Episode notes

On this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ examines why 81 percent of young Americans say the economy is bad or terrible, even as some traditional economic indicators look stronger than the public mood suggests. He argues the real issue is expectations, debt, housing, wages, and political participation. Then, TJ analyzes reports that the White House may vet advanced AI models before release, warning that regulation may be necessary but dangerous in the wrong hands. Finally, he makes the case for Electoral College reform and explains how the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact could change presidential elections.
