Kevin O'Leary, Chairman of O'Leary Ventures and a judge on "Shark Tank", tells CNN's Laura Coates about how participating in the pro-Palestinian protests across college campuses is impacting students' future employability. #CNN #News
And they have every right to do that because they are the boss and you are the employee that is supposed to submit. Your butt belongs to your employer when you are punched in. Making fire you for behavior outside of work that is not compliant to their rules
They don't care as long as they are financially on top. They can pick and choose. If you can have a top guy for the job that respects authority (i.e. you) or one with the same qualification that fought against the police. Who would you hire? Be honest with yourself.
*Edit: Got the wrong guy, my bad. Actually he's a successful one. Kevin founded "Boston Pizza", which in the states I believe is "Bostons" or some such. Regardless, it's a massive chain of sports bars that's incredibly popular in Canada. The one by my old condo would actually have bouncers and a cover charge on big UFC nights. Fortunately the managers knew me, I was there 1-2 times a week, and knew I don't care for UFC and just wanted my food, so they'd wave me in past the waiting crowds and bouncers, no charge. When a man's business is standing room only, I'd say it's doing pretty good.
summary: be silent or else Kevin won't give you bread to eat. "life is hard, you have to make decisions", he just made my decision to protest even easier.
@@scillyautomaticmaybe, but companies also have the right to know if their employees will attempt to storm the company building if they disagree with them. Everyone can have an opinion and the right to express it, not everyone is turning it into ugly spectacle wearing masks.
CNN News goes to O'Leary for advice about how participating in a protest will kill your career? Why not ask him about being involved in a boating accident that kills other people? His wife did not wait for police to check her for alcohol consumption, before she had a drink after the "accident"; but, that did not appear to influence her career nor his career, did it?
Nope…the rich literally get away with manslaughter because….they’re RICH. So guilty…but she’ll have to live with that for the rest of her life. Horrible. Zero accountability.
You probably support Hamas, that's why you are angry about this. Fuck Kevin for his involvement in FTX and support of SBF, but he is not wrong here. These people would be a nightmare to hire
You have been duped by the game where government creates evil "non tax payers" so that you are distracted from Government overtaxing everyone to being with! You are so busy hating the rich that you forget the government is robbing you.
If everyone was silent for the injustice No black man would be free from slavery,No African or asian countries would have been freed. No human being would have been have a dignified life 🥇
The fact that CNN is quoting the Right Wing New York Post and the CEO of nearly the most Evil Corporation on Planet Earth (Exxon Valdez Mobil) is all I need to know about how far off the cliff of right wing corporate led politics CNN has fallen.
Native Americans are still not free, they are still being suppressed by a foreign colonial regime. From sea to shining sea, Native America will be free!
O'Leary didn't say the quiet part out loud, but corporate America basically wants obedient followers. This is not even a knock at them, but corporations want people who do not challenge authority. They want you to do what you are told to do, and to take the fall if something goes wrong. That's the ideal candidate at one of these big banks or corporations.
@@marchofempires7297bro, no they weren't...that was the Pro-Israel counter protesters and the cops causing the violence and destruction at UCLA and other colleges.
You deserve to be investigated as a fully grown adult using an adjective like "stinky" to name someone you don't like. I've literally only ever known toddlers to behave in this way
@@phoenixmodellingphotography So what's your opinion of Trump using 3rd grade nicknames on everyone? The only reason he didn't use "Stinky" on someone else is that's the nickname everyone close to him use to refer to Trump.
Can someone please conduct a survey to see what percentage of students wants a job at those companies? VS, What percentage of university graduates have those companies hired each year?
Something tells me that those aren't the type of kids who would apply for jobs at ExxonMobil, Hedge Fund Management, or McKinsey. Try harder CNN, this pathetic.
Nobody needs workers who will let their ideological fantasies drive them to torch companies from the inside. They're the kind of kids who would infiltrate and destroy from within. Wouldn't you say?
