billionaire Bill Ackman convened stormy Israel ‘intervention’ with Charlie Kirk, sources say
Max Blumenthal·September 15, 2025
A month before Charlie Kirk’s killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others “hammered” Kirk for the conservative leader’s growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli “blackmail,” sources say, as he contemplated a Catholic conversion.
On September 11, one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman took to Twitter/X to trumpet his relationship with the late conservative operative. “I feel incredibly privileged to have spent a day and shared a meal with @charliekirk11 this summer. He was a giant of a man.”
The Grayzone has spoken to five people with intimate knowledge of Kirk’s meeting with Ackman, which was held in early August. According to one source, Kirk was left upset after the gathering turned into an “intervention” where he was “hammered” for his increasingly skeptical views on the US special relationship with Israel, and for platforming prominent conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events.
Since publishing this report, The Grayzone has learned from one attendee of the Hamptons event that 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. The public face of UK Lawyers for Israel, Natasha Hausdorff, joined in the argument, and began “screaming” at Kirk, according to the attendee.
When his hosts presented him with a detailed list of every offense he supposedly committed against Israel, Kirk was “horrified,” said one person. Ackman also allegedly demanded Kirk rescind his invitation for Tucker Carlson to speak at his upcoming America Fest 2025 in December.
“The whole thing was a disaster,” said an attendee.
The Grayzone reported on September 12, citing a longtime 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 account 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.”
In an apparent bid to reinforce the pro-Israel tone at the Hamptons meeting, Ackman hosted a coterie of pro-Israel operatives and conservative influencers at the off-the-record engagement. One was Instagram influencer Xaviaer DuRousseau of Prager U.
Reached by phone by The Grayzone, DuRousseau sounded flustered when asked about his presence at the meeting. He repeatedly demanded to know how this reporter obtained his number, and eventually hung up, refusing to answer questions about the event.
Several Instagram posts by DuRousseau show him and his friend, conservative influencer Emily Wilson, in the Hamptons on August 8 outside Topping Rose House, a posh hotel and restaurant in Bridgehampton, New York.
Two weeks after the meeting, DeRousseau was reportedly junketed on an all-expenses-paid trip by the Israeli government to visit a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation “aid” hub guarded by the IDF on the Gaza frontier. There, he recorded an Instagram video denying that the population of the besieged Gaza Strip was experiencing a famine.
The Grayzone received a similarly agitated response from Wilson, known online as Emily Saves America. Following a phone call and exchange of text messages in which this reporter asked her numerous times about her attendance of the meeting in the Hamptons, Wilson refused to comment. Instagram photos place her in the Hamptons at the same time as DuRousseau.
CJ Pearson, a leading youth coordinator for the Republican National Committee, immediately referred The Grayzone to his communications director when asked if he attended the Hamptons gathering.
The strong-arm tactics of the pro-Israel billionaires who helped fuel the growth of TPUSA were said to have contributed to Kirk’s alienation with evangelical Christianity, which emphasizes uncritical support for Israel as a bedrock principle. Several sources with access to Kirk said he had begun attending Catholic mass with his wife, Erika, and was considering a conversion before his death.
Bree Solsdadt, a Catholic Twitter/X influencer, has publicly corroborated this account of Kirk’s religious realignment. Kirk’s friend, the podcaster and former TPUSA personality Candace Owens, also alluded to the shift when she reflected that he was undergoing a “spiritual transformation” before his death.
Israel-centric influencer summit in the Hamptons
The Grayzone has obtained a partial list of attendees alleged to have been in attendance at the Bridgehampton meeting convened by Ackman this August. They include:
Seth Dillon – Dillion is the CEO of Babylon Bee, the conservative answer to the liberal The Onion satire outlet. Dillon and his crew have derisively mocked famine-stricken Palestinians and their supporters in the West, since Israel’s slash-and-burn campaign began in the besieged Gaza Strip. An evangelical Christian with Jewish heritage, he has claimed, “I did not cease having Ashkenazi blood when I put my faith in Jesus Christ (also a Jew).” Dillon did not answer calls from The Grayzone.
