>> another day every executive orders, also making good on campaign promises for president donald trump. of course the announcement the white house is now going to investigate the president's signs of voter fraud. >> that's what we're talking about tonight at 66:30, check the run down, tweet us what's on your minds hashtag 5@6:30. the president signed an executive action on immigration, which allows construction of his proposed wall on the mexican border to move ahead. also, target cities with local leaders refuse to hand over illegal imigrants for deportation. >> also does the following, ends the policy of catch and release at the border. requires other countries
6:31 pm
take back their criminals. they will take them back. cracks down on sanctuary cities, empowers ice officers to target and remove those who pose a threat to public safety. >> and that there was donald trump making good on one every his campaign promises. national executive director of riegle american latin american citizens joins us via skype. >> glad to be on the show, thank you. >> let me ask you off the bat what does this mean immediately for undocumented workers live, people, who live in the united states? >> well, actually for them it doesn't mean a lot unless they've commit add serious crime. then of course, they've always been in serious trouble, because the ice authorities have been looking for them under president obama's enforcement priorities, but a lot of what the executive orders, basically already is policy, especia
6:32 pm
targeting people who have -- are a threat to the u.s. safety. >> there were a lot of people who obviously are opposed to there is but the reality, these are people that donald trump said during the course of the campaign, now it is coming to fruition, but how tough is it to move ahead and enforce this stuff by way of executive order? >> that's the trick, right? so certainly the law is something that is in the executive orders today. but the money is not part of that, or goods, more, you know, authorizing in court. what they have to do is actually get a congress to authorize the funds. could be as expensive as $40 million. many members of congress during republicans have said that's a lot of money specially when it has been shown that actually the wall is not very effective, and better other enforcement strategist to help enforce the boarder. >> is there an upside to any of this? >> , no i don't think so, honestly. un for the lip, mexico has been a great partner to the united states, trading partner, our neighbor, they've supported us on most o
6:33 pm
hard to to figure out why they de is her of this single out by the new administration, and i think it will cause a lot of division. instead of having america first, we will end up with america all by itself. if this is the way we treat our allies, goodness sakes, we'll have very few allies next. >> go back to the theme would pay for the wall tonight, he he'll -- released some clips of it, in which he said, once again, it will be up to us to authorize the initial funds, and he seems insist at any time that mexico in some way shape or form will reimburse this money here. but it doesn't seem like there is a precedent for that to happen f there is, we haven't seen it. >> yes, absolutely ludacrous, mexico will not pay for this lawn. the american public will have to pay for the wall. and it is not going to be very effective. you know, the net migration from mexico is actually way down. it is actually zero right now. so it is hard to understand why the focus on mexico now, maybe 20 years ago, when there
6:34 pm
mexico, could you see the attention to the wall, the idea of it, if it would have been effective. turned out to be the most effective thing the mexican economy was approved by none other than nafta, then migration from mexico down to zero. what we should be focusing on how can we help the central american companies, who how can we improve their economy, do that, the same thing will happen which happened in mexico, which is people will stay in their home countries, won't and problem to begin with. >> so much to work out moving forward. with the national executive director of the league of united latin american citizens, thank you so much for joining us. >> we've been talking about sanctuary cities, mayor bowser spoke earlier today. we'll hear from her, in fact, about to make a live appearance. just give us a yell whenever she is ready to go. but i want to point out, the mayors around the city, the mayor of boston, in fact, marty walsh mayor, said that he's vowing to, in fact, telling illegal imigrants they could stay
6:35 pm
gets to that. so there is a lot of mayors standing up and saying we're going to move forward in spite of the fact that there is a lot of money at steak here, if the government can follow through. here's mayor bowser. >> i wanted to talk to short remarks, and thank you for joining us. and take a few questions. so, let me just say, and i have since election day, said, that our city and our values did not change on the day of the election. and washington, d.c., we saul our diversity, annex clues sieve at this, being a sanctuary city means that we are not an agent of the federal government. it means that our police can focus on serving dc residents, serving them no matter their immigration status. it also means that if you call 911, if you call 311, you witness a crime, if you can help the police, you're going to get help from your government. so as
6:36 pm
priority to ensure the safety of washington, d.c., and ensuring that all people know that it is safe for them to call on their government, and make our city safer. we must rememberhat our city not allowing millions of americans share these values shall and millions of americans. regardless of who we supported, in november, want to see our country do better and do better for all. and so with that, i'm happy to answer any of your questions. >> i'm not sure if you've had a chance to see it yet. i have reviewed it. and certainly our lawyers are looking over the he can he can touch order to see exactly what it means. we think that there is a lot left to be
