Trump brings in Dana White during hilarious press conference following job offer

[0:00] that being said i was having a little fun and i said how about dana white being the press secretary [0:05] you know press secretary he's a great guy he's done an unbelievable job most successful [0:14] you know we talk don king who's a friend of mine i got a lot of friends but you talk about [0:18] fight promoters this is more than a fight promoter this is a man that's done the most [0:23] incredible job anybody's ever seen ufc it's like broadcasting the nfl the numbers and [0:31] what he's been able to do and he's done a lot of press and i said you know what i want to elevate [0:36] you i'm going to bring you into the press room and data white could be our press secretary if you [0:40] would only take the job there would never have been even caroline would admit that data is really very [0:47] unique the only problem is he'll talk for a little while and then he's going to beat the hell out of [0:51] you so and i don't know if daniel would like that i don't think daniel wants to take him on but he [0:57] uh he's built an amazing an amazing machine he's got a big fight this weekend at madison square [1:04] garden with the two greatest women fighters of all time as far as i'm concerned yeah women's [1:13] fighting it's not a nice thing but they are they are very tough when i say no no men in women's [1:19] sports that's great i would not want to fight it however i would not how would i do against one of [1:23] them would i do well i don't think so not well sir this would uh this would not be a good occurrence [1:31] anyway but i thought i'd bring data because he loves the idea and i love the idea the only thing [1:37] is we have other things we have to think about but he's a unique a unique person and he was seeing me [1:43] anyway unrelated and i thought maybe he would say a few words and i think he'd probably like the job [1:51] he loves the country and he would do a hell of a job so uh you were here he was here and [1:56] dana please say a few words dana white thank you i've always wanted to do this who has the first [2:04] question i have zero political aspirations uh i was in a fight for zufa boxing in london when he called [2:12] me and told me that he had done this and the last 24 hours of my life has been insane um but yeah good to [2:20] see you yes ma'am i have a question you have seen a cage match between president trump and former [2:27] president joe biden same age same weight and considering like styles make fights could you give [2:32] us an analysis of the toughest most resilient human being that i've ever met in my entire life [2:37] many times during you know the last eight ten years whatever it's been i have told him why why [2:44] do you keep doing this why are you doing this when he was going through everything that he went [2:48] through and i mean as tough and as real as resilient as i thought he was after uh he got shot i uh yeah [2:57] i he's he is a one of one unique human being and uh yeah would it be a knockout victory for president [3:05] trump it would be it would it would be very bad yeah i think it would be very bad i can't believe you [3:10] actually have questions for me yes the president has said he might consider a pardon for pete rose [3:17] what is your advice to the president about that part i don't advise the president on anything ever [3:22] um but yeah i think it's fair i think it's fair to pardon pete rose yeah i would do that but why does [3:28] he need a pardon he does he was not really convicted of a criminal tax charges sir oh he did yes sir i'd [3:33] give pete rose a party all right let's make it happen i think pete rose was very mistreated he was [3:39] you know uh four thousand two hundred and some odd hits way ahead of anybody else so record can [3:45] never be broken and he was caught gambling now it's legal right but he was gambling on his own [3:51] team then he wasn't gambling against that's different he was gambling he shouldn't have done [3:56] it but he went through 40 years of hell and they never and they should have given him a pardon they [4:01] should have given him into the baseball hall of fame a long time ago and i spoke to the commission [4:06] about it and he agreed to do it and then he waited though and pete rose died so it didn't help him too [4:13] much but uh i would give pete rose a pardon i would do that just to confirm did you tell the president [4:22] no to the press secretary job i don't tell the president no to anything i no i didn't say no [4:27] i literally everybody every media outlet was calling me and i didn't want to be disrespectful and say [4:31] disrespectful and say anything until he he uh he said something first so mr president we were having [4:38] a very bad press day and i said i don't know why i thought of his name he's been my friend for a long [4:43] time i said you know i think i'm going to get dana white to be my new press secretary they said it to a [4:49] group of the press and that was it i'm sort of kidding and then they wrote the story as though i wasn't [4:55] kidding and you were inundated and i was inundated and he was here anywhere with we thought to have [5:02] a little fun and we brought dana here he would be fantastic go ahead mr