lost key constituencies in this election. >> one thing that struck me with donald trump signing those executive orders. imagine you voted for him. that's action. it feels like you heard him promise it, and he's delivering. and that's winning politics. the democrats have to convince people they can do the same thing. >> very close election in america. 48/49 in the popular vote, but a resounding victory in the electoral college. he's now the 47th president of the united states. for some of you, "world news tonight" is next. i'll see you later tonight, 10:00 p.m. eastern for an abc news primetime special. thanks for watching, good night. this has been a special report from abc news. right now. >> the golden age of america begins right now. from this day forward, our country will

flourish. i will, very simply put, america first. >> president trump returns to the white house. but the swearing in was just the beginning. today. >> from bands to bagpipers, the parade and party that moved indoors today. >> plus a farewell to the bidens at the white house. good afternoon. thanks for joining us. >> i'm larry beil and i'm kristen z. today, donald trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the united states. president donald trump completed his political comeback today and his return to the white house. >> his swearing in happened inside the capitol this morning because of the frigid temperatures in washington, d.c, it's the first time in 40 years the ceremony was not outdoors. it's also where he announced his first actions as the 47th president.

>> a tide of change is sweeping the country. it will henceforth be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders, male and female. i will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. all illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. the united states will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory. >> president trump almost immediately began issuing a slew of executive orders. >> abc seven news reporter monica madden looks at the policies that will impact the bay area most. monica. >> kristen. as expected, we're seeing a crackdown on immigration along the southern border and a reversal of progressive policies that the

biden administration championed things like diversity, equity, equity and inclusion, or dei programs, many of which have direct impacts on the bay area to solemnly swear on day one of his second term as commander in chief, president donald trump is making good on campaign vows. >> with these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of america and the revolution of common sense, making sweeping changes through the power of executive action on areas of immigration, d-i programs, environment and gender. i will declare a national emergency at our southern border. >> the president says armed forces, including the national guard, will be deployed to the southern border for assistance, and the department of justice will seek the death penalty against undocumented immigrants who kill americans. >> we will forge a society that is colorblind and merit based. >> trump's administration is also ending all dea programs in the federal government. this

change won't just impact those hiring processes, but will also halt all other programs like environmental justice projects. one example the usda gave tens of millions to bay area cities for tree planting. drill. >> baby drill. >> trump's energy policies will also impact california, with plans to end leasing for wind farms and a repeal on tax breaks for electric vehicle buyers. governor gavin newsom has said california will foot that bill, in particular, the golden age of america begins right now. but many in the golden state don't view it that way. the aclu of northern california is concerned about transgender rights, will henceforth be the official policy of the united states government that there are only two genders, male and female, benefit from a constitution that protects the rights of every person, and by singling out any group to diminish their rights, we really weaken the fabric of equality and opportunity that we all benefit from above all else.

expect a flurry of lawsuits in response to the barrage of executive orders. >> we'll look at every one of these carefully, and we will certainly speak out. and we will go to court where there are violations of the constitution or of our laws. >> and a lot of those lawsuits will be coming from california as we speak. lawmakers are working on the legal defense fund that governor gavin newsom asked for. they're working on allocating $50 million in preparation to sue the trump administration. live in studio monica madden, abc seven news. >> definitely lots of legal battles. thank you monica. now to washington, dc and reporter john paul from our sister station in new york. >> here's a look at today's ceremony. hi, john. >> it is still underway. yeah. >> hey, it's good to see you guys tonight. yes. so much going on here tonight in the capital. you saw just a short time ago the president signing a number of executive orders in front of a rally at capital one arena. now he's heading to the white house to sign more executive orders in the oval office. now,

this day started out with church services at saint john's before the president came here to capitol hill to take the oath of office for a second time. >> i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear a return to power as donald trump was sworn in as the 47th president inside the capitol rotunda at noon today. the golden age of america begins right now. >> he spoke before a few hundred members of congress, dignitaries and supporters, much smaller than a typical inauguration after it was moved inside because of the frigid weather. during his 30 minute address, he talked about a wide range of issues, including the assassination attempt in pennsylvania. he said he would declare a national emergency at the southern border, and even talked about the wildfires in los angeles. >> there, raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now. we must be honest about the challenges we face. >> supporters gathered outside the capitol during the speech,

