so i'll start with you. >> it's about 30 minutes. >> i know, right? yeah, about 30 minutes. so the president made news tonight on vaccines, getting back to pre-pandemic life. give us some of the headlines. >> yeah. when it comes to vaccines, he was asked by anderson, when is it going to be that there are enough vaccines for anybody who wants want to get one? and for that timeline, he said that's end of july. just earlier today we heard dr. fauci said it could be around may or june when it starts to -- those restrictions of who can get one starts to fall away. but president biden said end of july is what they're looking at. but, don, he had that really important caveat that that does not mean everyone's going to have one by the end of july because then of course the next challenge is going to be administering those vaccines. so that's going to be a big question. but what yhe said about christmas, that was some news worthy headlines. he was asked when is this going to start look like normal again? when will life start to look like normal again? and he says he believes it's around christmas when you're going to start to see those differences in the restrictions of what people can do, how they can gather, those kinds of situations. that's a surprising timeline given what we've seen from when the vaccines are going to be available, but that's what president biden says he's gleaned from meeting with his experts and having those conversations. >> he talked about getting kids back to school. how does this compare to what we have seen and what we've been hearing from his administration? >> so this is a really good question because this is a massive debate happening in the country right now. and the other day, we heard the white house press secretary define biden's campaign promise of guesetting the majority scho reopened in his first 100 days is having schools open one day a week for physical in-classroom learning. that seems to be a pretty far cry from what he said on the campaign trail. he said that was a miscommunication. so the question of what that's going to look like by the end of the 100 days is still a big one. high schools, he said, is another matter given the level of spread that changes from the age group of the children. and then he even suggested this idea of having summer school potentially as basically another semester in school given how much time in the classroom children have missed out on in this last year. so i think still a lot of questions, but he said that his goal about what a majority of schools being open is still five days a week by the end of his first 100 days for k through 8. >> nia, i want to ask you about the package for getting covid relief and getting americans back on track. did he make the case? do you think the president made the case for this $1.9 trillion package and money more the american people? >> well, what's interesting about this package that he has proposed is that it's actually widely popular among americans. 60%, 70% almost approve of this. it's also popular among republican governors and state and local officials because it will mean something for their municipalities to help them through this health and economic crisis. the question is has he convinced people in washington? republican senators, some of whom have signaled that they may be open to a smaller package, a more piecemeal effort. you saw biden there saying now is the time to go big. he's got the votes mainly from democrats. there's some moderate democrats, people like joe manchin, who might be on the fence on some of these issues but by and large it looks like he's going to be able to get this through with just democratic votes and not need republicans at all. but i do think he did connect with americans. he connected particularly with that little girl where he assured her don't be scared. you likely can't get covid. you won't get it from your parents. so that i think real human touch -- >> nia, can we listen to that? since you brought it up, let's listen to it and then we'll finish it up. here it is. >> children often ask if they will catch covid and if they do, will they die? they're watching as others get the vaccine, and they would like to know when will kids be able to get the vaccine? >> first of all, honey, what's your first name? >> layla. >> layla. beautiful name. first of all, kids don't get the vaccine -- get covid very often. it's unusual for that to happen, and it's not likely mommy and daddy are able to spread it to you either. so i wouldn't worry about it, baby. i promise you. but i know it's kind of worrisome. are you in first grade, second grade? >> second. >> oh, you're getting old. second grade. well, has your school -- have you been in school, honey? >> no. >> no. see, that's kind of a scary thing too. you don't get to go to school. you don't get to see your friends. so what a lot of kids -- and i mean and big people too, older people, they just -- their whole lives have sort of changed like when it used to be. it used to be let's go outside and play with your friends and get in the schoolbus and go to school, and everything was normal. now when things change, people get really worried and scared. but don't be scared, honey. don't be scared. you're going to be fine, and we're going to make sure mommy's fine too. >> is it important to see that empathy coming from the president of the united states right now? >> so