E11: E11: Hannah Cox on the harm of woke capitalism, Ted Cruz's new confession & cronyism in Congress

Does woke capitalism help or hurt a company's bottom line? Do we even have true capitalism or free markets anymore? On "Right Now with Stephen Kent," Stephen sits down with Shoshana Weissmann and Hannah Cox of the Foundation for Economic Education for a discussion about woke capitalism, if it works, and if it's here to stay. Listen as they discuss how to identify if a brand's political standpoints are authentic or mere performance activism, why we need to chill out over the tech monopoly fearmongering, and how we can work to keep cronyism out of Congress.
