    Warren Buffett’s Surprising Exit: What He Really Thinks Now

    Warren Buffett built one of the greatest investing records in history — then gave ordinary investors a surprising final lesson: stop trying to invest like Warren Buffett. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ examines Buffett’s retirement from Berkshire Hathaway, why Buffett has repeatedly recommended low-cost S&P 500 index funds, and what his advice says about the difficulty of beating the market. TJ also looks at Elon Musk’s reputation battle surrounding a new four-hour documentary, the attention economy, and why some scandals disappear faster when public figures can create a constant stream of new headlines. Plus, TJ breaks down the controversy surrounding Attorney General Todd Blanche appearing at Republican political events, the debate over “personal capacity,” and the long-term question of how future attorneys general from either party should balance political activity with public trust.

    The Truth About Trump's AI Claims and Election Rules

    Donald Trump says fears about artificial intelligence taking over are a “hoax.” But what happens when the people racing to build increasingly powerful AI systems admit they cannot fully predict where the technology is heading? On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ breaks down the real debate over artificial intelligence, AGI, catastrophic risk, China’s role in the global AI race, and whether meaningful safeguards can coexist with American technological leadership. Then, the Supreme Court stops the Trump administration from enforcing new Postal Service requirements for mail ballots during the 2026 midterm election. TJ looks at the proposed ballot rules, the Court’s 7–2 decision, and the larger question hanging over Donald Trump’s approach to elections: do the same rules still count when your side loses? Finally, Gavin Newsom says he would not run for president in 2028 if Kamala Harris enters the race. TJ examines Harris’s 2020 and 2024 campaigns, Newsom’s strengths and weaknesses, and why he believes Newsom would be the stronger Democratic general-election candidate if the choice came down to the two Californians.

    Gavin Newsom Under Federal Scrutiny & The GOP’s Vetting Disaster

    Gavin Newsom is facing an expanding federal investigation involving travel, outside funding, and personal expenses, but the subpoenas reportedly do not identify a specific alleged crime. TJ Walker looks at what happens when investigators appear to start with a political target and work backward toward possible wrongdoing. Also on today’s Filtered with TJ Walker: an Ohio Republican Senate campaign hires, and quickly fires, a political director after reporters uncover Nazi imagery and Rhodesia-related material in his public history. TJ asks the obvious question: how does someone responsible for political judgment get hired without anyone checking his public profile? Then the show turns to something more optimistic: autonomous vehicles. With roughly 1.19 million people dying in road crashes each year globally, could robotaxis eventually save lives and return thousands of hours of commuting time to ordinary workers? And first, America’s retirement problem may be about more than Social Security. Retirees are reportedly watching about 47 hours of television every week. TJ argues that retirement should mean escaping work you hate, not abandoning purpose, usefulness, and human connection altogether.

    The Truth About Trump's $5,000 Checks and Rising Debt

    Donald Trump wants voters to “pretend I’m on the ballot” in the 2026 midterms, and he’s pitching a $5,000 payment to every American adult if Republicans retain control of Congress. But while politicians make promises, the bond market is sending a much less comfortable message about inflation, federal debt, interest rates, mortgages, and the cost of borrowing. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ breaks down why the bond market may be the most brutally honest institution in America, how rising Treasury yields eventually reach your mortgage and credit card, and why Washington’s growing debt matters far beyond Wall Street. Then TJ turns to the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, where Trump dominated the spotlight, told supporters to treat the election as if his own name were on the ballot, warned non-voters they could “go to hell,” and proposed thousands of dollars in direct payments while Republican speakers warned about socialism. When does a government handout become socialism? Apparently, sometime after the check clears.

    Trump’s Midterm Gamble, Data Center Backlash & Right-Wing Cancel Culture

    Donald Trump is taking center stage in the Republican midterm strategy, but is that an advantage or a gift to Democrats? On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ looks at Republicans building their midterm convention around Trump, questions the logic of promising voters a $5,000 “dividend” while the national debt keeps climbing, and breaks down the growing political backlash against AI and data centers. TJ also examines the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the controversy surrounding a university professor who was fired after sharing an article about Kirk’s past comments. The case raises a larger question: if conservatives oppose cancel culture, should that principle also protect speech they find offensive? Plus: Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, AI infrastructure, electricity and water costs, free speech, political hypocrisy, government spending, and why both parties have trouble applying their own principles consistently.

    Why the Iran War Is Costing You More Than You Think

    The war with Iran is no longer just a foreign-policy story. Oil tankers are burning, the Strait of Hormuz is under pressure, fuel prices are climbing, and Americans are paying the bill. TJ Walker asks the question Washington keeps avoiding: What does winning this war actually mean? Then Elon Musk’s America PAC pours money into culture-war advertising focused on transgender athletes while TJ argues that voters should look at the issues actually affecting their bank accounts. Also in this episode: LIV Golf files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after billions in Saudi investment, the Trump meme coin raises new questions about money and access to the president, and Donald Trump escalates the trade fight with Canada with new restrictions and tariffs on Canadian alcohol, dairy products, motorcycles, steel, aluminum, furniture and more. From Iran and gas prices to Elon Musk, Trump, LIV Golf, cryptocurrency and Canada, today’s episode of Filtered with TJ Walker follows the money behind the political chaos and asks who actually pays when politicians and billionaires get what they want.

    Workers Get Less While Culture Wars Get Louder | Filtered with TJ Walker

    American workers are producing more, but receiving a smaller share of the economic rewards. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ looks at the shrinking labor share of the U.S. economy, record corporate profits, stagnant worker pay, and the political culture wars that keep voters focused on everything except one basic question: Who gets the money? TJ also takes on the strange distrust of DEET, asking why some people who say they “follow the science” suddenly reject decades of scientific evidence when the subject is insect repellent. From mosquitoes and Lyme disease to confirmation bias and “natural” alternatives, he breaks down the difference between a personal preference and a scientific claim. Then, Donald Trump and Michael Cohen are back together. After years of public attacks, criminal cases, testimony, prison, and Cohen helping prosecutors build cases against Trump, Cohen is once again calling Trump “boss” while seeking a presidential pardon. TJ examines the remarkable reunion, what Cohen has, and has not, recanted, and why forgiveness looks very different when one person has the power to erase your federal conviction.
