If you're looking for some one-on-one help, meet us at rei-aise.com. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's go. While everyone was obsessed with Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearings back in January, this week as Hegsteth faces budget oversight hearings as the current Defense Secretary, the real threat is hiding in plain sight, and it's about to land on your front porch, your paycheck, and your property. It's not a politician. It's the only $4 trillion institution in America that can't survive a basic audit. And it's about to get even bigger, with fewer guardrails,

than ever. The media wants you focused on Pete Hegseth, his scandals, the accusations, the partisan mud fight. But as Congress gears up for marathon hearings on the Pentagon's $1 trillion budget, missing money, and mass layoffs, nobody's asking, how did this place get so broken? And why does every new reform make the system even more dangerous for you? While lawmakers grill Hegseth over alleged personal scandals and a signal chat about missile defense, The Pentagon is quietly pushing the biggest budget in history. One trillion dollars, with the same old audit failures and $10.8 billion in confirmed fraud just exposed by the Oversight Committee.

It's DC theater on repeat. Distract with the man, ignore the machine. So this week, Congress dropped a new reform package, the Speed Act. Sounds great. Faster weapons, digital twins, less red tape, but here's the catch. The Joint Requirements Council, the JRC, just got more power to greenlight emerging threats with even less oversight. Digital twin prototypes are now mandatory for all major weapons.

The goal? To fix the $220 billion in untracked F-35 spare parts. A new Rapid Directorate promises to cut requirements from 800 days to 90, but Pentagon watchdogs say it could open new contractor loopholes, not close them. The same Pentagon that lost $7 trillion in ledger adjustments now wants more speed, while 63% of its assets are still missing or unverified. As HECSeth heads into a week of brutal hearings, lawmakers are asking the right questions, but at the wrong target, why hasn't the Pentagon passed a single audit?

Why are they cutting 60,000 jobs through hiring freezes, forced resignations, and early retirements, all while demanding more money and building new missile shield? The Inspector General says these cuts will actually make financial oversight worse. Translation, fewer watchdogs, more waste, more fraud. And the GAO just warned, again, that without a miracle, the Pentagon will miss its mandatory 2008 clean audit deadline. After a congressional grilling, the Pentagon announced, Real-time contractor tracking for every deal over $500 million.

Blockchain-based payments for fighter jet suppliers. triple the IG staff on procurement fraud. But these are the same watchdogs who just found $950 million in Raytheon bribery schemes and 8,000% overcharges from Boeing for trash cans. It's always new tech and more oversight, yet nothing changes except the press release. While D.C. obsesses over Hexeth and who's sending signal messages, the real battle is over a new $120 billion space-based missile shield, the Golden Dome. This boondoggle is threatening to suck money from munition stockpiles, even as army artillery

is three years behind and China outproduces us 15 to 1. Pentagon staff quietly admit they might have to cancel B-21 bombers or submarine upgrades to pay for it. Every dollar lost here is one not spent protecting your home, your family, or your community. And here's where it hits you. Every time the Pentagon burns through another trillion, the cash runs out in Washington. Who pays? You do. Through property tax hikes, new fees, and service cuts at the state and city level.

How does state and local taxes and fees relate to the Pentagon? Here's the dirty secret. Whenever federal money runs dry, it's always state and local governments that scramble for cash next. And what do they go for? Your property, your neighborhood, your investment. The feds might not raise your property tax directly, but they light the fire. The cost always gets passed down, and if you own property, you're left holding the bill, no matter which level of government rights it.

Just look at the last recession. When federal funds disappeared, cities and counties everywhere hiked property taxes or slashed services. It's all one system. So if you want to protect your home, your investments, and your future, you have to understand how every national crisis in D.C. quietly becomes a property tax crisis, and how to get on the right side of the same. it. This isn't a stretch. It happened in 2008. It happened in 2020. And it's happening again.

Now, every secretary, every reformer, every outside nominee, same story. The bureaucracy survives. The machine outlasts them all. The Pentagon failed seven audits in a row, made $7 trillion in unsubstantiated adjustments and still can't track over half its inventory. Every workforce Acceleration Plan means fewer financial cops and more contractor abuse. Every new digital system brings fresh vulnerabilities for cyber attacks and fraud. Congress calls for accountability, but the next crisis always drowns it out. And when the DC crisis becomes a local crisis, it's your tax bill that goes up, not theirs. This isn't just about defense either. It's about your neighborhood. Underfunded cities raise property taxes to plug the gap. Schools, roads, and first

