12:00 pm
hurricane warnings are stretching up and down the coast. julie martin is joining us. julie? >> right now arthur is still a category 1 hurricane winds at 90 miles per hour and we are expecting the storm to strengthen within the next several hours. it's on the move east-northeast at 13 miles per hour. here's a look at the winds. wilmington getting winds up into the 20s. charleston sustained at 30 miles per hour and at sea we have some of the buoys clocking at 50 miles per hour. the crunch time is really going to be tonight into early tomorrow morning on the fourth of july. by this evening, being looking at possibly a category 2 storm. so winds up over 96 miles per hour as it approaches the outer banks of north carolina.
12:01 pm
cape hatteras looking like ground zero here and we expect the timeline late tonight as a category 2 hurricane. beyond that, the hurricane does race out to sea. nonetheless, still packing hurricane-strength winds friday evening as it is offshore and skips by boston. that's enough already for the folks there to postpone the fireworks and hold them -- they are holding them tonight instead of tomorrow night. beyond that, nova scotia and newfoundland. the forecast is in agreement and we are looking at a landfalling hurricane along the outer banks. the preparations are under way. there are tropical storm warnings and hurricane arngs. the orange here, tropical storm warnings south of myrtle beach up through wilmington. but beaufort, you're being
12:02 pm
looking at hurricane warnings and mandatory evacuations for many places are in place. hatteras is not allowing anyone in or out there. highway 12 is a major concern in terms of wash-over. here's a look at the rainfall we can expect with arthur. in general, 1 to 2 inches as we head up north towards norfolk. there at the outer banks, 3 to 5 inches and certainly coastal flooding will also be an issue, particularly once the storm passes north of hatteras. the winds are going to shift in direction and they are going to become more normally atherly an looking looking a potential of flooding there. 2 to 3 inches of rain as we head into wilmington and myrtle as well. the good news is that after tomorrow morning, all of this does push out to sea and we're looking at clearing skies. but in its wake we'll see very rough seas and that is bad news
12:03 pm
for vacationers. the rip currents are up this weekend throughout the weekend. stay out of the water, if possible. >> the weather channel's julie martin, thank you very much. we're going to go back to sarah dallof who is joining us in wrightsville. we hear that the weather is go to make an about-face. >> reporter: that is a great statement. we have two evacuations, one mandatory and one voluntary. here at kill devil hills, it's the calm before the storm. beach goers are trying to get as much fun in the sun. many we have spoken to are opting to hunker down and wait out the storms and stores reflect that. they are selling supplies, gasoline, batteries if power goes out. officials are urging people to be cautious, to stay out of the water where potentially
12:04 pm
dangerous rip currents are with 250,000 visitors expected here, any swimming and danger there could be potentially deadly. a recipe for disaster. as north carolina's governor is warning those who are opting to stay, quote, don't put on your stupid hat. it's not the most he will eloquent statement but it's getting to the point. weather is not the only thing that americans are facing. a surge in travel on the road, it's a three-day holiday. it's kind of nice. boston is the number one destination this year, according to trip adviser. you better hit the road soon,
12:05 pm
ari. make sure to avoid arthur. overall, let's bring in travel and leisure editor amy farley. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> what are sort of the big travel trends, in general? >> well, for the fourth, boston is a huge destination. we're holding out hope that new york is not wet fireworks tomorrow. and then also heading down to florida, south florida around miami, orlando is a huge destination for the fourth and in general. fire morks over the magic castle, who can avoid that. and then you can find more affordable prices for hotels which is good for summer travel. >> what about the folks who say i wish i would have booked a summer trip and now it's a holiday. what do you suggest? >> travel zoo upgrades travel packages and deals for
12:06 pm
last-minute travel and they have packages to waikiki if you want to go there. >> totally in. >> or adiosos is a search tool for airfares and they let you search for any parameters. you can search dates, you can just say somewhere warm. i was looking for flights out of new york city, you can get to san juan puerto rico for $400 leaving tomorrow and returning on monday. >> so for those of us who love the holiday but hate the traffic, what are the times to think about leaving? how do you monitor those types of things when you're on the road? any apps that you can think about? >> expect that there will be more traffic on the road from 6:00 to tomorrow. >> especially at this point, right? >> so right now, if not puerto
12:07 pm
rico, you need going geogle maph has user generated traffic updates. they can tell you if there's an upcoming accident and where the traffic is slowing down. i was in kuala lumpur last week which was terrible for traffic and it got me around. it's a fantastic resource nationally. >> a lot of this sounds like high-level stuff for people who know what they want and where they are going. and then there is summer guilt. you wake up and realize it's already the july 4th weekend. there's seven weeks of summer left. i haven't planned enough. i don't know where i want to go or what i want to do. how do you help people narrow with a little built of a budget, what do i want to do and get good ideas? >> there's a lot of tools right now where we call these types of travelers the destination
12:08 pm
agnostic traveler. they don't know where they want to go but roughly when they want to go. there's a new tool called google flight explorer. it's like adioso. you can punch in dates and start exploring with broad parameters. you can say europe, somewhere warm and google flight explorer will map out literally the days in sort of graph format where the airfare is the most affordable. for last-minute travelers, for ind continue decisive people like me -- >> united airlines, much to my shag gr shagrin, is changing their frequent flyer miles to just beyond the dollars that you spend. >> exactly. >> people aren't going to be very happy about this. >> no. delta made this change earlier in the year and basically united is drafting off of delta. yeah.
