A puzzling video of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has sparked widespread speculation, leading some to question her mental state.
In the video shared on Pelosi’s official social media account, the former Speaker of the House appears drowsy and seems to have difficulty keeping her eyes fully open.
“Hi, it’s Nancy,” she begins, in a monotone delivery that has left many viewers scratching their heads. “I’m on my way to Washington to proudly represent the people of San Francisco in Congress.”
Pelosi assured her supporters that she is prepared to “bring San Francisco values” to Washington, D.C., but her demeanor sparked discussion on social media. Many speculated that her behavior could be influenced by medication following her reported hip replacement surgery in Germany last month.

One user joked, “Oxycodone’s a helluva drug, especially with a vodka chaser!” Another declared, “She can barely open her eyes. High on painkillers.”
“We don’t need San Francisco values in DC! We need MAGA values!” another user commented. Still another added, “What are ‘San Francisco values’? Robbing, looting, and camping on the street?”
“We need term limits and mandatory drug tests on Capitol Hill immediately,” wrote one user.
Top-ranked podcaster Joe Rogan and former Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich last week discussed how unusually successful Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her husband, Paul Pelosi, are in the stock market, drawing new attention to a subject many of her critics have highlighted in the past.
The estimated worth of the Pelosis is around $240 million as of July, according to a Times Now report. That is up significantly from an estimated $171.4 million in 2021, according to Newsweek. Pelosi has long denied any wrongdoing despite many concerns from both sides of the political aisle.
“Her estimated net worth has increased significantly since 2008 thanks in large part to the success of her husband, Paul Pelosi, who is a venture capitalist and property investor. It’s not possible to know the precise net worth of members of Congress as they are only required to provide a range of values in their financial disclosures and not specific dollar amounts,” Newsweek noted.
The Washington Free Beacon also estimated then that Pelosi’s net worth had risen by $140 million since 2008.
Many have speculated — without providing any evidence — that Pelosi, as a member of Congress and especially during her two tenures as Speaker of the House, was privy to insider information regarding companies that were set to explode in value or to lose value as a way to explain the couple’s outsized success in the stock market.
During the Rogan podcast, the host told Blagojevich that someone developed an app called Autopilot, which tracks stock trading by members of Congress, including Pelosi.
“Oh, it’s so good,” Rogan said. “I’m not really a stock market person. I don’t pay attention. But, I do know people that are very invested in the stock market. And ‘Pelosi stock tracker’ is legit. Like, you could find out what she’s buying and you should buy it.”
“She’s a really good stockbroker Rod,” Rogan added sarcastically. “She’s super good at it.”

Earlier this month, a Republican senator said he believes that President Joe Biden’s call for a ban on congressional stock trading on his way out of the White House is a “dig” at Pelosi, who has come under scrutiny for years over her and her husband’s successful investments.
“I don’t think (Biden) and Nancy Pelosi are getting along very well right now after Pelosi fired him from being president,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) told Alabama Daily News. “I don’t know how she was able to do that, but she convinced him to get out of the race, which he should have, but it was her.”
