4:00 pm
brings a state yes. and he brings an experienced ship and kind that is very, very palpable. >> and ashley, i was talking to somebody who, knows him calls well, who spoke to him along the lines of what acts was just saying about being shot out of a cannon, saying as much as you can stay true to yourself. yeah yourself, and don't let the thin oxygen where you're going to be up in the stratosphere, get to and i think that's what you're seeing and why people are resonating with it there's an authenticity authenticity nature to it to the bracelets that you got at the renaissance tour or the era's tour for the health rule, right and beyond faith freedom song that she walked out to some of the biggest pop culture icons in the world, helping to lift up this campaign telling the story of self, a daughter of immigrants, but also a former teacher
4:01 pm
>> and a climate when teachers or so under attack you know, i'm a former teacher. i see myself feeling you get when you look at this ticket that anything is possible, you can come from nebraska or you can come from san francisco when you can run for the top offices of the land that is what this country is about. >> that as the greatest part of america, jamie, you have some great new reporting about the process, the vetting process that tim walz went through, and the conversations that he had, including this moment on the teleprompters site is so most people don't know this yet, but one of the things that tim walz confessed when he had his betting was he he said to the team if you pick me, i have to share something with you i've
4:02 pm
never used a teleprompter before. i don't use them in big sigh of relief when he told them what the big news we're you have to have a vulnerability that was one, you want and you said you're going to have to get me a teleprompter. >> you're going to have to get someone to teach me how to do it. and our colleague, mj lee has reporting that in the hours before that speech, guess what? they had a teleprompter backstage and he was practicing with it i just want to add someone texted me. >> he reads republican and i think that is the reason i was told by people who were familiar with the vetting that he was a favorite candidate because he may not be governor shapiro of pennsylvania, but they feel he will connect an
4:03 pm
attract voters in michigan and wisconsin, in georgia, in north carolina. >> that his midwestern nice will play elsewhere i also just want to say about that speech is one of the reasons that harris picked him that's his superpower he is authentic. he knows how to deliver even a tough line with a smile, where the line of the night i thought was when he said, let's be clear, crime was up under trump that part i'm paraphrasing but then he turned and he said and that's not even counting the crimes he committed. it brought down the house. okay. so let's ask republicans are former republicans still republican support about i'm still i was looking at a list. you can't say we're looking at these pictures. i was looking at alyssa the whole idea of his
4:04 pm
appeal we see in here the trump campaign, j.d. vance, i mean, they're going full steam ahead on saying he's a progressive and she's too liberal and so on and so forth. >> is that going to fly when he delivers lines away? >> he does. when he looks the way he looks when he has the background that he does. >> so listen, this was a flawless rollout for all intents and purposes and i have a feeling that donald trump was feeling pretty confident this morning when governor josh shapiro was not the picked somebody who was a moderate that they were a lot more afraid of running against, but they shouldn't get too confident with this choice because mike waltz yes, has a progressive record that they're going to attack the court hands down. they're going to but to jamie's point, he reads like a normy uncle, dad, white guy in the midwest. and i think that he's somebody who can play in those critical swing states. wisconsin, michigan, his home state of minnesota, but also in
4:05 pm
pennsylvania. and then he's boosted by the fact that a moment for josh shapiro knocked it out of the park at the kickoff of this and made very clear he's going to be out campaigning for this ticket. so it's not like it was a net loss that you didn't get the ship euro factor this was a very, very strong event. however, there are flaws of mike waltz. there's a reason not to one of the name id there are there things that are going to be really relitigated like the riots in the summer of 2020, his slow walking, calling out the national guard, something that's been a vulnerability that republicans have called out kamala harris for but he no, i think they're prepared for what the attacks are and if they stick to the script tonight, it will work and scott, as you come in, one of his friends, told me this morning that his scent that his superpowers, how moment? is he i mean, i don't know. i don't know this guy. i mean, is it normal to let your biggest city
4:06 pm
in your state ban while you're the governor for four days, destroying thousands of businesses, hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage. while you do nothing is it does that sound normal? his normal for your wife to say she opened the window so she can let the smell hello of tyre fires waft in. so they can take in the smells of this radical chaos and anarchy on the streets of minneapolis. i don't i don't view any of that is normal. i look at this through the lens of decision-making. >> in two cases. >> they've showed us who they are kamala harris. >> absolutely. >> bowed down to the radical left and her party by not picking shapiro who is jewish there was a nasty campaign run against him everybody knows that no one wants to admit it, but everybody knows it issue about the she and she wound up choosing the person who was not jewish and not as talented. >> and not from the state that she has to win. he did a nice job tonight. everybody can see why he was the best choice, but she couldn't do it because the party is somewhat a wash and
