half hour after that. >> we'll see you at 11:00. have is a great day. good morning. breaking news. president trump calls for a major investigation on voting fraud after doubling down on false claims that millions took part in the election illegally. this as he gets set to sign an executive order today on building the wall. >> we will build the wall. >> the president also moving to temporarily ban immigration from several muslim countries. we're live at the white house. supreme contenders. president trump is narrowing his choices for the supreme court.

the names at the short list, with the announcement expected in the coming days. secret battle. sportscaster erin andrews reveals her brave fight against cervical cancer. why she kept it quiet for months and why she credits her high profile stalking trial for helping her beat the disease. and moment of impact. a passenger train slams into a fedex truck, slicing the tractor-trailer in half. miraculously no major injuries. the surprising reason behind why it happened, today, wednesday, january 25th, 2017. >> from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1-a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. 7:00 out on the west coast. we're happy to have natalie here while savannah continues on maternity leave and what about that video? >> that video is crazy.

i mean, that truck you see spliced right in half. fortunately, no one on the train or in the truck were injured. wow, that is pretty frightening. >> we'll tell you much more about that. but let's start with breaking news. after doubling down on claims of voter fraud, president trump is now promising a major investigation even though those claims have been widely debunked. he is calling today a big one for national security, including a move to fund the wall on the mexican border. our political team has complete coverage. peter alexander joining us now from the white house. he'll start it off. peter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. president trump is putting the power of his office behind yet another major project. today's focus immigration and border security. senior administration official tells nbc news the president will sign executive orders to quote prioritize the removal of criminal aliens and to construct a new barrier along the mexican border during his visit to the department of homeland security

this afternoon. >> mr. may -- >> reporter: this morning president trump is taking the first step to fulfill his signature campaign promise. >> i will build a great, great wall. on our southern border. >> reporter: expected to sign an executive order directing the shifting of federal funds to start the construction of a border wall. the senior administration official says that mexico will ultimately pay for that wall. mr. trump offering a preview tweeting big day planned on national security among many other things. we will build the wall. also breaking overnight, reports of the president's broader proposed immigration plan that includes according to the associated press at least a four month halt on refugee admission and a temporary ban from those coming from muslim majority countries that include iran, iraq, libya, somalia, sudan and yemen. even as president trump met with the congressional leaders, there was claims over the voter fraud. >> that's a total nonsensical

statement. >> this is going to undermine his ability to govern this country. >> reporter: the president's press secretary sean spicer backing up his boss. >> he believes what he believes based on the information he's been provided. he's believed this for a long time. >> reporter: but independent fact checkers and even house speaker ryan say there's nothing to substantiate mr. trump's claim. >> i have seen no evidence to that effect and i made that very, very clear. >> reporter: if proven it wouldn't be an enormous scandal but massive crime. the national association of secretaries of state reaffirming the systemic integrity of the election process saying it's not aware of any evidence supporting president trump's voter fraud claims but open to learning more about the concerns. president trump promising action this morning. on twitter asking for a major investigation into voter fraud including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal. and those who registered to vote who are dead, adding depending on results we will strengthen up voting procedures.

at stake, the administration's credibility after a series of inaccurate claims. inflating the inaugural crowd size. and mr. trump ignoring his earlier criticism of the intelligence committee that he compared to nazi germany. >> that's something that nazi germany would have done and did do. >> reporter: claiming the media was to blame. >> they made it sound like i had a feud with the intelligence community. >> reporter: all of it threatening to overshadow mr. trump's agenda. including his latest executive orders resurrecting the controversial keystone and dakota pipelines both of which president obama opposed. >> we will build our own pipeline. we will build our own pipes. that's what it has to do with. like we used to in the old days. >> reporter: president trump also teeing up one of the most important decisions -- promising to an news his supreme court -- announce his supreme court nominee next week. >> we have outstanding candidates and we'll pick a truly great supreme court

justice. >> reporter: insiders say the leading conterpdzs are all federal appeals judges appointed by president bush and white men and democrats are gearing up for a fight. after president obama's nominee, merrick garland never even got a hearing. within the last few moments, seven protesters climbed a crane. you can see the banner, it reads greenpeace in the corner and if the camera pulls out, it has in giant letters the word resist. just blocks away from the white house at this hour. late tuesday seemingly out of nowhere, trump took to twitter, warning that if chicago doesn't fix the horrible carnage there, i will send in the feds. it turns out that the president was likely watching fox news

