smallest thing from using their first name in an email and/or when he would talk to somebody on the phone, checking in with them and seeing how they were and not just getting down to business. >> well -- >> the impact he made on his students, the stories, i was laughing and laughing reading these emails and also crying and crying because such touching stories and just such an amazing man that -- >> mora, you know, i want to thank you because, you know, it's -- you've beared your grie in a way so few would have the ability to do and there is no right or wrong way to handle dw grief but the way you've chosen to share yours has brightened our lives. it has. i know that's the gift of him but it is the gift of you. >> it is the gift of him. thank you, erin. good talking with you again. >> thank you, mora. thanks to you. anderson starts now. we begin with the growing calls on new york governor andrew cuomo to step down from some of the heaviest hitters. si s we are joined now, tell me about those calling on the governor to resign. >> the leaders of the party here in new york state. senator chuck schumer, the majority leader and senator christian gillibrand. to think we started the day by hearing from congressional members and leaders in congress calling on the governor to resign and then we ended the day with the two top democrats also now calling on the governor to resign. >> we're going to come back to you in a few minutes for more in depth coverage but quickly, how many allegations are there as of tonight against the governor? >> reporter: so cnn, yeah, so cnn is reporting on six allegations. there is a new allegation coming from a reporter who covered the governor back in 2014 where she accuses him of inappropriately toe touching her at the time and inappropriate behavior. that is the latest individual that cnn is reporting on, anderson. >> we'll have more on this shortly. right now a first for the first time in a long time, the covid milestone we crossed today was neither a cause for sadness as it was for half a million fatalities or an occasion to remember what our world used to be like a year and a day ago. instead, this latest marker for where we stand signals better times ahead. today the country crossed the 100 million vaccination mark. tonight more than 101 million shots have been administered. the golfs al was reached on the president biden signed the covid relief package. day 52 of the administration. days ahead of the schedule he set and eight days ahead of the original version he revised last night. >> when i came into office, you may recall, i set a goal that many of you said was kind of way over the top. i said i want to get 100 million shots in people's faarms in my first 100 days in office. we won't meet that goal but beat that goal because we're actually on track to reach this goal of 100 million shots in arms on my 60th day in office. >> that's not exactly accurate. the golfs not set particularly high compared to what the previous administration was going to do. they have passed it. with the country topping 2 million vaccinations a day, it was one of the safer predictions to make. it is also welcome development wherever you stand politically. red and blue states alike are benefits from growing vaccine availability and republican governors are saying so. yet, to republicans in washington and on fox news, one thing matters more giving the credit to the former president. house minority leader mccarthy tweeting quote president biden's plan is to rely on the work done by operation warp speed or this from the republican chair row fan mcdonald he's claiming operation warp speed never existed. here is sean hannity last night. >> joe, you want unity, thank donald trump. no trump, novak sevaccine. stop taking credit for something you had nothing to do with, nothing. >> here the former president put out this statement a couple days ago quoting now i hope that everyone remembers when they're getting the covid-19 often referred to as the china virus vaccine if i wasn't president, you wouldn't be getting that beautiful shot for five years at best and probably not at all. i hope everyone remembers. that is how he spoke, isn't it? keeping them honest, operation warp speed pumped billions of dollars into the effort and credited with taking the risk out of testing for companies that might not have been willing to take the chances they did. it was wildly successful. if the president wants any credit for that which he certainly deserves, he has to accept responsibility for the failures of his administration which were many on testing, prevention that contributed to the sickening death toll. he also has to own up to the lies and the string of wild promises and moving goalposts. >> we peexpect to have 100 milln doses available certainly before the end of the year. >> we'll have manufactured at least 100 million doses before the end of the year and likely, much more than that. we will deliver 100 million doses of a safe vaccine bump the end of the year. if authorized, tens of millions of vaccine doses will be available this month. >> so plenty of promises, not much follow through. vaccines began coming out in december. the head of warp speed apologizes for slow deliveries to at least 14 states. this was not a priority for the out going president who was focused mainly on overturning the election and making what was a life saving effort by so many dedicated people all about himself. reading a tweet since taken down from just after the election, the @usda and democrats wouldn't let me get a vaccine prior to the election so instead it came out five days later, as i said all along. never mind, ending the pandemic is his election day shot in the arm. the president who successfully handled a dire national emergency and brought the country through it would likely win an election, likely in a landslide. a killer virus, test of political loyalty and did the same for mask wearing holding