weather is [0:21] crisp it's like 60 degrees i think that's 14 15 celsius the leaves are falling ever so slowly [0:30] it's like a charlie brown thanksgiving episode it like the leaves are falling like like it's like [0:37] like it's like it's like it's like it's snow coming down from the sky like it's christmas it's [0:41] unbelievable it's sunny outside i'm locking in on all the sports forest beats man city what a game [0:49] three one liam de lapp the brace unbelievable cuña tremendous oh my god we get our first win at home [0:58] there's an amazing amount of combat sports there's zufa boxing there's uh boatsy hutchinson 2 [1:04] queensberry there's crown jewel ufc coming up bkfc octagon ryzen coming up mvpw i mean it's just a [1:12] cfl playoff it's a great day and then and then someone sends me this i believe truth social post [1:21] from the president of the united states mr donald j trump someone sends me this and it's like what do [1:26] you think of this and this just is one of the it's one of the great in a in a in a long line of [1:32] great social media posts by the president this might be the greatest social media post in the [1:37] history of social media posts please let me allow me to read it for all of you i am pleased to announce [1:45] that the great dana white a violent fighter and warrior has been offered the job of press secretary of [1:53] the united states i have requested that he bring with him assistance even though some of them are [2:00] not from our country isa machachev habib nirmagomedov justin gaethje daniel cormier amanda nunez and the [2:09] great kayla harris we need these people to defend us against the lunatic left dana will be a press [2:17] secretary like none other dana please take the job president donald j trump now i'll be honest i saw [2:25] this i see everyone joking about it i'm like haha yeah you know we'll talk about this for you know four [2:31] minutes on the show on monday and then i'm scrolling through twitter and i see a clip from sky news [2:38] in which they bring on an actual real political pundit to break this down to talk about how would [2:47] dana white do who is dana white is he qualified is he better than that other lady that they had [2:53] for for three minutes just a few weeks ago who looked like you know she was uh you know she had [2:59] never been in front of a crowd or speak publicly or anything like that before she may or may not be [3:03] a lawyer who's to check they're actually breaking this down like a real story i'm like holy shit are [3:08] people actually believing this because i just took this as donald trump trolling and then i'm like [3:13] holy crap i guess they have to there is no press secretary at the moment i guess they do have to [3:18] cover this like it's a real thing because here is the actual president of the united states not just [3:22] some dude throwing out another dude who could use a little good press let's let's be honest i mean i saw [3:28] an interview with him yesterday and uh he was talking to sky sports about all kinds of boxing things i [3:32] think i i i'm i'm quite certain if if chris bilham smith or chef clark or denzel bentley [3:39] or shane mosley jr walked up to him and said here's your here's your door dash he would have [3:45] no idea who these guys are and let's not even get started about alexander volkov and so i guess he [3:49] could use some positive press and so here they are breaking down and i'm thinking like oh my god could [3:53] you imagine could you imagine the guy who who gets rid of journalists who uninvites people who takes [4:01] away their credentials because he doesn't like a question or two can you imagine him standing up there [4:06] in front of the the the the white house press corps answering questions about actual real things [4:13] about wars about tariffs about the economy about all kinds of real actual things not like who's going [4:21] to fight who and who's next and what about this guy who said this about you actual real things actual [4:28] real things i know you can ban people when you're you know press secretary or the president they've done [4:33] this and then they've unbanned and whatnot but one thing that i've always found so funny about dana [4:38] is he does this you know podcast media tour that he loves to do where everyone just absolutely glazes [4:43] him and asks him the most useless unimportant questions one thing that i've always um appreciated [4:49] about him is like he likes to sit there and talk about like how tough he is and free speech and all this [4:53] stuff this is the dude that if you ask him a question or two that you don't like he absolutely loses it [4:58] and wants to get rid of you he cannot answer a single tough question look at what happened just [5:04] about a month ago in london um when he was answering those questions after the zufa boxing event and [5:09] there's another one coming up and we'll see how that all goes and and we'll see what the energy is [5:13] like that's probably the most interesting thing that's going to come out of this uh with all due [5:18] respect to everyone fighting which you know the top two fights are actually quite good we had denzel on [5:22] the show we uh did a feature