wanting to get rid of israel from the river to the sea and wanting to get rid of a one-state -- they have a one-state solution getting rid of israel. that doesn't make israel more secure and israel knows that. >> bill: thank you for your time on this breaking news day again. we'll talk soon. thank you, sir. we are awaiting a number of events still to unfold throughout the day here. vance will be in philadelphia around noon eastern time. stay tuned for that. kamala harris, tim walz will have the first moment together on stage. >> gillian: right in front of governor josh shapiro who will be at the event. >> bill: that's at 5:30. coverage for that. word there will be a press briefing at the white house. don't move. we have you covered throughout the day. great to be with you. >> gillian: thanks for having me. is it really only 11:00? >> bill: here is harris. see you tomorrow. >> harris: the breaking news this hour is pick is in.

vice president kamala harris has chosen minnesota governor tim walz as her running mate and we're told he has accepted that. we do know that last night kamala harris became the party's official nominee as virtual delegate roll call wrapped up and there might have been some discussion on that call. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." tim walz of minnesota is expected to make his first appearance with kamala harris tonight at a rally in philadelphia. hum. that's where the other leading candidate josh shapiro is the governor . many people thought it might be him. we'll get into it later. governor walz of minnesota was elected in 2018 and led the state during the violent appeared destructive 2020 rioting sparked by george floyd's killing. and republicans are reacting to kamala harris's choice. governor desantis of florida called it the most left wing

ticket in american history. congresswoman stefanik called walz a failed governor who supported blm that torched cities to the ground. senator tom cotton also hit walz for letting rioters, arsonists and looters rampage through minnesota. vivek ramaswamy says walz is a massive gift to republicans. perhaps not surprisingly former house speaker nancy pelosi likes him. >> to characterize him as left is so unreal. it is just not what -- he is right down the middle. he is a heartland of america democrat. he brings -- it is misty filing to me that seem someone i worked with right down the middle characterized on the left in this regard. that is a decision that the president -- our presidential

nominee, soon to be president of the united states has made. i respect the decision. >> harris: right down the middle. he wants to do away with fossil fuel as early as 2040. national correspondent bryan llenas is in philadelphia where kamala harris and tim walz will rally together in a few hours. and former president donald trump's running mate j.d. vance will speak in about an hour. there is a lot going on on this day, bryan. >> a lot going on indeed. no one is more surprised than the folks in pennsylvania who thought that their governor josh shapiro was indeed the frontrunner to be vice president kamala harris's running mate. instead he is scheduled to join the stage tonight here in philadelphia to support a rally that is said for harris and her pick, minnesota governor tim walz. harris posting this. i am proud to announce that i have asked tim walz to be my

running mate as a governor, coach and teacher and veteran he delivered for working families like his. it is great to have him on the team. now let's get to work. join us. walz also posting on x quote, it is the honor of a lifetime to join harris in this campaign. i'm all in. vice president harris is showing us the politics of what is possible. it reminds me a bit of the first day of school. so let's get this done, folks. join us. walz was endorsed by the progressives in the democratic party like senator bernie sanders and the united auto workers union and famous for coining the attack line calling president trump and vance weird and seen as a plain speaking midwesterner who could win over some blue collar voters in critical states like michigan, wisconsin and pennsylvania. served six terms in congress and notably he was governor of minnesota during the george floyd riots in which he himself characterized the response to the destructive riots an abject

failure. expect republicans to exploit laws signed by him. his first executive order established a dei counsel and transgender care and abortion rights, free college tuition as well as signing a free universal school meals bill. former house speaker nancy pelosi says walz the right down the middle but the trump campaign is on the attack. >> it's kamala harris's first big decision as the nominee. choosing tim walz she has proven how dangerously liberal she is. tim walz is one of the most far left governors in america. we'll spend the next 92 days insuring america knows how radical this ticket is. >> harris's decision not to choose governor shapiro, who is jewish, is being characterized by some as proof of growing

anti-semitism on the left. progressives over the last two weeks have attacked shapiro as being too pro israel. his stance on israel mirrors that of walz and other moderate democrats. this morning before we knew who harris picked, republican vice presidential nominee j.d. vance said this about the message democrats would send if they bypass shapiro. >> they will have not picked shapiro, frankly out of anti-semitism in their own caucus and party. it is disgraceful. the guy has had to run away in some ways from a lot of his biography over the last few months because the far left doesn't like the fact that he is a jewish american. >> in a new statement governor shapiro saying this. vice president kamala harris has my enthusiastic support and i know that governor tim walz is a strong addition to the ticket who will help kamala move our country forward. two sources confirm to fox the

