THE NEW JIM CRAMER

Jesus, Everyone’s Insane


There is a crazy bald dude on CNBC, and he is going super-double crazy. And here, introducing this CNBC clip of insanity, is a guy in California who is … driving and doing a YouTube video at the same time, about how Californians will soon be sent to Concentration Camps. So, pack a suitcase and drive around! Let’s see some more of this wacky CNBC weirdo, Jeff Macke.

Here he is yelling at his “bald Armenian friend” for buying Chanel dresses or something?

And here’s Jeff Macke demanding that Washington start an actual war with Canada, to stimulate the economy:

Also: guy in a hockey suit, saying “Eh,” as they do up there.

And here is a different guy with the same name, just cold ridin’ around on a unicycle:

    Actually, the California dude was making sense up until the point he started talking about how all of this was planned. And as for him bailing from the state, California has way too many people in the state already so, toodles.

    What’s nuts is that somebody took the time to rip a video off a network watched by 11 people, eight of whom are bedridden and can’t operate a remote.

  3. memzilla says at 1:30 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Fine arguments for putting Xanax in the water supply to mellow us all out.

  4. Serolf Divad says at 1:31 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I can’t decide whether he’s a douchebag or a teabagger. Someone help me here.

  5. Custerwolf says at 1:34 pm, May 21st, 2009

    “News” dude doing the unicycle intro hung onto the word “roll” waaaaay too long, no doubt afraid his audience would otherwise fail to get the cryptic punchline.

  6. Hart88 says at 1:36 pm, May 21st, 2009

    we have come for your uncool niece

  7. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:36 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Has he already sued StephanieinCA?

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 1:38 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Napoleon invaded Canada once, but turned back after nobody noticed.

  9. ManchuCandidate says at 1:42 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Ah Jeff. Don’t you know the last time US America tried to invade Canada City, we burnt down Washington and captured Detroit… uh, who really won again?

  10. ManchuCandidate says at 1:43 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Serolf Divad:
    Why can’t he be both?

  11. Uncle Sam says at 1:44 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I live in San Francisco and car person was totally right. But I think I’ll just Anne Frank it in my SOMA loft…

  12. Internally valid says at 1:45 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I love the host in the first one. When talking to a clearly psychotic man do you a.) get him off of national TV as quickly as possible, b.) try to correct or interpret his ramblings in a sane manner, or c.) ask him for market predictions.

  13. canadians for pussy says at 1:46 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Hey assholes remember what happened last time you invaded Canada..

    You Lost. also

  14. AllHat says at 1:46 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Love the logic there; legislature basically puts tax increases to referendum, electorate votes no, because, hey, taxes suck, so CA’s going to go bankrupt … because of Obama. Somehow. It’s planned that way.

  15. Monsieur Grumpe says at 2:00 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I understand that these concentration camps have really good health care but how is the food?

  16. Hooray For Anything says at 2:02 pm, May 21st, 2009

    canadians for pussy: Yeah, don’t mess with people who play a lot of hockey– hockey players are bad asses.

  17. tehbenton says at 2:04 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Escoose me, but I bake my own bread, Mr. Tinfoilhat.

  18. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:05 pm, May 21st, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: And what’s even better? Canadians had the good sense to give Detroit BACK.

  19. Enturbulate says at 2:07 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Do you got multiple forms of delusion? Do you got speech impediments and grammar-not? Do you got Glenn Beck level of crazy?

  20. Country Club Jihadi says at 2:10 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Serolf Divad: Colostomy Bag.

  21. armoredbore says at 2:10 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I love how the anchor in that unicycle clip manages to segue into news about a railroad accident

  22. toooldtocare says at 2:13 pm, May 21st, 2009

    in response to the guy leaving CA….David Byrne beat you to it:

    “This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
    this ain’t no fooling around
    No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
    I ain’t got time for that now

    Transmit the message, to the receiver
    hope for an answer some day
    I got three passports, couple of visas
    don’t even know my real name”

  23. President Beeblebrox says at 2:16 pm, May 21st, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Yeah but US America burned Toronto… er, York to the ground in the same war, so stick it, Canada City!

  24. El Pinche says at 2:18 pm, May 21st, 2009

    What’s with the concentration camps and teabaggers?
    I’d like to put teabaggers in concentration camps and MAKE ALL THEIR KIDNEYS FAIL!!!1!

  25. Hawaiiexpat says at 2:19 pm, May 21st, 2009

    You’all stop calling him “california dude”.

    His proper name is Mr. Michele Bachmann.

  26. Enturbulate says at 2:20 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I call bullshit on the Unicycle anchor. Unless he went to the Mary Hart School of Broadcasting and the station is owned by a giant multi-national conglomerate, possibly Scheinhardt Wigs.

  27. ManchuCandidate says at 2:20 pm, May 21st, 2009

    President Beeblebrox:
    Despite the fact I am Toronto born I know that most folks from Canada City would just shrug their shoulders and say “Meh, no big deal.”

  28. MrsNateSilver says at 2:23 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Jeff Macke looks like Joe the Plumber, and not just cause they’re bald white guys. But maybe because they’re bald white guys who are douches? It’s the crazy eyes and spittle on the lips. Also, the way that everything they say makes one think, “Ummm hellllooo?” Also.

  29. Zadig says at 2:23 pm, May 21st, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: America did, due to Andrew Jackson’s shock and awe campaign in Louisiana two or three weeks after we declared ‘Mission Accomplished’.

  30. Kingbee says at 2:26 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Hooray For Anything: I hope this guy and his friends just drive around in California, or maybe go to Texas. Sure as hell don’t need them in Minnesota (our Gov’s crazy enough for the whole state).

