On this week's podcast: When we interviewed Stephen Soukup in podcast 179, Jacinda Ardern still “had gas in the tank”, and Labour still had high hopes for this years election. Soukup's book “The Dictatorship of Woke Capital; How Political Correctness Captured Big Business” exposed the absurdities adopted by many international and local companies to the detriment of investors and customers alike. Soukup's revelations could well benefit this years election. File your comments and complaints at Leighton@newstalkzb.co.nz Haven't listened to a podcast before? Check out our simple how-to guide.

Stephen Soukup joins us this week to discuss the newly released paperback edition of his book The Dictatorship of Woke Capital, which explores how Wall Street and corporate investing has gone woke on issues like ESG. We discuss the evolution of American business and the economic philosophies that shaped the push for woke capitalism, the players advocating for investing based on social issues, and proposed regulations and legislation that could undermine investments in politically incorrect companies and industries.
Stephen Soukup is the leading intellectual critic of the "Woke Capitalism" movement, including its stakeholder capitalism and ESG investing elements. He talks with Meeting of Minds about his book, The Dictatorship of Woke Capital (Stephen R. Soukup - Encounter Books), and the intellectual and spiritual roots of that movement. Soukup's historical research reveals how intellectual elites built governance structures intentionally designed to minimize the ability of citizens to use their voting authority to determine policy, and how those insulated power structures which they built were captured by cultural revolutionaries. His research can be found at Home - Woke Capital.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We've discussed “woke capital” on the podcast before with author Stephen Soukup and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. But now we turn to a related topic: Environmental, Social, and Governance — "ESG” – investing. ESG strategies adopted by fund managers—perhaps most notably BlackRock—can place left-of-center social policy goals as equal considerations with investors' returns in investing decisions. Making matters worse, some state pension funds are following ESG strategies that would leave taxpayers on the hook if trendy liberal activism cost the funds the returns they need to pay their obligations. Other states—most notably West Virginia and Florida—are taking action to prevent their state funds from engaging in ESG investing. Joining me to make sense of it all and to explore what can be done about it is Lee Schalk, Vice President of Policy at the American Legislative Exchange Council.

Last year, we had author Stephen Soukup on the podcast to discuss his book The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business. In recent months, “woke capital” has taken a few major hits: heterodox billionaire Elon Musk has bid to purchase Twitter with a promise to expand free speech on the platform, Florida's state government responded to an intervention in social policy by Disney by stripping it of a special local governance privilege, and Netflix all but told “woke” employees that if they didn't like the company's producing content they disagreed with, they could take a hike. We welcome Stephen back to discuss where woke capital is, where he sees it going, and whether this pushback is the start of a trend.

Members of the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign have been issued trial subpoenas from special counsel John Durham—along with subpoenas for the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Fusion GPS, and Perkins Coie. As the case unfolds into how Democrat officials paid for and spread disinformation against Trump to influence the 2016 election, questions are growing on how much was done unaware, and how much was intentional. Meanwhile, Disney's stocks have fallen more than 31 percent after it got into conflict with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over his Parental Rights in Education bill, which bans the instruction of sexual orientation or gender identity to children from kindergarten to third grade and requires age-appropriate content on sexual issues. To discuss the fallout Disney has faced, we've invited special guest Stephen Soukup, author of “The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business.” And in other news, Elon Musk's bid to purchase Twitter for $44 billion has been approved, and the billionaire Tesla CEO is pleading to open the platform to free speech. As this happens, however, the European Union is passing new laws to regulate online content, under the banner of fighting what it deems as disinformation and propaganda. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp, we'll discuss these stories and others, and answer questions from the audience. ⭕️ Stay up-to-date with Josh with the Crossroads NEWSLETTER

Please join us for the latest installment in our Talks with Authors Series, in which author Stephen Soukup sits down for an interview with Eileen O'Connor about his book The Dictatorship of Woke Capital. Perhaps you recall learning that the obligation of a corporation is to maximize profits, thus preserving and increasing shareholder value. Perhaps you even thought that was still a top priority of corporate executives. But more likely, if you hadn't been aware of it already, it came to your attention during the last year or two that corporations were inserting themselves into public policy debates, and making decisions about where and how to operate based on considerations far removed from their businesses. In The Dictatorship of Woke Capital, Stephen Soukup describes how the focus of corporate attention went from shareholder value to woke capital. He takes us step by step through the evolution, from its beginning. He identifies the people and groups who have played and continue to play a major role in the development of woke capital. Published by Encounter Books, The Dictatorship of Woke Capital is available at its website, as well as Scribd, Amazon, and wherever books are sold.Featuring:-- Stephen Soukup, Author, The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business -- Interviewer: Hon.

For the better part of a century, the Left has been waging a methodical - and largely successful - war to control American institutions. Our universities, K-12 education, the news media, Hollywood, federal government bureaucracies … to name just a few … have all fallen victim to what the Left calls their “long march.” During most of that time American business and the military escaped infiltration and indoctrination. But now this has begun to change - and dramatically. In this episode we look at business and The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business with author Stephen Soukup. With stunning speed most of the elites running technology companies, banks, Wall Street investment managers and consumer product companies like Coca Cola and Nike have embraced “woke capitalism.” What's angers the most is the arrogance of those running our biggest companies. Stephen terms them “Gnostics” who “believe they have the secret to attaining heaven on earth, and that if we'll all just shut up and follow them, that in the long run, they'll take care of everything for us.” For example, they've drunk the climate change and stakeholder capitalism kool-aide so deeply, that we're now seeing our biggest investment firms voting to elect three new directors to the Board of Exxon who don't think it should be in the fossil fuel business. This story will not end well. The battle to bring these companies back to the business of simply running their business is not over, but it hangs in the balance. Listen in to learn what's at stake and what you can do about it.
For the better part of a century, the Left has been waging a slow, methodical battle for control of the institutions of Western civilization. During most of that time, “business”― and American Big Business, in particular ― remained the last redoubt for those who believe in free people, free markets, and the criticality of private property. Over the past two decades, however, that has changed, and the Left has taken its long march to the last remaining non-Leftist institution. Over the course of the past two years or so, a small handful of politicians on the Right ― Senators Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, and Josh Hawley, to name three ― have begun to sense that something is wrong with American business and have sought to identify the problem and offer solutions to rectify it. While the attention of high-profile politicians to the issue is welcome, to date the solutions they have proposed are inadequate, for a variety of reasons, including a failure to grasp the scope of the problem, failure to understand the mechanisms of corporate governance, and an overreliance on state-imposed, top-down solutions. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the problem and the players involved, both on the aggressive, hardcharging Left and in the nascent conservative resistance. It explains what the Left is doing and how and why the Right must be prepared and willing to fight back to save this critical aspect of American culture from becoming another, more economically powerful version of the “woke” college campus.
