products here at home but those who do not, there will be a substantial border tax levied on them. he wants to reduce taxes for the middle class and businesses from anywhere to 15 to 35%. the current corporate tax rate is at 35%. that's the highest in the world. the president also repeated, though, his campaign mental that it was time to cut the red tape. >> we think we can cut regulations by 75%, maybe more, but 75%. >> a company that wants to fire all of its people in the united states and build some factory some place else and think that is that product is going to flow across the border into the united states, that's not going to happen, they are going to have a tax to pay, a border tax. cheryl: he mentioned the decision by taiwan, maker of components of apple iphone and they are the world's biggest contract, electronics maker to built the 7 billion-dollar plant in the u.s., the plant will make displays for divisions, of

state and 300 miles of vehicle barriers according to customs and border protection. old metal plates, steel mesh and vertical polls which anyone can walk under or over. a wall trump argues is more effective. >> they symbolize the idea of restricting movement and protecting american jobs, but in terms of actually preventing movement at the border, building a wall is not a very effective strategy. >> when fences are backed by agents, cameras and sensors, evidence shows wall stop immigrants and deter others, spicer didn't address according to illegal immigrant children and families but said the new administration will go after criminal aliens. >> we need to direct agencies focused on those in the country illegally and have a record, criminal record or pose a threat to the american people. >> number one going after 2 million criminal aliens currently but also challenging sanctuary cities which is their

offered a reset with the media. >> is it your intention to always tell the truth from that podium and will you pledge never to knowingly say something that is not factual? >> it is. yes, i believe that we have to be honest with the american people, sometimes we can disagree with the facts, there are certain things that we may miss -- we may not fully understand when we come out but our intention is never to lie to you. >> spicer was asked whether president trump brought supporters with him to the cia where he spoke over the weekend. >> those with knowledge of who was in the room that senior leadership were not among those hooting and hollering and there were some 40 people who were in the first front rows who were brought in -- >> i don't think that's accurate at all. you listen to the audio of it, you can hear the excitement that exists there. >> those were cia employees? >> i honestly don't have a seating chart. i think we had a very small

footprint going over. >> they are uncomfortable with that portrayal. >> spicer went onto say as you heard him say on that particular clip that he did not have a seating chart but those sitting in the front row were all cia employees. clayton: small footprint going over there. powerful north eastern roaring up and pounding rains, a man in philadelphia killed after a winds ripped the sign off of a car dealership, pinned him against the car. this is all part of the same weather system responsible for a 48-hour tornado rampage down south, at least 20 people confirmed dead. most of them in georgia, let's get right back to where the storm is at this hour. janice: this one has moved into north eastern.

3,000 tornado reports over the weekend and we are seeing the rain, the wind, the snow and the freezing rain. we could see significant icing across portions to northern new england and maine. be extra careful if you live in these areas. we will say good-bye to this system and then we will see another system move up to great lakes and the northeast on thursday. warm temperatures along the coast so mainly a rain. can you imagine it if we were dealing with freezing temperatures the last storm system would be a blizzard with feet of snow. there's there's silver lining. now, across the west, still watching the the last storm system. quieter weather pattern, which we like. however, we will see some of that energy across the rockies moving into the northern plains and the midwest where we could see upwards 6 to 8-inches of snow and that's why we have

winter weather advisories and warnings, minneapolis, green bay and back to portions of the dakotas. rough commute with the north eastern. back to you clayton and heather. heather: incredible view as the daredevil scares the bridge. making his way up the steel arches with a go-pro camera. clayton: the climb takes him a few minutes till the cops arrived, bringing traffic to a standstill below him. heather: i guess he's not afraid of heights. clayton: no way. heather: president trump already signing five executive orders in just four days, what do they mean for you.

our next guest with a closer look. clayton: apparently more than just walk in the woods, the sign that is she could be throwing her hat back into the ring. heather: really? president or not, just how much did the american people know about the past 44th president? jesse waters finds out. >> calvin coolidge? >> i don't think so. am i getting them wrong? >> yes

clayton: president trump jumping into his new role feet first signing three executive orders number one on trade and hiring and then abortion. heather: what do they mean for the average american, here to weigh in political commentator we -- erin. let's start with

méxico city policy, who either perform abortion or provide information on the option and it was first instituted in 1984 by reagan. what does it mean potentially down the road, is defunding planned parenthood possibly next? >> it could be, heather. this specific executive order means very little for the average american, it's really an expression of president trump just saying that he is pro-life and he supports pro-life policies. as you mentioned, this is a policy put in place by ronald reagan but also kind of gotten back and forth between republican and democratic administrations over time. this is something that president george w. bush had in place but then president obama unwound. so president trump is bringing it back.

clayton: let's talk about tpp, first of all, what is it and what are we doing now? >> so president obama got the united states involved in tpp but if you remember this is actually not gone through congress yet so it's not a trade pack that is all the way recognized fully, so i don't know that average americans will feel the effects of what president trump did just yesterday and you've seen this morning that obviously senator john mccain has warned against this but president trump made clear throughout the campaign that he wanted to pull the united states out from these broad multinational trade agreements say that the united states should only be involving itself in trade agreements one-on-one with other countries and he's talked to union leaders about this, basically what he wants to do is make sure that american jobs stay in the united states and that's why he did this yesterday. heather: one of the issues that hillary clinton flip-flopped.

freeze for government hiring. he's going to shrink government. this though does not include the military. >> right. this is the biggest one yesterday with respect to how americans will see the impacts of this. i have seen some critics say that this could mean for average americans longer lines at some agencies where they get government services like social security, for example, but remember, this is not going to be like the government shut down in 2013, we will have plenty of government workers filling those roles, it means they can't hire anyone new and long-term, president trump has been saying that he wants to cut the size of the federal workforce through save taxpayers' money because there are jobs better duh -- duplicative.

>> brian kilmeade. >> let me tell you what we have straight ahead. veterans outside of inaugural balls the other night. yeah, ugly. brian: what you don't see is after video is taken. two gold star families assaulted by antitrump protestors and things were thrown at them. we will get the story right from them and donald trump's first week in office, how about his second day with corey lewandowski and laura engram. i can't encourage you before you get to work, get dressed, back in a moment so they can keep watch over operations below the sea, even from thousands of feet above. because safety is never being satisfied.

right now seven brackets. the top rate would be 33%. remember under barack obama right now it's 43% and, of course, he wants to lower the corporate tax rate. the latest that we heard 15 to 20%, that certainly would be a good thing for businesses as they look to maybe hire more americans. clayton: if we can get it through. cheryl: exactly. clayton: what about the website getting a facelift? >> there's been a change to white house.gov. the spanish language version of the site has actually been removed. the question is this a permanent decision. some experts say, look, there's 383 languages in this country that are spoken, so maybe this

kind of makes sense to take everything but english and make it the website all english, but we heard from sean spicer, maybe this isn't permanent but we don't know what the plans are. as of now, the website is all english. clayton: you can hit translate on what browser you need. heather: that'll work. a way to get a free burger today. cheryl: you're talking food, all right. shake shack, they are debuting the first app. not in android yet. download the app and use shack kappy. i should have spelled that out for you. you put that as your promo code and you get a free burger, good
