00:00Welcome back to From the South.
00:02As we inform, this Monday, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United
00:08States.
00:09In this context, we contact our special envoy to Washington, D.C., Carlos Monteros.
00:13Hi, Carlos.
00:14What can you share with us at this hour?
00:18Thank you very much.
00:19We are almost at the end of a historic night.
00:22Donald Trump finished that day in the basketball stadium, the Capital One Arena, where he
00:29is with all the people who wanted to be outside on the street, but the weather didn't let
00:35them.
00:36They have to cancel all the celebration outside, all the ceremony of the swearing of the President
00:41has to be inside of the Congress, what is called the Rotunda.
00:47Trump did his first speech.
00:48I mean, he talked about everything.
00:51You mentioned some of those points.
00:53He talked from Mars, that the American flag, they're going to be in France.
00:57He talked about the deportation.
01:00He talked about the militarized, the South Frontier with Mexico.
01:05He talked about the Canal of Panama.
01:08He talked about the Gulf of Mexico.
01:10That's going to change the name, Gulf of America.
01:13He talks, there are two channels, only men and female.
01:17That's a very hit for LGBT community.
01:22What he did when he finished, he has a ceremony, he has lunch in the Congress.
01:27It was a ceremony there with the militaries.
01:32From there, he went to this arena where he signed a lot of executive orders, 100.
01:41He signed some at the Congress and the rest here in the arena.
01:46The arena is a few blocks from where we are.
01:50The people went crazy because those people, they wanted to celebrate on the street.
01:54Like I said before, they couldn't do it for the weather, so in that place, it has a capacity
01:59for 20,000 people.
02:01Those people, they've been there the whole day, watching the ceremony in the Capitol,
02:06but there were different celebrities talking to them.
02:09There was music.
02:10It was some show, and the strong performance is the performance of Donald Trump, who's
02:16going to sign the executive order and talk to them about saying how great America is
02:23going to be.
02:24It's going to be the first time that people are not going to believe how great America
02:30is going to do.
02:31People went crazy when he is saying that, American people, his followers, but the reality
02:37is America's deep trouble, especially here with the situation of the immigrant, the people
02:43who don't have documents, who live on the shallow.
02:46There are around 12 million people.
02:48We don't know what's going to happen.
02:51Rumors are that tomorrow in Chicago, it's going to be a lot of search of those people
02:57and deport them, and that generates here a lot of confusion, a lot of stress in this
03:04community that they don't know what's going to happen with them from today or tomorrow
03:10morning in Chicago, especially, and another sanctuary cities.
03:14Those are people who are here looking for a better life, trying to work, honest people.
03:19Most of them, even Trump tried to say that a lot of people are criminals.
03:24They don't respect the law, but most of them are honest people.
03:28I know quite a lot of them.
03:30What's going to happen tomorrow is going to be really a situation, really tough for all
03:35of them.
03:36We are going to follow that story very close.
03:39For the moment, this is all.
03:41I'm going back to you, to the studio.