responders get slashed to cover lost federal funds. Small businesses pay more for basic permits and utilities, all because D.C. lost the plot. Meanwhile, the Pentagon claims progress because it passed nine out of 28 sub-audits this year, but 15 failed, and the rest are still in limbo. As Representative Tim Burchett said just this week, they should be humiliated, but nobody is. The money keeps moving, and the public keeps paying. You can't stop it. the swamp, but you can stop it from draining you. Hedge with real assets. Gold, cash flow real estate, recession-resistant businesses. Don't wait for the fix. It's always one more audit, one more reform, one more budget crisis. Protect your wealth from inflation, higher property taxes, and the

silent squeeze of endless DC dysfunction. So next time you see headlines about HegSeth or the next big scandal, look deeper. It's not about one person in the crosshairs. It's about the only agency in America that can lose trillions and get a bigger budget the next year. Trillions! And every time D.C. melts down, the cost lands on your street, your business, your home. The Pentagon always survives. The taxpayer always pays. But you can play smarter. Ever hear someone say, I have too much money? Me neither. Let's get you some more. Back to the show.

And look, let's just get to it because I know it's on people's mind. Epstein, right? I've said it. Dan Bongino said it. We've reviewed all the information and the American public is going to get as much as we can release. He killed himself. Where's the videotape of an Epstein island of X, Y, and Z committing these frauds? Why haven't you given it to us?

Do you really think I wouldn't give that to you if it existed? Hold out. Did the head of the FBI just ask, why would the FBI lie to the American people? After spending three hours explaining exactly how the FBI lied to the American people? Because they got caught on Russia again, and they wanted President Biden to win so badly, they were willing to lie the American people, and they did it again. That is so insane. It's so hard to believe because it's so corrupt and coordinated.

The fact that 51 people would be willing to do that. And they've doubled down on it. They keep doubling down on it. Look, I watched the entire Cash Patel interview on the Joe Rogan show and something felt off from minute one. The constant throat clearing before making points. The sniffling and the we're working our ass off said about 15 times. In my experience, that's nervous energy. That's someone buying time to craft their words very, very carefully.

And I wasn't the only one who noticed. Scroll through the comments and it's a blood bath. My bullshit meter is going off. Being lied to is upsetting. Being lied to poorly is insulting. Cash is part of the machine now. Trust me, bro, Cash Patel for two hours. And here's why this matters to you specifically.

Every time they spin these lies, the fallout lands on your doorstep, your taxes go up, your savings get devalued, your future gets more expensive. But here's what nobody's talking about. This really isn't about Cash Patel. It's not even about Trump. But thank God for Joe Rogan.

The comments under the interview reveal something much bigger, something that should terrify everyone in power. The American people have figured out the game. Joe just did something brilliant. He didn't attack Cash Patel politically. He asked simple questions and let Cash say everything that we needed to hear. And in doing so, Joe revealed the real enemy isn't any politician. It's the system that turns every individual into the same politician. Look at this. Give up on Dem versus Republican. It's us versus them. We need to take back our country. Probably 16,000 by the time you see this.

And this one, it's a big club and we're not in it. George Carlin's words, but the sentiment is everywhere. And this, we live in a world where the comments all know the truth, but the people in charge still continue the lie. The internet just diagnosed the real problem in America, and it's not left versus right. After 20 years watching this system as a free-thinking bystander, here's the game theory that I've noticed.

Imagine you're playing monopoly, but only the banker gets to make the rules, audit the results, and hire the police. How long before everyone else stops playing? That's where we are. The same people who investigate corruption are friends with, former colleagues of, or future job seekers from the people they're supposed to investigate. And here's the thing that's hardest to accept.

They're all in on it. Look at Cash Patel, the guy who exposed Russiagate, the outsider, the Trump loyalist. What did you think before you got in office? Did you think that Epstein was murdered? No. No suspicion at all of it? But I have a different background, right? Right.

So I was a public defender back in the day. I used to spend a lot of time in jails and a lot of time in segregated housing units, shoes, as we call them, right? And so, and I've known people that have committed suicide in these cells. And I know how you get in, how you get out, who works the system. And so the way, based on public information at the time, that he ended up, put the pictures and him hanging him I was like, man, that guy killed himself. There's just no way that you could have run an op and had people go into that cell and not have any video of it and not have any people come out and say, hey, yeah, I saw that guy.

He shouldn't have been there, the guard or this guy. There's just no access points into places like this in the detention center. He was in, which I've been in. Same talking points. Same deflections. Same. Trust me, bro, energy. It doesn't matter if you're Democrat or Republican inside.

or outsider. Once you're in the chair, you protect the chair. And George Carlin nailed it. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they used to beach over their head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. But look at these. People are finally seeing it's not Republican club versus Democrat club. It's the club versus you. And Cash Patel just proved he's a member. Because the system doesn't just corrupt people. It selects people who will protect it. That's another club card played. And here's the pattern that proves it. Watergate. One president resigned. Handful of staffers jailed. Most pardoned or rehabilitated. Iran-Contra. Major players pardoned continued in government. 2008 financial crisis.

