00:00The others are fake, just fake news. They've got to get their act together. So bad for our country, so sick, actually.
00:06So Washington, D.C. is really doing unbelievably well, and the Kennedy Center that we're fixing at is just there all morning with contractors.
00:14We're making it unbelievable. It's going to be unbelievable. It's got great bones, but it needs a lot of work.
00:20The World Cup draw will set up the group stage of competition.
00:2448 teams will play in 104 games across 16 North American cities from Seattle to Vancouver to Atlanta to Miami.
00:33It's going to be so exciting for our country.
00:35The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be one of the largest and most complex events.
00:41This will be one of the greatest events. In a way, it's like Johnny said it better.
00:45It's like having many Super Bowls in a short period of time, because each one of these games essentially is a Super Bowl.
00:51Some of them are bigger than Super Bowls, actually.
00:54But they're essentially, each one of these games is like a Super Bowl.
00:57The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the largest, most complex set of events in sports history.
01:05And the Kennedy Center will give it a phenomenal kickoff, and we'll be involved.
01:10And they'll be working over there for quite a bit of time.
01:13We have it all set that they can stay there for the big events, the big press conferences, and everything else.
01:17And they'll be in a very safe capital. That'll be nice.
01:20You don't have to worry about walking down the street, Johnny, okay?
01:22But you can handle yourself.
01:24I could.
01:26Already, FIFA is projecting 6 million loyal fans will attend the World Cup events next year,
01:31and 6 billion more are going to be watching back home.
01:33And they think the $6 billion number is going to be actually a low number.
01:37And this will drive more than $30 billion into the U.S. economy and create 185,000 American jobs in a short period of time, too.
01:47No sporting event attracts more attention, more fans, more viewers, or more revenue than the FIFA World Cup.
01:53And again, I'll just say it's the World Cup, and it's the biggest thing there is in sports, and we have it.
01:58And I got it in my first admission.
