Interview aired Friday night on Mad Money.

Transcript at CNBC

The largest beneficiary of that largesse was Goldman Sachs, whose former officers rose to influential positions in the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Bank and were at Goldman's helm when these deals were created.

The taxpayer funded bailout of AIG helped Goldman Sachs to avoid potential lawsuits, among other lucrative benefits. See Goldman Sachs: Bullies on the Block.
