I'm willing to take the heat.

We're not going to do this.

Get rid of it.

And that's the kind of decisive action that was required.

And my suspicion is that the president, if this were put on his desk, he would be shocked and he would ask his people, why haven't we gotten rid of this already?

And look, I think it is totally defensible legally, totally defensible politically, and most important, totally defensible morally.

We can either have a colorblind country where everyone is treated equally, or we can have a racial hierarchy where people are treated unequally according to their race.

I'm not about that.

I think we have to stop.

That's exactly right.

It's been an about face from Larry Fink.

So look, after 2020, Larry Fink, he was wealthy, but he wanted to become famous.

He wanted to be beloved in international circles, business circles, philanthropic circles.

And so he became really the poster boy of DEI and ESG.

But, you know, he took a beating for these once the kind of

woke hysteria started to subside once it was really demonstrated that these are forms of corruption and discrimination.

And from some sources that are even within my network in corporate America, what happened is that when Larry Fink started to realize that this was making him unpopular, he instructed people within the firm to quietly wind down some of these ESG programs and to rehabilitate his image.

And so he has reemerged after 10 years of woke.

as a kind of neutral, corporate, non-ideological figure.

I think it was phony then, I think it's phony now.
