@@FlyingCircusActsuppose you’re another brainless MAGA mouthpiece? Haven’t seen a single piece of criticism leverage by the GOP that holds up against Walz. Every single attack is completely baseless or bad faith. Walz is a fairly centrist results based politician with a record pursuing changes that directly affect the communities he serves. One of the more down-to-earth politicians out there, and a well rounded/grounded individual.
Tim Walz was instrumental with his natural resource policies in Minnesota. Things like: •only requiring a 2-year vocational degree for a full-time position with the state •supplimenting atv and utv trail funding •approved the addition of an additional elk herd •supplimented funding for boat launches across the state •increased pay for state natural resource workers This guy gets blue collar work and will 100% have my vote in November 💙💙
Everybody LOVES free shit & TW's freebies are designed to push his agenda to full-on socialism, with equity & economic justice putting Robin Hood policies in place.
The thing that strikes me the most from this talk is how Walz is not just a dedicated teacher, he's clearly an adept and curious student as well. I don't know if there is any other politician in the US that would have taken the time to actually learn and understand how to use GIS, let alone recognize its value as a tool affecting change. His willingness to learn new tools and integrate them into his work is what makes him such an effective leader.
He took it home and learned it! Gosh we need more people in politics who just go dive deep into data and statistics, and not just for election mechanics. For actually helping people! When people say that we should implement business policies into government, I know there's usually bad stuff coming, because they mean maximizing profit and efficiency. But this here is the kind of business tools we need to use. Information systems that let people make good policy, and check up on how that policy is going, and report to the people how things are changing.
I had no idea when I watched this speech live on 7/15 who he was, let alone that Biden would drop out a week later leading to him eventually being picked as the VP candidate for the Democratic party. I'm a proud Geographer and Democrat. Once again ESRI is ahead of the curve.
I'm motivated to be a lifelong learner by this gentleman. We all should be lifelong Learners. GIS sounds completely awesome for tracking data and results
Wow, as a former Quality Engineer this is right up my alley. We always used data in manufacturing to create and test an improvement then measure the results and see if we accomplished what we wanted to do. I was impressed by Tim Walz before but after hearing this short presentation I can say he's taken it to a new level in my book.
exactly my thought. A politician that can actually use data is a win in my book. As he mentioned with the behaviour improvement after putting food in their belly. A lot of people already knew that, but with the data to back this up, it can be implemented nationwide, maybe even worldwide. Also imagine this vice-president and climate change, he can actually understand the data.
@@AnoNymous-db8ym I agree. When it comes to data it takes a real expert to distill it and make it accessible to a general audience. I think he's the kind of person who can explain complex data in simple terms. I think if I asked him the following questions he'd talk to me and not talk down to me if I asked: "What does it have to do with me? What are you trying to accomplish? How much time are you talking about? Do we have the money to do it? What's the payoff for society?" And if he didn't know the answer he or someone in his office would find out and get back to me. Just a gut feeling but I've dealt with a lot of Managers and CEOs, good and bad, and you'd hear the same BS out of the bad ones. But if you got a good one it was like being on sailboat when the wind fills the sails with a fresh breeze and you're off. I'm not expecting perfection but if he's good that's good enough for me and he has a track record of being good for the average person. Thanks for your reply.
@@Brinelious Yeah I hit the hyperlink is the description box and watched his 30 minute talk. The use of maps to pinpoint improvement to specific areas really opened my eyes to a great tool. Thanks.
@@insaneclownponies9599 24 yEaRs oF SerViCe, yet not one single day spent in combat. (Lies about caring a weapon of war in war) “As a retired CSM …” (Absolute lie) “We stand in alliance with The People’s Republic of North Korea” - VP Harris I’m sure you’ve got a profound admiration for that dude dressing as a woman, pretending to be the health admiral. Levine something? Sure does make me feel great about my 20 years serving this whacky country.
@@FlyingCircusAct "24 yEaRs oF SerViCe, yet not one single day spent in combat." - ok so two things. 1 what's with the backwards capitalization of words? 2 Walz never claimed to be in combat (learn what words mean) and lot's of people do 20+ years in the National Guards and never see combat. In fact, NONE of them should have ever been mobilized overseas, that was Bush that made that change. In what way does the world National Guard mean you should be sent overseas to fight a war? Uh, that's what the standard armed forces are for. Not that you served a day in your life. "As a retired CSM " -- Nope 100% true. It was after his retirement that his rank was reduced for retirement benefits purposes due to not completing the Sergeant Major's Academy course which is required to maintain the rank. No stolen valor, so y'all can quit with that crap.
@@Uller1967 Have you missed the video clip of him saying that he wants to ban "weapons of war like the one I carried in war"? "Not that you served a day in your life" Retired combat veteran of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Africa. You certainly missed the target with that one. My wife is also a retired SGM and we're both quite familiar with rank structure, requirements, and with the retirement process. Walz is not only a coward, he's also a lair and a fraud. Admire who you wish, just understand that there's actually people out there who are intelligent enough to pick up on military frauds.
