>> upload your logo or start your design today had custom make.com laura coates live tonight at 11 eastern on cnn this is cnn breaking news welcome to the lead. >> i'm jake tapper live at temple university in north philly and just bowman let's vice president kamala harris is going to take the stage for the very first time with the banshees just selected to be her running mate. the pick has minnesota governor tim walz, a former high school teacher in paul coach who served 24 years, and the army national guard before being elected to the house of representatives six times choosing governor walz highlights so much the harris campaign is focusing on the blue wall states of the midwest, which sent biden to the white house. sources also say harris felt walz would be a trustworthy partner and both campaigning and governing. so why did the harris campaign

pick pennsylvania and specifically philadelphia for its very first joint event because not only do harris and walz need to win the commonwealth of pennsylvania, they need to drive up the vote, both here in philly and in the surrounding suburbs and overlooking the popular governor of pennsylvania as a running mate is something of a calculated risk for the campaign. let's get right to cnn's. as soon as mj lee, who's here in filling up to the crowd is pumped what are voters telling you there? >> there's no question, jake, that there is really newsy asm in this arena. i'm sure you've sent that to all took a little walk around to talk to the folks that are in this room and there were a couple of things that really stood out to me, jake for one, the birders in this arena very much really brutally, the kamala harris represents something new and something different. >> this has to do with her age. it has to do with that she is a woman. it also has to do with her race. one woman i was talking to actually started tearing up because they said they were thinking about the

possibility of there being a future by rachael president because she herself has vibrational grandchildren. the other thing i noticed and i don't think this is surprising at all. a lot of people don't have a great wall but they are starting to get read in their starting to see those videos circulating on social media. they're using words like he seems nice, he seems funny as they're starting to just get to know the vice presidential running may and also every single person. interestingly that i spoke to jake said that they weren't supportive of president's president biden's decision to get out of the 2024 race as much as they all did support his presidency. now, when harrison i'll take the stage together, we certainly expect that the vice president is going to take the opportunity to explain to this crowd why she decided to choose him. we will see what kind of chemistry they have together and we will see the ways in which tim walz we'll try to compliment kamala harris on the ticket by leaning into his biography. we expect that he going to talk about his

nebraska roots of minnesota values and what is clear all of our reporting right now, jake, there are many reasons for which was really impressed kamala harris and the bidding team, we're told, for example he sources familiar that at one point in the vetting teams interview, when the minnesota governor was asked the question of how he sees the role of the vice president. he said it is whatever she would like it to be that essentially he would be happy to do whatever she thinks is necessary. and then another point when he was whether he has aspirations himself to run for president, that he said no different approach seems to have been taken by josh shapiro, the other contender, of course, we are told that he actually brought in a lot of questions himself about what the role of the vice presidency would be under a kamala harris presidency. but jake just looking around the room, you can't help but think about the fact that for so many years joe biden and the advisers around him had said it had to be him running in 2024, that he had to

be at the top of the ticket. of course i'm 16 days, 15 very fast date we have seen are kamala harris sort of proved the president wrong. and so that there can be somebody else at the top of the democratic ticket, jake all right. >> mj lee. thank you so much right now on the stage senator bob casey is speaking. he is up for reelection. let's bring in cherelle parker, the mayor of this great city of philadelphia, the first woman to hold that title. and i've interviewed you a couple of times but this is the first time i've ever seen you in person congratulations on the trail blazing when for all the little girls of philadelphia, that's it's great to have a female mayor. let me ask you, what do you think of the pick a listen. >> i am super excited to be here the energy is palpable people but excited about the harris walks ticket. we are about to make history and assured that kamala harris becomes the 47th president of the united states. and that governor tim walz becomes our

vice president. and i'm super excited. you have to feel the energy to be able to understand this moment. >> but i don't it's a to bring up any moments that were uncomfortable, but obviously, you were pulling for your hometown boy, josh shapiro, the governor unapologetic about that jake. now jake, you have to know me. i'm a philadelphia girl through and through. you are a philadelphia guy eagles? the flyers, the phillies, the sixers, ever having an opportunity to be in the finals, i am going to make sure i'm rooting for the home team and i was proud to support my good friend and former colleague pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. he and i are looking forward to working with senator casey alone. with senator fetterman and all of our stakeholders across the state, state party, local party, to elect the harris walks ticket to the white house. and we're going to be working very hard to send them there.

