Trump’s Venezuela Blockade: Oil Wars, China’s Gold Playbook, and the Real Threat to U.S. Power | The Tom Bilyeu Show
Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Legal Risks: Blockade as Act of War
Drew cites legal warnings that a blockade could be an illegal act of war without congressional authorization.
Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive headfirst into the latest political and economic firestorms dominating the news cycle. They break down President Trump's controversial blockade of Venezuela, exploring what it means for U.S. foreign policy, the global oil market, and America's ongoing chess match with China. Tom Bilyeu brings his analytical lens to questions about economic bubbles, including why the Schiller PE ratio just hit a historic high—and what that might mean for investors and everyday Americans alike.
You’ll also hear thoughtful conversation around the recent Bandai beach massacre, troubling ties to ISIS, and the rise of Islamist extremism—with Tom Bilyeu and Drew taking care to unpack the media narratives and the importance of differentiating between extremism and broader religious communities.
Plus, the episode covers the Vanity Fair piece on Susie Wiles and its fallout within Trump’s inner circle, exploring the role of media framing, spin, and the power dynamics behind the headlines. Throughout, Tom Bilyeu and Drew peel back the layers on what’s really driving global events, why historical patterns of anti-Semitism and economic uncertainty matter today, and how to navigate turbulent times with clear vision—and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Grab your headphones and settle in, because it’s time to separate fact from spin and get perspective you won’t find anywhere else.
