anyway, that's a deal first reported by our own charlie gasparino. i remember others say not so fast. and now liz claman speaking with the ceos. >> the probability of ultimate success of this merger is still a question mark. at least a couple analysts in the u.s. give it a somewhat 50% chance of being approved by regulators. >> we are very confident that the behavior to get this transaction responding to the regulatory questions. and i think it's different from a number of the other deals the got the m and i think it's different from a number of the other deals the got the moment and that there is such a separation. there's very little overlap between the two portfolios. neil: there you go. the full interview today at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. join us on the regulatory hassles and hurdles. i heard the most likely scenario would be the environmental groups and others who don't like manufactured boots. they are the ones who could really torpedo this thing. how likely is that? >> well, what a shame we are even discussing the possibility to shareholder com

i am joined for more by elizabeth mcdonald and charlie gasparino, inc. is going to happen? does he need to leave over this? >> he is going to be fired i believe. what will probably happen is he will finish this hearing today, there is a house committee hearing, i think he will do that and what i heard from inside the bank was his future particularly whether he is at the bank for two years are set to retire depending how well he did at this hearing. it is a gentleman's c-he did very badly. he did not answer questions, he came in prepared. if you give these guys rope they are going to hang you. trish: this was rope with red needle. >> amy diamond was speaking on a more esoteric topic about a trading loss a couple years ago. these guys were trying to whip up the class warfare stuff. jamie was smart enough and prepared enough, stump had no idea what he was walking into so my guess is he is gone. trish: let's talk about what happened. if i had an account at wells fargo might i be vulnerable to this, to million of them were created. liz: we had a guest on varney's show who said h

charlie gasparino, steve leeb, lizzie "wicked" macdonald. on nip tant, guy in charge of all things numbers, charlie brady. what do you think he is saying first off, about the fed? >> his point is well-taken. back in 2000 the overnight lending rate is 6 1/2%. by 2003 is down to 1%. stayed there for a year. neil: argument it had to say there. rates held too low too long, caused housing bubble and created mess we're in now. neil: you agree with that. >> i agree. i have the computer there. neil: how would we determine interest rates? >> market. neil: market do it. >> not so much interest rates. i mean he does have, they do have a problem. if they start raising interest rates, dollar goes through the roof. who knows what happens to our manufacturing, et cetera. their big problem they have no idea, which no one does. but if you're going to broadcast it, that hey, we have no idea what we're going to do, we're going to go to the next meeting an maybe flip a coin. or we'll count votes and somebody will flip a coin. neil: doesn't ron paul, who is earl

. >>> breaking news, i'm told charlie gasparino who warned you last thursday the much talked about bayer-monsanto merger might happen early this week? well, it's tuesday, that's early this week. reportedly got action behind closed doors, charlie, what are you hearing? >> what we're hearing is monsanto is finalizing its due diligence on the bayer bid. the deal could come what we're understanding if this thing does happen, it could come within the next 48 hours. we should point out german time is 6 hours ahead, it's like 6:00 right now. if you think about it, board bayer could be talking about this tomorrow morning when we're still -- some of us will be awake, you might be asleep. liz: i'm awake. >> around 3:00 in the morning. keep watching -- keep on look at foxbusiness.com, i might plop something up there around 3:00 a.m. in the morning. the deal is not finalized. monsanto could reject the deal. this is not a done deal, until it's a done deal, they could seek a higher offer. but what we understand is this is coming to near conclusion one way or the other. the likelihood. this is where it gets int

charlie gasparino, what do you have? >> sources tell the fox business network that that long-awaited national nightmare is almost over. nearing the completion that what we hear we're getting strong indications from bankers close to this deal that the baehr merger would be the biggest of its kind the pharmaceutical in the world that that thing could be donnas early as next week. that's the indication we're getting. next week is the due date that the talks are strongly progressing towards a deal. we should point the last bid we heard from baehr, baehr essentially taking over monsanto was $127 a share or thereabouts. it might go up a bit. but we do understand that this thing is reaching conclusion. that next week bankers are saying if this thing could get done, it's a good chance. my only fly in the ointment here, neil, is that this will face strict regulatory scrutiny both in the eu and here in the u.s. with that, it could always delay it but the bankers are saying this is near completion, and if it gets done, it could be

gasparino you has covered and way off its highs for all time. >> tonight will be a huge night for twitter this election or debate will be tweeted live by everybody. i guess the verdict of the debate will be in before any network. i hate to say it. that is what will go on here. social media will render verdict whether donald trump beats hillary clinton vice versa way before we get on there. everybody will be tuned into twitter. we're irony of it all. people watching it and twitter is not making any money. all its various metrics. liz: everybody is going on this thing and it can't make money. >> this is the rub. cnbc had a report a couple days ago which essentially mirrored what we reported over a year ago. twitter want to sell itself. it is shopping itself to various places. that is not new. what is the rub here all these places from salesforce.com -- that was kind of a new name they through in there which i was surprised by but not just that googles with we reported has a lot of money. you could see them doing some sort of strategic alliance. they already have a strategic alliance. comcas

