While everyone's watching the Middle East, the real threat to your money may be building somewhere almost no one's looking: Japan. Tom and Drew break down how a slow-motion crisis in the Japanese bond market — the weakest yen since 1986, a carry trade starting to unwind, central banks quietly dumping US debt for gold — could be the domino that sets off a global crash, and why it forces more money-printing and more inflation right onto your plate. Plus: the latest Middle East flare-up and what it did to oil and rates, Trump's plan to hand every American kid a stake in the market, and a sharp look at how your algorithm is quietly deciding what you believe. 🎙️ Sponsored by Straight Arrow News — unbiased facts and context.

Welcome to another explosive episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, where we break down the world’s most pressing issues with honesty and depth. In today’s episode, Tom tackles the wild week in global politics and finance—from the largest US strikes on Iran since the ceasefire, to China’s bold steps to dethrone the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, and the growing financial storm brewing in Japan. Tom dives deep into market reactions, the endless cycle of conflict in the Middle East, and what it all means for inflation and your investments. We don’t stop there. Tom untangles the murky world of political morality in the wake of new allegations against Graham Platner, explores the future of Social Security and the concept of “Trump accounts” as a potential game-changer for retirement, and gets real about the threats and pitfalls of AI investment. Plus, we break down the complexities of the Tyler Robinson trial, discuss the shadowy state of US leadership, and debate whether the stock market has become too big to fail. Get ready for a no-holds-barred conversation that connects the dots between geopolitics, economics, and your personal financial future—only on Impact Theory. 0:00 Intro 2:30 Ceasefire Is Over 16:18 Boy Who Cried Wolf - Why Credibility Matters 30:42 Russia-Ukraine War 35:01 Graham Platner Accusations 40:45 How Japan Holds The Fate Of The American Economy 1:24:19 Weekend At Mitch McConnell's 1:26:54 Tyler Robinson Prelim Trial 1:40:21 React Sign up for my AI Masterclass:  https://tombilyeu.com/ai-masterclass?utm_campaign=TBS-Livestream&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social Check us out wherever you get your podcasts: Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1nARKz2vTIOb7gC9dusE4b?si=a8daffd2bf1f48fd Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tom-bilyeus-impact-theory/id1191775648 Do you need my help STARTING a business?
