goes right in to mexico. they have to stop it. we have to stop it. we're going to save lives on both sides of the border. we understand a strong and healthy economy in mexico is very good for the united states. very good. we want that to happen. by working together on a positive trade, safe borders and economic cooperation, i truly believe we can enhance the relation between our two nations to a degree not seen before circling in a very, very long ti. i think our relationship with mexico is going to get better. here's a brief summary of what actions are contained in my executive orders. the secretary of homeland security working with myself, my staff will begin immediate construction of a border wall.

[applause] so badly needed. you folks know how badly needed it is. it's a help but very badly needed. this will help mexico by deterring illegal immigration from central america and by disrupting violent cartel networks. as i've said repeatedly to the country, we're going to get the bad ones out, the criminal and the drug dealers and gangs and gang members and cartel leaders. the day is over when they can stay in our country and wreak havoc. we're going to get them out and we're going to get them out fast and john kelly is going to lead that way. [applause]

our order also does the following: ends the policy of catch and release at the border. requires other countries to take back their criminals. they will take them back. cracks down on sanctuary cities. empowers ice officers to target and remove those that pose a threat to public safety. calls for the hiring of another 5,000 border patrol officers. calls for the tripling the number of ice officers. [applause] and you both do an incredible job, but you need help. you need more. creates an office of homeland security, dedicated to supporting the victims of

illegal immigrant crime. [applause] for years the media has largely ignored the stories of americans and lawful residents victimized by open borders. to all of those hurting out there, i repeat to you these words. we hear you, we see you and you will never ever be ignored again. [applause] as i travel the country, i had the chance to get to know mothers that have lost their children to violence spilling over the border. i want to thank the remembrance projects. such incredible people for giving these families a voice. they're called angel moms for

good reason. because they are a voice to protect all of america's children. their children have not died in vain. believe me. [applause] pundits talk about how enforcing immigration laws can separate illegal immigrant families. but the families they don't talk about are the families of americans. forever separated from the people they love. they don't talk about that ever. as your president, i have no higher duty than to protect the lives of the american people. [applause] first, these families lost their

loved ones and endured a system that ignored them while at the same time constantly rewarding those that broke the law. for these families, it's been one injustice after another. but that all turns around beginning today. [applause] we're joined here this afternoon by parents whose children were horribly killed by individuals living here illegally. i will now read these parents names and ask them to stand. many have been friends of mine over the last two years and have supported me so dearly. i appreciate it. mary ann mendoza who lost her

son, brandon mendoza. [applause] fred fundringbur and his son, james, who lost billy. billy was fred's son and james' brother. billy's wife, natali, was also killed by an illegal immigrant. someone that should have never ever have been here. [applause] laura wilkerson who lost her 17-year-old son, beautiful josh. josh was special. where is laura? good. [applause] thank you. kerry ruiz and lucia ruiz jr.

who lost their young daughter, alicia. thank you very much. thank you. [applause] stephen ronabeck who lost his 21-year-old son, grant. thank you, stephen. [applause] we have many others from us with remembrance and from many groups. they're incredible people that have endured so much. i want to thank everybody for being here. you're very, very special people. thank you. [applause] nothing can ever make their pain go away, but i want you to know your children will not have lost their lives for no reason. they have set this incredible goal for so many. these were great young people.

they will always be remembered, always. we will never forget them. [applause] and to the parents and loved ones, you kept the flames of justice alive with your activism. keep it going. now together we will save thousands and thousands of lives when it comes to public safety. there is no place for politics. no republicans, no democrats, just citizens and goodcitizens. we want safe communities and we demand safe communities for everyone. we want respect, we want great schools. we want dignity and equality for

everyone. i will be a president, i promise you, for everyone. [applause] we will bridge our divisions, heal our wounds and unify our country. if we do that, if we work together, then there is nothing we cannot achieve as americans. the future is limitless. good luck to our new and brilliant leader at d.h.s., general john kelly. thank you, god bless you and god bless america. congratulations to john.