president for you [5:09] dana first of all were you surprised by the results of the midterms last tuesday and mr [5:14] president you on the campaign trail you had said that you have stopped iran from having a nuclear [5:22] weapon why not just declare an end to the conflict and be done with it because we have some great [5:28] allies there and we have to make sure they're not hurt and they would be hurt they are right now a lot [5:36] safer than they were six months ago because iran's been very much decapitated but they're still the [5:43] bully of the middle east a little bit and i see that we want to make sure they're okay we want to [5:48] make sure it's a long-term solution not just the short term they'll never have a nuclear weapon but [5:53] we have to make sure that's a long term so it's ending quickly but uh we want to take care of [5:58] people that have been very good to us over the years you told 60 minutes that you felt that your [6:09] deportation policy may have gone too far but then you named the architect of that policy [6:14] stephen miller to be your chief of staff have you told him that you want changes to the deportation [6:20] policy we have a very strong deportation policy there's no amnesty no no anything we keep that [6:27] but uh we focus on the worst of the worst we want to get the murderers out we've gotten most of them out [6:33] we've gotten most of the really bad you know they they allowed joe biden allowed 100 well uh 25 million [6:41] people to come in of that 11 888 murderers most of whom committed more than one murder we've gotten [6:49] most of them we want to get the worst of the worst and then we'll see what happens but they came in [6:54] illegally many of them have good jobs now they're productive some of them are even paying taxes and [7:01] we're seeing what's going to happen there won't be amnesty somebody suggested will there be amnesty no [7:06] but they came in they knew the law and we're working with a lot of different groups to see [7:11] whether or not but my policy hasn't changed what we are doing is absolutely the worst of the worst [7:17] we're getting the murderers they allowed people to come in from prisons they emptied their prisons [7:22] into our country many countries and they emptied our prisons into our country the drug dealers that we [7:28] have the people from the mental institutions mental institutions all over the world were [7:35] emptied out prisons all over the world the congo were in the congo their prison population was emptied [7:43] into our country all over south america all over asia they did that too what biden did to this country [7:51] should never ever be forgotten and i hope the democrats will not try and allow that to happen again [7:58] we've seen the stock market really take you know up and down like a roller coaster the last couple [8:06] of days days today up last week it tanked not last week right after the election it went down three [8:12] trillion dollars that was because of the result of the election because the stock market does not want [8:18] to see democrats and your 401ks have gone way down because of the ridiculous result it's not even a [8:27] result it's almost hard to believe now i wasn't on the ballot i shouldn't take anything personally [8:32] but i will tell you i thought it was ridiculous but the stock market went way down right after that [8:39] event today it's way up because i think they feel we have things under control [8:45] mr president thank you sir thank you sir when were you first informed that there was an issue with [8:49] jensen playing in the affair and what was presented to you at the time what was the concern [8:54] um i would say that when i heard about it first of all i was amazed because i view him as a very [9:03] high quality person i've known him a long time uh it's actually the largest i think by value it's [9:08] probably the largest or one of the largest companies in the world he did that with a chip you know when [9:13] you think about it he's got a chip that's 10 years advanced can't be cut because of the complexity [9:18] can't even the blackwell can't even be copied he's an amazing guy i just hope it's uh i hope there's [9:25] no problem if there is a problem we'll let you know about it but i hope there's no problem i believe [9:31] he's suffering greatly i read his statement and i believe he's suffering greatly more so because of [9:37] his family his wife who he loves and his family but he is definitely suffering and i hope just to follow [9:47] up on the when were you first told of these potential issues with mr flange you didn't answer [9:50] that question well i've been hearing about it and i've been reading a little bit about it over a [9:54] period of time but uh not too long ago we'll look into it i know the fbi is looking into it in terms of [10:02] something else and i think that he'll be in good shape mr president you say the war with iran will [10:11] be ending fairly soon but you've made this claim dozens of times over the past eight months why should [10:16] americans think this time is any different they won't have a nuclear weapon and they won't have [10:20] a nuclear weapon when we knocked them out a year ago uh that was that i said i was going to do that [10:26] and i kept my word