| 0:00.0 | Good Monday morning. Welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Sarah Eisen with Carl Contania and David Faber. We are live, as always, from post nine of the New York Stock Exchange. |
| 0:14.6 | Coming up this hour, SpaceX shares under pressure again to start the week. Coming off of two negative sessions in a row, but still up sharply from the IPO. |
| 0:21.7 | We'll talk to an analyst who just raised his price target, says the stock is a buy. Plus, |
| 0:25.8 | a big exclusive interview ahead with the Apollo Global Management President Jim Zelter, |
| 0:30.4 | with his thoughts on funding the AI infrastructure buildout, and we'll, of course, get to the latest on Iran, |

| 1:28.4 | of asset markets and the economy, thus evaluating shifts in balance sheets generally and in |
| 1:33.3 | asset prices particularly, must be an integral part of the development of monetary policy. |
| 1:38.6 | I read it in full because I think it's relevant to what we are going through today. |
| 1:42.7 | And a lot of people, you know, if he gave |
| 1:44.2 | this speech today, I think a lot of people would be wondering if the AI trade is irrational |
| 1:50.4 | exuberance. Now, of course, when Greenspan warned of this, there were still another few years |