4:07 pm
antisemitism and for what and for walls when he did what he did during the riots. to me, it was him saying, i don't have the strength or the character to stand up to this anarchy. so in two big decision points for this ticket, they've showed us they will always bowed down to the radical left. so i think if you, if you want to talk about normal to them normal people in this country bowing down to the radical left is not normally shouldn't be normal. it should be a flashing red light to the normies of america that this is not the ticket for you you know, one of the big issues in this election is a woman's right to choose and guess what? kamala harris got a choice to make, and she got to make the choice who was going to be harmed? finding me and who she was going to go into the next 90 days. it and maybe the next four years and maybe the next eight years. you don't get to tell her who she has to run with. she gets to choose that that's what leaders do there's no way you can say tim waltz is radical because he wants to feed kids. he doesn't
4:08 pm
want kids to go home. you know, who are who gets hungry? white kids, like kids, brown kids, poor kids get hungry. that doesn't discriminate but that's not, that's still wants his policy that it was radical to let minneapolis burn. >> you agree what but let's go back to 2020. >> if you want to have a contest about who's more radical, you know, it was radical sending troops out to clear protesters out in front of the white house. so he could have donald trump could have a photo op. want to know what's radical, not telling people on january safe to stop that you lost the election and that trip, his own vice president, mike pence, won't come in football field length of him right now. that's radical that your guy is. i'll take to him off. >> there should have been there should have been troops on the streets of minneapolis immediately it was burning we just let me just say one thing while before you come in. >> and that is because you brought up josh shapiro? >> yeah. we have been talking about the fact that there was a campaign against sam ugly that was clearly i want to say
4:09 pm
because based on the fact that he was jewish, he doesn't have any different policy ideas than the other people. >> however, i don't think we have any evidence that that is why she didn't pick him in fact, act if you watched him tonight, i want to stay on the people who are on the ticket, but if you watched him tonight, he is top of the ticket energy? >> yes. >> not vp energy. >> there's no way in my way i know jamie reporting and there is somebody have some visibility into this? >> yes. i think there was a real i don't think he was excluded for that reason. i'm not sure he was excluded at all. i think there was a mutual meeting of the minds as to whether this was the right fit for him with her. i appreciate as the only oh, no, no, you're here. but just let me oh, yes but i appreciate your eye. you know anti-semitism is something that a lot of us have faced in
4:10 pm
different ways. and my family has faced and so on i don't i'd like to see it exploited here. one of the things that separated this rally from a trump rally is it felt very wholesome. >> it felt very positive. it wasn't just a series of sort of appeals to hate and division and grievance and so i think yeah. no. i mean, i understand the talking point. i'm sure we'll hear more hear me one second was god scott. >> one moment take a beat. i think it's important to add to that two things that we have from our reporting one is that even going into this selection josh shapiro had some let's just say hesitancy or questions about whether he wanted to be the number two you may remember that three weeks ago, there were a lot of people who were
4:11 pm
not sure that kamala harris was going to be the most exciting ticket. >> it feels very different now than he is someone who definitely has ambitions to run and he was looking at down the road. and we have new reporting tonight from our team that in fact when he went into his vetting meeting and also in his in-person meeting with harris, he made it very clear what kind of vice president he wanted this to be. it was much more of a two for the price of one. he wants to be in the room. he wanted to have a real say in these things. there are sources we've talked to who feel that in those meetings. shapiro sort of set the stage, not to be as her number two. yeah okay. >> everybody standby because
4:12 pm
our special coverage is going to continue we just saw the first rally with vice president harris and governor walz. and we're going to continue talking about that. jake tapper is going to be with us again from philadelphia. maybe he's gonna have a wristband. i don't know. kaitlan collins is going to join as well, stay with us erin burnett outfront he's brought to you by ai leah hd if you have. wet amd, you never want to lose sight of the things you loved. >> we some things should stand the test of time long-lasting. i leah hd could significantly improve your vision. >> more people on islay hd had no fluid in the retina compared to those on alia at four months? >> i leah hd is the only wet amd therapy that helped eight out of ten people go up to four months between injections after three initial monthly treatments. if you have an eye

prostate, find it at walmart sunday on the whole story, donie o'sullivan dives back into the world of misinformation their computers that are using our election, how to software that was illegal will miss information cause chaos in november's election story with anderson cooper, sunday at 8:00 on cnn the russia are trying to spy on us. we were spying on them. >> this is a secret war secrets and spies now streaming on max this is cnn breaking news welcome to a special edition of outfront live from temple university in north philly. we're just moments ago, vice president kamala harris and her brand new running mate, minnesota governor tim walz made their first joint appearance as the presumptive
