the speech, probably not actually all that impactful in telling us where donald trump is going to go. >> it's just like incredible to see him like not riff for once, but it was just his greatest hits. except he read them, you know, and i still think it was dark. i still think it was american carnage. he's like, america is a wasteland right now, and i'm going to save it and dip it in gold. but like it was not i don't necessarily agree with the wall street journal that this was like some hope and unity speech. >> few people in american politics get to start over, and this is not a fresh start for donald trump, but he is in the best position he's ever been in his political life. more people view him favorably than unfavorably. i think yesterday, maybe there's a window that he's going to take advantage of that maybe. >> although then he went to the oval office after that speech and pardoned all of the people who assaulted police officers on january 6th, among other things. all right. first full day of the trump era about to unfold. thanks to our panel. thanks to all of you for being here. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. cnn news central

starts right now. >> and this morning, a dizzying array of executive orders and more on the way as newly minted president donald trump wakes up to his first full day of his second term, he has already unleashed a stunning series of actions from the oval office, from pardoning violent january 6th offenders to sweeping immigration action. what else the president plans to do in his first 100 days. >> and a major winter blast is hitting the country this morning, bringing with it the first ever blizzard warning for parts of louisiana and texas. flight delays and cancellations are already building up, and we have a new college football champion. the school that demands we call it the ohio state university. with the big win last night over notre dame, i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner. john berman is out

today. this is cnn news central. >> this morning a new trump era well underway as the president moves to transform the federal government and the united states role in global issues. today, on his first full day back in the white house, president trump is expected to announce even more executive actions. he spent his first few hours in office yesterday, signing off on a barrage of executive orders. 78 of them reversed biden era policies. he also, as he often promised on the campaign trail, pardoned nearly all of the january 6th rioters, including hundreds convicted of violent felonies. he also declared a national emergency at the southern border and kicked off the process to try and end birthright citizenship. the president also pulled the u.s. out of the paris climate agreement and the world health

organization, and he delayed enforcement of the tiktok ban for 75 days. and there's more. >> the next item here is the withdrawal from the paris climate treaty. protecting women from radical gender ideologies. >> ooh, it will henceforth be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders, male and female. >> this is actually an executive order designating the cartels and other organizations to be foreign terrorist organizations. >> that's a big one. so this is january 6th, and these are the hostages, approximately 1500 for a pardon. yes. full pardon. we hope they come out tonight. frankly, that is exactly what happened. >> the president did get his wish overnight, the first 2nd january, six rioters were released. two brothers each

sentenced to two and a half years for assaulting police, walked out of a d.c. jail. many more will follow suit. cnn's kevin liptak is at the white house for us this morning. kevin, more executive orders on the way. we hear. >> yeah, that's right. sara, the new trump presidency now about 19 hours old president trump waking up in that building behind me for the first time in four years. and already we're getting a good window into what the next four years will look like. president trump, wielding his executive power in unprecedented fashion, really testing the bounds of his presidential powers, ranging from the highly symbolic like renaming some geographic landmarks to the highly consequential, like those blanket pardons for rioters. on january 6th, the president issuing 1500 full pardons. in his telling, including for 14 far right extremists, full clemency for people who are already

convicted. these are individuals accused both of low level crimes, but also those accused of violence. on that day. in all, president trump revoking 78 biden era executive orders on issues related to sex and gender die. the president withdrawing from the paris climate accord and the world health organization trying to reshape the federal workforce, halting federal regulations and hiring the president. also looking to get rid of adversaries in the federal government, saying in a truth social post last night that my presidential personnel office is in the process of identifying and removing over 1000 presidential appointees from the previous administration who are not aligned with our vision to make america great again. the president says you're fired. so you're already seeing the president wasting very little time to try and bend the federal government to his will on policy and personnel. in

