20/20 ABC News Kristina Kendall pre-interviewed Mark Henkel -4- Jan 2008

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was pre-interviewed a 4th time by Kristina Kendall, producer for John Stossel, on "20/20" on ABC News TV, on January 24, 2008. This episode is the second of the two newly-found "lost interviews" for this specific television project. This half-hour interview occurred two weeks after the producer and Mark Henkel had flown together to film and interview a UCAP (Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy) family from Mark Henkel's organization for three days, in preparation of the project.  The purpose of this additional pre-interview was to prepare for the next step of flying Mark Henkel to New York for the formal taped interview with John Stossel himself (on January 30, 2008) for the segment that eventually aired on July 18, 2008.  Herein, Mark Henkel makes his startling, hilarious, yet powerful soundbite about the hypocrisy in the same sex marriage debate: "Marriage controllers say that they are usually conservatives for limited government, but instead what they are, they're like straight men who offer their backsides up to big government and wonder why they get screwed. And then they wonder why homosexuals want to join in their orgy of socialism."  As the producer later ran through some of the soundbites captured from the earlier interview with the UCAP family, she re-stated one of the great lines from one of the wives who said, "It's better to have nice, good husband that you share than to have a mean, abusive scum to yourself."  The producer conducted herself as one of the most professional, compassionate, and understanding producers to have ever interviewed Mark Henkel.  She even declared to him, "You are so sweet" and "You are an amazing advocate." http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com
