Kyle Bass pawns BBC's HARDtalk 
I realize that the BBC’s HARDtalk is supposed to be an in-your-face, pseudo debate/interview program but the least they could do is have hosts who actually know what they’re talking about.
Kyle Bass on the other hand knows his shit cold, and on the show last Friday the subprime superstar didn’t hold back on taking down Sara Montague’s accusive, somewhat insulting rhetoric and absolutely decimated her absurdly sensationalist arguments. All that while giving one of the most succinct explanations I have ever heard on what happened during the crisis, what led to it, CDS's, the current plight of Japan, Germany, the future of the EU, guns, gold, and his supposedly “highly fortified” fort in Texas. Truly great stuff.
People should learn not to dick around with someone who looks like Tony Soprano.
Videos after the jump.
Anybody else felt like strangling the host?
Have a good one WSO.

Ya the host is obnoxious, but
Ya the host is obnoxious, but Kyle Bass = the man. If Greenspan traded the dot com bust for the housing boom, what trade is Bernanke making right now?

i honestly cant stand this bitch. she is the worst interviewer alive. die
This was ok, but it isn't
This was ok, but it isn't anything different from what he has said before and the interviewer wasn't nearly as bad as everyone posted about. Besides cutting him off a few times, she was pretty respectful.
"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
In the first video from 15:22
In the first video from 15:22 to 19:01 ..... rape
Here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, you are the sucker.

I really get annoyed with
I really get annoyed with interviewers ask questions with an interrogational tone and they get a response that refutes their central argument, they don't know what to say, so they move on to another accusation, which is then refuted, and so on.
Bass sounds like Zachary Quinto.

Wow after watching this video
Wow after watching this video I did some research on him, really really impressed! He knows his shit.
Another video (longer) that is great:

Anyone know anymore about him? I found that he is based in Texas and was youngest ever Bear Sterns MD. After watching the video I attached, he might be my new favorite expert.
Bass is a stud. I'm impressed
Bass is a stud. I'm impressed at his somewhat calm demeanor.
She is lost and only knows whats written on her sheet.
I've seen him speak several
I've seen him speak several times since he came to prominence shorting subprime. His intellect is blinding. Last time was probably early 2010 as memory serves but he was all over the European sovereign debacle (really global sovereign debacle) the first time I saw him ~2.5 years ago. Last time he was talking about storing physical uranium, along with the physical gold he mentions in the video.
His letters to investors are easily accessible on the internetweb and well worth a read. They trickle out irregularly as they are ~30 pages long but definitely worth hunting down.

Great insight Cartwright. Would you mind PMing me ones you have/found (or you can just post them here). I'm going to do a search as well.
Great interview, I posted it
Great interview, I posted it on a finance site www.mortgagebestrate.co.uk and the readers' response was.... this guy really understands the fundamentals of finance.
