Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's riveting episode, Tom Bilyeu dives headfirst into some of the most pressing and controversial topics unfolding on the world stage and right here at home. From breaking down reports about former President Trump's provocative letter regarding Greenland, to unraveling the escalating tensions within NATO, Tom Bilyeu doesn't shy away from the complex dynamics of realpolitik and what it means when world leaders let personal grievances drive global policies. You'll also hear Tom Bilyeu tackle the state of American debt, the fragility of the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency, and the very real second-order consequences of international economic maneuvers. We then pivot to a heated discussion on the unrest in Minnesota, exploring the social and psychological underpinnings sparking protests, and what history teaches us about populism and cycles of conflict. But that's just the beginning. This episode also unpacks the rising call on both sides of the political aisle for prosecuting opponents, drawing a dire warning about the risks of mutually assured destruction in American politics. Plus, get an eye-opening analysis of government fraud, wasteful spending, and the machinations behind the scenes with programs like welfare and welfare fraud in Minnesota. And as always, Tom Bilyeu will challenge you to look beyond the headlines, question your programming as an “NPC,” and break the cycles that keep us divided. You won't want to miss this wide-ranging, deeply thought-provoking episode that asks: in an age of polarization, can we still find a path back to reason, virtue, and progress? Let's jump in.

He is also expected to share more about his plans to address America's affordability concerns, including allowing investors to use some of their 401(k) retirement funds to make a down payment on a house. Another issue that will loom large there is the potential for new tariffs and the president's pressure on allies to allow the US to take over Greenland. Marcus Lemonis, an entrepreneur and host of "The Fixer,” joins FOX Business Network anchor Taylor Riggs to discuss what he wants to hear from the President at Davos this week about tariffs and Greenland.

Let's talk about Trump's Greenland gambit being met with disapproval....
In this explosive breakdown, Tara unpacks what may be the boldest foreign-policy and energy strategy in modern U.S. history. From rare earth minerals and Chinese leverage to Venezuela's oil ports and the unraveling of OPEC, this episode lays out how sanctions, indictments, and energy dominance intersect. At the center of it all: a blunt declaration—the United States will control Venezuelan oil—and a global power shift that could kneecap China, collapse hostile regimes, and end America's dependence on the Middle East once and for all.

On this must-hear episode, Hard Asset Money Show host and economist Christian Briggs returns with sharp insight into one of the most impactful—and controversial—economic policy debates of our time: Are Trump's tariffs saving the U.S. economy or setting it up for a showdown with the Supreme Court? Briggs doesn't hold back as he breaks down how Trump's economic strategy is reigniting domestic manufacturing, narrowing the trade deficit to its lowest level since 2009, and spurring real wage growth—all while inflation plunges to levels not seen since pre-Biden.Speaking from both data and lived experience, Briggs draws on the dramatic transformation of America's auto industry—once gutted by globalization, now revitalized by Trump's America-first production mandates. Foreign automakers like Honda and BMW are investing billions into U.S. factories, pivoting under pressure from tariffs they can no longer afford to ignore. According to Briggs, it's not just about jobs; it's about sovereignty: “You want to sell to American consumers? You better build it here.”But the episode's most urgent moment centers on the looming Supreme Court decision on the legality of Trump's tariffs. Briggs argues that this isn't a partisan issue—it's about national financial survival. With the U.S. debt racing toward $40 trillion and interest payments eclipsing the defense budget, the tariffs, he says, were “an emergency tool in an economic war.” If the Court strikes them down, Trump already has a Plan B. But if they're upheld? “We're going to see 5–6% GDP growth—something Biden and Obama could never dream of.”Throughout the segment, host and guest both stress that the tariffs aren't just a policy—they're a battle cry for Made in America. From inflation and wage increases to trade balance and manufacturing jobs, the message is clear: Trump's economic playbook is working—and it's only just begun.With SCOTUS on the clock and the global economy in flux, this episode couldn't be more timely. Whether you're a policy wonk, working-class patriot, or just trying to understand the real story behind the headlines, this is the one podcast that explains how America could reclaim its financial future—one tariff at a time.

In this timely episode of The Alan Sanders Show (Ep. 008), we break down the escalating Iran uprising with death tolls soaring past 2,500 (and some reports claiming 12,000+), as the regime's brutal crackdown continues amid nationwide protests against the 47-year theocracy. President Trump ramps up his gambit with threats of military action, tariffs on Iran's trading partners and calls for protesters to persist, signaling potential U.S. intervention if killings don't stop. Domestically, we celebrate strong retail sales data showing a 4.1% holiday surge in late 2025, pushing totals over $1 trillion and highlighting resilient consumer strength heading into 2026. Plus, the fresh Secret Service leak scandal involving a VP JD Vance detail agent caught sharing sensitive security info on undercover video, raising major concerns about protection and trust. We wrap up with two of the Seditious Six in the cross-hairs of the justice system. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Never has so much been misunderstood by so many. In this episode, we break down what President Trump is actually doing in Venezuela—and why claims of “war” completely miss the point. From legally enforced sanctions and naval blockades to collapsing Venezuelan oil production and China's growing energy crisis, this may be one of the most consequential geopolitical maneuvers of our lifetime. This isn't regime change by bombs. It's power through courts, sanctions, energy leverage, and economic reality—executed entirely within the law. Is Trump building his own version of OPEC? Is China being economically cornered? And why does Venezuela suddenly have no choice but to comply? This is next-level strategy—and almost nobody is explaining it correctly.

In 1965, the US passed the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, the reason every pack of cigarettes has a warning label informing you about the potentially harmful effects. Since then, numerous regulations, educational drives, and taxation initiatives have made smoking less appealing and harder to do. In the contrarian wellness space, nicotine has become the alkaloid du jour. Forget cigs, this special chemical helps your energy, mood, and, at the far end of the influencer spectrum, treat cancer and autism—without that being medical advice, of course. And while nicotine has been shown to be potentially beneficial for a small range of issues, wellness influencers once again are sprinting the cart in front of the horse. Mallory DeMille returns to break down the latest wellness buzz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Belarusian pro-democracy activist Andrei Sannikov recently joined Beet editor Eilish Hart for a conversation recorded on the sidelines of the Halifax International Security Forum. The interview focused on the Trump administration's growing engagement with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, including efforts to secure the release of more than a thousand political prisoners. In these negotiations, Lukashenko has leveraged a tactic honed by his regime over decades of authoritarian rule. Sannikov knows the consequences of that system firsthand. He ran against Lukashenko in the 2010 presidential election, was badly beaten by riot police, and served time in prison after protests erupted over the rigged vote. From exile, he has watched Minsk turn prisoner releases into bargaining chips, trading a few high-profile dissidents for sanctions relief and then refilling the prisons with new detainees. Against the backdrop of Trump's second term and renewed U.S.–Belarus engagement, Sannikov warned that Washington risks falling into a familiar trap. While the White House celebrates diplomatic “breakthroughs,” Lukashenko continues to imprison more Belarusians than he frees, raising the unsettling question of whether outreach to Minsk delivers any real progress or merely legitimizes repression. Timestamps for this episode: (3:06) Trump's second term and Belarus relations(9:48) Lukashenko's role in the Ukraine war(11:17) The geopolitical impact of Belarus breaking isolation(15:13) The future of Belarus: Neutrality vs. alliances(21:52) The importance of political prisoners and democratic resistanceКак поддержать нашу редакцию — даже если вы в России и вам очень страшно
