Transcripts For CNNW The Lead With Jake Tapper 20170125 21:0

For diabetes research. The amazing thing, she was on my show in 1999. And we talked about it then. And look how long she fought it before she finally was conquered by it . But i remember at that time how valiant she seemed. Here is another thing about Mary Tyler Moore. Mary tyler moore lived closer to death and to illness than the rest of us do in the course of her lifetime. It was always there. Of course, she lost a son to a gunshot wound. It was always there, always present. And she knew always that eventually her condition would deteriorate, as it does with people who have diabetes. And yet she was able to continue to work. Look what she did in ordinary people. Perhaps the most remarkable thing she ever did was ordinary people where she completely producer of grays anatomy, people, young girls were watching grays anatomy, its been on television ten years. I know there is a whole generation of Women Reporters who were truly inspired by Mary Tyler Moore in that show. Did she realize her impact, both on women journalists, but also just on women and everyone really . I think she knew it. Look, Valery Harper spun off from her, Cloris Leachman spun off from her. Lou grant, the character, played by ed asner, asner spun off from her. She and her husband grant tinker at that time, they created one incredible show after another, all of them inspired by and launched by her show about the Mary Tyler Moore show. Thats an extraordinary achievement. She not only changed her life. She changed a lot of lives. She was there it is, she was a life changer. And she did so in the face of very, very daunting odds. I dont know of anyone who would have, i think, faced the number of difficulties she faced and the risks that she took as gallantly and as joyfully and as sweetly and here is another word, charmingly as she did. She gave us a great, great gift. None of us will ever forget her, but we will also be influenced by her forever because she changed so many lives and so Many American myths and customs during her lifetime and her work. She simply, she simply made us look at the world differently and once we did we never went back. I know you knew her off camera as well as on camera. Do you have a favorite clip or personal memory of her you want to share before we bid adieu to you . Im not here, im not at home. I dont remember what she said when i asked her what would you like to say when you arrive at the pearly gates. I suspect it would be very meaningful if you have it. If you do, for heavens sake. We dont have that clip, im sorry about that. James lip ton, thank you so much. Always charming to talk to you and we really appreciate it. Coming up next, if you build it, they wont come. Thats what President Trump hopes happens with his border walls. He takes the very first steps to turn his Signature Campaign promise into a reality. But first as we go to break, lets remember actress Mary Tyler Moore and the groundbreaking show that bore her name. But wait. Yes. Oh, hi, rhoda. Listen, can i call you back . Rhoda, i did wake you up this morning. Listen, ill call you back. The lowest prices on our hotels are always at hilton. Com. So pay less and get more only at hilton. Com. The president is also closing in on a Supreme Court pick, a move expected to energize conservatives even as it sets up a confirmation battle on capitol hill. In addition to those policy actions, the new promise from President Trump today, hes demanding an investigation into his own totally unsubstantiated belief that there was massive voter fraud. Up to 5 million illegal votes in the 2016 president ial election. Again, thats despite the fact that there is not one lick of evidence to back up such a claim. But lets start right now with President Trumps action on keeping Undocumented Immigrants out of the country. Cnns diplomatic Senior Correspondent Michelle Kosinski is at the State Department for us. Michelle, language of Executive Orders and Executive Actions can often be confusing and vague. Bottom line, how soon are we actually going to see changes at the border and when it comes to Undocumented Immigrants . President trump put it into very simple terms today, saying that starting immediately we can expect to see dramatically steppedup enforcement of immigration laws. That means deportations, that means building a wall with the border of mexico starting in a couple of months. And yes, one way or another, he says mexico will pay for it. President trump takes the first step on one of his First Campaign promises to build the wall. Beginning today, the United States of america gets back control of its borders, gets back its borders. Reporter now with Executive Action, he directs the department of Home Land Security to Start Building it immediately. Along the 1900 milelong border with mexico, using existing federal money to get it started. The secretary of Home Land Security working with myself and my staff will begin immediate construction of a border wall. Reporter President Trump tells abc news hes also standing by his campaign pledge to make mexico pay for it. Will american taxpayers pay for the wall . Ultimately it will come out of what iss happening with mexico. Were going to be starting those negotiations relatively soon and we will be in a form reimbursed by mexico which so, theyll pay us back . Absolutely 100 . When does construction begin . As soon as we can, as soon as we can physically do it. Couple months . I would say in months, yeah, i would say in months. Certainly planning starting immediately. Reporter its not clear where the existing money would come from to pay for the wall and congress would still need to approve any new funding to build it. Trump himself has estimated kosta round 10 billion. But todays move also means beefing up manpower on the border. 