That's just about one of the most massive televised beat downs I've ever seen. I mean he doesn't just nail the guy, he nails him lying, and basically forces him into a series of desperate, contrite confessions

absolutely destroyed. have they sacked this guy yet?

wheres the end?


seems like cramer was about to cry at times, poor guy

This is the good kind of "gotcha".

Stewart should get an Emmy for this. What started as just a regular TDS commentary has really turned out into some quite substantial and valid critique towards another network. I wonder if there will be any repercussions for Cramer after this interview.

wow, well done

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I was in turn disgusted and felt sorry for this guy. I felt disgusted by all the times he was shocked that his "good friends" would lie to him.

He was really too soft a target - Cramer rolled over like a puppy and shot little squirts of pee in the air.

I wish he could have had Santelli instead

It is rare that we get to see Jon Stewart take a pause from "pie throwing" as he calls it, and lets the world see how brilliant he really is. Just like when he went on hardball and said "Stop hurting America", a few weeks later that show was cancelled.

I'd like to see Cramer keep his show because of how he's said he'll change. Although it is quite a show of weaknesses to his bosses to do that, to change his show's theme and style because of what a guy on another network said.

I don't think Cramer is a, or the, bad guy. The problems leading to this crisis have been systemic and country-wide. Jon is right that Cramer knew it was all a big game played with working stiffs' money, but Cramer had no idea what it would all come to because everyone that he looked up to was wrong or lying. It's a credit crisis, not just the fiscal kind, but the human kind where we used to trust people because of their years of experience and their credentials, and now it's evident that neither of those are prerequisites to being truthful or being right. The system needs a real shaking up to restore confidence and revive credit.

I couldn't find a clip of Stewart on Hardball, anyone? I only found a clip of Matthews on Stewart's show where Stewart shredded his book.

^It was promoted just a few days ago.. I'll seee if I can find it.

Lodurr correctly pointed out to me that it wasnt "Hardball", but "Crossfire". Forgive my confusion.

EDIT: And now the link is posted just above by gwiz. No denying the helpfullness of the videosift community.

Wow... did he just get absolutly taken apart.

i've watched this a few times now. at first i had an iota of sympathy for cramer due to him looking so pathetic but now i realise he's just a spineless twat, and he knows it. i'd have had more respect if he'd put up a fight but no, he just bent over and took it all.

what a cock.

I definitely recommend these, the uncut interview is much longer, and without the awkward cuts. Also you get to hear Jon say "fuck" which is pretty awesome in this context.

Absolutely.
Jon just annihilates cramer and the rest of the economic pundits with the uncut interview. Its a shame that it takes a comedy show to hold peoples feet to the fire like this.

Shows how far journalism in the US has fallen.
I have a huge mancrush on JS.

Honestly, I started to watch this and then I had to stop when he started pulling out those videos when Cramer was basically talking about how he goes behind the SECs back.

I like tons of Comedy but this was like a DARK comedy to me, and I can't watch those because I feel bad for people.

Like I think Ali G is hilarious but I can barely watch any of his videos because it's just people embarrassing themselves.

I dunno why I guess I have some sort of Moral Compass in my blackened soul

<popcorn> this is great </popcorn>

Youve really gotta be able to sit through the whole thing dark, its necesarry viewing material. This should be the posterchild for how-to speak power to authority.

Like a financial and professional intervention of sorts. I'm really happy Cramer agreed to do the show.

John Stuart for president.... damn.

Fixed guys.

Also, I would put the full interview in if its possible to combine all 3 parts into one embed.

That really was incredible. Even better than I hoped it would be. Amazing. No question Jon deserves an award for this.

hearing Jon Stewart put it that way, I kinda think the human race probably wants some blood from the G8 countries. I mean if we live in a hierarchical capitalist global economy, and if the top of that hierarchy is to blame for most of its current problems... then the bulk of the human race is gonna be pissed and looking upwards. You gotta wonder how this whole mess is going to influence global politics in the decades to come. Probably nothing big will happen... but hmmm

Wow, that went dead->fixed really quick.

It is fantastic and revealing interview. The unedited version gives a more fair balanced view as well. I hope that Cramer can stay on in his work in some capacity. He seems to want to make better about the BS that has been going on behind closed wallstreets.

Canada, watch full interview here:

already done.

Wait, did Jim Cramer actually have himself taped while admitting to securities fraud?

Right so its *dead again, but I'm working on a solution to get the full thing available.

