we know charlie gasparino is all over this. charlie, what is going on here? we should point out two things. number one, the u.s. attorney from san francisco, which is i guess, where tesla where, musk has his home base is going after this investigation is almost pro forma given the fact the sec heightened probe into a formal investigation as we reported with experience. they almost have to kick the tires as well. there is a potential fraud case here where he made a false statement. he knew it was potentially false, and that could be criminal. now the bad part for musk is while this is pro forma, is that they're going to now do a deep dive into everything he said. all his e-mails and everything else. if there are e-mails, and i'm getting these from people that do this type of investigation. if there are e-mails that show he didn't have it secured but wanted to screw the short sellers on the company. they can start building a case that he knew, he had intent to screw the short sellers by putting out a false statement and this guarantes that this investigation is

charlie gasparino, what are you hearing? >> it was down yesterday. a lot of wall street-ese, language, inside baseball language. it comes down to this. if you are bearish on cbs, you are bearish for the simple reason that you don't think it's going to be an easy sell to somebody else. remember, part of this deal with moonves getting him out, whether he gets his compensation or not, that's one story. the other story is that cbs, the board, worked out a standstill agreement with the controlling redstone family where for two years, she can't force a merger with viacom, the other company she owns. they can go out and shop themselves, which they can do. here's the problem when you talk to a lot of people on the street, bankers and analysts who i have been talking to. they do not -- the buyout potential for them is pretty limited. take at & t off because of regulatory concerns. they are digesting time warner. take comcast off because donald trump despises comcast. liz: they also own nbc. >> they will stop anything getting bigger especially in a vertical me

charlie gasparino has more for us on this. is is exit imminent, charlie?i will, i would say yes and here's why i'm going to say yes. sources have confirmed to the fox business network that the cbs board has consulted, this is not today, this is in recent days, an executive search firm for a long-term replacement for moonves. that means that it is unlikely that his number two, joe ianniello will be the long-term replacement, despite the fact he is likely the interim replacement. looks like this guy is on the way out, like imminently. stuart: we don't know what his severance package is doing. >> let me get into that a little bit. the negotiations between the cbs board, shari redstone, the controlling shareholder from national amusement involves moonves' departure and possible restrictions what redstone can do with cbs once he is out. we're getting that from sources close to the company. we should point out moonves is negotiating the size of his exit package which isn't finalized. i know cnbc put out a number of $100 million in stock. that may be the case but

charlie gasparino says elon musk hired a former u.s. attorney for his legal team.me attorney that helped mark cuban avoid insider trading charges. tesla stock still way down. joining us on the phone, colin rush, oppenheimer analyst who follows tesla. you have a buy recommendation on tessa. is it still on? >> yeah, absolutely. we're looking at fundamentals for the company. the legal wranglings are an overhang on the stock. reports are around potential settlement have implications here. there is still a lot to be sorted out but the meantime we're seeing really significant ramp in production. i think pretty healthy gross margin. we'll get that news next week. as we look where we can be value-added to the our clients we're looking at fundamentals and potential cash flow. stuart: you're saying next week we get the production schedule and product outcome for the model 3, and that is going to be enough to prop up the stock? that is what you're saying? so ignore the legal fight about musk and his tweets. >> let me interrupt. i'm not saying ignore the legal front. you have

it's interesting, our colleague, charlie gasparino, seems to be in the middle of all this some how. leaving without a nickel today and they'll negotiate but the negotiation will rise or fall based upon an investigation that has not yet taken place because it is an investigation of the new allegations that ronan pharaoh revealed over the weekend. maria: we'll see what comes out of this. he was forced to leave immediately. these six women, the additional women, what are they saying now? why now are they coming out? >> i don't know why now they're coming out. one of them alleges an assault. i don't know the details of it, but it's more than verbal. maria: does this change the cbs viacom merger in any way? >> yes it does. it puts it on hold for two years. it was scheduled to go to trial. well not it was scheduled to go to trial, but issues around it, whether or not cbs could dilute the redstone stock is the subject of litigation scheduled here in manhattan for october 1st. the two parties, the redstone team and the cbs team, minus moonves -- moonves is the beast in the night or had been

