Summary

Most people think that world events just sort of happen to them. But I believe that your ability to understand global dynamics—whether it's the Middle East, China, or even the future of democracy itself—can radically alter how you thrive in uncertain times. Today, we're diving headfirst into a powder keg of issues: from Trump's aggressive strategy on Israel and Gaza, to China playing hardball and shaking the markets with rare earth restrictions, to the wild concept of a third Trump term and governments redefining “terrorism” in ways that could upend Western culture. To help unpack the chaos, I'm joined by my co-host Drew, as we confront head-on the ideas, power plays, and cultural upheavals reshaping the globe. Buckle up—this is Impact Theory, and if you keep your head about you and focus on solutions, these hard times are exactly what will make you stronger.
