00:00If you are interested in English, we are going live with our special envoy, Carlos Montero,

00:07who is in Washington, D.C., as we are hours away from the inauguration of President-elect

00:13Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, coming

00:18in a few hours.

00:19Let's go live to Washington, D.C., with our special envoy.

00:22In a very cold morning here in the capital of the USA, but everything is ready for the

00:28swearing-in of Donald Trump as the 47th President of this country, this cold weather may change

00:34all the plans.

00:35Usually, the tradition is the presidents who are outside, where a lot of people celebrate

00:41on the street, Pennsylvania Avenue, the president should walk from there or drive to the White

00:47House.

00:48In this case, it's going to be completely different, because it's so-called the organizer.

00:53They are scared for the health of the people being here outside.

00:58So what is going to be inside?

00:59It's going to be in the capital, a place that's called the Rotunda.

01:04That's where the small place is, a really tiny place that makes really a big mess for

01:09the organizers, because they were expecting 2,000 special guests.

01:16But there is only a place for around 300 people, so it is really complicated.

01:21There are a lot of dignitaries from different parts of the world, mostly from the right

01:27spectrum, like the prime minister of Italy, the president of Argentina, Javier Millet,

01:32the president of El Salvador.

01:35So let's go to see how to accommodate them.

01:37What's the tradition?

01:38Today, the president that's leaving the White House, Biden, receives the president who is

01:44going to take the oath in a few hours.

01:47They have tea or coffee together, and then that's something so important to see how they

01:52react with each other.

01:54Then at 12 o'clock at noon, Biden said goodbye to the White House, and in the capital, in

02:02this place, the Rotunda, Donald Trump is going to swear over the Bible, a Bible that was

02:10given to him by his mother.

02:13And then he said he's going to start working.

02:16No time to waste.

02:17He's going to sign around 100 executive orders.

02:23And the one who was working also this morning was President Biden.

02:27He didn't prevent it, because, you know, they are scared that Donald Trump take retaliation

02:32against people who investigate him.

02:34So for that reason, Biden this morning, he gave to the people of the committee who are

02:40investigating what's happened six, four years ago in the capital with the branch of people

02:46who tried to get inside and stop the procedure with my friends trying to certify the results,

02:53those people that are going to be no problem with the law if Donald Trump decides to take

02:59any kind of action.

03:00Dr. Anthony Fauci, you remember, during the COVID era, he said also he's not going to

03:07have any problem if Donald Trump decides to look for something to penalize him for what

03:15he did.

03:16So that's going to be what's happened today.

03:17It's going to be a very interesting day.

03:19A lot of people here in the capital, a lot of people are going to be together waiting

03:24right now.

03:25They spend the whole night in a stadium, a basketball stadium, Capital One Arena, where

03:30it's going to have a big monitor for people who cannot be on the street.

03:34They are going to be inside of that place, even though it's not too big, only 20,000

03:39seats.

03:40And then Donald Trump is going to be there.

03:43Be careful today.

03:44Be, what I want to say, pay attention to what Donald Trump is going to say, like 100th executive

03:52order.

03:53Let's see what's going to happen there.

03:55But we are going to be here in the capital in this cold morning, in this cold city, giving

04:00you all the information.

04:02Going back to you at the studios.
