James "Jim" J. Cramer (born February 10, 1955) is an American television personality, a former hedge fund manager, and a best-selling author. Cramer is the host of CNBC's Mad Money and a co-founder and chairman of TheStreet.com, Inc.
Cramer married Karen Backfisch-Olufsen, a trader, in 1988,[citation needed] and lives in Summit, New Jersey.
Cramer was born to Jewish parents in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. One of his first jobs was selling ice cream at Veterans Stadium during Philadelphia Phillies games. Cramer went to Springfield Township High School in Montgomery County.
Cramer graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College with a B.A. in government.
He began his involvement with journalism in college, working for The Harvard Crimson, and rising to become its president. After graduation, Cramer worked in several entry-level reporting jobs. Dating back to March 1, 1978, Cramer worked for the Tallahassee Democrat in Tallahassee, Florida, where he covered the Ted Bundy murders. The then-executive editor, Richard Oppel, says "[Cramer] was like a driving ram. He was great at getting the story." He then worked as a journalist for The Los Angeles Herald Examiner. Around this time, his apartment was robbed and he was left with nothing more than his car and the things in it; he lived out of his car for about nine months.[citation needed] He also worked for Governor Jerry Brown.
Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; November 28, 1962) is an American political satirist, writer, television host, actor, media critic and stand-up comedian. He is widely known as host of The Daily Show, a satirical news program that airs on Comedy Central.
Stewart started as a stand-up comedian, but branched into television as host of Short Attention Span Theater for Comedy Central. He went on to host his own show on MTV, called The Jon Stewart Show, and then hosted another show on MTV called You Wrote It, You Watch It. He has also had several film roles as an actor. Stewart became the host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central in early 1999. He is also a writer and co-executive-producer of the show. After Stewart joined, The Daily Show steadily gained popularity and critical acclaim, resulting in his sixteen Emmy Awards.
Stewart has gained acclaim as an acerbic, satirical critic of personality-driven media shows, in particular those of the US media networks such as CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC. Critics say Stewart benefits from a double standard: he critiques other news shows from the safe, removed position of his "fake news" desk. Stewart agrees, saying that neither his show nor his channel purports to be anything other than satire and comedy. In spite of its self-professed entertainment mandate, The Daily Show has been nominated for news and journalism awards. Stewart hosted the 78th and 80th Academy Awards. He is the co-author of America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, which was one of the best-selling books in the U.S. in 2004 and Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race released in 2010.
Glenn Edward Lee Beck (born February 10, 1964) is an American conservative radio host, vlogger, author, entrepreneur, political commentator and former television host.

He formerly hosted the Glenn Beck television program, which ran from January 2006 to October 2008 on HLN and from January 2009 to June 2011 on the Fox News Channel. Beck has authored six New York Times–bestselling books. Beck is the founder and CEO of Mercury Radio Arts, a multimedia production company through which he produces content for radio, television, publishing, the stage, and the Internet. It was announced on April 6, 2011, that Beck would "transition off of his daily program" on Fox News later in the year but would team with Fox to "produce a slate of projects for FOX News Channel and FOX News' digital properties". Beck's last daily show on the network was June 30, 2011. In 2012, The Hollywood Reporter named Beck on its Digital Power Fifty list.
Plot
Tony Stark is the complete playboy who also happens to be an engineering genius. While in Afghanistan demonstrating a new missile, he's captured and wounded. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them but instead he creates an armored suit and a means to prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He uses the armored suit to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find that Obadiah Stane, his second in command at Stark industries has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from misusing his research.

Heroes aren't born. They're built.
Get ready for a different breed of heavy metal hero.
Tony Stark: [toasting after giving a weapon's demonstration] To Peace.
Christine Everheart: Mr. Stark! Christine Everheart, Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?::Hogan: [whispers to Stark] She's cute.::Tony Stark: [whispers to Hogan] She's alright.::[turns around]::Tony Stark: Hi!::Christine Everheart: Hi.::Tony Stark: Yeah. Okay, go.::Christine Everheart: You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?::Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.::Christine Everheart: And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?::Tony Stark: That's not bad. Let me guess... Berkeley?::Christine Everheart: Brown, actually.::Tony Stark: Well, Ms. Brown. It's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we got. I guarantee you the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, I'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals.::Christine Everheart: Rehearse that much?::Tony Stark: Every night in front of the mirror before bedtime.::Christine Everheart: I can see that.::Tony Stark: I'd like to show you firsthand.::Christine Everheart: [exasperated] All I'm looking for is a straight answer.::Tony Stark: [removing his shades] OK, here's a straight answer. My old man had a philosophy: peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.::Christine Everheart: That's a great line, coming from a guy selling the sticks.::Tony Stark: My father helped defeat Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero.::Christine Everheart: And a lot of people would also call that war-profiteering.::Tony Stark: Tell me, do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey.::Christine Everheart: Have you ever lost an hour of sleep in your life?::Tony Stark: I'm be prepared to lose a few with you.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [walking in on Stark's robots trying to get him out of the Iron Man suit] What is going on here?::Tony Stark: Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing.::Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: Are those bullet holes?
Tony Stark: [reading the newspaper] Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy, but it's kind of provocative, the imagery anyway.
[after testing the suit's capabilities]::Tony Stark: Yeah, I can fly.
Rhodey: [eyeing the Mark II Iron Man suit] Next time, baby.
Virginia 'Pepper' Potts: [upon seeing Stark wearing a machine around his arm] I thought you said you were done making weapons?::Tony Stark: It isn't. This is a flight stabilizer. It's completely harmless.::[Stark is blasted back by the force of the machine]::Tony Stark: I didn't expect that.
Tony Stark: How'd it go?::[Stark sees a pizza box on the table]::Tony Stark: Oh, that bad, huh?::Obadiah Stane: Just because I brought pizza back from New York doesn't mean it went bad.
[accidentally burning his restored car collection by hovering above them]::Tony Stark: Okay, this is where I don't want to be.
[last lines]::Tony Stark: There's been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on the freeway and the rooftop...::Christine Everheart: I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that...::Tony Stark: I know that it's confusing. It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I'm a superhero.::Christine Everheart: I never said you were a superhero.::Tony Stark: Didn't?::Christine Everheart: Mmm-mmm.::Tony Stark: Well, good, because that would be outlandish and, uh, fantastic. I'm just not the hero type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public.::Rhodey: [whispers to Tony] Just stick to the cards, man.::Tony Stark: Yeah, okay.::Tony Stark: [holds up his notes and pauses] The truth is...::Tony Stark: [puts cards down] I am Iron Man.