5,000 additional customs and Border Protection officers. And in a second Executive Action signed today, the president is increasing deportations of Undocumented Immigrants, Tripling Resources For Enforcement and withholding funding from socalled sanctuary cities. When local municipalities refused to turnover Undocumented Immigrants to federal authorities. We are going to get the bad ones out. The criminals and the drug deals and gangs and gang members and cartel leaders. The day is over where they can stay in our country and wreak havoc. Reporter it all happens on the same day a highlevel mexican delegation is here in washington meeting with trumps top advisors. Its the First Official meeting with the Foreign Government after the white house unveiled its America First policy. And one day after the Mexican Foreign minister railed against a border wall and mexicos potential price tag. Translator we recognize that the United States has the right to build a wall, even though we dont like it. But it is another thing to try to get a neighboring country to pay for the construction. We have said many times that that is unacceptable. Reporter it is interesting to see within the Executive Order, this new administrations new enforcement priorities. So, under the obama administration, if youre here illegally and youve been convicted of a felony, that was really the focus, people who are gang members, committed serious crimes, a string of lesser crimes but not traffic offenses, these new priorities for deportation include people not just convicted of crimes, but charged with crimes, or committed acts that could constitute a chargeable offense, or have been determined by an Immigration Officer to be otherwise a threat to public safety. So, you dont have to be convicted of something under these new rules to be a priority for deportation. Jake . All right, Michelle Kosinski at the State Department for us. Thank you so much. The white house has not provided any evidence backing up the president s uncorroborated claim that 3 to 5 million illegal votes were cast in the 2016 election. That is, of course, because no such tangible evidence of widespread voter fraud exists according to republican and democratic Election Officials all across the country. It did not happen. But it is a belief of the president s, we are told so this morning he called for an investigation into the matter. This afternoon White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about the fact that in rehe count efforts in Battle Ground states, the president s own lawyers insisted that there were no credible accounts of voter fraud. Spicers response was to suggest that the investigation might look into other places, quote, larger states. He named two of them. California and new york. States that it might be observed voted overwhelmingly against mr. Trump. One of the items the president wants investigated according to his tweets this morning, people who are registered to vote in more than one state. He might want to start that investigation by talking to his top political aide and one of his key cabinet picks who are among the many, many voters who in one day was registered in more than one state. Cnns pamela joins us. If an agency starts such an investigation, how would they do it . Well, at this point we have to figure out who is going to lead the charge because you have President Trump calling on a widespread voter fraud registration, but its still unclear who would be in charge of that investigation, jake. That remains a mystery. In fact, officials ive spoken with in the Department Of Justice which typically investigates those allegations says an investigation like this would be completely unprecedented. Remember i told you its a rigged system. Thats terrible. And not rigged for us, believe me. Reporter today President Trump announcing without any proof he wants a, quote, Major Investigation into voter fraud. Tweeting the focus will be on those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and those registered to vote who are dead. I, donald john trump. Reporter the call comes on the heels of his repeated and unfounded claim that 3 to 5 Million People voted illegally in the election costing him the popular vote. Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes. Today the white house said the probe will go beyond the 2016 election. We have to understand where the problem exists, how deep it goes, and then suggest some remedies to it. Reporter but who would be in charge of the investigation remains a mystery. Department of justice officials who would typically handle Voter Fraud Allegation Investigations say theres no predication, such as a specific credible allegation of voter fraud to even launch an investigation. There is no evidence that people voted unlawfully in the november election, and certainly not by the millions. Reporter trumps own legal team has argued that no voter fraud occurred in the General Election. White House Counsel don mcbegan wrote in a legal brief, in december all Available Evidence suggests that the 2016 General Election was not tainted by fraud and responds to an effort to block the recount in michigan by jill stein. The white house saying that was true only of the states where results were close. Theres a lot of states that we didnt compete in where thats not necessarily the case. Look at california and new york, im not sure those statements were we didnt look at those two states in particular. Reporter republicans, including donald trump, point to a Pugh Research study in 2012. One in every eight Voter Registrations are no longer valid. More than 1. 8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters and 2. 75 million are registered in more than one state. But the study does not say there is widespread fraud. There are people that are voting in that are on the rolls in two different states, sometimes in three different states. Reporter in fact, two members of the president s own team, treasury secretary nominee Steve Mnuchin and steve bannon were registered in multiple states on election date. Ohio secretary of state told cnn today voter fraud in his state is rare. What we found in the past, we do an investigation of voter fraud, voter suppression. We found less than a thousand cases of voter irregularity, less than a couple hundred cases of voter fraud. Reporter and the white house says it will release more information about how this investigation will play out later this week and it is worth noting here, jake, President Trump could also appoint a Special Investigator or he could ask congress to use its investigatory powers to look into this. Jake . Again, no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Pam will brown, thank you so much. She just got back from a secret trip to syria. Did she meet with the president . Congresswoman talks exclusively with cnn about that trip next. For over 100 years like kraft has, you learn a lot about what people want. Honey, do we have like a super creamy cheese with taco spice already in it . Oh, thanks. Bon appecheese okay. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Were doing the wave htaking off with me y for 42 minutes hes been trying to bring an entire stadium to its feet. You missed it, buddy. Its all good. And much like this hero, courtyard is all about the game. One, two, three. Waaaaave bell chimes nice work brother dominic. Now we just need 500 more. Translated into 35 languages, personalized oh and shared across the 7 continents. other languages spoken look abbot, i got it. Its a miracle. 7yearold has become the face of innocent civilians suffering in syrias deadly civil war. The girl is safely in turkey with her family. Earlier today she tweeted a message to President Trump. Quote, i beg you, can you do something for the children of syria . If you can, i will be your best he friend. Thank you. Unquote. This comes as a fragile cease fire between syrian and Government Forces and Rebel Factions is holding for now. In an exclusive Tulsi Gabbert of hawaii turned from a secret trip to syria. Congresswoman gab erred, thank you for coming and sharing your story with us. Thank you, jake, good to be with you. You were in syria four days. Did you meet with president ba sharal sad . I did. My reason for going to visit syria was really because of the suffering of the Syrian People that has been weighing heavily on my heart. I wanted to see if there was in some small way a way that i could express the love and the aloha and the care that the American People have for the people of syria and to see firsthand what was happening there, to see that situation there. What did assad have to say . Initially i hadnt planned on meeting him. When the opportunity arose to meet with him, i did so because i felt its important that if we profess to truly care about the Syrian People, about their suffering, we have to be able to meet with anyone that we need to if there is a possibility that we could achieve peace, and thats exactly what we talked about. Now, i know the maximum i am that people say in the military, that you dont make peace with your friend, you make peace with your enemies. But obviously ba shar al assad is responsible for thousands of deaths and millions of people being displaced during this fiveyear long civil war. Did you have any come punks about meeting with somebody like that giving him any sort of enhanced credibility because a member of the United States congress would meet with someone like that . Whatever you think about Mary Tyler Moore<\/a>. Mary tyler moore lived closer to death and to illness than the rest of us do in the course of her lifetime. It was always there.

