Week in Review: Another Side to the Palantir Story | The Last Word (For Now) On Dems and Young Men | 6/8/25

Aaron McIntire recaps the week’s biggest stories, including Lucy Guo, a 30-year-old college dropout, surpassing Taylor Swift as the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire with a $1.3 billion net worth from her Scale AI stake, co-founded with Alexandr Wang and backed by Peter Thiel. Concerns mount over Palantir Technologies’ alleged contract with the Trump administration to build a centralized database on Americans, countered by ex-employee Wendy Anderson’s defense of its data integration tools. Tim Walz and Nate Silver analyze young men’s shift toward conservatism, with polls showing conservatives dominate among those with strong mental health. Plus, Stephen Miller slams Democrats’ “unsellable ideology,” and fears grow over Chinese-owned properties near U.S. military bases.   Lucy Guo, Taylor Swift, Scale AI, Palantir Technologies, Peter Thiel, Alexandr Wang, Wendy Anderson, Trump administration, centralized database, Tim Walz, Nate Silver, young men voters, conservatism, Stephen Miller, Chinese investments, military bases, national security
