As a Minnesotan I gotta be honest and was a little bummed when Kamala picked him because he's the fucking best governor in my 50 years but he's too good to not share. It makes me so happy to see comments like this.
I was at this conference and my colleagues all were talking about Gov Walz's keynote address at the bar afterwards. We were like "This guy is good! He should run for some higher office..." fast forward a few weeks later...
What a great straight talking man, what a great personality. People is USA are beyond lucky to have Tim Waltz and Kanala Harris running for the highest office in USA! I am absolutely confident they will win. Greetings from Europe!
God damn. Could you imagine this man in the White House? Speaking so eloquently, so passionately about his state and how they're using technology to improve the lives of Minnesotans.
Update: seems like some people can in fact imagine him in the white house. I can only hope this pick further the message that GIS can be used to benefit society.
So nice to listen to an articulate, rational, educated, moral political office holder who focuses on our genuine needs and the available tools for remediating our problems.
i hadn't planned on spending 35 minutes watching a video on a saturday morning but here i am. inspiring story and speaker. i'd vote for him. thank you, james fallows.
I have been so absorbed and inspired by the videos. I’ve come across of Governor Walz, speaking in the house as well as going back 1415 years seeing the Kamala Harris videos of her speaking engagements one that defined her, so specifically was amazing. It’s titled women in leadership and she’s speaking at Haas that said I would encourage you to, take some time and listen to both of these incredible, intelligent, dedicated people who inspire and our true patriots . Dedicated for the people .
The pacing (of the speech, not Walz's feet) and plain clear talk was so refreshing it made certain more senior politicians seem mute by comparison. Within five minutes of this speech's start, I realized that it would be a powerful strategic shift to have a candidate with this certain sort of eloquence on a ticket. - Monday, 15 July at 1430h Pacific was this recording. - Seven days later, 21 July, Biden drops out, and there is a swirl of possibility while power brokers work behind the scenes. For two weeks, the stew was bubbling. Harris gained the inertia, a veep was needed, and I remained struck by Walz' gift of plain-spoken progressive voice. The power of that voice echoes the plain and practical dignity of some labor union demands. It does not mimic a flighty socialism of Jeremy Corbyn, nor the sneering vantage of racially intersectional coastal elite. Added to Harris this voice changes a point of attack into a front. - 22 days after this recording, 6 August, Walz is selected. It is a choice that works for me, and emphasizes that Harris' campaign builds on a team, not a singular point of personality.

What a future-envisioning process! Love Governor Walz, and can't wait to see him sit in the Vice President of the United States of America's seat. He is so competent and enthusiastic. No freak-mongering - just science, facts, and embracing the future!!! #HarrisWalz2024
Remember, Tim Walz can serve as VP for 8 years and then serve as President for another 8 years and he would STILL be younger than what DonOLD is today!!!
After watching this presentation and thinking about governor Walz as the vice president of the United States, it occurs to me that, in comparison to the myriad of things he has continually accomplished for communities, the work he will do as vice president will challenge his patients because the volume of work will no way compare to the volume of work. He has been accomplishing up until now. Such an impressive individual! Please Governor Walz, be patient through your term as vice president… Because we need you desperately as the visionary leader that you are to do more for the country after you complete that task! You are a treasure!
This has been my orientation on Governor Walz after he was selected as a VP choice. Quite impressed with him and his passion for education and the power of understanding maps. Learned a lot here.
I'm lucky to live in Minnesota where he's been our Governor for nearly 2 terms & he's somethin. I'll be very sad to lose him but America needs him now - and together with Kamala, "every little thing gon be alright". #TimWalz
Walz is going to be the model democratic politician for the next fifty years. Never backs down from bullies, speaks well, includes others, and uses data to pass and show the benefits of progressive policies.
They passed over a freaking Astronaut because this guy is better. The bench of qualified VP candidates was so impressive. What a legend in the making. Beating back Fascism with knowledge, love this guy. Well done Minnesota, thanks for sending your best.
Dear everyone who just learned about the great governor of the state of Minnesota #TimWalz . He really IS all that. He quietly kicks ass & gets shit done. He had to tell the Harris campaign that he's never used a teleprompter. They literally taught him about that before the rally in PA yesterday. I assume you're all teachers based on comments & I thank you for all that you do! I hope America takes very good care of our guy. He'll be missed but our Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan is cut from the same cloth. VOTE BLUE!
