neil? >> neil: thanks very much. so how dangerous is this? keep in mind these cases in total numbers are still really small, particularly in this country. they're really targeted at the 99% in that number who have not been vaccinated. it's a good remainder from dr. christopher murray from the institute of health metrics and evaluation. doctor, good to have you. the message is the vulnerable population is those that vice president been vaccinated, right? >> absolutely. those that haven't gotten one of the effective vaccines are madoff likely to get infected. we're seeing some infections even in those that are vaccinated. because the delta variant is so transmissable. >> neil: now, the danger with the delta variant, because it seems to be morphing into something, is there any risk or fear, doctor, that these existing vaccines will not be able to keep up with those changes and some of these other variants popping up? >> the great news about the mrna technology is that both moderna and pfizer feel like they can keep ahead of the variants as they

neil? really with inflation going up, bond rates low, the only game in town is to be in equities and history proves it out any way because every five-year period since 1926 being in equities you have outperformed inflation. so that is why the market in my opinion is continuing its steady trajectory up. neil: shana, let me ask you about that whole reappointment thing, do you think jerome powell will be reappointed? it is still aways off but not too far off before the president presumably will have to make a decision in a few months yay or ney on him? what do you think? >> i think the president and the administration is concerned about continuity. i don't think jerome powell has done anything to upset the applecart, if you will, there are hints out of the administration they would like to appoint people to the federal reserve more aligned with the administration's economic goals which concerns me significantly but i think jerome powell sort of fits that. i would be happy if he was reappointed

neil, it is yours. neil: i won't share that. if 19-pounds wins you the biggest chocolate eating country they're pikers. i could do that at a sitting. excuse me? wait to go, switzerland. they have a claim to something but 19-pounds, really, whatever. stuart, great to see you again, my friend. we're following a lot of developments here, we got a what i call tri team coverage. tri as in three. edward lawrence on the inflation fronts with a lot of folks worried and phil flynn on the oil front not going away by the way. new reports we could see them rise 50% by the end of the year. i don't get it. lauren simonetti following closely this crack down we're implementing on companies that do business in hong kong or at least the fear of a tit-for-tat once we crack down on china on how it has been operating in hong kong. it will be a mess, potentially, we'll see if that could be avoided. first to edward on the inflation front. we got a reminder today, it is not exactly fleeting or transitory, is it? >> we're seeing a three-month trend of i

neil? >> neil: so if you explain the process to me. there's still a separate infrastructure package, $1 trillion, some fighting over irs funding and then this measure. you know, the president has not joined the hit. some republicans are concerned that they're still close, right? >> yes. you have to get clearance. you need ten senators on the republican side of the aisle to clear a filibuster. you need 60 votes. what could happen here and this is the political concern is that you could have some of those republicans say wait a minute, we're not going to play ball because democrats are going to forge ahead with their own bigger bill. chuck schumer has to get his people to stick together for budget reconciliation. and the republicans are saying you're playing dirty pool here. you're doing your own bill, a reason that we weren't going to play ball and democrats will turn around against republicans and say you weren't being bipartisan. a lot of politics in this and next week is crucial, neil. >> martha: . >> neil: all right, chad. we're liv

neil? >> neil: got it., to be clear, this talk of a database that is being established to keep track of who is not yet been vaccinated, that's not the case? that's not true? >> no. she said it very clear. you heard the quote. i spoke to her about it. that's not being done is what she said on the government side. that's not something -- there's no database that the government is keeping according to this white house to keep track of that thing so when you hear people talk and the health secretary may speak more about this tomorrow about officials going door-to-door and things like that, they say that's not government officials. that's -- could be a community leader, church leaders. some of that may come with government funding but it's not government officials carrying it out as far as we understand. >> neil: got it, connell. to katie on the legality of this, whether it's the government or private companies. therein lies the difference. katie, your a former federal prosecutor. how far can an entity -- let's

neil: yeah.ance that out if republicans are right with the inflation that could spiral out of control by the midterms. so some of those same beneficiaries are realizing i've lost awe of this in higher prices for everything. >> yeah. i would just say one note on inflation is that the white house sort of feels like the cake is baked on inflation and that it's largely in the hands of the fed. and if you do offset the $3.5 trillion in new spending or $4.5, whatever number it ends up being, and you have a commensurate a amount of tax increases over ten years, that doesn't add to a lot of inflationary pressure. it'll have knock-on effects, but inflationary wise, the white house thinks this is all the fed and they have to live with the decisions they made which was the initial $1.9 trillion relief package which was over a much more compressed time period. neil: you're right. as polling shows again and again, americans favor this spending. they're also aware of the inflation, but they like the money more

