rally in philadelphia, where vice president kamala harris is appearing for the first time

with her just announced running mate, minnesota governor tim walz. this marks the end of the high stakes, high speed process to choose the number two spot on the democratic presidential ticket and marks the beginning of their campaign to win the white house. husband, doug emhoff. thank you for the warm welcome >> and let me just say, it's good to be here with all of the friends, all of the leaders who are here. >> i want to thank former governor ed rendell. senator bob casey, who we will reelect this november. >> senator john fetterman. >> all right. live first appearance harrison walz, first

rally in philadelphia. and with that, we say good afternoon. i'm kristen sze. we are going to keep going back to that live rally, especially when walz begins to speak. but look, after all the vetting, the lobbying and the speed dating style meetings this past week, the democratic presidential nominee has made her choice. the 60 year old folksy, popular governor of minnesota, tim walz. so just a few hours before this, that's happening now, she called him to offer him the job. >> let's let's do this together. would you be my running mate and let's get this thing on the roa? >> i would be honored, madam vice president, the joy that you're bringing back to the country, the enthusiasm that's out there, it'll be a privilege to take this with you across the country. >> so walz emerged out of a strong field of better known contenders, including pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, arizona senator mark kelly, and transportation secretary pete buttigieg. joining us live now to talk about this pick and to watch some of this rally with us, is a

democrat who knows walz from his 12 years as a congressman before he became governor, former bay area congresswoman jackie speier. jackie, great to have you on today. >> thank you, kristen, it's a very exciting day for democrats. no doubt, no doubt about it. >> i mean, you can see that excitement and that energy at the rally. it is thousands and thousands of people. what do you think about this pick? did it surprise you? >> well, actually it did. i thought that josh shapiro was going to be the appointed vp candidate. i think, you know, if, if we don't win pennsylvania, we don't win. so having pennsylvania in the pocket of the vice president is really important, as she makes her run. having said that, having just listened to josh shapiro, i've got to say, i think she got a twofer, she got josh shapiro, who obviously has incredible support in pennsylvania. he's going to be there fighting for her. and we have tim walz, who i served with

for, oh, at least, i don't know, 8 or 10 years. and he brings some midwestern charm. and i know midwestern charm because i'm married to one and they are plain speaking, modest, and he has, a record that although they've tried to paint him as a progressive, he, he was a moderate in congress. in fact, he had an a minus rating with the nra, and i had an f rating with the nra. so you can tell that he has over the decades, been a moderate in many of his positions. so i mean, just that little snippet that you showed of him in his, hunting cap sitting on, a chair or couch, whatever it was, it was it was as much as you can imagine. would be, charismatic about a

hunter. rural agricultural worker who who's had his hands get dirty in the soil over the decades. so putting him up against the phony hillbilly elegy in, in mr. vance is going to be fascinating to watch, because clearly, tim has the experience and the willingness to be, the, the rural leader and advocate for kamala harris. >> let's listen a little bit right now to what, harris is saying about him. so, but but but let me let me just say let me say hold on, hold on, hold on. >> this campaign, campaign

is not just a fight against donald trump. our campaign this campaign is a fight for the future. future. and pennsylvania. we fight for a future with affordable housing, affordable health care, affordable child care, paid leave. >> we fight for a future where we build a broad based economy, where every american has the opportunity to own a home, to start a business, and to build wealth. >> we fight for a future where we bring down prices that are still too high and lower. the cost of living for america's

families. chance, not just to get by, but to get ahead. >> all right, so vice president kamala harris speaking right now, we definitely want to dip in if we can later when uh- tim walz is talking. but i want to bring in, former congresswoman jackie speier again, as you listen to this and you look at the energy, can i just ask you, there is something definitively different in the air just watching this rally, does it feel significantly different to you as a democrat from the feeling and the mood a month ago? >> oh, without a doubt. and it's palpable everywhere. the enthusiasm from young and old is really quite remarkable. and kamala mania is real. and it's exciting to see. i must say, you know, she has done everything, perfectly. the rollout, solidifying the delegates and

now this particular selection, her first really significant, decision turns out to be really quite unusual. and unorthodox, but it really is going to work, i believe. >> okay, talk a little bit about what you think he brings to the table. how does he complement her? you talked about the importance of pennsylvania. we saw how gifted josh shapiro is in terms of his oratory abilities. she passed that up. there's got to be something that really clicks for her about walls, about whether it's his background, his life story or his personality or just his record, which, as you said, was quite moderate in congress but became, i guess, more progressive in the last couple of years as, as governor. but what do you think it is that he brings to the ticket and gives it a boost? >> i think what he brings to the ticket is the ability to speak

to americans who do not have a college education, but know what it's like to toil in the fields, know what it's like to work in the labor halls. and he has an authenticity to him that is quite appealing. and i think the result is that you have someone who can really talk to that blue wall that we're so concerned about, to that rust belt area or opportunity area, as we like to call it now, and has the credentials to do so. so he balances out kamala harris in a way that i don't think josh shapiro would. did josh is gifted, no question about it, but i think he's still going to be there. he may be the next attorney general who knows. but i think having heard him speak, he's going to deliver pennsylvania, to the kamala harris uh- tim walz campaign from pennsylvania. >> you think he just has that touch, right? i mean, just

