A Labour Win, A Boeing Decision, & Debating the Debate 07/05/24

Squawk Pod

After a landslide win for the Labour Party in the UK, Sky News anchor and former CNBC anchor Wilfred Frost explains Keir Starmer’s support, his policies, and the future of the nation’s economy. Here in the US, Democrats are debating the results of the Presidential debate, including whether President Biden should step aside. CNBC’s Megan Cassella reports on the high stakes for President Biden’s TV interview on Friday, and author and professor Adam Grant explains the psychology at play, both for Biden and for the Democratic Party. Friday marks a deadline for Boeing to either plead guilty or go to trial against the Department of Justice over the deadly crashes of 2018 and 2019 and the quality mishaps in subsequent years. Former United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz considers the costs of each decision, as well as the state of the travel industry at large. Plus, the June jobs report is out–and it’s a set of conflicting labor metrics to inform the Federal Reserve’s next policy decision.
