Joe Biden quotes his mother more than any president, even Vice President Pence, didn't talk about mother as much as Joe does.

Welcome, as my mom would say, God love you all. We got a lot of work to do.

My mother would say, God love him. My mother would say, God bless you, son, no purgatory for you.

As my mother used to say, hush up, Joey. And as my mother would say, hope you keep me in your prayers too. As my mother, Ms. Graham would say, God love you. As the able, as my mom would say, be able to walk a mile in your shoes if you want to know me. Because my mother would say, God love you all. If you talk like that, as my mother would say, you get your mouth washed out with soap. Remember how he dilly-dallyed, as my mother used to say? As my mother would have said, enough is enough is enough. His mother said a lot of things. God love you indeed. Good morning. Welcome to morning, Joe. It's Friday, March 19th. With us, we've got MSNBC contributor, Mike Barnacle, and White House reporter for the Associated Press. Jonathan, Lemire, Joe, and Mika have the morning off. It is a busy morning, though, Mike, though. As Casey just mentioned, we're getting fans in the stands for baseball. We just learned that from the governor of New York, Mets, Yankees, 20% capacity, to a few thousand fans in there. At least it's a start. I know how excited you are about the Yankees' hot start in spring training and seeing some of those great Yankee fans populating that stadium in the Bronx. As my mother would say, actually, I can't say that on the year. Yeah, you better not. We're going to have 12% capacity at Fenway Park.

Yeah.

Lemire, you excited for the Yanks?

They're looking good in the spring.

Willie, my question is, as Yankee Stadium fills up to only, you know, 10, 15, 20% capacity,

that's obviously going to leave a lot of empty seats, particularly down low behind home plate. So my question for you is, how will that be different than any other season? That's true. That was a nice wind-up to one that really hits. That's true, though. Yeah. I mean, the seats are so expensive down there behind all the plate. Yeah, I don't want to hear it from you about the nice and good seats, Mike.

All right, let's get to the news today.

President Joe Biden is expected to deliver on his administration's promise of 100 million COVID shots in his first 100 days in office.

And I'm proud to announce that tomorrow, 58 days into our administration, we will have met my goal of

administering 100 million shots to our fellow Americans. That's weeks ahead of schedule. And even with

the setbacks we face during the winter storms, I've always said, that's just the floor. We will not stop until we

beat this pandemic. Next week, I will announce our next goal to put shots in arms. This is a time

for optimism, but it's not a time for relaxation. I need all Americans. I need all of you to do your part.

Meanwhile, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Atlanta today in the wake of

the spa shootings that left eight people dead on Tuesday, including six women of Asian descent.

It is the president and vice president's first joint trip since taking office.

The visit initially was scheduled as part of the administration's tour to promote the COVID relief package.

So Jonathan Lemire, the president and vice president, as I said, this was long on the books to go down and push the COVID relief package and talk about its benefits, but quickly became something

different. They've canceled that part of the trip and made the focus the terrible attack on Tuesday at those spas.