Except they kinda are lol All those baby boomers who protested during the 60's? Lot of them went on to join the corporate system and collect their 401k lol (Hell, the Minister of the Environment in Canada is a former Greenpeace acativist who got arrested protesting as a youth). It's a stereotype that you cut your hair, put on your suit and tie, and join the system lol (look at CNN's own Van Jones as a prime example). The Vampire Weekend song "The Kids Don't Stand a Chance" is a great illistration of this.
There’s a reason the kkk wore masked hoods just like there’s a reason these protesters are wearing masks and hoods. . .So they don’t have to be held accountable for their actions. So they can blend back in with society and go get a job and work with or for people they hate without question.
@@antimediaman9354 You keep saying that, but I bet you have no idea which laws are being broken, if any. And I'm sure the Royal Navy was threatening protesters with punishment back in 1776, too. Sorry if you don't like it, but America is a nation founded on protest.
US corporations aren't paying enough in wages to their employees. Wages must be based on corporate profits of a company. Our government shouldn't be profiting subsidies to corporations who don't do employee profit sharing.
Mind Begs the Question: - Hitler alone engineered Holocaust - Media that drummed Nazi Propaganda - Corporates that funded Nazi State - Not complicit in Holocaust?
so you disagree,let me give a wordsoup for 3 minutes and see if you agree with me, another try and another, blaming him for being nasty. Marc Cuban will "for sure" hire them...

he may be a jerk to some but hes still boss to manny what you all missing is dont support hamas if you expect to have a job in america or canada you think hamas believes in human rights you all quick to scream my rights but you support a declared terrorist group you lack common sence
Nah theese entitled clowns won't have any boss who wants a bunch of entitled college kids wen most of the locals in the city of theese colleges hate their privalged guts!! Students are literally hated by the city where I live cuz of this same entitled attitude
I mean, they've jeopardized their chance of having a job... period. They sure won't be lawyers, ever. And McDonalds is replacing the fry cooks with AI/Robots.
'' 'Cause I'm the eye in the sky, looking at you-ou-ou, I can read your mind 'Cause I'm the eye in the sky, looking at you-ou-ou, I can cheat you blind.. '' 🎵
They key issue here is these demonstrators broke the law. This is no different than diving drunk or stealing money from your roommate. When it comes to hiring someone with a past that is tainted because you got involved in a demonstration where people were injured, and property was destroyed, you are at a grave disadvantage. Because there is someone out there that is just as smart and capable as you that doesn't have your baggage. Maybe he didn't go to an Ivy League school because his parents couldn't afford it (but that no longer provides the advantage that it once did.) And if you badmouth CEO's of major companies (like you just did on this venue) you won't get hired. The deep dive that Kevin was talking about will find you.
When England occupied our land, they said we broke the law, too. But we kicked their a.. out of our country. When black people tried to be free, the states said they broke the law. 95% of the students are highly educated students who are expressing their views when they saw women and children being slaughtered everyday. Those who break the law need consequences, but we can not trash the rest because of what a few do.
Funny how all these liberals talk about the harm of blackballing when they’ve been doing it for years. James Damore was fired from Google for merely suggesting there are reasons other than sexism for why men outnumber women in stem jobs. James Bennet, an editor for the New York Times, was fired for publishing an article that made supporters of BLM feel “unsafe.” The CEO of Boeing, Neil Golightly was forced to step down because someone dug up a sexist article he wrote 33-years ago. Leftists were silent then, and their defense was “private companies can do what they want.” Now they’re doing a 180-degree turn.
Disgusting. The arrogance and audacity to threaten and warn about young peoples’ futures - the corporate world worships money above all else and while they are financially wealthy, their moral bankruptcy is incredible. Life is NOT about making money. What an empty pitiful life to live. I feel sorry for anyone who believes that.
Righteous killing. The court ruled in his wife's favour. It is an offence to deliberately switch off your headlights while driving, especially when there are no city lights. The deceased had it coming
Not to stop students from attending class, not to vandalize and break into buildings, not to threaten people because of their religion or nationality and make them fear for their lives. Then the protesters deserve no mercy. No better than nazis on the march. And "constitutional right" LOL...when they burn the American flag? Imbeciles
Their constitutional right does NOT give them the right however to occupy and vandalize private property and fight with the police. Which is what he was arguing about and not about disagreeing with protests in general.