on that now what we're doing is we're uh it's really status quo territory we're [10:34] keeping it going we have the greatest military blockade ever we have the new iron gate iron gate is [10:40] land so by land and by sea and we will uh take care of business look iran i hope we're going to be able [10:48] to make a deal with them but nothing's going to happen and if we have to we'll take very serious we [10:55] are so loaded we just have another aircraft carrier it's all loaded up to the gills with brand new [11:01] beautiful stuff we're making more military equipment and munitions right now than at any time in the [11:07] history of our country we've built and are building more plants our our defense companies are building [11:13] more plants than ever at any time in the history of our country and many of those plants are open [11:20] some opened and some are opening soon we're building new patriots we're building new tomahawks new thad [11:27] systems and we have more under construction now than at any time ever and uh and we're taking it [11:34] and obviously we're taking it for ourselves first uh what happened is and wasn't so much iran joe biden [11:41] gave 350 billion dollars worth of free equipment to ukraine now that was unbelievable now they pay [11:52] and we give it to the european union we have a very good relationship we took them from two percent to [11:57] five percent is what they're paying now which is pretty amazing nobody thought that could happen [12:02] but they pay full for the equipment joe biden gave free equipment 350 billion dollars and uh we are now [12:10] building more military equipment and munitions than at any time in the history of our country [12:16] uh we just had just in case we had another aircraft carrier we have many uh sailing over and just [12:24] arriving in the middle east so we have three and they're all locked and loaded and hopefully we don't [12:29] have to use them are you going to bring up the case of jensen wong with president xi when you [12:39] visit with him next week no i don't think so i mean maybe i'm sure president she will ask me about it [12:45] i just know jensen very well i just think he's a very honorable man i mean he's a great built a great [12:51] company american company and i think he's a very honorable guy and i feel very confident that he'll be in [12:57] good shape in sticking with jensen when you went to china earlier this year in may did you know about [13:04] these alleged ties with the chinese spies then or no i didn't hear about it then but a lot of people [13:11] have heard about it and jensen totally denies that he had i asked him today because i did speak to him [13:17] today just to see if he's feeling all right how you doing and i asked him about that and he had he said [13:23] he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy i asked him that question did [13:30] you have any idea that she was a spy he said i had no idea that she was a spy and i really believe [13:34] him yeah i just think that ukraine and russia are tired of fighting they're tired of seeing dead young [13:47] soldiers mostly soldiers most of the people are soldiers think of it they're losing 25 000 denny can you [13:53] imagine 25 000 that's like a stadium madison square garden you have your fights 25 000 that's what it [13:59] holds and they're losing that every single month dead young beautiful people and it's it's got to stop [14:08] you know it doesn't affect us but i'm able to get them together and we're meeting now right now as we [14:15] speak and the meetings are going okay but we're trying to get it settled only because we want to say [14:21] it doesn't affect us as a country but it affects me 25 000 people a month of being killed [14:30] mr president a number of senate of gop members are urging the conference to delay their leadership [14:36] votes tomorrow we know that john boone is running on a post in the senate do you think that mr thune has [14:42] earned the right to lead senate well look he's a very fine man i know him very well [14:47] uh but that's really up to the senators i like john thune uh i wish they could get more produced you [14:55] know we we've had save america up there we've had you know voter id and proof of citizenship and many [15:02] other things it's not easy he's got some people that first of all you have 100 negative democrats [15:09] they never vote yes they always vote no that means yes they get almost 100 of the republicans and you [15:15] have some republicans in there i can name them but why should i that are very difficult and you know [15:22] i said as leader you have to get those people but john's a good man i guess they're going to be voting [15:26] tomorrow or maybe it's delayed i don't know what the status but you know he's a friend of mine i wish [15:32] the senate could get more done you spoke about venezuela uh do you plan on having elections there [15:41] before the end at some point yeah at some point yes mr president uh earlier today you posted on [15:47] social media where you questioned whether the midterm election results were honest yeah believe [15:52] that the election was raped and separately did you did you watch uh senator thomas massey lay out his [15:58] articles of impeachment no i don't watch massey