Surveillance, Brexit and E-Bikes: How Power Keeps Dodging Blame

On today’s episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, we look at how power keeps getting more tools, more money and more excuses — while ordinary people eat the consequences.

First, New York’s incoming progressive mayor Zohran Mamdani is keeping one of the most powerful surveillance systems on Earth. The NYPD’s Domain Awareness System quietly proves what both parties won’t say out loud: they love Big Brother when the cameras cut crime, even as they lie about “Democrat hellscapes.”

Then to the U.K., where even pro-business conservatives are now admitting the obvious: Brexit has been an economic self-own. We break down the research showing a smaller economy, weaker investment and higher chaos, with none of the promised payoff.

Back home, e-bikes and “e-motos” were sold as green, fun and harmless. Trauma surgeons say they’re actually mini-motorcycles turning kids and pedestrians into crash victims. We talk about why America needs speed limits, age limits and real enforcement.

Next, inside Trump’s White House, A.I. and crypto czar David Sacks is supposedly writing the rules for Big Tech while holding hundreds of overlapping investments. Is he a regulator, a lobbyist, or both at once? We walk through the conflicts.

Finally, The Wall Street Journal delivers a brutal verdict on the Trump brand as a business bet: DJT stock, Trump and Melania meme coins, and family crypto projects are all tanking, leaving his own fans holding the bag.

Plus, in the grab bag, a generation of teenagers is tuning out news entirely, and Republicans are quietly retiring rather than serve as Trump’s rubber stamp.

If you want sharp, fact-driven analysis without both-sides fog, this is your episode.
