Nancy Pelosi is obscenely wealthy. She is no Elon Musk, but still has $50 Million in the Stock Market and brings home over 200k a year as Speaker of the House. So when she was asked if it was right for Congress to be able to trade in the Stock market she was quick to say “No.” Rogan caught on to Pelosi’s nervous demeanor, and called her out for what she has been doing as a legislator that can easily influence the market, insider trading.
Rogan started in on Pelosi, “Did you see Nancy Pelosi defend insider trading? … Think about how much money she’s worth. She makes like how much a year? How much does she make a year?” The group looked it up and Pelosi makes $223,000 a year.
Rogan slammed politicians for using the system to get rich after they leave office. “They make their money when they get out,” Rogan said. “What it is is [it’s] like an investment, if you get out you will have money for speaking engagements with all the companies that you helped, all the companies that you like, ‘Hey, I like you. I like you. Let’s hang out, let’s party.’ They’re like, ‘Hey, Mike. Mike the former president, we’d love to have you come speak at our conference, and we’re willing to pay you a half a million dollars.’ So this [it’s] like weird bribes.”
Rogan, had one of his producers play the clip of Pelosi commenting on members of Congress trading stock, to which Rogan responded, “Have you ever seen a person look more nervous?”
“She’s giving this like very simplistic, almost vague answer,” he continued. “Because should you be allowed to participate in the stock market when you’re influencing the direction of the stock or when you know which direction something’s going to go in? Or when you’re going to pass a law that’s going to benefit these businesses, that’s going to force the stock to go up, and you know that, so you invest a sh*t ton of money before it happens? That seems like a problem. That seems like it’s a problem. Now, why is that not a problem? Because we’re f***ing co-opted.”

Pelosi of course hid behind the free market, claiming everyone should have a right to participate. But Pelosi does outstanding in the Stock Market, it’s as if she knew which stocks were going to take off…
