activist investor carl icahn firing back at e-bay once again today. oins us exclusively on the fast line. carl, welcome back to the halftime show. >> thank you. >> there's been such a flurry of activity between you and e-bay. it's almost hard to keep it straight, but there's even more today. the latest news being that e-bay has rejected two nominees to the board, right? in which they say they gave serious consideration to that, but they concluded that they are not qualified candidates based on the criteria that have consistently been applied by the committee. your response initially to that? >> my response is i didn't hear those words before, but my response would be, well, what qualifies you to be a crony of donohoe and allow him to take $4 billion? in one way or another sell skype and lose $4 billion to also allow the kinetics deal go through and have a record extremely poor with amazon and visa. this company is the quintessential example of what's wrong with governance of corporate america. i mean, if you say we're not qualified, you look at all the

the stock took a big dive as a result of and now this is a carl icahn coming in with his counterpunch big deal that they are now looking into it. why would carl make this move now? if he gets three more seats does he have much more control over the company? and why would they be willing to give it to him? is he essentially their knight in shining armor at this point? he has come out in defense of the company very strongly. he has taken the largest position the company, almost 17%. board,has people on the on the one hand the company has to be very careful in how it responds to these allegations. they need to make sure they keep their eye on the ball. he will now have more seats to do that. and of course, the company has to figure out exactly how to --pond to those who in the who launched the investigation. for a while people were wondering if carl icahn was going to try to take the company public. >> or private. you just take it out, and then call it a day. >> writes. >> do you think there is a possibility of that? that was the first thing that i would have thought this morning, when h

the tactics of carl icahn are ridiculous. you could rebrand the company. help clarify the employees of their priorities. >> they have done that at some of the buildings already. >> they have completely dropped the ebay name and that would help a lot to start stop you could do that tomorrow. then conduct the analysis of what are the economics and return on capital and how does it help with recruiting? >> what do you think of the tactics so far? ebay is fighting back and it has gotten nasty. >> i think the tactics are ridiculous but i also wonder why ebay is spending so much time and effort responding. it's like the shakespeare line -- "the lady doth protest too much." well.as performed john has grown the company well. the market reflects that. it would be difficult for him to get any real traction, so i would put it off on the side. that an is the argument ebay free and alone out of the world could be gobbled up by google or paypal could damage ebay. that is sonse to what? if that's what the world wants, the shareholders are driving this thing. if they can

>> i don't like carl icahn in general. this guy is a pie rate and mercenary by any other name means the same. i love how the media portrayed this guy as uncle carl. >> i made that up. i made that up. melissa: media. we're always to blame. >> make it like brand x at cnbc. melissa: i'm not familiar with that company. go ahead, lee. >> here is what i think investors have to remember. whatever carl icahn is doing the same thing he did as corporate raider before he became shareholder activist. he is going in there to push around ceos to do things for short-term profit. that doesn't help investors long term. also media gives perception whatever uncle carl is doing we should doing that with our retirement funds. >> i wish you would stop saying media. melissa: go ahead, charlie. >> i want credit for that. i should have trademarked that. i should have trademarked comrade bill de blasio. what is good about this, i came up with that one too. what i think is fascinating about carl icahn on this, he does do a public service. he tells us

>> carl icahn has gotten very personal, and ebay is fighting back.gotten nasty, and quite different from carl icahn previous spars with apple and netflix. >> i think the tactics are ridiculous. i wonder why they are spending so much time and effort responding. methinks the lady. retouched too much -- to test too much -- pr otest too much. it would be very difficult for them to get any real traction for so i would just edit off on the side rather than continuing to spar. >> there is the argument that ebay, free and alone out in the world might become -- taken over by a competitor that could do damage to even. -- ebay. that is sonse to what? if the world wants it, the shareholders are driving this thing. if in fact they can create more value short shareholders by splitting it and potentially someone looking at one part of it and saying i'm going to acquire that. so be it. that happens all the time. course.re take its >> society is the former shareholder value is important. is what analysis is for. or try to get a good handle on where these p/e ratios w