Banks paid fines. Zero executives jailed. Russia gate. Endless reports, mountains of evidence. Almost no prosecution of government insiders. Epstein, dead. Files. hidden, clients never released. Want to see what accountability actually looks like? Iceland, 2008, 36 bankers got 96 years in prison combined. America, 2008. Zero major bank executives prosecuted. They got $400 billion in bailouts instead. Same crisis, different systems, different results. So correct me if I'm wrong, but what I was told, what I'd read was that the guards were not paying attention or were sleeping. Well, right. Yeah, and in short order, you'll see it.

Is that correct? Well, it's hard to surmise that from a video, right? Right. Where they like, you know, and look, do guards doze off on the night shift? Yeah. But no one can get in to the cell. And if they had gotten in to the cell, you would see it. But we were told that the cameras were down.

Well, I don't know who said that. But that was in the news. We're giving you all the footage we had. So why wasn't that released? like immediately. Why, why did this speculation escalate? I think you'd have to ask whoever the attorney general back then was Bill Barr. Ask yourself this. Can you name a single high-level government scandal in the modern era where true justice occurred? Not a scapegoat, not a plea deal, real justice. I'll wait. Look at the pattern. Andy McCob runs Russiagate, gets fired for lying,

ends up on CNN. James Comey leaks classified info, writes books, does beach photo shoots. 78% of senior DOJ officials previously worked at corporate law firms. They're not investigating the system. They are the system. Same club, different card. Because here's what I see. Every system is designed to deliver the results it actually produces, not the results

it promises. If you want to know what the system values, look at who is never punished and who is always rewarded. I mean, look at this. Just 22% of Americans trust the federal government. That's near historic lows. Trust in media, all-time lows across all parties. Trust in institutions?

All-time lows across all parties. But get this. When trust hits rock bottom, nothing changes. The system just keeps extracting. And we're building it back. We've done a lot in 100 days to get it back. And I think if you wait for the rest of this year, you're going to see some massive, massive actions taken over the summer.

And that's by design. I mean, look at these. It's over. Too late. Nothing ever changes. The club wants you tired. Tired people are easy to control. When everyone gives up, the machine wins.

But here's where this gets personal for you. Every time they lose credibility, they don't fix the problem. They come for your money. After 2008, they added 27,000 new regulations through Dodd-Frank. Did it stop the next crisis? Nope. Did it crush small business? businesses while big banks got bigger? Absolutely. More rules, more regulations, more taxes, fees,

and red tape. So let me ask you the question that matters. If you were corrupt and wanted to stay in power, what would you do? Would you ever let an outsider have enough rope to actually change anything? Or would you stall, distract, absorb them, and keep the show running? You know, every four years, we get a new hand to play, but it's always their deck. What if the next crash isn't an accident, but a payday for the club. What if they're not trying to prevent it, they're positioning for it? But here's the thing, they don't want you to figure out how to reverse the script. See, we live in a society where money, whether you think it's evil or not, good or bad, it's absolutely necessary. It's the only way to live a fulfilling life in this system, regardless of who's in office. The club figured this out

long time ago. While we argue about politics, they accumulate assets. While we wait for heroes, they buy income streams. While we hope for change, they turned the system into their ATM. So instead of being the system's ATM, what if you made the system your ATM? Here's the loophole insiders use that you won't find on Google. Lock in 30-year fixed rate debt, then use asset-produced income that inflates annually to pay it off with tomorrow's cheaper dollars. The club has been doing this since the 1970s, borrowing government-backed money to buy assets that government inadvertently, likely intentionally, No, definitely inflates.

What if instead of hoping they'd control inflation, you borrowed their cheap money to buy assets that inflate with it? This isn't just an American problem. Other countries have shown it's solvable. The question is, are you going to wait for America to figure it out, or are you going to protect yourself now? I'm putting together a small group of people in Vegas this month who get this. People who understand that while everyone else is arguing about which puppet is in charge,

smart money is using the system to their advantage to grow their wealth with it. We're not waiting for the system to fix itself. We're using it against itself. If you want to join us, the details are below in the description. But here's my question for you. What would you do differently, knowing nobody's coming to save you? Stay in touch because next week, we're breaking down exactly how Main Street investors are flipping the script while everyone else complains.

The club isn't going to let you in, but you don't need their permission to win. Hey, quick thing before you go. I'm running this weird experiment where I basically pay people to do real estate deals for them. And then I split the profits with them 50-50. And yeah, I know it's probably the most ridiculous offer that I've ever made, but it's working like crazy. And if you're thinking there's a catch, you would be right. I can only work with two to three people per city. So if you're curious, check out to see if your market's still open.

Or don't. It's not for everyone. I'll see you next time. Take care. And that wraps up the epitone. show. If you found this episode valuable, who else do you know that might too?
