tom: will jerome powell continue at the federal reserve? edward: we will find out. not a done deal. i am sure joe biden is considering the options and considering whether or not he needs to work on having a broader footprint. i do not think it makes a difference. if he is replaced whoever replaces him will probably be a little bit more dovish than he is. it will not be a tightening. tom: we have to come to the conclusion that chairman hyman would look awfully good. jonathan: i do not think ed wants to respond to that. edward: to not listen to that guy. jonathan: be honest. for you, for the chairman, it is hard for a lot of people to get the direction right. earlier this year it was somewhat straightforward. you knew washington, d.c. would be a tailwind. everyone was revising gdp higher. can you look down to d.c. now and characterize things on the fiscal side, the range of outcomes and how wide they are as you try to generate a decent outlook with some confidence? edward: first, let's not leave the monetary part behind. it is still a huge tailwind. monetary policy le

tom: liz ann sonders was with us and edward yardeni in a moment. we hook up with edward yardeni by wires and the screen turns green. it is amazing. we have the nasdaq finally green on the screen. he moves the markets just by showing up and doing a sound check. jonathan: of 2/10 on the s&p. the nasdaq unchanged. yields up a single basis point. we have to keep going back to it. and i slipped in crude this morning, 75.6 1 -- $75.61. tom: brent crude up 2.4%. we have gone beyond that with some people framing out $100 per barrel. it was one of the tennis -- the toughest acts to lyme economics. this was a million years ago. the guy that replaced him was the same or even better. edward yardeni out of yale brought a huge acuity of linking economics to the markets at cj lawrence and onto a storied career. he joins us this morning, moving the markets green by just showing up. what is the character of this bull market? edward: it has been very broad-based. every now and then people freak out because it looks like it is narrow. . we find that the groups that l

tom: we refrain to the relationships of the market and the bond to lundy's with edward yardeni -- you're tech stocks? >> yes, specifically between the s&p 500 index and the 10-year treasury yield. it is a comparison that liz ann sonders made on her twitter feed. she put on a lot of charts and in the morning, they're pretty insightful. this way got my attention. what we are seeing lately is very different than what we have seen over the past couple of decades, more reminiscent of the.com era in the 90's where in fact you are seeing a negative correlation between tech stocks and bond yields. you're getting a better part of a year as far as that goes. tom: are you channeling insecure -- insync here? that fixes back to 2001. is there a 2001ish element to where we are right now? dave: you can argue it is more like where we were before 2001 because you are talking about the most negative correlation -- most negative the correlation has been since october 1997. we were in the middle of the.com era back then. tech stocks were taking off. -- there was so much focus on the development of the inter

tom: dr. brammer on some of the international relations at the moment. if you're in arizona and you come out to new mexico and go east into west texas, edward ludlow this morningsomething has not been discussed with blue origin. within the mercury redstone of alan shepard and then gus grissom before orbit, there was a stunning lack of preflight testing. the legitimate space race in the 60's and 70's and here we've got major major rocket testing before we throw four people into orbit. how confident is this team of their propellant system? >> they are confident. there are a lot of executives in town last night in the bars and restaurants. they have always maintained that the actual rooster and capsule that are flying today would be tested as a pair twice before. and if those were successful they would send up human beings. they argue it doesn't matter who's in the capsule because it's a fully autonomous program. bezos has done two days of training which has largely involved social media. i'm told they did go into a simulator. they have worked on buckling and unbuckling their harnesses. when instructed, they will unseat themselves, do a somersault, buckle back up

tom: after they get there they take a test and then there is a 20 mile hike. mr. zaslav of discovery, their chief executive officer. this year sun valley is very different. our edwardorts. i have no idea how he pulled the straw on this puppy. ed ludlow with bald mountain behind him. as you know because you ski it twice or three times every winter. there difficult black diamond runs and we have a bunch of billionaires and streaming. they are trying to get down fire trail right now. how will they do that? how will they ski down the wars of streaming? ed: i talked to one executive that made the point this is the first time this group of brain trust ceos have been in person for 18 months and they have pent up energy and anxiety. a lot of the people in the room are his customers or his bankers or his investors. the way to get the true measure of somebody is at 6000 feet elevation in sun valley. tom: within sun valley is the idea the pandemic is over. netflix is doing this, discovery is doing that. what will you listen for here that will get done in six weeks? ed: the message behind the scenes and on the record is this is all business. the pandemic is over despite the re