deciding factor for harris was a concern that was first brought about by pennsylvania senator john fetterman, a fellow democrat, who reportedly his team told "politico" they were concerned with shapiro's excessive political ambitions and those ambitions would essentially get in the way or upstage harris. so that was the big deciding factor. harris. >> harris: i guess that's code for would he stab her in the back if he could get higher? not complimentary from somebody in your own party. thank you. pete hegseth "fox & friends" weekend co-host also from minnesota. we have that in common in terms of i lived there at some point. gianno caldwell and brad howard is here, president of corcoran street group. great to have you all. pete, i have to go to you first. we both have some history and living through and me covering politics in the state of minnesota. what are your top line thoughts

now? >> i've been touching base with folks back in minnesota and they're both thrilled and disgusted. thrilled because this displays how left wing the democrat party is and disgusted someone like him to be a standard bearer for a major american party. very thin skinned. people will get to know that about him. he cut the press off making critical statements. it will come to bear. he handled covid terribly, lockdown governor. he is in the cuomo card as far as nursing home deaths. chaos of the george floyd riots are well-known. less known is the covid fraud. $250 million he allowed to happen. we'll hear more about his military background. this is a guy who was a sergeant major who was about to be a command sergeant major. deployment to iraq came and walz said i'm not doing it, i'm knout and running for congress. his whole unit went to iraq, he

stayed behind. a lot of other members called him out for that and radical on sex changes for minors, blew an $18 billion surplus. i could go on and on. a failed governor in a radical left wing state that's out of control. police units don't want him showing up to funerals. they understand he is a defund the police kind of guy like kamala harris is. this is a radical ticket. americans will be exposed to it. minnesotans have lived with it. they'll have their day today but people will know more about him. >> harris: i think it's interesting, it comes from an article entitled the truth about governor walz in the national guard. in the summer of 2020 after george floyd was killed, all that we saw, the rioting, the burning things to the ground, well the issue has bubbled to the surface again talking about whether this governor exposed people unnecessarily, his own citizens by not quickly sending

in the national guard. rioters went free four nights in a row in may of that year. donald trump, former president has said this recently. every voter in minnesota needs to know when a violent mobs of anarchists, looters and marxists came to burn down minneapolis four years ago? i couldn't get your governor to act. he was supposed to call in the national guard or the army and he didn't do it. i couldn't get your governor. i couldn't get your governor so i sent in the national guard to save minneapolis. brad, you know, a lot of people may point to the anti-semitism that seems to have found at least some kind of home in your party for the uncommitted and unconstructed votes in certain states in this country and maybe you will court them, maybe you won't. this has to do with public safety and there is some criticism for tim walz. it is pretty serious. you say what? >> well, i'll say first of all it was a painful time for the black community in america.

>> harris: it was a painful time for all of america. >> look what minnesota has done. they tried to heal. now ranked fourth by "u.s. news and world report" as one of the best states to live in the country. he -- medicaid and he has access to medical and family paid leave. the most family governor in the country and now and now one of the most pro-family in the united states. >> harris: we know it doesn't have to be played for a political gain. it's being played enough. gianno. >> well, i have to tell you this pick is a massive virtue signal to all of the fractured constituents within the democratic party. we had over 18% of the democratic population in the primary vote uncommitted.

this governor said we need to focus on getting back those anti-israel voters and this is something that kamala harris absolutely wants to do. this is somebody who has been endorsed by the progressive caucus chairwoman in congress who said this was her number one pick before he was actually announced. bernie sanders and many others, it's a sanctuary city governor who wants there to be a sanctuary city there. the trump campaign noted earlier since he took office, violent crime up over 20%. this is not somebody that you would think they would want to use to unite america. no, absolutely not. someone they want to lean in more on the progressive left. certainly when joe biden ran and won people thought he was going to be a moderate. progressive said clearly they were going to push him far to the left and we see now an administration with kamala harris being the vice president and now her vice presidential pick, this is going to be a far leftist ticket period. >> harris: pete, you seem to have reaction when brad was

