0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:08.719
<v Speaker 1>if we ever feel I need to be a doge man,

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>did she get the lease I had become donkey of

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>January tenth. U goes to UFC President Dana White. Now,

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>this situation happened when we were off for holiday break,

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and I actually meant to get right to this yesterday,

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.279
<v Speaker 1>but I wasn't thinking about it, and I felt bad

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't thinking about it, because that's probably one of

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.519
<v Speaker 1>the reasons, you know, Jamie Fox and Dale hugely were

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.559
<v Speaker 1>criticizing the coverage of the fight that Dana White got

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>into with his wife because it doesn't seem like people

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>are thinking about it. Yes, if you haven't heard of

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>footage was released to Dana White getting into a physical

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>altercation with his wife on New Year's Eve. Let's go

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to Fox Houston twenty six forty port. Please back to

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the factor on sensitive Vault New Year's Eve for UFC

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>president Dana White. Here and his wife were spotted slapping

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>each other. Now. The incident was called on camera in

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.479
<v Speaker 1>a New Year's Eve nightclub in Cabo, Mexico. No word

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>on what happened beforehand, but White has since apologized, saying

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>there are new excuses for putting your hands on his wife.

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>That's true. Okay, now listen, do I really have to

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>sit here and have a conversation about why putting your

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>hands on a woman is wrong? Well, I guess, y'all,

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess I do. Since folks are still out here

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>doing it. You know, I don't care if it's your girlfriend,

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>wife's sister. Just know. Okay, I heard people saying, you know,

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>she slapped Dana White first, so Dana slapped her back.

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I promise you, in the court of public opinion, that's

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a scenario you really can't win. I don't know if

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>you can win that in a court of law, I

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>really don't. Maybe a judge will look at it this

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>self defension. Maybe a judge won't. I don't know. I

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>just feel if a woman puts their hands on you,

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have women around you to handle that situation, run, Okay,

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you can't win. What did Adrian tell a Rocky when

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>he was gonna fight the Russian? You can't. Before there

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>were reasons to fight, I could understand that. I don't

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>understand this. Even if you win, what have you won?

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Apollo still gone? Why can't you change your thinking? Everybody

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 1>else does because I'm a fighter. That's the way I

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>made Adrian, that's what you married. We can't change what

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 1>we are. You can't change anything, Adrian. All we can

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>do is just go with what we are. You can't

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>go with what you are. Have you read the papers?

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what everybody says? It's suicide. You can't win.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>Jesus you know? Well, thank you Adrian for believing in me. Okay,

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>By the way, we don't talk about that enough. The

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>fact that Rocky beat the Russian in spite of Adrian

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>not believing. Okay, So what she came to Russia with

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 1>him to train that wasn't support. She was there because

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>she thought Rocky was gonna get killed by the Russian.

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Two that's true. Go back to the matter at hand,

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Dana White. Is there a double standard in the way

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the media covers domestic violence in regard to Dana White?

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>We have seen how the media responded to Chris Brown

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>different circumstances because another superstar, you know, was the victim.

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 1>We've seen how they covered ray Rice, even though ray

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>rice video footage was way more violent. But domestic violence

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>is domestic violence, right. But I saw and heard some

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>people who were defending Dana White. Some folks were saying,

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>he's the president of the the UFC, and when people think

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>mm may they think violence. So his actions, you know,

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>weren't surprising to some people. But football is violent. Boxing

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 1>is violent. But I don't see football players in boxes,

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting defended in the media. Now, the legends

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Fox and Dale hugely, you know, ask them questions.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Dale hugely said, what can Brown do for you? Apparently

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>not a damn thing if they if that had been

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a brother, they'd be NonStop coverage, dredging up a playground

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>fight from the third grade, scouring old tweets, you name it.

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Dana White's entire life is immersed in brutal, physical violence.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>He's a master fortune from it. Where are the selasious headlines?

