i'm edward lawrence talking in atlanta talking about georgia law. they want law i makers to listen to one other. some like the law. some doesn't leak the waa. they should allow people all the way up to the polling site door, not 150 feet away. they hope the national attention will push people to change the law. >> people listen to respond, not listen to actually understand. i'm not saying that one side or the other is going to be completely happy with everything that is done but a think a lot more listening can be done. reporter: others agree with the law it actually expands voting by adding 17 days of early voting, including both weekend days. yesterday we were at manuel's tavern that almost went under after 65 years of business during the pandemic. the community rallied to save the tavern. overall the law is not bad but reaction to the law has been disappointing. >> we're manuel's tavern. so much happened in that little tavern between all the different groups that wanted to get stuff done. they all got together, over a beer, made it happen. we're

. ♪ atlanta while the road. while they are playing as fast as they can, jerry willis is live with details. jerry. >> that's right. residents of buckhead, while the authentic community known for its mansions and malls is considering from the city. establishing its own police force. i want to show you video here, this is an atlanta resident sprinting for the safety of his own home after seeing a masked man carrying a rifle on his residential street. this is shocking but not unusual according to the atlanta police. robberies in the city are up 40% year over year and assault are up 35% auto theft is up 63%. in one horrifying example, a 7-year-old girl fatally shot in the back of the head while riding in a car with her mom and aunt. the surge in crime as part of the wider search across atlanta, up 80%, shootings up 32% year over year. while crime is higher in most big cities across the country, a dentist experience is extreme, possibly related to the fact that 200 officers left the police force in the wake of the sho

the atlanta shootings were tragic, but they were motivated by a young man's sexual torment and guilt for his sexual longingsings. they had nothing to do with coronavirus-inspired hatred for asians. the man was on his way to a porn business in florida to commit more shootings that would have had no asian victims presumably whatsoever. nevertheless, in the face of blatant contradictory evidence, we've had both biden and harris taking up their usual theme about the hatred of whites for the rest of america, the mainstream media's pushing this. we have the daily protests by asians saying i am not a virus. here's what has been going on, stuart. there has been a series of very gruesome, brutal and sadistic attacks on elderly asian senior citizens. they have been committed overwhelmingly by blacks. in new york city, a black new yorker is over six times more likely to commit a hate crime against an asian as a white person is. i go into the details of some of these in a recent article of mine. they are heart-wren. ing, but that is not what's being acknowledged in the media. we keep hearing abo

i'm in manuel's tavern in the high lands area of atlanta. this tavern was hoping with a big boost during the all-star game. the owner told me it would be the first truly profitable day since the pandemic. in 65 years since the shutdown, he told employees would no longer be able to keep the business going. the community rallied around the business, keeping it alive, offering money and business to this, taking take-out orders. he was truly looking forward to the all-star game as many folks around here. in fact the cobb county tourism travel bureau said they would lose $100 million over the week, by people coming in spending money. 19,000 hotel rooms booked by major league baseball will go unused. all that money left on the table as the game shifts over to colorado. people here on the ground very disappointed in this situation happened. back to you. stuart: i can understand it. edward lawrence, thank you very much. now i want to bring in georgia state senator matt brass who joins us now. matt, you have, i think, over 3,000 delta workers in your

over half of the population in atlanta is black. the revenue loss from the all-star game going away could total more than $100 million in lost tourism revenue to the area according to one official. but when you're looking at the voting laws, the reason why mlb moved the game out of georgia to colorado, when you compare the two states, colorado has fewer days of early voting than georgia. 15 days to georgia's 17. both states require a valid i.d. to vote by mail and in person. they also both allow no excuse vote by mail. but politicians on the local level in georgia could be having the biggest impact on businesses that are choosing to take a political position on this. georgia house voted to strip delta, one of the outspoken corporations of millions of dollars in tax breaks. the georgia senate still has to weigh in on this before the bill potentially could land on the governor's desk for him to sign offer on. but the bottom line is, there can be consequences on the local level for these corporations. we also, david, did reach out to m

