president biden traveling to pennsylvania tomorrow as part of his administration's week-long tour to introduce americans to his nearly $2 trillion rescue plan saying his goal is to get 100 million vaccine doses in people's arms and 100 million relief checks in people's pockets. checks began arriving over the weekend. the president also announcing that gene sperling, a former top economic official in the clinton and obama administrations will oversee the massive spending in the new law. so joining me now, cnn white house correspondent, john harwood and senior political analyst, kirsten powers. so big promises, 100 million shots, 100 million checks in pockets. all in the next ten days. how will he get this done? that's a lot. >> well, the truth is those promises sound a lot bigger than they actually are. remember, joe biden came into the presidency promising 100 million vaccine doses in 100 days. that's the rate of a million a day. we were approaching when he came into office. with a very focused and determined effort, they have accelerated that significantly. we're now getting over 2 million a day. we had a 3 million dose day the other day. so when you start racking up those extra millions of doses per day, per week, you get the 100 million pretty fast. so they'll get there somewhere in the 60s in terms of days, instead of day 100. in terms of the checks, that is not all that difficult either in the sense that if the treasury department has your bank information, by virtue of your irs tax refunds, they can shoot that money out to you quickly and that's why people started seeing those 1,400 checks landing in their bank accounts over the weekend. i don't know how much effort it is to get to 100 million specifically but they can move a lot of money pretty fast. and this is a case of those are round numbers. joe biden is in fact delivering on things that he promised in the campaign. and no politician ever gets pun i shalled for setting goals that they know they can achieve or exceed and he's on track to do that. he will spend the next couple of weeks along with his top aides, crisscrossing the country, promoting the need to get vaccinations and promoting what is in this relief bill. he's going to pennsylvania tomorrow. jill biden is going to new hampshire and new jersey. joe biden will go to georgia later in the week. all swing states. he will try to make the case about child tax credits, boerk subsidies, aid to small businesses, all those businesses. today he announce that had gene sperling who was a senior economic official under both president clinton and president obama will oversee that effort. gene sperling is eminently familiar with all of these programs. so he's somebody who brings a lot of expertise to that task he is and promising to be as focused as joe biden was focusing on the oversight of the stimulus plan when obama was in office in 200nape. so he's off to a promising start and he has ten days to deliver on this set of goals that he's established. so a trim to the border in texas today. here's what he said about the situation. >> it's more than a crisis. this is a human heart break. the sad part about all of this, it didn't to have happen. all because the policies of our president has changed and told them something different. told them to risk their lives. and broke families apart. >> i mean, it's pretty rich for the republican leader to talk about the inhumanity of separating families at the border. how do you explain the outreach? >> well, i mean, this is i think what the republicans are very good at and i think that they think they're doing some sort of political jiu jitsu with this or something. somehow trying to turn this around. on democrats, pretending that they care about something that they have more than demonstrate they don't care about. this issue is far more complicated than is being presented. nobody wants to have families come into this country. nobody wants their children to come into this country and go through a very unsafe process unless they're absolutely desperate. and that is the point. it's not caused by the president of the united states. it doesn't matter who the president of the united states is. people come here. they come here because they're desperate. and they're trying to get a better life. so it is on us when they get here to treat them as humanely as possible. >> i want to get to the growing number of harassment allegations against governor cuomo of new york. new york democrats are now overwhelmingly calling for his resignation including schumer schumer. they say the investigation should play out. why is that? >> well, that was their position that they feel like they learned through al franken situation, a lot of people felt they pulled the trigger too fast. there was an investigation and there was a huge back lash from democratic voters. so their position is, have a real investigation. get to the bottom of it. find out what happened and don't make any premature decisions until you have all the facts. >> thank you. i bring in sarah murray with the latest on the growing assault on voting rights. thank you for joining. there are more than 250 bills in 43 states trying to make it harder to vote. governor abbott is the