In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker Live, TJ explores five stories shaping media and public debate. Joe Rogan criticizes the Iran war and says many supporters feel betrayed. Gas prices continue climbing as oil markets react to Middle East instability. Timothée Chalamet’s “no one cares” comment about opera goes viral, offering a perfect lesson in why emotional, absolute sound bites dominate coverage. TJ also breaks down Paul Krugman’s argument that the government may be targeting Anthropic’s Claude AI for ideological reasons rather than performance. Finally, Conan O’Brien says the success of Hot Ones proved that traditional late-night television is in trouble, as low-cost digital shows now attract huge audiences and major celebrities. A fast-paced episode on media power, political messaging, energy prices, AI, and the changing future of entertainment.
