00:12The President, what made you suggest Dana White, and are you serious about it, or are you kidding around?
00:17Well, if you looked at it, you saw the assistance I put. I posted the greatest wrestlers and UFC fighters
00:26in the world, right?
00:27Like Khabib, like Justin Gaethje, who's phenomenal. And you see a lot of rough faces there.
00:35And you would have thought that people would have said, he's having a good time.
00:39I will tell you, I was only kidding. But Dana loves the idea. And there's only one Dana. He's great.
00:46I don't know.
00:47He would be — you wouldn't mess around with him so much. But — so, I was kidding, of course.
00:54When you look at the fighters that I put in, that's why I said, some don't come from our country.
00:59They come from parts unknown. They come from a lot of areas that are very rough areas.
01:07But — so, I was kidding. But I think Dana likes the idea. And he is a very capable guy.
01:14So, he's actually coming tomorrow. Of course I was kidding. And you could see that because I put all of
01:19the great fighters as his assistants,
01:21that they're all going to come with him. But it was — it was just a little fun.
01:26But Dana is actually coming tomorrow — actually on other — for other reasons.
01:31I think he's going to be in Washington. So, he's going to come over and see me.
01:35That was an example of something where I was kidding. And then people said,
01:39You know, that's actually a pretty good idea. Yeah, go ahead, please.
