you talk about people like hulk hogan.t i would say is probably the best speech at this convention so far. there have been speeches that have blown the roof off this place, people who love the conservative politics here, who love maga. hogan came in here, did something different. he was entertaining. he was funny. he made people laugh. even if you don't care for the politics here, you might have entertained you. talk about the former first lady. the family walks out except melania. they add drama. is she here? is she not here? sure enough, the place pauses. melania trump walks in and takes a seat in the vip box next to her husband. what's strange, she will not speak at this convention. she spoke in 2016 at the virtual convention as well. for some reason, she decided not to speak here. she has taken a step back with only doing two events with the log cabin republicans. something close to her heart. i spoke with one of the leaders of the group saying she was involved. this appearance tonight and not much else. people watchin

we expect to hear from hulk hogan and dana white. kailey: you are looking at live images on bloomberg, he's made his entrance and we await his remarks. anne-marie is inside the convention. what is the feeling like inside? anne-marie: absolutely electric. donald trump came in 10 minutes ago to back in black, quite fitting. a man who has been almost exiled is being embraced again and they will crown him king as the official nominee. what fox news is saying is he will not mention biden and individuals close to trump say he is going to talk about unity. not just unity of the republican, but the nation is what he is trying to project. the question is how long this will last and this split screen cannot be more stark. you have biden in isolation in delaware and the former president being embraced in a party thrown for him in milwaukee. joe: we've been allowing for surprises. give us a sense of the speakers schedule. there will be political names as well. >> yeah, we've heard from some. mike pompeo smoked -- or spoke. he wanted to give a co

hulk hogan and the montrÉal man randy savage.see the greatest tagteam of my life standing upon us, getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real americans. even though you guys are real americans, you better get ready because when donald trump becomes the president of the united states, all the real americans are going to be nicknamed trump bites because all of them are going to be running wild for four years. so with the power of donald trump and all of them running wild, america is going to get back on track and like he said, america is going to be great again. [ cheering and applause ] when i look out and i see all the real americans, i think about how donald trump, his family was compromised. when i look out there and i see donald trump, i think about how his business was compromised. but what happened last week when they took a shot at my hero and they tried to kill the next president of the united states. enough was enough and i said let's run wild brother. let trump rule again, let trump mania make america

amy: you have hulk hogan, kid rock grabbing his crotch.ou have ucf, dana white introducing trump and he talked about how important that was. what is it so obvious, as we said, this whole issue of peter thiel' is connection, the billionaires connection to hulk hogan that he is the right-wing billionaire, reportedly spent as much as $10 million to help hulk hogan sue gawker.com. that was the same amount of money thiel spent to help get been selected to the senate in 2022. talk about who peter thiel is and why this matters. >> it is a really important question and i think the money in silicon valley and this dissident right money in silicon valley is moving through a lot right now, including this convention. thiel is a billionaire. he was one of the founders of paypal, one of the most influential investors in other technology companies in silicon valley. he is quite right wing. he came from a sort of libertarian politics. in 2016, he spoke at the republican national convention and his support of trump at the time was crucial to grounding him

hulk hogan and dana white.s has the feel of a big game right before a kickoff, and arena right before a game seven. there is an electricity in the building and i think trump is going to meet that and i think he's going to propel joe biden out of this race and trump into at least the biggest win. everybody needs to go vote. that we've seen it since 2008. a shattering of the democrat identity politics coalition is coming and this guys going to do it. >> jesse: his speech a very eloquent night. his personal story, what does he call his grandmother. >> me mom. >> as a protector of him and a fighter she was, she did it because of love so that's probably how you would square the fight and the strength because as a president, as a family man or woman you fight and you protect the people who you love and that's probably going to be the thrust i think the president takes from jd into thursday. >> i think that's exactly right. he's not going to mention joe biden but he referred to joe biden by another name in his 2020 sp

