right now a protest that started this morning remains under way in the heart of downtown d.c. and just a couple of blocks from the white house. chopper 4 capturing several green peace activists who climbed a construction crane and rolled out a banner that reads, resist. in order to protest, president trump's actions on the environment. let's get to news 4's pat collins, live at scene. pat? >> reporter: we've had protests and we've had protests over the years in washington. i don't remember one quite like this. it's been going on since day break. it appears we do have some movement now.
4:15 pm
the base of this large crane at the construction site of 15th and l streets northwest. you'll see two of the greenpeace demonstrators sitting down over there. since early this morning, and for most of the day, they had chained themselves to the crane ladder to keep the cops and others from following the greenpeace climbers up to the crossbar up there, some 270 feet in the air, where they unfurled this huge banner, 35x70 feet that saysid to resist president donald trump's policies. now, this went on for hours. some of those climbers actually dangled in the air to try to straighten out the sign as we went through the day. it brought traffic down here pretty much to a stop. people were sort of craning their necks and taking pictures as they took in what was
4:16 pm
them. what's up there, is it a bird? a plane? no, it was greenpeace. this is what some of the people had to say about it. >> live here and got detoured, which is a little frustrating. i agree with their message so i don't mind much. >> they're certainly getting everybody's attention. and causing a lot of people to be late for work. i'm sure that they think that that's okay. given their cause. >> reporter: again, a daring demonstration. how it all came together, i'll have more on that coming up at 5:00. >> thank you, pat. have you checked your 401(k) today? we sent a breaking news alert to our phone as the dow crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time. >> looks like investors are optimistic about the economy, but what does it mean for your money? cnbc's courtney reagan joins us live with more on that. a lot of folks asking that question today,
4:17 pm
>> reporter: that's right. dow 20,000 is one of those key psychological levels. we always sort of celebrate those round numbers. and it's like anything else, an anniversary or birth day, it's a way to mark the passage of time. so, that means that we have seen a really nice rally, even in the last two months. just for example on november 4th, four days before the presidential election, the dow closed under 18,000. that means we have run 2,000 points just since the election. the dow is up more than 9% since the election of donald trump. and that is a large reason why we've seen the run. whether or not you believe in his political views or not, that's how traders are attributing this rally. >> so, they believe it's tied directly to the election of donald trump. is this likely to continue? are investors optimistic this run is going to go for a while? >> reporter: while the market was actually pricing in a
4:18 pm
election results coming in we saw the stock market futures tick lower. once the market knew for sure that donald trump was going to be the president, and that certainty was locked in, we began to see stocks rise. they rose because of his campaign promises for things like spending on infrastructure and tax cuts. nose are all very pro-business. and that's why we've seen stocks run ever since that. now that he's been in office and signing those executive orders that appear to be a foul-through on his intentions, that's why we've continued to creep higher. it was -- it was him talking and now it's action, and that's why we've seen the dow cross 20,000. >> courtney reagan, thanks much. about the only thing more volatile than the stock market is, of course, the weather. everybody wondering how long this warm spell's going to stick around. >> yeah, guys, just like the stock market, today is way up here like this and then hopefully it doesn't do this, like the temperatures are going o
4:19 pm
falling over the next few days. we'll go below average for a change. it's been a very warm month. we've had a couple of cold days mixed in there, but a very warm month for the most part here. it looks like we're going to end it on a cold note. pleasant of sunshine. really just beautiful. this is gorgeous. plenty of sunshine, blue skies. this might be the most sun we've seen all month. 58 degrees. temperatures dropping from the 50s through the 40s around the 11:00 hour, 49 degrees. really nice weather this evening. we will see the clouds on the increase. talk about that in a second. first off, look at the numbers. 61 in fredricks. 61 charlottesville. a little cooler along the water. 49 degrees down towards the river. but everybody on the mild side today. nothing on the radar. we won't see anything this evening. overnight tonight, we're tracking a system just back to the west. you can see the system itself spinning back here towards parts of iowa. some areas over a foot of snow back here, but that's not what's
4:20 pm
way is coming out of the southwest. it is some moisture, a little bit in the way of some rainfall that may fall overnight tonight. let's track it for you. take you hour by hour tonight. 7:00 still dealing with clear skies. a very nice evening if you want to get out for a dinner. by 11:00, here come the clouds. they'll be in overnight, so that means a mild night and mild start tomorrow. at 5:00 a.m., some showers down to the south and east. a few showers up to the north. by 7:00, well, they're just about out of here. by 8:00, the clouds are out of here, too. we see more sunshine. look at this. this tells the tale here. here comes snow back to the mountains of west virginia, back to western maryland. all that means for us is it gets colder tomorrow afternoon and gets rather windy, too. a high temperature tomorrow of 57 early. morning clouds. then turning windy and cooler during the evening hours. you'll notice a difference by about this time tomorrow you'll start to feel the winds pick up and start to feel those colder numbers. then it gets a lot colder here. 44, breezy on friday.