12:09 pm
they are tieing your status with airlines to how much you spend with the airline, not how many miles you accrue and after the american airlines and u.s. air merger clears up, they are going to be doing this as well. i think travelers will be a little bit more price sensitive and less loyal to carriers because this is definitely a blow. >> and then you see this thing if you buy our credit card or something we'll get you one free bag on the flight. it's insulting. >> yeah. >> what? i won't have to pay for a bag one time? i don't remember when you got a bag checked for free. >> i hear about the days when people dressed up to travel. >> i do a straight velour jumpsuit. >> he's known for his fashion, celebrating the red, white, and blue. >> thank you guys so much. up next, the jobs report comes early for the fourth and
12:10 pm
sets off some fireworks on wall street. "the cycle" rolls on on this july 3rd. a few hours left before july 4th weekend. [ male announcer ] if you had a dollar for every dollar car insurance companies say they'll save you by switching, you'd have, like, a ton of dollars. but how are they saving you those dollars? a lot of companies might answer "um" or "no comment." then there's esurance. born online, raised by technology and majors in efficiency. so whatever they save, you save. hassle, time, paperwork, hair-tearing out, and, yes, especially dollars.
12:11 pm
esurance. insurance for the modern world. now backed by allstate. click or call. sfx: car unlock beep. insurance for the modern world. vo: david's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one.
12:12 pm
if you've had a heart attack be sure to talk to your doctor
12:13 pm
we have now seen the fastest job growth in the united states since 1999. so we've seen the quickest drop in unemployment in 30 years. so it gives you a sense that the economy has -- >> regular "cycle" viewers, it
12:14 pm
is jobs report time. we know today is actually thursday but because "the cycle" won't be on tomorrow, friday the 4th, they moved the jobs report to thursday, just for us. well, maybe it was a fact, that might have had something to do with if. but i digress. what a report it was the u.s. created a net gain 88,000 new jobs and the employment rate is down to the lowest since way back in 2008. "the cycle" was just a twinkle in somebody's eye. we bring in the dynamic duo and long-term unemployed, i did want to talk politics with you jared. we've got such good jobs numbers over the past three years -- three or four months, a really steady trend over the past few years, why haven't we seen the
12:15 pm
president getting a bump because of the improving economy? >> i think the economy, to the extent it's getting better, the gdp was a big negative. that's an out lier. it's not going to stick. i think this kquestion that you're asking has to do with wage and income growth. it's going to take a dieter job market to ensure that the benefits of growth were down to middle and lower income people. it takes pretty full employment to kind of steer more of that growth their way. so that's part of -- certainly part of the explanation. >> peter, participation rate and long-term unemployment are often linked together because they feed off of each other and what could be dangerous about this is it can have a real psychological impact. if you're out of jobs for a week and others are not able to land
12:16 pm
a job, you lose that motivation. when jobs numbers drop like they did last month in june, does that also have a motivating effect? >> i don't know that the jobless pay attention to the numbers. what they know is if they can find a position. you asked if the benefit wasn't benefiting more. there was a study that came out that of the 5.6 million jobs created, all of them have gone to new arrivals. immigrants, more legal and undocumented, there is still long-term unemployment among the men ages 25 to 54. 1 out of 6 don't work and so forth. remember, the kind of number we have today we should be happy about. it's better. but not the kind that jared and i associate with really good times. when you go back to the reagan years, you're talking 4 to
12:17 pm
500,000 jobs a month. you're going to start to see that kind of psychological impact and those people are going to get off the bempl and go back to work. >> quick question. if a year from now are we going to get an optimistic number from you? >> if we get optimistic numbers 4, to 500,000 jobs a month, you will get a good, optimistic piece. go back to june 27th. didn't i write a piece that said u.s. economy poised for growth? that was only five days ago. didn't you see that one? >> i'm glad you mentioned that, peter. i have a vote from that piece tattooed on my neck. >> one thing to be concerned about is if you actually did see employment growth of that magnitude, the eyebrows of the federal reserve would get raised very quickly and one of the things that i think we all have to be mindful of, particularly those setting interest rate
12:18 pm
policy, is to not take out the fire hose and try to stop things before we really have had a chance for the recovery to take hold and to reach deeper into the middle class and to lower income households. >> this is where we disagree. >> jared, you are reading my mind because what i was taking away from these numbers is we're seeing a strong second quarter. people are talking about 3 to 3.5% job growth. the dow just hit 17,000 today. it's a record high. people in the market are talking about the federal reserve is going to start to raise interest rates sooner than their target but janet yellen comments, she made comments that she wasn't really focused on asset bubbles and she's not looking at the markets and she's looking at the broader economic metrics. what do you think interest rates are going to do? >> i think janet yellen really gets this in a profound way. you very correctly describe there are basically two
