How is meditation and yoga and some of these body practices that can help soothe your nervous system, get you off of meds like in our kids that are in trauma in our schools, like, we got to completely reevaluate how we're dealing with this.

And I just think by them stepping down, they are doing with a lot of successful companies and institutions do. And they're staying on, right?

They did run that in an ad this pass. It was like, I love Nancy Pelosi, but. We've got this problem with our brand in places like Ohio because this was right after Trump won.

“I'd be on Amazon, and within three days it's sitting in my front porch. My dogs are barking because the UPS guy's there, right? If you're in the middle of a pandemic in Ohio and you want to get your unemployment check because your business is going under and the person you work for, three months, four months. Like that was the incoming we were taking in a congressional office was all about the state government not being able to administer their services. And it could be the same with getting your driver's license. It could be like who wants to interface with any level of government right now in our society? The answer is nobody does. And so I just think like we've got to have an era of reform. Like how do we have all this technology, all these metrics? that reflects two thousand twenty two.”

“Yeah, I think obviously the protections of the intellectual property protections, security protections, all that go without saying that all needs to be in place. But we want other countries investing into the United States and creating jobs here. That's what we want. And I think that's, to me, it's not us shipping our jobs there. It's them moving their jobs here. And as long as the intellectual property and stuff like that is protected and there's no security breach, which GM would be very motivated to make sure that doesn't happen too. So I'd be all for it.”

“Our jobs are a lot of those manufacturing jobs are in China now. We have got to have a strategy on how we deal with the world.

“The hurdle is we are now a generation of Americans who didn't serve in World War II. who didn't go through the depression, who didn't see their lives connected to the broader.

“Yeah, in Western PA, like a lot of natural gas industry in Western PA. So, I think there's going to be a lot of different variables around that. And really Just, I think that the president has got to articulate a big vision for the country. That to me is like the missing piece of like, we never say the why. We just, we're always in the Jimmy Carter guy had, he's like, Democrats show up to, you know, political debate, you know, or gunfight with the 10-point policy plan. These guys are shooting at you. What's the why? Why are we doing this? Why are we doing the Inflation Reduction Act? Why are we doing the infrastructure bill? Why? And it's because the United States of America is a central country in the world.”

“Yeah, not bad. I mean, and depending on the economy and what's going on in China and COVID and, I mean, the energy issue, I think, is going to be a big issue. Now, even like all the money that went out into some of the renewable projects aren't getting online, Europe coal coming back into fashion in Europe and Asia. So what's the energy piece going to be like too?”

“Like we thought if we could get it to 17, 18, we could maybe. Do it, but she lost by 27 points. Yeah. And so that made it very, very difficult. Sherid, I think, can get the crossover.

“Yeah, it felt like everywhere we went, even in the southern rural parts of the state. But what happened was we didn't have the resources to do everything. So we had to carry our message. We had to carry the contrast message. We put some money into field. But we needed more money to get our base voters out. And we outperformed the top of the ticket for governor by 20 points. Yeah.”

“with me, she's going to run for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. So we're trying to take over the court, at least get our, you know, get a foothold somewhere in Ohio politics. And she just won, but they changed the law. And she had to put a D-buyer name, Mansfield, Ohio, 31%. Same candidate, same bench, same issues, same woman, same everything. D by her name down twenty two points from where she ran a couple years ago.”
2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yeah, totally. So I'll give you an example. A woman ran two years ago in Ohio for Justice of the Supreme Court. Jennifer Bruner, she was Secretary of State back in the day, great candidate, smart, articulate, like just wonderful. She wins. And I think it was in Mansfield. This guy was telling me a couple weeks ago. She won Mansfield with like 52% of the vote. So Democrats started winning Supreme Court races because you didn't have to be affiliated. You didn't have to put Dirar by her name. So she won. We won two or three other seats. So fast forward another year, she's going to run in November this past November.”

“That's just the mentality that we are locked into right now, and it's either or. And I think, you know, in a lot of ways the Democrats are on the wrong side of that, like just a general view of an opinion of the party, I think the Republicans are too, quite frankly. I mean, it's just like people are done with the political parties. Like, they just think they're both antiquated and haven't evolved. But that's a culture problem that we have.”

“Yeah, no, that's true. It's like, what are you going to do when they pull the tank up? I mean, like, what are you going to do with your gun? To me, it's just, it doesn't make any sense. And it's part of the culture. And that's really what I want to talk more about moving forward is like this is a cultural problem. Like the politics is downstream of culture. It's not upstream of culture. And it's a reflection of the culture. And the zero-sum game. It's like either the NRA wins or, you know, Brady Gun Reform or Gabby Gifford's group wins. It's like, no, it's like.”

“For sure. Catholic, old school, a lot of hunters, you know, just look back at like the years I worked for him, which would be 90. I think I got out of school in 95. So 95, 96, 97, like that is just politically like another century ago. It just seems like so different now. And then, yeah, I mean, you know, I was younger, I was 29, you know, and then obviously had wanted to go out and was very curious and so ended up meeting women who had abortions and having those conversations. And so people say, why'd you change your position on these? I said, because of what was going on around me in the world. Yeah, how many sandy hooks can you watch? And like, NRA's not coming to table. Like, come to the table, fix this. Like, no one wants to take your shotgun. And they wouldn't, and they wouldn't, they wouldn't.”

“That's what they did, you know. And did he do it or not do it or whatever? Were they trying to set him up? There's all kinds of games going on. He got off. And then he became congressman, so the community clearly approved of whatever or looked the other way. But I was telling my grandma when we were talking about this. I go, he wouldn't do it again. Like, he's not that crazy. He like got out. He got out of it. Like, even if he did do it, he got out of it. Second chance. He would never do something stupid again. Well, turns out he basically...

Obviously got the political bug, just won a race in that media market in the Youngstown Media Market that ended up being a big high-profile Senate race. So he's going to get indicted. I'm hearing through mutual friends like he's not going to run in the Democratic primary because the trial's coming and he can't do both. He'll win the trial and then he'll run as an independent in the fall. That was his plan. But they had him dead to rights. I mean, there was no way he was getting out of this. It was like pretty clear. So I was just like, you know, these seats come. I've been around long enough to know.”

I better figure out what I'm going to do. Oh, yeah, trafficking gave me his card. I'll call him, did an internship. And that was that.

“And I will tell you, I think most Democrats understand that. There are some that don't, but I think, like you said, like the leaders have to say that's the kind of like these big kind of structural issues we've got to open up the door to have a conversation. And in the Republicans, we're going to make it rough because many of them are not interested. So you may have to go outside of the political world. Let's begin that national conversation. Put it on C-SPAN. Like, let's do it. Like, are we going to fix this or not? Because as the clock ticks, it's going to become harder and harder on climate, on race, on all of these issues to actually fix the problem.”

“And go to the grade schools or go out into the community and do service. It was senior service, was a part of the curricula at school. So you were a leader.

“Right. So I think it's got to be a part of the conversation. And I don't think it has to be like we got to Matthew dogma for dogma. You know, it's just like appreciate the mystery of life, you know, appreciate that there may be a higher power and that there's an intelligence out in the world. And when I went to Catholic schools, I told you it's very working class. There was no like none driving the abortion argument into your head. It was about service. It was about the social gospel. It was about being a good person. It was about helping in the community when I went to Kennedy High School. I was a quarterback of the football team. Like the football team had to put their jerseys on.”