4:17 pm
democratic presidential and vice presidential ticket good evening. i am jake tapper in philadelphia, and i'm kaitlan collins in new york. harris may not have picked the most recognizable of candidates, but you saw him on stage with her harris and the vp that is but all know, midwestern governor, they collect during the vetting process, we are told because of walz is quote, happy go lucky and joyful presence. a connection that you could see on stage tonight thank you madam vice president for the trust you put in me, but maybe more so thank you for bringing back the joy i'm thrilled to be on this journey with you and doug minnesota strengths comes from our values our commitment to working together to seeing past our differences do always being willing to lend a helping hand. those are the same values
4:18 pm
i learned on the family farm and tried to instill in my students i took it to congress and to the state capitol. and now vice president harris and i are running to take those very values to the white house you see those people behind walls there. >> this rally tonight in philadelphia was before an estimated ten 10,000 people and marks the first of several upcoming battleground appearances that we're going to see from the two of them in wisconsin, michigan, arizona, and nevada and kaitlan, we're just learning that since vice president harris announced governor walz as her running mate, the harris was campaign has raised more than 20 million, calling today one of its quote, best fundraising days this cycle, certainly a measure of enthusiasm among previously glom and democrats. >> we a lot to cover over the next hour, but i want to start with mj lee, who is outfront live in philly, mj. what are you learning tonight about the new ticket? harrison waltz?
4:19 pm
>> yeah, this was certainly an incredibly rockets and energize political rally. the first formal introduction of the harris walls ticket. and what was really clear watching this event was how much this ticket and this campaign is going wait to lean into and really embrace the contrast between kamala harris and her new running mate. we saw how much they talked about his biography, his midwestern ruth, the fact that he was born in a small town in nebraska, that he wasn't teacher, that he served in the army national guard and was a football coach all of these things are factors that the campaign is hoping will make this ticket more appealing to voters in the critical blue wall states. we saw the vice president kamala harris introducing her new running mate first than when he took the stage notice that he delivered his remarks off a teleprompter. there is a reason that i am bringing this up. we have learned that is a part of the vetting process. this is something that he actually
4:20 pm
brought up himself to the vetting team. basically saying he doesn't use a teleprompters when he's giving speeches. in fact, he doesn't even own one and he told the team, look, if i were to be chosen as her running mate, this is something that i would need to learn. and in fact, i was told by a source tonight that he did take some time ahead of this rally this evening to practice using a teleprompter and i bring this up as one of the many details, clearly, many ways in which tim walz endeared himself to kamala harris and the entire vetting team through throughout the course of this process. >> and he was able to convince the team as well that he would be a pig that would be committed to the vice presidency rather than being more worried about his own political future. >> but jake and kaitlan, as you were talking about this as a moment, but democrats are hoping to really capitalize on and they want to ride on this momentum and money. of course is everything. and as you've mentioned, the campaign has announced that thinks the morning when kamala harris announced her running mate pick, the campaign has raised at least $20 they are holding
4:21 pm
being that this will be increased in the coming days as the two on the ticket. now hit the road together to a number of battleground states i'm jake, can i just ask you very quickly have you seen this kind of enthusiasm before at a rally four president biden i haven't jake and i have been to a number of biden events, including campaign events during the cycle. >> it wouldn't be that atypical for the president's campaign. the former biden campaign to maybe use up a high school gymnasium okay how the press riser be in the middle of the room because that was all of the crowd. the peak number of people that the campaign could typically at frack. there were obviously moments here and there where the crowd would be a little bit more enthusiastic. but this kind of broca's rally where everyone was on their
4:22 pm
feet, every seat seem to be filled in huge arena that we are in right now. no, this is not the kind of energy that we were used to seeing 16 days ago before the president dropped out of the 2024 race, jake all right. >> mj lee, thanks so much. kasie hunt, audie cornish, nia malika henderson, and david chalian are all with me and kasie. we just saw harris and waltz on stage together for the first time. a source told cnn that harris picked walter because quote the chemistry was really important to harris and it really clicked for both of them i'm unquote what did you see watching them tonight? >> actually thought for a brand new political relationship, it was pretty seamless mean walz was clearly thrilled to be on that stage with her she was very enthusiastic in her introduction of him. and what came across to me was different, but very complimentary country campaign styles. and i think there was a contrast between how josh shapiro handled this room
