- Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss fighting antisemitism on college campuses, plagiarism accusations against his wife, Ackman's broader concerns about higher education and other issues, his activist approach to tackling these issues, and more.
A very polite way to say "I have F U money" 😂😂

What's the point of having FU money if you never say FU

My innate sleaziness allows me to shamelessly grift the system
Wow, I can’t believe he didn’t cry this time
Why is the host left eye have super black pupil? Am I tripping?
Reptilian
inner lizard is showing
he is known for having distinct colors between both eyes
They look like brothers
They are Ashkenazim
why that one guy got a snake eye
drugs...
birth defect known as a key hole eye.
This is Ackman’s Herbalife round two lol
Indeed
Nah. Its pretty clear these universities are being dominated by sick socialists. Guess now its even clearer after the palestine bs in campuses
Also pretty cool to have a platform to front-run trades with.
Warren’s been doing it since your daddy was in diapers, what’s new?
You could say that about any guest CNBC has on.
Has his eye always been like that?
All that money and that's the haircut he gets?
lol. His hair is messed up in this interview but it looks great generally
bigger ish to worry about than a haircut
0:01 Something wrong with his pupil?
At least he admitted that there’s truth behind the tropes that certain people run Wall St and Hollywood now the Ivies.
I love this man!
Kurt Andersen wrote a very revealing piece on Ackman in The Atlantic (18 Jan).
link?
His interview with Lex Friedman was fantastic.
That personality is strong
What is going on with the interviewer's left eye?
I think he has a rare genetic condition test causes his two eyes to be different from each other.
he's a lizard
Thank you Bill Ackman! As a member of Gen Z, which oftentimes seems to be all-consumed by identity politics/tribalism and otherwise, please know that there are many of us who appreciate the sacrifice you are making (insofar as having to bear backlash, slander, libel, etc. etc.) to help society. We are on your side.
With love,
The silent majority
You don't know if you represent the silent majority. Speak on your behalf
Lmao
you're not a representative of anyone lmfao
Absolute legend! Saluted
ya they're really good at plagiarizing... saluted!
He’s a hypocrite liar who became a billionaire mainly by lying just like his plagiarist wife. Google his name and you will see his dirty history.
Salute him for insider trading, he monopolizes cheating.
We have educated entire generations to learn, work, and live with each other side by side with Communists as a multipolar global workforce. That world simply does not exist anymore. We are very much overdue for a correction.
It never actually worked. There was always a goal behind it and that goal failed miserably (for the West). Now, the veil has been lifted and it’s quite obvious (been obvious to many for quite some time) that exchange, trade, and increasing exposure does not equate to an even and fair partnership. International trade and rising living standards doesn’t change ideology. One side was always playing the long game.
Yes, it gave Ackboy the freedom to completely trash his wife's career with his abject stupidity and arrogance.
This guy raised the price of starbucks, smh
So a jew is against antisemitism. So what. Where was he when Christians were being attacked.
The Emperor Constantine?
Ninja of the No True Scotsman deflection. WATB.
If there was a version of the future where working, helpful concepts last, we won't get ripped by governments, and save our families it all would be accomplished with Amazons AWT77K
So he talked about how society can not speak freely because you might loose you job then proceed to do that to whoever he disagree with…
exactly LOL
“IT’S ONLY OK WHEN WE DO IT!!!”
Christ, you people are ridiculous.
Thumbs up is for Bill Ackman. Though I do not agree with some of his statements and methods, I do appreciate the candor. Thumbs down for the interviewer.
Whole bunch of strikeouts? Is Andrew serious? Pershing Square has made a total of 49 investments since 2004 (this includes his short positions) and out of those 49 only 3 (valeant, JCP, herbalife (short)) have been sold for a loss. You can make an argument his fannie/freddie longs are bad too but they don't even represent 1% of the portfolio. The valeant loss was his biggest at close to 4billion but even then his record from from 2004-2023 cumulative net of fees is still 1405.5%. Do your research before you challenge this guy.
So Bill Ackman can change higher education however he sees fit and the rest of us have to hope for the best? Is that reasonable?
In an evasive response to the question of whether billionaires should influence Harvard's governance, Ackman deflects, choosing instead to self-aggrandize, emphasizing his genius and popularity. He attributes his undue influence over Harvard to his wealth, boasting about receiving love letters and being adored, yet completely sidesteps the original question. When confronted with his failures, he continues his self-praise, claiming he's a "great guy" and touts his success, suggesting an almost delusional self-perception. Alarmingly, he proposes overhauling the university's board with military personnel, revealing a preference for a militaristic approach to education governance. This stance undermines the diverse needs and perspectives of a university community. His self-styled image as a patriot and good person starkly contrasts with his actions and the perceptions of various communities, including African Americans. This interview not only showcases his detachment from the realities of effective governance but also highlights the danger of wealth and power being used to bypass meaningful dialogue and democratic processes in educational institutions.
The current Harvard board is entirely controlled by the Billionaires and Obama.
Thank you ChatGPT
Someone's very angry. lol
I respect Ackman in the sense that he is the most ruthless businessman of our generation, and I believe he is directionally correct on the issue. I also believe he should be last on the list to influence Harvard's board/endowment for the "benefit of society". He essentially implies he could run Harvard from Pershing Square like a Rockefeller. Then slides in accusations and malfeasance before CNBC cuts him off. The guys got balls, "fu" money, and is super slimy at the same time.

