Vivek Ramaswamy's Anti-ESG Firm and the Great Reset Connection
Showing 6 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Environmental, Social, and Governance investing standards surface here mainly through Vivek Ramaswamy's own account of founding Strive, an investment firm built explicitly to counter what he calls ESG-driven Wall Street activism, discussed in a wide-ranging interview with John Stossel covering his broader case against corporate wokeness and his presidential campaign platform. Ramaswamy described facing direct corporate pressure over his handling of Black Lives Matter-era messaging before deciding to build an alternative model rather than continue operating inside the existing ESG framework. A separate strand of this material connects ESG more broadly to Klaus Schwab's Great Reset agenda, discussed by Kirk at a church event in explicitly theological terms as one component of a coordinated push toward centralized global governance that a hosting pastor connected directly to the Book of Revelation's end-times prophecy. Dr. James Lindsay extended a related but more secular critique in a separate conversation with Kirk and Breitbart's Alex Marlow, tracing ESG's social-credit-style mechanisms back through a century of Marxist theory about institutional capture, alongside critical race theory and social-emotional learning in schools. A separate campus debate with a self-described socialist student addressed government power and centralized authority generally, without engaging ESG as a distinct topic.
