President Donald Trump appointed Andy Puzder ambassador to the European Union this past week. But before he heads to Brussels, Puzder is warning about the left-wing scourge of stakeholder capitalism. As the former chief executive of CKE Restaurants, a major fast food corporation operating Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, Puzder knows what it takes to run a successful business. That's why he's so alarmed at the trends he's witnessing in corporate America. He spoke to The Daily Signal about his new book, “A Tyranny for the Good of its Victims: The Ugly Truth about Stakeholder Capitalism.” In this episode, we cover: • How BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street accumulated unprecedented control over U.S. corporations • The real meaning behind ESG policies and their impact on American business • Why major brands are adopting policies that seem to conflict with their customer base • The effectiveness of consumer boycotts against woke corporate policies • Capitalism's historic role in reducing global poverty Purchase your copy of “A Tyranny for the Good of Its Victims” on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4ayJ1gZ Keep Up With The Daily Signal Sign up for our email newsletters: https://www.dailysignal.com/email Subscribe to our other shows: The Tony Kinnett Cast: https://www.dailysignal.com/the-tony-kinnett-cast Problematic Women: https://www.dailysignal.com/problematic-women The Signal Sitdown: https://www.dailysignal.com/the-signal-sitdown Follow The Daily Signal: X: https://x.com/DailySignal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/ Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DailySignal Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheDailySignal Thanks for making The Daily Signal Podcast your trusted source for the day's top news.

Why are companies like Disney so intent on pushing the transgender agenda? The answer lies with a small, influential group of financial elites who have hijacked American institutions to impose harmful woke policies like ESG and DEI. But here's the good news: Americans are fighting back, rejecting these radical and unjust initiatives. Andy Puzder, former CEO of Hardee's and Carl's Jr. joins The Kevin Roberts Show to expose the dangers of stakeholder capitalism and its impact on our nation. About Andy: Andrew Puzder, former Chief Executive of CKE Restaurants and economic expert, is a Distinguished Visiting Fellow for business and economic freedom at The Heritage Foundation. Puzder began his career as a commercial trial lawyer in St. Louis in 1978 and later served as the personal attorney for entrepreneur Carl Karcher. He went on to become CEO of the well-known fast food powerhouses Carl's Jr. and Hardee's chains in 2000, expanding to 3,800 locations and leading the company out of serious financial difficulties. He has authored several books, including Job Creation: How It Really Works and Why Government Doesn't Understand It; The Capitalist Comeback: The Trump Boom and the Left's Plot to Stop It; Getting America Back to Work; It's Time to Let America Work Again; and A Tyranny for the Good of its Victims: The Ugly Truth about Stakeholder Capitalism. Earlier in his career, Mr. Puzder was a commercial trial lawyer in St. Louis. He authored legislation in Missouri—acknowledging that life begins at conception and granting unborn children rights in contexts other than abortion (such as criminal, tort, and inheritance laws)—which the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in Webster v. Reproductive Health Services in 1989.
Dom welcomes Andrew Puzder, former CEO of CKE Restaurants, which owns Hardees and Carl's Jr., back onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear his thoughts on Trump's economic policy. Trump, who's giving an economic address at the New York Economic Club, has shown positivity toward tariffs, something Dom disagrees with, causing him to ask Puzder to tell when and where tariffs do indeed help domestic economic failures. Then, Dom and Puzder delve into other economic issues, including tax rates and other edicts Trump promotes that will indeed help to right a tough economy.

Andy Puzder joined us at Freedom Fest to discuss the minimum wage, small business regulations, his withdrawal from Labor Secretary and the poignant discussion he had with Mike Pence, and his last marketing effort at Carls Jr, creating possibly one of the greatest commercials in modern times.In February 2017, fast-food executive Andy Puzder withdrew his nomination to be Labor Secretary as the White House realized the CEO of CKE Restaurants would go down in defeat due to infighting even on the Republican side of Congress. Only a couple of days following the termination of Mike Flynn, seeing one of President Trump’s cabinet picks walking away was a victory for Democrats, unions and liberal groups. New York Times attacked Mr. Puzder's business record and, more importantly to Andy, his character. Mr. Puzder said his treatment had been “an unprecedented smear campaign.” Democrats vocally lauded Mr. Puzder’s withdrawal as "a victory for working Americans". Conservatives were dismayed as Mr. Puzder, while running both Carls Jr. and Hardees staunchly opposed the Affordable Care Act, spoke out against the Progressive's effort to increase the minimum wage to $15 and overtime rules. The unions despised his policies and made it personal.Andy can be found on Twitter and his book Job Creation: How it Really Works and Why Government Doesn't Understand It on Amazon.

Puzder withdraws his name from consideration for Labor Secretary. Was reported that as many as 12 Republicans were prepared to oppose his nomination. A list of concerns. Employing an illegal alien should have won him the support of Democrats who support sanctuary cities. WSJ reports that intelligence community withholding information from Trump because of fear of leaks. California CHIP/Medicaid enrollment. Hillary gets standing ovation. I'm still hoping for her to launch that much anticipated talk show.

Nice questions! Leaks are bad! And illegal! Investigate the leaks! Paul Ryan! Mr. Limpet calming fish! Dead North Korean dictator brother! Andrew Puzder withdraws his nomination! I guess it's back to Hardee's for Puzder! Oprah dropped off a tape! Navy Seal Harward turns down offer as Flynn replacement! Trump meets with Netanyahu! Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus are friends! Get Fox News alerts on your phone! And most importantly: "Thunder Island" is the lead single off of the album Thunder Island by American musician Jay Ferguson. The song reached #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978. Despite the song's high position on the music charts, the song today is rarely heard on classic rock radio stations. The recording features Joe Walsh on guitar. It appears in the 2013 film Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and the 2004 film Miracle. As this was Ferguson's highest-ranking song on the charts, he is sometimes tagged a one-hit wonder- however, he achieved an additional hit with the song "Shakedown Cruise" in 1979, which reached #31 on the Hot 100.