>> no, no, no crime and rooting for the home team. although i really do wish you maybe could do something by consent decree about the phillies right now? now the slump that there is very painful to watch it. jake watch what murdering for them. >> but let me ask you, this. does make winning pennsylvania that much tougher for kamala harris, right? i mean, it's it's it's going to be a dog no matter what, but not having shapiro on the tickets i'm not going to make it easier. >> this is fill it up. good, jake. and you know, we don't take anything for granted. and by saying that this is going to be even more tough, you're assuming that we won't be united in the commonwealth of pennsylvania, you hurt me and my remarks. we won't let anyone take our eyes off the prize our north star or it's simple and plain. we want to elect kamala harris as president and governor. tim walz as vice president, and we won't let anybody throw shade on our harris wants shot. >> we're going to knock on doors, phone, bank, host debate

parties. >> you want to know one of the hardest questions for me? he coming in here, what what's going to happen when our democratic nominee debates that guy, i said she's going where his behind out, and they said, well, what about what about what about the vice presidential candidate j.d. vance? ain't got a chance against gun have been a wall to where we're excited about this competition because we're on the right side of the history where there's inclusion and we welcome people from all walks of life, no matter your race class socioeconomic status, zip code, your religion, sexual orientation, or identity. that's who democrats are, theirs see that our table, and we're going out to earn every vote to make it happen. >> do you think tim walz as he is a hunter, is a sportsman? he is a fisherman i know that pennsylvania is a big state and big commonwealth. >> it's rural. you have a lot of hunters here, a lot of

fischer fishermen here. i did vacation if few years ago up at lake wall and pop pack in northeastern pennsylvania can tim walz play with those folks? do you think anyone who says that governor walz doesn't have appeal? in pennsylvania doesn't know pennsylvania pennsylvania is field with extremely proud folks who are from urban, rural, and suburban pennsylvania. and so those midwestern roots okay, that the governor brings to the table his i'm his affection for even hunting gives him the ability to speak to pennsylvanians who are in the middle of the state to know that, you know, he understands. but one of the things i do love about him is that he's an unapologetic yannick democrat. and while we may not agree and i've heard him mentioned, you may not agree with someone all the time on everything. he stands firm

for what he believes and jake, if there's one thing i want the american people philadelphians and pennsylvania's to know about me. when i give my word when i say you have my support, when i fight for issue that i believe in, i won't fly in the middle of pressure. i'm going to stand firm so i remember when when when hillary clinton lost pennsylvania in 2016, and her turnout, her supported in philly. >> i mean, it's always disproportionately democratic, but there were awards that donald trump picked up in parts of philadelphia and in order to win pennsylvania i don't know. i don't need to tell you kamala harris and tim walz are going to need to have like 95% support or 90% support. and philly and the collar counties, montgomery county, chester county, bucks county, delaware county. it needs to be up up this. we are one philly and one region united for kamala harris

and governor walz. and that's why you heard me referenced are collar counties here, but chesa, delaware, and matko and we're all going to lock arms and do what we need to do to motivate our base to get engaged in, come out and vote. you want me to tell you why? because we all understand that freedom this is not free, okay. and if we care about protecting democracy that was born right here, 248 years ago, a few blocks from here at independence hall, we will make sure that we are working together. and i do also have to say this governor josh shapiro, i've worked with him for many, many years he is a consummate professional and we know he knows and all of us are going to come together to ensure that we defeat donald shapiro's breaking at this rally? yes, i believe you're going to hear from him soon. >> okay. all right. well, what an honor to sit with my mayor here about mayor of philadelphia, cherelle parker. thank you so much. let me bring in james carville, who led the

