Summary

Tom Bilyeu is joined by his insightful co-host, Drew, to confront a cascade of world-shaking headlines and dig into their far-reaching implications. Kicking things off with a prophetic rundown of global events—ranging from the death of Pope Francis to tech innovations straight out of sci-fi—Tom and Drew tackle the convergence of geopolitics, religion, and technology like never before. Together, they examine the unique legacy of Pope Francis, the strategic genius (and missteps) in religious recruitment, and the historic moments that shaped global culture. The conversation then pivots to the U.S. Supreme Court’s surprise late-night injunction on immigration issues, as Tom dissects the tension between due process, executive power, and the present-day political landscape. Interwoven are reflections on good governance, the rise of the “dumb voter” problem, and the essential role of free speech in a society hungry for truth and self-determination.
