Jim Cramer Dropped An F-Bomb Live On CNBC
CNBC host Jim Cramer accidentally let out an f-bomb live on air on Monday. While appearing on CNBC's Squawk on the Street, Cramer let the curse word slip while chatting about the US and UK agreeing on a framework for a trade deal that imposes a 15% tariff on most EU imports to the US, including cars. 'What the fuck—' Cramer said after an onscreen graphic showed the tariffs that multiple countries have agreed to. Quickly realizing his faux pas, Cramer abruptly cut himself off. 'Jesus Christ!' Cramer then exclaimed as his co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla laughed. 'Oh my God!' called out Faber. Cramer then launched into a hysterical apology. 'It's OK. It's OK,' Faber said while brushing off Cramer's expletive. 'We're in the moment. It's just the way we talk.' Cramer continued expressing regret before telling Faber and Quintanilla, 'I'm done. I think I'm out of here.' Cramer's apology didn't end there. The TV personality took to X, formerly Twitter, to ask for forgiveness. 'I apologize to all viewers. I was too effusive in making my point about the great economy we have,' he wrote Monday. I apologize to all viewers. I was too effusive in making my point about the great economy we have.. — Jim Cramer (@jimcramer) July 28, 2025 @jimcramer/X / Via Twitter: @jimcramer Cramer didn't clarify what he meant by 'great economy.' HuffPost has reached out to him and CNBC for comment. Inflation has accelerated amid Trump's controversial tariffs, the New York Times reported earlier this month. Andrew Harnik / Getty Images X users were pretty forgiving of Cramer's gaffe. no apology needed Jim. We are all grownups. — Barbie True Blue (@Pop_Collapse) July 28, 2025 @Pop_Collapse/X / Via We need more of that emotion and energy actually, Jim. LOVE IT!!! — BREADMAN (@Breadddman) July 28, 2025 @Breadddman/X / Via You're a legend Jim — Inverse Cramer (@CramerTracker) July 28, 2025 @CramerTracker/X / Via No need to apologize! Lets keep it real! — Gambling_Bear (@Bear_in_Casino) July 28, 2025 @Bear_in_Casino/X / Via While Cramer shared in 2017 that he's not pro-Trump, he later appeared to switch up his stance during a segment on CNBC. 'If you're in the stock market, if you care about your paycheck, you go with Trump,' Cramer told viewers in a clip shared in August 2024 on X. The political commentator faced backlash over his comment.

Trinidadian-Irish writer makes Booker Prize longlist
The longlist for the Booker Prize has been announced with no Irish-born authors included this year. However, Claire Adam, a Trinidadian-Irish writer, whose mother is from Cork, is among those selected for her novel 'Love Forms'. Chosen from 153 submissions, the list of 13 authors - described as a "baker's dozen" - celebrates the best works of long-form fiction by writers of any nationality, according to the Booker Prize committee. The nominated books are: Love Forms by Claire Adam (Faber) The South by Tash Aw (4th Estate) Universality by Natasha Brown (Faber) One Boat by Jonathan Buckley (Fitzcarraldo Editions) Flashlight by Susan Choi (Jonathan Cape) The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai (Hamish Hamilton) Audition by Katie Kitamura (Fern Press) The Rest of Our Lives by Ben Markovits (Faber) The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller (Sceptre) Endling by Maria Reva (Virago/Little, Brown) Flesh by David Szalay (Jonathan Cape) Seascraper by Benjamin Wood (Viking) Misinterpretation by Ledia Xhoga (Daunt Books Originals) The 2025 judging panel is chaired by Ireland's 1993 Booker Prize winner Roddy Doyle and includes award-winning actor, producer and publisher Sarah Jessica Parker, Booker Prize-longlisted novelist Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, writer, broadcaster and literary critic Chris Power, and New York Times bestselling and Booker Prize-longlisted author Kiley Reid. The committee described its job as looking for the best work of fiction, selected from entries published in Ireland or Britain between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025. The list, which features seven women and six men, includes five authors who identify as British or joint British - including one who identifies as Hungarian-British - and four who identify as American or joint American - including one who identifies as Albanian-American. Mr Doyle said: "There are short novels and some very long ones. There are novels that experiment with form and others that do so less obviously. "Some of them examine the past and others poke at our shaky present. They are all alive with great characters and narrative surprises. "All, somehow, examine identity, individual or national, and all, I think, are gripping and excellent."

