If they got rid of Kernen it would be a 5, Kernen promotes his personal interests but I have never heard him reveal his holdings just his narrow minded opinions. He talks over other hosts and guests, never any point that is new or enlightened but seems well entrenched in a 50s era style economics. Win win replace him with one of the existing journalists, Squawk becomes more progressive, he can find a home at Fox where their closed minded viewers enjoy biased reporting. Not an age issue, Crammer has great wisdom and an ever evolving outlook.