latest republican to join this effort. are not his plans based on lies about fraud? >> well, it was interesting, listening to governor abbott today. emthese bills, two dozen have been introduced by lawmakers in texas, are important so they build trust and confidence for constituents in their elections. he doesn't mention the reason people may not have trust and confidence in their elections is because republicans have been running around insisting there's widespread voter fraud when there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. even governor abbott wasn't able to come out in front of the cameras today and say there was widespread voter fraud. but that hand stopped republican lawmakers. and in texas, they're talking about early voting, to make it harder to get absentee ballots or return they will. a lot of this was pushback in houston when we saw the early voting places open 24 hours, drive-through polling sites and that kind of thing. >> you have some new reporting on what democrats are doing to push back against these measures in the republican led states. >> this is a big campaign. what they're doing is going national. a bunch of left leaning groups that have teams up together and citizens united. the nationalic redistricting committee, they're going to pour $30 million into 12 to 15 states where they're going on convince senators to get this bill that already passed the house of representatives, this sweeping election bill, and get it through the senate. the reason it is a challenge is this fight over what will happen with this election bill will cold h coalesce. the arguments the left leaning groups are making, this has to pass the senate no matter what. we don't care how you get there. we don't care if you have to make a procedural change to the rules to get around the filibuster. we want this to pass. >> we're hearing voting rights groups in georgia are calling to speak out against voter suppression. what are you hearing? >> no surprise georgia is one of these states where republican lawmakers in the state have pushed forward a number of measures to playing it more difficult for people to vote in that state west saw a lot of democratic wins that republicans were not too happy about. so voting rights groups are going after companies like coca-cola, home deep pot saying need to you speak out. you've said you support voting rights so it is time for to you speak out specifically against this legislation moving through the georgia legislature. >> always a pleasure. thank you so much. >> stacy abrams calling vote years pregs efforts jim crow in a suit and tie. is this just about the gop getting power any way they can? >> they've gotten so comfortable winning election after election in our state that they're not really running on policy or ideas anymore. they're just trying to keep the people who don't usually vote for them from voting at all. tonight i'll be eating a calzone from doughballs in aurora. (doorbell) rock on. tonight i'll be eating lobster thermidor au gratin. really? sh-yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt. make it two calzones! sh-yeah, and monkeys mithere's a world wheret. every one of us is connected. everyone. everywhere. where everyone is included. where everyone has access to information, education, opportunity. ♪ ♪ ♪ when everyone and everything is connected. that's really beautiful. anything is possible. good morning. cisco. the bridge to possible. gillette proglide. five blades and a pivoting flexball designed to get virtually every hair on the first stroke. so you're ready for the day with a fresh face for a fresh start. for a limited time get a 5th cartridge free. republican controlled state legislatures all across the country moving to create what looks like a whole lot of the new jim crow. there are more than 250 bills in at least 43 states. that will result in restriging access to voting and a lot of those bills targeting black and brown americans. let's discuss now with cornell west. the professor of public philosophy at harvard. good evening. >> this is the night. this is fight. >> thank you, thank you. i really appreciate all love i'm getting. we have you on because you're an expert on this. we are seeing gop effort to restrict voting access in states across the land. a lot of it is based on this election lie that it was stolen. there was some sort of fraud. widespread voter fraud. you know it was none of this. they claim they want election integrity. what do they actually want, professor? >> they want power. most importantly, they want to subjugate the weak and vulnerable. specifically black people, specifically brown, specifically indigenous people and poor people. keep in mind, brother, the fundamental question. i know you deal with this. james bald win dealt with it. he raised the four questions at the very center of this grammy we won yesterday, the jazz alatn orchestra. how does integrity face oppression? how does honesty face deception? how does decency face insult? and how does courage face brute force. any time we talk about a white supremacy back lashering with don't want to be preoccupied. we have to get fortified with our honesty, decency and courage. you rebel that line in james bald win's