• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was even possible. I never imagined
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: that anything would make me even somehow even more patriotic,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: because if you know me, if we're friends at all,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you know, and you're probably of the same mindset, very
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: very patriotic. I love this country, so do you. Somehow,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I'm about one thousand percent more patriotic than even yesterday
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: because of this UFC America two fifty event. Holy crap,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is this amazing. They pulled this off with picture perfect perfection.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And it's happening, guys. I swear it's real. It's there's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: a surge of patriotism in this country. You can feel it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: It's happening. And in the words of a late great
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Toby Keith, the great country artist, don't ever ever apologize
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: for being patriotic. Ever proof positive last night this was incredible,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: surpassing all expectations. We'll get into it. Ext for being
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: with me. I appreciate you so much, Wicked Radio, livestream
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and replay on YouTube and Facebook and the audio podcast
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: wherever you like to get those, whatever platform, whatever they
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: ask you to do, You've done that a lot lately.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Let's get to it. So I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: didn't see this part of it live. People were sending
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: me the clips and then it was all over social
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: media because I was I'm trying to open up a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: new business. I was working like thirteen hour days. But
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: when I saw this clip of the weigh ins of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: UFC two fifty, I said, my god, is this gonna
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: be epic? I mean, just check this out. So they
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: had the weigh ends every UFC event, right, And let's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: go back a second for you know, I'm jumping ahead
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of ourselves here. Let's go back to all the criticism.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Remember it. Oh remember CNN. I think I played this
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on the podcast. Actually remember the CNN and ms now
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: clips of they're horrified that President Trump would would bring
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: this mega event with the and they'd love to call
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it cage fight to the People's House. It's horrible. Yeah, okay, right,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: think about that when you realize how epic this event was.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: But then we get to the way, in every single
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: UFC event they have the fighter's way in and the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: UFC and Dana White have made it a promotional event.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there are more people showing up at these weigh
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: ins than the actual UFC fight itself. So they did
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Hundreds of thousands of people at the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: eclipse at the Ellipse excuse me to watch this, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it needed something extra, It needed something to kick it
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: all off. Oh how about an American bald eagle flying
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in for the way to those people. It was fantastic.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It was perfect, landed on the handlers are perfect. When
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I saw that, I said, Okay, this is going to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: be this is going to be great. You could just tell,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you could feel it was going to be awesome. But
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: now leading into this, even after the way in the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: night before, what were the media reports you might have
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: seen them. They did everything they possibly could. I'm talking
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: about CNN and MS NOW and all the usual suspects
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: with CBS and NBC and ABC. What did they talk about.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: They over exaggerated the rain in the forecast. Of course,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: they even talked about I think CNN had reports of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: flying mosquito attacks that'll happen in this area, and they
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: had some epidemiologists on there talking about the dangers of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the bugs that'll be doing everything they possibly could to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: dampen this event, like literally trying to over exaggerate the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: rain in the forecast. And can you just imagine if
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that had actually happened, the celebrations they would have last
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: night and this morning. If the UFC two fifty America
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: two fifty was some sort of a muddy disaster, can
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you imagine how they'd be celebrating. But it wasn't, And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: as soon as the actual main event started, they knew it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Check Out this clip for a second. Before we get
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: into some of the events of the night, check out
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: this clip from CNN. They truly this is a case
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: where we have two on the streets or in the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: crowd reporters they they don't truly understand what this is.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: They have absolutely no clue and they don't know what
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to do. You're gonna hear one of the reporters here
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: say this is an This sort of feels like just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a ufcavent. No one's talking politics. I don't see a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: lot of maga hats. This is how you know these
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: people are completely and totally out of touch with real people.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Just listen to this. This is after they predict to.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Me that having been here all weekend, I'm talking to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: people from the Lincoln Memorial.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: On Friday night, ver they have the ceremonial press conference.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I was here at the Ellipse.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Last night there was a ceremonial weigh in, and of
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: course tonight we're gonna have let the big fight.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It's been a very surreal weekend. It's here in Washington, DC.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know this, this fields like a UFC event, right,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: and nobody here is really talking politics.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Very few maga hats even this does not feeling. They
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: had nothing, clueless, absolutely just perplexed at what this was.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: They had neither of them. They're they're lost, They're like