This published video has been declared non-functional; embed code must be fixed within 2 days or it will be sent to the dead pool - declared dead by Kerotan.

Right so, I'm left with a decision here, to I replace the embed with the blocked part one (unless there is some way of stitching together comedy central embeds), and then link to the other parts (or someone else can sift those), or just leave it dead for now, in the hope that someone can find the edited and shorter version of the interview, like what was originally sifted, or the long unedited version that replaced it.

Any advice would be welcome.

I went through the same shit. Sift the blocked embed until you can find a replacement.

Well I can't actually sift/fix the code for some reason.

I'm not sure what you mean .. what's the problem?

>> ^burdturgler:

well when I try to replace the embed (of this dead video) from comedy central, videosift has a hissy fit.

whats the link you're getting the embed from?

personally, I would fix this video with part 1 .. discard your pokemon video that no one will ever care about .. and sift parts two and three .. and leave links to the last two parts here in your post.

*notdead!

This dead video has been deemed functional; it must have been accidentally declared dead - declared notdead by Kerotan.

Personally, I think this is one more moment where Jon Stewart proves that he's a better journalist than the so-called pros.

This is perhaps the central theme of what his show is really about. Pushing the media to actually do their job -- finding out what's really going on and telling people about it. It's a shame he's so locked into the mode of comedy, I'd love to give him his own 24 hour news network to run, I think he'd destroy the others.

Here's a great Glenn Greenwald article about the interview, and how Stewart's criticism could've been leveled at most of the news giants over the last decade (or more).

It's not about watching Cramer squirm, it's about making it clear to the people who deliver our news that this isn't some fucking game, and that they have a responsibility to tell people what our nation's powers are really doing behind the scenes, not just taking their word for things.

I tried to sift the full unedited version... Comedy Central took it down though, the bastards.

No. You should be glad Stewart is in comedy. He only has license to do this kind of show because he's a comedian. It's not an unfortunate coincidence. Do you really think there's nobody ? Of course, there are plenty TV personalities who are as intelligent, knowledgeable, and skillful at journalism as him, but they work for news organizations, and they'd lose their careers for doing an interview like that.

I'd trust someone who bills themselves as a comedian before I trusted someone who billed themselves as a reporter. We all should.

In fairness, a reporter who comes close to that Jeremy Paxman, he earned his nickname for a reason.

Just to throw in my two cents.

Let me preface this by saying I love Jon Stewart and the daily show, but I felt this was just a crucifixion. Jon even started the show by showing how much he prepared for this (in a comedic fashion), yet if you saw how Cramer went on shows previously to talk about the interview, that he was nervous as he didn't know what to expect. (Martha Stewart, etc)

I think my biggest problem was that he pulled out "clips" of Cramer saying this or that, and then went on to just basically bury the poor guy about it. He deserved it in a sense, but I doubt Cramer is a billionaire that needs to be pounded like he was. Jon's biggest beef is with how the market "orchestrates" things, and somehow put that gigantic blame on Cramer, or that at least he should expose that. All Cramer could do was agree with him -- everyone is in bed with one another in terms of financial dealings, which I'm sure most of us understand to some extent. He even pointed out that from '99 to '07 they were pulling in 30% gains year over year. Those were great years. Yet not realistic. That wasn't Cramer's fault or even Wallstreet. It's easy to have hindsight after the fact, which is the small point that Cramer meekly tried to make, which is true. The market is now correcting itself, and it sucks. All those gains you made, have to go away now, because they weren't "real".

I guess it's interesting that he nailed some guy that is involved in the financial industry, but come on, nail someone who's worth nailing. I guess it's a start though -- I hope he continues pushing the financial industry. Perhaps they'll send someone in who can actually debate properly

I think Jon makes it clear that Cramer just happened to be the guy that the media chose as being the symbol of the big irresponsible media that the Daily Show highlights. It IS unfortunate that Cramer is the poster child, as his show's toots and whistles almost lend themselves to caricature, and it is the people behind this that should need to explain themselves. Cramer is the one who takes it personally until Jon Stewart puts him back on message.

Just watched the full unedited version. That was breathtaking. I already respected Stewart, but he is a fucking hero.

Did ANYONE else hear Jim Cramer mention an intent to "win the war on unemployment and foreclosures"?

War on Unemployment?
War on Foreclosures?

I'm guessing that those wars will be just as successful as:

War on Drugs
War on Terror
War on Poverty

I think we should all get ready for a WHOLE LOT MORE Unemployment and Foreclosures for a REALLY LONG TIME. We've just declared war against them.
