President Trump Calls For Nancy Pelosi To Be INVESTIGATED | Drew Hernandez

President Donald Trump called for an investigation into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding allegations of insider stock trading during a bill signing ceremony. He made these remarks on July 30, 2025 in the context of discussions around the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, a bill aimed at banning stock trading by members of Congress, the president, and vice president.

Trump accused Pelosi of amassing wealth through inside information, claiming she achieved “the highest return of anybody, practically, in the history of Wall Street, save a few.” He further stated that Pelosi “made a fortune with her husband” and that it was “disgraceful,” attributing her success to knowing “exactly what’s going to happen.” Pelosi responded to the accusations by calling them “ridiculous.” minds.com/newsfeed/17977902332…

»The time has come. It is no longer possible to beat around the bush and avoid giving an answer. We can no longer hide, evade, mumble, mollify and obscure. Nor can we hang on to legal sophistry about the "question of intent" or to wait for the ruling of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, which may only be handed down once it's too late.

»It's already too late. That is why the time has come to call the horror by its name – and its full name is genocide, the extermination of a people. There is no other way to describe it. In front of our horrified eyes, Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip. It did not begin now; it began in 1948. Now, however, sufficient evidence has accumulated to call the monstrous child in the Gaza Strip by its full name.«

in reply to stephie

»The significance is severe. To live in a country whose soldiers are carrying out genocide is an indelible stain, a distorted face peering back in t. mirror, a personal challenge for every Israeli. This term raises deep questions about t. country & our part in t. crime. It reminds us where we came from & raises tough questions about where we're going. T. easiest thing now is the burden of proof. T. legal corroboration may well come from The Hague, but the moral evidence is piling up every day. «

in reply to stephie

»For months, the very few in Israel who see in the Gaza Strip the question of intent have been suffering. Does Israel truly intend to commit genocide, or perhaps it has unintentionally caused the results? This question has become superfluous. It is not the amount of killing and destruction that has taken it off the agenda, but the systematic way they are carrying it out.«

in reply to stephie

»When you destroy 33 out of 35 hospitals – the intent is transparent, and the debate is over. When you systematically erase entire neighborhoods, villages and cities – the doubts as to your intentions have come to an end. When you kill dozens of people every day waiting in line for food – the method has been proven beyond any doubt. When you use starvation as a weapon – no question marks exist any longer.«

in reply to stephie

»Nothing is missing any longer to understand that what is happening in Gaza is not the collateral damage of an ugly war – it is the objective. The mass starvation, destruction and death are the goal, and from here the path to the conclusion is short: genocide

Israel clearly intends to bring about the destruction of Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, to turn it into an unlivable place. It intends to ethnically cleanse it, whether by genocide or population transfer – preferably both. «

»This doesn't mean the plot will succeed completely, but it is moving in the direction of this absolute solution. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the father of this plot and its chief executor, calls it by the name "total victory," and this victory is genocide and population transfer. Netanyahu and his government will not compromise on anything less. Meanwhile, the Jewish parties in the opposition have no one who really objects.«

»Israel no longer has anyone who will stop this march to genocide; there are only those who are ignoring it. As frightening as it may sound, the danger exists that it will not stop in Gaza. They have already set up the ideological and operational infrastructure for it in the West Bank. Israel's Arab citizens may very well be the next in line. There is no one to stop it, and we must stop it.«
