On the fourth night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, it was probably the most epic and best convention ever in the history of the RNC. With people watching at home and online, you could see in the comments that everyone was really eager to see President Trump speak. They all were saying that this was the best one they’d ever watched. The people who spoke did an incredible job. It was a night full of memorable speeches, including those by Tucker Carlson, Hulk Hogan, Franklin Graham, Eric Trump, Dana White, and President Donald J. Trump.
Here are some highlights from the night:
Besides speakers, there was some notable music from Kid Rock’s new song, “Fight! Fight!”
When Tucker Carson came up to speak, he talked about the assassination attempt on Trump’s life and said, “The nation is different, the world is different. Donald Trump is different.”
“When he stood up after being shot in the face bloodied and put his hand up, I thought at that moment that was a transformation.”
“I think it was divine intervention…”
Tucker also went on to say, “A leader is the bravest man. That’s who the leader is. That is true in ALL human organizations. That is a law of nature. And in that moment, Donald Trump — months before the presidential election — became the leader of this nation.”
It was so true because Trump just showed the world he was indeed a leader being the bravest man when he broke out of the Secret Service huddle and raised his fist in defiance, he didn’t break down; he yelled for America to “Fight!” he didn’t break down and cower; he didn’t act traumatized; he didn’t tremble, he showed how brave and strong his will was and that was a reflection of the Spirit of 1776 that founded this country, that was the spirit America has had in its darkest moments, to unite and fight for Freedom, justice, and liberty for all.
The only problem with Tucker’s speech is that he misused the word Democracy. Article IV Section 4 of the United States Constitution states that we are a Republic, and nowhere in the Constitution does it say the U.S. is a Democracy.

Also making a notable appearance was Hulk Hogan, a retired wrestling champion who was a household name during the 1980s. He was hesitant to come forward as a Trump supporter because, like a lot of famous people, they were afraid to talk politics, but after seeing Trump get back on his feet after being knocked down, so to speak, it floored him not to be afraid to say something. At one point, he said angrily that they “took a shot at my hero.” Hulk next ripped his shirt open like wrestlers used to on stage in the arena. Many people have posted online comments that they thought Biden would need a diaper change after seeing this. He also told people who he really was, that his name was Terry Bollea, and he turned off his stage persona and talked like his usual self.
As he flexed his muscles, he yelled, “Enough was enough, and I said, let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again!” He also said that with Trump as president and the “Trump-ites” support, “America is going to get back on track. America is gonna be great again.”

Franklin Graham was also a notable speaker as he called all in attendance to prayer, but everyone online in the comments was praying along and typing the words “AMEN!” in the comments too.
He, like many others, was stunned by God’s divine intervention. He had this to say:
“When President Trump rose from that platform, he rose with his fist raised in strength, showing America his unshakable resolve to fight for them in this nation.
I cannot explain why God would save one life and allow another one to be taken. I don’t have the answer to that. But one thing I do know is that God loves us, and he wants us to be with him in heaven one day.
And that’s through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. You see, the Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

It was an honor to be asked to come as a private citizen, say a few words, and pray this evening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the Republican National Convention. I prayed that we would come together and trust in God for our nation’s future. Watch… and #PRAY for our nation. pic.twitter.com/hDjNPUQaT2

After this, Eric Trump, Donald’s son who runs his family business, came up. It was touching to see Donald Trump holding his granddaughter, Carolina, next to Eric’s wife, Lara, holding Trump’s grandson, Luke. These were scenes you’d never see in the lamestream media. At one point, Trump looked like he had tears in his eyes. His son also acknowledged God’s divine intervention.
One of the most memorable quotes from Eric’s speech was when he said, “To the homeless veteran sleeping under a bridge as illegal immigrants are housed in the most expensive hotels in NY, I’m sorry, we know it’s wrong and we will fix it.”

Give Eric Trump a listen. Speaking from the heart about seeing his dad almost taken out in Butler, PA. A rousing finish to support Donald J. Trump.

