  Let's talk about the moment your side hustle becomes a real business. Now, I see way too many founders stay stuck running their business like it's a hobby, and then they wonder why nothing ever feels real. It doesn't feel real because it's not. I've helped thousands of entrepreneurs build real businesses through Impact Theory University, and the first step in the path to building a legit business is registering it. And Taylor Brands will help you do just that in a few clicks. An LLC, a limited liability company, is an official business structure. It's inexpensive to form and very simple to maintain. It's how you open a business bank account. It's how customers know they're dealing with a real company. And Taylor Brands doesn't stop at the filing.

  Their dashboard tracks what comes next based on what your business actually needs. So EIN number, registered agent, licenses and permits, bookkeeping, business banking. I tell every founder the same thing. Just make it official. Click the link in the show notes to check out Taylor Brands and get started on your business today. This is a paid advertisement. What is up, everybody? Welcome to another episode of the Tom, Bill, you show live. We are locked and loaded today. The FBI raided the Fulton County election hub in Union City.

• 1:21Tom Bilyeu?

  People are not happy about it. This is tied to the election fraud. Reactions have been extreme. We're going to be going into that. The Fed has decided to hold raids very high. They are, in my opinion, pretending that they haven't already lost control of the economy, but they have, and we're going to cover the dramatic cause and effect of the fiscal dominance that we're all living in right now. Trump has announced his very surprising pick for the next Fed chair, and the market reacted hard. We'll go through that. Tom Homan is bringing a steady hand to Minnesota. He certainly has admitted that ICE had gotten out of control and that changes needed to be made. So we'll see if the continued cooperation actually plays out well.

• 2:04Tom Bilyeu?

  Speaking of cooperation, hundreds of thousands of Iranians are reportedly marching in the streets as a massive buildup of US troops in the region continues. Certainly seems like something is about to pop off and we're going to cover some of the details, including a cryptic message that Russia sent out about a potential strike that the US has already done on another one of Iran's nuclear facilities. Lots of rumors flying there. Don Lemon got arrested and Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito openly called for revolution, apparently considering 50 million people dead, not kidding, as an acceptable price to pay. We'll show you that clip, let you hear for yourself.

• 2:49Tom Bilyeu?

  And Candace Owens throws more shade at Erica Kirk as we put our tinfoil hats on in Conspiracy Corner. And by the way, we have alien talk today, like real live rumors about aliens. So we'll get into that. We'll get into that. I know it is a fan favorite. All right. Welcome, everybody. It's been a wild week.

• 3:07Speaker 01

  All right. We got to talk about Fulton County. For those that don't know, that's where Georgia was. It's a key swing state. I said that's where Georgia is. That's where Atlanta is. It's a key swing state. It was one of the deciding votes in 2020. Yeah, it's looking a real shady time.

• 3:20Tom Bilyeu?

  This is the center of all the hubbaloo, hubbaloo, hubbaloo, hubbaloo. That's the most Tacoma thing I've ever said in my life, but there it is. All the drama surrounding the 2020 election, Trump obviously just continuing to insist that everything was fraudulent, the election was stolen. And because, as Drew was saying, this is such an important swing state, I think this was the place where he was saying, go find me whatever, how many other thousands of votes that became very controversial. And on January 28th, in a very controversial move, the FBI executed a search warrant at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operations Center in Union City, Georgia, seizing physical

• 4:02Tom Bilyeu?

  ballots and all kinds of other records related to the 2020 presidential election. The move is obviously tied to ongoing investigations into Trump's claims that the election was stolen. Now despite Trump's claims, to be clear, so far, no widespread fraud has been substantiated in the courts or via audits. But the plot certainly thickens with this move because it would require a judge to find probable cause that something is going on. So theoretically, this stuff is not done willy-nilly, that they are presenting evidence as to why they think that this would be worthwhile, and they got a judge to say, yes, indeed, there is enough probable cause there for you guys to go in.

• 4:42Tom Bilyeu?

  Now, needless to say, the left and the right are locked in a battle to control how all of us see this move. The right sees it as finally getting to the truth, and the left sees it as a witch hunt. Now, the crazy thing from where I'm sitting is that watching the left, right now, in real time, they are attempting to plant seeds of doubt in the public's mind about Trump's admin gearing up effectively to tamper with the documents. We're going to show you clips, you can hear for yourself. Their argument centers around the president, the presence of DNI Tulsi Gabbard. All right, let's watch a clip. Her presence at the raid, being discussed on MS Now. I thought this was pretty wild.

• 5:25Speaker 02

  Yes, and based on that photo, at one point, she was in a truck with boxloads of what are apparently ballots, which means if she was alone, she is going to need to be on the chain of custody for those ballots, and explain to defense counsel why she was with them and what she was doing. And if there is a special agent in there with her, that special agent is going to be on the chain of custody, and is probably going to get asked by defense counsel, why on earth somebody was allowed to be with that evidence who is not a member of the FBI, nor on the chain of custody?

• 6:05Speaker 03

  So, Michael, let me interrupt you for just a second, and I'll ask you to continue, but we just literally got some information about why Tulsi Gabbard was there. This is per a Trump administration official. Director Gabbard has a pivotal role in election security and protecting the integrity of our elections against interference, including operations targeting voting systems, databases, and election infrastructure. She has and will continue to take action on President Trump's directive to secure our elections and work with our inter-agency partners to do so. What do you make of that explanation?

• 6:41Speaker 02

  Um, it doesn't pass the laugh test for anybody who's actually worked in this world.

• 6:47Speaker 01

  It doesn't pass the laugh test for anybody that worked in this world.

• 6:50Tom Bilyeu?

  You want to play this out like this is so before you hit play. Obviously, they're not going to just come out and say, we suspect that she's tampering with evidence. But if this is something I will often say to people on camera, off camera is people say words for a reason. They are trying to convince you of something. So these guys are saying a whole lot of words. They are trying to convince you of something. I would say the very thing they're trying to convince you of is that it's suspicious that she's there. Like they're not debating like, oh, this is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Like she should be back doing something else. They're saying it's suspicious, chain of custody. Why is she alone with the data? It's like they're planting seeds so that if something comes out of it, then the next step is, well, but the thing that came out of it is corrupt.

• 7:33Tom Bilyeu?

  They've obviously gone in and played with the data. So this is not somebody who's like, I really want to know what happened. This is a group of people that have a predetermined outcome that they want to make sure that we get to. And they will use narrative control to at a minimum, get people to believe that this is where we're at, even if the data, like the hard information leads us somewhere else. So anyway, let him finish his thought.

• 7:59Speaker 02

  Um, and there's a couple of reasons for that. First of all, this was collection of evidence. There is nothing there that cannot be reported to called Tulsi Gabbard. Once they have processed it, analyzed it, it may end.

• 8:15Tom Bilyeu?

  So if that's true, what's the problem? You know, she's going to get all the data.

• 8:18Speaker 02

  Again, it is unheard of for non-law enforcement personnel to take place in the execution of a search warrant.

• 8:26Tom Bilyeu?

  But why is it a problem?

• 8:28Speaker 02

  Secondly, this is a criminal investigation. It is looking at past conduct. Even if we believed that Tulsi Gabbard should be involved in law enforcement actions.

• 8:39Tom Bilyeu?

  Pause it for a sec. So she, she is the director of national intelligence. It's not like she, like if Bobby Kennedy were there or something and you're like, wait, why is he there?

• 8:49Speaker 01

  Why is the health dude?

• 8:50Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah, like that would be like, okay, like that one's weird. But she, we have entrusted her as a nation with the most sensitive information that we have. What are the global threats around the world? What are the threats we face internally? And so I get that she's not a member of the FBI, but if we understand that she is the hub of the most sensitive information that we have coming through the country, that she has been talking for ages about, look, Obama has been running like the Russia hoax, and they tried to subvert Trump's presidency, all of that, and this is tied to that, like, this is not surprising at all.

• 9:35Tom Bilyeu?

  Now, you may hate it, you may disagree, fair enough, but it's just the way that they're laying this out is strange. All right, let me, let me give you the, the facts here. So Democratic lawmakers, including Senator, Senators John Ossoff and Mark Warner and Representative Jim Heims quickly expressed concern, describing Tulsi's presence as quote unquote bizarre and alarming and potentially indicative of the intelligence community straying into domestic political matters. Again, if they were arguing this from a financial standpoint, I'd be like, okay, maybe, but they argue instead that DNI's focus should remain only on foreign threats, not hands-on involvement in FBI raids on US election facilities, and they have requested briefings to explain her role.

