tonight, i spoke with an associate professor at the university of minnesota, and she says in some ways, voters in that state are also getting a first introduction to the walz children. >> that was amazing. i mean, i think minnesotans in general, you know, have a much better sense of gwen walz, than they do his children, because, of course, you know, they're not that old. and so they've largely been out of the limelight, especially gus the younger, his younger son. so we, you know, we don't know that much about his kids other than what he posts on social media and sort of what, you know, they might post. but it's clear from the way he talks about his family that his family and children are extraordinarily important to him. job. >> pierson went on to say that the waltz the nation watched tonight is consistent with the candidate they've gotten to know through the years. a candidate that she says is known for his authenticity. >> former president donald trump held a rally outside for the first time since the assassination attempt on his life in pennsylvania. trump was joined by his running

speech, i spoke with kathryn pearson, an associate professor of political science at the university of minnesota. she said walz's rise through the political ranks has resonated with voters since he first won a district that was held by republicans for most of its history. >> that that said, as he moved from, you know, one of eight districts in minnesota to becoming governor and representing this, you know, all of the state serving as governor, he did become more partizan, more partizan, and more liberal and really championing those democratic party priorities. but but minnesota, we never really lost his sense of where he came from. his roots, his authenticity, sort of everything that we saw on the stage tonight, that is the governor walz that minnesotans know. this is not some new persona that we've never seen before. this all was very consistent with what we've seen of him really since 2006, even as his policy positions have evolved, ktvu political analyst brian silber with us tonight, brian, tim walz had to prove himself tonight. >> did he connect? did he deliver? >> mike he was the country's

i was looking at a study from the university of minnesota that talked about how i his taxes at the local level and state level disproportionat ely impacts poor people specifically people of color. i looked at migration patterns of people out of state. you can see if people who've come in are going, there are more people leaving his state then coming to his state as a result of how expensive it is to lift. so yes, his policies would not work for the average american can person. >> so let me ask you a question because there's this i'm hesitant to even bring it up, but this is gross online smear about j.d. vance involving couches and the only reason i cite it is because governor walz made a reference to it during his introduction speech yesterday and i got to tell you, i can't wait to debate the guy that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up a. >> clear reference to this gross smear. so i mean, whatever happened to michelle obama's when they go low, we go high i think democrats have abandoned that a long time ago. >> look, i get it. a politics as a brutal sport. this is like

that would be good if the university of minnesota was looking for a linebacker's coach. something to bring up. why are you running from your record? >> ainsley: why didn't you will bring up your record? >> brian: homicides up 132% between 2018 and 2023. how about when it comes to assaults up 8% between 2019 and 2023. burglaries are down but motor vehicle theft are up 163%. robberies are up. so, in terms of crime, in terms of the cops, in terms of law enforcement, in terms of illegal immigrants, we're going to give them free food, free shelter, free education, and drivers licenses. if you did it, be proud of it. don't run from it. i should not have to lift this up. put that in his prompter and just embrace it. >> steve: so last night we got our first look at him. there is one other tid bit that's really interesting. so he didn't know -- yesterday at this time he did not know he was the pick. and he is at the governor's mansion. and he gets a phone call. and it was apparently a blocked number. didn't answer it. it was the vice president about to offer him the job. so they

baker took a medical leave of absence to surgically transition from male to female at the university of minnesota hospital, and to recover at home extended leaves of absence were one of the benefits offered to of the mpi. workers were given full salaries the first two months of their medical leave and then 60% salary for subsequent as a long time employee who had reportedly never missed a day of work. baker believed that the taxpayer would care for her throughout her convalescence about two months into her absence, however apparently as part of the administrative process, transferring baker from her full salary to the 60% disability pay the taxpayer requested additional documentation from baker's company. then when the insurance form revealed that baker had undergone surgical gender affirmation. company officials scrambled to dismiss her. four days later, on july 18th, 1969, tcpalm management issued a letter firing baker on the grounds that she had, quote, voluntary early absented herself from work without adequate notice to supervisors. suddenly unemployed baker was forced to relocate to salt ci

that this is a house that is owned by the university of minnesota or something like that because the governor's mansion is under renovation, so it's a long roundabout way of saying that that's the house living in right now and that's where he's been a departing from just the last couple of minutes that's right. >> we're just a few seconds ago, we saw three suburban trains come out. they've flipped on the lights and that's usually the telltale sign, the protectee is inside and on the move. where's he going? that's what we're trying to find out. just talk me, put my phone down and i'm working the phones to try to figure out where he and his team are going at the moment. what we know is that there wasn't anything on the public schedule, so nothing that we expected him i'm to go to today, but clearly there is a movement here, jim and the energy around here is electric. when we saw him pull out, the crowd started cheering it's a very big moment here in st. paul. neighbors are very excited. this is a huge moment for the state of minnesota as well. and when i talked to voters here, they say

ktvu spoke to an associate professor at the university of minnesota who says this convention is a wayroduce the candidate and their family. >> that was amazing. i mean, i think minnesotans in general, you know, have a much better sense of gwen walz. than they do his children, because, of course, you know, they're not that old. and so they've largely been out of the limelight, especially gus the younger, his younger son, so we, you know, we don't know that much about his kids other than what he posts on social media and sort of what, you know, they might post, but it's clear from the way he talks about his family that his family and children are extraordinarily important to him. >> now, the professor also says walz is known for his midwest charm, directness and authenticity. >> meanwhile, republican presidential nominee donald trump is out west today. he'll talk about immigration while near the us-mexico border in southern arizona, and tomorrow he'll appear in a rally in the phoenix suburb of glendale. trump campaigned with running mate j.d. vance yesterday in north carolina. it was hi