that ran a segment on that very topic, just minutes earlier. matt and natalie, back to you. >> peter alexander on a very busy day at the white house. back now to the border call and how is that playing out on the border? gadi schwartz is live with more. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. we don't know what president trump's wall is going to look like yet, but we do know what a border fence looks like. this is a piece of the 700 miles of border fencing that separates the united states and mexico. there's another -- about 1,400 miles that's unprotected. we have border patrol, but we don't have a border fence. however, donald trump has said he does not want a border fence, he wants a border wall and he wants mexico to pay for it. it's the constant refrain, we have heard his supporters chanting build a wall. but residents think a wall is going to be particularly effective. the same principles apply as to the fence. they say they'll continue to

come over it and under it. in fact, one of the guys i spoke to on this side of the fence says it takes about 15 seconds to jump this fence. so again, a lot of people saying it's not going to be particularly effective. we'll see how much it will cost. >> gadi schwartz, a big fence. 15 seconds to jump it. wow. msnbc's ari melber is here with today's fact check tied to the trump administration's widely debunked claim that millions voted illegally in this election. >> this started monday night when he told congressional leaders he only lost the popular vote because of alleged illegal votes and sean spicer said that a 2008 study by the nonpartisan pew research center supported the claim that many people who were noncitizens voted. both those claims however are false according to the findings of election authorities. there was no major voter fraud

in in election which is typical. authorities say it's rare for people to take the personal risk of breaking the law to vote when they're not authorized. republican and democratic officials oversee voting in all 50 states and they're responding to the latest claims by reiterating there's no evidence that supports the voter fraud claims made by trump. what about the one specific study that mr. spicer cited? it was from the pew study. in 2012, they found 24 million voters were inaccurate because people died or moved. when it claimed there was voter fraud back in november the author stressed his paper had no findings about the fraud and he spoke out yesterday against the claim, saying there's zero evidence of fraud in the election. bottom line -- trump and his aides have reason to know this evidence and reason to know they're mischaracterizing it which makes the repetition of the falsehoods problematic.

now, the latest news of course, matt, was the tweets we can put them up on the screen after this fact check aired. trump tweeting a call for the investigation into fraud, but only cited registration issues. like voter rolls including dead people. now we have asked the white house whether the president is calling for a criminal inquiry into voter fraud or something else. >> we'll probably know more about this by the end of the day, ari. thank you very much. appreciate it. >> changing by the hour. as we said, president trump is promising to nominate a new supreme court justice by next thursday. nbc's steve kornacki has a closer look at three names in the running. before we talk about the short list here, explain the process of the nomination and what republicans might do to surpass even the democrats. >> right, remember the back story, for a year this seat has been vacant since antonin scalia's death. the democrats now obviously furio furious, there's a threat to

filibuster and the republicans could change the rules of the senate, make it a simple majority of the vote and they have the 50 to get it through. that's drama that's playing out here. >> what are the names we'll be hearing? >> three sort of that nbc news is looking at potentially as trump's short list. maybe the finalist for the thing. start with william pryor. what can we tell you about him? federal judge. all three are federal judges. what would the pros and cons be from looking at pryor? we mentioned scalia, a vocal and outspoken person. that's pryor. very outspoken. of course that would mean this would be an 11 on a scale of one to ten in terms of a fight from democrats. that's one name out there. here's neil gorsuch, he's out of colorado. you can see -- there you go. you can see what you're supposed to see -- there it is. his biography there. but what trump be seeing in terms of pros and cons, this

might be a low key scalia. you don't have the outspoken statements and would that reassure democrats and make them put up less of a fight. another option, number three, thomas hardiman. another federal judge. but what's interesting when you talk about hardiman it's the life story, the biography. you have to sell this candidate to the american people in a way. blue collar upbringing. worked his way through college as a taxi driver. did not go through the ivy leagues. a bit of a different story. of course, conservatives say maybe they're not quite as reassured by his record so far. that he really be one of them for the long term. so maybe the base has concerns. >> when you compare this fight we're going to see over this nomination, and compare it to infrastructure and health care, this is the big fight. >> democrats have been waiting for a year because they were so furious the seat wasn't filled when obama was president. well, greta van susteren is interviewing paul ryan today.

