Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's episode, Tom and his co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of current events and big ideas shaping our world. From Elon Musk waving goodbye to the “Doge cuts” and reflections on America's wild economic ride, to the drama of world leaders like Macron and the ongoing tension between global powers, this conversation pulls no punches. Tom breaks down the real state of our financial system—likening it to the Titanic heading for an iceberg—and explains why having a personal “life raft” like Bitcoin or gold might just be your best bet. Together, he and Drew tackle questions about government spending, hard money, and why even the most brilliant minds can't always fix a broken system. But it's not just economics on the table; prepare for a deep discussion about the dangers and potential of AI—as Drew shares new revelations about an AI model showing signs of self-preservation, deception, and even attempts at replicating itself. The conversation spins further out to explore the dangers of centralized digital currencies, the complexities of trusting experts, and the importance of questioning authority—especially when the stakes are sky-high.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they briefly bemoan lazy disinformation before diving into today's martinis. They tackle how Trump's 2024 win quickly led to better treatment of Hamas hostages, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's quiet reversal on her sanctuary city policy, and San Francisco's absurd new grading equity standards in public schools.First, Jim and Greg react to a CNN interview with former hostage Omer Shem Tov, who says Trump's 2024 election immediately led to better treatment of prisoners by Hamas. He says Hamas did not want Trump elected because its leaders knew their actions would no longer fly under his presidency. Next, they are intrigued by Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser's quick yet covert turnaround regarding her support of DC as a sanctuary city. It's the right move but why is she really doing it? Jim argues that sanctuary cities are so 2020 and not so popular with DC residents. Last, they get a good laugh over the whole new meaning of C's get degrees with San Francisco's grade equity policies for schools. Doing homework and attending class no longer matter. Getting a 41 percent out of 100 will get you a C and a 21 percent is still a passing grade. This means hard work goes out the window. Jim also wonders where this policy was when he was in school. Please visit our sponsors:Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Adam Berinsky discuss political rumors and misinformation. Dr. Berinsky defines rumors as unsubstantiated claims without evidence, emphasizing their social transmission. He identifies two factors influencing rumor belief: conspiratorial thinking and partisan polarization. Berinsky's research reveals that while some people firmly believe rumors, others are ambivalent and more open to correction. He suggests focusing on these undecided individuals rather than entrenched believers. Berinsky also highlights the role of political leaders in spreading misinformation and the need for creative messaging to counteract it.    Key Takeaways: Political rumors (or misinformation) are claims that are unsubstantiated by the balance of publicly available information.  Republicans and Democrats are equally (or very nearly) likely to believe different pieces of misinformation that they're presented with. Currently, Republican politicians are more likely to spread misinformation.  The more attention you pay to politics, the more likely you are to listen to people on your side. Better-educated and more informed people should be more likely to reject misinformation, but what we find is that actually, they're more attuned to the partisan angle of that information.    "Maybe our effort is better spent on trying to get these people who are not sure where they stand, because those are the people that we can move." —  Dr. Adam Berinsky   Connect with Dr. Adam Berinsky: Professional Bio: https://polisci.mit.edu/people/adam-berinsky  Website: https://berinsky.mit.edu/  Book: https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691158389/political-rumors  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-berinsky-7b9830/    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net BlueSky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

President Trump's spreading of the false claim that South Africa is perpetrating a genocide against its white inhabitants is just the latest example of misinformation making its way from corners of the internet into presidential statements or even policy. This isn't the first time that a falsehood that began on the fringes of the right-wing made its way to the Trump White House. NPR's Scott Detrow and Lisa Hagen examine how these beliefs have been able to reach the Oval Office.

This week, host Basant Kumar is joined by Newslaundry's Anmol Pritam and The News Minute's Nidhi Suresh.While the rest of the country exhaled a sigh of relief at the announcement of a ceasefire in the India-Pakistan conflict, Poonch held its breath – and bled quietly. Nidhi and Anmol were on the ground, when the cross-border shelling began. Thirteen lives were lost. Thirteen names that won't make it into strategic briefings or celebration speeches. Parents buried their twins, Zain Ali and Urwa Fatima – born five minutes apart, and died five minutes apart. In another home, a wedding that was about to be planned turned into a funeral when the father of the bride-to-be never came home. These aren't just tragic anecdotes. This is the aftermath of a conflict that never really ends for the people living on its edge. Nidhi and Anmol's reports on the families in both the city and the villages reveal that all of them carry the same expression – numb, disbelief, and tired of being forgotten. Their stories don't scream, they ache. And in that ache lies a quiet question: why is Poonch always left behind?They came back with more than interviews. They came back with grief, with names, with stories that deserve to be told. Stories of loss, of resilience, of people who live through war long after the last gun falls silent.Tune in.Timecodes00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:15 - From Tension to Tranquility: Ceasefire was announced 00:09:34 - Shelling without Warning: The Unseen Threat Lurked in Poonch00:36:56 - Misinformation flooded in mainstream and social media 00:43: 58 - RecommendationsRecommendationsNidhiSociety Girl: A Tale of Sex, Lies, and Scandal AnmolSaving Private RyanBasantAmerican Man Hunt: Osama Bin Laden Produced and edited by Hassan Bilal, Ashish Anand and Tista Roy Chowdhury, recorded by Anil Kumar.