talking. i do want to get into this. you brought up obama gianno. i am telling me team that. pete, your thoughts. >> a left wing outlet declaring minnesota a great state to live. tell that to the people who tried to hold down a job or work in a mine that he is shutting down or go to minneapolis for a sporting event and feel completely unsafe. now there are sex changes for minors. they told they would get a $1 thousand surplus. 200 bucks and spent the rest on garbage including -- this is a win for omar, a radical group of the party that support walz and have views in the middle east. minnesotans have lived through walz have lived through chaos and radicalism and weird things. this is a guy who was willing to play -- look the part and say the part when necessary but is a

radical leftist and pursued it at every single turn. >> harris: all right. pete, i will ask everybody if you can. i'm so thankful for all three of you being here. we're watching right now live the motorcade of black s.u.v.s that has just left the residence of governor tim walz. so as he speeds along, we'll continue to watch this. we'll keep my guests in place. so this is moving forward now and we know that he has a rally with the -- i don't know if we have to call her presumptive. they voted on the phone last night on a roll call and she is the democratic nominee. i don't know if delegates got involved talking to the voters who thought they originally were putting their votes in in a primary for joe biden, but where did democracy go? we don't know. we'll be right back. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans, because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country

give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home■s value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. with automatic authority from the va we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call. $70,000. $70,000. that's a lot of money. if you're a veteran homeowner, that's how much you can take out at newday. pay off your high rate credit cards and costly car loans, make home improvements, and put extra cash in the bank with our lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan. with home values high, now's the time to turn the equity in your home into the cash you need. when you're in the military you're really close with your brothers and your sisters that are in the military with you. and when you get out of the military, you kind of lose that

until you find a new family. we can talk about our struggles and the things that we did overseas and not everybody can do that. adam! how's it going, brother? we live pretty close to each other. so he's always coming over. when i go to jack's house, we watch a lot of football, hang out. we go outside the friendship has kind of grown into a family i was overseas on a deployment. i got separated from my marines and i got hit in the neck, and it broke my neck and paralyzed me. 14 years ago, i was on a training mission. did a military freefall, and i had some faulty equipment. i hit the ground. going, 30 to 40 knots and was instantly paralyzed. i met jack fanning when he invited us to park city, utah, through his foundation. i was able to actually get on the mountain and ski with my family,

i can't put into words what that meant. i got paid in the military to do crazy fun stuff. and after my accident, i'm still that same guy. and when i was able to jump out of a perfectly good, helicopter, at 10,000 feet, i did it. i was talking to some vets last week amazing how we have these houses where they can come over because they■re in chairs too. carpet and wheelchairs don't mix very well. tunnel to towers, they got rid of all that. they redid my whole bathroom. that's probably the favorite part of my house. i thought they were just going to do the upgrades. but the surprise to me was they paid off the entire mortgage. when they told me they're going to pay off my mortgage, i cried. please contribute $11 a month by visiting t2t.org now

>> harris: former president obama has weighed in reaction to news that the now-official democrat presidential nominee has chosen a running mate. obama says like vice president harris, governor tim walz believes that government works to serve us, not just some of us, but all of us. that makes him an outstanding governor and that is what will make him an even better vice president. michelle and i couldn't be happier for tim and gwen, their family and our country. we want to bring back pete hegseth, gianno caldwell and brad howard. what do we expect to hear from kamala harris and tim walz today? >> i think you'll hear a couple things. you'll hear about their vision for the future, what they want to do over the next four years

if handed the reins to govern. same with biden administration, continuing to -- >> harris: do you think the border will come up? >> it should. the border is a priority for the country and see other things as well. you have to remember between kamala >> harris: economy, the markets having a tough day for several days. >> making sure the economy is family focused. children have access to good education, food on the table that's what you will see from this administration. not grievances and court cases, on lawsuits and criminal -- what you'll see is a focus on families. it is about time in america we get back to that focus. >> harris: i love my own family. pete, you have more children than anyone i know. so family is important. what is the metric. obama said all of us. like every american, that includes college kids that might vote for a first time. i wonder what the metric is that gets it right and again

families, we want to be in a sweet spot. we don't have to be in the only spot. is there something going on politically, do you think, with this message opposite republicans? >> for me? absolutely. they are trying to flip the tables. you hear the messaging from the left talking about freedom. the republicans want to ban books or republicans want to ban abortion. they put it in the context of freedom. words on the context of conservatives. freedom loving americans. doing the same thing with pro-family. that means we need to support sex changes for minors, pro-family we need to support any number of other radical notions for younger and younger kids. whereas pro-family for someone like vance we should make it easy for couples to get married and have lots of kids and earn a living and get a starter home and go to a school where their kids are safe and communities where it is safe. where drugs are not readily