WOW....IS ALL I CAN SAY...Walz has got to be one of the most astute and knowledgeable political people in the nation. And to think we could have settled for Shapiro (a good guy but certainly narcissistic). Hearing Tim Walz speak is inspiring-and hopeful for our collective future. Not to diss Kamela, but at least in some ways, Walz would make a better president. GO TEAM
Remember during the campaigning, the person running for President has to convince people that the running mate they chose would be ready, day one, to take over as President if needed. Kamala made a brilliant choice selecting Tim Walz as her running mate !!!
Tim Walz is an amazing speaker and his knowledge about geography and education is excellent. He needs to learn about the open source world of GIS which presents many more opportunities than the closed corporate world of ESRI. Minnesota has a great history of developing world class open source gis software and he should be aware of this
So, the responsibility always lies with the person who understands what is going on. Therefore, it is YOUR mission to make sure that Gov Walz DOES know about open source GIS. Get busy!
I’m from the Deep South and Walz resonates because he’s just real!! He added a whole new level of competency to the presidential ticket. We must get out and vote blue
Thanks to Jack Dangermond or relevant portions of his User Conference keynote selection committee for wise choice, and very good video production (again.)
Tim shut down the bars on Saint Patrics Day. In St. Paul. He cared about us. He knew we were going to have a super spreder event. We can't help but get together in this city.
Tim Walz is brilliant, and I hope (and expect) he'll bring his mapping superpower to bear on the campaign so the election ends with a landslide win for Harris / Walz!
Thank you for this. This talk brought me back to 4th - 8th grades, with all of the maps I colored in -- all of the rivers and mountains running through the different countries, or in the States, labeling with pictures, the products produced, or writing the places where different Indian tribes/nations were located...I loved the act of coloring it in. I like the power of these tools for the high school level, but there is something powerful about the tactile act of drawing and coloring, for the younger grades. I remember my whole 4th grade class working on coloring in a giant map on butcher paper, where the color assigned, matched the intensity of hunger in that country. I had never heard of Bangladesh, but there it was, bright red, and at the bottom, there was the key of what the rate of hunger was. At that time, Bangladesh was the highest.
Minnesota has kept him a little known secret because he's that great! I'm kidding - he's done SO much for our state! He'll do great things for America!
My fave teacher in great 1970s UK school taught me geography & rugby-football*. In UK eqv. of 7th-8th grade I was MAJORING in 'modern world history' & 'political geography' (= 'geography' sans most geology). In 9th grade at US high school (ranked #37 in US) I was shocked there were no 'majors' let alone no geography or world history below 11th grade, both classes anyway were 2 years behind my UK middle school eqv.! In 7th grade geography I learned how to design all types of accurate maps, including land surveying, urban and rural development, world topographies and the relationship between geography, sociology and politics and economics - and in history I was learning about European, US, Russian and Chinese (etc etc) history from the 1860s to the (then) 1970s. Almost none of that existed in what was supposed to be a top US high school - and was significantly worse in the 3 months I went to a public (no tuition) 'very good' public high school (which I dropped out of due to being bored to death and disgusted by too many Americans my age and the prevailing American addiction to materialism and egotism, but eventually I graduated from high school by taking a 'California High School Equivalency Examination' 'test' at age 16 that I didn't even study for more than 8 hours for and received a significantly above average passing grade anyway! If it wasn't for multiple choice answers on the exam I would have barely passed it - hint: there is a reason why no other 'major' developed nation on earth has multiple choice answer tests and thinks they are an insane form of educational tool or assessment. Extra-note: every nation in Europe (since the 1960s!) starts regular school at least 1 year before American kids do (a few nations in the EU start 2 years before). The European popular-perception that, except for a relatively small minority, most Americans are badly educated, is not based in jealousy. However, general average overall-learning levels in SOME nations' free K-12 schools in Europe (since the 1970s) has actually deteriorated slightly or not significantly-improved (UK being a good example, due to underfunding by conservative governments, surprise surprise). * I was a skinny short un-athletic 12 year old kid (in equivalent of US 6th grade) terrified of and inexperienced with physical violence of any kind, he convinced me I had a place in his rugby class - and because I was so terrified of getting tackled and slammed to the ground, I became the player who other players passed the ball to THE most because they knew that I would