dollars in tourist revenue. >> i understand why they're doing it, but it's still frustrating as far as a small business, black-owned business owner it's kind of hard to try to maintain and bring customers in because of the pandemic >> reporter: the game is now headed west to denver and critics point out to a city with a very different demographic. black people comprise more than half of atlanta's population in denver it's less than 10% it's the unintended consequence of taking a stand. it draws more eyes and attention to the conversation but the trade-off, what gets lost in the shuffle are these businesses who are desperate for more revenue >> reporter: the pandemic has already taken a disproportionate toll on black businesses. now for ma

and the atlanta braves, whose players have already covered up the all-star patch on their uniforms, expressing disappointment, writing "this was neither our decision nor our recommendation." republicans say that the law makes georgia's elections more secure by requiring i.d. to apply for an absentee ballot and they say that the law expands the early voting period longer than some blue states. >> it is easier to vote in georgia after the new law than it is in delaware now, the president's home state. >> reporter: but democrats call it voter suppression, saying that those i.d. requirements, new limits on drop box usage and banning anyone except a poll worker from offering water to voters in line all restrict access to the ballot, especially for black voters >> there is no equivalence here this is an assault against democracy itself this includes rural voters, black voters, democratic voters, republican voters. >> reporter: but not all sports are getting out of town. the pga tour is keeping this fall's tour championship in atlanta as planned lester >> all right, blayne, thank you. >>> let's turn

the 2021 all star game was moved from the atlanta braves�* home stadium after the state strengthened identification requirements for absentee ballots, shortened early voting periods for runoffs, and made it a crime to offer food and water to voters waiting in line. the governor had this to say about the all star decision. i want to be clear. i will not be backing down from this fight. and neither are the people who are here with me today. we will not be intimidated and we will also not be silenced. major league baseball, coca—cola and delta may be scared of stacey abrams and joe biden and the left, but i am not, and we are not. the former crown prince ofjordan says he's been placed under house arrest as part of a crackdown on critics of the government. street protests in germany against strict covid measures — as the country's president appeals for national unity. to myanmar now, where ten ethnic rebel groups have thrown their support behind people protesting against the military coup. this comes as the military launched further air strikes in myanmar�*s eastern karen state, ki

braves — to be rescheduled. the sport's commissioner said baseball supported voting rights for all americans. joining me now is baseball columnist bill shaikin from the la times — who wrote last week that major league baseball should move the all star game. i don't know how much credit you can take but clearly some. they have listened to you. are you surprised that they have? i am a little bit. majorly baseball has been in this situation before. ten years ago, there was a controversy of law in the state of arizona and the same calls were made, there had to be a boycott, major league baseball had to move the game, and they went on with the game, and they went on with the game as scheduled but social justice has changed a lot in america, especially after last summer and the summer of protests, and a summer in which businesses and sports leagues vowed to listen more carefully to the public and to the athletes that play their game, and i think in this case, majorly raised bull is very aware that there wasn't reall

good on the atlanta braves. they slammed, this actually, because they want the all-star game there it's not every team. rachel: i had representative vernon jones who used to be a representative in georgia he says this lays at the feet of stacey abrams. is he blaming stacey abrams of course the president also bears some blame. will: absolutely. rachel: he encouraged it. will: he repeated the lies that stacey abrams began and picked up so readily. pete: somebody put ton a card and he read it. rachel: susan rice did. will: we turn now to a few additional headlines starting with this fox news alert. overnight three people are killed and four others are injured in a shooting in north carolina at a house party. police say the shooting happened inside a wilmington home, an investigation is underway to identify the suspects. no arrests have been made and the motive remains unclear. we will keep you updated on this developing story throughout the morning. and a fox news exclusive the pictures show the moments after cbp r

