Beyer (D-VA-8) 11/18/2021: Twitter thread – “Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than the entirety of the Beatles landmark 1965 album "Help!" Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than entirety of Pink Floyd's 1973 classic The Dark Side Of The Moon Bob Dylan's 1975 masterpiece Blood on the Tracks has a running time of 52 minutes. Kevin McCarthy's speech just passed it in length Some of you are pointing out that Kevin McCarthy's speech is NOT longer than Red (Taylor's Version) yet, and you're right. But at over an hour now, it IS longer than Fearless. Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than The Who's double album rock opera Tommy It's a deeper cut but for those who like Yes, this Kevin McCarthy speech is now longer than Tales From Topographic Oceans Link to quoted tweetChristie presser now longer than “Tales from Topographic Oceans.” Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than Stevie Wonder's 1976 epic double album Songs In The Key Of Life For the Stones fans out there, Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main St. put together Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than Red (Taylor's Version) Link to quoted tweetSome of you are pointing out that Kevin McCarthy's speech is NOT longer than Red (Taylor's Version) yet, and you're right. But at over an hour now, it IS longer than Fearless. If Kevin McCarthy had decided to listen to Prince instead of giving this speech, he could have listened to Purple Rain and 1999, with plenty of time to grab a snack and a drink in between. David, you could put on George Harrison's 1970 triple album masterpiece All Things Must Pass, listen to it all the way through, and then listen to George's underrated follow-up Living In The Material World, and this speech would still be longer. Link to quoted tweetI hoping it's less than "All Things Must Pass." #KevinGoneWild https://t.co/t0OeQlAgvG Everyone, I'm sorry, the music comparisons are getting pretty tough at this point. In fact, Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than The Godfather (1972). At 195 minutes, Kevin McCarthy's speech is longer than The Right Stuff, a 1983 film that tells the story of the Mercury Seven, the beginnings of NASA, and the early years of the Space Race. A pretty good movie. At 230 minutes, Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than David Lean's sweeping 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia At over 252 minutes, Kevin McCarthy's speech is now longer than the Extended Editions of all three films in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy Ok one more musical one for those of you who are still up, at 306 minutes, this pack of rambling lies that we'll charitably call a "speech" is now longer than Neil Young's entire solo studio discography from the 1970's, After The Gold Rush through Rust Never Sleeps. Thanks for following, hope you all enjoyed this. In the end McCarthy's speech was longer than David Bowie's entire 1970's studio output, and longer than every REM studio album with the band's original lineup put together. He did NOT stop us from passing the Build Back Better Act!

My amendments to this year's defense bill would require the U.S. to develop a comprehensive China strategy and strengthen relationships with our allies and partners. It's unacceptable that China gets the honor of hosting the @Olympics while the CCP commits genocide against Uyghurs. I offered a measure to implement a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Games—sending a strong message to the CCP while safeguarding the dreams of U.S. athletes. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was nothing short of a humanitarian and foreign policy disaster. I'm also offering NDAA amendments that expand the Special Immigrant Visa eligibility for vulnerable Afghans and commend U.S. friends and allies for aiding in evacuation efforts. It's critical that we defend our nuclear stockpile and the strategic delivery systems that are necessary to deter adversaries engaged in nuclear buildups and modernizations.
