About this episode

The episode discusses Donald Trump's chaotic CNBC interview covering various topics including Iran, oil prices, and the economy.

Donald’s rambling interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box with Joe Kernen veered from his escalating conflict with Iran to oil prices and the economy, as he defended his approach and took shots at the Federal Reserve. The segment also spotlighted Kevin Warsh’s Fed nomination, now in trouble after Senator Thom Tillis said he won’t back it until a Justice Department investigation into Jerome Powell is resolved. With U.S.-Iran talks uncertain and markets on edge, the interview underscored the chaos, contradictions, and pressure building around both foreign policy and the economy.
