The #1 Threat to America Right Now (And It’s Not What You Think) | Mike Baker PT 2
Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this thought-provoking episode, Tom sits down with Mike Baker—former CIA officer, security expert, and host of the President’s Daily Brief podcast—to dissect some of the most pressing issues facing America and the world today.
Together, they dive deep into the real threats posed by China, from cyber warfare and TikTok’s influence, to intellectual property theft and military ambitions in the South China Sea. Mike shares his insider perspective on just how vulnerable the U.S. population is to manipulation and misinformation, and why America’s short-term focus could leave us blindsided by powers playing the long game.
