, created by former atlanta mayor hartsfield was built around the idea that atlanta's economic future was really tied to the city's commitment to, you know, diversity and racial progress and so, you know, to have a company like delta, which was certainly pressured by black activists like the new georgia project, black voters matter, fair fight, et. cetera to weigh in on this voting rights legislation, those activists now tell me they're disappointed. i just saw, you know, la tasha brown tweeting. >> it's not just good citizenship. it's not just because you're locate there had and a pay taxes there and maybe you get contributions to some of the politicians. it's more than that. you look at dell a draft and ups and home depot and coca-cola and there are many others. georgia is a really big hub for american business. these are people who draw not only their workers, like your mom, but their customers from that base. the reason i'm a delta loyalist is because i worked for cnn for 12 years and cnn was an atlanta company. so there's a million reasons why these companies need to be on the ri

this was a hearing scheduled before the massacre in atlanta. the committee says the last time there was a congressional hearing focused on anti-asian hate was in 1987, as far as they can tell. what are the overarching concerns you are hearing? what's come out of this hearing? >> reporter: the concern is more than about just education and awareness. it's about action steps. that's what we are hearing from lawmakers right now as they make some of the opening statements. that's what we expect to hear based on some of the testimony that we have gotten an early look at from daniel day kim as well as john yang from aajc, of course senator tammy duckworth as well. i want to play you sound we heard from congressman steve cohen. >> congress sees you, we stand with you. we will do everything in our power to protect you. any asian hate did not begin with the covid-19 pandemic and will not end when it is over. all the pandemic did was exacerbate prejudices that have a long and ugly history in america. it's an execution for some to act on those. >> reporter

she's there in atlanta. on top of the visit to the cdc, in a few hours president biden and vice president harris will speak to asian american leaders in georgia. jeff bennett, what more do we know about what the president and vice president's message is going to be to them? >> reporter: i'm told that they want to convey their support. this will be the first joint trip by the president and vice president. this visit had been scheduled as part of their so-called help is here tour to tout their $2 trillion -- nearly $2 trillion covid relief package. this trip was already on the books. it was understandably -- the focus was transformed in light of the shootings here in atlanta earlier this week. the bulk of the trip now, both the president and vice president will spend at emory university, meeting in private with asian american community advocates and elected leaders. they will hear them out. beyond that, the president will deliver remarks at around 4:00 p.m. eastern, in the 4:00 hour. i'm told the president and

texas governor greg abbott says he is basically boycotting baseball after they decided to move it from atlanta. he said he will not throw out the first pitch at the mlb game in houston tonight. the crowd at tonight's texas rangers home opener is expected to be the largest for the u.s. sporting event amid the pandemic. the 40,000-seat stadium is reopening at full capacity. >>> all right, that's going to do it for us this hour. chuck is going to be back tomorrow with much more "meet the press daily." you can catch me weekdays on msnbc way too early. my coverage on msnbc continues with my friend katy tur after a quick break. my friend katy tur quick break. they're tv shows. you woke up early. no one cares. yes. so, i was using something called homequote explorer from progressive to easily compare home insurance rates. was i hashtagging? progressive can't help you from becoming your parents, but we can help you compare rates on home insurance with homequote explorer. guess what. the waiter doesn't need to know your name. age before beauty? why not both? visibly diminish wrinkled skin in... crepe c

greg bluestein is the political reporter for the journal atlanta constitution. and he knows the state better than almost and also with me the first asian state senator in georgia's history and will be meeting with president biden later today. georgia is in the house. senator, you were actually on the floor calling for more help and protection for asian americans on monday, the day before the shooting. so is it fair to say you saw this coming? >> i think a lot of people have been asking me how i feel about giving these what they call prescient remarks the day before the mass shooting in atlanta. what i was actually trying to point out in giving the remarks, it wasn't a matter of looking forward to events that might happen, it was looking at events that have been happening not just over the past month or year but over the past decade. calling attention to the fact this is an overlooked issue and racism and violence towards asian americans need more attention. >> greg, it wasn't until last year that georgia it its own hate crime law. is there an appetite in the leg

