  1. Yeah, yeah, no question. I think it's part of the framing of Democrats are not like us, right? People who go to church every day, you probably see it in the polling of how many times a month you go to church.

  2. We've seen drop off of African American voters. We've seen a drop off of Latino voters, both kind of faith-centered communities, right? Whether it's, you know, Or AME or Catholic on the Latino side. And I think

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  3. They're grindin'. They're just trying to do everything right and they're working in, you know, some glass shop, you know, manufactures glass in the middle of Ohio and they're making $22 an hour, which isn't great, but it's not bad. But you got to work six days a week or you got to work seven days a week if you want your kid to have a car, if you want your kid to go to college, or if you want to, you know, you put the pool in or whatever, like whatever's going to bring your family some joy, you're the one going to that steel mill and grinding it out. And your spouse is probably home, you know, keeping things together too. And I just think doing that for 20 years or 30 years, like at some point you're like, screw everybody. Like, I'm not voting. Democrats are full of crap, especially when...

  4. There's just this idea of being on a treadmill and you just can't get off. You're going too fast to jump off, but you can't stop. There's no way off of this thing. And I just, I see these people and I saw them, you know, around the state campaigning. And

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  5. Yeah, I agree. And no one went to jail. No one like it, how did all this happen? No one got punished. And I'm still stuck.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  6. Anger, cynicism to the broader electorate. And then that got stuck to the Democrats. I thought one of Trump's best lines he had in 16. Was when he'd say her husband to Hillary, her husband passed NAFTA. You can put her in office? And like all the working class guys in Youngstown are going, yeah, that doesn't seem like a good idea. You know,

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  7. I was just the most. I mean, you guys, you know, the ad you guys ran in 08. With the guy from Toledo, I think it was like it was that kind of sentiment. And it just instilled a level of betrayal.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  8. It's just the loss. Like we didn't see any of the upside that everyone kept talking about the benefits of globalization, comparative advantage, all that stuff I later learned about in school. And the economics classes, it's like, well, nobody did anything. Like there wasn't a response to the shifts. And we literally had factories in Warren, Ohio, Delphi was a supplier to General Motors literally would go after NAFTA, would go to the Miquilodoras right over the border. Build a huge factory. Our jobs left jobs there grew, and our people had to go over the border and literally train them that were going to take their job. Digging your own grade.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  9. Mindfulness. Yeah. And so I think it goes to me, it goes back to like just kind of that spiritual dimension of what don't we see here and what's going on there, I think led to a lot of my curiosity about some of these other world religions and things like that.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  10. It was big. It was big. I was Altar Boy, you know, and came up My confirmation sponsor is a priest here at Notre Dame, Father Ron Nuzzi. We always had priests over for the holidays. They would come and join our family, one who left a big influence on the family. Every time he was back in town, he'd stop over and have a Scotch or two and give me my brother 20 bucks. And like, you know, look out for us. And so the church was a big part of that. And I always credit that as my later development into like meditation and yoga and that kind of thing. It's a huge thing.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  11. And we were the quarterbacks. So we had to have our brains working. So we started having fish on Friday before the game. But she would like my mom. You know, we'd have a scapular on, you know, and we would have a cross that would be taped to our thigh pad. You know, we would have something taped to our shoulder pads. Like we were, we were decked out. We were ready.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  12. Yeah, Mike, they live two blocks down. My grandmother had, there were six of her generation. And so that was the family, the Gueras, which is now kind of more of a Latino namer. In Spanish means war, but they were all the Gueras. And that was the crew. So, yeah, I mean, it was just, and it was Bochi, it was picnics, it was Sunday dinner, it was, you know, pasta, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, pasta fazula on Friday. You know, me and my brother became quarterbacks and my grandmother read an article and whatever. Yeah, carb up. Fish was good for your brain. Oh.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  13. Yeah, it wasn't an elite Catholic school. It was a working class Catholic school, like back in the day where the dad would work a couple extra shifts a month to pay for the tuition. And the tuition wasn't crazy, but it was more, you know, it was a choice that you made to send your kid to a Catholic school. you know, guys that worked in Steel Mills kids and the guys who worked at the auto plants kids and the suppliers kids and just work in class. And that's kind of how we grew up.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  14. You got to pick a side, you know, and for whatever reason, you know, being that age, you know, you don't have quite the relationship with your dad that you have with your mom. And then there were some ups and downs along the way, but that was the house, and my grandparents lived two blocks down, and our lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School was one block away. So that was like, that was, where were my going, you know, the neighbor kids where our best friend's growing up. So, yeah, I mean, but it was all, you know, it was kind of very working class. Like I went to Catholic school. I went to Our Lady Mount Carmel Catholic School. I went to John F. Kennedy Catholic High School and played sports a whole nine yards. But it wasn't.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  15. It was just kind of an acrimonious divorce. And like, you know, I'm going to be 50 and like people my generation now like handle it so much different. Like, you know, 1979, it was like a death match. You know, that's just how things went down back then. It's like a steel cage match between your parents. And you're going, what the fuck is going on here?