6:37 pm
i can see in the executive order thus far. >> anything suggest could not work with a american city worrisome. obviously there are a loft things that we do in sits and in partnerships, with our government, and we would object and we do object anything that the federal government wants to do to a local jurisdiction. that would make it less safe. and we believe that having a dc residents afraid to call the police or afraid to call on the government, makes our city less safe. >> i'm not going to make attempt what it means, until we've had ample
6:38 pm
>> no more depended on the federal government than any state when it comes to federal contributions. (question from the audience). >> we're going have to review what it means, and how the federal government and the congress intend to implement and enforce it, until we know that specifically, we won't know what it means. we have a lot of concerns about some of the policies that we've heard, specifically, we know that there may be a repeal of the affordable care act, for example. so we have to understand what any national changes mean to dc resident, and how we would make those changes locally. >> you h
6:39 pm
bowser responding to president trump executive action about sanctuary cities today. you heard her there say we will still act on our own, and we will still provide sanctuaries to those undocumented immigrant seeking sanctuary here in the district. >> we will be hearing quite about this throughout the night, and moving on through the future. >> absolutely. well, donald trump hit twit they are morning to address his allegations of widespread voter fraud, he believes three to 5 million illegal votes. he tweeted he will be asking for major investigation into voter fraud including those registered to vote in those illegal, even those registered to vote who are dead and many for a long time. depending on the result, we'll see about the voting procedures. >> president of both america, now, chris what's your take away, say three to 5 million illegal votes cast. haven't so much much of the evidence. but he's continuing this
6:40 pm
your take away. >> there has been no evidence, republicans, say the same thing today. look, at the end of the day, i think he knows that our voter system has vulnerability, what it comes down to, not so much press conference about 2,016 election, previous elections, so a lot of it has to do with that, as women, you look at, you know, under covers agent in new york, discovered that they were able to actually vote on or were previously not in the district, look at 15 workers in pennsylvania were charged with fraud after tampering with elections, and of course college student over there with different voter applications in the names of dead people. these are the type of things they want to fix, they want to be able to revitalize, make sure our system is improved, 2012, few studies said over 1.8 million dead people are registered to vote. that i think is really where his message is going, that's what he want to do, that's what he wants to
6:41 pm
overall system, and of course, no one has been table proof that actually in the election, you know, a problem per say, but that's what's most important, the agenda is now. >> the president said he was concerned that there were number of these millions of votes that actually cost him the popular vote. here inside the belt way we hear certain things, what about the rest of the county from what do you think the message is that they'll get, or all of those people who are trump supporters that they listen to this news trickle snout. >> again, look what they said earlier. look, at the end of the day, this is a very devisive -- on both sides, people will think what they want to think. trump supporters obviously he won the election, won the electoral college. i don't think a lot of people frankly understanded how electoral college really works of the if you look at the electoral college it makes up an avege
6:42 pm
ensures other states that have smaller have -- will equal stay. i think there is a bit of confusion there, as the popular vote, you know, as to why he won, which is why may call him, you know, sort of names, not -- that's really what he want to do. he obviously knows he won fair and square. trump supporters are adamant about that. >> hey chris, as we let you go, you know, sort of reminder, maybe we need the civic lesson, maybe what we didn't live in 2,000 goes on. the president says he has a plan for when it is repealed. coming right back. >> ♪ ♪ >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

6:44 pm
>> welcome back this wednesday night. gop leaders are talking about replacing the affordable care
6:45 pm
act. >> president trump said he has a plan, everyone getting insurance under him. executive he had door is here now, to give us little insight. i'm curious, do you know anything about this plan that the president has? >> i think it remains just as much after mystery to us as the rest of america. we definitely have, you know, we have millions of people that come to our site, many who have pre-existing conditions, definitely front and center issue for them. everone is watching very closely, one development that happened today, especially interesting, is that a lot of health insurance companies started making wish lists what they hope will be future plans. yes, trying to get their dibs in, also real interesting to see, they seem to be operating under the idea that some sort of government subsidy will continue for the next year or two. so, yes, it will be real -- >> this has been a case of there are some people who say i wouldn't be here if not for the affordable care act. some people say it's been catostrophic for me, premiums