important not only for kids, for average americans too, adults. i think a lot of americans are hitting a bit of a brick wall in terms of dealing with this pandemic. it has changed our lives drastically. almost half a million people dead from this and many thousands more infected and sick. so a real moment and classic joe biden. this is a forum that he has shined in because he's just a man of fundamental human decency. he, himself, has gone through difficulties in his own life, so he is able to relate to people in similar situations. so a real, real touching moment for him that i think a lot of americans draw some relief from. don't be scared. help is on the way. and part of that help is obviously this almost $2 trillion relief package that he is hoping to get through the senate next month. >> i'm glad you brought up that little girl so we could play that and have the american people hear it. kaitlan, i want to play another moment from the town hall. biden was asked about his predecessors. here it is. >> have you picked up the phone and called any former president yet? >> yes, i have. >> do you want to say who? >> no, i don't. they're private conversations. but by the way, all of them have -- with one exception, picked up the phone and called me as well. >> okay. so we know who he probably called. all of his former predecessors, kaitlan, and one didn't -- i mean, duh. it really says so much, doesn't it? >> i don't know. someone joked on my twitter feed tonight that it was maybe jimmy carter who had not called president biden yet. >> maybe it was barack obama. >> i think without saying it, the implication was clear, especially given how we've seen how former president trump has responded, given his second impeachment trial happening this week. but that was a notable moment tonight of just how much president biden did not want to talk about his predecessor. and we were talking earlier. you know, donald trump kind of loomed in the background of his first several weeks in office given that trial, given his comments, his refusal to acknowledge biden or even call him as he pointed out tonight. so i think what you're seeing here is kind of this turn to where all the focus is going to be on biden and his agenda and how they handle this pandemic and vaccine distribution. and at one point in the night, he referred to former president trump as that former guy when he was asked in other situations, he says he just doesn't want to talk about him. so he is willfully trying to turn the page from those four years in office. >> there's something i have to agree, and i wondered if he was talking about us because he said the next four years should be about the american people. i'm done talking about donald trump. i mean there is a whole lot of truth in that. there's one president in office at a time. nia, the president was also asked about division in the country. take a listen. >> the nation is not divided. you go out there and take a look and talk to people. you have fringes on both ends, but it's not nearly as divided as we make it out to be. and we have to bring it together. you may remember i said there were three reasons i was running. one to restore the soul of the country, decency, honor, integrity, talk about the things that matter to people, treat people with dignity. secondly, i said to rebuild the backbone of the country, the middle class and this time bring everybody along and have a chance. and the third reason was unite the country. in my own primary, i got unite the country, what are you talking about? you cannot function in our system without consensus other than abusing power at the executive level. so i really think there's so many things that we agree on, that we don't focus enough on, and that's in large part, i think, because we don't just condemn the things that are so obviously wrong. >> so this nation is not divided? really? >> i know. i have to say i had the same reaction that you did. this is him really trying to paint a much rosier picture than actually exists. this is a country that is incredibly divided along party lines, which also overlap with racial lines, along class lines, which also obviously have a racial component as well. it's incredibly divided. there are two different parties that have two different takes on reality. one sort of lives in reality, and another doesn't. one sort of flirts with conspiracy theories, and another doesn't. so, listen, i mean joe biden knows that the country is divided. otherwise he wouldn't be saying that this is a battle for the soul of america and that there needs to be some unity. so there was a bit of, you know, painting a much brighter picture, i think, than actually exists in this country because there's so much work to do. and joe biden knows that, right? this is a president who talks more about systematic racism than any other president we've seen in this country's history. he knows what that has meant for the ways in which black and white people live differently and are treated differently in this country. so this notion that america is just one big, happy country, that isn't borne out by the way americans lived, and frankly that's never been the case in american history. you can't really point to any period in american history where there was sort of this kumbaya spirit, you know, where everybody was getting along and everybody felt united and equally invested in the