Congress’ Reckless Budget, Immigration Realities, ICE Raids, and Europe’s Economic Meltdown | The Tom Bilyeu Show
Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Congress’ New Budget and Fiscal Concerns
Drew and Tom analyze the 2026 appropriations, spending increases, and the failed Massey amendment.
Welcome to another rousing edition of the Tom Bilyeu Show Live! In this episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive deep into the latest headlines shaking the world—from global politics and economics to heated debates around government spending, immigration policy, and the true cost of regulation. They start by unpacking a flurry of international headlines, including escalating tensions in the Middle East, Trump’s controversial “Peace Board” and the rumors swirling around America’s military strategy and alliances. The conversation quickly turns to domestic issues, as Tom Bilyeu and Drew candidly discuss California’s open approach to healthcare for undocumented immigrants, the fallout from Congress’s new budget, and the economic realities most Americans are facing.
Expect sharp analysis of everything from ICE’s media optics to the politics of meme culture at Davos, Elon Musk’s side-eye at Trump, and the age-old debate of how much regulation is too much. You’ll hear why overregulation could be strangling Europe’s entrepreneurial spirit, and get a no-holds-barred assessment of government intervention—from hotel junk fees to historic examples like the GI Bill and the perils of bureaucratic overreach.
If you’re looking for unfiltered, passionate, and insightful takes on the forces shaping our world—and a few laughs along the way—this episode promises to bring both the heat and the nuance you crave. Let’s dive in!