6:46 pm
you know, is it possible in this political climate to find happy heed yum, especially bring healthcare providers to the table, how do we make this right? >> it will be real tricky to be honest. you know, healthcare, health insurance, seems to function best when you can spread the cost among the young and healthy, everybody inbetween, elderly, and, frankly, from our readers, we can't seem to see, it is such a benefit to have obamacare, the affordable care act, it covered so many gaps, ya, ya, you know, anybody who is cancer survive over, anyone who has high blood fresh your, diabetes, so many at risk? but also people who say i don't need that. why should i have to pay for it. >> preventive care, it has been shown over and over, that if you want to live a young and healthy life, you want to optimize your career, your family, all of that time. for taxpayers, for the country, for all of
6:47 pm
individuals to get that coverage to be moving on. >> as they talk about there is the repeal of obamacare, what do you think there could be an impact on medicare and medicaid? >> definitely a big concern for a lot of people. you know, because of the affordable care act, all of the preventive care that we've been talking about before, mammograms, flu shots, a lot of things keeping people, grandparent, loved ones healthy, through their older years, a lot of those things could be up in the air. if affordable care act, or some proper is coming into place. >> i want to ask you quickly how fast could we start seeing the effect of any repeal? could it happen within the next year or would it take little longer? >> it will be real interesting to see how congress react. we're watching every day, putting all of our updates. everybody will join our conversation. we're going to be keeping close eyes on this. >> certainly this conversation is going to continue until we get some sort of resolution. let us know with any update. keep us
6:48 pm
>> definitely. >> all right. we also want to hear from you guys. we want to know how is the president faring during these first few days in office? >> tweets and different opinions here. very eye-opening stuff. share your thought, use the harm tag 5@6:30. back after this. >> ♪ ♪

>> more that half the voters approve of the job president trump has been so far. 57% approve of president trump's job performance, 47% disapprove, and 42% sprongly approve of the way president trump is performing, 32% disapprove. >> number of have you been sending us tweets tonight. we appreciate it, keep the tweets coming through, hashtag 5@6:30, we check in with tom fitzgerald, getting the pulse of the people tonight and see what they think about this. fitz? >> reporter: my mother only used to call me tho
6:51 pm
you scared me for a minute there. >> sorry, thomas. >> that's okay. you know, the bottom line on all of this, the pulse was re sparked again today when they sent out this e-mail with the title, i'll read it to you, the title of this e-mail, praise for the president bold actions. this is what this really was, it was a compilation of a flattering headlines for the trump administration. one of them was about politicals looking at reaction to the inaugural address. you heard in the media, a lot of criticism about that inaugural address last friday, saying it was too dark. turns out political does their pole, turns out 49% of the people they asked said it was a great speech. likewise, in that rasmussen pole you showed, 57% saying that the president is now getting a good job rating in there. so clearly there is a disconnect from what you are hearing in the media than from
6:52 pm
what people are responding and saying to these pollsters. so we went out on the national mall today, talked to people, who are not necessarily from the dc area to ask them what they thought about president trump's job so far on day four now of his administration, you might not be surprise today learn trump supporters think he is doing pretty good job, even the people opposed to him told us he's at least doing what he said he was going to do. >> trying to get american jobs back, which is pretty good. >> what is it about what he's done these first few days that you're responding to? >> just his common sense approach. , you know, some of the things that happened in the last eight years, are mind-boggling to me. >> however, things could turn around. you know, i don't -- i do believe that he's doing what he thinks is the in the best interest of the country. >> i think he is getting after it, it didn't look
6:53 pm
they're stalling around any at all. so i'm pleased with that. >> i'm not sure really. i want to see, you know, after maybe 100 days, and see what's going on, how it is going. >> up to four days? >> after four days, no. >> okay, so, here is the part where we're going to make the new president a little mad at us. yes, he is at 57% in this rasmussen pole. but when you look at history of modern presidents, barack obama was at 67% at this point. george w. bush was also at 57. but, you know, one of the probably most famous presidents in recent memory, ronald reagan. back in 1981, the gallop organization, said he was at 51%. >> wow. >> when he started. so donald trump, if you compare these ahead of where ronald reagan was at this point. and ronald reagan was probably somebody who republicans lunged at as, you know, one of the people that they
6:54 pm
on their own -- >> i think they get more favorable when once they leave offers, that's when we start to see things shoot up. thanks, fitz. >> thanks, thomas. >> nobody likes you after you leave. >> okay. all right, let's go over some of these tweets that some of you guys have been sending us. patrick said i think he is doing excellent job. why i voted to him. leave the election over. let's move on. contrast that with i had low expectations, he failed to come close to those. keep the tweets coming tonight. we'll be right back after this.
