Episode 161: "Whose Interest Does Big Business Serve?" with Justin Danhof and Matt Schlapp

In the past decade, America's big businesses have increasingly moved to the political left. For evidence, take a look at their actions and stances on critical race theory indoctrination, vaccine mandates, radical climate change agendas, boardroom "diversity", doing business and making common cause with a hostile China, etc … on issue after issue they align with the "woke" left. Now even the Federal Reserve and the Securities Exchange Commission are weighing in to support these agendas. What does this mean for ordinary Americans, and what can be done to push back? Joining me to explore this are: Matt Schlapp, Chairman of the American Conservative Union, which sponsors CPAC, founder of Cove Strategy, and long time advisor to major corporations, and Justin Danhof, Executive Vice President of the National Center for Public Policy, who has been waging a courageous battle against creeping corporate socialism for years. If you feel like American lovers of liberty are fighting against mounting odds, you are right. Even the big money management firms like Blackrock and Vanguard are pushing the left's agenda. Whether cynics, or true believers, they are putting their agenda ahead of investors as you will learn as we explore the dirty little secret of "ESG" investing. Also in this episode: Ford Foundation's backing Black Lives Matter, the "degrowth" people behind the climate change agenda, shareholder proposals that have nothing to do with companies … and other alarming things that you need to know about. There's a lot to unpack here, and Justin and Matt are outstanding guides to this terrain. We offer several lines of action. We can push back and must.
