The Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar

The new phenomenon is called "baby led weaning."

What is it and is it right for you?   Reaction from Dr. Allison Golnik-ALLINA HEALTH INTEGRTIVE PEDIATRICIAN, on the WCCO Morning News with Vineeta Sawkar. 

They are the subject of our Sawkar Salute, as they left a nice donation for a local charity during their stay in the Twin Cities. 

Blois Olson looked back at night one of the DNC Convention in Chicago, when he joined Vineeta on The WCCO Morning News.

It made waves last week and we wanted to talk to an expert so we chatted with Bruce Helmer, co-founder of Wealth Enhancement Group and co-host of ‘Your Money’ on Sunday mornings on WCCO Radio - on the finances of Tim Walz - no investments and concerns by many about his financial situation and reliance solely on pension! Also, how common is it for people to not have any money put back?

It was a tough night for the Twins and an odd way to go out, but they are back at it - this time in San Diego. We chatted with Dave Campbell, who covers the Minnesota Twins for the Associated Press about the loss, any updates on Buxton or Correa and previews what San Diego brings in this next series!

It is the first day of this week’s Democratic National Convention and our own Susie Jones is in Chicago for all of the festivities. We checked in with her at this morning’s breakfast featuring a couple special guest speakers including Joe Biden and what we can expect from tonight's initial opening ceremony!

Early Sunday morning we lost former Saint Paul mayor George Latimer at the age of 89 years old so we brought on Chris Coleman, former Saint Paul mayor as well and currently CEO and President of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity - he joins to remember the life and legacy of George Latimer.

If we thought Tiger King was something, we haven't seen anything yet - a new four part series from the director of 'Tiger King' is making waves on HBO capturing people and their exotic animals called 'Chimp Crazy' - Matt Roush of TV Insider and TV Guide joins to talk about this interesting new series!

Not the way the Minnesota Twins wanted to end their stay in Texas losing in odd fashion yesterday but they move on to San Diego and Henry Lake joins to recap the Sunday loss and break down the signing of Stephon Gilmore and the current offensive state of the Vikings!

We were pleased to be joined by Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan from the DNC in Chicago. We chatted with her about this week’s events, speakers, her becoming one of four co-chairs for the DNC. Also asked her how her and Governor Walz are working together with his new Vice President candidacy and if there are contingency plans in place if Harris and Walz take office.
