(DCNF)—Democrat California Rep. Nancy Pelosi became visibly agitated with CNN’s Jake Tapper Wednesday after he asked her about President Donald Trump and Trump’s remarks about Pelosi and alleged insider trading.
While talking to reporters Wednesday, Trump voiced support for banning stock trading by government officials and called for Pelosi to be “investigated” over alleged insider trading. Tapper, having just discussed the possibility of California redistricting on “The Lead,” began to ask Pelosi about Trump’s remarks. The clip Tapper attempted to play of the president’s remarks malfunctioned, however.
“Let me just read what he said. I’m sorry that we had some sort of technical issue. ‘Nancy Pelosi became rich’ — ” Tapper began to read before Pelosi interrupted him.
“Why do you have to read that? We’re here to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid. That’s what I agreed to come to talk about and what that means in the election,” Pelosi said.
During the briefing, Trump told Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese that, in addition to “conceptually” approving an act to ban government officials, he also called out how “rich” Pelosi has become by allegedly “having inside information.”
“She made a fortune with her husband, and I think that’s disgraceful,” Trump said. “But conceptually I like it and what I do think is that Nancy Pelosi should be investigated because she has the highest return of anybody, practically, in the history of Wall Street. Save a few, and how did that happen? It happened by she knows exactly what’s gonna happen. She buys stock, and then the stock goes up after the announcement is made. And she ought to be investigated.”
Tapper told Pelosi he wanted to give her a chance to respond, noting that the president accused her of insider trading.
“That’s ridiculous,” Pelosi said. “In fact, I very much support the trading of members of Congress. Not that I think anybody’s doing anything wrong. If they are, they are prosecuted, and they go to jail. But because of the confidence it instills in the American people, don’t worry about this. But I have no concern about the obvious investments that have been made over time. I’m not into it. My husband is. But it isn’t anything to do with anything insider.”
“But the president has his own exposure, so he’s always projecting. He’s always projecting. And let’s not give him any more time on that, please. We’re going forward here, and I’m very proud of my family,” Pelosi added. “While he might make fun of us, while somebody inspired by him breaks into our home and in a deadly fashion hits my husband over the head, and he thinks that’s a riot. I’d rather not go into some of my other complaints about him right now. Rather to talk about the 60th anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare.”
Following Trump’s call for an investigation, Pelosi went on to endorse the HONEST Act, also known as the Halting Ownership of Non-Ethical Securities and Trusts Act, which would ensure that “officials at the highest levels of the federal government cannot profit through ownership of stocks and other securities that they have regulatory control over.”
In addition to calling out Pelosi, Trump blasted Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday afternoon after he joined Democrats in halting a measure that sought to commission a government report on Pelosi’s stock trading history.

Safeguarding Your American Dream: Discover the Power of America First Healthcare
In today’s economy, healthcare costs remain one of the biggest threats to financial stability and family security. Americans work hard to build a better life, yet rising medical expenses can quickly erode savings, force tough trade-offs, and even push families toward debt or bankruptcy. Medical bills continue to rank as the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States, with millions facing underinsurance or unexpected out-of-pocket burdens that no one plans for. Many turn to government-run marketplace plans under the Affordable Care Act, hoping for relief, only to discover that what appears affordable on paper often delivers higher long-term costs, limited real protection, and coverage that may not align with personal values or family needs.
America First Healthcare stands out as a private insurance agency dedicated to helping conservatives and families secure better coverage and better rates through customized, values-aligned options. By conducting free insurance reviews, the agency uncovers hidden gaps in existing policies and connects clients with private alternatives that emphasize personal responsibility, small-government principles, and genuine affordability—often delivering up to 20% savings while providing stronger protection for the American Dream.
The allure of marketplace plans is easy to understand: open enrollment periods, premium tax credits for many households, and the promise of “comprehensive” benefits mandated by law. Yet recent data reveals a different reality, especially after the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies at the end of 2025. Enrollment for 2026 dropped by more than one million people compared to the prior year, with many shifting to lower-tier bronze plans to keep monthly premiums manageable.
These plans feature significantly higher deductibles—averaging around $7,500 nationally—and greater cost-sharing requirements. Families who once paid modest amounts after subsidies now face average premium increases of $65 or more per month, even as they accept plans that leave them responsible for thousands in upfront costs before meaningful coverage kicks in.
High deductibles create a dangerous barrier to care. Studies show that people in such plans are less likely to seek timely treatment for chronic conditions, attend preventive screenings, or fill necessary prescriptions. A seemingly minor illness or injury can balloon into major expenses when patients delay care until problems worsen. For a family of four, a single hospitalization, cancer diagnosis, or unexpected surgery can easily exceed the deductible, triggering coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums that still leave substantial bills. One recent analysis noted that some proposed changes could push family deductibles toward $31,000 in future years, further exposing households to financial risk.