total, the white house says that the president issued 42 executive orders, memoranda or proclamations yesterday, 115 personnel actions in total, more than 200 executive actions. i do think it's notable what the president didn't accomplish yesterday that he promised to do on day one. he stopped short of issuing new tariffs on mexico and canada. he said last night that he planned to put those in place on february 1st. we're also now a few hours from the president's own self-imposed deadline for ending the conflict in ukraine. of course, that conflict grinds on. the president says he wants to speak to president putin to see if he is willing to reach a deal. now, later today, the president will conclude his inaugural rituals with a ceremony at the national cathedral. it's also expected to invite republican congressional leaders here to the white house as he sets out to put forth his legislative agenda. there are a number of thorny issues for those leaders to work through, but this is

all setting the table for the next four years. >> sara kevin liptak, thank you so much. live there from the white house for us, kate. >> also breaking overnight ice raids are coming. that is the message from president trump as he is moving quickly to bring about his promised immigration crackdown. listen to this. >> can we expect ice raids in major cities? >> i don't want to say when, but it's going to happen, has to happen, or we're not going to have a country left out of the gate. >> yesterday, there was major. there was maybe no bigger focus for president trump than the southern border declaring a national emergency at the us-mexico border, labeling mexico drug cartels, terrorist organizations, moving to end birthright citizenship. the aclu has already filed a lawsuit against that one. cnn's priscilla alvarez is in washington tracking all of this for us. i listed out just a few, and there is a lot more here. what are you learning? what's the latest? >> there's a lot more here,

kate, but certainly president trump's executive actions on immigration were stunning in their scale and scope. but it was actually one move that he didn't talk about over the course of the day that had the widest implications and the fastest implications for those migrants along the u.s. southern border. that was that, that appointments that were scheduled through a border app known as cbp one. well, those were canceled. that was something that the biden administration had been using to allow migrants seeking asylum to make appointments at a legal point of entry, essentially keeping them from crossing the border illegally, while people who were queued up to do exactly that, who had appointments scheduled at least 21 days in advance, well, they don't have appointments anymore. and homeland security officials are now telling me that they're concerned that because of that, the crossings along the us-mexico border may now increase. but that was just one part of the many moves that were made over the course of the day yesterday. to your point, earlier, some of the other actions that were laid out were a national emergency

on the u.s. southern border. that means shoring up resources from the pentagon to place along the u.s. southern border. there was also the ending of birthright citizenship. now, he can't do that outright. this is part of a process, and it begins by directing agencies not to give certain documents to individuals who may have an undocumented parent. this is all part of a process that officials have been working on for a long time now. the idea being that there will be a legal challenge as there is, and that ultimately the supreme court will have to decide on this very issue. and then two, there was cartels designating them as foreign terrorist organizations. this is important. this was an idea that has been resurfaced from trump's first term. essentially, you could preface the use of military force on mexican soil. so we'll have to see how mexico responds to that. so far, that has been something that experts say could really strain the relationship with the u.s. and mexico. but these were three massive moves that still don't even cover the breadth of all of what they did, including,

for example, suspending refugee admissions for a period of time. that, too, is going to have that effect on those looking to come to the united states from abroad. now, again, as all of this was being rolled out, what sources were telling me that there was a quiet purge that was happening at the justice department. the justice department has an immigration office that oversees the nation's immigration courts. why are they important? well, because immigration judges decide who gets to stay in the united states and who is deported. and so for career public servants, i'm told, were fired yesterday by trump officials. that really stunned some of their colleagues, both current and former. so it gives us a window into how the trump administration is already strategizing to install those who they believe are aligned with their agenda as they embark on this immigration crackdown. >> kate, and let's see what more there is to come. even today. priscilla, thank you very much ahead for us, president trump also now

setting a date that he will be imposing major tariffs against canada and mexico, not day one, but maybe february 1st. what that means for the prices that you'll pay. >> let's put god number one, let's put religion number two. i love i don't know. we got to put that number three, i guess, right. and then it's tariff because tariffs are going to make us rich as hell. >> also breaking overnight three fast moving fires in san diego county california. now some threatening buildings and structures. we're keeping a close eye on that. and 18,000 costco workers are set to go on strike if they cannot reach a deal with the with the retailer. very soon. details on that coming up. >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history.