12:19 pm
economies out there. one represents corporate profitability, the numbers that you cited earlier and the other represents everybody else. by the way, there's a lot more people in everybody else than there is in the first group and in fact we know that the growth that we've had really has alluded middle and lower income families and one of the points that i've been making so far throughout our discussion is that, yes, it's a great thing that the job market is tightening but it's going to have to get tighter still before it reaches more people, before prosperity is readily used. >> you mentioned the clinton years. this is the first time now that we've hit five consecutive job growth over 200,000 per month since the clinton era of 2000. that's got to count for something. >> it certainly does count for something. i think we can raise interest rates moderately now without
12:20 pm
having an effect on this economy. >> why would you want to do that? >> the core cpi is still below 2%. >> let's do -- if you do year-over-year. if you look at the last three months, both indicators have been accelerating, including the core at a disturbing rate. >> janet yellen is looking at wage growth, not inflation. >> a steady 2% on wages, you're right. >> my point is, if you let it get too far out of hand, you have to hit the brakes hard. these are abnormally low interest rates and we want to get to a situation where they are normalized. >> it's a balancing act. >> it seems to be contradictory. we're not getting job growth.
12:21 pm
peter morici and jared bernstein, thank you. up next, sheryl sandberg and what she's actually saying about the facebook move. and i want to mention something that i'm excited about. we started a live web stream show every wednesday at msnbc. as part of that show, we started a book club called book friends. this week our book is echoed by best-selling author from the "kite runner" author. head to thecycle.msnbc.com. he'll be posting his answers next week. there's still more "cycle" ahead. and you're talking to your rheumatologist about a biologic... this is humira.
12:22 pm
this is humira helping to relieve my pain. this is humira helping me lay the groundwork. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. humira is proven to help relieve pain and stop further joint damage in many adults. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. take the next step.
12:23 pm
talk to your doctor. this is humira at work. are the largest targets in the world, for every hacker, crook and nuisance in the world. but systems policed by hp's cyber security team are constantly monitored for threats. outside and in. that's why hp reports and helps neutralize more intrusions than anyone... in the world. if hp security solutions can help keep the world's largest organizations safe, they can keep yours safe, too. make it matter.

12:25 pm
hurricane king arthur is not the only storm that we're tracking this fourth of july eve. there is some very severe weather that is beginning to pop right now. let's get back to meteorologist julie martin at the weather channel. what are you seeing right now? >> eventually this cold front will interact with hurricane arthur. not yet. this is the cold front itself causing these storms to fire up. we're under a severe thunderstorm watch over a largely populated area of the country stretching from the north carolina to virginia border until 10:00 this evening. travel is not going to be fun here in the northeast corridor if you're trying to get out for the weekend. there are three-hour delays at the newark airport because of the weather. check out the yellow warnings
12:26 pm
stretching from the d.c. area through upstate new york. taking a closer look at this one, this is from manassas and manassas park. wind is at 60 miles per hour and there is hail and damaging wind and then here in central p.a., also the state college area getting hit hard with a round of storms as the cold front pushes across. this goes until 3:30 p.m. a heads up for you. towards the northerly side, it pushes through. you'll get relief in the northeast as you start the holiday weekend. 92 in washington, d.c.. 89 in philly. 80s in new york. very hot and humid for you. you'll see it cool things down but trigger storms throughout the weekend. taking a look at the clock, you see friday at 8:00 in the
12:27 pm
morning still waking up to showers along the i-90 corridor stretching up into maine. by the way, this front starts to combine a bit with hurricane arthur passing well off shore. that's not the concern. the concern is that it's going to be a dreary day, at least the first part of the day in the northeast. by fireworks time, as we hit around 9:00, 10:00 at night here, we start to clear out from new york to washington, d.c.. should be in jeopardy for the fireworks. boston, you've already altered your plans and you're having your fireworks tonight because it looks like a dreary night in boston until the storm exits and moves on to nova scotia as we move through the holiday weekend. we're looking at a gorgeous holiday weekend. we just have to get all of this bad weather out of the way over the next 24 to 36 hours. back to you. >> julie martin, thanks a lot. sheryl sandberg has issued
12:28 pm
