A viral clip of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) ripping into the hosts of CNBC's "Squawk Box" has been removed from the senator's YouTube channel.

According to a message on YouTube, NBC Universal requested that the video be taken down on copyright grounds.

A CNBC spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.

Warren appeared on "Squawk Box" last Friday to tout her proposed update of the Glass-Steagall Act. The bill, introduced by Warren and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Angus King (I-Maine) is aimed at reining in risk at the nation's biggest banks. During the interview, Warren countered CNBC's Brian Sullivan on the assertion that financial regulation can't prevent banks' risky bets.

That's a sign Warren PWNED those CNBC bots so badly.

CNBC.com has the video at http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?play=1&video=3000182337

CNBC's YouTube channel uploaded the full segment on Friday:

[Cleita]

1. Oh, wow! She didn't rip into anyone. She just spoke the truth very

courteously. What a group of corporatist jerks.

[October]

27. Agree. She spoke calmly, politely.

It was informative, and she answered the badgering (!) talking heads matter-of-dactyl.

She gives me hope that TV, the Internet, and conversation in general may one day return to a level of civility.

[wordpix]

55. seriously, she's presidential - one of the Senate's best

the repukes' heads would explode if Eliz. Warren becomes our next president. First an African American, then a very bright woman---sounds good to me.

[October]

56. I would totally vote for Elizabeth Warren, and hope she runs for president.

I cannot imagine a candidate I would rather support.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

2. They really believe everything a week ago never happened.

[Divine Discontent]

3. Hartman's short comments about it, then the clip

[Purveyor]

7. Thanks for posting this clip, indeed!

[Divine Discontent]

15. oh, you're welcome! :)

38. I am in the process of "preserving" political YouTube clips to a remote hard Drive,

...since some of my favorites have been disappeared recently.
Thanks for posting the above.
It has now been safely "preserved".

[Divine Discontent]

53. ah! good idea. yes, they have a habit of doing that. I have up an old vid

griz mama from AK, that I get hateful PM's over. You never know when they'll just disappear.

[navarth]

50. Hartmann and Warren....two of the very best

Who are these fucking assholes she's talking to? Good grief, the tv has gotten so stupid it's blinding.

Funny to hear how Thom, after all these years, still sports a Michigan accent.

Ye GODZ how good would it feel to be able to vote for this woman for President? Make it so.....

[Divine Discontent]

52. ha! good point with the accent. (and sad to hear about Moore's divorce, btw!) and, yes,

who are those f*cking assholes! the TV hurts when I watch it, I don't know how these wonderful people watch this mess for us all to find these clips. lol

yeah, it'd be pretty awesome to vote her in as the first female president of the USA... almost chilling. I got emo in 2008 with the 1st American minority candidate winning, and well, also because shortly after I told everyone in Sacramento, worried McCain could still pull it out, "stop, it's OVER, they're done!", the results came in, and my joy went to sadness minutes later when it was obvious prop 8 had passed! But fortunately, that's all going downstream, and with a Pres. Warren, more walls would fall! Let's make it SO!

[NYC_SKP]

4. Recommended. (nt)

[progressoid]

5. Well they sure stopped those horses from leaving the barn.

[demwing]

6. She really has fine tuned her ability to stay on message

And made it seem easy. Very encouraging. Thanks for posting!

[DeSwiss]

8. Hey! NBC Universal!!! There's no such thing as ''bad'' publicity, right?

Except when there is.

They know it's about to get REAL. Promissory notes unpaid, debts/money frozen inside BIS computers. Time to skirmish and sew confusion. So they send out the disinfo troopers like these MSM morons at CNBC. You remember them, don't you? They're the ones when we were in high school who was always asking you to let them copy your homework because they forget to do it.

But 'Fessa Lizbeth kicks some slovenly layabout booty didn't she? And NBC, who would normally just love for others to spread their Brand around the internet like some kind of infectious disease (which it is), are now crying like a little girls beggin the bad ol' mean lady to stop making her cry!!!

- Plan B, is to increase security:

K&R

[Zoeisright]

9. Fucking cowards.

All those right wing jackasses do is lie and cheat and steal, then like little brats, pout and whine when they're called on it.

[truebrit71]

59. ^^this

[olddad56]

10. She is rapidly becoming my hero.

[Firebrand Gary]

11. Wall Streets mouth piece is scared? That's awesome! Its because she is right.

And guess what, it's likely that CNBC pulling the video will just make it all the more popular!

[pa28]

12. She should visit Bloomberg next time if she wants to have a useful discussion.

Three unbelievably smug, unbelievably biased shills for the banking industry decided to gang up on the nice lady from Oklahoma and had their asses politely handed to them.

No wonder CNBC wants to bury it.

[avaistheone1]

13. Yup.

k&r

[ErikJ]

14. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

WHich sums up CNBC pretty well. Of course they like the booms and busts because it boosts their ratings. And a lot of hedge fund banksters can make make money on busts too.

[DonCoquixote]

16. loos like the ministry of information

cracked the whip and told someone to get crackling now.

[99th_Monkey]

18. "Information Retrieval" at your service

[99th_Monkey]

17. Whatever happened to "it's a free country"

guess now that's just a ghost of the old normal.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

19. yeah. I saw the clip linked by someone on a primarily non political msg board

I frequent...then someone mentioned it was taken down due to NBC Universal being pricks.

I am laughing so hard at how long and how often Elizabeth Warren has beating the bare asses of schmucks in the financial industry (including the big zeroes at CNBC who propagate that shit).

