| [NYP with Jesse Waters] Woke governance that has sent profits spiraling at companies like Anheuser-Busch and Target often begins with lefty investment firms pressuring them to push products their way, an ex-top Anheuser-Busch exec said. During an appearance on Fox News’ "Jesse Watters Primetime," Anson Frericks said behind-the-scenes politicking from firms like New York-based BlackRock and Pennsylvania-based Vanguard spur many of the controversial decisions sparking nationwide boycotts from longtime more conservative customers — such as the ill-fated Bud Light promotion with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney He said BlackRock, Vanguard, and another firm, State Street, manage about $20 trillion in capital and use their clout to promote agenda politics being pushed on them by progressive lawmakers overseeing government pension funds that the companies profit from. |

| #5 Funny. All these DEI experts weren’t worried about the low score of Epstein’s employees when they visited his island. It was Snow White, Cinderella and the original Ariel. There wasn’t any Jasmine, Lilo, Mulan, Tiana or Dylan on the payroll. I think The View ought to do a segment on that hypocrisy. |

| #2 The urban left has been working on this for fifty years. The Rural Purge was a trial balloon. When CBS didn't go bankrupt, they knew they could get away with anything. We are at the end of a different long march. |