you can see that tonight on msnbc. breaking news from wall street this morning. the dow jones industrial average has reached a major milestone, crossing the 20,000 mark for the first time in history. and it's hovering just above 20,000 right now. cheers could be heard from the floor of the new york stock exchange shortly after the open. boeing and caterpillar contributed to the most gains. forget the flu, the bug to avoid is the nora virus. outbreaks across the country bringing misery to millions of families even forcing some schools to close. nbc's tom costello is in washington with that story for us. good morning. >> reporter: hi, good morning. not a very good morning for a lot of folks nationwide who are sick in bed this morning. and infectious disease experts say the nora virus is one of the contagious and hardiest known. it spreads in close quarters

othink of hospitals, and schools. the symptoms can send you to bed for days. the vomiting and diarrhea -- >> i had it saturday, sunday my older one had it. tuesday after school my youngest one got it for the second time. >> reporter: in one chicago high school, more than a thousand students and 50 teachers caught the virus in a few days. classes cancelled. outbreaks in rhode island causing several schools there to close to disinfect cafeterias and even though it's called the stomach flu it's not related to the influenza virus. but doctors say it's highly contagious. >> if you're near someone who's vomiting, the person vomiting creates a little aerosol and if you're close enough you can literally breathe it in and then

you'll get sick 24 to 48 hours later. >> reporter: experts say the virus can live on surfaces like bedding and countertops making it even tougher to fight. the best defenses are the most basic -- frequent hand washing with soap and water. disinfect contaminated surfaces with a bleach based cleaner and wash linens and towels. if you're feeling sick, stay home. even after the worst of your symptoms pass, you could still make others sick. while nor row virus is deadly, most recover after a few days. the increase in the cases is pretty typical for winter. on average about 19 to 21 million each year. there's not enough data to know if this season is especially bad. but if you or someone has caught it, you know this is absolutely miserable. guys, back to you. >> pretty brutal. tom, thank you. we have an update on the health of minnesota's governor, mark dayton. on tuesday we showed you that

video of him collapsing during monday's state of the state speech. the governor later announced he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and will undergo either radiation or surgery. now, doctors say the collapse was not related to the cancer. dayton says he plans to finish the final two years of his term. he turns 70 by the way tomorrow. back to the dramatic video at the top of the show and police in utah have released this dash cam video. it shows the moment a train smashed into the fedex truck, wiping out that tractor-trailer. the train just missing the truck's cab. fortunately, no serious injuries. the crossing arms though, they were not down at the time and the lights were not flashing. so they're thinking there are indications that snow and ice may have caused the system to fail. the accident is under investigation. maybe the arms were frozen. >> the latch didn't go off. >> if that tape runs longer, the arms come down after the accident.

snow out there, what's the weather look like? >> the snow is getting out of california and parts of the west. but it is moving into the dakotas. this is south dakota, and you can see a lot offender benders, a lot of people off the roads. the conditions there pretty, pretty awful. however, the good news for our friends out west, things are calming down in california. for the most part things fairly dry. we are looking at a few leftover snow showers around salt lake city and down in the mountains of the southwest, but you can see for today, not too bad. a little on the chilly side in las vegas. 48 and sunshine. some clouds in medford. but l.a. finally, sunshine, 60 degrees, cooler than average, but i think they'll take the sunshine. partly cloudy in san francisco. rest of the country, well, that storm that caused all the problems in the dakotas now making its way into the central great lakes bringing snow and wind. we're looking ahead of the front, some mild weather. but it will be wet from ohio all

and cervical cancer. >> yes. however, the majority but not all of cervical cancer is caused by the human papalona virus. >> there is guardasill, boys and girls are recommended to get the vaccine. is that the best protection. >> for the time being, yes. of course, screening. but the american college of s n gynecology and pediatrics to get it starting at the age of 11 and you have until 26. >> highly effective, do we knie nonexposure to hpv, the better it works. >> what are other ways to protect against cervical cancer? >> no glove, no love. condoms. decreasing the amount of cervical exposure that you have. that means decreasing the amount of partners you might have.

