  • Pls retire soon Joe and Becky….

    Please *REPORT* the news and not share your *PERSONAL* views constantly, the viewers are not interested in your biased opinions!!!

    Joe “MAGA”Kernan might as well start working for Karoline Leavitt as her assistant… Becky Quick never has the backbone to stand up to Joe to counter his viewpoints. Such a horrible show!!

    Since when did CNBC become state run media only making positive remarks about all of the terrible decisions the autocratic regime is illegally forcing down Americans throats? Bye CNBC and Joe (MAGA) Kernin!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scott Bessent From Beijing 5/14/26
Q: What's your take on how the US should navigate the AI revolution with China?
The guest emphasizes that the US should maintain leadership in AI while collaborating with China on guardrails and safety standards, ensuring innovation isn't stifled while addressing vulnerabilities in large language models.
The Hantavirus Risk with Dr. Scott Gottlieb 5/11/26
Q: What about the potential leadership changes at FDA and related policy implications like vaping product enforcement?
He expresses a cautious view, noting ongoing upheaval at the agency and the importance of strong career leadership; on vaping policy, he discusses enforcement discretion that could flood the market with products while applications are reviewed, underscoring the need for principled governance and age verification.
The Hantavirus Risk with Dr. Scott Gottlieb 5/11/26
Q: Could vaccines be deployed, or are therapeutics and management the more likely path?
Gottlieb suggests that while vaccines may have a role in outbreak ring-fencing, the current emphasis is on therapeutics and immune-modulating approaches (e.g., anti-IL-6 therapies) plus supportive care rather than mass vaccination, given transmission dynamics and outbreak context.
The Hantavirus Risk with Dr. Scott Gottlieb 5/11/26
Q: What is the mortality rate and what factors drive outcomes in hantavirus cases?
He notes a case fatality rate around 40 to 50 percent for this strain, with outcomes influenced by underlying health, the rapidity of care, and the patient's ability to withstand a cytokine storm; pulmonary involvement is a key driver of severity, and aggressive supportive care can improve survival.
The Hantavirus Risk with Dr. Scott Gottlieb 5/11/26
Q: Scott, thanks for coming in today. How do you look at this hantavirus situation and what comes next?
Dr. Gottlieb explains that most cases are tied to the initial exposure on the cruise ship, with the incubation period potentially extending up to six weeks; forward spread is possible but unlikely, and containment will depend on heightened surveillance, contact tracing, and clinical readiness, including potential use of therapeutics to blunt the cytokine storm and supportive care like ECMO if needed.