helping me to break it down as our own charlie gasparino and joel contest. what is lester holt gig here? >> full disclosure i have never moderated the debate. at a thanksgiving meal. and i watch how neil cavuto does it and he's one of the masters of it. listen this has got to be entertaining. this guy is going to sit there and fact check every single insane thing that comes out of donald trump's mouth or the not so and sane thing which is why we are talking about this the clinton camp has put tremendous pressure on moderators to fact check donald trump and what he says. think is going to be a boring debate. i don't like the fact that the campaign, the obama debate in fact check romney on something that actually she was wrong about. so i don't like that. i'll bet you if crowley and obama pulled that on donald trump he would eat them alive and that's why think they should be moderating. one that i will say to generate crazy, let's say she turns to trump and says listen you should apologize to all the people and women who you have degraded over the years and he

she was in charge of the all the division making up two million fake bank accounts charlie gasparino. >> we've been talking a lot to wall street analysts and people close to the company. what they still concede this is, that john stomach's performance at this hearing will determine his future. it is beyond clawbacks. they will want more. if he is able to mollify some of his critics, the last critic of the last hearing was elizabeth warren when he was in front of the senate banking committee, she one of the democrats on the committee, the person who likely on house financial services committee will be maxine water, california congresswoman, who is very fiesty, firebrand liberal and she, she is from california. as you know wells is located out in california. she will go after mr. stumpf on the stand tooth and nail. here is the thing. if he has a repeat performance of what he did in the banking committee a couple weeks ago or last week, i would say that is not going to be good for him going forward. the general consensus, even though the scandal, moneywise, i'm not trying to downplay thi

the stock has been hit, it's up just a little bit right now, but let me get to charlie gasparino. oh, now we have the risk management person, charlie, stepping down for personal reasons. >> reporter: yeah, i mean, you know, it has the sort of air of more than just personal reasons. here's what we do know, and it's, you know, there's going to be an issue at the top of this firm, liz. mr. stump of, who's the ceo, is going to be giving testimony to the banking committee. people are saying to me that his future is going to be dependent largely on this hearing. we don't think he's going to leave in the short term, i mean, that would be a major disruption for a systemically important bank if he was blown out, you know, this week which, believe it or not, there is some talk about that on wall street. but i hear just from people close to him, close to the bank it's more of a longer-term thing. don't expect any major changes soon. you know, expect, you know, if he bombs tomorrow and bombs at the end of the month when he speaks before the house financial services committee, that it'll be, y

. >> okay, we got to go breaking news, charlie gasparino up in the newsroom. what do you got? >> from what we understand, the bayer-monsanto deal is progressing, where the deal, according to bankers are telling the fox business network, could be done tonight. from what we understand a deal where a price tag would be close to $130 a share. we should point out the deal is not finalized, liz, but what we're hearing from bankers that this thing is basically going -- moving towards a conclusion and that the announcement will be made tonight. we should point out if they announce the deal, it's not finalized yet. they do announce the deal, this is going to face severe and significant regulatory hurtles which is one reason why monsanto's stock hasn't gone as highsa the deal offer price from what we understand is close to $130, maybe $129 a share. the breakup fee could be as high as 3 billion. >> three billion? that is about double what it was. >> it was 1.5 billion. now it's 3 billion. that is part what took bayer to get monsanto to agree to this. what we understand, the parties are n

joining me is charlie gasparino, you are surprised he didn't come out to defend the guy? >> no, because part of the reason why liz got this story is we had a little scoop last night that we had sources telling us that buffett was extremely disappointed in mr. stumpf's performance, john stumpf, the ceo of wells fargo, very uneven performance at the senate committee hearings investigating claims that workers under his watch, nomly, he's at the top of the firm, other people in between, created two million or so fake accounts and billed people for these. banking or checking accounts and credit card accounts. here's the thing, he told liz he doesn't want to say anything, people are saying that is a tacit admission he's not happy with mr. stumpf. he is one of the biggest shareholders, owns a chunk of the company, he is out-front on corporate governance issues on wall street. it's odd he's not saying anything now. it would hurt his investment. but from what we hear behind the scenes he is not happy and at some point, according to one source who is close to buffett told me he's g

charlie gasparino, this worries you? >> it shows you that they are a basket full of deplorables. at least half of them are. only half. listen -- i'm only kidding about that. it's a joke. i know pat's glasses are fogging up right now. but here's the thing, neil. you've got to be stupid to be standing in a line right now when you can order that on the internet. >> right. >> and that, to me, shows that millennials have too much time on their hands, they are not working, they are not doing anything so they think it's cool and hip. >> and they are not cheap, right? >> no. >> these are not cheap things to get. >> also, i don't even want one because you know those headphones, the little ones to stick in your ear, i lost them. i think it's stupid to wait in line. either you should be working, you don't have money for that or you have money for that and money to pay a professional line sitter. >> this is a fox news alert. you're admitting that millennials are stupid. >> no, anyone doing this is stupid. you should have something in your life that you care about more than a slightly faster

