Well, that was a little awkward. I was trying to film this intro and i accidentally hit the live button instead of the record button. So all the people who were fast on the draw got to see a little piece of content that i quickly with an elevated heart rate, try to delete from the interwebs forever. So good luck finding it, but this is how it was supposed to go.

What's the secret ingredient crime, of course it is. I want to remind everyone about the insanity that is political, insider trading in this very quick clip. I give you some facts and figures that when they get caught doing the thing that they're not supposed to do even when they're caught the sec, the watchdog is like hey. Don't you do that the punishment is comically low, like actually a little trigger warning here like i just want you to know.

Um you're gon na be frustrated, and sometimes it's just zero. It's like hey. We caught you, but hey times are tough. We know we're paying you way over six figures, but maybe just don't do it again, but more than that, whenever you're talking about political, insider training or i guess i should say alleged insider trading producer, can you edit that make sure everyone knows put in asterix, make Sure i say alleged insider training because whenever you're talking about that in politics, you got ta talk about the duo of nancy and paul pelosi, the pelosis they crush it.

Well, they just got busted, one of them got busted, but they didn't get busted for insider training. They actually did something that truly could have endangered someone else. I hope you enjoy boy. Oh boy is karma a bit of a bitch remember when we talked about this article 63 members of congress have violated a law designed to stop insider training and prevent conflicts of interest.

A lot of you might be sitting there and be like hey yeah. I don't think people should be able to trade when they have non-public. Information seems like kind of a little bit corrupt. Oh wait, you're saying the people who make those rules are the people who get to trade on it.

So, like they're supposed to be self accountable, wait, you're, saying, there's a whole organization called the sec, that's supposed to watch them, but the sec is paid by the people who they're supposed to be watching yeah. No, it is that messed up while lawmakers who violate the stock act face a fine. The penalty is usually small. 200 is the standard amount? You heard that right when a person who is elected to office and they take that oath, i solemnly swear to wear really cool hats and glasses after watching top gun, and i'm gon na really just line my pockets with the money of my constituents and get paid Off by all the lobbyists and i'll do anything i possibly can to get reelected, because i am a power hungry egomaniac and i really don't give a shit about my constituents but i'll say whatever i need to in a two-faced manner to get re-elected, because i am Addicted to this power - and i can't see my life without it, because it's 100 - how i have my net worth - remember that oath that they take well.

It is kind of interesting that we let them basically run rampant right now and even when they get caught doing something they shouldn't it's 200 dollars. Why would they follow the rule, then that that's nothing? 200. We have politicians who are swinging. Multiple six-figure traits multiple six-figure trades, you think, 200..

You think they give a shit about that or sometimes it's not even that they're like yeah, you know 200 is a little steep, we're sorry about that, so we're to waive it by house or senate ethics officials. The ethics officials are like sorry about that man. We know you can't swing that two hundred dollars ethics watchdogs and even some members of congress have called for stricter penalties or even a ban on federal lawmakers from trading individual stocks for quite a bit there. It was creating a kerfuffle of sorts on social media, and people were calling it out being like hey, that's crazy, but then, like all good politicians, do when something happens that they don't want to happen.

They kind of just act as if it didn't and don't breathe. Any life into it and then the public quickly forgets about it because there's always going to be another new media cycle, but not me, i'm too much of a petty, vengeful asshole to forget that these people, who are trading on non-public information, are pieces of shit. This comes back to what i was alluding to at the very start of karma. Well, look what happened over the weekend, pelosi's husband, charged with a dui driving under the influence.

Once again, though, like at first, you could be like well, hey! That's bad because you're endangering not only your own life but the other people who are on the road at the same time you are, but it comes back to it's. A slap on the wrist and they're not going to give a shit. Bail was set at 5. 000, according to the booking report and records, indicate pelosi was released sunday morning and they said the speaker will not be commenting on this private matter which occurred while she was on the east coast, five grand for bail and obviously with the connections in the name.

I would not be surprised in the slightest if this is just rapidly thrown out. The judge would be like hey, like we all make a mistake of drinking once in a while i'll give you a warning this time, the old rich white guy don't worry about it. So a little bit of camera he got caught, but it is very serious, obviously there's other people on the road and he endangered their life by driving under the influence. But the way our system works right now, i'm gon na pay attention to it, but i wouldn't be surprised if this gets rapidly thrown out.
