Thank you, Andrew. Joe needs to work for Fox as he seems to be a spokesperson for the Trump administration

The decision to indicate a stock, index or interest rate up movement with green arrow pointing down is as poor as the decision to show a down movment with a red arrow pointing up.
Episode release is too late and Kernen is awful

I gave this 1-star because of Joe Kernen. Squawk Pod is better than the actual CNBC show in some ways, because it is edited to be concise. I cannot watch the 3-hour live version because of Joe Kernen. He completely lacks professionalism. Joe always interrupts and talks over guests. He is also way too politically opinionated, which is a huge turnoff on a business program. Fortunately, listeners get less Joe Kernen in this abridged podcast format. This CNBC podcast releases its episodes well after the cable show airs. So we get premarket info after the market opens.
