“The Young Turks” is in live technical rehearsals this week, which is great practice for us but a bit tough on our producer who works to book guests to come in and talk with Cenk and the gang. So far this week, Ben Mankiewicz has done a killer Antonio Villaraigosa, the mayor of Los Angeles, and Lucas Lilieholm has stood in for an editor from Wired magazine to talk about the Stop Online Privacy Act.
One brave patriot, however, actually volunteered to come in and do a real test interview: Nomi Prins, former general manager of Goldman Sachs and author of a new historical novel called Black Tuesday, joined Cenk to discuss former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson meeting with hedge fund managers in secret to explain that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be bailed out.
Watch the interview below:
