the left goes corporate that's the focus
[2]
of tonight's angle
[6]
environmental
[7]
social
[9]
governance
[10]
well the acronym esg is a classification
[13]
and rating system that globalists are
[15]
now using to pressure american companies
[18]
into adopting progressive practices at
[21]
every level of their operations
[23]
and like so many really bad ideas it of
[26]
course originated at the united nations
[30]
now for years they've aggressively
[31]
marketed the concept as good for
[33]
companies good for you and good for the
[36]
planet
[37]
esg propaganda even comes in the form of
[40]
really creepy videos
[42]
asset managers who embrace the
[44]
principles for responsible investment
[46]
undertake to incorporate esg issues into
[50]
all investment analysis and
[52]
decision-making processes
[54]
be active owners and incorporate esg
[57]
issues into their ownership policies and
[59]
practices
[61]
doesn't it sound great kids well
[63]
basically think of those behind the esg
[65]
movement as the self-appointed thought
[68]
and governance police for corporate
[69]
america
[71]
so companies not on the s p 500 esg
[74]
index
[75]
are punished by institutional investors
[77]
and asset managers who themselves are
[80]
pressured to drop offending companies
[82]
from their mutual funds or their
[84]
pensions
[85]
now one of the biggest promoters of esg
[88]
is a guy named larry fink the ceo of
[90]
blackrock
[91]
blackrock is the world's largest asset
[93]
manager and this means one company has
[97]
an enormous amount of leverage to force
[99]
other companies to go woke if they want
[102]
to have the highest performing
[104]
stock in their industry i think what i'm
[107]
requesting them is
[109]
is what i see from what where our
[112]
clients money's going so if they don't
[115]
choose to do this
[116]
i think you're going to start seeing
[118]
some of these companies having lower
[120]
performing companies if you're going to
[122]
have a high performing
[124]
stock over a long period of time
[127]
you need to be doing this and blackrock
[130]
is doing it on b doing this for
[131]
ourselves on behalf of our shareholders
[134]
we're doing this this on behalf of our
[136]
employees and our clients how benevolent
[139]
what a humanitarian
[141]
larry fink will help the world fight
[143]
against pollution and climate change
[146]
human rights abuses and mean bosses
[150]
uh except
[151]
in the place where all of that is
[153]
rampant
[154]
china
[155]
blackrock is heavily invested there
[158]
which means it operates with the
[159]
permission of its communist party
[162]
now larry might want to check out the
[164]
new trove of documents detailing the
[166]
horrifying abuses against uighur muslims
[169]
at chinese detention camps going back to
[171]
2018
[173]
but i guess that's not going to stop the
[175]
blackrock china bond fund or any of
[178]
their other chinese ventures
[180]
blackrock is heavily heavily entrenched
[183]
there and their investments are only
[185]
going to get bigger
[186]
as usual with these self-appointed
[188]
guardians of climate hypocrisy and
[191]
double standards are always bubbling
[193]
right below the surface
[195]
and ditto for their political allies and
[197]
government who of course they love this
[199]
esg stuff
[201]
but what everyone needs to know
[204]
is that esg scores
[206]
are based on a set of totally arbitrary
[209]
arbitrary standards
[210]
and they actually could end up
[212]
kneecapping great american companies
[214]
almost overnight
[216]
now not surprisingly elon musk saw right
[219]
through the esg scam pretty much from
[221]
the beginning
[222]
and now that tesla was just booted from
[224]
the esg index while exxon stayed on
[228]
musk's really on the war path
[231]
exxon is rated top 10 best in the world
[233]
for environment social and governance
[235]
by s p 500 while tesla didn't make the
[237]
list esg is a scam it's been weaponized
[240]
by phony social justice warriors he
[242]
tweeted
[244]
of course he's right
[245]
and the exclusion has only worsened
[248]
tesla's stock drop which has tumbled
[250]
approximately 28 percent
[252]
in just the past six weeks alone
[255]
so brushing aside the political
[257]
motivation here margaret dorne who's s p
[260]
dow jones is head of esg indices
[263]
she tries to justify tesla's score by
[265]
citing claims of racial discrimination
[268]
and poor working conditions made against
[270]
its fremont california factory and its
[273]
response to vehicles autopilot crashes
[276]
well
[278]
the more amorphous and ambiguous esg
[281]
standards are
[283]
the more room to act your political
[284]
enemies right and reward your friends
[287]
even esg proponents like dustin lance
[290]
senior advisor at esg global advisors
[293]
concedes that clear metrics are a real
[296]
problem here he cites several factors
[298]
including a confusing lexicon of
[300]
categories and taxonomies and acronyms
[303]
which have evolved over several years
[305]
but lance thinks that es genius needs
[307]
better marketing wait a marketing
[310]
problem that's like saying biden's
[312]
economy is caused by a marketing problem
[314]
no it's just bad policies
[316]
so given the blowback that we saw
[318]
against disney for its esg inspired
[321]
moves against florida parents and then
[323]
you know musk's complaints and his reach
[325]
i think the esg crowd they know that
[328]
we're on to them and their defense is
[330]
pathetic
[331]
dustin lance tweeted esg is rapidly
[334]
becoming politicized and it's now
[336]
heavily exposed to disinformation risks
[338]
incorporating esg factors into business
[340]
and investment decisions is not about
[342]
political views it's about driving
[344]
long-term value for shareholders and
[347]
stakeholders i'll give you a translation
[349]
here
[350]
capitalism made america too rich it's
[353]
time to change that and esg can help
[356]
level the playing field got it
[359]
now musk himself is too powerful to
[361]
silence but they're going to try
[363]
other powerful interests will rise up to
[365]
protect the woke agenda of esg by urging
[368]
social media censorship of their
[370]
detractors of course
[372]
and that's taking a page from the covid
[374]
police's playbook after all and look
[376]
they're going to cite overriding health
[378]
and safety concerns i don't put anything
[380]
past these people
[382]
by the way this is all the rage at davos
[384]
of course
[386]
we are finding ourselves in a place
[388]
where we're we have increasing
[390]
polarization everywhere and everything
[393]
feels binary when it doesn't need to be
[395]
so i think we're going to have to think
[397]
about a recalibration of a whole range
[399]
of human rights that are playing out
[400]
online you know from freedom of speech
[403]
to the freedom to
[404]
you know to be free from online violence
[409]
of course this is music to china's ears
[411]
because the elites have finally come
[412]
around to the value of suppressing
[414]
speech
[415]
of intimidation tactics implicit threats
[418]
we'll shut you down and the use of broad
[420]
generalities and also a fantasy of a
[423]
carbon neutral world
[425]
for the syst the world to reach um
[429]
the world to reach
[431]
this
[433]
zero
[434]
net
[435]
zero
[436]
carbon
[438]
world
[439]
we're going to have to invest
[441]
estimates more than 50 trillion dollars
[443]
into new technologies
[445]
i think you get it right that the entire
[447]
esg movement it's just another way to
[450]
circumnavigate around the american
[452]
voters
[453]
greening the planet it's going to make
[454]
people like larry fink and his friends
[456]
richer but it's not going to mean a
[458]
freer and more prosperous america for
[459]
the average person no way
[462]
so musk and other corporate leaders must
[464]
band together
[465]
have the courage to stand up to the woke
[467]
bullies of blackrock and call out the
[469]
global elites for the frauds that they
[471]
are
[472]
