Wall Street Cheers Terrible Jobs Report, OpenAI Implodes, and France Goes Full Chaos | The Tom Bilyeu Show

Tom Bilyeu breaks down a chaotic news week, starting with a terrible jobs report that Wall Street shrugged off: 9.7 million jobs below trend and stalled real wages, while markets rallied on hopes of Fed easing. He digs into turmoil at OpenAI, where safety leaders are leaving amid an internal culture war over how fast to ship AI. The episode also covers Walmart's digital price tags as a possible step toward dynamic pricing, unrest in France, a rightward shift in South America, and alarming reports of a new airborne plague in Russia. Throughout, Bilyeu questions official narratives and asks whether AI will lift workers or quietly create a permanent underclass. It's a wide-ranging, skeptical look at the forces behind the headlines.
