but everybody else's, supreme court chief justice john roberts conducted the oath of office, president trump is the first president to return to the white house for a nonconsecutive term since the reelection of president grover cleveland that was way back in 1892, trump worked to set and should strike a positive tone in the inaugural address from the outset. listen. >> the golden age of america begins right now. [cheering] from this day forward our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world we will be the envy of every nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer, during every single day of the trump administration i will very simply put america first.

[cheering] >> after attending the ceremony, president biden and his wife jill made a final farewell in front of the nation's capital. president biden inherited a nation in the grips of the covid epidemic, huge unemployment r rate, left after deciding not to run for a second term in office after actually launching a campaign, historians will be left to judges legacy as a one term president were unemployment did come way back down and under his term he was able to bring inflation certainly off the highs of 2022. president trump is expected to depart the capital in this hour, here's was going to happen he will motorcade to capital one arena 20000 that's how many seats he will make remarks and sighed and this is important to market movements, the first up to 100 executive orders, nobody knows which ones but edward lawrence joins us live from the

reinstating his remaining mexico policy designated cartels, foreign terrorist organization, the president declaring a national energy emergency, that allows the administration to start opening up areas restricted by the biden administration for oil and natural gas leases he adds it will unleash american energy as well as indeed electric vehicle mandate giving people a choice on what car they want to buy, the president focused on the academy with many of these executive orders. >> i will direct all members of my cabinet to marshal the vast powers of their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down cost and prices. >> you heard there, all of his agencies have a mandate to look at prices and find a way to reduce cost for the american people, it's much like the mandate that president biden gave to his cabinet or his agencies if they were to look input environment first,

president trump is now saying you need to look at putting lowering costs first. >> thank you very much we're going to follow all the president trump's movements in this hour, later we will be joined by former white house deputy chief of staff under president george w. bush, karl rove is here to tell us what he hopes to see from president trump second term in office and what the nation needs to see. look for some of the executive orders, impact stocks in treasuries, when the markets by the way as we mentioned are closed today for mlk junior, reopen tomorrow morning, let's dive into what is trading today, checkup it going, bitcoin hit an all-time high this morning of $109,000 ahead of the inauguration of the first self-described crypto president donald j trump who spent much of his campaign with the legitimacy of crypto currency, right now it pulled off the high at about

$103,422 per bitcoin, energy markets, do donald trump has tad about drill baby drill they closed at 1:00 p.m. on this holiday, west texas intermediate crude stanza $76.89 per barrel, that is actually a drop of 4% from last wednesday's level when prices jumped above $82 a barrel for a five-month high after the u.s. announced new sanctions against russia, today's pullback could be due to what donald trump said during his inauguration speech, he called for a national energy emergency and said we will drill baby drill, you've got to figure more supply the price goes down, price down today by wanted a quarter percent, foreign exchange markets are trading, the dollar which showed real muscle over the past couple weeks begin to atrophy a little bit during president trump speech and that continues right now all the foreign currencies are in the green against the u.s. dollar, particularly the

euro. the euro is at $1.4 a gained more than 4 cents. since september spiked 8% against the euro and it might be inching lower as in a list believe u.s. terrified the donald trump may implement could trigger sentiment shift what is causing the shift from euphoria post election day in the stock market for where the broader market is today, since november 6, the s&p has seen a big piece of the trump gain sliced away. is still positive by about 3.7% mic and that correctly, 3.7% but it was not much more since november 6. a full put over to the dow jones industrial on the nasdaq, you see the big bout right around november. and then it pulls back. same with the dow jones industrial, as i said in the nasdaq. the day after the election we really should look at the russell 2000 small and mid-cap, they soared close to 6% the best

move in two years, late november the index started to fall closer to earth as reality set in, president trump said his reality will be one of pro-growth policies and tax cuts, however, its unknown trade policies have investors questioning whether they will impact everything from big tech to industrial, materials and quite frankly any company that imports goods for foreign countries, anything for materials or even labor, longtime new york stock exchange trader kenny polcari and raymond james analyst ed mills will get to keep the video up inner screen of all this going on in washington, d.c., donald trump is already taken the first steps of his grand agenda staircase by prepping around 200 executive actions that are to be signed today which executive actions and orders have you most interested in when it comes to market impact? >> is absolutely what's happening on trade. i think the market will open higher tomorrow will we don't

