Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today’s episode, Tom sits down with journalist and foreign policy analyst Eli Lake for a deep-dive into some of the world’s most urgent geopolitical issues—and the surprising forces at play behind the headlines.
Together, Tom and Eli tackle persistent conspiracy theories around US-Israel relations, unravel the realities behind intelligence sharing, and dissect the complex dynamics of the recent Iran-Israel conflict. Eli brings historical context to anti-Semitic tropes, clarifies the roles different nations and intelligence agencies play, and explains why Iran’s nuclear ambitions matter to the global power balance.
As the conversation unfolds, they explore the upending of proxy networks in the Middle East, the ripple effects of military actions on democratic movements inside Iran, and what constitutes real success in modern warfare. Tom also pushes Eli to weigh in on divisions in American public opinion, the controversial legacies of recent US military interventions, and the evolving landscape of US foreign policy under President Trump.
You’ll get insight into behind-the-scenes strategy in the Gulf, how economic ambitions reshape regional alliances, and why hope for organic democratic change in Iran remains very much alive. If you’re fascinated by the intersection of history, politics, strategy, and the quest for global stability, you won’t want to miss this thought-provoking episode!

In today’s episode, Tom pulls back the curtain on the hard truths that shape our world, diving into the bloody history and cold calculations that drive geopolitics. Using the concept of “realpolitik” as his lens, Tom explores why nations act not according to ideals, but ruthless self-interest, and how this approach accurately predicts the cycles of conflict, power struggles, and shifting borders that have marked human history.
From Genghis Khan to today’s nuclear standoffs, Tom examines why humanity’s dual capacity for both devastating violence and breathtaking kindness continues to shape the fate of nations. You’ll learn the nine core tenets of realpolitik, see how power and survival instincts play out on the global stage, and discover why understanding the unvarnished reality of how nations operate is essential—not just for world leaders, but for anyone who wants to protect and thrive in today’s chaotic world.
But this isn’t just a journey through the darkness of history and politics. Tom also shows how culture, empathy, and pragmatism temper our most savage impulses, offering hope even amidst turmoil. By the end, you’ll have a clear-eyed framework for understanding global events, decoding market movements, and safeguarding your freedom in uncertain times.
Get ready to challenge your assumptions and build a worldview that actually works. This episode will change the way you see the world—and your role in it.

Why The Middle Class Is Disappearing - What's The Fix?
28 juin 2025 à 15:00
Tom Bilyeu says most of it is smoke‑and‑mirrors, and he’s got the receipts.
In this no‑BS breakdown, Tom lays out why the Federal Reserve’s endless money‑printing is the silent pick‑pocket of the middle class, how punitive taxes chase wealth (and jobs) offshore, and the single leverage point that actually boosts wages—rare skills.
What you’ll learn:
1. The six‑phase debt cycle that quietly erases middle‑class wealth and why killing inflation is step #1.
2. Why “tax the rich” slogans feel good but blow up government revenue when capital flees.
3. Wage math 101: the brutal link between the problems you solve and the paycheck you command.
4. How minimum‑wage hikes backfire by fast‑tracking automation (hello, AI cashiers).
5. The simple, hard path to a real raise: become so good they fear losing you.
Timestamps
0:00 Abolish the Fed or lose the middle class
1:36 Why the rich keep getting richer
3:47 The tax‑the‑rich boomerang effect
6:35 How wages are actually set
9:45 Minimum wage vs. automation smackdown
12:50 The only belief that matters for your wallet
If you’re tired of reheated talking points and want a roadmap that actually works, hit play.

The Real Fix To Stop Killing Games: MoistCr1TiKaL, Ross Scott VS PirateSoftware
27 juin 2025 à 16:00
In today’s clip from the Tom Bilyeu Show, we'll break down the Stop Killing Games movement, the flare‑ups between influencers like Ross Scott, MoistCr1TiKaL, Asmongold and Pirate Software, and the hidden economic forces that keep publishers reaching for the “OFF” switch.
Tom maps the cause‑and‑effect chain nobody else is talking about... from server‑cost realities to the perverse incentives baked into live‑service models.
What you’ll learn:
0:00 The roots of Stop Killing Games
2:11 Pirate Software's Take
6:40 Single‑player vs. MMO problem
9:14 Tom’s strategy to protect gamers
11:41 How open markets can reward devs
13:26 Tom’s game and standards for ownership
Key takeaways:
1. Narrow the fight to always‑online single‑player titles first—easy legal win.
2. Align developer incentives with lifetime player value, not day‑one sales.
3. Let indies fill the gap with feature‑complete, “buy once, play forever” experiences.

Welcome back to the Tom Bilyeu Show! I’m Tom, and this week’s episode is a whirlwind tour through one of the wildest stretches of news and culture we’ve seen in a long time. Alongside my producer Drew, we dig deep into the global headlines making waves—from the bizarre and chaotic end to the 12-day war between Israel and Iran and Trump’s headline-grabbing ceasefire announcement, to China’s explosive rise in cultural exports and gaming.
We don’t just skim the surface—we’re getting into the realpolitik that drives international decision-making (and why most people get it wrong), what Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination really says, and how Supreme Court decisions around deportation could reshape the landscape at home. There’s a lot happening domestically, too: we’re breaking down the surge in socialist-leaning policies in New York’s mayoral race, questioning if “free” is ever truly free, and tracing the roots of America’s current populist moment.
On the tech and relationship front, Drew and I react to the latest wave of AI-generated memories with deceased loved ones, what that might do to our sense of reality, and even a hot take on how to make straight relationships work in the modern era. Plus, with China dominating in gaming, we reflect on what it’ll take for America to recapture its creative edge.
This episode is jam-packed with hot takes, practical wisdom, and just enough laughter to keep things moving—so if you’re ready for some unfiltered analysis and real talk about the week’s craziest stories, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in!
