00:00Welcome back.
00:03We are going back to the U.S. to Washington, D.C. live with our special envoy, Carlos Montero,
00:08who has the latest information a day after the swearing in of President Donald Trump
00:13as the 47th president of the nation.
00:23Right now, the main news in this country about the politics, not politics, is the weather.
00:29Half of the country, more, 47 states, they are under a cold weather alert.
00:36Very cold here, minus 10 degrees in the capital in Washington.
00:41The wind sensation is like 20, make it feel like minus 20.
00:47But let's talk about politics.
00:49Marco Rubio is right now the new secretary of state.
00:53He has just, a few minutes ago, he has sworn, he said, I'm here to defend the foreign policy
00:59of the USA.
01:00He is the first Trump member cabinet who has been approved by the Congress.
01:07It was an easy process, 99 votes he got.
01:12That's unanimous.
01:13So right now, Marco Rubio is the first cabinet member that Donald Trump has.
01:21Let's talk a little bit about Donald Trump.
01:23He was here in the capital until very late.
01:26He went to different balls, dancing places to celebrate his first day in office.
01:35What he's going to do today?
01:37Today he's going to have a meeting with the majority leader of the upper and lower house,
01:44the two houses, the whole Congress is in hands of the Republican.
01:48Today, everybody's talking about the executive order he signed yesterday.
01:53It was a busy day for the president after swearing in.
01:57He signed around 100 executive order.
02:02Is that a big number?
02:03Remember, you wonders.
02:04To give you an idea, eight years ago, in the first day in the presidency, he signed only
02:10one executive order.
02:12Which one are the most important executive order he signed?
02:17Some has to do to erase what his predecessor, Joe Biden, did.
02:22He said, you know, it doesn't mean anything right now.
02:26Then he did a lot of things about immigration, to militarize the borders, to run a lot.
02:35Now that's a constitution thing.
02:37You know, here, if you are born in the USA, you immediately becomes an American.
02:43He's going to change that because he's trying to control the immigration.
02:48He said he's going to be, USA is going to be out of the Paris agreement related to
02:54the weather.
02:57He's also the health world organization, USA is not going to be there anymore.
03:04Something is getting a lot of controversy right now.
03:07He pardoned, you remember, four years ago, this group of people who tried to get into
03:12the Congress to stop the process of certification, the winning of Joe Biden.
03:19He pardoned all those, well, around 150 people.
03:23That's something, really, a lot of controversy because those people, they broke the law.
03:29That's very clear.
03:30We saw the picture.
03:31A policeman who was fighting them lost his life, but Donald Trump pardoned all of them.
03:40Let's see what's happened, what he promised yesterday in his inaugural speech about to
03:45change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America, also about what he's going to
03:52do with Panama.
03:53There are a lot of things we have to see if he can do that, but this is a new era in the
04:01USA, and we are witness all this, and I want to finish this report with the situation of
04:08the immigration.
04:10They promised massive immigration, massive deportation, immigration measure.
04:13We don't know what's going to happen, but what I can tell you, the Latin community who
04:21doesn't have the documents to work, they're really scared.
04:25We were talking to some of them this morning here in front of the hotel, and they said
04:29we don't know what's going to happen.
04:31So far we don't have information of any arrest.
04:35They promised that something in Chicago, but it could happen any minute.
04:39That story is developing, and we are going to bring you the story as soon as we get more
04:44of it.
04:45This is all for now.