Whatever you think about President Assad<\/a>, the fact is that he is the president of syria. In order for any peace agreement, in order for any possibility of a viable Piece Agreement<\/a> to occur, there has to be a conversation with him. The Syrian People<\/a> will determine his outcome and what happens with their government and their future. But our focus, my focus, my commitment is on ending this war that has caused so much suffering to these Syrian People<\/a>, to these children, these families, many of whom i met on this trip. Its important for us to stay focused on doing what is in their best interest, and what is in our best interest. And doing what is necessary to make that happen. So, congressman, a military\rveteran, republican said on twitter when he heard about your visit, quote, fact finding mission, 50,000 dead, children in syria, i hope you didnt meet with their butcher assad. He has used Chemical Weapons<\/a> on his own people. You said it is going to be up to the Syrian People<\/a>. There really arent free and fair elections. What i heard walking down the streets in Aleppo Hearing<\/a> from them, they expressed happiness and joy at seeing an american walking through their streets. But they expressed a question. They said, why is it that the United States<\/a>, its allies and other countries are providing support, are providing arms to Terrorist Groups<\/a> like alqaeda, isis, who are on the ground there, raining, kid napping, torturing and killing the Syrian People<\/a> . Children, men, women, people of all ages . They asked me, why is the United States<\/a> and its allies supporting\rthese Terrorist Groups<\/a> who are destroying syria when it was alqaeda who attacked the United States<\/a> on 9 11, not syria . I didnt have an answer for them. Obviously the United States<\/a> government denies providing any sort of help to the Terrorist Groups<\/a> youre talking about. They say they provide help for the rebel groups. The reality is, jake, the reality and im glad you brought up that point because this is an often taulkd about thing by people like Adam Kenzinger<\/a> saying we have to support the moderate rebels. Every place that i went, every person that i spoke to, i asked this question to them, and without hesitation they said there are no moderate rebels. Who are these moderate rebels that people keep speaking of . Regardless of the name of these groups, the strongest fighting force on the ground in syria is alqaeda and isis. That is a fact. Theres a number of different other groups, all of them essentially are fighting alongside with or under the\rcommand of the Strongest Group<\/a> on the ground thats trying to overthrow assad. The Syrian People<\/a> recognize and they know that if President Assad<\/a> is overthrown, then alqaeda or a group like alqaeda that has been killing christians, killing people simply because of their religion, or because they wont support their terror activities, they will take charge of all of syria. This is the reality that the people of syria are facing on the ground and why they are pleading with us here in the United States<\/a> to stop supporting these Terrorist Groups<\/a>. Let the Syrian People<\/a> themselves determine their future, not the United States<\/a>, not some foreign country. And weve been showing video of your from your trip. In the minute we have left, tell us the most striking image you have from your visit to this wartorn region. Yeah, jake, you know, the destruction is very real, both on the physical buildings and the things that people have gone through, looking into their eyes\rand hearing firsthand from a girl who is now 19, but who when she was 14 years old, these rebels that people say we should continue supporting, they came and kidnapped her. They raped her multiple times. They killed her father in cold blood right in front of her and her little brother. All she is asking for, literally, is for the United States<\/a> to stop supporting these socalled rebel groups, stop supporting these terrorists so that the Syrian People<\/a> can begin to try to get back to some semblance of normalcy in their lives. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbert<\/a>, democrat of hawaii, we appreciate your coming and telling us this story. Thanks, jake.

