Dana White has been a vocal Trump supporter since his days at the Republican National Convention in 2016. He supported Trump in 2016 when it wasn t popular for business owners to do that. Now, through all the pressure to distance himself from President Trump, Dana White has done just the opposite. Last week, President Trump joined Dana White at a UFC fight in New York City, as Trump does rather often.
00:17:13.560One of my first tasks actually was to was to restart operations after the twenty nineteen Pensacola terrorist attack.
00:17:20.860If you remember that, where a Saudi Arabian foreign military student was he killed three of our service members.
00:17:27.480And I had to implement new enhanced security vetting guidelines to prevent that type of situation from happening again here in the homeland.
00:17:34.760And yet we seem to have no protocols at our border where, you know, you're having a lot of these folks being undetected.
00:17:42.160The hundred and sixty seven were just the ones that we know of, of the people on the known terror watch list.
00:17:46.960But, you know, it's not just radical Islamist terrorists we're dealing with.
00:17:50.920We have China, Lou. China is sitting back and watching, you know, this whole the whole world on fire.
00:17:56.720And they're watching the United States. And there's a famous Napoleon quote, never interrupt an enemy while it's defeating itself.
00:18:02.180And China, we tend to forget back in February, they had a spy balloon coming across the entire United States.
00:18:08.660We forget that they had a they had secret police station set up in all of our cities.
00:18:13.500This is the president. We know we remember that he has cut our strategic petroleum reserves by half the lowest that they've been in 40 years.
00:18:22.920That is sabotage by any name. Intentional.
00:18:27.280This is absolutely directed destruction. And the directions are coming from the Oval Office of the White House.
00:18:33.720What I'm asking you really is, what are you going to do for the people of Arizona?
00:18:39.060It all happens in the community. It happens in your school board meetings, your city councils.
00:18:43.640It happens in your state legislature. And by the time you get to Congress, you've got you've got so many wonderful people to represent.
00:18:51.760What do you think it will take for you to deliver to those people you will be representing in your district?
00:18:59.560Well, that's exactly right with the border and the cartels, which so many people, you know, neglect where the cartels are run as a terrorist organization and, you know, bringing China back into it.
00:19:10.700They're the ones peddling in the fentanyl that's invading so many of our communities here in Congressional District in Arizona, where it's, you know, no longer just fentanyl use.
00:19:20.920The price of fentanyl has gone down so dramatically, where, you know, as a former prosecutor, Lou, I've seen it.
00:19:26.920I mean, now you can buy pills for two bucks and they have these candy colored pills because they're they're targeting children.
00:19:32.520But classifying the cartels as a foreign terrorist organization, I think, is really key in order to stop a lot of their financial capabilities and banking.
00:19:41.960Why do you suppose it is that we haven't done that?
00:19:43.980I think, honestly, I think it's a lack of courage.
00:19:50.440Why is it the state of Arizona doesn't have the Department of Public Safety on that border?
00:19:56.260Why is it the state of Arizona doesn't have task forces working with the county sheriffs, whether it's Yuma, whatever the county, on the border?
00:20:05.460And making sure that this stuff is being hit forward, because, you know, that where it lands now is right in the community in Phoenix.
00:20:22.420They don't even have to buy it because it's in every kind of drug.
00:20:25.640It's in the carpets of some daycare centers where those kids are going to die.
00:20:30.300And we have a Congress that to this point and a president to this point who hasn't done a damn thing about the loss of 100,000 lives every single year, almost twice what we lost in Vietnam for crying out loud.
00:21:13.100And so many of our county sheriffs that I've gotten to know over the past few years, they're doing the best they can.
00:21:18.340But without the help of the federal government, they're still hamstrung quite a bit.
00:21:22.340So this is why classifying them as a terrorist organization would allow a lot to happen in terms of limiting their financial capabilities.
00:21:31.360But when you talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene's bringing the article impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, this needed to be done before.
00:21:38.020And I'm really glad to see her do that.
00:21:39.640But, you know, this is where Republicans, the House side, we have to understand the position we're in.
00:21:43.700We're dealing with Joe Biden as president.
00:21:45.420So we have one half of the legislature in D.C.
00:21:49.160But we have to bring attention to this because the American people, they're suffering.
00:21:53.380And they're suffering not only in Arizona, but you see finally in Chicago and New York, you see so many people waking up to the fact of the illegal immigrant crisis where all these cities were one sanctuary cities.
00:22:04.680And now all of a sudden they're trying to turn away from that model because they all of America now knows that the Democrats policies bring misery and chaos.
00:22:13.800And now when it's finally at their front door, they don't like it.
00:22:17.440And that's where I'm excited for, you know, next November when we finally take back the controls of government.
00:22:23.860And hopefully it's not just at the federal level, but at the county level, at the state level, even the school board level, as you mentioned.
00:22:30.640It's going to really bring in this new revolution.
00:22:34.060And again, so many people are waking up because it's no longer this 30,000 foot view.
00:22:39.120When you have at their schools, when they're starting to have, you know, basically genital mutilation, Lou, I mean, they're calling for, you know, the Democrats like to use these terms, gender affirming care, right?
00:22:49.040They use these fancy terms, but the parents now know what's actually happening.
00:22:52.860And that's where Republican policies is America first policies.
00:22:56.740It's really resonating with so many folks because it's it's about common sense.
00:23:01.400And I think so many people now recognize where the Democrats have led this country to has been a place where has really created a lot of division.
00:23:09.000And it's really causing people to suffer.
