enterprises, a company in atlanta. she was a bookkeeper, but soon caught the eye of her boss, billy corey. >> there were some people working there that weren't really doing their jobs, and she told him she could do their job and her job. i think he fired them and she did their job. >> it was back in the '80s when dani jo and diane first teamed up. best friends and confidants. dani jo was a cosmetologist with a front row seat to diane's brilliant career. >> she loved crunching numbers. and along with billy corey, i think she learned how to wheel and deal. >> she rose through the ranks. and with her boss' blessing became president of the company. hiring, firing, and calling the shots. >> she would say, i don't want to hear about the labor pains, just show me the baby. >> jay grove waters a vice president at diane's company. >> when she started in business here in atlanta, there were not a ton of female executives. >> no. absolutely. and i think that's what -- one of the things that really set diane apart. i mean, she was

the city of atlanta is a small part of what we call the atlanta metropolitan statistical area.e every county and every city doing this, we're simply not going to be able to control the disease in the city of atlanta, let alone the state. and i understand, and i see where the governor of georgia is reluctant, i understand where the president is reluctant, but i couldn't agree more with mr. gates. we either do this fully or we're doing it partially. i think lifting the restrictions from the 1918 flu pandemic, if you lift the restrictions too early, you tend to get a streak that's worse than the first one. >> i read the same one, and the second time around was actually worse in that case. the president's idea is based on the idea that you can determine with some certainty which area is high risk, which is medium risk and which is low risk, but how do you do that given the testing has been so patchwork in this country and, in fact, has not been available. do you know? >> you don't. i think you can look at the health care system, you can look at how overwhelmed your hospitals are, b

but by 1977, the progress had seemed to slow in atlanta. what was really ironic about it was that the city, by 1977, had its first african-american mayor, maynard jackson. jackson had been deputy mayor of atlanta in 1970 when the earlier strike happened. courageously, he broke with his mayor, a white mayor and said, you have got to help these sanitation workers. their wages, he said, are a disgrace before god. in fact, he helped to turn public opinion and help win that strike for the strikers. he then went on to become elected mayor in 1973 with the help of that union and with the help of the guy lehman hood. once he became mayor of atlanta, he turned and he felt he needed to build support among the white business establishment of the city. it would look bad, he felt, if he caved in as he saw it to the demands of the city's workers, even the sanitation workers, who had struggled over the years and their wages in 1977 were still poor. they went out on strike. jackson refused to negotiate with them. in fact, he issued an ultimatum. you return

what's the atlanta version of that? are you doing that in atlanta?tive model that i've seen, at this rate, by may 3rd, we will exceed our capacity for our hospitals. so, what's happening now is with the help and the leadership of the state government and governor, we are already scouting locations within atlanta. the metropolitan atlanta area, to create additional hospital beds and create additional space for health care. and it's the reason that i took what was at that time an extreme measure in our state, and i instituted a stay-at-home order. i am very pleased to say that even over just the last day, many other cities throughout the state have followed that order. because we don't have a stay-at-home order statewide. there are many counties that still don't have infections yet, but obviously, we can see where this is headed. so, we will continue to work with our governor. and as he continues to work with federal government to try and be as ready as we possibly can, so that he goes just down the road to albany, georgia, they are already overwhelmed

atlanta is about 500,000 people.e a about six million people in atlanta. >> when you see the president say, look, there's some hot spots and bad places and other places that can get back to work. do you think that's acceptable or we're not there because it is such high risk anywhere that it can spread? >> clearly if we all follow the science and we would understand we are nowhere near able being able to get back to normal and to message that to the american people is wreckless. it's about saving lives. what we know from the science and what we know from looking at new york and kcalifornia and so many other places is we have to take extreme measures to stop the spread of this virus. until recently people not begun to take it seriously and that has to do with the messages that were coming out of the white house and i'm glad -- >> let me ask you about that if i could. i know we're on a slight tape delay. i want to ask you a little more of that. when you say that message is getting out and is undercutting your work or pu