federal reserve when i was in atlanta last week. if the vaccine rolls out the economy will get rolling pretty well also. but that the is is the caveat but to your earlier point we need to pick that up, is that right? >> yes the numbers have to be significantly greater. we have to have 70 to 80% of population having immunity or vaccine through the disease. we prefer it to be through the vaccine. hundreds of millions of individuals need to be vaccinated and we're just not on that path right now. if we're going to get there within the second quarter, by the end of the second quarter of this year that we've really got to increase our ability to get these vaccines in peoples arms. so all that we can do to make that happen will improve the economy. imagine if you would the confidence that you would feel or anybody would feel if we got 80% of the population with immunity and knowing that there is not a possibility of the disease to have this kind of spike like we're currently having. connell: do we need a stronger national approach to have

he's in atlanta and he's talking to voters. what are they telling you? reporter: voters feel slighted by major league baseball and corporations. the conversation has changed on the ground here and one voter i talked with, void for prince said even some of the emergency action that was done in the last election were made permanent by the voting law, but he says it's up to the people of georgia and no one else, not the white house or anyone else, but the people of georgia to sort this out >> should have been more bipartisan as opposed to one side. that always raises problems. but the other side came out with the bill long before was ever ever signed and that site-- that starts a whole other frustrating level. no one is talking to each other anymore. reporter: he's frustrated by the rush to action in the rush to judgment on both sides. in business owner i talked to yesterday heard a lot of things about the bill, but he did what many others have not. >> it was very frustrating to find out it was actually happening and then to do a deep dive, personal dive in

but it's quickly jerking into a embarrassment after moving the all-star game from atlanta to georgia over georgia supposedly voting rights laws the prominent colorado's voting rights law, awfully similar embarrassingly sober if you think the hypocrisy is good then pined to your batting thousand for the mlb is when the corporations have spoken out against the georgia laws which do sinister things like calling for voting id requirements. coca-cola, delta air lines, they are among them. early today senate majority said this whole situation is absurd. >> most type major league baseball is pretty important corporation. if they applied the same standard they apply to georgia, they could not have games in st. louis because missouri has a more restrictive voter law than georgia, then the new georgia law. what about the yankees? new york has a more restrictive voter participation law then they new georgia law. where is it at? so, my warning if you will to corporate america is to stay out of politics. >> gave big dumb dumb son let's go yankees by the staff and present biden responded to questi

atlanta is majority african american and yet yet major league baseball decides to punish atlanta. it doesn't make sense. they are so inconsistent whatever they do. i agree with you, if you are going to do this, do it to every state, be fair to everybody but they don't want to go that route. this is a gift, political gift to the republican party in georgia. i think brian kemp has done a very good job. he has been very even-handed on this, as has the state legislature. this was not some bill dropped overnight. it was debated over the entire legislative session. they knew about it. everyone was invited to the table. elizabeth: got it. biden and democrats are accused of misleading, bullying and pulling down atlanta with a phony, with the boycott based on a phony racism charge. like the major league baseball and companies and democrats don't know what they're talking about. they didn't even read the georgia voting law. you got president obama calling for baseball and companies to boycott georgia. remember when obama sat next to raul castro in communist cuba to watch a baseball game in

dell computers in texas, and american airlines, and in atlanta, delta and coca-cola. sports business is trillion dollar global scale, trillion dollar domestically ecosystem. they depend on each other, media, corporate sponsors, fans, right now to your point, neil, it is fans that are losing in this ecosystem of imbalance. neil: i'm just wondering whether the fans protest by either not watching on tv or not going to the games, even where there are, you know, limited if any restrictions on crowd capacity such as arlington, texas, where you can fill it to the max and not have any issues? i'm discuss wondering whether it might show up that way? people drop out on the attendance when baseball desperately needs them? >> baseball is absolutely fan attendance driven sport unlike others the does. they don't have the television deals and merchandise, which led to 70% drop in the covid year. baseball is looking at this presumably from a balance sheet standpoint first. within that what are key drivers and indicators, kpis, give u.s. the red flags or green flags in the proverbial

