Impact Theory With Tom Bilyeu

Tom sits down with two extraordinary guests: Andrew and Jihi Bustamante, elite intelligence professionals and co-authors of "Shadow Cell." Andrew, a former covert CIA officer and founder of Everyday Spy, and Jihi, a master targeter, pull back the curtain on the murky world of espionage, information warfare, and the complex dance between truth and spin in global politics. Andrew delivers a masterclass on how political appointees and intelligence leadership have shifted over the decades, exposing the tension between presidential loyalty and national service. Tom fearlessly challenges both guests to untangle headline-making controversies—from election interference to the notorious Steele Dossier—and explores whether we, as citizens, should blindly trust, fight, or try to decode the signals coming from our own government. This first half sets the stage for an unprecedented look at spin, power, and loyalty in the age of 24-hour news and social media. SHOWNOTES 00:00 - Fabricating Threats & The Russia Collusi
