In this mind-opening episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sits down with Stephen Bonnell, known online as Destiny, one of the most prolific and thought-provoking political streamers of our time. Destiny, with his razor-sharp logic and fearless approach, challenges Tom—and the audience—to reevaluate their assumptions about what it will take to “make America great.” Together, they tackle the roots of America's dysfunction: division, distrust, debt, inequality, and the myth of political heroism on both sides of the aisle. The first half of this two-part conversation digs into the realities of America's fiscal crisis, cycles of Republican and Democratic leadership, the real drivers behind national debt, and the impact of partisan policy on America's economic future. Tom and Destiny debate the measurable KPIs of economic pain, the role of tax cuts and deficits, and the endlessly controversial question of “who's to blame” for America's budgetary freefall. They draw hard lines between rhetoric and reality, examining how populism, money printing, and the culture of “free stuff” have become major obstacles to meaningful reform. With both men refusing to pull their punches, this Part 1 episode is packed with sharp exchanges, nuanced economic breakdowns, and a relentless search for practical solutions in an era of political theater.

Elon Musk's embrace of President Trump and his campaign marked a pivotal moment in the 2024 presidential election. Musk was eventually appointed to head the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he was tasked with cutting federal spending and reducing the national debt. DOGE moved quickly and decisively, triggering lawsuits and further enraging Trump's critics. Although Musk has since left the Trump administration and experienced a very public fallout with President Trump, DOGE continues to operate and make an impact. Matthew Continetti, Director of Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss DOGE, highlighting where it was effective in cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, and where it fell short of the expectations set by Musk and the administration. Continetti, who is featured in FOX Nation's new documentary "DOGE vs. DC," also weighs in on the public spat between Musk and the President, as well as the challenges politicians face when addressing America's debt seriously. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

They explore how the Biden administration's economic agenda challenges decades of neoliberal orthodoxy, discuss the implications of increased public investment, and examine what it means to have a “pro-worker” economy.

This year's big fiscal package, officially titled the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), extends the TCJA's tax cuts, increases spending on defense and immigration enforcement, significantly cuts Medicaid expenditures, and increases the debt ceiling by $5tn. The law's budgetary impact will depend on the path of interest rates, how the economy responds to its various incentives, and whether temporary provisions are eventually made permanent. In this episode, we talk with Rachel Snyderman, Managing Director of Economic Policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, about the OBBBA's most significant provisions, its impact on federal deficits, and the ways it could affect growth and interest rates.

The discussion centered on the concept of "deficit delusion," where Kerry Lutz and John Tamny argued that the perceived crisis of government debt is a misinterpretation, attributing the real issue to excessive government resource consumption. John highlighted that government spending limits societal advancement, while Kerry pointed out that the current system facilitates easy borrowing through excessive revenue collection. They characterized the situation as a form of theft through taxation, emphasizing that high levels of government intervention lead to economic inefficiencies and lost opportunities for taxpayers. They suggested that maintaining government spending at historical levels could have significantly enhanced national wealth. The conversation also explored the relationship between personal mental states and economic perceptions, with John asserting that savings drive economic growth more than consumption. They discussed the importance of individual economic freedom and the detrimental effects of policies that restrict wealth and trade. Kerry advocated for improved economic education, drawing parallels to successful public health campaigns, while John critiqued the dominance of Keynesian thought in economic education. They further examined the implications of currency stability on economic health, criticizing past administrations for dollar devaluation. The discussion concluded with reflections on the significance of John's upcoming book, "The Deficit Delusion."

Hedge fund founder, author, and one of the top influences in the financial world, Ray Dalio has written about how countries (or, in his parlance, “empires”) find themselves in irreversible doom spirals, covered in depth in his new book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. So, I wanted to talk to him about the fiscal hot potato being passed back and forth between the House and the Senate that threatens to explode our deficit past the point of no return. His message is clear: “I don't care who's right or wrong, but this is what needs to happen now if we want to avoid disaster.” Transcripts, show notes, resources, and credits can be found at: ⁠https://moneywithkatie.com/status-power-economy⁠ — Money with Katie's mission is to be the intersection where the economic, cultural, and political meet the tactical, practical, personal finance education everyone needs.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

In this episode of The Todd Huff Show, Todd breaks down the sweeping “One Big Beautiful Bill” just passed by the Senate—with a razor‑thin senate tie, brought over by J.D. Vance. He objectively reviews its major provisions: permanent extension of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a raised SALT deduction cap to $40,000, increased tax breaks for seniors, tips, and overtime, and a $4 trillion debt‐ceiling raise projected to add $2.4–$3.3 trillion to the deficit over ten years. Todd walks through spending boosts for defense and border security, rural hospitals, and nuclear programs, but also analyzes cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, green energy, and funding blocks for Planned Parenthood and state AI regulations. He addresses the heated debate over the CBO's static deficit scoring and Trump's claim that more growth, tighter welfare, tariff revenues, and private sector expansion could offset added debt. Scratch the surface: how will this affect the 2030 census, electoral power, and state budgets? With insights into the political fallout—Trump vs. Elon Musk on third‑party threats—Todd delivers smart, conservative analysis without the bitterness. Don't miss Todd's veteran take on this pivotal legislation.Key Takeaways:– Permanent 2017 tax cut extension– SALT deduction now up to $40K– Increased deductions for seniors, tips & overtime– Deficit blowout risk: CBO estimates $2.4–$3.3T in 10 years– Major defense, border, rural health investments– Harsh cuts on Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP– Restriction on Planned Parenthood funding via Medicaid– Federal preemption on state AI rules– Debate: static vs dynamic economic impact scoring– 2030 Census & electoral power tied to immigration policySponsor/Partner Links:Heart‑health supplement: [Soltea – use promo code TODD for 50% off + free shipping]Custom branding: [Red, White & Branded – code TODD for 10% off + free shipping]Values‑aligned investing: [48Financial.com/Todd – free assessment]Patriot‑friendly business directory: [FreedomMarketplace.net]
