00:00:00.000Hey everybody, thank Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000Bill Ackman does a mea culpa when he now acknowledges his funding of Harvard involvement with subsidizing Jew hatred, Western hatred, and hatred of white people.

00:01:59.000He's probably best known for making nearly $2.5 billion for shorting the market right before COVID on March 3rd, 2020.
00:02:07.000That's where I first was made aware of him.
00:02:09.000He made a $27 million short of the market, ended up netting him $2.6 billion during COVID.
00:02:16.000He has a very unique investment style.
00:02:18.000He only invests in seven or eight stocks.
00:02:21.000He goes all in on seven or eight companies.
00:02:23.000He's done some activist stuff in years past.
00:02:25.000Of course, I'm talking about Bill Ackman.
00:02:28.000Bill Ackman is somebody that most Americans don't know of.
00:02:32.000He hasn't done anything that radical, but he's donated tons of money to Planned Parenthood.
00:02:37.000He's donated to Richard Blumenthal, Chuck U. Schumer, Robert Menendez, the Democrat National Committee, the Democrat Senatorial Committee.
00:02:44.000He has been very, very generous to Jewish causes, including the Center for Jewish History, the Innocence Project as well, and Centurion Ministries in Princeton, New Jersey.
00:02:55.000He's a typical New York Wall Street type donor.
00:03:00.000Nothing overly radical, not like George Soros, but certainly not investing in causes that would strengthen the United States of America.
00:03:10.000There's many people like Bill Ackman, Harvard-educated, regime type, promoted the COVID vaccine.
00:03:17.000So you don't spend much time thinking about people like him.
00:03:20.000It's not that different than other Wall Street types.
00:03:26.000Bill Ackman is an independent thinker.
00:03:29.000We saw evidence of this where Bill Ackman, out of nowhere during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, Bill Ackman tweeted out saying Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself.
00:03:42.000Bill Ackman looks at the data, he looks at the facts, and he comes to a conclusion.
00:03:46.000Now, being raised in New York Jewish life and going to Harvard, he tilted to the center left.
00:03:55.000In fact, gave a lot of money to the left.
00:04:13.000And he has all the toys of a billionaire.
00:04:16.000Big plane, homes, mansions, you name it.
00:04:20.000But Bill Ackman will look at the data, and evidently he is willing to say something about it.
00:04:30.000After October 7th, Bill Ackman led the charge in calling out Harvard, which has become a threat to the American homeland, a threat to our country, when 31 student organizations came out in support of Hamas's butchery, the attempted Holocaust of the Jewish people in the nation of Israel.
00:04:49.000Not where they targeted army installations or military camps.
00:05:00.000And the Harvard organizations applauded it with enthusiasm, with vigor, with passion.
00:05:09.000Bill Ackman saw this as a prominent Harvard graduate.
00:05:14.000He received his Bachelor of Arts degree, magnum cum laude, in social studies from Harvard, a major donor, and well known in high finance circles in New York as being one of the Harvard gatekeepers, well-connected, well-respected, gave money to all the right causes.
00:05:34.000Bill Ackman saw the rapes, the murders by Hamas against Israel, and he was speechless when Harvard was celebrating it.
00:05:45.000Not just one fringe person, not one professor, but it seemed institutionally that Harvard and 31 student organizations came out and said, glory to our martyrs.
00:05:59.000Bill Ackman then came out and said, I will not hire a single person who participated in this post Harvard University, a post-Harvard University sort of activity.
00:06:11.000He said, we will not hire those people.
00:06:13.000He famously was supportive of putting the names and faces of the students that were involved in this.
00:06:21.000Bill Ackman tried to get the attention of the president of Harvard, President Gay.
00:06:28.000President Gay is in front of Congress right now, having to answer for what Harvard University has become.
00:06:36.000Bill Ackman tried to get the attention of President Gay in charge of Harvard, did everything he possibly could.