of what it did to invite atlanta, to embrace atlanta in the 20th and now the 21st century and start to pull back on some of those rewards. >> kevin, there's always this backlash. boycotts are this political tool of last resort but that's where we are. republicans are now pushing state by state by state, cures for a disease that doesn't exist. in the wake of the 2000 recount, voter fraud was investigated and you know, nada, there is not systematic voter fraud and anything that happens, donald trump's the only person under investigation for trying to impact or overturn an election. so, do you think that makes it a slightly easier fit, something that isn't really comfortable for sports to be this active in terms of a boycott of atlanta? >> you know, absolutely. if we hold up sports and sports like to hold -- likes to hold itself up right now in particular, as some sort of model for meritocracy and being in the vanguard of social change, then this is a time for sports to step up. you know, does this mean the atlanta falcons, the atlanta baseball team, the wnba, the dream are going to mo

the lawmaker behind the new executive order mayor of atlanta, keisha lance bottoms. mayor, thank you for being here. what exactly do you want to accomplish with this executive order? the law has already passed. >> well, thank you for having me. and what we want to accomplish is the 1.2 million customers in the metro atlanta area, what this new law means. how they can get the appropriate i.d., the new rules related to absentee ballots. we want our customers to be informed. so ambassador young tells a great story. one day of voting when he first ran for congress and 74% turnout in the african-american community. so even though there may be barriers, we can still overcome those barriers and we want to make sure our customers are informed so they need to know what to do to cast their ballot when the time comes. >> we have heard a lot about no food or water in line, but beyond those headlines what is the most dangerous part of this bill? >> the most dangerous part of this bill, in my opinion, is the dialing back or giving to the state legislature control over the election

yesterday the mlb announced it will pull the game from atlanta. this comes after georgia passed a controversial voting law last week. this morning, atlanta's mayor keisha lance bottoms said there's still time for the governor to make things right. >> it's not too late for the legislature to go back and reconsider this. they are out of session, but the governor certainly can call a special session, have them reconsider this, make tweaks to it so that it is truly a bill that expands access to the right to vote. i think this is just the first of many dominos that will fall in this state, and we are all going to suffer because of it. >> now, this is not just happening in georgia. in less than five weeks, lawmakers across the u.s. have introduced more than 300 restrictive voting bills in just about every state. joining us now is kavitha davidson, a sports and culture writer for "the atlantic." and also coauthor of "loving sports when they don't love you back: dilemmas of the modern fan." welcome to the program. >> thank you. >> what is your sense of th

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

i want to talk first about this latest update coming out from atlanta officials. how have people on the ground been reacting so far with this reluctance to call this shooting a hate crime? >> reporter: yeah, that's unacceptable to this crowd at this point. andrew yang was up on the stage earlier, former presidential candidate, current new york city mayoral candidate and he called this a hate crime. he said these people, these victims were targeted. the event organizer here tells me when he has a bad day, of course alluding to what the spokesperson said in the aftermath, he doesn't go out and murder a certain type of people. so definitely a lot of emotions here at this rally. while it has cleared out a little bit, it's still going on. at one point there were thousands of people here. senator chuck schumer was here earlier today speaking out against this anti-asian american sentiment we've seen in this country. there are rallies going on across the country, san francisco, columbus, in atlanta. here the event organizer tells me it is about taking back the power. at o

atlanta, charlotte will be in the low 80s. new york not bad near 70. even into wednesday, kasie, washington, d.c., 77 degrees. i mean, this is early april. it can be chilly and this is absolutely beautiful. so enjoy it. >> i will take it. bill karins, thank you so much. we'll see you tomorrow, my friend. >>> and still ahead here, despite an investigation into sex trafficking allegations congressman matt gaetz is refusing to step down. we'll tell you what he's saying in a new op-ed. we're back in just a moment. ent. e to turn to cold washing with tide. ♪ this is a cold call! ♪ hello, my name is ice t. can you spare a few seconds to learn about cold water washing with tide? hi my name is steve. did you know washing in cold can save you $100 a year on your energy bill. why wouldn't you turn to cold? it helps the environment. what? because stone cold said so. plus, tide cleans great in cold. ♪ this was a cold call! ♪ the lexus es, now available with all-wheel drive. this rain is bananas. lease the 2021 es 250 all-wheel drive for $339 a month for 39

