Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today’s episode, Tom and co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of current events and cultural commentary, dissecting some of the most heated stories making headlines right now. The duo unpacks the drama between Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk, with Candace claiming vindication after Turning Point USA confirmed explosive texts about donor influence and shifts in support for Israel. Tom explores how the fight for narrative control in the digital age is changing the very fabric of truth and consensus, raising big questions about manufactured consent and the chaos of competing realities. The conversation doesn’t stop there. Tom and Drew tackle charged issues around immigration and law enforcement, reacting to Stephen Miller’s fiery CNN appearance and weighing in on the complexities—and consequences—of labeling protesters as domestic terrorists. They also dig into alarming new job loss data, discussing whether America is already in a stealth recession and what it means for workers, entrepreneurs, and the broader economy. Rounding things out, the guys look internationally, breaking down new reports that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s grip on power may be slipping, and what that could mean for the ongoing trade war with the US. Tom shares his thoughts on leadership, the need for shared national narratives, and the vital importance of economic reform. It’s an episode packed with hot takes, deep dives, and the kind of honest, thought-provoking analysis you’ve come to expect from Impact Theory. So settle in—this is one conversation you don’t want to miss. 00:00 Intro 00:35 Candace Owens Charlie Kirk Bombshell 19:41 Stephen Miller Goes Off On ICE Protests 41:12 American Jobs are Negative 48:57 Xi Jinping Losing Juice In China Linkedin: Post your job free at https://linkedin.com/impacttheory Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/impact Netsuite: Download the new e-book Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders at http://NetSuite.com/Theory Bevel Health: 1st month FREE at https://bevel.health/impact with code IMPACT ButcherBox: Ready to level up your meals?
