Comedian Joe Rogan says U.S. politicians profit from insider knowledge when trading stocks.
Rogan in February 2023 mentioned former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” to highlight the advantage lawmakers may have when investing. He was discussing the stock trading activities of politicians with political commentators Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti.

“George Soros and Warren Buffett are not as good as Paul Pelosi,” Rogan said in 2023. “He’s better at trading.”
The California representative has denied any personal involvement in stock investing amid criticism.
“Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,” Ian Krager, communications director for Nancy Pelosi, said in a statement to Benzinga in November.

‘That Was Wild’
Rogan in his podcast also pointed to when Pelosi was asked in 2022 if her husband had ever traded stocks based on information she shared during her career in Congress. Pelosi responded, “No, absolutely not,” before pushing the microphone away and walking off the stage
“That was wild when she just walked off the stage like,” Rogan said. “That is wild.”

‘They Know Something’
Ball said on Rogan’s podcast that looking beyond individual trades and examining broader patterns in politicians’ stock activity suggests they benefit from insider information. Rogan agreed, adding that closely tracking lawmakers’ trades makes it hard to believe they do not have access to nonpublic information.
“If you look at the actual speculation, the actual sales, trades, they f***g know, they know something,” Rogan said.
