6:02 am
trump's second term begins with new moves on immigration, cities across the country now bracing for the long promised mass deportations and trump's move to end birthright citizenship faces its first legal challenge already. >> the battle of the billionaires to win influence in the new administration is well underway and on full display. some of the world's most powerful tech ceos front and center at inauguration, and a once in a generation storm. the first ever blizzard warning for parts of louisiana and texas. i'm kate baldwin with sara sidner. john berman is out today. this is cnn news central. >> it is the start of a new era. this morning, the trump era part two. moments ago, the white house press secretary promised a, quote, massive announcement on infrastructure. and in just minutes, marco rubio will be sworn in as
6:03 am
secretary of state. the first trump cabinet member to be sworn in. president trump is also expected to sign more executive actions today after signing a tsunami of orders yesterday. they included an immigration crackdown, withdrawal from both the paris climate agreement and the world health organization, and pushing back on tiktok. also, part of his first actions. pardons for more than 1500. january 6th rioters. cnn's jeff zeleny joins us now. what can we expect that is going to be happening today as the president is off to a very, very busy start. >> hey, sara. good morning. there is no doubt executive orders certainly were the rule of the first day of this new trump administration. all of the sweeping executive orders from granting the clemency to the immigration crackdown. now, the government will be reacting to all of that. immigration, of course, is chief among them in terms of how this, how the
6:04 am
orders trickle down and are implemented. however, the act of governing will also start beginning today. the president, we're told, is going to be meeting with republican leaders here at the white house, and they are going to plot a path forward to how to actually get legislation done. that, of course, will be a responsible for any big achievements or big ticket items here. executive actions are important, something he can do. but certainly what this republican congress is able to do or is not able to do will determine the success of this administration. so we're told those meetings will come this afternoon here at the white house, as well as president trump is also at 4:00, we're told is going to make an announcement on infrastructure. now, of course, we have to put this into context. one of the biggest achievements of the biden administration was that bipartisan infrastructure law. and that is going to be implemented for the next several years to come, with projects across the country. so it's unclear exactly what the trump administration can announce in addition to that.
6:05 am
but president trump will be talking about that, as well as a variety of other things. but again, on day two of this new administration, how this administration works with republicans in congress and governs, obviously, that is still an open question. and those meetings begin today here this afternoon, sara, we're certainly seeing a difference in this administration than his first administration. >> we will see what happens later today and throughout the next 100 days. jeff zeleny, thank you so much. appreciate it, kate. >> ice raids are coming. that is the message from president trump, as he has very clearly moved 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. >> and his borders are saying operations begin today out of the gate yesterday, there was maybe no bigger focus for the president than the southern
6:06 am
border declaring a national emergency at the us-mexico border, labeling mexico drug cartels, terrorist organizations and 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 it. i named a few. i did not name all. priscilla, that is for sure. what are you learning this morning? >> well, certainly, kate and even the small moves are the ones that had some of the biggest impact, at least in the initial hours of the trump administration. that move that i'm referring to, there being the closing down of a border app known as cbp one, it was important because it provided migrants a legal pathway to come into the united states and seek asylum. those appointments were scheduled out over days, have been over the last several years under the biden administration. but then suddenly, at the stroke of noon, those appointments were canceled. so that was a small move that had a vast effect along the u.s. southern border. in addition to all of these
6:07 am
executive actions that we're still parsing through some of the details, but all the sources i've spoken with are really stunned by the scale and scope of these executive actions, including, for example, one that suspends refugee admissions for a period of time. remember refugee? the refugee program allows them to come to the united states after a quite cumbersome process that is going to kick off later this month. so taken in totality, it is a dramatic overhaul of u.s. immigration policy. now, looking ahead, we are still waiting to hear more about those interior enforcement actions. tom homan, the border czar had said yesterday that those enforcement actions are expected to start today. now, sources tell me and maintain that they will be looking at the public safety and national security threats. but and this is the but that is different from the biden administration. anyone else that they encounter who is undocumented could also be swept up in those sweeps. now, we're still looking to
6:08 am