letter to his nephew. don't, comma, be afraid. don't, come a, be afraid. dome get intimidated. straighten your back up. have spine. that's what our struggle is about. that's one of the reasons why louisiana is so important. they straighten their backs up. louie armstrong straightened his back up. your parents straightened their backs up. they walked with dignity. they didn't allow hatred to come at them in such a with a that they hated return. they loved the truces, beauty, goodness. and we love god. so when we talk about the white supremacist back lash, we don't want to be so preoccupied that we down play our own strengths. we don't want to look at ourselves through the white no normative gaze. dew see the points i'm making? >> yes. you don't have to be like them but you have what? >> you have to be strong. you have to be willing to fight. that's why we love stacey abrams. what is the name of her group? bear fight. she the people. empowerment. enablement. that's what we were talking about with the grammy triumph yesterday. to institutionalize and mortalize that attitude to the world so we never, ever become overcome by any kind of hatred or evil. but we get fortified, a real force for good. i'm not talking about polls and posturing. i'm not talking about acting as if you're good, self-righteousness, i'm talking about serving folk, being willing to pay a cost. that's what our struggle is all about. >> i didn't get to go to church yesterday so i'm happy to hear all of this. >> lord knows we need some spirit up in here. >> let's talk about this. you know, i do have to talk about the realities of this. black and brown voters, they could be disenfranchised. we don't want to forget our power and focus this spoex we forget our power, as up. but they've put an incredible burden on black and brown voters. this is what stacey abrams described in the bill. >> it is the reduction of jim crow in a suit and tie. we know it was not a question of security. the secretary of state and the governor went to great pains to ensure americans georgia's elections were secure. the only connection we can finds is that more people of color voted and it changed the outcome of the election if a way republicans do not like. >> jim crow in a suit and tie. what do you think? >> that's the white supremacy back lash. the question is, once you make point, how do you organize it? which she's been doing. she came together cynthia harris, coming together with all citizens of good will who want to push back the white supremacy coming back at us. >> dome forget la tasha brown, too. who has traveled around in an rv, registering people to vote and educating them about their power at the polls. >> absolutely. >> we've seen what he's saying, that he had been, he would have been scared if it was black lives matter. but the insurrectionists, he unworried about them. can you put this in the context. our history and where we are now? >> well, he becomes one of the voices that is part of white supremacy back lash. i'm not worried about him. i give him the weight of a mosquito on the back end of a rhinoceros. i'm talking about the strong voices we have, the strong, moral, spiritual forces and figure that's we need to respond to him. do you see what i mean? that's the crucial thing. because yes, his voice and the others become strong only to degree that we are not committed. we are not convicted enough to be able to resist. and that's why i love stacey is that the others, in a natasha ae others. we have seen this back lash as a cycle over and over and over again in u.s. history. and it is not just a matter of skin pigmentation. it is people who choose honesty, decency, courage. that's the moral and spiritual core and essence of fighting against a white supremacist back lash. and your voice has back very important one. and march 16th. it will hit the mark. did you say the day after the ides of march with julius caesar in 44 bc where the roman empire -- is that the march 16 dialect you've got working? >> i would say yes. then people would know i would be lying. i live for your, i would call it a sermon, your serm onlies and you stopping the camera on my show at least a couple times a month. thank you, professor. >> love you. stay strong, man. >> thank you very much. so the defense for the former police officer in the death of george floyd asking for a trillion delay after minneapolis agreed to a settlement with george floyd's family. is that settlement having a negative impact with the family? that's next. incredible amount of ink. the epson ecotank. just fill and chill. did you know that every single flush flings odors onto your soft surfaces? then they get release back into the air, so you smell them later. ew right? that's why febreze created small spaces. press firmly and watch it get to work. unlike the leading cone, small spaces continuously eliminates odors in the air and on surfaces. so they don't come back for 45 days. just imagine what it can do with other odors. will there be an ev for me? what about me? one for me? you mean us? what about me? and me? how about us? yeah, how about us? great question. wait, can i get one in green? got one for me?! hey, what about me? what about us? is there an ev for me?