Beyond the numbers, marketplace plans often carry structural limitations. Coverage for certain critical services may include waiting periods or narrower networks that restrict access to preferred doctors and specialists. Preventive care is required to be covered without cost-sharing, but everything else—lab work, imaging, specialist visits, or ongoing treatment—typically waits until the deductible is met. This reactive model contrasts sharply with the proactive, holistic approach many families prefer, especially those focused on wellness, early intervention, and maintaining health to enjoy life rather than merely reacting to illness.
Values alignment represents another growing concern. Government-influenced plans operate within a framework shaped by federal mandates and political priorities that may not reflect conservative principles of limited government, personal freedom, and ethical stewardship. Families who want to direct their healthcare dollars toward providers and benefits that honor traditional values sometimes find marketplace options feel misaligned, forcing a compromise between affordability and conviction.
Private alternatives, by contrast, offer year-round flexibility without the restrictions of open enrollment windows. Independent agents can shop across a wider range of carriers to design plans tailored to specific family needs—whether that means lower deductibles for frequent medical users, broader provider networks, or add-ons that support wellness and preventive services from day one. Clients frequently report more stable premiums that do not automatically escalate each year, along with genuine cost savings once the full picture of deductibles, copays, and coverage depth is considered.
Take the experience of real families who made the switch. Amanda C. shared that her new plan felt “way better” than what she had through the marketplace. Johnny Y. noted his previous coverage kept increasing annually until he found a more stable private option. Sofia S. expressed delight with her plan and began recommending it to others. These stories echo a common theme: when families move beyond one-size-fits-all government marketplaces, they often discover customized protection that better safeguards both health and finances.
Founder Jordan Sarmiento’s own journey underscores the stakes. In 2021, a six-day hospitalization generated a $95,000 bill. Under a well-structured private “Conservative Care Coverage” plan, his out-of-pocket responsibility would have been just $500. That stark difference illustrates how thoughtful planning and private options can prevent a medical event from becoming a financial catastrophe.
Practical steps exist for anyone questioning their current coverage. Start with a no-obligation review of your existing policy to identify gaps—high deductibles, limited critical-care benefits, or escalating premiums. Compare total projected costs (premiums plus potential out-of-pocket expenses) rather than monthly premiums alone. Consider family health history, anticipated needs, and lifestyle priorities. Private agencies can present side-by-side options that include stronger wellness incentives, broader access, and plans built on shared values of self-reliance and freedom.
In an era when healthcare inflation continues to outpace general cost-of-living increases, relying solely on marketplace solutions carries growing risk. Families who proactively explore private alternatives frequently achieve meaningful savings while gaining peace of mind that their coverage truly works when needed most.
America First Healthcare makes this exploration straightforward through its free review process. Families and individuals receive personalized guidance to close coverage holes, reduce unnecessary expenses, and secure plans that align with conservative principles—protecting wallets, health, and the American Dream without government overreach. Many who complete a review discover they can enjoy better benefits for less, often saving up to 20% while gaining the customization and stability that marketplace plans struggle to deliver.
Ultimately, protecting your family’s future requires looking beyond the marketing of “affordable” government options. By understanding the long-term costs hidden in high deductibles, shifting coverage tiers, and values mismatches, Americans can make empowered choices. Private, values-driven insurance offers a smarter path—one that rewards diligence, supports wellness, and delivers real security. For those ready to move beyond the limitations of traditional marketplace plans, a simple review can reveal options designed to serve families, not bureaucracies. The American Dream thrives when individuals and families retain control over their healthcare decisions, and thoughtful private coverage plays a vital role in making that possible.
Investigate all insider trading by government officials. Fire and indict those guilty of it.
Don’t just fire them! What a non consequence! It’s a crime. Take her I’ll-gotten assets and throw the witch in prison!
L think the attack on Nancy husband was planned by her to keep him silent.
No member should be allowed to make stock trades while in office-period end of discussion now make it law.
Of course she doesn’t want to talk about it, the question is why didn’t Jake try for an answer harder. Why give her a pass. And since when do they get to talk about only what they want? That is not an interview, it’s propaganda.
Her husband getting hit with a hammer is ALL on Paul. It was one of their own demon spawn weilding a hammer caught in a tryst of perversion. Projecting? That slovenly drunken hag could write the book on that.
Pelosi needs hung! She is a traitor! She’s a drunk! She is a disgrace! Her husband is queer!
Hmm, how did Nancy become worth over $90 million on a Congressman’s salary then? Should we be Concerned?
Pelosi is almost as demented as is Joe Biden, or is it that she being an alcoholic can barely manage to ramble on with a line of pure bull shit. She has been doing Insider Trading for decades. Her husband may be good but I’ll guarantee you he is not that good because they have a net worth of over 230 million and closer to 240 Million.
Dear Nanny, all the money-grubbing you have been doing your entire life will be for naught. There is the fact that we come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing. In other words, you can’t take it with you. You are 85 years old and a net worth of over $114 million, which is more money that you can ever spend.
