 So of course, you know, there are two really important runoff races taking place in Georgia that will ultimately determine which party controls the US Senate And what I find fascinating is that both of the Republicans in these races Rebusted just this year Doing insider trading. So if you were caught doing insider trading, you'd think that that alone should disqualify you But yet this is still going to be a close race Because I guess that corruption is expected in DC so long as our team is doing it It's okay, but if the other team does it not okay But what's interesting to me about David Perdue is that he's more corrupt even than the average US politician Which is a really high bar to pass but he passes that easily So we're gonna talk about some new developments with regard to his corruption because it is so brazen that this man should not be a United-State sender this man should be behind bars because he is a criminal He is a crook. Now if you've watched his debate, I want to talk about that first The reason why this race is even close is because John Ossoff as much as I hate him because he stands for nothing He low-key demolished David Perdue at the debate that they had before the election. Take a look Well, perhaps senator Perdue would have been able to respond properly to the COVID-19 pandemic If you hadn't been fending off multiple federal investigations for insider trading It's not just that you're a crook senator It's that you're attacking the health of the people that you represent You did say COVID-19 was no deadlier than the flu You did say there would be no significant uptick in cases all the while You were looking after your own assets and your own portfolio and you did vote four times To end protections for pre-existing conditions. That was absolutely brutal and again I'm no fan of John Ossoff and I will say that to you every single time his name comes up But that is how you dismantle a politician now because of that You know, it is shockingly David Perdue didn't want to do another debate But yet there was still going to be another debate because if you want this seat You need to show up and debate your opponent, but you know, he didn't want another disaster So when the debate took place for the runoff, this is what happened This is the runoff debate for the US Senate seat currently held by Senator David Perdue of Georgia The candidates are in alphabetical order Democrat John Ossoff He is CEO of Insight TWI a media production company that investigates corruption organized crime and war crimes for international news organizations Republican David Perdue has served in the US Senate since 2015 Before his election he sat on the board of five major corporations and co-founded Perdue partners A global trading company senator Perdue declined to participate in this debate and is represented by an empty podium embarrassing absolutely embarrassing and You think, you know, why would you not show up to a debate if your opponent is going to be debating an empty podium? Isn't that embarrassing? But if I were David Perdue David Perdue, I wouldn't want to show up to this debate as well Because I think that just like hiding away my face That's the better strategy here because he's continued to make a fool of himself and a Report from the New York Times came out and showed that he is the most active trader in all of the United States Senate And we're learning more and more about the insider trading deal He was busted with this year now, you know the ethics panel from the Senate They basically said, you know We can't prove that he used the information that he was privy to as a US senator to do insider trading And that to me is a joke because you know, we can never prove a quid pro quo exists between large multinational Corporations and politicians, but when they take that a financial contribution from a large corporation We know implicitly that there's an agreement that you're going to do the bidding of said large multinational Corporations so you can't prove that that's a quid pro quo, but nonetheless it still is corruption. I'll be it legally It's a legalized bribe, but it's still a bribe nonetheless, and you're still peddling influence So, you know, it's laughable to think that oh well We can't prove that this is insider trading of course it is But now more evidence has come out showing you might actually be able to prove This is legitimately a case of insider trading to which he should be prosecuted for so as Roger Solenberger of salon reports senator David Perdue one of two multimillionaire Georgia Republicans facing tight runoff elections in January Drew scrutiny this spring for stock transactions made in the weeks ahead of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States While he was receiving privileged briefings on the impending pandemic According to news reports and Perdue's financial disclosures. The trades involved 112 transactions as much as $825,000 in sales and 1.8 million in purchases the timing raised flags for various reasons Perdue sold up to 165,000 in shares of a casino company that later shuttered for instance And made an investment in a company that manufactures personal protective equipment On the same day Perdue attended his first classified pandemic briefing in a series of transactions in late February Perdue Also invested up to $245,000 in the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Though the Pfizer purchase has been reported previously the events surrounding it have not one week after those stock purchases The company publicly announced it would be developing a coronavirus vaccine Although the justice department eventually cleared Perdue of his insider trading This synchronicity raises new questions about what the senator knew and when yeah, I'll say now What also is important is that his defense is falling apart Because he's maintained that it's not him who's making all of these decisions Unilaterally, he has you know this third party advisor that makes trades on his behalf So his hands are clean here regardless of what information he knew. It's not him who's making these decisions That's a lie because as sullenberger continues This spring Perdue pushed back against allegations of insider trading in advance of the coronavirus Claiming that outside advisors made the calls without his input But a bombshell new york times report last week made clear that was a lie This september justice department investigators found that Perdue had instructed one of his wealth managers to offload More than one million dollars in a financial firm after the ceo tipped off the senator in a personal email The Pfizer transactions would seem to have required even more faith in his broker Who apparently felt counter-intuitive confidence in the company's stock in the early stages of a market wide crash And during a week when its shares fell in line with the dow's overall drop of more than six percent Perdue's broker would have been similarly undaunted by the company's february 27th warning to investors That the pandemic could adversely impact its operations including clinical trials Quote the extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments Which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence Including the duration of the outbreak new information Which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact among others In particular the continued spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations Including among others our manufacturing and supply chain Sales and marketing and clinical trial operations and could have an adverse impact on our business and our financial results Perdue's broker chose to buy more Pfizer stock that day So in other words Gotcha, bitch There's nothing left to say about this. He shouldn't be running for a us senate seat He should be in prison right now for insider trading. This is very clear like this isn't Like the usual corruption that we see in dc. I want to emphasize that It's not just you know the implication that if I take this contribution from company x They are going to expect me to do their bidding and deregulate them or not impose new regulations This is different. This is him very deliberately making decisions based on information That you'd have to be a united states senator to have I mean the details here speaks for itself When no sane person would want to purchase more Pfizer stock after they released that warning to investors He did he took information when a ceo sent him an email and told him about what he should or shouldn't do This is explicit corruption. He's basically flaunting it in front of everyone's faces And if there's no Prosecution in this instance, I mean, when will there ever be a case where we can Logically deduce that insider trading is what's going on because if it's not happening here If you conclude that maybe he's innocent, maybe it's just a coincidence Then I mean basically senators can do whatever they want because if he gets away with it You can get away with anything How much more explicit and brazen do you have to be to where we actually see someone be held legally accountable who's in power? I mean if this were someone who was not a united states senator, just someone who had no power no money They would already be in prison, but the fact that there's even a question is all because of his status and his wealth Lock him up. Like what what are we doing throw him in jail? He's clearly guilty. He's corrupt And it's sad that you know, he's a united states senator He's in a position to where he really could be taking meaningful action to represent his constituents But what is he doing? He's looking out for his own financial well-being. This is disgusting. He's not just a bad person He's corrupt in the legal sense So I don't know what it's going to take But if you're this openly corrupt and you see no consequences for your actions, then I mean this is going to open the door to more corruption Right. He shouldn't even be a contender to be a u.s senator But we're beyond that like we should be talking about this man being in prison But the fact that he's probably going to get away with this It speaks to the fact that we have a two-tier justice system in the united states of america If you're rich and powerful you can do whatever you want be explicitly corrupt flaunted And nothing happens to you. You could be you know up for reelection in a runoff. That's really close But if you're a poor person you Smoke weed or sell drugs you get locked away for a really long time like how disgusting and egregious is that
