Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Social Media Lawsuits Start, Controversy Surrounding WHO Withdrawal, & Major Shifts Happening In China & Japan | Tom Bilyeu Show Live
11 Feb 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Motivation included.
Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Tom Abiliu show live. Big tech is being taken to court over knowingly damaging the mental health of their users. Japan's prime minister's gambit to swing Japan to the right has paid off big time. Her party snatched up 75 percent of the seats in their parliament. And videos are coming out now of what they are calling the suchification of
Japan, where they will literally wrap up a foreigner that they think is behaving inappropriately and supposedly deporting them. More on that later. China has reportedly told their banks to start reducing their exposure to U.S. debt. This is another shot fired in the China-U.S. Cold War, and it will only further drive to de-dollarize the world. I know there's plenty of debate on that.
We'll have some of it here today. A slew of cancer cures, this is the new conspiracy, are reportedly flooding the market now that the U.S. has left the who and the long arm of big pharma is no longer able to stifle reports of this incredible cancer innovation. We've got a full breakdown on that and what I think is actually happening, which is definitely not as it is being represented.
Huge breakthroughs are pouring out on the AI video front.

Chapter 2: What landmark lawsuits are affecting Big Tech companies?
If you guys saw any of that, it was a very bright spot on a very strange weekend on social media today. Incredible, definitely nerve wracking for somebody like me, though, that's in the creative field. But we've got some examples of that that I want you guys to see. Progress certainly has not slowed down. And Elon switches his focus from Mars to the moon.
Chapter 3: What political shifts are happening in Japan under the new Prime Minister?
saying that given how much closer it is, he can iterate on a moon base much faster than he could iterate on a Mars base. But I have a feeling that quantum computing and energy regulations are the real reason that he's doing the switch. We're going to get into all of that and more on today's episode. Drew?
There's been some speculation. I don't know if you realized the last like Two or three weeks. There's been a lot of breakthroughs and a whole bunch of different medicines and stuff like that. People are saying that allegedly once the US left the WHO, they were kind of big pharma was holding the floodgates. And now that we're gone, all these cancer cures have just popped out.
This is my concern that we become conspiracy brained. Yeah. And, uh, listen there, we obviously weren't conspiracy brained enough. So fair enough. Uh, Bill Maher said, where does QAnon go for their apology?
I think it's a, you know, it's an interesting question, but we run the risk of the second something comes out that when somebody says this is all fake, that we just go, yeah, everything is fake. And now we can't, Just as dumb as it is to say nothing is fake, saying everything is fake is equally low utility. So we've got to be a little bit careful.
So in looking at this, yeah, I think that things are very different than what's being portrayed. There's a narrative that's picking up steam online. Basically, Big Pharma is burying cancer cures because they're bad for business. Now, listen.

Chapter 4: How is China changing its economic strategy regarding U.S. debt?
in all honesty, I'm sure there are plenty of people in Big Pharma that have said, will continue to say things like, we discover industries or business models, we're not necessarily in the business of coming up with a cure. But, People think of legacy often before anything else.
And the pressure to, not pressure, the victory that would be to be the one to cure cancer is so extreme that I think that assuming that that can be shut down by big pharma is a mistake. But the rumor that's circulating goes like this. The US pulled out of the World Health Organization. Because of that, big pharma lost its enforcement arm.
And now suddenly all these cancer cures are pouring out because they can't be suppressed anymore. Now, from looking at it, the breakthroughs actually appear to be real. That part people really are getting right. Like, all of a sudden, we're getting a lot of really exciting breakthroughs. 2025 was a landmark year for cancer treatment. The FDA actually issued 52 cancer drug approval announcements.
But the important part is that over 70% of them were immunotherapies and targeted therapies, the very thing that people are saying they're never going to let through. So a ton were coming out in 25. A ton were being approved by the FDA, which is actually what matters. So again, like it doesn't square with what people are saying about the WHO.
The things that are coming, we're talking about personalized mRNA cancer vaccines that train your immune system to attack your specific tumors. These are CAR-T cell therapies that are now moving into outpatient clinics. You've also got CRAS inhibitors, which are drugs that target a gene mutation responsible for a quarter of all cancerous tumors that scientists spent 30 years calling undruggable.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO?
Okay, so these are all the things we've been hoping and wanting for, but they've been going on for a long time, coming out largely in 25, long before what Trump just did. Now, in January, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation to the first drug ever to specifically target one of those mutations. It's a blood test that can detect multiple cancers before symptoms even appear.
Those are also entering clinical use. None of that's hype. This is all genuine acceleration in cancer science. But where the narrative that this is all part of the U.S. pulling out of WHO and that Big Pharma was able to so successfully pin all this down, where that falls apart is that none of this has anything to do with the WHO. I'm not going to bat for the WHO. Just assume the WHO is terrible.
But the WHO, the World Health Organization, they don't approve drugs. So they don't regulate what treatments American patients can access, has zero authority over the FDA, which does control what Americans can access. The WHO's role is recommending international health standards, coordinating disease surveillance and helping developing countries build health infrastructure.
It's not and has never been the gatekeeper standing between any of us here in the U.S. and cancer treatments. So the U.S. formally exiting the WHO on January 22nd of this year seems very unlikely to be the thing that is leading to these breakthroughs coming out now. Um, the crass research that produced these new drugs started way back in 2013.
The M, uh, mRNA cancer vaccine platform was built on technology developed during COVID.

