oprah winfrey. we have a surprise guest tonight. oprah winfrey will be part of the program tonight.king about the harris-walls ticket . she has this history in politics with the obama's and biden. i think the energy in here is going to be out of sight. >> do we get a free car? >> i was just wondering. >> can i ask you because you were talking about the palpable and energy of black women in this room that has been so essential to the harris campaign. oprah go so much broader than that, touching every demographic we are talking about. white voters , including. what is the impact of this? payment number one, you keep the energy going. enthusiasm matters in close races. number two , the obama's last night and oprah winfrey tonight. america loves them. donald trump mispronounces her name. she is trying to disqualify her. they are saying, what is the problem? in oprah's case, you invited me to your home every day for years. >> that development, oprah will be speaking tonight. jamie is reporting as we are digging for more information about governor walz's's speech which will be the key to

we talked about surprises earlier and oprah was a big surprise tonight. how was the energy tonight inside the united center? when you compare to what's been going on all week long? >> i mean, i think there's been a sense that in that last hour, you never know what's going to happen. so certainly when michelle and barack obama delivered their speeches last night, the arena was captivated and the energy was certainly palpable. there were tears in people's eyes and much of the same tonight as we heard from oprah. oprah winfrey, there were a lot of fans of her in the crowd and the energy was obviously very loud for that. certainly the same type of energy that we saw for former president clinton. so now the bar has been set for that type of energy. we will see what the democrats deliver tomorrow. >> the biggest night yet ahead. all right. greg lee reporting live from chicago. thank you greg. now, after the governor's speech, i spoke with kathryn pearson, an associate professor of political science at the university of minnesota. she said walz's rise through th

[ cheers ] >> reporter: minnesota governor tim walz, former high school teacher and football coach, gave what he called a pep talk while accepting the nomination for vice president as his family at times tearfully looked out. >> there with intime to sleep -- there will be time to sleep when you're dead. we're going to leave it on the field. that's how we'll move forward and turn the page on donald trump. >> reporter: day three themed "a fight for our freedoms" featured speeches from heavy hitters. >> kamala harris will work to solve our problems, seize our opportunities, ease our fears. >> reporter: also some of the party's rising stars -- >> true patri

i would say that oprah winfrey last night, which into pit, would you rather have rfk, oprah winfrey?oprah winfrey every day of the week, and don't forget last night, we haven't mentioned them, but the big dog big dog got on stage last night, bill clinton. bill clinton, you've got to let the big dog eat. if we don't put them on the campaign trail and he ate up some time that's what he's got he's earned it his all right, guys. >> thank you very much. bakari and alyssa really appreciate it still to come they made waves for speaking out against for president george w bush. and cnn has now exclusively learning the chicks used to be known as a dictator now they're, the chicks are set to make another political statements. they went us there's fall comedy it's common to cnn what could go wrong i got news for you for me or saturday, september 14, nine on cnn if you have generalized myasthenia gravis picture, what life could look like with gart high, true low. a subcutaneous injection that takes about 30 to 90 seconds for one thing. >> could it mean more time for you? they've got high, true? l

then with oprah winfrey, it doesn't get much bigger than ms. o. to have her speak directly to independents and so many people who admire and respect her is just what we need. we have had it all week. and so there's been someone on that stage for everyone. no matter what your politics are, no matter what your feelings are about this election cycle, someone on that stage has spoken to you. >> that seems very deliberate as well. the speeches featuring senator murphy and a member of law enforcement talking about border control, border safety, border security, and kamala harris' efforts as part of the biden administration to solve that, trump's role in politicizing it, olivia troy gave a very powerful speech. there's been a republican every night. adam kinzinger speaks on the final night. this really is the projection of a coalition movement. >> that's what they are really, really wanting to underscore here. i have been talking to both convention sources and campaign source ps. they tell me this night apart from being a big night for vice president har

so many throwing their support behind the democratic ticket, including oprah winfrey. here to break it down, tony, give us the highlights and i'm guessing oprah was one of the highlights. >> reporter: yes, and oprah really did shock the audience, her appearance was kept under wraps and when she came out, it was a shotgun of applause, it was a short video proceeding and she just appeared and it was followed by applause. in the speech, big things of unity, joy, freedom, but there was a concerted effort to say i'm an independent voter and an american and i'm going to reach through my television right now, grab you by the lapels and tell you this is about character and values. they are the ones that represent the values of america and the character you need in the oval office. bill clinton also had a great address, with similar points and his reputation as a speaker precedes him, he has diminished somewhat by age, but he made the point, he is still younger than donald trump, but also passing the torch, there is more of a generational handoff going on among democrats that i

that is what oprah said. running for office and we can vote for him, what an amazing moment. across wisconsin people are feeling that way tonight. >> it was definite excitement in that room. i love hearing what was going on in the delegation. you know i am not going to let you off of the hook about this photo. because one of the great things about convention is people learn about traditions and states and what is going on in the states. there we have a photo, that is you, ben wikler. if for people that don't know about wisconsin, what is going on in that photo? >> i am wearing a cheese head, which in wisconsin is a customary form of dress, if you want done a wisconsin street, as people will be wearing a cheese head. it is like what the fedora wasn't 1920s new york. i recommend people visit wisconsin, with a cheese head in hand, because if you walk out the play not wearing one, it will seem a little weird to someone living in the airport. >> there we go. everyone, we all want cheese hats. we are getting other
