Tom Bilyeu welcomes entrepreneur and media powerhouse Patrick Bet-David, founder of Valuetainment, for a masterclass on leadership, politics, and the high-stakes challenges currently facing America. Together, Tom and Patrick dive into a rapid-fire analysis of Donald Trump’s performance as president, dissecting his leadership style as a project manager and the enormous complexity of running multiple high-impact agendas at once. The pair examine where Trump excels, where his administration fumbled—most notably the Epstein scandal—and how the media narrative profoundly shapes public opinion.

This jam-packed first half delves into international challenges with China, trade negotiations, and the difficulties of moving public policy quickly in a hyper-scrutinized environment. Patrick shares candid perspectives on which advisors are moving the needle, why tariffs matter, and how Elon Musk’s long-game may disrupt American party politics.
