frank and his team. they've pulled off an amazing deal. and it's supposed to close on april 30th. i assume it's going to. and i wish magic johnsonnheim people all the best. and i'll be in the stands cheering on the dodgers as i have since i was a young boy. i hated losing the deal, but we missed by only $700 million. we were almost there. >> some people say you could still get in there. >> i can still get in it? how? buy buying peanuts? i got to buy a lot of hot dogs to pay for that difference. >> you sure do. thanks. good to see you. >> off to a good start. all right. up next microsoft shares soaring right now. let's go beyond the earnings. the three things you need to know about the tech titan before you buy the stock. one of them involves facebook. hey, did you ever finish last month's invoices? sadly, no. oh. but i did pick up your dry cleaning and had your shoes shined. well, i made you a reservation at the sushi place around the corner. well, in that case, i better get back to these invoices... which i'll do right after making your favorite pancakes. you know what? i'm going to tidy up your side of the office. i can't hear

johnson. good to have you here. >> good morning, martha, thanks for having me on. martha: it is interesting, look at some names associated with this, jim webb, barney frank, others, bradmocrat from north carolina, dennis cardoza, california, all of them in very similar tones basically saying they think it may have been a mistake for the president to take on health care when he did and that they have real concerns about its electoral ramifications for their party? >> you're right. they do have buyer's remorse. i guess what they should have done is read the 2700 pages before they rammed it through in very partisan basis. now if they really want to know what the health care law is going to do, they have to read 15,000 pages. we added more than 12,000 pages to that 2700-page document. martha, this will be a disaster if the health care law actually gets implemented. let's keep our fingers crossed and hope the supreme court rules it unconstitutional and throw the entire law out so we can work toward real solutions. modest bills, smaller bills that actually fix the problem. martha: when you look at the electoral politics and you go back, to the 2012, 2010, i should say midte