00:23:11.460I mean, people here in Arizona, inflation is one of the highest in the states and from other states.
00:23:17.160And just in the past three years, we've had our dollar devalued by 25 percent, Lou.
00:23:22.360And this is due to an irresponsible federal government that it doesn't care about the people right now.
00:23:27.780And what it's focused on is a lot of the corporations and a lot of the global interest.
00:23:31.800But we have to go back down to the basics where the people are suffering.
00:23:34.880And that's where the people's house can do the most the most success and bringing back power to the people.
00:23:40.700You know, I and I couldn't agree with you more.
00:24:37.700Give us your your thoughts about the the people of Arizona you would represent and what you can guarantee them you'll do in their interest, not the national interest, not the, you know, the large global picture.
00:24:52.420But what you'll do for a man and woman in retirement in Arizona, a working family in Arizona, a single parent with a couple of kids.
00:25:06.540Well, if you look at what's going on, you know, here I am, the son of Syrian immigrants, and I've seen what's happened, you know, through my family's experience where I've had family flee places like Venezuela and Syria.
00:25:19.660And, you know, a lot of what's going on in this country reminds me of what happened to those places where you suddenly have the the Democrats come in and they take over every institution and they start to impose these policies.
00:25:34.680And it's really starting to affect, you know, people at the at a local level, like we're talking about the school boards.
00:25:41.740I mean, I've never seen before parents waking up now and so interested in the curriculum in their schools where then suddenly they're looking at the books and there's pornography in it, Lou.
00:25:52.580And for me, when I'm seeing, you know, when I talk to parents, when I talked, I actually have a meeting later today with with some of the Jewish leaders here in the district.
00:26:02.140And it's because now the rise of anti-Semitism, it's something that we haven't experienced before, because, you know, suddenly after October 7th with the Hamas terrorists, what they've done to Israel.
00:26:12.500Now people in our community don't feel safe. And I think it all comes down to the idea that the Democrats have created this culture of fear and division.
00:26:21.960And so much of this has to do with the Marxist ideology where they take over and they try to brainwash the people.
00:26:28.600So you have all these acts of terror happening across the country.
00:26:32.640But here in the district, we've had to up security at these Jewish Chabads.
00:26:37.400And it's it's so sad to see people who are just trying to live their life, Lou, where they're trying to go to synagogue or church or whatever religious service they're going to.
00:26:47.300And they're being targeted. And if you look at that and it's all to do with this failed Biden policy and it's affecting our district at levels I've never seen before here in Arizona.
00:26:58.800So, you know, when you talk about, you know, inflation and what we can do to combat that, I think one of the biggest portions when people go to the grocery store, I feel it.
00:27:07.820I go to the grocery store and suddenly when you have milk costs six dollars a gallon, you have eggs costing six, six dollars a carton.
00:27:15.380It's unacceptable to the average family. And when I'm in D.C., I want to work with our partners here in the Republican Party where we have now a solid majority.
00:27:25.000And I do think that they're patriots. A lot of them are patriots. We need to start finding solutions to the to to what to what to to to reduce these costs of living to actually increase prosperity.
00:27:36.340And so much of what I've seen coming out of D.C., you're right. It is a lot of noise.
00:27:41.700It's a lot of talking points on Fox News or whatever they're going on, the TV shows.
00:27:46.180But it really needs to understand the people and be the voice of them in D.C.
00:27:51.020But what I sense the most, Lou, when I dealt with this last November with the election fiasco here in Arizona, Congressional District 8, the West Valley of Maricopa, got hit the hardest with our elections.
00:28:03.500You know, bringing some confidence back in our elections is very important right now.
00:28:07.880At the federal level, I'd like to join the election caucus, election integrity caucus that I know so many Republicans have set up, because I think what we need to have done is a lot of federal solutions on some of our local some of our local politicians who have where Soros has now captured so many of these county recorders offices, bringing back the idea that your vote matters.
00:28:29.340And it's something I have a particular expertise now, because something we discovered in our lawsuit was the voter rolls, Lou, are completely I mean, they are completely taken over.
00:30:13.520You didn't file it because you have a lot of trust in the electoral system, right?
00:30:17.500I filed it because I'm trying to restore the trust in it.
00:30:20.240And I and I think if the problems are not resolved by twenty twenty four, it's going to continue to cast doubt and so much.
00:30:27.540We just had an election here in Arizona on Tuesday and they were giving out wrong information on the times of when the polls closed.
00:30:35.480This is the amount of incompetence and negligence that that that that are in our elections right now.
00:30:40.980And the courts, unfortunately, haven't been very favorable to us Republicans.
00:30:45.340You saw just recently in Connecticut where a judge ordered a new election when it was decided from two hundred fifty votes out of eight thousand.
00:30:52.080But here in Arizona, in many ways, it seems like the courts are captured.
00:30:56.020We where they keep telling us, oh, we need evidence.
00:30:58.560Well, we have the evidence, but we're being delayed, delayed, delayed by the legal system.
00:31:03.060So, you know, we've been trying to do our part right now to try to safeguard the twenty twenty four election by filing these lawsuits in a preemptive manner.
00:31:10.560I'm going to be looking forward to you solving these problems and leading by solution, which I think is a wonderful prospect for the state of Arizona.
00:31:20.820I think you're immensely qualified and I admire you greatly.
00:31:24.440Hey, thanks for being with us here on The Great America Show.
00:31:27.420We appreciate it so much and and best of luck in twenty twenty four.