but the atlanta braves say they are quote deeply disappointed adding this was neither our decision nor recommendation. the team had hoped our city could use this event as a platform to enhance the discussion. republican governor who signed the controversial law ripped the decision saying the league in his words caved to fear political opportunity and liberal lies. >> now the game will still honor braves legend hank aaron. but no word where the all star game will be held. hall of fame sports broadcaster says it is the latest example of sports leagues making statements about equity and politics. >> until relatively recently, baseball was not as apt as a sport to weigh in on social issues as perhaps lt nba. but that all changed. last year was obviously a time of reckoning and continues. thst a players alliance in baseball. made up primarily of players of color. african-american players and also widely supported by white players around major league baseball. so, there's still some people who say stick to sports. >> there's a long history of athletes using their platform to register a point

you can understand how the atlanta braves feel about it. and some of those people are relative liloer on the economic ladder. the larger point that's being made here as daniel dale pointed out about an hour ago with you, yeah, you can claim as governor kemp did but there are certain provisions within this bill that'll enhance access to voting. in the overall on balance it restricts voting and it is clear that it will most negatively impact people of color and people a t the lower end of the economic scale. this is also different when you talk about tb pga tour and the masters next week. the masters is only at one place at one time. baseball can move to some where else. so these players are going to play in the all-star game. >> it is interesting you brought up what daniel dale said. i have been reading a lot of what's happening with the voter law in georgia. the main thing people have to remember. there is a lot of misinformation going around and half truth and we know it happens. the emphasis was a lie of the election that it standrted. it

let me start by asking you, with this alleged jim crow law, they move out of atlanta and the atlanta braves >> to go to denver which is a stricter voter id law or you have to have an id to vote. what you think of all of this someone is in a major sport? >> take baseball, you've got two teams. unfortunately the astros cheated. two teams doing everything to be fair. it is a privilege to vote. let something as a u.s. citizen it is a privilege tose vote. all of those laws of gone out the door. it saddens me. use show an id to get alcohol pretty show id to get on an airplane, what's wrong with showing an id to vote? it is something we should always have to do. it is just really sad this culture that's come around. i don't understand why baseball would do that it saddens me more than anything. judge jeanine: when you look at people in professional sports there almost >> to you guys are really >> to all of these rules. how do you feel about that personally? >> they went to move the masters? the masters is where the most prestigious place in the world to play golf. they raised a town, a ton

. >> this is the home of the atlanta braves, so you asked about the reaction here in georgia, there is one thing they can agree on, they were disappointed to see it leave the state of georgia. it is the businesses, the restaurants, the workers that will really feel the impact of this economically and that's where the agreement ends. you see them blaming each other. so you're hearing from democrats that they are pointing the finger at republicans saying they're upset with the republican led legislature for putting georgia in this situation. brian kemp spoke out over the weekend to defend this voter law saying it makes elections more secure and saying that he is not going to walk away and remaining defiant. take a look. >> i want to be clear. i are not be backing down from this fight. and neither are the people here with me today. we will not be intimidated and we will also not be silenced. major league baseball, coca-cola, and delta may be scared of stacey abrams, joe biden, and the left, but i am not. >> i think you're absolutely right when we said we're only seeing the beginning of th

also, there are still 81 home baseball games that are going to be played in the atlanta braves stadium and the state that they are reportedly moving to, colorado, actually has more restrictive election law, restrictions in their law than exists in georgia. it's all such farcical, ridiculous absurdity and that's what so frustrating about. this people decide oftentimes far left wingers what the narrative is going to be. they apply it to sports, and there are so few people with functional brains in my industry, that they blindly applaud this social justice activism without actually researching election law itself. the state where you're in and major league baseball is based, new york, is far more restrictive than georgia. the place that they just moved the all-star game to, colorado, is more restrictive. delaware, joe biden's home state, i don't remember him for the last 40 some odd years referring to delaware a's jim crow 2.0 laws. these are all lies that are easily refuted if people used their brain, and my industry just fails year after year, month after month, to actually look at the