00:07:08.000It is a trend of wealthy elites that at times have financed and participated in behavior that is self-destructive, and they are publicly reconsidering.
00:07:23.000And I think one person deserves the most credit for blazing this trail, Elon Musk.
00:07:29.000I think Elon Musk, purchasing Twitter, Elon Musk speaking out on these things, has created space for other elites to do the same.
00:07:39.000So Bill Ackman tried to get the president of Harvard's attention.
00:07:42.000Hey, President Gay, can we have a meeting?
00:07:50.000In one of the most powerful letters that I have seen in the last couple of years, especially in regards to colleges and higher education, Bill Ackman wrote and published a public letter to the president of Harvard.
00:08:04.000Bill Ackman did his homework in his research.
00:08:06.000He has whistleblowers of professors and faculty members that acknowledge and admit what Harvard has become.
00:08:12.000Now, when you first start reading this letter, you think, okay, Bill Ackman is going to say, how dare you, President Gay?
00:08:19.000Harvard University has become a hotbed of anti-Semitism, and that's not okay.
00:08:24.000He says that, but he goes a step two, three, four further.
00:08:31.000Bill Ackman doesn't just say that it's a hotbed of anti-Semitism.
00:08:35.000Bill Ackman articulates in great detail that Harvard is producing anti-American and anti-white activists.
00:08:46.000His words that are infiltrating the rest of the country.
00:08:51.000He has whistleblowers from Harvard that say years ago, Harvard stopped being a place where all perspectives were welcome.
00:08:56.000Quote, Harvard is a place where loud-filled, hate-filled protests appear to be encouraged, but where faculty and students can't share points of view that are inconsistent with the accepted narrative on campus.
00:09:06.000Harvard became a place where if you throw the party line, there was applause.
00:09:18.000When Bill Ackman asked the faculty about the causes behind the Israeli Gaza protests and the tolerance of anti-Semitism on campus, you would think that Bill Ackman was reading from the Charlie Kirk Show transcripts.
00:09:42.000It is therefore okay to hate Israel and Jews as they are deemed to be oppressors.
00:09:47.000Boy, we've been making that argument since the very first day.
00:09:50.000We said, once you create the framework for a generation to view the world through a certain lens, don't be shocked when they apply that lens to Israel.
00:10:00.000Bill Ackman was once a financier and a funder of these ideas, but wait till you see the kicker of the letter.
00:10:07.000This is a very promising trend, everybody, of people that were once complicit with their funding and their alliance to the worst institutions are now defecting and are at war with them.
00:10:20.000Tis the season to see beautiful pine trees covered in snow, but have you read about pine needle extract?
00:10:42.000It's wild harvested, kept wrought alive by Ascent Nutrition.
00:10:45.000Pine needle extract qualifies as a superfood because of over the 200 bioactive vitamins, nutrients, and minerals, amino acids, and enzymes to bring to your body.
00:10:54.000This extract naturally contains nature's highest source of DHEA, which people call the happiness hormone.
00:11:02.000The reported benefits are extensive, so I encourage you to research and ask your doctor about the supplement.
00:11:07.000Because it is wild harvested, it's made in small batches.
00:11:09.000That means it is about to sell out for the holidays.
00:11:12.000This particular product sells out fast every time a new shipment drops.
00:11:16.000I put it in my coffee and you should too.
00:11:18.000If you've got someone you're thinking of on your Christmas list who would love this in their stocking, check out the hottest new health trend for your health-conscious loved ones.
00:11:25.000Give the gift of good health this Christmas with Ascent Nutrition.
00:12:10.000This here is a tomahawk missile against the educational regime.
00:12:18.000This here is not just, by the way, millions of people have viewed this tweet, about 5 million people at the last counting, but it's also Bill Ackman is an opinion shaper.
00:12:28.000He's extremely smart and very, very well respected amongst high society elites.
00:12:35.000So when Bill Ackman writes this, you better believe that thousands of other Harvard alumni, hundreds of other Wall Street types are saying, oh boy, if Bill Ackman is saying this.