This is also true at universities. These colleges don’t care about free speech and haven’t since 2015. “Safety First” has been the approach of colleges, who bend to the whims of those most offended. In the University of California system, their microaggression training says “There is only one race, the human race” and “America is a land of opportunity” are microaggressions. MIT cancelled a climate lecture by scientist Dorian Abbot because a group of graduate students raised a fuss about one of his writings that dissent from DEI (and he was there to talk about climate change, not DEI). At Hamline University, a medieval art professor was fired for showing medieval art of the prophet Mohammed, even though they gave advance warning and opt-outs to those who might be offended. Same with a professor at St. John’s college who read the N-word in a Mark Twain book who got fired even after giving students warnings and opt outs. A young conservative named Kyle Kashuv was accepted to Harvard and then his offer was rescinded after they scrounged through his social media posts he made at age 16 that could be perceived as offensive to people of color. Also, Harvard makes students take trainings that call misgendering, fatphobia, and “cisheterosexism” abusive. And whenever conservative speakers come to campus, they are often assaulted (Michael Knowles assaulted with Lavender oil at UMKC) and professors at CSULA told Knowles his speech about the U.S. immigration system was a form of “violence.” If they want to be “safety first,” they have to do it for everyone, including Jews. Hopefully they will now wake up and allow free speech again.
They can peaceful protest but they don't have the right to set encampment at least campus they don't have the right to barricade themselves in a building they don't have the right to take down American flag replace it with another one
American 🇺🇲 FLAG is the only Flag allowed to fly in America 🇺🇲 as senile election Fraud Biden/ Harris n All college protestors all belong at Micky Ds🇺🇲
There is no such thing as AI retina identification from a general-purpose camera. Calling something "AI" does not magically exempt it from the limits of information theory.
Correct. Also 4K is not 1080p. Kevin must learn something before he talks about it. OTOH, Mark Cuban is 100% correct, business forgets that which is inconvenient.
Zionists Corporates can do nothing against Anti-Genocide Students and Protestors. When Corporates need employees, they put a price for competency, for integrity and for smart peoples. Corporates do not possess intelligence. Students have the intelligence, have the integrity, and humanity and can be hired worldwide.
the funny thing is those CEO's will probably vote and support Trump, while he tried to overthrow an election with his minions. But you cant be against genocide; that is just wrong
This is total bs. It's like 1984 intimidation. Being involved in protests is a right and indicates that people care. Of course there is a distinction for violent acts which are by far in the minority.
yeah u might be the biggest idiot out there. Go break a law and try to get a job, won't be easy. That's the situation these people are putting themselves in. Wouldn't be a problem if they would just peacefully protest!
The "all my developer friends commit fraud" guy? How sublimely lacking in self awareness, none of those students would want to work for him or his friends.
You know you’re living in an oligarchy when you have to weigh your first amendment rights, to say nothing of your responsibility to protect your fellow humans, against the possibility of corporate black listing.
Corporate America has invested trillions of dollar in other countries. They want compliant workers who don't complain about their wages and working conditions. Corporations and government want total control of your life meanwhile giving you nothing. Property rights have taken giant steps backwards. Starting a business in your home to avoid outrageous rents can get you into serious trouble with local government but lets remember its your property.
O'Leary's assumption is that anyone wants to work for American companies. The future is in self-employment with overseas contracts, not working for the O'Learys of the US.
Self employment only works if you have a skill to offer and other companies in other countries have the same policies why hire trouble makers when you can hire other who won’t be a problem at work supporting a terrorist group wo t get you hired at manny place your employment is limited
@@Hudsonrulez I sure am American and made my money in a maga state operating three small businesses throughout my life. I'm a rare example of Reagan's "bootstrapping" that worked.