4:23 pm
tonight. he spoke ahead of the nominee and her running mate and clearly was adored by this crowd and it sort of that speech brought into focus for me some of the reporting around why he wasn't the choice that he and his team have kind of been putting out as well that he prefers to be number one at the top of the governor of the state of pennsylvania. he makes sense to me at the top of the ticket, i think walls at really make sense in this. it's very difficult role being vice president, right? and you saw that kind of folksy relate ability that so many people in the harris camp had been telling us about a supporting role, right? call him coach walls, which we're already seeing that on the internet. it kind of reflects that sense of how he approaches teamwork. >> and i also appreciated that he shared an anecdote about his family's journey with ivf. that is something we have started good to hear from female candidates, female people, women in office. and it's a very personal journey. and i think there are likely to be a lot of women who've had that experience who will
4:24 pm
appreciate that there are men out there that are willing to share that kind of thing. i just want to add one more thing which is that the only time i saw them sort of back down the crowd is when they started to change can't lock him up. >> and i think it sort of reflects their effort to try and make it a forward looking campaign and not to spend all their time re-litigating all the bad things that they think donald trump has done, which is really preoccupied the party for so many years yeah, definitely vice president harris, definitely wanted to change, get the crowd she didn't say stop, but she kind of held up her hands and said this is about more than just want to talk about the future. >> yeah, this is about more than donald trump. >> she said it's about more than donald trump. this is a campaign about the future. yeah. >> there's been a lot of talk about governor walz as a messenger you're with his admirers saying that he's able to be both folksy and an attack dog and he got his first opportunity as the presumptive running mate to do that. here's just a little bit of what he said about former president donald trump he
4:25 pm
doesn't know the first thing about service he doesn't have time for it because he too busy serving himself again and again and again trump weakens, our economy to strengthen his own hand the mocks our laws he saw chaos and division and that's to say nothing of his record as president he froze in the face of the covid crisis he drove our economy into the ground and make no mistake. >> violent crime was up under donald trump that's not even counting the crimes he
4:26 pm
committed and damma laika, the crowd here in philadelphia, partisan democratic crowd they loved it. what do you think? what do you think of the pick? >> listen, i think this is a brilliant pick by kamala harris. there was a sort of unbuilt way favorite and that was josh shapiro when she wanted to go really to an outsider in many ways, a guy who grew up in a small town in nebraska on farming country in is the leader of a midwestern state where you know, populism in progressive progressive policies have meant, right? so he can really, i think reframe what progressivism means, what liberalism means in a way that is palatable to a wide variety of folks. and you saw him there really leaning into the attack dog role, but he does it well, the kind of righteous indignation and very memorable terms, right? he talked about
4:27 pm
during the covid crisis that donald trump froze during the covid crisis, one of the challenges i think for this ticket is really going to be two really paint the years of the donald trump presidency, there are some people who have a sort of nostalgia for what donald trump was like as president for those four years. and so there he is really painting a picture in saying, listen, this is a guy who wants to go out there and act like crying is ramping and out of control. but it actually rose under under donald trump. and so listen, i think this is a pick that he's going to appeal to a wide swath of americans. he's a very rig cuellar guys sort of aggressively normal that is going to play with older white americans downscale sort of high school graduate folks of all races. and so i think this was a really a real stroke by, by kamala harris to go her own way. they have a similar personality, right? if you've ever been around kamala harris, sort of office the record. she's very funny and aggressively normal. and that's kind of how he is and
4:28 pm
very warm. and so i think that's why this pairing really makes sense for her david chalian. >> what did you think of their first outing? this presumptive ticket? >> yeah. i mean, definitely i think we're going to hear more about coach walls and teacher walls than governor walz and congressman waltz. i mean, i think they're going to lean into that biography and clearly kamala harris referred to him as coach walz. i counted at least five times in the. speech to get to that appeal point that nia was saying, i do think though what kasie and audie were mentioning about a future versus a past. and this is where donald trump and his campaign jake are in a bind right now and don't take it from me. i mean, vivek ramaswamy, a strong trump supporter who was on our air earlier today and said good point blank. these last couple of weeks have been really tough for republicans, bad for republicans and this is a moment where they're trying to reset what we're going to see, how that reset goes. but here's the bind that he is in. >> it's in that tagline that kamala harris uses that you heard that entire arena temple
4:29 pm