an apology for a controversial study. they manipulated the news feeds of 500,000 news feeds. speaking of the "wall street journal," sandberg did not regret conducting the study but apologized that the news made people upset. that's ironic since that was one of the emotions that they were trying to manipulate users into feeling. i've been upset about this story. in full disclosure, i worked with sheryl sandberg in the clinton administration and i know her and i think she's an impressive executive. my concern is, when you think about trust and corporate trust, the technology industry actually enjoys a very high degree of trust. the highest trusted sector in the world. >> that's a great point. >> 79% of people say they trust
12:29 pm
technology and banks are at the bottom. so i think facebook has sort of played on its goodwill a bit and sheryl -- and spur behavior that was harmful to themselves or other people and i really feel like this was a much bigger deal than tinkering with product testing. >> i think a lot of people have had this reaction. it feels like you're manipulated without even knowing about it. >> you are. >> in full disclosure, i don't use facebook much anymore. they may see a trend in that direction we're living in a world here where we're losing more and more of our privacy and the companies have the leverage here. they know that they can get away
12:30 pm
with this stuff. when they send out that terms of agreement or whatever it is, that we signed when we logged into facebook seven years ago for me, that it makes it okay for them to do what they are doing today. you know more about this than i do but it seems like a few things need to happen. one is government regulation like we've seen them do on text messag messag messages and e-mails and there's a responsibility from the media to inform what is going on. i think it's great that we're having this debate and you brought this up to some of the ladies and they said what? i can't believe i didn't know about this. it's really important that people understand that this is going on. >> the biggest rebuttal you hear from people is one that talks about personal responsibility. you signed the terms of use. that's really misplaced because that's a view that only looks at person personal action. when target has a security breach, we don't say, hey,
12:31 pm
you've got to be careful with that target card. it's worthless and dangerous. no. and that thing that you sign with them is a contract. but it's not a contract that is negotiated. they even say that they can unilaterally change it at any time and you are proactively automatically agreeing to whatever. >> yes. >> what you said about sheryl sandberg, it's not personal to her. this is a company invoking that contract and saying that meant they had preauthorization to emotionally manipulate their users. they are in minority on that. most of the users didn't read it that way. they thought the reference of testing meant testing the site out, not testing how bug you get when they keep showing you that your friend's dog died and that's interesting and then a year or two from now they are going to be selling you
12:32 pm
something. >> there's one thing that we know we're being manipulated by advertisers all the time. we're aware of that. we know what they are doing. it's funny to watch my daughter when she doesn't have that awareness and she's like, this thing is great, mom. it's going to do all of these things for me. you're going to go on and get the news that was appropriate for you and they were not putting their finger on the scale that was there. it changes the way that you viewed the product itself. so to your point, susan, i think it really does erode that trust in the product and ari, i love your idea about the people's terms of service and it reminds me of the justification and what people were signing and it was
12:33 pm
in clause 15 so you should be what you're referring to. >> none of us ever do that. >> there needs to be ethical standards on how companies are functioning like this. just like the biotech in a decade or so ago. >> there's a lot of things that talk about the context you'll integrity of information. the fact that you want to share something, it's our anniversary, i'm putting it on facebook, does not mean that you want a corporation to sell a flower's ad. that's the exact thing they got in trouble a few years ago. this happens repeatedly because facebook is looking for ways to monetize us. >> and we want to get everything for free. >> and we don't want to pay for
12:34 pm
it. >> that's true. >> we've clearly got it all figured out here. up next, president obama unplugged. while congress is away, obama has his say. you want to hear him unleash on wall street coming up next. avo: waves don't care what age you are. take them on the way you always have. live healthy and take one a day men's 50+. a complete multivitamin with 7 antioxidants to support cell health. age? who cares. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses,

12:37 pm
you hear that? president obama is celebrating independence day with a barbecue and fireworks with military families at the white house tomorrow. meanwhile, this week marks something of an escalation of the president's political independence. >> i've given a number of examples over the last several months of things we know would work if we are investing and rebuilding our infrastructure. if we are serious about increasing the minimum wage, making sure there's equal pay for equal work, that child care is accessible and affordable and high quality, we can make even more progress if congress is
12:38 pm
