Looking at her like what were you doing. The latest from President Trump. David muir will have that in a moment. First President Trumps actions on immigration, first steps on the border wall is targeting sanctuary cities and drawing fire across the country and overseas. More to come today as he tees up new executive orders and right to Jonathan Karl at the white house. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning. President trump is traveling to philadelphia today to huddle with House Republicans at their annual retreat. Huge items on the legislative agenda like how to replace obamacare, the trillion dollar stimulus hes talked about and republicans want specifics but, george, i am told that President Trump is going there in part because he wants to talk about the issue of voter fraud, the unsubstantiated charges of massive voter fraud and would Like Congress to investigate that, as well and i am told by a Senior Administration official we could see a president ial directive as early as today ordering an investigation by the executive branch. So well have an executive branch and congressional investigation even though you already learned overnight at least three of his associates were registered in two states, one problem he identified. The executive orders on immigration. That illustrates the problem, by the way, they say. Were getting a lot of pushback. Some conservative groups appreciate what the president is doing on enforcement and aclu saying this is a Deportation Force on steroids and big city mayors across the country pushing back against the president on immigration. Reporter and theyre saying essentially they will defy the order, also governors, one quote from andrew cuomo, the governor of new york, he said as ive said before i say again today, if there is a move to deport immigrants, i say start with me. Of course, it should be noted Governor Cuomo was born if queens, new york. The mexican president saying hes not going to pay. For the wall and in discussions with the administration. He addressed the mexican people saying mexico does not believe in walls. Ive said it once. Ill say it again, mexico will not pay for any wall and mexican sources tell us hes considering canceling his visit that was planned next week to washington to meet with President Trump. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. President trump talked to our david muir, that First Network interview we all were watching last night, david. Good morning. Good morning, great to be with you. You heard jon say hell press this with Congressional Republicans that there were millions of illegal votes and why he lost the popular vote. We asked where is the proof. Well begin with this moment about torture and after something he told me during the campaign and something he might now disagree with, some of his top cabinet members hes counting on. Take a look. The last president , president obama said the u. S. Does not torture. Will you say that . Well, i have a general who i have Great Respect for, general mattis who said i was a little surprised, said hes not a believer in torture. As you know, mr. Pompeo was just approved, affirmed by the senate, hes a fantastic guy. Hell be the head of the cia and youll have somebody fabulous as opposed to the character that just got out who didnt was not fabulous at all, and he will, i think, do a great job. And he is, you know, i havent gone into great detail, but i will tell you i have spoken to others in intelligence and they are big believers in as an example waterboarding. You did tell me. They say it does work. It does work. Mr. President now, personally you told me during one of the debates you would bring back waterboarding and a hell of a lot worse. What i want to do is keep our country safe. I want to keep our country safe. What does that mean . When theyre chopping off the heads of our people and chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be a christian in the middle east, when isis is doing things that nobody has ever heard of since medieval times, would i feel strongly about waterboarding as far as im concerned, we have to fight fire with fire. Youre now the president. Do you want waterboarding . I dont want people to chop off the citizens or anybodys heads in the middle east because theyre christian or muslim or anything else. I dont want look, you are old enough to have seen a time that was much different. You never saw heads chopped off until a few years ago. Now they chop them off and put them on camera and send them all over the world. So, we have that and were not allowed to do anything. Were not playing on an even field. I will say this, i will rely on pompeo and mattis and my group and if they dont want to do, thats fine. If they do want to do, then i will work toward that end. I want to do everything within the bounds of what youre allowed to do legally. But do i feel it works . Absolutely i feel it works. So youd be okay with it as president . No, i will rely on general mattis and i am going to rely on those two people and others and if they dont want to do it, its 100 okay with me. Do i think it works, absolutely. And after telling congressional leaders he invited to the white house that he lost the popular vote because of millions of illegal votes, we asked, where is the proof . You have people that are registered who are dead, who are illegals, who are in two states. You have people registered in two states. Theyre registered in new york and in new jersey. They vote twice. There are millions of votes in my opinion now, im youre now president of the united states. When you say of course, i want the voting process to be legitimate. But what im asking, what im asking, when you say in your opinion millions of illegal votes, that is something that is extremely fundamental to our functioning democracy, a fair and free election. Sure, sure. You say youre going to launch an investigation. Sure, done. What you have presented so far has been debunked. Its been called false, i look at the pew reports. I called the author of it last night. He told