see where exactly this happens and how it happens in other ways that are different from how ice has been operating. but certainly multiple democratic led cities who have been receiving migrants over the last several years are on high alert. i spoke with the denver mayor, who has drawn the ire of president trump and tom homan, and he told me that he has been meeting with his city officials to prepare for this, knowing that there just aren't that many details at this moment. but trying to provide some guidelines for those city officials and for the community. so again, we're still waiting to piece together how this mass deportation pledge is going to come together. but i will tell you, kate, that ice has been historically underfunded. they don't have enough resources. so one of the big questions is going to be, how exactly will tom homan shore that up to try to execute on these promises? and in the interim, work with what he's got to start detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants? kate. >> and you and you raised something that is very important because while maybe the focus and the shift in the priority level, if you will,
6:09 am
has shifted the amount of funding that ice has right now has not shifted. so that is something to watch. thank you so much, sara. >> all right. joining us now, cnn political commentators maria cardona and scott jennings. maria, first to you. you know, trump, as you saw, signed this slew of executive orders on immigration, including shutting down the app that allows migrants to legally apply for asylum. he also signed an order to end birthright citizenship, something that the supreme court upheld in part of the 14th amendment's constitutional right. when you see these many different orders, what does it tell you about where he is going with this and how severe this is going to be? >> i think it's going to be incredibly severe, sara. but it shouldn't surprise us because he's been talking about this for a very long time. but the bottom line here is, is that none of this is going to actually fix the problem. and the challenge of immigration that we face in our country.
6:10 am
and all of it is focused on cruelty, on division, on separating families, and on inflicting as much pain as possible in communities across the country. and what you're seeing today is so many communities are in distress. >> many families are panicking. many families, as you know, live in mixed status situations. >> and so there is going to be many, many people who are going to get caught up in this dragnet of cruelty, when in fact, this is going to do absolutely nothing to fix the problem. >> it's going to create so much more chaos. it's going to create so much more confusion. and you know what? priscilla was talking about this app that the biden administration had put in place was actually geared toward fixing the problem of that chaos that we had seen on the border. and it was working
6:11 am
the what we have right now on the southern border in terms of illegal crossings, the numbers are lower than they were when trump left office the first time. so if trump really wanted to fix this problem, he would work with democrats on a bipartisan solution, which we know is exactly what is needed. but when you have people around him like stephen miller, which we know is focused on getting rid of, i think, frankly, every immigrant in this country and shutting down immigration, period, that is not the way to fix such a big problem that we are facing. >> scott, do you think to to maria's point there, do you think that this is a move to try and stop all immigration at some point, especially since the birthright, you know, executive order was was put in place? day, day one. >> no, i don't. >> in fact, donald trump has said we're going to have a legal immigration system. and that's really the issue here. >> is is it going to be legal immigration where we know who
6:12 am
people are, where they're coming from, why they're coming here? are they of a benefit to our country, or are we going to continue to have the chaos of the last several years, where millions upon millions upon millions of people just flow across the border? and i heard maria say, this is about inflicting pain. and i strongly disagree with that. i think a lot of pain has already been inflicted on our country. i'm sure laken riley family would say they're in enormous anguish still to this day because of what happened to their daughter when she was violently murdered by an illegal immigrant. there is pain felt in cities all over america. talk to any local official they're trying to deal with these illegal immigrant populations in new york and chicago and many other cities. there's a lot of pain that's already been inflicted. the point is this we have to have a legal immigration system, and it has to benefit the united states. the current system is of no benefit to the united states in the way that it has been administered over the last four years. and one final political point. the american people voted for donald trump to get this chaos
6:13 am
under control. and the new york times polling this weekend, it was not controversial. people want deportations of people who were here, especially if they are violent criminals. >> scott, you speak to something the american people did put donald trump in office, and immigration was one of the top two issues, as well as the economy. but you mentioned pain. both of you did. and there is a lot of pain being felt by the 140 police officers who were attacked during the january 6th attack on the capitol. when it comes to law and order, donald trump has spoken about it many times. republicans have always said that they are the party of law and order. how can that be? now, after seeing that all of those who took part in that attack, those who were violent as well, or have been pardoned by donald trump or their sentences commuted. first to you, scott. >> well, first of all, i don't particularly care for what happened on january the 6th. i didn't like it the day that it happened. i don't like it today. i think it was a terrible day. i don't think the people who participated in it should have done that, and it should never happen again.