Most global Booker prize longlist in a decade features Kiran Desai and Tash Aw
Kiran Desai, Tash Aw and David Szalay are among the authors nominated for the 2025 Booker prize, on a longlist that features writers from nine different nationalities – the most global list for a decade. The judging panel, which this year includes Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker alongside Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ and chair of judges Roddy Doyle, also chose books by Katie Kitamura, Andrew Miller, Ben Markovits and Jonathan Buckley as part of their 'Booker dozen' longlist of 13 titles. Susan Choi, Natasha Brown and Benjamin Wood were also named as longlistees. Desai makes the longlist with her first book since her Booker prize-winning 2006 novel The Inheritance of Loss. Set to be published in September, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny took almost 20 years to write, and at 667 pages is the longest title on the list. Kiran's mother, Anita Desai, has previously been shortlisted for the Booker three times. Love Forms by Claire Adam (Faber) The South by Tash Aw (4th Estate) Universality by Natasha Brown (Faber) One Boat by Jonathan Buckley (Fitzcarraldo Editions) Flashlight by Susan Choi (Jonathan Cape) The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai (Hamish Hamilton) Audition by Katie Kitamura (Fern Press) The Rest of Our Lives by Ben Markovits (Faber) The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller (Sceptre) Endling by Maria Reva (Virago) Flesh by David Szalay (Jonathan Cape) Seascraper by Benjamin Wood (Viking) Misinterpretation by Ledia Xhoga (Daunt Books Originals) The chosen books 'are all alive with great characters and narrative surprises', said Doyle. 'All, somehow, examine identity, individual or national, and all, I think, are gripping and excellent.' Aw is longlisted for the third time for his latest book The South. If he takes home the £50,000 award in November, he will become the first Malaysian to win the prize. Szalay, previously shortlisted in 2016 for All That Man Is, was this time put forward for Flesh, which traces the story of one man, István, from his teens to midlife. Another past shortlistee, Miller – nominated in 2001 for Oxygen – made this year's list for The Land in Winter. Publisher Fitzcarraldo Editions, which has had multiple titles nominated for the International Booker prize for translated fiction, earned its first Booker longlisting this year with Buckley's 13th novel One Boat – which is the slimmest title on the list, coming in at 168 pages. Another independent publisher, Faber, has three titles nominated this year: Brown's Universality, Markovitz's The Rest of Our Lives, and Claire Adam's Love Forms. Penguin imprints see the highest number of titles, with five making the list. Just two debuts appear on the 2025 longlist: Misinterpretation by Ledia Xhoga and Endling by Maria Reva, which follows three women and an endangered snail travelling in a mobile lab through contemporary Ukraine. It is 'striking that most of the longlisted writers have already had sustained careers', said Gaby Wood, chief executive of the Booker Prize Foundation. Sign up to Bookmarks Discover new books and learn more about your favourite authors with our expert reviews, interviews and news stories. Literary delights delivered direct to you after newsletter promotion This year's list also features 'the highest number of different nationalities we've seen on a Booker prize longlist for a decade', yet 'British writers are strongly represented too', she added. Five British writers made this year's longlist: Brown, Buckley, Miller, Szalay – who is Hungarian-British – and Benjamin Wood for Seascraper. Four American writers made the cut: Choi for her latest novel Flashlight and Kitamura for Audition along with Xhoga and Markovits. No Irish writers appear on this year's list, despite having strong representation in recent years. Doyle said that whittling down the nominations 'at times' was 'agony'. 153 books were submitted, all written in English and published in the UK or Ireland between 1 October 2024 and 30 September 2025. Joining Doyle, Parker and Adébáyọ̀ on this year's panel is the novelist Kiley Reid as well as the writer and critic Chris Power. Parker follows other actors who have judged the prize in recent years, including Adjoa Andoh and Robert Webb. When the panel was announced in December, Wood said that in recent months she had 'enjoyed sharing book recommendations with Sarah Jessica, who has passionately supported contemporary fiction for many years.' In 2016, Parker began serving as editorial director at SJP for Hogarth, an imprint of Penguin, before launching her own imprint, SJP Lit, in partnership with independent publisher Zando in 2023. She also shares book recommendations on her Instagram account. The shortlist will be announced at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on Tuesday 23 September, with the winner revealed on Monday 10 November. Last year's Booker prize was won by Samantha Harvey for her novel Orbital. Other recent winners include Paul Lynch, Shehan Karunatilaka, Damon Galgut and Douglas Stuart.