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  16. Yeah, we reconnect. When I got married, my wife, you know, to her credit kind of called him up and said, this is insanity. You need to know your son and your sons. And that was the process. And so now we're like rock solid. That's great. It's great. It's a great story. Yeah. It really is.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  17. Yeah, no, I don't think so either. I mean, you have to really, as a Democrat at this point, like it's got to be a really egregious kind of violation of the values of the party and whatever. As a Republican, they're just like, you know, Charlie Chris hugged Barack Obama. Like, let's go get him. You know what I mean? Like in the middle of a complete economic collapse. Let's go after them. That kind of thing. I think that's happening more and more. And it could be one interview you've done with the wrong person or you took a picture with the wrong person. Like that could they're looking for that stuff.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  18. I think they're going to try, but you know, they're up for election again next year, and they know none of them want a primary. Now they're being called chairman, right? And so they don't want to give that up. And so they're not going to risk a primary against the red meat crowd and sacrifice their position. And I think this has been the problem with the Republican Party is they continue to kick the can down the road, hoping that there's something breaks and they'll be able to maintain their power and yet things will break. But I just don't see it happening. I just don't see it happening. And I don't see them being able to take on in any significant way.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  19. No question No question She knew members of Congress better than they knew themselves She's tough. And McCarthy's the complete opposite of that. You know, McCarthy is the one who, as we saw throughout however many votes, how could he appease?

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  20. Yeah, no shot. I mean, like the tails wagon, the dog, and that never happened when Nancy Pelosi was speaker. And I remember going back to the war, you know, going back to Dennis Kucinich and there were some progressives who, you know, once we took over in 06, January of 2007, we wanted to get out of the war. And, you know, you couldn't get out fast enough for some of the progressives. They weren't going to vote for getting out of Iraq in six months or nine months or whatever the number was at that point. And I just remember seeing Nancy Pelosi on the floor talking to these progressive members and they all voted for it. They all voted for the compromise. And they all voted for the compromise on the Affordable Care Act and on everything that we did together because of her.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  21. The cost of a public servant who's a doctor, really you're going to, of all the issues you can bring up, you're going to go after this guy. I just think it illustrates the kind of guy he is.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  22. Governing, and you know, the whole episode was like, it was just like that's Kevin McCarthy. Like, he will take a shot. He will punch down. He will punch down at someone who can't defend themselves.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  23. And so it also funds the attending physician. And so like McCarthy was up on the house floor, minority leader, and he starts going after the attending physician of the House of Representatives, like Dr. Moynihan, who's like the greatest guy. He's your doctor, you know. He organized, he takes care of the members of Congress. And this guy uses his position as minority leader on the House floor to publicly trash the attending physician who's the attending physician going to do go to the House floor and respond to this?

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  24. Oh, I bet. I just think he's chicken shit, like between me and you. I mean, I just had this experience with him that I think illustrates the kind of person he is, right? We were going through the whole mask thing on the floor and it was in the middle of COVID and I chaired the legislative branch appropriations committee that funds the Capitol Police.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. I get it. I mean, you know, you've been in there and I've been in there to some degree, but you got people coming at you all the time for all kinds of stuff.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  26. I think you take full responsibility, say it was wrong, and try to move on. I don't think there's any way to sugarcoat it. There's no way to soften it. You think it's wrong. Take responsibility and try to move on.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  27. I had to see the shit show. And so, yeah, I think it's just going to be a continuation of kind of what we think is going to happen. It's the debt ceiling. It's the appropriations process. It's what lever can we pull to cause chaos. And that'll happen through the committee process with Hunter Biden and that whole thing and now the files, the classified material. And then the big stuff on the House floor will, you know, it'll be conflict and it'll be chaos, I think. I want to ask

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  28. Yeah, I was actually in Florida on And I was like, mom, I'm not checking my phone. But I had to check it once a day. I just had to see what was going on. Well, Disney World.

    2023-02-02 · The Axe Files with David Axelrod · Ep. 520 — Tim Ryan · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. I'm having a ball, honestly, like I'm coaching my, it's been weird. The transition has been weird because you're just so, you're always so geared up towards a campaign or it was on the appropriations committee. So where are the bills and where are they at and what do we have in them? And like you're home, you know, and that the honeydew list gets a little longer. I'm coaching my eight-year-old's basketball team and flag football team. That's been like a hoot just to kind of be there with him. It's just been a lot of fun. It's been a whole new thing