country and equally protected in this country either. so there you had joe biden, i think, a little off message in not really leveling with the american people. >> well, it was a good old college try as we say, nia. but i think you're right on in your point. you think about it. you know, we do have divisions now, and the divisions are stark but also not that long ago, we had a division. we had separate water fountains and that certainly was a huge divide as well. >> right. >> thank you very much, both of you. good to see you. kaitlan, i mean, you know, any more appearances you want to make on the show before it's over? >> i'll hang out here just in case you want me to come back. >> all right. you guys be safe. it's good to see you. take care. so president biden calling for what he calls common sense gun law reforms. next, i'm going to talk with congresswoman lucy mcmath. you might remember her son jordan was shot and killed in 2012 by a man who complained about his loud music. the congresswoman writing an emotional open letter to her son today on what would have been his 26th birthday. here's what she writes. she says, i do this work for you now, to honor your legacy and make sure that young people like you have a bright future and a chance to thrive. congresswoman lucy mcbath, there she is. i can't wait to talk to you. that's right after this break. want to brain better?

president biden tonight in his cnn town hall calling on the united states to deal with systemic racism. he also condemned the rise of white supremacy. joining me now, democratic congresswoman lucy mcbath. congresswoman, thank you so much for joining. i really appreciate it. i can't wait to have this conversation with you. there's so much to talk about. and you heard the president tonight addressing issues of racial justice in this country. how important is it to hear -- is that to hear from the leader of this country? >> extremely and vitally important to hear that, don. these are the kinds of words and sentiments that we've needed to hear. yes, there's a great deal of work that needs to be done with the divisiveness and rhetoric we've heard over the last four years. so to hear that this administration is willingly and really wanting to make sure that they're dedicated towards moving us in a direction where we are beginning to make sure that there's equity for everyone and there's a sense of respect and decency for every person in this country is long overdue, and i'm really glad and excited to see the country moving in this direction. >> the president is also promoting his covid relief plan. listen to what he said. >> the fact is that the economy now has to be dealt with, and look at all the people. you have over 10 million people unemployed. we need unemployment insurance. we need to make sure that, you know, you have 40% of the children in america talk about food shortage. 60% of -- did you ever think you'd see a day in milwaukee, you'd see in the last six months people lining up in their automobiles for an hour for as far as you can see to get a bag of food? this is the united states of america for god's sake. we can't deal with that? >> congresswoman, do you think more public support could pressure some republican lawmakers to get onboard? >> absolutely. i think we need to be doing everything in our power right now to make sure that we support relief that is so badly needed for the american citizens. people are still hurting. as the president has said, it's going to take some time for us to be able to come through this pandemic successfully, making sure that everyone -- there is no, you know, food insecurity, that our children are educated again, making sure that our frontline workers are safe as they're providing provisions and services to us. we've got a long way to go. >> let's talk about the $15 minimum wage because biden making the case tonight. but there are moderate democrats in the senate like joe manchin who aren't onboard with this. what will the house do if the senate sends back a bill that strips the minimum wage increase? >> well, i believe that, you know, of course we cannot control what the senate does. but i know that the house has been committed for some time in making sure that we are increasing the minimum wage. of course, no one can afford to live on $7.25 an hour, and we have to make sure people have a livable wage, especially now with covid-19. as i said, people are suffering, so we've got to make sure that we are putting people in a position where they're able to thrive again, making sure that they have a livable wage, that they can take care, put food on their table, make sure their children are educated. that is the direction that we need to be going forward to. so i know that my colleagues and i in the house are committed towards making sure that we are giving people that sense and that ability to have a livable wage, to be able to make sure that the economy works for them. >> i want to talk to you about something that's very difficult, but it is -- you have made it the mission of your life, and one of the reasons that you became a congresswoman, maybe the reason. and that is i want to talk about your son jordan. 