6:14 am
that's number one. number two, the people who did participate in it, by and large, all face some kind of punishment. great. many hundreds, thousands went to jail. some have already been in jail and completed their sentence. most were financially ruined. their lives have been ruined. they paid a severe price. it's donald trump's position that they paid enough. and that's his prerogative as the president. i don't like the idea that people who assaulted police officers are getting any kind of leniency, because i think that is a special kind of crime. i'm a strong defender of police officers, and i do take the term law and order and back the blue very seriously, but there's no political benefit for trump to do this. this isn't a particularly popular thing to do. however, i would point out he did campaign on it. he made it perfectly clear what he intended to do, and he followed through on it. i do think and hope that this now will put this behind us, that this is over. the american people have adjudicated this in the election as a political matter, and hopefully it never, ever happens again in this country. >> maria, your sentiments on
6:15 am
this. you know, with the same police officers, some of them are having to protect the capital to this day, as this administration comes in. >> yeah, it's heartbreaking. and i think that the republican party and donald trump in particular have completely lost their credibility when they talk about law and order because of these pardons. and you've had the police officers who suffered that day, and we have the families who lost police officers who are saying that this is a massive betrayal by their country of what they went through. and this is not popular. scott is right. this is absolutely not popular. we saw some polling that said the american people do not believe that this should happen. and i think from a political standpoint, it is a big loser for the republican party. but i do want to go back to i do want to go back to deportation for a second, because while the american people do want this fixed, when you talk about mass deportations and they realize who is going to be caught in this dragnet of cruelty, which are the dreamers, business
6:16 am
owners, first responders, teachers, the people in our community, community leaders, the people who are injecting trillions of dollars into our economy, long standing families who have roots in our communities, the american people absolutely reject that. and that is something that we need to figure out. so again, if donald trump and republicans were really focused on a solution, this is not it. which is why i believe at the end of the day, the cruelty and the pain and the division is what trump is after, because that is what his base wants. and instead of being a real leader and focused on solutions with democrats, that's not true. maria focused on giving maga supporters what they want. >> maria, that is not true. i voted for donald trump and i don't want cruelty and division. i want law and order, and i want an immigration system that works for the united states. >> and donald trump is scott donald. >> donald trump is not interested in deporting people who are here legally legal. you know, people who have followed all the rules they are
6:17 am
interested in, primarily right out of the gate, two populations, violent criminals and people who have existing adjudicated deportation orders. that's millions of people. and i refuse to accept the farcical argument that the u.s. economy, that the u.s. economy is underpinned by rapists, murderers and people who are awaiting deportation. it's just not true. >> scott jennings, maria cardona is a broad brushstroke that is unfair. so we're going to end it here. thank you to both of you. all right. ahead. not included in the president's series of executive actions so far. those long promised tariffs, however, when we might see them, it will be faster than you may think and how that might impact the economy. we will discuss that. and for the first time ever, parts of louisiana facing a blizzard warning. we're tracking another round of extreme weather and rare, rare weather there in the south. >> cnn news central, brought to

wegovy with wegovy i lost 35 pounds and some lost over 46 pounds. >> and i'm keeping the weight off. >> i'm reducing my risk. >> wegovy is the only weight management medicine proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack or stroke in adults with known heart disease and obesity. >> don't use wegovy with semaglutide or glp one medicines, or in children under 12. >> don't take if you or your family had mtc me in two or if allergic to it, tell your provider if you plan to have surgery or a procedure, are breastfeeding, pregnant, or plan to be. stop taking and get medical help right away. if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or any of these allergic reactions serious side effects may includncreas inflammation and gallbladder problems. call your prescriber if you have any of these symptoms. wegovy may cause low blood sugar in people with diabetes, especially if you take medicines to treat diabetes. call your prescriber about vision changes. if you feel your heart racing while at rest, or if you have mental

6:22 am
>> my brother was saying he got life insurance from ethos, and he got $2 million in coverage. >> all online. life insurance made easy. check your price today at ethos comm. >> this morning, people in south texas are waking up to their first ever blizzard warning. roughly 40 million people across the south are under winter weather alerts. frigid temps, potentially historic snowfall in cities. let's be honest, not used to harsh winter weather. the governors of five southern states have already declared states of emergency. the national weather service is describing it as a generational winter storm event. that sounds ominous. cnn's ed lavandera is in the middle of it without a hat, but still in the middle of it. eddie, what's happening? >> yeah, we're tough out here. we have a legit snow event happening here in houston, texas. you can make snowballs. you can make snowmen. and i think people are in for a pretty good day. but so far, uh, you know, obviously, this a
6:23 am
storm like this, a winter storm like this in this part of the world that is used to hurricanes. not these kinds of events is going to cause some problems. airports are shut down, schools are shut down. and that's going to, you know, a great deal of concern about the roadways. just to give you a sense of how unprepared places like this generally are for these types of storms, the state of texas is having to bring in snow plows into the houston area. and these areas that are affected by these storms. that's not the kind of equipment that a lot of these cities just have sitting around on hand. it's usually not needed. so the great concern right now for city officials here in houston is urging people to stay off the roadways. >> all right, eddie, thank you. thank you so much. we have to break away really quick. ed lavandera in texas. we need to break away. we're watching. looks like now we can call him secretary of state. marco rubio just getting sworn in. let's listen in for a second. >> thank you, mr. vice president, for making time. >> it's been a busy 72 hours.
