AND, X AT @CSPANWJ. WE WILL START WITH GOVERNOR WALZ 'S BIO. HE WAS ELECTED GOVERNOR IN 2018 AND ON HIS SECOND TERM. HE SERVED 12 YEARS IN CONGRESS REPRESENTING MINNESOTA'S FIRST DISTRICT. UNTIL 2005, HE WAS IN THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD FOR 24 YEARS. BEFORE ENTERING POLITICS HE WAS A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER AND FOOTBALL COACH. HE IS 60 YEARS OLD AND HAS TWO KIDS AND HAS BEEN MARRIETO HIS WIFE FOR 30 YEARS. WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HE SAID YESTERDAY AT THE RALLY IN PHILADELPHIA ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND. [VIDEO] >> I WAS BORN IN WEST POINT, THE RISK OF. I LIVED IN A SMALL TOWN OF 400 WERE COMMUNITY WAS A WAY OF LIFE. I SPENT THE SUMMERS WORKING ON THE FAMILY FARM. MY MOM AND DAD TAUGHT US TO SHOW GENEROSITY TOWARD YOUR NEIGHBORS AND WORK FOR A COMMON GOOD. [APPLAUSE] MY DAD SERVED IN THE ARMY DURING THE KOREAN WAR. WITH HIS ENCOURAGEMENT AT 17 I JOINED THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD. [APPLAUSE] FOR 24 YEARS, I PROUDLY WORE THE UNIFORM OF THIS NATION. [CHEERS] [APPLAUSE] THE NATIONAL GUARD GAVE ME PURPOSE. IT GAVE ME THE STRENGTH OF A SHARED COMMITMENT TO SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES. JUST AS IT DID FOR MY DAD AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS, THE G.I. BILL GAVE ME A SHOT AT A COLLEGE EDUCATION. [APPLAUSE] MY DAD WAS A TEACHER. MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND I FOLLOWED IN THEIR FOOTSTEPS. THREE OUT OF FOUR OF US MARRIED TEACHERS. [CHEERS] IT'S WHAT WE DO. FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF TEACHING HIGH SCHOOL SOCIAL STUDIES AND COACHING FOOTBALL. [CHEERS] [APPLAUSE] INCLUDING WINNING THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. [CHEERS] DON'T EVER CLOSE THE YEARBOOK. BUT IT WAS MY STUDENTS. THEY ENCOURAGED ME TO RUN FOR OFFICE. THEY SAW AND BE WHAT I WAS HOPING TO INSTILL IN THEM. A COMMITMENT OF COMMON GOOD. THEY BELIEVE THAT ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IN 2006, I TOOK A LEAP AND I RAN FOR CONGRESS. [APPLAUSE] AND BECAUSE HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE SUPER OPTIMISTIC, I WAS RUNNING IN A DISTRICT WITH ONE DEMOCRAT SINCE 1892. MY NEIGHBORS GRACED ME WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPRESENT THEM IN THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. [CHEERS] [APPLAUSE] I AM PROUD OF THE WORK WE DID THERE TOGETHER. I WORKED ACROSS THE AISLE ON VETERANS ISSUES, AGRICULTURE, ON WAYS TO GROW THE RURAL ECONOMY. I LEARNED THE ART OF COMPROMISE WITHOUT COMPROMISING MY VALUES. HOST: IF YOU MISSED THE RALLY, IT IS ON HER WEBSITE IN ITS ENTIRETY AT C-SPAN.ORG. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP REACTED TO THIS PIC ON TRUE SOCIAL. "THIS IS THE MOST RADICAL LEFT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND THEN NEVER WILL BE AGAIN. CRAZY KAMALA IS ALL CRAZY. I HEAR THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT TO BRING BACK CROOKED JOE." WE WILL GO TO WILLIE IN ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND. DEMOCRAT. CALLER: I THOUGHT IT WAS EXCELLENT WITH THE SPEECH WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE GOVERNOR FROM MINNESOTA. I DON'T THING TO HAVE ANYTHING BETTER. MY MAIN CONCERN, AND I MIGHT BE OFF POINT, BUT WILL THERE BE A PROGRAM IN REFERENCE TO SAFETY? HILLARY CLINTON LOOKED LIKE SHE WOULD BE DONALD TRUMP AT THEM HAVE THIS CONSPIRACY OF INTERVIEWING WITH THE INTERNET AND THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN. I THINK SHE WILL BEAT TRUMP AND BUY A BIGGER MARGIN THAN PEOPLE THINK. THAT IS MY MAIN CONCERN NOW. CYBERSECURITY AT THE POLLS. HOST: GLENN IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS. REPUBLICAN. CALLER: GOOD MORNING. I SAW THE SPEECH HARRISON WALZ -- HARRIS AND WALZ GAVE. IT WAS THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF LIES. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IF I DEVOTE HE DID WHEN HE WAS IN THE MILITARY, LEAVING HIS TROOPS TO DIE, I WOULDN'T BE ON THAT STAGE BRAGGING ABOUT HIS LIFE. I WOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIS LIFE. THE DEMOCRATS [INAUDIBLE] THEY ARE GOING TO NAIL HIM. IF THEY GET TO BE ELECTED WE WILL BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY. IF THEY GET TO BE ELECTED THIS COUNTRY IS GOING TO HELL. EVERYBODY WILL BE BROKE. HOST: WHEN YOU SEE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY, WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT HAPPENED SPECIFICALLY THAT WOULD LEAD TO COMMUNISM? CALLER: BERNIE SANDERS A SOCIALIST PERSON. HE PUSHED THESE TWO PEOPLE TO BE SOCIALIST-COMMUNISTS. BERNIE SANDERS SAID YEARS AGO THE USA WILL SOON BE A SOCIALIST COUNTRY. THAT MEANS THEY WILL BE COMMUNISTS. THEY WANT TO RUN EVERYTHING. THE VOTERS WILL HAVE NO SAY ON WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO BUY. IT WILL BE LIKE RUSSIA. HOST: ALL RIGHT. BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. DEMOCRATS LINE. CALLER: GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. I WANT TO SAY I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY GOOD SPEECH. LET ME SAY MY CONCERN ABOUT TIM WALZ. FIRST OF ALL, DID AFFECT SWISS DECISION HARRIS WILL MAKE ABOUT GOING MORE LEFT, WHICH I DON'T LIKE. I THINK TIM WALZ IS A LITTLE MORE LEFT THAN WE WANT. THE LOOK THINK WE KNOW HIM IS AS A [INDISCERNIBLE] HE TALKED ABOUT [INDISCERNIBLE] DID NOT STOP THE RIGHT. I WANT TO SAY MY CONCERN ABOUT WALZ EVEN THOUGH I THINK HARRIS WILL BE A GOOD PRESIDENT. HOST: STEPHEN IS NEXT. LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY. DEMOCRAT. CALLER: THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE PIC. -- PICK. REPUBLICANS ARE LOOKING AT MR. WALZ. OK, HE'S NOT THAT BAD. HE'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD PICK. ON PAPER. TRUMP-VANCE, KAMALA AND WALZ ARE ON A PIECE OF PAPER. TRUMP LOOKS THE WORST. ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, GREAT CHOICES. I LOVE IT. MY WIFE WAS A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER. A TEACHER ON THE TEAM IS HUGE. IT IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. REPUBLICANS, YOU KNOW YOU LIKE THE CHOICES. YOU KNOW IT IS NOT THAT BAD. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO COME TO THE MIDDLE GROUND. IT'S ACTUALLY A GREAT CHOICE. WALZ IS GREAT SO I'M HAPPY. HOST: GREG ON FACEBOOK AGREES ABOUT THE TEACHER PART. "AN EDUCATOR IN THE WHITE HOUSE. PERFECT." A PREVIOUS CALLER MENTIONED THE RIOTS IN MINNESOTA. THIS IS IN POLITICO. HOW THE SUMMER OF UNREST BARRED BY GEORGE FLOYD'S MURDER PUT WALZ IN THE SPOTLIGHT. TRUMP MADE THE UNREST IN MINNEAPOLIS A FOCAL POINT OF HIS 2020 CAMPAIGN. "TIM WALZ GOT DONALD TRUMP'S ATTENTION AFTER UNREST BROKE OUT IN MINNESOTA AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN 2020. THEN-PRESIDENT TRUMP BLISTERED THE GOVERNOR FOR THE PROTEST THAT CONSUMED MINNEAPOLIS FOLLOWING FLOYD'S MURDER AND FOR NOT MOVING FASTER TO DEPLOY THE NATIONAL GUARD. THOUGH WALZ'S STATE IS NOT AFFECTED TO BE COMPETITIVE, THE HANDLING OF THE CRISIS IS LIKELY TO BE A FOCAL POINT AGAIN." HERE A GOP STRATEGIST. "THEY WILL BE TRY TO THROW A BUNCH OF STUFF AGAINST THE WALL AND SEE WHAT STICKS. THE PROBLEM THAT CREATES IS WE ARE ON A VERY TRUNCATED CALENDAR SCHEDULE. WE WILL SEE A LOT OF THAT THROWING STUFF AGAINST THE WALL TO SEE WHAT STICKS. " BRENDA, INDIANA, PENNSYLVANIA. CALLER: GOOD MORNING. I THINK GOVERNOR WALZ IS AN EXCELLENT SELECTION. HE SOUNDS LIKE IT DOWN TO EARTH, DECENT MAN. AS FAR AS DONALD TRUMP MISSPELLING KAMALA HARRIS'S NAME, THAT IS NOT THE LENDING HE MISSPELLED. ONE DONALD TRUMP WAS GIVING HIS -- WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS GIVING HIS EXCEPTED SPEECH OF THE RNC, DONALD TRUMP IS BUILT THE NAME OF THE FIREFIGHTER HE WAS HONORING ON THE BACK OF THE FIREMEN'S JACKET ON STAGE THERE. DONALD TRUMP MISSPELLED THE FIREFIGHTER'S LAST NAME AS WELL. AS FAR AS BEING COMMUNIST, DONALD TRUMP IS THE ONLY ONE THAT PRAISES PUTIN AND THINKS PUTIN IS GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HOST: LET'S LOOK AT A PORTION OF VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FROM YESTERDAY'S RALLY TALKING ABOUT HER PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. [VIDEO] >> THIS CAMPAIGN, OUR CAMPAIGN, IS NOT JUSTIFIED AGAINST DONALD TRUMP. OUR CAMPAIGN, THIS CAMPAIGN, IS A FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE. [CHEERS] IT IS A FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE. PENNSYLVANIA, WE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE, AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE, PAID LEAVE. WE FIGHT FOR A FUTURE WHERE WE BUILT A BROAD-BASED ECONOMY, WHERE EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A HOME, TO START A BUSINESS, AND TO BUILD WEALTH. [CHEERS] WE FIGHT FOR A FUTURE WHERE WE BRING DOWN PRICES THAT IS STILL TOO HIGH AND LOWER THE COST OF LIVING FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES. [CHEERS] SO THAT THEY HAVE A CHANCE NOT JUST TO GET BY, BUT TO GET AHEAD. [CHEERS] WE FIGHT FOR A FUTURE WHERE WE DEFEND OUR MOST FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS. THE FREEDOM TO VOTE. [CHEERS] THE FREEDOM TO BE SAFE FROM GUN VIOLENCE. [CHEERS] THE FREEDOM TO LOVE WHO YOU LOVE OPENLY AND WITH PRIDE. [CHEERS] AND, THE FREEDOM OF A WOMAN TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HER OWN BODY. NOT HAVING HER GOVERNMENT TELL HER WHAT TO DO. [CHEERS] HOST: WE ARE GETTING REACTION TO THE PIC OF GOVERNOR TIM WALZ AS VP RUNNING MATE FOR VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. THE NUMBERS ON YOUR SCREEN. REPUBLICANS, (202) 748-8001. DEMOCRATS, (202) 748-8000. INDEPENDENTS, (202) 748-8002. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM MINNESOTA RESIDENTS ABOUT YOUR GOVERNOR BEING PICKED. THE NUMBER IS (202) 748-8003. WE ARE GETTING REACTIONS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. BILL ON FACEBOOK SAYS HE IS UNAFFILIATED IN FROM MICHIGAN. "MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME. I'M VOTING THIRD PARTY. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS." LUCRITIA SAID, "SEEING THESE HIGHLIGHTS OF PHYSIC, SCHMITZ AND ANIMALS AND KIDS, KAMALA HARRIS COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A BETTER GOT TO GET THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE. THEY HAVE MY VOTE." DEREK'S REACTION IS, "MEH. SHOULD HAVE PICKED SHAPIRO." BOB IN FORT CRANE, NEW YORK. ROB, SORRY. CALLER: IHINK THIS MAN IS A RADICAL. HE IS WORSE THAN KAMALA. HE WAS GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA WHEN THEY BURNED MINNEAPOLIS TO THE GRANT. KAMALA BAILED HIM OUT. HE PUSHED FOR TAMPA PONDS AND BOYS BATHROOMS, SEX CHANGES FOR MINORS AND DRIVERS LICENSE FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. IT DOESN'T GET ANY WORTH THE NET. THE CALL THAT SAY HE'S A GREAT PICK, HE'S A HORRIBLE PICK. DON'T FORGET WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT SHE GOT 1% OF THE VOTE AND DROPPED OUT. SHE WILL GET EVEN LESS THAN THAT THIS TIME. SHE'S A NUT JOB. IT CRACKS ME UP. EVERY SENTENCE SHE SAYS -- WHAT A BUNCH OF SHEEP. HE DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. DONALD TRUMP IS THE OTHER PERSON WHO CAN BRING THIS COUNTRY OUT OF WHAT WE ARE HEADED FOR RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS WORLD WAR III AND -- HOST: AS AN INDEPENDENT DID YOU VOTE FOR BIDEN OR TRUMP IN THE LAST ELECTION? CALLER: I DIDN'T VOTE FOR EITHER ONE OF THEM. I VOTED FOR A THIRD PARTY. THIS TIME OF VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE I SEE WHAT JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS HAVE DONE TO THIS COUNTRY. THERE ARE 15 MILLION ILLEGALS RAPING AND MURDERING AMERICANS. THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN THE U.K. THEY ARE A YEAR AHEAD OF US BUT THEY'RE HEADING FOR CIVIL WAR AND SEVERAL WE HAVE WE DON'T TURN THIS MESS AROUND. HOST: JOSEPH IN PENNSYLVANIA, DEMOCRAT. CALLER: YES. I AM GREEDY AND I'M REALLY GLAD SHAPIRO IS STILL GOING TO BE GOVERNOR IN PENNSYLVANIA. IT KEEPS PENNSYLVANIA BLUE FOR THE NEXT SIX YEARS. HE WILL SERVE TWO FULL TERMS AND THAT IS WHAT WE WANT. BY NOT PICKING KELLY, IT DOESN'T REMOVE A DEMOCRAT FROM THE SENATE NUMBERS. THAT IS ALSO IMPORTANT. THAT WAS A GREAT PICK. WALZ WAS REALLY A GOOD CHOICE. SAW A LITTLE OF HIS RESUME BEFORE THIS. GOT MORE IN DEPTH AS IT GOES. