6:00 pm
i'm eric thomas. and i'm dan ashley, live in washington, d.c. a lot is happening right here in this city on president trump's first day. let me catch you up on some of the latest headlines here in washington. in just the past couple of hours we got our first look at donald trump inside the oval office. he signed his first executive order as president. an order for federal agencies to ease the burden of president obama's sweeping health care law. we're working to get more details on what that order actually means. it comes after congress voted for a full repeal act. stay tuned for that. president trump's two cabinet nominees were sworn in, james mattis, and general kelly as homeland security secretary. earlier today, the senate confirmed both nominations earlier in this day.
6:01 pm
a busy, busy day in washington. the parade is now over, there are three inaugural balls happening in washington, d.c. you are looking live at one of them. two are open to the public and will be attended by thousands of people. the other is by invitation only. the president and vice president and their wives will attend all three events making appearances at all of them. it has been a day filled with celebration after taking the oath and giving his inaugural speech. president trump joined lawmakers from both sides of the aisle for the traditional inaugural lunch. house minority speaker nancy pelosi congratulated and spoke to the president. >> these are words and actions that will face the judgment of history and are part of a long heritage of our democracy. >> reporter: now, it has been a day of celebration but as you have seen here in washington and around the country also a day of
6:02 pm
protest. but a lot of people came from the bay area to be a part of this inauguration. and we had a chance to spend some time with them today. what did you think of the president's speech? >> i thought it was good. i think he is talking to all market now and is the leader for all of america. >> was it moving to you in some ways? >> yes, very much, a very patriotic thing to listen to the president and see the inauguration and the people, the people were great, the crowd was amazing. >> reporter: why are you here 3,000 miles from home today? >> i'm here to honor our new president. >> what did you think of the speech, the inauguration? >> i thought it was fantastic, we're going to make america great again. >> reporter: everyone here very relieved that the rain held off the inauguration. i have been talking to people who came from all parts of the country including a lot of people from the bay area. some diehard trump supporters, some not so much. but everybody i spoke to was
6:03 pm
very glad they came. what was your impression as a democrat being here on the public inauguration? >> i think ultimately he is our president. right? i mean, that is the whole purpose of democracy, you vote in an election, no one ever said you're going to get your choice. but the majority decides. and we have him for four years and we have to abide by that decision. >> a lot of people in our area don't support donald trump for president. what would you say to them on this inauguration? >> i would say give him a chance, he is a very smart person, okay, he didn't get to where he is by being dumb. i think a lot of people fear some of the rhetoric he says but a lot of it is taken out of context. i think he will bring a lot of common sense values to the white house and will just do a good job. >> reporter: a lot of people do fear the rhetoric they have heard from donald trump which is why so many people came to washington to protest this inauguration, at least 200 arrests here and protests
6:04 pm
happening around the country and certainly many back in the bay area as well, some turning violent at times. but all in all, the day went very smoothly, $100 million in security buys you security so everybody here was kept safe. in the meantime, as soon as the inauguration was over, things changed dramatically for two men, donald trump and barack obama, now private citizens, obama and michelle obama's plane landed a short time ago today in southern california. at riverside's march air reserve base they were supposed to land at palm springs airport about an hour ago but they could not because of a storm moving through. this landing in riverside was a bit of a challenge because the base lost power in the storm. the obamas plan to spend a week on vacation in california, and then move back to washington, d.c. to live in the covet kalorama neighborhood where they bought a house. unusual for a former president to live in washington after leaving office.
6:05 pm
they will stay there while their oldest daughter, malia, finishes high school. so again, a very full day in washington, turning into a very full and busy night as those who came here to celebrate the inauguration of president trump are attending three major balls going on in the city. i'll be back a little later in the hour but a lot more to share with you. we talked to democrats and republicans and how they feel about this change in washington. much more to come, but for now we'll send it back to you in san francisco. >> all right, dan, thank you. we'll see you again. and here in the bay area the inauguration has sparked numerous demonstrations. >> in san francisco, there were several protests going on at the same time. abc 7 news reporter melanie woodrow followed streets that were blocked. >> reporter: the crowd gathered at the u.n. plaza is now on the move. take a look, you can see hundreds of people marching here
6:06 pm
on market street making their way to the castro. and you can see they have signs and flags. they're playing music and chanting. earlier today we have video to show you from when this crowd gathered at u.n. plaza at about 5:00 this evening. this was after the sky opened up and there was quite a bit of rain. but that didn't stop these people coming out again with their signs. they were organized, speaking and sharing their viewpoints. we talked to a couple of people about why they decided to show up tonight. >> i am here tonight because i refuse to accept the indignity that comes with a president that represents me as a woman and yet saying such disrespectful things. i also came here tonight because my dad is an immigrant, i also came here because my dad is an immigrant and i think disrespectful statements are unacceptable. >> anger and frustration.
6:07 pm
i think the fact there has been foreign interference in our election is really troubling and i'm afraid it will be swept under the rug now that he has taken office and that is a threat to our democracy. >> reporter: there were orders to disperse at 16th and 7th street, linking themselves together at the caltrans tracks. local officers had to lift the people off the tracks, while the caltrans workers cut the chains around them after the protesters would not move. back now you can see the protesters gathered at the plaza, they are behind me headed to the market street on the castro. this is one of several peaceful protests that we've seen today in san francisco. i can tell you there are several law enforcement officers around this evening but they have not had to step in. they say so far this has been a peaceful protest.
6:08 pm
live in san francisco, melanie woodruff, abc 7 news. thank you, melanie, and the wet weather didn't stop a group of protesters in oakland marching, they protested at 14th and clay street. one protester told abc 7 news she was disappointed that the crowd was not bigger. >> protesters gathered outside the immigration office in san francisco. tensions rose a built, but officers moved in and the protesters ended peacefully. and causing headaches at the port of oakland today, it began shortly after the workers didn't report for work, and it caused one shipping terminal to close. truckers were backed up for hours. >> what hurt us is one of the terminals closed down. we got a lot of loads that we could not get done today. >> long shore workers were vocal
6:09 pm
opponents of president trump, the port will resume operations later on today. and police are watching to make sure other events are not out of hand, live from franco gawa plaza. >> reporter: the rally is on the move, we're trying to keep up with them after they moved from frank ogawa plaza. the police saw them turn down 58th. there is a large opd presence out here. the rain has made a difference in the size of the crowd, but there still appears to be a lot of people out here marching. let me show you the video from earlier today. >> we do this for the power for the people, man. >> reporter: around a thousand people protested in inauguration of donald trump, shut down broadway and oakland, marchers then rallied at frank ogawa
6:10 pm
plaza, where many expressed themselves at the mike event. we heard from women on minority rights and the environment. meanwhile, other groups such as socialists alternative and "black lives matter" set up booths to help spread their messages. >> i am also a science teacher, so to put somebody in charge of the epa who has opposed the epa, opposed regulation. i am really afraid. >> mass movements are going to be necessary to stop trump's attacks, mobilizing people in the streets to protest, get organized in the work place, eventually have strikeouts, school walkouts, things like that. >> reporter: as i said there are a lot of oakland police officers at the ready. opd says their staffing levels are full tonight. the demonstrations have been peaceful that we witnessed out here today. back live, we'll catch up with
