Tom Bilyeu and Producer Drew dive headfirst into the week’s most controversial headlines and social flashpoints. From Trump’s theatrical show of force with Putin in Alaska and diplomatic strategies around the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to France’s far-right politics under Marine Le Pen, the conversation pulls back the curtain on global power plays and shifting cultural tides.

But that’s not all—they break down viral internet debates, including the explosive “Black conservatives vs. Black radical” showdown on Jubilee, unpack the tragic story of a French streamer’s death live on camera, and take on the swirling controversies surrounding Mr. Beast’s record-breaking charity stream. The duo also doesn’t shy away from raw relationship talk, tackling a deeply personal “sexless marriage” dilemma with Tom sharing hard-won marriage advice straight from his own life.

With unapologetically bold takes, sharp humor, and real talk about values, culture, and transformation, this episode delivers a rollercoaster of insight and hot takes you won’t want to miss.
