00:00It's happened since the last time we were all together.
00:02Last month, we hosted one of the most incredible sporting events in world history at the White
00:07House, the UFC Freedom 250 fight, the UFC fight.
00:11When I announced that we're going to build a boxing ring right outside of the front door
00:15of the White House, that took a lot of heat.
00:17But it turned out that was, they say, about the most viewed fight in history.
00:22It was beautiful.
00:24So many things happened.
00:25It was supposed to rain.
00:27We're going to do it the week before, and the weather was beautiful.
00:31And the weather came, and it went, and now we came up to Wednesdays.
00:34They said, sir, this was on a Sunday night, replacing 60 minutes, which is nice and unusual,
00:43because usually it's Saturday night.
00:45And they said, sir, this was from Wednesday on.
00:49Tell me about weather, right?
00:50Sure, it's going to rain.
00:51I think you're going to have to.
00:52It's going to be one of the worst storms that we've seen in a long time.
00:55It's coming up the coast.
00:56It's going to hit you on Sunday night.
00:58It's going to be a disaster.
00:59I'm saying, can you believe?
01:00And you saw the ring we built.
01:01Dana White, the great Dana White.
01:04And everything.
01:05We had the best fighters in the world.
01:06Turned out we had the best fights that most people have ever seen, including me.
01:10It was just a miracle.
01:12But what happened is we're waiting for this rain to come all day long,
01:16and it's coming, and it's horrible.
01:19And it's 8 o'clock.
01:21And we say, I think we should.
01:22It hasn't rained yet.
01:24I said, maybe we should postpone it an hour.
01:26Maybe we should make it the next day.
01:28We didn't know what to do.
01:29And finally, we just said, let's just have it.
01:32And it never rained.
01:34It was perfect.
01:35In fact, the week before, it was 92 degrees.
01:37It was nice.
01:37But it was, this was like 72 degrees.
01:40And the rain was coming, and it came right over the White House.
01:44And it was like, thank you very much.
01:48It went like this.
01:50And other areas were drenched a few miles away.
01:54We didn't have a drop of rain.
01:55And it was absolutely one of the most incredible things anybody's ever seen.
01:59People said it's one of the most incredible nights of their lives.
02:03So just remember, before I came along, if you wanted to see someone lose consciousness
02:09on the South Lawn of the White House, all you had to do is ask Joe Biden a question.
02:15Remember that?
02:17Oh, you think I'm kidding.
02:19But the big fight was such an amazing success that tonight I'm pleased to announce that we're
02:24going to host an even bigger one right in front of the White House.
