>> Jesse: WE ARE LEARNING
TONIGHT DEMOCRATS ON CAPITOL
HILL ARE ANGRY.
THEY ARE ALWAYS ANGRY.
THIS TIME THEY ARE ANGRY AT
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI.
A NEW REPORT SAYS HOUSE
DEMOCRATS ARE BAFFLED BY
PELOSI’S EFFORT TO STONEWALL A
BILL THAT WOULD BAN STOCK
TRADING FOR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
THEY ARE ALLEGEDLY TRYING TO JAM
PELOSI INTO LETTING THE BILL HIT
THE HOUSE FLOOR.
BUT NANCY WANTS THE BILL DEAD.
THIS IS COMING JUST AFTER
NANCY’S HUSBAND PAULIE P. HIT
THE JACKPOT, AGAIN.
AFTER BUYING UP SHARES OF A
COMPANY DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE
NEW CHIP BILL EARLIER TODAY WHEN
NANCY WAS ASKED ABOUT HER
CONFLICT OF INTEREST, SHE
ANGRILY WALKED AWAY.
WATCH.
>> OVER THE COURSE OF YOUR
CAREER, HAS YOUR HUSBAND EVER
MADE A STOCK PURCHASE OR BASED
ON INFORMATION HE RECEIVED FROM
YOU.
>> NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
>> Jesse: AND THAT WAS THE END
OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE.
I GUESS FANCY NANCY WANT US TO
THINK IT’S THE LUCK OF THE DRAW
AS PAULIE P. JUST KNOWS HOW TO
NAIL EVERY TRADE.
DROPS A MILLION DOLLARS INTO THE
TESLA.
BIDEN MIRAGELESSLY ANNOUNCES A
NEW DEAL.
SPLASHES ALMOST 6 MILL ON
MICROSOFT.
GOVERNMENT HANDS HIM A JUICY
$10 BILLION CONTRACT.
SLINGING 230,000 SHARES OF A
CHIP COMPANY CALLED NVIDIA THEN
CONGRESS PASS AS $22 BILLION
CHIP BILL.
HE MUST BE THE LUCKIEST MAN IN
NAPA, RIGHT, NANCE.
TULSI GABBARD IS A FORMER
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
YOU WERE IN THE HOUSE.
YOU KNOW HOW THIS DEAL IS, THE
NATIVES ARE WRESLESS AS THEY
SAY.
IS NANCY LOSING HER GRIP ON THE
HOUSE.
>> I WILL SEE -- WE WILL SEE
ABOUT THAT.
BUT WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE
JESSE IS THE SAME THING THAT I
SAW WHEN I WAS IN CONGRESS IS
THIS BLATANT CORRUPTION BEING
EXPOSED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED.
WE HAVE PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF
POWER TO PASS LEGISLATION TO
ENACT NEW POLICIES.
THEY CAN SEE, OKAY, HERE IS THE
INDUSTRIES OR COMPANIES THAT
WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS I’M GOING
TO GO AND MAKE THESE
INVESTMENTS, BUY THIS STOCK OR
THAT STOCK OR HAVE MY HUSBAND OR
WIFE DO IT AND THEN MAKE MONEY
IN THE PROCESS.
I INTRODUCED LEGISLATION TO BAN
THIS, TO MAKE IT SO THAT NO
MEMBER OF CONGRESS OR THEIR
SPOUSE OR SENIOR STAFFERS FOR
THAT MATTER WOULD BE ABLE TO
CONDUCT WHAT IS ILLEGAL, WHICH
IS INSIDER TRADING.
BUT, I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT,
ALSO, TO LOOK AT THIS,
ESPECIALLY IN THE ENVIRONMENT
THAT WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW.
WHAT IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN
WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE IS THAT
WE HAVE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO
ARE INVESTING IN COMPANIES OR
INDUSTRIES THAT WILL BENEFIT
FROM A NEW COLD WAR OR CONFLICT,
FOR EXAMPLE, AND THESE ARE THE
VERY SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING
THE POLICIES WHO HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN STOKING THOSE
INTEREST IN STOKING THOSE
TENSIONS AND AMPING UP THIS IS
HAPPENING BEFORE OUR EYES WE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO SEE IT,
RECOGNIZE IT, AND BRING ABOUT AN
END TO THIS CORRUPTION.
>> Jesse: I COULDN’T AGREE MORE.
CONGRESS MEN AND WOMEN MAKING
MONEY OFF GUNS AND BUTTER, IT’S
BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME.
WHEN YOU WERE THERE, WERE YOU
AWARE OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS,
MAYBE SEEKING OFFICE OR USING
THE OFFICE TO ENRICH THEMSELVES
ON THE SIDE?
>> WELL, AS YOU KNOW, JESSE,
THIS CAME UP IN 2012 WHEN I WAS
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS FOR THE
FIRST TIME AND CAMPAIGNING AND
CONGRESS PASSED THIS THING
CALLED THE STOCK ACT, SUPPOSEDLY
TO TRY TO MAKE IT SO THAT
INSIDER TRADING WOULDN’T BE
HAPPENING IN CONGRESS; HOWEVER,
LIKE MANY OF THESE BILLS THAT
CONGRESS PASSES THAT ARE
SUPPOSED TO POLICE THEMSELVES,
IT DID NOTHING AT ALL.
IT’S STILL ALLOWED THEM TO
CONDUCT INSIDER TRADING.
IT SAID HEY, YOU HAVE GOT TO
REPORT ON WHAT YOU ARE INVESTING
IN.
YOU HAVE GOT TO HE WILL IT THE
PUBLIC WHAT YOU ARE INVESTING
IN.
MANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AREN’T
EVEN FOLLOWING THAT BASIC
TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENT.
IT HAS STILL ALLOWED -- AGAIN,
THEY CREATED A LOOPHOLE FOR
THEMSELVES AND EXPLOITING THE
HECK OUT OF IT.
>> Jesse: THEY DON’T HAVE TO
REPORT UNTIL LIKE MONTHS LATER
OR WEEKS LATER AND A LOT OF THEM
DON’T EVEN CARE TO REPORT IT AT
ALL.
SO, AGAIN --
>> AND IF THEY DON’T, WHAT IS IT
LIKE A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLAR
FINE AND, YET, YOU HAVE CERTAIN
PEOPLE MAKING MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ARE JUST LIKE
MAN, HOW DO WE TAKE CONGRESS
SERIOUSLY WHEN THEY ARE SO
BLATANTLY EXPLOITING THE SYSTEM
FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL SELFISH
BENEFIT.
>> Jesse: WE HAVE GOT TO BRING
BACK TERM LIMITS.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD SOLUTION.