00:12:46.000Understand, Bill Ackman is now an investor in X and has defended X against the advertiser boycott.
00:12:52.000So Bill Ackman, five years ago, would have been labeled as Democrat donor, Harvard apologist, defender of democracy, all that crap.
00:13:03.000Now all of a sudden, Bill Ackman is defecting.
00:13:25.000This letter is extraordinary because he very well could have, I thought he was going to land the letter by saying, President Gay, it's unacceptable, all the Jew hatred.
00:13:58.000He says, discrimination at Harvard is not limited to anti-Semitism.
00:14:04.000The problems at Harvard are clearly not just about Jews and Israel.
00:14:13.000It is abundantly clear that straight white males are discriminated against in recruitment and advancement at Harvard.
00:14:22.000I have been attacked relentlessly the last two years when I say clearly and plainly into the camera that there is a war on white people in the West, including in colleges and Harvard.
00:15:14.000The group's founder, Turning Point USA, is Charlie Kirk, a white conservative agitator who has built a following in flaming racial divides.
00:15:24.000That's what the Associated Press says about me.
00:15:44.000Some people are not receiving this well, and I'm going to challenge you guys.
00:15:48.000I think repentance is a beautiful thing.
00:15:50.000If it's sincere, if it's fake, no question.
00:15:54.000But when somebody acknowledges that they've been making a mistake, when somebody says, Boy, I was doing something wrong, and now I want to correct it, that sort of humility is encouraging, and it's honestly beautiful.
00:16:38.000Bill Ackman, I am embarrassed for not having been aware and previously taken the time to investigate these issues until anti-Semitism exploded on campus.
00:16:48.000I should have paid more attention as it did not take a forensic analysis to surface and better understand these issues.
00:16:56.000God bless Bill Ackman for his courage.
00:18:54.000I'm embarrassed for not having been aware and previously taken the time to investigate these issues until anti-Semitism exploded on campus.
00:19:01.000I should have paid more attention as I did not take a forensic analysis to service and better understand these issues.
00:19:07.000So some people on the right are receiving this Bill Ackman letter and letters like it with bitterness.
00:19:14.000They say, oh, who are you, Bill Ackman?
00:19:17.000You've been a major donor of this stuff.
00:19:19.000Excuse me while I don't accept your repentance.
00:19:23.000I think this is totally the wrong approach.
00:19:24.000First of all, I could say from personal experience, I said some really stupid stuff five or six years ago.
00:19:30.000And some people still hold it against me.
00:19:32.000Charlie, you said something five years ago, really stupid.
00:19:35.000That's not a way that civilization should operate.
00:19:37.000That is an unforgiving, rigid, and honestly a ghoulish society that does not allow for repentance or forgiveness or advancement, acknowledgement of error.
00:20:02.000If somebody makes a mistake and says, yeah, I was wrong here, and now I'm willing to correct.
00:20:07.000We should welcome them with open arms.
00:20:08.000Now, it has to be a legitimate repentance.
00:20:10.000For example, if Bill Ackman wrote this letter and the next day he gave a $10 million donation to Harvard, then, okay, we know that it's a fraud.
00:22:27.000It's amazing how much can get done if you don't care who gets the credit.
00:22:31.000This is an incredibly powerful article.
00:22:33.000This guy is a professor emeritus of German literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz, author of The Breakdown of Higher Education, How It Happened, the Damage It Does, and What Can Be Done.
00:23:20.000If enough parents and students gave serious thought to the question whether this ridiculous version of a college education is still worth four years of a young person's life and tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, corrupt institutions of higher education would collapse, creating the space for better ones to arise.
00:23:36.000The biggest threat to our future isn't climate change, China, or the national debt.
00:23:41.000It is the tyrannical grip that a hopelessly corrupt higher education now has on our national life.
00:23:48.000If we don't stop it now, it will eventually destroy the most successful society in world history.