watching it on cell phones. >> we had to modify our own approach. so we set up. we set up the cell phone. we watched the entire the entire swearing in ceremony. >> everybody just kind of rolled with the punches and said, well, i guess it's better to be than here than anywhere else. >> after the inauguration ceremonies, the president spoke to a crowd of supporters gathered at emancipation hall, where he took aim at some political rivals, including liz cheney, and talked of pardoning some who stormed the capitol on january 6th. >> i was going to talk about the six hostages, but you'le happy because you know it's action, not words that count. >> a trump. >> there's so much more that's going to be happening. tonight there are parties planned, there are balls planned. but everything has been kind of sliding because a lot of these programs have run over their initial time slots. now, as i mentioned, he is heading to the white house to go to the ovalhe office to sign more of these

executive orders and those pardons for the j6 protesters, as he calls them hostages. he's expected to sign more of those, and we'll get more details on that as the night moves on. for now, we are live here on capitol hill. john paul, abc seven news. >> kristen, larry, i'm curious, what are you seeing on the faces of democrats or if you've talked to any? obviously, the video we see are mostly republicans who surround him today, but i'm wondering if you have gathered the mood on the other side who may not like what they're hearing. >> yeah. >> you know, the mood. in fact, where i'm standing here, i'm in the russell building. this is the senate building, and this is where a number of democratic lawmakers have stopped by to talk to various networks about what they're hearing, and their concern about democracy. that is the what i'm hearing over and over again from different lawmakers. they're worried that democracy will die, and they're vowing to push back as strong as they can. kristen. >> all right. >> john paul from our sister station wpvi. thank you so much. those attending the inauguration luncheon inside statuary hall

hosted the new administration with bay area wines. the main course featured a cabernet sauvignon from mount verdier winery in napa valley. whether that is wine glasses during the dessert course were filled with korbel's russian river valley natural sparkling wine. >> trump supporters in california say his inauguration will have a tremendous impact on politics here. >> staunch supporters stood out in the wind above highway 24 to talk about what they're experiencing today, with abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley. >> flags were flying and trump supporters were celebrating inauguration day on their perch above highway 24. the el curtola overpass became a gathering place for maga supporters and their signs to reach out to the passing traffic, sometimes including run ins with caltrans or local patrols. >> i'm so excited. i'm. i'm jazzed. >> today, it was mostly supporters who drove by, fist pumping excitement in the air.

but standing on the corner, there were detractors driving by to we just had a car drive by and yell something. do you get a lot of that? >> tons. >> people harassing you? tons. what do they say? >> whoops. really bad words. really bad words. they throw stuff at you. >> america's back. that is it. we're back. and. and we're excited to see where we can go from here. people are willing to listen to us now more than ever. we want half of the hispanic vote, half of the under 30 vote. we did. >> so you're detecting in this area and being out here, you're detecting lots, lots of uh. >> the republicans or maga republicans are not as shy as they once were. i think gavin newsom should be concerned about a recall. and it doesn't just stop there. we want lower energy bills, a secure border and the wasteful spending to stop. >> we believe that america is entering a golden age, and we

only want the best for everybody. >> on inauguration day in the east bay, i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> president trump's inauguration prompted elected officials and community leaders in the south bay to join forces today, urging immigrant families to, quote, create community power, not panic. officials say no matter what happens, they will not turn their backs on the immigrant community, no matter your country of origin, the color of your skin, or whether you have documentation. >> our city staff, including law enforcement, are here to serve you and keep you safe. >> officials reassured community members that city staff will not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. they also reminded them that santa clara county's rapid response network, which protects immigrant families from deportation threats, is available 24 over seven. >> president biden preemptively pardoned people who president elect trump had threatened to target during the campaign. that

includes doctor anthony fauci, general mark milley and members of the january 6th investigation committee. president biden's pardons also extended to the i'm sorry, president trump's pardons extended to oh, yes, biden also pardoned the capitol police officers who testified because he didn't want retaliation against him them. in a statement today, president biden wrote, i am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. now, there are exceptional circumstances and i cannot in good conscience do nothing. and he added, our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country. >> both mr. biden and kamala harris will be in california following today's inauguration. harris in los angeles to visit people impacted by the wildfires and the bidens will be in santa ynez as the former president left washington, dc today, he said, it's been the honor of my life to serve as your president. there is an abc news special

