  • Used to listen to this daily until I realized that this show is full of dog-whistle hateful rhetoric

    This show no longer provides any educational content other than having one cranky old white guy talking non sense all the time while berating his female co anchor and younger male co anchor. I cannot believe that CNBC employs a cranky old white guy to just berate his co-anchors. I showed this podcast to my kid to teach them what a toxic co worker would be like or be have like so when they grow up they know who to avoid in the workplace.

  • What happened to Squawk Pod’s journalism?

    I’ve been a Squawk Box and Squawk Pod listener for years. The appeal was always the same: smart, skeptical business journalism that took markets seriously, pressed powerful people on their numbers, and didn’t let politicians or CEOs skate by on vibes. Becky Quick asking the uncomfortable follow-up. Andrew Ross Sorkin cross-referencing what a guest just said with what they wrote in their last shareholder letter. Even Joe Kernen, at his best, played a useful role — the contrarian who made guests d... more

  • Joe ruins the show

    I used to love this show. Joe makes it un-listenable/un-watchable lately. Kudos to Becky and Aaron for working so hard to dance around the partisanship and his moods. On to another show unfortunately…..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nvidia’s Blowout & an E-Shaped Economy 8/27/26
Q: What are the longer-term implications of Nvidia's growth for the AI supply chain and pricing power?
The panel suggests Nvidia's expanding demand and price hikes indicate sustained AI investment, with margins guided to tighten but offset by price increases and a broadening customer base beyond hyperscalers, which could support continued revenue growth despite some normalization in margins.
Affirm’s Q4 & Big Tech in Court: Meta & Anthropic Rulings 8/28/26
Q: How important is the Anthropic ruling in the broader regulatory landscape?
The ruling is significant as it reduces perceived risk from government pressure on Anthropic and could influence how similar cases unfold, though other DC and international actions remain pending.
Moderna & Merck’s Cancer Treatment Win & Figma CEO 8/19/26
Q: What are the manufacturing implications and cost considerations for this personalized approach?
Unlike some cell-based therapies, this method does not use a patient's own cells, which could simplify manufacturing and potentially reduce cost, though pricing discussions have not yet been finalized as data is still being quality-checked and regulatory pathways are being navigated.
Moderna & Merck’s Cancer Treatment Win & Figma CEO 8/19/26
Q: Can you explain how this cancer treatment works in combination with Keytruda and what it means for patients?
The therapy uses a personalized mRNA approach to train the immune system to recognize and attack melanoma cells, enhancing the effect of Keytruda and potentially decreasing recurrence, with early hints of longer disease-free periods and ongoing data releases to confirm safety and efficacy.
AI Deals Go Round and Round & Cava’s CEO 8/12/26
Q: What does this mean for the cost of financing AI infrastructure if Nvidia relies on third-party lenders?
The lenders will determine interest rates, which could create a more traditional lender-borrower dynamic and reduce Nvidia's direct exposure to financing costs.