00:23:55.000That's the Wall Street Journal's opinion section today.
00:24:13.000In the events that have unfolded post-October 7th, this is the kicker, is not only are people's eyes being opened to the Jew hatred, it is being opened to the entire poisonous, toxic, and venomous worldview that our universities are creating.
00:24:33.000The bigotry industrial complex that is anti-white, anti-Jewish, anti-Western, anti-Christian, and anti-American.
00:24:41.000The bigotry collegiate complex that we have seen.
00:24:45.000And it's not, and by the way, our taxpayer dollars are funding it and donors are funding it, but it's changing.
00:25:41.000And President Kohnbluth, what is the percentage of conservative professors at MIT?
00:25:48.000We do not document people's political views, but considering...
00:25:50.000Shamefully revealing that there's no diversity and inclusion of intellectual thought.
00:25:56.000Colleges have become a place where they want everyone to look different, but think the same.
00:26:03.000Their idea of diversity is melanin content, not intellectual or ideological diversity.
00:26:15.000Elise Stefanik leans in to President Gay of Harvard, President Gay of Harvard, who is doing more damage to the American homeland overseeing Harvard with a $50 billion endowment, putting the Harvard Crimson logo behind the most destructive, bigoted, and cancerous ideas imaginable, Play Cut 41.
00:26:38.000Will admissions offers be rescinded or any disciplinary action be taken against students or applicants who say, from the river to the sea or into FADA advocating for the murder of Jews?
00:26:52.000As I've said, that type of hateful, reckless, offensive speech is personally abhorrent to me.
00:27:00.000And today that no action will be taken, what action will be taken?
00:27:04.000When speech crosses into conduct that violates our policies, including policies against bullying, harassment, or intimidation, we take action.
00:27:15.000And we have robust disciplinary processes that allow us to hold individuals accountable.
00:27:21.000What action has been taken against students who are harassing and calling for the genocide of Jews on Harvard's campus?
00:27:30.000I can assure you, we have robust I'm asking what actions have been taken against students.
00:27:39.000Given students' rights to privacy and our obligations under FERPA, I will not say more about any specific cases other than to reiterate that processes are ongoing.
00:28:11.000And that means that you might have to be moving boxes or just it's tough, a lot of stress, and that means inflammation increases.
00:28:18.000And that means pain also might increase alongside of it.

00:29:21.000For those of you that are not yet convinced at what these institutions of higher education have become, these are black Harvard students dressed in Middle Eastern garb saying, quote, there is not black liberation without Palestinian liberation.
00:29:36.000All black people in this nation, we understand, liberation trouble.
00:31:24.000It's called the H-Bomb, where people from Harvard are very careful not to say that they went to Harvard because they don't want to seem presumptuous or pretentious.
00:31:33.000They just say, I went to school outside of Boston.
00:32:17.000Understand that so many of these Ivy League types, like those maniac, those blacks there, they think that they can walk around the rest of their world borrowing on the quote-unquote prestige of the Harvard name, that they could do whatever they want, and they probably will.
00:32:31.000They'll probably get into the club because a bunch of white liberals want to be told that they're racist by these very stupid Harvard graduates that, you know, oh, yeah, the original OG apartheid.
00:33:27.000And now, if you say, if I meet you and you say, I went to Yale, I went to Princeton, I went to Stanford, I went to Harvard, I kind of assume you're not very smart and that you're a bigot.
00:33:42.000I feel sorry for some of them, but I am not going to bend the knee the thing that every Ivy League person, sorry, Blake, deep down enjoys, where they kind of have this weird power trip over you.
00:34:05.000You go to the worst of all the institutions.
00:34:08.000Now, if you tell me you went to Hillsdale, all of a sudden you have my respect.
00:34:11.000You tell me you went to Harvard, I think you go to a museum of a school that used to be great and is now a factory of the worst ideas on the planet.
00:34:26.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
