0 maybe a guy mixing some junior associate mixing cement on highway project. >> it's a small percentage and make a way that the public thinks you're doing something and hopefully bolsters low poll there is issue so much of what he is planning laying out in the state of the union has to do with executive orders. that you will see a lot of criticism and pushback from the republicans. jon: even 6.7% unemployment rate that you were talking about that number isn't real. last time around you had five times as many people leaving the workforce because apparently they can not find jobs as you had people get jobs. so that takes down the labor force participation rate. you get a better unemployment number because of it. >> right. not to mention how many people within the employment number are underemployed. there is while lot of different reasons that is not a good indicator of economic strength. i point back to the wealth gains since the recession. that is where you see people putting money back into the economy and having spending power to boost up the economy. we haven't had success in that area. jon: the white house numbers are pretty low. congress's numbers are even lower. if the two would work together to actually get something done you might see both of their numbers improve. >> you would. that is the problem with the president saying his plan is going to be issue executive orders. that is violating the take care clause, interestingly that is also the clause that lines out each year the president should give state of the union address before congress. i sort of think of that friendly reminder that speech is not supposed to be something enacting legislation. your role is to enforce it. you see more problems with that. that will create a stronger rift between the republicans and president. jon: framers the constitution didn't want a king. they didn't want one person deciding what the law of the land should be. that is why we have a congress. >> premise the administration tend to operate on they point to the house, that is why we're not able to get things done and they're stonewalling it. we were elected by people. we're trying to implement the people they want. people in the house stonewalling the way to pittsburgh. here in chicago as well. temperatures, they will be down into the negative 20s, 30s, 40s in the windchill, single digits in the negatives all across the region today. travel is being affected all across iowa. snow with snowdrift and wind covering complete whiteouts much of yesterday. across indiana as well, they're seeing a lot of same type of conditions. the mayor of indianapolis shut down city offices today. airports in chicago, more than 600 flights canceled so far today. the number is expected to continue to go out throughout the rest of the day as numbers continue. in iowa, it is so cold, that in dubuque, the ski resort, some of the best snow in recent winters, they're shut down for the second day just because of the bitter, bitter cold. now the average high today in anchorage, alaska, jenna, is 37 degrees. so a lot of people are thinking, alaska sounding like a good summer home. university of michigan, they canceled class today for the first time since 1978. university of notre dame as well. schools everywhere. jenna, look at this t-shirt. this is after about two minutes outside. you can hold it right up sideways. stiff as a board. you don't want to have a wet t-shirt out today. jenna: no wet t-shirt contests what the take away from the report is? >> not for me. not for me. jenna: maybe mother time. garrett, thank you very much. interesting experiment for us today. well that storm is threatening to bring snow, ice and subzero temperatures to a part of the country where folks are more familiar with air conditioners and sunscreen. maybe miami, for example, where meteorologist maria molina is from. you're used to that stuff, not necessarily this cold weather. >> even during winter months you typically think of sunshine. maybe short sleeves shirts out here, parts of the gulf coast. that is not the story today. we actually have winter storm warnings stretching for area as large as 1500 miles. so from eastern texas all the way up to southeastern parts of the state of virginia. you're talking about some form of ice accumulation or even snow accumulation. you can already see that sleet and freezing rain coming down across eastern texas, louisiana, mississippi and southern parts of alabama right you no at the moment. parts of the florida panhandle, including the city of tallahassee under a winter storm warning and ice storm warnings across eastern georgia including the city of savannah and charleston in south carolina. we have ice storm warning of accumulations expected to exceed a quarter of an inch, possibly more than a half of an inch of ice. that will be treacherous for people doing driving. it is recommended that you stay home. i do understand schools have been canceled for many people along parts of the gulf coast. timing on the storm system, it will be around the day today, around afternoon hours, evening hours, overnight. won't be until tomorrow morning people will look at much quieter weather. extreme earn parts of north carolina could look at snow by tomorrow morning. we're looking there for higher snowfall accumulations. we're talking about possibly over a half a foot of snow. locally some areas could look at a foot of snow. that is not out of the question. take a look at the extended forecast. we're not talking a long period of time. winter weather by saturday, in montgomery, alabama, the high temperatures could be 70 degrees, 69 degrees could be the high. quick warm-up. deal with it for now. keep in mind the weekend looks much better. jenna: nice for a little optimism. >> glass half-full. jenna: maria, thank you very much. jon: some towns will have to borrow snowplows from somebody. they don't have them. maria, thank you. for months president obama has been talking about income inequality as a growing problem for the economy but what inequality about income taxes?