The protestors are standing with Hamas who are committed to the genocide of Jews not only in Israel but around the world. It's stated right in the 1988 Hamas covenant.
@@Mister_B_5 Interesting how the same side that thinks that people shouldn't be allowed to protest also thinks that they have a God given 2nd amendment right to violently overthrow the government.
So the owner of a massive supercorp, is openly admitting that he and all the other big successful supercorps have access to this secret database where they’ve got almost immediate access to all of their employees deepest darkest secrets and we don’t want or value employees that stand on their principles? That sounds perfectly reasonable, I love living in an ignorant surveillance state 😃
These CEOs are living in a fool's paradise. Most of these student activists detest corporate America and Gov, so they wont even go for their jobs! The youth today won't be supressed or dictated by any of them!
@@GoshenOatleynot sure about America but in Australia we have jobs other than oil companies or fast food service. I’m a chartered accountant and run a business. I have kids and a mortgage. I went to many protests as an 18 year old. Good luck with your life. Sounds like you’re going to need it.
I don't agree with the protests but his comments must be taken seriously. These corporations refuse to pay adequate wages to American workers. Profit sharing must be mandatory instead of raising the min wage.
@@Kim-J312but they didn’t have that tech deployed out in the field during the protests. That’s what I’m saying. iPhones etc did not scan everyone’s retinas out there lol. Leary is reaching hardcore on that one. That might be the case in the near future, but not now
As a Jewish person who supports Israel and Jews in general- Oleary's dystopian message and world view is far more extreme and sickening than the protestors.
Wow, she's a very hostile interviewer who obviously doesn't like what he's saying, but, having been in the Fortune 500 world for three decades, he's just saying the truth, and what the students should be aware of.
Google photos uses eyes to identify someone in your gallery and puts them into one place where you can see them easily. It doesn't matter if the photos are years apart. So the employer will find out you were in a violent protests even ten years later
@@belgianbull4722 "No, but he is a Trump supporter. So there is hypocrisy there." Your claim lacks any factual backing and only fuels unnecessary conflict. Suggesting someone supports actions simply because of their political affiliation without solid proof is irresponsible and divisive. It's a baseless accusation and guilt by association.
@@antimediaman9354 No, but his argument was that protesters should never get a job again, but at the same time he is willing to vote for someone as president that is a criminal. And I understand Trump hasnt been convicted yet, but neither have the protesters. However, Trump calling a Georgia election official and threatening him to find a certain number of votes that is one more than Biden is criminal in my book.
How many times have I seen politician’s saying they protested . I have yet to meet any politician who admitted being on the wrong side of issues . Real courage is standing with the oppressed and the voiceless even when it is not popular do so.
Kevin literally says in this video that he himself uses this AI tech to vet executive candidates. He’s not just describing “what is” but is also endorsing it. The former is fine, but the latter is egregious.
They have no idea, but when you step back and look at it, their stupid acts today help sort them out from the more thoughtful potential employee. At least you know what you’re getting.
In global south nations, they can get better jobs. These anti war protesters are fulfilling their moral duty towards their democratic system. It’s a matter of time when parents around the country will be coming in streets. Are you going to take away their jobs?
If CEO's and bankers are against you ...? Sign me up! I'm going to start protesting. Listening to one of these grossly overpaid hypocrite CEO's try to preach someone a sermon made me sick at my stomach.
@@shoeman6966 That's nonsense. It is objectively false that you can do "retinal scanning" from a surveillance camera, for instance. It's generally not possible to search the dark web, so that's pretty dumb, too. The idea that employers are going to go looking at thousands of hours video to see if a candidate was involved in a protest is so stupid its genuinely asinine. This is just another rich pr&ck trying to scare the working class into shutting up and keeping our eyes on our shoes while we quietly do our jobs making them richer.