bill clinton campaign to victory in 1992 is presidential race. a first of all, but what do you think of the pick governor walz well, i'm going to do something. >> you danced around him, but i'm gonna go right to it. i think paramount. never mine was the male vote. i noticed 00 qur'an npr crowd is going to faint that someone mentioned the male vote, but it isn't morning. a calm harrison and the guy just pointed out, he's an enlisted a combat veteran of the army. he's a football coach. he's a hotter, he's a fissure i think just a good signal and i'm very excited about it and how we need to improve our number of unveils. and i say to people who get mad at me, but it's just the fact. and i think he can help in that area. >> and he has a very interesting they're seeing flight stories. and i think the more people know by the betting unlikely so obviously. >> he's very progressive. he also at the same time, he's very progressive, is a hunter he's a fisherman. i heard

somebody jokingly describe him as an rei higher instead of dei hire. that's a reference of course to the sport and goods store. >> will that matter to people care about that two hunter's and fishermen care more about if somebody has those hobbies as opposed to so what they're policies are what we're he's a football coach at ran a four foot deep back ea in the national guard. he's a combat veteran he's a parent. he's lot of other things too. and he's also been a highly effective and highly popular governor in a purple state. so i think there's a lot to speak, boy and i am very i love governor shapiro. it was kind of secretly kind of pulling for him, but part of life and politics, there's disappointment and do cost some scores will be settled, but this is not the time for it. let's get beyond november do

you think that as republicans and some commentators, 60 have suggested not picking shapiro, was hair, was kamala harris bowing to the left? >> who are the people who wouldn't tolerate a more, are more centrist candidate, or even perhaps wouldn't tolerate a jewish candidate i don't know how joe lieberman here. you're not sure oh, so young, you couldn't remember 2000? i don't think joe lieberman cost. i saw 5,000 votes. the ruling is but i spent harris i'm going to be jewish if somebody can confirm that, atlanta to fact check, maybe david day or somebody like that so i think all of this is park is frankly it doesn't add up for me. we got our pick the vice president made i choice of your got to e8 number. oh, boy. and i'm ready to fall in line with what our future commander in chief not sergeant box. that's go grab out peace and

off the hill what are what, what do you recommend that harris and walz do? there's less than 100 days? to go. >> still at this at this moment, i think that you would give the edge to trump just because it's a change election. and he has been leading in the polls. harrison just a new candidate. she still hasn't done an interview. she still hasn't done a press conference. who knows what's going to happen? what would you recommend that the democratic ticket do perfect not called trump a tank scanner day. >> he's a back was kennedy we're not talking about for years from now. he wants to talk about four years ago. and i think that's a pretty simple dying an amoc on our part. >> and i would i would like to see him come down talk on the side of consumers, come down, tough phone, corporate price fixing and price gouging i think this would be something that would be eminently beneficial. and let's get to convention behind us. so trump,

i don't think trump wants to debate j.d. vance. don't want to get within 50 miles of governor walz. i can tell you to act, and so we got lots of football left to play here. and i'm excited i've taught a bank my helmet against a locker and let's go out and play some ball. we were ready with jake. we're really aren't layer of philadelphia. i don't know her. >> she's full he's on fire yes, it was fine. she was found james carville. thank you so much let's bring back the panel and they are rallying here in philly so we do here in philadelphia abby, the philadelphia mayor, cherelle parker, told me she fully backs the wall stick up, but she was in her in her language unapologetically pro shapiro wanted to appear on the ticket, but obviously with the problem program now. >> yeah. i mean, as she's going to be i mean, this is her home. say this is shapiro's home. sat and we talked about earlier, he is so popular.

