The Truth About Trump's AI Claims and Election Rules

The Truth About Trump's AI Claims and Election Rules

Author: TJ Walker September 15, 2026 Duration: 15:10

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.
