    The Truth About Trump’s Time Interview (And Why He’s Angry)

    Donald Trump gave Time Magazine a wide-ranging interview, and TJ Walker breaks down what Trump chose to focus on, from his Supreme Court picks and approval ratings to his complaints about the questions reporters were asking. Then the episode turns to an extraordinary piece of political history: the Trump Justice Department hearing arguments that Richard Nixon may have gotten a raw deal over Watergate. TJ looks at what that says about political power, historical memory, and what happens when even long-settled events become partisan arguments. Also in this episode: Tennessee’s troubled attempt to execute Krista Pike raises new questions about the death penalty and government competence. The Portland Trail Blazers hire and fire broadcaster Braden Bell in the same day after old social-media posts surface. And TJ connects all four stories through one question: what happens when institutions, politicians, and the internet refuse to forget, or decide to rewrite, the past?

    Trump vs. Powell: The Real Fed Scandal Nobody Is Watching

    Pete Hegseth says the U.S. military needs fewer beards, tougher standards, testosterone testing, and a renewed “warrior” culture. TJ Walker takes apart the Defense Secretary’s State of the Force speech at Quantico, and asks what those priorities mean while the United States remains locked in conflict with Iran and Americans face higher energy costs. Then, Donald Trump’s attacks on Jerome Powell collide with the Federal Reserve inspector general’s findings on the Fed headquarters renovation. TJ looks at how accusations dominate headlines, and what happens when the follow-up gets far less attention. Also in this episode: Kristi Noem files for divorce after more than three decades of marriage, AI anxiety starts showing up in therapy, and the Pentagon’s growing interest in autonomous warfare creates one more reason to wonder whether the robots should really be learning from us.

    Jack Smith Testifies on Trump as GOP Senate Candidates Keep Their Distance

    Donald Trump faces pressure from several directions in this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker. TJ starts with a surprising social trend: Americans are inviting friends and family into their homes far less often than they once did. From there, the show turns to former special counsel Jack Smith’s Senate testimony about his investigations of Trump, including the 2020 election case and classified documents kept at Mar-a-Lago. TJ also looks at Republican Senator Eric Schmitt’s attempt to challenge Smith over a basketball game, only for the accusation to unravel when the location turned out to be wrong. Then comes another political problem for Trump: several Republican Senate candidates in competitive races appear reluctant to have him join them on the campaign trail. It’s a show about isolation, accountability, political loyalty, and what happens when even your own side stops sending invitations.

    Elon Musk Gets Canceled? Trump Uses Your Money for Ads | Filtered with TJ Walker

    Elon Musk has spent years warning that cancel culture is destroying America. But after platforms rejected paid ads for a documentary criticizing Musk, the debate over who gets “canceled” took a surprising turn.

TJ also breaks down Republican Senator John Kennedy’s criticism of politicians naming public buildings after themselves, Donald Trump’s use of a campaign-style ad aired through government channels, and the controversy surrounding taxpayer-funded messaging.

    Tucker Carlson Turns on Trump as America Loses Its Mind Over Socialism

    Tucker Carlson says Donald Trump should have been removed from office. A Gen Z job candidate carrying iced coffee sparks a national workplace debate. A tenured professor learns that tenure may not mean what it used to. And Americans are once again panicking over the word “socialism.” On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ takes on four stories that say a lot about American politics, work and culture. First, the internet erupts over “CoffeeGate” after a recruiter argues that Gen Z job candidates shouldn’t bring iced coffee into interviews. TJ puts on his grumpy-old-man success-coach hat and explains why getting comfortable may not be the same thing as getting hired. Then, a professor’s lawsuit against The New School raises a bigger question about tenure, struggling colleges and whether professors now have more options outside traditional academia. TJ also reacts to Tucker Carlson’s comments about Donald Trump and the 25th Amendment, including Carlson’s criticism of Trump’s rhetoric toward Iran. Finally, a Gallup poll showing growing positive views of socialism launches TJ into America’s favorite ideological panic. Public schools, fire departments, police, roads, Social Security and Medicare all raise the same question: where exactly does capitalism end and “socialism” begin?

    AI Broke Into a Government Database, Melania’s Media Empire, and the Flock Camera Debate

    Artificial intelligence was given a simple assignment — find information about Australia’s medicine spending. Instead, the AI agent found a way into files it was never supposed to access. On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ examines what happens when artificial intelligence refuses to accept “no” as an answer, why AI safety and oversight matter, and what this incident reveals about the future of autonomous systems. TJ also looks at Melania Trump’s new documentary deal, the growing business opportunities connected to political fame, and the question of whether public office can become a personal brand machine. Plus: Indianapolis police officers are accused of misusing Flock license plate cameras to track personal relationships. TJ argues the problem may not be the technology itself, but the people who abuse access to it. The episode also explores Vladimir Putin, Ukraine, global power, and the risks of countries testing the limits of international rules.
