Tim Ryan

We've got some work to do, but we've got to remember there's a lot of people running for office out here that are going to continue that. That's why this next election is going to be a big deal.

Again, a very, very powerful statement. I don't think you can sentence them for enough years for what they've done.

I love it. I mean I think it meets the moment. I mean what we saw on January 6th, everything you guys just talked about, this meets the moment. This means the judicial branch is actually acknowledging how important this is to move this…

When are we going to wake up? When are we going to have the guts to level the playing field, the guts to take on China, the guts to do what’s right, so our kids and grandkids can thrive in the United States, we have got to make these…

He’s in politics for the people who shower after work and not before.

This infrastructure bill is about two things. This is about putting money in the pockets of the American people who’ve had a rough go for the last 40 years. And this is about taking on China.

What you`re mad about is that we are delivering for the American people. We saved pensions. We cut taxes for working class people, invested in the communities, invested in the schools and now universal preschool. Everyone can go to…

I hope the American people start seeing what we`re trying to do both for outcompete China and then finally cut these middle class workers in on the deal.

We`re fighting to try to get the 1 percent, 1.5 percent of our GDP for infrastructure. So, I think what we`re doing is really a down payment on what we need to do to be competitive.

I said, Lawrence, this is the most pro-business bill I`ve seen in my time in Congress because it is going to increase productivity.

I mean, it`s something we all should be worried about. I think this is a great threat to our democracy, when you have an insurrection, people scaling walls, hitting cops with lead pipes across the side of the head, and the -- almost the…

Any time you`re trying to talk about hitting the speaker of the House with a gavel, you`re in the wrong.

This infrastructure bill is key to our competitiveness because it`s going to plug in to a lot of communities.

We need to have everybody on the field playing with the team USA jersey, and that means infrastructure.

I agree with them, I do talk about fight for the worker. I mean, that has been the history of my career, and, you know, we`ve got a long record of delivering for workers in my community and across the country.

The only thing that needs to change for us to make significant progress on infrastructure, on voting rights, on these different issues, cutting people back in on the deal, cutting workers in on the deal is to get rid of the filibuster.

There’s these looming threats to our democracy. There’s the looming threat to our economy. There’s a looming threat to our people’s health and our citizens’ health and well being.

Mitch McConnell has said he has no interest in working with Democrats. He wanted to destroy Barack Obama’s presidency. He wanted to -- now he wants to destroy Joe Biden’s presidency.

I think it proves, Lawrence, that the senate is absolutely broken. We passed that from the house. It went to the Senate. We couldn’t even get a compromise with Joe Manchin bringing another opportunity to vote for it.

I want to thank the gentleman from New York and the other Republicans who are supporting this and thank them for their bipartisanship. To the other 90 percent of our friends on the other side of the aisle, holy cow. Incoherence. No idea…

Incoherent, no idea what you`re talking about. Benghazi, you guys chased the former secretary of state all over the country, spent millions of dollars. We have people scaling the Capitol, hitting the Capitol Police with lead pipes across…

They don`t want anything to do with it, and we`re going to move on and rebuild this country without them because we got some big issues that we`re trying to deal with and they`re talking craziness that everyone can watch the video and see…

You know, you give the president credit -- the patience of Joe. You know, he`s out there... and these guys in many instances are acting like imbeciles denying what is happening in front of our very eyes.

Appalling, Lawrence, when you think of over 100 police officers were injured, were getting beat upside the head with lead pipes, trampled on, sprayed with pepper spray, you know.

We have got to act. Wages. Where a CEO in the late `70s made 35 times what the worker is making, now they`re making 300 times what the worker is making?