>> i'm confident that it would not have an impact on the case. at the same time, i think about what happened when breonna taylor, how they barricaded the building before they made the decision, after they gave the lump sum of money, and all of a sudden, she lost the entire case. i don't want that to happen with this case. because that video is enough to show that we need a conviction and we need justice. the world is watching. minneapolis, minnesota, they have to make a great decision and it has to be impactful. >> let's bring the attorney in here. benjamin, so judge kale dismissed one juror because she said she couldn't be fair and impartial after hearing about the settlement. even the prosecuting attorney acknowledging the timing of the settlement was unfortunate. do you think the minneapolis city council should have waited to announce the details of the settlement? >> i just think it is ludicrous, when buds the fact that 50 million people saw this video and they saw the video and that was riveting video. once you saw that video, you can't unsatisfy that video. and if you can be fair and impartial after seeing that video, that's enough. a press conference last week is irrelevant to what happened on that video. and i think it is just a delay tactic. i think the judge will see past it and i think we'll go for it with this trial, with an impartial jury. >> you said that you think that it doesn't have an impact. the trial made national and international news. your family has been through a lot. i mean, i can't even imagine. most people can't even imagine. this is just the beginning. are you going to be in the courtroom when the trial starts? are you nevgs about that? about having to relive this? >> i'm not nervous at awfully feel like i'm prepared. i have a great team behind me and we're all fighting for justice. one thing i have learned. you have to fight for what you want in life. no j no justice, no peaceful like the protesters, hey, we'll march again. we will get justice and we will get conviction out of this. >> so of the nine jurors who have been picked so far, there's a make-up of it on the screen. five are white. two are black. one his panel issic, one is mixed race according to how they self-identified on their jury survey. six men and three women so far. how do you feel about how the jury selection process is going? >> well, obviously we would want more diversity. as long as people are fair and impartial and people will give george floyd the same almost and not let the character assassination that we'll witness as i told filonise and his family, they'll call him everything, a child of god. and that's the play book. as long as those jurors won't it's distracted and say we'll go by the facts, the video shows us the law the judge instructs us on. and they have to convict. this is a hard case. if that was a white man down there, nobody would say it was a hard case. when it is a black person down there, they say oh, we have such a difficult challenge ahead of us. that's because race permeates everything in america and especially the legal system. >> ben, the final woman selected today was a woman in her 50s. she said she got tim pregs chauvin didn't care about george floyd but also said it is too bad that police are under a micro scope now. what is your reaction? >> well, black people have been under a micro scope for the last 400 years. especially when it comes to policing america. we could have america where breonna taylor gets to sleep in her bed at peace in night. where jacob isn't shot in the back walking away from the police and where george floyd gets to take another breath. policing in america must be better. because if not, we're going to tip to have these hashtags quicker than we can keep up, don lemon. >> thank you. i appreciate your time. we'll be back talking about this soon enough. thank you. >> thank you. so wow, a heated conversation over race on tv. a talk between sharon osborne and her co-hosts spilling out into the open last week. now the show is going on a hiatus for an internal review. start your day with secret. secret stops sweat 3x more than ordinary antiperspirants. the new provitamin b5 formula is gentle on skin. with secret, outlast anything! no sweat. secret. don't settle for products that give you a sort of white smile. try new crest whitening emulsions for 100% whiter teeth. its highly active peroxide droplets swipe on in seconds. better. faster. 100% whiter teeth. crestwhitesmile.com to be honest...a little dust?

