00:00Hello and welcome to this special broadcast, All Eyes are on United States which is going
00:11to get its 47th president today.
00:13Without much ado, let me take you straight away to Washington DC where all the action
00:17is going to unfold and senior journalist Prerna Chandeliya joins us from Washington DC.
00:23Prerna, I know apart from the chill that is there, what is the warmth and the talk of
00:28the town as Donald Trump is heading to take the oath as 47th president?
00:33Right Pankaj, it's a really long and a big day here in Washington DC.
00:40Everything is quite excited, the city is chilling definitely in a literal way but to start off
00:46I think Donald Trump, president elect still, is going to start his day with a church service
00:53that's part of his itinerary and then he'll move to a tea with the outgoing president
00:59President Biden and first lady Jill Biden and after the tea at the White House they'll
01:04move to the inauguration ceremony which is of course set up to happen at 12 noon around
01:11Eastern time here in Washington DC and right after the inauguration there's going to be
01:19what is called a departing ceremony between the outgoing president and the incoming president
01:24and a little bit more ceremony that are very traditional like the review of troops and
01:30again a lunch with the congressional committee at the Capitol and right after that President
01:38Trump is going to join his supporters at Capital One Arena which he promised because now the
01:46inauguration has moved indoors because of this chilling cold that's where he's going
01:50to meet his supporters so that's all for the day.
01:54Right Prerna, we can't thank you enough for actually braving that cold fearing which you
02:01know the whole process and program has been shifted.
02:05We have known Trump to be very eccentric and right from assuming the office he's expected
02:11obviously to make certain key decisions.
02:14Any idea about that?
02:15What is he going to do first things when he assumes the office?
02:18Yes definitely Pankaj, President-elect Donald Trump has promised a host of reforms that
02:25he's gonna you know bring up on the very first day as for the sources that we are learning
02:30right now is that he's gonna order about 200 executive orders in the very first day which
02:37includes various you know sort of reforms but the first thing that he's gonna do is
02:42to declare an emergency at the Mexico-US border and start a mass deportation where he's gonna
02:49raid all the undocumented immigrants who are living in the United States and if they are
02:55found undocumented they very you know might be deported at the time so that's first of
03:01the things that he's gonna do then that like you also mentioned yesterday in the rally
03:05that he's gonna pardon January 6th offenders which he called them as you know hostages
03:14and so yeah that's the second thing he's gonna do other than that TikTok is also the major
03:19thing that Donald Trump has already promised that he's gonna you know pass the executive
03:22order and stop the ban of the TikTok in this country so these are the few things that's
03:28in line for President-elect Donald Trump to pass in the very first day but apart from
03:31that the week is gonna be full of action and we'll see a lot more things coming up.
03:37Absolutely and Varunia would also be bringing you all the highlights for the viewers so
03:42one final question Prerna, you are an Indian there among the many several thousand Indians
03:49who live in Washington DC and lakhs of them spread across the country itself what difference
03:55would it make for the Indians living in America and also what about H-1B visa?
04:01Right Pankaj, so as of now like I said President-elect Donald Trump is gonna pass an executive order
04:08to start immigration action on various undocumented immigrants living in the United States and
04:15that also includes a few Indians you know usually Indians in America are a very reputed
04:21community where they hold really high paying jobs like you mentioned H-1B visa holders
04:26but there's also a certain population of Indians who live undocumented who might be illegal
04:31so that there's gonna be a problem for them but talking about H-1B visa it's a very contentious
04:37issue now in the Trump world where it's very clearly divided between parties there's one
04:42section like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy who say that H-1B visa is good for the economy
04:48and they really support it in fact Elon Musk even went ahead and said that he's gonna go on
04:53war if something happens to the H-1B program but then there's this other side of the MAGA world
04:59of Trump world like Steve Bannon like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who says that it's a harm
05:05for the American workers and they openly criticize it so it's going to be interesting to see what
05:11President-elect Trump does in terms of H-1B visa and what would be his action when it comes to
05:18foreign workers and such foreign visas right to MAGA as Prerna says make America great again
05:25that's the mantra to which the 47th presidency would be speaking about Elon Musk lots of names
05:32there who would be calling the shots as well Prerna thank you so much for braving this cold
05:37once again and standing out in the open and speaking to One India really appreciate it
05:41thank you for having me Pankaj
