2:53 am
>> i lost my job. i'd been working as a dental assistant for about 12 years. and we were a dual-income family. we had two boys, and i was pregnant with our third. if these people were making millions of dollars and they had information, if we wanted to make millions of dollars, we needed all the information that they had, and so we needed to have that, too, to be successful. >> we graduated last september, so three months ago, and we're standing in front of our sixth property that we've got under contract. >> and for us, it's an infinite return on our money because we've used none of our own on this property. >> when my trainers and speakers and myself say, whether it's on a cd or a tape or we're saying it from stage, that you can do this business with no money, that's not a hook just to get people to sign up. that's something you're experiencing. >> so that's absolutely true. >> yeah. >> we have done deals without any money out of our pocket. >> 'cause the return on your investment is like infinity because you have nothing in your deals. it's great. doing four deals in a year, and let's say they all made
2:54 am
almost really kind of nothing, which is kind of hard for most people to believe. >> working my day job, still. >> working your day job. i mean, that's ridiculous. >> i get to stay home with the kids now. i don't have to go back to work. >> isn't that amazing? >> yeah. >> guys, we're now inside of this property, and let me tell you something. if you walk around this property and you see what shape it's in, this house here is a bank-owned foreclosure that is in really bad shape. but i got to tell you something. this right here is a $65,000 profit after i touch this up and do a full rehab on it, because i know how to do it step by step and line by line. so, i want you to understand that these are the things that, when you come to my free live event, that you are gonna see, you're gonna learn, and you're gonna understand. it's not what you see. it's not what you smell. it's what you know. come to my free live event, guys. dial that number. come, take action. it's in your area. and i'm gonna show you the abc's of real estate, and i'm gonna help you be able to find properties just like this in your area so you can take advantage of one of the best real-estate markets that we've
2:55 am
>> what can someone expect when they attend your free workshop? >> you're going to learn what opportunities are out there in real estate. there's a lot of economic principles that we talk about in market conditions and stuff that the person coming in knowing nothing about real estate -- and i have a lot of folks coming in that are very savvy and been in the business a while, and there's always something for somebody there. now, not to mention, we give away some really cool gifts, and we got the best trainers and crew in the business. and so when you come, you're gonna learn something. there's a whole lot of things that make us different and more real, and i want people to come and see that and then make a decision for themselves if they want to change their life or take something to another level. and if not, you're still gonna gain. it's a win-win for them. as you continue to watch this show, you're going to learn a few strategies we teach at my free two-hour real-estate workshop. things like how you can access your 401(k) and your ira to invest in real estate.
2:56 am
small returns on your money, and you can direct those funds into secure and profitable real-estate deals. listen, most people don't even know that you can do that. it's the best-kept secret, and these are secrets that you're gonna get. that's just one of them. come to the event, and we're gonna show you more. >> one of the best things, i think, that i've enjoyed out of this whole deal is nick showing me how to use my ira money as a self-directed ira to buy real estate. before, you know, i was dependent on the stock market and i was watching it. and it'd go up, it'd go down. i'd lose $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 in a week, and it was like -- it was driving me crazy. now, since i've rolled it over into this self-directed ira, i can buy real estate like this house i bought with my ira. doing all the rehab comes out of my ira. and what i make on it goes back into my ira, and i'll make about $55,000 on this house. so, that's 30% in three months.