there not a whole lot of parallels to the level of popularity that he has which actually honestly might be the reason that he's not on the ticket. i mean, at the presidential level of all, the main job of the vice president on the ticket, right? is to be the person blocking and tackling day after day for the person at the top of the ticket and that's the main that's the main goal that person themselves does not need to be a star. they just need to be nimble. they need to be good on television, which walz was they need to be comfortable with the principal and i think that's that's where we are here with the situation, ensuring point of view, the old metrics is you have to bring his state let's bring a demographic. maybe what he brings as a message maybe being the most effective retail politician and messenger is something that's actually come lamented to her skill. she didn't prove to have in 2019 and maybe she felt like she could use it now, i only argument is that you would have to go all the way back to 1960 see to find a vp who brought a

state. and so it's really that's what i mean very focused on it, but he he's an effect dubbed for that her says a liberal and yes, maybe a moment where they're not talking about shying away from being liberals, but being a more effective defense and proactive offense of that ideology they needed more and making sure that they shored up. there more progressive base. the excitement among young voters that we've seen explodes since harris got nominated i think the question is, i was talking to one democrat today who did point to some of kamala harris is weaknesses as a candidate that we have not seen these 90 days. this may be the easiest way for her to ever i become president united states, right? because it's so fast but she's going to have tough moments right? it has been a high so far. she you got a question this person was arguing to me that josh shapiro

is a very strong candidate and that he fulfills potentially some of those weaknesses that she is displayed may also have ways in which he compliments kamala harris. we don't know yet. i'm just saying this is what somebody was arguing to me because this is about to get tough. it's going to be tougher than it's been right? i mean, look, up until this moment, the last three weeks for vice president harris have been all about the base. it's been all about showing her strength and solidifying the base that was necessary, but not sufficient. the rest of this race is going to be thought in the middle of this country independent voters. it's gonna be about 100,000 people in this country who are going to decide hi, this thing. and we honestly, we have not even seen them begin to have that conversation yet. so from this point forward, that's what the conversation is going to be about, not that's about whether democrats love her and how much everyone stick around. vice president kamala harris is

in philly. she is set to speak here at this rally, and just a few minutes, it will be her bear very first campaign event with her brand new running mate, minnesota governor tim walz. keep it here. we're going to squeeze in a quick break. we'll be right back sunday on the whole story donie o'sullivan dives back into the world of misinformation. no computers that are used in our election she have software that was illegal, will miss information cause chaos in november's election the whole story with anderson cooper, sunday at 8:00 on cnn. >> sure. this supreme prince business cards. but we also print these and those and a grave that we print your brand on everything. >> so customers can notice you remember you've even fall in love with you if you need it, we print it with 25%, offer new customers at misprint duck when the saw dust settles and the engine roars, the thing you care about is the job well done. >> but when you get your tools from harbor freight, something about the job feels different.

since the announcement of walz earlier today. let's discuss with the panel and kasie, i will say this is a lot more excitement then i've seen the democrats have since obama, i got to say like this transcends the excitement the last several election cycles. >> yeah, well, i will say, hey, the last time i was in this arena actually was a bernie sanders rally, which felt like this. but i also covered hillary clinton in that same campaign, of the nominee correct? >> right. correction. i meant of the nominee last time i was walking into events for a democratic candidate where the place went up. it was bernie sanders and that was not present for hillary clinton. and it hasn't been present for joe biden. and that is kind of the fundamental difference here. i mean, it is what has changed this race in a fundamental way. it is a totally new race. and that is on display here. i'm in the

lions coming in were like around the block. i'm sure there's a lot of people here that couldn't actually get in i mean, i remember covering hillary clinton's campaign in 2016 and saying on here at the time, it didn't feel like covering a winning campaign in the final days. this is an incredibly close election it's instill in many ways, donald trump's race to lose, right? kamala harris has a hill to climb, right now, but it's just got a completely different feeling than anything else i've felt from a demo macron icc nominee in eight years but definitely there is. i understand the negative of doubling down on progressivism by picking tim walz and that's what, that's what republican since are saying and some more conservative or moderate democrats are saying that this is a lost opportunity to appeal to suburban voters, centrist voters, et cetera. but i will say bernie sanders wanted kamala harris to pick governor walz and i'm not saying that that whatever bernie has transfers but there is an