one, this is not a new dynamic in atlanta. atlanta is the home of the late hank aaron who we lost in january who if this track record is any indication would have had something to say about this voting law and it's not only the process it went through in the legislature but also the passage. he would have spoken out against that. so baseball is the sport where jackie robinson broke the color barrier. baseball is proud of that. atlanta is proud of being the city too busy to hate and there is a real question here as to whether or not the city is going to live up to that moniker now. companies like delta and coca-cola have long been part of what has made -- given atlanta that reputation, that made atlanta and georgia a place that's been able to point to southern neighbors and say we are not south carolina, we are not alabama. we are not mississippi. and now i think the confluence of atlanta and baseball given their kind of -- what they hold -- both of them holding themselves out to be markers of racial progress that confluence ha

it's atlanta as a whole. you can't take these extreme actions that limb the right to the access to vote when we have talked about expanding access with our democracy and not expect people like major league baseball will not take action in return. it's not too late for the legislature to go back and reconsider this. they are out of session. but the governor certainly can call a special session, have them reconsider this. make tweaks to it so it is truly a bill that expands access to the right to vote. but instead what i'm seeing on our local news is that the governor is doubling down, state leaders are doubling down. i think this is just the first of many dominos that will fall in this state. we're all going to suffer because of it. >> to be clear, you did tweet that you don't know the businesses and corporations and everybody that will suffer and it's not too late to right this sinking ship. and you got your vaccine. >> i did get my vaccine. it didn't hurt at all. i woke up the next morning without a sore arm

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

msnbc reporter in atlanta with the latest. good morning. >> good morning, lindsey. it's a chilly morning here in atlanta, after a week of back and forth like you said, between georgia republican lawmakers and now so many of these corporations speaking out in the aftermath of this bill already being signed, extremely restricted measures on voting rights here in the state. it would primarily target the areas around atlanta which we know heavily votes democratic and also tends to be more people of color and voters of color in these communities as well. so it really will make a large impact on the voting base here. but what we saw just yesterday is that the mlb pulling out their all-star game from georgia, and now truist field is a little outside of atlanta and they say the game would no longer take place in the state and they have not yet announced where the game will take place instead, but it comes out and opposes the voting measure as well. i want to read a statement from the mlb commissioner. this is what they said yesterday. major league baseballed ifly supports v

morgan chesky is in noonan, georgia, outside of atlanta, georgia. it's an area, morgan, that was hit just a couple of days ago and now they're having to deal with possible more extreme weather on the way. >> reporter: yeah, kendis, you're right. that severe weather may be making its way through this area later today but i want to talk about that emergency playing out in nashville as we speak. parts of that city have seen 6 inches of rain since saturday. other areas of tennessee upwards of a foot of rain and that's what's leading to these heart breaking scenes coming in overnight of roadways turned to waterways. rescues are being performed from people trapped inside collapsed buildings or even inside their cars as the waters start to rise up. one of the key issues here is that this water has been saturated from prior storms that have been making their way through the south over the past several days and that's why this water has been able to flood so quickly in and around that city. we know that it's not just in nashville that it's been an issue. at

after a week of justified anger and anguish over the senseless killing of eight people in atlanta on tuesday, six of them asian-american women, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in atlanta yesterday to call for an end to violence and hatred directed at asian-americans. it's a conversation that's long overdue given that we've seen nearly 3,800 bias crimes against asian-americans in the past year alone. on thursday, congress held hearings on the issue. generations fresh from being discriminated against generating ideas about strengthening hate crime laws and assisting our asian-american communities. all americans must demand lawmakers follow up on these proposals and pass the best of them into law. and yet at these same proceedings, we saw republicans dig in on a position that is difficult to interpret as anything other than anti-social justice and pro-white grievance. republican congressman chip roy of texas made himself the face of this modern-day, know-nothing movement, trying to sully the hearing about rants about the chinese communist party and bizarre and offensive r

