After Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president on Wednesday, CBS’s Stephen Colbert reacted on a live edition of The Late Show by claiming that day three of the DNC was “another powerful evening” that “was about remembering that America is good and that we shouldn't give in to hopelessness.”

Colbert did not play the part where Walz falsely implied Republicans were coming after IVF, but speaking of the whole convention, later, Colbert welcomed Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and told him, “One of the things I loved about the speech is that you—the theme tonight was ‘fight for our freedoms.’”
He then asked, “And in your speech, you spoke about how your political freedoms, the ones we enjoy today, gave you a life and a family that were impossible for you to imagine when you were younger. What does it mean for you to see freedom, this message, as the centerpiece of a Democratic campaign, a word that is often co-opted by the right?”
