who have been crushed by this pandemic. >> also new today the department of justice dubbing the investigation into the capitol hill riots, one of the largest in u.s. history. so far more than 300 people have been charged and prosecutors are expecting at least 100 more. and the city of louisville is gearing up for a rally marking one year since the fating police shooting of breonna taylor. her mother speaking out this morning in an emotional interview with msnbc, talking about the hurt she still feels one year after the loss of her daughter. >> her life was taken away if her for no reason and it still don't make sense. there will still be no justice for that. >> i'm sure those sentiments are felt every single day. for all of you, we're going to take you to a live briefing by breonna taylor's family. that will happen about an hour for now. you see the other things over the next three hours, remarks by senator ron johnson over black lives matter protesters versus capitol hill rioters and what he said that's sparking calls of racism. in the 1:00 hour, donald trump's mar-a-lago saga. an interview i did one one guest caught fire around the world and that guest is back to tell me why and what happened. at 2:00 p.m. eastern i will talk with congressman ro khanna about the one thing he thinks is most important in the covid relief bill. and from washington to wilmington, covering the white house for us. we go to the big question on everybody's mind, when am i getting my money? let's go to amanda goldman on capitol hill. i'm hoping you have the answer for that because everybody wants to know, when is this going to hit my bank account? >> that's true, alex, i have been getting texts all morning as people are receiving their stimulus and eagerly refreshing their bank statement to see if it's come in. but it's part of the $1.9 trillion relief package president biden signed into law thursday. it will be welcome news across the country. to breakdown what we are seeing, it will be $1,400 direct payments to individuals making up to $75,000 with $2,800 for those jointly filing and making up to $150,000, and an additional $1,400 for dependent children as part of their budget. looking ahead, various people are trying to see how this will roll out. the irs is saying they will determine people's eligibility and the range of their price for these checks based on their 2020 tax filings and if they haven't yet filed for 2020, they look back to 2019. but we saw just yesterday congressional democrats joining victory at the white house to talk about what this means for americans. here's what senate majority leader chuck schumer said yesterday. >> what do we say to america? we say to america, help is on the way! help is on the way. you will receive your $1,400 checks in a few weeks. help is on the way. people are being vaccinated more quickly and more effectively than we ever imagined. help is on the way. half the children in america will no longer be in poverty. and help is on the way, our schools will open more quickly and more safely than anyone has ever thought. >> alex, you hear the victory lap there a just to think about this in a larger context as we saw play out over the last several weeks, the stimulus component of this check was largely popular, it was still a hurdle to get congressional democrats in line, both progressive and moderates who support this and there was no republican support for this package. it's not boding well as an omen for future legislative priorities to are this white house and how things will play out on the hill, alex. >> amanda, thank you very much for that. right now the biden administration is preparing for a nationwide tour to promote the new covid relief plan. let's go to monica alba, joining us from wilmington, delaware, where the president is spending the weekend. monica, appreciate what chuck schumer was doing there. i think president biden could actually cross the country with his wife and with his vice president at his side and say help is on the way and that would certainly get the message across but i imagine there's a bit more to it than that. >> they're branding it the help is here tour, alex. they're trying to send the message we were able to deliver for the american people and white house senior officials are really trying to cast this less as victory lap and more as an educational tour. that's why you're going to see all of these stops. but, of course, they're in critical states as well, places where democrats will have to fight hard to keep their seats and certain elections certainly in the senate next year. this is all by design and by strategy. you will see the president in a very important state in delaware on tuesday. the first lady in new jersey and vice president harris and her husband, doug emhoff, will head out west. they will be in las vegas and then in denver. so they're really, really trying to map all across the country what's in this relief bill and try to tell people how they will be able to benefit from it. you have president biden speaking to this exact kind of thinking and decision making for building these trips during his remarks in the roads garden yesterday. take a listen. >> we're going to be traveling the country to speak directly to the american people about how this law is going to make a real difference in their lives. we are showing it's possible to get big, important things done. for the first time in a long time, this bill puts working people in this nation first. >> the first event we're going to see alex, is monday at the white house where they're further going to explain some of the key pieces of the american rescue plan. but you see there the president talking about why he wants to speak to americans directly. they feel because of the polling, this is such a popular piece of legislation. it's less, again, about selling it and more about keeping it but then they also want to keep the pressure up in places where republican senators, obviously none of them supported this, came out against it because they're going to try to test the popularity of this over time, making a bet it will continue to be that popular but it depends over the next couple months how that pays. but as you see money hit the checks and income statements, likely this will be something quite popular among a large percentage of the americans. >> absolutely. monica quick, are you by a motor speedway or something, because there's a lot of noise in the background. sounds like cars. is that where you are? >> we are up on a highway here in wilmington, so that's right, a little bit of the ambience here. >> ambience, that's the right