  Aug 17, 202633 min

  A three-time Donald Trump voter is stunned after his Russian-born wife, who has a pending green-card case and no criminal history, is detained by immigration authorities. But even as Trump’s immigration policies hit his own family, he continues defending the president and insisting his wife entered through Trump’s “beautiful big front door.”TJ Walker examines the personal consequences of hard-line immigration enforcement and the extraordinary loyalty Trump continues to receive from supporters directly affected by his policies.Also in this episode:Why the political left has no true equivalent to Candace Owens and the conservative conspiracy-media machineFederal legitimacy for the Trump family’s cryptocurrency venture and USD1 stablecoinAttorney General Todd Blanche’s refusal to guarantee independence from TrumpThe collapse of the U.S.–Iran nuclear negotiation deadlineWho should benefit from the enormous wealth generated by AI data centersParamount chief David Ellison’s threat to move studio operations out of CaliforniaSubscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for daily political commentary, media analysis, major news stories, and the arguments often missing from traditional cable news.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #DonaldTrump #Trump #ICE #Immigration #ImmigrationPolicy #TrumpVoters #CandaceOwens #ToddBlanche #Iran #ArtificialIntelligence #PoliticalNews #USNews #CurrentEvents

  The Thanksgiving Tweet That Could Cost an Election | Filtered with TJ Walker

  Aug 14, 202625 min

  Could Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually become president in 2028? Republicans may be rooting for AOC to win the Democratic nomination, convinced she would be easy to beat—but TJ Walker argues they may want to remember how Democrats once felt about Donald Trump in 2016.On today’s Filtered, TJ looks at AOC’s political strengths, her mastery of social media, and why conventional wisdom about “electability” is often spectacularly wrong.Then: the University of Michigan is experimenting with pass/fail grading for freshmen to reduce stress. TJ has a different prescription—keep the grades and take away the smartphones. Are phones, social media, online gambling and disappearing face-to-face interaction doing far more damage to college students than grades ever could?Finally, Wisconsin politics delivers perhaps the ultimate example of political distraction: a candidate facing backlash over an old tweet criticizing Thanksgiving. TJ asks why voters obsess over culture-war trivia while problems involving jobs, schools, debt and affordability go unresolved.Filtered with TJ Walker — politics, culture and current events without the usual partisan filter.

  Let Kids Roam, Not Scroll: Overprotective Parenting & Facebook Addiction

  Aug 12, 202627 min

  Are parents protecting their children, or making them less independent?On today’s Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ takes on the growing debate over childhood independence, parents facing scrutiny for letting kids walk, bike, shop, or play outside alone, and the fear-driven culture that treats ordinary childhood freedom as dangerous.TJ argues that the greater threat may not be outside the home at all. Kids are increasingly spending their lives indoors, attached to phones, tablets, social media, and algorithm-driven entertainment instead of learning independence, resilience, communication, and real-world social skills.Then TJ turns the spotlight on Facebook, Meta, and Mark Zuckerberg—and admits that after years of believing he was immune to endless scrolling, Facebook finally found exactly what could keep him hooked. From personalized comedy clips to algorithmic recommendations, TJ examines how social platforms learn what captures our attention and keep serving more of it.The two stories ultimately collide around one question: Are we keeping kids away from real-world risks while handing them over to digital platforms designed to capture their attention?Topics include childhood independence, overprotective parenting, child safety, screen time, Jonathan Haidt, social media addiction, Facebook algorithms, Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, online safety, parental controls, and the battle for our attention.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for independent commentary on politics, media, technology, culture, and the stories shaping everyday life.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #Parenting #ChildhoodIndependence #FreeRangeParenting #ScreenTime #SocialMediaAddiction #Facebook #Meta #MarkZuckerberg #DigitalAddiction #OnlineSafety #ChildSafety #ParentingDebate

  Flock Safety Cameras Are “Surveillance”, TJ Walker Says We Need More of Them

  Aug 11, 202618 min

  lock Safety’s automated license plate readers have become one of America’s most controversial police technologies. Critics on both the left and right warn that the growing network creates a mass-surveillance system that can track where innocent people travel and potentially be abused by police or other government agencies.TJ Walker agrees those concerns are real, but argues that banning the technology is the wrong answer.In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ makes the case that Flock Safety cameras could do far more than help police locate suspected criminals. He argues they could be paired with automated traffic enforcement to discourage speeding, red-light running, and other dangerous driving while reducing the need for officers to manually conduct traffic enforcement.The larger question: When technology can make law enforcement more effective and potentially save lives, should fears about surveillance stop us from using it?TJ examines the tradeoff between privacy, government power, public safety, traffic deaths, police efficiency, and personal freedom, and explains why he believes stronger safeguards against abuse make more sense than eliminating the technology altogether.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for independent commentary on politics, technology, media, government, and the biggest debates shaping America.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #FlockSafety #Surveillance #LicensePlateReaders #PoliceTechnology #PublicSafety #Privacy #LawEnforcement #TrafficSafety #MassSurveillance #GovernmentTechnology

  Trump’s Personal Lawyer Is Now Attorney General | Todd Blanche Confirmed

  Aug 10, 202612 min

  The Senate has confirmed Todd Blanche, Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, as U.S. Attorney General in a razor-thin 50-49 vote.On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ examines what Blanche’s elevation means for the independence of the Justice Department, and why putting one of Trump’s most trusted legal allies in charge of federal law enforcement raises much larger questions about political loyalty, institutional norms, accountability, and the limits on presidential power.TJ also asks the uncomfortable question: if traditional political and legal norms no longer constrain the presidency, what actually does?Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for independent political commentary, analysis, current events, and a perspective that cuts through the standard cable-news talking points.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #ToddBlanche #DonaldTrump #AttorneyGeneral #JusticeDepartment #DOJ #TrumpAdministration #USPolitics #PoliticalNews #Senate #Democracy #RuleOfLaw #BreakingNews
