fund bridgewater, created in 1995 in his two-bedroom apartment. today he has 1500 employees and manages $162 billion. dallio is out with a new book, "principles, life and work." 200 rules he credits with success. expanded original principles released online in 2011. published by simmon and schuster, a division of cbs. we're pleased to have you here at studio 57. welcome. >> thank you. >> we're going to talk a lot about the book but talk about the economy first in terms of how you see it and what has been the trump administration's impact on the economy. >> two parts. the economy is in the ideal part of its cycle, business cycle, which means that it's not too hot and it's not too cold and the fed shouldn't tighten monetary policy. so that's it on average. on the other hand it has a lot of debt and obligations, pension
8:12 am
obligations, health care obligations when demographics play a role. that's going to gradually squeeze things. the most important thing is to not talk about the economy but realize there's two different economies. there's the economy for the top 40%, let's say, and the economy for the bottom. so when we think about the trump presidency, we're dealing with the conflict or the dilemmas, divergences between those two economies and the populism that that is then bringing forward to have this election. and then with that, we have to deal with those two economies. that's the biggest issue of our time, i think. >> is it more about the business cycle than it is about administration's legislative or regulatory decisions? >> the legislative and regulatory decisions are matters to change, create that
8:13 am
divergence. in other words, that population, the bottom 60% has not had economic growth. the majority has not had economic growth. rising death rates from opiates and heroin, suicides. they have their own particular challenges. this economy is now in one way or another about dealing with those two different economies. also technology is enter into this, so that it's replacing jobs. in other words productivity is also replacing jobs and creating two different economies. this is the most important economic issue of our time. that is why we have populism. with that populism produces a question of how conflict is dealt with. we have a gap between those the haves and have nots, we have those type of conflicts. that is the most important thing of the presidency. it's not just the u.s. presidency but a world phenomenon. you'll talk about it later in europe. >> the wealth gap is the largest in this country since the 1920s.
8:14 am
>> that's right. the period right now is very similar to 1937. if you go back to 1937, 1929, '32, like 2008, we had a debt problem. interest rates went to 0. they printed a lot of money, bought a lot of financial assets and that rose. just as you point out, in 1937 we were at a similar point. in that 1937 we had a wealth gap, large wealth gap, and we also had a federal reserve that began to tighten monetary policy. >> let's talk about principles, the book. have you heard of this book, "principles?" there is a great line of how you operate. you talk about radical truth and radical transparency. it reminds me of a line from the movie where they go, "you can't handle the truth." you say it's important you tell the truth even though it may hurt people's feelings. it's essential in a good work environment. >> look, we have to start with what's reality, right?
8:15 am
we have to start with what truth is. there are three things in order to be successful. those three things are that you have to lay your honest thoughts on the table. can you do that, lay your honest thoughts on the table? second, you have to have thoughtful disagreement between people who disagree. they have to know how to work those things through so they all learn. third, to be able to go beyond those disagreements in a mthe w >> the key to making good decisions, you have two principles you operate when it comes to making a good decision. >> which ones -- >> being open minded. >> i think what you're referring to. >> get rid of ego and blind spots. >> the two barriers. why can't we be radically transparent and radically open with each other to get at what's true and work ourselves through,
8:16 am
there are two barriers. those barriers are there's an ego barrier. our brains are programmed in a certain way that has to be with the area that triggers the reactions. also we develop the bad habits. like you say, we can't handle the truth. if you can do that, it's a matter of habit. in the book i explain how we actually do that. this has been the key to our success, being able to be that way. so radically open minded. through that getting around also that blind spot area, because nobody themselves actually sees the picture of the same way. there are big picture thinkers, detail thinkers, we need them all. they all see everything very differently. when you can bring that into focus so you can see three dimensions or multi-dimensions and know how to take advantage of it and go beyond it, it's very powerful. >> the thing about this book is great, even if you're not in

8:23 am
not a body coach but a body engineer. >> yeah. when my elbow was in pain basically every day and alex, through his treatments -- this was in 2004 -- he started lengthening and softening all the muscle in my forearm and it took away the tension in the muscle and i was like, god that, makes so much sense. >> pliability can be achieved, in part, by a lot of band work? >> band work will, i would say, increase your strength while limiting the density of the muscle, the dense of the muscle means the less pliable it is. most of our workouts are all resistance bands based. >> brady's sports center doesn't look like an average gym. 90% of the train something done with these flexible bands, followed by very specific massage techniques to focus on problem areas of the body. >> i would say i'm faster now and quicker now than, you know, when i first started playing football, you know, even in high school. >> you're faster at age 40 than, say, age 18? >> yeah, i am.

many cases they don't have an institutionalized role. in the united states, we do from the beginning. >> what was it for you when you were deciding what you were going to do, how you were going to use that office? >> this is my advice to first ladies. start with what you know. i was a librarian, a teacher. those were really important things that had to do with illiteracy and what you want children and families to do together. in fact, right before september 11th on september 8th was the national book festival, the first national book festival that i founded. you know, 100,000 people came to the national ball. it was such a difference, really, between that day and then two days later. >> mrs. bush, you point out, of course, there's no rule book. >> that's right. >> and the first lady is not elected. >> mm-hmm. >> but can have enormous influence. >> you really can have a lot of influence. we know that and look at the history of the first ladies that we've known, ones we've known in