champ factor, which is we're not going back. >> and you have a ticket that looks like the future. i mean, she talks about it as only possible in america here, right? so you have a ticket that's focused on the future and donald trump is running on a campaign to actually restore something from the past and i just think that it presidential election this country are notoriously about the future and everything you saw in this outing was sort of pointing forward and i think that's what the trump campaign is going to have to respond to. obviously, rollout day is the best day for a ticket you've got 91 very hard campaign days ahead all right. >> thanks, everyone. kaitlan thank you, jake. >> and i want to bring in independent senator bernie sanders of vermont, senator sanders. it's great to have you here tonight because you actually wanted vice president harris to pick governor walz as her running mate what did you make of their debut tonight? philadelphia well, it sounded very good. >> and the reason that i wanted
4:30 pm
governor walz is, as you know, he comes from a rural state. he has been a champion of the working class. he's passed some very good legislation and at a time when we have massive levels of income and wealth inequality while it's wild, 60% of people living paycheck to paycheck and a very, very rich are getting much richer. i think the american people want somebody who's going to stand up for them and take on powerful special interests. and i think that governor walz is the person to do that while you were in his hometown of mankato? just a few days ago, have you talked to governor walz or vice president harris since she became the presumptive nominee about what their agenda is going to look like. >> i talked to the governor before. the other thing that i am impressed by the governor and others have said this. this is a guy who was a public school, high school teacher that's what he goes high school teacher he was a football coach he was the
4:31 pm
ranking member of the veterans committee in the u.s. house. and we certainly want somebody at the highest levels of government who's going to be fighting for the veterans of this country? and very significantly as the governor of the state of minnesota and the reason that he is popular is he has been pro labor. he has helped raise the minimum wage for gig workers. he has made sure that children in minnesota do not go hungry. now, some people may think that's a radical idea. i don't and i think one of the misunderstandings that exist in the corporate media and in the political establishment is that standing up for working people, expanding medicare to cover dental hearing and vision, expanding social security so that the wealthiest not paying their fair share of taxes into the system. so we could raise benefits that ain't radical. more than 70% of the american people want programs like that, including a majority of republicans. so i think to the degree that the bikes president and the governor can stay
4:32 pm
focused on economic issues that benefit working people demand that the billionaire class stop paying their fair share of taxes. you know what i think they've got to not only win, i think they have a chance to win pretty big. >> well, i'm glad you brought that up because i actually got to laugh out of you two weeks ago when i asked you about trump's claim that harris is more liberal than you are and now walz is being hit for his record that you just laid out there a progressive one as the governor of minnesota, senator lindsey graham tweeted earlier, harris is feeling the burn and picks walz. thank you. camila, governor tim walz is a dream for the radical left, and i wonder if his record as governor is going to be this attack line from trump and his allies. how you think he should respond to that well, i don't want to give trump's people any advice, but i would suggest that if they want to do that, they should read some of the polling if governor walz believes, for example that we should cut the price of
4:33 pm
prescription drugs in this country in half to what they all around the rest of the world over 70% of the american people believe that you want to attack them for being radical. >> i'll help pay for the ad wolves believes we should cut prescription drugs that have vote for trump. i don't think so. the american people overwhelmingly believe as the governor, does, that we should raise the minimum wage to a living wage if the republicans want to attack walls and kamala harris for wanting to raise the minimum wage. i'll help contribute to those advertisements. >> how can i think this whole narrative that if you stand up for working class families, it's somehow a negative is totally absurd to only believed by the corporate media and the political establishment working people know that the time is long overdue david government that represented them, rather than just wealthy campaign contributors i'll make sure at the trump campaign sees that message, senator sanders, thank you for joining us tonight thank you and outfront next we're going to speak to in
4:34 pm
minnesota senator amy klobuchar, who's worked very closely with her home state's governor. how does she think he can help the attacks that he is too extreme? prosperity hear from a former linebacker linebacker and walls cut when he was in high-school of why he credits the governor for saving his life this is carbonic and this is how you can sell us your car visit karwan, answer a few questions, will give you a real offer, then set a time for us to pick it up. >> and hey, you on this side, sell your car the easy way with carbon one to trade bitcoin plus oil plus gold plus so much more. let me introduce you to plus 500, lead and easy to use 3d app dreamy futures and options involves the risk of loss and he's not suitable for every investor plus 500 it's trading with a plus. can to reverse support your brain health very janet, hey eddy, know fraser, frank, frank bred. how are you?

