and in some maturities, if we can get to the next chart, michael collins, in your view, are some maturities trading too tight to the sovereign? michael: yeah, i think you have to price -- there is much more inherent volatility in data associated with it. you have to price it off the sovereign. we saw the price going down. we boug the sovereign should perform well. jonathan: so you were a part of that move. >> we generally try to avoid this. it looked really rich to us. the sovereign owns it. they can tax it, and they will in some cases, extract that entire $200 billion in earnings of ebitda as a tax, like they do in mexico. they were 300 over the sovereign in some parts of the curve. jonathan: bob, do you think this was a sign of risk appetite going too far, or was this idiosyncratic to this week? bob: i think it was more idiosyncratic. i think it was a new issuer, a lot of people wanted the name, interesting story. as i said before, people overpaid for it. jonathan: great to have you with us. coming up on the program, the auction block. a risky hotel in a yield hungry market. that conversa

[applause] speaker pelosi: brian is writing a book on michael collins, and as a new yorker, there was the flag president kennedy brought here when he came as president is really a product of new york. the new yorkers are very proud of that. a representative from connecticut. from washington state, from michigan, a freshman member of our delegation from nevada, and the only member of congress who has a parent, his father born in ireland. [applause] speaker pelosi: we traveled during holy week, a holy week tinged with sadness with the tragic fire of one of the greatest jewels of history and celebration of notre dame de paris, and we praise the firefighters who were able to control the damage and save lives and the many wonders of that cathedral. what we have here, we are deeply honored by the extraordinary welcome we have received, from our very special meeting to the warm greeting, to the beautiful presentation of irish history and the vitality of irish culture that we enjoyed last night at the gpo, and to the invitation to dublin castle tonight. thank you for taking the lead on this m

we inspire each other, and that is why young michael collins found inspiration for his vision of a new ireland in the work of a poet, walt whitman, stating that collins is known to have frequently carried with him whitman's leads of grass. ireland is one of the youngest nations with the oldest civilizations. a land of perseverance, one with of conquest and famine, conquest and heartbreak and heroism, and you are a land of progress, whose people forge prosperity from poverty, internationalism from insularity, and diversity from homogeneity. from famine, ireland has emerged as a confident and ascended nation on the forefront of modern, global economy. today, the emerald isle is firmly a world leader in technologies in the clean economy, even pioneering methods to harness the great sees that break along the legendary coast of ireland. is the world threatened by the climate crisis, recognizing that our future prosperity depends on bold action for sustainability, but we know, both of us know, that ireland and the united states, we must do better, and we must do more, and we can do it togeth

it was the michael collins. >> why do you like to see that? >> it was elation. it was relief because this is before you publish the first story. these are sort of in parallel so we're still looking for that, something, tangible something. we are confident no sourcing a travel the papers just like another layer of comfort. i hope i am adequately describing with myop wavering voice and facial expressions. so anyway, what the worst problem with the resolution because it was created in late september and dissolved in october, mid october before the payment had been made, and so it turns out we didn't know why but we suspected maybe michael cohen had been something computer, rest of the paperwork somehow. we look at all of the corporation created on the day that resolution consultants was dissolved and that's how we found essential consultants. essential consultants, we polled document skin and, of course, there was michael cohen's name. then it goes good push and push and push with our sources to actually confirm essential consultants wasas the one used. i'm sorry i

you know, armstrong is a sustainable hero, in my mind, and buzz aldrin, still alive with us, michael collins so often, we have big moments in history, pearl harbor or 9/11, the kennedy assassination, they're tragedies, but neil armstrong going to the moon was -- brought the country together and believing that an aroused democracy can accomplish anything. >> let's listen to jfk capturing the nation's imagination, 1962 address by him. here it is. >> we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept. one we are unwilling to postpone. and one we intend to win, and the others, too. >> you say that kennedy was an amazing salesperson for space. how important do you think his personality and his leadership and inspiring america to go to space, go to the moon? >> it was everything. when he debated richard nixon in 1960, he scored a lot of points when he looked at nixon and he said, y

and along with michael collins and buzz aldrin and president nixon can call apollo 11 a success.houston, they put kennedy's 1961 pledge and under it task accomplished and fulfilled kennedy's dream even though he wasn't proud. >> you're very proud of your affiliation with rice. i want to ask you a rice-centric question. roll it. >> okay. >> we choose to go to the moon a in this decade and dot oth the thing. not because they're easy, but because they're hard. word s uttered where you teach students. in the book, you say you that tell your students when it was time for aldrin and armstrong to leave the moon, they left mind mementos. what did they leave? >> they left a little packet. and in it were kind of a peace medal but also memorial medals for soviet cosmonauts who had died that our astronauts were competing against. also, parts of russia's program are left on the moon by american astronauts. it was a great moment of healing between the united states and soviet union. and all of the soviet papers were celebrating that america had actually won. they didn't mean it. today, the maj
