Netflix wants to swallow Hollywood’s crown jewels. In this episode of Filtered with TJ Walker:

• We break down Netflix’s $72 billion plan to acquire Warner Bros and HBO and what it means for competition, movie theaters, and the future of streaming.
• We examine how a frustrated homeowner and his RATGDO device became the symbol of a larger fight over who really owns your “smart” devices, you or the companies that can brick them and charge endless subscriptions.
• We dive into Bitcoin’s latest price volatility and lay out the full case against crypto: speculation, scams, money laundering, password risk, and why the “fiat is worthless” argument collapses on contact with reality.
• We look at the sentencing of Matthew Perry’s ketamine doctor and how authority bias, halo effect, groupthink, and motivated reasoning can warp medical judgment.
• We cover why a federal grand jury refused to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James, and what that says about Trump’s efforts to weaponize the Justice Department.
• And we close with Trump’s kill-on-sight boat campaign against alleged drug smugglers, which legal experts say may violate both U.S. and international law and could amount to murder at sea rather than wartime operations.