word. appreciate it, my friend. see you next hour. joining me now, a mechanic of the budget armed services transportation and structure committees. welcome back, matt. good to see you. so we were just talking about what president biden's going to do, gearing up now to sell his coronavirus relief package. what kind of reception do you think he's going to get across the country, and let's start with your constituents. >> he's going to get an amazing reception and it's not just going to come from democrats, it's going to come from americans of all political stripes. this bill gets shots in people's arms, money in people's pockets and kids back in school. it's what we need to beat this pandemic and every american knows that. >> all right. let's talk about what happened this week on thursday, president biden in his first primetime address, he really struck a hopeful tone, suggesting that our independence day, fourth of july, would also coincide with a sense of independence from the coronavirus. that timeline, congressman, do you agree with him? >> well, the president knows best here. he can make it happen. and i'm confident president biden will, because he's a leader who gets the job done. many and he's also a leader who calls out the best in americans. he said all of the right things in that speech. he talked about the timeline. he talked about how we were going to get this done. he talked about the ongoing risks and what we can all do to make our community safer. but what was more important than what he said was how he said it. he showed the best parts of the joe biden i know, which is he's an empathetic leader. he's a moral leader. he's someone who calls us to come together to do great things. and that's exactly what we're doing under his administration. >> all right, amen to all of that. we'll switch gears and take a look at the numbers from the department of justice and capitol hill riot investigation. you have 900 search warrants that have been executed in nearly all 50 states, as well as washington, d.c. 320 people facing charges and charges are expected against about 100 more. how alarming is the scope of this for you? >> well, it's not surprising because i was there and i saw just how -- how violent it was, how widespread it was. and this is exactly what needs to happen. of course it's shopping in the light of american history. we never had a president organize a mob against our own government. we can't forget that's exactly what happened. so pursuing justice here is exactly what we need to do. we need to make sure this never happens again. we need to make sure that every future president gets the message, that you don't organize against the government of the people of the united states of america. >> yeah, in terms of trying to make sure this doesn't happen again certainly in the short term, you've got thoughts persisting and defense secretary lloyd austin has extended the national guard's presence in d.c. through much of the spring. let's take a listen to senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's reaction. >> i'm extremely uncomfortable to the fact my constituents can't come to the capitol with all of this razor wire around the complex. reminds me of my last visit to kabul. now, i think we are continuing to overreact based on current threat levels to wlas needed here at the capitol. it looks terrible to have the beacon of our democracy surrounded by razor wire and national guard troops. >> so as you know, the top democrat and republican of the house armed services committee that you serve on, they want to reduce the number of national guard troops at the capitol. how about you, where do youp stadd on stand on this. >> we need to protect just like baghdad against terrorism and we're the un marine corps. but the threat is real and we need to protect the capitol. until we can reform the capitol police and deliver the kind of protection the capitol needs against these ongoing threats, we're going to have to have continued presence of national guard and even razor wire where it's necessary. i hate the fence too. i want to see it come down. but let's also take a second here, alex, and be honest about the senate majority leader. what a joke. he's saying we're overestimating the threat. this is a guy who underestimated donald trump, who coward before him, unwilling to stand up to him for years and that's why this happened. that's why there are militias are that are threatening the capitol because donald trump is calling him to do it and mitch mcconnell and his republican cronies are too afraid to stop that threat. let's be honest here about what's really going on, and i think if we do that, we can understand, yes, we all want the fence to come down but we have to make sure we're ready to secure the capitol first. >> to that point i'm curious how long all of this stays in place. is there new intelligence, sir, that would lead into the extending of the national guard there? >> i mean, i can't discuss intelligence on the air, but i can tell you that there are certainly an ongoing threat and all of us, certainly all of us on the house armed services committee want to see the truth only used when it is absolutely necessary. sadly right now it's still necessary. but i certainly hope we can reduce the number and do so soon and my constituents, along with mitch mcconnell's constituents, can come to this beacon of democracy in washington, d.c. and visit it like normal people. it does feel like baghdad or kabul now and that's wrong, but it's also because of these right wing extremists who were energized by donald trump and refused to be put down by mitch mcconnell and republicans who just can't be honest about this threat to american peace and security. >> so the pentagon keeps very busy but as you know, tucker carlson, fox news host, got the pentagon's attention this week after mocking recent changes made by the military to be more accommodating for women. let's take a look at that. >> so we've got new hair styles and maternity flight suits. pregnant women are going to fight our wars. it's a mockery of the u.s. military. >> okay. then you have pentagon spokesman john kirby responding. take a listen to this. >> what we absolutely won't do is take personnel advice from a talk show host or the chinese military. >> you are a veteran. i'm curious to your reaction to all of this, do you think the dod should have even bothered to respond to a tv personality? >> first of all, can you just clarify for me, did tucker carlson, does he know anything about serving the country? has he ever put on the uniform? has he ever risked his life to america? the