Jim Cramer and Scott Wapner led off the show with a look at key inflation and retail data on day one of what some are saying is the most important Fed meeting of Chair Jerome Powell's tenure.

The anchors engaged in a wide-ranging discussion about comments Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman made on CNBC -- he said he believes this year's big rally in meme stocks could be "a recipe for disaster."
