michael: it's very difficult. the challenge for ryanair's you have lufthansa as a state-funded monopoly. they were able to buy up the small german airline. at the first sign of the crisis, they get state aid from the german government. blatantly anticompetition, completely distorts the market in germany, but we are where we are. germans will still want the lower fare alternatives. ryan will be the airline providing that, and there are german airports where the towns that has significantly cut back capacity. they will focus their efforts on that. and the other german airports will need ryanair to deliver them growth and recover the traffic they lost because of the huge and unprecedented lufthansa cutbacks. manus: you mentioned you are ready to take opportunities, ready to grow the business. where is the biggest opportunity for you? you often say there is a carrier going to the wall. how do you grow as you come out of covid, michael? michael: the greatest thing we have grown is we need new aircraft delivery. our cap

michael: it certainly does help. we are looking for growth to be solid this year and what this tells you is when fiscal stimulus arrives to household balance sheets it does get turned around fairly quickly and materializes in economic activity. this is largely attributable to the aid package packed at the end of last year. we suspect will be getting around a $1.5 trillion aid package by the middle to the end of march. this means we should see a rapid acceleration in demand and household spending as we move into the second quarter, which could be continued if vaccinations continue apace and mobility recovers over time. it does confirm our expectations about growth for this year, at least initially. there is 11 more months to go. lisa: can you connect retail sales and a one month pop after passing a stimulus plan to longer term growth? how neat is that line? michael: i would not say it is entirely neat. there are a list of things that have to happen, including vaccinations and getting on top of the pandemic and perhaps

what's your reaction to that, michael? what do you think it says about donald trump's respect for lack thereof, for the american taxpayer? >> he certainly doesn't care. the only thing that he wants is that the american taxpayers should continue to foot the bill for him and his family. i have never heard of such a thing, that post a loss in an election he now gave his children six months more on our dime. so, you know, secret service, protection. meanwhile, i saw in the newspaper jared kushner, as an example, made over $120 million last year. i am certain that he can afford his own security. i don't think it's right that the american people should be paying for their security. i mean, it just -- to me, once again -- donald trump's motto, if it's free, it's for me. that's what he's doing here. he's just taking advantage of whatever it is that he can take advantage of, even after he lost the election. >> okay. let's get to the newest episode of your podcast. it is featuring your interview with stormy daniels, the william you

in terms of michael cohen, very interesting. so, you know, i actually watched the cohen hearing today when he testified before congress. and some of the attacks that were made by the republicans will probably be made if he testifies in a trial, assuming that trump or someone close to him is indicted. and i thought those -- if handled correctly by the prosecutor, those will ring hollow. basically the attack is, this is a perjuring witness, this is somebody who lied to congress, how dare we have as a witness somebody who lied to congress. well, okay, but that doesn't end the story. i mean, i've put witnesses on the stand who had committed perjury, who had asked others to commit perjure. and that's not the question, if that were the question, we wouldn't put them on the stand. the question is are they telling the truth now. you have to ask why did michael cohen lie to congress? it was obviously to protect donald trump. it's not like donald trump corrected that testimony afterwards even though he presumably knew the truth. so you ha

michael: absolutely. one of the interesting things which is happened over the last 12 months is a massive recovery in equities earnings. we had a dramatic rise in commodity prices from last winter to where we are today. but many safe haven assets are still lower yield with regard to bonds, whether it is u.s. treasuries, high-quality corporate bonds, the yen, the swiss franc, currencies that would typically function as safe havens. right now we are talking about commodity prices rising sharply the next 12 months, the fastest growth we have seen in the united states in decades. the u.s. economy could grow faster than the chinese economy in 2021, which i thank no one would have believed was possible a year or two ago, or several years ago. so all of these things are changing the narrative of what is going on in the world, and these boom conditions could continue. what that means is that the levels of interest rates we thought were restrictive for the u.s. economy may not be restrictive because there is so mu