, moving it to denver which i might note atlanta is 51% african-american denver is 9% african-american. so good job baseball you care about racial equality so much that you took 100 million dollars away from largely african-american small businesses, and atlanta and moved it to bunch of lily white businesses in denver. you've shown your virtue through and through. and i have to say my attitude i'm fed up with it. i'm sick of it. i think a lot of americans are sick of it. and so i announced this week as of this point going forward i will not accept any contributions from corporate packs not a penny in nine years corporate packs contradicted 2.6 million to my campaign and i've decided enough is enough. that if they're going behave as enemies of the american people, enemies of liberty if they're goapg going to engage in lice and willingly be weaponized as economic tools of punishment for the democratic party and the radicals, who are doing enormous damage to the country that -- that i want nothing to do with that endeavor. >> fair enough. senator cruz, you speak right to the issue, and we

imagine what would have happened if we tried to micromanage this from washington, atlanta from the cdc. you have to do this at the local level. some governors are doing a great job. some governors are failing, who administered 50% or less of the vaccines shipped to them. reporter: the head of "operation warp speed" is saying that some states are starting to open up who can get the vaccine. he says we're seeing, number increasing and number of doses given each day. right now it is between 800 and 900,000 dose es given each day. if they get to that one million dose a day milestone before january 20th, then president-elect biden does not have to make any changes to meet his campaign promise of 100 million families or americans being vaccinated in the first 100 days but senior biden administration officials say they want to build a national vaccine effort from the ground up. so, charles, we'll see if that changes the timeline at all. back to you. charles: all right. edward lawrence. thank you very much. we continue to look at the life and legacy of martin luther king, jr., the most famous

you had the atlanta thing, moving from atlanta to denver, you just turned off half of your audience. why would you do that right now? baseball seems like everything bad is happening for them if you're commissioner rob manfred. neil: you know, then we had this sold of wildcard business thrown in about these surges in cases, covid cases right now. i don't believe, and you guys might know this better than i, they're screening people who have been vaccinated or not into denver stadium, but the fact of the matter is they're concerned, the nih and some of these other facilities, about a spike in cases and whether events like this risk being a super-spreader event which as you know, todd, in tokyo they've taken matters into their own hands, no fans in the stands, vaccinated or not. where's all this going? >> there's a much different situation in tokyo versus in the united states when it comes to vaccinations. but where is all this going, i think dr. michael gun zelman dds which i call him because i think that's what his name really should be, i think he brings up a key point. there are prob

you're correct, we are asking that they move the game back to atlanta. quite frankly with the same expediency he moved it out. he moved it out in four days after brian kemp, the governor of georgia signed the law, about four days later they moved it. they can move it out that quickly, have them move it back to atlanta that quickly. if they can't do that, we're asking they set up a relief fund for all small business owners and businesses that were damaged and hurt because of the move. again it was an estimated amount of $100 million, neil, and that's what we're asking for them to do. if they can't move it back, let's set up the relief fund, so our small us owners can have the relief they were expecting for 21 months. neil: you also know what you speak. you've also sit on the georgia chamber of commerce. you know the impact on numbers in the atlanta areas state of georgia. that they call for i.d. at will call windows across all the parks across the country. what is the issue for enforcing for the most sacred right to vote. >> that is exactly right, neil. t

telling them that he was not going to do that citing the mlb decision to pull the all-star game out of atlanta over the controversial election law he said it's shameful that america's pastime is getting involved in politics. >> thank you grady, great to see you a dozen for us on fox business. "the evening edit" starts right now. liz: president biden'snd p big x incentive plan hitting a wall oe the senate up to seven senate democrats may reject the bidens tax hike that is according to joe manchin. it could be dead on arrival in the senate the president i didn't under without explaining that. if that's so why are they using tax shelters to avoid hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal income payroll taxes as republicans point out with us now ron johnson, congressman tom emmert and buddy carter, jim trusty, art del cueto and we have more on the fighting family long history of using frequent use of off-balance shell companies to bury the cash from dealmakingre overseas. plus hunter bidens big 180 he does not remember if he owned the infamous laptop at the center of multiple probes. but he adm

