Picture this: 19 hijackers, box cutters in hand, pulling off the unthinkable. Except Hani Hanjour, the guy who “flew” into the Pentagon, couldn’t even buzz a Cessna without sweating—yet he lands a 500-mph trick shot? And why are some of these dudes popping up alive post-attack, chilling like nothing happened?

We’re not stopping there. The Twin Towers—built like tanks—turn to dust, molten steel dripping at temps jet fuel can’t touch. Building 7 flops like a pro demolition, no plane required. The Pentagon? A 20-foot hole, no wings, no wreckage—80 cameras, and we get a blurry teaser trailer. Flight 93’s a debris field for miles—did the passengers fight, or did a missile call game over? Larry Silverstein’s cashing a $4.55 billion check, the "dancing Israelis" are filming the show, and NORAD’s hitting snooze. It’s just us three piecing it together over whiskey and a mic, asking the questions you’re too afraid to whisper.

Next week, "Post-9/11" drops, but for now, join the RBM crew as we unpack the day that still echoes. This ain’t your grandpa’s history podcast—this is us, raw and real, taking on the biggest “what ifs” out there.

Join us as we sip whiskey, debate evidence, and unravel a tale so crazy it might just be true—or not. Follow us on Instagram, X, Facebook, and TikTok, and let us know your take on 9/11. Subscribe on Spotify to catch every episode!

Episode 39 | Post 9/11: The Cover-Up, Money, and Wars That Followed | Part 3 of 3 1:30:06

The dust had barely settled, and America was already shifting into a new reality. In the final part of our 9/11 series, we break down what happened after the attacks—the cover-ups, the missing money, and the wars that changed the world forever. The cleanup of Ground Zero was lightning-fast, but why? The steel was shipped off to China before forensic testing, Flight 93 debris was buried in a landfill, and $1 billion in World Trade Center gold just vanished . Then there's the 9/11 Commission, forced into existence by a group of widows and riddled with omissions—like the total absence of Building 7. What We’re Covering in This Episode: The Rapid Cleanup & Evidence Destruction – Why key wreckage was shipped off before forensic investigation. The 9/11 Commission’s Glaring Omissions – Missing reports, ignored testimony, and classified Saudi connections. Follow the Money – Insurance payouts, missing Pentagon trillions, and who cashed in on 9/11. The Missing Gold – $1 billion in World Trade Center gold mysteriously disappeared. Afghanistan: Opium & Pipelines – Why heroin production skyrocketed after the invasion. Iraq: WMDs or Resources? – The real reasons for the Iraq War and who benefited. Halliburton’s War Profits – Government contracts made billions for private companies. The Stargate Theory – Was Iraq home to an ancient portal Saddam was hiding? The Kandahar Giant – Did U.S. soldiers really take down a 15-foot Nephilim in Afghanistan? The official story has cracks, and we’re prying them wide open. No holds barred, whiskey in hand, and deep in the conspiracy rabbit hole. Listen, debate, and decide for yourself—was it all just coincidence, or the greatest power play in modern history?