excitement here that again, i haven't felt since 2012 at a democratic nominees rally, i think that's right. >> and i think especially look, there's going to be erased to define harris it's an walls. but walz does speak to a constituency that he can, he is capable and look at that kathy was wearing in the call that he took from kamala harris, kind of the way he was dressed the camouflage cap, right? like the stuff that's percolating online like this is a guy that has some appeal to a constituency that frankly democrats have struggled to appeal to lately, yeah, i mean, look, i think bernie sanders has made it clear who he wanted, but joe manchin loved the walls, pick, i mean, joe manchin couldn't even walk into this room. probably because a lot of progressives don't want to see or hear from him. but he loves tim walz peck. so right now because here is the gummer, the governor of the great commonwealth of pennsylvania, josh shapiro. he is here he got the news earlier

today that he was not the pick that governor tim walz was the fec and he is here in his hometown the philadelphia is from right outside the suburbs. i believe i believe he's from malcolm spark. but in any case here he is. and let's listen to him not a lot of time between getting the message that he's not that back and having to give a big speech i've kind of it's kind of a challenge for any candidate to do that but here he is. let's listen in

love you you know what else i love i love being your governor. >> thank you very much you feel my heart i love you so much i don't want you to know every single day. i go to work for you i'll put my shoulder to the wheel and i focus on three simple letters in g d i focus on getting done for all of you

hi and i want you to know i am going to kill you to pour my heart and soul in the serving you every single day as your governor and i'm gonna be working my tail off to make sure we make kamala harris tim walz their next leaders of the united states of america. let

me tell you let me tell you about my friend well, here's someone i've been friends with for two decades she is courtroom tough she has a big heart and she is battle tested and ready to go whether in a court room whether funding as attorney general whether remembering the people who have oftentimes been left behind when she was sitting in the halls of power in the senate kamala harris has always understood thank you got to be every day for the people, for the people she had served with

honesty she had served with dignity, and every step of the way. she's broken barriers to serve all of us now now clearly, hear me on this that hell of a stark contrast. from the guy running on the other side you all know who i'm talking about, i guess you see we remember here in philly what it was like when donald trump was our president we remember when he was president it was more chaos fewer jobs and less freedom you see philly i know

y'all. we walked around a little bit of a chip on our shoulder because we remember right we remember that it was donald trump that ripped where's the freedom of ions of american women to make decisions over their own body we remember that we remember that we're not gone back we are not here's the thing we don't want to go back was, the well, let's go back for a second and just remember let's just remember because i think there's some folks out there. >> it still have a little bit of brain fog remembering. having a hard time remembering what it was like now, listen he

brought all that chaos and limited our freedoms back when he was president. and let's be honest, didn't know what the hell he was doing but this is a serious gang. he knows what he's doing now. he does the supreme court that he packed the supreme court that he has passed he has ruled that he is above the law he is outside of the law and now he's got a clear plan. they all wrote it down in that hole project 2025 thing and they got to put clear plan to take way more of our freedoms they got a clear plan to use the justice department to go against our enemies. they

got to clear a plan to isolate us in the world. and let me tell you something. i ain't going back. i am not felon i'm do you wanna go back we are not going back. we're not going back not all we are. we not gone back. >> we're not going into the future with donald trump, not going in the future with him. >> a guy who has made clear, he's told us what he wants to do more chaos, less freedom, and you friends who was maya angelou who said it when they tell you who they are? i

believe them and i don't want to see that and donald trump well, he's now got a partner with him. you see that guy? >> yeah j.d. >> vance, he's he's not exactly off to a good start. i think we can all agree on well i think part of the reason why he's not off to a good start is this and it's serious you don't know who he is and he's not being honest with himself. so he can't be honest with the american people now if i hear you right and i think god due

sure, chanting he's a weirdo man i love you filling if you're chance. >> he's a weirdo. then you heard of my good friend and our next vice president, tim in his beautiful midwestern plain spoken way he summed up j.d. vance, the best. he's a weirdo and i want to talk i want to talk about tim walz fairly in a minute. he's going to come out here and i want you to give him a whole lot of love tim walz is a great man. tim walz is an outstanding governor. tim walz