6:24 am
and maybe longer, but 96 hours, i guess. but first, i want to thank janette, my wife, who has been so supportive. as the vice president knows. well, it's impossible to do any of these jobs we do here, including the senate. but now in this new role, without the support of our family and particularly of our spouses. and so thank you for being supportive every step of the way. i would not stand here before you today without that. i'm also thrilled and grateful that all four of my children are here. they're the most important legacy any of us will leave behind. the most important job i'll ever have is that of a father and a husband. and i'm honored that they are able to join us. amanda, my oldest, daniela, my second. anthony our third. and then dominic. i'm very happy that they're able to see this today. i also want to thank my colleague, senator risch and miss risch for joining us. he did a great job managing the committee which brought us here to this point. but he's also been one of my closest friends in my time in the u.s. senate. in fact, we by reason of
6:25 am
chance, certainly not by design. we wound up basically being first and second behind one another on seniority in every committee. so we even sat next to each other on the floor. so people thought it was a plot. it was not by design. and. >> all right. we've been listening in now. secretary of state marco rubio, in his first comments in the role, he is a huge, huge task ahead of him for the administration getting sworn in, as you see, by the vice president, jd vance marco rubio. just as a note, he won unanimous support in the senate to win this win. confirmation 99 to 0. and he begins his job today as america's chief diplomat. going to keep an eye on that. they're also keeping an eye on the opening bell minutes away from the opening bell. we're watching closely to see how investors are reacting to the new trump term. we're going to bring that to you and donald trump's return to the white house is already making waves around the globe as well. with the second trump presidency means for, among many other things, is the israel-hamas ceasefire deal and

6:30 am
plus an additional 15% with code lumen tv. >> this morning, the first member of donald trump's cabinet was just sworn in. now secretary of state marco rubio taking the oath with his wife at his side. and the oath administered by vice president jd vance, now one of rubio's first tasks as america's now chief diplomat is bringing to an end russia's war on ukraine, a conflict just one month away from entering its third year. this morning, rubio was asked about how he will approach negotiations to end that war. >> as the president said when he was campaigning, he wants the dying to stop. he wants the destruction to stop. i think that's in everyone's interest now. will that be easy? will it be complicated? of course, because every side is going to have to give something. >> joining me right now, democratic congressman from california, where he sits on the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, thanks for coming in. so the secretary of state there with that
6:31 am
comment and reaction and take making clear that u.s. strategy towards ukraine is changing course when in calling on both sides to give something to end the conflict. maybe not a surprise that marco rubio is saying that in his new role, because that has been the position of donald trump coming in. but what is your reaction to that? what do you think this means for the war well, kate, thanks for having me on. >> i do think it means that the trump administration will make a concerted effort to get all sides to the table. you know, i think you'll find democratic foreign policy folks like myself willing to participate in that negotiation and see what happens. you know, the contours of a deal would have to guarantee some ukrainian security. >> obviously, the territories that russia occupy right now, they'll have to be some resolution there. >> but i do think there is that possibility of a negotiated ceasefire end to this conflict.