one dangerous rally after another as the outbreak accelerated and turned his own brush with the virus into another chance to teach all the wrong lessons which absent of vaccine were lessons how to get sick and possibly die. think about that. without a vaccine modelling safe behavior is all you can do yet, he did the opposite. all the time. and revelled in it and unlike the current president, as well as presidents obama, bush and carter, when it came time to get vaccinated and set the example. he got his in secret. so did his wife. and they never said a word. the former president also made a point of publicly dissing a number of democratic governors including jay inslee of washington state. where do you think we are in the state of pandemic where we are now but what do you make of the former president's allies lashing out at president biden for a speech that was frankly very light on partisan politics, no bragging about getting a massive bill just passed. it was heavy on medical science and public health. >> it disappointing, perhaps not terribly surprising. the republican leadership wants to be on the titanic with the former president and i thought joe biden's speech was so refreshing because it really did speak to all americans, not just to his base and i think that's one of the reasons he is doing so well in the approval ratings that he enjoys which are tremendous now because he's speaking to all americans and delivering big time on these doeg dosages. i cannot tell you how thrilled i am to see what he and his a administration are doing to vaccinate because he's willing to do what the previous occupant refused to do, use the defense production act and personally take responsibility, be active on a daily basis. the contrast could not be more clear so i'll tell you i'm thrilled having joe biden in this leadership position and i can't feel warm and fuzzy about the previous occupant whose total negligent hundreds of thousands of people never had a chance to get this vaccine because they died before it was available. look, we could have saved hundreds of thousands of people had we had some leadership out of washington d.c. that we did not have and we governors did all we could but when he fought against us on mask and social distancing everything else, that means hundreds of thousands of people never had a chance to get this vaccine. but i prefer to look forward rather than backward. >> so let's talk about where we are right now in this effort. how are things in your state in w ? needs t what needs to happen? >> it's about dosing. our logistics? what needs to happen? >> it's about dosing. our logistics , the only limiting factor is the number of doses we've got and it's gone up dramatically. about 44% this month. it took us about two months to get a million in the first two months of the effort and less than a month we've got the second million and we're over, i think, 2.2 million now so it is accelerating rapidly and i feel confident we'll be able to match our la jogistical ability. the challenge for all of us in the states is to make sure we do this on an equity basis to get the people who live at the end of the road, who do not have transportation, might have language issues, might have some hesitancy about and those are the challenges we're all working very, very dedicateded to make this equatable. we have a program in our state to reach folks in 32 languages. we're doing popup clinics to go to where people are who have transportation limitations and president biden'sed a pin station is helping, too. >> you announced an emergency proclamation to have teaching return by april while still having the option to remote learn by april. why can parents not have children back in school? >> there are families that prefer remote and there are children this is working for them and the family circumstances if that works, this is nothing wrong with this and allowing parents to make that decision and the school board and the governor is a win, win situation. the confidence goes through the roof and the ability to do so. about half of the students are on site education now and it is extremely safe. when the schools do reopen, both the parents and the teachers and the community very rapidly get on board and the vast majority of students go back and prefer an on site situation, but we want to give everybody options this makes sense. i'm very excited about this progress we're making here on this subject. >> just lastly, i would be remiss if i didn't ask about your democratic colleague governor cuomo. the calls for him to resign are mounting among chuck schumer. i'm wondering your reaction and at what point does any governor dealing with controversy has to rethink his or her ability to effectively lead? >> well, listen, we know these are very serious allegations. the number of them are most concerning. they all deserve a very serious investigation that needs to happen in new york, but it's probably not for me sitting in washington focused on covid in schools right now to make a judgement. this is what judgment in new york has to make and i'm sticking to my covid effort here in washington today. >> governor inslee, appreciate your time, thank you. coming up next, we'll have more on governor cuomo and calls for him to resign and how pieces may have changed some of what we're seeing from him tonight. a new president facing a long running and emotional steering crisis involving children at the border and similarities and contrast between this administration and the last. tracfone wireless gives you more control. just swap your sim card (whistles) you can also keep your phone, keep your network, keep your number, $20 a month, no contract. don't keep that case though... this is your wake-up call, people. tracfone wireless. now you're in control. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic® helped me get back in it. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic® ♪ my zone?