[ laughter ] >> probably both at this point. probably both are. i think probably in one sense for the same reason. i think there is, at least from some of the folks i've talked to, certainly on the democratic side, there really is this sort of coursing through the veins right now to get back into the swing of policy and debating around whether or not we spend a trillion dollars or $2 trillion and not for the pure partisan nature of those conversations and those debates but seriously to figure out what is the right mix of funds to spend and do we do infrastructure now and how do we continue to address covid-19? so i think there is some of that that's beginning to emerge after what has been really four and a half years of on again, off again policy making. the biden team has struck that nerve, i think with a lot of folks on capitol hill so that's something to watch as this proceeds, which is why administration s

and the second thing is, michael ignores the analysis. the analysis is, not about the scholarship changing. it's that section 1 of article 3 says they have an option to disqualify. how can you have that option if you don't have a trial? and the only people who are eligible for that are people who've been removed. why isn't this resonating? >> well, we can go back a lot further than obama and matt gaetz to see the origins of this, chris. the -- when the constitution was debated, the example that the framers pointed to over and over again was the hastings impeachment. guess what, an ex-official. when they voted on belknap in the 19th century to impeach, guess what, an ex-official, john quincy adams said i could be impeached to my dying day. so whatever the back and forth, this is not a close question. that's why it's not resonating, that's why it's being seen as partisan ducking and dodging by the republicans and the mere fact that the -- i think it is a false symmetry to say that both sides are taking their political -- their usual politic

what was it like when you first saw michael play against your dad, yes, stories about michael and your dad playing. something that stuck out to you when you were younger? >> who doesn't have a michael story? growing up watching -- some -- some bulls, hornets playoffs series. i don't remember which year just remember watchingmight actually in the last dance but one of the playoff series, i think '96, maybe '97. played against them. they got a win on the road. we were, me and my brother were watching at home. with my mom. and we had a little tv in our room watching the game and she had one out in the living room, and -- when they got it done, one game in the series, and we acted like we won the championship. she ran in the room, busted the door open, jumped on the bed, we were screaming, going crazy. went to school the next day and everybody, all they were talking about. didn't win the series, though. so it's -- kind of one of those things when you're a hornets' fan going against the bulls you celebrate all the little things. >> storytime with steph. and stanford at wazzu. former coach k

security policy analyst michael maloof michael good to see you what can we take from president biden's this isn't to a point samantha power as usaid had. when biden's going back to his comfort zone and he's just as you pointed out he's emphasizing the plough mysie. samantha power was. head of our head of the you was the u.s. representative to the u.n. in it which was of obviously diplomatic and but her approach has always been very assertive she's basically she has pressed human rights she's fanatically anti russian as you as you have pointed out even though she conceded in a recent book she just published that there were areas where the united states and russia could agree and they could. have particular where their interests aligned with each other the interesting thing about this is you as your schematics pointed out was that she backed u.s. military intervention in syria in libya and also yemen now that means that she's going to be. providing more of an assertive diplomacy if you will even going so far as advocating military alliance where she will in effect be weaponized a humanit

in terms of michael cohen, very interesting. so, you know, i actually watched the cohen hearing today when he testified before congress, and some of the attacks that were made by the republicans will probably be made if he testifies in a trial, assuming that trump or someone close to him is indicted. and i thought those -- you know, if handled correctly by the prosecutor, those will ring hollow. basically, the attack is, you know, this is a perjuring witness. this is somebody who lied to congress. how dare we have as a witness somebody who lied to congress? well, okay, but that doesn't end the story. i mean, i've put witnesses on the stand who have committed perjury, who had asked others to commit perjury, and that's not the question. if that was the question, then we wouldn't put them on the stand. the question is not whether they lied before, it's whether they're telling the truth now. so you've got to ask yourself, why did michael cohen lie to congress? well, it was obviously to protect donald trump. and it's not like donald

michael: i don't see it that way. this is the modern version of the thriving marketplace that existed in every city. either farmer's markets on the weekends or on city streets, what amazon enabled is small business is flourishing online. it could not have come at a more critical time than the time we are in now. as much as we would like to feel good about our start, we have a long way to go to create a big enough footprint that would tilt the market in any way. and every year there is new merchants coming in, younger, hungrier, more creative entrepreneurs coming in. i think some of them will remain independent, some will partner with us. the most important benefits to consumers, as you said, there will be some you have a meaningful relationship with. you want to come back to it as you search for new things. you will diversify and find what you like on amazon, which is what their mission is. emily: i will be watching, or should say shopping. michael ronen, branded cofounder and president. thanks so much for joining us
