| 0:00.0 | Market moving insight and analysis join Jim Kramer, David Faber, and me, Carl Kintanilla, on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street. |
| 0:14.3 | Good Monday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintania with Jim Kramer, David Faber, post-9 of the New York Stock Exchange. |
| 0:19.9 | Futures eyeing roughly 1% declines as the U.S. and Israel strike Iran for a third day. |
