I'm not sure what led up to the argument, but Joe seems all torked out because Andrew keeps talking about all these people dying from Covid-19, while Joe wants to focus on something really important, the stock market.

Andrew Ross Sorkin took Joe Kernan to task for spouting RW financial nonsense about how everything was overblown.

... program right now highlighting week over week infection and hospitalization rates !!!

Not only are the week over week rates going up but more people are going to the hospitial but Joe goes back to "everything is overblown" to pump Trumps market.

Don't understand the logic of the MAGA Suckers

People watching these things wonder about their sanity and Sorkin stepped right up and reminded people in the audience, "You're not losing your minds. I'm calling out this nonsense right here and now."

about the importance of human lives over money?

You must be a relative of Joe or anyone else that
places "professional courtesy" above humans.

Tell me, how are you different than Joe?

... points right from MAGALund this time saying people overreacted to CV19 which is straight out of the WH talking points now.

Andrew is data bound and doesn't believe the current stock moves are organic (neither do I, too many broad market indicators these are temp moves) while Joe will repeat what Trump says constantly.

Then you have Cramer ... its a decent program if you like numbers

CNBC is the most fact based money show out there which isn't saying much

That was a real pug out. I just hope it was sincere and not fake.

Sorkin wrote a great book on the financial crash...probably the best.