you had hulk hogan. you had kid rock and you had ufc president dana white.take a listen. >> i want the world to know that donald trump is a real american hero. and i'm proud to support my hero as the next president of this united states. >> i know president trump. i know president trump is a fighter. i have been saying this since 2015. this guy never ever gives up. >> bill: big picture, this convention speech really felt like a trump rally, again, going more than 90 minutes. evidence went off script. he ad-libbed much of it. trump is going to have a real campaign rally. that's the going to be tomorrow in grand rapids, michigan. it is going to happen, guys, exactly one week after an assassin tried to take his life in pennsylvania. send it back to you. > >> steve: bill is right. bret baier is going to be with us shortly. he said he had just talked to the former president. the former president's comments were going to be his prepared speech. 55 to 60 minutes long. ultimately they were 93 minutes. 33 minutes of ad-libbing. and what is interesting is we knew that

hulk hogan and president of the ufc, dana white. you may know white from the 2022 incident caught on camera when he physically assaulted his wife at a nightclub in mexico. and kid rock of course. he also played the 1996 rnc. with the performance of a nearly 25-year-old song. that is the new republican party. mckay coppins is a staff writer for the atlantic who joins us live. george conway is a conservative lawyer and former republican here with us in new york. mckay, we will start with you because you are in the arena right now. it is an important part of the unity that yes, there is unity in the republican party. it is unity born of a successful purge of any remnant of dissident factions. >> trump's supporters and allies are pretty proud of that fact. conversations i was having just hours ago with some of the delegates, they were kind of saying to me, i am sure glad mitt romney is not here. they were like i don't think he would fare too well here and then they started listing off some of the same republicans you just named and were

on a surprise but i _ hulk hogan... i cannot wait. on a surprise but i was _ hulk hogan...y that. i cannot wait to i growing up. i'm not surprised by that. i cannot wait to see i by that. i cannot wait to see the hulk- — by that. i cannot wait to see the hulk- i _ by that. i cannot wait to see the hulk. i was _ by that. i cannot wait to see the hulk. i was involved - by that. i cannot wait to see the hulk. i was involved in l the hulk. i was involved in wrestling _ the hulk. i was involved in wrestling as _ the hulk. i was involved in wrestling as well. - the hulk. i was involved in wrestling as well. wwf i the hulk. i was involved in - wrestling as well. wwf turning into wwe- _ wrestling as well. wwf turning into wws. that _ wrestling as well. wwf turning into wwe. that was _ wrestling as well. wwf turning into wwe. that was the - wrestling as well. wwf turning into wwe. that was the time l wrestling as well. wwf turning | into wwe. that was the time of my life, go into wrestling matches when i was a kid. and it wasn't fake, i do know what anybody is talking about. going t

and similar to hulk hogan, he urged americans to see trump as a fighter. and i'm not telling you what choice to make, and i'm not telling you what to think. i'm telling you what i know. i know america needs a strong leader in the white house, needs a strong america. trump once again made his family a central part of the convention. we saw the former first lady, melania trump, out there, as well as his son, eric, really trying to tell the crowd that they appreciate all the support that they've gotten in the last week, but that they realize they still have a big job ahead of them. trace, we talked to a number of delegates throughout this convention who said they were impressed with how it was organized. no major hiccups. but now, of course, comes the hard work that they're going to face off when they get back into these battleground states, just like the candidates will this weekend. >> mark meredith, great work out there, mark, thank you. let's bring in the co-host of the everybody settle down podcast, eric messersmith can take a look at the media stuff for

. >> i get that, susan, but hulk hogan? it felt more like, last call in vegas, then it did, you know, showtime on the main stage here at radio city. it did not seem like trump was at the top of his game last night? >> the hulk hogan thing was in some respects a very fitting opening to the finale of this convention because it was a joke, it was a circus. and some people might buy tickets to that show, my guess is that most people wouldn't buy tickets to that show. it's not taylor swift, and it's probably not a majority either, of young people or people in this country who want to go to that show. i did find, it was an interesting contrast in this year's convention from eight years ago say in cleveland, when there was still a sense of a party whose future and soul was up for grabs. there was a fight still on at the republican convention back when trump became the nominee. ted cruz gave that speech and said vote your conscience and said wouldn't endorse trump and then you have this time, it was a less friction filled atmospher