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lost little children, no idea, and they were all upset
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to go with their talking points of it's a disaster
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: here and it's money, and it's rained, people are leaving,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and it's and they always pulled out less people than
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: expected in the crowd.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Sure, well, the weather did hold off. Dana White pulled
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it off, the President pulled it off. The troops were
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: there and honored. To kick off the event, they played
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Let's not forget this is also on Flag Day and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the President's birthday, and they played a video of the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: classic speech, the recorded speech that Ronald Reagan did about
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Flag Day and why it's so important. Already a major
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: success even if that was it, But then you get
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to this, the flyover and the singing of the national anthem.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Here's another great point. The Zach Brown Band Zach Brown Band.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Zach Brown refused to cave to the pressure from the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Nashville mafia that wants to keep anything related to President
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Trump off the scene. And he had a great statement
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: before this. He said, this is about patriotism, and this
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is about our event and celebrating our country. Of course
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there. And he's saying, with some help
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the national anthem, you can't have a better intro to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: any event honoring our country than this. Just just listen
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and check.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Say Stopple, Oh the.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Chills. And I don't care who thinks that's corny. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: don't care. I just don't care anymore. And that's part
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of it too. You can't care anymore. You don't ever
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: apologize to these far left, lunatic America hating assholes, don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: ever apologize for loving this country. And I don't care
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: if you have, if you played that clip for somebody else,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you showed that to them like on your and they
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: don't like it. Just I don't. I just you can't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: care about those people. You just really can't. That was perfect,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: absolutely perfect perfection with the flyover and the and the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: song and the camera work. Fantastic. But then we get
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to the fights. Let's not forget about that. Some great
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: night of events. You had a couple of upsets there, fantastic.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get to some of the fighters' reactions, though, you
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: know what they're gonna say.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: First and foremost, gotta thank President Trump for making this happen.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Dana, all the UFC, everybody. This is unbelievable.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It takes such a special person to be able to
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: have the balls to do something like this, And I
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: have so much respect for him. I've you know, had
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that for a long time, and I'm just grateful.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: As Bo Nickel, he's kind of known as one of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the most patriotic fighters of all time. He's always loved
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: President President Trump just engaged, though, is one of the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: best UFC fighters out there. Listen, what you have been
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: waiting for this moment your entire career, and to win
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it in such a spectacular fashion in.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: A fight where if you were in some points six
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: to one underdog, How.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Good does this feel?
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'm from America. Two hundred and fifty years ago,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: we were way bigger than six to one dogs.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: And look at us driving now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: To all the current, former and future military service members,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: thank you so much, Thank you so much, all the
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: first responders, the police officers, firefighters, pangulous EMTs. You guys
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: have no idea how good Caul I am. In the
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: first life.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty years ago, we were way bigger
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: than six to one dogs. And then I don't know
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: if you audio podcast listeners, you weren't able to see this,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But and then they flashed to all their service members
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and first responders in the crowd. Again, it's just just
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a perfect production. I'm telling you, this is kicking off
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: something that maye just like in nineteen seventy six. This
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is kicking off a wave of patriotism that is fantastic.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And people will tell you and your like is that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it's all important, you know why, because you can go
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: one of two directions. You can go full on loving
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: this country or not. And it's better to love this country.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's propaganda or not. But wait
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a minute, hold on, let's see, wasn't there a counter
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: programming spectacle on didn't see an input on something there
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was gonna be some old washed up liberal hags on there.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: They were going to counter program this. Bett Middler was
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: one of them, somebody out of care. Remember, didn't didn't
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they put that on TV? Yeah? I think they did.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see how that went. While this epic UFC America
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: two fifty event is going on. Here's what the other
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: folks were going, Oh, you fascist, your bou you fascist?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Baudlu Hello, I am fascist?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I I I'm embarrassed for them. This
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: may be it. I think it may be over. This
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: was such a devastating, embarrassing epic loss for the lunatic
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: America hating left. I'm dead serious. I think it may
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: be over for them. I think it's done, I really do.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: This was just so that's what they have. They have