now that you have joe biden even claiming that it may be good for the all-star game to move out of atlanta, here is the question i have, who does that help? who does the boycotts help with this not help the georgians who plan to work that event, maybe the hospitality industry that they're going to make up some losses financial losses they had during covid, there is a reason even stacy abrams came out and said these boycotts are harming the people they say they're trying to help. i don't understand the game plan other to say this is a long push for changes on a lateral level federal level hr when i think that's with her ultimate pushing for. before you invoke the phrase of old which is worse than jim crow. jim porro on steroids which is historically illiterate. so kevin i want to come to you. i understand you probably do not support the law, but shouldn't president biden not lie about the law? he was last week in a press conference making statements about what was in this legislation involving what he said was curtailing boating hours on voting day to target workers. it turned out that was

maria: the atlanta federal reserve finally joining your camp and cutting its expectation for growth or the quarter way down. they were all the way up at 6% a couple months ago and now they are up 1.5% in terms of growth. what are your expectations now for year-end and what is 2022 looking like? >> i think that we will see something maybe a little bit higher than half a percent in the fourth quarter. not much. that will bring growth for the year down to the mid to high theories. which makes sense. the economy is supply constraints. it was supply constrained up as start of the year. somehow our folks that make policy down here never recognized it. maria: well, that is a thing, larry, right now as we speak, there are continued negotiations on another massive trillion dollar, multitrillion dollar package. i mean, the definition of inflation is too many dollars chasing too few goods. why are we talking about more dollars facing too few goods so that we can see price spikes happen again? we are already talking double-digit increases in things like chicken, certainly gasoline , oil, eggs. >>

former atlanta fed president dennis lockheart is here to give us the hidden messages he heard in powell's virtual jackson hole remarks. is there a timeline here, and are we really going to see tapering this year? the president's national security advisors warning of more terror attacks just one day after the deadliest day since 2011 for american troops. what we're going to do is take you live to the white house for up to the minute details and developments and get the threat assessment from one of the nation's top experts on afghanistan's terror network and when we say threat, that includes u.s. companies with global operations. plus, a big win for the little guys, but does apple settlement with small app developers mean anything at all and its epic legal battle with the create or of fortnite? tech genius john mayer is here to peel back the skin on apple's deal, but first, breaking news, we do have oil prices speaking in the after market as we kickoff the final hour of trade on news that ida is now a hurricane. so you've got crude moving higher by 2%, the storm making landfall on on the a

connell: our thanks to rafael bostic from the atlanta federal reserve. we'll talk about timing when the fed pulls things back and support for the economy. says might be sooner than some people expect. they're approaching finish line of round one, walgreens and cvs on track to administer first doses of the covid-19 vaccine to skilled nursing facilities nationwide by the end of the month. vaccinations underway at nursing facilities in 49 states. we'll be right back hows right there. i wish my trading platform worked like that. well have you tried thinkorswim? this is totally customizable, so you focus only on what you want. okay, it's got screeners and watchlists. and you can even see how your predictions might affect the value of the stocks you're interested in. now this is what i'm talking about. yeah, it'll free up more time for your... uh, true crime shows? british baking competitions. hm. didn't peg you for a crumpet guy. focus on what matters to you with thinkorswim. ♪ some things are good to know. like where to find the cheapest gas in town and wh

jonathan serrie life in atlanta -- live in atlanta at a gas station. georgia is feeling the effect as well. energy secretary warning people not to hoard. what have you seen there? >> reporter: yes. in fact, we're hearing the same thing not only from our governor in georgia, but also the governor of alabama next door, urging residents not to hoard gasoline, only to gas up if your tank the actually needs it because there's also a psychological factor that's creating these temporary shortages. here at this quick trip gas station when we arrived this morning, they were already out of premium and mid grade, and within an hour of our alyle, they ran out of regular unleaded. people waiting for a ply truck to come and re-- supply truck to come and refill these tanks. >> i didn't with even know about it until i pulled up, and they said there was no gas here.
