Rising Democratic Socialists and AI Price Discrimination
from The Lion Week in Review · host The Herzog Foundation
Michaela Estruth discusses her interview with Senator Josh Hawley conducted the day after nationwide primary elections. Hawley describes the Democrat Party’s sharp leftward shift, the rise of woke socialist candidates who favor government control, gender ideology in schools, and chemical abortions, and contrasts Missouri’s rejection of a more radical progressive with Michigan’s nomination of a Democratic Socialists of America candidate for Senate.The conversation turns to Hawley’s push to ban corporations from using AI and personal data to set individualized prices that charge customers differently for the same product or service. Additional topics include Hawley’s “trust but verify” stance on attorney-general nominee Todd Blanche, particularly enforcement against illegal mailing of abortion drugs into states with bans, and his efforts to keep Farm Service Agency offices open across rural Missouri, where agriculture remains the state’s top industry.Adam Wittenberg joins to examine the broader surge of overtly socialist candidates, a former Democratic operative’s book explaining why she left the party, ongoing debates over men in women’s sports highlighted by Riley Gaines and a satirical all-trans WNBA proposal, an investigative report on last-minute Biden-administration changes that routed nearly $3 billion in green-energy funds to Wall Street-managed vehicles, and a disbarred immigration attorney’s alleged large-scale fraud scheme.00:00:00 – Introduction00:00:22 – Hawley on Democrat Shift00:00:49 – Rise of Woke Socialists00:01:40 – Primary Results Overview00:03:46 – Michigan Versus Missouri00:05:38 – AI Pricing Practices00:06:30 – Ban on AI Price Setting00:08:10 – Economic Debate on Pricing00:11:29 – Todd Blanche Nomination00:11:53 – Abortion Drug Enforcement00:13:24 – Missouri Farm Offices00:14:38 – Agriculture as Top Industry00:16:35 – Democratic Socialists Surge00:18:27 – Young Voters and Affordability00:19:50 – Francesca Hong Controversy00:20:46 – Nothing Left Book00:22:19 – Democrats Abandon Heartland00:23:05 – Riley Gaines and WNBA00:24:32 – Trans Team Proposal00:25:25 – Green Energy Giveaway00:26:26 – Immigration Attorney Fraud Follow Heartlander News on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.