the victim is meghan markle. that's who the victim is. for her to get so outraged and upset, the all phrase -- >> here's from me, the thing. and look. if someone, if she apologized, i'm sorry, whatever, that's fine. i didn't see a, hey, sheryl underwood, i'm sorry for the way i treated you. how i spoke to you. that i disrespected you on national television. i didn't see that at all. the part that got me was, and don't start trying to cry. i'm the one who should be crying. and you educate me. first of all, it's not her job to educate her. and it's not -- she can't tell someone when to cry or when to be emotional. but she didn't apologize for that. so someone apologizes, look, you know when an apology is sincere, right? that was not sincere. and she didn't apologize to the right people. i think people should be able to have these conversations. sheryl underwood, and sharon osbourne should be able to have difficult conversations with, not a degree of honesty. with full honesty. but there must be respect there. and sharon osbourne made it all about her, rather than the actual act of racism. that's what privilege is. so she was more aggrieved about the possibility that someone might perceive her as racist, than the actual act of racism. >> yeah. and she has to understand, too. people responded to her support of piers morgan because they know that he has been attacking meghan markle for years. and it's like, her support and defense of her friend meant more to her than actually addressing what was the issue. nobody, at least from what i saw in the conversation, nobody said sharon osbourne, you're a racist. >> they all kept saying, we know you're not a racist. >> exactly. so for her reaction to on a ten when it was so unnecessary. just the disrespect that she showed someone who came into that conversation, considering sharon osbourne a friend, and then for her to embarrass her on national television. imagine if the roles were reversed. imagine if sheryl underwood had behaved that way on national television toward sheryl osbourne. do you know what they would be calling sheryl underwood say? they would be calling her everything but a child of god. so i just applaud sheryl underwood to stay as calm is that collected as she could. i think it further and posed really the ugliness that was there with sharon osbourne. >> so listen. and that's not all. we just played a little bit. there was some cursing going on. she said i can't be racist because i'm an if'ing jew. >> because she's 68. >> 68 years old and let's get off this topic. and i was like, wow! imagine doing that on television if sheryl had done that. now, listen. we have very candid conversations here. people quite frankly, white people are afraid to talk about race because in some way they feel like sharon osbourne. so how do you allow leeway for people to be able to have conversations and to be able to make mistakes in conversations, and possibly say the wrong thing. but i guess it has to come from an honest place rather than from a defensive stance. help me. i'm saying what sharon said. help me out here, jamel. >> i think number one, and we see this all the time. i think number one, a lot of white people, honestly, it's like, if you're trying to have a productive, constructive conversation about race with somebody black or of color, period, i need to you listen more than i need you to talk. so that to me right there is an indication of your level of seriousness. and understand that it is not our responsibility to teach you anything. i'm not walking you through 400 years of history, i'm not explaining to you everything racial under the sun. that's not my job. you need to be able to put in some work to even enter the conversation. if you're not able to do that, i can't take it all that seriously. this is a frustrating experience commonly for people of color. because when we try to have those conversations, we get told how to feel, what to feel, and we wind up sometimes until we get to a point where i don't care anymore. i'm going to have to hurt your feelings. we wind up trying to do them. which is unfortunately what sheryl underwood, it put her in a bad spot. she has to talk calmly and soothe this woman as she is losing her mind on tv. so that's the part that i don't like. again, the people most victimized, oppressed by racism, who have the boot of racism on their neck, they have to turn into psychiatrists. we have to problem solve. we have to do all the heavy lifting and the white people get to sit there as sharon osbourne did and have a complete temper tantrum. >> thank you. we'll see what happens, what transpires, what comes out of this. i don't think it's over. and when i saw that conversation, i said this is that over. this will have far-reaching ramifications. >> and that's another thing, too. they shut down the whole show because of what this woman did on television. so everybody else has to now pay because she didn't know how to act on tv. another form of privilege. >> make sure to have the conversation in the open where it should be had rather than shutting it down. let's home they will. thank you, thank you. i'll see you soon. listen, tomorrow my book comes out. i wrote about all this. i know it can help. it is called, this is the fire. make sure you pick it up and read it. what i say to my friends about racism, this is how we should talk to each other. and we should, among friends. so find someone who doesn't look like you, befriend them and have these conversations. a hot mic catching a racist and outrageous comments from an announcer during a high school basketball game. he is blaming his type one diabetes, a member of the basketball team responds next. did you know the source of odor in your home... ...could be all your soft surfaces?
