Capitalism’s New Low in America 9/8/25

Senator Rick Scott (R-Florida) and Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy discuss the latest Gallup poll results: American support for capitalism has hit a new low. In a lively discussion, the two share their ideas for the country’s future, as well as the rise of support for socialism and solutions to the nation’s affordability crisis. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb discusses the agenda of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including restricting access to vaccines. Plus, FHFA Director Bill Pulte has called for Fed governor Lisa Cook to resign over allegations of mortgage fraud, but his own family is now in the spotlight for a similar issue. President Trump joined the crowds at the U.S. Open Men’s Finals in New York, and Squawk Box kicks off a celebratory week! It has been 30 iconic years of ‘squawking’ on TV, as of this summer.
