since suzie's got goals, she'll want a plan to reach them. so she'll get some help from fidelity, and she'll feel so good about her plan, she can focus on living it. that's the planning effect, from fidelity. two more juror were selected in the trial of former minneapolis police officer derek chauvin who is charged in the death of george floyd. that brings the total number of jurors selected to 5 with 14 needed, including two alternates. according to a pool reporter, one man appears to be caucasian in his 30s or 40s. another, a black man in his 30s or 40s. there are a black man, and a biracial woman. chauvin has pleaded not guilty to second degree intentional murder and man slatter in -- manslaughter. in floyd's death, which was captured on camera. meanwhile, the minnesota courts clear the way for the trial judge to reinstate a third degree murder charge. the judge would address the matter when court resumes in the morning. >> a reminder, don't miss full circle, our digital news show. you can catch it streaming live at 6:00 p.m. eastern at cnn.com/full circle or watch it there or on the cnn app any time on demand. that's it for us. let's hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." >> anderson, it's right to pick up on the composition of this jury. the first three jurors are really indicated different things in terms of the approach of both prosecution and defense to dealing with the obvious, which is you're not going to find people who don't know anything about this situation. there's also later in the show a little bit of inside scoop on the controversy over this third charge. it was out, now it's back in. they're waiting on the court. we'll talk through why it matters as much as it does. appreciate the coverage. i'm chris cuomo. welcome to primetime. tonight, a huge sigh of relief. >> the yeas are 220, the nays are 211. the motion is adopted. >> the democrats got you all kinds of relief. that's right. the democrats. this is a matter of fact. there was zero help from the opposition party. every single one voted against. against a bill backed by a majority of you, including many of the opposite's own republican constituents. against sending americans $1400 checks. against giving unemployed americans a $300 a week boost in support. against cutting child poverty in half. against saving tens of thousands of jobs. now that it is done, some of the opposers are becoming posers, like this. look at this tweet from senator roger wicker, mississippi. celebrating the money for restaurants, remember, he wanted to starve you. he voted against this money for you. fact. president biden owns this, good or bad. the first major legislative achievement of his presidency. >> this bill represents a historic, historic victory for the american people. i look forward to signing it later this week. everything in the american rescue plan addressed a real need. >> please focus on this. 61% of americans wanted this rescue. two thirds of the country think it will help our economy. among them, a huge number of republicans. more than a third of working class republicans think the bill should have included even more relief. so you've got to be thinking, why was the opposition so opposed? more important to know is why they were so quiet in their refusal. they know many of their own wanted this. they're making a different bet. remember, these are the people who played to the denial of the pandemic. they're betting that they can still make people angry. divide, and therefore, be a safe harbor for the hostile come election time. they're going to be against everything biden tries to do because they're opposing him. that's why they tried to pitch pandemic relief as you paying for them and their kids. what's the message there? ugly and obvious. division by deception. they only want a rescue plan for dr. seuss. and by the way, facts first. it was his estate that decided not to publish more of certain books. no one else made that happen. rescue mr. potato head. res cue the royals from any reckoning of racism, because you know, there's something about that meghan markle that seems, oh, i don't know, dark. yeah. you mean like her skin? is she forgetting her place? is that why you're so upset about it? everything they say about markle is code for dividing us by color. remember this day. this was the chance to make up for the pandemic denial that they enabled. instead, they decided to double down, period. the house chaplain today made a plea to the lord for mercy on those who turn their backs in a national emergency. >> we pray your mercy. forgive them, all of them, for when called upon to respond to a once in a century pandemic that has rocked our country, they have missed the opportunity to step above the fray and unite, the servants you have called to lead this country have contributed to the spread of an even more insidious contagion of bitterness and spite. >> amen. but i argue to you, the real time for prayer isn't for what's happened in the past. it's about what prayers for what's about to happen. that disease of denial and truth, the disease of denial, the truth and justice don't exist. that's spreading faster than covid. and the feverish effort to oppose now extends to a new fight to make maga stand for a return to jim crow voting restrictions. that is not hyperbole. over 40 states, over 250 laws, all making voting harder, especially for minorities. and the opposition party wants you to think they are suppressing the vote as the lord's work. >> everything about this bill is rotten to the core. this is a bill as if written in hell by the devil himself. >> when he's talking about that, is he talking about this guy? must be. because senator mike lee said what he said on the same day that another shady recording of him comes out pressuring another georgia official to help him steal the election and nullify thousands of votes, including the black vote. i have the tape ahead. can't be talking about hr-1. because the bill is designed to expand voting access. it's not an anti-security bill. it doesn't make things less secure. he couldn't argue that. surely, the devil would not create a bill to make sure all americans of every color have the right to vote and have their votes counted, right? you don't see that as evil, do you? is it the devil's work to employ diversity and democracy? i don't think so. why would you say that? ask senator lee. ask the opposition party. but i'll tell you this, hr-1 is the only single step way to stop a wave of wicked, wanton voter suppression from republican controlled legislatures all over the country, including the battlegrounds of georgia and arizona. let's bring in the better minds on what lies ahead. dana bash and natasha alford. good to have you both. dana, why was something that is so hard to vote against giving the wants of your constituency, voted against anyway? >> you know, it's actually part of a pattern that we saw during the trump era that is bleeding into what we're seeing right now, which is the party is at times, and this is exhibit "a" voting against the needs of many of their constituents. and you just have to look at cnn's poll this morning, and every other poll about this