Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has found her running mate - bringing out Governor Tim Walz at a Philadelphia rally.
Walz addressed a cheering crowd for the first time as Vice Presidential nominee.
Harris says Walz shines a light on a brighter future they can build together.
US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says the pair had a one-on-one meeting over the weekend - and just clicked.
"She liked a lot of what he brought, liked the fact that he's been going after Trump - and thinks that he will help her cross the Midwest."

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dan Mitchinson US correspondence with US. Now, Hey Dan, Hey Heather,
So what do you make of Tim Waltz?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, I make the fact that he is the same
age as Brad Pitt and who's got the better jeans?
They're both sixty? Can you believe that?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Do you know what? Okay, So we were aware of
this because you had alerted us to this, and I
went and I'll put the pictures of the two lads
next to each other, and I thought, Jays, you're unlucky Tim.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah. I mean he's a former teacher. I think he
caught a few people. I surprised. He's a Midwestern governor,
military veteran, big union supporter, and I think really what
Kamala Harris was looking for, and she didn't know a
lot about him until this weekend the one on one meeting.
Sat down. Liked a lot of what he brought, liked
the fact that he's been going after Trump, and thinks
(00:46):
that he will help her across the Midwest. But what
insiders have said is that they just clicked and that
was really important to her, you know, And it has
to be when you're going to be spending that much time,
possibly with somebody and certainly over the next you know,
three months.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Or so, she vibed with him, didn't she. And one
of the things that he is probably most notable for
is that he actually started the thing that the Democrats
now regularly use, which is saying Republicans are weird, didn't he?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
He did.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, he kind of hit the nail on the head though,
because they are a bit, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well they are, I mean, both both sides are. And
it's going to be interesting to see if he gets
to a chance to debate JD. Vance. I think he's
got a lot more experience, and quite honestly, I think
Vance has been a little bit of a disappointment to
two Republicans. Republicans don't like this guy. They think he's
way too much to the left. They think he's a socialist.
(01:35):
So we'll see how this works out for Kamalay Harris.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Well, what are the policies that he's known for.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, he's done a lot with child tax credits over here,
and gun safety and access to reproductive health, so all
the things that the Democrats like, all the things that
Kamala Harris has been talking about across and he's just
down to earth quite honestly. I mean before he got
into politics, he was a teacher, he was a football coach.
I mean, one of the first things I read about
him when it came out was he's got this affinity
(02:04):
for diet mountain dew, and I thought, well, of all
the things to put in the first couple of sentences
about a guy that's running for vice president is this.
And that's about as Midwest as you can get.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I think, Hey, how much a snoop dog getting paid
for being over at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, according to your producer, not enough, because he is
the star of the Olympics. Actually, about five hundred thousand
dollars a day is what I die a day, is
what some are saying that he's getting for being a
correspondent for NBC and Petecock, And whether or not that
is true, I mean, he's adding a lot of color
(02:40):
to the commentary. He's been getting big hits on social media.
He's brought some laughs to the Olympics. He's covering all
these different kinds of sports, and he's helping them rake
in the money. They've already brought in over a billion
dollars in advertising, and that is just the most amount
that they have ever seen for an Olympics game here
and there's still selling ads too.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Hey, well how about that for and especially given that
he'll be doing it while stoned, that's pretty impressive. Age.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Well, I mean, let me ask you this, when you've
seen Snoop, can you tell the difference between when he
is and when he is? Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Because he's never not He's always I'm pretty sure as
a constant state of nebriation. Hey, so Matthew Perry's death.
Now that there are some reports that suggests that the
charges are only days away, they're coming any day. Who
are they looking to charge?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well, that's the question that we're trying to figure out
right now, because they haven't said now there are as
soon as you get a leak like this, you know
that somebody is going to come out of TMZ, a
British tabloid, one of the entertainment shows. The question is
is this a name person, somebody that Perry knew, a
Hollywood colleague. Is it one of his doctors that prescribed
these medications? Or is it just someone off the street
(03:52):
who provided the drugs? And I got to tell you here, Heather,
in California, there's been a big push, a big mandate
to go after drug dealers like this with the the overdoses,
and this was you know, ketamine and drowning that happened
almost a year ago. So this has been an investigation
that's been going on since I think back in almost
December right now, and you know, if we're to believe
what they're saying, we may find out who is behind
(04:14):
this before week's end.