donate your small talk more liebermann at the pentagon this cnn breaking news just moments ago that democratic presumptive nominees for president and vice president, namely vice president kamala harris and minnesota governor tim walz, officially launched the 2024 democratic ticket. here right here in philadelphia. it did it in front of a packed arena ten 10,000 people packed in to meet the new vp candidate and see the presumptive new democratic candidate for president. pardon me out front right now minnesota senator amy klobuchar. senator, thanks for joining us. do you know
4:37 pm
governor walz pretty well, not just as the governor from your home state, but you've been friends for, for quite some time how do you think he did tonight introducing himself to the country and how do you think he helps vice president harris? >> i think you saw tonight, first of all, you had a big vikings fan walking into a entire crowded arena of philadelphia eagles fans, okay. that alone is something to deal with. then he just i think he was incredible one, he established that he wasn't just a cookie cutter candidate. he wasn't one bit nervous let's just fluid. he went in there, showed his genuine respect and friendship with josh shapiro who had done the same to him, putting at rest those disunity noises that we're hearing from the republicans. and then he went on to do what he does. he was able to show how you govern. he was able to show that chemistry with the vice premier president and he was able to take down donald trump. and j.d. vance all in one fell
4:38 pm
swoop. so i think you're going to see yes. someone who is courageous and brave, but someone who also has a heart from the heartland. and so i think it couldn't have gone better well, he said that shapiro was the kind of guy you wouldn't mind got a guy that to go see springsteen with in jersey, which prompted some boos. >> so i would say as a philadelphia so it's not good well, wait a minute, he also commended, if you remember, i'm just commended yeah he commended shapiro in a big, big way for what he had done on the bridge, which was phenomenal. >> and i think what was most important was what josh shapiro said. tim walz, and what he said about tim walz is respected and liked him okay. >> but that's i'm just so you know, it so well, i'm just saying don't praise jersey and philly, that's that's it's just, it's just common sense. >> but other than that sure. let me ask you because republicans are saying the
4:39 pm
governor walz is to progressive. he is an extremist. this is kamala harris doubling down on far her left radicalism. here's a little bit of what your senate colleague, the vice presidential nominee from the republican ticket, senator j.d. vance of ohio said, just two minutes ago on fox business this is clearly a ticket that is designed to increase inflation, to reduce law and order, and to make it harder to build a business or just a life in the united states of america. and i think they've set up the contrast very nicely for us and president trump, but i just have to make our argument to the american people. what do you think about that? >> well, first i have to say that the minnesota unemployment is one of the best in the country, the lowest in the country, cnbc just voted minnesota number six, are doing business because of our great workers, because of our businesses and because of some good government. and the final thing i'd say about this is that tim walz is going to be able to make this case like you saw him do today about we need
4:40 pm
to move forward instead of moving backwards and they can say whatever they want about him. but what you saw today and what kamala harris said today, he has always done things for the right reason, and he's don emission has a northstar, whether it was his troops and what he did as the highest enlisted officer in the congress, signing up at 19 or 17, like so many world kids do across our country. what he did with his students and with his football team, taking it from a winless team to state champions of what he did for our state. so this is going to be quite a case that tim walz is going to be able to make. and when you've got that mission and that focus, you can throw all the names atom that he's too conservative to liberal. he did this, did that. it's not going to matter because people are going to see the true person a proud. minnesota in this evening, senator amy klobuchar, thank you so much. good to see you. kaitlan. >> okay. to be. >> thank you. thanks, jake. good to hear from the senator
4:41 pm
there we've got the entire panel here who was watching that event in philadelphia and van jones, i just want to start with you because we were watching this come out. harris introduced walls actually after shapiro, who is also the running for this introduce walls, what did you make of what you saw there the sun came out, the sun came out facing the rising sun, as we say, in the national anthem, it was beautiful it was beautiful the language is so fresh now, we're going to defend everyone's freedoms don't be weird. >> mine drone business. we won't go back. this is a new language for a politics of possibility. and hopefully again they had hope and change. you guys had hope and change the 2008. now we've got hoping gus hoping it kid's name, hoping gous, you know, he brings his family into it he talks about ivf and these personal personal terms it's just beautiful. and i listened