2:57 am
in there, now it's $210,000 in there, so i can go get a bigger house, or i can get two houses or three houses or four houses going at one time with my own money and make, you know, 120% a year on my money. >> it was surprising for me to find out we could use our retirement to invest in real estate, like our ira and also 401(k). >> do you know that 90%-plus of the population does not know that? they do not know that you can take your 401(k) and your ira and actually invest within it. you can loan within it, you can flip houses, you can hold cash-flow property. so, for instance, let's say you have $100,000 in your ira and you find a property that's $100,000 even. that ira can hold that property inside of it. and you can grow your retirement with brick-and-mortar assets that instead of being in the stock market, if that's where you choose not to be -- 'cause let's face it. if you have your money in cash, at a cash position, with
2:58 am
are not gonna be able to outlive your money, unless you have an exuberant amount or you're a really high earner. and in most cases, that's not the way it is for most people, so you have to invest. if you own a piece of property, it's an appreciating asset that, for example, all the rents that come in go back into your ira. and let's say the market goes from $100,000 to $150,000 in the next five years. that property gains $50,000 in equity. well, that means your ira just went up by $50,000, and all that income that comes in is tax-deferred until you deal with taking the income later. so it is a major vehicle of investing that my investors learn coming through my trainings. and again, just by coming to the free event, they're gonna know more about that. and the reason why your financial planner does not want you to know that is because if you do not invest in stocks, then they don't make commission. they don't make money on your money. so they don't want your money, which is the key word -- your money -- to be able to be shifted somewhere that you can hold real estate and make money
2:59 am
so it really is the best-kept secret, and i'm here to let that secret out because i think people need to know it and then make a decision for themselves. does that make sense? >> that's amazing. >> one of the things that really -- it amazed me -- that i found out is that close to 90% to 95% of the people listening to my show and my students that come through my academy do not know that you can use your ira and 401(k) to invest in real estate. >> announcer: if you're looking to make money while taking control of your financial future, then listen up. nick vertucci, self-made millionaire, has a life-changing opportunity for you. as the host of l.a.'s number-one real-estate radio show, author, and one of tv's most trusted real-estate investment experts, nick is hosting a unique, free two-hour workshop, teaching people like you how to build wealth in today's real-estate market. you'll learn how to flip and hold income-generating

3:05 am
side of success. as a former police officer with only a k-through-12 education, it didn't take me long to realize that i needed to find something to ensure my family's financial future. and like my law-enforcement background, i realized that you needed a system. and as a police officer, following a system meant that you save lives. it's the same thing for succeeding in real estate. if you follow my systems, you'll save your financial life. this easy-to-follow three-step system will provide the guidance and protection that you'll need to safely create the financial security that your family needs and deserves. one of the things that i'm gonna bring you is reality, not reality tv. let me tell you what i mean by that. i started this nv real estate academy because i want to give back to someone just like me. i owned a technology business. i mentioned that earlier. and i lost my business between the year 2000 and about 2004.
3:06 am
i lost, guys, everything. i had two daughters, a wife, and a daughter on the way. and i had lost all my wealth. and i took myself, in a 10-year period, and i've invested in so much real estate, one door at a time. and i've created millions of dollars of wealth for me and generations to come. and i want to give that back to you now. it means a lot to me, and i really want to help you. come to the event. i'll show you how to do that. i'll show you how to do it safely. and i'll show you how to do it with integrity. now, i know many of you are still thinking that you need great credit or loads of money estate. well, that's just not true. in fact, a large number of my most successful students have used private money lenders that they have gained access through my training, making large profits and never using a penny of their own money. >> so, that was my scenario. i couldn't find any time. but i was able to put my money to work where other people did have time, and they were able to get into deals. we engaged nv real estate academy. very short amount of time that i
3:07 am
deals. we were only in the deal for three months, and that's about a 12% return on cash. nothing have i ever made a 15% or 18% gain in a matter of three months. much better than i've gotten in the stock market. >> you see, investors and their money are always searching for the right investments. once you plug in to my system, you'll be introduced to investors that are looking to fund real-estate deals. they are in almost every city in our country, looking to put their capital to work through people just like you. >> they walk you through a plan of how you can retire in three years. >> whatever you do, whether it's real-estate investing, whatever business you get in, you have to have a passion for it and you have to believe. your mind is the most powerful and strongest muscle that we have. and if we believe in something and see it, then all you have to have is the system and the right approach to it, and there's nothing that can stop you. >> announcer: time is running out. if you are looking to make money
3:08 am
financial future, it's time to take action just like nick. you can learn to get in, get out, and get paid. he found the success he was looking for through real estate, and now so can you. so don't wait another second. pick up the phone and make the call before this life-changing opportunity passes you by. >> our minds -- i told you this on day one -- they are so powerful. they hold the key to our success. i'm telling you guys, this isn't just an emotional ride for you. this is the real deal, 'cause i want you to understand there's more to this than just real estate. you need to plug in to us. we are gonna be here for you. >> [ voice breaking ] this means more to me than you realize, you know? i want to make money, yes, but really, i want to be able to give back to my family and to other soldiers. >> it can't even be said enough that just a few months ago, we'd never considered being associated with real estate and
3:09 am
because of your system, you have allowed us to release this cap that's been placed on society and their understanding of how to make money. we can't appreciate it enough that now our ceiling is the heavens and we can support our family and enjoy the time that we have with them through doing something that we like doing. it's just great. so thank you. >> thank you. i would just say thank you to him. >> one of the most important things i could tell you during this show is this right now. the one thing that i can't provide is you taking action. 10 years ago, that's the one thing that i did that changed our lives. i took action. i made the call. and now we are living a life and leaving a legacy for our children that we never could have imagined. if you come to my two-hour free event, i promise you this -- you're gonna learn something, and you're gonna be given opportunity to change your life for the better, regardless if

3:41 am
carry out these attacks. clearly. i believe their attempts are inevitable. i don't think their successes are. >> can you explain why these people want to kill us? how does attacking the united states further their interests? >> i think they're trying to provoke a clash between the west and the muslim world or the world that they're in. as a way to gain more adherence. what they're claiming is that, the united states is trying to take over their countries which is the furtherest from the truth. >> paris was a failure of intelligence. all but one of the eight terrorists were french citizens. trained by isis in syria. they returned unnoticed and attacked six locations killing 130 people. what did you learn from paris? >> that there is a lot that isil probably has under way that we don't have obviously full insight into.
