>> now they're reporting that the president is also about to begin implementing a strategy to go around congress with executive orders on everything from voting rights to climate change. it's not surprising given the gop lock on everything the president wants to accomplish. is this an effective strategy? >> it's effective to the extent that obama likes to say i'm doing everything in my power and work with congress if the no, i'll do everything through the executive action. the problem is that they're very limited in what he can actually do. most of big sweeping legislative ideas take congressional approval like immigration before he gets the pass to citizenship, he needs to vote on that. he can't do a bunch of stuff. that's a problem. that said, i think the white house has done this in the past. you know, they go out and say we're going to make regulatory changes. and so that's good. but it is also limited. >> all right. david, thanks so much for getting up with us this morning. >> thanks a lot. coming up, bill karins and
