Sara asked her questions in a very provoking manner that left the audience uneasy. There is a way to ask deep questions without coming across as arrogant or with attitude. Kudos to Ken for how he handled this interview!

yeah, she's the in-polite one, like always...
I really dislike the "You need to run for President" because one makes some really good points about xyz. Tons of people make good points and it doesn't mean they should be president.

The bar is now low thanks to Trump. Congressional bar is even lower with people like Boebert.

Why are we attacking Russia as an adversary when we ask Ukraine to join NATO when everyone knows we promised no to?

😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her names on several occasions.. And both her success stories on wall street journey!
Great investor and great man. Separately from his wildly successful investing and business career, he's a real patriot who cares about his country and does something about it.
in deep water
Griffin talking the big talk and Sarah Eisen swallowing whole. Let's not forget, even though Griffin is a brilliant businessman he made his fortune by ripping off the retail customer. Citadel knows every order flow by paying brokers for that information. Why do you think the high frequency trades before the open always moves the market for no fundamental reason until it settles at the true price few minutes later because it front runs the house orders to take out all the retail stops. You don't hear Eisen going there.
I love Ken Griffin because EVERY INTERVIEW I've seen him he always explains his position carefully and accurately with data...He's brilliant in my book.

Why does ken always get interviewed by these fine women
Ken is worth listening to. Sara doesn’t ask best questions
For more national security stocks and how to pick stocks based on it look into water related stocks-China is ramping up hydroelectric capacity to boost renewables and curb emissions, with major projects like Baihetan and Wudongde dams leading the charge. This aligns with China’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. In the U.S., increased hydro demand drives infrastructure growth, benefiting engineering firms and utility companies involved in hydroelectric power generation and distribution.

How is he not in a complete panic over GME. What an evil person.
I actually agree with everything ken said every word he’s a bright guy definitely need him to have more influence in the political arena
I need to barrow OJs gloves and see Mr Griffin
mans so comfortable in silence, respect.
"Ken Griffin" is an anagram for "Fringe Fink". o/
Really impressed with Ken. Disappointed with Sara.
Sara is making an terrific job, I love that interview!

painful to watch ken take the hands of sara and do the interview , some questions were just...
Ken sad you sound like a politician . This is why trump is love he talks to the people not elites
Ken would not be a good president!
This lady makes the interview so cringing and uncomfortable. I feel bad for her insecurity!
Mr. Griffin is such a gentleman because this woman was condescending throughout the entire interview. As an investor I echo all the talking points that he touched upon. Peace..

A little awkward yes. Truly condescending, I don’t think so. Maybe she could have changed her tone a bit to make it sound less condescending / awkward.
You care so much about education how much have you donated to HSBCU’s. Ivys leagues don’t need anymore to state afloat there indownments alone trumps some countries GDP
I think Sara Eisen is probably a very nice person! But, wow, also sort of a dimwit. Is that proof too much CNBC makes people stupid?
This guy def is the devil 😂
Mr Griffin is so smart and honest!!