southern california. an unprecedented third red flag warning for the month of january is now in effect through january tomorrow for los angeles and ventura counties, as well as other areas. >> cal fire has pre-deployed some 800 firefighters, 76 trucks, as well as hand crews, bulldozers and airplanes. officials are urging residents to be on alert and prepare to evacuate if necessary. >> the national weather service has declared a particularly dangerous situation the most urgent warning for wind and fire danger. >> calmer conditions over the weekend allowed firefighters to reach 87 and 59% containment, respectively, on the eaton and palisades fires. the two fires broke out january 7th,

destroying some 13,000 structures, killing at least 27 people. >> reporter sid garcia, from our sister station in los angeles, shows us how residents in altadena are dealing with this latest fire threat. >> the deadly and destructive eaton fire is now 87% contained. the next bout of santa ana winds has firefighters concerned because the national weather service has categorized them as a potentially dangerous situation. there are fire trucks pre-deployed. but here is the concern here on the eaton fire. >> we feel pretty confident about the perimeter of our fire, and that we're not going to have any issues with our particular fire today or through this wind event. really, we're talking about a new start that can happen anywhere. and with the amount of wind that's coming, they're saying that they could have spotting up to four miles when the santa ana winds blow through a fire prone area. >> altadena residents like megan meyer start to worry. her home

did survive. >> i was actually at my house, which is still standing, thank god, and the winds like i can, you can feel it picking up, so it definitely have a little concern. there. worry there. >> darlene cameron returned to her altadena home today of nearly 45 years. it's burned to the ground. here's what it looked like before the fire. she says she will rebuild. >> i love this place. this was my this was my sanctuary and i just loved it. the first time i saw it, i said to my husband, this is home. this is where i want to raise my kids. and sure enough, we did. >> sid garcia, abc seven news. >> today we learned that a man and a boy pulled from the ocean yesterday in half moon bay have died. authorities say the eight year old got swept into the ocean at cowell ranch state beach around 3:00 yesterday afternoon. a 39 year old man went into the water after the child both got caught in a rip tide before being rescued by firefighters. both were taken to

the hospital, but despite life saving efforts, they did pass away. >> that's so sad. you got to be really careful around the water. if you get stuck in a rip tide, don't swim towards the shore. swim parallel to the beach and that way you can get out of the rip tide. hopefully. >> yeah, yeah. you've been in those situations. >> yes i have. yeah, it's not fun. >> it was really cold yesterday too. >> yeah, the chill is here. spencer. christian. >> it lasted overnight too through much of this morning and it will be back. but right now we're looking at fair conditions out there, mainly blue sky. it's been a windy day here. we don't have fire weather conditions here as they have in southern california, but the wind has been quite gusty, although it is quite tame now. you can see wind speeds generally under 20mph, except for the gusts at half moon bay at 29mph. still, though, we have a wind advisory in effect until 1 a.m. tomorrow. winds out of the north at 20 to 30mph. those are the sustained winds. gusts may still reach 35 to 50mph, although that possibility is diminishing

now, and there's still the possibility of downed tree limbs and power outages. we're looking at a 24 hour temperature change. that's pretty impressive. it is 12 degrees warmer right now in oakland and hayward than at this time yesterday. eight degrees warmer here in san francisco. all locations are significantly warmer, and we still have that beach hazards statement in effect until 7:00 this evening. the surf is rough. as larry pointed out, it's a good idea to be very cautious if you're going to be anywhere near the coastline. a dangerous, dangerous swimming and surfing conditions prevail now, and there's an increased risk of rip currents and sneaker waves. now let's talk about the cold. we'll have a frost advisory in effect again early tomorrow morning from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. for the north bay interior valleys of the east bay hills and valleys, and for the santa clara valley and the eastern santa clara hills. temperatures may drop as low as 32 degrees. of course, frost will form at that level and may damage sensitive plants. right now we're looking at temperature readings in the low to mid 60s for most bay area locations san francisco, oakland, hayward, san jose,