watching his body gesture, his facial gestures, all of it says relatability. and, of course, the trump campaign is already starting to say he is extreme, that he isn't. what he seems. but do you think the line of attacks that they've got, you know, on him, would work? >> i don't think it's going to work, because, you know, unlike, jd vance, who tries to talk like he's from, the midwest, he was a tech bro. he is a tech bro. he doesn't relate to people, when you hear jim walsh, tim walsh speak in a in a few moments, you're going to get the that midwestern nice, that charm that is quite appealing to many in america. and he he has a life experience that will touch i think everybody, having lost family members early in his life, being raised on a farm, being a school teacher and a high school coach, enlisting in

the military in the national guard was the highest ranking noncommissioned officer that you could become. i mean, he's the only person on either ticket now that is a veteran. so that's going to be something that we should really emphasize. >> yeah. and he won right in a red leaning district to take that congressional seat, which i'm sure that's something she looked at as well, i think well, no, not yet. i'm waiting for him to step up to the podium. but this moment for her is obviously still going so, so big right now in terms of the enthusiasm. but i want to ask you, in terms of his record, right, that they've got to run on, are there things in there that she would like to make a piece of her administration who served our nation in uniform? >> well, i think without a doubt he did extraordinary work on the veterans committee. he chaired the veterans committee when we were in, in the majority in the house and did some really fine

work there. so i think that's going to be important. they have a free school lunch program now in minnesota. now we have that in california, but most states don't. and there's no child in this country that should go to school hungry. you can't learn if you're hungry. and i think she's going to want to make that a national, project as well. so, you know, if you look right now at them, you see this chemistry? that is a that's something you can't manufacture, she has that chemistry with president biden. i think that chemistry here is quite obvious as well. >> you got a vibe with the person that you're running with, right? there's going to be a lot of campaigning together. and if you're successful governing together, jackie, spirit, thank you so very much. your insight is valuable. before we let you go real quick, just do you have a favorite tim walz story where i've heard an anecdote interaction, >> well, i can tell you at one point there was a battle in the house as to who was going to

become the next chair of the veterans affairs committee. and he and i were sitting in one of the, you know, pew areas on the house floor, and he was making his case to me. and he said, you know, i'm only going to be here for one term as as chair. so, you know, the our colleague can then become chair after me. i'm going to be running for governor. and i thought he's going to run for governor. and i've got to look at him now and think, my god, he's now the vice presidential nominee for the democrats. so, he's he's just a really genuine person. and you're going to see that very shortly, and he will bring a lot of charm, to the ticket as well. all right. >> jackie speier, thank you so much. really appreciate your insight. we'll take a short break and be right back fargo makes banking faster, and easier.

the presumed democratic presidential nominee. well, she is now, in fact, and her running mate, whom she just elected and finalized that decision. and announced this morning it is minnesota's governor, tim walz. we are keeping our eye on this rally. we expect walz to speak shortly. and when he does, we will go back to it. in the meantime, we'll bring you some news here. california's summer covid surge is not letting up. wastewater levels are topping previous summer peaks and still rising. cdc data shows covid levels in sewage have been high or very high for eight weeks in a row. the same length as last summer's surge. one particular subvariant is quickly becoming dominant. health experts say the

kp 3-1-1 strain is more contagious and infecting more people who haven't had covid before. hospitalizations are still just a fraction of what we've seen in previous summer surges, but they are ticking up. california is one of 43 states with high or very high covid levels. all right. real quickly, we want to bring you the weather forecast. things are heating up, just like the rally in philadelphia is. but spencer, we'll do this quickly because we do want to bring folks up. really was his first introduction to america in just a moment. >> yeah. it was very interesting to watch that. but right now i'm watching the heat. kristen, we've got some really soaring temperatures around the bay area right now. looking at the satellite radar composite image, you can see that we started the day with a little bit of a marine layer, but it sort of burned away quickly. and now skies are sunny, just about everywhere. even along some coastal areas it is 100 degrees right now in fairfield, 101. in livermore we have 100in saint helena, 102 at ukiah. triple digits. as we forecast yesterday, and many other inland inland locations have temperatures right now in the

mid to upper 90s and around the bay shoreline. you can see we have some low to mid 80s, which is pretty warm for bay shore locations. now we have a heat advisory still in effect for the santa clara valley until 10:00 tonight. and of course, under these conditions, there is an increased risk of heat related illness. i want to show you, though, how hot it is in other parts of the state, especially southern california, where we have numerous coastal areas under this heat advisory and many interior sections of the state in the southern half of the state, under an excessive heat warning, which extends all the way over into nevada. so there's a lot of hot weather around the state, especially in the southern half of california. so going into tomorrow, we expect temperatures to be, well, still pretty hot inland. maybe not so many triple digit readings, but 1 or 2 locations may hit 100. we certainly expect upper seconds in many locations tomorrow. now the temperatures will start to moderate a little bit on thursday. still low to mid 90s in the warmest inland locations. and that pattern continues into friday. so don't expect a sharp drop off in