bill, chris, which i know you have seen. it's not just democrats who support the specifics of what is in here, the relief that is in this bill. it's republicans who do, which is why when you listen to republicans on the house floor today in their press releases, in their tweets, they're just using kind of the -- the cookie cutter republican language, which is it's a socialist agenda, it's a liberal agenda. and it is a big, big, big bill. there's no question. but it is, if you look into the bill, into what is in there, the core of it is addressing the needs of the people, many of whom are their constituents. >> right. you have more people who said there should have been more in the bill than people said they're against the bill. natasha, i want to take a listen to senator mcconnell and get context of what he's trying to put over on this. >> spending dramatically more money than we obviously need at this particular point at which time the economy is coming back, people are getting vaccine. we're on the way out of this. we're about to have a boon. if we do have a boom, it will have absolutely nothing to do with this $1.9 trillion. >> economically, he can't know any of that. but he does know, natasha, we're 9.5 million jobs down from where we were before the pandemic. what do you think the play is? >> if you can convince people that there's no real crisis, right, then action is not necessary. and i just listened to that sound bite with so much disgust because i know that there are people who are still getting coronavirus. we're still getting warnings that we are in the midst of this thing, and it is not over. and it is so like mitch mcconnell to put the politics above the people. and just like we saw with the trump administ, tout politics above our actual safety. they risked our lives to sell us this big lie that the pandemic wasn't real, and also that somehow the election was rigged. and so i think the american people are going to remember this moment. you know, mitch mcconnell is banking on folks focusing on the politics, but the american people will remember that they stood up against stimulus checks and unemployment insurance and access to medical insurance. these are the things that actually matter in terms of getting things done. if the gop can convince you to focus on the culture wars and the politics, they don't have to engage in policy. they don't have to tell you what better ideas they have. >> you know, i have been encouraged to let this moment breathe a little bit. this is a big win. nope. the real fight is the next one, and not just because it's the next one. not everybody thinks the way i do, that success is only failure averted. the hr-1 fight and these laws that are going to fan out all over this country because the republicans have been smart, they have been working these state races. they have been winning these state races. they own a lot of these state houses and governorships. now comes hr-1, which is the only chance to stop the spread of those laws. and just like the pandemic bill was sold soto voce, by the opposition party as, do you really want to help them pay for their kids and get them out of poverty? that was code. today, they drop the code, my friends. listen to what was said on the floor of the congress. >> black lives matter in the last election. i know it's a group, that it doesn't like the old fashioned family. disturbed that we have another program here in which we're increasing the marriage penalty. >> what? and nobody said anything about him, dana. nobody said anything. no one in the party stood up. if i said anything even like that right now, both of you would start yelling, whoa, way wrong. i don't want anything to do with that. cnn does not deserve to be under that guy's name. nobody came out and said anything about him, dana. >> yeah. i mean, because this is what happens when you have the big lie and then extensions and tangents that come out of the big lie. and so when you look at what they're doing in georgia, in iowa, and other places where they have as you said, republican legislatures and they're working on rolling back the really unbelievably open ability for so many voters to actually go to the polls early, to have more opportunity at different times to vote, when the main reasons they're doing that is because, just look at georgia. they don't want voting on sundays. why is that? that's souls to the polls. >> they know, souls to the polls is exactly right. they know who votes. dana, you hear that in shock. me, it's a sense of shame. natasha, when you hear that guy say no irony, no sense of guilt or anything, he's got the mask on, but you can see from his demeanor he's fine saying it, that black lives matter, you don't believe in our idea of the family, old fashioned. how does that hit your heart and your head? >> well, you know, as a black american, racism has never had to be hidden, right? so i'm not surprised that he just came out and said it. i think it reflects this country. this is the same country that emancipated enslaved people and was like, wait, here are some poll taxes. here are literacy tests. these are all these road blocks to you accessing the vote. this is a continuation of the american tradition. we know these restrictive voting laws, they don't have an equal impact on everybody. they always hurt the black voters the worst. and the voters of color who they don't want to engauge. these voter restriction laws are really racism wrapped in a bow for 2021. and everything that you would think would make america actually great is in hr-1. automatically registering people to vote, expanding early voting. we know what it's like to stand in long lines. and making sure that you can't just randomly get kicked off the voter rolls. if we have a government for the people and by the people, then why would the gop be afraid of something like this? >> two members of that party, one comes out and says that giving voting rights to everybody and making sure those votes are counted is the devil's work. another guy comes out and says that black lives matter, which is just a euphemism for black people, don't like our idea of family. no one says anything to shut any or either of them down. that's where we are. dana bash, natasha alford, thank you very much for helping the audience tonight. appreciate you. >> now, major relief is coming. good. to who exactly, how much, but most importantly, when. i can't answer that last one, and it's the big question. but i will break down what's actually in there to give some sense of what the opposition party decided you shouldn't have. and my next guest is going to expose that they are making a play because what they just rejected in this bill they used to like. fake news, you say? we have the receipts. democratic senator tim kaine next. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. thank you! hey, hey, no, no limu, no limu! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ plant-based surfactants like the ones in seventh generation detergent trap stains at the molecular level and flush them away. it's just science! just... science. now, simparica trio simplifies protection. seventh generation tackles stains. ticks and fleas?