available. where illegals aren't living in the communities. so there is a different -- they are twisting words. you'll see more pro-family pro-freedom that mean very different things said by walz and throw things out as weird. things that have worked for thousands of years and make them look weird. >> harris: we know recently harris said she wanted to reimagine public safety. we know in our recent past can look like defunding the police and so on and so forth. it is interesting. when she finally does, i think she will sit down for an interview, let's hope the questions go into that. meanwhile, some of what you just mentioned, pete. bryan llenas mentioned that governor walz claims he is the person who started the quote weird attack line against the trump-vance ticket and made it go viral. democrats and liberal media are all in. >> where is the plan? he doesn't have one. these weird ideas. >> by the way, don't you find

some of their stuff to just be plain weird? >> something weird about these guys. trump's hair is weird. >> on the other side they're weird. >> they're weird. no one wants to sit with the weird people. >> it is bizarre, it is weird. >> super weird. >> weird. >> these guys are just weird. >> harris: it is a buzz word war. all right, so the maga war room turned the attack around by posting tim walz is a weird radical liberal. what could be weirder than signing a bill requiring schools to stock tampons in boys' bathrooms or what could be weirder than signing legislation allowing minors to receive sex change operations? here is a photo of tim walz signing that legislation as governor alongside a 12-year-old boy who said he identified as a girl. gianno. >> you know, it's completely clear to me that these folks on the left who are using the weird

commentary have been around open cans of paint. the statements are delusional. divorced from reality and certainly the name calling that they accuse trump of is something that they are willing to do if they think it will help their poll numbers. the truth is they are a very weird party. that's why a lot of independents under joe biden were saying maybe i need to get back to the good old days with donald trump because what they've been advocating for hasn't helped americans. it eradicated wages. inflation has been the issue and certainly the border. this man has endorsed an open border. he has allowed as pete mentioned immigrants to get free healthcare, a number of things that african-americans, a constituency that they really desperately need, are against. they are opposed to because they have been usurping sources from the black community. how much did she go into her thought process around this

constituency or she thinks they will vote for me because i'm black? that's essentially what the thinking was. >> harris: let's pause there. more live pictures now. this is governor tim walz leaving minnesota to go to philadelphia to get ready for that rally with the now democratic presidential nominee kamala harris. and i just want to comment here that this will be the first time that we see them together in this official capacity and it is interesting that we're told -- we don't know how it will shake out until it actually happens. the governor of pennsylvania who was in the top one or two in wide reporting late yesterday josh shapiro, many thought perhaps he might get the job of being the running mate, he did not. it is his home state that he will then reportedly be standing on the dais alongside the top and bottom of the ticket. not part of that ticket. brad, why would it happen this way?

was there something going on that it looked like it might be? we know how important philadelphia is and we know how tight it is with trump and kamala harris right now in terms of polling for that battleground state. >> keep in mind josh shapiro is part of the democratic ticket. he will be campaigning with the vice president. >> harris: he is not on a ticket. stop it. don't play games. >> just how much she believes in josh shapiro and vision for the future she put him in the top two. who she thought would be better suited for her vice president for being vice president for her. she knows what that job takes and that's what she shows. her husband is jewish. this idea that she is anti-jewish is absurd. what you will see in pennsylvania is an all hands on deck effort. we have joe biden in the white house and hit the campaign trail in pennsylvania where he have was born and popular. josh shapiro and we have kamala harris and now tim walz.

>> harris: my husband is jewish, too, full disclosure. that doesn't help or keep me from knowing what the facts around this issue are. you have an anti-semitism problem in your party. ilhan omar minnesota. and tlaib. it is a problem for you. i know some were hoping cori bush and others can't go forward. politically it costs you too much. >> if they lose the primary. >> it is a stunning sidestep for the state of pennsylvania. everybody knows pennsylvania is a number one for both sides. the fact the rally was planned there, curated to be the guy, everyone inside democrat politics said moderate guy from pennsylvania who is able to get 60% of the vote last cycle.

