The Jimmy Dore Show
Colorado Democratic Senator Michael Bennet campaigned against, and has taken a strong stand against, elected officials using their inside knowledge of upcoming legislation to buy and sell stocks. Yet in a recent “oops” moment, Bennet expressed hope about a bill’s prospects, but added that he wasn’t so sure of its passage that he was buying or selling stocks accordingly. To many observers this sounded a lot like an admission of guilt, despite the Senator’s later denials.
Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Bennet’s “gaffe” and whether he was just speaking figuratively or he is as corrupt as others in Congress who have made millions from insider trading.

Was that senator just being sarcastic?
Insider trading is a job perk for those in the know.
They passed legislature that they can trade stocks and not be under scrutiny for it. Doesn't anyone know this?
Remember that there were people using Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio to decide what to invest in. Due to this they were beating the stock market 100% of the time. That's why they no longer have to declare it publicly because they don't want you plebs to benefit from their insider information.
Trump was different because he is the first President in my lifetime to lose money while in office , that's a very different thing to the rest of them.
He's talking about publicly available information here I don't see how this particular example is insider trading.
I knew immediately when they tried to "impeach" Trump that it would fail because if they tried to open the books on him, they'd have to open the books on everyone and they are all doing the exact same things he was.
Even his voice tone is fake.
Trump made his money before he was in office. A big difference.
The entirety of our government is one gigantic clown show.
why would he even go there? why would a senator even talk about his financial activities? for a second he thought he is on MSNBC’s business channel as a trade expert
They are all corrupt, wake up America
They are all criminals…..toldyouso…follow the …$$$
its obvious that they are simply crooks !! that should all be behind bars !! if they want to trade in the stock market, then they should not be in congress ,plain and simple . it should be no question, no debvate, no vote, before they get voted in they divest their portfolios or transfer them to a blind trust, or they dont run for government positions. it should be done tomorrow ,thats what january 6 th should have been aBOUT , amoung several other crooked acts which are done daily inside the USA govt !
Jesus, i dont think Kurt can get through a sentence with out laughing. Its annoying and sounds like Kamala Harris
This just proves my fellow Coloradans (that are democrats) vote for these idiots even tho they lie to our faces…Colorado is ruined by all these dumb dumbs, the lying thriving greedy candidates and the stupid un/misinformed voters. Voted Bennett out, vote hickenpooper out, vote poleass out, vote them ALL out or just go back to California for the sake of us natives.

14 years? He has been there for 14 years? The U.S. president can only serve for 8 years and has to leave. So why can congressmen serve longer? Is there a term limit for congressmen?
The best Government money can buy!
Insider training ?
this schnook was a poor school teacher in his past .. now enjoys $5k suits & juicy perks .. it won't be right until congress and their allies are banned from wall street …
Most of our politicians like that. We need a law limiting funding political campaigns. That’s how they become corrupt
