4 Million Immigrants Cross Border During Oct-Sept Budget Year plus Bud Light Tries a Hail Mary with the UFC · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: President Joe Biden has welcomed at least one migrant in
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the United States of America during the last twelve months
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: for every American newborn or high school graduate, depending on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: how you want to look at it. More than four
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: million illegal immigrants cross the southern border during the government's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: October to September budget year, according to federal data released October,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the twenty first four million folks. In contrast, there was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: three point seven sixty seven million Americans that were born
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: during the twelve month period. According to Census Bureau, that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: number includes at least four hundred thousand births to illegal immigrants.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: So the three point sixty seven million Americans that were born,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: four hundred thousand of those were born to illegal immigrants.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: The inflow also creates vast economic competition for the three
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: million American youth who graduate from schools and the twelve
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: months up to October of twenty twenty two, The Bureau
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: also reports, meaning that we are undermining our own American
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: workforce with four million illegal immigrants. One predictable result is
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that new immigrants are pricing ordinary Americans out of housing
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: because you now are competing with four million people that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: need housing. I'll give you an example. Miss Adette, forty
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: nine years old, earns over seventy two thousand a year
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: as a social worker for the Washington State Department of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Social and Health Services, but a combination of quote, bad luck,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: bad debt, and bad credit score priced her out of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: her apartment in Bellevue, another suburb of Seattle, one of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the most expensive housing markets in the country. With an
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: eviction looming, she put her furniture in storage this spring
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and began parking the sedan in a US shape parking
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: lot outside of a church in Kirkland. The car, her
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: biggest investment, became her home. The roof turned into a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: dining table, the truck, a closet, and a weathered stretch
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of blacktop provided by a Methodist church became her yard,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: her neighborhood.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And her safe space.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: In other parking lots across the country, car dwellers are
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: sharing the hardship that landed them there. And now this
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: same woman with a seventy two thousand dollars year job.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: A man who straight by delivering pizzas and Santa Barbara
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: ended up in his niece on Frontier when the pizza
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: parlor cut his hours. A thirty five year old who
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: installed home security systems ended up in his Chevy suburban
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: when he lost control of the drill, snapping his tendon,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and one woman said she had to choose between helping
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: her mother or herself. In contrast, many migrants are being
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: fast tracked into an American housing by government funded business
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: back progressive groups who increasingly divorced themselves from the interests
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of ordinary Americans. For example, governing dot com reported on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: October the twenty third from Chicago, this is yesterday, saying
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this Soon after settling in the shelter, Venezuela and Angela Devilla,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: forty five, began to work first in construction and then
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in a mushroom factory. Now he rents a basement apartment
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: from Matt Joint, the volunteer who first picked up Davilla
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and his family from a police station to take them
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to the shelter. It's so nice here, it finally feels
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: like a home, he set in Spanish on a recent day,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: surveying his new apartment from a chair by the kitchen counter.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They recently celebrate a birthday for one of Devilla's sons
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in the backyard with other volunteers and asylum seekers. They're
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like family now, he said. The year's endflow was revealed
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: again two days ago when Biden's deputies reluctantly released the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: September numbers on a Saturday when few people were tracking
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the news. The year's inflow hit two point six two
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: million when September's inflows of three hundred and forty one
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: thousand Southern migrants was revealed. Holy crap. Between May and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: September of this year, just three hundred thousand immigrants were deported.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The Southern inflow did not include roughly the one point
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: five million godaways who sneaked over the border, bring the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: inflow to roughly five million illegal immigrants. The twenty twenty
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: three inflow of two point six million is in addition
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to the two point five million economic migrants welcomed in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two. Those migrants already
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: were helping to cut wages and spike rents, hurting Americans.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: More illegal immigrants came into this country in the fiscal
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: year twenty twenty three than Americans that were actually born.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: We're at about five million that came in total, if