• 10:20Tom Bilyeu?

  So these are not people that are worried about getting to the bottom of whether our elections have integrity or not. These are people that have a pre-drawn conclusion, and they don't want anybody that could be messing that up. Now, as we heard in the clip, the Trump administration has defended Gabbard's involvement. Now, in regards to whether it's actually weird that she's there, it is. It's certainly unusual for a DNI to be physically present at an FBI evidence seizure, as the role is traditionally strategic and logistical rather than operational. However, if there's classified intelligence suggesting foreign actors, for instance, targeted Georgia's 2020 systems, or one of the other things that she's been working on, like I said, with Obama, it's pretty easy to justify her presence as legitimate oversight.

• 11:03Tom Bilyeu?

  The real question, for my money, is unless you're concerned about evidence being tampered with, which opens up a whole set of can of worms, why do you care who's present at the raid? Now, I understand Billy Bob from off the street getting to sit in the back with the documents by himself. That would be wacky, but this is the director of national intelligence. Everyone should want free and fair elections. If Trump is wrong, that will surface. Trump will have egg on his face and we can all finally move on. And if he's right, don't people want to know that our elections are being tampered with? I, I really cannot wrap my head around the fact that people don't want to know like what's really happening.

• 11:48Tom Bilyeu?

  I am literally up in arms about the fact that California has made it ill illegal to ask for ID at a voting place. That is the craziest shit I've ever heard in my life. That is like a kid, a three-year-old telling their parent, I'm not doing anything wrong. And they've got like chocolate all over their face. I did not eat a cookie, mom, but their just literal whole face is smeared with chocolate. It's, uh, there was another one that ICE Cannon Force around, uh, polling places. It's like, what, what, what are we doing? Like at some point, the way that you're behaving makes it obvious to me that the very thing you're trying to do is make sure that illegal immigrants can vote. So I'm not saying that's what happened in 2020.

• 12:33Tom Bilyeu?

  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I'm just saying the energy from the Democrats around voting integrity is so weird that every alarm bell I have goes off. And if I'm trying to do theory of mind and I put myself in their shoes, I'm like, what would they have to be protecting? So option one, I so distrust the Trump administration that I really do believe that they're in the back of the van stuffing ballots or planting the fraud or whatever. Okay, but if that's the case, her being at the raid is not your problem. Your problem is just say nakedly, these guys cannot be trusted. They're completely corrupt. They are going to fake all of this.

• 13:15Tom Bilyeu?

  And, um, no matter what's actually in those boxes, they're just going to fake it. Okay. Well, they're obviously not going to do that there on the scene. That would be the weirdest place. With the most cameras everywhere, you do that under the cover of darkness in a room that nobody knows you're in. So, but fine, if that's your hypothesis, put that forward, call it out. But instead, it's like you're planting seeds right now. This is narrative control. This is James Burnham all day. This is people will do whatever they need to do to alter the frame of reference of the people looking at the problem so they can maintain power. And this is so gross and so corrupt and just like, oh God, I really hate it. Taking a short break, but there's more Impact Theory after. Stay tuned.

• 14:01Tom Bilyeu?

  There's a reason Quince sells cashmere for $60, and it isn't the cashmere. It's real 100% Mongolian cashmere. It's the same stuff luxury labels charge a fortune for. Quince just works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middleman. So there's no need for a markup and no logo tax. The $60 goes to the actual sweater, not the fancy name on the tag. That's why everything they make runs 50 to 80% less. And it's not just the cashmere. I ordered a few things myself, their fleece joggers, a couple of their tees, which I wear obsessively. First thing I noticed was the quality. Soft, well-made, built to hold up. They make down

My team at Impact Theory gets hit with phishing scams from bad actors pretending to be me all the time. And they keep getting more sophisticated attacks with details specific enough to look legit.

• 16:23Tom Bilyeu?

  Thanks for staying tuned. Now let's get back to it.

• 16:26Speaker 01

  Fulton County Chairman Rob Pitts literally came out and said that. He was at the election warehouse. He now says that he no longer is feels safe and secure. He no longer thinks the ballots are safe and secure because they are now out of their control.

• 16:38Tom Bilyeu?

  Here we go. At least it's saying it.

• 16:40Speaker 04

  We don't know where they've been taken. We don't know what's going to happen to them. So we can no longer, and I can no longer share this void. Satisfy not only the citizens of Atlanta, but the citizens of the world. If those ballots are still secure. So that is a major concern.

• 16:59Tom Bilyeu?

  There it is. Well, welcome to the game of politics. So yeah, when you're in a populist moment and everybody's on a team and everybody suspects the other side. And nobody believes anything is as it is or should be, or as it's represented. You get into these death spirals of everybody distrusts everybody else. And yeah, it's, it is utterly fascinating. We long to put things in a box. And once you go the other side's the enemy. Cool. Nice box. Enemies lie, cheat, steal. Cool. Nice box. So now it's like, oh, they're Republican. Oh, enemy. Liars, cheaters, and I want to be very clear, both sides do this.

• 17:40Tom Bilyeu?

  It is, it is a part of the way that the human mind works. But nonetheless, like watching it play out is so obnoxious.

• 17:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm gonna be honest, the Democrats, they gotta, they gotta, they gotta eat this one. So y'all gotta just say, yes, we'll add voter ID. And just stand on it. And I know that Mammy in Alabama, who walks everywhere and hasn't driven since 1913, might not be able to vote no more. And I'm sorry Mammy, that you can't vote no more. But Democrats, I'm gonna tell y'all with my whole chest, the party that says, we're not Nazis, is shooting people in the street. And they're defending that. The party that's saying, we're not letting illegal immigrants vote, are now saying, what ballots? What are you talking about? No, we're cool. Just take, I'm telling you, you'll be okay. You'll, you'll lose a couple Mammy's and they'll be fine. But I think Democrats need to change their tone. Say, we're 100% with voter election, we're 100% of voter ID.

• 18:35Speaker 01

  We're okay with it. I want to say they're bending the knee. I want to say Trump gets that win. But let them feel good about this next election. So that way you have nothing else that you can then be bulletproof. But it's, I just think it's hilarious right now that the one party that says, we're, we're doing everything by the book, is now hiding up ballots, there's a bunch of fraud, there's a bunch of things kind of in their back pocket. And then the other team that's saying, no, we're, we're not Nazis, we're just trying to make the world a better place, is out here roughing up and shooting Americans. So it's, everybody's kind of licking in the face and becoming the thing that they judge. And I think right now, this is their opportunity to say, hey, you guys are auditing the 2020 ballots. Okay, cool. Back then, we felt, you saw some anomalies, cool. Although I did watch the rip this weekend, and you're supposed to count the drug money on sight.

• 19:18Speaker 01

  So if I go to a stash house and it's 20 million dollars, not, throw everything in the bag, and then we'll go back to the office and then count it. It's usually, okay, shut this whole thing down. I am the federal government, nobody, it comes in and out, let's lay these ballots out and let's audit it right here, right now.

• 19:31Tom Bilyeu?

  Interesting.

• 19:32Speaker 01

  That should have been kind of the thing in my perspective, but.

• 19:35Tom Bilyeu?

  Well, do we know that they didn't do that?

• 19:37Speaker 01

  They didn't because they loaded them up in that truck.

• 19:39Tom Bilyeu?

  So they didn't take an audit of the stuff?

• 19:41Speaker 01

  They did. They know just knew what they got.

• 19:42Tom Bilyeu?

  So that's gonna be like a quick violation.

• 19:44Speaker 01

  And that's why everybody's kind of getting in front of it and trying to cuss at me. But the big thing though, and this is what I really want to talk about, is this the Maduro part in, like, there's been some rumors that the reason that we took Maduro and we've been light on him is because he says he has inside information about the election interference. And that's why DNI Gabbard is there to maybe connect those dots that are maybe bigger than just, you know, somebody's scratch.