i'm proud of it. >> reporter: and anderson, all of this leading up to what led up to all of this today, that both the senators saying that because of the multiple credible allegations that the governor lost confidence of his governing partners and the legislators here in the state and that is why they have finally come to the conclusion he needs to resign. >> the attorney general's investigation could take time. does the focus shift to what the legislature needs to do? >> reporter: they started an impeachment investigation that will give them subpoena power and be able to depose witnesses, interview witnesses. it may rest with them ultimately. there is a growing number of assembly members that are also saying that they want toe see the investigation play out but they also are calling for his resignation. remember, anderson, that investigation also involves the nursing home scandal. so there are multiple investigations and multiple things they are looking at, anderson. >> appreciate it. thanks again. perspective from cnn political analyst and white house core respon -- correspondent maggie haberman. maggie, now that both democratic senators from new york called for gloveovernor cuomo to resig has it reached a critical mass and if he doesn't resign, is there any way he can effectively govern? >> so, i don't think it's reached a critical mass. it's reached a growing mass. it has room to grow and andrew cuomo is digging in and doing what he does. he politically takes his time to see where things go. i don't expect him to chance his stance on resigning. i do think this is going to become more untenable depending what else comes out. there was a question at his press conference call from a wabc reporter asking if any of these relationships had been cons consensual. i assume that question didn't come out of nowhere. andrew cuomo didn't answer it. i think we have to wait and see what else comes out. i think at minimum, it does become very hard for him to continue saying he is going to do business as usual especially with the answers that he gave in that conference call today, anderson. he was raising questions about the women's motives for, you know, suggesting that he had been improper and engaged in sexual harassment and misconduct. he was suggesting that people are out to get him essentially. he was suggesting that it is unfair he's a political outsider, which the son of a three-term governor that worked for bill clinton and married to a kennedy is not. i don't know how long this can go but i don't expect him to go on his own barring something like president biden asking him privately to go. >> yeah, i mean, you as a u.s. attorney investigated governor cuomo over the commission charges rooting up corruption that the governor shut down abr abruptly, how do you see this -- i mean, how do you see this playing out? >> well, look, it's very important to understand what andrew cuomo is like based on reporting and experience and track record and one of the things i can tell you from my time looking at the commission issued, was that governoloverno does not like to be investigated and likes to control things. with respect to that commission that is supposed to be indep independent, behind the scenes he and others affiliated with him tried to reject certain things they were doing and he shut down that commission prematurely, half way through its intended tenure because he likes to control things. he also likes to retaliate against people. so you saw even at the beginning of the saga, with respect to the actual harassment aloe legalleg he tried to pick one of the people who was going to i can many the person to the outside investigator. i think it's incredibly important that leticia james has taken the mandate and appointed two outside independent people who cannot be intimidated by andrew cuomo and allies and cannot be bullied by andrew cuomo and allies and i think we'll get a fair end result probably before not too much time has passed. >> maggie, i thought it was interesting the governor mentioning cancel culture as if this was another example of this rampit cancelling of people in life. >> i think he is using a playbook that there is a lot of comparisons that people have been making to other governors who have faced, you know, allegations of i'm propimpropri. he's using the donald trump playbook. you're
