It's ON! Jon Stewart v. Jim Cramer CNBC "financial wizard!?!"

[Up2Late]

It's ON!

Looks like they are doing a full show triple, because he was already on in segment one!

[NeedleCast]

1. Cramer already waffling and backing down

Well, that took 30 seconds...

[spanone]

2. cramer has some creepy body language

[CreekDog]

134. like he's about to cry

oh well.

he decided to walk the thin ice --for years!

and made a killing too.

[BuyingThyme]

3. Woohoo! Play by play, please.

[notadmblnd]

4. Whaaaaa. He got it wrong. Lots of people got it wrong, he says

Lying sack of shit. I saw your video the other day explaining how you manipulate the market. I heard you say you get off on fucking off other peoples money and putting it in your own pocket. Fuck you Jim Cramer!

[Gregorian]

5. Cramer is petrified. :)

Damn, what fun.

[NeedleCast]

8. No question

He can't back-peddle fast enough. I think he's realized he can't win this fight and is in total damage control mode.

[Gregorian]

9. Oops. Jon's got the tapes.

No wonder he's scared. He's being exposed.

[NeedleCast]

16. This is just brutal

I haven't seen a schooling like this in awhile.

This is the sound of Cramer's career coming to an end. Believe it.

[NeedleCast]

19. We Need to Make a Drinking Game Out of This

Every time Cramer says "You're Exactly Right" we all take a drink.

[Parker CA]

24. I'd take that bet. Cramer is getting absolutely slaughtered. He has no idea what to do

but to apologize for everything and bumble his words over his tongue like a super ball bouncing around on the pavement.

"I understand you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a fucking game." Silence from the audience. This is the unraveling of Cramer on national television.

[CreekDog]

135. he should have never taken on Stewart

and he should have passed on this interview.

but he decided to take on someone who had the goods on him.

well that's the way it goes.

[Juche]

67. Which is incredibly sad

It shouldn't take a comedy show to be the only one to ask these kinds of questions.

[aaaaaa5a]

129. You are exactly right!

This reminds me of the Iraq war when Stewart and other comedians were the only people asking tough legit questions?


Where are the supposed journalists?

[aaaaaa5a]

You are exactly right!

This reminds me of the Iraq war when Stewart and other comedians were the only people asking tough legit questions?


Where are the supposed journalists?

[aaaaaa5a]

130. You are exactly right!

This reminds me of the Iraq war when Stewart and other comedians were the only people asking tough legit questions?


Where are the supposed journalists?

[aaaaaa5a]

131. You are exactly right!

This reminds me of the Iraq war when Stewart and other comedians were the only people asking tough legit questions?


Where are the supposed journalists?

[Garbo 2004]

132. The toughest interviewer in TV is on Comedy Central, the most trusted name in news.

As a bonus, they bring on the funny, too.

[fishwax]

89. with good reason

good stuff

[Up2Late]

6. And they're back!

Asking him about "In Cramer we Trust" thing!

[Parker CA]

7. Cramer's tone is exactly like a 4th grader getting reprimanded by the principal for misbehaving.n/t.

[Cha]

17. It's embarrassing but

I guess Cramer decider that was the best way to end this thing with any modicum of respect.

Viva Jon Stewart.

[gmudem]

10. Jeez Stewart is killling him.

This is a total mismatch.

[notadmblnd]

11. showig a bit of the online video

cramer says, I'm trying to help people. Jon plays him saying "it's very satisfying" to manipulate the market. John says he wants the CNBC Cramer to save him from the Cramer on video.

[Minimus]

12. Jon is really embarassing him - showing the old videos.

This is great TV!

[Up2Late]

13. Ouch, going to the 2006 internet video of him talking about his Hedge Fund days!

That hurt!

[Gregorian]

14. Jon is putting in layman's terms. No more bs jargon.

However, he knows exactly what's going on. Pegging him.

[VenusRising]

15. This is awesome!

Shove those tapes down his throat, Jon!

[Up2Late]

18. Damn, this feels like the school principal lecturing the class clown...

...this is almost hard to watch.

[Minimus]

20. Almost.

[Gregorian]

22. Like the school bully getting his pants pulled down. In front of everyone.

It's downright wicked. A real spanking!

[Oak2004]

119. Except it's worse: the class clown is lecturing the wannabe school principle nm

[progressoid]

21. Jon's spanking him hard.

[Oak2004]

23. John Stewart deserves a Pulitzer

our "reporters" on the other hand are all a bunch of comedians.

