So, right, what you heard is they laid out who was going to make the case, then the immediately made a motion to be able to add, like that the speakers could add to their remarks on the record for up to five days. So I'll give you a little bit of inside baseball here. I'm sorry, Dustin, you broke up there because I was walking through it.
Go ahead. Sorry, it may interrupt you. No, no, go ahead.
Well, just finish the point on that, and then we'll give it to Nick. So, again, they reserved the right to add to their on-the-record remarks, which means that they can wrap it up quickly, assuming that they don't see this as a big opportunity, because it's the middle of the night. They almost certainly will, like, very curtail their time to let Jeffries do his, like, hour of grandstanding or whatever.
Yeah, so the thing, like, so Joaquin Jeffries has the, quote-unquote, magic minute.
Any member of leadership, well, you have Mike Johnson can do a magic minute. The regular members have one minute to speak on the floor, and they have the right to do that.
SourceThe magic minute is unlimited. You can sit there, and he can speak for 18 or 180 hours, whatever he can do. But at this point, you know, just being honest with you, like, they already know.
This is all mapped out at this point. That's why we know what time it's probably going to be voted on, because this is all performative. Every step at this point is performative.
Joaquin Jeffries can speak for however long he wants to, because he is the leader of the Democrat Party. But he's already, like, scheduled his remarks between 45 minutes and an hour. So, you know, he's going to act like he's big and bad, and actually fighting and doing something.