pass the ball almost immediately to another player ASAP (and accurately to the right player) and learned to get great at dodging other people and thus acquired very good fast sports reflexes and trust in team-effort dynamics skills-set. I rarely was tackled, was among the worst 15% of all the rugby players, however I found my niche within the limitations I had or couldn't/wouldn't surmount, and for the first time in my life I got high off the fact that I could get injured in a sport and couldn't wait to get back for more rugby (it also made me feel more alive and alert for all my other classes after rugby class). The only reason I didn't take rugby class in 7th-8th grade was because I had to choose between either an extra P.E. elective-class (e.g. rugby), or technical studies (US 'metal and woodshop', which I had already compulsory taken 2 years of) or an elective-class extra foreign-language, and so out of higher-interest to me I took a year of German language and then a year of Spanish/Castilian language - French language was already compulsory partly because the pre-school-through-12th-grade UK school was the British School of Brussels (Belgium), conveniently located (in Tervuren) right next door to one of the largest and best museums (minus it's EX very-controversial history) of sub-Saharan artifacts in the world, known affectionately by BSB students as the 'Congo Museum' (Belgian privateers+royalty pillaged and work-to-death genocided 25% of the population of 'Belgian' Congo in the late 1800s - thus initiating the world's first convention on genocide, not that it made a huge difference in the short or medium term considering what Imperial Germany did in Namibia in the early 1900s - that was so ignored that even the vast majority of world progressives and fascists alike in the 1920s-2010s never mentioned/mention it, and only ever since the 1920s mention the 1915 Armenian (and relatedly some others) genocide by Turks (and relatedly some others) as being the 'first' genocide in modern world history - note: Armenians were/are light skinned 'European' 'Christian' people and not Namibian or Congolese quite-dark skinned 'African' 'animist' people - you do the math). Excuse me if my off the cuff memory is not 100% accurate. "Who remembers the Armenian genocide?", an Adolf Hitler quote from his 1925 manifesto 'Mein Kampf' ("My Struggle') in relation to calling for the elimination of the Jewish 'race' from 'civilized' societies. But what Hitler really meant and was implying by that was that Armenians counted as [white] people, yet by 1925 the genocide was practically forgotten by [white] people anyway - Hitler was fully aware of the 1904-1908 German genocide in Namibia, German colonization was an obsession of his even before WW1 - left out of most curriculum, admiring obsession about German colonization was a major concern of Adolf's BEFORE WW1 (when Adolf envisioned Germany was on the precipice of becoming a global colonizing empire in the world en par with France or Russia) and even more of a concern for him after the 1919 Versailles Treaty all the way through WW2, and so there was a lot more of a colonization/loss-of-colonies perspective informing his post-WW1 obsession with the "traitorous" premature surrender of Germany in 1918 than commonly taught.
I live in Georgia. At Georgia State University, my alma mater, one of their schools are the Andrew Young School of Public Policy. I don't know it they teach their students to skills to use GIS in making public policy. I would love for ESRI to contact the dean of the school and have a conversation about a course in GIS usage in making public policy. I think it would be immensely helpful in fact-based decision making in government.
Walz can be VP for the next 8 years and then serve as President for another 8 years and he will STILL be younger than what DonOLD is today !!! I’m voting ALL BLUE to try and make this happen !!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024 .. DonOLD for PRISON 2024 !!!!

Omg Gov Walz knows it all off the top of his head so easily…all from his passion for geography… amazing what will happen when he is VP
Don’t disagree but at presentations like this they often have a monitor with speaker notes at the front of the stage.
No teleprompter…..this man is the real deal!
Omg yess so refreshing ❤
The best kinds of speakers use bullet points, visual props is a nice touch also. Too some people it's easier than reading a teleprompter.

I watched a four minute clip and was like ' I wish you posted the whole thing'. And there it was. My wish come true. Tim Walz is magical.
The pacing (of the speech, not Walz's feet) and plain clear talk was so refreshing it made certain more senior politicians seem mute by comparison.
Within five minutes of this speech's start, I realized that it would be a powerful strategic shift to have a candidate with this certain sort of eloquence on a ticket.

For two weeks, the stew was bubbling. Harris gained the inertia, a veep was needed, and I remained struck by Walz' gift of plain-spoken progressive voice.
The power of that voice echoes the plain and practical dignity of some labor union demands. It does not mimic a flighty socialism of Jeremy Corbyn, nor the sneering vantage of racially intersectional coastal elite. Added to Harris this voice changes a point of attack into a front.
