administration, maybe even before that, to begin to change the paradigm. >> is cy vance about to nail donald trump? joins me live. and high profile new york democrats join the calls for andrew cuomo's resignation, rebecca traifter reporting from inside the office. "all in" starts now. hello, i'm chris hayes. it's still sinking in the biden administration was able to pass this towering achievement that looked improbable even in december. think back. race called for biden. clear he was winner but sitting president was doing everything in his power attempting to overturn the election through legal and extralegal means and balance of the senate was up for grabs. came down to georgia and democrats had to win two seats and had not won a senate chair in georgia in decades. but here we are. oldest man elected president, been in public life for 50 years, ran as centrist. narrow majority came together to deliver most processive comprehensive rescue package in many generations. >> we democrats made promises, we made promises in georgia, in the country. we said if we gained the senate, kept the house and elected the president, we would finally get things done. >> we both served in the senate, we know there's rarely been a bill so concrete and tangible. mr. president, people will feel and see what we all did here. >> i served 36 years in the senate, i know how hard it is to pass major, consequential legislation, particularly when we only have minor, small majorities in both houses, you've done an incredible job. >> joe biden and democrats promised people cash assistance, going to deliver it. going to hit some bank accounts this weekend. if you need more perfect example of the contrast between this and previous administration. in april the white house delayed sending people checks so donald trump could find a place to put his name on it. this time the payments begin immediately. this bill is so big, a ton of stuff in it, really great stuff. lot of people just don't know about it. we discussed earlier this week about the refundable child tax credit, just saying it makes you say what, but it's payments, households with less than $100,000 a year, vast majority, parents of children aged six and under receiving $300 monthly payments, via direct deposit or through the mail in july. and others $250 a month and claim the rest of the credit when they file. per kid every month. it's going to help so many people. "atlantic" writer tweeted in past few days i talked to folks who will get these allowances and none had any idea the money is coming. if this is you, expect it, tell your friends. package also has, and i hadn't noticed this until a few days ago, 100% cobra subsidy through september. if you lose your job, want to keep your health insurance, federal government will now pay entirety of that premium for six months. lot of people decline to use it because you have to pay for whole plan without help from employer, too expensive when you lost your job. now it's free through september. other parts are by no means controversial, supported by both parties, $28.6 billion for restaurants. something that republican senator roger wicker bragged about on twitter despite voting against it in final bill. zero republicans in either chamber voted to support this package. zero, it's polling at 70%. republican party is lined up against this good and popular legislation that's going to tangibly improve millions of people's lives coming out of one of the worst years in american life. when democrats were celebrating in the rose garden, no republicans were there because none of them voted for it. even though, again another contrast here, last march passed $2.2 trillion c.a.r.e.s. act, for donald trump to sign. full support from democrats despite that president was republican, but none of them were invited to that ceremony. meanwhile the biden administration hit goal of 100 million shots in 100 days with more to spare. and set a record. 2.92 million vaccinations reported today. new record. hundreds of millions of doses coming online. president biden is pushing for every adult to be able to get the vaccine starting may 1st with a goal of a summer that looks normalish. it's still early in the recovery process. lot can go economically, health-wise, i know everyone is frankly scared and scarred to hope. but it is impossible, impossible not to just take stock of the contrast between the leadership we had and the leadership we have now. bring in one of the democratic senators who voted for covid relief package, pushed for expanded child tax credit for years, senator michael bennett of colorado. i've read a bunch of quotes, senator brown is a frequent guest, saying this is why i became a senator, best vote i ever cast, do you feel that? if so, why? >> i do feel that. and i heard her say that saturday when we voted for this bill. look, i've been working for years on a bill to cut childhood poverty by almost 50%, and joe biden put that in this bill. it's going to transform the lives of millions of american children, and their families, and i think it's going to pull us away from the authoritarianism, this whole bill, what trump represented, and a washington that worked for the wealthiest people in the country instead of the people that desperately need it because for 50 years had economy worked really well for richest people but not bottom 90% of the american people. and the contrast between what we did with this bill and what donald trump did with his tax bill i think will endure for years and years and years. >> something that's interesting about the child tax credit, just want to focus on this for a second. i think when people hear it will cut child poverty by half, projected, they think of it as a program for the poor. but part of the brilliance of the design of this program is that it's -- i think the majority of american households with kids probably, somewhere around there, are getting this money. >> 90% of american kids are going to be getting this money. 