our own charlie gasparino reported the deal hours before the competition right here on fox business. charlie, take it away. >> couple things on the deal. it's a pretty frothy deal. it is $128 a share, up from the first bid a couple months ago at 122. something like a 66, $68 billion deal. it is an all-cash deal which is pretty, again, pretty lucrative for monsanto. they're getting paid a chunk of change. there is a $2 billion breakup fee. just in case this thing does not pass regulatory muster, we'll get to that in a second, monsanto shareholders get a $2 billion check. here is where it gets interesting, will this thing pass regulatory muster. if you think it is, it is easiest trade in the world. you're buying at 1404 down from the highs today, 106, yeah, it down from the highs. buying at 106 and you get $128 a share. that is pretty good gig. why wall street trading at 106? they this thing will not pass regulatory muster here in the u.s. which it has to go through our justice department, doj antitrust division or the european commission which has to look at this. there is the whole i

ashley: yes, charlie gasparino sources say that a bayer-monsanto deal could be announced next week. moving along strongly, they were 127.50 a share and some analysts said it would take 130 a share, but apparently the bankers according to charlie gasparino working on the regulatory issues. stuart: i'd like to see man santo stock. if that's accurate and they move forward with a bayer takeover, then monsanto stocks should go up liz: there are regulatory concerns. in the european union and here in the united states. we're worried about that. >> the market says they don't expect the deal to go through. >> they may not have heard charlie's report. stuart: it looks like the scene on the left-hand side of your screen is almost frozen there, they look like secret service guys waiting to open a door. i'm making the assumption, perhaps i'm wrong, that hillary clinton is inside that suv. ashley: looks like a government suv. they're looking suitably grim. stuart: they're grim-- >> it's not funny. stuart: you know what? i've been told that minutes ago we saw the mystery man. now, i didn't catch t

charlie gasparino here. charlie you know something of the thinking at clinton camp, what they're hearing. they seem to be calmly dealing with this on the surface. >> i've been talking to, i guess you could call these people clinton operatives, people that give a lot of money with them, deal with hillary clinton and her top people every day, doing this last couple days. this is distillation of what i found. they're pretty confident in the end her ground game will prevail. they still can't believe donald trump doesn't have major ground game presence in a lot of battleground states. they obviously do. they think that is worth a couple of points. dollars to doughnuts in tight election, even as things are tightening up in the states that will help them prevail. the other thing they think, neil, her performance during the debate. they're putting a lot, a lot of their momentum going forward on her doing very well. here is what i hear. they are preparing for a sound bite debate with donald trump. that trump is going

john tatum, charlie gasparino as well. charlie, what do you make of it, it is uphill fight for him to get money. >> john is not doing his job i think. john, onus on you and anthony scaramucci. donald trump just said there, you guys are falling down on the job, that you guys just can't go out there and do what he is doing, reach into his bank account and pull out some bucks. listen, i'm only half kidding when i say that. because it is true. neil: i would like to have him back as a guest. >> john will tell you this, so will anthony. goldman sachs won't give directly to donald. they only give to the rnc. neil: i want to explore that. what is going on here? i don't know what the final, final figures will be but always trailing hillary clinton. i know there is a different standard when it comes to trump. didn't need a lot of money running for nomination. i suspect it is different now. what do you think? >> neil, i would say we're going to be just fine. money is not going to be an issue. when you talk about those totals, the mon

gasparino senior correspondent of fox business network broke the news as he often does. >> thanks for having me. martha: good morning to you. what does this mean for everybody? >> this is financial aspect as you said, biggest deal of the year, 66 billion. if you're a shareholder in the deal, it goes through, your stock will go wherever it is now, from $106 a share to a $128 a share which is a nice chunk of change. there is breakup fee on this, if the the deal doesn't go through the share hold is of monsanto get a few bucks. there is the whole social story which is i think fascinating. bayer is big pharmaceutical company located in germany. mon san toe is a huge agribusiness company here. bayer is buying them here because they're taking a big bet on gmos, which is hugely controversial -- you will see "mother jones," george soros, the left will attack this deal because they hate the notion of genetically modified foods. bayer with the power behind it, a huge company with all the skills and research will buy this company and create this sort of monolith that will be shoving genetically m

we have charlie gasparino here. one thing we did it was a good fundraising day for donald trump. the biggest day maybe ever quite a while. the tide is turning here and mr. trump's favors. maybe even a good couple weeks. >> a few good days. last night he raised a lot of questions about a lot of different things at the immigration proposal. connell: we talked about whether that was a good idea. >> exact way. as it pertains to fundraising, what is spending his money on it is not as well organized in a key battleground states. he is narrowing the gap a little bit in this post and we'll see what it looks like after labor day. he is still behind, still has a lot of work to do. he's running ads now. but if you continue to do in the fall? >> will talk more about this and detailed is one thing that has not changed is the electoral college forecast which is pretty much the same. you are in d.c. looking into fundraising. >> i was talking to gop operatives. these are people who want them to win. he's had a decent couple of weeks. she's had a kind of crime a couple of weeks. connell: which mi
