Filtered: AI’s $230B Moment, Nuclear Reality, and the Politics of Power

Loading player...
Elon Musk raises $20 billion more for his AI startup — but does that signal innovation, speculation, or both? TJ Walker explains why every major technological revolution has come with massive bubbles, and why AI may be no different.

We then unpack nuclear power’s quiet comeback. Despite decades of fear, the data shows nuclear energy is dramatically safer than fossil fuels and may be essential to powering the AI economy.

Next, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz steps away from reelection amid one of the largest COVID-era fraud scandals in U.S. history. We examine oversight failures, political consequences, and why corruption narratives stick.

Finally, TJ analyzes the growing embrace of raw power politics — at home and abroad — and what abandoning international norms could mean for democracy and global stability.

Plus, a practical Question of the Day on how to speak with clarity and impact.