90%. cut childhood poverty in half, a massive tax cut for working people and middle class who can spend money on housing, health care, higher education, early childhood education. it's really easy to summarize the town halls i've had last 11 years in senate after being superintendent of denver public schools. michael, we're working really hrd, can't afford housing, higher ed, early childhood. this bill is going to help them do this. >> something somewhat politically ingenious here, it's cut taxes, including refundable credit. even if you don't owe money you get money back. it's created this money to go to 90% of kids in this country. it's only for one year right now. which means, as i understand it, one of the big political fights in 2022 ahead of the midterms will be if republicans want to raise taxes on the millions of families that have children. >> no doubt about it. do they want to raise taxes on the millions of families that have children? do they want to double the childhood poverty rate not making this permanent? >> it's amazing to see the polling on this provision of the bill. 95% of democrats support the bill. 73% of republicans support this provision in the bill. i think the pressure is going to be enormous. brown and booker and harris and so many others, rosa dloerra in the house and her team did so much to get to this point, not to mention joe biden who put it in the package. we're in good place to make an argument why to make it permanent, and running in state like mine or ohio or pennsylvania or wisconsin, what it means to stand up for working people versus someone going to washington to cut taxes for richest in the country when we have great income inequality we've had since 1988. that's the contrast between the biden tax cut and the trump tax cut. >> how do you explain this bill now it's passed? two lessons i can glean. joe biden was in the obama administration, that relief package, stimulus, was not sufficient scale-wise, and was not sold well enough, passed it and moved on to health care fight. what do you think of letting people know basic stuff like cobra subsidized, getting the message out about what is in the bill? >> in a way this is my dream come true, not many people notice that i ran for president but i did on this child tax credit, and one of the things i said was, i look forward to when we pass to, to going to red counties in this country and sitting down with farmers and ranchers who in colorado are among the best mathematicians i know, saying bring your calculators, fox news you can come and bring your calculators too, going to do a math exercise to see what this bill does for you compared to trump's bill. i'm not going to have that opportunity as president but joe biden will, and i hope he takes this opportunity to go to not just blue places but red places and show people, demonstrate why this bill is so beneficial to them. why it will make such a meaningful difference in their lives, and maybe even help stitch the country back together again. not because -- because we've seen every single republican voted against this in washington, even though this provision is supported by 73% of republicans. joe biden will go out and talk to republicans and democrats, i think he can bring the country back together by starting -- showing them what's in the bill. >> senator michael bennet of colorado, he's correct, he did run for president in primary, i know that because i interviewed you as candidate. >> that's true. >> thank you for making time tonight. >> thanks for having me, chris, thanks for everybody working to strengthen this democracy of ours, we have a lot of work to do but off to an amazing start. >> thank you senator. there's amazing new piece in the new yorker. former daughter-in-law of weisselberg. showed up as mourning his mother, sitting shiva. trump showed up in a limousine and blurted out this is where my cfo lives, it's embarrassing. then showed shiva attendees photographs of naked women with him on a yacht. after that, he starts hitting on me, she said. there is so much more in that new yorker piece who makes a strong case that manhattan d.a. may file against donald trump. that story and jane mare are next. are next ♪ got my hair ♪ ♪ got my head ♪ ♪ got my brains ♪ ♪ got my ears ♪ ♪ got my heart ♪ ♪ got my soul ♪ ♪ got my mouth ♪ ♪ i got life ♪ this is how you become the best! ♪“you're the best” by joe esposito♪ ♪ [triumphantly yells] [ding] don't get mad. get e*trade. are you packed yet?