a teacher. tim walz guardsman tim walz hey, great patriot and i'll tell you what i'll tell you what else. >> tim walz is a dear friend and i want you to know lori and i feel blessed to have tim and gwen in our lives. they are outstanding public servants. and i can't wait for you philly, the rest of this commonwealth and our entire country to get the chance to know the walz is, then that's vice president and second lady of this nation. i think that is

any of these special the kamala harris and tim walz have chosen to launch their campaign right here in philadelphia, in this city of brotherly love and launch their campaign right here in the birthplace of real freedom the other side trump and his sycophants. >> let me tell you something. they love to talk a good game about freedom, right they loved her cloak themselves in the blank freedom all the time. they love to talk a good game, but hear me on this it's not freedom to tell our children what books their allowed to read. that's not freedom it's

not it's not a freedom that say, you can go to work, but you can join a union that's not freedom it's not freedom to tell women what to do with their bodies that's not free no, it won't be that way when kamala harris, he's our president and it sure as hell isn't freedom to, say you can go vote. but he's going to pick the winner that is not freedom that's, not what patriots have fought for over the years. >> it is not, you know, what we

are for, you know, what kamala harris and tim walz, her for, they are for real freedom the, counter real freedom that comes when we looked at young girl in north philly in the eye and we invest in her public school because we believe in we believe in real freedom that kind of freedom that comes when we invest in our police and win best in our communities because we believe that young girls should walk to and from school safely and back to her mama at the end of the night we believe in real freedom, whether young girl you grow up and be whatever she wants, she can be a welder. >> she can go to college. she can be who she is. that is real freedom, and that is what we are fighting we believe in the

kind of real freedom where she grows up in a community where she can breathe clean air, and drink clean water and know that she will need david the environment to the next generation that is great for her kids and her grandkids kamala harris and tim walz believe in a real freedom. where are you? can marry who you love prieto freedom is on the ballot and are fundamental freedoms are at risk and i know, i know when it's at risk, it's easy to feel uneasy and. >> it's easy to get down but

let me tell you something. philly. let me tell you some pennsylvania let me tell you some america. i am more optimistic than ever before. and the reason the reason i'm more optimistic mystik than ever before is because of all of you and because of what a band of patriots started here in our taverns and our town squares and an independence hall just a couple of miles from here, nearly two-and-a-half centuries so ago you see they came together they came together two declare our independence from a king. and we're not going back to a king

we're not going back and when they declared that independence from the qing, they came together and they said, we are going to form a union and over the last 248 years the reason why i'm optimistic. >> the reason why i'm hopeful is because as we've written this american story over the last two-and-a-half centuries it's been the ordinary americans taking up the baton from those patriots and saying we're going to do extraordinary things octavius cattle understood that responsibility cecil b. moore understood that responsibility

gen z, when they're organized and on tiktok understand that responsibility and i'm optimistic dig today because the task of perfecting our union, that task of defending our fundamental freedoms it now falls to all of you to freedom loving americans all across this great country. and to the good people of the commonwealth of pennsylvania who will decide this next election. and the understand, are you responsibility i love you too, and this is a moment where? are we all have to understand that while we'll see you, kamala harris in tim walz, his names on the ballot. that this election isn't just about their names on this ballot.

this election is about all of you and whether or not you're willing to do this hard work to fight for our freedom, whether or not you're willing to do this hard work that started here, 240 he years ago i want to just say this i lean on my family and i lean on my faith, which caused me to serve and i am proud of my faith now now, hear me. i'm not here to preach your job, but i wanted to tell you what my faith teaches me my faith teaches me

that no one no one is required to complete the task, but neither are we free to refrain from it? >> that means that means that each of us has a responsibility to get off the sidelines to get in the game, and to do our part are you ready to do your part? are you ready to form a more perfect union are you ready to build an america where no matter so what you look like, where are you come from, who you love or who you played you, that this will be a place for you are you ready to that next president of the united states madam president i am. so let's get to work that's love, anya,