Chapter 6: How are recent advancements in AI impacting creative industries?
Um, Menin inhibitors for leukemia went through over a decade of clinical trials. So these aren't things that were just sitting waiting for policy change. And again, the WHO is not responsible for the policy change that would impact this.
So they're the output of thousands of researchers working for years across universities, hospitals, biotech startups, and yes, of course, pharmaceutical companies who I trust about as far as I can throw them. And so... For that reason, because again, I'm not going to bat for any of these institutions.
I understand the instinct behind people distrusting them and thinking that there must be something funny going on and that the timing is really controversial. My goal would be to get people to focus on the real thing, which is FDA, man. FDA is a problem. Like if you want to bang on somebody's doorstep, bang on the FDA's doorstep.
Now, people obviously have reasons to not trust big pharma, largely because the incentive structure in health care is terrible. It is genuinely misaligned in ways that absolutely hurt all of us as patients. But the specific claim that a cure for cancer existed and was being hidden doesn't really survive contact with basic math.
A researcher at Oxford actually ran the math and estimated that suppressing a single cancer cure would require at least 714,000 people across the major pharmaceutical companies. And it would require them to stay silent. If I remember right, he said that the math would like crumble in four years. I don't quite understand why he said four years. But anyway, he claims to have run the math.
That doesn't include even academic scientists, the FDA, again, where your focus should be, health journalists, things like that. So the conspiracy would collapse just based on the sheer number of people that would have to be in on it. And if we've learned anything from the Epstein files, it's that it's a distressingly small group of people
that can keep these things moving behind the scenes but a cancer breakthrough when it's controlled by the fda and not the who us pulling out of the hoop i i don't track that so if we want to say that the fda was doing something hey i'm glad to look at that because as somebody formerly from the food industry i do not trust the fda i certainly don't trust them to think clearly and if you've watched any of the stuff on oxy uh oxycodone cotton oxycontin oxycontin uh

Chapter 7: What role does government regulation play in social media usage among kids?
Suss. Suss. I don't know if anybody was ever charged, but man, some of those documentaries, pretty damning in terms of the FDA's involvement. So that's how I'd see it.
That's been wild. I'm not going to lie, when this first came out, I thought this was part of the Peter D. Mendez longevity. AI is going to start rapidly increasing the rate of breakthroughs. So I was excited that a lot of these things were coming.
Um, that really may be true by the way. I don't know how much of that is tied to why all of a sudden so many, so fast people in the medical industry, the more like when we had David Sinclair on episode coming soon, I think, um, he was saying, um, The amount that AI speeds them up cannot be overstated. It's radical, radical.
And given how much it speeds me up and like normal stuff, I would not be shocked.
Yeah. It'll be nice, but I do think we have to have a reckoning about incentives because there is... Right now, pharmaceutical companies are incentivized to have diseases. They're not incentivized for cures. Yeah.
So there is something that when all these cures do rapidly break, is it going to be, okay, you could cure cancer, but it's a $10,000 shot now because they have to front end all their profits or, you know what I mean? And I know we don't like talking about the S word and we don't like when government gets involved with certain things. What's the S word? Socialism.
So, you know- I just like there is going to hold on. If you're saying, hey, there might be some things that the government should pay for and we should all want our tax dollars to go to 100 percent. Let's remember, socialism is confiscation of the means of production. That's evil. That's bad. Trying to make everything free. That's evil. That's bad. Just because of the outcomes.
But us all saying collectively, hey, you know, those tax dollars in mind that you're taking balance the budget. But now that the budget's balanced, here's where I would like to allocate some of my money. I would like it to go to things that the private sector is not equipped to do well. And this would be one of them.
So find a cure where it's like there's going to be a ton of money going into it and then no money that comes out of it because it just makes the thing go away. It's a great use of money. I...

Chapter 8: What are the latest breakthroughs in cancer treatments?
There are two simultaneous lawsuits happening in California and New Mexico. An opening argument started today.
Today, opening statement set to begin in the landmark social media trial against the world's biggest tech companies accused of harming children and fueling addiction. Top CEOs like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expected to testify, but his company is already playing defense, releasing this statement, quote,
We strongly disagree with these allegations and are confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people. For over a decade, we've listened to parents, worked with experts and law enforcement, and conducted in-depth research to understand the issues that matter most. Here to break it all down for us, attorney and MRC vice president.
Yeah, pause it for a sec. This is where the incentives really become a problem. So if you have a model where you want people to spend as much time as humanly possible on your platform and you see that data is coming out that says spending extraordinary amounts of time on your platform are causing cognitive issues, you're in a bad spot because you really can't from a public company.
This is another reason I don't want to be a public company. You've got so much pressure from investors to do that thing that it's good luck getting a man to understand something that which his paycheck insists he does not understand. Right. So it's I'm not going to buy anything that meta says you're you're in a position of you've got motivated reasoning of nothing else. Mm hmm.
Um, if I were a parent, I would not let my kids on social media until they're 16. If I could push it 18, 25, like it's, it is at a headline level. It does not appear to be good for the brain. The brain's what I'm worried about even more than I'm worried about. Like the psychological impact I'm worried about when your brain is developing, it is
going to adjust down different pathing depending on the environment that it grows up in. And if you're in an environment where you're just constantly scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, like get these hyper rapid dopamine hits, your brain adjusts to that. And so now you get to the point where your brain is designed to work in a way where you're getting that constant stimulus.
And when you don't get it, then it's not operating as usual. It's going to squawk and that's kids getting agitated, irritated, freaking out, got to have it throwing tantrums, kicking, breaking, um, all that stuff. And so. The bad news about brain development is as you get older, you can change. You can create new neurons until the day you die. All of that stuff is very real.
The problem is that the period of hyperbrain plasticity is like up through 11%. And then every day after that, it gets less. And so what changes would have been easy until you're 11 become a little bit harder. And by the time you're 18, you're kind of baked. By the time you're 25, it's really game over. And you can adjust behaviors and things like that.