hulk hogan bringing down the house by revving up trumpamaniacs after ripping his shirt off. rock serenading the crowd with a pro trump twist on his song. so much more than that but first, donald trump needing the moment during his big night at the rnc. the former president delivering a heartfelt message of unity just days after dodging a bullet. trump sounding like a changed man as he recounted his bone-chilling brush with death. >> i will tell you exactly what happened and you'll never hear it from me a second time because it's actually too painful to tell. i said to myself, wow, what was that? it can only be a bullet. and moved my right hand to my ear. brought it down. my hand was covered with blood. just absolutely blood all over the place. i immediately knew it was very serious that we were under attack. i'm not supposed to be here tonight. not supposed to be here. [crowd chanting] >> thank you. but i'm not. and i'll tell you, i stand before you in this arena only by the grace of almighty god. >> jeanine: former president trump making sure to honor the rally goers injure

hulk hogan and oh, yeah, randy savage.ut you know, something, i see the greatest tag team of my life standing upon us getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real americans. you know even though you guys are real americans, you better get americans because when donald j. trump becomes the president of the united states all the real americans are going to be nicknamed trumpites because they are going to be running wild for four years. so with the power of donald j. trump and america is going to get back on track and donald trump said, america is going to be great again. [cheers and applause] you know, when i look out and i see all the real americans, i think about how donald trump, his family was compromised. when i look out there and i see donald trump and i think how his business was compromised. but what happened last week, when they took a shot at my hero and they tried to kill the next president of the united states, enough was enough. and i said let's run wild brother. and let's trumpman inch a and ma

electric speeches from hulk hogan. not his birth name. ufc president dana white. >> enough was enough. i said let trump-a-mania run wild, brother. let trump-a-mania rule again. let trump-a-mania make america great again! >> we have all seen it with our own eyes. i'm in the tough guy business. and this man is the toughest most resilient human being that i have ever met in my life. steve and the crowd went wild when melania trump showed up and it was her first public appearance at the rnc last night. and donald trump's granddaughter, caroline, stealing america's hearts, sitting on grandpa's lap as they watched her father, eric trump address the crowd. meanwhile, tomorrow, donald trump and j.d. vance will be heading to michigan for their first rally together and wind up in ohio in his hometown. >> all of this coming as new reports claim president biden could be dropping out of the race as soon as this weekend. former president obama reportedly telling allies biden needs to reconsider his race for the white house. as at least 22 democrats are

. >> reporter: the final night of the convention, a macho display of trumpism, hulk hogan. >> let trump-a-mania run wild, brother! >> reporter: it also featured harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric and extreme police proposals, including calling for a massive military-aided effort to deport millions of people. my colleague, martha raddatz, has learned that former president trump had a call today with ukrainian president zelenskyy. it was zelenskyy who initiated the call. it lasted about 15 or 20 minutes, and a source close to the ukrainian president described the call as, quote, warm and respectful. whit? >> whit: jon karl for us tonight, thank you. >>> turning now to the assassination attempt of former president trump. chilling new images tonight taken by local police snipers show thomas crooks was on their radar an hour before the shooting, and officers may have been able to stop him six minutes before he opened fire. here's abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas. >> reporter: these are the new images law enforcement took that helped set off a search for thomas matthew crooks less than an h

we have got hulk hogan. >> definition of fun. >> and what's you going to do, brother, when the largestg to do with hulk-a-mania, the wwe network and ruffle mania 30 runs wild on you, brother. >> there you go. welcome back to the pfizer forum in milwaukee. 12 time world tramp i don't know professional wrestler member of the sports hall of fame. actor, musician, and this evening a speaker right here at the republican convention. we welcome hulk hogan to "special report." great to see you. >> it is an honor to be here. i can tell you that it is unbelievable. >> bret: you have this fired up crowd behind you. you are going to speak to them. >> i can't wait. body slamming the giant at russell mania. >> why are you here? >> bret, i got tired of remaining silent. i sat back and watched the borders collapse. i watched the economy collapse. i watched the price of gas, the price of food. everything just do upside down flip. and when they took a shot at my hero, i realized i couldn't be silent anymore. i had to step up, i had to be a real american just like all these real americans here donald tru

