Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris explore the breakdown of institutions in the digital age, and how difficult it’s become to identify what’s true and what’s not. Harris voices deep concern over the role independent media and social platforms play in amplifying misinformation, especially post-October 7th. They discuss the addictive, fragmenting nature of platforms like X, the erosion of trust in institutions, the dangers of AI-generated identity theft — and possible solutions. The result is a sobering analysis of epistemic collapse, digital psychopathy, and the urgent need for institutional structure in a world where mass information fails us.

Welcome back to the Tom Bilyeu Show! In this episode, I’m joined by my co-host Drew as we jump straight into the headlines and controversies shaking America right now—most notably, the recent immigration riots that sparked nationwide debate about law, order, and what holds our country together.
Before we get into the serious topics, Drew and I warm things up with some classic banter—everything from movies and workouts to jiu-jitsu—and then we get right into the complex issues at the heart of the news cycle. We talk about government power, media narratives, property rights, and the cultural clashes dividing the nation. I bring in some big-picture context, comparing these events to cycles seen in history, like the fall of the Roman Empire and the perils of late-stage empires, while Drew challenges me with important questions about compassion, resistance, and how marginalized groups are treated in times of upheaval.
Digging even deeper, we cover Ray Dalio’s warning signs about civil conflict, the dangers of runaway debt and economic instability, the rise of populism, and how easily societies can be manipulated when emotions run high. We don’t shy away from the messy, uncomfortable debates—like policing tactics, the responsibilities of leaders, and what it means to have shared values in a melting pot like America.
It’s a raw, honest, and sometimes fiery conversation—exactly the kind of discussion I think we need right now. If you want perspective, challenge, and a no-spin look at what’s really going on behind the headlines, you won’t want to miss this episode of the Tom Bilyeu Show.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today’s episode, Tom sits down for a third conversation with retired Navy SEAL commander, author, and leadership expert Jocko Willink. Together, they tackle some of the most difficult questions facing the world today—diving deep into topics like the evolving nature of modern warfare in Russia and Ukraine, the tragic and complex dynamics between Israel and Hamas, and the sobering realities of leadership both on the battlefield and in everyday life.
Jocko shares his unique, hard-earned wisdom on the unpredictability of war, the power of human will, and how psychological and cultural strategies often play as big a role as brute force. The conversation isn’t just about geopolitics—it also ventures into the values we pass on to our children, building resilience in the next generation, and the surprising intersection of creativity, discipline, and storytelling in Jocko’s own life, including how his work has inspired bestselling books and a feature film.
If you’re looking for unfiltered insights on leadership, character, and what it takes to thrive—in the military, in business, or as a parent—this episode delivers. Get ready for a deeply honest, wide-ranging conversation that will challenge your perspective and inspire you to step up as a leader, no matter what battles you’re fighting.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and entrepreneur Michael Saylor discuss how money, morality, and civilization break down. Saylor argues that fiat currency is not just flawed—it’s actively corrosive. He presents Bitcoin as the antidote: a form of pure digital energy, resistant to decay, inflation, and political manipulation. Through thermodynamics, theology, and history, Saylor paints a stark picture of civilizational entropy and proposes Bitcoin as the only incorruptible foundation on which a sustainable future can be built. If we don’t fix the money, he warns, everything else falls.

Welcome to The Tom Bilyeu Show! In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to tackle some of the most urgent and complex issues facing our world today. We kick things off with the explosive news of Ukraine’s successful drone strike deep inside Russian territory—a move that Russia is calling its own “Pearl Harbor”—and unpack what that really means for global stability and the escalating rhetoric surrounding nuclear threats.
From there, we don’t pull any punches as we dig into America’s controversial “big beautiful bill.” I break down why inflation and deficit spending isn’t just political theater but the backbone (and Achilles’ heel) of our entire economic system, and why both sides of the aisle seem trapped by its logic.
But we don’t stop with geopolitics and economics. Drew and I analyze everything from alleged Chinese bioterror plots on U.S. soil to the ethics of wartime escalation, how tech giants like Meta and Microsoft are playing the long game by locking down access to nuclear power, and even ask the big philosophical questions around morality, politics, and the way social media spins the narrative.
If you’ve ever wanted to understand how power, strategy, and human psychology intersect on the world’s biggest stages—or if you’re just looking to make sense of the madness behind modern headlines—you’re going to want to strap in for this conversation.
Let’s get into it!