67, in san jose. so it's pretty mild out there right now under sunny skies. other temperature readings 68 at santa rosa and mid 60s at petaluma, napa, fairfield, concord, livermore down to 60 degrees. and these are our forecast headlines. we'll see cold and frosty conditions again overnight tomorrow. sunny and mild with lighter wind. much lighter than we had today wednesday through friday. sunny and much warmer, but overnight lows will drop into the low to mid 30s in many inland locations and down into the upper 30s near the bay shoreline. highs tomorrow low to mid 60s, up to about 6364 degrees in the mildest locations near the bay and inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. and speaking of mild, look at wednesday, thursday and friday up to 66 degrees or even higher near the bay on thursday. and in our inland areas, low 60s on the coast, which is rather unusual for this time of the year. but it turns sharply cooler on saturday, temperatures dropping 8 or 9 degrees from the levels on friday, and we'll see a few clouds in the sky. but at the moment we're not looking

at any significant chance of rain. >> i was going to say not even a droplet, a droplet or a droplet. nothing. >> spretzle. no, nothing. >> no nothing. take a gentle mist. anything. anything. all right. thank you. spencer. okay. >> from trains to marches to the chase center celebrating civil rights leader martin luther king jr and a fitting tribute now on display. >> the work by an artist who faced some of the same discrimination as other leaders of the civil but do they really? do they see all that you are? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

martin luther king jr. s life and legacy. >> for the 27th year, the marin city community gathered on this holiday to honor doctor king, hoping to empower a new generation of change makers. >> california's top public school boss was on hand, making a homecoming to the place that he knows very well, and abc7 news reporter cornell bernard was there. >> lift every voice and sing. >> the standing room only crowd of hundreds inside marin city's manzanita rec center, reflecting on the life and promise of doctor martin luther king jr. >> i think his message was, you don't give up the struggle. you keep on continuing. it doesn't stop. >> for 27 years, this community has gathered here to celebrate mlk s birthday. >> this is a very spiritual community. we work together and we care for one another. and so

that's what martin luther king, that's what he advocated for. that's what he gave his life for. >> we must celebrate our differences, but we have more in common than we know. >> california state superintendent of public instruction tony thurmond is returning to marin city, where he once worked as manager of the special services district. >> 20 years ago, i worked these grounds. i got money to pave these streets. i worked in this recreation center. >> thurmond coming back to marin city with a message inspired by doctor king. >> i hope that people will take messages of hope and change on this day when people are worried about hate. i hope people will take a lot of messages from doctor king. we could use this message now more than ever. >> former santa rosa mayor natalie rogers grew up in marin city's public housing. she believes her story is reflective of doctor king's dream. >> but martin luther king day just means everything. it tells us that we can dream, that we still need to pursue his dream, and that we just need to keep going. like, don't take no for

an answer. >> in marin city, cornel bernard, abc seven news. >> caltrain provided a free ride to hundreds of people attending mlk day events in the city of san francisco. the rail line's mlk celebration train carries passengers from the south bay and the peninsula to the annual march in san francisco. that train travels 54 miles, commemorating the historic 54 mile march. doctor king led from selma, alabama, to montgomery, alabama, back in 1965. >> we start here in san jose, and then we make our way a couple of stops in palo alto, san mateo, millbrae before we eventually make it into san francisco right in time for the march to start. >> the mlk day trip includes on board activities, including a free giveaway for children. >> new san francisco mayor daniel lowery was among those in attendance at this morning's mlk labor and community breakfast. san francisco officials mlk day events always begin with the annual breakfast at yerba buena gardens. the labor and community breakfast is a partnership between the norcal mlk

foundation and the san francisco labor council. more than 300 volunteers took part in the alameda county community food bank's mlk day of service. volunteers prepared thousands of meals to be distributed across the county. organizers say today's event is the largest volunteer day in the 40 years the organization has existed. >> the warriors just wrapped up an early game as part of the nba's tradition of honoring doctor king. they play afternoon games and the warriors lost to the nba champs, the boston celtics, at chase center. it was not particularly close. 125 to 85 warriors and celtics players warmed up in custom t shirts, showing a quote from doctor king. also, doctor clarence b jones was honored as the game's impact warrior. he was doctor king's lawyer and the speechwriter who authored parts of the historic i have a dream speech. >> revitalizing downtown san francisco. why hasn't it bounced back yet? >> it's a ghost town, people, i think, didn't want to come downtown because they were just

afraid of whatever might happen, you know? >> so why do people think downtown san francisco still is not safe? abc seven news reporter lyanne with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire

risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe. [skateboard sounds]

confirmed marco rubio as secretary of state in a vote that took place just a short time ago. that vote was unanimous 99 to 0. the only absence jd vance rubio is the first member of trump's cabinet to be confirmed by the senate. he is expected to resign his position in the senate shortly. >> back here in the bay. san francisco continues to navigate a really difficult post-pandemic recovery. downtown. >> so crime is down. there are fewer encampments, and some companies are now requiring