Liberty stands with you\u2122. Liberty mutual insurance. Absolutely i feel it works. Now, the president added that he will rely upon the counsel of cia director mike pompeo and Secretary Of Defense<\/a> general james mattis. Mattis has said torture does not work. Joining us is nor paul rand of kentucky. What is your reaction to what the president had to say about torture . You know, i was comforted about a month ago when i heard that he had a conversation with general mattis who unequivocally said that torture doesnt work. But weve also studied this. The cia detained 119 people. 39 of them were tortured and the conclusion of the Senate Committees<\/a> report was that it didnt work, but there was also something very alarming. Of the 119 people that the cia detained around the world, 26 of them were mistakenly identified. Sometimes with people who had similar names, but they detained the wrong people. I think most americans would be alarmed if 22 of the people we picked up and tortured were the wrong people. So, yeah, i think there is a real problem. One, whether it works or not, but two, if we get the wrong people, theres no due process. Theres no sort of time to say, well, lets have a trial to find out who we have here so, yeah, im alarmed by anybody that wants to go back to torture. The people in the senate who have been tortured mainly john mccain, Dont Think Torture<\/a> is a good idea. Also, its currently against the law and i hope it will remain against the law. And correct me if im wrong, you voted against cia director pompeo because he left the door open to using what is called enhanced interrogation techniques. That as well as i think the cia needs more oversight. Our Intelligence Community<\/a> has very little oversight. Theres only eight members of congress that truly know whats going on in the cia, that truly know whats going on as far as covert war around the world. And i really think that war really, unless there is extraordinary exception, should be fought with the approval of the congress and the approval of the American People<\/a>. Thats what our founding fathers\rthought. They took that power away from the president and they gave it to congress. They specifically precluded the president from going to war without the approval of congress. President trump is expected to announce some new restrictions on refugees and immigrants with visas from countries that include iraq, iran, syria, yemen, sudan, somalia and libya. You offered similar lelgt asian rejected by the senate in 2015. The efforts is to keep out islamic extremists. How do you respond to those that say this legislation will also keep out victims of islamic extremists . Christians, muslims who have been terrorized by Terrorist Groups<\/a> including children. What is your response to that criticism . I think our National Defense<\/a> does begin with protecting the border. Not only against the sort of my grants walking across the border that might be dangerous, but also those coming as refugees. And one of the things about the Statue Of Liberty<\/a> and the motto, bring us your poor and your huddled masses, when my grandparents and great\rgrandparents came to this country, you had to have a sponsor and you had to work. Many people we bring in now we immediately put in Government Housing<\/a> and really work is not the first order of business. So, i think if we are able to vet people and know that they are safe to come into the country, they ought to work and they ought to become part of america and have an american sponsor who takes care of them if they cant find a job. We have a lot of poor, lot of homeless, eye lot of people we need to take care of who are already in our country. We borrow a Million Dollars<\/a> a minute. So, we just cant take of everybody. And i think primarily here there is a National Security<\/a> risk that needs to be addressed. You released your obama care replacement plan today. What would it do with those who now have Health Insurance<\/a> because of the Medicaid Expansion<\/a> through obamacare . Well, most of the people that have gotten any kind of health care under obamacare have been through medicaid. What they did was some dishonest accounting. They said of the federal government will pay for it, the states dont have to. But in the past really the states have been a primary\rfunder of it and since states dont have a printing press, they have to make decisions based on how much money they have. But obama came in as santa claus and said, its free, its man a from heaven, here, you can have all this if i had ral government money, but there is momon i up here. So, i think we have to be humanitarian. We have to have a heart, we have to try to help our fellow man, but just borrowing more money from china to do it doesnt work. We do have to live within our means at the same time. So, i think that any kind of Medicaid Expansion<\/a> the state should say, you know what, if were going to do this, were going to have to raise taxes on everybody who lives in the state and not act as if its going to be free and were just going to get it from washington. There is no money in washington. All right, senator rand paul, always a pleasure to have you on, sir. Thanks, jake. Snow and wind and freezing temperatures and not even the president of the United States<\/a> able to stop protesters from fighting to halt the Dakota Access<\/a> pipeline that President Trump<\/a> just said he wants to happen.

