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 goal was reached on the day 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 arms 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 vaccine. 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 expect to have 100 million 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 dosages. i cannot tell you how thrilled i am to see what he and his 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 neglect hundreds of thousands of people never had a chance to get this vaccine because they died before it was available. >> let's talk about where we are right now, in this effort. how are you in your state, what are you most concerned about at this moment? >>. it's just about doses, our logistics have been good, i feel good about that. we have more logistical capacity to get shots in arms. the only limitation is doses we are getting. it has gone up dramatically. it took us two months to get a million in the first two months of the effort and now in less than a, no we got the second million and we are over, i think, 2.2 million now. so, it is accelerating rapidly, and i feel confident that we will be able to match our logistical ability. the challenge for all states is to make sure that we do it in an equitable basis. those that live at the end of the road, don't from transportation, might have language issues or are hesitating about it, those are the challenges that we are all working very, very dedicated to make it equitable. we will a program in the state to reach folks in 32 languages and we have pop ups to help people with transportation limitations. >> you announced just today an emergency proclamation for schools in washington that will mandate inperson teaching to return by april while having the option for remote learning. why do you think it was an important distinction for families to not be required to have their children back in school if they deemed it unsafe? >> we want it to be wita win/wi there's some children, that this is working for them and the family circumstances, if that works, there's nothing wrong with this. and allowing parents to have, make that decision rather than, you know, the school board or the governor is a win/win situation. what we have with found though is when schools do reopen, the confidence goes through the roof in the ability to do so. about half of our students are on site education now. it has been extremely safe. we have had minimal inschool transmission. what we have found is that 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, we want to give everyone options. it makes sense and we are excited about the progress we are making on the subject is. >> i would be remiss if i did not ask you about your colleague, governor cuomo. pressure is mounting among democrats, what is your reaction to it and at what point does any governor dealing with controversy have to rethink his on or her ability to effectively lead? >> 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 s sitting in washington, focused on school to make a judgment. it's a judgment that new york will have to make and i'm sticking on to my covid effort here in washington today. >> thank you for your time. >> you bet. >> we will have more about the call for governor cuomo to resign and a long crisis involving children at the at the border. the similarities and the contrasts between this administration and the last. i'm erin. -and i'm margo. we've always done things our own way. charted our own paths. i wasn't going to just back down from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. psoriatic arthritis wasn't going to change who i am. when i learned that my joint pain could mean permanent joint damage, i asked about enbrel. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop permanent joint damage. plus enbrel helps skin get clearer in psoriatic arthritis. ask your doctor about enbrel, so you can get back to your true self. -play ball! enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common. or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. visit enbrel.com to see how your joint damage could progress. enbrel. eligible patients may pay as little as $5 per month. so you want to make the best burger ever?

i'm proud of it. >> reporter: and anderson, all of this really, the leading up to what led up to all this today, both the senators are saying that because of the multiple credible allegations, that the governor has lost confidence of his governing partners and the legislators here in the state. and that is why, they have finally come to the conclusion that he needs the resign. >> so, if thefuses to resign and the state attorney general's investigation takes time, does the focus shift to what the legislature may do? >> reporter: that's right, it would focus on the assembly. they have started an impeachment investigation that will give them subpoena power, they can depose witnesses and it may rest with them ultimately. there's a growing number of assembly members that are t sayg they want to see the investigation play out and they are calling for resignation. that investigation involves the nursing home scandal. so there's multiple investigations and multiple things that they are looking at, anderson. >> i appreciate it. in perspective now, from cnn's political analyst, maggie haberman, and maggie, now that both democratic senators from new york have called for governor cuomo to resign. joining other new york democrats. 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 i think andrew cuomo is digging in, which is what he does. we have seen him over time politically bide his time, and take his time and see where things go. i don't expect him to change his stance over the next couple of days on resigning. i do think it's going to be more untenable depending what else comes out. there was a question at the conference call from a wabc reporter asking him if any of the relationships had been con con consentual, he noticeably did not answer it. i think we have to wait and see what else comes on out, at had minimum, it does become hard for him to continue saying he is doing business as usual, especially with the answers he gave in the conference call. he was raising questions on the women's motives, suggesting he was improper and engaged in sexual harassment and misconduct. he was suggesting that people are out to get him essentially. he is suggesting that it's unfair that he is a political outside er. the son of a three-time govern er, worked for bill clinton and married to a kennedy is not. i don't know how long it will go, i don't expect him to go on his own, barring something likepresident biden asking him privately to go. >> you as a u.s. attorney investigated governor cuomo, what, how do you see this, what -- how do you see it playing out? >> well, look, i think it's very important to understand what andrew cuomo is like, based on reporting, based on experience. based on his track record. and one of the things i can tell you from my time looking at the moreland commission issued that governor cuomo does not like to be investigated. he does not like his allies to be investigated and he likes to control things. and with respect to that commission, he was supposed to be looking at public commission, that behind the scenes, he and others affiliated with him, tried to direct what he did, and reject what they were doing and he shut down that commission prematurely, half way through the intended tenure, because he likes to control things. he also likes to retaliate against people. so, you saw that even at the beginning of the saga, with respect to the sexual harassment allegations he tried to pick the person who was going to be the outside investigator. he trade to pick one of the people who was going to pick the person to be the outside investigator. so i think it's important that letitia james has taken her mandate and appointed two outside independent people who cannot be intimidated by andrew cuomo and his allies and not be bullied by andrew cuomo and his allies and i think we will get a fair result before not too much time has passed. >> i thought it was interesting that the governor kind of referencing cancel culture as though this was just another example of ramp ant cancelling of people in public life. >> i think that he is using a playbook that there's been a love on comparisons that people have made to other govern ers who have faced, you know, allegations like this, ralph northland was one, and i don't think it's the playbook he is using. i think he is using the donald trump playbook. you are coming after me, i will not give in to your will. what he is accused of is related to two the laws he signed in to law about sexual misconduct that he is accused of breaking by these women's allegations. that's what this comes down to. i think it will factor in to the investigation. i think it's right, there will be an investigation with answers sooner rather than later because i think the officials around the state recognize that having this hanging overall of their heads is problematic, but the cancel culture line and the one that i referenced earlier about how he is not part of the political club. among his other pieces of comments, he leads the national governor's association. he is the political club. the other members don't necessarily like him. but until recently they feared him and that's the big change right now. >> and governor cuomo, in the press call, referenced the last allegation, did not specify which, but he said, quote, it's not true, i have not had a sexual relationship that was inappropriate, end quote. the governor used to be attorney general, he knows how to be precise with his words. in this investigation, who will decide what is, or is not appropriate? >> i think the investigators will not necessarily make that determination. they are going to layout the facts. you know, if there's a violation of law, they will make a rereferral of s