Hopefully they know this will cause the video to go viral by anyone who happened to record it JUST TO PISS OFF NBC bean counters.

[efhmc]

31. Was thinking the same thing.

Just take it down and see how many more people watch it. I did.

[99th_Monkey]

20. It's high time we find another place for movies & video clips

YouTube is openly pissing on their customer base, while kissing the
ring of the NSA, CIA, & the secret security state apparatus.

[tex-wyo-dem]

51. NSA, CIA, FBI, etc etc work for the corporatist state...

And visa versa.

It's all a nice big circle-jerk of greed, doncha know...

[ZRT2209]

21. crybabies

[Hulk]

22. It's back up again...

I just went to YouTube now...as in 30 seconds ago, and watched the clip replay. Not sure what happened? Maybe they decided to put it back up? No clue.

The woman is SuperWoman! Love her to death!

[Enthusiast]

23. "Danger, Will Robinson! The propaganda mechanism has been breeched."

"Unapproved information is reaching the ears of the viewers!"

[Festivito]

24. This is the real reason youtube was bought from the people who designed and built it.

MSNBC can prefer lower ratings in lieu of a political ideology.

[ctsnowman]

25. CNBC is still on?

[Kolesar]

26. Had banking collapses every 15 years until Glass-Steagall in 1933

Which basically fixed that problem.
Love the professor!

[ejpoeta]

28. well, an argument could be made that copyrighted material is not supposed to be up there.

but then again, it is a clip and not the whole show. It would appear that they had it removed because she pwned them. looks bad for them. If she had been yelling at them they probably would have kept it up. question.... is it available at cnbc site?

[Rebellious Republican]

29. So I am an old guy who loves liz, she is one of the few good guys left. But what does....

PWNED mean? Just an old guy trying to keep up with the times.

[MsLeopard]

32. Just learned this the other day

so I'm happy to share. It seems there was a computer game that a lot of people play and when someone got the better of someone else the message was supposed to read - So and so got owned. The message was typed wrongly and came out "pwned." Yep - that started it all!

[Rebellious Republican]

33. Thanks, I am really starting to feel old.

[RoccoR5955]

47. Here are many definitions

Here's a link to Urban Dictionary. You can find out many useful slang definitions there:

[fascisthunter]

48. I have to ask...

... are you a republican or independent? I'm registered as a dem, but not sure anymore what that means.

[dicksmc3]

30. Warren rips CNBC

I watched the clip several times and thought that "Yes, she knows just what she's talking about." But, to get the fools on CNBC to agree with her and against their Wall Street buddies is another task. I wish Stuart Varney would invite her on his morning show but, we all know that ain't going to happen!! That guy just pisses me off so much about how he idolizes CAPITALISM and all the Wall Street crowd that nearly brought the country to it's knees!! But, as we know, Varney would be no match for Elizabeth when it comes to financial matters. In fact he still supports the AUSTERITY in Europe!! Just a another talking head on Fix so-called business news!!

[truedelphi]

41. You and I must share a brain. I too wish

She would be on Varney's show.

And a big welcome to DU!

[dotymed]

34. I love when one of "our" politicians

tells the truth (sad, huh?). Senator Warren was stating facts that everyone should know.

I would love for her to introduce a bill calling for the reinstatement of THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE.

That would really make their talking heads explode. Forcing "their news" to be honest and allow free air-time to anyone with a different view?
The people would (once again) be well informed instead of dumbed down.

[Kelvin Mace]

35. I call shennanigans

Public official is invited on TV to answer policy questions affecting public, this is "fair use" of the clip.

[dusty trails]

36. Copyright my a**

Sounds like censorship to me.

[WovenGems]

37. I wonder..

..why she was scheduled in the first place. It ain't like she is an unknown quantity.

[Corruption Inc]

39. The National Broadlying System takes all their video lies down

including music/entertainment. It doesn't matter to the propaganda network what people want, the hoarding, control-freak, greedy TV industry has to control everything they can just to control it. You must respect their "ah-thor-a-tie", they are the controllers of the message, they'll tell us what's news and what isn't!

[brooklynite]

57. ...which is why it's posted on their own website?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

40. Some geek needs to get on this. I want that video!

Anybody?

[truedelphi]

42. It got taken down from Huff Post, but is still up at

CNBC -- the video link is at http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?play=1&video=3000182337

[underpants]

43. "No one wants to look Prefessorial"

says the failed model turned newsreader

[fascisthunter]

49. lol... I know, right?!

Well, I bet her makers feed just enough bs flattery to get her to even attempt to confront Warren. It's sad in a way, but I don't feel sorry for the bobble-head... she makes herself look like one, with or without the flattery she gobbles.

[dotymed]

54. I think

a "professorial" looking lady is desirable in many circumstances...... ok, I said it..

[roamer65]

44. About every fifteen years is right.

We even tried forming a central bank after the 1907 panic to stop the banking crises. The Federal Reserve in turn added fuel to the fire in 1927 with cheaper money, and became part of the problem. Only Glass-Steagall stopped the crises.

We need to make the change now.

[ram2008]

45. She is amazing

Finally there's some sense in Washington.

[wildbilln864]

46. k & r! nt

[annabanana]

58. I will bring this back to the top so no one forgets . .n/t

[wildbilln864]

60. k & r! n/t

[Blue_Tires]

61. fwiw, NBC tries to get all their stuff removed from YT

iirc, NBC was one of the earliest entities to start fighting youtube over creative property back when youtube was still in its "anybody post anything" -era

I remember because I was pissed as hell at the time for not having any more access to classic SNL clips...