@@dmman33 I have to disagree. We Gen-X'rs are as techy and nerdy as any generation, we just came before the age where it was OK to reveal it. Being a nerdy teen in the early-mid 90's was common, it just wasnt cool yet. Don't get me started about a good map... ;)
This is the problem with US politics, it's hard to know about real politicians that are willing to help the people and the country. Something tells had Biden not dropped no one outside Minnesota would have known the existence of Tim walz.
Could Tim Walsh be ANY MORE AWESOME?!? Not only is he a sincere, motivated, intelligent, caring, thoughtful, joyful, helpful, and strategic thinker who is also charismatic and motivating, but he is also the guy you are grateful to be neighbors, family or friends with… He’s THAT guy.
I’m sad he’s leaving Minnesota because he’s such a great governor, but I hope he can bring this level of knowledge to bridge tools like this with governance. Amazing man!
Wow! I started out as a translater here in Brasil for a company that promoted GIS in the late 1990s. What a powerful tool! Tim Walz is a very talented, intelligent and committed politician. No wonder he's so popular in Minesotta. I just wish he was Brazilian so I could vote for him.
I studied geography and GIS in college. I use it as a planner in my job and am depended on to maintain our databases and create spatial products when needed. I'd hope I can change my MOS with the National Guard to geospatial engineering so I can further knowledge and apply it to my service. I personally would love to see a man like Walz assisting the next president. I fully support him and Kamala.
When I think of how boring my life would be without people teaching me things or books to read, I can't. I just can't imagine such a life. Now I'm going to go and learn everything I can about Esir. Thank you Esri for sharing. Wish it was the whole speech.
This man is a fantastic and amazing person! I hope and pray for him to be elected the next vice president of this great country called America. His vision and ideas are needed to transform America into the next generation of logical thinkers and inclusive visionaries for the good of all mankind.
@@FlyingCircusAct LOL. Yeah, taking school kids to visit another country is crazy! I mean it's as if this is done all the time or something? Oh wait, it appears that this is actually quite common. Derp I can't get over how much time you're spending trying to dump on Walz. Did he pass you over for promotion or something or are you just that big a MAGA nut that you troll any YT video about him to make insulting posts about him. Dude, the WDS in you is next level. Go outside and touch grass, you'll feel better. Trust me!
I wonder if the MAGA people and the weird orange guy would be able to comprehend the importance of GIS, the way Walz does? Maybe it’s just too “woke” for them!
As a former educator, a future planner, a glutton for public and social policy and a lover of maps and geography, I’d be a fool not to support the Harris/Walz ticket!
All I needed to hear about this guy is he served in congress for twelve years and has been a two term governor and he doesn’t have three houses and millions of dollars. That means he was working for the people not for his self!!! Vote BLUE all the way down the ballot!!!
I’d put that presentation up against any professional. His knowledge, speaking ability and methodology was spot on. Could either of the other team have the same skills. NO. Vote 💙
@@earthsystemyou can definitely tell he’s a teacher. Politicians should be mandated to learn about the policies they want to implement and how that impacts lives on the ground with accurate and thorough data, not in polls. Tim Walz is a world of wonders. So glad he’s part of the Democratic ticket.
I work in the mental health field. Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Hungry children are not concerned about learning or capable. Feed'em. Give ' em exercise and then teach them! Common sense. Basic needs. And thanks so much for the recognition of the detriment of shame.
I shouldn't be this stunned watching a politician talk. Imagine if we elected school teachers instead of people who think they're businessmen because they were born into wealth.
This is bizarre! A politician that is a likeable guy, a regular dad, kind, funny, smart, actually did stuff for his people, and knows ArcGIS? You're am idiot if you don't vote for him. 💙
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'd never heard of Tim Walz until he became running mate for Kamalax Harris, but I'm very impressed by what I've since seen. He's a very intelligent person and a very effective communicator - compare that with the garbage that comes from Trump & JD Vance.
He needs to show on a map where he served in Afghanistan, under oath. I also wonder if he could point out Dawes County, Nebraska on a map while he's at it.
"They allow us to do Amazing thing's " like put tampons in the men bathroom, and change the minnesota flag to a Muslim flag.... Will give him credit he can speak clear.
@@user-gq2vn1xj2r You don't vote directly for presidential candidates, in the primary or general elections. Yes, the systems are antiquated, but those have been the rules for years. There is a movement to ditch the electoral system, the party delegate system might go the same way.
@@user-gq2vn1xj2r It was. We wanted her as VP. Now we get her as POTUS and another extraordinarily competent guy as VP. As far as many of us are concerned, it's a huge upgrade from the original 2024 Biden/Harris ticket. Only you weird Republicans are whining about this despite the fact that it doesn't concern your rights as losers who vote in the Republican primary.
He let his city burn. He lied about his military service, his rank and blamed the military for his dui. He is a msg not a csm he never completed the course nor was in combat yet he wears a combat infantry badge only 11b can wear that, hes not an 11b. Stolen valor perp.
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 !!!
