Did the Government Really Build a $21 Trillion Underground City? | Unscripted Company

They say the truth is stranger than fiction—and in this episode, it’s damn near science fiction. We dive headfirst into a wild claim from a former Bush official that the U.S. government funneled $21 trillion into a secret network of underground cities for the rich and powerful. Add in a meth-smoking raccoon, Zuckerberg’s tunnel in Hawaii, mirror winks that question reality itself, and the slow death rattle of the American middle class—and what you get is a conversation that veers from hilarious to horrifying in seconds. If you’re not questioning everything by the end of this episode, you weren’t listening hard enough.
