the same scheme he had used on the michigan legislators. it didn't work with those public servants, either. think about it. the president of the united states was calling public officials, calling from the white house, inviting them into the oval office, telling them to disenfranchise voters of their state, telling them to overturn the will of the american people. also he could take the election for himself. in georgia, a state trump had counted on for victory, his conduct was perhaps the most egregious. on november 11 isth republican secretary of state brad rathens perger said he believed the votes were accurately counted for biden. trump went on a relentless attack. here are just a few examples that he tweeted 17 times in the coming week. there was just a few. calling hail disaster, obstinate, not having a clue, being played for a fool, and being a so-called republican. all because rathens perger was doing his job, securing the integrity of our elections and this had consequences. he and his familiaritily received death threats. quote, yo

brooke, you'll see the factory behind me here outside of kalamazoo, michigan in southwest michigan. this is the very place where the world was watching on december 13th as the vaccination rolled out on to the highways and into the plains. it's been a big achievement since then but there's been bumps in the road as well. that's owned by the biden administration, one of the reasons why he's here with his top advisers on the coronavirus team. jeff zients as well as some others here trying to get a look at this and speed this up as winter turns into spring and spring into summer. he wants 300 million dose available by the end of july. we'll see if the u.s. reaches that goal, brooke. >> hang with me because i think we got our two-minute warning before we seat president. to the of the 3 million doses before july, you know, there are so few though americans when you look at the percentages of actually having been vaccinated, you know, the double doses. >> right. >> you know, and how many -- it's just -- the goal posts have been moving. i mean, he has some explaining to do. >> has some expl

announcer: president biden toured the michigan plant today in kalamazoo michigan. he announced a new cancer initiative. >> hello, everyone. it is a great honor to welcome you to and your team to kalamazoo michigan site. accomplished in 1948, our kalamazoo site is one of three manufacturing plants in the u.s. engaged in the manufacture of the bio tech vaccine. we've been working around the clock throughout the pandemic to ensure supply of critical hospital medicines as well as the covid-19 vaccine. from hour one of this presidency and well before the elections, president biden has demonstrated an understanding of the emergency of this pandemic a deep concern and an unwaivering respect in this. as of february 17, we have supplied 40 million doses to the u.s. government and our shipment accuracy is 99.9%. of course, recognizing the urgency of vaccinating as many americans as quickly as possible. we are taking steps to further accelerate our production. we have found a great ale in the biden administration, which is significantly aided our empltsd in a number of areas,

despite this, michigan made significant strides. yesterday we surpassed one million doses of vaccines administered statewide. we jumped more than 20 places in the ranking in the past few weeks. michigan has made progress because we have been intentional and focused. we have set forth clear goals for our state and vaccinating partners with the expectation that 90% of the vaccines are administered within seven days. we are also laser focused on equity. we have attainable goals of having no disparity in vaccination rates across ethnic and racial communities. it is a tragedy, but not a surprise, that covid-19 disproportionately impacted communities of color. the disparity is directly related to structural inequities and historical racism that caused communities of color who have less access to resources. michigan has been a leader in fighting covid-19 disparities when it comes to cases and deaths. we did this by engaging trust with community members by using data and developing strategic messaging and collaboration with communities of c

more people voted in michigan than elsewhere before.ost election shenanigans and through the court of public opinion really covered that truth. and to the point -- to the extent we were worried about the security of our elections last year, we ultimately found the greatest security threat was not foreign interference, but actually these domestic attacks in the form of lies and misinformation that was spread in an intentional calculated way to intentionally mislead people and sow doubt in our elections and the misuse and abuse of those who have the very privilege to present arguments in a court of law, for them to abuse that privilege, to intentionally try to undermine the will of the people is particularly pernicious. it was unprecedented and it was particularly challenging and disappointing given the fact that it was in line with a very successful election that saw so many people on both sides of the aisle engage in the process and believing in the process through deciding to cast their votes in november. >> attorney general, there hav