>> shepard: that was unexpected. president trump speaking to members of the department of homeland security where he talked about -- well, where he talked about our nation's security and he said today, if we can go back to the top of this, please, president trump speaking to members of homeland security where he talked about the nation's security, calling for the hiring of another 5,000 border officers and tripling the number of ice officers. he says he's creating an office to help support victims of undocumented crime while cracking down on sanctuary cities and ending the policy of catch and release for those in our country without documentation. more on all of that in just a moment. first, three big stories coming outs of washington. president trump vowing to launch a major investigation into unsupported claims of widespread voter fraud. the president said in a series

of tweeting this morning, "i will be asking for a major investigation voter fraud, including those registered to vote in two states, those illegal and even those registered to vote who are dead and many for a long time. depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures". so far the white house has provided no evidence of any kind to back up these claims. fox news is not aware of any reliable studies or information that suggests that there's widespread voter fraud anywhere in america. individual secretaries of state across the nation oversee elections. most of them happen to be republican and every secretary of state in the united states reports there is no widespread voter fraud. a pugh study shows not a single incident of voter fraud across the nation. paul ryan said yesterday, there is no evidence. president trump has said he would have won the popular vote

except that millions of people, three to five million people, voted illegally. again, he's presented no reliable evidence, and neither fox news or any other organization of any kind has presented any evidence of voter fraud. today a new and different investigation suggested by the press secretary, sean spicer. not a voter fraud in a presidential erection but voter irregularities. >> i think in terms of registration where you have folks that have moved or deceased. this is not just about the 2016 election but the integrity of our voting system. >> shepard: so it's not just about 2016 but voter registration, dead people and multistate registration. this is different from the allegations the president made. remember, president trump said he would have gotten up to five million more votes if people had president voted illegally.

president trump said one thing while his spokesman said another. the president focusing on national securityish you'res today including one of his major campaign promises to build a wall with mexico. the president told abc news that he plans to build the wall as soon as possible? >> when does construction begin? >> as soon as we can physically do it. >> months? >> i'd say months, yeah. i'd say in months. certainly planning on starting immediately. >> shepard: in the same interview, taxpayers will pay for the walls and mexico will eventually pay us back in complicated ways. he didn't explain how. president signed two immigration orders at the department of homeland security a short time ago. one is on increasing border security and constructing the wall. the other will cut federal grant money nor sanctuary cities and end the catch and release policy. the mexican officials said they would not pay for the wall and

they'll be meeting with the president shortly. our chief white house correspondent john roberts is live. what can you tell us about the executive orders, john? >> what you just saw was the emotional appeal, the central appeal that donald trump made during the election campaign about the rationale to tighten up the border and build the wall. that is crimes committed by people in this country illegally. you heard him mention brandon mendoza. saying he would create an office of victims of illegal aliens. making the argument that by building the wall, he can end the influx of central american families that have been coming into this country the last few years and an up tick after president trump was elected. let's see what this really does. fulfills his central campaign pledge to build a wall along the border of united states and mexico. hire additional border patrol

agen agents. he mentioned 5,000. more detention space. eliminate catch and release, which white house officials believe will end the influx of refugees and prioritize prosecution of criminal offenses, shep. >> shepard: lots of news coming today, john. thanks so much. much more on president trump's decision to launch this major investigation into voter fraud and the new investigation talked about by sean spicer. we'll hear from the "wall street journal," john bussey and remembering an icon of television. mary tyler moore has died. a look back on her life and career coming up. london's got the best of everything. cornwall's got the best of everything. sport sport nightlife nightlife (both) fashion

only tena overnight underwear ...with its secure barrier system gives you.... ...triple protection from leaks, odor and moisture. tena lets you be you . >> shepard: a lot to get to today. the investigation of widespread voter fraud that doesn't exist. more on that. first, the wall at the border of mexico and stop funding sanctuary cities. we'll bring in john bussey. the new foreign minister of mexico said the wall would be a slap at the dignity of the mexican people. they said if they have to pull out of nafta, they will. they're not paying for it. taxpayers are paying for it. that's it. we're paying for it. >> that's it in their mind. >> 11 to $30 billion. that's what mexico has said all

along. but there's lots of ways to saying they're paying for this. trim back foreign and or other facilities that send u.s. money into mexico and say, well, we cut back on that and with that money we used to build the wall. we'll see. but they have certainly staked their ground. this is something that president trump says is going to be built and funded by mexico. >> shepard: and starting in the next couple months. >> yeah, some version of it. there's some money available to kickoff building. but it's not anywhere near as expansive that people will think at the beginning. >> shepard: will there be push back from the right wing? >> they have to find the money for this. this is a big project. there's a question about whether or not a wall would do what president trump would like to have happened. >> shepard: the new homeland security secretary says it won't. >> there's other proposals that say it won't. specific blocks along the border, increased surveillance along the border in certain sections is much more effective