6:32 am
>> the other major crisis squarely in squarely front and center for the president on day one is the hostage ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. the president was asked in the oval office last night how confident he is that he can keep the cease fire in place and conclude the three phases of the hostage deal. i want to play for everyone. how president trump responded. >> i'm not governor. that's not our war. it's their war. but i'm not confident. but i think they're very weakened on the other side so he was not that confident. >> that's a different message in a very different tone in my interpretation from what he said just last month, saying all hell would break loose if all the hostages weren't released before he took office. what do you take from that? >> yeah. >> so the middle east is going to be a lot more complicated. you know, certainly. >> i'm glad to see some of the hostages being freed and returning home. >> i think we can get through this first phase, the first six
6:33 am
weeks. >> but longer term, you know what happens in gaza. >> hamas still is in place. you know, can netanyahu, prime minister netanyahu, continue to stay in power with his coalition, saying that if hamas is there, they're not going to support him? so this is going to be incredibly complicated. and then you've got syria on the other side. you know, can you get the saudis to the table, the emiratis and so forth. so, you know, again, we're willing to work with secretary rubio, president trump, to try to figure out what long term peace and stability in the middle east looks like. but i think this is going to be a much more complicated negotiation. >> yeah. >> and, congressman, in conversations we've had in the past, you've always talked about being a proud son of immigrants. i just think i want to get your take on what you hear in what has been a major move, really, the central focus of his executive orders so far was moves on cracking down on immigration and specifically president trump's move toward ending birthright citizenship. what do you see in all
6:34 am
of this? >> yeah. so i think the ending of birthright citizenship is going to be a tough one for him to accomplish. i think we will fight him on it. and obviously, you've seen the legal process take place. it is not easy to change the constitution, and that's going to require congressional cooperation. on the other hand, if he targets folks with criminal histories, folks with existing deportation orders, you know, i think it'd be hard for us to to push back as democrats. so if he's focused there, you know, i think you will see less pushback if he starts to do workplace raids, if he starts to go after dreamers. um, you know, i think that's going to be a bit of a problem. i also do worry, you know, that the 1600 or so afghan refugees, some of these children with their families here in the united states, um, rescinding those orders, these were already approved. so i do worry about that. that component of it. >> what i hear in our
6:35 am
conversation here, and i think people should pick up on, is you're talking about a willingness to work together or push back less if to say another way, because that it it is a big question of what how do democrats approach not just majorities, the republican majorities in congress, but approach the second trump term? you said earlier this month, let's meet at the 50 yard line. i'd even say, since they're in, the majority. we'll go 40 yard line. what does that mean? i'll ask specifically where you think you can all come together. >> so, um, we could do something on the border. again, the folks that are coming to the border are different than a decade or two decades ago. i've gone down and talked to border agents. two decades ago, it was folks coming up from mexico working, going back and forth. now, you really do see asylum seekers from all over the world. um, i'm empathetic to them because they're seeking a better life, but that is different than what we saw two
6:36 am
decades ago. maybe there is a border deal to be had. um, you know, we talked about russia. you know, 2025 is different than 2017. we all know who president trump is. i lived through that first term. the public has said they want us to do stuff. but again, don't take us to the end zone. take us to the 40 yard line and we can negotiate and try to get some stuff done. >> congressman ami bera, always good to have you. thank you so much for coming in, sara. all right. >> thank you kate. ahead, trump heads to the national cathedral for the traditional prayer service. what may unfold while he visits the episcopal church, whose views are at odds with trump's immigration doctrine. that story, and much more ahead. >> i'm doctor sanjay gupta in atlanta, and this is cnn mornings. >> cough congestion. >> i'm feeling better all in one and done with mucinex kickstart. >> headache. better now. >> mucinex kickstart gives all in one and done relief with a

6:41 am
not one, but five signs of aging with visible results in just one week. neutrogena. >> so first up this morning for president trump on his first full day back in the white house, attending the national prayer service at the washington national cathedral. attending the service just after inauguration is a tradition dating back to 1933. the national cathedral says this interfaith service will be a place to gather to seek healing, unity and wisdom in the months to come. you can be sure we all could use more of that. joining us right now is father edward beck, the campus minister at manhattan university. a long time friend. thank you so much for being here. great being here. we were just talking. there was a lot of prayer yesterday throughout all of the events. how will it be different today from what we heard in all of the prayer and that we heard yesterday? >> well, in my opinion, a lot of the prayer yesterday was kind