i saw in atlanta. many of our communities have underlying health conditions like asthma. i have four children in my house who are asthmatic. we know that that's an underlying health condition. whether it's high blood pressure or diabetes or respiratory issues or lupus or any number of other issues, and so i think especially for our more densely populated cities like atlanta and our surrounding cities, i do think a stay at home order would be appropriate. but i certainly understand that there are many other cities throughout the state that are not navigating the same challenges that we are in the city and i understand and respect the governor's decisi decision. >> we're hearing from medical professionals in different hospitals that they are already crowded and the icu's are struggling. we heard from grady on monday that they were at the tippingpoint. talk to us about plans that you have in place for the state's largest hospitals that are in your city. >> we have to remember that grady is already in a co

in atlanta, they are at full capacity. we'll speak to the mayor of atlanta in a few minutes about how she's handling thing. in miami, residents have been ordered to shelter in place and ron desantis is taking pressure to take similar action statewide. in west virginia, the last state in america to report a confirmed case of a coronavirus infected person, that governor today jim justice said their numbers have jumped dramatically. you could even add rural iowa to the list of states declaring major disaster declarations in order to get federal government reimbursements that have been approved by the president. nationwide, as of this afternoon, the number of confirmed races has surged past 60,000. it bears repeating that those numbers are probably low balling the actual case load because of the testing shortages and backlogs. more grimly there were more than 225 deaths yesterday alone compared to just 18 last tuesday. and let me give you another grim picture. it was march 17th that we recorded our 100th death. tomorrow, nine

you are from atlanta, originally?o. i've been here for a while, but i'll always love atlanta. >> jimmy: which would you love more, l.a. or prison? >> l.a. of course. >> jimmy: do you miss atlanta? do you miss being there? >> especially because my people are there. grandparents, best friend. the food is amazing there. i miss the food as well. >> jimmy: what do you miss, particularly? i'm always interested in this. i was in atlanta once and had some excellent, excellent meals. i discovered smoked chicken wings there, which i'd never had before. >> exactly. atlanta will give it all to you. but i missed waffle house. i always get the all-star. >> jimmy: waffle house, really? >> it sounds simple. but we don't have it here, and it's something i miss so much. and my uncle actually owns a restaurant called burger baby. when you pull up, it's like in a gas station. so some people would be apprehensive going in, but i know my uncle. i know he runs a very clean business. and when you have those, like surf and turf burgers, your

the majority of them are in and around the atlanta area.oined by if mayor of atlanta keisha lance bottoms. thank you so much for your time. you just announced, as i understand it, you're creating a coronavirus pandemic coordination team for folks who also don't know this, the cdc, of course, headquartered in atlanta. what are your biggest concerns right now, mayor? >> our biggest concerns right now really is how do we lead during this pandemic. by that i mean we can't wish competence upon the white house right now. we are having to look locally and at the state level on what, if anything, we can do to impact -- that will positively impact our communities. i can say that we have a republican governor in georgia, and obviously i am a democrat mayor. we have worked seamlessly together, and i think that's the best we can hope for, coordination across partisan lines as we deal with this. what we've done in atlanta, though, is even gone a step further and really think through what policies and initiatives can we put in place to make sure that the

atlanta public schools and city hall have closed. the mayor just banned large gatherings of more than 250 people. with me now, the atlanta mayor, keshia lance bottom, appointed to the state task force to come up with best practices. always a pleasure to have you on. i hope you're staying well through all of this. let's start with your big announcement to limit gatherings of people to a maximum of 250. the cdc there in atlanta capped it at 50. i'm curious why not follow cdc's numbers, cdc protocol? >> thank you forring havi inhav brooke. i want to stress how close to home this is for all of us as i saw the announcement about idris elba. my oldest son and idris' daughter are classmates. i think that really should tell -- stress to the entire nation that we are but a few degrees of separation from one another. but to your question on the 250 person ban, i literally was signing that ban as the announcement was coming from the cdc on the 50 person limit. and so we will update that with another executive order today. this is very fluid. bu

