BlackRock CEO Larry Fink discusses the shifting societal views on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives. When asked by Bret Baier if the "woke era" was a failed experiment, Fink explains that society's pendulum moves, and five years ago, it went "too far." He states that BlackRock is now responsible for managing money for everybody and that his current pragmatic stance reflects what they are hearing from their clients.