temperatures anytime soon. but there will be gradual cooling as the weekend approaches. so here's the accuweather seven day forecast back up to perhaps triple digits in several of the warmest inland spots tomorrow, up to about 80 or 82 around the bay shoreline. then on thursday and friday we'll see mid 90s inland, mid 70s around the bay, low 60s on the coast that continues into saturday. sunday is the day that it will feel noticeably cooler, with high temperatures barely reaching up to about 90 degrees in the inland areas and mid 70s around the bay. only about 60 on the coast. and then we get further cooling on monday or tuesday under breezy and cooler conditions. high temperatures inland reaching only to the mid 80s. low 70s around the bay. can't wait for that kristen. >> cannot wait. all

the first time, vice president kamala harris, the democratic presidential nominee with her running mate that she selected minnesota governor tim walz. you see him right there behind her. and right now, let's listen to her for just a little bit. say about tim walz. >> he has shown up to stand against these attacks long before he stood on the stage with me. after roe was overturned. he was the first governor in the country to sign a new law that enshrined reproductive freedom as a fundamental right. and with tim walz by my side, when i am president of the united states and we win majorities in the united states congress, we will pass a bill to restore reproductive freedom. and i will proudly sign it into

law tim walz has also defended the sacred freedom to vote as governor. as governor, he signed the most significant expansion of voting rights in minnesota in over 50 years. walz help, when i am president, we are going to finally pass the john lewis voting rights act. >> all right. that's vice president kamala harris talking about some of the things she would want to accomplish with her running mate. if they do win. all right. we'll keep watching this. but in the meantime, more local news for you. a critical vote today could change how drivers navigate san francisco's roads in an effort to keep pedestrians safe. the sfmta is meeting now and is scheduled to consider a citywide

ban of all turns on red. a ban is already in effect in most of the tenderloin in downtown area, but today's vote could expand the restrictions to other parts of san francisco, with a focus on high foot traffic, areas with a history of crashes. people we spoke with had mixed opinions. >> it helps keep things a little more distinct as to who gets to move when it's the worst thing, it will impede the flow of traffic. >> the sfmta says priority areas for the expansion could be parts of the mission in nob hill. they are currently installing no right on red signs in downtown areas. first, both north and south of market street. a new art exhibit in the bay area gives people a look back in time at the exact location where they were standing. our media partner, the san francisco standard, gives us a close

francisco standard has a feature article about this newest draw, a photo exhibit of people passing by that very spot. people from a long time ago. joining us live now to talk about their story, the standard senior editor, astrid kane. hey astrid. >> hey. how are you? >> good. i like your sweater. hey, look, we all know that market street area has been challenged, right? lack of workers, lack of shoppers in the city is desperately trying to bring them back. so what is this destination? downtown exhibit? >> yeah, it's really cool. so at the foot of powell street, right across from the cable car turnaround on the flood building, if people know that there is a new there's three screens embedded in a window that are playing historic photos that were shot in and around

that area between like 30 or 40 and maybe 70 years ago, from the 50s through the 1980s. so you can stand there right in the spot and kind of see the same architecture that's right behind you, except in these well composed, beautifully shot tourist photos from decades ago. >> wait, okay, so i have so many questions like how is that there just happens to be all these pictures of people in that spot? and where have these photos been all this time? what, 8000 of them? and how do we get them? >> yeah. so yes, there were 8000 of them. and for decades they languished in some obscure archive in upstate new york until some of them made their way to a small photo gallery down in southern california. and then a san francisco nonprofit called community arts international. kind of found them and started going through them and realized the treasure trove that they had on their hands. so the reason why these photos exist at all is because there used to be a company called fox movie flash that would deploy all these street photographers around town asking people, hey, do you want your

photo taken? and the ones that never picked them up are now in this archive. >> what i never knew about that, that is so neat, okay, so tell tell me about the display. it looks like whether three monitors to the photos just kind of cycle through. >> yeah, exactly. so there's a central monitor and then one on each side and the one in the middle. i think if memory serves is like things that kind of linger, you can really get a good look. but the ones on either end, kind of cycle through much more quickly. and some of them are dated, but most of them aren't. you can only really tell you know what decade they were shot by the hair and the fashion and once in a while you can see like a movie marquee in the background that has like a movie playing. so you can identify the year that way. but they're pretty anonymous and they're really cool to see, really cool. >> i mean, you can see the tourists enjoying, you know, the exhibit in that photo. okay. real quickly got to go. but how long will the destination downtown exhibit be up and does it go 24 seven? >> it's up through october 9 to 9 daily. >> all right astrakhan, thank you for always sharing your interesting articles with us. you can check it out on sf

standard dot com. all right. before we go we want to take you back live to philadelphia where the democratic presidential nominee has introduced her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, standing right there behind her. and when elected, will govern on behalf of all americans. by my side and with all of you at our side, let us fight for the promise of our future. >> and that's it. >> and with that news at three more on world news tonight with da tonight, the deliberation is over. the democratic ticket is set. vice president kamala harris names her running mate, minnesota governor tim walz, as the two kick off a