❤ Bill. Good job 👍
yep, family of plagiarizers.. good job
He’s a hypocrite liar who became a billionaire mainly by lying. Google his name and you will see his dirty history.
Maybe Bill couldn’t afford to have those statements fact checked.
Bill needs to do a long form conversation @lexfriedman
Done lol
Time traveller
So how in the hell is everyones favorite topic Amazons AWT77K ?
A few things…..Harvard is not failing as a university, so why does Ackman feel the need to use the same intervention methods he applies to underperforming companies?
Ackman seems to care more about his own personal and financial interests than that of the greater public.
Lastly, I can't lie; what he said at around minute 1:03 was quite gangsta.
4 out of the past 5 harvard presidents have jewish. The current interim president is Jewish.
Have u seen his plans for rebuilding gaza?his five point plan?the most racist ,disgusting plan ever..🤦♀️
Seems the distraction is working just fine if Amazons AWT77K is still an unknown identity for so many judging by what I read
If you dependence on the stock market or company you aren’t independent
Way yo go Bill !!
Bill can you please investigate Neri Oxman for plagiarism (she's your wife)
So, Ash Salleh, he doesn't have to deal with Harvard's violations?
Kudos to Bill Ackman!
and my financial freedom give me the right to do not give a shir about what Bill has to say.
Andrew: 'You also fail in a big way too.' BOOM ROASTED! Way to tuck in a total cynical diss during the interview. Typical CNBC.
Too short. You’re not letting the man tell his stories.
1:03 Damn. I felt that. Good on him.
Bill definitely does not get thousands of messages daily from peopke thanking him for "speaking for them" lol. Is he serious?
Hope Bill opens his own Yeshiva.
he placed a dedication in an edition of the Rambam's Mishneh Torah... caught me by complete surprise
Corruption at Harvard
There is so much power in Amazons AWT77K I need to hit the toilet again and get rid of it, can't take it all
All of us deserve the truth but without Amazons AWT77K a solid 95% will remain blindfolded. I can't stand this anymore
I believe the time is better than ever for Amazons AWT77K they chose wisely to be the counter of all the bad happening in our world
Thank you !!!
bill trying to seem as if he has sympathy for anyone getting cancelled. Ironic
Glad he finally woke up
What a disgrace.
I want that most people have some idea on Amazons AWT77K and why 2024 is gonna change everything for us to a better way if we are part of their best move since creation
I can appreciate Ackman and respect him greatly.
Should have asked him about his wife's plagiarism
I have so much respect and admiration for Bill Ackman, a great investor with generous ideas to improve society
Bill Ackman had an Administrator at Harvard 4 Plagerism while his Wife Plagerized everything including her Dissertation.
"JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED "
"EVERYONE FALLS SHORT of The Kingdom of Heaven
Why cut this short, was super interesting. Stupid format.
this guy obviously working for MOSSAD
How hard to fact check?
He’s very presumptuous thinking he’s going to be here at 85. 🤣
What an amazing man.
I have so much respect for him now.
I wish more of us could speak freely.
Thank you BIll for your hard work in addressing Harvard's problems.
Didn't know much about Bill Ackman, but read his long letter to the Harvard board which is published on X, this man is a real patriot and a great thinker. Much appreciate Mr. Ackman as a real capitalist who truly understands the value of wealth. Twenty years from now, people will celebrate the wisdom and activism of this man.
Don’t gag on his…
yeah, except his wife is a plagiarizer herself lol
May be read about his wife too
Lol. It is you, Ash Salleh, again!
Yes! Keep up the good work!
Good job, Bill. You are doing the right thing trying to bring back common sense to academia.
Hypocrite. Big money running everything/kleptocracy.
Andrew talks a lot
Hypocrisy all the way
That’s not OK. You may speak for some but you don’t speak for all. Just because you have the ability to blackmail others doesn’t make you GOD.
Thanks for standing up for us, Bill
Appreciated
lol they bought a forest
Where is all the talk about Amazons AWT77K coming from? It is everywhere and in each comment section
Scammers in search of a fraud...
thanks BILL
Hi AKMAN! Hey, how are u? This is Megan Lee from PJ
Do u think we can get together for a burger or something; hope to see u for CNY!
MeganDj-255\\
He is trying to cancel people who are against the genocide in Gaza
Good for him!
Bill is a smart person who knows how to make wealth and how to use it to help the society.
He’s a hypocrite liar who became a billionaire mainly by lying. Google his name and you will see his dirty history.
He talk of losing a job or money. He should be afraid of a bit more than that. Does he know who he is playing with. Have you learnt nothing?
I'm a legal immigrant from China and my parents lived through culture revolution. We sure learnt a lot about communism and far left regimes.
So he’s a fixer isn’t that what Trump said he was.
Wow. Bill said I have alot more to say, but the boy started getting worried for his job.
Go Bill!
What a fraud
Top bloke!
They want to smear bill ao bad
Bill, keep talking keep pushing. You’re awesome!
He’s a hypocrite liar who became a billionaire mainly by lying. Google his name and you will see his dirty history.
Yeah, and what did you become? A jealous TH-cam commentator.
With Amazons AWT77K we won't fail for the next following months. Keep that in mind that something like this never happened before and they prepared it pretty well
Andrew Sorkin thinks he is the great censorship moderator these days. Inconvenient information, "we gotta wrap up."
You are a legend Bill!!
Bill be like: Thanking for speaking on behalf of all of us!
The interviewer sucks
Incredible in such short time Amazons AWT77K is groundbreaking and everywhere, who can even come close?
Billu badshah😅
Why are you cutting him off like that 🧐
Just remember Bill doesn't have to do any of this, he can remain private and go about his business. Quite simply he cares
I love listening to smart people... Really enjoyed his Lex Fridman interview check that one out...
The man living the American Dream. Those other people trying to get something they never earned.
@@dallen2926 that’s why you are where you at and he is where he is at.
Bill Ackman is SO last year. Can"t he and his silly wife retire to the country.