[Lisa0825]

28. ABSOFUCKINLUTELY!!! nt

[NeedleCast]

32. I Second This Motion

[Up2Late]

84. Exactly Right n/t

[pacalo]

118. Throw in the Edward R. Murrow Award, too.

[Motown_Johnny]

25. Cramer is fucked..... Stewart just pwned him badly

showing that he treated finance as a game .....

[Johonny]

26. this is just painful

Cramer is getting punched, he's down and he can't get up.

[Motown_Johnny]

31. not as painful as being in your 60s and losing your 401K

[HughMoran]

108. My Mom's in her 70's

I was like Who the fuck advised you to be mostly into stocks at age 75?? Her TIAA-CREF adviser, she answered. I want to kill that mother fucker (it's an expression, don't take it seriously.)

[TahitiNut]

74. It's because he doesn't have a leg to stand on. That's what happens.

This is "low hanging fruit" for Jon.

[Gregorian]

27. So it ends up that Jon Stewart is the responsible man in the news industry.

And it's a comedy show.

DAMN! This is historic.

[Lisa0825]

and it's far from the first time. He's owned it for a few years now. nt

[BrklynLiberal]

35. It is way, way beyond IRONIC.

[ShortnFiery]

37. It's also DEPRESSING: with rare exception, the only TV personas with "moral courage" are comedians.

[Up2Late]

41. It's been like that since at least 2004...

...Jon is my hero.

[FVZA_Colonel]

79. The guy hosts a show on fucking Comedy Central.

I love him and his work, but still... it's Comedy Central!

[pacalo]

121. And see how Jon Stewart's "comedy" has them upset enough that on every NBC

outlet they're smoothing over for Cramer, including having him make a special emergency guest appearance on the "Today" show.

Jon may truthfully tell the news in comedic fashion, but it's not to be shrugged off, either.

[Up2Late]

29. I've got $500.00 on Jon makes him Cry!

Who's in?

[Critters2]

39. I swear his voice just cracked.

[Gregorian]

30. This is history in the making.

[rocktivity]

124. Yeah, Jon's having his "Colbert" moment.

He may have more awards than Colbert, but Jon has lacked the equivalent of Colbert's Press Club speech--not anymore!


rocktivity

[LostInAnomie]

33. Jeez, this is seriously the hardest ass beating I have ever seen delivered on TV.

Cramer is getting crushed. I think he's finished.

[Critters2]

34. Did Cramer's voice just crack?

Don't cry, Cramer baby.

[Incitatus]

60. It's been cracking for a while

[Fleshdancer]

36. I'm listening to it, but I can't look up and watch

I'm actually blushing...this is intense and very uncomfortable.

Having said that, THANK YOU Jon. Thank you for saying what we've all been thinking.

[ShortnFiery]

Yep Cramer, there's also a market for Cocaine and Hookers.

DAMN!

[dorkulon]

52. Same reaction here.

It's great, but can't bear to look.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

38. Daaaaaaaayum.......

[Parker CA]

40. I've never seen a "professional" get taken to the pavement like Cramer is right now. He will have

ZERO credibility after this interview. Stewart is knocking him around so hard.

[CoffeeCat]

77. My guess is that Cramer went into this...

...knowing that he couldn't outwit Jon and knowing that he couldn't defend himself.

So, he decided to play the victim. The sad, little man who is getting taken to the
cleaners by the elite librul media.

Cramer went on Martha Stewart's show this morning and baked a banana cream pie
with her.

He's trying to humanize himself and make people feel sorry for him.

Nice try, chump. Where was all of that humility when you were allowing Wall Street
marketers to spew their lies--through your show and your voice? You had an incestuous
relationship with Wall Street big boys and you existed to pump them up.

Well, all of us lost our 401ks because your show was a PR playground for Wall Street
billionaires.

Shame on you, Cramer--for trying to make us feel sorry for YOU--when you have caused so
much harm to US.

[redwitch]

83. Yup.

You are exactly correct.

[Gregorian]

42. Jon just nailed it! 20% is bs. Making money takes work!

This is the bottom line. And nobody has mentioned it until just then.

[BuyingThyme]

43. Great play-by-play, guys. Keep it comin'.

[mucifer]

44. maybe Stewart should replace Gibbs.

Ok I know that's not realistic. But, it would be fun.

[Motown_Johnny]

48. a sunday morning talk show would be great... God knows MTP sucks now

[Motown_Johnny]

45. ROFL.. we need to go to the website to watch the entire interview

[PopSixSquish]

46. Cramer Just Gave Up and Lay Down

Wow - what did he think was going to happen? Jon would make a few jokes and they'd "hug it out" and all would be good.