offers a speech to the delegates, followed by tucker carlson, and finally, pro wrestler hulk hogan andis appearance at the convention. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome former director of the united states office of trade and manufacturing policy, peter navarro. [cheers and applause] gov. desantis: thanks>> i wondee my bag i had that i have there. this morning, i did walk out of a federal president -- federal prison in miami. joe biden and his department of injustice put me there. tonight i'm here with you in this beautiful city of milwaukee. i've got a very simple message for you. if they can come for me, if they can come for donald trump, be careful, they will come for you. if we don't control our government, their government will control us. if we don't control all three branches of our government, their government will put some of us like me and steve bannon in prison and control the rest of us. here's how it went, here is how i got in prison, the legislative branch care for me, a criminal first. your favorite democrat, nancy pelosi created your favorite committee, the januar

last night hulk hogan made an appearance of ripping off his shirt and flexing his muscles.t was the most masculine performance at the convention since randy weingarten. after revealing that he had contracted covid-19 on wednesday job it but -- biden looked tired and weak. but as of wednesday doctors have upgraded his condition to terrible. despite repeated calls to step down by many prominent democrats, joe still refuses to go. them, this guy still keeps hanging on says one man. a new report claims that 65 % of democrats want president biden to pull out. 100 % of joe biden wish hunter had pulled out. thank you. airports were shut down and flights were grounded all over the country today due to an it outage, joe biden blamed this man. apparently the trumpet shooter threatened to put bombs and school bathrooms years before his failed assassination attempt. i know what that is like we have had a guy blowing up our bathrooms four years. chris christie was a guest on the view this morning. he only agreed to do it because it makes him look thin it. thank you. president biden is p

. >> tyrus: ec3 this originally was a shot at because hulk hogan made an appearance at the republicaned his shirt off at the time and they want us to know that there are other ways to be a man. sent never by and then. your thoughts? >> i think those articles are written by david french at the end of the day without anything called french. >> so, i think hulk hogan is americana, it is at camp, it is fun. but i really did think that we were not supposed to be telling people how to express their gender identities. so this was confusing to me. because why? isn't is his business to express his gender as he pleases? that is how i thought we were working things. >> just turn it around on him and do a... >> tyrus: joe, i feel like you can identify a lot with guys like hogan, and myself. so it was very upsetting. >> they said you don't have to be like hulk hogan to be a man so it was comforting to me because i do not have the grip strength to rip through a t-shirt. >> tyrus: pussy where buttons. >> i do it is not quite the same. but i think it was... but with many were beating get in a swim ra

hulk hogan, ressler. dana white, the ceo of the ultimate fighting championship.c trump will be speaking. franklin graham, the evangelist, the son of billy graham. that is the lineup tonight. we will go down to the convention floor. susan swain is there. susan: night number 4. and the big speech by former president trump. the place is a buzz. there is a lot of noise and it is pretty fast of down here. hours to go until mr. trump's speech. i will speak to max cowman who is covering this. this is your first convention. you are a reporter. what are you seeing? max: the main theme is unity. the republican party feels good about their chances of winning in november. all united around former president donald trump. he will speak tonight. that is a stark contrast to democrats debating over their own party's future and if president biden can run again. here in milwaukee, at least everyone seems to be on the same page, at least publicly. >> people will have to turn out votes in their own districts and organize people. that sense of unity becomes important. >> for sure. wha

