KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN AT TEN. WE ARE JUST HOURS AWAY FROM THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL TICKET WILL BE MADE OFFICIAL. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I'M ROB MCCARTNEY, I'M JULIE CORNELL. WE HAVE TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT. KALYN NORWOOD IS IN CHICAGO WITH LAST MINUTE PREPARATIONS FOR THE CONVENTION. FIRST, ALEX MCLOON IS GETTING THE FACTS ON TIM WALZ'S CAMPAIGN SPEECH DURING HIS TRIP TO LA VISTA THIS WEEKEND. ALEX. ROB. JULIE WALZ TOUCHED ON TAXES, BRIEFLY MENTNTIONED JOINING THE NATIONAL GUARD AND LET HIS FORMER STUDENT TALK ABOUT HIS ABORTION RECORD AND ALL THIS WEEKEND'S SPEECH COULD USE SOME CONTEXT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR VOTE. NEBRASKA NATIVE TIM WALZ, TAPPING INTO HIS RURAL ROOTS TO KEEP OMAHA BLUE AND TAKE AN ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE AWAY FROM REPUBLICANS. DO YOU THINK JD VANCE KNOWS ONE -- THING ABOUT NEBRASKA. WALL SPENT PART OF SATURDAY'S RALLY ATTACKING VANCE AND DONALD TRUMP. YOU THINK HE'S EVER HAD A RUNZA? YOU THINK HE'S EVER HAD A RUNZA? THAT GUY WOULD CALL IT A HOT POCKET. YOU KNOW IT. THE GOVERNOR ALSO ALLOWING HIS FORMER ALLIANCE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TO TALK ABOUT HIS ABORTION RECORD, MADE MINNESOTA THE FIRST STATE TO PASS A LAW CODIFYING ABORTION RIGHTS AFTER DONALD TRUMP OVERTURNED ROE V WADE. IT'S A FACT, WALZ MADE MINNESOTA THE FIRST STATE TO PASS A LAW CODIFYING ABORTION RIGHTS, AFTER THE REVERSAL OF ROE V WADE. MINNESOTA STATE DEMOCRATS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THEIR CONTROL OF THE STATE'S LEGISLATURE. THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED ROE AND FACTCHECK.ORG SAYS TRUMP APPOINTED THREE OF THE NINE JUSTICES, GIVINGNG THE COURT THE CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY NEEDED FOR THE REVERSAL. TRUMP HAS SAID HE WOULD LEAVE ABORTION RESTRICTIONS UP TO THE STATES. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT IT'S UP TO THE STATES. HE WOULD NOT SIGN A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN. HE BELIEVES IN FINDING CONSENSUS. NEXT, THE NATIONAL GUARD RECORD. TWO DAYS AFTER I TURNED 17, I WENT AND RAISED MY HAND AND JOINED THE NEBRASKA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD. THAT'S A FACT. ACCORDING TO SERVICE RECORDS, WALZ SERVED 24 YEARS, BUT VOTERS NEED TO KNOW WALZ HAD TO CLARIFY HIS HISTORY AND RANK UPON RETIREMENT IN THE EARLY DAYS AS A VP PICK. OUR D.C. BUREAU REPORTS. WALZ HELD SEVERAL POSITIONS, CULMINATING HIS CAREER AS A COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR, BUT RETIRED AT THE LOWER MASTER SERGEANT RANK BECAUSE HE DID NOT COMPLETE PROPER COURSEWORK. THE HARRIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE ONCE WRONGLY LISTED WALLS AS THE HIGHER RANK, WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN REMOVED. WALZ DID NOT SERVE IN A COMBAT ZONE, BUT HIS UNIT WENT TO ITALY TO SUPPORT SECURITY MISSIONS IN EUROPE. NOW, WHEN IT COMES TO TAXES CUTTING TAXES NOT FOR THE BILLIONAIRES, BUT FOR THE FOLKS IN THIS ROOM AND THE MIDDLE CLASS, THIS NEEDS CONTEXT. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS PITCHED HER ECONOMIC POLICY FRIDAY, A PLAN THAT WOULD IMPOSE A FEDERAL BAN ON PRICE GOUGING GROCERIES AND ENACT A NEW $6,000 CHILD TAX CREDIT FOR FAMILIES WITH NEWBORN CHILDREN AND GIVE FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS $25,000 IN DOWN PAYMENT. SUPPORT, AMONG OTHER PROPOSALS. WALLS IN THE CAMPAIGN ARE STAYING AWAY FROM HIS 1995 DRUNK DRIVING ARREST IN NEBRASKA COURT, AND POLICE RECORDS SAY. WALZ ADMITTED TO DRINKING WHEN HE WAS PULLED D OVER FOR DRIVING 96 AND A 55 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. THOSE RECORDS SAY WALLS HAD A BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL OF 0.128, WHICH IS WELL ABOVE THE STATE'S LEGAL LIMIT AT 0.1 AT THAT TIME. BACK IN 1995, WALZ GOT A REDUCED RECKLESS DRIVING CHARGE, LOST HIS LICENSE FOR 90 DAYS, WAS FINED $200, AND SAYS HE HAS SINCE QUIT DRINKING AND NOW PREFERS DI