6:42 am
of partisan screed, and it wasn't prayer at all. it was histrionic performance, with the exception of cardinal dolan, who i thought began very well and also graciously mentioned president biden. i think the others just were all about lifting up what president trump has done and will do, and telling god what to do. and i didn't think it was prayer at all. i think what we're going to see today, as you mentioned, will be very different at the national cathedral. >> and what do you different in how in tone and tenor, in message? >> well, i've read through the prayers. it's an interfaith service. so all faiths are going to be represented. interestingly, though, there's not a roman catholic representative, which i mean something. >> what do you think? >> i don't know, other than the current archbishop, cardinal wilton gregory has not been in accord with donald trump on many issues. we know the incoming cardinal, archbishop robert mcelroy, has
6:43 am
spoken vociferously against many trump policies, especially immigration. it's just interesting to me that they weren't there yesterday and they're not there today. they're the roman catholic leaders of the archdiocese of washington. >> having said that, the prayers today, which i have read through are about caring for refugees, they're about breaking down walls. >> they're having compassion for people. there's a rabbi who's going to read the segment from deuteronomy that says, you, israel, were strangers in a foreign land. so you must now welcome strangers as god has welcomed you and as you have been welcomed. i wonder how president trump and some of the administration sitting, listening to those prayers and those readings will feel when they seem in direct opposition to some of his policies. >> that will be very interesting to see, to see this morning, and we'll all see it together. i believe it begins
6:44 am
at around 11:00 this morning. president trump talked about god yesterday during his inaugural inaugural address about god saving him. i want to play that for you and for everyone. listen to this, please. >> just a few months ago, in a beautiful pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. but i felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. i was saved by god to make america great again. >> what do you make of of that message in that moment? >> well, i think the theology is problematic. so did god not save mlk jr.? i mean, a prophet who is speaking about a vision for the country that we still revere to this day. why was he killed and why was this president saved? so does god have favorites? is god partisan? what makes you think
6:45 am
that that was god's intervention? other than hubris, which is condemned in the scripture and it lacks humility. and so it's not my theology. it's not the theology of the judeo-christian tradition, that we have a kind of god who picks and chooses who he will save. >> i think there's all a lot that we should all be listening to. come this service at 11 a.m., the national prayer service. it's good to see you as always. great to see you. thank you so much, sara. >> father beck always brings the calm to the studio. >> i have to say, it's one of the few moments i actually feel calm. ever. >> i'm in agreeance. you can come back, sir. >> no, we need to just leave the vibes to stay. yes, please. >> forever. all right. ahead. there was nearly $1 trillion in the room as president trump was sworn into office. we'll take a look at the role tech billionaires may play in the new administration that is coming up with brian stelter. >> kobe, the making of a legend

dollars a year on things you don't need. take control of your money. download rocket money today. >> the lead with jake tapper today at four on cnn. >> trump took office surrounded by the richest people in the world. billionaire tech executives that has democrats on the attack. connecticut democratic senator chris murphy said this. what you are watching is the construction of an oligarchy, where a handful of crazy, rich, self-interested billionaires work with an elected leader to grab power so that the government works to enrich the small cabal of wealthy insiders and no one else. and what makes this particular oligarchy so worrying is that the companies that are folding into the trump administration are the tech and media companies, the very
6:51 am
institutions that control the flow of information. joining me now, cnn chief media analyst brian stelter is with us this morning. what message do you see this sending? there are only a few seats that weren't for congress members because it was inside. and here you see bezos, zuckerberg, elon musk standing there at the inauguration. >> this was the inauguration of the oligarchs. >> it was a turning point in american history to have these men, these tech ceos, all almost front and center with trump, and not just at the ceremony. >> we're also showing scenes from the weekend at some of these parties, some of these galas where mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos and others were hanging out talking shop. we know elon musk is the tech ceo closest to trump personally, but these other moguls are trying to make sure they are cozy, cozying up to the incoming president as well. and i think we should take stock of this and say, why are these men so rich? why do they have so much power? it's kind of because of us. we're the users. we're the ones using their platforms. we're the ones buying ads and products on their platforms. so that is where the power comes from. but
