Author: TJ Walker January 13, 2026 Duration: 1:06:50

Meta’s metaverse experiment is shrinking fast, and the layoffs tell the real story. TJ Walker breaks down why Mark Zuckerberg’s most ambitious bet collapsed, what Wall Street learned, and why A.I. now dominates Silicon Valley strategy.

This episode also examines a broader credibility breakdown: CBS News turmoil, Bari Weiss’s media influence, Dan Bongino’s podcast return, and new research showing how sleep quietly shapes behavior more than motivation ever could.

Finally, a deep dive into institutional pressure, from the Federal Reserve to election systems, and what happens when power tests the limits of trust.
