- President Biden's first orderof business on his first day

on the job was to immediately reverse some

of his predecessors keypolicies and agendas.

- Some of the things we're gonna be doing

are bold and vital,

and there's no time to start like today.

- [George] Top of his priority,

getting the COVID pandemic under control.

Biden's first executive order,signed while wearing a mask,

requires face coveringson all federal lands,

along with a pledge to deliver100 million vaccine shots

in his first 100 days in office.

He plans to sign 10 pandemicrelated orders today.

- It's requiring, as I said all along,

where I have authority,mandating masked be worn

and social distancing bekept on federal property

and interstate commerce, et cetera.

- [George] With a stroke of several pens,

the incoming President then signed

more than a dozen other executive orders,

the most a president hasever done on his first day.

- It's an incredibly broad scope of bold

and aggressive actions,

some of which aredesigned to roll back some

of the most egregious actionsof the Trump administration.

- [George] Among them, Bidenrepealed Trump's travel ban

preventing people frompredominantly Muslim

and African countries fromentering the United States.

And as part of his campaignpromise to reengage the world,

the President rejoined theWorld Health Organization

and the controversialParis Climate Accords,

which President Trump pulled out of.

The president also revoked plans

for a Keystone XL oil pipeline.

- The United States continues to be one

of the world's largestemitters of greenhouse gases,

and we need to put in place policies

and take steps here toaddress that, as well.

- [George] Some argue nixingthe Keystone pipeline project

and rejoining the Paris treatywill hurt American workers

and further weaken an economyalready reeling from COVID.

- The reality is regulationsthat are promulgated

on the energy industry aregoing to increase those prices,

which are going to havedramatic ripple effects

throughout the economy,disproportionally impacting

the lowest income families in America.

- [George] The Biden administration plans

to sign more executiveorders in the weeks ahead,

including rolling backrestrictions on abortion funding

and revoking the ban on transgenders

from serving in the military.