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you count got aways, which obviously should be counted. They're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a part of it. When you look at that number
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and you put it into perspective, what this means is
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that we are now competing with about seven and a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: half million different people, okay, seven and a half million
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: different illegal immigrants for jobs and housing. Now, if you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: look at housing numbers right now, we have a problem
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: with housing. The problem with housing is two things. One
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: lack of supply for rentals, which is driving rental rates up.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And it makes sense when you have seven million people
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that are now renting and seven million people that are
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: looking for jobs, that are undercutting the American worker. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that's what this is. It is absolutely undercutting the American
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: worker full stop.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: When you do this, it is.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Brutal to what it does also to minorities who disproportionately
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: rent at a higher rate than owning. And it also
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: hurts single mothers at a level that no one wants
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to talk about. When these numbers came out, there is
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a moment where you want to scream, I told you so,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: because that's exactly what it is. It's an I told
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you so moment. It's a moment that is absolutely brutal,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and it's a moment that is a I told you
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: so moment. It's it is so frustrating to watch the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Left advocate and support in a big way for illegal
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: immigrants over American citizens.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And that's what they're doing.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: They are advocating for illegal immigrants day in and day out,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: over American citizens. Now, let's go back to these numbers
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: for a moment. The twenty twenty three Southern inflow of
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: two point six million, on top of the roughly one
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: million legal immigrants and at least one million visa workers
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: who stay for a few months or several years. You
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: add those numbers in then to Biden, and they're importing
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: two migrants for every newborn American. If you add all
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the numbers up from twenty twenty three, let me say
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that again, Biden has imported two migrants for every newborn American. Now,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: these aren't my numbers, these are his numbers. The twenty
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: twenty three Southern inflow is six times the one hundred
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and fifty one thousand during President Donald Trump's last year
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in office. The inflow included one point one million migrants
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: who walked through the official routes through the border wall.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: The inflow includes many global migrants, including fifty two thousand
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Chinese migrants why are we letting them in? Ninety three
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: thousand Indians, fifty one thousand Filipinos, nineteen thousand Turks, and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: two hundred ninety two thousand people from other different countries
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: such as Angola, Cameron, and Congo. Majorca's inflow also includes
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty three thousand Haitians, one hundred ninety
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: six thousand Cubans, one hundred three thousand people from Ecuador,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and three hundred eighty six thousand easily deported Mexicans. The
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: inflow includes one point five to five million who are
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: single men. Okay, so military aged men. We have one
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: point five to five million that came in, nine hundred
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and twenty seven thousand women and children and family groups,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but the majority are single men. Almost one hundred and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: forty thousand young people, most likely seeking job seeking teenagers,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: walked across the border via the Unaccompanied Alien child loophole.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Many of those young migrants take dangerous jobs in summer,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: used as prostitutes and sex traffickers amid the global rush.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Biden's Deputy's post a statement detailing the requests for fourteen
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: billion to help move more migrants into US communities, saying
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: this their own words, we are taking steps to speed
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: work authorizations for those who are eligible. The supplemental request
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: includes an additional one point four billion for shelter and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: service programs, grants for local government and nonprofits for temporary food, shelter,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and other services for recently arrived migrants. They want to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: spend fourteen billion to actually help speed up the process
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants coming in. Let that sink in. The
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: question you have to ask is whose side are they on.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Are they the side of the American citizens or are
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: they on the side of the illegal immigrants that are
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: coming into this country. I think it's pretty clear they
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: are prioritizing illegal immigrants ahead, okay, ahead of American citizens.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: That's what they're doing.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Ria Bartiromo asking questions, for example, about why are we
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: allowing two thousand Chinese nationals apprehend the border to come
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: into this country?