• 20:07Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah, this is the wild thing. I'm glad you brought that up, is the level of international interference that people are hypothesizing is very different than the likely international interference that's actually happening. Now, everything I'm about to say is all rumor and all conjecture, but I remember when election night happened, Elon Musk was at a party and he left the party early because he said, "I already know that Trump is going to win." Like, whatever they're reporting is so delayed compared to the data that he had. Now, nobody knew what he meant by that. A lot of people thought that he was involved in election interference. The rumors that have come out since, and maybe they've been verified, I don't know, but I'll report them as rumors because that's what they are in my mind. But it's my understanding

• 20:50Tom Bilyeu?

  that what he did do was he knew where the vote manipulation was coming from into, I believe, the electronic machines. And they were able to shut those down, like either a DDoS attack or I'm sure something far more sophisticated, but they were able to stop that. And so, once he knew he was able to stop the fake votes from coming in, then he was like, "Well, Trump's guaranteed to win now because it's only going to be real votes." Then you start getting all the rumors. Again, rumors, don't know that this is going to end up being true, but to your point about Maduro, there were claims from the Maduro regime that they knew or were involved in the manipulation. Now, the manipulation is

• 21:32Tom Bilyeu?

  almost certainly happening at the level of technology. So that, if all of that ends up being true, that Elon did in fact identify where the fake votes were coming from, if Venezuela was involved and Maduro is prepared to rat, then we may actually begin to peel a couple layers back and see that the interference, the manipulation is far more high level than certainly I thought, and I think a lot of people thought. A lot of people thought it was more just like Russia's doing this thing. Where it may be a far more coordinated effort. And then it becomes a question of, I guarantee if you've got like Russia and Venezuela coordinating,

• 22:14Tom Bilyeu?

  you're going to find an NGO connection in here somewhere because they're either they have a tremendous financial incentive just from a market level to see that happen in America. Or more plausibly, they're also getting immediate upfront payments. And the this is, you can just assume that my brain has been altered by Mike Benz. That the NGO complex has so much CIA infiltration in terms of actual people involved in NGOs, down to the strategies that they deploy. And so that they would turn that on America as we get into this highly divisive time

• 22:59Tom Bilyeu?

  where everybody's on a team, each team hates each other.

• 23:03Tom Bilyeu?

  You can see how it'd be like, oh yeah, we know that these tactics work. We'll use it to not, in their minds undermine America, but to undermine the other side so that the rightful team can get into position. And so I don't care who ends up being found out in that. I want to know if we've got people in the government doing that, we need to know like aggressively, aggressively. So anybody that has a favorite candidate or whatever and doesn't want that to come to light, they can fuck right off like that. That's one of those things where people do not have a sufficient level of hatred for the fact that we are controlled from the top down by, and I can go into this if

• 23:47Tom Bilyeu?

  it's probably not the right time, but we're controlled from the top down by a group of elites. It's, it is a knowable mechanism by which that happens. Because they're honestly, they're operating at a different level of way to interface with society. And so, you know, most of the time we'll say, you know, most Americans just, they want to get along. They want to raise their kids. They want to fall in love, like they want to progress in their life. And that is true. But there's a group of people that understand the mechanisms by which humans interact with each other. And they're able to step outside of the anthill of all of us going about our daily lives. And the social media age, while it creates a lot of noise, it also creates a ton of visibility into how those mechanisms actually work.

• 24:32Tom Bilyeu?

  And there's a really, really great book by Neil Ferguson that gets at the the almost banality of the way that this works. It's about the Rothschilds. And when you see how they organized banking, one of the rules that the father understood was he said, you all have to befriend politicians. And he was like, that's just how you're going to get all of this done. And so it's like, you begin to understand that society operates on these layers. Most people think about their boss, like my boss is all this influence on my life. Yes, in like the local, but as you start backing up and think about something like the Federal Reserve,

• 25:17Tom Bilyeu?

  the Federal Reserve controls so much more of how the planet operates that your boss is stuck inside of that system. And so, once you realize, oh, I have to get outside of the way that I think about the world regionally. And I have to think, okay, what are the forces that govern how economics works? To make it very simple, because economics ultimately controls everything else. And so, that's where it's like, okay, you don't hate that enough. You're not mad about that enough. And you certainly don't understand it enough. And so, once you begin to understand that the, the wrong way to think about that is the wolves howling and like, oh, it's this dark conspiracy and it's cinematic

• 26:01Tom Bilyeu?

  and it's Eyes Wide Shut, the right way to think about it is, there's just a set of people that interface with the world at structural influences. Money is the easiest one to talk about, so we'll stick there. Politics is another one. And so, when you actually understand how money works, if you understand money and you're in those rooms and you've got all those connections, then all of a sudden, man, it's like, there might be 150 people, full stop, total, out of the eight billion, might be 150 people that control economic policy globally.

• 26:41Tom Bilyeu?

  Imagine you know all 150. So it's like now all this, it's not like they're all gonna agree. But it's like you're in the room, you know, the people and you know, the mechanisms by which this stuff works. And so that's where I'm like, we don't hate that enough. We don't demand enough accountability at that level. This is why I'm so freaked out by the WEF is it's like, that's just them. That whole group of people getting together, dictating policy and feeling so right. They just put that shit out in the open.

• 27:09Speaker 01

  And saying it out loud.

• 27:10Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah, like thank God, right? But still, it's like the fact that they openly go, the world is a controllable thing. We're going to control it. We're going to migrate it in this direction. And then there's like almost a helplessness to everybody else who really is just dealing with their life locally.

• 27:32Speaker 01

  Money and politics, that's the first thing. Until that like unwinds, we're never going to have clear cut politicians, clear cut policies, clear cut nothing.

• 27:41Tom Bilyeu?

  That's very true. And I wonder though, so given the ironclad law of oligarchy, which says, and I think is accurate. No matter what, you will always have a small group of elites who run the thing, the world, yes. Your country, yes, banking, yes, your household, yes. There's always going to be in whatever group, there's going to be a small group of people that lead and pull everybody along. So it's like, okay, in a world where everybody's got a camera all the time, but most people are too distracted. And so they don't have the ability to completely eject out of the narrative. Because the narrative is

• 28:21Tom Bilyeu?

  the simplification of a wildly complicated world. So it's like, just give me the simplified version and then I'll know how to think through everything. So just tell me, how do Democrats think again? How do Republicans think again? Cool, then I just, that's how I think. And so now I don't have to think through all of that. I've got my team, I've got my marching orders and I'm good to go. And so. If the people at the top know that that's true and they know that social media is going to give you 10,000 narratives, so everybody's really going to hunger for just like simplify mind, but now there's a whole bunch of variants. It's like we become ironically easier to control, but I think that there is an opportunity in all of that for people to, if they're willing

• 29:04Tom Bilyeu?

  to spend the time to build their own worldview based on cause and effect, you can start to eject out of this. And if I can, I know that the way that people see me is so inaccurate that they're not going to understand the following statement. Because I've started learning about the physics-like forces that influence economics, my rate of return from when I first got wealthy to now is dramatic. Because I have learned, oh, there's structural forces here. You can't know the outcomes and there's always risk. And one of the things that I spend the most time for is

• 29:49Tom Bilyeu?

  just going, I can't see the future. So I need to like spread my risk out. But it is, it's wild to think that simply thinking obsessively about cause and effect, structural forces, that it's had this transformative impact on my ability to increase my wealth, just really, really trying to get people to focus on that because it will have dramatic impacts on your, on the tangible things in your life. We're hitting pause for a moment, but there's plenty more ahead. So don't go anywhere. You're probably paying two salespeople to do one

• 30:29Tom Bilyeu?

  salesperson's job. That's where today's sponsor, Pipe Drive, comes in. An intelligent AI-powered sales CRM loved by growing sales teams. Pipe Drive just launched meeting intelligence built right into the CRM. Before every call, it pulls deal history and past conversations into one brief. During the call, it records and takes notes. After it, it drafts your CRM updates to review and approve. So there's less admin and more selling. Switch to a CRM built by salespeople for salespeople and join the over 100,000 companies already using Pipe Drive. My link gets you an exclusive 30 days free instead of the usual 14 day trial.

• 31:29Tom Bilyeu?

  Thanks for sticking around. Let's get right back into the action.

• 31:33Speaker 01

  Well, somebody else learned about cause and effect this weekend. Don Lemon, because now he's in jail. He was taken into federal custody last night in Los Angeles while he was covering the Grammy Awards. That'll be ironic if they arrested him while he was like in the suit.

• 31:46Speaker 01

  This is interesting. We're going to get into the who's who's and should should have could have woulds and things like that. But specifically for Don, I'm not a fan of Don. I'm not team Don. Don is press though, and typically press is exempt from the same type of rules. If there's a protest happening downtown, press is covering on the side. You can arrest all the protesters, but you wouldn't then arrest the press on top of that. It seems like those laws, those worlds are now starting to become blurred. Do you think that this is a violation of the First Amendment? Or is it one of those things that he effed around and found out?

• 32:20Tom Bilyeu?