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Where's depression? Oh? He apologized? Hashtag white privilege scores a

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.160
<v Speaker 1>first round knockout yet again. Jamie Fox Co signed it

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and said, effin preach. Now, Dana White did apologize, Let's

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>listen to it. I'm in Cobb, Mexico, you know, for

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the holidays with my family, and my wife and I

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>were out Saturday night on New Year's Eve. You know,

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately that's what happened. You know, you've heard me say

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>for years there's never ever an excuse for a guy

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to put his hands on a woman. And now here

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>I am on TMZ talking about it. But my wife

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and I have been married for almost thirty years. We've

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>known each other since we were twelve years old. We've

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>obviously been through some shit together and we've got three kids,

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, this is one of those situations that's,

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, horrible. I'm embarrassed. You don't put your hands

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 1>on a woman. Ever. He's right, you know, put you

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>hands on a woman. Ever. He's owning up to it.

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's apologizing. Like I said, I've heard boxes

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>football players, you know, they've been in these same situations.

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>They apologize and they were still demonized. Here's the thing

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree with, deal Hugo, But this is what I

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>would say. Mainstream media, whatever that means nowadays, is reporting

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.919
<v Speaker 1>on Dana White. Think this outrage that DL is looking

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>for this NonStop coverage just you know, pulling up old tweets,

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, pulling up old fights from third grade. I

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>don't care what y'all say. That comes from social media. Okay,

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that comes from Twitter a lot of the times. Okay.

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>The only reason the mainscream media has moved on from

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>this is because it doesn't seem like a hot story

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>because there's no reaction from social media. I keep telling

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>y'all over and over. If you you know, if if

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you you know, want these mainstream outlets to react, then

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you have to make them react. You know, most of

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>these mainscream outlets are reacting to what's happening on social media.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 1>You can be watching one of these networks CNN, MSNBC,

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>and when some foolish celebrity nonsense starts trending on social media,

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>they will stop talking about actual issues, about actual issue

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>going on in the world to report on the celebrity nonsense. Now,

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>is there a double standing on how mainstream media covers

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 1>of black people and white people? Of course it is, okay,

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>always has been, but there is other screams and social

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>media really sadly is the screen that matters nowadays. So

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>if you want people to cover Dana White, and you

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>got to cause him up for on social media. But

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:14.239
<v Speaker 1>more importantly, what's the ask? You can't just make noise? Okay.

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I've told y'all this a million times. Power concedes nothing

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 1>without a demand. It never did and it never will.

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>That's the word to Frederick Douglas. Okay, you can't just say, oh,

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the media isn't covering Dana White, because they are. What

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you really want is Dana to have consequences for his actions.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>But who is going to impose those consequences? Okay? Who

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to push to have consequences? You know? Leveled

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>against Dana White? Is Dana White being covered different because

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>he's white, rich, powerful ords He being covered different because

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>she hit him first and it could be considered self defenses.

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>He being covered different because he apologized and he owned

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>up to it. I don't know, okay, but I do

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>know he's gonna get the credit he deserves for being stupid.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>So please give Dana White the biggest he huh. Let

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>m Mark give Dana White the biggest he ha he

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>ha he ha. He's stupid, motherfu are you dumb. I

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>haven't heard him yet this year, all right. I'm sure

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>she'll be yess co hosting at some point, I hope. So, yes,

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, you know those are questions I do want

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to know, Like it, is Dana White being covered different

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>because he's white, rich and powerful? Is he being covered

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>different because she hit him first? Nick could be considered

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>self defense because I've heard people say that. Or is

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>he being covered different because he apologized and he owned

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>up to it? Which is it? All right, well, let's

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>one five one. Why do you feel that Dana White's

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>coverage is a little different than some of the other

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>things that we've seen before. Is it because his wife

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>hit him first? Is it because he's white? Is it

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>because we haven't stressed it enough? As I said, you know,

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>people forget Frederick Douglas said that the best power concedes

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>nothing without a demand. So even when we say these things,

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>like you know, mainscream media isn't covering it. You know,

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>where's the outrage? I mean, they are covering it. What

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you're really asking is how come there isn't any consequences

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to his actions? That's what you're asking all right, we'll

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>get to that next. Taking your calls, eight hundred five

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>y five one oh five one is the Breakfast Club.

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
