Tim Walz is a great foil for Kamala's West Coast vibe: He looks like he'll fix your car, then grab an Arby's sandwich before he goes duck hunting. And he's a perfect contrast to JD Vance, the callus-free faux hillbilly who went to Yale. Michael Steele weighs in on the veep pick. Then Rep.

1A - Is High-Speed Rail Hitting The Fast Track In The Near Future?

Airfares have gone up 25 percent in the last year. And the average U.S. driver spent 42 hours, or a full work week, in traffic congestion last year.

Enter trains.

A record number of people are hitting the tracks. While passenger trains have been a common mode of transportation for centuries, the country has never had a dedicated high-speed rail line.

That's expected to change in the next few years with two high-speed rail lines currently under construction in the Southwest and several more in planning phases across the country.

We discuss how high-speed rails could change the landscape of transportation in our country.