  To me, this is a question about what the laws are around private property. So you've got a church. I, I will say whatever the law is, people need to understand if you're protesting something, you absolutely have a right to protest. But there are limits to where, when, how you can do it. And so I, not knowing the laws about whether they can go into a church. And I hear that there's a law, the FACE law or something like that. That was originally designed, I think, to stop the KKK from doing something. I definitely do not have the details here. We'd have to look it up. But so if there's a law on the books that says you cannot go into a church and do all that stuff. Then yes, it becomes a question of did he know that this was about to happen? And was he actively involved in it versus simply documenting it?

• 33:04Tom Bilyeu?

  And so if he violated the law, and this is a policy that applies to everybody ever since that law was passed, then whatever, he fucked around and found out. However, the First Amendment is the most important thing that makes up America. And people ignore the First Amendment at their peril. So I would say if this is a tie, do we want the tie to go to the runner? Or do we want the tie to go to the government? I would say you want the tie to go to the runner. Like, I would rather somebody get away with, because as far as I know, they, um, they were not violent inside of the church. Now, it's my understanding that they blocked stairways and things like that.

• 33:47Tom Bilyeu?

  And so the people that did that, that were, um, basically separating parents from their children, which is the thing that I said, cool, arrest those guys. But if Don Lemon did not go block a staircase, then just like my take would be on January 6th, that if you were violent, lock them up. If you were not violent, then what the fuck are we even talking about? So, um, now again, same thing. If, if there is a law that says you may not enter the Capitol Building unlawfully or whatever, and it meets the definition of unlawful, then yes, you charge them with whatever that is, trespassing, whatever. You certainly do not, in my opinion, ramp that up to insurrection or whatever. Just like, I do not want to see people in Minnesota met with insurrection. I want to take each one of these things individually.

• 34:31Tom Bilyeu?

  If you use your gun inappropriately, problem. Uh, if you are violent towards officers, problem. But if you are simply there yelling, screaming, but it meets all the criteria for a protest, great, no problem. I don't think there should be some blanket edict. So that's how I feel about, without knowing all the details about the church thing that Don Lemon was involved in, um, I would much rather see there be leniency for anybody that's on the bubble than to say, no, lump them in. Because it really, this is a motion on my part. It feels like people that lean right just hate Don Lemon. And so they want to see bad things happen to Don Lemon. I fall in the camp of, these are all policies. And the people that hate me are one day

• 35:14Tom Bilyeu?

  Going to leverage these policies and so I don't want those policies leveraged against me when I'm the one who's like no, no, no, we really need to make noise about this thing that I care about that I think is A big enough deal to go and do this thing and so um I just feel like people are blind to that with all the calls for arrests and lock them up and all that shit so I don't um share that read on society I think think at the level of policy.

• 35:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think that's a great point um because I think on the wider scheme of things talking with just any everything that's going on in Minnesota. People are saying this person did a thing. They deserve what they got and I'm talking both about Alex Peretti and uh Alex pretty pretty and Don Lemon as well. Where it's like I hate Don Lemon, he should be in jail. Where it's like, okay, you don't like Don Lemon, that's cool, whatever like that, but okay, now let's say Nick Fuentes was outside of a protest in the same situation they arrested him. Then you're gonna be crying and call it, you know what I mean? So it's like, don't say you like the policy when it's somebody that you hate because when it's somebody you love, that policy is still intact, that policy is still valid. They can still do this. If it was Alex Jones in that church, would you guys be feeling the same way that you feel now? And if the answer is maybe no, a little bit different, then you don't

• 36:22Speaker 01

  Like the policy, you just don't like the person and those things, two things are different. And then even with this uh new release of the video with pretty like kicking out the taillights and stuff like that. That was a dirtbag move. You see, he's a dirtbag. Yes, you shouldn't be doing that. That's foul. You spit on people. That's like a deal breaker. If you ever spit on me, it's like, don't spit on me and don't hang up on me. Like, those are the two things.

• 36:41Tom Bilyeu?

  Oh damn.

• 36:42Speaker 01

  If you hang up on me, I'm never calling you back. I will never call you. Like, it's so disrespectful. But it's one of those things, it's one of those things that like If you hang up on me, that doesn't mean like, yes, now you deserve to die. Do you know what I mean? So I feel like you can still be a bad, you can still be a POS, I can still hate you. But your civil liberties don't get to, you don't get to get to be removed. Like, I hate Don Lemon, but he still, I'm not gonna say Don Lemon is not allowed a First Amendment, right? I don't think Alex pretty should have been like stomping on the car, but I still don't think he should have like got shot 10 times.

• 37:09Tom Bilyeu?

  Right.

• 37:10Speaker 01

  You know what I mean? And I just think this scale of like, I don't like this person, so yes, keep being mean to them, keep doing it, keep doing it. And then you don't realize to your point in four years, eight years, 12 years, whenever we flip the board. Everything you hate about this one person is gonna be due to somebody that you love and how are you gonna feel? In that moment.

• 37:25Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah.

• 37:26Speaker 05

  Speaking of policy, real quick, Marusha Dark brought up the KKK Act, which was from 1871, which means you can't organize to violate people's civil rights, including the right to worship. So that's probably what they're arresting about.

• 37:38Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah, I mean, listen, that encapsulation sounds pretty damning for what they were doing. Now, they're gonna say, no, no, no, it wasn't about interrupting their right to worship. This was about a guy that was all about ICE. This is about finding a public figure, somebody who's prominent and, you know, really making noise around that. And the fact that it interrupted worship is incidental. And so that'll, the legal argument will go something like that. But if the policy says you can't interrupt worship as one of the things, then well, fuck around and find out. So, uh, yeah, but again, think of this stuff at the level of policy, regardless of whether you hate that person or not, like Don Lemon, it just makes my skin crawl.

• 38:21Tom Bilyeu?

  There is something about the way that he interprets the world, that the way that he talks, like, it just winds me up. He does not seem like somebody who's gracious or wants to understand people. So, but whatever, but at the same time, I just go, Don Lemon is an avatar for me. So there are people that feel about me the way that I feel about Don Lemon. So now it's like, oh, if that policy is,

• 38:46Tom Bilyeu?

  again, if he violated the law, just as if I violated the law, then I should get punished for doing so, and he should get punished for doing so. But when it comes to First Amendment, I would say you, you want to err on the side of letting people go a little farther than you're comfortable with. Because it will come back around to you.

• 39:06Speaker 01

  Yeah. I was looking for this clip, I cannot find it. Tom Homan spoke yesterday in Minneapolis, and I've never felt like I needed an adult in the room more than I did listening to him speak. He was metered, he was firm, he wasn't partisan.

• 39:22Tom Bilyeu?

  You needed, uh, he was the adult in the room?

• 39:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, yes, he like, I feel, I feel like we finally got the adult in the room. Like, like, he was like, yeah, what do you mean? We're definitely gonna deport people. I'm not gonna tell you legally they can stay here. No, absolutely, we should do that. Um, but I also know that if I Work with the jails. I don't need 15 officers outside in the middle of the street either. I can have one officer going right to a jail. So it was just like, okay, I can turn down the rhetoric and still do my job. I don't need all this noise. And he held some of the like politicians accountable, but what did you think about the home speech?

• 39:49Tom Bilyeu?

  I I loved it. I felt exactly the same. He is, what's interesting is to compare him to bovino. Bovino has that like, I hate it when people do this. I mean this literally in terms of affectation. He has that Hitlerian quality of riling people up from an emotional standpoint. Whose fucking city is this? Right? Like, I don't know if this might be the one. Like if, just play this real fast. You you will see what I mean.

• 40:15Speaker 06

  Everybody fucking gets it if they touch you. You hear what I'm saying? Less legal. Uh, we're gonna look at shipping tractor trailer loads of that shit in here. So you catch what I'm, it's all about us now. It ain't about them. Professional, legal, ethical, moral. You know what we're talking about. Legal, ethical, moral. You're on camera. But other than that, it's what we do.

• 40:38Speaker 01

  I don't care.

• 40:41Tom Bilyeu?

  That that's the whole thing. Whose city is it? It's our fucking city. So I mean, listen, he doesn't have Hitler's charm as weird of a sentence as that is to say. But he is, he's got that same attitude. I want to rile you up emotionally. I want to send you in. He's like a football coach. It's like, we're gonna fucking kill these guys. Like, let's go. Like, don't violate the rules. No yellow flags, but like, if you can fucking grab their nuts when they're on the bottom of the pile, nobody sees it. Like, that's the vibe that I get here. Speaking of which, I know former NFL players. Can you believe when they're piled up like that, guys will try to jam their finger in the other guy's ass? For real. Like, when I say, okay, these are people that played in the NFL at the highest.