4:42 pm
kamala harris is proving to be a pulse political phenomenon. two weeks ago, she was just hoping that the president can hang on. she caught a loose football and she is running for a touchdown after touchdown. touchdown. it's just been beautiful. >> a lot of energy and humor man on that stage tonight as well absolutely i. mean, one of the things that every everybody showed it, but tim walz, i mean, you can kind of see him as the most popular teacher, you know, the way he sort of commanded the room there was sort of quietly but with this sort of laconic humor and how he says he is. i said earlier today he is a norman rockwell painting sprung to life. and that is you know, a lot of, a lot of folks thought shapiro can help you win pennsylvania. i think she traded i said this
4:43 pm
as well. she traded us date for his state of mind. he is a guy who people can relate to and it's very hard j.d. vance can say what he will walter is actually who j.d vance pretends to be and it's very hard to make the case that that guy is a extremist. and i think if this race is actually we fight out on who is the most extreme party that's not a good place for the republicans because i don't think they're going to win in a fight against that taken out against that war. >> and he also doesn't shy away from the fight. i mean, that is part of his appeal on the ticket. he leapt over a better known candidates to become the pick because of part of this trial over the last two weeks and what he was saying just just to let everyone listen who didn't see what governor walz was saying earlier, he went after j.d. vance. this is what he had to say like all regular people i grew up with in the heartland jd studied at yale had his career funded by
4:44 pm
silicon valley billionaires and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community. come on that's not what middle america is. >> and i got to tell you, i can't wait to debate the guy i mean, like he can throw some shade, right? >> that's all the fund that is so exciting about all this. i have been completely depressed. i think that most of america has been living with ptsd still coming out of covid, which which was four years ago, but it's still kind of hangs on us and everything else that has transpired in addition to trump in the backdrop, running his mouth. and so it's been very exciting to just have something joyful to smile about, laugh about the memes, the thing that we need to talk about more is the fact that these two aren't just history makers that's her story right now. but it's a cultural phenom that is happening that a lot of folks aren't quite paying attention
4:45 pm
to, but the people that the democrats need to come out and vote, young people, people of color, they're all on tiktok. they were on instagram, the memes aren't killing it right now. and you can't overestimate the power of making people fulfill proud, excited, animated joyful, and having the cultural zeitgeist that is kamala harris right now, is really, really moving people. and i think it's going to move people to the polls. >> and what we had heard from the trump campaign was that they were happy it was walls that they were worried it was going to be shapiro of pennsylvania, deeply popular. there after seeing that tonight, do think there are still feeling that way. >> shermichael, i mean, look, it's very obvious that momentum is behind vice president harris and now her select d to be a running mate. i get that. it's obvious you're seeing this emergence of culture and politics and that sort of hard to defeat, right? i mean, it's hard to take the comp complexities of politics, whether it's talking about the economy regression of foreign policy, and turn those things. and to a reduction as message that mobilizes people around something else that everybody
4:46 pm
understands. and i think in a very interested in compelling way, or they have accomplished that that's not necessarily an easy thing to beat. i think republicans are going to have to figure out some kind of way to message around so this, this, this, this movement, if you will that i think many of us are witnessing it is very eerily similar to hope and change it. we're former president barak obama. you saw the folks in the crowd. a lot of diversity i think a lot of people who were perhaps worried about younger voters, maybe worried about young progressives to see someone like walls and says maybe this is someone that can sort of help turn out some of those voters now, i will say republicans will look at him and say maybe once upon a time and in great health, sian period, he was more of a moderate, but today he's adopted positions that are somewhat more progressive. they will point to people like johan omar, bernie sanders and say, well, if they're endorsing him, obviously some of his position tens on social issues economic issues are far too much to the left for the average swing voter. will that be effective? i'm not sure.
