00:00I was having a little fun and I said, how about Dana White being the press secretary,
00:04you know, press secretary. He's a great guy. He's done an unbelievable job, most successful.
00:13You know, we talked Don King, who's a friend of mine. I got a lot of friends,
00:16but you talk about fight promoters. This is more than a fight promoter. This is a man that's
00:21done the most incredible job anybody's ever seen. UFC, it's like broadcasting the NFL,
00:28the numbers and what he's been able to do. And he's done a lot of press. And I said, you
00:34know what,
00:34I want to elevate you. I'm going to bring you into the press room. And Dana White could be our
00:39press
00:39secretary if you would only take the job. There would never have been. Even Caroline would admit
00:44that Dana is really very unique. The only problem is he'll talk for a little while and then he's
00:50going to beat the hell out of you. So I don't know if Daniel would like that. I don't think
00:54Daniel
00:54wants to take him on. But he he's built an amazing, an amazing machine. He's got a big fight
01:01this weekend at Madison Square Garden with the two greatest women fighters of all time, as far as I'm
01:10concerned. The women's fighting, it's not a nice thing, but they are, they are very tough. When I say
01:16no, no men in women's sports, that's great. I would not want to fight. However, I would not. How would
01:22I do
01:22against one of them? Would I do well? I don't think so. And he said not well. I would. This
01:27would
01:28this would not be a good occurrence anyway. But I thought I'd bring Dana because he loves the idea
01:34and I love the idea. The only thing is we have other things we have to think about. But he's
01:39a
01:39unique, unique person. And he was seeing me anyway, unrelated. And I thought maybe he would say a few
01:47words. And I think he probably liked the job. He loves the country and he would do a hell of
01:52a job.
01:53So you were here. He was here. And Dana, please say a few words. Dana White. Thank you.
02:02I've always wanted to do this. Who has the first question?
02:05I have zero political aspirations. I was in a fight for Zufa boxing in London when he called me and
02:11told me that he had done this. And the last 24 hours of my life has been insane.
02:17But yeah. Good to see you. Yes, ma'am.
02:21I have a question. There was a pound for pound UFC cage match between President Trump and former
02:26President Joe Biden. Same age, same weight, and considering like styles make fights. Could you
02:31give us an analysis of who? The toughest, most resilient human being that I've ever met in my entire
02:36life. Many times during, you know, the last eight, 10 years, whatever it's been, I have told him,
02:42why do you keep doing this? Why are you doing this? When he was going through everything that he went
02:47through. And I mean, as tough and as resilient as I thought he was after he got shot, I, yeah,
02:56he is a one of one unique human being. And yeah.
03:01Would it be a knockout victory for President Trump?
03:04It would be, it would, it would be very bad. Yeah, I think it would be very bad.
03:08I can't believe you actually have questions for me. Yes.
03:10The president has said he might consider a pardon for Pete Rose. What is your advice to the president
03:18about that? I don't advise the president on anything ever. Um, but yeah, I think it's fair.
03:23I think it's fair to pardon Pete Rose. Yes.
03:25I would do that. But why does he need a pardon? He didn't, he was not really convicted of a
03:30government. It was a tax charge, sir. Oh, he did?
03:32Yes, sir. I'd give Pete Rose a pardon.
03:34All right. Let's make it happen.
03:35I think Pete Rose was very mistreated. He was, you know, uh, 4,200 and some odd hits
03:42way ahead of anybody else. A record can never be broken.
03:46And he was caught gambling. Now it's legal. Right?
03:49Right.
03:50He was gambling on his own team there. He wasn't gambling against. That's different.
03:53He was gambling. He shouldn't have done it, but he went through 40 years of hell
03:58and they never, and they should have given him a pardon. They should have given him
04:01into the baseball hall of fame a long time ago. And I spoke to the commissioner about it
04:06and he agreed to do it. And then he waited though, and Pete Rose died. So it didn't help him
04:12too much. But, uh, I would give Pete Rose a pardon.
04:16Mr. President.
04:17Mr. President.
04:19Mr. President, did you tell the president no to the press secretary, Joe?
04:23I don't tell the president no to anything. I, no, I didn't say no. I literally, everybody,
04:28every media outlet was calling me and I didn't want to be disrespectful and say anything until
04:32he, he, uh, he said something first. So.
04:35Mr. President, Mr. President, while you're here.
04:36We were having a very bad press day and I said, I don't know why I thought of his name.
04:41He's been my friend for a long time. I said, you know, I think I'm going to get
04:45Dana White to be my new press secretary. They sent it to a group of the press and that was
04:50it. I'm sort of kidding. And then they wrote the story as though I wasn't kidding and you
04:56were inundated and I was inundated and he was here anyway with, we thought to have a
05:01little fun and we brought Danny here. He would be fantastic. Go ahead.
05:05Mr. President, Dana, first of all, were you surprised by the results of the
05:11midterms last Tuesday? And Mr. President, you on the campaign trail, you had said that
05:17you had stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Why not just declare an end to the
05:23conflict and be done with it?
05:25The President, because we have some great allies there and we have to make sure they're
05:30not hurt. And they would be hurt. They are right now a lot safer than they were six months ago
05:38because Iran has been very much decapitated.
05:41But they're still the bully of them, at least in a little bit. And I see that. We want to
05:45make sure they're okay. And we want to make sure it's a long-term solution, not just a short-term.
05:50They'll never have a nuclear weapon, but we have to make sure that's a long-term. So it's ending quickly,
05:55but we want to take care of people that have been very good to us over the years.