Xaviaer DuRousseau – DuRousseau is employed by Prager U, the premier right-wing “edu-tainment” hub targeting the minds of American youth. His boss, Marissa Streit, is a veteran of the Israeli army’s Unit 8200 cyber-spying division. A Black self-described former progressive, DuRousseau now appears firmly in the pocket of right-wing Zionist forces. During his Israeli government-funded visit to a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation “aid” hub inside Gaza, DuRousseau falsely claimed the United Nations and Hamas were to blame for the hunger sweeping the local population. “If I were Israel, I wouldn’t even provide matching socks to Gaza, but here’s all the aid that y’all claim doesn’t exist,” he said in an Instagram video filmed in front of boxes of aid blocked from entering Gaza. “Instead of Hamas distributing the ramen noodles,” DuRousseau continued, “their leaders are eating it all and that’s why they’re on Ozempic.”
DuRousseau vigorously defended his close friend, podcaster Emily Wilson, after she stated that “if everyone in the state [of Alabama]” wanted the return of chattel slavery, “go ahead, why do I give a shit?”
Emily Wilson aka Emily Saves America– Wilson is a Los Angeles-based self-described libertarian podcaster and social media influencer with over 500,000 followers on Instagram. On September 9, she recalled on Twitter/X how “a HUGE black guy” robbed her when she was 13. “I hate to say it but things like that just change the way you see certain people. After that I always thought, ‘oh, you guys just hate me,’” she reflected. This month, she and DuRousseau recorded a
in which they framed pro-Palestine activist Greta Thunberg’s hairstyle as evidence of her being “slow and short bus.”
“I don’t hang out with anyone really less attractive than me,” Wilson stated in a separate appearance.
Arynne Wexler – A former Goldman Sachs trader seeking cachet in the world of online influencers, Wexler is a vociferously Zionist, self-described “non-lib girl in a crazylib world.” In an interview with pro-Israel podcaster Dave Rubin, Wexler
that “we need to bring bullying back” to enforce social norms, crack down on conspiracy theories, and stop the rise of antisemitism. Wexler has praised Ackman’s pro-Israel activism on multiple occasions. She did not answer calls from The Grayzone.
Natasha Hausdorff – The legal director of Zionist advocacy group UK Lawyers for Israel, Hausdorff is arguably the best-known figure associated with the organization. She was described in one headline by Israel’s most widely-read newspaper, the Adelson-owned Israel Hayom, as “the British attorney who fights Israel’s wars.”
Nate Friedman – Friedman is a young ultra-Zionist influencer best known for New York City man-on-the-street confrontations with Palestine solidarity activists, whom he’s accused of being paid protesters.
Ory Rinat – Rinat was the former
to Jared Kushner, the Trump son-in-law and advisor, before moving on to serve as White House chief digital officer during Trump’s first term. A Jewish pro-Israel operative said to have close ties Netanyahu’s government, Rinat now serves as CEO of Urban Legend, a PR firm which commands “an army of 700 social media influencers who command varying degrees of allegiance from audiences that collectively number in the tens of millions,” according to Wired.
CJ Pearson – The chair of the Republican National Committee’s Youth Advisory Council, Pearson appeared in photos in the Hamptons alongside Wilson and DeRousseau. The Grayzone is awaiting further information from Pearson’s communications director.

Bill Ackman’s war
As The Grayzone reported on September 12, Kirk was besieged with angry calls and messages from pro-Israel donors to his organization following TPUSA’s Student Action Summit this July in Tampa, Florida. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had also phoned him, according to a longtime friend of Kirk, and offered to orchestrate a massive infusion of pro-Israel money into his organization.
A longtime friend of Kirk told The Grayzone the mounting pressure had left him “angry” and “frightened.”
Kirk vented about the pro-Israel intimidation campaign in an August 6 discussion with Megyn Kelly, a former Fox News host who was also growing more critical of Israeli influence in Washington.