one of the hardest working drag queens in atlanta georgia. she is. a drag reformer a community organizer a proud parent of 2 kept. and. it's really about creating art that people can connect to i know that's very cliche but i think for people who kind of share my background and my various identities finding something that they can connect to is really important i want to ask what is a d.i.y. performance artist as and what is a do it yourself performance artist and what was your journey to become one. performance artist is a fancy way of saying that i do i create most of everything that i do so with my music i write i produce a creative director. i'm my own from owner and manager there's no force or label that's behind me to push my music i'm the driving force. and really that 'd reflects itself in every single aspect of my life you know being a performer in atlanta being a community organizer a lot of what i do is grassroots from the roots from starting with nothing ending up with something and knowing that you know it's all uniquely organic in a way

we'll have atlanta's mayor coming up. in food? try pepto diarrhea. pepto® diarrhea is proven effective to treat symptoms, and it also targets the cause of diarrhea. the 3 times concentrated liquid formula coats and kills bacteria to relieve diarrhea. while the leading competitor does nothing to kill the bacteria, pepto® diarrhea gets to the source, killing the bad bacteria. so, try pepto® diarrhea, and remember to have it on hand every time you travel. also try pepto®-bismol liquicaps for on-the-go relief. could another come aroundot, the corner. or could it play out differently? i wanted to help protect myself. my doctor recommended eliquis. eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. almost 98% of patients on eliquis didn't experience another. and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart

atlanta, houston. you look at the top 25 cities that is majority black, the unemployment rate for black men is preposterous. host:host: we will get a response thank you. guest: i would ask the caller to take a look at those numbers again. particularly in atlanta. atlanta is thriving and you 6.9t get to a 5.9 or unemployment rate with black men at 15%. there is a problem in some of the northern and midwestern cities that have been run by democrats for 70 years. they have so destroyed the infrastructure the schools are caused they have problems with minority employment opportunities. one of the things in addition to supporting school choice and not killing 20 million black babies the current administration has pursued criminal justice reform and is involved with other steps for nonviolent nonsexual offenders to smooth their way back into this which is a local issue. you need to find a way to house the felons because in many places that cannot get housing. you need to find a way to address driver's licens

the wait times here in atlanta, they were only about 10 or 15 minutes above average. but again, those enhanced screenings are going to be continuing for quite some time, andrea. >> but people are huddled together. you see them clustered together. these are people who are some coming from, as you point out, these high-risk areas. this is absolutely contradictory to all of the guidance. >> reporter: and that's exactly what passengers were pointed out and what they were so concerned about. as you heard some of the passengers talking about it. in fact, i asked a cbp official about that, what is the issue there. and he talked about the fact that you, in some places, saw jets that were delayed, saw planes that were delayed, so this kind of critical mass of passengers landing around the same time led to a lot of the backup that you saw over the weekend, andrea. >> blayne alexander in atlanta, thank you, and joe fryer in california, there's a real crisis developing at hospitals. what are the shortages there? is it beds? is it equipment? is it staff? >> reporter: there's a lot

joining me now is the mayor of atlanta. we appreciate you taking the time to join us.i know you postponed the state of the city address as i understand it and are considering a ban on large gatherings in atlanta. what is the status of that plan? >> it is really interesting, erica, to see how quickly things have changed. as of wednesday we were even contemplating if it was prudent to cancel our state of the city and then in just a few short hours it became abundantly clear that we needed to discourage large gatherings. i think like the rest of the world we are seeing and processing information in real time. what we've been doing on a local level is giving consideration to what it is that we can do. so, for example, this week i signed an executive order that has said we will not disconnect service for our customers. we've encouraged our corporate partners in the city to do the same. as of last night georgia power, our largest utility provider, has said they will not disconnect customers. we are also working with our school system and have a plan in place to provide food

traffickers use atlanta as a hub, treating human life like it is a commodity.hortly after taking office, we created the grace commission to help poor aid efforts to help and modern day slavery in our state. under leadership under our first lady marty kemp, they raise awareness and partnered with elective officials in law enforcement, nonprofit organizations, and those that have been in the trenches for here years fighting human trafficking. they had traveled the state to sound the alarm and urge action. during this time, marty has met some incredibly inspirational georgian's who devoted their lives to help another. today in the gallery, we are honored to have katie, show me got, and nikki. sadly, these women have something in common. they were trafficked as kids, robbed of their innocence and childhood. forced to see and experience things that we cannot imagine. but these women are survivors. they are fighters and they are powerful advocates more willing to turn georgia into a safe haven for those who have no voice. who exist in the shadows, and who need an all