• 41:24Speaker 01

  There's more to this story.

• 41:25Tom Bilyeu?

  No, no, no. They try, they, they try to like do the most underhanded shit to each other when they're in those fucking dog piles.

• 41:33Speaker 01

  Oh, oh, oh, when they're on top.

• 41:35Tom Bilyeu?

  When they're tackling, like, fucking get that guy up. And they're like, you know, saying shit to the running back or whatever, like trying to make him never want to carry the ball again. And I was like, god damn. So anyway, this guy gives me those vibes. So Homan is like the exact opposite of that. Homan has enough politician in him, but also feels like the kind of guy that's like, I just want to be left alone to do my job, like doesn't have aspirations to become the president or whatever. So he's got the ability. He's a steady hand. He's not easy to sway. He's got a sense of this is what we're doing and it's we're doing this because it's the right thing to do and understands why he does what he does and is just gonna push forward. Now, obviously, if you disagree with his politics,

• 42:19Tom Bilyeu?

  I don't expect him to be a popular figure, but he's not going to be divisive the way the bovino, who's like all id, all emotion, rile people up, go out there, get them, this is our city, fuck those guys. Like, that's such a different energy than somebody who comes in and is like, listen, we're Americans. We have a job to protect the citizens of this country. This is a moral obligation, but illegal immigrants are human and they need to be treated humanely. Now, as far as I know, he didn't say those things, but I'm just saying, like, that kind of energy is very different than this is our fucking city, go get those guys. So it's nice to see the switch and I expect a dramatically different result because of it.

• 43:00Speaker 01

  Agreed, yeah. And he said he, um, he had conversations with both the mayor and the governor, so hopefully, and AGs, hopefully this calms tensions down in Minnesota and people can leave and go home and we can stop this nonsense. Cause they've been doing all this and it's been like negative 17 degrees outside. So I don't even know how you still protest when it's cold.

• 43:18Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah, wait till it warms up. Like, I was saying this before, if this had happened in the summer, oh my god.

• 43:25Speaker 01

  Alright, a lot happened with the Fed yesterday. I don't even know where we want to start. Because Trump dropped his nomination, the Fed kept the rate steady.

• 43:35Tom Bilyeu?

  Let's start with the Fed.

• 43:36Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 43:37Tom Bilyeu?

  Because this, I think, is ultimately the bigger thing and then we'll get into Trump's nomination, which is pretty surprising and I think there's a lot to talk about there, but the honest truth is the Fed has lost complete control over the economy. But they're pretending that they're still in charge. Per Powell's recent announcement, the Fed will be holding rates steady as Trump promises to replace Jerome Powell with someone who will finally, in Trump's mind, lower rates. Now, as I've said many times, the Fed is damned if they do and damned if they don't. So rates are going to go down and inflation is going to go up. My core thesis goes like this: we are in fiscal dominance.

• 44:21Tom Bilyeu?

  Fiscal dominance means the Fed has lost control. Jerome Powell, when asked directly, wouldn't even comment on the fact that the dollar just hit a four-year low. He was basically like, "I don't even care." It was so wild because he can't. He can't comment on it. The reality is that the national debt has taken over. The debt and the required interest payments are going to dictate monetary policy. Let me say that again. The debt and the interest rate are going to dictate monetary policy. It's not going to be the Fed, no matter who Trump puts in position, by the way. We are now entering the endgame of a multi-decade debt bubble that, within the next 10 years,

• 45:06Tom Bilyeu?

  my best guess on the math, will bankrupt America. The recent surge of gold, past 5,000, and silver past 100, is the global financial market finally pricing in the inevitability of American sovereign debt becoming a crisis. Okay? The inevitability of that. If there is a crisis of some kind, things could unwind even faster than the 10-year mark. So, in my own mind, I think of this as sometime between today and 10 years, we will find ourselves in a sovereign debt crisis. I very much doubt it will be that fast, but if there's a crisis, it can move very quickly. If there's not a crisis, we'll just see a gradual decline until everywhere looks like

• 45:51Tom Bilyeu?

  Minnesota and America tears itself apart from the inside. And this is the important part, because I know people think I'm being bombastic. That is what all empires before us have done. All of them have either ended like...

• 46:06Tom Bilyeu?

  Britain ended up in World War II, so it played out differently, but I hope we can say that World War II is a pretty brutal price to pay for the end of your empire. Now, unless we ourselves end up in a war with China, we can expect this to be playing out at the level of just a loss of international confidence in the US to be able to pay back its debts, which means there will be a smaller appetite for debt. All right, but let's set aside war with another country aside for now. And let's always remember that no matter what we're going to talk about here today, because I know people, I don't feel doom and gloom inside. So I want to make sure you guys aren't operating from that perspective. You can always protect yourself and your family as best you can.

• 46:50Tom Bilyeu?

  No one can see the future clearly, but there is cause and effect here. Goes like this, we are in a debt trap. The US national debt is now over $38 trillion, and it has reached a point where interest payments alone are consuming an ungodly portion of the federal budget. It's the second largest item on our federal budget. Okay, it's bigger than the military, at least until Trump bumps it to 1.5 trillion. Then, hey, it would drop back down to the third largest item. The government cannot afford higher for longer interest rates without total insolvency. Okay, again, we're up against mathematical forces. So the thing that Trump is trying to do is lower rates in the short term

• 47:33Tom Bilyeu?

  to buy himself time for AI and all of the investments that he wants us to believe are being made in America and the deregulation to pay off and we grow our way out of this. And I won't say it's not possible, but I will just say it would be a historic. You might buy yourself a generation, maybe. And I know that is wonderfully exciting, but I would put that at very low odds. Therefore, the Fed has to capitulate.

• 47:58Tom Bilyeu?

  They're not going to want to. Powell is going to want to keep rates high. But the political pressure will mount until finally they do. Or Powell will simply be replaced in May. Now, hiding in that phrase, "The political pressure will mount", is a very important idea because you won't see that as clearly in the math. But once you understand populism, then you understand what ends up happening is, I literally mean, everywhere starts to look like Minnesota. Remember, I believe Minnesota is an economic problem. Minnesota is not just about immigration.

• 48:38Tom Bilyeu?

  It's about populism rising in the face of a global K-shaped economy. I think it would have remained a fringe thing had the global K-shaped economy not taken over. So, don't think of the Fed as being confused. They just can't say what they're actually thinking. The markets spook way too easily. So, I think Powell understands all of this. Like, if he and I were sitting here, he would argue, he would have, and I'm sure, very good points. But the reality is that he can't say all the things that he believes to be true because markets respond crazily to news. I know we've all heard that buzz about you sell the news. But man, when you realize just how volatile news makes the market,

• 49:22Tom Bilyeu?

  the Fed has to choose their words very carefully. So, you're not seeing a representation of what Jerome Powell or what the Fed actually thinks. You're seeing the version they believe that they can present to the public, which give like little winks and nods to where they're actually going. But to prevent a government default and, quite honestly, a banking collapse, the Fed understands that they have to return to quantitative easing. And in fact, they already have via something that's being dubbed stealth quantitative easing. And this stealth quantitative easing devalues the dollar.

• 49:57Tom Bilyeu?

  Now, instead of calling it quantitative easing, the Fed is using a technical term called "reserve management purchases." They claim that this isn't stimulus, that's just meant to boost the economy. They're calling it a "technical fix" to ensure banks have enough cash in reserves to keep the plumbing of the financial system from freezing. As of right now, literally right now, today, the Fed is, right now, today, creating $40 billion in new money every month to buy short-term Treasury bills.

• 50:34Speaker 01

  Money machine go burr.

• 50:35Tom Bilyeu?

  Money machine is smoking. It's going burr. $40 billion a month, man. This is wild. By focusing on short-term bills that are maturing three years or less rather than long-term bonds, the Fed argues they aren't trying to manipulate long-term interest rates. Let's be clear. Everything the Fed does is meant to manipulate the market. That is the design of a central bank, literally. Whether they will say it out loud or not, the only reason to create a central bank is to be able to smooth out the pain and suffering. So that you don't get these acute crashes, you don't get acute bank failures, that you don't get 1929. But the price you pay for that privilege is a K-shaped economy.

• 51:19Tom Bilyeu?