on shane mosley we're doing more coverage of zufa boxing than any [5:26] other major media outlet out there nevertheless i would love the idea i love the idea of them asking [5:32] him about a war and he's like you know we don't uh we don't make those decisions on saturdays uh let's [5:37] see how this plays out or we're going to go back and uh you know we'll reconvene on tuesday and talk [5:41] about it like he'll offer absolutely nothing of substance perhaps he'll give us you know a pep talk [5:46] or two about what it means to be a male and what you know male toxicity or masculine whatever whatever [5:53] some bullshit like that that he goes on and on and people just lap it up it's it's a it's a [5:57] hilarious thought it's never going to amount to anything i don't know why actual real credible news [6:04] outlets are breaking this down like it's a real thing but i guess you could say the same about us [6:09] when we're breaking down tweets every single day from you know this guy who said this about that guy [6:14] this seems a little bit more important um and i recognize that it is the president but holy shit [6:20] holy shit the thought just for a second as i just sort of stare off into the sunset here the thought [6:31] of him up there having to field those questions is is amazing i would pay all the money in the world [6:38] where do i sign up for this is there like uh is there like a petition is there a gofundme is there [6:44] some sort of online thing that i can do to just throw i i would love i'm not showing up don't worry [6:50] i'm not showing up i have no interest in being a political reporter but i would just love to watch it [6:54] just what can we get it once can we just get it once just for the crack can we get it once that [7:00] would be incredible so i don't know uh what do you guys think are you interested in this did you laugh [7:05] did you share i mean he's got to be joking right and to be clear djt is just offering it i know there [7:15] is an instagram post from dana white where he said something about like the next chapter what did he say [7:20] uh let me get this right here let me get this right he wrote uh on to the next chapter i think [7:26] they're all just having a bit of fun it just and i i took it as such but then once i saw actual [7:32] news outlets breaking this down i was like first of all this is weird why are they breaking it down [7:36] and second of all how incredible this would be him standing up there the guy who pretends to be like [7:44] the toughest sob on the planet but yet gets all up you know it gets hot under the collar when he's [7:50] asked you know a quote-unquote tough question which is the most benign thing like it's like who's [7:54] fighting next and then he gets all upset what do you think is going to happen all upset could you [7:59] imagine how this would turn out could you imagine how this would play out it would be unbelievable [8:04] it would be unbelievable it would be incredible i don't know anything about the white house press [8:08] corps i don't even know if they ask tough questions these days who the hell knows but it's a fun thought [8:12] on a beautiful saturday afternoon let me know below you into this you ain't into this you you pay good [8:19] like i would for this or do you think it's a whole bunch of bullshit and a sad state on the uh the [8:25] state of america at the moment golly holy smokes i bet you the woke front bench loves this can't wait [8:32] to hear their thoughts on monday enjoy your saturdays maybe i'll be back after a funky press conference or [8:37] one of these fights coming up wca versus johnny walker tonight at the apex catch it all right all right [8:44] i actually lied i'm back one more thing just as i stopped recording right there tmz just reported [8:52] that dana white and donald trump are going to meet to discuss this on monday they noted that dana's in [8:58] london for the zuva boxing event but they're going to meet somewhere somehow on monday to discuss this [9:04] now for the record uh i think this is you know a total hoax a little shit it's just you know these [9:11] dudes having a little fun and there might be some ulterior motive down the line some sort of [9:16] promotion they're good friends there's no freaking way in hell that a a billionaire a multi multi [9:22] millionaire with all that he's doing is going to be a press secretary he's going to stand there like [9:26] there's no way like let's just be honest but the fact that it's even getting to the point where [9:30] it's being reported that they're going to meet uh is is comical please political gods please [9:37] american gods fight god please make this happen even for one day could you imagine him standing [9:43] up there fielding questions it would be it would be delight now more often than not when he does uh [9:48] media with uh you know the tough sports media or any type of tough media they again they just [9:55] kisses behind and say like oh what was it like to uh be there the night conor mcgregor won the title [10:00] but maybe not in this case i don't know anyway they're meeting it's going to be amazing god bless [10:08] america what a time to be alive i love it all right now i'm really done good
