Squawk Box, and Both of the Fast Moneys are what makes CNBC..I am a 25 daily watcher of entire channel but primarily 6-8 am and 5 to 6 due to work. Let me address Squawk Box since there are are so many Joe haters apparently. I feel like I know the three of them like family. Andrew is the "brilliant kid", doesnt play up any favoritism on anti semitic issues and takes alot of heat from his much older brother Joe, but in the end, i feel like they really respect each other. Becky is the calming influence but smart as a whip. The reason this show is a 4 star A+ to me is because especially in first hour they pull no punches talking blunt to each other like around a kitchen table. They do not all sing from same hymnal, quite the opposite.
To pull Joe out would leave a huge gap, someone has to sound like Fox so let him, they are kililng us by Fox in reviews. But people generally LIKE these 3 commentators. They are so well rounded, experienced and on top of all issues and how they effect business. Nice people.

Joe Kernan has made Squawk Box unwatchable. It’s all Trump and supporting his anti-business policies. He talks over anyone that doesn’t 100% agree and brings on guests like Charlie Kirk that have nothing to do with business. Focus on the business again, please.
Joe Kernan, on Squawk Box, has become nothing more than a Trump Bully. He is always talking over Becky and Adam, as well as other guests that he does not agree with. I have watched Squawk Box religiously for over ten years and am now watching local news due to Joe's anti-democracy behavior and attitude. I will start watching again when CNBC hires a third person for Squawk Box to go along with Becky and Adam that does not bully them and others. Joe might as well say that he is looking to be named a cabinet member under DJT.

I don't buy Cramer's shtick anymore. I don't think he really cares about educating and informing his audience. I think he cares about growing his audience, having an unfettered platform to express his views on the markets and politics, and fielding obsequious calls from viewers. The guy will say just about anything about anyone for viewership. It's PR, not financial journalism. Today's episode (6/11), was the most recent example of this blowhard behavior. He excoriated views critical to AAPL's AI rollout yesterday and subsequent stock increase, as if they had insulted his daughter. Over the top vitriol, going after Wall Street analysts (among others), mocking their MBAs just because they have a different opinion. He called it 'conventional stupidity"; schizophrenic; the analysts were morons; AAPL haters. There's no respect there. It's not dignified, not teaching, nor informing, and I know he wouldn't want it to be characterized as guidance either, right? He wouldn't want to be on the hook for offering investment advice lest he be held accountable. It’s his show, maybe he catches similarly unfair crap from reddit posters or analysts and he wants to respond? Be that as it may, I don’t want to hear his retort. If I do have to sit through it, then he should mind his audience, manage his tone and speak clearly. Mad Money is #9 in CNBC’s viewers as of today's survey, not exactly a stellar showing. CNBC throws all kinds of ad time ($) promoting his club and CNBC Pro. How well is all of that monetizing? Are club numbers growing? Many cancellations? It would be interesting to know. I, for one-- will NOT be watching anymore.

watch 6:45am pac, to 7am. 6 commercials , 2 minutes news, 6 commercials, and I turn off at 7am.
I don't mind split screen commercials, but full screen commercial only and I won't watch.
Cannot use this channel as is.

Joe Kernan is extremely negative and always in a foul mood.
Scott Wapner is a narcissist and unintelligent to boot. He teamed with Jim Cramer to humiliate Tony Dwyer. It was embarrassing to watch Wapner's childish performance.

I especially enjoy watching Joe Kernan. He brings reality and common sense to the show that the other hosts often lack. Without him there'd be no divergence of opinion, like the rest of NBC/MSNBC!

The haters hate Cramer, as I suspect you do, Josh. But you’re all right, and I like listening to your thoughts. Just encourage CNBC to get rid of Jim. That may help their dwindling ratings and save $5 million!

Maybe when Versant begins life as a public company, the salary and ratings for Mr. Cramer will become fully evident. It can’t be a pretty picture. He is so painful to watch…and why David Faber accepts being his “straight man” is a mystery. He should go to Bloomberg and do some serious reporting.

cramer has ruined the 9am show. he talks over david and carl, the two guys i want to hear. some moron at the top decided to make cramer the investment club guru and now he can't fit his head through the door move shep to 6 and cramer to 7 or just get rid of shep and let kelley do the news
Here's a news alert!!
Politics are divisive.
And I understand that some things going on in Washington effect the markets.
But, Sqawk Box is turning into "The other morning Joe"
An endless parade of partisan hacks come on the show just to point their fingers at "The other guys".
The main reason nothing good happens in Washington is because politicians are just looking for a camera to show their base how tough they are, and refuse to compromise.
The other parade on Squawk Box, is a bunch of 80-90 year old billionaires whining about taxes.
Bring your tax forms if you want to whine.
I don't believe for a minute that you pay as high a percentage as the middle class.
You can live an extravagant lifestyle without showing taxable income.