josh shapiro giving a rousing things speech, extolling the virtues of the democratic party of the presumptive democratic presidential, not commonly nominee kamala harris and really just in a few sieve list of reasons why in his words minnesota governor tim walz is a patriot of good man, a great governor. >> really quite, quite a speech reminds me of what a lot of people were saying, honestly going into the 2020 election, which is that the democrats have a pretty deep bench and now josh shapiro, not on the ticket he's on the bench and he's going to be doing that all around the country. >> gretchen whitmer it is going to be doing that all across the country. that's going to be

very, very important. gordon, i think you saw here in this room what a good surrogate can do when they're able to really lift up a crowd like this. and it's not all riding on just one person at the top of the ticket. that's going to be very, very crucial for them. the democrats going forward. >> so did so many years where basically democrats have been reactive, right there constantly reacting to the linguistic kind of twists of rubble publican party. and now you have a bench of people, walz shapiro others who are able to make a affirmative arguments for being liberal, been progressive, and sell that at vision without apology what we saw from shapiro there, that was why he was almost the vice president on the ticket, right why he's not be why he is not on the ticket. i mean, he is incredibly talented. that was very much on display here. he does evoke another candidate, the last nominee you say democrats are really excited

about jake in the way he talks. mean you can hear kind of the way he is clearly studied. barack obama and the way barack obama presents in these kinds of environments. but i you know, this really shows, this is the highest profile campaign-style events shapiro's gotten to do at this point in his career, i think fairly we can say that right? he ran for governor obviously, but this is a different kind of stage. and i think that he really demonstrated that he can tie together a lot of the intellectual and other qualities that he has that impress donors and small rooms that have impressed the voters of pennsylvania in his elections in a way that shows he's, he's got a future where this sky is pretty much the limit what do you not unusual moment. i mean, for the public, we're going to get to see the study in contrast between walls of jubeira. we're going to have a better understanding of her decision by the end of tonight. >> you know, it's interesting also, because first of all, governor shapiro, i think he just secured a prime times speaking slot at the democratic convention later this month that shows he really can kind

of get a crowd standing on their, on their feet and very excited and enthusiastic it's also a, you noted that you could hear the obama as cadences and he was there was a viral video of him speaking on social media where you could really hear it and j.d. vance said something about that. i think j.d. vance called shapiro. this is before obviously wall suspect they call them like a knockoff obama and shapiro was asked about it. and he said something along the lines of brock obama was the greatest order of our time. is that supposed to be an insult? and it reminded me there was this generation of senators, governors in like the 80s that we're just so focused on john f kennedy and trying to look and sound like john f. kennedy, gary hart, the senator from colorado, perhaps foremost among them they were just doing everything they could consciously are unconsciously. and i agree he you can hear

that he learned from barak obama and that somebody else i heard speak recently in atlanta was senator jon ossoff who also has the obama cadences and way of speaking even if the word you all comes more naturally to ossoff, then shapiro you know, what did they say you know, great artists steal or whatever, bad artists borrow great artists steal. so i mean there it is. >> i mean, it's not, it's not unfair at all. and i think that, you know, good on, him for recognizing that, hey, i learned from this. i borrowed from this. and one of the things i think that was particularly effective that i was actually curious how it will translate know obama and, you know you all who have covered him as well can, can also understand is and he calls an answers to a crowd in a way that is specific. oftentimes to black audiences. i wondered if shapiro could do anything like that and he went, he said, you know, i care about my faith, the crowd started yelling at them to preach. i mean, he i

don't want to preach and everybody starts yelling. >> rage. rage seems to me now i maybe had to two others. >> i think that that's the point you know, you can imitate obama at a doesn't land because it's not authentic, like it has to sound like it makes sense coming from you and i do think if you listen to him, he sounds comfortable in it. >> and also, this audience is receptive to it and that is, that is that's the whole ball game. so it doesn't really matter who he's borrowing from it. the question is, can he sell it? and i am not moment but where are he said, i am proud of my faith. he looked directly into the camera and said, i am proud of my faith. that was obviously not by accident he knows the environment in which those conversation is happening about him but to kasie's point, when that crowd yelled back, i was watching a group over here. a lot of a lot of black people in this audience watching a group over here, they were on their feet and they yell, preach like you weren't in church, right? because he wanted this state