look now massey's a loser um he shouldn't be taking [16:06] up the time of uh congress or the senate or anything that he's doing you guys are stone-cold loser would [16:13] always he's a republican always he would vote against you're just we could come up with the best bill [16:19] we could come up with and he would always vote against there's something wrong with him and i said look [16:25] i've got to challenge him and i challenged him and he lost in a landslide to a very good man we have [16:30] a very good man ed kilrain who's great took his place but you know i went and did something that [16:37] is very tough to do now i challenged others also i challenged cornyn i challenged uh tillis and i [16:44] challenged uh if you look at louisiana cassidy three so that makes things a little bit harder to get [16:51] their votes because i wouldn't say they like me but of all of them i would say there's there's [16:56] something wrong with thomas massey he was an automatic no vote you could go in with the greatest bill [17:02] bills were even democrats were voting and he'd be no and i said what is wrong with this guy he's a sick [17:09] sick guy there's something wrong with him actually now he's he's after pete he doesn't like hexath [17:14] but really what has hexath done he won the war he was in charge he won the war in venezuela as i [17:23] said 48 minutes it was flawless nobody killed and he certainly i think he's won the war in iran but [17:30] he's certainly winning the war iran would love to make a deal and they've been obliterated their navy [17:36] and their air force so he won the war in two places two big places very important very impactful and [17:44] they were one they're not like vietnam when nothing was one or afghanistan or iraq or any of these wars [17:51] when nothing was one there was nothing one just lots of death and then let's leave in one case [17:57] he's not they're not going to have a nuclear weapon in the other we're making hundreds of billions of [18:02] dollars for this country so i say this pete hexath won two wars oh let's impeach him what about impeaching [18:13] the gentleman from biden his person that disappeared for two weeks and nobody had any idea where he [18:22] was what about impeaching the people that ran the vietnam war what about impeaching that went [18:27] that ran iraq and afghanistan and all of these other wars where thousands of lives have been you know [18:36] we lost 18 people 18. they lost 65 000 in vietnam we're in there for seven months they're in there for [18:45] 21 years what about impeaching those people what about impeaching the leaders of these stupid wars that [18:52] were done when nothing was gained in iran they won't have a nuclear weapon that's a big thing [18:59] now short term probably bad for me because people want to have a little bit lower energy cost we'll [19:04] get it back down i created the lowest cost you know it's even lower now than it was with biden and obama [19:10] but i've done something different they won't have a nuclear weapon that's a big thing and with the other [19:16] we're making a fortune and we have tremendous amounts of oil we're going to have we have more oil [19:21] including venezuela then saudi arabia and russia combined by far in fact by two yeah please [19:32] sir to follow up do you believe the midterms well i think the numbers were terrible [19:36] in terms of those early votes you look at all those early votes and and look at another one [19:41] i'm watching alaska so you have a guy named dan sullivan and another guy named dan sullivan runs [19:48] and one's a j and one's an s and the one with the j which is the fake dan sullivan tries to have his [19:54] initial change to s he never ran before he never was a political person before he was fraudulently put [20:03] in the race and then they tried to change his middle name so it was an s to confuse so dan sullivan and the [20:11] woman peltolla is they're very close he's only i guess she's four five hundred votes [20:18] but this fake dan sullivan because of confusion only because they're meant to vote [20:23] as 2 500 almost 3 000 votes that means he wins the election but in addition they have a second person [20:31] they put in and they made a big issue with the second and that person is 4 000 or 5 000 votes [20:38] those votes should go also but even if you don't include that you have a dan sullivan and a dan [20:44] sullivan and the democrats put him up in order to confuse the voters so anybody that voted for that [20:52] second dan sullivan the fake dan sullivan was supposed to be a vote for the real dan sullivan so they [20:59] stole it and that election should be called right now because dan sullivan won easily if you add up the [21:06] numbers now if you add up the numbers for the second person they put in he's leading by six [21:11] seven thousand votes he was in charge we all won i had great people you what massey says that he's [21:30] carried out massey's a loser just like you're a loser at cnn just like your ratings are a loser [21:38] massey is a loser stone-cold loser uh i ran i did something that nobody's done i took on a guy that [21:45] was in his own way sort of popular in his state and i beat him badly beat him easily with a man that [21:55] never ran before but