https://impacttheory.co/SCALESign up for my AI Masterclass: https://tombilyeu.com/ai-masterclass?utm_campaign=TBS-Livestream&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=socialWelcome back to another live episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Cohost Drew and Moderator Ryan, where we dig deep into the pressing issues shaping our world right now. In this episode, Tom unpacks the escalating conflict in the Middle East, including the deadly attacks on US soldiers and the global economic repercussions. He explores the surge in Americans leaving the workforce, reflects on the economic crises gripping both the US and China, and breaks down the perils of populist rhetoric and the dangers of historical amnesia in politics.Tom also dissects a viral interview with a DSA co-chair blaming capitalism for Peru’s downfall, contrasting that narrative with a historical analysis of Peru’s real struggles. The episode navigates contentious debates about government interference in markets—from public grocery stores to state-subsidized industries—and the future of AI as China’s Kimi model challenges US dominance.Rounding things out, Tom and the team tackle the latest on the Tate brothers’ arrests, the realities of rising social discontent, and the difference between emotionally resonant political messaging and real solutions. Get ready for a wide-ranging, no-holds-barred conversation that combines history, economics, and the urgent social questions of our time.Sponsors: Quince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.Ketone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderATT Business: Switch to AT&T Business at business.att.comIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!