and you know it's bad when the organization that includes the atlanta braves and the cleveland indians say you're too racist. that's like matt gaetz telling you to date your own age. speaking of sex criminals, the former president put out a statement on m.l.b.'s decision, as well as other corporations who have criticized georgia: "it is finally time for republicans and conservatives to fight back-- we have more people than they do-- by far! boycott major league baseball, coca-cola, delta airlines, jpmorgan chase, viacomcbs, citigroup, cisco, ups, and merck." together, that constitutes a sector of the economy experts call, "the economy." his supporters are going to have to go generic. hope you like great value bat and ball product, and kirkland signature airlines. plus, it's hard to imagine him giving up his beloved diet coke. if he needs a pick-me-up, he'll have to ask don junior to share his supply of coke classic. we've got a great show for you tonight. my guests are john cena and senator tammy duckworth. but when we return, the former president is the grift that keeps on grifting. s

the bottom line as soon as the mlb announced this the atlanta braves came out against it. cobb county commissioners and tourism officials have come out against this and all the small businesses are going to suffer and the democrats own this. they drove the narrative. this is jim crow and then there is a reaction to their being jim crow laws back in place and now they are all surprised about there being a boycott. this is on democrats, not republicans. >> dana: charles barkley had this to say, juan if you can put it on the screen i will read to everyone: any thoughts on that? >> juan: i love charles barkley, i think is he really great. i must say i think if charles barkley was a baseball player he might be one who wouldn't go to the all-star game in georgia given the current law. you think about delta, coke, other ceos, they are not just reacting to nothing, they are not stupid people, and they care deeply about their bottom line. but they are indicating here that they don't want to be caught off guard again. they saw what happened januaryth in terms of the attack on the co

he made a little bit of a joke saying what are they going to do if the atlanta braves make it into the world series? how will they move forward and folks signed on to the bill that was then passed last week but you hear the very stark contrast between what democrats are saying, talking about how restrictive this bill can be for poor communities and access to the ballot box compared to what the republicans are saying pushing the points to make the argument that it expands voting rights. >> i think there are voters there in georgia thinking, hey, cancel culture on the ability to vote properly. thank you so much. >>> joining me martin luther king iii, good to see you again. so glad for you to join me here on a holiday weekend. pretty strong language from georgia's governor. what's your view of mlb pulling the all-star game from atlanta? >> i think that is the kind of thing to expect to see when you actually create legislation that restricts or reduces the potential for people to vote opposed to expanding. this -- you know, the governor said, also, there were no issues with the election on

atlanta braves stadium and political stuff is for another time. right now we're staying and appreciate hearing both sides on this but not going the get involved. i guarantee it would go away. i think they think they are doing the right thing from a p.r. perspective. there are more people angry than cheering on major league baseball and the companies for taking a stand on again a lie. >> harris: a lot of companies. it was a scroll. i want to get to this. i've been reading your twitter on vacation. cbs60 minutes taking heat from all sides after airing a botched hit piece on governor desantis. they claimed desantis he gave publix -- >> publix donated $100,000 to your campaign and then you rewarded them with the exclusive rights to distribute the vaccination in palm beach. >> what you are saying in wrong. that's a fake narrative. i met with the county mayor, administrator and palm beach county and said here are some of the options. we can do more drive through sites and give more to hospitals, do the publix. they said we think that would be the easies

, braves will allow fully pack stadiums. >> just opening up like we have has meant the world, i think, to everybody here. >> reporter: nationwhy, average daily new case count, the lowest it's been in over six months. tennessee declared mission accomplished. i am not renewing any public health orders, tweeted the governor, because covid-19 is no longer a health emergency in our state. jumping the gun? tennessee has one of the lowest rates of vaccination in the land. not quite one-third of americans are now fully vaccinated and the pace is slowing, dropped nearly 20% the past two weeks. >> go get vaccinated, america. go and get the vaccination. they're available. >> reporter: supply? no longer the issue. it's demand. in our new poll of the not yet vaccinated 58% of adults said they won't try to get a shot. think again say the experts. think ahead. >> one critical way to prevent long covid is to prevent covid it itself, even for young people who consider their risk of severe covid to be low, the long-term consequences can be quite serious. >> reporter: now jake as we get into the hesitan