  So in any one moment, it feels awesome. Everybody's protected. But over the long run, it creates what we're living through. Now, whether it's a three-month bill or a 30-year bond, the Fed is creating money out of thin air to buy government debt, okay? That just is what's happening. And that is, by definition, quantitative easing. Now, with the national debt over $38 trillion, the Treasury is flooding the market with new bonds to pay its own bills. There aren't enough private buyers already to soak up all the debt that we have to deal with without interest rates skyrocketing. Remember, interest rates skyrocket because people don't want to buy the debt at the current return that they're going to get.

• 52:03Tom Bilyeu?

  So that return goes up and up and up and up and up and up and up, and the money becomes more and more and more and more and more expensive. And so for the US government to pay the interest on its own debt, it becomes more and more and more and more expensive, and that's exactly how we will bankrupt the country, okay? Maybe it doesn't happen in a year, maybe it doesn't happen in five years. But like I said, there's nothing on the horizon. Other than promises that will stop it from happening within the next 10 years. Now that it from happening is when you go bankrupt, you don't technically go bankrupt. You just keep printing your money. So now you end up doing a soft default, but that soft default makes that K-shaped economy get absolutely insane and only the ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra wealthy can afford a stick of gum. I mean, it gets insane.

• 52:46Tom Bilyeu?

  This is where people are wearing the flower sacks as dresses, which actually happened in the 1930s. So by purchasing the treasuries through this program that we were just talking about, it's called RMP. The Fed keeps interest rates down and thus keeps the government's borrowing costs from exploding, effectively acting as a backstop for the treasury's overspending. And voila, you steal from everyone. You keep deficit spending like crazy and people with the right basket of assets just keep getting richer until the music stops, the currency hyperinflates, or we find ourselves in full-scale war or revolution.

• 53:26Tom Bilyeu?

  Now, the great irony here is after years of trying to shrink their balance via quantitative tightening, the Fed's balance sheet is once again growing, meaning they're buying up all these assets. And anytime the balance sheet is expanding, you are inflating the currency. Now, unlike in 2008, which was a localized crisis in housing and banking, this is a currency crisis. Okay, imagine hearing that with alarm bells, flashing red lights, me jumping up and down, screaming, flipping over the table. A currency crisis is a totally different ballgame than a sector problem, even a sector as big as housing or banking. Okay, this is the absolute foundation of everything.

• 54:11Tom Bilyeu?

  In 2008, the dollar was still a safe haven. Today, the dollar is the asset that people are fleeing. And by people, I largely mean the central banks around the world. They no longer want to hold US debt. They don't want to hold dollars. What they want to hold is gold. And that's why gold and silver, things like that are hitting record highs while the dollar index drops. Now, as the dollar weakens, the cost of imports and energy will spike, leading to persistent inflation. And when you combine this with a cooling economy, you risk something called stagflation. Stagflation is when your wages are flat, but things are getting more expensive. In short, the government is printing money to pay interest on its debt,

• 54:56Tom Bilyeu?

  which is destroying the dollar's value. And the soaring price of gold is the fire alarm that's signaling that the world is losing faith in the entire US financial system. And people do not understand just how much of our lifestyle is predicated on debt. You've got consumer debt, massive. It's how we fund our lifestyles. All those credit cards that you're able to max out. You've got corporate debt, how we're able to build all the AI infrastructure. We've got federal debt, how we're able to pay for entitlements, the military, the roads, all of that stuff. And we have gotten so ridiculous. Oh, and by the way, the fraud, we have to pay for that.

• 55:39Tom Bilyeu?

  We've gotten so ridiculous at our deficit spending. We've let that get so out of control that every year we stack another two trillion dollars to our national debt. We are going to have to balance our budget. Now, we're not going to, that's the bad news. But if we don't, and we keep doing what we're doing, which apparently is the plan, K-shaped economy runs out of control. And eventually, America has to hyperinflate its currency to be able to drive the value of the debt down so far that they can pay it off easily. Because remember, your debt is just a set number of dollars. And so if you print more of those dollars, then you can just pay it off.

• 56:21Tom Bilyeu?

  And what ends up happening is you pay it off by destroying your own currency. And so it is an it's an dishonest way to default. You're still defaulting, which is why I call it bankruptcy. You're still defaulting, even though you technically paid it off. But you paid it off by draining the purchasing power of the dollar. It's no bueno.

• 56:43Speaker 01

  It's the most noble trap, but yet I feel like we're about to walk right into it.

• 56:48Tom Bilyeu?

  I'm not going to give you that it's a noble trap. I think that

• 56:55Tom Bilyeu?

  We're all stuck in the human mind works in a certain way. I don't think that people do it to be kind. I think they recognize that it will keep them in power. Like, I'll make a statement very clear. If giving people free things cost Mumdani the election, he wouldn't have done it. Politicians will do and say whatever they need to. They follow the populace. They don't lead the populace. That's the confusion. That's why I say Donald Trump was summoned. Now, he's a personality type. He existed before he became president. But there are plenty of eras where Donald Trump would never have become president. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever.

• 57:39Tom Bilyeu?

  Had he run against Bill Clinton in the 90s, get the fuck out of here. The vibe was so different, people have been like, no way. So, somebody like that, just they're, they are a product of, their ascension is a product of the time. And so politicians that rise to that level,

• 58:01Tom Bilyeu?

  it's really just what's gonna keep me in power. And so I'll, I hate saying this example because I have so much reverence for what this person means historically. But Lincoln didn't start down the path of the Civil War to free the slaves. He did that once he realized, oh, wait a second. The bankers are all funding both sides of the war, which is smart, by the way. Very smart. Always fund both sides. That way whoever wins, you come out. Yeah, it's, you're hedging. So it's a, from a purely monetary position, it's a very wise strategy. So he saw that's what people were doing. And so then he does the Emancipation Proclamation so that if you were funding the other side, you were specifically funding to keep people in slavery.

• 58:45Tom Bilyeu?

  Now, what Americans probably don't realize is that England was the first country to abolish slavery. And they sailed all over the world, taking on slave ships and trying to end it. And it cost them a ton of money and a ton of lives because they just got to the moral reality of it faster than anybody else. So now, at a time where England is like the most powerful country in the world. They're the ones saying, oh, fuck, we can't fund the other side because it's about slavery and we don't believe in slavery. So it was a genius move on Lincoln's part, but keep in mind, it was about winning. It wasn't about like, this is a moral thing and I wanted to do whatever the fuck. Now, he stood by it. He ended up giving his life for it, all of that. So, you know, I don't want to discredit the man.

• 59:31Tom Bilyeu?

  But I say that so that people understand what humans are really like. We play to win.

• 59:38Speaker 01

  You know what? And that's hilarious too, because that kind of reminds me of what Trump said about housing.

• 59:45Speaker 01

  When he was like, uh, here it is.

• 59:49Tom Bilyeu?

  When he goes full retard?

• 59:51Speaker 07

  Existing housing, people that own their homes, we're going to keep them wealthy. We're going to keep those prices up. We're not going to destroy the value of their homes so that somebody that didn't work very hard can buy a home. We're going to get, we're going to make it easier to buy. We're going to get interest rates down. But I want to protect the people that for the first time in their lives feel good about themselves. They feel like they've, you know, that they're wealthy people. And I want them to understand it, you know, there's so much talk about, oh, we're going to drive housing prices down. I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes.

• 1:00:27Speaker 01

  You know what I mean? So it's like, yeah, you're not saying this to who you think you're saying it to. And then that's when I realized like, oh, you're talking to your, you're talking to your base.

• 1:00:34Tom Bilyeu?

  This is full retard. So it makes me very, very sad, but I am not in the least bit surprised. He's going to have to message things so that homeowners don't freak out. But the reality is,

• 1:00:52Tom Bilyeu?

  you, you have to think about,

• 1:00:56Tom Bilyeu?

  I don't have kids, but I think about the kids a lot. Like what's the world that you're leaving them? And this is one of those times where I wish people would live forever. They'd think a lot more about the future. So you can't just say what's good for me in this exact moment. You've got to say, I need the context of my life to have a certain setup. And part of that context needs to be safety and stability. And when you do things that do not give you safety and stability, I'm just like, what are these people doing? So this keeping housing prices high means that you're limiting supply,

• 1:01:38Tom Bilyeu?

  like by its very nature. And also in our wonderful circumstances, that is very sarcastic. You do it through inflation. And so some of the they feel wealthy is all fake. Like it's not real. The dollar is just declining in value. I hate how true that is and how it's just impossible to get somebody who's too busy to spend time thinking about this stuff, to really stop and think, they just go, bro, my house is worth more. What the fuck are you talking about? And so, and I get it. And listen, if you're using a house in that way, and you recognize you're paying a whole lot of money to protect your money from inflation.