4:31 pm
today, detracting, some would say, from the news the president made about his wall. at the department of homeland security, president trump said his immigration crackdown will save thousands of lives, millions of jobs and billions of dollars. >> beginning today, the united states of america gets back control of its borders. >> reporter: keeping signature campaign pledge. >> i will build a great, great wall on our southern border. >> reporter: it would run 1900 miles and cost an estimated $15 to $25 billion. and because mexico is refusing to pay, mr. trump asked congress to. >> at this point his goal is to get the project started as quickly as possible using existing funds and resources. >> reporter: cheaper drones, towers and detectors would work, said john mccain, the senator from arizona. >> yes, we can secure our border, but it isn't just with, quote, building a wall. >> reporter: president trump also ordered
4:32 pm
papers to be deported, and to cut off federal funds to cities like new york, that offer sanctuary to undocumented migrants. >> i have no higher duty than to protect the lives of the american people. >> reporter: but on the day the dow hit 20,000, the president again distracted from his own moves on prosperity and security. tweeting, i will be asking for a major investigation into voter fraud, using his new powers to escalate his unfounded claim that he lost the popular vote because millions of what he called illegals voted. those are among the kinds of people that president trump moved today to keep out and kick out of our country. steve handelsman, news 4 at the white house. back to you. >> thank you, steve. we're here with today's "talk around town." i have to imagine that some of your listeners are government workers. what are they saying about this hiring freeze? >> there's a lot of concern because these people, just like every e
4:33 pm
they take care of their families, depend on their jobs, have to pay the bills, mortgage, get folks through school. they say it's sobering to hear this freeze is on the way. there's a whole lot of uncertainty in the folks that i spoke to because the move that president trump could make could have a serious impact on our region. a lot of people may not know, for example, that 12% of marylanders work for the federal government. and a lot of people could ultimately be forced out of their jobs searching for something new so it has people on edge. they're very concerned about what could happen next. >> pushing forward on that, what about this idea that maybe some of these federal jobs are going to get moved to different states? lower cost states. >> that's a concern. people working in the federal government aren't sure what's going to happen. what if you were trying to transfer to another department or another agency or maybe you get an upgrade in your job position, those things are all up as well for question in terms of what's going to
4:34 pm
in, can you bring new people to new areas. so, a lot of concerns. i spoke with the incoming president of blacks in america, they represent 1.35 million workers. she said the president's decision to freeze is very troubling and also comes as black federal workers are already dealing with other issues on the jobs. could be a gateway for some of the government to return to the way, unfortunately, things were done in the past. >> for example, some of them are saying, okay, we can go back to what i call the good ol' boys' town, where we can choose to harass minorities on the workplace, especially african-americans. we don't have to treat them fairly. we don't have to give reassignments to the minorities anymore. it doesn't have to be fair. we can give it to those that we are most comfortable with.
4:35 pm
>> her organization is fighting for making sure that there is equity in these jobs. some of those, you could see some setbacks if you now have people out of the workforce. >> i can see where you spin it and say, well, you're going to make the same money so your money is going to go twice as far in iowa as it would here. but then you have to think, well, if somebody's working and living in suburban maryland, are they going to want to live in north dakota or omaha or iowa. >> exactly. you have roots and uprooting families. again, we're so entrenched, there are so many people that work in the federal government in our area, could have an adverse impact as well as economically. that means those people are leaving communities where they were spending their money and dollars. really a lot of questions up in the air. >> it's not the last time we'll have you here to talk about this. thank you very much. pat? >> first at 4:00 -- repealing obamacare and medicaid expansion could cost the district billions of dollars in federal funds, according to a new report from the office of the d.c.
