Robots, Pennies and Burnout: Trump, Epstein and Work Wars

Robots are tripping onstage, the penny is finally dead, and millions of Americans are quietly drowning after losing their jobs, but the most powerful people in the country want you looking the other way.

In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker, we start with newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails that put Donald Trump back at the center of Epstein’s world. Epstein bragged he could “take him down” and wrote that Trump “knew about the girls,” even as the White House keeps calling the whole thing a hoax.

Then we zoom in on the new work war. The Democratic National Committee orders staff back into the office five days a week, while Japan’s first woman prime minister drags aides into a “3 a.m. study session” in a country already haunted by death from overwork.

We bury the penny at age 232 and follow the money to see who really benefited from keeping a coin that cost more to make than it was worth. We look at Russia’s humanoid robot that face-planted onstage, and why U.S. and global robots that don’t fall are already lining up to take human jobs.

Finally, we sit with the emotional crash that comes after a layoff: depression, shame, anxiety, and the quiet desperation of long-term unemployment, and what actually helps people hang on and rebuild.

If you care about power, money, work, and how all of this hits real people, this one’s for you.
