Summary

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://bit.ly/3KrWbS8 Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Derek Kreifels discuss the primary role of the state treasurer and why now, with the onslaught of ESG's and anti-fossil fuel divesting, more than ever their stewardship is so important. Derek Kreifels is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of the State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF), the only nonprofit in the U.S. that combines ground-breaking free-market research with a strong network of states’ treasurers, auditors, and other financial officers, to actively sustain the health of each state’s economic outlook. Before co-founding SFOF in 2012, Kreifels spent five years as Assistant State Treasurer of Kansas, where he oversaw the state’s college savings plan, ABLE plan, debt and bond management, and pension investments. During his tenure, his office processed over $21B annually, and he managed 42 employees with an annual budget of over $3.5M. - Sponsors - ExpressVPN: Get 3 Months FREE of ExpressVPN - https://expressvpn.com/jordan Genucel: Use code "JORDAN" at checkout for additional savings on your entire purchase! https://genucel.com/jordan - Links - For Derek Kreifels and SFOF: SFOF website: sfof.com SFOF Twitter: https://twitter.com/SFOF_States SFOF Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/statefinancialofficers ESG's Explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4XmzYj9cEY Our Money, Our Values website: https://ourmoneyourvalues.com/

0:00.0	Hello everyone, so I'm talking today with Derek Krifeldt, who is CEO of the State Financial
0:21.6	Officers Foundation, and normally perhaps under normal conditions that might not be
0:28.3	an, um, something notable for all concerned, but in the crazy upside down clown world that we
0:34.5	all currently inhabit, this has become incredibly relevant. So I met Derek a couple of days ago,
0:39.8	although I've been retweeting a lot of what he's been putting out on Twitter for quite a while,
0:44.5	and I wanted to talk to him today so that everybody watching and listening can be brought up today
0:52.4	about what's going on on the financial front in relationship to states and their investment strategies.
1:00.6	So Derek, let's start with a little bit about your background and about your situation,
1:05.6	your position right now, and then we'll talk in some detail about exactly what it is that you're
1:10.3	doing with the other state financial officers. So, um, who are you?
1:15.5	Uh, well, thank you for the opportunity to be here. First of all, it's an honor to, to get to

1:30.0	generation respond to truth and courage the way that you've demonstrated it. So thank you.
1:36.4	I, uh, I'm just a guy from Kansas, from a small town in Kansas. I served as the deputy
1:43.1	treasurer of Kansas for six years. Uh, during that time, I worked with a group of state treasurers,
1:50.4	and we realized that there was a need for an opportunity to come together to talk about some of
1:57.2	the state financial issues, public finance issues, both at the federal and state level from an
2:03.2	unapologetically free market perspective. Um, and, and so there were other treasurers organizations
2:10.4	operating, but none of them really were excited to talk about it from that free market perspective
2:15.4	like we were. Um, so, uh, myself and eight other state treasurers co-founded the state financial
2:21.8	officers foundation, uh, 11 years ago. And together, we've just been raising awareness and, and
2:29.8	educating the public and these, uh, officials as they get elected, um, on issues of public finance,