generational winter storm event. it is urging people in its path to really take this seriously. cnn's ed lavandera is in houston, and elisa raffa is tracking this storm for us. ed, i'm going to start with you because you're in such a rare situation, the first ever blizzard warning is in effect for south texas. and i have never seen houston look like this before. >> yeah. in fact, the last time was during that winter freeze that we had several years ago here in texas that shut the whole state down. but it is still nonetheless rare, especially when you're talking about blizzard condition warnings that are going out in some places along the gulf coast in a region of the united states that is used to seeing these types of weather, event warnings have to do with hurricanes. this is what the scene looks like in many parts of houston. this weather system moving from the southeast texas area along the u.s. southern

coast. a lot of snow fall here, expecting maybe 2 to 5in in some places. but it's coming down rather nicely. and just to give you a sense of just how areas like this are not prepared for this, the state of texas is having to send snow plows into the area. they're just not routinely here. and the mayor of houston is urging people throughout today and into tomorrow as well, to simply stay off the roads. >> i ask you to lower your activities, stay at home, look out for our most vulnerable, our seniors, our pets, our plants. >> i can't emphasize enough how coming together, having a united community is going to get us through this arctic blast. >> now, sara, i know that if you live in the north of the united states, you're probably looking at all of this and probably giggling a little bit. but in places like here where

they're just not used to this, you have the mayor of houston talking about how this is an unprecedented and dangerous and potentially deadly weather event, and that's why they're so concerned for what might happen here in the next day or two. so you have schools closed. you have road closures starting to pop up all over the region as well. so, you know, this southeast texas area and into the rest of the gulf coast are going to be dealing with quite a bit here over the next day or so. sara. >> and trust me, we are not giggling over here in the north because it is downright cold as h-e-double hockey sticks. thank you so much for the live look in houston. an unusual and rare event there. let's go now to elisa raffa, who is in the weather studios for us this morning. just how bad is this going to get? how cold is it going to get and what kind of dangers does this really pose? because this is truly a dangerous storm, hitting places that just aren't used to seeing this. >> and that's the dangerous part. like ed was saying, they don't have snow plows and salt

and salt trucks in places like houston, new orleans, jacksonville and charleston. that's where we have these winter warnings. plus that blizzard warning in effect for lake charles, louisiana. first time ever. just incredible. you can see the snow pumping from houston to baton rouge and new orleans. jackson, mississippi. that continues as we go through the day today. if new orleans gets more than three inches of snow, that would be their snowiest day ever. the record set back in 1963. so just incredible. and you can see that path there of snow across the south. wind chills at -25 up in chicago. >> sarah, look, let's take us to another part of the country. you know, california has been dealing with these awful destructive, deadly fires. and now there's another one burning. can you give us some sense of what the weather is like? because i know there were really gusty winds overnight. >> yeah. unfortunately, it looks like we'll keep some of these gusty winds this morning as people are waking up in california and the dry air just

continues to hang around. here's a look at some new fires that ignited overnight in san diego county, north of san diego. so you can see that there. the lilac fire, the fire. these are some of the new ones that ignited overnight. we're still monitoring containment around los angeles. those fires have been burning over the last couple of weeks. and you can see today we have extreme fire conditions just north of los angeles. and then around in that area around san diego where we're looking at some of these wind gusts that could be damaging and that very dry air as low as 2% in some locations. so we'll continue with red flag warnings as we go through the day today. these gusts up to 70mph. some of these gusts could get close to 100mph. and again, that relative humidity very low. we do have that particularly dangerous situation north of los angeles continuing until about 10:00 this morning on the west coast. this again, very rare warning that's issued for fire weather. and we've seen it several times this month because of just how extreme these conditions are. so powerful, damaging winds from those santa ana winds that we've been tracking over the last couple of weeks. santa ana