This year's Booker prize longlist looks in new directions
This year's Booker judges had a crowded field to pick from, with scores of eligible books from previously nominated writers and five new novels from winners alone (John Banville, Kiran Desai, Alan Hollinghurst, Ian McEwan and Ben Okri). Of these, Hollinghurst is one eyebrow-raising exclusion, for his elegiac and beautifully composed panorama of gay life in Britain over the past seven decades, Our Evenings. But it's no surprise that the list is headed by Desai's epic The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, a novel in the works since her Booker win two decades ago and due out this September. Clocking in at nearly 700 pages, this is a love story about two people pulled between India and the US, family inheritance and personal ambition, intimacy and solitude. Immersive and gently funny, her vast canvas painted with an exquisitely fine brush, it looks like a leading contender on a canon-building list – nine of the authors are making their first Booker appearance. There is an emphasis on family stories; sometimes intimate and direct, as in Claire Adam's account of a woman forced to give up her baby as a teenager, Love Forms, or Ben Markovits's rueful study of a father contemplating life once the kids have left home, The Rest of Our Lives, but more often as a lens through which to examine the forces of history. Love Forms by Claire Adam (Faber) The South by Tash Aw (4th Estate) Universality by Natasha Brown (Faber) One Boat by Jonathan Buckley (Fitzcarraldo Editions) Flashlight by Susan Choi (Jonathan Cape) The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai (Hamish Hamilton) Audition by Katie Kitamura (Fern Press) The Rest of Our Lives by Ben Markovits (Faber) The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller (Sceptre) Endling by Maria Reva (Virago) Flesh by David Szalay (Jonathan Cape) Seascraper by Benjamin Wood (Viking) Misinterpretation by Ledia Xhoga (Daunt Books Originals) Desai's novel is an intricate portrait of an interconnected world, while Tash Aw's The South, the first in a proposed quartet, looks at two farming families in 1990s Malaysia against a backdrop of tumultuous change and ominous signs of climate crisis. Susan Choi's previous novel, 2019's Trust Exercise, was a standout in American fiction; Flashlight is straighter and less playful, but scales up her ambition and breaks new ground in its examination of one family with roots in Korea, Japan and the US, illuminating the seismic effects of political upheaval on individual lives. The two debut novelists on the list respond to the forces of history with formal invention. Canadian-Ukrainian author Maria Reva begins Endling as a comic caper through Ukraine's marriage industry, from the perspective of a cash-strapped scientist with a passion for endangered snails; Russia's full-scale invasion blows the book wide open, calling into question the role of the writer and the purpose of fiction – and offering answers that are full of energy. Albanian-American author Ledia Xhoga toys subtly with realism. Misinterpretation, her portrait of an Albanian interpreter in New York, caught between two cultures and struggling with compassion fatigue and her own traumas as she tries to help others, is full of misunderstandings and missed connections that echo the faults and gaps of translation. Two slim, slippery books revel in formal disruption. Katie Kitamura's enigmatic Audition, focusing on an American actor and a man young enough to be her son, offers contradictory narratives in order to explore identity, performance, and what we are to one another: this is a book to ponder and argue over. In Universality, Natasha Brown is also interested in the power dynamics of storytelling: she constructs a merciless satire of the current media landscape, with its meretricious culture wars, through the jigsaw-puzzle chronicle of a long read that goes viral. The four remaining books are all by men, an answer perhaps to claims that male writing in the UK is in crisis, and they all do fascinating things with interiority. Jonathan Buckley writes spare, slightly Cuskian philosophical novels; in his 13th, One Boat, a woman's sorties to Greece to work through her bereavements lead into reflections on ethics, memory and the processes of thought. In Benjamin Wood's quiet but immensely atmospheric Seascraper, a young man plies his grandfather's trade of 'shanking', scraping the seashore for shrimp in an England that is moving on without him. Muted but precise prose burrows into his hopes and dreams for a tale that resonates far beyond the telling. Andrew Miller's The Land in Winter is also situated in a postwar England on the brink of change, here the 'Big Freeze' of 1962-3, and travels deep into the hearts of its characters, two young married couples in the West Country. This novel has had my heart since it was published last November, and I'm delighted to see it on the list: I think it's the best book yet from a stellar writer who's been publishing for three decades. (By contrast, this year's Booker blow for me is the exclusion of Sarah Hall; I've been telling everyone that her magisterial, millennia-spanning Helm, out at the end of August, was a likely winner.) The final title, also a favourite of mine this year, creates powerful effects through an unusual tactic: utterly refusing interiority. Flesh by David Szalay is a very modern everyman story, with his central character at the mercy of forces beyond his control, a rise and fall playing out across a depressed childhood in Hungary, life in the army and an upwardly mobile stint in on-the-make London. By keeping his antihero a mystery to the reader, Szalay opens up the biggest questions about what we can and cannot know. It feels like something that hasn't been done before in quite this way – and that only fiction could do.
