We Went To The Rally Everyone Is Lying About
Thanks To Our Sponsor Kalshi: http://kalshi.com/r/IMPACT
Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, coming to you live from London! In this episode, Tom and Drew dive into a whirlwind of urgent headlines and provocative issues facing the world today. From explosive allegations of insider trading against President Trump—with a staggering 3,700 stock trades in the first quarter of 2026 alone—to the ongoing controversy around politicians trading stocks, Tom does not hold back on why this is a dangerous conflict of interest threatening democracy.
The episode also explores the escalating political battle in Kentucky, where APAC-backed super PACs are pouring unprecedented levels of funding to unseat Congressman Massie, igniting fresh debates about the corrosive role of money in politics. Tom and Drew break down the surge of government fraud investigations, the challenging realities of fraud in both red and blue states, and dissect the latest tech stories—including the wild results of AI agents left unsupervised in virtual simulations.
Across the pond, the duo reflects on attending a massive—and contentious—Tommy Robinson rally in London, offering on-the-ground insights into the simmering immigration debate and cultural clashes reshaping the UK and the West. Plus: tinfoil-hat-worthy discussion on the rise of tick-borne meat allergies and whether elite meddling is behind it all.
With robust debates, sharp analysis, and live audience questions, this episode promises to challenge assumptions and pull back the curtain on the powerful interests shaping our world right now.

Look up Montauk and their connection to tick borne illness.

1:34:48 comment is about what you just said.
Realize this: in the 12th century when ghengis khan had achieved the mongul peace, he declared and put into law that all people were to have religious freedom and no one was to attack another for his religion. From the book: GhengisKhan and the making of the modern world by Jack Weatherford! He also instituted a slew of extremely progressive laws such as slavery was forbidden, the stealing and selling of women was prohibited, all children and adults were to be fully educated. He excused taxes for the clergy, doctors, teachers, funeral directors and other people that provided a service to the population . And yes it cost over 20,000,000 lives in the process. But heck doesn’t the end justify the means? (That is me being sarcastic)

The notion that mixing aliens with humans would be too taxing on the simulations is just pure B.S. Just look at the argument Tom uses to say that we are almost surely in a simulation. The argument postulates many simulations nested inside of many simulation. So many that the odds that we are at base reality are vanishingly small. If that is true, the amount of compute available is quite literally beyond our imagination. Add in one mixing of sentient races to just one of the myriad of simulations should be a mere drop in the bucket.
Of course, the notion that we can infer any of these things is what is really B.S. We simply don't know enough about base reality to infer the likelihood of simulations. But if you are going to promote simulation theory, be consistent. Our simulation could turn into a veritable Star Trek or Star Wars of reality for all we know.

Here's an idea: If human are NPCs/AIs in a simulation, then aliens could be admin/PC in god mode logging in messing around (so they can ignore the physics in the simulation).

Tom is correct. You are not a public servant when you are using your position to defraud the American public and put their money in your pockets.

Battle test: What proves a poison if its the deadliest one? The one that fits the agenda of both parties is better, than the one that only fits its own. To the detriment of the projects that are going on now, to prove if the experiment actually works the project planners must be the ones to maintain their position. I dont believe these things but you asked for a battle test.

Everybody gets one vote and as far as money. Everybody gets up to twenty dollars to give to their politician. Thats it. No more super packs.

I refrain from commenting on Drew’s speech because he is pretty brilliant, but “the jew angle of it all”? Really???

If anybody wants to see something impressive that China makes are their bridges that span over oceans they have this machine that grabs the left and right side of the bridge as they make it and it looks like the size of half a football field or something phenomenal like that. It’s massive and so is there movement and momentum forward

Tom is peddling Kalshi now? They must have paid him some good amount. Well, if you can’t fight them – you can join them I guess 🤦

You can't buy a wealthy politician. Maybe that's a reason?

My sister has alphagal. She got it in Virginia about ten years ago – almost everyone she knows around her now have it.
She has since moved to Colorado.

How tf do they say they don’t make enough money in a six figure part time job that pays for all of your travel food lodging etc but the country just needs to tighten their belt

They are in fact releasing these ticks. It even makes them violently ill if there is cross contamination within a chefs kitchen. My family recently hosted someone that has been bitten. He was violently ill for 2 days due to cross contamination.

Any laws we have to follow, all politicians have to follow. Also their kids should be in the crappy health and education system we have to fund!
