Scott talks with Tommy Salmons about the threat that the push for so-called Environmental, Social Governance (ESG) poses to our liberties. Salmons has dug deep into what ESG really is and who is behind it. He goes through what he’s found. He and Scott then zoom out and look at how this all fits into the broader political moment we found ourselves in. That leads to a discussion of Robert Kennedy Jr.’s run for President. 

Discussed on the show:

• “‘ESG,’ the Threat to Liberty You Haven’t Heard Of” (Libertarian Institute)
• “Who Cares Wins” (UN)
• Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins
• Suicide of the West by James Burnham
• RFK Jr.: The Reason Interview
