in the gray room is a table and it's the table upon which we are told john tyler served julia tyler breakfast in her bedroom after he had been around the house. after his horse back ride he will go to the table and have breakfast. also, her mother writes her and says, i understand from other people that visit you that you sleep until 9:00 in the morning that the president brings breakfast in bed. she said please do not take advantage of an elderly gentleman. in the afternoon julia writes to her mother frequently. her brothers, david and alexander who were students at princeton became upon the suggestion of mrs. gardener. her mother writes her back and said don't be so picky on minutia. she did love to entertain and we do have the record of a ball which she said. in her honor of her sister margaret who came here frequently, a portrait here is of julia and margaret. this port trait -- portrait was painted. anyway, the ball that she had for margaret started at 9:00. she says they danced the waltz until the sun rose. the finest champagne flowing. among one thing that julia did here for entertainm

john? >> tyler, pandora slipped into the negative. apple is down 3%. today google is up. google play music all access. the first big service announcement here. access to google's whole catalog of music. lots and lots of titles for $9.99 a month. $7.99 if you sign up before june 30th. launching in the u.s. first. this is a strike not just at apple but also at pandora's and spot if is. there are lists of music and radio stations that you can create. this is in the context that android is the strongest mobile eco-system. chrome is the strongest web browser. both of those are important platforms. also announced 900 million android activations. more announcements coming. sue? >> john, thank you very much. the dough is up 64 points on the trading session. nasdaq is up 9 points. the transportation average is up another 55 points. delta is saying it expects improved profits. southwest boosting its different end three to four cents a share. joining me here on the floor is bob pisani. good to see you. we talked about the debate on the floor about the fed tapering back. they are sta

john? >> tyler, starkly different economic messages from the white house and from house republicans today.nt obama went to austin, texas, to push the message that was contained in his budget, which is that the key for the growth of the middle class, growth of the economy, is economic growth, as indicated by two executive orders, one of which would expand government data sharing for businesses and also would foster the creation of manufacturing centers. he says that government action is necessary to encourage the growth of the middle class. >> part of our challenge, you've got to try to see the same kind of seriousness of purpose in your leaders, from washington to wall street. all of us have to commit ourselves to doing better than we're doing now. and all of us have to rally around the single greatest challenge that we face as a country right now, and that's reigniting the true engine of economic growth, a rising, thriving middle class. >> now, republicans on the other hand in the house of representatives are pushing a message of austerity. they puassed a bill earlier tody that would allo

john harwood, tyler, john, handicap what we heard from the president? >> we just heard that he doesn't think we need a special prosecutors. republicans have in the next phase of their response have called for a special prosecutor to look into what happened the president said that the jcriminl investigation that the justice department has started, that we don't need that. certainly past administrations when they have appointed special councils or prosecutors have often found them a burden later on because they extend for a very long time. >> do you expect that people on the gop side who have been raising those concerns and calling for a special council or a special prosecutor will cease and desist on that? >> i absolutely don't think they will cease and desist but the president is try fog say that by all the actions i have taken including firing the active irs commissioner and his boss is gone, having been appointed, served a five-year term and left office. i think the president drew that line there and i would not expect him to waiver. >> the turkish pr

john? >> yeah, tyler. big, big day for google. stock up better than 3%. on the other hand, rivals apple down more than 3%. part of the reason why, one of the big announcements from google was a new music service. google play music all access. the pitch here similar to services like spotify is all the music an google's catalog. app users disposal for $9.99 a month. rolling out in the u.s. first. starting june 30th. what's -- well, if you sign up by june 30th, you get the service for a little bit cheaper. what's interesting about this, there's a radio component to it which competes with folks like spotify and pandora. taking a step back, there was more than just music announced here. google also talked about the service that they want to expand google plus, lots of new photo and video sharing features. and overall, this was not about hardware as much as it was last year. last year we talked more about streaming music through the device and this was squarely about services. they rolled out a new version of maps that will be out later in the summer. back to y

john tyler, who gets kicked out of the whig party, and they're not able to win presidential race.so literally in all their existence the whigs have the presidency for 30 days. so a lot of them are eager for a win. this person is closer to our beliefs, or this person can win, and this is something that political parties were still struggle with even under the second party system in the 1840s. so what are the other issues? well, shortly before the commencement of the mexican mexican-american wars polk runs for the presidency and wins on the expansionist platform, manifest destiny. americans are debt citizenned to go to the performing and debt destined to grow, and he is going to adjust the border with oregon. so oregon at this point is being administered jointly with the united kingdom. polk backs out of the treaty, decides we're going -- remember, 54, 40 or fight. that was the line of latitude they were going to stick to of course, didn't come close. that line of latitude was well into british columbia, almost to alaska. but we have this brand new territory of oregon, and anytime t

