Hook and payoff
The promise the opener makes, and how the video pays it back
Hook
The entire single-slide post acts as the hook. It uses a controversial figure, a massive and specific number, and emotionally charged language ('wasted', 'war') to immediately stop the user and provoke a strong reaction.
Payoff
The payoff is implied rather than stated on the visual. The emotional release or call-to-action is expected to occur in the comments, shares, or by reading the accompanying caption which provides context for the 'wasted' funds.