“It’s all of the sudden, ‘Oh, Charlie: he’s no longer with us.’ Wait a second—what does ‘with us’ mean, exactly? I’m an American, okay? I represent this country,” Kirk
.
“The more that you guys privately and publicly call our character into question—which is not isolated, it would be one thing if it were just one text, or two texts; it is dozens of texts—then we start to say, ‘whoa, hold the boat here,’” Kirk continued. “To be fair, some really good Jewish friends say, ‘that’s not all of us’… But these are leaders here. These are stakeholders.”
He went on: “I have less ability… to criticize the Israeli government than actual Israelis do. And that’s really, really weird.”
Kirk delivered his comments around the same time as the tumultuous meeting in the Hamptons with Ackman and the crew of pro-Israel influencers.
A month earlier, Kirk had opened the stage at his TPUSA Student Action Summit for a cathartic outpouring of frustration and rage about Israel’s political hammerlock on the Trump administration. At the conference, speakers from Carlson and
to the anti-Zionist Jewish comedian Dave Smith slammed Israel’s blood-soaked assault on the besieged Gaza Strip, branded Jeffrey Epstein as an Israeli intelligence asset, and openly taunted Zionist billionaires like Ackman for “getting away with scams” despite having “no actual skills.”
The mockery by Carlson was particularly galling for Ackman. One day after TPUSA’s conference, Ackman staged a 4,000 word Twitter/X meltdown defending his financial acumen, while insisting that he earned his vast fortune because, “I inherited good genes.”
In fact, the 59-year-old manager of the Pershing Square Capital hedge fund had presided over a precipitous decline in his own personal fortune through a series of bad bets. Between 2015 and 2018, amid a bull market, Ackman’s fund tallied embarrassingly negative returns that cost him an eye-popping $12 billion in losses. His
to short the multi-level marketing company Herbalife backfired, resulting in a devastating squeeze that cost him heavily. Ackman’s financial mishaps forced him to slash one fifth of his staff in 2018.
The billionaire also took issue with Carlson’s contention that he had been part of convicted sex offender and late Zionist financier Jeffrey Epstein’s “constellation of people.” Yet Carlson’s remarks were grounded in fact. Indeed, Ackman’s wife, the celebrity Israeli designer Neri Oxman, had gifted an artistic orb to Epstein after he plowed $125,000 in donations into her Media Lab at MIT. She was invited to lunch with Epstein on several occasions, according to the Boston Globe, and complied with MIT’s requirement to keep her gift to Epstein confidential.
Ackman has significantly elevated his public profile by leading fellow Zionist billionaires in a ruthless crackdown on post-October 7 Palestine solidarity activism in the US. By leveraging his fortune, Ackman helped dislodge the political scientist Claudine Gay as president of Harvard University, his alma mater, accusing her of adopting an insufficiently draconian policy toward students protesting Israel’s assault on Gaza.
After weeks of pummeling from Ackman, GOP members of Congress, and pro-Israel media, Gay finally quit when conservative activists produced evidence that she had plagiarized in her academic writing. While Ackman claimed victory, he howled with indignation when Business Insider returned the favor with a detailed article which documented multiple cases of plagiarism by his own wife, the designer Oxman. According to the outlet, Oxman “stole sentences and whole paragraphs from Wikipedia, other scholars and technical documents in her academic writing.”
Ackman responded by announcing that he would fund a plagiarism review of every MIT faculty member. He also delivered a 77-page lawsuit threat to Axel Springer, the publisher of Business Insider, accusing them of publishing claims “designed to cause her harm, principally because the reporters do not like me, my support for Israel, and my advocacy.” He quickly dropped the lawsuit, however, claiming he did so because Springer is “an important advocate against antisemitism.”
In May 2024, the Washington Post revealed Ackman as a leading member of a Whatsapp group of 50 ultra-wealthy Zionists coordinating counterinsurgency-style actions against student anti-genocide protesters at Columbia University.