get an executive order that puts day one tariffs in place but sets out a potential path for increasing tariffs and what were seen in some of the press report as it could be an investigation into some of the sectors that are national security focused and that is an absolute continuation of what donald trump did in term one and what joe biden continued over the last four years that would be well received from the market. if i want to see two other things it's what happens with immigration and energy, those have a lot of questions in terms of what we do with inflation and growth in the united states over the next four years. >> coming to the conversation the market has gone from rally to reality but we showed everybody the charge from november 6 until today, that said there is no doubt the president trump has been very focused on pro-growth policy and investors are really hopeful about that as we know hope is not an investing strategy, what

is? >> to ed's point you have to see what he does with these executive orders in where he's going to focus on. i don't think is going to come out and lay tariffs on everybody at all, you and i discussed it and i think it's much more in negotiating tactic than not but i suspect were going to see movement and energy in a think that's good for the overall pressure on inflation, lower prices will benefit us across the board, i'm looking forward to that. i'm also looking forward to seeing how these policies, the pro-growth policies and the tax plan that he's been talking about and how the unfolds. we will not know that in the next two days or the next week or the next two weeks. we will know that over the next quarter, three or four months to see how it unfolds to see whether or not this will come true. i think it is mostly exciting, do i think the market will open higher tomorrow, i think it will

open a little bit higher, were in the morning of earnings season when it started off gray allotted industries reporting this week and next week and the week after so we will get a broader view of what's really happening across these industries in the academy. liz: to kenny's point, energy prices come down, that is great for american consumers and people who drive, do you avoid the energy sector, do you avoid oil stocks in the integrated oil names. >> i don't think so, we had a lot of conversation with her energy team, management team and what are the things that we hear from them is capital discipline, they're not going to drill for the sake of drilling they want to return shareholder capital and diligent but to remove the threat of the external shock to completely shut off different oil markets or big spikes in oil prices and that would be welcome by this market.

>> we saw kenny with a broad tech rally where does it go its front and center at the inauguration they were the billionaire guys elon musk and they flip sides, let's go there, tech is always going to be the focus whether this year, next year the year after, it's going to continue to change the world i don't think you have to chase tech. i would caution investors to don't jump in like it's going to be the bottom and never correct incumbent it is that doesn't mean you need to avoid or be methodical has to be a part of and be a part of the world as we

go forward be methodical about it great to see you both, wonderful to have you on this historic day, this is where it doesn't stop because of holidays and inauguration, big news from the teamsters union which you may recall took on amazon during the peak holiday shipping season, now the teamsters have another major retailer in their site, we will tell you who is headed for the picket line and in front of which company in just a moment. later a claimant can't nonexclusive, president trump may be surprised to find the senators from his own party who met yesterday to solidify their shutdown tiktok stance, i got the exclusive details on what happened at a d.c. brunch yesterday and he react one of the most popular influencers on tiktok, kat stickler depends on tiktok for her living, she joins us in moments.

team, you gotta love this video hugging and seeing each other once again both abiding in trump's teams worked as one to secure the deal and the hostage release, meanwhile on the other end 90 palestinians admitting arrested or convicted of murder were planning suicide attacks were released into the west bank in exchange for the three israeli hostages. peace in the middle east and around the world remains fragile or out of reach conflict between russia and ukraine, that war is waiting on, north korea has sent 10000 troops to help the russians, then you have the threat of china encroaching on taiwan is a new commander-in-chief takes his position let's get to the defense investor expert, joining us horowitz partner and co-willey of the diamond is upon which the startup is a fox business exclusive, great to have you, president trump has stressed he wants to end wars,

