cheers. there was talk, would trump offer an olive branch to his opponents? well, if he offered an olive branch, he immediately threw it on the fire of passion that he has lit with his supporters and spoke, he remained defiant, the same sort of voice heard during the campaign. he talked about down times in america. we talked about violence, loss of jobs. how he described it. american trump: this carnage stops right here and now. right brad: trump said so many of the things his supporters wanted to fact,nd they were, in cheering. he concluded his speech with his that we saw on the sea of red hats, that he will make america great again. back at 6:00 with much more

trump. was "the time for empty talk is over" and "the time for now." is we heard a lot of that dominating his speech today, thatcting the commitment got him here. whether it was met with elation clear opposite, for many, it's a moment few would have one year ago. a man who had never run for office in his life, now holding highest one. >> congratulations, mr. president. scott: the path here may have seemed improbable but the former reality show star and businessman knew his audience and his catch phrase resonated a way little else could. president trump: you came by the to become parts of an historic movement, the likes of which the world has seen before. scott: middle america was not just ready for but demanded a departure from traditional washington and

trump delivered. presidt trump: the forgotten men and women of our country longer.forgotten no >> sheet metal workers, union felt leftand they behind by the democratic party so trump was a clear choice. illinoisally in because our state is completely run down by both democrats and republicans. that carriedns over into votes. he dominated among working class states acrosspt the rust belt. reaches out to those struggling and i think that's what he's all about. of ouread of sending all money overseas and working on bringing half a million refugees and things like that, that's just my opinion and i know a lot of my friends feel the same way. who don't, itse fostered division, a national one a new president trump and supporters are vowing to mend. we're here in support of unity, whatever ita

uproar and is in an we need to fix it and we're hopeful for the future. scott: president trump now knows who got him here. he spent much of the day trying peoplesure th group of that he will deliver on the campaign promises and the theme heard "from mountain to mountain, ocean to ocean, you again," i be ignored think that is something he will try to hammer home every time he comes to the podium, gives a speech, talks about legislation. he feels that's a real winner for him. alison: now that he's actually in office, what do you think he'll do first? any guesses? scott: well, i've got a lot of guesses. i won't run through them all now but i will say this. this team has made a lot of promise that is they were instantly going to be prepared to make change. i think you'll probably see executive orders. they'll let the weekend go by for the most

but come monday, you'll hear some executive orders announced. ofy'll try to repeal some patrick president obama's actions. be regulatory actions that he'll tackle. out ak they'll roll laundry list of items quickly. they also had been proud to say they had more than 500 what they called beachhead people, who are already going be in these be in these officee different departments and divisions around washington, d.c. first thing monday morning because in some cases you don't have secretaries who have been of these heads organizations named and confirmed so they have their own people ready to start that they cann work so point to things on paper and say, we've already done things, quickly we're making it happen. jonathan: his biggest obstacle what?be he has a majority in the house and senate. but

are the obstacles you expect him to face? the devil'snk it's in the details challenge. we'll repealsay and replace but is the fine-tuned plan enough? when the a.c.a. was passed, everyone admitted they hadn't read the whole bill because of the hundreds of pages involved. have new members of the congress, you have a new president. aren't just brought a magic world with wand. there is a lot of work to be scenes.ind the i think his biggest obstacle is canng how quickly you fine-tune these plans before you can vote for them, even with a republican house and senate willing to help you.