  31. Airborne Toxic Event says at 2:27 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Break out the homoerotic (with mohawks) Road Warrior scenario.

  32. El Pinche says at 2:29 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Airborne Toxic Event: I was waiting for him to pull out an arrow out of his leg and scream ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  33. Scarab says at 2:40 pm, May 21st, 2009

    When did every white conservative guy in America become a total scared pussy?

    “Torture is OK” (because I’m scared)
    “No terrorists in US prisons” (because I’m scared)
    “Flee California” (because I’m scared)
    “Obama must be a Socialist Fascist” (because I’m scared)

    For a party with all that macho posturing, they sure are a bunch on Nancys.

  34. 4tehlulz says at 2:44 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Serolf Divad: douchebagger

  35. Hooray For Anything says at 2:48 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Scarab: What? You mean a party whose leadership consists largely of a bunch of people who ducked out the Vietnam war yet love doing nothing more than blowing up brown people are deep down a bunch of pussies? You don’t say.

  36. GreenHalo says at 2:50 pm, May 21st, 2009

    “Life During Wartime” is magically delicious. Byrne goes on and on about irregular warfare in the USA and never gives a single clue whether it’s a civil war or a sneaky infiltration by another country, let alone which side the protagonist is on. And on the original album sleeve the lyrics continued past the actual song, it just gets more fatalistic and paranoid and still doesn’t give any hints.

    Whatever happened to really GOOD dance music that inevitably leads to a heated political discussion and the occasional fist fight? Those were the days.

  37. TBagBiggs says at 2:51 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I love how the Cali nut is driving around in a mini van. Quick - pack your bags and abandon your family! The revolution is coming!

    At $10 for a loaf of bread, a family becomes a major burden…

  38. vkladchik says at 2:56 pm, May 21st, 2009

    The guy’s actually insane.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI3T6nUXnYI&feature=channel_page

    “The turnips are all out of blood.”

  39. mocowbell says at 2:58 pm, May 21st, 2009

    What IS the frequency, Kenneth? Anyway, CNBC may want to consider instituting some random drug testing for their on-air, um, “talent”… Also.

  40. TimeCubist says at 3:00 pm, May 21st, 2009

    I wonder what the guy in the car’s neighbors think about him? Does he do this rant in the morning when they’re out in the driveway getting their papers? Or does he appear perfectly sane and normal, and then one day you see this on the youtube? That’s when you begin discreetly stockpiling guns and ammo, my friends.

    I’ve been living in Cali since last August, but will be heading back east in mid-June. Can we hold off on the apocalypse til then? Thanks.

    >Likes California (Bay Area).

  41. DoctorCulturae says at 3:01 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Scarab: You’ve just described why pussies need (ironically) to be kept in check: because they project their fear onto everything and then need to get all macho to preempt the supposed beating they’re going to get. Darth’s speech today was an utterly pristine example. He dealt with his fear by lashing out. Dubya, on the other hand, today went to teach reading.

    We have nothing to fear except pussies.

  42. bleet says at 3:09 pm, May 21st, 2009

    That local news guy has got to be a goof. Otherwise it is a classic example of the WORST local news I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying alot!

  43. engulfedinflames says at 3:15 pm, May 21st, 2009

    mr. macke seems to have a tenuous grasp on time and space, his sense of reality is flexible; costs me a couple hunnert bucks to achieve this state.how does this affect our economy? and where are the children to whom he’s speaking?

  44. Mr Blifil says at 3:16 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Car Survivalism doesn’t seem like a very glorious way to go Galt.

  45. DoctorCulturae says at 3:26 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Mr Blifil: …in an SUV with meticulously cut, quaffed, & gelled hair. Looks like survival in the nearest BestWestern & take-out from In N Out.

  46. Tommmcatt says at 3:31 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Hahaha! Meth addicts with access to video equipment!

    “You see, I’m totally, totally enigmatic to you right now! I decided this this morning! Just nod if you understand what I’m saying!”

    “I have no idea what you are talking about.”

    Fucking genius!

  47. Obamaton says at 3:37 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Hart88: Win.

  48. bitchincamaro says at 3:57 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Silly Wonkette. In Canada, you don’t say “guy in a hockey suit”. You just say, “guy in a suit”. They’re all “hockey” suits.

  49. Rascalcat says at 4:00 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Good grief! I haven’t watched MSNBC for years, no wonder Jon Stewart flippped out on them. I think the demographic he is going after is the Glen Beck loonies.

    Please don’t show any more of his clips. I’m getting that sharp pain behind my eyes again.

  50. FlipOffResearch says at 4:25 pm, May 21st, 2009

    How corny, the newscaster used the term locomotion to describe the unicyclist and as a segue to some sort of train wreck story.

  51. bitchincamaro says at 4:32 pm, May 21st, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: After we forced them to keep Windsor.

  52. canadians for pussy says at 4:48 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Everybody else in canada wants toronto burned down anyway.

  53. Dustin de Wynde says at 9:32 pm, May 21st, 2009

    GreenHalo: ‘Listening Wind’ from their next album, ‘Remain In Light’ is actually much scarier, and prescient, since it more or less describes the mindset of an Iraqi IED bomber.

  54. EdFlinstone says at 10:59 pm, May 21st, 2009

    Can we all agree that bald men with braided pony tails are douche bags? Like wow dude you really have long hair in the back, I never noticed you were bald in front.

  55. Aurelio says at 12:43 am, May 22nd, 2009

    Even schizophrenics have moments of lucidity. In the rest of the piece, the bald guy’s mental associations are so loose that they never even meet each other.
