worst interviewer ever. let the man talk!

[novoscapitalistas]

"Does he suggest paying welfare checks in stock? " No.

[Anarkokommunist]

Please, let the guest talk!

Who's the host and who is the guest in this interview? I can't help from thinking the host is trying to tell the guest and the viewers how much he knows. If he would just shut up and let the guy, the scholar, the professor...talk, this would have been a lot more interesting.

Christ, who's the host and who is the guest in this interview? I can't help from thinking the host is trying to tell the guest and the viewers how much he knows. If he would just shut up and let the guy, the scholar, the professor...talk, this would have been a lot more interesting.

Ashford's argument is strikingly similar to Smith's argument for free trade.

What idea?! Does he suggest paying welfare checks in stock? Perhaps, if you let you guest talk, we might not have wasted the whole hour.
