  • 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.

Microsoft’s Brad Smith & Utah Gov. Cox: AI, Teaching, & Peace 9/9/26
Q: What specific protections are being put in place to safeguard student data in AI-enabled classrooms?
A standardized contract framework will ensure that student data remains private, there is governance over how AI tools access that data, and schools can opt into Microsoft products with built-in privacy safeguards that governors and unions plan to publish for public review.
What Pablo Torre Found Out & Banning Artificial Superintelligence 9/4/26
Q: Congressman, can you lay out specifically what your ban would do and how you would enforce it?
Casar explains a three-part framework: ban artificial super intelligence, create a cabinet-level agency to ensure safety before advancing cutting-edge AI, and push for international cooperation to set rules and prevent cross-border proliferation.
USTR Jamieson Greer & a GPU Lifecycle 8/24/26
Q: How would you characterize the breakdown in talks? What caused it?
Greer explains the talks collapsed after last-minute demands from Canada that would have expanded tariff relief beyond autos; he emphasizes a measured, policy-driven explanation and argues the U.S. stayed within its stated objectives while Canada pushed for more access.
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.
