House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's overnight speech to delay passage of the Build Back Better bill, saying, "I didn't even pay attention" to it.

Speaking to reporters Friday, the California Democrat said, "I don't even listen to most of the speeches on the other side because they're not fraught with meaning or fact. So I don't have my computer get bothered with that."

McCarthy, a California Republican, spent eight and a half hours speaking against the legislation, which the House passed on Friday morning. The remarks began at 8:38 p.m. on Thursday and lasted until just after 5 a.m. on Friday. The tirade broke the previous record for longest speech in the lower chamber, which was set by Pelosi in 2018.

"Personally, I didn't think I could go this long," McCarthy said just before yielding the floor.

2. Does anyone in Congress listen to speeches these days?

Most times when I see congressional speeches, the chamber is nearly empty.

3. I thought that was funny. She said something about there not being any content to what they say.

4. Fitting that he would hold the floor while the moon was eclipsed (obstructed).

That gave birth to the bill's passage with the moon full and unobstructed.

5. Let hers be the template for us all.

Stop listening, talking or repeating anything a republican says. Consider it septic waste. And who wants to talk about that all the time. I know I don't!
