and i said, mankato oh, i'm sorry. i got none. none. i'll call mankato. get $50,000 and so they did and then he he ended up winning and how was he able to do that in a red district? he's a great campaigner and it was also that was 06 and 06 was the year that democrats took over the congress. >> so even though war, the war in iraq, even though this was his first campaign, i mean, you were out on the trail with him he was he was connecting with people. >> that's what that was. the bottom line here we go to college campuses and connect with the college kids and they volunteer me. >> he did it all the right way, but it took it just took a while to bill. >> what did you make of his of his speech at seeing his side convention was done there oh, yeah. in it saying that's my dad. i mean, as somebody who has to dads, like i dream that my kids will one day say that about me very well i doubt but he i know no, i was very moved by it. and of course, there are some people criticize, it, which is crazy and but no, what a beautiful moment. yeah, that's dad. yeah, it's t

running for office, waltz was a geography teacher in public schools and to football coach from rural mankato high school geography teachers don't usually think think that look, it is, it is humbling, it's a privilege. >> it's surreal. >> his resume also includes more than two decades in the army national guard, including a deployment overseas after the 9-11 attacks. >> want to thank the gentleman, his two term governor previously served in congress for 12 years, representing a rural district that voted for trump twice and 2006, he won his first congressional race, ousting a six-term republican incumbent. they liked me, they trusted me. they said tim, i think you're trying to do it right. >> his first term as governor, i saw some of the state's most turbulent times when riots broke out after the murder of george floyd as parts of the city burned, republicans blasted democratic leaders response in recent days, our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs are soon as looters criminals, riders, antifa, and others. a number of state and local governments have failed to take

governor's mansion, after winning the elections 6 years ago, he sold his only house in the city of mankatod sold it as a manho. below market value, is the information true, what walts' relatives own axe does not specify and does not give a single link to the official financial statements for his years in congress as governor. for many years , walz also claimed that he fought in iraq, but today it became known that he had been lying all these years. walds left the army just when he learned that his units were being sent to a combat zone . republicans have already called this a slap in the face of all american veterans, and j.d. vance, who, by the way, served in the military, as a correspondent in iraq, accused his rival of stealing valor. look. only the second day of tim's election campaign wahls as the vice presidential candidate, and this guy has already become a laughing stock, but he's especially angered veterans like me by claiming he was in the war. i voted for a common-sense bill that protects the second amendment. we can see that... that he's getting rich off of people who are actua

. >>> back in 2004, tim walz was a social studies teacher in mankato, minnesota, who had just got backh the national guard. he found out then president george w. bush was coming to town and thought it was a teachable moment, so according to josh green writing for the atlanta, back in 2006 walz and two students boarded a bush campaign bus that took them to a quarry where the president was to speak but after they had passed through a metal detector and their tickets and ids were checked, they were denied admittance and ordered back onto the bus. the reason -- one of the boys had a john kerry sticker on his wallet. indignant, walz refused to leave. as a soldier i told him i had a right to see my commander in chief, he explained. bush campaign staffers proceeded to give walz the third degree, did he oppose the president and walz asked if they really wanted to arrest a command sergeant major who had just returned from fighting the war on terrorism. eventually left, but not his students and not long after that he retired from the army and ran for congress as a democrat. since then walz has b

the walls sold their home in mankato, minnesota, when he became governor. they're living in a rental while the governor's mansion is being renovated. and they report the family has between 1000 and $15,000 savings for their children's college education. now, walz makes $127,000 a year as minnesota governor. the minnesota legislature tried to give him a raise. and i think you can probably guess what he did. he turned it down like our governor did right now, to exactly, exactly. right now, he and his wife, gwen, met as teachers, so probably neither one was expected. my parents met as teachers. probably never expected the other person to be making a ton of money. yeah, yeah. we'll know more about his finances as he fills out the vice presidential, you know, candidate, etc. okay, well, the book is coming to. i'm sure there is. it's always a book. all right. thanks, scott. you may need to stock up because the days of using someone else's costco card. not that you do that right. no well, they appear to be numbered. you don't really look like me, marcus. not in th

look at the two guys and how midwest they are tim grew up in nebraska then as an adult, moved to mankato, minnesota and became a high school teacher. you also had joined the national guard first and was in the national guard for 24 years or something was highest ranking non enlisted officer in the history of this the congress was a football coach then ran for the house and then ran for governor let's say the other guy vance he join i think he was in the military. he was good for him. >> yeah. and then he went to i think not sure which order he went to the military winning went to college with any went to yale law school and then at a yale law school, peter teal found him and started him as kind of a venture capitalist in san francisco and he wrote a book, very good book about hillbilly, elegy which ultimately i think sold out is his culture that he grew up in and that, but basically moved to san francisco and calls walls of san francisco liberal, where walz's never been i'm sure he's been the san francisco, but he's never lived there so i liked i liked the matchup in terms of who seems g

for office, waltz was a geography teacher and public schools and to food football coach from rural mankato high school, geography teachers don't usually think that look, it is it is humbling, it's a privilege. it's surreal. >> his resume also includes more than two decades in the army national guard including a deployment overseas after the 9-11 attacks want to thank the gentleman his two term governor previously served in congress for 12 years representing a rural district that voted for trump twice and 2006, he won his first congressional race, ousting a six-term republican incumbent. >> they liked me, they trusted me. they said tim, i think you're trying to do it right his first term as governor, i saw some of the state's most turbulent times when riots broke out after the murder of george floyd, it prompted waltz to call in the national guard. let's be very clear the situation in minneapolis is no longer in any way about the murder of george floyd it is about attacking civil society in instilling fear and disrupting our great cities he's record of progressive policies such as codifying

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 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

paul and the mankato area district said the same thing. he said that basically the trump claim is not true through a spokesperson, kevin burns told me the law signed by governor was last year is quote, very clear, and that they are satisfying it by providing menstrual products in traditional female and gender neutral restrooms and quote, as well as school nurses, office. he said, not boys bathrooms daniel dale, as always. thank you very much and it's a cliche for a reason, if you're explaining, you're losing well, j.d. vance is now finding himself once again explaining here is a resurface 2021 interview that captured him saying that ethnic enclaves sparring violence, and making a gangs of new york comparison to do it but here's the thing today. he is doing exactly the same thing. take a listen but does anybody ever seen the movie gangs of new york? that's what i'm talking about. we know that when you have these massive ethnic enclaves forming in our country, it can sometimes lead to higher crime rates. what we want is an american immigrati