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DEBATES WHERE WE HAVE TIMMY AGAINST JIMMY TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES, BECAUSE I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY JAMES DONALD VANCE GOES BY JD AND NOT HIS CHRISTIAN NAME OF JAMES. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TIM AGAINST JIM AND THE DEBATES -- IN THE DEBATES. TIM WILL WIN HANDS DOWN. HOST: HERE IS MORE FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES. WALZ HAS FACED CRITICISM FOR HIS RESPONSE TO GEORGE FLOYD'S PROTESTS. SOME BELIEVE GOVERNOR WALZ SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD SOONER WHEN RIOTS BROKE OUT FOLLOWING THE POLICE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD. HE WAS A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR INTO HIS FIRST TERM AS GOVERNOR WHEN HE FACED HIS BIGGEST TEST. TO STATE ALREADY IN THE THROES OF THE COVER 19 PANDEMIC WAS SUDDENLY IN THE INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT AFTER MANY LAPS -- A MINNEAPOLIS POLICE OFFICER WAS FILLED MURDERING GEORGE FLOYD. LOOTING, ARSON AND VIOLENCE FOLLOWED, QUICKLY OVERWHELMING THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. SOME FAULTED MR. WALZ FOR NOT DOING MORE AND NOT MOVING FASTER TO BRING THE SITUATION UNDER CONTROL WITH THE MINNESOTA NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS AND OTHER STATE OFFICIALS. TWO DAYS AFTER MR. FLOYD'S DEATH, THE CITY'S MAYOR JACOB FREY ASKED MR. WALZ TO DEPLOY THE NATIONAL GUARD. HOURS LATER, THE POLICE CHIEFS EMITTED A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR 600 TROOPS BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE NEXT AFTERNOON THAT MR. WALZ SIGNED AN EXECUTOR ORDER ALLOWING THE GUARD TO ASSIST THE CITY. HERE IS KATHY. MONROE, MICHIGAN. REPUBLICAN. CALLER: HI. I THINK THE DEMOCRATS DESCRIBED HIM AS THEY WANT IN A POSITIVE LIGHT, JUST LIKE THEY DO WITH VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. I DO THINK THE TRUTH AND THAT IS GOING TO GET OUT. I HOPE DEMOCRATS TO LOOK ELSEWHERE THEN CNN, ABC, NBC, ALL THAT. I WANT TO MENTION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE HOUSE CONDEMNED VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FOR FAILURE TO DO THE BORDER CONTROL. SIX DEMOCRATS VOTED ALONG WITH IT. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY SEGMENT ON THAT ON YOUR PROGRAM. I WONDER IF YOU CAN CHECK INTO THAT. MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE A SEGMENT ON THAT SO THAT WOULD BRING MORE TRUTH TO HER. I JUST DON'T SEE HOW DEMOCRATS CAN VOTE DEMOCRAT. LOOK AT THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THERE WAS COCAINE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE HAD HOSTAGES IN GAZA. IT IS JUST REALLY BEEN BAD. THEY TREATED NETANYAHU BAD. THEY HAD TOPLESS WOMEN AT THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY ARE FOR TRANSGENDER. HOST: RUTH IN TEXAS, DEMOCRAT. CALLER: GOOD MORNING, MIMI. HOST: GO AHEAD, BRUCE. CALLER: OK. DO YOU FEEL THE FRESH AIR BLOWING IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW? THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BETTER PICKS KAMALA COULD HAVE DONE. I LIVE AT THE BORDER. I KNOW ALL ABOUT THE BORDER. I HAVE BEEN LIVING AT THE BORDER FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I KNOW ALL THE DIFFERENT LITTLE ISSUES AND NOT ONE PERSON CAN BE IN CONTROL OF ONE BORDER. IT TAKES EVERYBODY TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE BORDER. IT TAKES VIGILANCE. IT TAKES BEING AWARE, STAYING ALERT, STAY ALIVE. I FEEL A BREATH OF FRESH AIR COMING INTO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. WHAT A WONDERFUL PICK. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME. I WANT TO EXPRESS MY FEELING ABOUT GO KAMALA, GO. HOST: OUR PREVIOUS CALLER WAS ASKING US ABOUT THE HOUSE VOTE. HERE IS INFORMATION ON THAT. THIS IS TWO WEEKS AGO. POLITICO. HALF A DOZEN DEMS JOIN GOP CONDEMNING HARRIS'S WORK ON THE BORDER. SIX DEMOCRATS BACK TO PURELY SYMBOL A KELCE RESOLUTION. REPUBLICANS USED A SLIM MAJORITY ON THURSDAY, JULY 25, THE TARGET VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS. SOME DEMOCRATS BACK TO THE EFFORT. THE HOUSE RESOLUTION CRITICIZING HARRIS FOR HER WORK ON THE BORDER. THE VOTE WAS 220-196. IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A KEY LINE OF ATTACKS AS THEY PIVOT THE ELECTION STRATEGY TO HARRIS. LET'S HEAR FROM VICE PRESIDENT OF NOMINEE JD VANCE ON HIS REACTION TO TIM WALZ BEING PICKED AS VP. [VIDEO] >> OBVIOUSLY THE BIG NEWS OF THE DAY IS THAT TIM WALZ HAS BEEN NOMINATED AS THE VP, THOR IS NOW THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE I SHOULD SAY FOR KAMALA HARRIS. MY VIEW IS IT JUST HIGHLIGHTS HOW RADICAL KAMALA HARRIS IS. THIS IS A PERSON WHO LISTENED TO HER OWN PARTY AND SELECTED A NOMINEE. THIS GUY HAS PROPOSED SHIPPING MORE MANUFACTURING JOBS TO CHINA. WHO WANTS TO MAKE THE MAKING PEOPLE MORE RELIANT ON GARBAGE ENERGY AND OF GOOD AMERICAN ENERGY. HAS PROPOSED DEFINING THE POLICE AS KAMALA HARRIS DOES. IT'S INTERESTING. THEY MAKE AN INTERESTING TAGTEAM. TIM WALZ ALLOWED RIOTERS TO BURN DOWN MINNEAPOLIS IN THE SUMMER OF 2020. IT IS MORE INSTRUCTIVE FOR WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS. SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE BORDER OR CRIME. SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AMERICAN ENERGY. SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE AMERICANS WHO HAVE BEEN MADE TO SUFFER UNDER THOSE POLICIES. HOST: WE ARE GETTING YOUR REACTION TO GOVERNOR TIM WALZ BEING SELECTED AS KAMALA HARRIS'S RUNNING MATE. SCOTT ON FACEBOOK. "NOT A GOOD PICK. NOR WAS VANCE. IT PROBABLY BALANCES OUT." THIS IS AMY FROM PALM COAST, FLORIDA. INDEPENDENT. CALLER: GOOD MORNING. I AM THRILLED ABOUT THE SELECTION OF TIM WALZ AS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF CANDIDATE. I JUST -- HELLO? HOST: I WAS GOING TO SAY WHY IS THAT. GO AHEAD. CALLER: HE TRULY IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. WE HAVE NOT HAD A POPULIST PRESIDENT IN OVER 50 YEARS. VICE PRESIDENT. ANYBODY ON THE PRESIDENTIAL TICKET, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANYONE LIKE HIM FOR 50 YEARS AT LEAST. EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE FOR EDUCATION, PROVIDING FREE SCHOOL LUNCHES TO CHILDREN. WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR WORKERS. HE IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS FOR AMAZON WORKERS. HE'S VERY PRO-WORKER. THAT IS GREAT. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. HE DID THE POLICE BRUTALITY REFORM AFTER THE GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS. HE IS SOMEBODY THAT DOES TAKE ACTION. HE DOES WHAT IS BEST FOR HIS PEOPLE. I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH ON THE WHOLE TRANS THING. I KNOW REPUBLICANS WANT TO FASHION FOR THIS. -- BASH HIM FOR THIS. HE MADE MINNESOTA A SANCTUARY STATE FOR FAMILIES THAT WERE TRYING TO GET HELP FOR THEIR CHILDREN. IN REPUBLICAN STATES LIKE FLORIDA, MAYBE UTAH, PROBABLY TEXAS, THE STATE CANNOT ONLY TAKE YOUR CHILD BUT THEY CAN JAIL YOU FOR GETTING GENDER AFFIRMING CARE FOR YOUR CHILD. ALL HE DID WAS MAKE MINNESOTA A SANCTUARY STATE FOR PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO HAVE GENDER AFFIRMING CARE. PROBABLY THE SAME THING FOR ABORTION AS WELL SINCE WE WILL HAVE WOMEN HAVING TO FLEE THEIR STATES IN ORDER TO GET REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE. I JUST THINK KAMALA HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. SHE HAS BROUGHT THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TOGETHER. WE ARE JUST GOING TO SMASH THESE PROJECT 2025 AUTHORITARIANS IN NOVEMBER. HOST: HERE IS MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT, WHAT AMY WAS TALKING ABOUT. FROM THE ST. PAUL PATCH, WHAT'S IT ABOUT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ'S CONTROVERSIAL TAMPON BILL. TAMPON, PADS AND OTHER THINGS MUST BE FREE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IT SAYS SOME OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE LAWS IN MINNESOTA'S HISTORY OR PASSED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS DURING THE PERIOD WHEN DEMOCRATS HELD THE TRIFECTA AND STATE GOVERNMENT. ONE LOT REQUIRES PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO STOCK MISTRAL PRODUCTS AND ALL GIRLS AND BOYS BATHROOMS AT NO CHARGE TO STUDENTS. THE BILL WENT INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1. THE PRODUCTS MUST BE AVAILABLE IN RESTROOMS REGULARLY USED BY STUDENTS IN GRADES 4 THROUGH 12. STEVE IN PENNSYLVANIA. REPUBLICAN. CALLER: I'M STEVE. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. I THINK IT'S A GREAT PICK. I'M A REPUBLICAN. I THINK IS A GREAT PICK BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES. I THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLE DEAL. EVERY AMERICAN WILL HAVE A CHOICE THIS NOVEMBER TO CHOOSE WHERE YOU WANT THIS NATION TO GO. DO WE BECOME SOCIALISTS? ARE WE A DEMOCRACY? THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HOST: DEREK. LAUREL, MARYLAND. INDEPENDENT. CALLER: GOOD MORNING. IT'S A GREAT DAY. I'M EXCITED ABOUT WAS HAPPENING IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ALTHOUGH I AM A LINCOLN REPUBLICAN WHO HAD GONE OVER BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING BACK TO A CONVICTED FELON. I'M NOT GOING BACK TO AN ADULTERER. I'M NOT GOING BACK TO A FRAUDSTER. I'M NOT GOING BACK TO SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS TO UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS AND HAD SO MANY BANKRUPTCIES. I'M NOT GOING BACK TO THE EMPTY PROMISE REPUBLICANS. I'M MOVING FORWARD. I AM SO CHALLENGED BY EVERY TIME A REPUBLICAN GETS ON THIS LINE, ALL THEY CAN DO IS TALK ABOUT THE WORST, THE WORST. IF THE COUNTRY IS ABOUT, WHY DON'T YOU MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY? HOST: WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK, HAD YOU VOTED FOR MR. TRUMP IN THE PAST? CALLER: YES AND I'M NOT DOING IT AGAIN. HOST: WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR HIM? CALLER: I THOUGHT -- IT APPEARED TO BE A CHANGE. IT APPEARED TO BE BREAKING UP THE SYSTEM. WHAT IT TURNED OUT TO BE WAS JUST ONE SEEKING OUT RICHES FOR HE AND HIS CHILDREN. FOLKS OVER TO TALK ABOUT HIS CHILDREN AND HOW MANY RICHES THEY GAIN FROM THIS. -- GAINED FROM THIS. IT'S BEEN REALLY DISAPPOINTING. THE RIOTERS AT JANUARY 6, WE FORGET ABOUT THAT. LIVES WERE LOST. PROPERTY WAS DAMAGED. OUR SACRED BUILDING WAS VIOLATED. I CAN'T FORGET THAT. THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY A CONFEDERATE FLAG IS IN OUR CAPITOL. REPUBLICANS HAVE SHORT MEMORIES. VERY SHORT MEMORIES. YOU CAN'T SAY YOU STAND FOR THIS COUNTRY, THAT YOU STAND FOR THE CONSTITUTION AND YOU STAND FOR THE MILITARY. I FROM A MILITARY FAMILY. THAT IS NOT WITH MILITARY FOLKS TO. I MR. LEE DISAPPOINTED IN WHAT I'VE SEEN. I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. HOST: WESTCHESTER FIELD, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- WEST CHESTERFIELD COMING AFTER. --, NEW HAMPSHIRE. CALLER: GOVERNOR. ISZ A DOWN-TO-EARTH CHOICE --GOVERNOR WALZ IS A DOWN-TO-EARTH CHOICE. HE WILL WORK WITH EVERYBODY TO TRY TO GET THINGS DONE. I HAVE TO PUSH BACK ON A FEW OF THESE THINGS. SOME OF THE -- THAT LEFT REPUBLICAN GUY THAT CAME ON WAS SPOT ON. HE TRULY WAS. DONALD TRUMP IS A FELON. TALK ABOUT CHEAP -- SHEEPLE. PEOPLE BLINDLY FOLLOWING HIM AROUND OF THE TIME. OUR LASIX PRESIDENTS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BORDER. NOBODY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED. AT LEAST THE DEMOCRATS CAME UP -- DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS TOGETHER CAME UP WITH AN IDEA TO SEND STUFF TO THE BORDER. THERE WAS NO OTHER EARMARKS IN THAT BILL. IT WAS ALL STUFF THAT WOULD HAVE GONE TO THE BORDER, WOULD HAVE HELPED EASE THE BORDER AND MORE JUDGES, MORE OF EVERYTHING THE BORDER NEEDED TO HELP MAKE THINGS SAFE AND KEEP ILLEGAL DRUGS AND MIGRANTS -- ILLEGAL MIGRANTS OUT AT THAT POINT. NO. THEY JUST WANTED THE ISSUE. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. YEAH. NO MORAL STANDARDS, ETHICS, VALUES IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY RIGHT NOW. WHEN YOU START AT YOUR CAMPAIGN LIKE DONALD TRUMP DID THE LAST TIME THAT HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT BY ASKING ONE OF OUR BIGGEST ADVERSARIES, RUSSIA, FOR HELP AGAINST YOUR OPPONENT, THAT IS NOT A GOOD SIGN. TALK ABOUT COMMUNISM. ELECT A REPUBLICAN AND THAT IS WHAT WE WILL HAVE THIS COUNTRY, COMMUNISM. THANK YOU. HOST: MIKE IS A REPUBLICAN IN PALMETTO, FLORIDA. CALLER: THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. I THINK IT IS ALL IN THE SCRIPT. I HAVE ASKED MY FRIENDS THAT ARE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR IN THE PRIMARIES? A FEW SELECTED INDIVIDUALS IN THE PARTIES SELECTED THE CANDIDATES TO BE RUNNING. I DON'T THINK THAT IS REALLY FAIR. I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR EITHER. I DON'T KNOW IF I'GOING TO VOTE FOR CHASE OLIVER. I AM TIRED OF BOTH PARTIES, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE CONFLICT IN BOTH PARTIES. WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT THE REAL ISSUES. WHOEVER BECOMES PRESIDENT, I RESPECT THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE MY PRESIDENT NO MATTER WHAT. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHERE WE DENIED VOTING -- WERE WE DENIED VOTING IN THE PRIMARIES? I THINK WE WERE. THE INDEPENDENTS AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS AND SO FORTH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALWAYS A THIRD PARTY. IF WE KEEP LOOKING AT THE PEOPLE IN THERE AND HOW THEY GOT THERE, BY A VERY FEW, LOW PERCENTAGE OF INDIVIDUALS IN THAT PARTY, IS THAT REALLY A DEMOCRACY? THAT IS MY QUESTION. THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. HOST: A BIT OF NEWS FOR YOU FROM THE PRIMARIES. THIS IS THE NEW YORK TIMES ANNOUNCING THAT CORI BUSH, A SQUAD MEMBER AND A VOCAL CRITIC OF ISRAEL LOSES HER PRIMARY. HER DEFEAT IS ANOTHER LOSS FOR PROGRESSIVES IN A RACE DEFINED BY DEMOCRATIC DIVISIONS OVER THE WAR IN GAZA WITH PRO-ISRAEL GROUPS POURING MILLIONS INTO A CAMPAIGN TO OUST HER FROM OFFICE. GOING BACK TO OUR STORY ABOUT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ. HERE HE IS FROM YESTERDAY TOWARDS THE END OF THE RALLY. [VIDEO] >> WE HAVE 91 DAYS. BY GOD, THAT'S EASY. WE WILL SLEEP WHEN WERE DEAD. [CHEERS] -- WE'RE DEAD. [CHEERS] OVER THE NEXT 91 DAYS AND EVERY DAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE I WILL HAVE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS'S BACK. EVERY SINGLE DAY. [CHEERS] WE WILL HAVE YOURS. [CHEERS] YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS. WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE. WE NEED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. [CHEERS] GO TO KAMALAHARRIS.COM, GET ON BOARD BECAUSE WE NEED YOU. FREE TO MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES. THIS LEADER, THIS COMPASSIONATE, CAREFUL, JOYOUS LEADER BELIEVES IN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. [CHEERS] MY GOD, YOU CAME HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK. [CHEERS] SHE BELIEVES IN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON TO JOIN THE MIDDLE CLASS. SHE BELIEVES IN THE PROMISE OF AMERICA. WE JUST HAVE TO FIGHT. AS SOON TO BE PRESIDENT HARRIS SAYS, WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WENT! -- WIN! HOST: LANCASTER, VIRGINIA. MARY. CALLER: GOOD MORNING. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM THRILLED THAT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS PICKED GOVERNOR WALZ FOR HER RUNNING MATE. WE ALL GET SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE BASHING FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ABOUT WHO DO THIS AND WHO DID NOT DO THAT. I THINK IF WE COULD BUILD SOME INDUSTRY IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND MEXICO TO HAVE THESE PEOPLE PRODUCE A PRODUCT INSTEAD OF SENDING MONEY TO THE MIDDLE EAST , ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS HAVE A GOOD LIFE. IF THEY CAN HAVE A GOOD LIFE AT HOME, PERHAPS IT COULD SOLVE THE CRISIS AT THE BORDER. ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE BEEN RUNNING THE BUDGET ALL OF OUR LIVES. IT IS ABOUT TIME WE PUT A WOMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO RUN THE BUDGET. THANK YOU, DEAR. HOST: HAVE A GOOD DAY. ADAM IN JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY. DEMOCRAT. CALLER: I'M REALLY EXCITED. I THINK TRUMP IS SEMI-FASCIST. HE'S A TERRIBLE PERSON. YOU CAN'T WIN AN ELECTION IN OPPOSITION. I'M EXCITED TO PICK TIM WALZ MOSTLY BECAUSE OF WHAT HE'S DONE IN MINNESOTA. WHEN YOU TALK TO SOMEBODY AT A BAR, THEY WILL NOT BE TALKING ABOUT BANNING BOOKS OR SOME TRANS PERSON IN THE BATHROOM OR SOMETHING. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE COST OF LIVING. HIS PUSH TO MAKE IT EASIER TO RAISE A FAMILY IN MINNESOTA IS FANTASTIC. FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE TAKE OFF WHEN THEY HAVE A KID. IT SHOULD BE EVERYBODY. I THINK IT'S A HUGE THING. I HEAR PEOPLE CALLING IN SAYING THE DEMOCRATS ARE SOCIALISTS. WELL, IF GIVING KIDS LUNCHES AT SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE FOOD IN THEIR BELLIES TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN LEARN IS SOCIALIST OR COMMUNIST, THEN CALL ME LENIN. WALZ-HARRIS 2024. HOST: WILLIE FROM NORTH CAROLINA, INDEPENDENT. CALLER: I AM CALLING TO SAY I THINK THE PICK IS IRRELEVANT. MOST VP PICKS DON'T REALLY HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF IMPACT. I WAS AT ONE TIME A DEMOCRAT FROM CALIFORNIA. THE KAMALA HARRIS RECORD ITSELF IS WHAT HAS MADE ME REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN THIS TIME AROUND. I'M ACTUALLY NOT EVEN SURE I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP, BECAUSE TRUMP IS TRUMP. AT THE SAME TIME, KAMALA HARRIS IS KAMALA HARRIS. THE WALZ DOES NOT HELP. IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY HURTS OR BECAUSE OF THE GEORGE FLOYD SITUATION AND HOW HE MISHANDLED THAT AND BUNGLED IT AND COST, NEGLECT BUSINESSES DESTROYED? THOSE WERE NOT UPPER-CLASS OR ILLEGAL. FOR EVEN MIDDLE-CLASS BUSINESSES. THEY WERE GENERALLY BUSINESSES IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THIS RACE THING, I THINK BOTH PARTIES ARE RACE BAITING AND A HORRIBLE WAY. KAMALA HARRIS USES IT AS A UTENSIL AURA MAGNET WHICH SHE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE LEGITIMATE CLAIM TO. DONALD TRUMP USES IT AS A DIVISIVE THING. I WAS A DEMOCRAT OUT OF HABIT. LIKE MOST BLACK PEOPLE MY GRANDPARENTS FINALLY GOT IN 1964 THE VOTE, THEY WENT DEMOCRAT. EVEN THOUGH MY HISTORY LESSONS TAUGHT ME THE WIG PARTY WAS THE PARTY OF SLAVES. I WENT PAST THAT IS A LEARNED THINGS. NOW WE ARE AT A STAGE. AS FAR AS IMMIGRATION, SHE FAILED. LET'S FACE IT. NOT ONLY HER. SHE FAILED MISERABLY BECAUSE SHE NEVER WINS. TRUMP HAD A DRACONIAN POLICY BUT IT WAS AT LEAST EFFECTIVE. FOR THE LADY THAT THINKS EVERYBODY IS COMING FROM SOUTH AMERICA, NO. LOOK AT THE WATCHLIST. THERE WERE OVER 3000 ENCOUNTERS WITH PEOPLE FROM CHINA, THE MIDDLE EAST. SOME OF THEM THEY ARRESTED AND THEN RE-RELEASED. THESE OTHER PROBLEMS I THINK OUR COUNTRY IS FACING. THESE ARE THE ISSUES. NOT PERSONALITY ATTACKS. BOTH PARTIES ARE ACTUALLY LOST ON THE ISSUES. I'M STUCK. THANK YOU. RICHARD HOST: -- HOST: RICHARD, REPUBLICAN. GOOD MORNING. CALLER: THE CALLER FROM NORTH CAROLYN TO MAKE MORE SENSE THAN PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY -- NORTH CAROLINA MAKES MORE SENSE AND PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY I'VE LISTENED TO TODAY. I WONDER WHY DEMOCRATS -- I HAVE FAMILY THAT ARE DEMOCRATS. I'M REPUBLICAN. THE ONLY REASON I'M REPUBLICAN, I WAS IN THE NAVY FOR 25 YEARS. IF YOU VOTE DEMOCRAT YOU DON'T GET NO PAY. IF YOU VOTE REPUBLICANS, YOU GET PAID. I WASN'T MAKING THE MONEY ANYWAY. I MADE LIKE $70,000 A YEAR. HOST: THAT SOUNDS STRANGEHOST:. SOMEONE CHECKING YOUR PARTY AFFILIATION? WHAT DO YOU MEAN TO GET PAID IF YOU'RE A REPUBLICAN AND YOU DON'T GET PAID IF YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT -- DEMOCRAT? HOST: THE REPUBLICANS CUT THE MILITARY DOWN TO NOTHING. THERE IS NO MONEY FOR US TO GET A RAISE. HOST: YOU ARE SAYING LAWMAKERS CUT THE BUDGET? THE DEFENSE BUDGET? GOT IT. WHEN REPUBLICANS ARE IN THERE I GET MORE MONEY PER MONTH. YOU UNDERSTAND? THAT AIN'T MY CALL. MY CALL IS ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS AND THIS CLOWN. WE -- KAMALA HARRIS, SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LEARN IN THIS COUNTRY. SHE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD EVER TEACH ME THIS. I KNOW NOW THAT WITH THE MONEY WE SPEND WITH THE ILLEGAL ALIENS AND ALL THAT GOING ON WE COULD HAVE -- WE COULD HAVE PUT EVERYBODY ON THE STREETS IN THIS COUNTRY IN A HOUSE. THAT'S ALL I GOT. HOST: WE GOT THIS ON TEXT FROM DAN IN FLORIDA. "HE CHANGED THE MINNESOTA FLAG TO AN ISLAMIC FLAG. NOT GOOD." WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THAT CLAIM. WE LOOKED IT UP. HERE IS WHAT WE FOUND. THIS IS SNOPES. HERE IS THE CLAIM, THAT GOVERNOR TIM WALZ CHANGED THE STATE FLAG OF MINNESOTA TO CLOSELY RESEMBLE THE NATIONAL FLAG OF SOMALIA. THAT IS FALSE. HERE'S THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THAT. MINNESOTA'S OLD FLAG CENTERED THE STATE SEAL WHICH FEATURED A WHITE SETTLER TELLING LAND AND AN INDIGENOUS MAN ON HORSEBACK ON A BLUE BACKGROUND. INDIGENOUS MINNESOTANS, INCLUDING THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR PEGGY FLANAGAN SAID THE SEAL AND STATE FLAG WERE INSULTING TO THEIR HERITAGE AND ATTEMPTED TO ERASE THE HISTORICAL RECORD OF SETTLOR INFLICTED VIOLENCE AGAINST NATIVE AMERICAN GROUPS. MEANWHILE, OTHERS NOTED THE OLD FLAG BROKE SEVERAL PRINCIPLES OF GOOD FLAG DESIGN. ANYWAY, IN 2023, THE LEGISLATURE CREATED A COMMISSION TO REDESIGN THE STATE FLAG AND SEAL. ACCORDING TO MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO, IT TOOK 10 ATTEMPTS IN THE LEGISLATURE TO PASS A BILL CALLING FOR A NEW FLAG AND A NEW SEAL. WALZ SIGNED THE BILL INTO LAW. THAT WAS THE ONLY PARTY PLAYED IN CREATING THE NEW FLAG. THE COMMISSION RECEIVED MORE THAN 2500 REDESIGN PROPOSALS BEFORE CHOOSING ITS TOP SIX DESIGNS, THEN WHITTLING IT DOWN TO THREE BEFORE FINALLY MAKING THE SELECTION. THE DESIGN FEATURED THREE HORIZONTAL STRIPES OF WHITE, GREEN AND LIGHT BLUE WITH A NAVY BLUE STYLIZED OUTLINE OF MINNESOTA SHAPE ON THE LEFT SIDE AND AN EIGHT POINTED STAR, NOT TO THE STATE'S MOTTO, THE STAR THE NORTH CENTERED IN THE OUTLINE. THAT IS THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MINNESOTA STATE FLAG. DAN IN GEORGETOWN, MASSACHUSETTS. INDEPENDENT. CALLER: THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON. I THINK WE ARE PRETTY CORRECT IN SAYING THESE TWO ANOINTED PEOPLE , ONE, KAMALA, WHO THROUGH THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS GOT HANDED THE TORCH. SHE CHOSE GOVERNOR WALZ. THE BIG PROBLEM HERE IS USUALLY TO GET CHOSEN FOR THESE POSITIONS YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. YOU HAVE TO DO A FAVOR OR SOMETHING. DURING THE SUMMER OF LOVE WHEN KAMALA HARRIS SUPPORTED VIOLENCE AND TIM WALZ SUPPORTED THE VIOLENCE, NOT ONLY DID HE SUPPORT THE VIOLENCE, HE DID NOT ENFORCE THE LAW WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING IN HIS STATE. SO MUCH TO THE POINT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS THREATENING TO BRING IN THE NATIONAL GUARD BECAUSE HE WASN'T DOING ANYTHING. THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER OF LOVE HATCHED IN HIS STATE BECAUSE HE DECIDED NOT TO PROSECUTE ANYBODY AND LET THINGS BURN. WE HAVE TWO COMPLETELY RADICAL PEOPLE IN HERE. THE OTHER RADICAL THING HE DOES IS HE SUPPORTS CHILD ABUSE. I DON'T HOW ANYONE ON THIS PLANET CAN SAY THAT CONFUSING CHILDREN ABOUT SEX AND GENDER AND THEN ALLOWING MINORS TO TAKE PHYSICAL ACTIONS TO CHANGE THEIR GENDER OR SEX AS A MINOR, I DO NOT HOW ANYONE CAN GET THERE. HE SIGNED IT AS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TWO EXTREMISTS. THAT WERE NEVER VOTED IN AT ALL. HOST: THIS IS FRANK FROM TEXAS. REPUBLICAN. CALLER: YES MA'AM. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS WALZ GUY, I AGREE WITH THE CALLER THAT JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE. FROM MASSACHUSETTS. I COULD NOT AGREE WITH HIM MORE. THIS WALZ GUY IS ONE SICK GUY. ANYBODY THAT PUT TAMPONS FOR A FOURTH GRADER VOICE, THAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS --BOYS, THAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING. WHEN YOU'RE BORN A MAN, YOU'RE A MAN. WHEN YOU'RE BORN A GIRL, YOU'RE A GIRL. THAT IS THE END OF IT. THAT IS THE WAY THE LORD GOD WANTED. AS FAR AS HARRIS GOES, SHE BELIEVES IN ABORTION RIGHT UP TO THE DAY OF BIRTH. YOU HAD GREAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN, CHRISTIAN WOMEN LIKE CONDOLEEZZA RICE, CANDACE OWENS, TAMIKA HAMILTON. I COULD NAME A LOT OF BLACK MEN THAT ARE CHRISTIAN. BYRON DONALDS. A LOT OF GOOD CHRISTIAN BLACK MEN AND WOMEN. YET THE DEMOCRATS PUT THIS COMMUNIST WOMAN UP THERE THAT WANTS TO ABORT BABIES RIGHT UP TO THE DAY OF BIRTH. AND THIS GUY THAT IS KIND OF A FREAK GUY THAT WANTS SEX CHANGES FOR LITTLE SIXTH-GRADERS AND FOURTH-GRADER TAMPONS. THAT IS JUST SICK. THIS GUY IS UNBELIEVABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO SAY ABOUT IRAN PUT A FORK ON TRUMP. WHY DID THEY PUT OUT A DEATH WART ON BIDEN OR HARRIS? THEY ARE GETTING EVERYTHING THEY WANT FROM BIDEN AND HARRIS. BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THEY LIFTED THE OIL SANCTIONS. TRUMP PUT OIL SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN. THEY COULDN'T DO NOTHING. THEY COULDN'T BUY A CANDY BAR AND A CANDY STORE. SAME WITH RUSSIA. TRUMP AIDE SANCTIONS ON THEM. THEY COULD NOT SELL THEIR OIL. WHAT DID THEY DO? WHEN BIDEN GOT IN, BIDEN LIFTED THE OIL SANCTIONS. THEY GOT BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY COULD SELL THEIR OIL, RUSSIA WAS. SAME WITH IRAN. WHAT DID THEY DO? IRAN STARTS ATTACKING ISRAEL, AND THEY JUST GOT THROUGH ATTACKING OUR BASES OVERSEAS. HURTING AND TRYING TO KILL OUR SOLDIERS. WE HAVE 42 AMERICANS DEAD, MURDERED IN THE GAZA STRIP. AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS WE DON'T SEND NO DELTA PEOPLE, NO SEAL TEAM. ISRAEL IS FIGHTING AND TRYING TO HELP US FIGHT AND GET OUR HOSTAGES BACK. HOSTAGES WE STILL HAVE OVER THERE. BIDEN AND HARRIS -- SHE GOT UP AND CRITICIZED ISRAEL. THEY ARE TRY TO POST THEIR TALES TO GET -- BUS THEIR TALES TO GET OUR HOSTAGES BACK. HOST: I HAVE TO MOVE ON. LET'S LOOK AT A PORTION FROM SENATOR J.D. VANCE TALKING TO REPORTERS ON THE PLANE. [VIDEO] >> HAVE YOU AND GOVERNOR WALZ REACHED OUT TO EACH OTHER? >> ON THE WAY TO THE FLIGHT IN CINCINNATI AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY I CALLED TIM WALZ. I LEFT A VOICEMAIL. I SAY CONGRATULATIONS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO A ROBUST CONVERSATION, ENJOY THE RIDE. MAYBE HE WILL CALL ME BACK OR MAYBE HE WON'T. >> THE GOVERNOR AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS ARE TO THE ON ABOUT A GRAND STATOR. PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE [INDISCERNIBLE] UNTIL FRIDAY AND MONTANA. -- IN MONTANA. >> I'M MAKING APPEARANCES TO DRIVE FROM THE FACT THAT KAMALA HARRIS'S POLICIES HAVE BEEN A FAILURE FOR NORMAL AMERICANS. THE PRESIDENT IS BUSY IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. YOU HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AND SPEAK TO PEOPLE AND REPORTERS. YOU HAVE TO RAISE THE RESOURCES. THE PRESIDENT IS BUSY DOING THAT. WE ARE TAKING A DIVIDE AND CONQUER STRATEGY. SOMETIMES WE DO EVENTS TOGETHER BUT WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE THAT CAN GET OUT THERE AND PROSECUTE A MESSAGE. I WANT TO MAKE ONE FINAL OBSERVATION. I KNOW MOST OF YOU, LIKE ALL OF YOU AS PEOPLE, OR LIKE THE ONES OF YOU I KNOW. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE GOT TO DO A BETTER JOB AT FORCING KAMALA HARRIS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THIS IS A PERSON WHO'S BEEN THE PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE FOR 16 DAYS. SHE HAS NOT TAKEN A SINGLE REAL QUESTION FROM A REPORTER. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO GET TO KNOW THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEAD THEM. I THINK IT IS SHAMEFUL FOR KAMALA HARRIS AND INCREASINGLY FOR THE MEDIA SHE'S TAKING A BASEMENT STRATEGY OF RUNNING FROM REPORTERS AND SAID OF GETTING IN FRONT OF THEM AND ANSWERING TOUGH QUESTIONS ABOUT HER RECORD AND THAT THE MEGAN PEOPLE KNOW WHO SHE IS. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I TAKE HOSTILE QUESTIONS, NONHOSTILE QUESTIONS. WE TALK TO PEOPLE. WE RESPECT THE MEGAN PEOPLE ENOUGH TO WANT TO PERSUADE THEM AND NOT TO TRY TO RUN FROM THEM. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB. THAT'S MY HUMBLE OPINION. HOST: JAMES IN AKRON, OHIO. DEMOCRAT. CALLER: I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY. THAT LAST CALL YOU HAD, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GET THEIR INFORMATION FROM. IT IS PITIFUL TO HEAR THESE GUYS CALL IN AND TALK ABOUT WHAT KIDS ARE ALLOWED TO DO. EVERY STATE IN THE COUNTRY, THESE KIDS CANNOT HAVE THE OPERATIONS, THE SURGERIES OR ANY OF THE STUFF DONE WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE PARENT. ALL THE STUFF THEY TALK IS CRAZY TALK. WHAT I CALLED ABOUT WAS THIS. EVERYTHING WE ARE TAUGHT AS KIDS, HOW TO TREAT OTHERS, HOW TO BE -- DON'T DO THINGS TO OTHERS YOU WOULDN'T WANT DONE TO YOURSELF. ALL THOSE THINGS WE ARE TAUGHT AS KIDS, THAT MAKES YOU A LIBERAL. TO BE A CONSERVATIVE IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE TO HATE EVERYBODY. SOMETHING IS ALWAYS WRONG. WE ARE ALWAYS UP AGAINST SOME ENEMY. JUST LIKE THE BORDER SITUATION. THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NEVER WANTED TO SOLVE THE BORDER CRISIS. AS FAR AS THE BORDER CRISIS IS CONCERNED WITH SO MANY PEOPLE CROSSING THE BORDER, EVEN RIGHT NOW THE LESS PORTABLE -- LAST BORDER BILL THEY LIED AND SET 5000 PEOPLE A DAY. NO. AFTER YOU HAD INTERVIEWED OR RETAINED 5000 PEOPLE, THEY WOULD STOP LETTING PEOPLE CROSS, PERIOD. THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY MORE CANDIDATES. THERE'S NO 5000 PEOPLE GETTING IN A DAY. THEY KNOW IT IS NOT IN THERE BECAUSE THEIR GUIDE WITH THE BUILT. ONE LIE AFTER ANOTHER. I'M TIRED OF HEARING THE CONSTANT LYING AND BADGERING ABOUT PEOPLE FOR THE VERY THING THEY TAUGHT US FROM K-12 GRADE THAT WAS OK. AFTER THAT, YOU HAVE TO HATE PEOPLE AND BE NASTY TOWARDS EVERYBODY JUST TO BE A REPUBLICAN. LOOK AT THE CALLERS THAT CALL IN. THE THINGS WE WERE TAUGHT AS KID, BOO THE DEMOCRATS. HOW TO GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE THAT WAS DEMOCRAT. TO FEED THE POOR, HELP THE HOMELESS. THOSE ARE ALL DEMOCRATS. REPUBLICANS TURNED 18 OR 21 AND THEY THINK YOU HAVE TO BE HATEFUL TO BE AN ADULT. THAT IS THE MOST INSANE THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. HOST: LET'S GO TO STEVE IN INDIANA. DEMOCRAT. CALLER: GOOD MORNINGCALLER:. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL IN. I WATCHED KAMALA HARRIS LAST NIGHT WITH TIM WALZ, INTRODUCING HIM AS THE NEW RUNNING MATE FOR HER. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THE WORD TO DESCRIBE THIS IS JUBILANCE. PEOPLE DO NOT FORGET IT. THE WORD IS JUBILANCE. LET'S KEEP IT ALIVE. WE HAVE 90 MORE DAYS TO BEAT DONALD TRUMP AND POSSIBLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO MAKE HIM PAY FOR THE CRIMES HE HAS COMMITTED. WELL ENOUGH ON THAT. PEOPLE NEED TO STEP BACK AND REALIZE IF YOU ARE NOT INDIGENOUS, IF YOU ARE NOT TRAPPED ON A SWAMP OF LAND THAT THE GOVERNMENT IMPRISONED YOU WANT, YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN. YOU ARE AN IMMIGRANT. MY GRANDFATHER WAS AN IMMIGRANT FROM SICILY IN 1924. I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT MAN CAME THROUGH MONTREALERS, CANADA, AND WAS A WHOP. A VERY DEROGATORY TERM WITHOUT PAPERS. NOW. ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING FROM VENEZUELA, CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, THEY ARE FLEEING MURDEROUS DICTATOR STATES. JUST LIKE MUSSOLINI WAS RUNNING AT THE END OF WORLD WAR I. INTO WORLD WAR II. WE CANNOT SUFFER THESE ATROCITIES AGAIN. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE AMERICA, DO NOT LET DONALD TRUMP NEAR T WHITE HOUSE. THE SITUATIONS WITH GEORGE FLOYD, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE. HE DID NOTHING FOR RACIAL INJUSTICE. HE LET POLICE GO WILD AND MURDER CITIZENS IN THE STREETS. GUN VIOLENCE. YOU HAVE UVALDE, THE SHOOTING IN LAS VEGAS, ALL UNDER DONALD TRUMP. THE HATE THAT THIS MAN BRINGS IS IMMEASURABLE. AMERICA, STOP IT NOW. JUBILANCE. HOST: THIS IS TONY IN SUGARLAND, TEXAS. "THE NEWSWEEK ARTICLE ON WALZ TITLED "ABANDONING HIS UNIT WHEN HIS UNIT WAS ABOUT TO BE DEPLOYED," WHAT LEADERSHIP." THE NEW YORK POST HAS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. " TIM WALZ LEFT THE NATIONAL GUARD BATTALION HANGING, SLITHERED OUT THE DOUGH BEFORE A REACTIVE LIMIT, ACCORDING TO THAT'S -- THE DOOR BEFORE IRAQ DEPLOYMENT." VETERANS ACCUSED HIM OF EMBELLISHING HIS MILITARY CAREER, HIGHLIGHTING THE VICE PRESIDENT TO PICK NEVER SERVED IN COMBAT AND RETIRED FROM SERVICE AHEAD OF HIS UNIT'S 2005 DEPLOYMENT TO IRAQ." JAMES, CALIFORNIA, REPUBLICAN. CALLER: I AM RETIRED U.S. NAVY. I'M AFRICAN-AMERICAN. MY QUESTION IS WILL YOU TURN THIS COUNTRY OVER TO KAMALA HARRIS? SHE'S PULLING AT 39% WITH MEN. TIM WALZ. I HEARD NOTHING FROM HIM THAT WOULD MAKE YOU WANT TO GO FOR KAMALA HARRIS. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE WITH THE ECONOMY. I HAD TO PAY SEVEN DOLLARS A GALLON FOR GAS IN CALIFORNIA A COUPLE OF TIMES. WHEN TRUMP WAS IN OFFICE I SPENT THREE DOLLARS A GALLON. AMERICA, DO THE HOST: JACKIE IN HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA, DEMOCRAT. CALLER: GOOD MORNING. HOST: GOOD MORNING. CALLER: I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THE ELECTION. HOST: YOUR LYING IS BREAKING UP. IF YOU DON'T MIND JUST TRYING TO CALL IN ON A BETTER LINE. LOU IN HENDERSON, NEVADA. CALLER: THINK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. YOU PUT UP WITH A LOT ON THE MORNINGS I LISTEN TO YOU. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THE BORDER IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE 2.2 BILLION PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN DROUGHT. WE JUST TO SEE PEOPLE INVADING OUR COUNTRY. SOUTH AFRICA HAS BEEN IN A DROUGHT FOR SO LONG. AS FAR AS THE CHOICE OF A VICE PRESIDENT, I THINK IT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO NAME SOMEONE WHO IS APPARENTLY SUCH A CRIMINAL ACCORDING TO THE OTHER TEAM. THE VITRIOL THAT IS GOING ON BOTH SIDES IS NOT HELPING ANYONE. AS RODNEY KING PUT IT, "CAN'T WE JUST GET ALONG. HELP -- AND WE JUST GET ALONG?" HOST: WHO ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR? CALLER: I HAVE TO VOTE FOR HARRIS. MY PARENTS GREW UP UNDER COOLIDGE AND WILSON AND THEN OF THE SEVEN ROOSEVELT WAS THERE PRESIDENT FOR 12 YEARS. THEY GREW UP UNDER FDR'S WHOLE THING. AND THEN THE ONLY CHOICE IN LOS ANGELES WAS WHITE, WHITE. EVERYTHING WE SAW HAPPEN IN CALIFORNIA FROM DAY ONE WAS RACISM AND HORRIBLE SCHOOLS IN THE CITIES AND VOTING AGAINST BLACK AND I SAW THE DESTRUCTION IN LOS ANGELES WHERE PEOPLE LIKE HATTIE MCDANIEL HAD ROOMS BECAUSE THEY WERE ABANDONED. EVERYTHING WAS OBLITERATED. HOST: WE HAVE RUN OUT OF TIME. UP NEXT WE WILL HAVE NATIONAL REVIEW EDITOR IN CHIEF RICH LOWRY, WHO WILL TALK ABOUT VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS SELECTING MINNESOTA GOV. TIM WALZ AS HER RUNNING MATE. AND WE WILL TALK ABOUT