what does that mean for someone like you who invest in defense companies in the u.s. >> absolutely the american people voted to have the end of wars, that something as a mandate on. what it means is investing in production. what i loved hearing in his address is the focusing of manufacturing an economic and in technology and invest in production and particularly things that deter violent and deter any action on the u.s. military. i was very hopeful that it was an optimistic address particularly how he talked about defense in investing in manufacturing and i think were going to see that. that is certainly what he's been very hopeful and honest and we see the on day one today. liz: taking the lead in making sure we have the lead we retain the lead and part of that is all that we've done when it comes to space i thought it was interesting when president trump during his inaugural speech, he specifically said i want to see

the american flag planted on mars first and there was actually a cutaway at that point of elon musk and maybe we could show the video and just a second but it was interesting, he made that point and you see elon musk with a broad smile on his face, i don't know how jeff bezos was in the audience that got competing rocketship companies, what does that say to you? >> president trump made a conservative effort to speak to big tech, he talked about splitting the atom in the incredible pioneering innovators that live in america that have built america and he talked about all of human information being on our phones and as you said he made the call out that we want to put the emergent log on mars and you can see elon musk cheering and he could tell his enthusiasm by those statements, what that means this is an administration that is embracing technology, you see the ceos of the largest tech companies in america sitting with the cabinet and at church with him that was the biggest

surprise seeing the ceos at church, this is an administration that wants to embrace technology and embrace the tech community despite all the bad blood that some of the ceos and president trump might've had in the first administration. it was a hopeful address in terms of how we talked about technology in space is a huge part of that allows americans to dream again and have multiple callouts in the address, we will see more policy that is really favorable to companies that want to build for space. liz: we have some video of the exact moment where he brought up planting the american flag. as he mentioned, you saw elon musk given the thumbs up in the big broad smile, howard lutnick behind him. i guess when you look at that that is fine and great but donald trump also said he wants to cut government spending across the board. when you think of entitlement programs, social security medicare and medicaid nobody really wants to touch that, what is left, defense.

>> i think there will be major changes across the board we've yet to see what doge will make recommendations on. one of the things people aren't focusing on when they think about cutting and cutting doge, these are leaders who also understand you have to change the culture and changing the culture is just as important as changing spending and regulation. what i think we will see, is also recommendation about changing policies around personnel, we saw that when pete hegseth was in his confirmation hearing talking about the need to change a culture at the dod, the need to acquire new technology that can serve the war fighter, that was something that was very important that he said in his confirmation hearing. liz: speaking of that you were an investor and it's a big drunk uppity that made a huge announcement about building a plant in ohio it is been one of the big winners i would imagine this is a factory that will employ 4000 workers, what does

this do for the belief that america is taking a leadership role in the technology, drone technology which is quite frankly helped ukraine take the lead against the war in russia. >> investors are putting their money where their mouth is, will we talk about production, that is a perfect example of building a massive facility that will employ 4000 americans in ohio working on defense technology to ensure that the best technology is in the hands of the war fighter as soon as possible. i think you're going to see more and more examples of that of companies that are not just building prototypes and not the legacy companies that are 100 years old but the young companies that are re-industrializing america through defense through manufacturing i loved hearing president trump call it out he talked about the importance of reading industrialization and manufacturing in america in his address and i think you will see investors and companies say we need to invest more and particularly in places like ohio where we have extraordinary manufacturing talent that can

get the job done very quickly. liz: a good motivated workforce in the state of ohio and that will be fascinating to watch, please come back, thank you so much. president trump famously disliked tiktok before he said it helped him get elected, now the social media app is banned across the nation new downloads of it putting many small businesses in a bit of a bind top influencer cat stickler on your screen makes a living posting your videos in doing the tieups with the top brands, she's here live to tell us what she plans to do if tiktok cannot resolve its legal issues. it's a fox business exclusive. were waiting for president trump to finish lunch at the capital before he makes his way right there on your screen the capital one arena for all the festivities were 7500 different marching bands and groups are expected to perform inside due

