1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Now, Donald Trump hasn't held back. On his first day

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: as president, he signed twenty six executive orders ending birthright citizenship,

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: leaving the World Health Organization, and he backtracked on seventy

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: eight executive actions taken by the Biden administration. These were

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: among the orders. He also declared a national order emergency,

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: and US correspondent Nick Harper joins me, now, thanks for

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: your time, Nick.

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: Good warning, Francesca, A busy day.

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: What does it all mean. What's the reaction being.

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, an unbelievably busy day, showing that he is hitting

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: the ground running and showing that he has a very

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: clear agenda for his second time in the White House.

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: The reaction from Republicans his party, as you could imagine,

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: is one of absolute delight. They feel that Donald Trump,

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: the man who can save America, is back where he belongs,

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: back in the White House, and is enacting a whole

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: raft of legislative agenda that they have been wanting to

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: see for the last four years, the four years under

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: President Biden that they feel has been four years of

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: decline for the country. On the other side of the isle,

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: the Democrats have been looking at this and wondering if

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: the country is now going to the dogs because there

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: is significant concern about some of those executive actions he

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 2: signed yesterday. Top of the list amongst worry four Democrats

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: seems to be what he's doing to the rule of

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: law and the Justice Department overturning the convictions of one

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: thy five hundred people who had been convicted for their

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: actions on January sixth, twenty twenty one, when they stormed

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: the US Capitol. So it really depends on who you ask.

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: Some people love Donald Trump being back, some are very

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: concerned what will happen over the next four years.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: Are we going to see similar action today his first

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: full day as president.

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit different. I think for this day,

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: there is the potential for more orders to be signed,

36
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: but he's also getting into I guess the nitty gritty

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: of the details today. First order of business at the moment,

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: he's attending the special National Prayer ceremony that always takes

39
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: place the day after inauguration at that taking place in Washington,

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: DC's National Cathedral. But after that he heads to Capitol

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: Hill where he'll be meeting with the top Republicans there,

42
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: really speaking about what he hopes to achieve on Capitol

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: Hill to try and get his legislation pushed through over

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: the coming months. There is also a suggestion that there

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: will be a big announcement later on infrastructure that's been

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: teased by his White House Press secretary. Will see if

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: that develops, but there is, of course, with Donald Trump,

48
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: the potential for anything to happen at any moment. We

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: could see him back in the White House signing more

50
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 2: orders before the end of the day.

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: Do you see any of these executive orders being challenged

52
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: by the courts.

53
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: We've already seen challenges actually on one of them, in

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: particular his birthright citizenship plan. He wants to end that

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: if you're born in the US, you get citizenship by law,

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: but already claimants have come forward saying that he has

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: no authority to redefine American citizenship. And there are three

58
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: lawsuits against the newly created Department of Government Efficiency. That's

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: the one being headed up by Elon musk At. That

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: lawsuit claim that it is violating transparency laws. Potentially mortal

61
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: lawsuits to come on some of the other actions he's

62
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: announced as well.

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: On nex. Thank you so much for your time this morning.
