Report: Bill Ackman 'Hammered' Charlie Kirk in August 'Intervention' for Platforming Israel Critics
Zionist billionaire Bill Ackman "hammered" Charlie Kirk during an August "intervention" in the Hamptons for platforming critics of Israel at TPUSA events, journalist Max Blumenthal reports.
"Ackman, according to multiple sources, had this meeting to basically bully Charlie Kirk into submission," Blumenthal told Judge Napolitano in an interview on Monday.
"Charlie Kirk walked away [from the meeting], according to one person, feeling like there was an attempt to blackmail him," he said.
"He refused any offers of funding, and also refused the offer to travel to Israel and meet with Netanyahu," Blumenthal said.
From The Grayzone, "Billionaire Bill Ackman convened stormy Israel ‘intervention’ with Charlie Kirk, sources say":
When his hosts presented him with a detailed list of every offense he supposedly committed against Israel, Kirk was “horrified,” said one person. At one point, according to another source, Ackman angrily chastised Kirk for his disobedience. The Zionist billionaire also allegedly demanded Kirk rescind his invitation for Tucker Carlson to speak at his upcoming America Fest 2025 in December.
The Grayzone reported on September 12, citing an associate of Kirk, that Netanyahu had offered to organize a massive infusion of pro-Israel money into TPUSA, and that Kirk refused. Another longtime friend of Kirk has told The Grayzone that the conservative activist also rejected an offer Netanyahu delivered two weeks before his death to meet with him in Jerusalem.
Kirk, according to one person with inside knowledge of the meeting with Ackman, said he left feeling as though he’d been subjected to “blackmail.”
In a series of text messages with The Grayzone, Ackman described these accounts of his meeting with Kirk as “totally false.” He pledged to release a public statement providing his own account of the event, but refused The Grayzone’s request for clarification or further details. He would not accept phone calls from this reporter.
“I think I can easily put this to bed,” Ackman promised, “I have receipts as they say.” He did not abide when asked to provide the so-called “receipts.”

Blumenthal said on X he learned more about the Hamptons meeting after publishing the piece from a source at the event.
"…Ackman convened the influencers under the auspices of a discussion about Zohran Mamdani and the supposed threat he posed to the West if elected mayor of New York. But the meeting went off the rails when Ackman personally confronted Kirk about his views on Israel. An unknown British woman joined in the argument, and began 'screaming' at Kirk, according to the attendee," Blumenthal wrote, citing the source.
