00:00Wow, what an honor to be here. I think walking up here I was almost as nervous as the fight,
00:05but it feels like a fight. Yeah, it feels like it, but this is exciting. I'm grateful to be
00:11here with everybody. So grateful to President Trump for making an event that, in my mind,
00:19never seemed possible happen. UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn. Unbelievable.
00:27I don't think there are too many presidents that have the courage to do something like that,
00:32and, you know, just so unbelievable. For me, both my parents were high school teachers. My dad was
00:38a wrestling coach. My grandpa was a wrestling coach, and I grew up around sports and just competing from
00:44five years old, and so to be able to do something like that is a dream come true, and it's
00:49just
00:49through hard work, effort, discipline, and a lot of time in the wrestling room, a lot of time in the
00:57cage that I was able to do that, and that's really because America is the land of opportunity,
01:01and if you set to your mind of something and you feel passionate about what you do,
01:07you can accomplish anything, and thank you.
01:14I want to tell, I don't want to take too much time, but I want to tell a quick story
01:17about the first time I met President Trump. It was in 2019 at the White House, and our team and
01:24I won
01:24the Nationals, the NCAAs, and at Penn State, we are. Let's go. And we were given the opportunity to
01:33meet President Trump, and it was really special because he took a lot of extra time to talk with
01:40us as wrestlers. I think he respected the wrestlers a lot, and I told him that when I'm done wrestling,
01:46I was going to fight, and he asked me if I needed a manager, and I thought that he has
01:53better things
01:53to do than that, but really since then, I feel like we've had a special connection that I'm extremely
01:59grateful for, and you know, fast forward seven years, I'm fighting on the White House lawn, and I turn
02:05and look at my corner, and President Trump is right next to him, and so it really felt, it felt
02:16to me
02:17like he was in my corner. I know that was something that was just so special, and I feel like
02:24just
02:24incredibly grateful, and overall, the whole week of the experience, everything, the word that kept
02:29coming to mind, and the emotion that I kept feeling was gratitude, and I'm grateful for President
02:35Trump, grateful for all my friends, and family, and supporters, and I'm grateful to be an American,
02:42and it's the best country on earth, and God bless you all.
02:53How's everybody doing? This is an awesome crowd. I'll keep this really short. It's just an honor to
02:59be here. Bo and I have been roommates since our freshman year at Penn State, and never could
03:04imagine this, but it's an honor to support Mr. President, this great nation, and the American
03:10workers that build the foundation of the United States of America, so as a small business owner,
03:16real estate investor, I just want to thank President Trump for the big, beautiful bill,
03:21all he's done for small business owners, and most importantly, I pray that God will continue
03:26to bless him and guide him to lead this great nation, and God bless all of us. Thank you.
03:36As you know, we just achieved a historic peace agreement with Iran to end the conflict in the
03:42Strait of Hormuz, and by the way, yesterday, 19 million barrels of oil flowed out of the Strait
03:51of Hormuz, a very beautiful place. That's the most, that's the most oil in the history
04:00of the Strait. It's never been any, you've never seen anything like that. It's called an
04:05oil gush, and most importantly, we are ensuring one thing, very importantly, because this is
04:11why I did it. I did it for this reason, 99% for this. Iran will never have a nuclear
04:17weapon,
04:17and they've agreed to that. But remember, this wasn't easy. We had 47 years worth of presidents
04:28and other people, other countries too. We're not the only one that never did anything. They were
04:34the bully of the Middle East, and now we're leaving Iran with no Navy, no Air Force, no
04:40anti-aircraft, no missile capability, no nuclear program. We're leaving them without any nuclear
04:49capacity, and they've agreed to that, and we're getting along quite well. Although, if you read
04:54the fake news, you never know. Think of it, the fake news. They have no Army. They have no Navy.
05:00They
05:01have no Air Force. They have no anti-aircraft. We can fly over to Iran just at will. Nobody going
05:07to do
05:07anything to us. And then I read the fake news that they're doing quite well. They're not doing quite
05:12well. These people right there, look at all of them. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. That's a lot of press. That's
05:22almost as much press as Bo had at the White House last week when he knocked out his opponent in
05:27the
05:28first round. I think you had more. Bo had more press. But the Iran economy has been crushed,
05:38and their defense industrial base has been damaged so severely that it'll take them many years to
05:43rebuild, many, many years. And now we're trying to work out a deal that's fair.
05:47You want to see trouble? Let them have a nuclear weapon. We're doing very well with Iran. They've
05:52been decimated, and we're making a deal with them, and we'll see how that all goes. And right now,
05:57as you probably heard yesterday, we had 19 barrels of oil, 19 million barrels of oil come off. And
06:03that's the biggest in the history of the strait, the Harmoor strait. Our stock market is through the
06:09roof, and oil prices are tumbling. We actually hit for a moment today. In fact, I think it's going to
06:14break it. $70 a barrel. That's lower than we were when we started. And it's been amazing. And the big
06:21thing is, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
