  • Chose the interview partners more wisely

    I honestly like CNBC, but bringing Lutnick on air and not challenging his answers, which obviously cringe anybody with a mediocre intellect earned you a one star rating.

  • Love KE AX SL

    I love Kelly . She is level headed . Steve L is annoying . The reason the tariff calculation has never been used is because the US is the only country being REEMED and so it’s never had to be applied . The tariffs are justified and I believe they are great and we can stop being abused by other countries . He never talks about the imbalance he just casts shadows bc he is biased and tries to hide it . Kelly asks logical questions and makes useful points. Steve L should just zip it .

  • Leave the liberal bias at the door

    Kelly needs to cool her liberal bias. It’s very off putting and often inspires me to turn off the show

  • Kelly is the best female host here

    Her navigation is so perfect! Every word is so appropriate! Such a demure goddess! We just don’t want to hear Dan Chow’s voice!