me they found to evidence. Of voter fraud. Really. Why did he write the report . He said no evidence excuse me. Why did he write the report . According to the pew report then hes groveling again. I always talk about the reporters that grovel when they want to write something that you want to hear but not necessarily millions of people want to hear. Or have to hear. So youve launched an investigation. Well launch an investigation to find out. And we just heard that hell ask congress as well. You talked about obamacare with the president. Lots of big promises on the replacement, not a lot of clarity on how hell do it. We heard from so many viewers going into this interview and seen the estimate, 18 million americans could lose their Health Insurance if obamacare is repealed. We asked President Trump about that because he told the washington post, i want insurance for everyone. That sounds like universal coverage. He said what my plan is i want to take care of everybody and when we said does that mean no one loses their Health Insurance on obamacare right now or ends up with anything less, he said, well, i cant promise, you know, no one will. He said were talking about millions of people but he said my plan is i want to take care of everyone. We know the debate on capitol hill is access to health care or will you have the insurance you have right now. Thats the big one. Martha, well bring you in. His comments on waterboarding and he says he believes that it does work and is effective though he did say hes going to listen to his appointees. And he will listen to his appointees at this point but i think what donald trump did in that interview, david, is he said exactly what he had been saying in the campaigns, in that debate and yet he can now pass it off to his cabinet members and say, look, general mattis and i think we all remember what general mattis apparently said to President Trump, which was, look, i dont really think it works, i think maybe a cigarette and a beer will work better, so donald trump can say hes listening to general mattis. Hes listening to mike pompeo, but then still appeal to those voters who put him in there because of those tough words about you said something that struck me. When he referred to the safe zones in syria. Yeah, he said, david, that he also said that in the campaign, that he would have safe zones in syria. That is so complicated, so expensive. He can try to get other countries to do Something Like that to protect some people in syria but its very difficult, does it mean he will send in u. S. Troops . Is it that important that hell send u. S. Troops to protect people in syria . Were getting a lot of pushback, jon karl, on capitol hill also on this enhanced interrogation and torture. Reporter john mccain said explicitly the president can sign whatever orders he wants, but we are not bringing torture back, not in the united states. But i have to tell you that my discussions with Senior Administration officials here is that the president s going to do what he told david muir, what he told david, hes going to listen to secretary mattis on this, even as he believes torture works there is no effort to bring back those advanced interrogation techniques at least not yet. Such a wideranging interview, other topics. I was struck when you asked about those million marchers the day after the inauguration all around the world. It was interesting. We were walking along the colonnade. I said could you hear the marchers . They were right in front of the white house. He said i couldnt hear them but i did ask him, you are their president now. Do you sense a responsibility to reach out to them . He said theres going to be another march this weekend, a prolife march that will be even larger, perhaps and i said, you know, we dont want to compare crowd sizes. I wonder if you feel you need to unite the country. He said, i do, i do sense that responsibility but then he added but we just had an election. And were going to have much more from you coming up. I know youll have more on world news tonight but also in our next half hour. All right, david, thank you. Michael. Thank you, robin. Now to the stock market. Closing over 20,000 over the 20,000 mark for the First Time Ever and our chief business and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is at the New York Stock Exchange with more. Good morning, rebecca.

As far as americans go, its also a positive for those americans who do own stocks, act 52 of americans have some form of Retirement Savings and the average increase has been about 6,000 for those accounts. Now for the broader america, this really comes down to what company doss with those profits. And do they pass them along in the form of new wages and new jobs. All right to amy for the other top stories with the big fire close to seattle. Yeah, thats right. The video has been coming in overnight as flames engulfed. Take a look at this apartment complex in lynnwood, washington. The building under construction and it collapsed. At least 150 people in nearby buildings had to evacuate. Two firefighters have been injured. But are expected to be okay. And in Chicago Police say six people have been shot including a 12yearold girl during a Memorial Service for another shooting victim. President trump has warned he will send in the feds if chicago cant control the violence. The white house has said he was referring to federal aid. And emergency crews in iowa have been battling wind and snow while scrambling to clean up a leak from a broken gas pipeline. Nearly 140,000 gallons of diesel spilled. Officials say it appears the water supply has not been contaminated. Finally its being called smonday, the monday after the super bowl and one company says we should all get that day off. Yay. Its my birthday too. Heinz has released this video featuring people dressed up as ketchup and mustard to promote an online petition to make smonday a holiday and their setting the example using the money it could have spent on a Super Bowl Ad to instead give all of its salaried workers that day off.
