<p>Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis">Ron DeSantis</a> (R-FL) announced new actions this week that his administration is taking to protect the state of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida">Florida</a> from environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) influence.</p>
<p>DeSantis told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that ESG was really a way for “these kind of masters of the universe” to achieve “through economic power what they cannot achieve at the ballot box,” and that he intends to put a stop to it.</p>
<p>“First, we&#8217;re going to do through Florida&#8217;s state pension system a flat ban on any type of ESG. And, as you say, they like to wiggle around. It&#8217;s basically a way for them to do politics,” DeSantis said. “So, we&#8217;re going to make sure that fiduciary duty is defined very clearly and that they stick to that.”</p>
<p>We &#8220;also want to provide protections for people in the financial marketplace from being discriminated against based on ideology. I mean, we have seen Wall Street banks discriminate against contractors who are involved in helping us against illegal immigration or against firearm manufacturers, things they don&#8217;t like,&#8221; DeSantis continued. &#8220;And it&#8217;s really an end-run around democracy, where they&#8217;re trying to impose these things. And, here in Florida, I want to be governed by the values of Destin [city in Florida], not the values of Davos.&#8221;</p>
<p>DeSantis said that &#8220;woke employees&#8221; inside companies are pushing ESG, which essentially amounts to inmates running the asylum.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do think there&#8217;s some of these CEOs, Tucker, who really like to exert power over the rest of us. And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing. It&#8217;ll be a disaster for our economy, of course, with [what] we have seen with the energy. But to have the economy politicized this way, that&#8217;s a recipe for disaster,&#8221; DeSantis continued. &#8220;But then, also, it takes power away from the American people and lodges it into these international corporate titans. And that&#8217;s not, I think, what our Founding Fathers ever intended.&#8221;</p>
<p>DeSantis added that he believes that other states will follow what he is doing in Florida and that he wants to get other conservative states to come together and form a voting bloc to amplify their combined power.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, I would urge all my fellow governors around the country, hell, Republican or Democrat, let&#8217;s band together and let&#8217;s fight back against this, so we can keep power to the people,&#8221; DeSantis continued.</p>