hosted by frank mccord junior and kevin o'leary the two businessmen have considered what is the only viable offer to buy tiktok's u.s. arm the source he was at the event told me if i dance wasn't willing to sell the app republican senators want tiktok shut down, senator from south carolina lindsey graham is set to take the first crack against chinese owned companies in the u.s. following tiktok span, senator graham said at the meeting and later posted on x that he will introduce legislation that prevents any chinese owned company but has a chinese golden share, one of the company shareholders is chinese president xi from being listed on any american exchange, he does not mean that president xi owns a share but china can swoop in and control what the company does, senator graham said he will remove any existing chinese company that has a so-called golden share structure from

all-american stock exchanges. my sources tell me that bill is coming out possibly as early as tomorrow but tiktok trouble is here, the app is currently unavailable for download in the google play store and apple's app store, apple staying in a statement that the company is obligated to follow the law of where it operates in tiktok will no longer be available for download, this is a huge blow for people who related on tiktok as a major source of revenue like tiktok influencer cat stickler who is 10.4 million followers on the app, she joins me in a fox business exclusive. great to have you here, we want to let you know the were getting a live presentation, steve scalise and hakeem jeff jeffries are presenting the flag to donald trump nj deviance this is the flag that flew over the capital. as we watched out of it can i

bring an cat to talk about this, you are there, what if you notice if anything since tiktok became unavailable in the app stores. >> it wasn't really for that long and i know it was a big drama but it definitely scared everyone it was everything bite and said i did not realize how heavily i rely on that for my creative work in what i put into that what you relied upon your creative work during the pandemic just talking about your life in your world in florida, use them 19 different brand deals with huge names. i've been so impressed by all that you've done it's really just you and your personality and that really means a lot to you, in the end we have a law

that is in place at the moment. what is your plan? >> thank you first off, that means a lot coming from you is a huge part of my life and my revenue and i am a single mom it allows me to provide an income for my daughter and i but he gives me a lifestyle where i can afford to work from home which most jobs obviously don't allow. i think i would rely heavily on instagram, i have no idea, tiktok got me where i am i'm here where i am because of tiktok. i actually don't know. >> give a much smaller following on instagram 2.6 million followers, the difference is pretty obvious to me, there's something about tiktok where people have an opportunity to blurt out anything and it can be fun but there is a concern and it's really not just the democrats or the republicans.

it was a bipartisan vote and two courts upheld the question of bytedance and bytedance was fighting in u.s. courts the chinese company using our courts to overturn a u.s. law because there is a concern about national security. do you get a sense right now that it may really end up being that we don't know what's going to happen and until then gop senators from tom cotton to lindsey graham, thom tillis was present at the brunch meeting yesterday in a bunch of others, their pretty united that the law must be followed. >> i am shocked out of everything that is going on right now this is what we are super united on and we can all agree on this i understand the need for regulation across all special social media platforms not just tiktok, i agree facebook, instagram should be off of government phones. in the five years that a bit on the app i've not once seen any

propaganda, messaging via political or security threat in any way shape or form, i think i'm still in shock that is finally happening. liz: we are waiting for what was back in march top secret revealed for members of congress, certain members of congress where you had the department of defense at important people revealing the real problems. i'm still waiting to see it, mark warner the democratic senator from virginia was ahead of the meeting so we asked him and he said he can't reveal his top-secret but hopefully one day we will make the public so we can get a better sense. in the meantime people can still if avery downloaded it watch your tiktok's, you are hilarious and start migrating elsewhere. >> you like you have 10 million on tiktok into an instagram account. as a totally different platform

in a totally different income but tiktok is in a poor part of my life. it's such an important part of hundred 70 million other americans lives and losing it, it would be so detrimental, not just selfishly for me, obviously for my daughter and i got millions and millions of other small businesses that have relied on this and also become a business because of tiktok, i'm not one to answer the impact on the economy i don't know the serious impact in the unemployment rate if it were to go but i guess we will see, i'm in the same vote as you i have no idea. >> to let the world know how popular you have become you are popular enough that scams, amazon, the nfl, fila, these names going on, sc, l'oreal, sk,

his belief and peace through strength of his conviction are all things that appeal to me and i've also drawn by his optimism in his police enter belize under belief in america those are all qualities i see in you one of the things it resonated throughout your campaign was unshakable belief in our country and then citizens. you remind us of everything that is possible in america. i'm looking forward to working with you over the next four years to build up our great country. he says in scripture if you ask for wisdom it will be given to you and given to you generously. i pray in our prayer god will richly bless you in the years ahead and great you not only strength but wisdom. ladies and gentlemen, i ask you to join me in raising a glass to the president of the united states, president donald trump.