employees to come back in person five days a week. but the area still hasn't bounced back. right. >> so why what's the question? what's going on here? why do people think that it still isn't safe? and abc seven news building a better bay area reporter leon melendez examines sometimes how perception is not necessarily reality. >> the name of the game is perception, and we all know that the downtown area will never come back unless we perceive it as a safe and clean place. but here's the rub it's cleaner than it's been, and certainly crime is down. so the question is why are you not spending time there? humans are often predictable. people process information from their environment and make a judgment a determination. landmarks, clean streets, a little music, happy people. and yeah, they suddenly feel safe, welcomed. that's called perception. and the downtown area has a perception problem. empty storefronts are signs of an abandoned area. translation

eerie jim patrick's office supply store is one of the remaining businesses on a city block on market street. jim, i look around here and there are so many empty storefronts. how does that affect this entire area? how does it affect you? >> it affects the area in several ways. it doesn't help our business. number 1 or 2, we need more people downtown. >> but why would people come downtown if the perception is that it's not safe? crime here is actually very low. sfpd numbers show it's not a place you're likely to be robbed or attacked. george chen owns china live in nearby chinatown. he no longer opens for lunch on weekends, meaning no dim sum, because, again, the perception among many families is that downtown is not safe. >> it's a ghost town. people, i think, didn't want to come downtown because they were just

afraid of whatever might happen, you know? i mean, it's also just have a negative energy to it. and so why go downtown? >> it has a lot to do with what people are actually seeing. so let me explain. this muni bus stop has been vandalized over and over again. there is no glass. there is graffiti. so when i look at this, i think this area must be sketchy. i don't feel safe. so take a look at this bart canopy right over here. the glass has been shattered. not one, but several panels. so the question right now is what is bart doing about it? what is the sfmta doing about it? granted, he's only been mayor for a week. still, we asked daniel lurie if he had reached out to either agency. he had not, but admitted there is a lot of work to be done. >> we need more graffiti abatement officers. we have one

graffiti abatement officer, which is why we need to fully staff our police department. we have to fully staff our sheriff's department. we need to make sure that people know that if you commit crime, you're going to be held accountable. >> we did reach out to both transit agencies. sfmta told us clear channel owns and maintains the bus shelters and was asked to stop replacing the glass panels. that was in 2022. sfmta said, quote, the glass kept getting broken, which was becoming expensive to keep repairing. in october of last year, abc7 news first reported that bart's glass panels were vandalized. the person who broke them was eventually arrested. a bart spokesperson told us they have just now started to replace them three months later, but it's been more than a year since these transit screens were damaged, and they still have not been replaced. keep in mind that thousands of attendees of the recent jp morgan healthcare

conference walked right past them, and in february, san francisco will host the nba all star event. danny sauter just took over as supervisor for that section of downtown. >> the little things matter is people see them around the city, right? the graffiti, the glass, some of the disorder that adds up and that builds into the perception of san francisco not being safe. so i recognize that. i think we need to take that seriously. >> sauter has also called for hearings on why there are so few trash cans in the area. he also supports mayor lurie's proposal to increase foot patrol officers along market street. for now, empty buildings, empty storefronts and broken glass are an unwelcome mat for the neighborhood. no one has come up with a viable solution to the vacancy problem in downtown. take the all but empty crocker galleria. even though redevelopment plans are in the works, the mall gives the perception of neglect. the mall

is trying to attract innovative businesses, including. possibly asia live, a food destination owned by chef chen. >> i believe in san francisco, god knows it's been tough and we're not out of it. but i think we have a new mayor, new leadership, and i think things will get a lot better. >> okay, so the office vacancy rate in san francisco was 36.7% in the fourth quarter of 2024. now, the mayor has signed a signed ned siegel, the former financial chief of twitter, to lead those efforts to revitalize the downtown area. like we were discussing. i think for a while, there was some agencies that were kind of not complying or not fixing things because they probably thought, well, there's so many problems that the city has or, you know, what can we do? >> fix the glass today will be broken tomorrow. >> so chop chop, let's let's get to work, people. >> the reality is it's taken several years for san francisco to earn this image, this

negative image. it's not likely to instantaneously snap back and everybody go, oh, it's great. it's wonderful. so i mean it may take several years i think stories like this, yeah, for sure change the mindset of people. all right. thank you. leanne. leanne. well, the future of tiktok and silicon valley tech at the presidential inauguration

dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business.

