00:10a day after President Donald Trump's Inauguration Day.

00:14Hi, Luis, let's start, if you let me, with the reaction about one of the more controversial

00:24executive order of Donald Trump.

00:28Right now we are getting the information that 18 states, they are going to sue to stop Trump's

00:35birthright citizenship order.

00:38That's one of the many executive orders that he signed yesterday, and that's against the

00:44Constitution.

00:45So at 18 states, the prosecutor of those states, they decide they are going to sue that decision

00:52of Donald Trump.

00:53We knew that was going to happen.

00:55Let me tell you what Donald Trump did today.

00:57He was in a cathedral with the Vice President, and in the next minute, he's going to have

01:05a meeting with the two leaders of the Congress, the upper house, lower house, they are in

01:13hands of the Republican, and he's going to talk to the majority leader of each chamber.

01:19Because he's going to need a lot of help from the Congress to do all what he has to do.

01:25Let's talk about his cabinet.

01:27The first member of his cabinet that has sworn in, it was this morning, Marco Rubio.

01:32Marco Rubio is the new chief of state.

01:35He said, secretary of state, he's the new secretary of state.

01:39He said he's there to follow and defend the American foreign policy.

01:45He's really a controversial candidate, but the Congress gave him a green flag because

01:5499 members of the Congress accept his nomination, and this morning, the Vice President, J.D.

02:01Pence, swore him in.

02:04Let's see how's the reaction with him with Latin America.

02:07Let's talk about Latin America a little bit.

02:10Yesterday, when Donald Trump was in the Capitol One Arena with his followers, he signed a

02:19few executive orders, and one of the reporters, a reporter from Brazil, asked him, what's

02:25going to be the relationship of the USA with Latin America under your presidency?

02:33He said, it's going to be great, because we do not need Latin America.

02:38Latin America needs us.

02:41That's an idea.

02:42What's going to happen with Latin America?

02:44They also asked him about Venezuela.

02:47He said Venezuela was 20 years ago.

02:50He said he knows Venezuela a lot, that Venezuela was great 20 years ago, and now it's not anymore.

02:57I mean, 20 years ago, the president of Venezuela was Hugo Chavez, and then we have all the

03:03sanctions, all that situation that contribute a lot to that mess situation that the president

03:09is referring.

03:10Let's talk also about the polemic things, about the massive deportation.

03:42We have a chance to talk to different ONG that take care of the immigrants in this country,

03:48and they said people are scared.

03:59critical.

04:00He's going to send soldiers, militaries, to stop people coming into the country.

04:06Also, he said he's going to impose taxes on Canada, Mexico, and other foreign countries.

04:13Mexico and Canada, they already react, saying that the situation is going to be complicated,

04:20but they have the right to do the same thing that the USA is doing.

04:26That's the situation right now.