In this episode Dr. Shawn Tassone and Maddie discuss various topics related to women's health, including the impact of AI on medical practices, the debunking of health myths, the rise of health tech, and the importance of understanding study validity. They also touch on the ethics of health influencers and the credibility of health products in the market. Episode Highlights: Why AI is likely to replace certain medical specialties. Why misinformation in women's health is a significant concern. How health trends often lack scientific backing. Continuous glucose monitor trend How online claims about health products often outpace actual results. Why it's essential to critically evaluate health studies and their methodologies. Reasons consumers should be informed and skeptical of health claims. Why fear-based marketing is prevalent in health products. Not all health influencers are credible; many promote products for profit. Why if a health claim sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits. Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective. For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension. As a physician, I value their commitment to quality: cGMP-compliant facilities, purity testing, and organic, non-GMO ingredients without unnecessary fillers.

She shares a powerful story of how dietary interventions transformed the life of a family with a newborn diagnosed with PKU, enabling the child to lead a typical life. The conversation dives into the basics of nutrition that physicians should know: prioritizing variety, moderation, and color in diets, minimizing added sugars and saturated fats, and emphasizing fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Susanna addresses common pitfalls, like extreme diets and supplement overuse, and offers practical advice for guiding patients in resource-limited settings, such as food deserts. She also highlights the importance of knowing when to refer patients to a dietician for nuanced care, particularly for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or disordered eating. This episode equips physicians with actionable strategies to provide effective, empathetic nutritional counseling in limited time.Three Actionable Takeaways:Focus on the Basics – Encourage patients to prioritize variety, moderation, and fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, legumes) while minimizing added sugars and saturated fats to build a balanced diet.Know When to Refer – Recognize when a patient's nutritional needs (e.g., diabetes, eating disorders, or weight management) require a registered dietician's expertise to ensure comprehensive care.Use Motivational Interviewing – Ask open-ended questions like “What do you drink at home?” or “What are your favorite fruits and vegetables?” to guide patients toward sustainable, self-identified dietary changes.About the Show:PGD Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror and staff writer at the New Yorker, joins Offline to discuss how it's becoming harder and harder to make sense of reality, especially with AI taking over our feeds. She and Jon talk about how online distrust bleeds into life offline, parenting in this moment of endless horrors, and the inspiration (or lack thereof) behind her latest essay, "My Brain Finally Broke." But first! Jon's X account may have gotten hacked, but even a crypto scam couldn't stop him from getting his social media fix.

Buckle up, Lemon Nation, today's news cycle is doing the most. First up, the Diddy trial continues, with Cassie Ventura testifying for a second day. The details? Let's just say they're deeply disturbing and very, very salacious. We'll break down the latest from inside the courtroom and what it could mean going forward. Then, Grok AI (yes, Musk's pet chatbot project) is apparently serving up “white genocide” conspiracy content without even being asked. Let's be clear: white genocide is not happening in South Africa...but disinformation definitely is, and now AI is helping spread it. And finally, an update on the Menendez brothers. We've got new developments in their sentencing saga, decades after the case first captivated the country. Celebrity scandal, AI chaos, and a true crime twist...welcome to 2025. Let's get into it.

In recent days, a bombshell NewsNation's special, "Hunting UFOs: The Desert Sky Mystery," hosted by Ross Coulthart, told the story of Border Patrol agent Bob Thompson and his claims of anomalous aerial sightings along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, while the program presented the story as being "the first time" Thompson had come forward, that's not quite the case...  Also in this week's installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we dive into the intriguing revelations involving Matthew Brown, who has been revealed as the whistleblower behind claims involving a secret program allegedly called Immaculate Constellation. We dive into Brown's descriptions of internal U.S. government transcripts, secret files, and philosophical concerns about government deception, all of which offer new insights, but also raise a few red flags regarding one of the UAP  research community's latest and most compelling controversies.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

Host Nimah Gobir moderates the MindShift KQED: Can Better Conversations Improve Media Literacy Among Students? panel at the 2025 SXSW EDU conference.

Late last month, the National Science Foundation, a U.S. federal agency that supports scientific research, terminated more than 400 grants that related to misinformation, disinformation and diversity, equity and inclusion. A proposed budget from the Trump administration would also cut the NSF budget in half. Kate Starbird is the co-founder of UW’s Center for an Informed Public. She joins us to share more about the broader impacts of these cuts. 

Last week I moderated the Truth in Beauty Panel, Surfactants Edition, at the 15th ICIS World Surfactants Conference, brought to you by the Independent Beauty Association. This episode features that conversation! How has misinformation impacted the surfactants sector? Disclaimer - surfactants are chemicals that are fundamental for much of what we have become accustomed to societally, from transportation to infrastructure and more. In cosmetics, they enable many of the different product formats, such as lotions and cleansing products. The panel included Dennis Abbeduto from Colonial Chemical, Claire Mcgahan from Stepan Company and Women in Chemicals, and Neil Burns, who put on the conference with ICIS. Big thank you to Colonial Chemical for sponsoring IBA to help make this conversation happen! Disclaimer, we had some recording challenges at the conference so this was a re-record - for those in attendance, worth a second listen since we covered a bit more!