4:47 pm
yeah. >> you just heard senator sanders is view of that tanking to help pay for the ads and the trump campaign will lot to talk about from that moment there with vice president harris and now her running mate on stage for the first time up. next, we have exclusive photos of tim walz when he was a teacher. we're going to speak to a former linebacker who is coached by him and why he says governor walz saved his life when the saw dust settles, and the engine finally roars the thing you care about most the job well done but when you get your tools from harbor freight something about the job feels a little different. your wallet, because we believe you've no matter what you're working on you need high-quality tools at a great price. >> and that's what we're all about whatever you do, do it for less at heart harbor freight from need the dot

4:52 pm
took the care and he really pulled me aside often in really said hey, dan, let's let's give this a shot, right? let's let's keep coming. we need you here on the football team and i really hit had never really had a attention or care from an adult teacher, male teacher, or a male role model at that time. so for him to take the time, a lot of time out of his day to really show me the care that a young 16, 17-year-old boy raised by single mother really needed so you credit him with your staying in school and you credit him with a presumably having a better life is that what i'm taking from your comments? yeah. no doubt. like i said, there's no question. i probably wouldn't have finished high school. i wouldn't finish high school. and without that, you know, who knows where my trajectory would have gone in authorized glide struggles with substances. he was able to really pull me through that in a sure. that i finished school

he usually did for me anderson cooper, 360 next on cnn vice president kamala harris just wrapped her first joint event with her new running mate, governor tim walz, telling voters in pennsylvania that they are quote, the underdogs in this 2024 race wall vowed to do everything he can to help harris win and said, quote, will sleep when we're dead. john king joins us now, live from bowyer town, pennsylvania.
4:58 pm
john, how are voters out there in pennsylvania? what are they saying about this selection tonight? >> well, kaitlan, those we've talked to already say that they find governor walz to be funny they find him to be interesting. they find it to be different. i want to focus on the word different. i'm in berks county, of pennsylvania. there's a gun club right up the street where surrounded by farms. this is a rural area used to be solid, solid republican. donald trump won here with about 54% of the vote. so left let's republican than it used to be can tim walz come here? pennsylvania is all about the margins, right? can he come here and pick up a few votes? because he talks like these people, he knows what it's like to be on a form. he knows what it's like to be at the gun club. right. so that's one thing to watch for and i can tell you, not just here in my travels all year, you find a lot of voters, the people who didn't like biden and didn't like trump the double-haters collin independence disaffected young people. they don't trust politicians. he talks differently. he's funny. now, kamala harris is the candidate, not tim walz, but does it help in this moment where she has a trajectory of momentum going this way. can she sustain it one way to do that is to get a
4:59 pm
new look if you will. so she has a big day today. do people view them as differently? the environment and this selection kaitlan is a change election with president biden the top of the ticket. that change was going to be him losing. that's what most democrats can she shift that mood now and say they're the change, their new, and they are different. and i think the way he talks, coach walz will play in communities like this. again, she's the candidate, so i don't want to overstate the power of the vice presidential candidate, but i think at a moment when they're getting a second look, there's something to this and trying to appeal in rural small communities like this. yeah. >> and you heard him talking about in the second amendment on stage was saying he doesn't think assault weapons should just be available to anyone. i mean, you're obviously standing there in governor josh shapiro's home state. we saw josh shapiro coming out introducing the vice president tonight at nine not in the way that some had thought maybe he would when he was one of the final contenders what's the sense from voters there about how he was not selected we've talked to a lot of democrats here on this trip and a trip we were here in north hampton county north eastern here a
5:00 pm
couple of weeks ago, most democrats here love their governor and many of them said they wanted kamala harris to pick him. >> however, the democrats, we've talked to today, they're not going to not vote for kamala harris because josh shapiro wasn't picked in a good number of pennsylvania democrats. we talked to said we just got chuck josh shapiro, he's a first-term governor we like. and can we keep them can she pick somebody else now overwhelmingly, there's no question. josh shapiro would have helped here. does that mean governor walz hurts here? i think it's too early to say that as we go forward, but clearly really what the vice president decided on. listen to how they talk about his governing experience. he has deeper governing experience and deeper campaign experience that governor shapiro does not to take any of the way for shapiro, a rising star, but the harris team and the vice president made the calculation. this guy has deeper experience. they believe deeper strengths we got 90 days to find out yeah. >> and as governor walz said, they will not be sleeping during those 90 days. john king, i don't think you will be either at thank you so much for joining us live from pennsylvania. thank you. >> write about that. you sleep when your dad none of us are sleeping, it's good to know. >> thank you so much for joining us. i'll be back here at 9:00 p.m. easte