a good man massey has a lot of hatred in his heart i watched i heard [22:02] what massey did i don't want to watch i don't want to waste my time watching him uh we won two [22:08] wars we won two wars and we've made the world a lot safer place and then we're supposed to beach [22:15] why haven't we gone after all these other people that ran wars that lost what about this what about [22:21] what about what about good old lloyd why didn't we go after him why didn't we go after the people [22:27] that disappeared they're in charge of the military and they disappeared from nobody knew had any idea [22:34] that nothing happened to him uh what about all these people that lost wars you don't have to [22:40] all i can say is this we have the highest recruit the recruit numbers of you know when i came in when [22:48] i was campaigning we had the worst recruitment people wanting to join the military in the history [22:55] of our country we couldn't fill any of the spots it was a disaster now we have the best numbers we've [23:01] ever had more people want to be in the army navy air force marines coast guard even the police space [23:09] force firemen anybody with a uniform so now we have the best numbers we've ever had and i will say this [23:17] the soldiers the actual soldiers the the great people that do the work the great patriots they love [23:24] pete hexath so if you go back two years ago before i got into office two years ago we could not recruit [23:33] people and you know that better the army was way beyond everybody now we have waiting lists of [23:39] people trying to get in he's done a very good job mr frenchman you have given vladimir putin [23:54] multiple deadlines over the last 22 months to enter into a ceasefire but also to meet directly [24:00] with the loader zelensky he has repeatedly ignored your demands yet you have provided [24:05] well you know you're saying has he been fighting us in the war yeah yeah let me ask you this [24:10] question what point does appease who you with who you with with ms now what and what ms now it's a fake [24:20] it's the worst ratings in their history used to be ms dnc it's one of the worst uh you're a fake [24:28] network go ahead jennifer jennifer jennifer go ahead jennifer go ahead ms now what a joke [24:36] go ahead steven miller's doing a great job [24:44] i just think he's going to be great he's been with me from the beginning he's smart he's tough [24:48] he's fair and he actually will get along i think very well with the democrats [24:58] i want to put a finer point they're going to try and you know i'm open to it we're not going to have [25:03] amnesty or anything we're going to you know people are going to do it the right way you have to do it [25:07] it's unfair to other people but certainly i'm open to it no no not you not you go ahead i wanted you [25:15] to put a finer point on what exactly you were made aware of the intelligence around jensen way [25:20] oh i have to check but there are reports but this has been going on put an intelligence memo out [25:25] last year did you read that well i'd certainly check with the intelligence people they could [25:30] have been mentioned certainly it didn't make much of an impact on me yes one of your first tests uh [25:35] for bipartisanship in this new era is going to be working with democrats on this permitting bill [25:40] which was expected to get a vote the permitting bill is a great bill that's supposed to be [25:44] bipartisan we we are behind it 100 are you going to whip that in the house well we may see but [25:49] the democrats want that i mean maybe they've changed but they wanted as much as the right [25:54] you're going to approve wind turbines in the future being very critical no i will not approve [25:58] winter but that's part of the bill sir i know but i won't approve it well the bill hasn't been fully [26:02] negotiated uh i will not approve wind turbines because wind turbines are a major loser [26:12] i will not approve it but i will not approve it as you said before it was going to be your pleasure [26:18] to take cuba in your monday do you still plan on taking cuba or well cuba is falling it's a failing [26:23] nation it's got an ideology very similar to what the democrat ideology is and it's a failing nation it's a [26:32] communist nation socialist nations sort of everything all wrapped in into one uh we have tremendous people [26:40] who were treated very badly cuban americans and they voted for me 94 percent and we take care of [26:47] those people but cuba is a failing nation uh we will help them on a humanitarian basis we are helping [26:54] them actually but we'll see what happens cuba is going to be interesting i would imagine it will fall [26:59] fairly soon i can't keep this man waiting he's a very very proud so let me ask wait wait wait so let [27:08] me ask you the big question dana would you like to be press secretary of the united states of america [27:16] look at the sign you'd have this behind you all the time the white house washington would you like [27:20] that or do you just want to stay with this ridiculous ufc huh thank you for the officer for the offer i have [27:28] no no i do not want to be in politics i am devastated to hear this goodbye everybody [27:45] thank you everybody just to
