CNBCs Interview with Warren Buffett July 15th 2026 (1080p HD) [OICC94DUX7I]
After downing his third Cherry Coke of the morning (On Camera, Berkshire owns the company), 95-year-old Warren Buffett explains why he killed his "lifetime" pledge to the Gates Foundation after $47 billion in gifts, insisting it has nothing to do with Bill Gates' Epstein ties, which he read about in full, found distasteful, and forgave because nobody bats a thousand picking friends. The official reason is actuarial: he wants all $140 billion out the door by 2034 and doesn't trust anyone involved to still have their marbles by then, so the money now firehoses into his kids' foundations instead, with the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation's cut jumping tenfold, conveniently absorbing what Gates used to get. Files drop in January, Gates testifies in June, checkbook closes in July. Officially unrelated. He also crowns Greg Abel as the only man alive he'd trust with Berkshire, casually admits the $31 billion Alphabet bet was his own idea, and blesses Kevin Warsh at the Fed. And then cracks open another Cherry Coke. (On Camera. Shareholder privileges.)
