| 0:00.0 | I'm Tom Billu and this is Impact Theory. |
| 0:02.7 | The last time Whitney Webb joined me, she absolutely blew my mind. |
| 0:06.5 | Her ability to connect the dots between governments, corporations, |
| 0:09.9 | and the decisions being made behind closed doors by the elites left me stunned. |
| 0:16.1 | And with everything happening right now, |
| 0:17.7 | I knew I had to bring her back to look at this exact moment. |
| 0:20.5 | Here's the deal. Governments and tech giants are making moves that will directly impact your |
| 0:25.8 | freedom and privacy. AI-driven surveillance is on the rise and big tech is working hand in hand |

| 1:12.0 | do you think that Trump is somebody who has the elite view of like, hey, the right people |
| 1:20.6 | are in power, let's make these decisions for everybody else? Or do you believe they actually |
| 1:24.9 | sits outside of that system and is actually trying to |
| 1:28.3 | help the everyday person in the way that he presented himself while he was campaigning? |
| 1:34.3 | Yeah, so as far as my perspective on Trump goes, it tends to do with the view, it tends to |
| 1:39.2 | revolve around the view that he is a businessman at heart and that the focus of his political style, I guess, is deal-making. |