I hope every news anchor from here to Wasilla is watching this tonight because Jon just schooled all of them on how it's done.

[RL3AO]

47. Stewart should get a Peabody for this.

[gmudem]

49. What's the over/under on how long Mad Money lasts?

I'd be surprised if it lasted more than another month.

[EstimatedProphet]

50. FUCK!

Cramer will be lucky to not be forcibly retired after this interview! Hell, he might even lose an organ!

[Motown_Johnny]

54. I thought he was looking at jail time because of the stock manipulation Jon showed earlier

[notadmblnd]

80. Hopefully, he does. Someone should investigate his activity now.

[notadmblnd]

51. I loved the last line before the break

Jon ask Cramer why he does it and he says "there's a market for it" Jon replies "there's a market for cocain and hookers!"

[Gregorian]

57. He really has his feet on the ground. And his head engaged. That was brilliant.

I always thought people were all like Jon. I was a lucky kid to grow up around people like that.

[amerikat]

53. John needs to show the clip of Cramer gloating about....

A government of the corporations by the corporations and for the corporations.
I think It would end Cramer's career.

[redwitch]

86. Hey! Was that amazing?

Jon Stewart devastated him.

[Elwood P Dowd]

55. "This Song Ain't About You" from Carly Simon

The You're So Vain song.....

[Brazenly Liberal]

56. Stewart is handing Cramer his ass

and Cramer is taking it with his tail between his legs. (what a hideously mixed metaphor, BL!) I swear, he looks like he's about to burst into tears.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

59. hahahahahaha. mhmm.

[Parker CA]

58. The only way Cramer comes back from this is if he drops, Mad Money, and begins anew with a show

that aims at uncovering the rats in the game. Next to none chance that that will happen, but it seems to be his only out right now. Any other result only leaves him laying in the dust from the bombs Stewart has so methodically dropped on his entire definition of self.

[Fleshdancer]

96. There's no way CNBC would allow that to happen

I'm interested to see what Cramer does though. Obviously something needs to change.

[Up2Late]

61. Wow, 5 more minutes of this!?!

This is like watching the last round of a heavyweight fight...right before the old champ goes down!

[dmr]

62. Jon is the best journalist in America! n/t

[Incitatus]

63. He had no idea what he was walking into

[Gregorian]

68. I had no idea it would go this way. Total punishment. The adult has spoken. Go to your room.

Think about what you've done.

[Parker CA]

81. Almost worse than that. More like, 'you've done something not even I can help you with.'

Stewart's tone throughout that interview did not even for a single word hint at comedy. Ending the show with, "I hope that was as uncomfortable to watch as it was to do." That sums it up. This was Stewart doing what was right, what more in the MSM should do while on national television, full beat down of a professional who f**ked up.

[Gregorian]

87. It reminded me of his Crossfire scrutinizing on their set.

I guess he has to do this every couple of years. Haha.

[Jennicut]

94. He did take down good old Tucker Carlson back then, didn't he?

[Up2Late]

93. Exactly!

[Parker CA]

64. "You now become the face of this, and that's really unfortunate." Stewart knows Cramer is DONE.

[sudopod]

65. ASS WHUPPIN 10/10 nt

[mucifer]

66. how much of the show is cramer on? Is it the whole show? I don't have cable.

[Motown_Johnny]

70. more than that. they couldn't show the entire interview. Need to go to website

[Juche]

82. I can't find it

Its pissing me off too because I watched a few minutes and they kept running headlines saying 'go to thedailyshow.com for full interview'. Since I know about 8 minutes were cut I went there, and its not uploaded yet as far as I can tell. Pisses me off. I work 12 hour days the next 3 days and am going to have a hard time fitting this interview in on friday or saturday.

[notadmblnd]

88. it will be back on again at 1:am

but someone will probably post it here before then.

[Up2Late]

101. It looks like the other Viacom web site "Spike.com" has completely crashed...

...nothing coming up there right now.

[Juche]

114. Its not just that, its not actually posted on the website from what I see

The site has problems, but I don't think they even uploaded it. They will likely upload some time tomorrow. I wish they wouldn't say 'go to thedailyshow.com for full video' if they aren't going to upload the video.

[Up2Late]

139. Try this link, it seems to be working now.

<http://blog.indecisionforever.com/2009/03/13/jon-stewar... />

[NeedleCast]

72. All Three Segments

It opened with a few minutes of typical Daily Show stuff but 80% of the show was the interview.