According to the report, the millionaire cabal sought to buy off Black celebrities as propaganda puppets and dangled bribes before New York City Mayor Eric Adams to deploy the NYPD against student protesters. “Some members also offered to pay for private investigators to assist New York police in handling the protests, the chat log shows — an offer a member of the group reported in the chat that Adams accepted,” the Post reported.
This June 14, as Israel reeled at the Iranian response to its unprovoked assault days earlier, Ackman launched his next campaign: “@Israel needs our help to destroy Iran’s nuclear threat to the world…” the hedge funder declared on Twitter. “Israel does not have the equipment and armaments to complete the job. We do, and it does not require boots on the ground.”
Multiple sources, including a Trump administration official, have revealed to The Grayzone that Kirk personally visited Trump inside the White House to lobby him against attacking Iran. Trump “roared” at Kirk, one said, and shut down the conversation.
A month later, Kirk allowed the simmering rage within the conservative grassroots over Israel’s stranglehold on Washington to pour out at his TPUSA summit. Soon after, he was summoned to the Hamptons for a face-to-face with one of Netanyahu’s most influential allies in the US. Before Ackman and a cast of avaricious young influencers under Israel’s sway, he defied the billionaire power broker, then returned home to prepare for what would be his final speaking tour.
Following Kirk’s killing, Ackman ponied up a $1 million payout for anyone who provided information leading the capture of the shooter. That money may wind up with the father of the suspect, Tyler Robinson, who reportedly turned him in.

Turning Point USA’s cynical exploitation of CJ Pearson
by Brad Polumbo
| October 09, 2019
Pro-Trump teenage commentator CJ Pearson is known for three things: His youth, his status as a black Republican, and his tendency to say "controversial and provocative" things. Now, the pro-Trump group Turning Point USA, led by Charlie Kirk, seeks to cash in and exploit all three.
Pearson took to his Twitter account this week to announce his new partnership with TPUSA. He’s joining the organization as a “brand ambassador.” It’s unclear exactly what this position entails but no doubt it still involves elevating Pearson as a face of the organization. And this is where TPUSA errs.
The Left sees value in anointing teenagers, such as Greta Thunberg or David Hogg, as leaders of their political movement because they can then use their youth as a shield to deflect criticism of their ideas. (You can't attack a kid!) But that doesn’t make it right for TPUSA to do the exact same thing. Pearson's acolytes already use his youth as a shield. When I criticized his defense of white nationalism, countless Twitter trolls blasted me for "attacking a child." This defense ignores that they demanded we take him seriously as a public figure in the first place.
IDEOL ENTRE]
It's telling to follow Pearson's intellectual journey before he ended up at TPUSA. Pearson was an Obama-hating critic, then a Bernie Sanders supporter and #NeverTrumper, and now an ardent support of the president. And it's fine and normal for a teenager to wander ideologically. But that's my point.
Any minor is going to be too intellectually undeveloped to be a meaningful spokesman for any movement. That makes the attempt to use him as a spokesman exploitative.
Signing Pearson is another example of Turning Point USA engaging in the same identity politics they’re so quick to decry. The organization (often rightly) blasts the Left for its shameful attempts to divide Americans by identity but then props up their own “black leadership summits” and employed activists such as Candace Owens who peddle in cheap, race-baiting rhetoric like “leaving the Democratic plantation.”
Pearson is just a teenager, and I expect he’ll wise up as he grows up. The blame lies with the adults like Charlie Kirk so willing to exploit a youthful voice who they think they can use to push their pro-Trump agenda. It’s hard to believe that anyone at Turning Point USA has Pearson’s best interests in mind, or is even thinking about his future at all.

Early life and education
Pearson was born as Coreco Ja'Quan Pearson on July 31, 2002, in Augusta, Georgia, his parents registered Democratic.[3][4][5] In 2012, his family moved to Grovetown where Pearson attended Columbia Middle School. He was elected student body president in seventh grade, though he stepped down in order to form the Young Georgians in Government political group and participate in other political activities.[6] In 2016, he started attending Evans High School as a freshman.[7] He lives with his grandparents, Willie and Robin Pearson.[8] He graduated from Evans High School in May 2020.[9][10] He started attending the University of Alabama in late 2020 and is majoring in business.
