The segment opened with Haggai Davis putting political rumors to rest, clearly stating he is not running for the U.S. Senate, Congress, or any other office. With Louisiana politics entering another cycle of shifting seats and speculation, Davis acknowledged the constant “trickle-down” movement but made it clear he is staying out of the race.The discussion then shifted to technology, led by Walmart’s announcement that it has successfully launched drone delivery in partnership with Wing. Walmart plans to expand drone deliveries to 150 stores by the end of the year and 350 by 2027, starting in major metro areas. Unlike Amazon, which struggled with safety, navigation, and logistics, Walmart claims improved drone technology and shorter delivery distances make the model viable.The show also examined a major tech failure: Meta’s metaverse project. After spending $73 billion over four years, Meta shut down the initiative due to low user adoption, resulting in a massive write-down and 1,500 layoffs.