winds kind of last through the week here. extremely low humidity as well. so we've got the worst of the winds happening this morning. it stays breezy, but the winds do come down a little bit. so if we can get through this morning with those winds being so powerful and not really spreading, some of the fires that are there, then hopefully things should get better. but the problem again is the drought conditions. i mean, last year we didn't have any because we had such a wet winter. and then today we had this year rather we have had really not any rain since the start of the water season. there is a little bit of rain in the forecast, but it's really not enough. >> sarah. >> yeah, it's really disturbing to see that those winds could gust up to 100mph, because that were that was the condition when the palisades fire blew up and caused so much damage as well as the eaton fire. thank you so much. elisa raffa there for us with all of the dangerous weather heading our way. all right ahead, we're learning more about president trump's proposed tariffs on our neighbors canada and

mexico. and when they could go into effect and new information this morning about a border agent who was shot and killed near the canadian border. those stories and more ahead. >> when winter season hits. emergency supports your immune system with so much more than vitamin c, be ready to fight back with emergency and for on the go immune support, try emergency crystals. know what? >> for generations, this ally to the north has been by your side. ontario, canada a partner connected by shared history, shared values and a shared vision for what we can achieve together, stable and secure. when the world around us isn't. you can rely on ontario for energy to power your growing economy and for the critical minerals crucial to new technologies. ontario is your third largest trading

come in and fentanyl to come in. >> cnn's matt egan joining us now. we've been talking about the threatened tariffs for a long time, but now he's putting a date on it. what does this mean. >> well look trump 2.0 is starting with shock and awe right. >> we got this avalanche of executive action from the president yesterday. and yet for the economy, for markets, perhaps the most consequential headline from yesterday was what we just heard from the president about these threatened february 1st tariffs on canada and on mexico. and look for consumers. the risk here is, of course, potentially higher prices, which would directly undermine what president trump is trying to do when it comes to fixing the cost of living. >> and make no mistake, no matter what trump says that they'll pay for it. every big retailer you're going to talk to in the united states says the prices it's going to be on the consumer. yeah. >> yeah. listen, that's exactly what has happened in the past, right? these are import taxes. they are paid by u.s. companies when they ship stuff in from overseas. and they often pass the cost along to consumers. and

look, canada. we imported $400 billion of goods from canada alone last year. everything from wood and cement that goes into building homes to foreign oil. it's the biggest source of foreign oil. analysts have said that this could cause gas prices, especially in the great lakes region, to go higher. mexico to we get cars, car parts, agriculture from mexico, 90% of the imported avocados and tomatoes into the u.s. come from mexico. but there's so many questions here, right? when does trump actually impose these tariffs? does he really go to 25%? does it start more gradual? and one of the biggest questions is how do other countries respond. right. canada has already signaled that they're not going to take this laying down. they're going to retaliate against u.s. goods. so this is just another one of those major question marks looming over the economy right now. i mean, trump is not proposing subtle changes here. these are sweeping changes. and the truth is, we don't really know how all of this is going to play out. i don't even think he does. >> yeah. and and what the

negotiated outcome is to avoid. this is also very unclear. right. if there is one. exactly. right. also meme coin the president and the first lady released a pair of meme coin that is grabbing a lot of attention. what is going on here? >> yeah. what is going on? look, this was one of the most stunning headlines from the past few days. the president and the first lady launching their own meme coins. they skyrocketed in value, instantly gathering billions, tens of billions of dollars in value. so for all of our viewers at home who maybe haven't launched their own meme coins yet, these are cryptocurrencies. they're based. they're inspired on internet or cultural trends, but there's really no intrinsic value or utility behind them. they just sort of exist to exist. they trade on momentum. they go up and down dramatically. and this is raising some concerns for obvious reasons, among ethics experts. right. because the president was elected with a lot of support from the crypto industry. he has promised to make america the crypto capital

