Squawk Pod: Why Bill Ackman is endorsing Donald Trump - 10/23/24 | Audio Only

Pershing Square Capital Management CEO Bill Ackman discusses why, after years as a “centrist,” he is supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Comparing the Harris campaign with Trump's, the hedge funder says a Trump win is “in the best interest of the country.” Ackman also discusses the spread of misinformation online–including in his own posts. Plus, a conversation about treasury yields evolves into a spirited political debate, and billionaire Warren Buffett tells CNBC he will not endorse any political candidates, despite impersonators and misinformation about him on social media.

Harris could never endure an interview like Ackman just did.

Sorkin unfortunately had a seizure, he is the only Kamala staffer who is not paid by her campaign

Did CNBC accidentally delete the video?

Andrew Sorkin needs to be taken off the program with his propaganda.

I wish they would let their guests speak. Even if I disagree with Ackman (or Mark Cuban) this show is really difficult to listen to sometimes with the constant interruptions, meandering questions and lack of listening. The only time they should be interrupting is if the guest is not answering, lying or filibustering. They just interrupt and hector people. Talk sport shows have more discipline and manners.