if you can win pennsylvania there is a pathway to the white house. what was the problem? did they not get along well enough? probably not. kamala is pretty ambitious, he is. maybe that's a problem. maybe it was what you are alluding to, the reality the party has shifted and can't accept someone of his background given the radicalism bubbling underneath her base that she depends on. you will call in joe, scranton joe will save you, pennsylvania? you could have brought in the governor and side stepped him for a radical governor from minnesota who is as radical as you. he will be there. not on the ticket. and not bringing in the votes you thought. so as -- they made a big bet here. i don't think it's a good one. >> harris: did i hear you say that rashida tlaib and omar you would want to see kicked out of the party? >> i do not at all endorse their position on israel. >> harris: what exactly were you

saying there? kicked out of the party? >> voters in the district got their voices heard. those nominees were too anti-semitic and they kicked them out of the party. >> harris: wrap us and we'll go out. >> it's clear shapiro would have been a better pick to unite the country instead she said we have to listen to the anti-israel voters and get them back under the fold and that's what her intention is now. >> harris: thank you, gentlemen, we'll be right back. the smart investor has their money in a guaranteed product that goes up with the market. their gains lock in, and when the market goes down, they don't lose money. forward with their money, never backward. and we do it for our clients every day. if you have at least $100,000 to invest, get your investor's guide and see if it's right for you.

they get it. they know how it works. and most importantly, it works for them. i don't have any anxiety about money anymore. i don't have to worry about a mortgage payment every month. it allowed me to live in my home and not have to make payments. linda, dinah, joanne, very different people, but they do have a couple things in common... they love their home, and they know their stuff. they all talked about the counseling they got so they knew how a reverse mortgage worked. and how it could be a real financial solution for their retirement. if you're 62 or older and own your home, find out how you could access a potion of your home's equity to give you cash and when you need it in the future. a reverse mortgage could put more money in your pocket by eliminating your monthly mortgage payments. it could also pay off higher-interest credit cards , medical costs and give you extra cash

to help your retirement lifestyle. a person like me needed to get a reverse mortgage it changed my life, it was the best thing i've ever done. really? yes, without a doubt. these folks know, finance of america can show you how a reverse mortgage loan uses your built-up home equity to give you tax-free cash. they also know they can pay it back whenever it works for them. it's a good thing! call right now to receive your free, no-obligation info kit. the kit will show you how you could get the cash you need using a portion of your home's equity as a reverse mortgage loan from finance of america. call this number. so look, why don't you get the facts like these folks did, and see if a reverse mortgage could work for you. give finance of america a call today. call the country's number one reverse mortgage lender, and get your free info kit.

>> tim walz is the presumptive nominee for kamala harris. it highlights how radical camp hair is. a person who listened to the hamas wing of her own party in selecting a nominee. a guy who has proposed shipping

more manufacturing jobs to china, wants to make the american people more relyant on garbage energy instead of good american energy and has proposed defunding the police just as kamala harris does. they make an interesting tag team because tim walz allowed rioters to burn down minneapolis in the summer of 2020 and the few who got caught kamala harris helped bail out of jail. it is more instructive what it says about kamala harris. she doesn't care about the border, crime or american energy and most importantly she doesn't care about the americans who have made to suffer under those policies. i want to take a couple of questions and then hit the road. >> it is anti-semitism the reason why you believe kamala harris didn't choose shapiro. >> not what i believe. the democratic leadership said. many people said she was going away from josh shapiro were worried about anti-semitism and certain voters and some of the

leaders in the grassroots activists in their party wouldn't take a jewish nominee. it is despicable and disgusting but out of the mouths of the democratic leadership. we have tim walz and kamala harris. her policies have been a disaster and remain so if the american people give her a promotion. >> have you or governor walz reached out to one another. you guys have reached out. >> on the way to the flight in cincinnati i guess in northern kentucky i actually called tim walz and left a voicemail and said congratulations, look forward to our conversation and enjoy the ride and maybe he will call me back and maybe he won't. >> governor and vice president harris will take a battleground state tour over the next couple of days and trump will not be -- >> i'm making a number of public appearances over the next few days to drive home that kamala harris's policies have been a

failure for normal americans. the president trump is busy for the next few days. you have to do is raise the resources. the president is very busy doing that. he and i are taking a divide and conquer strategy to the campaign. we do events together but use the fact that we have two people to get out and prosecute a message. one final observation. i know most of you, i like all of you as wham, i like the ones i know. i think you guys have got to do a better job at forcing kamala harris to answer questions. this is a person who has been the presumptive democrat nominee for 16 days. she hasn't taken a single real question from a reporter. the american people deserve to get to know the people who want to lead them. i think it's shameful for kamala harris but increasingly for the media she is taking a basement strategy of running from reporters instead of getting in front of them and answering tough questions about her record. we take hostile questions and we