Career
Political activism
Pearson first became interested in politics when his first grade class held a mock presidential election, representing that of the 2008 United States presidential election.[8] Pearson states that the class was instructed to research the political views of then-U.S. Senator from Illinois Barack Obama who ran as the Democratic presidential nominee (and who became the 44th U.S. president) and Senator from Arizona John McCain who ran as the Republican presidential nominee.[11]
He voted for John McCain in the mock election, because he was inspired by McCain's military service, and began following political news topics.[8] Aged eight, he started blogging in support of different conservative politicians in Georgia[5] and participated in political campaigning in the 2014 United States midterm elections, conducting door-to-door and telephone surveys.[11] After the 2014 midterm elections, Pearson founded a political group named Young Georgians in Government, to involve young people in the "political process and develop solutions for government."[12]
In February 2015, Pearson received international media attention which led him to embark in his career in politics and journalism, after he created a YouTube channelon February 21, 2015, and two days later posted a video, "President Obama: Do you really love America?" in which he defended former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani about the comments Giuliani had made criticizing then President Barack Obama.[13]
Pearson also criticized Obama, saying, "If you really did love America, you would call (Islamic State) what it really is: an assault on Christianity, an assault on America and downright hate for the American values that our country holds—freedom of speech, freedom of religion and every single thing that our country stands for."[13] The video received more than half a million views in its first two days and by June 2015 had logged nearly two million views, with it receiving both praise and criticism.[14]
Pearson, in March 2015, began promoting his own constitutional amendment to lower the age restriction for assuming public office in Georgia to age 18 in the House and age 21 in the Senate.[15][16] He has acquired seven co-sponsors for the bill, including State Representatives Ben Harbin, Barry Fleming, and Buzz Brockway.[5]
During the 2016 United States presidential election, Pearson campaigned for several different Republican presidential nominees. In April 2015, he campaigned for United States Senator from Kentucky Rand Paul's presidential campaign and said that Paul has a "unique ability" to connect with millennials.[17]
Later that year, in September 2015, Pearson left Paul's campaign and joined United States Senator from Texas Ted Cruz's presidential campaign, and Cruz named Pearson as national chairman of "Teens for Ted", with Cruz commenting “Young people are looking for someone who does more than just talk a good game. They want someone who has walked the walk,”[18][19] Pearson, after Cruz had dropped out, said that he disavowed conservatism.[20][21] Pearson then endorsed Bernie Sanders[22][23] and then when Sanders dropped out he joined now-President Donald Trump's presidential campaign as national chairman of Teens for Trump.[24]
In June 2020, Pearson helped raise $160,000 for black-owned businesses that were damaged or destroyed during the protests in Metro Atlanta as the result of the murder of George Floyd.[25]
He was the campaign manager for Vernon Jones during his 2022 Georgia gubernatorial campaign.[26]
Attempt to overturn 2020 election results
In the 2020 United States presidential election, Pearson was nominated by the Republican Party to serve as an elector for the state of Georgia.[27] However, it is unclear whether he would have served as an elector if president Donald Trump won; the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution stated that he did not serve as an elector because his residence was in Alabama while away at college while the Arizona Mirror, Pennsylvania Capital-Star and The Albany Herald list him as one of Trump's alternate electors.[28][29][30] Federal investigators announced they were investigating Georgia Republicans who refused to serve as alternative electors and contacted Pearson whosaid he would cooperate with investigators.[28]
After Joe Biden won the 2020 election, Pearson promoted baseless claims of fraud in the election.[31][32][33][34] In late November, Pearson—represented by right-wing lawyer and former Trump attorneySidney Powell—sued Georgia Governor Brian Kempand others inPearson v. Kemp, a conspiracy-laden lawsuit filed in the federal district court in Atlanta that attempted to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. In December 2020, the court dismissed the suit.[35][36][37]
Columns
Pearson's columns have appeared in outlets such as TIME, The Huffington Post, MTV News, The Daily Beast.[38]
Political views