it's going to still be held in atlanta this week. and pga of america said they are not going to move it because of their financial commitment to charity and the local community there. but they also say it shouldn't be construed as indifference, here. but what's behind the decision for pga not to move the masters? and how is it being received? >> you know, the masters is different. we are talking short notice, the masters is. this bill was passed a week ago. and here we are, sitting a week before it happens. >> it was passed a week ago but it had been discussed, before. a lot of people saying, too little, too late for these people. >> they waited too long. and i guess, pga, from what i am hearing there, it was too difficult to do. they have a commitment. and pga is different. i mean, we haven't seen the pga stand up for very much, when it comes to social justice. we haven't seen the major league baseball do this, until just now. this is a first for them. they have been embedded in their own scandals with cheating and performance-enhan

even a statement from the atlanta braves was pretty trash and garbage. this is all very unfortunate. i say, the song that originated out of the protests, you're about to lose your job, brian kemp. that's what this is about. thank you both. you have to come back. i'm so happy you made a big debut today. fernand, you're always welcome, you're always on with me. thank you for taking the time to join us. don't go anywhere at home because up next, how do we counter overpolicing? the city of baltimore may have figured it out. keep it locked here. can i have both? new dove care & protect body wash eliminates 99% of bacteria and moisturizes for hours two for one! can i keep it? new dove care & protect, zero compromise! can i keep it? guy fieri! ya know, if you wanna make that sandwich the real deal, ya gotta focus on the bread layers. king's hawaiian sliced bread makes everything better! ♪ (angelic choir) ♪ and here's mine! ♪♪ >>> this week, marilyn mosley, the baltimore attorney decided to permanently stop prosecuting low-level offenses including drug p

we begin in atlanta, georgia, the epicenter of the battle over election laws. josh lederman is there for us. josh, good morning. any new reaction from democratic lawmakers in georgia? what are they saying? >> reporter: that's right. georgia democrats from both the house and senate are saying, if you think that what is taking place with this new voting law is limited to georgia, think again. they are pointing to similar efforts by republicans in states like arizona, iowa, florida, and texas to take similar measures to restrict access to the ballot box to say that this is a concerted nationwide attempt by republicans to try to change the rules of the game after republicans lost the senate and the white house in november. i want you to hear from two georgia democrats, senator raphael warnock and congresswoman nick kima williams. take a listen. >> these are politicians who are trying to hold on to power. that's what this is. it's a power struggle. and they decided that they are going to hold on to power no matter what. >> if this does not take your mind back to the

governor brian kemp said this morning on fox news about the cancelling of the mlb all-star game in atlanta. i want to listen to this carefully because he makes reference to the reason for the cancellation. he actually addresses the big lie and let's talk about it on the other side. listen for those words. listen for the big lie. >> it is terrible for the fans, it is terrible for the small business owners in the metro atlanta community and our state that was looking forward to hosting this game, and it put a lot of resources into it. all because of a big lie. this is just the cancel culture, and i'm going to tell you the people at home should be scared because their ball game is next, their business will be next, their way of life will be next. it is time to stand up and fight this and just say, look, we are not going to take this anymore. it is ridiculous. >> governor -- >> kimberly, that's some wild code in there. the big lie is known to be the lie about fraud in the election. he called -- he is talking about a big lie being about voting rights. people at home should be scared, their way

just imagine taking a high-speed train chicago to atlanta. most americans wouldn't imagine doing that trip by rail and that's less than beijing and shanghai and they built the most popular high-speed rail line in the world. but just not chicago and atlanta but nashville, indianapolis, all these cities in between that have been left out of this next generation economy. that's why high-speed rail is so significant. yes, i'll be fighting for more but we'll take what we can get and be a start. >> i got to say having traveled orr in europe that's a wonderful high-speed rail from city to city and see the country that way so i applaud those efforts. let's talk about what senator mcconnell is saying about the plan generally. >> as much as we would like to address infrastructure, it is not going to get sun port from our side because i think what the economy -- the last thing the economy needs right now is a big whopping tax increase on all the productive sections of our economy. >> with that no support approach from republicans is this plan going to h