willing to work with my administration and to set politics aside, at least occasionally. >> kind of a random nondescript room that he was speaking to there. our numbers stuck around 40%, that's up from an all-time low last year but down from his first year highs. what is difference is the jobs' steady cline. as they used to ask back in revolutionary russia, what is to be done? how are you doing, buddy? >> hi, ari. good to see you. >> any good plans for the fourth? >> just celebrating america. >> good for you. that was ari, clearly. >> you sound excited about that. >> very excited. >> let's talk about this idea. there is some growth and economic improvement. no one is saying it's perfect but it doesn't seem like potus is getting any credit for it
12:39 pm
yet. >> not at all. some of this we can just point to structural issues. the second-term curse. he's six years in. americans are kind of bored of him. he hates washington. but then he's also caused a lot of this mess himself with the healthcare.gov and the v.a. scandal. that's what americans are paying attention to. the number one story they are focusing on more than the world cup or anything. so he can't catch a break here at all. the white house is happy about the numbers but it's not enough to turn things around for them, i don't think. >> alex, do you think the level of frustration sent him over the edge a little bit? i want to play a clip of him taking a swipe at wall street yesterday. >> more and more, the money generated on wall street is based on arbitrage trading bets as opposed to investing in companies that actually make something and hire people. we have to continue to see how
12:40 pm
can we rebalance the economy sensibly so that we have a banking system that is doing what it is supposed to be doing to grow the real economy. >> so that's the first time that he's actually made public comments, kind of going after wall street again. further on in that interview he was talking about banks taking on much too much risk still and not rebalancing, as he said, in the real economy. to me, i'm sort of amused because that's the first public comments first post-op frank. he hasn't talked about wall street in a critical way and he talks about unfinished business. is this him saying forget i'm going to talk about what i want or more for the midterm elections. >> this is a guy who has been so careful, so calculated going all the way back to the illinois state senate and here he is in washington not being able to do anything he wants to do, it's hot, humid, there's a hurricane coming.
12:41 pm
i think he's in like the yolo phase of his presidency. his favorite term is the bear is loose. he goes to chipotle. he's showing glimpses of a real human being under the presidency. we see it every so often and now he's becoming liberated. he can be a little more off the cuff. >> i see the frustration. as you're pointing out, alex, it also seems like he's enjoying himself. alex, going back to those bad numbers that came out this week for him with folks saying that he's a worse president than nixon, worse than george w. bush after katrina, i don't think any objective person could actually look at this president and his record, digging us out of what was very merely a catastrophic depression, passing health care
12:42 pm
reform. he has done real things in office and maybe he's in a rut right now but i don't think any objective person could say that he's worse than w and worse than nixon. all government institutions in particular and we are so partisan, so hyper partisan and divided that it doesn't matter which president is in place, no one is going to get soaring approval ratings anymore. >> i think there's two things going on here. one of them is definitely that and there was another article out showing they don't trust any part of government. any other part of that is a fact of memory and what's not to approve of and i think the statement will happen for obama. when you ask top of mind, they don't think of nixon, bush, gerald ford or jimmy carter.
12:43 pm
it comes more easy to mind and you have a quick reaction there. things are not going particularly well. one of the best news for the white house is that they are getting sued by the white house. >> actually, though, i want to jump in on that. that is the best news they've received all week. they've raked in a ton of cash because of this house -- this house republican lawsuit against the president and nbc news has reported that they have raised more than $2.5 million just from 118,000 online donations, including 30,000 first-time donors. let me remind you, this is just over a six-day period when the story became public and ousted the concern that i had. they look terrible in the aftermath of the outcome of that. >> yeah. definitely. this is all about base, right? they are not trying to do this to tally win anything in court. this is going to take years to
12:44 pm
do anything, even if it they do anything at all. it's about getting their own base to the polls in 2014. they tried this with doma when the attorney general and department of justice said they were not going to protect doma. the house spent $2.4 million and failed. they are trying to do it again here. but i think when the house sues and that's the best that they can do and the best is for the white house is that they are going to get sued. >> it's a sad state of affairs. >> it's a sad state of affairs, indeed. >> if at first you don't succeed, try again. try again. alex, have a happy fourth. up next, just in time for the fourth, bring on the hot dogs. actually, bring out the hot dogs. our intern melissa is going to join us to talk about one of america's favorite foods, next.
12:45 pm
the cadillac summer collection is here. ♪ ♪ during the cadillac summer's best event, lease this 2014 ats for around $299 a month and make this the summer of style. ♪ hi, credit report site andour i have a problem. i need to speak with your fraud resolution department.
