Hey everyone, some exciting news to share. It is our 100th episode of Boss Files. It has been

quite a journey, and I'm so glad you've been along with us for the ride. So I just got back from

our Citizen by CNN conference. It's a live event with newsmakers across industries talking about

critical issues. Former Goldman Sachs, CEO Lloyd Blankfine, joined me on stage, and we talked about a issues. Former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfine joined me on stage,

and we talked about a lot. He says capitalism is not dead, but it must be more fair. He was born and

raised in Brooklyn public housing. He made it to Harvard by age 16 and then made millions on Wall Street,

so he has known both sides of the proverbial tracks.

So how does that inform him today as America grapples with vast inequality?

We also talked about his Twitter feud with 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

You should check that out if you have not seen the exchange.

I asked him what he thinks of Sanders' statement

that billionaire shouldn't exist in America. He told me he's open to the rich paying more in taxes.

Should I pay more tax? I sure as heck would be willing to pay more tax if I could buy a more,

you know, a happier and less polarized society for sure. He also shared his thoughts about President Trump's temperament. Do you think that President Trump's temperament is a net positive for the country right now? No, it's not a net positive. I don't think anybody thinks his temperament is a better. So how much is it hurting this country and the world's age? I'm not putting words in the president's lip. He says it himself.

He has a nationalist agenda.

So let's jump in right now to my live conversation with Lloyd Blank Fine at Citizen by CNN.

I really appreciate you being here.

We've talked over the years.

But you are in a new position.

You are no longer CEO of Goldman Sachs. So you are free to say a little bit more about what is actually on your mind. I didn't even know. I didn't remember. I had to go on Google to figure out how to tie a tie this morning. Yes. I don't believe that. Okay. So let's just dive right in. Mark Benioff, Salesforce founder and CEO told me last week, uneivocally capitalism is dead. Is it?

Unequivocally, no. It's not dead. It's not dead. We're the envy of the developed and frankly the underdeveloped world in terms of our system.

There's no doubt in my mind. It is always needed to be tinker with. There's no doubt in my mind.
