  Speaker 1: to the White House. Among other things, the president withdrew

  Speaker 1: from the landmark Paris Agreement, rescinded seventy eight Biden era
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: executive actions, and implemented a federal hiring freeze. He also
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: signed several immigration related executive orders, announced upcoming tariffs on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Canada and Mexico, and issued pardons to more than one
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred people convicted of crimes related to the deadly
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: January sixth, twenty twenty one Capital riot. Trump signed his
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: first few executive orders before the inaugural luncheon Monday afternoon.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: The orders appointed dozens of cabinet level officials and acting
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: officials across the government, pending Senate confirmation of Trump's cabinet nominees.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Officials who were appointed in acting capacity cities via executive
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: orders include Trump signed a number of other the executive
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: actions at the Capital One Arena in Washington, d c.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Where he addressed supporters in the late afternoon. The actions
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: he signed included the recision of seventy eight Biden era
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: executive orders, actions and memoranda. A regulatory freeze preventing bureaucrats
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: from issuing any more regulations until we have full control
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of the government. A freeze on all federal hiring except
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in the military, and a number of other excluded categories.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: A requirement that federal workers returned to full time in
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: person work. Directing agencies to address americans cost of living crisis,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and informing the United Nations
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of the US withdrawal from the landmark Climate Treaty. A
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: directive to the federal government ordering the restoration of freedom
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of speech and preventing government censorship of free speech going forward.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: A directive to the federal government ending the weaponization of
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: government against the political adversaries of the previous administration as
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we've seen. Trump then headed to the White House, where
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: one of the first things he did was pardon more
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: than one thousand, five hundred people convicted in connection to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the deadly January sixth, twenty twenty one Capital riot. Many
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of Trump's campaign promises may be able to be implemented
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: by executive order, but others will require support from Congress.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Republicans have a majority in the House and Senate, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: their slim House majority and the existence of the Senate
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: filibuster mean Trump will need cooperation from at least some
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Democratic lawmakers to pass parts of his agenda. Many of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: these orders are likely to face legal challenges over the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: coming months, as liberal groups and watchdog organizations have pledged
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to sue the Trump administration over some of the president's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: campaign pledges. Trump signed an executive order seeking to end
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship. The order will almost certainly face legal challenges
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: since birthright citizenship is enshrined in the u. S. Constitution.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He also signed an order designating Mexican drug cartels and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: some other organizations to be foreign terrorists organizations. That's a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: big one, Trump said while signing the order. People have
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to do this for years. Immigration, Trump's signature issue,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: will be the focal point of several executive orders. He
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: promised mass deportations starting the first day of his administration,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: though these efforts are likely to draw swift legal challenges,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: but there are numerous orders he could sign to tighten
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the border that were in effect during his first term,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: like reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, which required asylum
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: seekers to stay in Mexico while their cases go through
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: courts in the US. He has also signaled that he
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: will issue an order declaring a national emergency at the border,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: which would free up funding to use on immigration issues.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The president signed a number of executive orders, withdrawing the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: United States from key agreements and agencies and immediately withdrawing
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: from the one sided Paris Climate Accord Ripoff. Trump said
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Monday at the Capitol One Arena, the United States will
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: He also withdrew the US from the World Health Organization.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Trump fulfilled his campaign promise to impose steep tariffs on
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: countries like Canada and Mexico, saying that as of February first,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: there will be a twenty five percent tariff on imports
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: from both countries. He also signed an executive order extending
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the deadline for TikTok's parent company Byte Dance to divest
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: from the app, just one day after a law requiring
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: its ban took effect. The app went offline for a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: few hours in the US on Sunday, but became available
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: again after the company announced that it believed Trump would
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: block the ban from taking effect. Trump's executive order gave
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: byte Dance an additional ninety days to divest from TikTok
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to avoid a ban on the app. The president will
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: likely sign orders loosening regulations that the Biden administration imposed
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on fossil fuel companies to mitigate the risk of climate change.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Trump will also likely target Biden era limitations on offshore
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: drilling and policies meant to encourage the use of electric
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: vehicles evs, both of which Trump singled out in his
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: inaugural address. I'll also sign an executive order to immediately
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: end federal government censorship of the American people, he said,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: as his supporters cheered. In America, we believe in free speech,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and we're bringing it back starting today. The president has
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: also signaled he would sign orders addressing key culture war
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: issues like transgender rights. He has said he will cut
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: funding for schools that promote concepts of gender theory, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: said in his inaugural address that there are only two genders,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: male and female. The House already passed a bill that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: would prohibit transgender women and girls from playing in women's sports,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: but it's unclear whether the bill will have enough votes
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in the Senate to pass the sixty vote filibuster, as
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it has received little support from Democrats. The forty seventh
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: president will sign an order renaming the Gulf of Mexico
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to the Gulf of America. He will also revert the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: name of Mount Denali, the highest mountain in North America,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to Mount McKinley. The peak was called Mount McKinley until
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: then President Barack Obama changed it in two thousand and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: fifteen to Denali, the traditional Athabascan name in all federal documents.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Trump will make these changes to honor American greatness. According
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to a preview of the coming executive orders that the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: President's Press secretary posted online, one of the first executive
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: orders Trump plans to sign will create the Department of
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Government Efficiency, Semaphore reported, citing a fact sheet it viewed.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: DOS will oversee a substantial reduction in the size and
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: scope of government and operate within the US government. Semaphore reported,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: quoting from the fact sheet. Trump announced the creation of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: DODE shortly after winning the twenty twenty four election. The
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: department will be led by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. According
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to Semaphore, DOES will work with the Office of Management
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and Budget and all agencies to shrink the federal workforce,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: federal spending, and federal regulatory burdens. But the president faces
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: an uphill battle to creating the new department, as evidenced
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: by a lawsuit filed minutes after he was inauguratedudging that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: DOGE violates federal transparency rules. Trump allies have signaled that
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he could sign up to one hundred executive orders on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: his first day in office, which would be the highest
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: number any president has signed on their first day. Up
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: until the last few decades, presidents typically signed few or
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: no executive orders in their first week or day in office.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Trump signed one order on inauguration day twenty seventeen and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: four others in the week that followed. Biden signed twenty
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: four orders from January twenty to January twenty seven, twenty
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: twenty one. Former President Barack Obama signed five in his
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: first week, and previous presidents signed fewer orders upon taking office.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Stay with me over the next couple of days and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I update thanks time in office, have a great day.