• 1:02:19Tom Bilyeu?

  So it's like at a casino, you can place the insurance bet. Like, I don't know if you've ever seen those where you like, you put money down against like the big pot or something. I don't even know how it works, but you put an insurance bet down so that you don't totally miss out on whatever. And that's what this is. Owning a home is one of the worst ways to protect yourself from inflation. It's just the way that people understand. So the vast majority of people are going to do it. And he's right. They feel wealthy for the first time and they feel good about themselves. He's very right about all that stuff, like homeownership feels good. And given that we're still overwhelmingly heterosexual at the population level, women are going to bark at men to buy them a house. And so now you've

• 1:03:03Tom Bilyeu?

  got, I, as a guy, want to get laid. To get laid, I've got to please my wife or girlfriend, whatever. And my girlfriend just won't stop banging on about me owning a house. And so there's this evolutionary pressure to get you to accidentally do the right thing. And so I'm like, okay, great. Like, that's the setup. It works. Let people do it. But here we are, breaking it once again. So he is going to do foolish things that will keep the price of housing high and you'll have a small group of people that are Well, what were we just scrolling past?

• 1:03:36Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 1:03:37Tom Bilyeu?

  Is this visible to the?

• 1:03:39Speaker 01

  No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

• 1:03:40Tom Bilyeu?

  Chat, Drew's algo is questionable at best here.

• 1:03:44Speaker 01

  I'm doing a community check because I'm going to the Iran story next. But there was, somebody said that this was an old video. So I was like, okay, let me go to the roof one.

• 1:03:54Tom Bilyeu?

  Interesting. Okay. Yeah, very possible. So we'll get to that in a second. So anyway, he's going to keep housing prices high. He'll do it through inflation. He'll do it through limited supply and you just basically lock in elder millennials and up. We're able to own a house and everybody else is fucked. And that's how you end up in revolution. And it's just so wild. This feels so predictable.

• 1:04:13Speaker 01

  Yeah. So I know there's like a whole armada moving into Iran right now and we're supposed to just be sitting there. Trump had that spicy tweet a couple of days ago, no nuclear weapons. But it seems like this is legit, that there is still people protesting, people are still walking.

• 1:04:32Tom Bilyeu?

  Is this video old or not?

• 1:04:33Speaker 01

  It's not. I'm just trying to take like another angle to see like, maybe I can get more context behind it. But it seems like there's like a, a energy behind.

• 1:04:42Tom Bilyeu?

  Let me give you the context. It goes something like this. So from the Iranian perspective, if you, if you've been being dominated by your government for almost 50 years, and you suddenly realize that you have the backing, for whatever reason, of the most powerful military on planet earth, you've got your big brother standing there. You're far more likely to get into a fight when you feel like somebody's got your back and they're not going to let you be slaughtered en masse. And so this really could be the tipping point that everybody in Iran has been waiting for. So I am extremely encouraged. My fingers are very much crossed as this is partly a proxy war between Russia and China,

• 1:05:24Tom Bilyeu?

  united, who are doing naval exercises together with Iran, going up against the US, which I think have very impure motives. I don't think anybody's going to be surprised to hear me say that. I think we have very impure motives, but it's being leveraged, hopefully, by the people of Iran who want to be free. And I don't Think there's nearly enough energy in America. Celebrating our freedoms, celebrating the fact that people were willing to die so that we could have our freedoms. How important freedom is to progress. Because freedom is the thing that allows you to think through problems. And when you're not allowed to speak freely, you're not allowed to think freely, literally by definition.

• 1:06:05Tom Bilyeu?

  And you're not allowed to test and you're not allowed to try things and you're not allowed to question orthodoxy and things stall out. You don't have to think back to any more than 2020 when we weren't allowed to question the science. And all of a sudden, it's like the progress that was being made slowed down. It went underground. People weren't allowed to say things. It was just absolutely wild. And that is how people get stuck. And so the Iranian people, from where I'm sitting, I do not represent the Iranian people in any way, shape or form. But where I'm sitting, anybody that is forced to align to theocratic beliefs. You're in trouble. And just as, I believe it was Galileo that ended up being put on house arrest for the rest of his life. For saying that the earth revolves around the sun, which is absolute insanity.

• 1:06:50Tom Bilyeu?

  You end up in stupid things like that. Or Socrates, who was, he chose death, but he was either going to be exiled or put to death. For corrupting the youth via the Socratic method, which we now use in like grade school. So it is just absolutely wild. What, when you have a theocratic notion of how the world ought to be, how the world is, and you force everybody to conform. Everything just grinds to a halt, including human dignity, including human safety. Cause the only way to keep a regime like the Iranian regime running is to kill and kill and kill and kill. And you do that to keep everybody else terrified. That sucks. That is not a way to live.

• 1:07:32Tom Bilyeu?

  So, um, yeah, I mean, I hope that this comes from the Iranian people themselves, that they rise up. It's incredibly inspiring and exciting to see them still marching in the streets. Because on the low end, people are saying 5,000 killed. Think about that. I think that's more than were killed in nine 11. More than were killed in October 7th. And on the high end, people are saying up to 40,000 people killed. And so that took two years of Israel Palestine to reach those kinds of numbers.

• 1:08:03Speaker 01

  That's a population of Greenland, right?

• 1:08:05Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah, it's wild.

• 1:08:08Tom Bilyeu?

  We'll see, but hopefully this plays out positively, sending all the love and encouragement to the people in Iran, who I know, and Farhad, I think of you often. So, hope you are doing well, my friend, and I wish that for everybody there.

• 1:08:25Speaker 01

  Okay, there was a viral tweet that kind of went off about Gus Fring saying he's trying to all 50, uh, 50 million people, which I mean-

• 1:08:35Tom Bilyeu?

  It's not quite what he said, but it's, uh, it's spicy nonetheless.

• 1:08:41Speaker 04

  This is time for a revolution.

• 1:08:44Speaker 04

  It's time for it, and they don't even know that's what they're starting. You know, some very rich, old white men are exerting their power to suppress our own people, thus creating a feeling of civil war in the streets, preparing the hate, uh, the haters to hate, teaching them how to shoot, they're not even trained right, to kill. This is all preparation for a very insidious, um, uh, problem that's happening in our world. And for me, um, I, I have to speak out that we're, we, we will not be iced out. This is not going to happen. They can't take us all down. If the whole world showed up on, on Putin's doorstep, or on the Iranians' doorstep, or

• 1:09:29Speaker 04

  in Washington, it would, they'll kill 550 million, however, but-

• 1:09:36Tom Bilyeu?

  That escalated quickly.

• 1:09:37Speaker 04

  Would survive with a new, we have, this is time for a revolution.

• 1:09:41Tom Bilyeu?

  Bro, when you kill 50 million people, you're talking, that's the scale of World War II. So, he's like, you know what, like, even if they kill 50 million of us, does it matter? So, I'm just like, listen, there is, Thomas Jefferson was right when he said that liberty comes, uh, with the requirement to water it with the blood of patriots and tyrants alike. So, he's not wrong, but boy, do you need to be thoughtful about where that line is. Because, man, uh, one, rolling up on Putin's doorstep, I assure you, he can and will kill 50 million people. Uh, so, I wouldn't, he's not the guy to play with. Uh, you'll notice that in Iran, they're only able to do it because you've got the US military

• 1:10:26Tom Bilyeu?

  on their side. So be a little more careful. And if what he's really talking about is locally here at home. Uh, and he was just trying to temper it by not just saying roll up on the White House. Then it's like, okay, please tell me the exact policy that you want history to remember. That you sent 50 million people to die for. Exactly. Um, now I will say that he is not wrong about the people are in control. And people should never lose sight of that. People should never fear their government and their government should be scared to death of the people. That is for sure. Do I love the flippant way that he's talking now? No, would I much rather see him?

• 1:11:10Tom Bilyeu?

  Help people find a path to de-escalation? Yes. Do I think that a lot of people just get caught up in their feels and they speak from like what feels? Like he's saying words that make him feel invigorated versus words that actually are going to lead to an outcome. That's useful. So, um, yeah, a bit silly in that sense.

• 1:11:28Speaker 01

  Uh, I wanted to frame this with another.

• 1:11:30Tom Bilyeu?

  By the way, that tweet had like 17 million views. So people definitely felt some kind of way about that.