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Listen, and why wouldn't they This border is wide open.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Why wouldn't they exactly? And that is why I was
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: just frankly so shocked to disappointed. I guess I'm not
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: shocked anymore, but disappointed, and the fact that so little
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: resources are being directed to the southern border. That is
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: that is US citizens Safety, that is New York, that
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: a Chicago, that as Los Angeles out of San Francisco.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: And look again, Marie and you and I've talked about this.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Look at the breakdown of who is coming through that
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: southern border. Look at Wartania, look at who's coming out
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: of Egypt, Afghanistan, this Turkey. This is frightening.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: He's the most stunning number. The most stunning number is
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: the Chinese nationals. Two thousand Chinese nationals apprehended in the
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: first two weeks of the new fiscal year. That's just
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: October first to October fourteenth, two weeks you had two
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: thousand Chinese nationals, largely military aged men. You have to
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: question what is going on and what is usingping directing,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: because I don't think you can leave China for an
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: extended period without having approval from the communist government. You've
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: got all these people leaving and coming here to America.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: We're gonna keep a spotlight on that for sure.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, two thou two weeks, it's one thousand a week
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: coming from China. That doesn't just happen organically. I think
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that's the point that she's making there like this doesn't
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: happen organically.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Wired.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Two thousand people in fourteen days from China coming across
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the southern border. Somebody needs to answer that question, and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: she's right. But they're not trying to stop the problem.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: They're asking for billions more from you, Okay, billions more
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: from you to take care of more legal immigrants coming in.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Trying to stop this. They're wanting it to get worse.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: If you want to know how you lose a nation,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this is how you do it. If you want to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: know how you lose the greatest country in the world,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: this is how you do it. These numbers will fundamentally
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: change this country forever. You cannot overcome this many illegal immigrants,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and it is hurting us. Former Director of National Intelligence
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: John Ratcliffe warning about the open border specifically from Hamas
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and Hesblah likely sending there bad actors through our southern border.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: As he described it, take a listen.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: There are teroscels that he is allowed in. Is that
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: rational thinking on my part? And how do we possibly
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: weed them out and find them now that they are
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: in here?
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: It's unfortunate, Unfortunately, it is rational rational thought there, Sean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: I mean nothing under scores the lunacy of the Biden
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: administration's approach to Iran than this. Four weeks ago, Joe
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Biden sent his top national security official, his advisor Jake Sullivan,
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: out to brag publicly about how great things were in
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: the Middle East, how quiet it was, how they didn't
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: have to spend any time in the Middle East. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: now four weeks later, Joe Biden has to send out
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: his top law enforcement official, the FBI Director, to warn
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Americans that Hamas and Hesbla maybe bringing the same atrocities
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: committed against Israelis and Americans over there to our homeland.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: And you know that warning, Sean unfortunately is coming too late.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: As Trace Armstrong just pointed out, or Gallagher just pointed out,
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: this operation has been planned by Hamas, Hesbla and Iran.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: For the better part of a year.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: They would have already sent their bad actors here.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: They would have.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Likely taken advantage of an open border under the Biden administration.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: And as you talked about, Sean, remember there's a seven
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: thousand percent increase in suspects from the terr watch list
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: apprehended in the Biden administration versus the Trump administration. And
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: they are coming from countries like Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen,
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: and so to think that they're not already here, I
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: think really doesn't make much sense. And the worst part
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: of it, Sean is four months ago you heard Joe
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Biden's Homeland Security Secretary Mayorcis, under testimony and questioning from
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Jim Jordan. He was asked those Terror Watch suspects that
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: were apprehended, have they been released into the country, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: his answer under oath was I don't know. We don't
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: know where they are. It just really underscores the idiocy
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: of how they have approached this problem.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you hear the former director of National Intelligence
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: warning you of this, and the Biden administration as they're doing.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They're willing to take this risk to change this country fundamentally,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and who cares if a bunch of terrorists get in
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: during the process. All right, let me tell you real
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: quick about an amazing company called Patriot Mobile. For ten years,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: they have been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: when I say only trust me, they're the only one.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Glenn and the team have been great supporters of this show,
• 15:32

• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you want to know if a brand is desperate, here's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: how you know.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Bud Light is.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Been trying to act like everything's fine, like we're fine,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: everything's fine, everything's good, everything's fine, and everything's fine and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: nothing's wrong, everything's fine, and it's not.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Men.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Conservative men are not drinking bud Light because they hired
