>> well, my friend herb greenberg who writes reality check who appears on cnbc has said that guidancehat exceptional. it's the idea that maybe pricing has peaked in some of the divisions. i think micron is a stock i have to do a toss-up and figure out which one is right. it does have a little bit more of a kentucky feel than a uconn feel right now. you know that i want you investing in the stock market. i understand that everyone has a different budget they're working with. so this week we're looking at great stocks in every price range and starting from sky high yesterday with priceline and in the $100 range hitting the ball out of the park. tomorrow we zero in on the $50 range. don't go anywhere, because alcoa kicked off earnings season and i have the ceo coming right up. stay with cramer. >>> tomorrow, kick off the trading day with "squawk on the street." live from post 9 at the nyse. >> oh, okay. that was -- oh, i get it. >> it all starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern. at your ford dealer think? they think about tires. and what they've been through lately. polar vortexes, road construction

james carville, is not exactly the white house's favorite strategist or analyst, and carville and greenberg have been saying this for years. they told the president and the democrats not to talk about recovery in 2010. i think they told them not to talk about it in 2012. they're telling them that again, but, of course, if you have no offense at all, you're only on defense all the way along the way, and there are places to say things, and there are things to be said of positive news. it is true that the overall numbers of what's happened to real wages of middle class people, those numbers don't lie, and they say that both men and women have fallen back in recent years. still, you have to make a case of some kind, and i don't think the -- i think the white house and the democrats will try to do it where they can, whatever james and stan have to say. >> yeah. speaking of numbers, howard, there's a new poll out today, washington post, abc poll that i am sure you have seen. not great for the president or democrats. having his approval now at 41% down from 46% to the last three months of this yea

. >> herb greenberg apparently is technologically ready, had to put on some pants. herb, thank you for joining us. normally you would be outraged by this kind of thing. right? if you're a small kpip afraid someone's going to take you over, influence you, i can understand it. nobody's taking over google. for the life of me i'm trying to understand what they're fear is? >> look at apple and look what you have with apple with activists. a piece on the street saying right now as much as -- you side with kornt governance people on almost everything on this one it doesn't really matter and i don't really care and think it's okay to have no voting rights, because as an investor, nobody's sticking a gun against your head and saying you've got to buy the stock. putting faith in management. if you don't like the company, get out to another company. you're seeing because of so many activists now coming in and swooping in for short-term gain, or at least seeing an uptick in that trend, seeing companies like siozulily come out. because of the activist front, the down side, of co

for those concerned about political backlash, an gra greenberg argues there is little evidence in mostgalization. we've moved in into a frame not ideological, a system being broken, not working and legalization involves strict regulation that would allow the state to collect revenues. that makes sense to the kind of voters that electived are concerned about. if that's the way it's being discussed it's not a liability for a politician. i think she's on to something. take note, people have already einvolved on the issue of pot. when will you? all right. that does it for "the cycle." "now with alex wagner" starts now. >> daryl issa channels the ghost of joe mccarthy. thursday, april 10th and this is "now." >>> the witch hunt gets spookier. daryl issa's house oversight and government reform committee took the rare and historic step of voting to hold a witness in contempt of congress. in this particular instance, that witness is lois learner, the object of chairman issa's year-long multimillion dollar crusade to find something, anything, iffy at the irs. republicans who have chosen to march

my friend herb greenberg who writes the reality check for the street.com was saying to people, listenere are issues here that have to do with the affordable care spending. do hospitals have enough money? i think that this is a revolutionary device. i see the stock going higher, i see it getting back in favor. i think it can still go higher. but don't be greedy! because the stock is at a high. i think it can probably go up another 10% and then. it's final four "mad money" style, people. first and second seeds, the s&p, nabors versus tyson foods, nbr is the winner. tomorrow we'll see who they face after the naz showdown. you know what, the final game,. humans. even when we cross our "ts" and dot our "i's", we still run into problems. that's why liberty mutual insurance offers accident forgiveness with our auto policies. if you qualify, your rates won't go up due to your first accident. because making mistakes is only human, and so are we. we also offer new car replacement, so if you total your new car, we'll give you the money for a new one. call liberty mutual insurance at... and ask u

look, brian, democratic strategist dan greenberg and jim carville who famous folks are out with some research now saying "be careful, democrats, accepting conventional wisdom on the aca and 2014 being a republican year whash. what do you think about the notion that the democrats are out running, especially the vulnerable dems running in red states, should they reject the conventional wisdom and stop fearing that the aca that bottom care could derail their campaigns? >> i've seen this moment coming for mows. unless the roll-out had been so bad that the insurance expansion had been negligle, then you have a political disaster and a policy disaster on your hands, and there's nothing a vulnerable democrat can do or say to spin that away. having set in point and rolled through the exchanges and growing a lot of people on medicaid, a lot of people in their parents' plans, and republicans not able to say much more than we want to repeal all that, that's actually a really strong rett cal position for democrats. i mean, republicans, if you look at it that way, are really boxed into a canyon t
