5 stars if not for Joe.

1 star for production, 1 for content, 1 for Becky, and 1 for Andrew. Joe is a fast forward segment, he speaks over guests and with a level of arrogance that benefits no debate. It’s such a value to have a show that is quite centered and displays bipartisan views but Joe truly ruins it. Just skip his segments, you can’t learn from him because you can’t hear the guest.
It’s not a money show, it’s a political show

I used to like this show, but the biased arguing about politics is ruining it for me. I skip most episodes now. I’m not liberal, but it’s difficult to listen to Joe talk over and yell at every guest who doesn’t believe in conspiracy theories or stolen elections. Some of us actually want to hear different views instead of lies and hand-picking their own truths.

Informative. Insightful discussions from various perspectives. Leading executives, experts and thought leaders. Provocative discussions.
Joe is an embarrassment.

I would love to hear about economics and stocks like the old times. Instead I have to listen to MAGA Joe interrupting everyone, spouting his political nonsense. I used to really respect him. Now it is nonstop MAGA deep state conspiracies with occasional market insight. What a sad state from what this show used to be.
