00:00I was having a little fun, and I said, how about Dana White being the press secretary?
00:05You know, press secretary. He's a great guy. He's done an unbelievable job, most successful.
00:13You know, we talk Don King, who's a friend of mine. I got a lot of friends. But you talk
00:17about
00:17fight 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 and 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 no,
01:17no men in women's sports, that's great. I would not want to fight. However, I would not. How would I
01:22do
01:22against one of them? Would I do well? I don't think so. And he said not. Well, I would get
01:27this
01:27would this would not be a good occurrence anyway. But I thought I'd bring data because
01:33he loves the idea. And I love the idea. The only thing is we have other things we have to
01:37think
01:38about. But he's a unique, a unique person. And he was seeing me anyway, unrelated. And I thought
01:45maybe he would say a few words. And I think he probably liked the job. He loves the country and
01:51he
01:52would do a hell of a job. So you were here. He was here. And Dana, please say a few
01:56words.
01:57Dana 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
02:11and told 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. I think there was a pound for pound UFC cage match between President Trump and
02:25former President Joe Biden. Same age, same weight, and considering like styles make fights. Could
02:31you give us an analysis of who?
02:33The toughest, most resilient human being that I've ever met in my entire life.
02:36Many times during, you know, the last eight, ten years, whatever it's been, I have told
02:42him, why do you keep doing this? Why are you doing this? When he was going through everything
02:46that he went through. And, I mean, as tough and as resilient as I thought he was after he
02:52got shot. I, yeah. He is a one of one unique human being. And, yeah.
03:01Would it be a knockout victory? A knockout victory for President Trump?
03:04It would be, it would be very bad. Yeah, I think it would be very bad. I can't believe
03:09you actually have questions for me. Yes.
03:10The President has said he might consider a pardon for Pete Rose. What is your advice to
03:17the President about that pardon?
03:19I don't advise the President on anything ever. But, yeah, I think it's fair. I think it's
03:24fair to pardon Pete Rose. Yes.
03:25I would do that.
03:26But why does he need a pardon? He didn't, he was not really convicted of a criminal.
03:30It was a tax charge, sir.
03:31Oh, he did?
03:32Yes, sir.
03:32I'd give Pete Rose a pardon.
03:34All right.
03:34Let's make it happen.
03:35I think Pete Rose was very mistreated. He was, you know, 4,200 and some odd hits way
03:43ahead of anybody else. A record can never be broken. And he was caught gambling. Now
03:48it's legal. Right?
03:49Right.
03:50He was gambling on his own team, Dennis. 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 and
03:58they never, and they should have given him a pardon. They should have given him into the
04:02Baseball Hall of Fame a long time ago. And I spoke to the commissioner about it. And
04:06he agreed to do it. And then he waited, though, and Pete Rose died. So it didn't help him too
04:12much. But I would give Pete Rose a pardon. I would.
04:22I 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 we were having a very bad press day. And I said,
04:39I don't know why I thought of his name. He's been my friend for a long time. I said,
04:44you know, I think I'm going to get Dana White to be my new press secretary. They sent it to
04:48a group
04:48of the press and that was it. I'm sort of kidding. And then they wrote the story as though I
04:54wasn't
04:55kidding. And you were inundated and I was inundated. And he was here anyway with,
05:00we thought to have a little 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 midterms last
05:12Tuesday? And Mr. President, you on the campaign trail, you had said that you had stopped Iran
05:19from having a nuclear weapon. Why not just declare an end to the conflict and be done with it?
05:25Mr. Because we have some great allies there and we have to make sure they're not hurt.
05:31And they would be hurt. They are right now a lot safer than they were six months ago
05:38because Iran's been very much decapitated. But they're still the bully of the Middle East
05:43in a little bit. And I see that. We want to make sure they're okay.
05:46And 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.
05:53So it's ending quickly. But we want to take care of people that have been very good to us over
06:00the years.