first, john, fill us in. >> tyler, how do you value something like tumblr. we can look to acquisitions. youtube was serving up 100 million videos a day. today the number is more than 4 billion videos. hard to put a price tag on that. another question is suggesting growth peeked in november. who said numbers are wrong. plus, quantity cast measures mainly brouser traffic. >> thank you very much. >> who might be next. a possible acquisition target. >> that's right, tyler. these kinds of acquisitions don't need to be profitable as we saw with tumblr. so here are four social mobile services. twitter with 200 million active users. but with the roughly 10 billion $valuation, twit ser more likely to go public it's valuation was about $600 million as of last year. what's app has as many as 200 billion miss sajs a day make it bigger than twitter. and then there is social location based traffic service. it has reportedly drawn interest again for a price tag of about $1 billion. 36 million drivers submitting reports. now we will have more on hot potential acquisition ta

tyler, politically an interesting moment here was when senator john mccain had to jump in and sort of leap to the defense of carl levin here, john mccain, a republican, former presidential candidate. tyler? >> aman, it's susie here. a lot of tough conversation back and forth. how do you think apple came out through all of this and tim cook in particular? do you think apple's reputation was hurt by this hearing today? >> reporter: i don't. i think there was less damage done here to apple than a lot of folks in washington expected, particularly given the tough revelations in that senate report that came out last night. the senate report said apple created three companies around the world that were not legal tax residents of any country anywhere in the world. that was the first time these senate investigators had seen anything like that. a lot of people were heaping praise on the company and holding up their iphones and how great they thought iphone was. >> fascinating to watch. thank you so much, reporting coming up a little later in the program, how many other big corporations are taki

john? >> well, one of the things that happened, tyler, at this hearing was that lois learner who was going to be the first new witness to provide something that we had not heard before. her sper speculative as manager. that produced this exchange on the committee chair. >> i will not answer any question about the subject matter of the committee's meeting. >> we will take your refusal as a refusal to testify, the witness and council are dismissed. >> now the result of that is that we didn't get anything additional from lois learner, although the committee did get her testimony to the ig. what she had said when he was investigating what happened. repeated the administration's line. they didn't know about the misconduct when it was happening and they are acting to construct it now. one of the things we have seen on a bipartisan basis is frustration at members that the irs officials had not been more forthcoming after testifying that there was no targeting once they learned that there was improper conduct taking place. here is steven lynch of massachusetts letting one of the witnesses have it.

john manly. great to see you again, how are you? >> very well, tyler. good to see you. >> is this what we're seeing in the last couple of days, the beginning of the widely expected correction that we've been predicting for so long? >> i think this is a buying opportunity. i can't give you guarantees about one or two percent. there's still a lot of money waiting to get in. the market goes down very quickly on minor bad news which says to me people are still itchy. >> they are feeling itchy. they're also very nervous. nay don they don't like this volatility. what should investors do or not do during this phase of volatility? >> decide where you want to be in a year or two or how you want to retire. i think that's really important. yield is a very, very important commodity going forward. >> one of the things i noticed, john, is that generally, as a baseline, you think 65% in equities is a good place to start, given the growth potential there. but you've got 5% in cash, and nothing, nothing in bonds with the remaining 30% or so in what you describe as alter

john harwood joins us from washington with more. how common is it for lobbyists to play a big role in writing legislation or regulations? >> reporter: pretty common, tyler and the reason is that the industries have a lot of expertise and many industries hire as their lobbyists people who worked on the very committees that are doing the legislation in question. so it'a very cozy relationship. this is why they call it washington's revolving door. it's been going on for quite a long time. it works both ways to the benefit of business which is something especially when republicans are in control of the house, is an aid to business. campaign contributions help with that. organized labor, environmental groups, people who align with the democratic party do the same thing. >> this is news to most americans. how should we respond to this? should we be angry or should we be pleased they are working together? >> reporter: well there is something to be said for the expert us the that they bring to the table. but i think the important thing is disclosure and transparency so people know what's going on and my colleagues in the "new york times" came out with a report

tyler, back to you. >> i'll take it. thank you very much. today's "closing bell" exchange, jeff kleintop, john meryl, and our own rick santelli. welcome to one and all. quint, let me begin with you. you have been, you say, relatively cautious for some time now. and you still have a lot of your assets in cash, dry powder. what would it take to make you put some of that money to work and why are you so defensive now? >> it's been tough. it's been to our detriment that we've been overly cautious to see this market on a tear. quite frankly, we didn't put a lot of faith and credit that the fed would be able to push this as high as it's gone. now that it's broken out, it's tough to argue with the strength in the market. we still believe that there are a lot of areas that are very, very extended, that are propelling the indices higher. so it's very tough to put a lot of capital to work. but we're finally, finally starting to see some value, i think what you're going to hear over the next several weeks is we're going to start to see the inflation trade start to rear its head. now, i don't think you're