the atlanta mayor is also speaking out against the law today. we've got both aspects covered by nbc's deepa who's covering from atlanta. let's talk about what we heard from mayor keisha lance bottoms who also spoke about this earlier today. >> reporter: you're hearing from democratic and republican leaders about this very kofrl voting bill that was passed by the governor just a little over a week ago, one that really does restrict voting measures in this state, making it really difficult, particularly in the suburbs of this atlanta region, right, communities of color, largely black voters, asian voters, folks who are, you know, turning out in record numbers in this last election like we saw, especially in that special election earlier this year. now harder, essentially, to cast a ballot going forward, and what you're seeing is democratic lawmakers speaking out and kind of saying, you know, this is going to have financial impacts for the state as well and that's something we're already seeing with major league baseball pulling its all-star game o

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

vaughn, allison is in atlanta. vaughn, we will start with you, d.c.'s mayor mariel bowser created black lives matter movement. >> in the ten months since the murder of george floyd, these streets spoke for george floyd in this black lives matter movement. it was these streets that became black lives matter plaza officially here in washington, d.c. john lewis, kamala harris, mitt romney, they all came here. last night i met a grandmother of seven. she was making her way on the city bus just down the road when she heard the verdict was pending. she got off the bus and came back here. meet lisa robinson. >> justice is finally served. black lives matter. we need to be treated as people. >> reporter: it was these streets ten months ago where president trump cleared out people for a photo-op. ten months later just a few dozen folks, peaceful, quiet. and as you heard from lisa robinson, relief. and now a sign, walk humbly with your god. now down to atlanta. >> reporter: we met a man who served in the vietnam war. he said after the '60s, after the war he thoug

there's also the push for gun safety reform in the wake of shootings in atlanta and in boulder. plus biden is also getting ready to push a mass infrastructure package. he has foreign policy challenges escalating with china. and there's also an ongoing global pandemic that has the white house looking to kickstart the economy, sell its massive relief bill and get vaccines into arms as quickly as possible. so 63 days in this is where the biden presidency stands. so much on the agenda but no clear way to get so much of it done. and the president of course is going to be answering questions about all of this tomorrow at his first white house press conference. joining me now is msnbc.com senior white house reporter shannon pettypiece. leanne caldwell. and peter baker, the chief white house correspondent for the "new york times" and also an msnbc political analyst. thank you all for being here. and peter baker, i actually want to start with you because you've covered the beginning of so many presidential administrations and we're still early in president biden's term. i think for all o

it also isn't even in atlanta. it's in the more white county. so it's obvious that they see a business case for doing this for their bottom line, right? they obviously see this because back in the day, these leagues sat back, you know, and allowed all sorts of horrors to go on against black people and didn't do anything. for them to move tells me this is a business decision for them. >> absolutely. this is major league baseball we're talking about. this is a conservative institution, and i think what we're seeing is a reflection of the fact that the gop is not willing to look itself in the mirror and ask the question, what is so noxious about us? what is so toxic about our agenda that even major league baseball is not willing to stand with us? because that, to me, would be a wake-up call instead of saying major league baseball is now part of the commie fascist agenda. they don't know which way is up. texas legislators today, joy, introduced legislation on making it mandatory to play the national anthem before sporting events. so do they want pol

. >>> in the last hour, atlanta mayor talked about a decision that she announced last night that really took the political world by surprise. she's not going to run for re-election. this is part of what she said last hour. >> in the same way that it was very clear to me almost five years ago that i should run for mayor of atlanta, it is abundantly clear to me today that it is time to pass the baton on to someone else. >> she was first elected in 2017 and is only the second woman to hold the position there in atlanta. she got quite a bit of national attention last year at president biden considered her as a running mate at one point. political world is wondering what bottoms will do next. so far, she's not saying. >>> we expect to see and hear from president biden. he will talk about those new lower than expected jobs numbers. we will bring that to you live when the president starts. >>> an nbc exclusive with west virginia republican senator shelly moore capito. why she thinks she can get a bipartisan deal on infrastructure with the white house and her own party. >>> first, an all night

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