6:52 am
now, now that trump is in office, the question becomes, what's he going to want from these ceos? and what are they going to want from him? what are the transactions going to be? >> do you see this as the potential for pay to play where trump can pressure them, and they can help him out with other things, i.e. the messaging? >> 100%. we have to see what they do. meta and google right now are being sued by the u.s. government for violating antitrust laws. for example, mark zuckerberg would like this is one of those cases to go away. meta has lots of other business before the government, and so does google, and so does other companies, especially in the realm of a.i., where all of them are investing heavily into a.i. i'm also really curious to see if we get to a point where trump tries to pressure these companies to quash dissent. i can't get that word out of welsh descent. you know, right now trump is promising to end censorship. that's one of executive orders. no more censorship by the government. but let's imagine that there are controversies that arise in the coming days, weeks and months, maybe about immigration. is trump going to want these platforms to quiet some of the critics, to quell
6:53 am
dissent, to stop protests? you know, the thing about these platforms, they're so powerful, they shape what we think and what we do. they can also shape what we don't do. i've already seen columnists warning and worrying that maybe it's going to be harder to organize protests if these apps don't make it so easy. but again, these are all questions right now. we don't have answers. one more big question what will trump do about tiktok? right. the clock is ticking again. 74 days until tiktok might be banned again. >> yeah, let's talk about tiktok real quickly. how unusual is it? we saw this app come back online after donald trump says he's going to give it a stay, if you will. right. and the app came back online and they said, look, thank you to donald trump. >> thank you. yes. >> how unusual is that? and what does this mean. >> what does exactly what it looked like they were trying to give the president a pr win and tiktok did. it was successful. now this is a negotiation between two men, the president of china and the president of the united states. what will trump and xi do over tiktok? that becomes the question will trump bring in musk or one of his other tech mogul allies and
6:54 am
try to strike a joint venture for tiktok? i thought it was notable that last night, trump did not guarantee that tiktok will stay online once this springtime deadline comes. he says he's going to try to make a deal, but he's going to need help from others to do that. >> we saw some interesting reactions. we saw hillary clinton sort of lean her head back and laugh when donald trump started talking about things like changing the name of the gulf of mexico to the gulf of. >> this was a viral video moment. >> yeah, it was a viral video moment. when you saw that and heard that from donald trump. is this simply one of those distractions that gets everybody talking but doesn't go anywhere? or how do you see this playing out? >> i think if he actually is trying to expand american land and try to be more of a conqueror, it's not a distraction. but for the moment, that order to rename the gulf is a distraction. it's ultimately up to what apple and google and these tech companies do, right? if they change the name, if they change the name in the map app that we all use, then maybe it will be more real. until then, it's his announcement and we'll see how
6:55 am
real it becomes. by the way, we asked apple. we asked google, are you going to change the name of the gulf of mexico in your apps? and so far they haven't responded. >> when you look at this, what does donald trump stand to gain? what do these tech billionaires stand to gain as they're sort of maneuvering? and they have been doing this since before he became president. they've been going to mar a lago and and assuming stating their case. and they are businesses and the trump administration. and you hear this from people in the circle saying, look, this he was just highlighting american ingenuity. he was highlighting, you know, great business in this country. >> and there is a lot more to do. but consider how much these companies have grown in the last few years, both in the trump and biden eras. meta. google. these are the biggest companies in the world. mark zuckerberg, for example. the reason he is a billionaire so many times over is because the meta stock price has been on a tear, and it's up again this morning, probably because of the vibes that are coming out of the trump inauguration. but will those vibes remain right? will that continue? will these stocks stay so high? will these companies remain as powerful? maybe they think that with the white house's support, they can. >> yeah, they're called the
6:56 am
magnificent seven. they are. >> and they're pretty magnificent right now. >> they've lifted the entire stock market up over last year. brian stelter. it is always a pleasure. thank you. good to see you for coming on. see you. >> and thank you all so much for joining us today. this is twinsies. twinsies forever. thank you. this is cnn news central. cnn newsroom up next. >> i lay on my back is 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. you'll be back. >> emus can't help people customize and save with liberty mutual. >> and, doug. >> well. i'll be. >> only pay for what you need. >> liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty and are you ready for this? >> are you ready for this new
