The Early Show's "Backstage Live:" My Interviews with Lou Dobbs and Wyclef Jean

Every weekend during "The Early Show on Saturday Morning," CBSNews.com live streams a show called "Backstage Live" where we chat with guests -- backstage -- and interact with viewers live online for two hours during the TV program. It's interesting, because it's really the first time a network early show has experimented with a simultaneous live online extension. It's always a blast and an honor to be part of, and I really do believe this 360-degree viewing experience is the future.

This weekend two fun guests stopped by -- Lou Dobbs and Wyclef Jean.

Here's my interview with Lou Dobbs, who has always been quite vocal about his thoughts on immigration control and is now coming out in support of Arizona's recent controversial immigration bill. He told me his thoughts on a solution involving "border security first before even discussing the legal status of the 12-20 million illegal immigrants."

"The people of Arizona have a critical problem," Dobbs said. "Seventy percent of the people of Arizona likely voters support this legislation that number one, they support it because Phoenix has one of the highest crime rates in the country. It has a crime rate that approximates New York City, a city eight times its size...This is a clear and present danger that is insecure borders which are being crossed by drug smugglers, human smugglers as well as illegal immigrants every day by the thousands. No state has the number of illegal immigrants passing than Arizona does...American people better understand, it's time for constructive engagement on this issue. It's time to solve this problem. It's time to secure those borders and create a rational, effective immigration program on this problem."

Here's my interview with Wyclef Jean, who made a surprise appearance on the show. While his non-profit, Yele Haiti Foundation, has raised 7 million dollars in aid for Haiti, the charity was also criticized earlier this year for not being fiscally responsible. He talked to me about the current situation in Haiti, his response to the scrutiny and what he's planning next:

"They called me a thug hippie. That means I'm proud to be from the hippie generation but was reborn, and some people call me a thug because I've been revolting," Jean said. "Yele was created from grassroots. I always believe in grassroots organizations, and the scrutiny came in the course of 24 hours. A million dollars came from the texting, and it was probably the fastest text ever, the fastest in history. Automatically it raised a red flag. People were like, 'Yo!' Keep in mind this is my charity I've been trying to get off the ground the past five years going to Haiti back and forth. So when the scrutiny came, if you notice the difference with me is my charity is grassroots ground up. I wasn't doing a charity to get a tax break. I was really passionate about it. What happened when they dug into our asses, they were like 'Yele hasn't paid their taxes in this amount, Wyclef took this money and paid himself through Monaco...' After they went and checked everything, I didn't break any laws. Like I said on Oprah, did we make mistakes as a charity, yes, but I wasn't the accountant. I'm not going to throw my accountant under if the taxes was in foul, I'm not going to throw the president under. I'll take the blame in the sense of saying those were mistakes made, how do we move forward? So I took the leadership of the governance and now we have a new major accounting firm and we're in the process of getting a CEO to run Yele Haiti, because it's huge right now."