charlie gasparino is with us, "wall street journal" editorial page assistant editor james freeman, alsomes, on this, it could change the dynamics or at least delay a solution, right? >> yeah. i think the question is, is the president setting the table here for a productive negotiation that ultimately leads to china treating the united states better, treating our companies better -- neil: i'm dangling these over your head. >> right. or is this a long-term strategy to drive production, manufacturing, from china to the united states. he really doesn't care whether there's a deal and that would be if you want to be concerned about maybe that outcome that he's looking to permanently manage this trade in a way that he thinks will benefit the u.s., i think that recent tweet about apple would be an argument there, that this isn't necessarily a negotiation, it's just an effort to move more manufacturing -- neil: you are assuming a method to the madness. or is it impulsive craziness? >> i can think of many things that are great. tariffs are not the greatest. listen, we don't know exactly what don

charlie gasparino following all the developments. >> this is something comcast has to worry about for. i have done some reporting on this. we should point out trump did attack him today, mentioned it sort of obliquely, right? licenses, question mark. neil: very oblique. >> he didn't say i'm going after their license. as you know, telecommunication firms are highly regulated. comcast bought nbcu five years ago. it was a bunch of terms and conditions established that ran out i believe over the weekend. here is the problem i think comcast has, is it's not just the president that is skeptical, that doesn't like them, is skeptical of their business model. vertically integrated combining distribution, massive distribution with programming. it is the staff of the doj antitrust division which is very skeptical of this business model. it's why they went after at & t and cnn, and trump has called this business model at nbc and comcast public enemy number one to people. neil: the charges are that nbc, you know, nixed the story, spiked it. >> he just hates them as a business -- he just thinks the

to charlie gasparino and americans for prosperity preside president. michele mckinnon, we begin with you. you could make the argument it would be very bad for donald trump to see rosenstein go. >> i mean, you can make that argument. i think it's a lot of noise. the market's down 200 points today. the market could be down 200 points because of china, because of a lot of other reasons. neil: i asked about would it be a mistake for the president to do this, because better to have him with you than outside? >> yeah, to create more uncertainty. trump has been uncertain and unorthodox since day one so this is not new news. i don't know. i think it's hard to try to claim that and guess that one. neil: what do you think? >> i think the bigger issue is the trade issue. when you look at the potential to undermine what is becoming a booming recovery, partly because of the tax cuts and tax reform this president fought so hard for, the deregulatory effort that's knocking down barriers to opportunity, we are seeing an economy taking off like we haven't seen in over

charlie gasparino with the latest. what is going on? >> stone called cavuto is your name now.t is your name, stone cold cavuto. neil: i have various names for you. not repeatable. what is going on here? it is counterintuitive. >> it is counterintuitive, matches what we were reporting today. digest what we said on this show, claman's show about the nature of the doj probe. you might have made a few bucks because you thought it was overreaction. the bottom line, sec has serious civil investigation going on. as we first reported, they issued subpoenas. "the times" reported that it extended to wall street firms as well. we're waiting comment from wall street firms, goldman sachs and silver lake. representatives of tesla. that is the serious part of the investigation. more pro-forma part of the investigation is the potential criminal part. u.s. attorney for san francisco essentially did not, did not issue a subpoena but they basically put a call into tesla and made voluntary request for documents, piggybacking what is going on with the sec. neil: is that common? >> that is very com

lehman brothers just go, and not the same when it came to bailing out aig, the big insurer to charlie gasparinoyne, deirdre bolton and what happened then and then it could happen again you were mentioning the whole thing with aig, because then they were frantic, right? it was the first argument. charlie: remember what happened, lehman basically goes belly up on a friday, you have that long weekend where they thought about some sort of a bail out. no one could agree on terms because at that point all the banks had the same stuff lehman had on its balance sheet only bigger so they really didn't have the money and the europeans neil: but they didn't foresee the market reaction they got right? charlie: i think they knew things were bad. they didn't know how bad it was so now, monday comes along, i guess the 15th right? lehman declares bankruptcy and the markets not just the stock market i mean don't even worry about that. neil: the largest bankruptcy ever. charlie: it was the credit markets and when the credit market markets seized up that meant news corp. potentially could not give paychecks to pe

