  • Is Socialism the Answer? Tom Bilyeu and Drew Debate Economic Policy and Free Buses | Tom Bilyeu Show Live
    Oct 31 2025
    n today's thought-provoking episode, Tom is joined by his ever-insightful co-host Drew for a dynamic, no-holds-barred conversation tackling the most pressing issues shaping our world right now. The crew dives headfirst into global politics—from the ongoing turmoil in Israel and Gaza, to the influence of leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump—analyzing whether the problems we face are rooted in individuals or systemic forces. The discussion takes an especially sharp turn when Tom and Drew debate the economic policies of populist leaders, with a special focus on Mamdani and the rise of socialist ideas. Tom is adamant about the dangers of deficit spending and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned but economically unsound policies, arguing that populism risks making life harder for the very people it claims to champion. Drew, meanwhile, pushes back, questioning whether reallocating government spending toward infrastructure and services—like free buses—could offer real solutions for the middle and lower classes. Listeners can expect rigorous analysis of America’s fractured economy, why wealth inequality is exploding, the pitfalls of government spending, and the urgent need for economic literacy. The team even explores how America’s mass under-education and lost competitive edge might threaten its place on the world stage, especially compared to China’s meteoric rise. Throughout, Tom anchors the conversation around the core values that he believes America needs to reclaim: self-improvement, ambition, and a relentless drive to win. Thought experiments, tough questions about the future of unproductive citizens, and even reflections on children’s entertainment and cultural mindsets round out this expansive, deeply relevant episode. If you’re ready for a blend of hard truths, big ideas, and a little levity, this is one Impact Theory episode you won’t want to miss. Let’s dive in!

  • Gaza Ceasefire Lies, SNAP Benefits on the Brink, and Why It All Comes Down to Economics | The Tom Bilyeu Show
    Oct 30 2025
    What's up, guys? Today, we're diving deep into one of the wildest, most complex moments happening on the global stage right now—everything from the situation in Israel and Gaza, to government shutdowns, SNAP benefits, and even the future of AI, aliens, and societal upheaval. I'm joined by my co-host Drew, who brings the receipts every time and doesn't shy away from asking the tough, uncomfortable questions. Together, we're going to break down the collision of ideology and economics, why power drives decisions on the world stage, and what that means for you and your family. We get into why economic alliances are the only thing that can drive real change—in Israel, in Gaza, everywhere—and how policies and political theater in the U.S. are shaping the way we live. We're talking about everything from the Abraham Accords, to Biden's pardons, to what happens if SNAP benefits run out and the real threats facing American stability. On top of all that, we're tackling the existential question around AI and the future of work, and even asking, is that mysterious object in the sky really an alien ship—or just another shiny rock? By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away thinking differently about power, survival, and the future of technology and humanity—and you’ll know exactly what’s at stake, not just at the policy level, but for your everyday life. If you want to understand how these global and national issues will impact you, this is the episode you cannot afford to miss. If you get value out of this, please hit us with a review—it helps us reach more people like you who want to level up and reach their true potential. I'm Tom Bilyeu, and welcome to Impact Theory.

  • Inside America's Debt Crisis: How Politicians Are Sacrificing Your Future Peter Schiff Pt. 2 -
    Oct 29 2025
    In Part 2 of this gripping discussion, Tom Bilyeu and Peter Schiff turn their attention to the impending consequences of America’s unsustainable economic trajectory. Schiff predicts the collapse of the dollar’s reserve status, explains how a global shift toward gold is already underway, and lays out the likely social, political, and financial fallout—both for the U.S. and the world. The conversation ventures into practical advice on how individuals can protect their wealth in the face of inflation and waning trust in traditional financial assets. Tom challenges Peter on bitcoin’s role as “digital gold,” spurring a spirited debate on the future of money, generational attitudes about value, and the risks of speculative assets. Schiff also addresses the dangers of expanding government, the illusion of democracy, the social risks embedded in economic collapse, and the myths and realities of corporate greed. Rounding out the episode are controversial takes on minimum wage laws, socialism’s rise, China’s ascent, and what Americans can do to weather the coming economic storm. What's up, everybody?

  • Gold Hits Historic Highs: Is America's Economy About to Implode? | Impact Theory Tom Bilyeu
    Oct 28 2025
    In this powerhouse episode of "Impact Theory," Tom Bilyeu sits down with renowned economist, author, and outspoken financial commentator Peter Schiff. Best known for his unflinching critiques of U.S. monetary policy, Schiff unpacks the real meaning behind gold’s all-time highs and what it signals for the American and global economy. In Part 1, Tom and Peter go deep into the historical context that shapes today’s economic challenges, including how the gold standard's collapse, fiscal irresponsibility, and the rise of global debt have set the stage for a looming monetary crisis. Peter shares insights on the mechanisms behind inflation, explains how American prosperity has become dangerously dependent on the dollar’s reserve status, and traces the evolution of our monetary system from the Founding Fathers to Nixon’s closing of the gold window. This is an eye-opening journey through economic history and policy that challenges mainstream narratives about the value of gold, the state of global trade, and America’s financial future.