e witm >> all right, here with more wrestling legend hulk hogan.ei was in the building.as e it was electric. anle amazingctand amaz speech.h >> i don't know how much of that was were preparedng you remarks versus you just being you. what was it?? >> well, brother, you know, it was a lecture theater lastit nigh was t and my partner that wasr with me, he said the stage manageented tor commented to hi, he hasn't gone to the h teleprompter for 6 minutes.t i'm surprised they haven't talked to off the stage yeoft. so brother was i was way in and incline and stephanie and justoo doing audibles. now i was listening to the crowd and feelt in the car was e being in the wrestling ring. >> yeah.>> you >> you know, you said something that really caught my attention. try aught as an entertainer, you try to stay out of politics . you went on to say, but after everything that's happened to oursa s happen country over the past four years, everything that happened last weekend. i can no longer stay silent. exi >> explain. well, grover, as an entertainend ,you want t

h and they were kind of surprised to see hulk hogan. is you know, at least it's something different. sofferent. is, you know, revolt different from all, you know. w and so i got worried right there that he wasn't goinorg be able to get it. >> okay. you got it. so luke russer : so lukt tweeteder something that i thought was interesting where he said, okayi . he said, okay, i. he said, the clips are already out there and people won't. >> who didn'le won't- thatt tuns won't hear about, oh, trump went on blah, blah, blah. they'll se e clips of hulk hogan and kid rock and think that this was a party. >> it was a party. you ha d to be there. it was a party. the energy was incredible. the placncredible was electric. donald trump came out a hero. i mean, this the most unified we've ever seen the republican party. there wasn't, a rhino inside par who dared say anything. >> and you know what? it wasty party. >> this was classic donald trump. >> jesd, nites rstan everybody unites in a party. >> but with donald trumpat, he's been an entertainer. i

hulk hogan spoke.ts, fight, fight, fight, replicating what happened with the attempted assassination. and that slogan we were showing there, on the wall, they're not after me, they're after you, i'm just standing in the way. what image does all of this project to the rest of the world? >> well it projects to the rest of the world that the united states is no different from any other country where you're getting a populous leader emerging. we've seen this happening in france. we had a -- the french had a near miss with the national rally. a very long standing populist isolationist party that lead them to the snap elections and populist parties emerging in the european union and parliament elections and on the rise in german and we've seen in brazil and a populist different leader and mexico, you could look around the world and see this same phenomenon. as you said, look at it as a foreign country. we would be putting the united states in that kind of not the -- the pantheon of the populous countries wha

as hulk hogan would have _ fire as well. as hulk hogan would have said, _ fire as well. hogan would have said, "brothers fire as well. as hulk hogan - would have said, "brothers and sisters, everybody needs their red meat." and these delegates tonight got their red meat. what role do you think eric trump is playing in the build—up? the whole picture that we're seeing tonight? well, you saw the crowd get excited. you saw the "fight, fight, fight" and the chants continue to build up to the moment when president trump's going to take the stage again. this is entertainment again. again, every single minute of what's happening tonight has been scripted out and been laid out, practised, and it's been executed very well. when you have an individual who's as well known as donald trump is and has been president on top of that, are there certain challenging in a way in what you can say? because the whole country, the whole world knows who donald trump is at this stage. knows who donald trump is at this stage-— this stage. that's why i think it's so important _ this stage. that's w

that's why you've got dana white and you've got hulk hogan and so many other people. i agree with jesse, j.d. vance. i love hearing about mamaw. ten years sober. so many americans can relate to that. drunk, addiction, overdoses, poisonings. that's a passion of his and he's going to address it. i saw the mother of the young boy who was killed by fentanyl. as soon as she said we have to declare them terrorist organizations, it's almost as though there was a rock and under j.d. you know they're going to be dealing with the drug problem which the biden administration has ignored at the border. the democrats cannot stop talking about the contrast between biden and trump, but we will see who the strong person is. we will see tonight that he's bigger than the democrats who will be more than just words. they are not going to attack democrats, and believe me in terms of his own personal grievances, he's got many of them but he's going to prove them wrong. he'll make them eat their words. he ripped up his speech, it'll be a speech of unity. >> dana: it's not just the speech but