3:42 am
red. we knew in the days before that isil was trying to carry out something. but the individuals involved have been able to take advantage the newly available means of communication that are -- that are walled off from law enforcement officials. >> you're talking encrypted internet communication? >> yeah, sophisticated use of technologies and communication systems. >> after paris you told your people what? >> we have got to work harder. we have to work harder. we need to have the capabilities, technical capabilities, human resources, need to have advanced notice about this so we can take the steps to stop them. >> believe me, intelligence security services have stopped numerous attacks, operatives that have been moved from -- from maybe the iraq syria theater into europe, stopped, interdicted, arrested. detained, debriefed. >> the failure in paris allowed yes to attack with bombs and assault rifles. brennan told us there is more in their arsenal. does isis have chemical weapons? >> we have a number of instances

did not go in and say, "we shouldn't be doing this." i think long and hard about what maybe i should have done more of at the time. it was a different time. the ashes of world trade center were still smoldering. we knew other waves of attacks were planned and some under way. >> in the year or so before 9/11, the cia had a covert action plan to attack al qaeda in afghanistan. the administration at that time said, "don't do that. we have time. we'll deal with this later" and then 9/11 happened. is this administration making the same mistake now? >> well, there are a lot of options presented to this administration, as well as to previous administrations. the president has pursued what he believes is appropriate for us to do in order to protect the citizens of the country. >> what do you think our policy would be after an isis directed attack in the united states? >> if there was a major attack here, we had isis fingerprints on it. certainly this would encourage us to be even more forceful in terms of what we need how to do. if our policy after an attack in
3:46 am
more forceful, why isn't that our policy now? before an attack? >> i think we are being as forceful as we can be in making sure we are being surgical though as well. what we don't want to do is alienate others within that region. and have any type of indiscriminately actions that are going to lead to deaths of additional civilians. >> the cia brennan leads from langley, virginia, looks nothing like the agency he joined. it's grown significantly. but the numbers are secret. cia fights with its own ground troops. and has an air force of drones. the complexity of the threats today is unprecedented. hacking, the emergence of a more aggressive china, north korea, russia, and iran. and countries failing all across the middle east. in addition to syria, you are now dealing with failed states

3:48 am
involvement in that. as you can understand i will not address any of the reports about cia's covert action activities. >> do you have to accept the deaths of civilians when making a decision about using the weapons? do you have to say, there are likely to be civilians killed here but worth it. >> in war, there is the art of armed conflict. that allows for partial collateral. collateral being civilian deaths. i must tell you that the u.s. military and the u.s. government as a whole does an exceptionally strong job of minimizing to the greatest extent possible any type of collateral damage. >> but it isn't necessarily a shooting war that worries brennan most. his cia is facing a new front in cyber. and a focus on it, he set up the
3:49 am
in more than 50 years. that cyberenvironment can pose a very, very serious and significant attack vector for our adversaries if they want to take down our infrastructure. if they want to create havoc in transportation system thousands. if they want to do -- great damage to our financial networks. there are safe guard put in place. but that cyberenvironment is one that really is the thing that keeps me up at night. >> you can see more of scott pelley's report on our website. cbs news.com. the overnight news will be right back. i think we should've taken a left at the river. tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not know where tarzan go. hey, excuse me, do you know where the waterfall is? waterfall? no, me tarzan, king of jungle. why don't you want to just ask somebody? if you're a couple, you fight over directions. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. oh ohhhhh it's what you do. ohhhhhh! do you have to do thattright in my ear? living well your immune system works hard to keep you on top of your game. you can support it by eating healthy,