. >>> to charlie gasparino. i stress he has not come here with any drugs within him. >> neil.got some good stuff here. ah. neil: i can't, what i was going on -- >> i watched cheech and chong last night. [laughter]. neil: you have lived like cheech and chong. what is going on with this guy? >> i don't know. just so you know, i, basically focus on covering banks and hedge funds and stuff like that. every now and then i will do a media story if it catches my fancy like cbs, whatever. mainly wall street and washington. i shied away from tesla, i thought it was -- i don't believe in electronic cars but i saw the stock go way up. neil: electric. >> electric cars. right. so then the stock, then something happened about two or three months ago. musk started attacking a reporter that i know, in such a weird way. i was like, this is not the normal way a ceo acts. her name is lynnette lopez at business insider. she wrote stories he didn't like. some of the cars were working, didn't hit production. i had ceos hate me for years. they didn't dot types of things he did. he was really strange

charlie gasparino on that, and so much more, what do you make of that?k, jamie's comments about a cold war in trade or whatever he called it, skirmish -- neil: just the other day called it a skirmish. >> i think what he essentially is saying he thinks trump is doing not such a bad job on this even though he is globalist and the bar is very high for him. particularly on some of the trade front, don't go all-out war and has a gam plan with allies against china, he has, one of donald trump's main antagonists who ran against him in during the election on the republican side, whole bunch of them, not giving this person up this guy got into it with donald lot, he is doing a great job on trade. if he just kept his mouth shut on everything else and played golf more and stayed out of stay off twitter, he would be doing himself a big service. because, if you look at it this way, neil, he is starting to win me over a little bit, because he is not doing, not going tit-for-tat just yet. some of the stuff he has done is pretty marginal. not adding up. neil: going it a

charlie gasparino on that. >> jamie said -- what did he have to say? of all, jamie dimon commenting -- >> he was at some internal private meeting at jpmorgan i would say around 11:00 today, and he started, i guess he was asked a question about his future, whether he was going to spend it in politics or do whatever, and then he starts doing his imitation of trump a little bit. i mean, it was interesting. you and i had this conversation beforehand, these guys get down into the mud with him, it's kind of not a smart thing to do. he went out, he said listen, i'm paraphrasing, he said this is the substance of it, that unlike trump, he made a lot of money on his own, you know. intimating that trump was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple with his father giving him the bucks. then he said that he could probably -- he could beat him, if they were running against each other because he's actually tougher. neil: he said i'm smarter than he is. >> smarter than he is, too. i remember the tough part. did he say smart, too? neil: what's going on? >> then he

. >> neil: charlie ga gasparino. republicans are coming up with the meantime is one thing.at the president wants to do that could get in their way is quite another. if you're waiting patiently for a liver transplant, it could cost you your life. it's time to get out of line with upmc. at upmc, living-donor transplants put you first. so you don't die waiting. upmc does more living-donor liver transplants than any other center in the nation. find out more and get out of line today. >> neil: you are looking at myrtle beach, south carolina the calm before the storm it is possible this could pick up fast. the governor of that state on an evacuation momentarily. >> neil: this is writesville beach north carolina. we were showing you south carolina before. needless to say north carolina, south carolina, virginia, maryland have all declared states of emergency now ahead of this monster of a hurricane florence now packing category 4 winds in excess of 130 miles per hour. and moving very, very slowly. that worries a lot of the folks including our own meteorologist here saying the long

charlie gasparino, fbn's guy, reporting a deal is being negotiated between the cbs board and shari redstoneom for two years. the stock is moving on that news, up nearly 5%. >>> switching gears, why don't we? the eagles beat the falcons in the nfl season opener last night. look at this, a new study finds that legal sports gambling could be a huge moneymaker for the nfl. according to nielsen, the nfl's annual revenues could increase by, look at that, $2.3 billion a year due to legalized sports betting. >>> jimmy vacccaro with us, south point casino sports book director in las vegas. jimmy, how much in bets were placed on last night's game at your casino? >> we did about a million dollars, stuart, that is pretty high for an actual opening thursday night game but people everywhere, i heard viewership was down but the betting is through the roof. they can't get enough of the nfl. they can't get enough of stock betting. we had a huge day. one gentleman bet $100,000 on the falcons. this is a new trend. they're coming up with money every day and lots of it. stuart: okay. now, i want to talk about t
