Good morning, Sunday morning!
I think maybe just maybe that the third-in-line to the presidency might be having some serious issues. Check out this interview with Nancy Pelosi on Thursday:
Um... what?
"Bird and privilege"?
"Privilege scrub"?
"Privilege drug is deadly to a bill. Bird."
...We just want to make sure that what we send is not birdable. Bird bath (back?) or privilege scrub."
I'm sure that all made sense to her but I am stumped.
Maybe she is referring to the Byrd Rule for passing bills through reconciliation?
Let's watch one more time with some very helpful automatic subtitles:
That still didn't help much. Let's see if a parody video helps:
Yeah, I'm still stumped. Here's apparently the official transcript:
The other thing that we're getting or – we're sending stuff over to the Senate. Most of the product that we've done is – except now we may have added in the last hour or so – and some of what we added is Senate, to the bill, like hearing.
Bernie doesn't like hearing – excuse me – Bernie loves hearing [aids for the medical provisions of the bill??]. Manchin doesn't want hearing in the bill and all that stuff. So, some is Senate-oriented, and then we have the family/medical leave. We figured if they're putting things in, then we can put something in, even if Manchin doesn't like it.
So, we are getting some Byrd and privilege. I think mostly we're getting privilege scrub because privilege scrub is deadly to a bill. Byrd? Well, it's important. You have to take it out, but a privilege violation can take you out.
Yeah... okay.
You okay, Nancy?
Should we maybe be concerned about the most powerful people leading this nation?