get out there and talk to people because we respect the american people enough to want to persuade them and not try to run from them. i think you guys have to do a better job is my humble opinion. >> thank you. >> harris: you don't have to chase after j.d. vance. he is giving plenty of interviews these days. it was an on-camera live gaggle with reporters before he even left the plane after landing at the philadelphia international airport. he will head to the 2300 arena where he will speak and give remarks there. you heard him saying the advantage of having two candidates that do things like this. talk to the press, also go to rallies, can do all of that. that he and former president trump definitely have that advantage. i want to bring in now pete hegseth for some reaction to what you just heard. pete. >> harris, i think that's exactly what you need to do. questions get asked, you answer it and then you pivot to policy contrast.

you answer it and pivot to kamala harris and tim walz's record. over time the record of j.d. vance, his background and resume vis-a-vis tim walz and his background and resume. what happened in minnesota and minneapolis. if folks haven't seen the fall of minneapolis, watch it. he abandoned police and his unit. vance went and did his job. contrasts like that will be made very clear. j.d. vance, you see it now slinging everything at him. names and labels. he is pivoting back to what about the border? what about crime? how did they handle covid? all those things will be key as they litigate these issues. >> harris: i want to ask you quickly and i have steve moore standing by because we'll talk about this last few days in the economy coming up. just real quick, pete. are you starting to see a difference in j.d. vance? there was criticism out of the

gate and now he does pop up press conferences and gaggles on planes. how tough will the road be for democrats with someone who is going to continuously be asked the anti-semitism question? >> yeah, he won't know. they -- the left and democrats won't be able to answer it. vance is a smart guy who knows what he believes. comes from a humble background with a stable solid family that he has built from his own bootstraps and can speak for himself. the left knows how dangerous he is so they've characterized him and mischaracterized him and run with euphemisms. this guy is good on camera and good answering questions and connects to average people in states like pennsylvania. the democrats just said we'll play our luck on pennsylvania. let's go with a guy from minnesota, a state we never lose. it may hurt them in michigan,

wisconsin and pennsylvania. j.d. vance is looking good. >> harris: i think the military part that you brought up. the differences about how both these men served matters right now particularly as we face at least two wars that involve our -- that have our involvement in terms of whether it's weaponry or advice or whatever it is or potentially more. pete hegseth, always great to have you. thank you. all right. let's get to steve moore, co-founder of the committee to unleash prosperity. an economic advisor to former president trump. the republican governor's association is calling out governor tim walz's record on the economy after harris announced him at his running mate and they point out he supported democratic policies, proposed increasing gas tax by 70% in the first budget. 70%. and since january 2021, average minnesota households spent

$30,000 plus, more due to inflation, 1,200 more per month. steve. >> well now you have a ticket, harris, that i will call left and lefter. kamala harris had as you know, the most liberal voting record in the united states senate even to the left of bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. now you have to governor from minnesota who is probably with maybe one or two exceptions one of the most liberal gov pheres in america. all those statistics you cited are true. i wanted to add one. we have done a lot of analysis of which governors handled covid the best and which handled it the worst. tim walz was a lockdown artist. he locked down the entire minnesota economy for six months. shut down schools which we know was one of the most grievous errors our country ever made.

it will be very difficult, i think, for the harris-walz ticket to defend that kind of record. i'm shocked, i have to say, i thought kamala given her left wing record would go with a moderate democrat and done just the opposite. >> harris: all of that really on point with what we're seeing today ahead of a hearing from both of them at a rally in philadelphia later. appreciate you sticking around to be with me. so important to have you. we'll be right back. newday to pay off credit card debt that's been piling up. many were shocked to learn they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year.