neil? >> neil: you handled that all so well. >> it's very rainy. >> neil: good job. thanks so much.he vladimir putin response here where he's arguing this might be happening in russia but i know nothing about it or something similar. i expect in russia he has his hands on everything going on there. but what do we do about it? >> yeah former kgb operative vladimir putin that takes on any dissident that poses a challenge to his rule but he has no idea where these criminals are and he's not behind them? we shouldn't believe this for a second. vladimir putin has the ability to clamp down on this and he's choosing not to do it, this is a couple weeks after president biden came out of that meeting and told the press there that he gave putin a list of 16 targets that should be off limits for ransom where attacks. so what i want to know is the latest ransom where attacks, were they on or off the list? i don't know which is worst for president biden. clearly president putin understands that he wasn't going to get -- he wasn't the white house said certain ransom where attacks were okay leave

thanks, neil.>> neil: same here, martha. >> martha: so the far left history of sympathizing with communist cuba after a tweet from black lives matter telling fidel castro to rest in power. unearthed comments from the 1619 project and also has some comments worth looking at about how she feels about the government of cuba coming up next. mm. [ clicks tongue ] i don't know. i think they look good, man. mm, smooth. uh, they are a little tight. like, too tight? might just need to break 'em in a little bit. you don't want 'em too loose. for those who were born to ride there's progressive. with 24/7 roadside assistance. -okay. think i'm gonna wear these home. -excellent choice. introducing aleve x. with it's fast, powerfultance. long-lasting relief with a revolutionary, rollerball design. because with the right pain reliever... life opens up. aleve it, and see what's possible. age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in

neil: it has been challenging.k from home will start soon and i can go back to the trading floor background. or maybe back into your studio. that would be great also. tom: you have a countdown clock to get back to the office you can escape the dutta trifecta? neil: it has been on since june of last year. tom: let's talk about the escape from the pandemic. a good jobs report. can you be optimistic we continue this trend? neil: i think so. if you look at the last jobs number, the improvement was driven by two areas. leisure and hospitality and state and local government. that is important because those two sectors are responsible for about half of the shortfalls, half of the key middle of shortfalls since february 2020. it stands to reason we should be optimistic. you know demand for leisure is picking up. you know what the tsa data is looking like. hotel occupancy is look like normal. state and local governments are flush with cash. a lot of people are making arguments about seasonal adjusted factors, the seasonal n

that space race that neil mentioned. neil brings up a very good point. we don't do these things because they are easy. we definitely do them because they're hard. it must be frustrating at times to watch these rockets take off and fail but from failure comes success. we didn't get the light bulb from edison the first time he made it. it was 10,000 tries before he finally got it right. this will be it. space tourism is where it's at. susan mentioned $200,000 initially for the tickets. the prices will come down. certainly when the wright brothers were pushing that plane they weren't thinking about the 747 crossing the atlanta for a few hundred dollars from one continent to the next. >> bill: inventors over time have delivered certain contributions, shall we say. i would say he is not oroville or wilbur and not henry ford but he has supplied the financial support you need in order to get to this point today. >> sandra: and inspiration for the innovation. they'll be taking off shortly from van horn, texas. jeff paul is on the ground there. what is it like ar

neil shearing with us, capital economics chief economist. your mystery of q4 and into q1 of next year? you have any sense of it were you just have to wait? neil: the situation with the virus is changing very quickly. we will get you to gdp data -- you will get q2 gdp data. it is already old news. in many respects it is very difficult to know where we will be at the end of this year into next. with all of that being said, and we have seen evidence in the june durable goods orders that have been soft, that is a bit inevitable. we've already had the v-shaped recovery. i think the growth will come off the boiler. jonathan: we have a case study for how things play out with a covid variant and what that means for the economy. what are we learning about how this is playing out in the u.k.? neil: we have the u.k., we have israel, few places we can look to. the key thing is the extent to which vaccines are playing a role in weakening the links between the infection rate and the hospitalization rate and deaths. in the u.k. there has been encouraging n

brennan -- yes, neil. the separate questions, is there intelligent life in the universe, okay. we've got top people working only. and has intelligent life visited us on earth? these are two very different questions. to answer yes to one does not make a yes to the other. >> excellent. very interesting. neil and john, thank you. >>> up ahead, a story getting a lot of notice. an american sprinter being suspended from the olympics. suspended from the olympics. i just heard something amazing! now for the first time one medication was approved to treat and prevent migraines. nurtec is the first and only option proven to treat and prevent migraines with one medication. onederful. one quick dissolve tablet can start fast and last. don't take if allergic to nurtec. the most common side effects were nausea, stomach pain, and indigestion. with nurtec odt, i treat migraine my way. what's your way? ask your doctor about nurtec to find out! feeling sluggish or weighed down? what's your way? it could be a sign that your