if sherman does not take atlanta, does lincoln lose? if atlanta is not taken, will mcclellan necessarily sue for peace? i think he would have lost and i think mcclellan would have sued for peace. i knew i could do one easy answer. can you comment on lincoln's love of the opera? there was an opera performed at the second inaugural. i do know that when he was in new york in 1861 on his way to the first inaugural and he stayed at the astor house, he went to the opera. he caused great comment because he wore black gloves instead of white gloves. immediately everybody thought he was a bumpkin. it was the new york premiere of a verdi opera. i don't know why i remember that. but they stopped the performance when he came in. he was always late to the theater. they stopped performance. they brought down the fire curtain and they played "hail to the chief." he was an interrupter of opera anyway.

atlanta's fairytale debut goes on, the quarter—finals, but this game is full of goals stopping atlantaalty, kevin romero equalised for valencia, and they gave away actually second penalty of the game for him copy when you think it's all done, the level it up again and then valencia go in front, could that be a late chance will come back? but then too late goals complete the hat—trick, an incredible night for atla nta's. there was one match in the spain's la liga on tuesday. real sociedad's 2—1 win at eibar lifted the san sebastian side above atletico madrid and getafe up to fourth and just a point off third place. another day and more sport either cancelled or played behind closed doors, as the coronavirus continues to play havoc with the sporting calendar across the globe, so let's take a look at some news just in where. in the last hour manchester city's premier league match due to be played at home to arsenal later on wednesday has been postponed. it's emerged some of the arsenal personnel have been in contact with olympiacos owner, evangelos marinakis, who has been named as a posit

i think they may have tested one person in the atlanta airport. they have over 300,000 people go through there a day. that test was negative. and so i mean it is safe to travel right now. people just need to be very careful, do the things that the cdc and dr. and secretary azar and the vice president and his task force are telling people to do, and that's, you know, keep your hands clean, just be careful where you are going if you are sick. don't go to the airport if are sick. >> he was very impressed how hard it was to get on the plane. he was tested two times and one person said three times just to come in. we are watching it very closely. the people are doing a good job. instead of being negative, you should be positive. these scientists are doing a phenomenal job with something that came from out of nowhere a very short time ago. >> not trying to be negative trying to let people understand where to get the facts. he said [inaudible] can you tell me exactly how many people as of right now can be tested? you told me yesterday he thought it would

particularly in atlanta. it is thriving. you cannot get to a 5.9% or 6% on appointment rate with black men at 18%. there is a problem in some of the northern and midwestern cities that had been run by democrats for 70 years. that is they have destroyed the infrastructure, the schools are , they have caused problems with minority employment opportunities. one of the things in addition to supporting school choice and not killing 20 million black babies, the current administration has pursued criminal justice reform that is involved with other steps for nonviolent, non-sexual --enders to smooth their way which is also a local issue. you need to find a way to house. in many places, they cannot get housing. you need to find a way to address driver's license issues because many times their driver's licenses are no good and they will be back in court driving without a license. is, theom line expansion, the economy, raising wages helps all boats and it helped black americans close the gap faster than anybody else. host: in the book,

is that any reason why you are not going to atlanta today? pres. trump: they had one person who was potentially infected. speaking of that, i would like to go. you guys are trying to work that out. i was going to tennessee first. i was stopping in atlanta and then going down to florida for meetings. i think that they are trying to that they are trying to work it out. i had not heard that. i heard one person, and because of the one person, at a high level because of the one person, , they did not want me going. i would prefer going. now the one person the test came , out negative, we are going to try and go. the most powerful man in all of media. come on. he has a little something to do with the wall street journal, i don't know if you know. this is real power, right? you used to do what they do. he did it so well. he is the boss at news corp.. of course rupert has something to say. good to have you, good to have you. they treat me very nicely, the media. right except the wall street , journal. >> [indiscernible] sandwiching -- panicking. last night
