Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom and Producer Drew dive straight into the heart of political chaos, exploring the ever-expanding landscape of conspiracy, media spin, and why public trust—sometimes even in the president—is at an all-time low. With Lisa Bilyeu co-hosting and special guest Victor Davis Hanson weighing in, the conversation pulls no punches: from Biden’s alleged cover-up and the inner workings of political “team ball,” to international conflicts like Ukraine’s bold drone strikes deep within Russia, and the jaw-dropping implications of global policies around information integrity.

The hosts question just how much power is held by a few political insiders, why the media might be in on the game, and why the rest of us should fight ferociously for freedom of speech—especially as the UN flirts with ideas that look a lot like global censorship. You’ll also hear deep-dive explorations into economic peril, with stark warnings about ballooning national debt and insights into the human biases that keep us locked into self-defeating political cycles.