his signature issue as governor of minnesota was delivering universal free school meals. ho for many years has advocated gun rights. you're going to have a tough time portraying him as some sort of dangerous, wacko liberal. well, i think if you look carefully at some of the things he's supposedly signed on, some very woke policies, especially on the crime. you know, when the blm riots started, ground zero was in minneapolis. that's where george floyd... the incident involving george floyd injune of 2020 was in was in minneapolis, in minnesota. and his response was very awful. it was not supportive of the police during the riots. and then he was helping — like kamala harris was — bailing out and getting out ofjail people that were violent protesters. some of them have gone on to commit very vicious, violent crimes after they were bailed out by kamala and governor walz. so i think it's not a very good, positive record, and i think that people are going to look very carefully... i think as a congressman, he wasn't so bad. but i think he, if you look at different policies, gen

being good stewards of the taxpayer dollars, we want to make sure every building owned by the taxpayer is in good repair. buildings like the one at minnesota state and the university are in need of renovation and upkeep. our infrastructure plan is has funding to make it happen. the good news is all of that work will be done by union labor. [applause] things might not be that flashy, but these are the initiatives that make an enormous difference in real people's lives across the state. and there is no reason we cannot get them done this session. there is no reason both parties can't be part of getting this done. i know we are not going to agree on everything. safe streets we can agree on. clean water we can agree on. affordable housing we can agree on. so i'm asking you to join me, not just at the ribbon-cutting, but in the work to get it done in the first place. [applause] one last thing i would like to talk about when you are in this space. i walked around the halls. some of you i hope you got a chance to see this magnificent facility. i walked around the halls and i tried to put myself in the shoes of a student walking in there for the first time. i want those k

there meredith walz he passed several progressive policies when he was governor of minnesota a universal school lunches abortion rights, paid family and medical leave universal gun background checks, or red flag law there's a long list of legalizing recreational marijuana what is your sense of tim walz as governor of minnesota, was he a progressive governor and your mind, you know, he's a really common sense guy. and so he doesn't take stances because they're progressive. >> any wants to please one side of the political spectrum. he does what he does to make life better in minnesota. he's long focused on making minnesota the best state in the country for children and for families to live. and so having a healthy economy, having kids who have food at school so they can eat, ensuring their families are housing stable ensuring that we remove the detrimental criminal records for people who have very small possession charges of a substance. we now largely isn't legal, isn't he legal in minnesota? and it largely is isn't illegal across most of the country. those are the things he's done to mak

of the new york state democratic party. he is now a msnbc political analyst and columbia university professor. publisher of the morning take newsletter in minnesota political analyst. you were in the room. what was it like at that rally tonight? >> the rally was huge, first of all. 14,000 people filled the arena in philadelphia and it was a rocket. this is a campaign where you can feel the energy in the room. people were waiting with these signs that said harris-walz and people were feeling relieved and telling how happy they were to see the joy back in the party. when he was thanking president harris for testing them he also said multiple times, thank you for bringing joy back to our party. a tumultuous few weeks for democrats. that crowd might not of been clear on tv, but that crowd was really doing a call and return to it -- return when it came to both candidates. at one point they were laughing really hard when he said crime was up and former president trump was in office and he said that doesn't include the crimes committed by him. that line was a zinger and was probably the biggest applause, garnered the biggest applause from the crowd. he

that's because wisconsin universities are not only wisconsinites, they are students from across the region. so many any of the kids at the university actually are from minnesota and they know their governor well. sara, we got a sense of how the governor is going to make the argument across the midwest. let's listen like all regular people i grew up with in the heartland, jd studied at yale had his career funded by 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 so sara, today we will hear a performance from the folk artists bon iver will also we will also hear about the infrastructure that they have buildup here in the midwest. >> they have 400 field offices 100 field offices, 400 staff. and then after here they'll head onto michigan, arizona, and las vegas as they continue to make their case this brand new ticket has just three months to do that, eva mckend, i know you will be on the trail watching all that happens and bring us anything new that you get as soon as you get it. thank you so much, john, sarah palin might say you

conflict of interest because governor walz is the chairman of the minnesota state board of investment that governs state pension funds and universityments on the like and they're saying if you contribute that, we'll be breaking federal law. this campaign about to hit a wall, kamala harris and tim walz. >> that's a little bit of problem for the democrats and advantage they have is they've got the media and social media companies that are completely in the tank for them. they'll cover and you happen do everything they can to denigrate president trump and jd vance and that's very powerful thing you're up against and running at republican and against the democrat that media wants. liz: senator johnson, great analysis for you. thanks for joining us. >> have a great evening. lauren: that's tim walls and deepens over walz and embellishing and falsifying his military career. watch him falsely imply that he served in afghanistan and iraq and that he carried weapons of war in war and he never saw combat. he was deployed by the national guard to cushy italy and quit his unit for politics before it was deployed to iraq in 2005. watch. >> i spe

vance as a sectional predator, you see what i did there, before he was governor of minnesota, where he provided universalol meals for students, for protective freedoms and laid the groundwork to get minnesota to 100% clean electricity by 2040, kamala harris's running mate, tim walz worked as a high school teacher and football coach. in the days since the announcement, we've learned from former students just how formative his time as an educator and coach was. not just to his political career, but also to walz as a person. he first taught in his native rural nebraska where he met his wife gwen, whom he shared a classroom with. then in minnesota, where he was named most inspiring teacher for efforts including helping found its first gay/straight alliance group. and coaching the varsity football team to their first state championship. his students in the days since the announcement took to social media to share their stories. one told abc news, quote, he wasn't screaming when you failed. he was screaming when you did well. he's two firsts over his head, jumping 3 feet in the air, unquote. another, noah hobb
