Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show, the live at five version, at least, where we talk to our subscribers and the folks who are watching. We're so happy that you could join us today. Just in case you've been living under a rock, Kamala Harris introduced her running mate yesterday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. It was a raucous, electric, electrifying rally in Philadelphia at the Leah Core Center at Temple University yesterday. evening it was fantastic we hopefully you watched our coverage and our commentary with governor patrick duvall with chris eliza and others last night it was live on this channel and i highly encourage you to check it out but enough plugging no not enough plugging make sure you hit the like and subscribe button of course that helps the algorithm and it helps us to build elimination as we call it and because we know that you all are lemonheads we're trying to get a bunch of people to be lemonheads
including someone I know who's watching, and that's Katie Couric. So everyone say hi to Katie Couric again and visit her channel as well. Okay, so we have a lot to dig into. And fortunately, I have a stellar panel to help me break it all down. Friend of the show, Tim Miller, host of the Bulwark podcast, co-host of the Next Level podcast, and an MSNBC contributor. Richard Green is here. He's an author. He's a lawyer. He's a political communication strategist and a renowned celebrity speech coach, also a friend of the show. Cliff Albright is here. Cliff, welcome to the program, a co-founder and executive director of the Black Voters Matter Fund. And Harry Siegel is an editor, is the editor of The City, and a columnist for New York Daily News.
I'm grateful to have all of you. How are you doing?
What happened at Kamala Harris’s Philadelphia rally and who joined her?
Everybody doing okay? Okay.
Doing great, baby.
Doing great. Yeah, doing great. Okay, so listen. The first person to speak up was, of course, Tim Miller. And Tim, I'm going to get to you first, but I just want to tell people what we're covering here. We're going to talk about that Philadelphia rally. We're going to talk about Shapiro, Waltz, Harris' speech. We're going to talk about Vance, how he's continued to implode. And he's doing some weird shit. He's like stalking the vice president. It's just bizarre. It's like the biggest self-own that I have seen in politics recently. So, Tim, I know that we have a short time, but I want to start. This is a clip from Walt's speech last night in Philadelphia. And then I want to get your thoughts on it. Here it is.
All regular people I grew up with in the heartland, J.D. studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community. Come on. That's not what middle America is. And I got to tell you, I can't wait to debate the guy.
My favorite part's coming up.
If he's willing to get off the couch and show up.
That was savage. So, Tim, I wanted you first because I know that you were, you, Shapiro, Josh Shapiro was your favorite, right? That's your, that you wanted. So, has Tim Walls won you over?
not as much as he's won Kamala over, which was the most important thing for him to do, uh, since she was the one that got to pick, not me and the Bullard podcast. Um, but, uh, she was loving that. Do you just watching her face during that whole, uh, the couch joke? I mean, she was doing everything she could not to just bust open. Uh, and so I, I really think it came down to that. Um, They seem to have a good vibe. He brings good balance to her as far as just their biography and background, being from the heartland, being a teacher, being a soldier, being a coach. Shapiro and her had pretty similar backgrounds. Obviously, they're different racially, but they both were lawyers and prosecutors and politicians.
So I think that was appealing. And I think that all evidence I've heard publicly and privately is that she just liked him better. Maybe they got along better is maybe a better way to put it. And that's important. You want to have somebody to get along with. I'm just a little nervous, you know, Don, that if it ends up being an election that comes down to Georgia and Pennsylvania...