- 22 days after this recording, 6 August, Walz is selected. It is a choice that works for me, and emphasizes that Harris' campaign builds on a team, not a singular point of personality.
A practical visionary. Brilliant.
Wish this speech could get widely dispersed. VP please.
A friend passed it on to me. We all need to share it.
Looks like your wish was granted :)
Imagine being an intelligence officer working for NGA and having to brief him vs having to brief Trump or Vance lol.
This man is brilliant. Harris has made an amazing choice. First time in my 62 years I think the ticket is hopeful.
Obama/Biden walked so that Harris/Walz could run.
I’m glad she picked him too! A guaranteed win for Trump/Vance!!
lmao, if you are a woman that supports vance, you are hopeless HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Rubbing elbows with Jack and promoting GIS and ESRI makes him just that much cooler!! Harris/Walz 2024!!!

* I was a skinny short un-athletic 12 year old kid (in equivalent of US 6th grade) terrified of and inexperienced with physical violence of any kind, he convinced me I had a place in his rugby class - and because I was so terrified of getting tackled and slammed to the ground, I became the player who other players passed the ball to THE most because they knew that I would pass the ball almost immediately to another player ASAP (and accurately to the right player) and learned to get great at dodging other people and thus acquired very good fast sports reflexes and trust in team-effort dynamics skills-set. I rarely was tackled, was among the worst 15% of all the rugby players, however I found my niche within the limitations I had or couldn't/wouldn't surmount, and for the first time in my life I got high off the fact that I could get injured in a sport and couldn't wait to get back for more rugby (it also made me feel more alive and alert for all my other classes after rugby class). The only reason I didn't take rugby class in 7th-8th grade was because I had to choose between either an extra P.E. elective-class (e.g. rugby), or technical studies (US 'metal and woodshop', which I had already compulsory taken 2 years of) or an elective-class extra foreign-language, and so out of higher-interest to me I took a year of German language and then a year of Spanish/Castilian language - French language was already compulsory partly because the pre-school-through-12th-grade UK school was the British School of Brussels (Belgium), conveniently located (in Tervuren) right next door to one of the largest and best museums (minus it's EX very-controversial history) of sub-Saharan artifacts in the world, known affectionately by BSB students as the 'Congo Museum' (Belgian privateers+royalty pillaged and work-to-death genocided 25% of the population of 'Belgian' Congo in the late 1800s - thus initiating the world's first convention on genocide, not that it made a huge difference in the short or medium term considering what Imperial Germany did in Namibia in the early 1900s - that was so ignored that even the vast majority of world progressives and fascists alike in the 1920s-2010s never mentioned/mention it, and only ever since the 1920s mention the 1915 Armenian (and relatedly some others) genocide by Turks (and relatedly some others) as being the 'first' genocide in modern world history - note: Armenians were/are light skinned 'European' 'Christian' people and not Namibian or Congolese quite-dark skinned 'African' 'animist' people - you do the math). Excuse me if my off the cuff memory is not 100% accurate.
"Who remembers the Armenian genocide?", an Adolf Hitler quote from his 1925 manifesto 'Mein Kampf' ("My Struggle') in relation to calling for the elimination of the Jewish 'race' from 'civilized' societies. But what Hitler really meant and was implying by that was that Armenians counted as [white] people, yet by 1925 the genocide was practically forgotten by [white] people anyway - Hitler was fully aware of the 1904-1908 German genocide in Namibia, German colonization was an obsession of his even before WW1 - left out of most curriculum, admiring obsession about German colonization was a major concern of Adolf's BEFORE WW1 (when Adolf envisioned Germany was on the precipice of becoming a global colonizing empire in the world en par with France or Russia) and even more of a concern for him after the 1919 Versailles Treaty all the way through WW2, and so there was a lot more of a colonization/loss-of-colonies perspective informing his post-WW1 obsession with the "traitorous" premature surrender of Germany in 1918 than commonly taught.
Amazing.

I live in Georgia. At Georgia State University, my alma mater, one of their schools are the Andrew Young School of Public Policy. I don't know it they teach their students to skills to use GIS in making public policy. I would love for ESRI to contact the dean of the school and have a conversation about a course in GIS usage in making public policy. I think it would be immensely helpful in fact-based decision making in government.
As an avid GIS user, this guy gets it.
Yes!!
Please America, put him in the White House🙏...
I am blown over, we need this man in office again, even if he'd rather eat glass. :D