Before President Trump’s speech, Trump’s good friend, Dana White, president of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), gave a speech in support. He introduced Trump as the “toughest, most resilient human being” he’s ever known. He said that Trump didn’t just want what was best for the American people, but for ALL the American people, and he said, “I know he’s running for president to save our American dream. I’m living the American dream, and I know it is very real. Whether you were born in this country or came here from someplace else, this is the last real land of opportunity. I know President Trump is fighting to save the American dream, and that’s what’s at stake in this election.” This was his acknowledgment that despite being wealthy, he cares for his fellow Americans who are struggling and hurting because of Biden’s failed economic policies that have hit Americans’ pockets hard. Then, with the heart of a true fighter, Dana said, “I know I’m going to choose strength and security. I know I’m going to choose opportunity and prosperity. I know I’m going to choose real American leadership and a real American bad*ss.”

"I just want to read to you a little piece of what President Trump wrote to me...'Think of it as the biggest fight you ever had. A fight for our country, and even the world.'"@danawhite @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/IPH5rgyRmY
Next, President Trump came out to the stage; as Lee Greenwood finished singing, “God Bless the U.S.A.” When the curtains opened, and the lights behind him spelled out Trump, he stood there as the crowd roared, but it wasn’t until he spoke that the crowd was on its feet; it was more epic than any speech President Trump has ever made.
His tone was that of a changed man and it was very somber. He gave his formal acceptance speech with a message of love for God and unity that would cross party lines in the U.S. when he said, “I am running to be president for all America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America. So, tonight, with faith and devotion, I proudly accept your nomination for President of the United States.”
It was epic how he worded his purpose for running because he knew God would approve of it. He saw it as righteous when he said, “Our resolve is unbroken and our purpose unchanged to deliver a government that serves the American people better than ever before. Nothing will stop me in this mission because our vision is righteous, and our cause is pure. We will not break. We will not bend.”
Again, in a somber tone, he said repeatedly, “I’m not supposed to be here tonight.” The crowd yelled in unison back, “Yes you are!” and Trump argued with him that he really wasn’t supposed to be there, but kept his tone somber and humbly replied, “I stand before you in this arena only by the Grace of Almighty God.”
It was an extraordinary moment when he acknowledged this and how so many people shouted, “AMEN!” in the comments in online chats, as many Christians agreed with him that this was God’s grace.
Also, it was a very touching and beautiful moment when he walked up to pay his respects to firefighter Corey Compertore; he walked up to his firefighting jacket and fireman’s hat, kissed it, and put his hands on the jacket’s shoulders. As he paid his full respect, he told everyone that Corey shielded his wife and daughter from the bullet that got him and read the quote from John 15:13 from the Holy Bible, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
President Trump wanted to go to his funeral, but due to security reasons with the woods being next to the church, security told him it wouldn’t be a good idea; he did say in his speech that he called all of the family members and said he called the two men who were upgraded from critical to serious condition in the hospital too.
He went on to unite the nation further when he addressed everyone, not just Republicans, saying, “As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart…Despite such a heinous attack, we unite this evening more determined than ever. Our resolve is unbroken, and our purpose is unchanged—to deliver a government that serves the American people.”
Also, he went over the charts again that he had been trying to go over at the time he was shot five days prior, which showed the border invasion numbers increasing like crazy after Biden took office and did away with many of the protections he had in place. It was as if being shot erased some of his memory because he said that he didn’t get to look at it, but it was his looking at it and turning his head that he said a few days ago that helped to save his life. It was interesting when he turned around to see the chart on multiple screens behind him and to see his reaction. Watch the full video below to see how he reacted.
Also, in closing, it was evident again that he was a changed man when he said, “If the events of last Saturday make anything clear, it is that every single moment that we have on earth is a gift from God.” 🙏
At the end of the convention, Trump’s family took to the stage, and the balloons fell, opera singer Christopher Maccio, a tenor who performed ‘Nessun Dorma’ (which means “None shall sleep”) and ‘America the Beautiful.’ Many people in the comments as the live stream played said how excellent his singing was and how beautiful his voice was. He reminded a lot of people of Luciano Pavarotti. It was a very, very classy way to end the night. He is the same singer who performed “Ave Maria” at the White House when Trump was first President.