liz: senate majority leader john thune of south dakota and senator amy klobuchar basically wrapping up this beautiful luncheon that you see on capitol hill by given some swag and giving commemorative glasses with the national seal on it in a nice toast there president trump will not speak, they are running behind, he's going to get in a motorcade and head to the capital one arena with a big parade will happen in just a few minutes. as we wait for that, joining me now as they take the final benediction as former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor karl rove, first of all you got reaction to event so far. >> is a great day for america the peaceful transfer of power from one president to another president of a different party it's a expression of democracy in the moment of optimism for our country that we can do better and be better.

this lunch brought back memories i was at this lunch 24 years ago as a young white house staffer is senior advisor to george w. bush, attended four years later in 2005 on the reelection. i've been sitting on the shelf in my living room a blue bowl as a memento of the day, you may not know this but the first such inaugural luncheon was held in march of 1897 hosted by william mckinley incense that has been held every inaugural good one interesting tradition the food of the day is influenced by where the president vice president come from so there was text back in 2,022,005 today we have foods from the northeast and the midwest because of vice president from ohio in new york,

republicans and democrats together the leaders in the house and the senate leading with the president and the new president and the new vice president integrate expression of our democracy. liz: there better be bagels if there's free from the northeast in new york. >> it is lunch it is not breakfast it is lunch. liz: bagels or for any meal as far as unconcern. you had written a piece on january 15 in the wall street journal and is entitled how truck can start his term off right. as a guide from you and some of the things that you first acknowledge a spectacular comeback the president has made. you talked about how he would benefit from reaching out to democrats beyond pennsylvania senator john fetterman stopped the talked of conditioning aid to families who lost everything in the l.a. fires and it would help if he followed the vice president-elect jd vance and

disavowing pardons for the violent january 6 felons let's talk about those. >> he won he won the electoral college by a big margin, like the electoral college because it gives the ultimate winner of the presidential race typically a boost. he won by 322 to 216 excuse me 300, 226 to 212. but the popular vote was 1.5% we are divided country the republican margin is one it will hopefully before by the time they fill the vacancy created by matt gaetz retirement and the decision of the president to nominate two members of the house for cabinet positions, that is a very narrow margin. this is a moment when any president has an opportunity to take his supporters into get big

things number the country, and offer the president walking in hand to the people from the loyal opposition. he's almost 80 years old he is who he is he said several times, he was very clear about what he wanted to do during this term and people voted for him. that said you with advice to sharpen or soften sand down his sharpest edges what do you think is the sharpest edge if you could pick one and hope that he will take down. >> it is not a policy the animosity, i understand why he feels resentment look at the guy he was mistreated for the last

four years the criminal justice system went after him and in my opinion prosecutors in manhattan georgia who were acting inappropriately and he feels aggrieved and has political enemies were out to destroy him, i get that but he won that should be the ultimate victory. stop talking about it, move on today he talked about the big things he wanted to do for the country, that's why he won he did not win because people said they mistreated him that energized his supporters will ultimately leave this came down to a group of people the said things were better when he was in office, i may not like him personally there may be things that i don't like but he did a good job and i cannot bring myself to her because she's going to be a continuation of joe biden, those people and people who reluctantly voted for her are capable of being drawn in by president trump on behalf of a robust agenda that's going to make america better and we

know that, look at the numbers on immigration and inflation in the economy and make america strong militarily, these are 60 - 30 winners for him and if you emphasize. >> thank you very much and now that the luncheon you think i don't know i know. good liz. the presidential parade will begin and the parade is the culmination of the day's inaugural events and set to feature more than 7,000 participants from over 23 states. newly sworn in president of the united states, donald trump, will of course be in attendance. he's the star of the show. grady trimble live from capital one arena. tell us right now what it's like, grady. reporter: liz, the energy has been strong here all morning and
