Tim Walz on Getting the Call from Kamala, Trump Being Weird, Doing Lunch Duty & School Gun Violence

Governor Tim Walz talks about the anniversary of the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel, being a teacher, one lesson he wishes every adult remembered from social studies, being the lunchroom supervisor, building the sets for prom with his wife Gwen, how he became the VP nominee, Donald Trump having thin skin, his thoughts on the gun violence epidemic in our schools and our country, being endorsed by Bruce Springsteen, his enticing way of raising money, ignoring an unknown caller not knowing it was Vice President Kamala Harris asking him to be her running mate, who he has her listed as in his phone, and Jimmy quizzes him on what’s weird and not weird.
