@SquawkCNBC @CNBC @DM_Rubenstein I always enjoy hearing David’s perspective; he’s direct and to the point. Go Birds!

"Kevin Warsh will recognize that getting a fed funds cut rate now is not going to be easy," says @DM_Rubenstein. "I suspect that he would like to lower rates but I don't expect it would happen overnight."

@SquawkCNBC @realDonaldTrump Great dialogue! I don’t look to agree or disagree on what’s being said. I just enjoy listening!!

@SquawkCNBC @RichLightShed @WaltLightShed Tim Cook was a great CEO for Apple! He understood the Company makes phones and created the most popular IPhone in the US and the world. AI will continue playing a role, but Apple wants everyone to own an Apple phone, for a variety of reasons, regardless of its advances in AI.

@CBSSunday @nealstudio Amazing!

Michael Shane Neal (@nealstudio), perhaps America's greatest living portraitist, recently fulfilled a long-held ambition: to paint a living president. He talks with Martha Teichner about producing a portrait of former President Joe Biden. He also discusses "being in the zone" while painting a portrait; following in the footsteps of famed artists Everett Raymond Kinstler and John Singer Sargent; and becoming a TikTok fashion icon. cbsn.ws/4vDky4n

@CBSSunday What would Sunday morning be without Sunday Morning? Thank you Jane!

We leave you this Sunday morning with prairie chickens and sharp tail grouse near Ft. Pierre, South Dakota. Videographer: Kevin Kjergaard.

@CBSSunday Thanks for bringing this subject to light and providing such a detailed study and investigation into the trucking ‘broker’ business. I’ll be anxious to hear the results of the current case before the Supreme Court.

In 2024, approximately 5,000 people died in accidents involving trucks, up more than 50% from 15 years ago. And while a new proposed law would strengthen enforcement against truck drivers, safety advocates say it will do nothing against freight brokers – middleman companies that often hire firms with poor safety records. @JimAxelrod reports on the tragic stories of victims of trucking accidents, and efforts to hold brokers accountable. cbsnews.com/projects/2026/…

@CBSSunday What an amazing feature on a brilliant individual who had such a dramatic impact on American furniture design! In New Hope, PA - I had no idea! Great story!

Woodworker George Nakashima (1905-1990), considered a giant of 20th- century furniture design, was a leader of the American craft movement. His legacy is continuing through his daughter, Mira, who took the reins of the company he founded, Nakashima Woodworkers. Mo Rocca talks with Mira about producing not only her father's iconic designs, but also her own pieces. cbsn.ws/4cXGSNR

@SquawkCNBC Great questions and discussion regarding the debt and deficit spending…..the US is spending close to $1 trillion annually in interest expense on that debt…with deficit spending projected for years - it’s completely out of control….completely.

@CBSSunday @arthurbrooks So interesting!! …the thought that doing boring things actually stimulates brain activity in certain areas! I remember unloading UPS trailers of packages in the middle of the night for several years during college - I would dream about everything while in those trucks!

Resolving boredom through our incessant attention to our devices has, according to New York Times bestselling author @arthurbrooks, also brought an end to our willingness to let our minds wander – inhibiting abstract thinking and making us vulnerable to anxiety and depression. He talks about his new book, "The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness," and why constant distraction gets in the way of our ability to be fully alive.

@CBSSunday ….loved her as Phoebe and love her as Lisa.

"Friends" star Lisa Kudrow played a washed-up sitcom actress, Valerie Cherish, in the 2005 HBO comedy "The Comeback." The show was cancelled, but it earned a cult following, and then returned in 2014. Now, "The Comeback" is itself making a comeback for a third season. Kudrow talks with @thattracysmith about her love for playing Phoebe Buffay; her aptitude for "cringe comedy"; and how she found solace following the death of "Friends" castmate Matthew Perry. cbsn.ws/4c3Qwht

@SquawkCNBC @RichLightShed No one understands the media industry like Rich - great perspective on Disney.

"Disney needs radical change under new CEO Josh D’Amaro," says Lightshed's @RichLightShed. cnb.cx/4sMxClD

@CBSMornings Great feature story on a truly legendary NYC restaurant! I had the privilege of having the Burger au Poivre - it’s everything you’d expect it to be! One of the best!

At the legendary Raoul’s, one of the most difficult reservations to get in New York City, the back of the restaurant has a unique feature — a confessional booth that you can dine in. cbsn.ws/4sPKQ1b

Great dialogue on the housing market - both the multi-family and single family markets. The brothers know what they’re talking about; especially regarding single family rentals - “….they represent only 5% of the market…” - and we need more incentives for developing multi family units.

@MikeBloomberg @lloydblankfein Thank you Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Blankfein! My uncle used to say “Pass it on!”.

.@lloydblankfein's new book, Streetwise, is full of important lessons about leadership, decision-making, and giving back. Glad to help celebrate the launch at the Perelman Performing Arts Center.

It’s not - well, not the way you expect. Everyone I talk to at the GSEs and FHFA say it’s a coin toss, at best. Pulte has no influence-Trump is distracted with world affairs - I’m hearing it will most likely need to be an act of Congress. It’s an ‘indefinite wait and see’ - no big ‘paydays’ in the foreseeable future!

$FNMA Not sure how we come back from this?

I used to go a few times a week and sit at the bar. Nick ‘The Tie’ was the bartender. I would see celebrities all the time - it was quite a ‘show’! Of course I was hoping I could eventually get a table. Nick said if I came around for another 6 months, he’d see what he could do! 😆

When at Rao’s… 🤤

@guarnaschelli Such a great show - the chemistry among the show’s hosts was fabulous - I will really miss The Kitchen!!

The Kitchen is amazing. ❤️

@SquawkCNBC @ABlinken I’ll have to admit I had to turn the sound off when Mr. Blinken was on after he said President Obama “…had a tight lid on Iran.” ‘Sure he did’…we were not able to inspect the reactors. - we had to rely on Iran’s ‘self inspection’…and he released frozen funds surreptitiously.

"President Trump has the opportunity to reach a better Iran deal than Obama," says former Secretary of State @ABlinken. cnb.cx/4aZ0YGo

@SquawkCNBC @RichLightShed Good in depth explanation by Rich of all the variables involved in the ‘expected’ acquisition of Warner. What was unexpected-his assessment that it would be beneficial to wait and not rush into buying WB - it may be less expensive to acquire the assets in a year..or so.

“The most interesting buyer for Discovery Global after the spinout is Paramount,” says @RichLightShed of the dueling bids for $WBD: cnb.cx/46gbtDz

@SquawkCNBC @ScottGottliebMD I found it so interesting hearing Dr. Gottlieb’s explanation as to the differences in regulations of baby formula between the US and Europe-and how those differences influence whether companies can update the formulas to improve them…or may be ‘prevented by regulations’.

The FDA is set to review infant formula products and processed food. @ScottGottliebMD explains what to expect: cnb.cx/4rP9nD4