of the whole entire world. and so now he's in a situation where he's going to preside over how the united states regulates crypto, while potentially profiting off of the value of his own cryptocurrency. richard painter, the top bush administration george w. bush administration ethics lawyer. he told me that he thinks it's really dangerous to have a situation where people who are supposed to oversee financial instruments also invest in them at the same time. so we have to watch this space very closely. >> the conflict is obvious. obvious as is. one can be. thank you so much. thanks, kate. much more to come. coming up for u.s., president trump's immigration crackdown has cities across the country preparing. so what are they doing to prepare? we have some new reporting on that and new reporting today. also on the lawsuits that are coming at president trump's government efficiency project. doge. >> i lay on my back frozen,

thinking the darkest thoughts, and then everything changed. >> dana said, you're still you and i love you, super man. >> the christopher reeve story, february 2nd. >> something about the way we're working just isn't working. >> when you're caught up in complex pay requirements or distracted by scheduling staff in multiple time zones, or thinking about the complexity of working in monterey while based in montreal, you're not doing the work you're meant to do. >> but with hr, pay time, talent, and analytics all in one global people platform, you can do the work you're meant to do. >> greatness hurts, but sometimes you gotta put on your game face. that's why tylenol provides fast, effective pain relief. that's tylenol, that's care without limits. >> i don't want a ding on my good credit, so i'm using experian to find cards with no ding decline. see these? they

schools and in their churches. cnn's whitney wild is joining us now from chicago. what more are you learning about how preparations are going for some of these cities who have called themselves sanctuary cities, especially when it comes to this new immigration push by president trump? >> sarah, a lot of the preparation involves ensuring that city officials understand that the sanctuary status of their cities means that they cannot engage with ice unless it is for a specific criminal action. sarah, the concern here is that these ice actions will go well beyond targeting violent criminals, and may include people who have no criminal history, no violent criminal history. we spoke with local elected leaders here who walked us through those fears from people in the community and what they are doing as the potential for these ice actions unfolds. >> there's a lot of fear. there's great concern. people

are having to decide whether to go out on the street, whether to go to work tomorrow. they've got to face up to whether they should take their children to school. and just genuine concerns that president trump wants to carry through on his promise to engage in the largest mass removal of immigrants from this country. >> you know, clearly, we're all concerned about what's going to happen next, but we are kind of mobilizing more than we did the last time it occurred. >> sarah, a lot of this comes down to educating migrants on what their rights are. should they encounter an ice agent. but the major themes here are do not interfere with a lawful ice action. the major messages are stay calm. comply. reach out to an attorney if you need to, and then ultimately. sarah again reminding local officials

here that includes public schools, for example, that they are not to engage with ice unless there is a criminal action pending. so those are the major themes here, sarah. but i'll tell you, on the ground, people are making those granular decisions. congressman garcia said people are moving around because they're concerned that their address is accessible to ice. and then further. one local church here has canceled in-person spanish services. sarah. >> all right. whitney wild, thank you so much for all your reporting on that. >> kate, something else. we are keeping a very close eye on. the trump administration already facing multiple lawsuits over doge. the elon musk led government efficiency project. the goal of doge is to slash trillions of dollars in federal spending. but even before donald trump's inaugural ceremony was over, lawsuits against doge were being filed. musk and vivek ramaswamy, remember, were both tapped to kind of co-lead this effort. but now ramaswamy appears to be headed for the exits on this one, already expected to announce another run for public office. let's get to it. cnn's rene marsh has much more for us from washington. what

are the lawsuits against doge all about? what are you learning? rene? >> good morning. kate. well, these two lawsuits, at least two of them, i should say filed, allege that president trump's doge is in violation of federal laws that require transparency and a balance of ideology. one of those lawsuits stating that only a select doge members who adhere to a particular philosophy, and the known members all share similar characteristics which reflect a particular black background. so lack of diversity on this doge initiative and the law, the federal law that they're discussing, that they're saying that doge is in violation of is called the federal advisory committee act, also known as ferpa, which essentially says that if you're going to have some sort of commission advising the president that there needs to be transparency, there needs to be a fairly balanced board of members. the lawsuit, though, was filed under the assumption that doge