>> i think it is quite serious, and i think that what you can tell from talking to people close to the investigation is that they are -- they really -- the quotes from people i interviewed who have been in and been interviewed by the investigators say they mean business. they're asking questions that are not just broad but are laser sharp, and very focused. they've seemed to have a lot of attention on in particular the family of alan weisselberg, the chief financial officer for the trump organization. seem to be trying to push him to flip on trump, putting pressure on him and his family. he's got two sons who also have worked in ways to help trump. one for a banking company, latter capital, that's made huge loans to the trump organization, and the other son manages the wolman ice skating rink in new york and the carousel. the trump organization has a contract with new york city to run. it's like the family business, they're enmeshed in this thing and prosecutors seem to be closing in on them. they've got the records now to pour over trump's taxes and more importantly all the notes from the accountants that show how trump and the organization arrived at the numbers. >> weisselberg is a key figure, everyone who has covered trump says he's the one who knows the business, numbers and inputs and outputs better than anyone. and his daughter-in-law is the source of that incredible anecdote that appears in your story about sitting shiva, and seems like prosecutors have zeroed in on him. say a little more about the evidence that that's the case. >> among other things, prosecutors have called in his former daughter-in-law, jennifer weisselberg, and interviewed her. she's divorced from one of his sons, and she has been able to provide records and information on how the trump organization paid her former husband, alan weisselberg's son, partly by loaning a free apartment to him. problem is with this free apartment, it was for seven years on central park south in manhattan. problem with taking a free apartment, if you don't declare it on taxes could be in a lot of trouble, it's a form of compensation. what she said to me at one point is what the trump organization does is give you this stuff, and then as a means of control. then if you haven't declared it, they've got you, and you've got to do whatever they ask you to do. and so what she is good witness for is just describing the relationships inside this opaque trump organization. people doing this probe are very interested in basically what is weisselberg's relationship with trump and she's been very forthcoming about that. >> if anyone is watching this and getting a free apartment, i'm not an accountant but you have to declare that, that's a bright line. there's great detail about the secrecy around the investigation. incredibly fraught, politically, ex-president, et cetera. digital records, hard drive is believed to be locked in high security annex in lower manhattan, protected by double set of doors like in bank vaults. blocked with foil to block attempts to get to digital evidence. i got the idea they understand the stakes on this. >> they're really serious about this. as daniel alonzo, the former deputy to vance says, if trump is charged criminally or one of his businesses is charged, what he said to me, it's nuclear war. they realize what they're going up against. they've done amazingly well, they've gotten records by going up to the supreme court twice, which is -- you know, this is a local prosecutor's office, a famous one, but it's amazing, they've done this, got records and seem to be gaining speed. >> so final question for you is, vance announces he's not seeking re-election. i think that was pretty anticipated. what does that mean for this probe? >> it kind of throws it open to an unknown successor. i think it suggests that -- a couple of things. one, if vance decides to press charges, he will -- it's not for any political reasons, he's not running for re-election again, insulates him in that important decision from politics. at the same time all possible successors are running for office and that's going to be a very political process. there's continuity though. i think what's important for people to know is vance brought on, as you mentioned earlier, pomeranz, a admired lawyer in new york city, a special assistant d.a. in this case. he's the man running a lot of it at this point. there are a lot of people on that team who will be continuity through this. vance has taken measures to keep it running smoothly even after he leaves. >> jane mayer, great reporting on this. i learned a ton from the piece in the new yorker tlt thank you so much. >> thanks chris. both new york senators join the growing call for governor cuomo's resignation, very big deal. rebecca traifter has a incredible piece of life inside cuomo land next. inside cuomo land next. and since she's got goals, she might need help reaching them, and so she'll get some help from fidelity, and at fidelity, someone will help her create a plan for all her goals, which means suzie will be feeling so good about that plan, she can just enjoy right now. that's the planning effect, from fidelity. here you go, let me help you. so good about that plan, she can just enjoy right now. hi mr. charles, we made you dinner. ahh, thank you! ready to eat? yes i am! i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love,... more adventure,... more community. but with my hiv treatment,... there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor... and switched to... fewer medicines with dovato. prescription dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with... just 2 medicines... in 1 pill,... dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen... to help you reach and stay undetectable. research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed... and get to and stay undetectable... can no longer transmit hiv through sex. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients... or if you take dofetilide. hepatitis b can become harder to treat while taking dovato. do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor,... as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, in