$1400 checks. extended unemployment. more money for vaccines. but it's important to understand what else is included and why. the child tax credit, the changes there mean that millions of parents could soon get up to $3600 a child. that alone could cut the child poverty rate in half. now, on a purely economic level, that's expected to generate about $800 billion in benefits. but on a human level, it's incalculable, because poverty kills. we don't even have the latest numbers but wi do know this, the pandemic has caused at least 2.5 million kids who were not poor to become poor. they jacked up the number of kids going from hungry to somewhere around 11 million. and we know there are more hungry in this country than at any time since the great depression. how do you not vote to address that need? restaurants, among the hardest hit. more than 110,000 are gone. so now, instead of competing for ppp checks, there's money targeted to help save the small and mid-sized restaurants that remain. there's more money, in fact, than the last two covid bills combined to finally give schools what they need to open safely, like what? reduce the class size takes money. ventilation takes money. janitors, staff, ppe, money, money, money. it's in there. in the midst of a generational health crisis, this bill tries to do something else, prevent another one. how? many of our fellow americans are out of work. so we have seen a spike in people without health insurance. in fact, more than at any time than during the great recession. okay. 2008-2009. the covid bill will mean more people will be eligible for subsidies to buy insurance. and it takes steps to lower premiums for poor americans. too many rural hospitals are on the brink of collapse. google it. there's money in there to make sure there could be a hospital for people when they need one within reach. there's specific help for native american health care providers. why? you see the numbers on the reservations. they have been among the hardest hit areas by the pandemic. now, here's the question we can't answer. we know what the bill will do. what we can't answer is how quickly can it do it? take schools. some of that aid is spread over years. schools need it now. and since it's not contingent on reopening this year, what could districts do? they could pocket the money and still wait until next fall to reopen. the fact that it's a tax season, what does that mean? it could slow down the $1400 checks. the labor department has to get updated guidelines to states quickly to make sure that there's no gap when the last unemployment extension ends next weekend or you could have people who are literally broke not getting that extra help of unemployment in time. that's the question. can they get it done? lots to get after with the democratic senator from virginia named tim kaine. senator, i told you i would have you back, and i'll make another date before we even see how this one goes because i do want to take aumf, but there's no reason to discuss it when it isn't relevant. first, about the work of government, and then i want to go into the politics behind this. how can you make sure that the government does what it can as quickly as it can, specifically on schools? >> chris, we're going to have to really push this. good news is, you know, we have done it already. we put school funds out in the c.a.r.e.s. act last march. and schools were using it. and so now, it's not like we're doing it for the first time. schools and states have to make decisions about the way they want to use it, and that's something that's tough. you pointed out janitors, cleaning, ventilation systems, broadband upgrades. some school systems may decide what they want to do is enhanced summer instruction to help kids recoup the learning gap from the last year. different school systems are going to make different uses of these moneys. but the size of the investment in schools, in reopening child care centers, and in higher ed, is going to give greater flexibility for getting our kids back in classrooms, which makes it easier to get their parents back to work. >> you say you can make the case to expose the politics here that were played by the opposition party. how so? what do you have as receipts? >> okay, so i have got the house version of the bill in front of me. and you can see all these yellow tabs. republicans decided to vote against it in the house and in the senate. uniformly, but i have gone through quickly and just tabbed all of the provisions in this bill that were initially introduced as bipartisan. support for keeping our healers healthy, the lorna green act, which was mine to make sure our health care providers get the mental health they need. public health modernization so our state, local state and federal public health agencies share data with one another. child care tax credit. support for restaurants. you mentioned this. the republicans voted against supporting america's re
