Did you see Nancy Pelosi defend inside her training? What did he say? I'm doing great at it. You guys should try it. A bunch of people were freaking out about it. I think it was Krystal and Sager. I didn't watch it, but I did see the headline. Oh, it's incredible. You have to watch it. She's bypassing all the laws to make hella cash. She looks so guilty. It's like when they tell Robert Durst that they know that he did it. He starts burping. Just deflect. Think about how much money she's worth. She makes like how much a year. How much does she make a year? She just funnels into her husband and be like, no, he made the money. Not me, technically. How much money does she make a year? From being a congresswoman or overall? From being a... Stuff she's getting now or stuff she's putting away somewhere where no one can see it? She's the speaker of the house, right? You mean salary. Probably like a $200,000 job, right? She's a big wick. $600,000. Just on speaker of the house money you're saying. No, it can't be. No, I don't say it's that money. Fauci's the highest paid government employee. $223. $223. $223. And Fauci is slightly less than a half a million dollars. Wow. Jesus. Yeah, so they gotta make their money on the side. But Fauci's like the highest paid government employee. I think Fauci might even be... The highest? More than the president. No, I think the president makes a little more than that. The president's make $400,000. They gotta start paying them more. They get better people. Bah! Make it like a $10 million job. They make their money when they get out. Cuban might do it. But it is like an investment. If you get out, you will have money for speaking engagements. Yeah. 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 is like weird bribes. Yeah. When? But I'm an office right now. It's right after you get out. It's not that. It's kind of genius. It's a genius con game. What it is is like a virus finds its way through the system. And they never tell on each other. Yeah. The left and the right side, just like, no, no, we're all in that game. Yeah, that's the game of making big money after you quit. And then you can also sell books. If you're a president and you write a book, that book is selling. Yeah, for sure. Do you remember when the UFC paid eight and eight, and they paid $8,000 to lose a fight, another eight to win? I think there's still times. Like, what is the entry-level fight pay? Can't still be eight and eight. Might be 10 and 10. Regardless, do you remember that happened? Do you remember what that happened? What did the fighters then do? Did they accept just that salary? Right. Or they went out and got it another way. That's what the fucking Congress is doing. They're just getting paid. Well, sort of, except the Congress people and doing that. They're playing a game that's illegal to play if you're not. Like, if you know specific... That's how they put Martha Stewart away, isn't it? Was it insider trading? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, what is insider trading? It's like you know something, and because you know something, you can't make a move on the market because you have inside information. Is that exactly what it is? Dude, I told everybody, yes, that's exactly right. Because you're on the know, so of course you would buy all the stocks and rig the system. Is that the most tempting, like, illegal thing to do ever? Yeah. Dude, I sat on my puck. If you fucking know something is about to happen, let's hear what she says. She looks like a vampire. Yeah, she's always looked that way too. That's her authority. Hold on, I can't hear the question. I got back, sorry. What the... What the... No, I don't know to this second one. Pause, pause, pause, pause. Hold on, you can tell when she goes to her drink, she's like, oh, I'm going to be talking for a while. Right now, I knew this was going to come up. Let's sip a water from a professional speaker who's definitely hydrated enough for the day. She starts shaking. It's like right there, like, oh boy. Okay. Let me hear this, give me some volume. Okay, that's as loud as I can get it. Okay, go ahead. And the T-flip. And secondly, you should members of Congress and their spouses be banned from trading individual stocks while serving in Congress. No, I don't know to this second one. What? We have a responsibility to report on the stock, but I'm not familiar with that five-month review, but if people aren't reporting, they should be. Why don't you stay here? Because this is a free market and people, we are a free market economy that should be able to participate in that. She's telling why her husband should be able to invest in stuff that she knows about. Have you ever seen a person look more nervous? Yeah. It was the long sip, the gulp afterwards, and the immediate shake. Go back to like minute, like second 10, as soon as he starts. She also licks her teeth before taking the sip. Okay, let me see this. 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? No, I don't know to this 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 people aren't reporting, they should be. Why don't you stay here? Look at her eyes. Because this is a free market and people, we are a free market economy that should be able to participate in that. She already thinks what she's doing is completely right. She's like, no, we're making, this is how we make cash. I don't think so. Fuck off, no way, we're doing it. I think that's why she gave such a simplistic answer. She's giving this 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 shit ton of money before it happens. That seems like it's a problem. Yeah, no one else is allowed to do that. That seems like it's a problem. That seems like, why is that not a problem? Because we're fucking co-opted. Because I would also abuse it. It's like the coach of a team. Of course they would. What I was saying earlier, it's like the most tempting thing to do really good. You wouldn't do it. The rest of us would do it. Like we found out Pete Rose was betting on and against his teams when he was playing for the team. That's sort of the same thing. Well, the against for sure is. The against is the problem. The against is the problem. If you're betting on your team, I don't give a fuck. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team. I'm like, good, you should bet on your team.
