Governor Tim Walz's 2024 DNC Speech: TYT Reacts

***

The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.

What does it mean to be a “Young Turk?”

According to the American Heritage Dictionary;
1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party.
2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

I loved the student who said 'he's the kinda guy who will help push you out of a snow drift, and I know cause he helped me out of a snow drift.'

[margarett]

Cenk said it all when he said "I've been waiting for this guy my whole life " ME TOO CENK, we all have 💗💗💗

[InfiniteUmbra]

I find it impossible not to like Tim Walz.

He's a wholesome guy with a wholesome family.

[StaceyJ]

I was going to vote for Kamala Harris regardless but when she selected Tim Walz I became inspired to both vote and work for her. He was not the mainstream choice but the perfect choice for an Independent voter like myself...he has no agenda other than doing the right thing...wow...

[bruhbun]

Damn I dont ever tear up....but seeing Waltz kids go wild and be emotional, actually made me kinda tear up.

[LaughinLoneStar]

He is an incredible public speaker. He sounds like a normal person talking, blows me away.

[AlisonCrockett]

I like Tim waltz a lot. This was a great speech. He sounds like a human but also understands that words matter. His family also looked like us:regular and beautiful.

[Castor-wiim]

Wow Kamala definitely made a smart choice with this guy. He's quite a charismatic speaker. He's almost overshadowing her lol

[AnoniManc]

¨That´s my Dad!¨ What a fabulous clip you caught there! <3

[derekspears]

“I learned how to compromise, without compromising my values”
Simple, but so real and so effective

[cuteiswhatIaimfor]

His kids are so adorable. His son jumping up like that is the most heartwarming thing ever. It must be nice to have parents who love you. My goodness.

[kathybelanger]

How can you not love Tim Walz. These two joyful warriors have brought back hope, and compassion, and UNITY. let's look at what unites us instead of what divides us, Help your neighbours, But when it comes to some things we have to MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS. I'm loving the energy !

[auralprods]

I agree w Cenk. This is my kind of politician. LFG.

[andrew]

This speech was absolute fire. I’ve never seen the Democrats run a campaign this wisely.

[ELPRESDENTE]

Pound-for-pound, one of the best political speeches that I've ever seen.

[EddieEnglander]

All my time in the military was about leadership. Even when I edited a newspaper and television shows. Your job is to look after people. And when the shit hit the fan I would stand up for them. Great speech.

[Junier-Hussein]

Much love to Tim Walz from the UK! Fantastic speech!

[rickrichards]

We have been waiting on this guy for a long time, Cenk!
I totally agree

[maicharwa]

The most charismatic, personable, GENUINE candidate on the ticket for a very long time. The only candidate I support as much as Bernie.

[kjjohnson]

Coach Walz makes me so proud to be a Minnesotan!
