This was also via zero hedge

The comments sections at zero hedge are priceless.

We can't afford not to have single-payer!
From ZH commenters, two videos excoriating Goldman-Sachs--
Video commentaries by Dean LeBaron:
La Fraternité de Goldman Sachs, August 12th
Criminal Behavior: Goldman Sachs, July 24th
BTW, I just get an empty square where the video (?) is.

(Actually, an empty square with a non-functioning scroll bar attached.)

Taleb video problems with embed
I'm not sure why you can't see it - I can. It might be some kind of loading problem (like my dread "too many HTML redirects" from the widget at the bottom of the page!)
Can you see it in the zero hedge link from my first comment?
If not, here's a direct link to CNBC. (Amusingly, the direct link does not work for me. But it may work for others.)
This is a really good discussion with Taleb, and there is some input from Roubini as well. One classic moment is when Taleb chides Roubini for liking Bernanke too much.