no i do not at this point. >> and by the way. >> yes neil.time to go ahead. >> the separable questions, is there intelligent life in the universe, okay. we have people working on that. and has intelligent life visited us here on our? those are two separate questions. >> excellent. look, very interesting, neal and john thank you. we'll be right back. up ahead, a story getting a lot of notice in american -- suspended on the olympics over marijuana, next. marijuana, next. >> official policy seems way out of step with everything else is happening in our state laws and american life. a gold medal favorite suspended and may ultimately missed the entire olympics for testing positive but not for steroids, positive for marijuana the sprinter talked about it on the today show. >> it was a few days before your big race and the trials you found out that your biological mother had passed away, you found out when our reporter told you and it was after that that you and jested some kind of marijuana. >> on the interview to hear that come from a complete int

and neil, not to over compliment you, you know, who you sound like? >> who?old buddy the great carl sagan. >> on oh, carl sagan. >> well, we hoped that in looking at this we are doing journalism, which is a much lower grade daily attempt at what you both do, can adds a bit more long-term resonanc. but we are digging in to how sagan advises how we think about information, including human biases, which gets in to psychology, take a look. >> if you would believe as the flying saucer occultists would believe. the majority of the visitations, several space ships are coming ever day, as if all the anthropologists would not have converged on one island because there's just having a fish nets there or something. >> does that kind of argument track with some of yourer points leading us to be able to rule something out or just say, very unlikely? >> we need better evidence. that is all. so, in other words, they could be visiting intelligent aliens from another planet. they could be. we cannot rule it out. what is supported in contention of that idea is insufficient. we

>> neil wants to eat his apple. i think he can. kristin, your parents are both astronauts, and i wonder whether you have some perspective about what did they see when they went up? did they talk about the curvature of the earth? what are your memories of the conversations with them? >> reporter: well, it's kind of the same thing that richard branson has been talking so much about, home that he's going to get to see and hoping that he can share with all of his future customers, and that is really just seeing earth from afar, seeing it all in one glance. my mom and dad often talked about how you would never see any boundaries between countries, you could see how thin the atmosphere was, how fragile it was. any time you go into space, people come back and say, oh, my gosh, it was truly a transformative experience. some even call it a religious experience. it really does seem to change a person, and richard branson, he has been talking about wanting to go to space since the late '80s at the latest. he founded this company back in 2004

. >> and, neil, was one of those 50,000. neil in texas. how old were you? >> caller: i was 18 at the time. >> and why did you come to washington? >> caller: basically because i learned that the government had lied to the american people, lied about the basis for the war and i was terribly angered by that. educated myself and decided that i had to go. >> what was it like when you got here? >> caller: i stayed with friends at georgetown and got assigned to dupont circle as a new yorker and having been at other protests i had the model that people would be warned and if you don't leave you will be arrested and it was nothing like that. the police just swept in and grabbed us up quite before we knew what was going on. >> and when you were grabbed by the police, tell us about that. what did they do? where did they put you? >> caller: well, they initially put us in the prison yard at d.c. prison and it was a rather surreal evening, as the sun went down they had distributed blankets and rolling tobacco. so i'm looking around at all these long hairs in blankets, sm

neil: germany is very strong.as started to pick up with the rollout of digital certificates. that is starting to ramp up. you know, it is relatively good across most of europe. the u.k. has lagged a little bit because of the uncertainty around amber and green but lots of pent-up demand. we had a busy weekend. lots of traveling on the weekend. we anticipate a strong week this week out of the u.k. and across europe so it is pretty good. we are across 27 different countries in europe then we see a relatively strong demand and bounceback, which is not to be unexpected. we have seen what happened for example in the united states where domestic flying in the u.s. is now, talking to my colleagues's there, ahead of where it was pre-pandemic. that pent-up demand is finding its way back in looking's. -- bookings. rishaad: fuel prices. how are you dealing with a higher oil price right now? how are you hedging and what price have you hedged at for aviation fuel? neil: a little bit more cautious in our hedging. we are 60% hedg

we do neil diamond's coming to america.w. >> first of all, i love that song. but what i did not know is that neil diamond changed your life, billy ray cyrus? >> he did. i was goings to be a professional baseball player, and was being scouted by the reds and the dodgers at the time. i kept hearing this voice tell me buy a guitar, start a band, you'll find your purpose in life. one thing led to another, oddly enough, i won tickets to a neil diamond concert in charleston, west virginia. it was at that moment i heard, get a guitar and start a band. music is your purpose. i went the next day, bought a left-handed guitar and never played another game. i started a band the very next day and never played another baseball game. i started making my living playing music the very, like the next week. >> what does neil diamond think about this story? >> well, we talked about it. oddly enough, the last show before america closed down for the pandemic, i was with neil diamond in las vegas. it was for the cleveland hospital and all that gr
