    When Politicians Ban the Press: A Dangerous Precedent

    What happens when a sports-betting company can identify its most vulnerable customers, conservatives start fighting over government checks, and a president decides certain news organizations have had enough access? On today’s Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ opens with reporting about DraftKings and a machine-learning model designed to predict which gamblers were likely to lose the most, followed by hundreds of millions of dollars in promotional bets aimed at high-value customers. TJ argues that the real problem isn’t simply gambling. It’s a business model built around finding the people most likely to keep losing. Then the show turns to a White House child-care proposal championed by J.D. Vance that could provide federal subsidies to married stay-at-home parents. The idea has triggered criticism from conservatives themselves, giving TJ an opening to ask what happens when the movement that spent decades warning about socialism starts sending government checks to traditional families. TJ also looks at reports surrounding Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding celebrations, a Russian businessman connected to Vladimir Putin, and President Donald Trump’s claim that his son paid the money back. Finally, TJ takes on the White House decision described in the show to bar CNN, MSNOW and Politico from access. His larger argument: politicians may be able to restrict reporters, but they cannot ban voters from experiencing prices, mortgages, wars, bills and the rest of everyday reality.

    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.
