| 0:00.0 | It's Jim Kramer here. You're listening to the opening bell of CBC's Squawk on the Street. |
| 0:04.7 | Don't miss a minute of the action. Good Monday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintanee and Jim Kramer at Post-N-N-Kramer at Post-Nine of the New York Stock Exchange. Faber has the morning off. Future is fairly steady coming off all-time highs as we set up for a deadline on tariffs, looking for more deal announcements got some tech M&A, 10 years right around 436. |
| 0:24.0 | Our roadmap begins with some investor confusion around trade as President Trump gets ready to send letters to a dozen countries about imposing tariffs beginning August 1. |
| 0:32.6 | Shares of Tesla hitting the brakes after Elon Musk says he is forming a new political party. |
| 0:38.2 | And the pressures on Powell to cut rates begins to ramp up. Senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, Peter Navarro, |
| 0:43.7 | is going to join us to discuss his scathing new op-ed in the hill today. Let's begin, though, |
| 0:49.2 | with the markets as we enter a new week at record highs. Jim, a lot of discussion about how many |
| 0:53.2 | things are kind of |
| 0:54.5 | working. The news flows pretty steady. We're hitting some technical levels, obviously the highs. |
| 0:59.8 | Yeah, it's funny you say that. I was working this weekend. I've got an annual meeting for the |
| 1:03.5 | club on Friday. And I posited that maybe things are good and they're working. And I said, |
| 1:10.0 | look, I know there are people in this room who are anti-Trump. |
| 1:13.7 | Some people are pro-Trump, of course. |
| 1:15.6 | But the fact is that there are a lot of things that are indeed working. |
| 1:19.7 | And we'll talk to Peter Navarro, but the question is, can you keep buying here? |
| 1:25.9 | Can you keep buying when things are good? And when I go through the research this morning, I mean, people are just kind of saying, listen, it doesn't matter. Very positive piece about G.

But when you look at that company, you say, all right, I missed that one clearly. And it's no, it's not too late. So I think that is the theme. It's not too late. I would like to see a pullback, but just because we're up a huge amount. We're very overbought. While you're away, I just said, it's buy, it's buy, it's |
| 2:01.7 | buy. But we haven't, a lot of things are going the president's way, and I don't see that in |
| 2:08.0 | the press. It is. Well, certainly the one big, beautiful bill, is a huge accomplishment, |
| 2:14.9 | even though there will be some winners and losers, which we'll talk about later. |
| 2:18.9 | July, though, seasonally, average gains is like almost 2%. |
| 2:23.1 | We're coming in hot, but it may not matter. |