would be this sort of outside entity advising the president. and and then the president would carry out their recommendations. however, yesterday, once the president signed the doge executive order, we realized that the structure of this initiative would be a lot different from what the president originally said. and also those involved described it as this sort of initiative that would be outside of the government. take a listen to the moment when the president signed this executive order. >> this is an order creating and implementing the department of governmental efficiency known as doge. >> okay. that's a big one. >> is elon musk going to get a west wing office? >> no, he's getting an office for about 20 people that were hiring to make sure that these get implemented. >> so what we learned yesterday is that president trump is creating a new government entity with doge, and it will

actually be a part of the executive branch. it will have offices within the white house. we also learned from this executive order that the united states digital service will be temporarily renamed the u.s. doge service for 18 months, and the executive order is directing federal agencies to establish their own doge teams that will consist of a doge team lead and engineer, human resource specialist, and an attorney. again, all residing within the federal government. kate. >> fascinating. as we're learning much more about it, because it was this amorphous thing from jump, and now it looks like it's becoming much more than maybe what people first anticipated. renee, thank you very much, sarah. >> all right. joining me now, republican strategist and former rnc communications director doug heye. and michael blake, founder and ceo of democracy project. he is also running for mayor of new york as a democrat. thank you, gentlemen, to both of you. first to you, doug. trump's pardons. we're going to start there. he made no effort to

distinguish between people who engaged in violence, compared with those who were charged or convicted of nonviolent offenses. the republican party has always said, as a party of law and order, donald trump himself has used the law and order rallying cry. how can they call themselves this after these pardons, which included men who beat d.c. police officer michael fanone and pepper sprayed u.s. capitol police officer brian sicknick, who then later died the next day. >> yeah, to be honest, sarah, i think it's really difficult for republicans to do that. and we can talk about a larger issue about the pardon process. i think, you know, it's obviously very difficult to change things that are in the constitution. i would love to do that with the pardoning process. what joe biden did yesterday was bad. what donald trump did yesterday was also terrible. >> and because of exactly what you laid out. >> and i take it personally, sarah, because some of the rooms that were in the capitol, that in the capitol that were stormed and people occupied, one of them was my office. so i look at it a little differently than obviously most voters

would. most voters haven't been to the capitol or, you know, into the into the complex, into certain offices and so forth. it's a shameful thing. it's a terrible way for donald trump to start. >> he had a real opportunity yesterday. >> and i think this starts things on, on a foot that really is terrible for the country. >> you heard doug, though. compare the two. he says what donald trump did was bad. what joe biden did was bad because joe biden pardoned some of his family members. and the january 6th committee for fear that they were going to be charged. but none of them have been charged. what do you make of that comparison? because you're going to hear that a lot, i think, from republicans that it's not even close. >> president biden protected his family because he knows that donald trump is doing absurd things, and he's going to attack them. >> donald trump pardoned insurrectionists. and so we can't even compare the two. and i got a lot of love for doug. obviously, we both have been political fellows, but they're not even comparable. you have someone in donald trump who used his first day

when he talked about cost of living. he didn't do that. he had an executive order to actually address prescription drug costs in the wrong direction. he's trying to end birthright citizenship, even for children that are born to mothers who are here. so when we talk about a pardon, the only person that was upset about yesterday was eric adams, because he clearly went to d.c. to try to get a pardon, didn't get it. so when we talk about what's going on, the difference between the two is you have a republican leadership in donald trump, who made it clear that he does not care about the country. he only cared about insurrectionists. so we can't compare the two. they're not even on the same playing field. >> i do want to talk about immigration. you brought up one of the issues. trump signed a bevy of executive orders on immigration, including shutting down the app that allows migrants to to legally apply for asylum. he also signed an order to to end birthright citizenship, something that the supreme court upheld in part as part of the 14th amendment's constitutional right. doug, when you look at these many executive orders, is trump