@@shoeman6966 ^ yes. What I sense here is some right wing CEOs in the oil and gas industry thought they could provide some general pressure. O'Leary starts out well by remaining objective, not pigeon holing students from University X because protests were held there. That's stupid, so he's right on with that. He did say later though that during his due diligence, if there's a social media trail out there about you, well, that's Republican 101. Personal responsibility for your actions. Well, unless you're a Republican doing bad stuff, then you'll be forgiven for pretty much anything.
Kevin is a businessman 1st and foremost. The amount of people who assault police and do things done at the campuses, are the minority of people. He simply sees the majority of non violent and lawful job seekers and is willing to invest in them and allow them to work for him. Do you honestly think he is going to lose sleep at night when dozens to hundreds of students violate the law when there are thousands who don't? Don't bet on it. Other ceo's will hire the students simply because they are using their views and identity to make them appear as sympathetic or support a cause. This is all about business. If tomorrow millions of americans decide in the next week to support azerbaijan muslim protests, i promise you there will be ceo's showing sympathy and support.
Wrong, you are either the one lying or you don’t know the facts of the case. The boat the O’Learys hit was out on a stargazing experience… and had none of their lights turned on. The accident was at 11:30pm when its pitch black outside especially on the water. That boat was nearly invisible to the O’Leary’s. This was PROVEN by security cameras on cottages offshore. You can like him or hate him I don’t care, but to bring up this terrible incident in the way you did is wrong.

@@kobman4159 Sorry to inject what you CLEARLY don't have & that's LOGIC! Reality can be a threat as well, if stated before you act! Ever heard of "If you do that I'll hit you"? A reality & a threat! Grow up!
@@fallonmassey4714 That's just victim mentality talking. Now, how about you stay on the point, instead of bringing up hypotheticals, philosophicals and "could be / should be's"? The guy was crystal clear: "If you're a trouble maker, I would not want to hire you". This is as "real life" as it gets. It was not a threat, just an appeal to one's basic common sense. "If you behave a certain way, there will be consequences to your actions". Sorry buddy, but you live in a society and nobody owes you anything. If you don't like it, you're welcome to work on your attitude, or live off the grid.
@@kobman4159 You're just like most non-thinking people, you make up stuff, believe it to be true, then make comments about what you just made up! Are so clueless that you don't understand that I NEVER said it's one or the other, it's BOTH! And yes, nobody owes you anything, in fact, you can't even EARN a job, ALL jobs are GIVEN! They pick what they don't like, but they're allowed to do that & they can employ whoever they want. My point is that just do it, why make threats, who cares except guys like you. If you have principles, you accept the consequences, no need for guys like you backing them up.
I said it many times and i'll say it again. I'm all for freedom of speech, but never when it's violent. when an individual is violent, they should be charged individually as they may not represent everyone.
CEOs have no moral standard, he’s just picked the right side to support his bank account. If it was going to earn him money supporting the protests, he would do it
as he stated, it's not morality, it's criminal actions. you're not being denied the job for protesting, you're denied cause you torched a cop car doing it.
@@Caerulosand everyone who participated January 6th? How about the baby rapists and murderers of the Vietnam war that still exist in MURIKKKAN society today? That’s ok, right?
@@Caerulos I fully agree that if you torched a car, committed violence, harassed someone, destroyed property,... that you should face the consequences. But those don't constitute the majority of arrests. And there is also the double standard were reporters are fired or actors blacklisted for merely criticizing Israel, while some in Congress have called for the total annihilation of the Palestinian people without getting the same criticism or backlash. I have seen it at my place of employment were criticizing Israel is majorly frowned upon while at the same time the dehumanization of Palestinians is encouraged. Millions of people are being silenced since they dont want to be pegged as anti semitic
As long as they are protesting peacefully and not spreading hate I would still hire these people. I would want people with passion in my workplace. Imo
Never let fear prevent you from speaking out. The truth always prevails over falsehood. Don't let them or anyone else scare you from standing up for what is right. They're merely trying to instill fear into us to try and prevent us from speaking out against evil, tyranny and injustice!
This is an interesting comment from Exxon Mobil. If they don’t want those negative attitudes then they don’t want MAGA people either….because they are the harassing type.