• 1:11:36Speaker 01

  It's probably because he was dressed that way, but, um. I wanted to frame with this because I thought this was a very interesting perspective. And me as a 53 year old, you know, sometimes I have to look back and think what the youth are going through. Um, Jasmine Sun said, if you're 21 now, Trump has been president or running for president since you were 10. This obviously has gargantuan consequences for Gen Z's views on democracy, virtue, success, and basically everything else. Trump shaped a whole generation's personal character and we still don't talk about it enough. When I was growing up, presidential made meant something very different than somebody who's 10 now, growing up.

• 1:12:08Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:08Speaker 01

  And so lawfare, pettiness, senators who are on podcasts, all this is now normalized. So I don't see us when we always say we need to kind of fan the flames and go back to the middle and realize that. You know, we need to go back to how it used to be. There is a whole generation of people who are like, what? This is, isn't this how politics works? We're supposed to be like this.

• 1:12:27Tom Bilyeu?

  Right.

• 1:12:27Speaker 01

  I'm supposed to hate the other side. I'm supposed to call them names. I'm not supposed to like them. What do you mean? So like, are we fundamentally teaching our children? I'll start it there. The wrong way to approach civics in the US.

• 1:12:39Tom Bilyeu?

  Aggressively. First of all, from what I hear coming out of the education system, the education system is a complete joke. It is not teaching people how to think. It is telling them what to think. And that already is a nightmare. You're abstracting cause and effect grotesquely. You are not teaching people how to find compromise and how to understand your way is not the right way, your way is just your way, which would definitely be one of the things I would want to get people across. And as a PSA, I will often have a flash in my head that says, this is the hill I'm gonna die on. And I almost always stop myself from saying it. But here is the hill that I will actually die on. Because I love and care about everybody that can hear my voice right now, I will tell you, your emotions do not have your best interests at

• 1:13:23Tom Bilyeu?

  heart. And anytime someone looks at you and tells you you're invalidating their emotions or whatever, be thoughtful in that moment, because I'm assuming that person loves and or is somebody that you love and care about and all that. And so you don't want to intentionally upset them. That's not my message. But do not get sucked into that argumentation. That argument makes no sense whatsoever for that person. For that person to have the life that they want to live, they must learn to use their emotions, but know when to step outside of it. I would not want to live a life devoid of emotion. I also would not want to live a life where I'm a slave to my emotions. So just as I would not want to live in a world

• 1:14:05Tom Bilyeu?

  where I had no hungers whatsoever, I don't want to be a drug addict. I don't want to be a food addict. I don't want to be addicted to anything. And I find that people get trapped inside of their emotions to the point where they do not have any interest in seeing the world as it actually is. They only want to interface with the world as it makes them feel. And that is pure insanity for them. Because now, your emotions are going to lead you all over the place. Most certainly towards ruin. And they are a device that evolution came up with to make it possible for you to choose between A and B. They are not meant to be an arbiter of truth. They are meant to be a

• 1:14:49Tom Bilyeu?

  Thing that helps you move forward. Once I understood, oh, my emotions are just trying to drive me forward, but they don't have long-term planning. I have to be in control of the long-term planning. And then I have to figure out which of these paths actually leads me towards that thing that I want. So anyway, I just, ah, man, it really, it makes me as sad to see a type 2 diabetic, keep eating terrible food until their feet get removed, they go blind and then ultimately die far too young, as it does to watch somebody who lives their entire life by emotion. It is just as self-destructive as the person who's eating themselves to death.

• 1:15:31Tom Bilyeu?

  And somehow, people have convinced themselves that it actually makes sense to be mad at somebody for quote-unquote invalidating their feelings. That is wild. Your feelings don't have any validity. They're just fucking feelings. It just means your brain over your dent of your birth and the things that you've experienced reacts in that moment in a certain way to something. In that moment, it'll be different from next moment to next moment. I could give you a simple chemical compound and it will completely change all of your emotions. If that doesn't make you realize, oh, this is, this is all just chemical processing. So, uh, did you know that a judge who's just come back from lunch

• 1:16:14Tom Bilyeu?

  is more likely to pardon somebody than the person who does it just before lunch? Because they're fucking hungry?

• 1:16:21Speaker 01

  That was the craziest step when I found that out.

• 1:16:23Tom Bilyeu?

  I don't understand how people don't hear something like that and go, oh, that's me too. Wild. I need to be very careful because I'm stuck in this body and this body is doing things that do not lead me towards the things that I want. And I don't want to be a slave to my emotions or my biology, et cetera, et cetera. And there are ways, not out of it, because it's also beautiful. It's wonderful. Emotions are incredible. Love is one of the greatest gifts that life will ever give you. At the same time.

• 1:16:49Speaker 01

  You know, Matt, I'll be if I had to do an extra eighteen months because you wanted a burger in ten minutes. Oh, my goodness. That's that speech is crazy.

• 1:16:57Tom Bilyeu?

  That is brutal.

• 1:16:59Speaker 01

  Yes. And then we also had that stat about women judges versus men judges and stuff like that, too. Like.

• 1:17:07Tom Bilyeu?

  I don't know that stat, but something tells me it's.

• 1:17:09Speaker 01

  No, we I forgot about it when we were talking about the feminization of society and they were like law schools have like changed and stuff like that. Um, OK, everybody, it's time for everybody's favorite segment.

• 1:17:19Tom Bilyeu?

  And by the way, just really fast to tidy up any reactions from chat. I'm as pulled by my emotions as anyone else. I simply don't trust my emotions. So do I do stupid things because I get emotional? Of course I do. I'm just saying I don't go to bat for it. So when I do something stupid based on my emotions, like a fuck, that was really stupid. That was an emotional decision. I don't go, don't invalidate my emotions.

• 1:17:49Speaker 01

  Ipso facto. Um, all right, let's um, grab these uh, let's grab these tinfoil hats. Um, and let's start with aliens and then we'll get into the other one. Um, UK filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee claims he was contacted by a Trump administration insider, who says President Trump has already written an historical UFO disclosure speech confirming humanity is not alone. Now, this is on the back, remember a couple of weeks ago, the Bank of England was like, don't talk about the aliens yet. I need to sell my bonds. So I uh, uh, they starting to connect. Lee initially said the speech was planned for a UN address and later claimed the insider provided a specific date, July eighth, twenty twenty six, tied to the Roswell anniversary.

• 1:18:33Tom Bilyeu?

  I mean, listen, this is uh, this is one of those things that. I would love for it to be real. I would love.

• 1:18:43Speaker 01

  You would love.

• 1:18:43Tom Bilyeu?

  Love. Oh, my God. In all capital letters. There is virtually nothing that you could tell me that would be more exciting. If you told me we could bend spacetime, I'd be a little more excited. But if you told me that aliens were real, I'd be like, that is awesome. I'm so excited. I just assume one of two things is true. Either we're in a simulation and they're just simulating us. And so there's no need to render intelligent life elsewhere. Uh, up until the point where we can bend spacetime and then you would render them. Because it's just so much processing power to actually be running the other civilization. So they would just be probabilities for now. And then when we get to the point where we can bend spacetime, or if the logic of the simulation is running something behind the scenes where it's like, well, other civilizations

• 1:19:28Tom Bilyeu?

  always have this constant probability of finally doing it. And then boom, they enter our airspace or whatever. And then they sort of become real. They start being rendered, at least the ones that we can see. So, yeah, like, cool, I would buy that. Or there are aliens and we just aren't close enough to see them. Like, it doesn't make any sense that in a universe as absolutely staggeringly large as ours is, like, people, they cannot comprehend. However, big you think it is, you need to multiply it by infinity and an ice cream cone. It is so much bigger than people realize. And so the odds that we're like the only, get out of here. No way. So it, for my money, one of those two things is true.

• 1:20:13Speaker 01

  I went to, you know where I went? I went to the poly market. It's a nine percent chance that they confirm it before 2027. If we bet a hundred dollars, it's a thousand dollars time, eleven hundred dollars.

• 1:20:23Tom Bilyeu?

  Yeah, I don't, well, so here's what's interesting. And this is, this is one, I promise you, there are going to be lawsuits over this one because they say confirm. Because the US could do something that a very substantive portion of the world goes, that is confirmation. So like, all of this bet hangs on the word confirm. Cause there were ones I forget about. Will Trump invade Venezuela? And then he goes in and grabs Maduro and they paid out the people who said that it wouldn't happen. And so people are like, what? He fucking went in with the military and snatched this guy and they killed people on the ground. Like, how are you not calling that an invasion? And so it was like, well, bro, they didn't stay, not an invasion.
