Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, where today’s episode dives headfirst into the hottest political and cultural debates making waves right now. Tom is joined by Co-Host Producer Drew, RFK, and Candace Owens as they dissect everything from the controversial “Big Beautiful Bill” passing through the Senate to Elon Musk’s fiery reaction and push for a third political party. The team unpacks the mind-boggling $5 trillion debt ceiling hike, Elon’s crusade against runaway spending, and Trump’s eye-popping tweet that has everyone questioning where politicians’ allegiances truly lie.

But that’s just the beginning. We take you behind the scenes on Medicaid changes, challenges to Title IX, and the dramatic decision by UPENN to strip trans swimmers of their medals. Plus, you’ll hear about RFK’s explosive claims regarding the CDC and autism, Candace Owens recounting a surreal phone call involving Trump and international diplomacy, and Meta’s bold moves in the AI arms race.

Add to this a wild story from the Glastonbury Music Festival involving Bob Villain, and you have an episode stacked with big headlines, raw opinions, and deeper analysis you won’t find anywhere else.
