There are several hundred people out here, in fact, what started around 11 00 this morning, it was still drizzling, the numbers have just grown from that point on. Again, estimated to be about several hundred, many of the signs out here reflecting peoples opinions. They do not want the Affordable Care act to be repealed. Now, we caught up with commissioner richard ross, just went last ten minute, we asked him questions about the city in general, and security, and facing concerns.

So we will see what happens at the loews hotel. Well see what happens. Now, once again, commissioner ross also add that he is unaware of any planned mars at this point right now. So talking about traffic concerns, and congestion, we will remember that that traffic box basically secret Service Construction traffic box in the area of loews hotel at 12th and market. For now right now here in the pain plaza across from city hall, demonstration well underway, has been going for about an hour now. Here, we will keep you posted on all of the latest. Live in center city, joe holden, cbs3, Eyewitness News. Joe, thank you. Now those protests for the president s visit have result in the many road closures and detours in center city. Meisha johnson here to tell us what we need to know about getting around. Our President Trump has just landed. Because of that you have to know about some closures. Looking at penndot actually following right now 95 north, closed between the airport and the vine, then the vine westbound slows between 95 and the broad. This camera shot right here is 95 by the airport, like i said, penndot is actually following that motorcade right now. So we switch gears, show you delaware county, the five north at 452, guys, take a look at this, if you approach the airport, look at this traffic. If you can avoid this area moving up to the airport northbound on 95, anywhere on 95, i would do so right now. Plus, just some pointers you certainly want to take into consideration today. Closures, until 6 00 p. M. Today, so this will affect our evening commute, as well. Thirteenth street from chestnut to market, Market Street from 11th to juniper, 12th fret from chestnut to arch. Also take a look at this, some of the closures around the city, 1100, 1200 block of market, where we see restrictions this place, 1260 chestnut, 13th from chestnut to market. See where you are starting to slow down already. As we push into the city, you can see, 15th street around city hall, get very slow eastbound schuylkill vine, all of this, do you have add extra time even though we are in midday right now. Jan, jim, back over to you. Reporter thank you so much, meisha. As weve been mentioning the president s plan has just arrived at Philadelphia International airport. This is a live look at air force one. The president s plane just touched down about four minutes ago. We are awaiting the President Trump to exit air force one, and then as meisha mentioned the motorcade will take him up i95 and into center city. Obviously hell be making his way to the loews hotel for again that gop congressional retreat. And jan, Top Republicans gathered yesterday, here from across the country to discuss the new administration. Will be talking about number of things, of course this comes one day after President Trump talked a lot about immigration, and building a wall, along the mexicous border. Now president saying that he might cancel his trip to washington next week because of that. So a lot of important topics, of course, the Affordable Care act, talking about as well, when he finally makes his way off the plane into motorcade and down things have been very busy at the loews hotel, Republican Leaders busy meeting all morning long, speaker of the house, paul ryan, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell addressed the press this morning at 9 30. And the rest of the day is packed, as women. The president was expect to speak at noon, obviously running little late right now. Later about 2 00 Vice President mike penned is scheduled to speak. He arrived here in philadelphia just a little bit before 11 00 this morning, because i happened to get stuck in a traffic jam on i95. You needed a motorcade. Landed at the airport, at 3 30 this afternoon the Prime Minister of the united kingdom, Prime Minister will take the stage. Now, many gop lawmakers remain optimistic at the prospects of the work they can do with this new president , as mr. Trumps only been in offers for the past few days. They hope to see trump focus on unity and results, you know, what, jim, there are a lot of protesters gathering to voice their concerns about this trump presidency, crowds gathered late last night, and started showing up again early this morning. And as meisha mentioned, there are many road closures, in effect, all around the loews hotel right now. Where the retreat is happening, 13th street, from chestnut to market, is closed, Market Street from 11th to juniper, and 12th from chestnut to arch is also closed. And if you take septa in that area, expect some changes, as well, for the president ial visit. Again, the president s been very busy since he was inaugurated. Here we go. Air force one door is evening right now. Take a look here. This is the first time the president has gone on air force one since this is his first major trip outside of washington after his inauguration. And we have to remember that pennsylvania, especially the philadelphia area, the Delaware Valley area, was pivotal in his election to the presidency. He visited it seems like every few days. He or mike pence were here in the area as well as Hillary Clinton during the campaign. I believe it was first time pennsylvania turned residence for george hw . Its been a while. The president really hasnt taken off muff time since the inauguration, executive actions hes taken since taking office friday. He immediately his First Executive order on Inauguration Day involved minimizing the economic burden of the Affordable Care act. That order allowed the secretary of health and Human Services and the heads of other departments to delay instrumentation of any new provisions in the Affordable Care act. He also signed a ruling if will that all pending regulations were to be frozen until they were proved by people directly by his administration or trump appointees. He scrapped Transpacific Partnership, big news, just few days ago. United states, it will be withdrawing from the Transpacific Partnership which former president obama negotiated with 11 other pacific nations. Hes expected to actually talk to congress about that today. He wants to start bilateral trade negotiations with most of the countries in the Transpacific Partnership pact earlier, as you mentioned, trump moved to pull the us out of the 12 nation specific agreement, which he said would be damaging for american workers. Trump says he wants to negotiate with countries individually. Now tuesday the president issued a memorandum, that prohibits Government Agencies from hiring any new employees effective january 22, order does not apply to military pernell and the head of any executive departments, they exempt any positions, that was taken, also days ago, he has there was some controversial decisions regarding advancing the Dakota Access and keystone ex he will pipelines. There was expedited review and approval of remaining construction on there. Thats probably going to be, you know, in the news over the next few days, as well. So a lot of controversy. You can see, a loft lawmakers optimistic, to hear from the new president , pick his brain, set out this new agenda on the right side of your screen, you see live picture now of the loews hotel and on the left side of course air force one awaiting the president s arrival. Wonder whats taking them so long. Not like he has to get his baggage or anything . I always wonder whats going on on the plane at this point. But as weve been talking about, even this morning, during our morning show, center city a place that you want to avoid if you dont have to be here in town right now. Absolutely. Whole entire area around the loews hotel, hi, high security there, as well. It is affecting mass transit. Of course as joe spoke few minutes ago, i think we will oh, here we go. Here is President Trump exiting air force one. Quick wave, and descending the staircase. It is interesting that the president will be speaking, here this weekend, when this week, and today, where he also signed an order to strip funding from sanction too area cities. You know, philadelphia. One of them. One of the 300, and mayor jim kenney as well as mayors across the country are saying theyre going to protect undocumented immigrants, who are arrested for nonviolent crimes, wont report them to federal officials, interesting few things, one thing happens in washington, and it has Ripple Effect across the country. But the president entering the limousine there, and again, the motorcade will begin to the loews hotel. You can see the press core everyone waiting for him. Number of road closures, also parking restrictions, pedestrian restrictions around the area, as well, and theyll be rolling roadblocks as well as the president s motorcade gets ready to roll away from phl. Okay, well, it will take the president probably about 15, 20 minute to get over to the loews hotel. We will be continuing to follow his motorcade throughout the rest of this broadcast, and we will breakin when he arrives at the loews hotel, we want you to stay with Eyewitness News, and cbsphilly.

Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Talk to your doctor about brilinta. Im doing all i can. That includes brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astra zeneca may be able to help.

President trump about to arrive at the loews hotel in center sit. I await willing the motorcade to arrive for the gop congressional retreat. Top republicans from across the country here to discuss goals in congress and the new administration, you can see a lot of Law Enforcement out there waiting for his arrival. Okay, yes, thats the loews hotel looking across the street over at Reading Terminal area. We go to joe holden right now over near city hall. We know there have been a lot of protests, gathering in morning, to voice their concerns about the trump presidency, good afternoon, joe. Good afternoon, we are watching this march stepoff here. We are right at market and 15th streets. Philadelphia police characterize this as very peaceful. Theyve been gathering for the last hour and a half over at pain plaza. They just left now. And are making their way down, seems, they might be turning at Market Street. Their signs are many. Most have been to president , many of the signs here have seen about not rolling back the Affordable Care act. So several hundred, at least, perhaps approaching a thousand now, theyre still streaming off the steps of the payne plaza the commissioner spoke within the hour. Good shape. I think were having a little problem with joes signal there. Again, hes right across from city hall, and as he was mentioning, many of the protesters are concerned about President Trumps First Executive order on Inauguration Day, which involved minimizing the economic burden of the Affordable Care act. What happened was the order allowed the secretary of health and Human Services and heads of other departments and agencies to wave or delay the implementation of any Affordable Care act provisions that would impose a financial burden, or any state or regulatory burden, on individuals. So this was, i think, what many people feel is the beginning of the dismantling of obamacare, the Affordable Care act. You heard joe say about a thousand people there today, last night, there were huge crowds, thousands of people, you know, voicing their concerns to the republican lawmakers, and now President Trump as he makes his way into center sit. I we go now to greg argos, who is standing by live at the loews hotel waiting for the president s arrival. Good afternoon again greg. Good afternoon there jim and jan. Like joe mentioned, there are a lot of protesters coming here towards Market Street. Right now in front of the low hotel you can see this is a very secure area not one person other than Law Enforcement, state, federal, secret service here awaiting President Trumps arrival. He is expected to arrive here in his motorcade any minute. You can see normally this section of the city during lunch hour, which it is right now, extremely busy right across the street from the septa center of course, but as you can see here, just awaiting game. As the president s motorcade is expected to arrive here. House and send sat at noon, that of course pushed back little bit. Which might mean that Vice President pence, 2 00 p. M. , joint session, is also delayed. But the president expected to arrive here in center city, normally a bustling time right now, but you can see, a live look at the loews hotel, very quiet, but very, very secure right now, as the secret service, federal officials, have this entire area locked down. The president s motorcade expected to arrive here any moment, of course, we will show you live pictures as soon as that happens. But, right now, just waiting for President Donald Trump to arrive here at the loews hotel for the gop retreat. Send it back to you guys in the studio. Where are you . Are you like in the fed ex store across the street . Usually when the president comes to visit the press is right there. But youre actually way across the way. That is the president , like you mentioned, jim, expected to arrive here. At the loews hotel, it is pretty quiet. Just philadelphia police, and federal state and secret service, Law Enforcement officers here, securing the area, as the president s motorcade makes its way here to center sit. I empty streets, but secure streets. Reminiscent of when the pope was here when all of the streets kind of cleared out. Exactly, but i think very interesting the press is being kept so far away.