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a dude like a chick to be the face of
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: bud Light and put that dude like a chick on
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: a can of bud Light. I'm not going to drink
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: bud Light probably ever again. Like it would take a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: catastrophic change in bud Light's direction that wasn't pandering but
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: really authentic for me to go back and drink a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: bud Light. Bud Light is now desperate, and they are
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so desperate now from what we've been told that they
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: have now signed a massive partnership, okay, with UFC to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: become the official beer of UFC. Because if you're like
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a hard dude, not a chick, acting a dude acting
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: like a chick, there's a very good chance that you're
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: watching UFC fighting, Like there's a very high probability that
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and that I mean it doesn't get much more like
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: man's world.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Than UFC fighting.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, And so now they're they've they've done this big
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: partnership and they want you to come back, and they
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: want you to drink bud Light, and they think this
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: is the easiest way to do it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Now. UFC is a brand that is rallied around Donald Trump.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: For example, let me remind you on Tucker Carlson tonight
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: back when he was on Fox, Dana White said this
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: about their support of Donald Trump to do this.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: Well, I love them, and I appreciate that, and hopefully
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: I've built the business over the last twenty two years.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: That leave when covid.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Hit, I knew that you knew and a New York
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Trump supporter, broadly speaking, I didn't realize you were like
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: a legit old friend of Trump's because of work. Can
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: you explain that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: He's a very very good friend of mine. Donald Trump
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: has been such a good friend of me since the
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: day I met him. We originally when we bought this company,
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: this company had such a bad stigma attached to it
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: in the sport that we couldn't even get into venues.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Venues didn't want us, and Donald Trump saw that this
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: thing could possibly be big. Plus, he's a sports guy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: He loved sports, and he offered us to come do
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: the event at the Trump taj Mahal in Atlantic City,
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: cut us a very fair deal. We went down there
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: and we did two events with him. He showed up
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: for the first fight, stayed till the last fight, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: you can imagine back then Trump brand here, UFC brand
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: down here. Yeah, but he took us in and he
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: was great. Everything that ever happened to me in my
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: career after that day, the first guy to reach out
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: and say congratulations was Donald Trump, whether.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: It was male.
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: We were on the cover of the New York Times
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: one time and he said, I always knew you were
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: going to do it, Dana, congratulations and sent me the paper,
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: sent me a pen one time, congratulating me, you know,
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: always sending something and saying congratulations, like a guy who
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: was genuinely happy for your success.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: There aren't a ton of those.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: No, And then came the day he was running for
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: president and he reached out to me. He called me
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: one day and he said, he started the conversation like this,
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: if you don't want to do this, I completely understand.
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: And there are no hard feelings, but I would be
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: honored if you would speak for me at the at
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: the National Republican Convention. I said, I'll be there.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: That's UFC.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: That's UFC and the owner, the president, Dan White, who
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: said I've never been afraid to support my friend there
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: at UFC was one of the first sports, uh you know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: organizations to come back during COVID. By the way, remember
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: there the social distancing. They came back and the media
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: was saying they were super spreader events and they were
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: trying to kill people and people were going to die
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: because of you in UFC fighting, and they did that.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And the reason why they did is because they hated
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the fact that he was conservative. Number one, all right,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: so let's just start with that. Now, let's go to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: number point number two here, Okay, that people.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Need to understand. You look at this.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Massive bud Light partnership. It is a record setting partnership.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: And I want you to hear what he had to
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: say about this on Hannity, because it's pretty clear that
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: he's like, look, this is.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: A business decision.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is a straight up business decision.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Listen, all right, if.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: You watch the show regular, you do know that not
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: only stood in the martial arts.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: It's a passion of mind.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: There's no more elite venue for mixed martial arts in
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: the world than the UFC, And of course it's icon
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: like Octagon and they must watch events. But tonight breaking
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: news from outside the arena where UFC President Dana White.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: He just announced that bud Light, yes, the bud Light,
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: will become the official beer partner of the league. Now
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: after veering off course, which I thought was stupid into
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: the you know, woe cultural wars in the country, is
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: this a strong message from Anheuser, Bush and bud Light
