Overview

  • Jim Cramer inadvertently uttered “What the fuck” on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street while analyzing U.S. trade deals with the U.K. and European Union.
  • He immediately interrupted himself and offered profuse on-air apologies, repeatedly insisting he “took it right back.”
  • Co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla reassured Cramer that the slip was understandable given the fast-paced, unscripted nature of the segment.
  • Later on X, Cramer called his comments “too effusive” in expressing enthusiasm for the economy and apologized to viewers in a formal post.
  • The host’s prompt acknowledgments appear to have settled the matter, with no further repercussions reported.