answer is no to all three. he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. it's offensive not just to women in the military but to men in the military too. it's offensive to leaders in the military. it's offensive to everyone who's willing to put on a uniform to defend our basic values. and by the way, it's also offensive to women in the workplace all over america. these views would be extreme for the 1950s and that seems to be more of an appropriate place for tucker carlson to have his talk show. but i think given the audience that he commands, it was appropriate for the pentagon to respond. when i served in iraq on my third and fourth tours, i served with one of the best marines i have ever met in my life, one of the toughest combat leaders that i know, someone who was able to work more closely with the iraqi military and iraqi police than anyone else i had experience with, and she was a woman. and she was extraordinary. and ann fox is still a great friend of mine, was a model marine in every sense of the word. she was more combat effective than a lot of her male counterparts i could have chosen to work with me on this mission. and i would like to ask her what she thinks of tucker carlson in a bow tie talking about what's right for the military. and ultimately, john kirby's right, what tucker carlson is doing not just offensive to women or those who wear or have worn the uniform, it's helpful to the chinese, helpful to our adversaries to create division in america and amongst our rank. he was mocking the military and that's not something we should accept. >> here's something i think is also extraordinary, in addition to everything you just said, the fact you are someone who has served so valiantly this country, so many tours in iraq, for which i thank you and so do the rest of us, frankly. anyway, we're going to talk about structure next time. i know you have a $2.5 billion bill that's there 0 to support high-speed rail across this country. that's something i'm interested in so we will have you back that to talk about that as well. seth moulton, thank you very much. the concept of going maskless might appeal to some republican governors who say it's okay to go out but a new judge's ruling may stop that in the tracks. marking tragedy. one year ago today, a memorial honoring breonna taylor set to start soon. we will take you there live. o e. and more of the entertainment you love like apple music. and the beautiful iphone 12 on us when you buy one. only from verizon. ♪ taking you back... ...since way back. freshness and softness you never forget, with downy. there are many reasons for waiting to visit your doctor right now. but if you're experiencing irregular heartbeat, heart racing, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue or light-headedness, don't wait to contact your doctor. because these symptoms could be signs of a serious condition like atrial fibrillation. which could make you about five times more likely to have a stroke. your symptoms could mean something serious, so this is no time to wait. talk to a doctor, by phone, online, or in-person. a big milestone topping coronavirus he headlines, 100 million doses of the vaccine have been administered with 10% of adults now fully vaccinated. it brings president biden closer to his goal of getting 100 million shots into arms in his first 100 days in office. and with people desperate to get back to normal, new legal feis are emerging as states drop mask mandates. nbc's morgan chesky has more. >> reporter: the signs of life pre-covid beginning to show. state as cross the country lifting mask mandates and loosening restrictions, as vaccine availability increases. >> there will be no statewide restrictions on events or oklahomans. >> reporter: in texas the city of austin temporarily winning a legal battle with the state, the city now keeping their mask mandate in place at least the next two weeks. >> people need to wake up and realize the mask mandate, it's not a big deal. you don't get upset when you have to wear seat belts. >> reporter: and health experts agree. now is not the time to give up all precautions. >> but the key is hospitalizations and deaths remain high and we've been fooled before being too lax so now is the time to double down and see this through. >> and that was morgan chesky reporting there. we're going to bring in dr. natalie azar. always good to see you. thank you for joining me. this week we saw the president touting the success of the vaccine rollout and he said by may 1, every adult will be eligible to take a vaccine. by may 31, there will be another vaccines for all adults and by july 4th, there can be small gatherings to celebrate independence day, of course, taking on double meaning, the word independence. independence from the virus, right? what are your thoughts on this timeline? >> you know what, i think for the first time i can say i think it's ambitious but also realistic. we have from each pfizer and moderna, we have 200 million doses pledged for each of those, which equals 200 million people total. of course, it's a two-shot series and now we have up to 200 million doses of the j&j vaccine. so that gets us to 400 million. and we have 250 million adults to vaccine. so, yeah, alex, i think it is actually happening. really for the first time in a year i'm feeling incredibly optimistic we're getting to the finish line. >> that's a sense i feel everywhere, talking with people, there's positive in the air, which is great. but yet "the washington post" reporting biden's strategy is not without risks for manufacturing setbacks and logistical breakdowns as states seek to scale their programs to the rapid spread of new and more transmissible variants of the virus that can sicken people before they get vaccinated. so are there problems that could crop up? >> well, here's the thing, alex, and i always describe it like this, there are three levers, the vaccine, the variant and the behavior. regarding the variant, this is very, very real. the predominant one, of course, now in the country that is starting to rise is a uk variant. it's doubling every ten days. it's absolute employer transmissible. in just this past week, we had more data that is probably also deadlier. regarding the vaccine, we talked about that but, of course, there's always potential hiccups and snafus there. if everything goes well, we'll get to that benchmark. and now that brings us to the behavior, which is why for all of us in either public health or medicine, we're scratching our heads, not at all understanding why now we are suddenly pulling back in all of these states. at a