and this state is powered like a lot for democrats by this city, philadelphia that which is heavily black. you have to know how to reach those audiences a lot as he was attorney general, he is elected twice attorney general of pennsylvania, and once governor of pennsylvania. and as a democrat, that does not happen without a lot of time speaking from pulpits and black churches i don't i just know it doesn't happen and he you could tell he is comfortable even if he's old testament is clearly, you know, you know, by the better it is interesting that you noted that the ability to talk about your faith, i think is very much appreciated by people, but it's also the idea that he could basically counter something from like a jd vance saying, hey, this tank crews that he had to somehow hide his faith or that it was a problem republicans are using that as a cudgel in this moment. so he was trying to deliver something flipable on the internet to respond and i were talking as the speech was going on about you know, tim

walz versus josh shapiro, what is it really about? >> i still do think that when you really look at tim walz is biography, you look at his persona, how he carries himself. he is culturally align with the type of voter that were supposed to believe that j.d. vance is culturally aligned with and so i think that's a real difference between them because josh shapiro yes, he won this date, which is in the blue wall, but i still think that they're i have not yet seen evidence outside of this state how he reads to people in in michigan and wisconsin and minnesota. does he read coastal to them or does he read heartland to that? and i don't think i've seen that just yet. in the middle of it. >> the speech people started chanting, but tim walz talking point, right? like the weirdo thing that came from walz, right? and it's about the message no, absolutely. >> but look, there lot of reasons why people wanted walls over shapiro and a lot of them have to do with policy and a

lot of them have to do with cultural literacy. i mean, i think i feel confident saying that i don't think governor shapiro is a hunter and tim walz tweeted the other day that there were wild turkeys on his yard in his gun was wasn't there? >> oh, cap good morning when he took the pile from vice president harris. stood out to me and i bet that was also the fact about him that stood out when i was talking with sources, familiar with the process from harris, his perspective. that was the one fact about walls that really stuck out to me as a contrast with josh shapiro. i mean, josh shapiro is a candidate who clearly is comfortable in i mean, we're seeing him here in philadelphia, but he is a suburban candidate, right? i mean, i grew up in the suburbs of philadelphia i recognize this man. i went to high school with a lot of people like this man. i do not come from a farm farming community, a gun-owning community. tim walz has a rural background, right? it's the dfl, it's got farm and labor in it in minnesota, right? the

way the party is, it's progressive's. it's, it's a little bit different from the rest of the country and you can see in its very easy for them to clip on social media. he's they're you know, feeding calves he's got these, he's he's very natural in a different set of circ*mstances that are i think important for democrats to have some credibility in what democratic can you think of on a national level? who has that kind of? i, there's a better term for it, but i'm just going to say cultural literacy when it comes to the hunters and the farmers and the fishermen, that because i know bill clinton attempted it. i don't know how natural it was. he certainly was a rural guy from arkansas but i don't know how much he actually haunted or fast. he probably did and i don't remember it very well that you can really find that in the democratic party on the ticket, right? >> it will quiet long time and i think that's some people would argue perhaps that that's one of the problems. i mean, maybe you have to go back to jimmy carter, gentlemen.

well, yeah, but but no, but i'm talking about the presidential level. jimmy carter was from a peanut farm, right? okay. like he was he was from rural true rural america and i do really had a peanut farm so. >> it's been a long time, but i also think that what casey is talking about, what you look at the actual history of the midwest and the democratic party's decline in the midwest. that part of the country used to be actually quite progressive. this is a labour town. these are people who you know who, who actually were pretty far to the left. this is back in 19 1988 jesse jackson won the state of michigan. >> so these are parts of the country that have that kind of dna i make. this is the hype video and i think we're going to watch this hiladelphia

please president united states kamala harris and tim walz