hulk hogan. >> the rock. >> right, this is a very testosterone-heavy, you know, ticket.harris are two tough women. my instinct is, ooh, i don't know that would work. against this ticket it would. i think it changes the conversation in the fall. >> i also think generation seekers -- >> the safe picks are going to be governors. >> yeah. >> andy bashir is a safe pick, mark kelly, maybe a josh shapiro is a safe pick. bashir, two-time senator, son of a politician. easiest person to put on a ticket if you're building aen airplane that takes off, he's safe. >> i'm giving an argument from whitmer a politically engaged family. >> right. >> and here's one for thing for whitmer she actually comes from a swing state. >> fair enough. >> getting doom and gloom, talking about inflation and using headlines and audio. all right. get ready for tonight. gentlemen, thank you very much. >>> still ahead what the fbi says it has learned about the internet search by the shooter. >>> plus, what went wrong? calls for the secret service director to step down. jeh johnson joins us in what should ha

other speakers tonight include professional wrestling legend, hulk hogan, and ufc president, dana white. >> last night, trump's pick for vice president, jd vance, got a chance to introduce himself to the american public. natalie vance is in milwaukee with what to expect when the former president takes the stage, tonight. >> reporter: ryan and liz, one republican expectation today said she wants to hear how saturday's shooting has changed the former presidents perspective. cbs news has learned this is expected to be a very personal speech, with perhaps a softer tone. >> reporter: republicans gobbled in the fourth and final night of the national convention, eager to hear former president trump accept the party's presidential nomination. >> what do you want to see from donald trump tonight? >> i would like to see a kinder, gentler trump. i want to make sure that he has taken a moment to realize the magnitude of the event he went through on saturday. >> trump says he rewrote the speech following last week's attempted assassination to focus more on unity. >> reporter: what do you want to hea

hulk hogan up on the stage and want to show you this moment where he said he had had enough over the last four years and after what he saw on saturday he said he wanted to make himself very clear. i think he's with the trump fans team. his wardrobe choice, the crowd loved that moment and look at donald trump beaming as hulk hogan was addressing the crowd. we'll hear from dana white, the head of ufc, the ultimate fighting championship. he's 54 years old, also very close to donald trump. he will be introducing him. we just saw jon karl, linsey davis, martha raddatz, we just saw the former first lady enter the hall for the first time, and that was quite a moment inside this hall, and a poignant moment for anyone who has been thinking about this family and what it's been like the last couple of days. think about it, it's only been five day, linsey, since the attempt on donald trump's life. >> again, as we've discussed, i think we all saw melania trump in a different light through that message, really, giving more of an endearing side to him as a husband, as a dad, kid rock now in the bui

singer kid rock is replaced on stage by wrestling star hulk hogan, who calls the republican candidate a true american hero and more accurately defines what is happening in the hall that evening. trump mania, he screams, and tears at his t-shirt with the stars and stripes. underneath this is another t-shirt with two names on it: trump and vance. the vice-presidential candidate will now also have to become a participant in the election campaign. trumpomania, which by the time of voting at such a pace can reach religious worship, like many other speakers, journalist tucker carloson calls trump’s salvation nothing less than. miraculously, when he stood up after this shot, covered in blood and raised his hand up, at that moment i thought, a change has come, this is no longer a person, i think it was divine intervention, now donald trump is no longer just a political candidate, a former or the future president, before us was the leader of the nation. all these days, trump was accompanied by his family at the convention, only former first lady milania was not present. she appears on the last

and in contrast to say hulk hogan or apprentice reruns, beyonce is very now.t this week team usa debuting her official support with a slide show for the paris olympics. you can see there. and beyonce devoted fans basically across the world in every demographic and age group. pop culture is a language young people speak fluently. they were key to the winning coalition. harris knows she needs them now. and most voters don't like it if it's fake posturing. i will note there are maga fans claim they're cool with jd vance going from calling trump, quote, america's hitler to now being on the ticket, but generally, honesty is better. and we can see the signs that harris comes by her moment, this music and cultural moment pretty honestly. before there were any indications she might be atop the ticket this year, she was very tapped into beyonce as i mentioned. she used her platform to elevate artists and art forms that washington has long ignored. she rejected the d.c. controversy talk about hip hop and hosted her own 50th celebration for the art form. we reported that