than building a wall across. it's a very expensive project. but he's also increasing the number of border agents. he's talking about increasing the number of immigration agents. a lot of pieces to this executive order. >> shepard: this is part of what appears to be a pattern of separation from the rest of the world. >> i think that his america first proclamation in the inauguration is what he's doing. >> shepard: as promised. >> we're seeing that. there's a question about the intent of this and the reason for this. >> shepard: what is that? >> the notion at the end where he's saying this is about saying american lives. there's no real database on how many people have been killed by illegal immigrants. this is more of a economic issue for a lot of americans and a cultural issue. much more sensitive. easier to do politics if it's about lives. >> shepard: thanks, john. in just a moment, more on the other big story out of washington today.

president trump allowing to launch an investigation of widespread voter fraud. something of which there's zero evidence. we'll speak with a journalist that said the president may be trying to save face or maybe it's something else. that's next. s video games. every day is a gift. especially for people with heart failure. but today there's entresto... a breakthrough medicine that can help make more tomorrows possible. tomorrow, i want to see teddy bait his first hook. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto was proven to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. if you've had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, don't take entresto. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood.

>> shepard: continuing coverage now. president trump's call to launch an investigation into his unsupported claims of widespread voter fraud. let's bring in davey stoddard. it's reported that the voter fraud happened. there has been no evidence. what is this about? >> we heard sean spicer, the press secretary, come out yesterday and reiterate several times that it's the president's belief that this has happened. he said many times it's a belief he maintains according to

studies and evidence he's received. then he cited the pugh poll that even pugh has said was mi misinterpreted -- >> shepard: and showed there was none. >> right. so what you saw is john roberts of fox news asking sean spicer, when jill stein, the green party candidate asked for a recount in key battleground states, didn't your lawyers say that as of their assessment, there was no fraudulent activity in this election in 2016? that's when sean today went on to talk about people being dead who are on the rolls and registered in several states. that sounds fine and there can be an effort state by state to clean up voter rolls. turns out two of -- the incoming

press secretary and chief strategist are registered in two states. people do die and they do move. that is different from charging that there was three to five million illegal votes that the democrats managed at a national level to affect in 50 state elections and let her lose in three battle grounds. so that's a totally different thing. if he calls for this investigation, shep, we have no idea how it will be handled. i collections are handled by the states, not the federal government. that's why it's so hard to rig a federal election. we're interested to know how much this will cost the taxpayer. >> shepard: john bussey suggests that the big picture is start an investigation, find some incidents, get people whipped up and put in roles to suppress the hat the democrats are afraid of. >> shepard: a pattern that we've seen in state after state over

the past four or five years. >> this is what the democrats are afraid of, the supreme court struck down part of the voting rights act. you've seen some of this about sessions becoming attorney general that democrats are afraid that he will use the justice department to restrict voting. right now they've been very concerned about voter i.d. laws passed in different states across the country and the end of early voting hours, which hindered more access to voting in key states in this election like ohio and north carolina. that's a big concern on the democrats part. i don't think president trump gave any indication that that's what he's going to do when reporters said yesterday that if this was the biggest most widespread voter fraud ever, why wouldn't he investigate it? it seems that was the response this morning so sean spicer wouldn't have to continue to answer questions about that. >> shepard: the list of falsehoods from the president is growing. does this have accumulative effect? >> it's really unfortunate with all of the flurry of activity

he's embarked on in terms of policy measures that he's stepped on his own story about photos that are -- the crowd assessments that were demonstrably false and sending his press secretary out to lie saturday night and now this. telling congressional leaders that know, you know, who know better, they were politely silent and making this a big deal for sean spicer to defend is a mistake. it's a waste of time and obviously hinders his credibility around the world and the credibility of our democracy. >> shepard: a.b. stoddard. >> thank you. >> shepard: the dow hitting the 20,000 mark for the first time. will it last? if you haven't checked your 401(k) recently, pull out your smart phone now. might be good. a true legend of american television has died. we're remembering the remarkable

"the new york times" says today she incarnated the modern woman on television and as "people" magazine puts it, not only was a beautiful brunette with the big brown eyes and distinctive voice assert -- a certifiable legend. she was a big proponent of animal rights and juvenile diabetes research. she was responsible for landmark shows like "rhoda", "the bob newhart show" ", lou graham" and