26th birthday today, right? he was senselessly killed back in 2012 after being shot by a man who complained about loud music coming from a car that jordan was in. you posted a very moving letter to your son on twitter, and i just -- i want to read part of it, okay? you said, i do this work for you now, to honor your electricsy and make sure that young people like you have a bright future and a chance to thrive, to fix the laws that have created this gun violence epidemic, to confront systemic racism, to address the climate crisis and all that ails america. do you have confidence, congresswoman, that progress will be made on those issues with a biden administration now in place? >> i have absolute confidence. and as president biden has stated over and over again, he has laid out his complete national plan going forward as to what he expects to be able to accomplish within the next four years. and he is a man who truly, really cares. he's got a wealth of experience, all the years that politically he's been working on these kinds of policies. so this is nothing new to him, and he has the compassion and the wisdom and the sense of determination and strength that it takes to really kind of bring the country back together. and so i have no doubt that he will work as quickly as he possibly can. but there again, as he has stated, it's going to take time. it's going to take time to heal the wounds that ail us now as americans. and so i look forward to being able in congress to help him put forth all the efforts and policies that we need to put america back on its feet again. >> yeah, and we're looking at beautiful pictures of jordan. is that one right behind you? >> oh, yes. actually, i'm so proud of -- this is a brand-new piece. >> it's beautiful. >> of artwork that was given to me actually today by a beautiful artist here in atlanta. >> wow, i had no idea. i was just noticing. i was like, that is a really beautiful piece, and i think it's jordan behind her. i wanted to ask. i couldn't see, but it's really beautiful. thank you for telling us that, congresswoman. >> thank you. >> let's talk more about gun violence because this is your mission. sunday was the third anniversary of the parkland shooting. president biden put out a statement calling on congress to enact common sense gun laws, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. how does this get done with republican opposition in a 50-50 split in the senate? >> well, of course i know that we can't control the senate. we're not going to be able to control what they do. but i know that we've already had some success in the house. of course last year with the cdc, i was able to lead a letter with all my colleagues which actually helped to secure $25 million for the cdc to study the effects of gun violence. so we are making some progress, and i do believe that based upon what we've seen with, you know, the insurrection at the capitol and the everyday gun violence, not just only mass shootings, but the everyday gun violence, that the country still continues to be plagued by in our communities, i truly believe that my republican colleagues in the senate also know that this is not a democratic issue. this is not a republican issue. this is a public health crisis that has to be addressed and that i don't believe there's one person that can honestly say they don't know of someone or some instance within their community, family, or whatever that someone has not been affected by gun violence. so i know that i will continue to work as hard as i possibly can. i'll be talking with my -- talking with republican senators myself, trying to really help move the needle forward and continue to do everything that i can to make sure that i'm saving as many lives as i can. >> i am so thankful that you're here and grateful that you would share today especially with us and with our audience, with the american people. thank you, congresswoman. be well. >> thank you. you too. >> thanks. next, a former president coming out with a nasty personal takedown of senator mitch mcconnell. no surprise, right? declaring war on his own party. and ahead, why the naacp is suing trump. it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute? but what have you been doing for the last two hours? delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. now that's simple, easy, awesome. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. so as president biden was answering questions from americans in our town hall, the former president ripped into mitch mcconnell with a blistering personal attack, calling him a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, going on to say if republican senators are going to stay with him, they are not going to win again and even threatening to get involved in primary challenges against republicans who didn't support him, writing that he will back primary rivals who espouse making america great again and our policy of america first. so joining me now, amanda carpenter and brendan buck. good evening. i mean y'all, you know, can he just go away? i mean he's so -- he's such a negative force. it's like we have such a great conversation about getting the american people back on track, trying to get the coronavirus behind us, and then we have him calling somebody dour and it's just -- it's just disgusting. brendan, i'm sorry. president trump, i mean he just fired a warning shot, a threat to keep other republicans in line. is this going to work? how much longer is this going to work when he doesn't have the bully pulpit and he has been stained by insurrection? >> well, i don't think there's any real evidence