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

atlanta, one of the most amazing cities. that is why so many people have flocked there from around the country. i have so many friends and relatives who left all parts of the country for black excellence opportunity and they snatched 100 million from them. i don't know if you watched the masters, amazing tournament, historical, one for the ages. they put out a very thoughtful statement midweek, they are concerned about all these things, they will not have a knee-jerk reaction. they kept it going. they had guardrails on this thing. instead of going straight for what you said, sort of activism path, is there a way, elegant way for these companies to really address some of these issues without taking the bait the way they have? >> well i think they can realize they can speak into the corporate culture and to the public swear put they don't get to be lawmakers and hold the public and people that work for them -- what if you work for american express or delta air lines or any of these companies, and now your ceo is coming out to

elsewhere in the metro atlanta area, this gas station in snellville closed temporarily. georgia governor brian kemp signed a executive order waiving fuel taxes through saturday. that demand will drive up the trickle of supply. national average gas price approaching 2.99 a gallon. aaa says if current trends continue we could see fuel prices most expensive level since november 2014. social media posts showing long lines up to several gas stations in north carolina inchewedding this one in asheville. the colonial pipeline which runs from texas to new jersey tends to keep fuel prices lower for communities it serves when running properly. in addition to transporting multiple grades of gasoline, cone y'all pipeline carries jet fuel. american airlines added stops with some long haul routes to fuel planes. delta, united say operations are unaffected. charles, colonial pipeline supplies 45% of the fuel consumption on the east coast. any disruption to the pipeline takes a bite out of consumers. back to you. david: charles: jonathan, thank you very much. i want to bring in mark tep

taking $100 million from atlanta, all the businesses making it happen, or the last year-and-a-half to have these riots, always happening in urban communities and they unleashed these anarchists and marxists to destroy small business owners. so understand what we're all about. by the way, these corporate ceo's, they're not our friend. they understand exactly what they're trying to do. they see themselves as globalists. don't see themselves as american. they're doing everything they can to undermine our values, way of life an election laws. we're going to, we're going to understand and kick back on this one big time. charles: you know, i told people a while back, and, all you have to do is long where these companies get the majority of their revenue, the majority of their growth and you can see why they have taken a calculated gamble of now going to war with conservative. s. if i'm nike i can replace those customers easily. most conservatives will not boycott the products. you played professional football. started businesses. you have a organization that helps incarcerated youth. rather

look at the atlanta federal reserve, taking their expectations for the third quarter all the way up from 6% down to a half of a percent growth. does that change what the fed is going to do? and then you've got the cryptocurrency story, mastercard and cryptocurrency firm back announcing a major partnership, this will allow banks to issue debit or credit cards that allow people to pay in bitcoin and earn crypto as rewards. the movement in terms of the digital economy picks up speed. >> absolute -- absolutely it does. this is a sign of the expansion of the crypto market, especially from business and c to c, consumer to consumer. you see expansion, companies like back doing well, other companies doing well because they're starting to think about how do we create products around the core of a bitcoin or an ether, et cetera. that moved is doing it, no -- that moved is doing it, -- that master card is doing it, no surprise at all. what's interesting for corporates, they're quite hesitant to actually use it to pay because of the volatility that they have. but you absolutely are seeing an increas

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