>> i on the way to the flight in cincinnati in northern kentucky called tim walz and left a voicemail. congratulations, look forward to our conversation and enjoy the ride and maybe he will call me back and maybe he won't. >> harris: we caught it live here. you watched it with us. that's senator j.d. vance now on the ticket with former president donald trump as he has chosen more than a week ago to be his running mate. so he is speaking. he is going to philadelphia. this is interesting. everybody will be in philly. i want to bring in gianno called well and brad howard. he is going to 2300 arena and

later today you have kamala harris officially announcing her running mate in person to the crowd there tim walz. this will be a very busy political day, gianno. >> and we got a guy that's being celebrated by the democratic party, which we know is a person who has been instrumental in policies that kill energy. you are going to pennsylvania, a state that really counts on those kinds of jobs, problematic. certainly for those people there. this is something that i think kamala harris believed that she needed to lean in on. she needed to lean in on the hard left because they have been very dismissive of joe biden and her so to speak. this is going to cement that relationship with the progressives. it is unfortunate for the rest of the country, though, who is looking for more of a moderate candidate. somebody who can bring people together and focus on the economy. something that this particular vice presidential candidate has not been able to do for his own state. it's a problem. >> harris: i want to bring in two things. one you are going to see in a

moment we'll take split screen with j.d. vance making his way for the rally at 2300 arena in philadelphia. you will see some of that. that's the lectern there. unless he could vanish there off the airport and appear here we may not see him before we get off the air. president biden released statement on the harris-walz ticket saying it will be a powerful voice for working people and america's great middle class and the strongest defenders of our personal freedoms and democracy. it is time for all democrats and americans committed to freedom to rally behind the harris-walz ticket. this is interesting. we were talking previously -- it got a little spicy between you and me, brad. it is interesting to see that far left courted but also told to get in line and vote with everybody else. that's what that messaging

appears to say when you know that she has got cori bush in st. louis facing a tough situation there with voters. and you have others who are on the far left as you said and these were your words kicked out of the party by the voters, you said. i want to get your take how do you court the far left and whip them into what you want them to do? >> look, harris, our conversations are feisty and thank you for having me on. look, democratic party is a big tent party. we welcome all viewpoints. that's what the primary process is for and why you have these discussions ongoing in the democratic party. we are united behind keeping donald trump and j.d. vance out of the white house and making sure that kamala harris and now governor walz are there to lead this country forward. previous speaker talking about picking a moderate for v.p. trump picked an extreme maga at the border.

>> harris: that is not true. donald trump told me personally a few hours before the assassination attempt on his life, i was the last reporter to sit with him before that. he personally told me that project 2025, yeah, he knew some people involved in it but it was way, way, way too far on abortion. he didn't sanction that. that wasn't part of what he was into project 2025. perhaps if you talk with him in person you will get more details on that as well. i want to talk about the border now. because walz was viewed by some as a moderate when first elected governor. then he has governed more to the left than expected. supported universal free school meals. voting rights for former prisoners. drivers licenses for illegal immigrants and recreational marijuana and made abortion a fundamental right. gianno, let's talk about

sanctuary states and where tim walz has stood on that issue. >> he has been somewhat endorsed the policy. it was great for vance to hit him on that. that will be an important issue. crime across the country which has gone up since the protests in george floyd where he admits that his handling and response to it was an abject failure, which i agree with him on. this is going to be a really shift in the campaign. you cannot call him a moderate, which they called him a moderate when he was a member of the house of representatives. we know as a governor he has not governed like a moderate but like an extreme leftist. this is where we see the shift in the campaign and what will be the track for kamala harris. she will lean as far left as she possibly can thinking she will be able to get those young people who were protesting on college campuses across the country, who in some cases have

said they support hamas, not simply just the palestinian people. these are the folks that they will be looking to talk to because they lost many of them over the course of months under joe biden. so now they are looking to get them back. she believes that as a woman she can utilize her abortion stance to try to get suburban women. as someone who said multiple times she is a black woman. she will be looking to get the black voters, to bring back into the coalitions, donald trump has been usurping many of those constituents to his side. >> harris: we're waiting for j.d. vance, the republican vice presidential nominee to come up and talk and give a rally there in philadelphia. i wanted to mention and i want to get back to sanctuary state law in minnesota. the north star act. legislation to give minnesota sanctuary state status. how many americans is that really popular with? i know the state is divided. i used to live in hennepin

county. hennepin and ramsey counties are sanctuary cities. how do you sell that to the american public when you know that illegal immigration in particular is a problem? quickly from you. >> first these are bills that the legislature had passed given governor to sign and he signed them. >> harris: he didn't have to sign it. >> i know. he did sign it. about the story of minnesota and how it is one of the top five places in the can up tree to call home and run a business and the agenda is focused on freedom and families. letting parents raise the kids the way they want to raise them. >> harris: i'm glad you both could join me. we'll bring you back. a lot of breaking news this hour. we are covering it all here on "the faulkner focus" and up next "outnumbered" after the break. they get it. they know how it works.
