  • 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.

The Largest Crypto Hack & Google’s Worst Day 10/30/26
Q: What do you think is inspiring Elon to speak out about this in the way that he just did?
Isaacson says Musk has learned from being too publicly involved before and is now spending more quietly on political efforts, including targeted advertising and get-out-the-vote work, while remaining strongly aligned with Republicans.
The Largest Crypto Hack & Google’s Worst Day 10/30/26
Q: Do you need a clean sweep in 2028 to do all these things? Even if you did win the Senate, you still have the veto pen, obviously. How much is going to be focused on investigations?
DelBene says the election should demonstrate that voters want representatives who will support working families, lower costs and address broken promises, while Congress also has an oversight role.
Gary Cohn & Chris Sununu: The Fed, AI, & the Midterms 10/29/26
Q: Why do you think the prediction markets are worse than the polls?
Sununu says prediction markets reflect the general public responding to media narratives, potentially amplifying polling errors. He argues that polling methods have not adapted well to how voters make decisions and says Republicans are under-polled in some areas.
Gary Cohn & Chris Sununu: The Fed, AI, & the Midterms 10/29/26
Q: You think December's, there's going to be a hike? Or is it data dependent?
Cohn says the decision is data dependent, but he thinks incoming data will lead the Federal Reserve to raise rates. He argues that time may ease year-over-year energy inflation, while uncertainty around energy costs and the economy remains.
Bill Murray, Ken Chenault, & Knowing Your Roots 11/2/26
Q: How did this come about? First of all, your friendship and then this trip in particular.
Coyne traces their friendship to his first novel becoming a film featuring Bill Murray's brother, Brian Doyle Murray. Years later, a producer proposed adapting Coyne's book about walking and golfing around Ireland, and Coyne invited Murray to join him.