well, i think carl icahn was very late to the party on this. because the issue of the pile of cash was under discussion two years ago when the company first set out its plans. since then the pile of cash has gotten bigger, and that's a problem that you want to have. you remember last year another hedge fund took a pill to apple on the same issue. he didn't make much of a move forward from it. and apple has done the right thing. it's kept to its plans, communicated what it's doing, committed to $100 billion to be returned to shareholders. and it's going to review those numbers in march and april. and we're satisfied that that's a sensible course of action. we don't want rash decisions made in the heat of a dispute with a short-term activist. that's not sensible. >> all right. we're going to have to leave it there. thank you so much, ann simpson with calpers. >>> and coming up on the program, the hollywood business model is changing from the way films are financed to where they're produced. but as tinseltown gets ready to host the oscars can the

let's start off with carl icahn. >> the book actually opens with carl icahn, because he and dan loeba duel over to penthouses that they both wanted to combine and -- both wanted to buy and combine into this largest and house in the building. only carl icahn wanted to bargain. and dan loeb write a check. when carl icahn found out that dan loeb had beaten him, he let loose with one of the ethically -- with an epic tirade on one of the developers, cussing as if he was in vietnam in 1968. >> let's move on. denzel washington, a hollywood actor. >> he is one of the poor people in the building. his apartment only cost $13 million. and he only -- and he got a discount, because with a nod and wink, he allow the developers to say that he bought an apartment in the building, which was one of the big turning point. new york is always about co-op apartments. co-ops or clubs that don't just let anybody in. and when you come down to who is the worst, people of color and actors. they announced to the world this building is different by announcing denzel washington had brought an apartment. >> and it

in fact, carl icahn is going after e-bay right now. e-bay's had a 465% return to shareholders in the last five years, tyler. and he's attacking some of america's best companies. yes, corporations need to make sound capital decisions. they need to decide how much for growth, how much for acquisitions, how much are they going to return to shareholders and dividends. these are capital structure questions. i think they're sound we got too far that way in 2008 and that led to the financial crisis. banks didn't have enough capital to keep them going. so i think the carl icahns of the world are just looking for a short-term hit. he's not concerned about the long term growth of e-bay. i'll tell you with the moves that google and facebook are making, unless e-bay continues under john donahoe, continues to invest and build their platform with pay pal and other aspects, they're not going to be as competitive in the global market. that's what we in america need. great global companies going after the global markets, like pepsico is doing, like coc

john donahoe is saying carl icahn's campaign to get the company to split off paypal will only get louderay and icahn have been sparring sometimes on a daily basis when icahn went public with this message. the board believes paypal works best when it's integrated with ebay's core marketplace business. >> our customers want seamless experiences. customers don't think about shopping and paying as two separate things. the noise is going to get louder over the next four to six to eight weeks. don't pay attention to the noise. stay focused. and don't be distracted. >> certainly not just talking to employees. they are addressing shareholders, i would imagine. icahn owns just over 2% of ebay. earlier this week, smead capital, which owns less than 1% spoke out in support of management's view that paypal should stay in the fold. those shares are flat to the downside. it's going be a very, very busy shareholder season this year with these activists investors making so much noise. the interesting thing about ebay, guys, is that it used to be that pay pal was fast growing, ebay was slower. now ebay i

carl icahn is not exact -- not agnostic when it comes to the future. why does he believe that a pal is worth more spun off from ebay? >> you can add the notion that this is a hot space so there is some silly valuations going on for players who are nascent. they have a better chance of attracting such a valuation. what is interesting is ebay looks at this business as not just something they like as a stand-alone business but also something they like to protect ebay itself. you mean, protect ebay itself, protected from what? >> it is -- paypal has been the dominant form of payment on ebay. since long before ebay owned the company. when it was a money loan -- losing complete run by a handful of people, some notable people like reid hoffman and peter teal , elon musk gets credit for running paypal. it was losing boatloads of money. it was successful but losing a ton of money. ebay acquired it because their own payment solution was feeling with customers and they recognized if they wanted -- ebay wants to control the payment on ebay, they could not let a co
