What a bunch of rude people. Let the legend talk and stop interrupting. You all had absolutely nothing to say the viewers want to hear.

[cranklesnacks]

I’m here to listen to Ray, not Joe interrupt Ray... so annoying. Let the man speak and finish his thoughts!

[lightaiyee]

That interviewer should learn basic manners and common sense. When you interview someone, you let him talk. Don't interrupt him. Furthermore, the person getting interviewed is Ray Dalio. Joe, do you think people want to hear you or Ray Dalio? Joe, you should be very experienced as a host by now to know that when the audience comes to hear someone wise speak, let him speak so that WE CAN HEAR. You keep interrupting Mr Dalio's, his train of thoughts is broken, how can we benefit from his wisdom and knowledge?
You should watch this video 10 times and reflect what you have done professionally.

THEY BOMBARD HIM WITH QUESTIONS AND THEN THEY CUT HIM OFF WHILE HES TRYING TO ANSWER THEM. INTERVIEWERS-A FAILURE TO PROPERLY COMMUNICATE!!

[TheBriRu]

for God's sake... let this genius talk without interrupting him!

[dancp]

Conversation between huge IQ differences is boring.

[charlesringland]

Thank you, Ray. Invaluable insight. Your composure, patience, and level of humbleness in the face of continuous interruptions were equally impressive.

[livinglife]

Let the man talk y’all ever time he come on y’all talk him down

[duncanbleak]

Joe Joe
Oh where would these 'dismal science' interviews be without Joe's invaluable input!?

[Goldenpill]

You have a legend, Ray Dalios, on your show..let the man speak!

[overcrank]

Why joe is still working there n not fired yet?

[duudleDreamz]

A must see interview with the legendary Ray Dalio, touching on many interesting aspects.

[astro-hmnl]

wow, they interrupt so act like seasoned professionals.

[patelw]

Anchors (the men) need to learn to listen! kept interrupting Ray Dalio while he was explaining. I would have walked out of the interview in the first 5 minutes!

Great interview. Hated the interruptions, but I guess that it's just morning TV and designed to be light and entertaining. It was particularly an issue with Ray, who you get a feeling is a deep thinker who wasn't given adequate time to finish his thoughts. I guess that's why we have the book.

His book is free, easy to find, and worth a careful study. The core insights are in the first 60 pages. After that, it's just lots of examples. It brings up very important topics that we all need to be aware of.

I think it's telling that when someone of Ray's stature and intelligence gets to the philanthropic stage of his life, his first book is about character and his second book is about debt crises. As he points out in this video, they affect our economy so profoundly that they can change our politics and even our international standing. Important topics for voters to be aware of.

Ray is One of the only mainstream guys i listen to. Awesome.

[simabah]

Not only they are rude and disrespectful to Ray and don't understand what he is talking about, they don't even know how to spell the word Crisis. Hey Joe go back to kindergarten, learn your manners and basics of being a decent human being.

[sabinegilson]

Arrgh! I really don't ever make such strong comments, but these people really muffed up this interview imho.
Why do idiot commentators have to interrupt experts just when they are bringing together their thesis with summary thoughts??? The questions you think are so important are not lol!!! Stop trying to show us how smart you think you are, stop embarrassing yourselves, and just let the gurus talk! You turn what could be a helpful and useful commentary into a bs session down to your level. Think of what is actually helpful for the audience, not what you mistakenly think makes you look good lol!

[Skeptic]

Wow ! Free book from Ray !!?? Thanks for the upload...

[davek]

"I didn't ask whether you were sad." HAHAHAHA
