• Ex-CIA Andrew Bustamante Breaks Down Government Coverups, Conspiracy Theories, and Global Power Shifts | Andrew Bustamante Pt. 2

  In the explosive second half of this Impact Theory episode, Tom Bilyeu and Andrew Bustamante pivot from conspiracy analysis to the deep machinery of intelligence, national security, and the global chess game playing out between the U.S., China, Israel, and beyond. Andrew Bustamante pulls from firsthand experience and research to illuminate how bad actors—like Epstein—become valuable informants, why the public likely won’t see full transparency, and what really drives international influence campaigns. This section dives into distinctions between Israel and Judaism, the roots of community-based success, and the dark cycles of scapegoating in moments of collective anxiety. Then, turning toward global affairs, the episode exposes the real stakes behind U.S. military posturing in Venezuela, peeling back the red herring narrative to reveal a shadow war with China over control of technological supply chains and rare earth minerals. Finally, Andrew Bustamante maps out the future of Chinese/Taiwanese relations, the economic and military brinkmanship between superpowers, and America’s own risk of economic meltdown—with practical warnings for listeners about the pressing need to understand and adapt.

• The Government Isn’t Hiding Conspiracy… It’s Hiding Something Worse | Andrew Bustamante Pt. 1 X Impact Theory w/ Tom Bilyeu

  On today’s episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu sits down with former CIA operative Andrew Bustamante for a deep and eye-opening conversation that’s going to challenge how you see government transparency, conspiracy theories, and global power plays. Together, they dig into the silence and confusion surrounding high-profile cases like the assassination attempt on Trump, Charlie Kirk’s killing, and the ever-shadowy Epstein files—exploring why the FBI keeps the public in the dark and whether it’s just incompetence or calculated strategy. Andrew Bustamante brings his unique insider’s perspective, breaking down how America’s branches of government operate, what really happens when the public gets answers (and when they don’t), and why conspiracies spread so fast in the age of social media. The episode doesn’t stop there: Tom and Andrew debate popular narratives, including Candace Owens’ claims about coordinated killings, and examine how to separate fact from fiction in the current torrent of information. Plus, the two tackle bigger issues like America’s distrust for its institutions, China’s global rise and potential conflict over Taiwan, and the uncomfortable realities behind economic meltdowns and national security. If you’re interested in seeing past the headlines and understanding the mechanics—both visible and hidden—of government, power, and misinformation, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
