00:00And as we inform on our first segment, on Monday Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th

00:05President of the United States.

00:11Hi, Carlos.

00:12What can you share with us at this hour?

00:15At this hour, we are processing what Trump said after swearing to be the 47th President

00:24of this country.

00:25There are so many things he said, so many things that they are impossible to do, that

00:30I mean, there are different reactions.

00:32He talks, after swearing in, he talk about Panama, that the canal is going to go back

00:40to USA, something is absolutely impossible.

00:44The President of Panama already said, you know, that's not going to happen.

00:48He talk about immigration, something he said a lot during the campaign about deportation,

00:54is scaring a lot of people here in the capital, in the whole country.

01:00Let's see what's happen tomorrow, maybe in Chicago they are going to start massive deportation.

01:05He talk about the situation in the border, he's going to declare emergency, something

01:11he's already active.

01:12There is an application that people who wants to apply to come to this country legally,

01:19they can ask for an appointment in this application.

01:24The application is discontinued in this moment, so a lot of people are upset for that, because

01:29if they want to come here legally, that application was something that was helping them a lot.

01:35Now they cannot do it, so it's really something, maybe they are going to try to come illegally,

01:41you don't know, to cross the border.

01:43He's going to send more military to the border.

01:47He talk about Mars, he said that the American flag is going to be on Mars, Elon Musk, one

01:53of his faithful helpers, he won the election, he was really happy, he was in the Congress

02:02with, also Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook was there, Chepezo, the owner of

02:09Amazon was there.

02:10Also, there were not many people because it was done in a small place, due to the weather

02:16is very cold, the idea was to do it outside, but they have to do it in the rotunda of

02:21the Congress, a place that no more than two, three hundred people, they were allowed.

02:26But the people who want to see Donald Trump here in the capital, they were expecting two

02:31hundred thousand people, I'm sure much less came when they found out on Friday that he's

02:36going to be inside the ceremony and all the traditional parade and festivities.

02:43But all those people, they are in a stadium, a stadium that's really close to where we

02:47are, a few blocks, there is a lot of security there, it's called the Capital One Arena,

02:53it's where the basketball team, the men and women, WNBA, NBA, they play there, the Wizards

03:00of Washington, it has a capacity for 20,000 people, they are there right now, and Donald

03:05Trump, after signing those executive orders, he said they're going to be around 100, he's

03:11in the White House right now, and he's going to go there.

03:15Over there, there are a lot of people waiting, they want to celebrate the presidency, the

03:21comeback of Donald Trump during the whole afternoon, there were different groups, different

03:26celebrities talking to the crowd, some of them, they spent the whole night outside,

03:32it was extremely cold, it was minus 10 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night, but they

03:37were camping outside, so today, this morning, when they opened the doors, they were the

03:42first one to get in, and there was a big scream, and they can watch the ceremony in the Congress

03:48in that place, Trump is going to be there, and he's going to talk to them, and we are

03:52going to pay attention to what he has to say, but we are already still processing all those

03:58announcements he did today in his first speech as President of the USA, I'm going back to

04:04you to the studio.