that his power has waned at all since he left office. there was a poll out just this morning that showed him with 53% of the vote among republicans, wiping out the other 20 or so that they talked about. but i actually am really excited about this conflict between donald trump and mitch mcconnell. look, there aren't a whole lot of people -- >> you look excited. >> -- going after the president. i am excited because, look, this is always going to be messy. if we are going to move on from donald trump t was going to be messy. there was going to have to be conflict. there was going to have to be republicans being the ones who take him on. people who support him live in little ecosystem bubbles. they don't hear us. they don't hear us screaming that we're so fed up with, you know, what he did tonight and all of these things. you need republicans going after him. you need people like mitch mcconnell who are willing to say it. i know amanda probably doesn't want to give mitch mcconnell too much credit for it because he's not pure on this, but we can't wait for purity. we need anybody we can get who will finally say something. >> i do think he has a point. you do need republicans like major going after him. go on. >> yeah. i would like to see mitch mcconnell do it because mitch mcconnell's the person that backed president trump in two elections and acquitted him twice. so no wonder trump and the rest of the maga media universe is mad at mitch mcconnell because it seems like a betrayal. i just don't know -- yes, i want people to fight trump and trumpism, but we need to be very clear about what we're fighting. the substance of donald trump's long release today was not about calling mitch mcconnell nasty names. he was setting up a litmus test for the 2022 primaries, which revolves around the big election lie. he is laying the groundwork now, and i guarantee you that will be the litmus test for trump's support in 2022. who won the election? donald trump? was it a fair election, or was it rigged? these are not questions that many republicans can answer clearly yes or no, biden or trump, fair or rigged. that deeply concerns me. and part of the reason that is so ingrained into the electorate on the republican side is because people like mitch mcconnell went along with it for so long. and even today while mitch mcconnell gives that big speech on the senate floor about how we have to move on, he's giving interviews saying, well, you know what? i'll back whatever republicans can win. so, okay, so is he going to back lara trump when she wins the republican nomination in north carolina campaigning on the big lie? hey, i guess so. so don't count me as too excited and welcoming mitch mcconnell to the fight quite yet. >> yeah. it's so -- it's mind-boggling to me considering all of the court cases that were lost by republican judges, republican electors, republican secretaries of state, and people -- and trump-appointed, some of them, many of them, and the supreme court, that people are still saying the election was stolen or rigged. it is like -- >> reality versus not reality. >> moon bat territory. listen, brendan, fox news, sean hannity critical of mcconnell, even going as far as suggesting that republicans in the senate might need new leadership. here it is. >> -- clear that seven republican senators have voted to convict donald trump and other republicans who have turned their backs on the former president are way out of touch with the base of their own party. where is the sanctimonious mitch mcconnell. the time is now coming for new leadership in the u.s. senate. >> brendan, mitch mcconnell of all people. i mean like it just -- he carried so much water, i'm sure his arms must hurt. so he should like have giant muscles. can they really replace mcconnell? >> there's little -- there's very little that donald trump accomplished that you can't thank mitch mcconnell for actually getting done. but this actually feels very quaint and sort of like it's normalizing. sean hannity's entire shtick is going after republican leadership and telling republican voters why they're bad. this isn't a fair fight for mitch mcconnell. i don't want to suggest that it is. and he's got people like sean hannity and all kinds of senators who will probably take donald trump's side. but i think mitch mcconnell understands that. mitch mcconnell is just a political animal, and i think we have to accept that's what he is. and when he's looking at it and saying, i don't want to elect maybe like a kelli ward in arizona or nominate them where you know they're never going to win, i think taking -- you know, being somewhat a realist when you come to the politics of it is actually the best we could hope for. we can't just assume that, poof, it's all going to go away. we need to take steps towards becoming a normal party again, and i think that starts with at least having that fight. so i'm glad he's doing it. >> brendan is excited about this rift between trump and mcconnell. look at that. this is glee for him. that's excited for brendan buck. >> i'm just not sure where the rift is. where is the meat on the bones for this fight? >> you're right. there's no real "there" there except that he said the president is responsible. still, he still voted to acquit him, and he voted with the president like 99.999% of the time. >> but this is the highest-ranking republican in the country saying