#413 โ€“ Bill Ackman: Investing, Financial Battles, Harvard, DEI, X & Free Speech

Think about it this way. When Biden's present now, you saw his recent impromptu press conference, which he did after the special prosecutor report, basically saying the guy was way past his prime, and then he confused the president of Mexico and the president of Egypt. So they're very careful when they roll him out and he's scripted and he's always reading from a lectern.

You know, this is the time where the people closest to you have to put their arms around you and say, you know, dad, you know, honey, you've, you know, you've done your thing. This is going to be your legacy and it's not going to be a good one. Great leaders should also know when to step down. Yeah. And one of the best tests of a leader is succession planning.

Sure, so the SEC doesn't like us to talk about new funds that we're launching that we filed with the SEC. Sure. But I would say I do, and by the way, if anyone's ever interested in a fund, they should always read the prospectus carefully, including the risk factors. That's very, very important. but I like the idea of democratizing access to good investors. And I think that's an interesting trend.

And we've gone through a really difficult period and it's time. We need a break. But look, I think the United States is an incredibly resilient country. We have some incredible moats. Among them, we have the Atlantic and the Pacific, and we have peaceful neighbors to the north and the south. We're an enormously rich country. Capitalism still works effectively here.
