On today’s episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sits down with former CIA operative Andrew Bustamante for a deep and eye-opening conversation that’s going to challenge how you see government transparency, conspiracy theories, and global power plays. Together, they dig into the silence and confusion surrounding high-profile cases like the assassination attempt on Trump, Charlie Kirk’s killing, and the ever-shadowy Epstein files—exploring why the FBI keeps the public in the dark and whether it’s just incompetence or calculated strategy. Andrew Bustamante brings his unique insider’s perspective, breaking down how America’s branches of government operate, what really happens when the public gets answers (and when they don’t), and why conspiracies spread so fast in the age of social media. The episode doesn’t stop there: Tom and Andrew debate popular narratives, including Candace Owens’ claims about coordinated killings, and examine how to separate fact from fiction in the current torrent of information. Plus, the two tackle bigger issues like America’s distrust for its institutions, China’s global rise and potential conflict over Taiwan, and the uncomfortable realities behind economic meltdowns and national security. If you’re interested in seeing past the headlines and understanding the mechanics—both visible and hidden—of government, power, and misinformation, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