tiktok briefly shut down over the weekend, just ahead of the new law banning the social media app in this country. now, even though it is back, the app is still not fully available. today, both apple and google are not allowing new downloads or software updates. so if you go in and you search for tiktok, let's say on the apple app store, a message pops up that reads. tiktok and other bytedance apps are not available in the country or region you're in, which, you know, presents a problem. like where do you go to get spencer christian dancing? if not on tiktok? it's not y operational, i don't know. spencer, what do we do? >> well, i'll visit you and dance, you know, privately in your home. >> okay. tiktok is way more than dance videos, first of all. >> but or educate me as to what else is on there since i'm not on tiktok. >> there's i mean, i'm on tiktok, i'm peak gen z or i guess not peak. i'm the beginning of gen z, gen xennial i call myself. but you know,

there's a lot of it depends on what your preferences are. it is popular because it has the strongest algorithm compared to any other social media apps, good or bad, it shows people exactly what they're interested in. so my feed i get a mix of like educational videos, cooking content, lots of taylor swift videos, you know, so it just is curated to whatever that individual person likes. but that can be bad because it makes it so much more addictive. yeah, interesting. >> we'll see what he does. i mean, president trump was the first one to suggest, you know, banning it, that it was a security threat. but now he's in the position of, you know, allowing it to continue. so we'll see. okay. meantime, tiktok ceo was one of many tech ceos at today's presidential inauguration. elon musk took the stage right afterwards at capital one arena. so. i you made some other gestures as well, some of them being talked about tech titans mark zuckerberg of meta, tim cook of apple, sundar pichai from

google. amazon's jeff bezos all had prime seats there. >> yeah, i mean, i think if you're whoever, you know, any tech ceo, the reality is, whatever your own personal feelings are, you are going to have to fall in line. and, you know, there has been discussion about even facebook and mr. biden and how they felt pressured. so whoever the president is, whatever his policies may or may not be, if you're in a big, influential tech company and you're running that company, at some point you are going to have to deal with the white house. >> being there was the pragmatic thing to do. >> yeah, yeah. >> and they all have vested interests. talks of regulation in the social media space i world that has been, you know, conversations ongoing for quite some time now. so, you know, they obviously want to be able to continue as is. i think it was interesting that they were in better seats than members of his cabinet. so we'll see. >> yeah, i mean, they have a fiduciary responsibility, i guess, to their shareholders. interesting to note though, zuckerberg, i don't think, went

to the last inauguration and said he wanted to stay out of those things, but people change. >> elon musk proved he does not have natural rhythm. >> yeah, yeah, we'll leave that there. yeah. in addition to politics, eyes were on fashion at the inauguration today as well. first lady melania trump wore an outfit by an american designer, but it was the hat by the new york hat maker eric javits that has people talking there. and vance wore a custom oscar de la renta pastel pink cashmere coat dress. ivanka trump in dark green dior. >> also a hat on ivanka and lauren sanchez, wife of jeff bezos. >> also, she happens to be a former television news anchor. >> wait, did they already get married? >> i think they are. >> they did. i think they did. yeah. >> well, how did i miss that? was i not invited? >> that is. that is truly shocking. actually, that should be the topic on for today when, you know, she always dresses up white lingerie style. >> down today. >> well, think about it. >> let's just say keeping with the brand that has been

established. so was there anything that jumped out to you, spencer, when you were watching uh- the hat? >> was that melania melania's hat? yeah, that sort of jumped out because it covered a lot of her. her face and facial expressions. >> you think that was intentional? >> no comment. >> i think the hat is what a lot of people remember. i loved usha vance's outfit. i thought that was really nice. very elegant. but yeah, the hat was really interesting. it was definitely a fashion statement. >> yeah. and i wonder how much of it was it was going to happen outside. right. so it was going to be cold. so wear the hat. but then it's indoors anyway. okay, so today is blue monday. it's a term coined by uk travel company for what they say is the most depressing day of the year. blue monday typically falls on the january the 3rd, monday in january. according to sky travel, it's a combination of post-holiday financial strain, poor weather and failed new year's resolutions that contribute to low moods. on this day. >> so for me, blue monday is a
