While constantly defending the Biden administration for their outlandish decisions over the last year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently took offense to those who believe politicians shouldn’t be allowed to trade stock while in office. Not seeing an issue with politicians using their power to make millions, Pelosi has come under fire for her remarks and one of the main people speaking out is none other than podcaster Joe Rogan. 

Speaking with a reporter, Pelosi was asked, “Madam Speaker, Insider just completed a five‑month investigation finding that 49 Members of Congress and 182 senior Congressional staffers have violated the STOCK Act, the insider trading law. I’m wondering if you have any reaction to that. And secondly, should Members of Congress and their spouses be banned from trading individual stocks while serving in Congress?”

The Speaker admitted, “No, I don’t – no, to the second one. Any – we have a responsibility to report in the stock – on the stock. But I don’t – I’m not familiar with that five month review, but if the people aren’t reporting, they should be.” She would add, “Because this is a free market and people – we are a free market economy. They should be able to participate in that.”

In the video below, Rogan blasted the Speaker, saying, “They make their money when they get out. 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 didn’t stop there as he added, “She’s giving this like very simplistic, almost vague answer. 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.”
