So we ve been in new york funny saying that six years ago, two thousand and sixty and seven years ago, we just got sanctions in new york. We couldn't get in to new york for a long time. And I had nothing to do what the u.

fc. Was about the colony union. If you can believe that, I can believe, yeah, the fort us.

Were my partners in this back then. And the colony union from last vegas was keeping us out of new york. Member, that criminal shill silver, he was blocking us from coming to new york.

And apparently I was the only guy in the world that knew this guy was a crock and a criminal. Nobody here, but find, anyway, we get in the new york. And tonight, as we sit here at night, we're going to do a twelve point two million dollar a gate. We are number one, number two and number three all time and medicine square garden in just seven years.

That's unbelievable. It's awesome. So I ask you off the top. But like you were in partnership with them, then you went to modeller, you're back and partners with but light that suggests to me that bud light is improving.

Yeah listen, bud light, you know, i'm getting in to this point in my life and in my career where I want to be with people and sponsors that I am aligned with, which makes sense in this crazy world that we live in these days. And let me tell you what, if you consider yourself a patriot, right? You're a patriot. You should be drinking gallons of but light, believe me. I tell you.

I.

You should have blood light drums stacked up in your garage and drinking and write out of the kg. They are way more aligned with you than most of these other bigger companies are that I guarantee you take IT from somebody who's in the know who does business with beer companies. You are way more a line with bd light.

And you are with. So I I mean, they didn't come in department with you by accident. No.

obviously had multiple .

bitters on the multiple .

bitterness on the table. They were one of them. And as I know, history has showed me with relationships that i've had with other beer companies.

I who learn more this way. Yeah, I who consider myself a patch. I don't crazy of the whole patria think, but I consider myself a proud american.

I'm happy to be in american. I love this country. And you are way more aligned within high or bush. Then you are with other beer companies that .

I guarantee you have you taken any crap .

for IT this the people we're going to say, what we're going to say, I don't ever I don't care what people I know, who I am, I know what I stand for. I know what I believe in. And the people who are close to me know. And i'm on the right side of this, believe me. When I tell you, interesting.

the flags in the octagon. Where are you on that and why am back?

I mean, we ve brought back. The problem is.

is you fight, bring their national flags into a global business?

yes. okay. And I try to respect everybody's freedom of speech, free dom of choice, exit. Except when you walk in, you should be proud of the country you live in.

Everybody who lives in amErica should walking with an american flag, should love your country, should be prouty country. The sad part is, most of these people from other countries are the people who are most proud of, whether from and not as here. So IT became an issue with some of the guys.

They want to come and they want to bring their flags, like mexicans, who are more proud to be mexican than mexicans. You know, to me, they Carry their flags. Their people support their people.

The U. K, their people support their people, like mexican support their people. And you should be able to walk in with with, with your country's flags.

So I brought you back.

We under pressure not to when you deal with, you know, you know, when you deal with some of these these work, a lunatics that are out there, you know, people have problems with some people's lax. And I don't so you don't care.

I don't care, doesn't matter what the flag is. I don't care so long as you're from there.

you get your flag, you're from there, you should be able to support where you're from, one a percent. What's wrong with that, no matter what other people's feelings? The same thing that I went through with russia, we have lots of russians who fight here.

Yeah, we're not. They well, too. They are a part of this company.

You know, we have signed them, not gonna, not let them compete, not let them fight, because that from russia for thinking could be, absolutely, they can come here, fight and support their families. Yeah, yeah. So they're not .

responsible for the foreign policy of .

the government .

they live under well.

and we're not other exactly.

So you've talked up ubu, doby, this tiny, little emerge in the person golf for a long time. what? why? Abb, doby.

I love everything about IT. These guys are a forward thinkers, open minded, the infrastructure that they have built in that incredible city. And I tell people all the time, if you have never been to a fight and avoid a, you have to come experience this place.

And when covered hit, these guys were light years ahead of everyone else when I came to cover testing the whole thing. And that's where we created fight island and where we ran through covered was with them. And because they're so progressive and brilliant, they're brilliant.

You you're calling a theocracy progressive.

It's a monarchy, right? Very progressive. You don't feel that way when you go there.

It's not what's funny is because because of the things that we hear about the middle east here in amErica have our whole lives yeah people afraid to go there. scared. Never felt safer for anywhere.

Then I felt when i'm in up, they don't have a crime problem. They do not have a crime problem. They have a crime problem.

They deal with crime the way crime should be done. Yeah, a crime is in a problem of certain. And the royal family over there are some of the most humble, brilliant, amazing human beings you could possibly meet. I love those people. I consider them all a very, very close friends of I I I grew that .

for the record um they are humble and they are forward thinking. They are not just talking about next election.

Hundred percent are .

incredible. But you know, when you were twenty three, did you everything we get to a place where you felt free and abedi than in other places?

no. Well, I was twenty three. That was the last thing I was talking about anyway. But yeah, no, it's it's it's been a cool experience for me to create the relationship that I created over there. And I value IT very much.