but protection, condoms, is the best way. >> what are the symptoms of cervical cancer? >> it has many, many symptoms, believe it or not. not the precancerous lesions. you can get bleeding, meaning bleeding after sex. irregular menstruation. sometimes a foul odor with the vagina can give you a clue as to whether or not you have cervical cancer. >> another important point is age. a lot of people think this is an illness or disease that usually comes earlier than your 50s. but it actually is not necessarily the case, right? >> yes. especially in a recent study. after the age of 65, you know the american college of gynecology doesn't recommend pap shameful. these women are getting cervical cancer and dying from the disease. i say even after the age of 65, especially if you've never been exposed to it and you have a change in your partner, i think you should be screened, nevertheless. >> doctor, good information.

it is more important what you folks think. >> if the guy didn't pay on the first date, i would be completely turned off. there would be something about it. >> if a guy walked in and said, hoda, this has been great, let's split this check? >> i would not -- >> no. >> no second date. >> that's what not to do. >> i do the reach for my purse, knowing that he is going to say, i'll pay. then i'm like, okay, thank you. >> but if he doesn't? >> i run out to the bathroom. i'll be right back. al roker is calling me. >> there is that awkward situation at the table. if it eliminates the awkwardness -- >> we should pay. how about this? we did a little of this. how many showers a day? >> two. >> one. >> two? why are you showering twice? >> get up in the morning and before you go to bed. >> you take a shower before you go to bed? >> absolutely. >> you want to get in bed after all the grime of the day? >> i took a shower in the morning. >> you've been out -- >> i workout before. >> are you in a bubble? >> hold on a second. i need purell just talking about

this. >> you know where we work. >> i just go to bed. it's fine. >> you take it to bed with you. >> i get it. she washes the sheets once every three, four weeks anyway. >> what's the point? >> a study claims showering every day could actually be bad for your body. >> thank you, everybody. >> that's because the soap can damage your microbiome. the micros that live on or in our bodies. if that is damaged, as al will tell you, it could need to an acne breakout or other skin damage. there is no consensus on the right amount of showers in a week. for me, 21. i take almost three a day. when i wake up, after the gym and often before i go to bed. >> explains the acne flair ups. >> pardon me. my micro biome is off.

earlier, we showed you the skier who didn't give up. perseverance paid off. here's a video that shows maybe sometimes it is best to just stay down. a college basketball player lost her shoe during the game. take a look what happens. >> wait, there's more. >> one more time. >> here we go. >> makes me sad. >> i don't know. but she's laughing at it. she's not sad about it, as she falls over and over instead of staying down, or running over to get the shoe. her name is lexie. she said, that was probably a situation where i should have stayed down instead of getting up. >> she's going to be big. >> perseverance. tamron, pop start. >> two of the biggest names in music are joining forces for one amazing tour. rob stewart is hitting the road and taking along a special

like-minded people, for instance. >> this is like the high school bus for grown-ups. >> i guess, kind of. >> reporter: it is not a perfect solution, the shuttle doesn't always stop at your destination. before we reach danielle's office, we're caught in the rain. but it's got many excited. >> we can actually crowd source a new route between, let's say, a cal train station and some other part of town. >> reporter: ford invested in this start up and wants to go worldwide to help make the last mile less stressful. in detroit, where it began making the model t more than 100 years ago. >> this is about changing how the world moves again. >> reporter: ford agreed to sew us another idea. it is a prototype. in the feature, you could travel the last mile to work on the electric scooter. unfolded from your trunk. >> am i really going to get out of my car, where i love, where has my music, climate controlled, and get on one of these though? >> you get out in the fresh air and you have your car for the things you need, like taking your kids to school.

>> can we get to something off the bat and then we'll talk about the nuts and bolts. there is accusation, the tape released by tmz, claiming a dog in the making of this movie was abused. i know our sister company, universal, says they're conducting an in-depth review of this. they don't say -- they say no dogs were harmed. give me your take on this. >> absolutely no dogs were harmed in this. this was -- there was a piece of video that was shot during the making of this by some unknown person at the time. he also spliced, edited and manipulated it to make it look like the dog was being abused. the dog had been in that water happily. even afterwards, too. the dog was fine. >> we sent a producer over to look at the footage. were there any moments where you think mistakes were made? >> not that i can see. what is not shown is divers underneath the water for the dog. every precaution was taken. platforms directly underneath the water that the dog is

standing on. not dangling in the water. and the dog was great. he wanted to do it again. >> universal video, they actually showed -- i know there is rehearsal video that shows the dog over and over again doing the move. it was just that they had moved the point of entry for the dog in the water. maybe that's where he got scared. >> the dog was straining at the leash to get in the water because he loves it so much. and to get at his toy. this person held on to this piece of video. if he is a dog lover, concerned about animal fights, he held on to it for 15 months until he got the best price from tmz. >> irony, the movie is about love between animals and humans. >> i had to do it. it is a fantastic story. my agent just started to tell me the story, and i welled up and said, you have to stop. just send me the script.

