join us former tivo ceo, tom rogers, now executive chairman at wind view and cnbc contributor.orstin is with us i know you were on the call last night. despite an earnings feed and up guidance, is this really because they didn't answer any questions about these investigations >> it really seems to be because of the uncertainty about two major issues really hanging over cnbc stock one is what's going to happen in terms of these allegations of ceo les moonves and the investigation under way and what sort of outcome is under way and what that could mean for cbs's leadership and national amusement controls 80% of cbs voting shares and there's a battle between them and cbs whether or not among other things cbs should be pushed to recombine with viacom. a lot of questions out there at the beginning of the call, cbs is head of investor relations and would not talk about anything because of pending litigation you look at analyst's notes today while enthusiastic about the company's growth they still see this uncertainty problematic. >> we had reports from the "l.a. times" the company kn

founder of nbc cable and former president of tivo, tom rogers. mes. good to have you both on board. laura, we'll start with you. tell us more about your testimony and the type of influence that you think is the most pervasive right now especially as it pertains to trying to control the election process. >> thanks so much, mika. i think yesterday's hearing was a really important series of conversations, a very serious conversation by the senate intelligence committee looking at how our adversaries, in particular vladimir putin, have weaponized social media and online platforms to undermine our democracy. i think one of the things that's really important to understand is oftentimes we talk about this just in terms of false content. but that's just one small piece of how this works and facebook and twitter are just two of the, you know, significant platforms, but there is about the whole information ecosystem being manipulated through automation with, through false personas to try to weaken us as americans, polarize us against one another. and while

rogers who as you know is number four in house leadership. this is famously the district where voters unseated a sitting speaker of the house tom folly.what you are seeing by virtue of lisa brown's incredibly strong performance she is known to voters. she has lived in that district. she authentic and independent. she is making this a referendum not about donald trump but rather about cathy mcmorris rogers and whether or not the congresswoman has strayed from the issues that matter to those voters. to answer your question, dana, i certainly hope the president does travel to washington state if anything it will nationalize this race and remind people once again how out of step cathy mcmorris rogers and other republicans are about w. what voter care about in washington state. >> dana: collin, i will give you the last word. do you think it's good if you get the president to come and campaign in your district, should you want him? >> you should if you are in a red part of the state and talk about the senate map which we can do a different time. plenty of parts of the country where president trump is a huge asset places like indiana and nor

roger stone had a very, very long relationship. he and the president had a very long relationship before he was named chairman. he had business relations with tom barack and other people around trump. this is a guy who knows where bodies are buried and understands the russian money flow coming out of russian billionaires who seem to have all just found that trump tower was an irresistible property in manhattan for them, and so manafort's vulnerability here to the case that mueller has against him is quite high. the white house is well aware of it. they're in their usual panic mode, and they're going to everything out under the sun. i would be surprised by nothing including trump walking around naked in the trees to change the subject. >> don't say that. >> no matter how many times kellyanne conway opens her lie hole saying this has nothing to do with the president, it does have everything to do with the president. >> i don't need to picture that, but okay. jim, i want to circle back to you a little bit and discuss something that i just -- you know, i mentioned, i touched on a moment ago. this is the virginia trial. paul manafort is going to fac

roger stone as well, there is plenty to talk about. plenty to ask our best legal times in. harvard law school's al dershowi dershowitz, john dean, author tom some years back of "blind ambition." the fact that is that what this only be about? >> it seems very likely. look, i think everybody hopes this doesn't become what happened in the bill clinton investigation where it started out as whitewater and end upped with sordid sex. this is a serious investigation. it should focus, of course, on russia and russia's involvement in the american election. and i hope that's where the focus remains. >> john, this isn't the first associate of roger stone that the special counsel has talked to. sam nunberg, michael caputo were also questioned by the mueller team about him. >> it appears that they're trying to get a very tight timeline on his activities, his contacts with guccifer 2, to find out what his relationship may or may not have been. to either exonerate him or find to press him to admit whatever role he may or may not have had. so, yes, a lot of his associates, much to his chagrin, are being questioned as well as his relationship with other peo

tom: i'm not a fan the way the disciplinary process has worked, it's arbitrary, it's capricious, makes a mockery of the rule of law. to think that somehow when it comes to the national anthem that rogerdell is going on do a 180 and be solomon on the mount and come up with a solution is fantasy. >> katie: because of the players union, the collective bargaining power they have against the owners and the league and goodell. they don't have any control over the disciplinary process, what the rules are. they have rules that are brokeen. >> harris: true. >> katie: because they have the collective bargaining power. >> katie: why can't the players union set a base line, if you've been accused of domestic violence, why can't there be -- >> katie: they protect those guys. >> lisa: interesting discussion. the broadcast tv network with a deluge of coverage, chris collins' arrest. the same study finds they downplayed similar arrests of two democratic lawmakers. is there a double standard? we'll get to the bottom of it. . but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen

america" and rogers professor of the presidency vanderbilt university john meacham and joining the conversation columnist for "wall street journal," peggy noonan and "new york times" columnist, tomn with his latest book. peggy, i want to go to you because john mccain was not always a happy warrior. he didn't always bob his head like the gipper and smile with a nice hollywood flare with everything he said. he reminds me in a sense of bobby kennedy. we were telling the story a couple of weeks ago. i asked my parents, i said tell me about bobby kennedy what was he like? my dad said he was a real s.o. b. then i went off to college. i asked my liberal professors. ethical me about bobby kennedy and he thought for a second, he's a real s.o.b. of course we were laughing about it but bobby kennedy was tough and he needed to be tough and he gave the same tough speech whether he was in the inner-city or whether he was talking to rich white kids at an ivy league school. john mccain in some ways cut-out of the same cloth, became right at you. yes, he could be tough. in fact, he was tough, but so many times that is exactly what his country called for. >> you know, that's an interesting compar