testing the waters to try and end legal immigration in this country yeah, sure. >> sarah, first, let me be clear. >> i'm very critical of donald trump here and where a lot of republicans aren't and haven't been. i've been consistent since day one, and day one was the day he came down that escalator. >> i'm never not going to be critical when he does the wrong thing. on the issue of of birthright citizenship and so forth, donald trump clearly is testing the waters for what is possible. clearly, the constitution on the 14th amendment is very clear on this. but what we've seen with voters quite often is that donald trump gets credit not for winning a fight, per se, but for engaging in the fight. i've heard it so many times. i'm thinking of a friend who lives in kernersville, north carolina right now who says, well, at least he tries. >> now, i may disagree sometimes with what donald trump tries, but that sentiment from voters is very real. it's part of why he won. he doesn't have to win this fight. he just has to fight the fight. >> you know, doug brings up a point that immigration was a big, big issue for voters. time

and again, they were polled. they said so also, of course the economy a big issue. so when you look at some of these states that are saying they are not going to cooperate with ice and that they're going to push back. is that a smart move? since the the citizens said, look, we want trump in office. we want something done about immigration. >> it is a smart move because we have to have humanity. and when we think about what's happening right now, you have families that are going to be wondering, do they take their child outside to school because ice may roll up on them? let's let's be clear, what the american people said is they wanted someone to address cost of living. and donald trump is actually not doing that. his rhetoric, his language, his actions are actually completely against who we are as a people. and when we think about yesterday, yesterday was the latest reminder that donald trump only cares about donald trump, elon musk and those that are surrounding him. and so we have to ask ourselves, what country do we want? what kind of leadership do we want? and we have people in places who have no business being there. yesterday, sarah, we think about this mlk day. you had individuals who canceled on mlk

celebrations because they wanted to be in overflow rooms in dc. the rooms we need to be in is actually helping our people. and when people actually are focused on that, whether it be new leadership at the dnc or new leadership here, we have to be clear that people are sick and tired of the foolishness that they're seeing, even on day one from donald trump. >> michael blake, thank you so much. i appreciate it. and also to you, doug heye, i appreciate you both coming on early this morning for us. all right. ahead. new college football national champions. they. are crowned the ohio state's late night victory over notre dame, winning them the national title for the first time in a decade. that story is ahead.

relief all day or night. delsym cough. crisis averted. kobe. >> the making of a legend premieres saturday at nine on cnn. >> this morning, the trump administration is already making it clear the u.s. is changing course on its ukraine strategy, with newly confirmed secretary of state marco rubio on tuesday today calling on both sides to, quote, give something to end the conflict. yesterday, ukrainian president zelenskyy described trump's return to the white house as a day of change and hope. the president has said several times that he could end the war between russia and ukraine in a day. cnn's nick paton walsh is live for us in kyiv. when asked about the war yesterday, trump said that vladimir putin is, quote, destroying russia by not making a deal to end the war. now we're hearing from rubio saying that both sides are going to have to give something up. what are you hearing there? >> yeah, i mean, very much as we expected a dive into

diplomacy here. but i have to say, the trump comments we heard from president trump yesterday were starker, were more critical of vladimir putin, a world leader who has often been criticized for seeming quite chummy with. >> he was quite direct in saying that he doesn't know if putin wants to make a deal. he might not. he should make a deal. he's destroying russia. russia is going to be in big trouble. you take a look at their economy and inflation. i get along with him. great. i paraphrase here, and i hope he wants to make a deal. and so a push there, certainly to emphasize the economic damage being done to russia where inflation is edging towards 10% at times, where interest rates are sometimes nearly 20%. to try and keep that indeed down, the economy essentially overheating because of the injection of cash from the war into salaries for soldiers, pay outs for deaths as well. also, trump emphasizing how, quote, putin's grinding it out that this war was supposed to be over in a week. i paraphrase here, is dragging now into its