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Bette Midler and Jane Fonda and washed up Springsteen and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you know all the other idiots that have tried to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: bag on her country for so many years, trying to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: put down America. UFC two fifty epic epic fail because
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: this was so great. The man who put that, you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: know who, deserves a lot of credit obviously, as Dana White,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: UFC president, friend of President Trump. But he they asked
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: him if they'd ever do it again. He goes, no,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I think they lost money on this.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: He said it was such a production. Hates putting on
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: events outside because there's so many elements. You can't control
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: an event like this, So many things could have gone wrong.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Think of all the security they had to arrange with
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the UFC organization, not just putting together a fight card,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: but all the security and the men and then the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: media here in this. So credit to him for doing this,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and he pretty much flat out said, you do something
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: like this for your country. This guy deserves a ton
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of quition.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Things going on in this city up until July fourth
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: to celebrate and the fact that you know, he trusted
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: me to do this and to deliver tonight, and we did.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: And like I said, I did all the media. You know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: we went to New York. I did far left, I
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: did far right, I did down the middle. I did
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: it all. And I believe that if you are an American,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: no matter where you sit politically, tonight was a proud
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: night to just sit around and enjoy the two hundred
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: and fiftieth birthday of America. I was just honored.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: How it's a perfect statement exactly right. It doesn't matter
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: who you are, what you are, where you lean. Forget
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: all that crap. That's what the media is trying to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: divide us into and put us into boxes. Well, you're
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: far right of saying you're just left of center and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you're this. No, we're people, for God's sakes. And if
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you can't just look at this event that they put
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: on for America's birthday and what Dana White and others
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: put on at the White House to organize this thing.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: If you can't sit, I can enjoy that. There's something
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: seriously wrong with you. And God knows you, and I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: know there are a lot of people like that. Well
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: let them suffer, because how stupid do you look right now?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: How stupid does all the criticism? How about this? How
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: dumb do all the artists who refuse to take part
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: of America's Big Board, not this specific event, but throughout
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the two week event of the celebration America what they
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: call it the America's State Fair or something, all the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: artists that refuse to perform, How stupid do they look
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: right now? And they use security as a concern to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: wheeze a lot of it? Right, we can't secure a nation.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, you want to talk about security. Dana White
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: just organized ten the entire organization, the whole production crew,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: all of this, all the service members, everybody was there,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the whole White House staff, the military, everybody. They weren't
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: worried about security. They made it happen. How stupid do
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the people look now? Who bagged out of this thing,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: who refused to participate, They look like idiots. But the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: finale of the entire night was just as deserving of attention.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Fireworks at the end in the star spangled banner. We
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: love fireworks in our indoors. We could not throw a
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: spirit's banner. Oh my god. I don't know how else
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to say. All I can give you is my opinion, obviously,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and get you to ask your own questions. Maybe if
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I'm lucky, But I'm even more patriotic than yesterday, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was possible. But again the takeaway,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: of course, like I said, in quoting the late great
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Toby Keith, don't ever apologize to anybody ever for being patriotic.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: That's their problem. And just another takeaway. I don't know.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just maybe I'm just living off a high
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of this thing. I don't know, but something's happening, guys.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: It's Patriotism is back. People are loving this country again.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: No matter what you what your experience is, in this country,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: we are if you're here, if you're an American citizen,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: or you're here making a life and a living, you're
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: already way ahead of the game. Think of what it
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: would be like trying to struggle and strive in some
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of these European countries or South America. Right now, it's
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: like we already hit the lottery, and we shouldn't forget that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: It's like these European soccer fans coming over and joining
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the World Cup and how much they're love in this country.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't we have a little bit more of that. Shouldn't
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: we like take the appreciation we have and use it
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: every day. And I take our country for granted to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: believe me, you probably do too. There's a lot of
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: people out there that just they have no idea how
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: lucky they are to be here. But that's changing. That
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: was awesome and continues to be and boydd we need it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Excep finding me. I appreciate you flag waving for about
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes here, but I'm not going to apologize. The
• 14:39