The Automated Investing Solution<\/a> that lets you focus on your life. Welcome back. Now, the National Lead<\/a> a new push back against trumps Executive Order<\/a> to advance major Pipeline Projects<\/a> he says will create more american jobs, one of his orders included a call to expedite Land Permit Reviews<\/a> for the did coat a access pipeline which of course has protesters braving bitter cold and snow right now. Many are from the Standing Rock<\/a> sioux tribe who say this pipeline is a Disaster Waiting<\/a> to happen to their water and to their sacred land. Cnns sara signer is live at cannonball, north dakota. Sara, you just spoke with some of the tribal leaders. They say donald trump violated the law with his Executive Order<\/a>. How so . Yeah, its interesting because they say what they think he is trying to do is violate the law. But, indeed, in his very memoranda he says as long as federal laws are followed. You have a split. There is a very harsh reaction from the tribe about this memoranda and partly because they believe that what its really trying to say is that hes going to go ahead and try\rto push this plan through that they have been fighting. I want to give you some idea of what the camp looks like now because youll remember i was here talking to you just a month ago and it looked very different. There were thousands, Tens Of Thousands<\/a> of people that were here. Now its about. 500 and its been a very subdued reaction from the folks who have been inside of this camp, jake. They have not come out in big numbers to protest this. They have not gone and had clashes with police or on the other side, the National Guard<\/a> right now. What they are doing is trying to figure out what to do next, and whether or not President Trump<\/a> or anyone in his administration wants to hear their voices or will react to their voices. And we asked dave who is the chairman of the Standing Rock<\/a> sioux tribe himself if he thinks that the president will take into account anything the protesters have been asking for or demanding. He values money. He doesnt val you people. So, hes not going to hear\ranybody when theyre talking. But if you hear chaching, hes going to turn his head. It might mess his hair up, but hes going to turn his head. Its money that drives this man and thats the scary thing for this nation. And theyre talking about it being scary and that is the theme of the day, that people are frightened about whats going to happen next and theyre not sure of their next move. But they do know one thing, jake, they are going to fight. Jake . All right, sara sideener, buckle up. Were going to come to you a lot of times over the next few weeks and months. Thanks so much. She rose to fame on the Dick Van Dyke<\/a> show and broke barriers on her own Television Show<\/a> playing a unmarried career woman. Her life and career next. Introducing the new Turbocharged Volkswagen Alltrack<\/a> with 4motion allwheel drive. Soon to be. Everywhere. Died at 80 years old. Here to talk about her life and legacy is one of the most popular tv stars of all time, henry winkler. Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you for inviting me. So, before there was the fonz, people might not know this, your Big Break In Hollywood<\/a> was appearing on the Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> show. Tell us about it. I landed on september 18th, 1973 in los angeles. Five days later, i got a fourline part on the Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> show which was at the time one of the most popular shows on all of television. And what was it like working with Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> . If you were so green and she was such an icon . Well, first of all, because she was an icon, she was very warm. And what the team that was there was very supportive. You know, she was a power house. She and her husband at the time\rgrant tinker, just dominated the Television Landscape<\/a> with Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> production. In the 70s you were an icon as she was an icon. I dont know how much you got to know her at all, but what do you think her impact was on the tv landscape at the time . Well, one thing for sure is that she had the most incredible comic timing. Before the Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> show there was the Dick Van Dyke<\/a> show on which she was a major force. And she opened the door, along with lucille ball for unbelievable comic women to come in and know that, yes, they could lead on a tv show. What do you think youre going to miss most about her as someone who knew her and also as a fan . You know, i would have to say\rthat the missing her being, of course, no longer being here on earth. But we do have the wonderfulness of all of her episodes on television and you can enjoy her wonderful sense of humor forever. Are there any episodes or any performances of hers that resonated with you . I was just thinking the other day about the episode, and this might be because im a journalist, the episode where she goes to jail to protect a source on the Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> show. You know, the idea of i just like the whole entire body of work. I dont have one episode, but every time i see these or Dick Van Dyke<\/a> or the Mary Tyler Moore<\/a> show, it is just magical. You start watching and then you\rdont stop until the end. You walk into a room, its on tv, you sit down and youre there until the end. Were showing a picture right now of her and Dick Van Dyke<\/a>. I remember watching my first few episodes of the Dick Van Dyke<\/a> show when i was a kid. Boy, she really was the hero of that show, laura petry. You know, the thing is that you cant have one without the other, you know. You have to have the ying and the yang. Her completing the circle was Dick Van Dyke<\/a> made that show magical. And, of course, everybody added in the mix. And she went on to the further iconic role, nominated for an Academy Award<\/a> in ordinary people. Henry winkler, thank you so much. A pleasure to talk to you. Thank you so much. Im sorry its under this circumstance.
