0:00.0	Money printing has turned the entire world into gamblers, forced to risk it all in the stock market just to escape the crushing effects of inflation.
0:08.0	Now, today's guest is showing that even that game is rigged.
0:11.0	Chris Josephs accidentally became one of the most important whistleblowers in finance.
0:16.0	His app, autopilot, started as a joke with a tagline, invest like a politician, but ended up exposing
0:22.6	just how deeply corrupt Congress has become. His online trackers show how lawmakers like
0:27.7	Nancy Pelosi appear to be profiting from insider knowledge while everyone else is left to try
0:32.8	their luck. If you've ever felt like the system is broken, here's your proof and here's your roadmap for how to win even when the game is rigged against you.
0:44.6	Has Congress just become a corrupt hedge fund?

1:17.1	They then happen to be sitting on the committee that oversaw the law that passed.
1:20.9	So now they're profiting from things like that.
1:23.0	That is happening on a day-to-day basis.
1:25.5	Are they calling up their financial advisor or going right to
1:28.2	their Robin Hood app doing it right while they're in those committees? I don't know. It's hard to prove,
1:34.1	but there is sketchy stuff going on. They are outperforming the market. And I think the public is
1:39.6	kind of pissed and fascinated with it at the same time. Yeah. So the whole idea of invest like a politician, which is the slogan of what you guys are doing,
