In this urgent and thought-provoking episode of "Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu," Tom and co-host Drew dive headfirst into some of the most consequential geopolitical and domestic events unfolding right now. The conversation kicks off with escalating tensions in the Israel-Iran conflict, speculation about U.S. involvement, and global reactions to the prospect of another major war in the Middle East. With the world watching as superpowers and regional players clash over nuclear ambitions, Tom and Drew provide a nuanced and unflinching analysis of the moral dilemmas, double standards, and historical context driving events on the ground. Together, Tom and Drew untangle the complicated web of alliances, power imbalances, and ideological clashes between democratic West and theocratic regimes. They also examine the rise of anti-Semitism, the evolving narrative around Israel's actions in Gaza versus Iran, and the hypocrisy surrounding nuclear proliferation. The stakes are high, and the intense back-and-forth ensures listeners come away with a deeper understanding of the forces shaping today's headlines and tomorrow's future.

CannCon and Ashe in America deliver a sharp and fast-paced breakdown of today's biggest headlines, starting with breaking reports of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military facilities. With conflicting narratives and escalating rhetoric, the hosts dig into what's real, what's wartime PR, and what it means for Trump's broader strategy. The episode also dives into election interference bombshells, including the FBI's quiet admission of Chinese counterfeit driver's licenses tied to 2020 voter fraud, and the brewing legal drama over Trump's presidential immunity case. As the Supreme Court wraps its session, Ashe outlines the major decisions still hanging in the balance and what to expect in the final days before summer recess. Other highlights include analysis of social media psyops, Obama's shadow influence, and the growing divide in Congress over funding foreign wars. Packed with hard truths and biting commentary, this episode connects the dots between global conflict, domestic corruption, and the high-stakes chess game unfolding in real time.

US equity markets retreated on Friday (13 June) after Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran and its nuclear facilities, pushing oil prices sharply higher - Dow dropped -770-points or -1.79% Sherwin-Williams Co -5.7% was the worst performer in the 30-stock index, with analysts at Citigroup cutting their recommendation on the stock to "neutral" from "buy," indicating that the persistence of high mortgage rates and softness in the housing market could weigh on the paint distributor's performance in the near term. Visa Inc fell -4.99% and American Express Co -3.42% after a report in The Wall Street Journal indicated that Walmart Inc (-0.41) and Amazon.com Inc (-0.53%) are considering issuing their own stablecoins, a move that could help the retail giants sidestep the interchange fees charged by credit-card providers. Nike Inc (-3.61%) and Salesforce Inc (-3.19%) also fell over >3%.

Some missiles landed in Tel Aviv and other areas in Central Israel, damaging buildings and wounding dozens of Israelis, with at least one reported fatality. This followed Friday's extensive Israeli Air Force attack on Iranian nuclear, military, and leadership targets. The attacks damaged nuclear enrichment sites and killed Hussein Salammi, the head of the IRGC, the Army Chief of Staff, other members of the Iranian military leadership, as well as leading nuclear scientists.Just minutes before the evening's sirens began, we wrapped up a conversation with Nadav Eyal, senior analyst at Yedioth Achronot and Call me Back regular, where he explained how the Israeli attack on Iran unfolded and what it took for the IDF to prepare. These historic developments are certain to evolve over the next few days.

It's Thursday, May 8th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Iran continues to imprison Christian pastor and wife Authorities in Iran continue to hold a pastor's wife, 56-year-old Lida Alexani, in solitary confinement after arresting the pastor, reports Article 18. Iranian-Armenian pastor Joseph Shahbazian was arrested in February and sent to the infamous Evin Prison in Tehran. He has faced prison time before for participating in a house church and collecting tithes. Authorities also arrested his wife last month. Iran has criminalized offering tithes to support church activities. The country is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  India launched air strikes on Pakistan On Tuesday, India launched air strikes on Pakistan. India said it was in retaliation for an attack last month from alleged Pakistani nationals. India and Pakistan are on the brink of a wider conflict. Local church leaders are calling for Christians to pray for the countries. Bishop Nadeem Kamran is the head of the Anglican Church of Pakistan's Diocese of Lahore. He told Christian Daily International, “As the fear of war looms over the subcontinent, I ask all Christians in the two countries to observe … a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the region.” In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.” Trump's truce with Houthis On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced a truce with the Houthis in Yemen. The United States has been carrying out strikes on the Houthis in Yemen for weeks. This is in response to the Houthis attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. Despite the truce, the Houthis said they will continue attacks on Israel in support of Palestinians in Gaza. Listen to Trump's comments at an Oval Office meeting. TRUMP: “The Houthis have announced that they don't want to fight anymore. We will honor that. We will stop the bombings. They have capitulated.” Trump will rebuild and reopen Alcatraz off San Francisco coast President Trump announced Sunday he is directing the Bureau of Prisons to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz. The small island is located 1.25 miles offshore from San Francisco near the Golden Gate Strait. The island was developed in the mid-19th century with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, and a military prison. In 1934, the island was converted into a federal prison, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. The strong currents around the island and cold water temperatures made escape nearly impossible. The prison became one of the most notorious in American history. Trump posted on Truth Social that the infamous former prison will “house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.” The prison closed 60 years ago, but once housed the likes of Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and James “Whitey” Bulger. HHS denounces misguided treatments for gender confusion The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a report last Thursday, denouncing so-called treatments for gender confusion. The study evaluated the impact of transgender drugs and surgeries on children.  The department noted, “These interventions carry risk of significant harms including infertility/sterility, sexual dysfunction, impaired bone density accrual, adverse cognitive impacts, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders, psychiatric disorders, surgical complications, and regret.” Federal Reserve keeps interest rate in the 4.25%-4.5% range The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday.  The Fed's benchmark interest rate remains at 4.25% to 4.5%. The Fed warned of potentially higher unemployment and inflation as the economy adjusts to President Trump's tariff plan. Meanwhile, Trump continues to call for lower interest rates. World's largest page of Bible just printed to honor Gutenberg Press And finally, the International Gutenberg Society printed the world's largest page of the Bible, measuring 38 square yards, on April 26th, 2025 in Mainz, Germany. The event commemorated the 625th anniversary of the birth of Johannes Gutenberg. The German inventor created the moveable-type printing press. And he produced the first printed version of the Bible. The Gutenberg printing press revolutionized the dissemination of the Bible, making it more accessible to a wider audience than ever before. Prior to Gutenberg's invention, Bibles were hand-copied, a laborious process that made them expensive and rare. The printing press allowed for mass production, increasing availability and lowering costs. This led to a surge in literacy, the spread of the Bible, and Christianity. The commemorative event showcased a massive copy of the first page of John's Gospel. It was made from the largest industrial paper rolls available and covered nearly 400 square feet.  John 1:1-4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 8th, my 59th birthday, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says an Israeli strike close to the Presidential Palace in Damascus is a message to Syria's government not to threaten the Druze community. The new Syrian government says any breach of the country's sovereignty is unacceptable -- but Mr Netanyahu insisted that Israel would "not allow" Syrian forces to deploy south of the capital. Sectarian clashes in Syria this week killed dozens of people. Also in the programme: First Canada, now Australia - how the Trump factor is shaping tomorrow's election; and a surprise at the polls for Britain's governing Labour Party.