braves they put out a statement saying there saddened by the development and the victims are v the fans the atlaa braves fans that will miss out on the opportunity to see the all-star game in their city this summer, there's a lot of companies that are experiencing backlash from lawmakers because they spoke out in the face of threatened boycott and to condemn the new election law, delta ceo called the new voting law unacceptable but also the company on its website called itself the most chinese friendly airline in this company also added flights to china during the pandemic, in response to that senator marco rubio called delta out, we had this treat for you and he basically says your business partners with the commonest party of china, when can we expect your letter saying the ongoing genocide in the province is unacceptable and does not match delta's values. we also noted this is happening with coca-cola james quincyn calling the new law wrong, that company has invested like $4 billion in china over the s past several years saying it's for future growth in the country and also apple ceo

what is bad, the braves, the atlanta braves that don't support this decision, they thought it was a terrible idea, they like me realize what the fallout will be. it's going to hurt them financially, going to hurt their organization all because of guilt by association because of major league baseball folding to the cancel culture. >> martha: governor kemp, thanks very much. great to have you here today. sorry about the audio problems. see you next time. >> no worries. thank you. >> martha: senator rand paul calls out those woke in georgia but sound asleep or uighur concentration camps in china. he's next. e same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need. 'cause i do things a little differently. hey, i'll take one, please! wait, this isn't a hot-dog stand? no, can't you see the sign? wet. teddy. bears. get ya' wet teddy bears! one-hundred percent wet, guaranteed! or the next one is on me! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ here's huge news for veteran homeowners. introducing refiplus from ne

braves saying the team is deeply disappointed. adding, this was neither our decision nor our recommendation. across social media, mixed reaction one writing, i wholly agree with the mlb. reprehensible actions don't deserve reward another calling the move completely unacceptable. adding, politics have no place in sports. baseball's decision marks the biggest corporate response to georgia's newly passed law, even as critics are urging other big businesses to step up. >> my coke is flat. >> my, my, my. >> reporter: threatening coca-cola, delta airlines, and home depot with a boycott starting this week, unless the companies use their resources to support voting rights in other states both coca-cola and delta have criticized the new law and, guys, there's no announcement yet on where the all-star game will be held this year meanwhile this morning, we're also hearing from the pga tour they're saying in a statement that this follows the pga tour championship that's scheduled to be held in atlanta will take place at the east lake golf cou

they have those fans back in the stands last night at the atlanta braves game. whoa ronald akunyili junior throws the ball toward the stands in between innings. that's an epic beer pong shot from center field right into the fan's beer. up and i think you could say safely. he's happy to work this out hello last night, rocky's dad rouz justin turner smashes one over the wall in left best part about it, though, say cheese to the van right there. he gets hit right in the nachos. okay? yeah that is a full plate of nachos, but he's happy anyway, you sure got himself with her baseball, and that's the way it should be fans back in the stands. that's the sporting life. this our guys back to you and we'll see you later. all right, mark. thank you. by frank tonight, everybody. thanks for joining us the news thanks for joining us the news at seven over and ktvu (water running) leonard, are you in the shower? leonard: i can't hear you! i'm in the shower! i asked if you were in the shower, but that's moot now! what? moot! rendered unimportant by recent events! i can't hear yo

by the way, outside of the atlanta braves, i didn't hear anyone push back on this. which teams is stacey talking about it? who's players? i want to see receipts. i'm exactly like you, lawrence, i want to see the receipts on this conversation. >> emily: now to another story gaining attention today, a move in new york state to pay billions of taxpayer dollars to undocumented immigrants. progression lawmakers securing a provision in the state's budget that sets up a $2.1 billion "excluded workers" fund and offers up to $1600 one-time payments to undocumented immigrants who lost their jobs . what are your thoughts on this? >> dagen: i would say it's a head-scratcher but it's not because of this is the liberal-controlled new york government. $2.1 billion for undocumented workers -- there is a billion dollars for small businesses. an estimated one-third of small businesses will be gone forever. that is just in new york city. what message does this send? more than $15,000. even if you can't prove you were working, you can still get money. it's the equivalent of $300 a week