[Up2Late]

99. He came on about 6 minutes into the first segment...

...and then was punished the rest of the show!

Video at the link below soon:

<http://www.thedailyshow.com/index.jhtml >

Or at Spike.com (usually Spike is faster in getting the video up, but not as "work/family friendly" a site)

<http://www.spike.com />

[NeedleCast]

69. That was a Thing of Beauty

I still think Cramer is full of shit...he's like Madoff apologizing today. He's not sorry he did it, he's sorry he got CAUGHT doing it. Still, if it brings about some change, it was totally worth it.

[Gregorian]

71. So it took a comedian to tell the networks that journalism requires skepticism and research.

No more ponzi schemes.

[Up2Late]

73. And that cheesy smile at the end as he shakes...

...classic.

WOW!

[Motown_Johnny]

Nobody will ever fuck with Jon Stewart again

[Jennicut]

92. So are the stupid MSM punks going to belittle Jon again as "just" a comedian?

He is the ultimate political humorist of our time and exposed these aholes for who they really are.

[flvegan]

75. Total evisceration.

[otohara]

76. Man Oh Man

that was unfricking believable.

[redwitch]

78. why in the hell did Cramer agree to be on the show?

Did he really think he would come off looking reasonable or somehow pure? Jon killed. Award winning interview! Love you Jon!

P.S. He was gentle while he killed.

[noamnety]

120. I bet cramer regrets

going on a bunch of shows publicizing all this. Bad enough to be publicly pantsed like that - but he spent the days leading up to it practically handing out fliers to ensure everyone would watch.

[underpants]

85. Jesus he f-ing torched him

thank you Jon

[RubyDuby in GA]

90. Good grief. I almost felt sorry for him.

That was harsh. Totally deserved, but harsh. I was uncomfortable watching Jon Stewart kick that man's ass! Then I remembered how anti-union Cramer is and thought to myself - hit him again Jon, he deserves more.

[Oilwellian]

91. It was awesome

I think I was a little ahead of the time when I posted this video of Cramer two weeks ago. I found the older video that Stewart used tonight, hidden obscurely on YouTube and immediately did a shorter version of it and mixed it in with recent comments Cramer has made. I posted a link to the original video on YouTube and hope it played a part in getting so much attention today. If you missed my video, I highly recommend a look-see. Cramer may have played the humble guy tonight and say he's been trying to clean this mess up for years, but after you hear what I captured recently on Hardball, you'll see Cramer for the lying, fucking thief that he is. I'm so glad to see the 2006 interview finally getting some attention. It will nail Cramer and he'll be heading off to Sing Sing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qxdJ3FdRZM

[BuyingThyme]

112. Good job. Thank you, dudette.

[Oilwellian]

123. Aww, thanks n/t

[devilgrrl]

125. Kudos!!!!!

[freedom_to_think]

95. ALL HAIL JON STEWART!!!!

Tomorrow can not arrive quick enough. I watched the first segment of the Jim Cramer interview and Jon Stewart unleashed on Cramer like a prize fighter beating the snot out of a school yard bully.

Jon brought fair and legitimate hard-hitting questions and Cramer looked stunned by Stewarts line of questioning.

Great interview. Too bad it took the host on a show on Comedy Central to get a meaty interview. This exposes the true spinelessness of the American media.

[K Gardner]

97. I wanted to watch it "here", but once it started I could NOT get up. Never seen anything like

that. Ever. CNBC will be reeling tomorrow.

[Exultant Democracy]

98. total ass kicking

[quiet.american]

100. I turned on the Daily Show Thursday night, but no Jim Cramer --

And John Stewart said Cramer would be on tomorrow -- anyone else?

(This was at 8PM EST)

[Lisa0825]

102. you watched a re-broadcast of the previous day's show.....

the new episode should be on in a later time slot.

[quiet.american]

106. Thanks. :) nt

[Up2Late]

109. You must be getting the West Coast feed...

...that's the Wednesday night show replay. The new show will be on the West Coast feed at 2:00am EDT, sorry.

[mucifer]

103. I didn't see the video. But, I'm wondering if Stewart is our generation's Mark Twain.

[Up2Late]

142. Here's a link to the un-edited (and un censored) video...

...much better than the TV version, but definitely uncensored.

<http://blog.indecisionforever.com/2009/03/13/jon-stewar... >

Enjoy.

