Market moving insight and analysis join Jim Kramer, David Faber, and me, Carl Cantonia, on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street. Good Tuesday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm David Faber. He is Jim Kramer, and we are live from post-9th, the New York Stock Exchange. Carl has the morning off. Let's give you a look at futures as we get ready to begin trading a half hour from now. You can see we're set up for a lower open. Nothing happened in the way since I got up at 3.30. Nothing. Okay. Thanks for that color. Let's get to our roadmap this morning. It begins with, well, we're on TechWatch, AI jargonaut. Invita, if you haven't heard, it's set to report its quarterly results. That'll be tomorrow after the bell.

Apple also announced its succession plan for its longtime CFO.

0:43.2

Plus media veteran Edgar Bronfman drops his bid for Paramount, its parent national amusements.

0:48.1

That clears the way for that $8 billion skydance deal that was already signed up.

1:36.4

That's the mindset. The other is that there's just not enough money coming in, back market

is that typically when you have a Fed cut, you have money going in and it goes into the hot group

1:51.5

and then it doesn't come out of the not so hot. It actually goes in a little less. So typically what
