Would You Upgrade Your Baby? Designer Babies, Gold Jets, and Gene Editing | The Tom Bilyeu Show

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, get ready as I pull back the curtain on some of the most important moves happening on the global stage—and give you my unfiltered, no-nonsense take on what they really mean for you and the future. My co-host Drew and I tackle everything from Trump’s headline-grabbing Middle East negotiations, to the true impact of $600 billion+ in U.S.-Saudi tech and infrastructure deals, to the double-edged sword of “commerce as a bridge” between clashing cultures. You’ll hear why I think Trump’s deal-making style is both captivating and dangerous, why trying to impose American values on foreign nations is a recipe for disaster, and how culture and economic incentives really shape the world.

We dig deep into the nature of power, the hard limits of nation building, why price controls on prescription drugs are a political move (but not a real solution), and the uncomfortable historical realities behind immigration, assimilation, and global order. If you’re looking to flag the lines between progress and peril—or just want to understand the real levers of influence behind today’s biggest news—this is an episode you don’t want to miss. I’m here to give you the tools to see past the spin, break down the real consequences, and make sense of the chaos so you can win in the world that’s coming.