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: that we've heard you loud and clear and we're getting
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: back on track. Anyway, here with more on all of this,
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: this brand new partnership, as UFC President CEO Dana White
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: is with us. You know, so I had you on
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: my radio show today, been on radio thirty plus years,
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: been here, I'm in my twenty eighth year at Fox.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: And you know what's interesting to me is I refuse
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: to call for Boycott's firings, cancelations, any of this stuff.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: I'm against all of it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't like.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: I thought it was stupid of Budweiser or bud Light
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: to get into that contra. It's just dumb and I
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: have no idea why they waded into those bars. But
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: my fear from the beginning was not the person that
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: made the dumb decision or the people that made the
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: dumb decision. When I saw this taken hold, I was
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: concerned about the people that work for bud Light. Those
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: are high paying career jobs, and I said that publicly,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: and I'm hoping you know, everybody knows who you are. Data,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: no holds barred, kick ass, take no prisoners. I don't
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: give an adam shift or in anybody's face. So they
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: purposely went with you tell us about it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, well, first of all, let me start
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: with you know, they were the first beer company that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: We really did business with.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: They're our first real big sponsor when we were getting started,
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: and now we're back with them and going into this deal.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: You know, I know all the controversy and everything else,
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: but for myself going into a long term deal with
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: another sponsor, I want to be with somebody that I'm
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: actually aligned with. And I know people were we're upset
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: with what they did, but I'm looking at all the
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: good things that they do. You know, they employ sixty
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: five thousand Americans. They have thousands of vets that work
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: for them. They've spend seven hundred million dollars a year
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: with US farmers using their crops to make their products,
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: and many many other great things that Anheuser Bush has
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: done in this country. And those are the things that
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: I'm focused on when I look at a long term
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: sponsor that's going to be we're going to do a
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: six year deal here. I want to be with somebody
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: that I'm aligned with. All those things that I just
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: mentioned to you are what I'm all about. And not
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: to mention, they have this thing called Folds of Honor.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: I'm very big into law enforcement and military, and over
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: the last I don't know how many years, they've spent
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: like forty five million dollars taking care of, you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: these servicemen and first responders who have died, taking care
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: of their families, scholarships for their kids and things like that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: So I am very aligned with Anheuser Busch.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: All right, let me be clear about a few things.
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: There were other beer companies that wanted to partner with you.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Correct you, certainly, I know you don't need the money
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: because you have more money than anyone could ever want,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: probably four thousand lifetimes. So you didn't do it for
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: the money. You didn't do it. You know, you did
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: it for the reason stated.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: But you also knew.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: And it's already happening on social media, that you'd be attacked,
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: you'd be accused of selling out.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I want you to respond to those people.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: Well, let's be clear, when you do sponsorships, you definitely
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: do sponsorships for the money too. Money is definitely a
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: part of it. But money was not the decision making.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: You know, there wasn't the reason that I made the decision.
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: All the things that I just told you are why.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's more to being aligned with a sponsor,
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: a major sponsor like that. For as long as I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: going to be.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: By the way, let me just hit pause here. I
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: just had to throw some reality into this camera station.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: This was one hundred percent about the money. I hate
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: it when people say things aren't about the money when
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: it's clearly about the money. The whole point of a
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: sponsorship is about the money, Okay, Like the whole thing
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: is money driven, money oriented, And Budweiser was willing to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: spend more money than anyone else. Okay, they were willing
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to spend more money than anyone else because they're desperate
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to get back conservative drinkers.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Guys, guys, not chicks dressed like dudes.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're desperate to get people back like me to
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: drink their beer, and they were willing to sign a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: six year deal for some serious cash. The reason why
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: is simple, they need us back.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: This is, in my opinion, pandering one oh one. That's
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: what it is. That's all it is. It's just straight
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: up pandering in any one that doesn't see that, you're stupid,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: it's pandering.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Do I believe that some people will drink that beer
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: now because they're like, oh well they're back with UFC? Maybe,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: but I don't think the majority are gonna be hoodwinked
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: into this. Does a UFC sponsorship with bud Light make
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you go okay now I'll drink that beer again? For me,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I laugh at it like it's like, good try, glad
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you wasted your money.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: It ain't gonna work on me all right.