"hill street blues." trace gallagher has more. >> maybe, shep, the great estelle vision actress we ever saw. if you go back to the shows in the 50s, every once in a while you'll see "mary tyler moore pop up." before we saw her on "the dick van dyke show" she appeared in dozens of shows like ozzie and harriet and "sunset strip." it was the dancer turned actress that vaulted to stardom. you saw the picture of the cast. it was a great cast of characters with ted baxter in the newsroom and lou grant who went on to have his own show. "the mary tyler moore show" anchored a powerful saturday

night. moore was diagnosed with diabetes. i want to play a classic clip about spunk. watch. >> you know what? you've got spunk. >> well -- >> i hate spunk. >> yeah, you mentioned mary tyler moore with her producer, grant tinker started mtm productions behind shows like "hill street blues" and "rhoda." mary tyler moore started in movies like "ordinary people" for which she was nominated with an oscar. the same year, moore dealt with her own family when her son richard died from a gunshot wound to the head. it was later ruled to be accidental. mary tyler moore went on to talk about her years long battle with alcoholism and how she voluntarily entered the betty ford center. in 2011, moore had elective

surgery to remove a benign brain tumor but fully recovered. we talked for years and years how she fought, an advocate for diabetes, especially juvenile diabetes. listen to her as she testified before congress. >> for years, i kept the full impact of my diabetes under wraps while people new i had type one and that i was a long-time outspoken advocate for a cure and international chairman of jdrf. the general public didn't know the extend to which diabetes affected my day-to-day life. we will do everything we can to find a cure for you. we promise. >> and she did. she passed away early this morning. her condition, according to tmz, was so grim that many family members began gathering. a statement was released a short time saying "beloved icon mary tyler moore passed away at the

age of 80 in the company of friends and her loving husband of 33 years, dr. s. robert lavigne. a ground breaking actress and passionate actress for the juvenile diabetes research as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile." that is a statement from her spokesman. we're also starting to get a lot of twitter response coming in, shep. we've been looking at a lot of the old actors, gavin mcleod and ed asner who are not on twitter. and larry king said mary tyler moore was a dear friend, a fighter. rest in peace. michael keaton writes that "mary was a gem, iconic, a friend. i will miss her forever." mary tyler moore -- ed asner wrote, my heart goes out to you and your family. know i love you and believe in your strength. mary tyler moore's cause of death remains unknown, but she

reportedly had been on a respirator. >> shepard: she makes me feel like a teen again. she was on every day in my house. that was very good. the dow crossed 20,000 finally. the index shot up past that mark after they started trading this morning. stocks have been on a tear since donald trump won the presidency. we're up 154 points today. real tear since donald trump won the presidency in november. the past few weeks, the dow got oh so close to 20,000 before finally crossing the barrier today. the market bulls are betting president trump will help strengthen the economy. if you're counting, the dow is up 200% of its bear market low in 2009. come a long way, baby. gerri willis is here from the fox business network.

we new it was going to happen. >> the pros are like oh, gerri, how is i'd different than 1999? the truth is it's not. if you have a 401(k), you're richer today than yesterday. it's a positive. we all want to retire. this is an important move in my view. so ten days after trump elected, we punched 19,000. 42 days later, we punched through 20,000. significant moves. will you alluded to it? people think he will make big changeses to taxes, especially corporate taxes which he may bring down to 15 or 20% and regulations. he said he's going to bust up 75% of regulations which is hard to believe. it's a promise out there. and wall street loves that. >> shepard: of course, the risk is if the economy overheats. boom and bust. >> a lot of risks. you don't have to look at the economy. you can look what he's doing in the white house. if he fails to make good on significant promises, that could

drive the market lower. if he fails to make good on his promise and tariffs, that's not good to be good for the market either. let me tell you something positive. this is the take-away. this is a broad rally. the dow is just 30 stocks. >> the s&p and the nasdaq up, too. >> hitting new highs. probably today. they have been for some time. that's all good news. and look, your 401(k) will do better. awesome. the message for the economy is good as well. so that made mean more jobs. fingers crossed. >> shepard: we can hope. gerri willis, great to see you. >> great to see you. >> shepard: president trump says he's building the wall along the border with mexico. mexico will not pay for it, at least for now. mexico says they will never pay for it. turns out, we will pony up the money. what lawmakers are saying next.
