Trump calls out Pelosi for making a fortune with her husband, and she responds in a CNN interview. Meanwhile, Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi is worth an estimated $413 million, according to a new report by the New York Times.
00:02:34.980And you're going to go, man, I love supporting great conservatives who are willing to go out there and start new businesses for conservatives just like you.
00:02:53.680President Donald Trump coming out swinging, calling for a Pelosi investigation over insider trading, and describing what she has done as nothing less than disgraceful.
00:03:04.440President Donald Trump calling for an investigation based on the facts.
00:03:10.480Well, he was asked about a bill to ban stock trading among members of Congress.
00:03:14.360I want you to put this into perspective what has been reported on so you understand the outrage here.
00:03:19.900Nancy Pelosi's current government salary is $174,000 a year.
00:03:24.460Now, that's standard pay for rank-and-file members of Congress.
00:03:27.420There's other roles that may get her more money, when she was the speaker, for example, or a party leadership.
00:03:33.540But if you look at her net worth, here is what we know.
00:03:37.220Open Secrets, for example, estimates Nancy Pelosi's net worth back in 2018 to be $114.7 million.
00:03:46.140Now, as of mid-2024, Investotopia estimated the couple's net worth at over $240 million, with substantial holdings in tech stocks and real estate, $45 million alone in property.
00:04:02.120All of this off of $174,000 and change a year.
00:04:05.680Now, more recently, there have been new estimates.
00:04:08.840As of June 1, for example, there was a new estimate that their net worth was well over $260 million, including about $127 million in publicly tracked equities.
00:04:22.520Financial disclosures show that Paul Pelosi, that's the husband of Nancy Pelosi, earned, and this is a big range, between $7.8 million and $42.5 million.
00:04:33.240In 2024 alone from stock trades, boosting their estimated net worth to as much as $413 million, a figure that's been cited by many outlets, including the Times.
00:04:48.020Here's the other thing that you should know before I let you hear it from the president.
00:04:52.560Nancy Pelosi and her husband's portfolio reportedly delivered a 54% return in 2024.
00:05:01.540Substantially outperforming major hedge funds and the 25% historic gain in the S&P 500.
00:05:10.620Notable trades included early investments in stocks that exploded, like NVIDIA and Palo Alto networks,
00:05:17.900as well as timely sales of Microsoft and Visa shares ahead of regulatory scrutiny.
00:05:25.540And the stocks came down significantly.
00:05:27.640Now, critics argue that Pelosi's consistent trading success may reflect access to non-public information.
00:05:36.120This is why she's making so much money, is what many believe.
00:05:40.340Now, Donald Trump was asked about this at the White House, as they were talking about stopping trading of stocks by members of Congress.
00:05:48.520And I want you to listen carefully to what the president had to say.
00:05:51.520Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information.
00:05:56.480She made a fortune with her husband, and I think that's disgraceful.
00:06:09.780And what I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated, because what she has the highest return of anybody practically in the history of Wall Street, save a few.
00:06:31.780Now, you can hear the president there making it clear what he believes should happen.
00:06:36.180Nancy Pelosi went on CNN, a place that's, you know, extremely friendly with Jake Tapper, someone that's helped her out with many fake stories in the past.
00:08:27.120And while he might make fun of us while somebody inspired by him breaks into our home and hits my husband in a deadly fashion,
00:08:34.520hits my husband over the head and he thinks that's a riot,
00:08:37.780I'd rather not go into some of my other complaints about him right now.
00:08:41.340Rather to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare.
00:08:46.440What a triumph, a great pillar of economic and health security for the American people.
00:08:52.100We had over the weekend a Caring Across Generations initiative of a 60-hour vigil of all of us taking turns,
00:09:04.080myself, my daughter, my granddaughter, and all of us taking turns over 60 hours to tell stories of what all of this means in people's lives.
00:09:14.260We, since all this has emerged, have had 300,000 calls from our Californians to people in Republican-held districts
00:09:25.380for the constituents to call their Republican members of Congress who have voted for this shameful, shameful, dirty, filthy, stinking, lousy, rotten, anything-but-beautiful act.
00:09:40.400And now we are engaged in the Save Medicaid summer.