Over the timeline of Pearson's career, he has changed political views and has changed support from candidate to candidate in the 2016 United States presidential election. Pearson, when first embarking on a political commentator career after the viral YouTube video he made in February 2015, described himself as conservative, in addition to the media.[39]
In November 2015, Pearson changed his political views, and "renounced conservatism" and was questioning the ideology of the Republican Party, stating that "My views on the issues aren't going to be dictated by one political platform or another."[2] In December 2015, Pearson endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent seeking the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.[40] Later that month, Pearson published an article for MTV criticizing Trump and his presidential campaign and saying that the prospect of a Trump presidency "scares the crap out of me."[41]
In August 2016, Pearson wrote an article for Time magazine in support of Trump, commenting that his political views had changed drastically since 2015. He said that he supported Sanders and now Trump because, in his view, their campaign platforms had a lot of similarity.[24][11] Pearson describes himself as an anti-establishment populist and is a Christian.[42][43] However, as of 2018, he describes himself on his Twitter feed as "fighting for a bold conservative future."[] In 2020, Pearson became a member of the Republican Party when he registered to vote on his eighteenth birthday.[1]
Controversies
White House–Twitter
On September 23, 2015, Pearson falsely claimed that he was blocked from President Barack Obama's official presidential social media account on Twitter,[44] due to comments he made criticizing Obama for inviting Ahmed Mohamed to the White House after Mohamed was suspended for bringing an invention to school.[45] Official White House assistant press secretary Frank Benenati made a statement that no one has ever been blocked from Obama's account, with other users on Twitter challenging Beneati's statement regarding the matter.[46]
Pearson denounced the claim made by the White House, stated that they were lying about him. "They lied about Benghazi," he said, "They lied about the IRS. They lie about every issue of importance to the American people."[47][44] A subsequent tweet by Pearson said that he was still following the personal Twitter account of Obama, and there was no timestamp or external information on the screenshotted tweet.
In addition to the White House denying the claims made by Pearson, Oliver Darcy, a reporter for The Blaze, reported the incident to be false.[48] When blocked by an account on Twitter, the blocked user is unable to see the tweets of the account that has blocked them, but it was seen that Pearson was still following the presidential Twitter account Obama, in contradiction to earlier claims.[48] The screenshot provided by Pearson in support of his claim, was deemed to be an edited photo that another user posted. He was asked to comment, and stated that he "refuse[d] to engage in conspiracy theories.”[48]
Alleged cyberbullying
In May 2016, Pearson faced disciplinary action for allegedly bullying two white female students in an Instagram group chat.[49] This group chat was deleted before these claims could be thoroughly verified. Pearson claims his actions were retaliation for several comments, some of which were sexual in nature, and that thetwo girls were "the real bullies".[49] Pearson posted a video on YouTube urging his supporters to contact the Columbia County School District on his behalf. Pearson faced suspension for the remainder of the school year after attending a disciplinary hearing.[50]

Biography
Pearson grew up in Georgia and started being a token at a relatively early age. Despite his youth, he is competing with older, better-established tokens like Larry Elder, Jesse Lee Peterson, Brandon Tatum, and Candace Owens. While many might find his political views abhorrent, they have to respect the hustle. Pearson began his career at the tender age of 12 when he was kicked off of Facebook for being too conservative young when he made a popular video that criticized Barack Obama.[3]
Career
Pearson is a garden variety conservative wingnut. His views are almost identical to his fellow right wing grifters like Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk. He was astute enough to recognize fairly early that being a token can be very lucrative. Without tokenism, how else would Confederate flag-waving Republicans be able to convince others that they don't really hate black people? That's where people like Pearson come into play. Given his online support for Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign, some believe Pearson is actually in it for the cash.

- He's not sure if he really cares about working-class people.[4][5][6]

- He can't decide if it's acceptable to use the race card.[8]
