See our seven day return policy at carvana.com. Let's talk about the moment your side hustle becomes a real business. Now I see way too many founders stay stuck running their business like it's a hobby. And then they wonder why nothing ever feels real. It doesn't feel real because it's not. I've helped thousands of entrepreneurs build real businesses through Impact Theory University. And the first step in the path to building a legit business is registering it. And Tailor Brands will help you do just that in a few clicks. An LLC, a Limited Liability Company, is an official business structure. It's inexpensive to form and very simple to maintain. It's how you open a business bank account. It's how customers know they're dealing with a real company. And Tailor Brands doesn't stop at the filing. Their dashboard tracks what comes next based on what your business actually needs. So EIN number, registered agent, licenses and permits, bookkeeping, business banking. I tell every founder the same thing. Just make it official. Click the link in the show notes to check out Tailor Brands and get started on your business today. This is a paid advertisement. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of The Tom Bilyeu Show Live.

We've got a full show for you today, but real fast you will notice. Unfortunately, Drew is out today. He's going to be out for a while, so bear with us. He sends his love, but Ryan is going to be doing those duties today. So if you're wondering what's going on, that is the State of the Union. Now, there is plenty afoot here. Just when you guys thought that it couldn't get any crazier, things in the Middle East are threatening to escalate out of control. The State Department issued a regional warning over fears of rapid escalation, that is a direct quote, due to increased Houthi attacks, Iranian threats and potential US retaliation. We'll get into the details there. Things may not be quite as they seem.

Speaking of feared retaliation, by the way, the Russia-Ukraine war has become a much bigger deal than most people realize. Ukraine slammed Russia with their largest wave of drone attacks ever, as well as their new Flamingo cruise missiles. If you guys haven't seen those, they're insane. They are supposedly even more powerful than the US. Tomahawk missiles. So pretty wild, and everybody now is holding their breath to see what Russia is going to do in response. The situation in Greenland took a surprising turn this weekend. Trump is taking victory laps, but there's a raging debate on what exactly just happened. So we're gonna get into the 1951 of it all. That'll make sense soon enough. The revenue trends in AI are shifting way harder than people understand. And if the trends continue, you guys can expect the frontier model owners to continue their panic and appeal to the government. We'll see how that one plays out. Real data, by the way, is finally coming out on the impacts of gender-affirming care. It's downright shocking. A landmark study published in Finland is casting doubt on the current narrative. We're gonna be going into all of that and more, but we've got to talk about what's going on in the Middle East. So the Houthis fired a ballistic missile barrage at Riyadh. It was the first attack on the Saudi capital since the Yemen war restarted. The Saudis say it shot down. That's a little hard to believe when the Aramco fuel depot that's by their international airport was burning. So as a PSA, remember, there was propaganda all over the place at all times. So something is going on at their airport hit maximum disruption on flight radar 24 So basically the whole thing was on lockdown. So I don't buy that they were obviously able to stop everything unless they had a planned fire at the facility.

Now that night, the State Department was telling Americans to reconsider travel to the entire region. If you guys were on X this weekend, you know exactly what I'm talking about. For a hot minute yesterday, it really looked like things were going to escalate rapidly. Trump was popping off with some insane tweets.
