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.
