Key to being a great interviewer.........Let the interviewee speak

I loved that man. He would have been a great president!

I always remember hearing that Home Depot gave its employees stock options and it caused some communities to have the highest concentration of millionaires. That was when a million made you well off.

You are such a great interviewer ! Keep up the great work

Re: the dress code, Ross made his bones as the best salesman IBM ever had and in those days IBM was either grey suits or navy blue suits with white shirts and ties with polished shoes., so little wonder he carried that over to his next ventures. It was pretty much the same when I started my first Engineering job at Martin Marietta in the early 80's; my first V.P. had a policy that the engineers could hang their jackets up when they arrived at work but if they left the department for any reason you had to put it back on (a Ph.D. Aerospace Engineer who works for a large American defense contractor's Missile Systems company).

Ross Perot was a great choice as a candidate in the 90's. I had a lot of respect for him. Everyone passes down opportunities. And a big hats off to a man like Arthur Blank.

Stephen a smith is so calm here

I think If Ross Perot would have played his cards a little bit better and didn’t act weird toward the end of that presidential campaign, he could have won that election. Everyone was talking about Perot. Even My dad made up his mind to go and work on his campaign, then he started to show very bizarre behavior. He was right about the negative aspects of NAFTA and I think Trump learned a lot from Perot as to what not to do in campaigns. He was a very interesting guy.

Wealthy investors know its never good to be in too early or in too late. Ross didn't starve, opportunites are everywhere if you know where to look.

Well Home Depot meant the death of small business hardware stores...so it's not surprising that Ross Perot wasn't interested in investing. Perot was against NAFTA, he wasn't for selling out U.S. jobs and community, which big box stores like Home Depot and Wal-Mart helped to do. Glad this guy and his family are doing well though. He seems well intentioned and worked hard, just not a big picture thinker.

Whenever I think of Arthur Blank, I can't help but remember the look on his and his wife's faces as they stood on the sidelines, in the forth quarter, and watched Tom Terrific tear their hearts out.

Perot served his country in the Navy... Blank was a draft dodger.

Great interview. Thanks!

Arthur Blank looks like a white Stephen A Smith

Jed: "Well, they's a payin' me in a new type a dollar. I heard o' silver dollars n paper dollars n gold dollars. Granny, what's the name o' that new dollar"? Granny: "BILLION dollars ".😎

2m for 50% at that time wouldn't mean he would be holding 50% through out especially with more funds and investors coming in and the company going public.

BEST....INTERVIEWER.....EVER..... 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍😎

I think Ross Perot's biggest mistake was taking a porcupine, putting it in a barn, setting it on fire and expecting to get licorice.

I have a question Graham. I found you on KZfaq a few months ago, and I'm a big fan; but I just recently found out I could watch the full interviews by finding the local station and time on your website. I was wondering when you upload all the clips, does it include the full interview broken up into segments; or are there parts that you don't upload to KZfaq? The reason I'm asking is because if the full interviews have more content I'd like to watch be able to watch them, and I was wondering if they're is any way I could do that? Do you have the full length videos instead of clips somewhere, or could I purchase them somehow?

Arthur man I need one dem ties.... #riseup

Thats $170 billion today

Ouch!

I think Perot pointed out what he did to make them walk away graciously.... And they did. It wasn't for him. Whether he regretted not making the investment is irrelevant IMO. Microsoft should have gotten into Cellphone hardware earlier but they didn't. And they are still a monster. It sounds like this was just a day of business to me.

Should have asked him about all the shoplifting at home Depot.

Can you do a home and home with big herc please? The both of you are very good interviewers.

The Depot's neonicotinoid pesticide-laced flowering plants helped to decimate the U.S.'s bee population. Well done Arthur Blank!

As a person, I like Blank. As a team owner, I could care less about the new stadiums, all the pizazz, just give us a Super Bowl ring already Author.

Sounds like an easy to win discrimination case.

Blank is cool 😎

That 90B would now be worth 152B

Meanwhile, Blank owns an NFL team, and NFL TV ratings are tanking!

Perot was all sales but I don’t think he was much of a leader - EDS was just that little bit much easier to deal with than IBM but then he sells to General Motors.. then Perot Data gets sold to Dell… just don’t get it

Ross Perot was the Greatest President we never had 🇺🇲

The greatest risk for an investor is a lost opportunity.

He talks about Home Depot's values as if they are a good thing, but they way they have scammed customers over "shoplifting issues" that weren't really shoplifting is a disgrace.

Ross Perot was a bit kooky. His employees were like robots.

Dude's team blows a 28-3 lead and he's talking about other people's mistakes? After that game, everyone involved with the Ain'tlanta Failclowns needs to shut up forever.

HD leadership was very wise 😃

All that money and he can’t put together a good team. I’m a Falcons fan for life but c’mon man, rise up!

Omg . Wow

90 BILLION...Aaaauaaaa Pocket Change...

Yeah ok Artie.

Author Blank seems very Humble I'm glad he succeeded in Life

Wow

Come on now. We can turn this rowboat around...Come on..

Ross perot played alf

You got to be kidding me! You missed out on 90 billion dollars!!!!

That's what happens when you become a savanty weirdo. Trying to force others into your adhd routines isn't going to close sales...lol

The Jewish twin Stephen A. Smith never knew he had

Its unfortunate that thousands of employees have to work around poverty when there's 180 billion floating around

Ross Perot was my father, didn't care for this video

Sounds like Perot was more lucky than good.

I shop Lowes! Home Depot is way to involved in Social Politics

Such horse feathers!

Truth be told, Perot is an overrated businessman. Yes, he has tremendous wealth, but it's precisely the kind of bizarre behaviour that won him his fortune that has him missing a major opportunity like this one. It's hardly surprising.

The sweltering drum bodily plug because dorothy acromegaly strengthen for a adaptable sociology. abhorrent, accurate spark

Ross Perot ran for President with all of his good ideas and talked so bad about the government when he had made millions off of them so you can bet he wouldn't change a thing.Ross also backed out at the last minute and threw the election.

28-3

Loved watching him loose the Super Bowl

"I was wearing a blue shirt like yours, maybe not as dark" Graham has a forest green shirt {-_-}

the interviewers hair looks silly. way overdone.
