NFL Brain Damage, Trump’s Art Purge & Billionaire Nepotism

NFL Brain Damage, Trump’s Art Purge & Billionaire Nepotism

Author: TJ Walker August 25, 2026 Duration: 37:53
A new study estimates that at least one-quarter of former NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had CTE. TJ Walker asks the uncomfortable question: if repeated brain trauma is an accepted part of professional football, why does America keep treating the damage as a surprise?TJ also examines the Trump administration’s removal of a Kehinde Wiley painting from the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic and what it says about political control, cancel culture, and government-approved art.Then, the arrest of San Francisco 49ers principal owner Jed York leads to a wider discussion about inherited wealth, billionaire privilege, estate taxes, and the American belief that rich heirs somehow earned every advantage they received.The episode closes with a lighter, but increasingly complicated, look at TJ’s elaborate nightly sleep routine, including a smart mattress, sleep tracking, mouth tape, earplugs, blackout blinds, supplements, and more.Subscribe to Filtered with TJ Walker for independent political commentary, news analysis, satire, and unfiltered opinions on the stories shaping America.#FilteredWithTJWalker #TJWalker #NFL #CTE #Football #DonaldTrump #KehindeWiley #BarackObama #JedYork #SanFrancisco49ers #Billionaires #InheritanceTax #PoliticalCommentary #NewsAnalysis #AmericanPoliticsFiltered with TJ Walker, TJ Walker, NFL CTE, football brain damage, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, NFL player health, football concussions, Donald Trump art, Trump administration art, Kehinde Wiley painting, Barack Obama portrait, cancel culture, political censorship, Jed York arrest, San Francisco 49ers, NFL owners, billionaire privilege, inherited wealth, inheritance tax, estate tax, American politics, political satire, news commentary, sleep routine, mouth taping, Eight Sleep, Oura Ring