i think i'm going to do it. it is such a beautiful, beautiful story. and i say it is like "old yeller" without the tragic ending. >> although there is tearjerker moments. >> but it turns around and makes you laugh so much because it is like those moment s like you se on youtube with your dogs that they do that make you howl. it reminds you -- for me, it reminded me of my first pet, gertrude. the classic boy and dog experience. getting welled up again. >> oh, no. >> it is a beautiful story of how souls connect overtime. >> i love the idea of that. i know you're a big dog lover, as you've said. you wanted to be a veterinarian at one point. >> that was the first thing i wanted to be, actually. then i wanted to be an actor so i worked with other animals. >> you're a dog lover.

i'm a dog lover. let's talk about the degree we're lovers. dog sleep in the bed? >> yes. >> you turned your nose down. >> reluctantly. they've been in the mud and still in the bed. oh, well, there they are. >> dog licks you in the face, is that okay? >> yeah, that's definitely okay. >> you're a real dog lover. >> yeah. >> so am i. >> i guess i am, too. >> have your kids seen the movie yet? what do they think? >> they absolutely loved it. kids 9 to 90 will love this film. >> have to say, i'm sorry we live a country apart. i was reading about you last night. >> we're both cyclists and golfers. >> you need a play date. >> going to shrink this country a bit. get on your bike and ride to me here, and we'll go to rhode island. >> oklahoma city. anyway, it is my mom's 90th birthday. this sunday, i want to say, happy birthday mom. we'll give her a bash down in austin. it is going to be a lot of fun. >> good for you. >> fantastic.

senses, the smell of it, the taste of it, the temperature of the cup. they sound like really small things but we spend so little time aware of those things. and the more time we're aware of them, the more present we are. >> good coffee. >> reporter: and my favorite, how to be more mindful with my phone. by turning off notificationotif >> you know how often you need to check your phone. the problem is, every time we get a notification, it does something to us. it gives us a rush of dopamine, almost a reward. even though we don't like what is coming? >> oh, someone needs me. >> exactly. it trains the brain to want more detraction. >> and decluttering my screen. >> i found when i had all my social media and everything else on the home page, i was looking at it more often. then i found if i moved it to the next page, it is crazy, only a page away, but there was something about when i pulled

out my phone, i was way less likely to go and check things. >> that's genius. i've never thought about it. >> sleclean up your home screen >> as i'm talking to you, my phone is vibrating. >> my hope is at the end of the 30 day, you will have found three or four keys to mindfulness that you can take away with you and use in your everyday life. >> i've learned some really great tips from andy. two biggest priorities are making time every morning for a few minutes of silence. doesn't have to be a lot of time. also, limiting how much i use my phone, especially at home. the fitness tips have been great. the nutritional tips have been great. but this, this is not hyperbole, this has been transformative and life changing for me. >> the ten minute, sitting there. what do you do when thoughts are kicking around? explain that part. >> at first, it becomes -- it is very difficult to stop your mind from wandering. >> yeah. >> this morning when i did it, you find your mind wandering and

immediately, as andy says in the ten-minute exercise, pull your mind back. it's helped me focus, concentrate, be more present during conversations. i listen to music now. i'm actually listening to the lyrics and not just -- it's cool. >> i get to be a part of all your segments for the month. at this stage, i'd say he is winning. >> what are you talking about? >> he's made the most changes. he's a different person. >> by the way, you've lost a lot of weight. i don't want to know how much. this is not -- >> thank you. >> team craig. >> i may need the t-shirt. what color? >> blue. >> i may need a blue t-shirt. text craig's coach, andy, or join him later today for a facebook live. head to today.com to find out how. >> mm-hmm. if you're curious about meditation -- oh, by the way -- >> you should be more present, matt. >> be here now, matt. >> too busy on your phone to avoid family time? we'll have device free dinners.