fourth year, referencing the fact that russia is nearing a million casualties, that's wounded and injured 700,000. according to western officials. so clearly, i think trying to put pressure on the kremlin ahead economically and simply due to the damage being done by this war here as well. and suggesting, too, that ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy, who we'll hear from in about half an hour at the davos economic forum, suggesting that zelenskyy is ready indeed to make a deal. and we've heard zelenskyy suggest that they are willing to come to some kind of accommodation, but also hoping that peace through strength is where donald trump wants to end up. and so i think there were some concerns, certainly, that trump might be softer on russia. his initial first comments remember, he didn't mention ukraine or russia in his inauguration speech, his initial comments there in the white house, quite clearly trying to heap pressure on putin economic as well as a reminder of the damage this war is doing to russia, so, yeah, i mean, we're looking at the pictures of the destruction there in kyiv, and

this war has dragged on for so long with so many people dead and injured. >> we will see what happens with this administration. nick paton walsh, thank you so much for all your reporting there in kyiv. >> kate, joining me right now is democratic congressman from new jersey, josh gottheimer. he sits on the house intelligence and financial services committee. he's also running for governor in the great state of new jersey. it's good to see you. thanks for coming in. you have all of that playing out in terms of what is donald trump going to do in order to bring about what he says is an end to the war and can do it on day one? you have that you also have back here. i wanted to ask you about some of the most startling things that happened yesterday after inauguration, which are the pardons of the january 6th defendants. donald trump is not making any distinction between people convicted of violent offenses linked to that attack, like attacking police officers and people who were convicted of much lesser crimes linked to january 6th sentences of 22 years behind bars seemingly just wiped out in a moment. that's what the power of a president can do. but what do

you think the impact of this move will be? >> i mean, first of all, the whole thing is outrageous, right? >> instead, yesterday of focusing on making life more affordable for families, president trump, his first actions were to focus on pardoning 1500 lawless thugs who attacked our democracy and our capital. i was there, um, the idea that you would pardon people and you're talking about 20 years or more, and others who literally took flagpoles and beat police officers on january 6th. and his first action is to pardon them is outrageous. put aside, of course, what he did, pulling out of the paris accords and other actions that he took yesterday. but the fact symbolically pardoning 1500 lawless thugs to me, i don't understand. and zero talk. about where we can come together to focus on key issues like making life more affordable for families in new

jersey and around the country. >> one of the other issues that was very clear yesterday, throughout the day, was the israeli hostage families were really center stage throughout the inauguration. donald trump's envoy brought hostage families on stage during, you know, the rally afterward, as he was introducing the president at the rally, one of your constituents is one of the hostages still being held by hamas in gaza. we have talked about this many times. what are you hearing about the cease fire deal now? do you trust donald trump to usher it through? >> so i think this agreement was brought on, as you know, with the outgoing and the incoming administration working together. i think very positive steps in the last days with three hostages released. but of course, we have there are still 94 hostages left, including the americans, the seven americans, um, three, we believe are

alive. and the key is to bring them all home immediately, including edan alexander, as you pointed out, who is a 21 year old who is from new jersey, an incredible family, and i was glad to see all the hostage families featured front and center, because we can't lose sight of the ultimate goal here, the goal here, which is to get all of the americans home without any delay, get all the hostages freed. um, as, of course, humanitarian aid surges into the region. and we continue to make sure that the terrorist organizations, including hamas, hezbollah, all the other iranian proxies, like the houthis, don't have the ability to attack our interests, our freedom, our democracy, america, as well as, of course, our critical. >> one second. sorry, congressman. we were just having a problem with your signal. let's continue. i think we're back together. um, another another thing. >> did you hear me? i don't know what you heard. >> i heard you heard me there. i heard 99% of that answer. just not the end of it. which?

which was probably. yeah. we need to get it done. um, you have also got to get it done. you have also been a driving force for quite some time in pushing for the tiktok to be banned in the united states. the president just gave tiktok an extension to find a seller of something like 75 days with this executive order that he signed, but when he signed the executive order last night, he also suggested that he's not concerned about the national security threat so much posed by tiktok, because, as he says, it's largely used by young people. let me play this for you. >> and remember, tiktok is largely about kids, young kids. if china is going to get information about young kids, i don't know. i think i think, to be honest with you, i think we have bigger problems than that. >> carson, what's your reaction to that? >> we know that tiktok is a