that the former president of his own party is responsible for an insurrection, was feeding people lies. i know that you wanted him to be there earlier, but we got to take any converts we can get and anybody coming over to this side if you're going to be able to make the point. >> my question is how does that draw the line for the people that want to follow trump's playbook and campaign on a fraudulent election in future races? that's my big outstanding question. >> yeah. well, we'll have to see about that. let's so who runs next. i'll see you guys soon. thank you very much. so senators didn't convict trump, but could the naacp beat him in court? they're suing him for inciting the insurrection at the capitol. plus a spike in disturbing attacks on asian-americans sparking urgent calls for action. down? it could be a sign that your digestive system isn't working at its best. taking metamucil everyday can help. metamucil psyllium fiber gels to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down. it also helps lower cholesterol and slow sugar absorption to promote healthy blood sugar levels. so you can feel lighter and more energetic. metamucil. support your daily digestive health. take the metamucil two week challenge and feel lighter and more energetic. sign up today at metamucil.com. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. air wick our essential mist transforms fragrance shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. infused with natural essential oils into a mist. to awaken your home with an experience you can see, smell, and feel. it's air care, redefined. air wick essential mist. connect to nature. so the former president is facing new legal trouble over the capitol insurrection. house democrat bernie thompson -- bennie thompson, excuse me, filing a lawsuit earlier today backed by the naacp against trump and rudy giuliani. the suit accusing them of conspiring with the far right groups the proud boys and the oath keepers to incite the attack on january 6th. the suit cites a law from right after the civil war that was designed to protect elected officials from ku klux klan intimidation. well, team trump is still claiming that the president didn't incite any violence, so let's talk about that. naacp president and ceo derek johnson is here and cnn analyst elie honig. our time is a little short. that squeezed us a little bit. i apologize in advance. derek, we saw symbols of hate marching through the capitol that day, the confederate battle flag, a noose set up outside, i gallows. this obscure anti-klan law was designed to protect lawmakers from intimidation and violence, but why do you think this law in particular will be effective? why this approach, sir? >> the law was created to ensure congress persons could carry out their duties free of intimidation and threats. it came in the backdrop of the civil war to protect southern lawmakers who were seeking to reunify the country. and as we have learned after decades of experience, much of the domestic terrorism that we see across this country is rooted in white supremacy. so we find it important for us in our legal department to represent congressman thompson and other members of congress to ensure they are able to carry out their duty to make sure our democracy is protected. >> elie could this civil case suck succeed where impeachment stalled? >> absolutely. basically what the naacp has to prove here is essentially that donald trump and rudy giuliani were responsible for and caused that riot. if you remember, it was just last week, i think the impeachment trial established very clearly. even people like mitch mcconnell who voted not guilty agreed that, yes, donald trump was responsible for what happened there. so if the naacp can essentially reprove what the house managers already proved last week in court, they're going to have a real shot at success here. >> i want to talk about, derrick, the proud boys and the oath keepers named in this lawsuit. what do you hope this process of discovery will reveal about these extreme groups? >> well, you can tell the extent to which there was a conspiracy to disrupt the peaceful transfer of government. it could also help us highlight how to curb this type of domestic terrorism for the future. we know that if we do nothing and not hold people accountable, we only open ourselves up to future acts of violence and ways to subvert our democracy. but if we take aggressive action where congress failed to do so, particularly republicans in the senate, we can, in fact, begin to heal this nation. we cannot get to healing until we have accountability. the lawsuit is about accountability. >> this lawsuit is alleging conspiracy, both about the timing of the speech and the way trump sent out his message. how tough is it going to be to prove? >> well, look, discovery is going to matter here as derrick just talked about. one thing i'm actually interested in is whether the naacp is going to try to depose not just donald trump and rudy giuliani, but other people who might be able to prove donald trump was doing during those key times -- mccarthy, meadows, tuberville. that could be part of this process. if the naacp pursues those, they could shed a lot of light. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. unprovoked, violent attacks against asian-americans spiking amid the pandemic. the disturbing story next. want to brain better?