[bluedawg12]

104. That was the most honest coverage of the media lies that played into this mess

I have ever seen. Emmy and Nobel prize for Stewart and a Grammy and a Pulitzer.

[HughMoran]

105. After reading this thread, I'm already so embarrased for Cramer that I'm not sure I can watch it

It sounds like he disemboweled him on a national cable show - yikes!

[bluedawg12]

107. He destroyed any credibility Cramer might have had before

coming on the show. That videotape of Cramer advising someone how to manipulate and "short" the market with lies and how he scoffed at the SEC ought to land Cramer behind bars.

[HughMoran]

111. The CEO of the company I used to work for showed a Cramer segment to the entire company

It was to show how much he liked our company. Ooops.

[bluedawg12]

115. Corrupt CEO's and Corrupt Financial Analysts = this f*cking mess.

Stewart just ended Cramer's career.

[opihimoimoi]

110. Can this be a TREND??????? 2 down and still alive.....

[Up2Late]

113. That was truly a thing of beauty.

Must see! 5 Stars! WooHoo!

[jillan]

116. I cannot believe that it was a commedienne that brought all the lies and corruption to the public.

Stewart may have made an impact on the stock market by showing us the truth.

[BluePatriot21]

117. That was a thing of beauty

I was laughing my ass off until I started to mad along with Stewart. That was great and he had Cramer backpeddling and saying he would change his show for a nicer kinder more honest Cramer. Awesome, I'll be watchign the full thing tomorrow.

And god bless you everyone...

[Up2Late]

122. Replay starting now!

[Control-Z]

126. Watching the replay!

Crazy, fantastic! So much squirm going on in one lonely seat. Ha ha!

[janet118]

127. I have no pity for Mr. Cramer.

Cramer brought this on himself. He decided to start this little fake war with Jon Stewart over all the CNBC clips shown on the original Daily Show segment. What an outrage! There they all were - being held accountable for whoring for the Wall Street greedheads.

Then, Cramer, fearless defender of his fellow whores, wrote his little rebuttal and made himself the central figure - no doubt with visions of ratings dancing in his head. He follows up his inane commentary with a trip around the talk show circuit. Meanwhile, a bemused Stewart clarifies that Cramer was only part of the problem - it was all about the urgency and lies of the entire cable network money "advisors." In other words, it wasn't personal. It was about the underlying idea that frenetic stock activity could bring money for nothing to those who were "smart." It was about infotainment. It was about fake financial news and the impostors who pretend they are experts.

The coup de grace? The re-surfacing of the damning video of Cramer admitting to his own gaming of the system was the direct result of his drawing the spotlight to himself with his grandstanding outrage. By the time he's on The Daily Show for the much touted interview, Cramer is really scared. It dawns finally on him. He put himself out there and now he is probably going to have to crawl back under the rock he emerged from as CNBC's sacrificial lamb. Maybe that was the plan. Offer Cramer up to the masses and everyone will forget about the rest of the whores. Maybe he has a golden parachute for taking the heat.

But I have absolutely no pity for this little piggy. Cramer is a clown and he had the audacity to accuse Stewart of being "just a comedian." I have never been able to bear watching this pathetic man's little cable act, or the silliness of any of the other stock market gurus who blather their unsolicited and self-serving advice on the idiot box 24/7. Now maybe more people will turn these jackasses off.

[Dukkha]

128. I say Stewart is the de-facto leader of the left now

with Rush being the class clown of the right

No comedy there. He raked Cramer's ass over the coals!

[nolabear]

133. What a beating!! and what a weasel.

[FVZA_Colonel]

136. That really was kind of uncomfortable to watch. Great, and sorely needed, but uncomfortable.

It was like watching a parent lecture a failing-teenager who they really know can do better, but who just refuses to do so.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

137. In Comedians and Canadians We Trust

...will Canada top Stewart and bar Bush from entry? or will they go as far to arrest him? Stay tooned!

re: Stewart v Cramer W O W!

[tuvor]

138. Can you say "contrition," boys and girls?

I knew you could.

[Up2Late]

140. Full Interview "uncensored" at this link...

<http://blog.indecisionforever.com/2009/03/13/jon-stewar... />

I just watched the un-edited (and uncensored video, and it's very much worth seeing, the edited out a lot of Jon's most cutting comments from the show, most notably that it sounds like his 75 year old mother lost most of her 401k to all this Bullsh*t CNBC was pushing, plus he calls Joe Scarbouro "Douchebouro"

Enjoy!

[Up2Late]

141. kick n/t
