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